Remarks | The two towers mentioned by Solier were perhaps the remains of a siphon. The manuscript 759 is a copy, made by the Baron of Méjanes, of the manuscript signed by Solier, today incomplete, particularly Book 1 (Aix-en-Provence, Bibliothèque Méjanes, ms. 758) |
Transcription
« unde fontium caniculi derivantur extant castella duo turrium instar omnino integre immensæ profunditatis ex lapide quadrato plene aque ad summitates usque quæ supra terræ superficiem non attollantur nec constat quis quove tempore structuram hujus suspiciendi operis tam alte demiserit. »
