Pomponii Melae De orbis situ libri tres, accuratissime emendati, una cum commentariis Ioachimi Vadiani Helvetii castigatioribus, & multis in locis auctioribus factis : id quod candidus lector obiter, & in transcursu facile deprehendet. Adiecta sunt praeterea loca aliquot ex Vadiani commentarijs summatim repetita, & obiter explicata: in quibus æstimandis oensendisq[ue] doctorissimo uiro Ioanni Camerti ordinis Minorum theologo, cum Ioachimo Vadiano non admodum conuenit. Rursum epistola Vadiani, ab eo [...]nè ad Rudolphum Agricolam iuniorem scripta, non indigna lectu, nec inutilis ad ea capienda, quæ aliubi in commentarijs suis libare magis, quàm longius explicare uoluit.
