Meaning

Phrase.

This indirect authorial designation is printed with Amat in the 1607 title. The apparatus discusses the better-known Amo form associated with an anagram of Michael Sendivogius, but explicitly refuses to substitute it for this witness. The title’s exact letters therefore matter. The designation participates in anonymous presentation without allowing an editor to correct the evidence silently to match a familiar explanation.
