 Galatino was aware, no less than his critics, that his "De Arcanis" had many shortcomings, both in matter and form, and he begged his readers to consider that he was compelled to finish it within the space of a year and a half.The work became very popular and ran through several editions.For the rest, Galatino's extensive knowledge and his thorough acquaintance with Greek, Hebrew, and Jewish Aramaic is fully borne out by his numerous other unpublished writings.
