Lecturis valere & gaudere.

Postquam mihi curandae ANATOMIAE publicae demandata fuit provincia, illud Sedulo operam dedi ut mea cura tam ad cives nostros, quam ho­spites, quibus famae Leydensis innotuit Anato­miae, redundaret utilitas. Variis haec & huculen­tis Clarissimorum virorum instructa Donariis, quaeque tem­poris invidia, & Longa Oblivione obruta jacebant, in sinu Scivat reclusa. Quicquid videt cum maxime oriens & Occi­dens: Omne missa in compendium via Ostentat, & ne con­fusa CHAOS intentionis aciem vestrae abrumperet, ita in hoc Catalogo discripsi, & disposui omnia, ut nullo opere quaerentibus occurant Spectanda.

VALE LECTOR, & fruere.

IN THEATRUM ANATOMICUM, LUGD. BATAV.

Aviena, qui Batavas spectatum veneris oras;
Huc age, quae stupeas inclyta Leyda dabit;
Huc Ubi Legiferam Cererem comitatur Osiris,
Isidos Argolicae suspice signa deae:
Frustra Deum, fragilis Fortunae idola profana,
Urnam quae cineres relligiosa notet:
Lampada, ad humanos quae non pervenerit usus,
Cui magis in cultu, cui magis apta Deûm!
Vixerit, aeternae tantum se pasta Lucernae
Flammula, an invisae Larva fit illa rei?
Qua Lacerarit acu, qualem cui Fibula vestem
Vixerit, unde sagum strinxerit, unde togatu:
Divitis Egypti pretioso cadavera, Lata
Finibus Eois, invidiosa Diis:
Singula nosse juvet, tamen his, & inania rerum,
Et maris, & terrae viscera posthabeas;
Erudit incantum te vox facunda CRAMERI,
Et claram ambiguo praestat ubique facem:
Sic saecli penetrare Sinûs, & Viscera veri,
Sic poteris Româ prodigiore frui.
