Csaba Csapodi notes that Stanistaw Warszewicki (1529-1591), when publish¬
ing his own Latin translation in 1552, referred to the knowledge taken from Ob¬
sopaeus in his recommendation to King Sigismund Augustus IT (1520-1572) of
Poland. In the recommendation, Warszewicki says that the Greek text has now
gone from “refugee status” to once again being in a royal library through his Latin
translation.

Latino habitu sumpto, Regium KeıunAiou in Regiam Bibliothecam reducatur'?3®
