More than a decade ago, the two books described below were lost or
stolen in transit from my bookbinder in London. Using the internet, I
thought it might be worthwhile trying to locate them again. A liberal
reward will be paid for their return; the specific copies can be
identified. Many thanks.
COTTA, John. Cotta contra Antonium: or an Ant-Antony: or an
Ant-apology, manifesting Doctor Antony his Apologie for Aurum potable, in
true and equal balance of right reason, to be false and counterfait.
Oxford: J. Lichfield & J. Sort for H. Cripps, 1623.
4to, [6], 108 pp. Recent calf in contemporary style.
CAIUS, John. De medendi methodo libri due, ex Cl. Galeni Pergameni, et
Jo. Baptistae Montani Veronensis, principum medicorum, sententia. Opus
utile, & jam primum natum. Basileae [Apud Hieronymum Frobenium ...],
1544.
8vo, 107, [3] pp. Recent calf in sixteenth-century style.

The author of this webpage encourages all, especially those with webpages or any direct interest in the matter, to sign this petition.
Loosely put, the Italian government has passed a decree making it
illegal to use images of items of Italian heritage if you are not a
museum; the decree seems aiomed squarely at the Internet, and smells of
bureaucracy attempting to keep a preserve. At any rate, if strictly
implemented, it would force the removal of many images of Italian
antiquities from the Web (which also seems to me very stupid even from the
Italian government's own point of view: don't they want us to see the
beautiful things Italy has to offer??)
