Chapter XX: Part 20

583 Muretus, in a letter dated about this time, (1581,) and addressed to
his friend Paullus Sacratus, mentions, in the strongest terms of
regret and resentment, that a Plautus, on the correction and
emendation of which he had bestowed the labour and study of
twenty-five years of his life, had been stolen from him by some
person whom he admitted to his library. (_Epist._ Lib. III. Ep. 28.)
