Excerpt from Index Lectionum in Universitate Litterarum Vratislaviensi per Aestatem A. MDCCCLIII. A Die XI. Mensis Aprilis Habendarum: Insunt Fr. Haasli Ad L. Annaei Senecae Dialogorum Librorum Vi. Adnotationes Criticae
Cum proponimus vobis, commilitones humauissimi, copiosissimum scholarum indicem, quae in vestrum usum vobis et plurimae numero et genere diversissimae ofi'eruntur, facile existirnabitis, qui olim voluerunt in academus nostris tot ac tam varia litterarum studia con iangi, hac id eos mente feeisse, quod vetere praecepto crederent nihil humani a nobis alie num esse; quo praecepto ut imprudenter ii abutuntur, qui leves per omnia studiorum genera vagantur, ita magna cum utilitate utuntur 11, qui cum in uno studio sedem certam ac stabilem fixerint, simul tamen cognoscere student et qua id necessitudine cum reliquis cohaereat et quae eius origines, quae fata, qui gradus fuerint; ita enim continget, ut non in uno quasi angulo litterarum defixi haereant et tamquam sutores quidam ultra crepidam suam nihil vi deant, sed cum et studiorum et temporum omnium continuam quandam cohaerentiam esse intelligent, quidquid ex aliis studiis aliis?e temporibus utilitatis peti potest, id omne circum specte et sapienter in eas quas ipsi colunt litteras convertant. Quamobrem ndem maiores nostri, qui tam diversa litterarum genera in una academia vel in uno, ut olim dicebant, studio generali comprehenderunt, publicum academiae oratorem ex eo potissimum studiorum ge 'nere creaverunt, in quo reliqua omnia haberent communem fontem et vinculum; id autem antiquis litteris contineri ii quoque fatentur, qui mira vanitate in praesentium temporum do etrina adeo sibi placent, ut praestantissima superiorum seculorum ingenia contemptui habeant. Quare vetere more nos quoque, cum de omnis generis scientia scholas vobis indicimus, ex antiquitate petimus praefationis argumentum, et iterum vobis L. Senecam proponimus, cuius dialogorum librum VI, qui est inter reliquos facile princeps sed idem multis locis graviter depravatus, diligenter emaculare studuimus; in quo libro non solum philosophi habebunt, quae de eius argumento et fontibus quaerant, sed etiam theologi cognoscent, quam prope saepe ad christianam doctrinam Stoicorum accesserit philosophia, et iureconsulti videbunt.
