...most glorious memory, passed into the Augusta Library, a greatest ornament to it, as the most learned Director of this treasure today, the illustrious JACOB BURCKHARD, deals extensively with this matter in History of the Augusta Library, Vol. I. Wolfenbüttel, 1744. 4to. p. 262 et seq.

But these things regarding its history; as far as its internal value is concerned, it is entirely full, as much as it is, with the most erudite scholia, castigations, and corrections of that supreme SCALIGER inscribed in the margin by his own hand, such that in the Aldine edition, they carry the reader into total admiration of so many, and such grave, corrections of the text. It would certainly be permitted to give a specimen of them at present, but I reserve such a treasure of erudition for another time, intending to communicate it with the public good shortly.
