The following excerpt is the original Latin of the passage from Gabriel Clauder (1686) translated in the text.

Felis Sciurum pariens—Summe miraculosos ac quotidie quasi novos e Natura abysso lusus ас metamorphoses modis in numeris parefieri, certissmum est, quas describere, non eft humana crenae opus. Ob diversas causas unica hic sufficiat talis historia: Felis domestica à coitu cum Sciuro parit tres catos sui generis & unum Sciurum; dictus Sciurus ob raritatem a Viro illustrisummis in deliciis haditus, ne minima Naturae matrissantis indicia prae se ferebat; veluti quidem catuli felini ne minimum patrisabant.”
