The Dutch jurist Arnold de Reyger (1559-1615?) had to flee his homeland due to political and military unrest and found refuge with his good friend Mynsinger in Helmstedt. He expressed his gratitude for the kindness shown to him there by providing Mynsinger's two main works, his Apotelesma and his Singularum Observationum Iudicii Imperialis Camerae Centuriae sex, with thousands of valuable notes and additions. These supplements complement the literature, reference to related passages, and occasionally include technical improvements. Later, he also published editions of both works with these notes and additions in a better arrangement and layout (Apotelesma for the first time in 1589, Observationes for the first time in 1591).
