Strana 274 - Gaffarel (James) Unheard-of Curiosities : concerning the Talismanical Sculpture of the Persians ; The Horoscope of the Patriarkes, and the Reading of the Stars.
Strana 69 - Navarre, that day six weeks, by nine o'clock in the morning, when he would attend them and be ready to answer to whatever should be proposed to him in any art or science, and in any of these twelve languages : Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, Greek, Latin, Spanish, French, Italian, English, Dutch, Flemish, and Sclavonian ; and this either in verse or prose, at the discretion of the disputant.
Strana 112 - Disputatio de Supposito in qua plurima hactenus inaudita de Nestorio tanquam orthodoxo et de Cyrillo Alexandrine, aliisque Episcopis Ephesi in Synodum coactis.
Strana 218 - ... is supposed to have been published from that press. Secondly; The silence of Caxton, concerning a fact in which he is said to be a principal actor, is a sufficient confutation of it: for it was a constant custom with him, in the prefaces or conclusions of his works, to give an historical account of all his labours and transactions, as far as they concerned the publishing and printing of books. And, what is still stronger...
Strana 198 - I shall read this great and good philosopher of the stage with pleasure and improvement as long as I live ; but in this magnificent edition many egregious blunders have been committed, many frivolous and ill-founded conjectures have been hastily indulged and petulantly obtruded, and the Greek text inelegantly and injudiciously pointed.

Strana 40 - Alphabet is followed; the Greek word being first given, to which are subjoined its different acceptations in Latin. Then follow the different Hebrew words, which are explained by the Greek word in the Septuagint version. These different Hebrew words are arranged under the Greek in their alphabetical order, with the passages of Scripture, where they occur.
Strana 111 - But ornament is too visible in his writings. His art is wonderful, but it is perceived. When the orator is providing for the safety of the Republic, he forgets not himself, nor permits others to forget him. Demosthenes seems to escape from himself, and to see nothing but his country. He seeks not elegance of expression ; unsought for, he possesses it. He is superior to admiration. He makes use of language as a modest man does of dress, only to cover him. He thunders, he lightens. He is a torrent...
Strana 108 - He lost his father at 7 years of age ; and was placed under the conduct of guardians, who robbed him of his substance, and neglected his education. Demosthenes soon repaired this loss by his extraordinary abilities. He became the disciple of Isauis and Plato, and studied the Orations of Isocrates.
Strana 21 - The name of the printer, place of his residence, &c. were either wholly neglected, or put at the end of the book, not without some pious ejaculation or doxology. The date was likewise omitted or involved in some...
Strana 121 - Historia muscorum in qua circiter sexcentae species veteres et novae ad sua genera relatae describuntur, et iconibus genuinis illustrantur, cum appendice et indice synonymorum.
