Excerpt from Historicorum Romanorum Reliquiae: Collegit Disposuit Recensuit Praefatus Est

Sterilitate rei saepe numero deterritus fide promissae totiens retractus hoc Opus, cuius priorem partem ante hos triginta sex annos in publicmn edidi, tandem ad finem per texui. Nimirum cum adsiduitate et constanfia. Scriptores etiam posterioris aetatis maximeque ecclesiastici peruolnendi erant, etsi exigua. Spes incitabat ex his numerum fragmenùorum augendi. Nam illornm studium uersandi in eis historiis, quae post Augusti principai5um compositae sunt, legendis et trac ta.ndis praeter eas, quae etiam nunc supersunt, post brene tempus elanguit, paula...tim exstinctum est, tenues autem sen tentiae paucioraque nerba. Quae ex illis apud ecclesiasticos seruata sunt, si Augustini Varronianum exceperis, raro ipso rum doctrinae debentur, etiam rarius, quo longiore spatio is, cui debemus, ah auctoribus distabat, ita, ut saepius per con 'plures manus quasi hereditate usque ad mostram memoriam propagata sint.
