2. 1644. Small 8vo. Lugd. Bat., Hack.

A reprint of No. 1, the text ending on p. 235. This is probably the edition mentioned by Merryweather, as follows:-"I see Hackius, the Leyden printer, hath made a new impression, . . . as is easily observable by the difference of the pages, and the omission of the Errata, which were noted in the first, though the title-page be the same in both." This edition also is probably scarce, as it is not noticed by Wilkin or Gardiner.' (London Medical Society.)

3. (No date). Small 8vo. [Paris.]

66

The usual frontispiece-title, and the words, "Juxta Exemp. Lug. Batavor. 1644." It contains 244 pp. of text (some of those at the end of the volume being numbered wrongly), and 3 pp. of "Anacephalæosis:" the French verses in Pt. ii. § 4 are omitted. This is probably the edition mentioned by Merryweather in a letter to Sir T. B. (vol. iii. p. 486, ed. Bohn), as follows :—. When I came to Paris the next year after [1645 ?], I found it printed again, in which edition both the Epistles were left out, and a Preface by some papist put in their place, in which, making use of and wresting some passages in your book, he endeavoured to show that nothing but custom and education kept you from their Church." The volume is probably scarce, as Gardiner appears never to have seen it. (Ashburnham Place.)

4. (No date.) 12mo. [Paris.]

The usual frontispiece-title page, with the words, "Juxta exemp. Lug. Batavor. 1644:" contains pp. 174, with the

Wilkin thought that No. 5 was the edition mentioned by Merryweather in his letter to Sir Thomas Browne; but if so, there must be some mistake

A reprint of No. 2, with the usual frontispiece-title; the text ending on p. 235. (Univ. Libr. Camb.)

Argent., Spoor.

The usual frontispiece-title, and at the foot of the plate the words: "Religio Medici, cum Annotationibus. Argentorati, Sumptibus Friderici Spoor, 1652." It contains: 1. the Editor's Preface, signed with the letters "L. N. M. E. M.," which are supposed to mean, Levinus Nicolaus Moltkius (or Moltkenius) Eques Misniensis (or Mecklenbergensis, or Megalapolitanus);—2, 3, 4. the Prefaces of the Translator, the Author, and the Paris Editor;5. the Latin text, with Annotations at the end of each section;-6. the "Anacephalæosis," &c. ;-7. a lengthy "Index Rerum quæ in Annotatis continentur ; "—and 8. a list of Errata on the last page. The Annotations are learned and useful, but intolerably prolix and tedious, and swell out the little book to pp. 440. (British Museum.) 7. 1665. Small 8vo. Argent., Spoor.

Apparently, an exact reprint of No. 6, except the Errata on the last page. (British Museum.)

Probably a reprint of No. 7. (Wadh. Coll. Oxford.) 9. 1692. 12mo. Francof.

After the usual engraved title, the following printed title, "Religio Medici. Dat is: Nootwendige beschrijvinge van Mr. Thomas Browne,” &c.

1668. 12mo. [La Haye.]

1680. 4to. Leipz. (Watt, Biblioth. Britann.)

Wilkin also mentions an edition in 4to. Leipz. 1680, by Christian Knorr, Baron of Rosenroth (calling himself Christian Peganius), which, however, he had never seen.

Sir Thomas Browne, in a letter to John Aubrey, dated March 14, 1672(3), says that the work had then been translated into High Dutch, and also into Italian, which latter translation neither Wilkin nor Gardiner, nor the present Editor, has ever met with.
