Neque enim te fugit omnium laudatarum artium procreatricem
quandam et quasi parentem eam, quam φιλοσοφίαν
Graeci vocant, ab hominibus doctissimis iudicari; in qua
difficile est enumerare quot viri quanta scientia quantaque
in suis studiis varietate et copia fuerint, qui non una aliqua
in re separatim elaborarint, sed omnia, quaecumque possent,
vel scientiae pervestigatione vel disserendi ratione comprehenderint.

Quis ignorat, ei, qui mathematici vocantur,
quanta in obscuritate rerum et quam recondita in arte et
multiplici subtilique versentur? Quo tamen in genere ita
multi perfecti homines exstiterunt, ut nemo fere studuisse
ei scientiae vehementius videatur, quin quod voluerit consecutus
sit. Quis musicis, quis huic studio litterarum, quod
profitentur ei, qui grammatici vocantur, penitus se dedit,
quin omnem illarum artium paene infinitam vim et materiem
scientia et cognitione comprehenderit?
