A N

ACCOUNT

Of the Famous
Enigmatical Epitaph,
Which is seen near
B O L O N I A
£L1A LAELIA C<siISflS, &c.

npHis Epitgph has made so much noise in the
.1 World, and so much exercised the Criticks,
thaf perhaps the Reader would have been pleased
to have found a more particular Account thereof
in my Letters from Bolonia. I would indeed
have somewhat iislarged thereupon, but 1 cpnli-
dered, that I could not do it without engaging
my sels into a digression too long for a Letter.
• a I contented my self therefore to insert the Epi-
'£*’ rBrfraph it self; but having now an opportunity in
i sh’s Third Edition to make some Additions to my
nia/A/^ former Letters, I hope the Reader will kindly
fir.ee accept the following Account of that famous Rid-
tbdt die, which I have mostly collected from the Con-
rversition I had with Dr. * Charles Casar Malvafia.
