Proponitur, Maimonidis More Nevochim typis mandandum lingua Arabica, qua ab authore primò scriptum est. Suscipiendi operis causæ sunt, I. Latina editione Buxtorfiana ante multos annos prorsus distracta & absumpta, iste liber (ad explicandas S. Scripturas Apprime utilis) hodie quovis pretio non est redimendus. II. Quamvis clarissimi Buxtorfii versio Latina (si modo haberi posset) maxima ex parte sit accurata, alicubi tamen est justo laxior, & alibi aliquando virum doctissimum fefillit linguæ Hebraicæ amphibolia, cum non esset originalem textum Arabicum consulendo. Cum itaque doctrinam dicto libro contentam ... Si autem tales notæ censeantur sacere ut hoc opus in nimiam molem excrescat, his omnibus omissis, nudus textus Arabice & Latine emittatur. De his autem penes hujus operis promotores judicium esto. Dicti operis sequitur hujusmodi Specimen.
