Joseph Justus Scaliger https://datingranking.net/it/whatsyourprice-review/, Thesaurus temporum, Leiden, 1606, p. 202: ‘Quorum usque in praesentem diem condita libris certamina perseverant.] Ea et Polycarpi martyrium hodie extant apud Eusebium in Historia Eccles. quae sunt vetustissima Ecclesiae martyria, quorum lectione piorum animus ita afficitur, ut nunquam satur inde recedat: quod quidem ita esse unus quisque pro captu suo et conscientiae modo sentire potest. Certe ego nihil unquam in historia Ecclesiastica vidi, a cuius lectione commotior recedam, ut non amplius meus esse videar. Idem sentimus de Actis Martyrum Lugdunensium et Viennensium apud eundem Eusebium, quibus quid augustius, quid venerabilius in antiquitatis Christianae monimentis legi potest?’ Isaac Casaubon underlined ‘vetustissima Ecclesiae in historia Ecclesiastica vidi, per cuius lectione commotior recedam, ut non amplius meus esse videar‘ in his copy of the book, Cambridge University Library Adv.a.3.4., and commented on the blank before the title-page: ‘202. vide.’.
