How many editions were there? edit

I was trying to check whether I had guessed a letter correctly and found a Googlebooks scan: volume 4 page 90. (Their book description [1])

Just comparing a very little bit, that edition has 'majus' where vol 4 page 172 has apparently 'malus', e.g.

minora etiam ad aliquid malus agendum accenduntur.

Even more striking, where we have

Humano generi ergo connatus videtur esse gloriæ appetitus, ...

the other edition has

Humano ergò generi connatus videtur esse gloriæ appetitus, ...

Word order changed and the difference in accented 'o'!

How variable *are* these editions? Shenme (talk) 01:30, 10 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
