Question for John

[Michael]

Hi John,

Per the question I asked under Patricks topic, is this implying Bessler got his idea from other sources?

Thanks.

Michael
managed to discover a method devised ( originally by) Dittonus as well as Whistonus Angli, (who have skills) famous & outstanding.

Hi Michael;
If I may adress this:

Michael;
In reference to your question; it seems that the writer is simply giving his opinion/speculating as to how Orffyreus came up with such an astounding invention. He lists people at the time who were known to have researched Perpetual Motion. The bracketed phrase "(originally by)" is not in the original Latin and I inserted that to add coherent flow to the translation. I should have put "(also researched by)" since obviously the writer is indicating that no one had been succussful up to that point. Hope that helps to clarify that part of the text.
