Title
Pomponii Melae De orbis situ libri tres, accuratissime eme[n]dati, vnà cum commentarijsIoachimi Vadiani Heluetij castigatioribus, & multis in locis auctioribus factis: id quod ca[n]didus lector obiter, & in transcursu facile deprehendet. Adiject sunt præterea loca aliquot ex Vadiani co[m]mentarijs summatim repetita, & explicata in quibus æstimandis censendisq[ue] doctissimo viro Ioanni Camerti ordinis minorum theologo, cum Ioachimo Vadiano non admodum conuenit. Rursum, epistola Vadiani, ab eo tenè adulescente ad Rudolphum Agricolam iuniorem scripta, non indigna lectu, nec inutilis ad ea capienda, quæ ali ubi in commentarijs suis libare magis, quàm longius explicare voluit.
