Petri Nonii Salaciensis Opera : quæ complectuntur primùm, duos libros, in quorum priore tractantur pulcherrima problemata: in altero traduntur ex mathematicis disciplinis regulae & instrumenta artis nauigandi, quibus uaria rerum astronomicarum [phainomena] circa coelestium corporum motus explorare possumus. Deinde, annotationes in Aristotelis problema mechanicum de motu nauigij ex remis : item in Georgii Purbachii planetarum theoricas annotationes, quibus multa hactenus perperam intellecta, ab alijsq́[ue] praeterita exponuntur. Eiusdem, de erratis Orontii Finoei liber vnus. Postremò, de crepusculis lib. I. cum libello Allacen de causis crepusculorum. Quae quemadmodum mole exigua vidnetur, ita virtute ingentia, lector candide, intelliges.
