Marci's letters to Kircher, revisited

[Helmut Winkler]

...  one cannot use a classical Latin dictionary ...

Well, we can look up the Medeval and Neo-Latin dictionaries and I dont see anything there but classical scheda,-ae and schedula  as diminuitive and nothing like the pseudo-Greek schedata. There is a science called philology and much of Historical research is based on it and it has its own quite stringent rules and I do think exact transcriptions matter
