Both occurrences of the name “DesCartes” or “DesChartes” are at line break; the hyphen has been omitted conjecturally. In general, spellings that appear more than once, such as “Psyc-” for “Psych-”, were assumed to be inten­tional. In corrections, the word “invisible” means that the letter is absent but there is an appropriately sized blank space.

Greek diacritics were consistently printed over the first vowel of an initial diphthong. This has been silently regularized.

Pagination

Democritus Platonissans and Cupids Conflict were each paginated from 1; other parts of the original have no visible page numbers. Individual missing numbers may have been too near the margin to be included in the facsimile. Folio numbers (signatures) are continuous for the whole text. Gaps in the sequence represent blank pages, except that A was probably a half-octavo (4 leaves instead of 8).
