Mouseia, from the original
Modern machine-assisted Musean edition by Mouseia, from Halliwell's 1842 printing. Latin entries and catalogue titles are translated; uncertain readings are marked. In the Original, 'whereof' is normalized to 'of which' in five entries. The 9 December 1579 dream is decoded and respelled, with 'sal' for the cipher's 'shal'; the other decoded cipher reads 'one uppon a hundred'. This edition decodes the remaining cipher passages. Greek follows the source transcription. The editor's preface, footnotes, index and Ashmole's separate list are omitted.
