EDITORIAL POLICY APPLIED

Recombined the decorative initial M with the following letters to form 'Memini'.
Joined line-broken words and removed typographic break marks.
Expanded nasal abbreviation marks, e.g. 'commentaremur', 'ut(er)que', 'quantum'.
Modernized u/v and long-s glyph conventions; rendered ae ligatures as ae.
Omitted running print apparatus (signature and catchword).
Preserved the unfinished sentence at the end of the scan: the transcription ends with 'quantum'. Its continuation belongs to p-014.txt.

'[triennium]': the library stamp crosses the last part of the first line of prose and nearby lines. The reading appears to be 'triennium' (three years), supported by surviving type and syntax. Brackets signal an editorial reconstruction approved by user on 2026-10-26.
The same stamp partially crosses 'enarrandae' and the preceding 'de optimo'; both appear recoverable from visible type and word sequence. If closer inspection suggests otherwise, review before acceptance.

Bottom marginal 'ab ea' is a catchword predicting the beginning of p-014, not part of p-013 running prose. The main text ends 'quantum'.

Heading is Calvin's dedication to Simon Grynaeus. 'S. D.' is retained as printed rather than expanded into the Latin body.
Commas were lightly regularized around the clause 'quem explicandum sumpsit'; review punctuation preference if strict historical punctuation is desired.
