PREFACE 



Fo R the fourth and last time I present myself to the 
Pcblic, as connected with the magnificent Library, 
the treasures of which are in part disclosed in the 
present and six preceding volumes. The Noble Owner 
of these treasures might have been well satisfied in 
setting all competition at defiance, even before he had 
made himself master of the Collection, which now, 
under the title of the Cassano Library, for the first 
time^* claims the public attention. But his zeal, taste, 
and liberal spirit, in the prosecution of that pursuit to 
which he has devoted the last thirty-Jive years of his 
life, forbade him to decline the acceptance of an oifer, 
by which the riches of his Collection might be said to 
be increased even to repletion. 

In the years 1819-20, during his Lordship*s tour 
on the Continent, The Duke di Cassano Serra, a 
nobleman highly distinguished at Naples for his 
ardour and perseverance in book-collecting — proposed 
to him the purchase of his own (the Duke*s) Col- 
lection* Such a proposition, although sufficiently 

^ That Ib to sajj in any descriptive fonn : as the Duke printed a short 
catalogue of little more than the mere titles of his books in 1807, and 
Giustiniaai availed himself of the treasures of his library in his ac- 
count of the early Neapolitan Press in 1793, 4to. 



iv PREFACE. 

temi)ting of itself^ would not have been complied mth^ 
but for tHe opportunity^ afforded in consequence, of 
strengthening some of the more defective classes of 
books in his Lordship's Collection ; among which, were 
those relating to the early Neapolitan Press. Yet, even 
on this score, the temptation would not have been suf- 
ciently strong, had not the Duke*s Library contained 
the far-famed, and long-desired, edition of Horace, 
printed at Naples in 1474, by Amoldus de Bnuoella. ♦ 
As there is no other known copy of this extraordinary 
book, its acquisition may be considered of thie very first 
importance. 
But the earlier productions of the Neapolitan Press 
included also another important edition of a Classic, 
of hardly less rarity and value: namely, that of 
Terbnce^ printed by Riessmgery without date, but pro- 
bably not later thanl47L^ Of this impression, there 
is not only no other copy in this country, but the only 
known copy of it abroad, which was inspected by me, 
at Stuttgarty% is imperfect. The other works, printed 
by Riessinger and Amoldus de Bruxella, and to be 
found in this collection^ are also of considerable con- 
sequence ; especially as relating to the early laws and 
customs of the kingdoms of Sicily and Naples.^ The 
productiondof Riessinger were usually edited by JFy*an- 
Qisco TuppOy a man of acknowledged celebrity ; and 
whose edition of iEaop (described in the third and 
following pages) is yet one of the rarest and most desi- 
rable volumes of the fifteenth century. But the PM^ 
hcolo of Boccaccio, of the date of 1478, || is perh^»

the rarest specimen of their united labours. Nor is 
the Pbtrarch of 1477^ printed by Amoldus de Brvs- 
ella/^ to be much less distinguished for its rarity. 

The name of Maraums desenredly stands high in the 
early annals of the Neapolitan Press. The Duke'Sv 
Collection (as the ensuing pages demonstrate) con- 
tained the greater part of the rarer works of that 
beautiful Printer^ including many splendid specimens 
of books of devotion^ &c.-^and among the rarer Italian 
Classics, his edition of DANTSy of the date of 1477,'f' 
may be especially noticed. The greater number of the 
works printed in the Monastery of S. Jacopo di Ripoliy 
at Florence^ will be also found described in the follow- 
ing pages ; while that exceedingly rare^ if not unique^ 
impression of the Decameron of BoccACciOi noticed in, 
the previous volume/ (pp. 299-302) and apparently 
printed at the same press> :|: renders this class of books^ 
in the Library of his Lordship^ almost complete. Mean^ 
while it may not be irrelevant to notice the very rare 
edition of the Philocolo of the same Authw^ of the date 
of 1472^ by a Florentine printer^ who is supposed (but 
erroneously) to have been a descendant of Peter Schoi-r 
ffher of Mentz.^ It may be questioned whether two 
other copies are known in this country. But while 
the rarer editions of early Italian Classics come under

) The types, as before observed, have certaialy a resemUanee to 
many of the works printed in a roman character, which issued from 
the same monastic press: but would the monks venture upon such a 
work as the Decameron of Boccaccio ? And are we not led to be- 
lieve that the rarity of early impressions of the Decameron has pro- 
eeeded from the destruction of them, instituted by the zeal of the 
monks, with Savonarola at their head }

discussion, this notice of them must not be dis- 
missed without the express mention of the Petrarch 
of 1471, printed by Laver, and that of 1473, executed 
by Zarotus :* books, which are now, almost for the 
first time, incorporated in the pages of English Biblio- 
graphy. With these, and with many others, to be 
found in the General Index of the whole seven vo- 
lumes, the Noble Owner may challenge competition 
even with the finest public library in Europe. 

A word or two remains to be said respecting the 
acquisitions, found in the Cassano Collection, to the 
rare specimens of printing at Rome ; and among these, 
the edition of Juvenal, printed by Uhic Han in his 
smallest letter, and beyond a doubt the e^tio princeps 
of the author — claims the foremost place, both for 
intrinsic and extrinsic value.^f- It is the only copy of 
the edition which has ever found its way into this coun- 
try ; and with the exception of the copy in the Ma- 
gliabecchi Library, and another in that of Count d*Elci 
at Florence, there is no other known copy of it abroad. 
These pages also contain evidence of the possession of 
two other editions of the same poet, of almost equal 
rarity ; namely, that by Gering, without date (but 
probably not later than 1471) and that by Guldinr- 
beck in 1474. % If, to such acquisitions, we add, not 
only all the other rare editions of the sam^ poet, but 
ALL the rare editions of the other Roman Poets, (and 
particularly those of Firgil, Horace^ and Ovid) it may

productions, by the same printer, there wiU be found descriptions of 
the first Roman Mmal of 1475, upon velluii : and the early Statutei 
of the Gty of Rome, probably printed in 1467 : see pages 113-166.

PREFACE. vii 

be fairly asked^ in what coUfption^ either exis ting, or 
as having existed, will there oe found such a series of 
the earlier and more precious editions of the Ancibnt 
Classics ? 

Rich as was the thbological department, in the 
first volume of the JEdes uiltkarpianae, it will be founds 
on consulting the latter pages of the present volume, 
that the riches of that department have increased. 
And when the careful reader consults the divisions of 
Theology, such as Bibles, Testaments, the Penta- 
teuch, and Gospels, in the General Index, he will 
want no additional stimulus to be convinced of the 
unrivalled collection of the Sacred Text, which the 
libraries of London and Althorp contain. 

It must not however be supposed, that the ensuing 
Collection exhibits the whole of the Cassano Library. 
A great number of rare and costly books was <lis- 
posed of, by auction,* as comprehending duplicates 
of less desirable condition, while others were retained 
as being of a preferable condition. 

On thus taking a final leave of these magnificent and 
truly precious productions, of which the description 
has occupied nearly three thousand pagesy (including 
the present or 7th volume) I might be allowed to in* 
dulge a feeling of no ordinary or irrational triumph ; 
were not that feeling embittered, in some measure, by 
a consideration of the caprice of public taste, and of 
the poverty of public patronage.^ At the termin- 

* See page 20S, post. 

t It will Dot be easily forgotten, that, on the publication of the first 
three volumes of this work, and when it was in an incomplete state, 
the price of it rose suddenly, and unaccountably, much beyond that at 
which it was brought before the public. But, when the fourth 
Tolume appeared, rendering it complete, as fiir as it went, with a 



viii PREFACE. 

ation of nine y^dars labour (more or leflfl diirersified^ or 
interrupted) upon onb work^ of which I will fearlessly 
predict its duration for the ordinary limits of human 

Gbnsral Indbz, the price feU even considerably below wbat was 
given for the three preceding volumes. I only state this fect^— to be 
registered among ** the CuriosiHei of JLi^oitire "—without offering 
any other remark than what is above submitted. 

Among the Criticisms^ to which so copious a bibliographical work 
was subjected, abroad, (for> at home, there has been no review of it 
worth particular mention) that written (as I understand) by M» 
Ebbbt^ Librarian of the Royal Library at Dresden, is among the 
most elaborate and minute. I have never seen it ; nor do I indeed 
Imam of its eidstence. But, from other specimens of M. Ebert's cri"* 
tkal skill, about to be adduced^J should suspect it to betray no sm$tt 
portion of ignorance of the English character, as weU as language, 
together with a plentiful sprinkling of personal malevolence. 

Two years ago, appeared the first volume (it having been pre- 
viously published in parts) of Mr. Ebert*s AUgememei BibUograpUkhu 
Laaoon, in 4to. ; which has continued in progress, and extended as far 
as the word Pasidrus \ — that portion of it being recently pubUahed. 
This work is doubtless entitled to very great praise, on the ground 
of diligence and research : but. when the author claimed for himself 
something like a total exemption from the errors with which he freely 
taxed his contemporaries, he necessarily provoked an examination into 
his pretensions 5 and a friend undertook * to point out a few errors in 
one article only (Abthub) of Mr. Bbert's sui^med faultless ptr* 
fo/mance. The jGerman critic was not slow to retort. 

In the same Lexicon, where my humble performances are duly 
marshalled under the letter D, the Reviewer displays a pretty strong 
disposition to under-rate what comes under his notice. I can forgive 
his depreciation of the BibUograpUcal Decameron, because it is 
evident that he is wholly divested of graphical taste, and impervious 
to the sallies of harmless mirth. Titles and colophons are the con- 
stant food upon which he feeds. The BihUotheoa SpencerUma might 
therefore have been more to his liking; but even this work is coldly 
dismissed, although his references (and of course his obligations) to 
it, in the pages of the Lexicon, are manifest and numerous.

feme — "the principal consolation leflr me, is, the con- 
viedon tliat my time and occnpations liave been ho- 
nestly and nseftilly devoted. When the Study of Bib- 
liography shall be more generally cultivated^ its uses 
will'be more generally acknowledged. It tvill be found 
to rank among those branches of antiquarian research^ 
which are as conducive to correct taste, and useftil 
inteUigence, as any other ; nor can that department of 

But all this may pass. It Is on other ^und that I here come 
forward to meet M. Ebert. In a critical Journal^ called the Hermet, 
there appeared a most elaborate review^ by him, of my Bibliogra' 
phieal, AnHquatian, and Picturesque Tour; and of which the very com- 
mencement shews the spirit in which it was undertaken. It is the 
▼nlgar language of a pr^diced iifdnd. Yet even this ought be forgiven 
•^for tbe sake of the very pains-taking analysis of the contents of the 
three volumes : an analysis, however, wholly unenlivened by one 
pleasant remark, and divested of all traits of a dispassionate judgment. 
But it is towards the conclusion of it, that the true spirit of the Dresden 
Critic betrays itself. M. Ebert forgets the text of the touristy and 
not only launches his invectives against the honest And ardent spirit 
of book enterprise, by which he was actuated, but calls upon his coun- 
trymen to dose the doors of their public and private libraries against 
the intrusive curiosity of the English ! He then follows it up, by a 
sne«r of triumpb —^ defying ''any of the English Philologists, now 
living, to make use of an Editio Princeps with so much advantage 
and acumen as their Beck, Hermann, or Schneider !'* 

I shall leave Messrs. Elmsley, Gaisford, Blomfi^Id, and Mbnck, 
to meet this charge ; and to unhorse the infatuate man who makes 
it. My business more immediately concerns what follows. M. 
Ebert has the absurdity to continue thus : '' Or, let Us be told, what real 
advantage has accrued to learning from the SpsNCEa Librart, which 
has been extolled even to satiety — or the collections of other English 
BiBLioiULHBS } Not cvcu SO much as to enable the nation, otherwise 
so mercantile and speculative, to produce a Manuel du lAbraire of 
its own, of which, from their constant buying, they are hourly in 
need." ! The former part of this sentence is impertinent i the latter 
part, nugatory. A Manuel du Libraire does not depend upon national

the most eminent of those of foreign bibliographers. 

But mixed as may be my feelings, on a reflection of 
this nature, they are, in another point of view, gratify- 
ing and pure. I have done every thing in my power, to 
establish, on a firm foundation, the celebrity of a Li- 
brary, of which' the remembrance can only perish with 
every other record of individual fame. I will say 
nothing of the high and honourable character of its 
Noble Owner, either in his public or private capacity ; 
but I may be permitted to remark, that, it is even pos- 
sible for the names of Colbert and Harlby to be 
forgotten, as Ministers, while they will be for ever re- 
membered as Collectors of Manuscripts and Printed 
Books.

fupport^ but upon individual courage and diligence. Were it effected, 
would not want a n^id and prosperous sale. 

But the indirect imputation upon that LibrarTj of which a faithful 
account is now before the publicj is as ungenerous as it is false. The 
books of its Noble Owner, are open to the critical and amsiant inspec* 
tion of any scholar, who comes to his Lordship in that unquestionable 
shape, in which alone, he can, and ought, to be admitted within the 
precincts of so valuable a Repository : and the testimonies of those, 
who have enjoyed this privilege, are decisive proofs of the facility with 
which it may be acquired.

CASSANO LIBRARY 



1. iEsopi Vita et Fabul^e: per Rinucium. Lat. 
Printed by Zarotus at Milan. 1474. Quarto. 

This is the second edition of the Latin version of JEsop, and the 
JSni from the press of Zarotui; of which Saxius appears to haye been 
ignorant. The second edition of Zarotus is particuUirly described in 
the BUd. Spencer, vol. i. p. 89S-9> where will be found the same metri- 
cal colophon as appears in the present. I apprehend this to be a very 
rare book. This copy contains a gratuitous ornament of a water 
colour drawing of Asop, of a somewhat ancient aspect*— and not 
divested of duiracter-*which precedes the first page of the 14^. The 
impression is entirely destitute of numerals^ signatures, and catch- 
words. A fioll page contains 27 lines> and the entire impression 60 
leaves: of which the first 97 are devoted to the life of the author. 
Beneath the verses> above alluded to> is the colophon, thus : 

With the exception of a few soiled leaves, this is not only a large 
bat desirable copy. In red morocco binding. 

2. iEsopus. Lat. & ltd. Printed at Naples. 
1485. Folio. 

The editor was the celebrated Fbancibco del Tuppo. I have always 
considered this book to be the most elegant specimen extant of the 
early Nei^litaii press* It abouiids with wood-cuts ; which however 
are rather remarkable for the imposing consequence of th^ arabesque 
frame-work, in which they are inclosed, than for the truth, beauty, or 
spirit of the subjects within. The Duke di Cassano has given an ela- 
borate account of this rare and elegant book, by copying the whole of 



4 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

Tuppo*8 Introductory Address to Gaalano^ Count de Fundi. He tells 
us however^ in the prefix to this transcription^ that Tnppo, a Juris- 
consult> and Under-Secretary of State to Ferdinand King of Arragon> 
applied himself, as did many other learned men of that time, to the 
direction of the press— «nd especially of that of Keissinger. He then 
mentions this impression — distinguished not less for the general ele- 
gance and magnificence of its typographical execution, than for the 
quantity and singularity of the wood-cut embellishments, the elegance 
of the version, and the quantity of historical notices interwoven in 
the allegories.' The Duke passes no opinion respecting the pretaU 
book being the performance of Riessinger's press, which I do not 
imagine it to be 3 for, at this moment, I cannot recollect any book, 
printed by Riessinger, which exhibits so elegant an aspect. It remains 
to describe the copy under consideration. 

On the recto of the first leaf, begins the address of Tuppo, con- 
cluding on the reverse of the same leaf. A proheme, followed by a 
Latin life of ^sop, follows on the recto of the ensuing leaf. The bio- 
graphy, alternately Latin and Italian, interspersed with large coarse 
wood-cuts, occupies 41 leaves exclusively of the first leaf. On the 
recto of the 41st leaf is the Latin colophon, in two lines of capital 
letters. Then a blank leaf. Next commence the Fables-— accompa* 
nied by what are called Tropologia et AUegoria. The first page ex- 
hibits a large, handsome, arabesque border, with a jet black back* 
ground. The subjects of the fiibles are represented by wood-cuts, 
within a more slender frame-work, having, at top, upon a black 
ground, generally, the subject of Hercules and Antaeus— or Samson 
and the Lion. After the Moral or Allegory, comes sometimes an 
' historical confirmation,* and sometimes a confirmation by way of 
<»)ntemporaneous example^i. e., ' QmfirmaUo EMmplam.*'— consult 
the i^logues of the Wolf and the human buit, and the Pie and the 
Peacocks,* the latter of which, illustrated by the ' example* or anec- 
dote of Marino de Marzano, son of I. A. de Marzano, Duke de Seasa, 
is not a little amusing. On the reverse of the 138nd leaf of the 
Fables, the colophon is thus :

A table, or list of the fables, occupies the recto of the following and 
last leaf. In the whole, 166 leaves. This was the Crevenna copy, and 
was sold at the sale of that library for 396 francs. Its chief merit is 
its size } in colour, and in frequent and unaccountably capricious de* 
fiicing of the lines, it had but secondary pretensions to a fine book 
tiU restored and rebound in red morocco by C. Lewis. The Duke di 
Cassano concludes his account of this book by warm eulogies upon 
the credit it confers upon the early press at Naples. It has of late 
become very uncommon. 

3. iEsopi Fabuljb HiSTORiATiE. Lat. & Ital. 
Without Date or Place, ^. Quarto. 

The present is doubtless one of the numerous reprints of JRaop, 
with the Italian version of Zucchi, and b printed at Florence, or Venice, 
towards the end of the xvth century. For an account of the parent 
impression of Zucchi's version, consult the BibL Spencer, vol. i. p. 
238-237 ; and for specimens of the style of art, with which some of 
the wood-cuts in this edition are executed, the reader may not object 
to turn over the leaves of the Biblu^, Decameron, vol i. p. 190-4. 
The cuts, on the recto of sign. E. i, and on the reverse of F iil, wiU 
be found at page 193 of the work last quoted. Hie central compo- 
sition of the title-page is only similar to what is seen at p. 191. Here, 
this cut is surrounded by an arabesque border. The signatures, A to 
H, run in eights : H has 4 leaves, including a blank leaf. The 
impfessk>n ends at line 30 of H iii rev. : having, beneath, the word 
' Finis.' This is a fiib sound copy ; recently bound in red morocco. 

4. Albertus Magnus. De Arte bene Mobi- 
ENDi. Printed byA.de BruxeNa. 1476. Quarto. 

A neady printed tract, of 86 leaves, having 84 lines in a page. The 
colophon, in 3 leaves, is on the reverse of the last leaf. In calf 
binding. 



6 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

5. Albertus Magnus. De Vibtutibus Her- 
BARUM, Lapidum, &c. Printed by Antonio Gonr 
teri, Naples. 1493. Quarto. 

The editioDB of this work are innumerable $ and the present^ of 
trifling comparative valuej finds a place in this library simply as a 
specimen of the printer. This small book is printed in double co- 
lumns> in the black letter, upon signatures a, b, and c : but a viQ 
appears to be wanting : b has viij leaTes> but c has only three printed 
ones : having the colophon^ in 4 lines^ at bottom of c iij> reverse. In 
recent calf binding. 

6. Albertus Leo Baptista. De Re iEDiFiCA* 
TORiA. Printed by Nicoh Lorenzo. 1485. Folio. 

An interesting preftitory address to Lorenzo de Medici^ by Politian^ 
commences the volume on the reverse of the first leaf. On signature 
a i> recto^ the text begins. The signatures to z, &> o, and j^ are in 
eights : with the exception of e and p> — as the register^ on the re- 
verse of the last leaf, indicates. The author died before the publica- 
tion, and the work vras produced (and patronised by Lorenso de 
Medici), at the instigation of his brother Bernard. What is uncom- 
mon, in books of this period, there are catchwords on some of the 
reverses of the leaves. The present is a sound, fidr copy, in respect- 
able old calf binding. 

7. Alexandro Antonio (de) Lectura Codicis 
JusTiNiANi. Printed by Riessinger. 1474. 
Polio, 

The Duke di Cassano, as might have been expected, treasured this 
volume exceedingly, on account of the singularity of the subscription—^ 
and his Mend, the Fkidre Sterzinger, favoured him with some remarks 
thereupon— which confirmed the rarity and worth of the volume. 
The text itself, necessarily, from the nature of the subject, is at pre- 
sent of minor importance. The prefix, on the recto of the first leaf, 
is thus: 'Reportata Clarissimi Vtrivsqve Juris Interpretis Domini 
Antonii De Alexandro Svper. 11. C. In florenti Studio Plurtenopeo Sub

of Alexander the Great. Recently bound in yeUow calf. 

9. Altobello e Re Traiano, &c. Printed by 
P. Suardo, Milan. 1480. Folio. 

This edition is not to be found in the list of those mentioned by 
Ftozer in his fifth volume. It is among the rarer and more desir- 
able early metrical volumes Irelating to the history of Chivalry-^and 
therein^ as the colophon intimates^ to the heroes Charlemagne and 
Orlando^ &c. From Ftozer it should seem to be the second edition ; 
thai of 1476, printed at Venice^ being the first. On the recto of the 
first lea^ sign, a j, in red^ is the following title :

The stanzas are in eight versesi, and the text is printed in double co- 
lumns. I suspect that one leaf is wanting in signature a. The signa- 
tures, to f, run in eights : from f to p» in sixes : q and r> in eights : 
8, six : t, u, fours : x> y, z, sixes : % four. On the reverse of 1 iij, is

the following and last leaf. 

This book is so scarce, that Brunet mentions it briefly only-*on a

present copy is, upon the whole, rather sound than fine. In recent 
red morocco binding.

10. Ambrosii Liber Pastoralis. Printed by 
Scinzenzeler, Milan. 1492. Small Folio. 

The present is an elegant^ and rather uncommon volume — ^being a 
specimen of Scinzenzeler s press, upon vellum. It is printed in a 
neat gothic letter, in double columns, upon signatures, a to o, in 
eights : with o and p in sixes, and q having only 4 leaves*— q i being 
omitted to be marked : a palpable mistake, as the context proves. 
The colophon, in 5 lines, is at the bottom of the first column, on the 
reverse of y iv— purporting the book to have been printed on the 16th 
of June 1499. The device of Udal. Scinzenzeler is below. The 
following are the comforting lines with which the impression ter- 
minates.

12. AxDRfiiE Antonii Qu^stiones in Aristo- 
TELis Metaputsica. Printed by Bertholdus 
Miking, at Naples. 1475. Folio. 

•It is for the first time that I here see a specimen of the printing of 
Rihing^ who appears to hare been a native of Strasbourg. The compila- 
tor was of the order of the minorites ' de provintia Arrogonie.' The 
impression in question is printed in two columns^ without signatures^ 
catchwords or numerals^ and contains 132 leaves, having 46 lines in 
a fiill page. The colophon is on the reverse of the 131st leaf> in 11 
lines, purporting the book to have been executed on the 7th of No- 
vember 1475. The register occupies the last leaf. This book is so 
rare as to have escaped Giustiniani and Eanzer. The present is an 
indifferent copy, in calf binding. 

13. Andrew Yserniensib — super Const. & 
Cap. Regni Neap. Printed at Naples. 1479. 
Folio. 

The colophon informs us that thb work was executed ^ at the ex- 
pense and care of Bemardinus D. Gerardinis de Arurelia.* The colo- 
phon is in 15 lines. There is no doubt of the printer being Reissinger. 
The present book contains 98 leaves, and 60 lines in a fiill column. 
An indifferent copy, in calf binding. 

14. Antoniki Summula Confessionis. Printed 
by BarthoUmkBUS Cremonensis, Venice. 1473. 
Quarto. 

I take this to be a reprint of Laver's edition of a similar work, no- 
ticed in a subsequent page. It requires a very brief description. It is 
printed in a small, thin, roman type, in double columns, without nu- 
merals, signatures, or catchwords. According to the ms. numerals of 
this copy, the text contains 124 leaves. A table, of 8 pages, closes 
the volume. The colophon, in metre, is on the recto of the last leaf, 
as given in the same printer's edition of Virgil : see Bibl. Spene. vol. 
ii. p. 469-470. Beneath is the date of 1473, noticing Nicolao Truno 
to be the Doge of Venice at the time. In calf binding.

Library at Faris. It may hence be considered as a rare book. The 
printer, whom the Duke di Cassano considers to be an associate ivtth

the first leaf is the title of the work> in red, thus :

On the reverse, is Tuppo's address to Alexander, Count de Matalone. 
The first words of the text, on the recto of the ensuing leaf^ are as

succeeded by the Italian : of which the entire work, with the excep- 
tion of the titles in the Latin tongue, is composed. There are neither 
numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. The type is a handsome, large 
round, roman letter. A table commences, after the creed, in

LAVS DEO 

This colophon is peculiar. It should seem that Adam de Polonia had 
no fount of character of his own — but that he borrowed the types of 
the ' noble gentleman Nicolas Jacobus de Luciferis* — and that the 
book was printed at the joint expense of these two. The copy is 
but an indifferent one. It has been recently cleaned^ and bound in 
red morocco. 

17. L'Aquila. Printed by A.de Canthano, Na- 
ples. 1492. Folio. 

The Duke di Cassano supposes both the work and this edition of it 
to be of extreme rarity. Fossij however, in his Bihl. Magi. vol. i. col. 
426, has a very particular account of it. He says the work was called 
' the Eagle/ out of compliment to the descendants of the fimuly of 
Julius Cssar. On examining it> I find large quotations from Dante ; 
and in the first chapter, sign, a Hi, the authority of the Thesaurus of 
Brunetto Latino is quoted — respecting the royal bird—' LaquUa e lo 
piu ualente Vccello del Mondo. £t uola si alto che ogni homo ne 
perde la uista.' Both Manni and Mazuchelli seem to think that this 
work was first published by Alexander Faganinus, a printer, under the 
forged name of Aretin — ^but, if so, adds Fossi, the present would 
be a posterior edition -— since it does not contain the name of that 
printer, and the name of Aretin is formally introduced -« and yet I 
do not remember to have seen any notice of a more ancient edition 
than the present.' However this may be, adds the same bibliographer, 
the work id pronounced by Mazzuchelli to be unworthy of Aretin, and 
his name, in all probability, is falsely attached to it. It is an Italian 
version, by the author himself, of the Latin original.

On the reverse of the first leaf is a wood-cut of an £agle> with an

This^ as Audifiredi intimates^ was probably among the last of the

both of whom> according to the same authority, were probably taken 
off, after the month of March, by a severe plague^ which then raged 
at Rome. The work is executed in the smaU and unseemly roman

19. Aretino, L. La Prima Guerra Punica. 
Without Name of Printer, Place, or JOate. 
Quarto. 

The Duke di Cassano designates this as ' a very rare edition^ un- 
known to all the bibliographers 3* but Panzer^ vol. iv. p. 86^ refers to 
Denis> Rossis and the Pinelli catalogue— find Denis describes it from 
a copy under his own inspection in the Imperial Library at Vienna. 
It is printed in the same type as the dateless Horace and Lucan> of 
which the former is considered to be the first impression of the poet. 
This edition is entirely destitute of numerals^ signatures^ and catch- 
words; a full page occupying 27 lines. The first chapter contains 
the prologue. The second chapter begins as follows : ' De la cagione 
laquale commosse> Roman! e Carthaginesi ad aspra e lunga guehra,' 
&c. In the whole 86 leaves 5 concluding thus :

The translator is Mathias Balmerius. The Duke di Cassano had 
supposed^ but inaccurately> (as Lord Spencer has justly observed) 
that this was the first edition of the version of Aristeas ; but that 
version was printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in their Latin Bible 
of 1471. In the whole> there are 37 leaves^ having 28 lines in a full

2L Aristoteles. De Akimalibus. Lat. Printed 
at Venice by I. de Colania ^ I. Manthen de 
Gherretzen. 1476. Folio. 

The translator is Theodoras (Gaza) Thessalonicensis. This is one 
of the most beautiful yolumes, from the press of the above printers, 
with which I am acquainted. It is executed in the larger and rounder 
roman type used by the artists in question } and contains signatures a 
to X in tens : a i, being blank. Afterward, aa to ee, in tens : ee, 
eight : and f f, five : a blank leaf forming the sixth. The colophon, 
on the reverse of f f iv, tells us that * Ludouicus podocathrus Cypri- 
anus ex Archetypo ipsius Theodori fideliter & diligenter auscultauit' — 
and caused the work to be printed at Venice, &c. On the recto of 
the following and last leaf, is a register, entitled 'Tabula cartarum 
secundum ordinem ponendarum.' The present is a sound copy, in 
foreign calf binding. 

22. Aristotelis Oeconomicorum Libri IL Lat. 
Without Name qf Printer, Place, or Date. Folio. 

This edition appears to have escaped Fbnzer; as it does not coin- 
cide with either of the dateless impressions, to which he refers in the 
4th volume of his Typographical Annals. The Duke di Cassano was 
not acquainted with the character in which it is printed, and imagined 
the book to have been executed about the year 1480. The type is a 
laige gothic j and the lines, which are long, are widely spaced : giv- 
ing the page a very elegant appearance. On the recto of a. t., without 
a title, or prefix, tiie text begins thus :— the version being in all pro- 
bability that of Aretin.

23. Atila. Flagellum Dei per Vulgare.

The above title^ in capital letters^ is beneath a wood-cut of our 
Saviour receiving the betraying kiss of Judas Iscariot^ in the midst of 
a crowd. A table precedes the commencement of the text on a iii— 
which has this title : Incomincia U Libro dt AtUa : el quale Ju ingenerato 
da uno cane, &c. The signatures run to d vj^ in sixes. On the reverse 
of d vj^ is the subscription^ in 13 lines^t which is very circumstantial. 
No name of printer is incorporated. Recently bound in russia. 

24, AviENUS (RuFUs Festus). Printed by A.de 
Strata Cremonensis, Venice. 1488. Quarto. 

This is a metrical version of Abatus, in Latin hexameters^by Avienus ; 
with ' M. Tullii Ciceronis Fragmentum Arati Fhsnomenon^' in Latin 
hexameters at the end. The usual wood-cuts (of which specimens 
are given in the third volume^ p. 388^ of the B, S,), commence on sig- 
nature h. The work of Rufus Festus Avienus terminates on the recto 
of g vij, followed by a blank leaf. Then ensues * Fragmentum arati 
phsnomenon per germanicum latin^ conuersi cum comento nuper 
in sidlia repertum/ on the recto of h. The colophon is on the recto of 
p yj. The signatures are in eights, with the exception of a, which has 
ten leaves. An address of Victor Pisanus to Fteplus Pisanus^ occupies 
the reverse of p v}. This is a sound copy, bound in yellow calf. 

• Sic 

t This is in Csct no colophon, and the book is without a date. The date of 1491 
applies to the situation of Venice at the time, bnt it does not (except by inference) 
assert any thing about the printing of the book. The concluding, paragraph is some- 
what curious, and exhibits a rery unusual mode of intimating the time of publication.

printed in a very neat gothic type $ but it is soiled^ written upon, and 
somewhat cropt. In foreign calf binding. 

26. AuLus Gellius. Printed by Sweynheym and 
Pannartz. 1472. Folio. 

The second Roman impression, and apparently a reprint of the first

executed by the printers. According to Panzer, it has 191 leaves. 
A full page has 38 lines. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor 
catchwords. Previously to the 15 concluding leaves of heads of chap- 
ters, the colophon occurs on the recto of the preceding leaf, thus :

vus.* It is a beautifully printed book, in the black letter, in double 
columns ; and the present copy of it, with the exception of a large 

* This book wii printed at Oeaoa, before Mofrtub removed to Naples, which he 
was obliged to do in eonseciaettee of a remonstrance of the ms. copyists of the former 
dty to the Goremment, complaining that the ezerdse of the art of printing would 
take their occupation from them. See Panzer, toI. i. p. 441, no. 1 : and Lair^9 Imr 
dts, ToL L p. 325, where the anecdote is related at length. It appears that Panzer 
only knew of three books printed in the xvth century at Genoa, two mentioned ss 
above, rol. i. p. 441, and another described by Urn In his Supplement, toI. It. p. 330. 
HiIs pancity of articles printed in that city seems to confirm the truth of the anec- 
dote. But for a more particular account, Mauro Boni may be consulted, as quoted 
by Panzer at the above mentioned page.

28. Bangese, Iacobo. Lo Septenario. Printed 
\by Adam de Rotvil] at Aquila. 1482. Quarto. 

I consider this to be one of the very rarest poetical pieces in the 
collection of the Duke di Cassano. The Duke himself dismisses it 
with a very brief notice, but 8uspect8> with great justice, the types to 
be those of Adam de Rotvil. On a comparison with the Italian ver- 
sion of Plutarch's Lives, printed by the same printer (vide post), 
these types appear to be precisely similar. They are round and ele- 
gant. The present piece is destitute of numerals, signatures, and 
catchwords ; containing, in the whole, 7 leaves. A fuU page has 33 
lines. On the recto of the first leaf, without any prefix, it com- 
mences thus : 

£1 ben seruire in ciel se ricompenza 
Non dalla quatita : ma dallo affecto 
Et dallo amore che lopra dispenza .

On the reverse is a metrical Italian version of the Magni/ieai. This 
piece is so scarce, that Panzer only mentions it upon the authority of 
a letter from Morelli : see his Typog. Annal. vol. i. p. 16, no. * 8. 
The present is a clean and desirable copy^ elegantly bound in 
Venetian morocco by C. Lewis. 

29. Barberiis, p. de. Opuscula. Printed at 
Rome. 1481. Quarto. 

In the Bibl. Spenceriana, vol. iii. p. ITS, I have described an edition of 
this work as the production of the press of P. de Lignamine j but, on 
reconsideration, I am inclined to attribute the editorship, rather than 
the typographical execution, of these volumes, to the same character 
— ^who was doubtless among the most learned of his profession. The 
copy, under consideration, in which the introductory address of I. P. 
de Lignamine is wanting, was procured by me of Professor May, of 
Augsbourg ; and contains a singular variety, both in the number and 
execution of the wood-cuts of the Sibyls. In short, there are sixteen 
wood-cuts less than in the impression before mentioned, and of those, 
common to either, the figures in the volume under description are 
wholly different. They are here coloured ; but doubtless of the time. 
There does not appear to be any difference in the text, except in a few 
contractions and terminations. The imprint and the register are pre- 
cisely the same. The present may be called a very desirable copy ; 
recently bound in pale russia.

30. Bartholus De Saxoferrato Super Codics 
[Justmiano]. Printed by Riesnnger, at Naples- 
1471. Folio, 2 vols. 

In a bibliograpliical point of view, these are important Tolumes ; as 
they seem to fix, with great precision, the date when Riessinger first 
used his second-sized roman type : and we may from hence infer, that 
all those works, which are printed in the smaller type, resembling 
that of Ulric Han, were of a date not later than 1470. This in con- 
sequence gives additional value to the pieces of Riessinger which 
are printed in such smallest type. The present type, impartially speak- 
ing, is neither beautiful in form nor agreeable to the eye ; bemg appa- 
rently modelled upon the second size roman type of Ulric Han— -who, 
in all probability, was Riessinger's master. These volumes are with* 
out numerals, signatures, or catchwords. On the recto of the last 
leaf of the second volume, it is as follows : 

Explicit Lectura super Codice Edita p

famosissimum legum Doctorem • Anno

A table occupies the first four leaves. Then the address of Tuppo, 
on the reverse of the following leaf, to Ferdinand of Arragon. This 
address is interesting, as containing a brief, but warmly written, sum- 
mary of the political achievements of Ferdinand. It concludes thus :

' O deum atq; houn cura Vale & triumpha.' — ^A prefatory epistle of 
BartholomflBua de Ursinis, of the date of 1473, immediately foUoiwa. 
On the recto of the ensuing, begins the ' Sermon upon Septaagesiiiia 
Sunday.' The book is printed throughout in a type which was un- 
questionably used by Riessinger; being his second Roman letter. 
There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. A full page 
has 40 lines. In the whole, according to the Duke di Cassano, 326 
leaves : the renter occupying the first leaf. This copy cannot be 
exceeded in size and general condition ; it being one of the few spe- 
cimens of a fine genuine book in the Cassano collection. It has been 
recently bound in red morocco. 

32. Blasius Pico Fokticulanus. De Quat. 
Pabt. Orat. Printed at Aquila. 1494. 
Quarto. 

It should seem that the copy of this tract examined by Audiffiredi, 
Edit. Ital. p. 8, had been imperfect > for that bibliographer does not 
notice some verses of Angelus Fonticulanus, which are on the reverse 
of the first leaf— in praise of the work. The * prologue* of the author, 
Pico Fonticulanus de Aquila — addressed to Alfonso Ficolomini, of 
Arragon, Duke of Amalphi—coomiences on the recto of the ensuing 
leaf, aij. The signatures, to f, run in eights: f and g have each six 
leaves, including a blank leaf for g. On the recto of g v, is the 
colophon, in 11 lines, of which the three last are as follow :

Audiffredi has thrown out a conjecture, that this book may have 
been printed by Adcan de BolmZ— inclining however to the opinion 
that it is not. It is quite certain that the types of this book are 
smaller Ihan those used by that printer in the Quwtkma Mercmialei,

33. Blondi Roma Ixstaurata. Without Name 
of Printer, Place, or Date. Folio. 

Fi&nzer> vol. iv. p. 413> no. 156> is exclusively indebted to Fossi, 
vol. i. col. 368-378, for his account of this rare book 5 of virhich the 
present copy is unfortunately very defective — ^wanting not fewer than 
ten leaves at the end of the third book ; which deficiency compre- 
hends the epistle of F. Barbarus to the author, following the same 
book. Fossi wrote a dissertation upon this impression, in the Ephem, 
Litt. Florent. in kal. Novemb. 17S9 ; because, up to that period, it 
seemed to have been wholly unknown to bibliographers — ^and in the 
Bibl. MagUabech, (here first referred to), he translated the communi- 
cation in the Italian Literary Journal into the Latin language. His 
description of the copy, under his own inspection^ is, as usual, copious 
and correct. ' Litters (says he, speaking of the type in which it is 
executed,) quamvis, ut dictum est, elegantes adpareant antiquam 
inaequialitatem quodammodo prse se ferunt.' He then notices the 
uniform absence of the dolf over the t, and the commas being Unes, at 
right angles vnth the text. The e is peculiar, being somewhat of a 
gothic form. 

The first leaf appears to be blank. An index to the first book of 
the work occupies the second leaf. On the recto of the third, the 
text begins. A full page has 36 lines. The index to the second book 
occupies two leaves : to the third book, two pages and a half. T^e 
third book is defective ; ending on the reverse of the 52nd leaf of the 
impression. It should have been followed by the subscription Blondi 
Fleam Forlimenm Rome Instaurate Liber . Ill . Et UUimus feliciter CUl" 
vititus — and an Epistle of F. Barbarus to the author. This copy then 
continues correctly — ^with two epigrams prefixed to an Epistle of 
Blondus Flavins to Aretin ' de Romana locutione :* occupying in the 
whole 4 leaves. At the end of the last of these leaves, we read 
: VALE : The present is, in other respects, a large and sound copy : 
in half binding.

34. Boccaccio. Opera Jucundissima. Without 
Name qf Printer , ^c. Quarto. 

* Opera lycvndissima Novamente Retrovata del Facundissimo et 
Elegantissimo Poeta meser loanne Bocchacio.'— -Sucli is the title pre- 
fixed to this rare little piece ; which seems to contain a brief selec- 
tion from the Decameron of Boccaccio. It appears to have been 
printed at Florence ^ and the type» at first sights is not unlike that of 
Plato de Benedictis. Beneath the title> the text begins thus : — ' uno 
giorno ritrouandome piu che lusato da grauissin^e e inniunerabili pene 
assalito.* This, on sign. A ii. The signatures^ to H, run in sixes : 
but A iiij or A iiijj appears to be wanting in this copy. On the recto 
of H y}, the text ends thus :

35. Boccaccio. Il Philocolo. Printed by Ri- 
essinger, at Naples. 1478. Folio. 

I apprehend the present to be among the rarer editions of the Phi- 
locolo> as well as of the productions of the press of Riessinger. It is 
among the very few publications of Riessinger*s press which contain 
wood-cuts ; but which^ candour obliges us to confess, are almost as 
barbarous as those of our first printer, Caxton. Above a wood-cut of 
the author sitting at a desk, and a queen sitting on a bench to the left 
of him, is the title, thus : in four lines. ' Incomencia U Ubro primo di 
ftorio 8( di Uanzefiore chiamato philocolo che tanto e adire quanto amorota 
faiicha. Copostoper il clarissimo poeta Messer lohanne Boccado da certaldo 
ad instanda di la Ukutre 8r generosa madonna Maria Jigluola naturale deUn^ 
cUto Re Roberto* I presume the female crowned figure, sitting, to be 
the lady just mentioned in the title. The heads of chapters are uni- 
formly printed in gothic letter. The text is in roman j in the second 
size type of the printer. A full page has 40 lines. There are neither 
numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. On the reverse of the 236th 
leaf, where the Italian biography (by Hieronimo Squarzafacio) ends, 
is the following elaborated colophon — beneath four Latin verses, 
being the epitaph of Boccaccio.

of the printer to whom it belongs. Here, the word Siztvs is put 
on one side — and Riessinobb on the other side, of the figure referred 
to. A register occupies the recto of the following and last leaf. A 
sound but short copy. The cuts unluckily are coloured. Recently

87. Brstiarium Romakuh. Printed by Nicolaiu 
Girardengus {at Venice). 1490. Octavo. 

Una is one of the most beautiful octavo volumes in his Lordship's 
collection. It is a copy ufon vbllum ; exhibiting such a specimen of 
^ppogmphy as cannot be surpassed. The vellum is also of a soft quality 
and white tint^ and the various illuminations are as genuine as they 
are elegant. Unfortunately, the whole of the signature e e (8 leaves) 
is executed with the pen— but in a manner to have escaped the detec- 
tion of the last noble owner of the book — who dismisses it with the 
brief and pithy description of being ' a very fine copy upon vellum.' 
It seemsj from Panzer's list, vol. v. p« 114, that, among the number- 
less impressions of this celebrated work, there was a previous edition, 
by the same printer, of the date of 1482, in folio ; but no notice is 
there taken of the present impression. The first leaf is blank. A ca- 
lendar of 6 leaves follows. Then another blank leaf . The text of the 
work commences on the recto of the ensuing leaf, on signature a a, 
here illuminated, with a portrait of our Saviour at bottom. The sig- 
natures (generally having only the third leaf marked) run regukrly 
^9y> %% ^^» in eights } with the exception of the last, which has 
ten leaves. 

Then a fresh portion of the work, on signatures A to H, in eights : 
the first leaf here beautifully illuminated, with a figure of our Saviour, 
naked to the middle, in the water«-the blood fiowing from his side. 
A third portion begins on A to U, in eights : a blank leaf forming the 
last of U. The first leaf (A i) is here illuminated with a head of a 
bishop, radiated, having a crosier over his left shoulder. The fourth 
and last portion, beginning with an illumination of the Agnus Dei, 
extends from a to /, in eights : / having twelve leaves, including a 
blank one. On the reverse of/xj, is the colophon, printed in red, in 
eleven lineSf thus : Explicit breuiariu correctu et optime emendatuj per

work is Matthseus Bossus. The title is on the recto of the first leaf, 
sign. t. A preliminary address and table occupy the first six leaves, 
on* the same signature. Then a leaf, with a pithy Epistle of P. Bero- 
aldus to the reader. On the foUowing leaf, a ii, is an Epistle of the 
author to Cardinal John Medici — in which the respective talents of 
Politian, I. Mirandula, and Ficinus, are appreciated — which is dated 
' Ex Abbatia Fesulana,' 1482. Then the text, on a iii, preceded by a 
title, in four lines, of capital letters. The first set of signatures, to h, 
run in eights ; followed by h with six, and i with four leaves. Then a

I am fiiUy of opinion with Morelli (Bibl, PmeU, vol. iv. p. 316,) that 
this b the first edition of the Sonnets of Burchiello, and that its 
date may be as early as 1472. Morelli compares the types with those 
of an edition of the Epistles and Grospels by the same printer (also in 
this Library) of 1472, and hence draws his conclusion. But in this 
copy, the types have even a sharper and newer look than in the book 
last mentioned. At any rate, it cannot be doubted that the present is 
the parent text of all the subsequent ones of the poet. There are 
no numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. On the recto of the first 
leaf, the first sonnet begins under five lines of capital letter. This 
first page has 17 lines of text : the fuller pages have 23 lines. On 
the reverse of the first leaf there is a running title, thus. .' S5ti : De . 
B.*— whicb is not continued. In the whole, 92 leaves. On the re- 
verse of tbe 92d is a sonnet— commencing ' Rigido Bertramino &co- 
gnoscente'-"Which, says Morelli, is not to be found in the edition of 
1757* The colophon below this sonnet, is thus : 

M. xpof. Ar. prutenus • Finit . B. 

which I take to mean, ' Mathias, Christophorus, Amoldus Prutenus . 
Finit Burchiello.' It is extraordinary that the Pinelli copy does not

but sound. Recently bound in red morocco.

On the reverse, ' Epiti^hium Ronue in lapide' — ^in hexameter and 
pentameter verses. The device of the printer, as noticed in the ac- 
count of his edition of Claudian, of the date of 1493, in the BibL

perhaps this is one of the most curiona und uncomiiion books in 
the Cassano Collbctiok ; and gains in intrinsic value what it loses 
in external beauty : for a more barbarously printed volume has seldom 
i^ipeared in the zyth century. The type is gothic— executed in long 
liaes^-Huid seema to be formed upon the worst models of Ketelaer and 
Fyner. The book is so scarce as to have escaped the researches of 
Fanzer ; who, in his account of it, refers to Maittaire — and who, in 
tiiri|> depends exclusively upon Mongitor'sBi6/.iSict^a. The ornamented 
capital initials, in wood, are sufficiently barbarous. The first leaf is 
blank. The address, of the author of this Collection of Laws, I. P.

The lost noble owner of this volume has thought it worth while t6 
transcribe the introductory epistle to 'Beatrice^ Queen of Arragon« 
Hungary^ and Bohemia' — which is not uninteresting, and indicates 
the impresssion to have been executed by the joint labours of I. M. 
Cynicus, Moravus, and P. Molinus. Moravus is called (with justice) 
< an elegant and erudite printer*-— and the impression should seem to 
consist of 2000 copies— as thus : ' Becreui cum prsestanti tuo Moravo 

immo hostro & Petro : hoc toti orbi in tui laudem communem ftcere. 

• 

et bis mille uoluminibus impressis.* It concludes thus : * Vale . Cy- 
nici tui : & Moraui : necnon & Petri memor.' This pre&ce is in a 
large roman letter : the whole of the work, howeyer, is printed in 
double columns, in a small, close, gothic ; of a sufficiently broad form, 
Imd more legible than the type of the Bible, by the same printer, of 
the date of 1476. The present is indeed not imlike that of F. de Gn- 
qumis, in the impression of ^tf^. de Ancona de Ecclesiastica PoteiUUe,

one (fbl. 74) defective leaf 5 but that in the Imperial Library at Vi-

of St. Catharine of Siena ; and, as it appears to have been wholly un- 
known to Fianzer, is probably as rare as the first. The Duke di Cas-r 
sano states it to be wholly unknown to bibliographers. On compar- 
ing the text with that of the previous edition, it will be found to be 
lar from a reprint. This impression is executed in double columns, 
in a round and not inelegant roman type, and has 41 lines in a full 
column. There are neither numerals, signatures nor catchwords.

by BertMrdus de Dacia. 1478. Folio. 

Printed in a close> yet neat roman letter, in double columns : with- 
numerals, signatures, or catchwords. In the whole, 117 leaves. A 
full column has 41 lines. On the recto of the last leaf, is the oolo- 
phon, in four lines, as follows : ' Plnw Amo M*. CCCC LXXFIW.

recently bound in brown calf. 

This book is described by P^inzer, who mentions no other book by 
this printer; and adds, 'de Typographo hoc ubique altum est sQen- 
tium :* See vol. iv. p. 18, no. 115. It should seem that the copy he 
saw wanted the first leaf. 

49. Catho Moralizatus. Lat & Ital. Without 
Name qf Printer, Place, or Date. Quarto. 

As fiur as I can discover, Pkinzer appears to have been ignorant of 
this version of Cato in the Italian language. That bibliographer no- 
tices a I>utch, French, and German edition-^but none in the Italian 
tongue. The Duke di Cassano considers this version as utterly un* 
known to bibliographers ; and supposes the printer may have been 
Schurener de Bopardia; in which supposition I- find him confirmed— 
by a comparison of the types with those of JEnett SyUm E§niiokt of 
1475, professedly printed by that artist, and of which a fine copy is 
preserved in his Lordship's library, from the public library at Augs- 
bourg. Tliis rare little book commences thus :

There are 12 lines below. A fiill page has 94 lines. In the whole^ 
86 leaves ^without signatures^ numerals^ or catchwords. On the 
reverse of the 26th leaf^ there are 14 lines : beneath whichj we read 

Finit fceliciter.

The subject relates to Comets^ and is preceded by a dedicatory 
epistle to Don John of Arragon. The first chapter begins on the re- 
verse of the third leaf. In the whole^ SO leaves— without numerals^ 
signatures, or catchwords. The date of the composition (as I gather) 
is 1472* The colophon follows below, in three lines of capital letters. 
A full page has 26 Hnes. The Duke di Cassano rightly attributes this 
edition to the press of Riessmger. It is executed in his second, or 
larger roman type. The present copy is large, but much stained. In 
calf binding* 

51. Cato Moralissimus. Per Robertum de 
EuREMODio. Printed by Moravus. 1488.

This is doubtless one of the most elegant little volumes from the 
press of Moravus } and is the only one, to my recoUection, which ex- 
hibits the union of his smallest gothic, with hb largest roman, type.

S4 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

The Duke di Cassano is quite enthusiastic in his commendations of its 
beauty and rarity ; observing that it is unknown to bibliographers. 
The only authority referred to by P^oizer^ vol. ii. p. 161^ no. 5dj is 
Denisj p. 243^ no. 1938 — ^where it is described in the usually com- 
pressed manner of that bibliographer. The popularity of the work> to- 
gether with the commodiousnes of the form> and beauty of the impres- 
Bion, may account for the rarity of the present volume. The text of 
the author is in roman> and that of the commentator in gothic. The 
latter styles himself ' monachus Garevallis^* and dedicates his labours 
to Petnis de Saluciis> 'a youth of an excellent and generous disposition.* 
The signatures^ ato e^ run in eights ; a i being blank. On the recto 
of e viij^ is the fbllowing colophon, deserving of transcription. ' Hie 
Jmem aspice Catonis viri moraUssim : et in via morum seme grauisdm .

volume. Recently bound in green morocco. 

52. Catullus. Cum Commektario Lacisii. 
Printed by B. de Boninis, Brescia. 1485. Folio. 

First impression of the Conunentary of Lacisius. The signatures, 
a to i> are in sixes ; i having eight leaves. What is uncommon^ the 
designation of the signatures is in the Italian language 5 while the 
colophon, as well as the entire book> is in Latin. On the recto of 
a vij is this colophon : ' BrixicB Impressum per Boninum de Boninis de 
Ragtisia . M . CCCC . Lxxxv . vid . Idus Jpriles.* On the reverse, is an 
address of Antonius Parthenius to the reader. A blank leaf, aviij, 
concludes the volume. This is a large, good copy, with the exception 
of c i, and c yj, which are very much stained.

54, Chrysostomus. Opuscula qu^bam. With- 
out Name qf Printer, ^c. Quarto. 

A table of the contents is on the reverse of the first leaf. The text 
begins with the above prefix, on the recto of the following. The 
text is in a clumsy, and closely printed roman type — ^which, at first 
glance, resembles somewhat those volumes of which the printer is 
known by the peculiar construction of the capital R : but in the vo- 
lume under description, no such peculiarity occurs. What, to me, is 
very uncommon, the printer has introduced larger lower case roman 
characters, in the body of the page, than the generality of the text is 
executed with. The Duke di Cassano is right in differing from Audif- 
fredi respecting the appropriation of the type to the press of Ulric 
Han. A full page has 28 lines. There are neither numerals, signa- 
tures, nor catchwords. In the whole, 48 leaves — including a register 
on the 48th. A very indifferent copy, in foreign calf binding. 

55. CiCEROKis Epistol^ Fam. Qvmd. Select. 
{Printed by Riesmiger.) Without Date, ^c. 
Quarto. 

lliere can be no question that Riessinger printed this little volume, 
which appears to have escaped the researches of Panzer. It is exe- 
cuted precisely in the type with whidi the Phaiaris (vide post) is 
printed, and to which latter his name is expressly subjoined. The 
type is the second romaii, and sufficiently barbarous : which makes 
me infer that Moraous had not, at this time^ put forth any specimen 
from his own press— otherwise, it is barely possible to suppose that 
Riessinger would have chosen such an indifferent character. An 
epistle of Petrus Bartoladus to Alvanis de Cosraa precedes the text. 
This is dated ' Naples, 1471/ from which the Duke di Cassano thinks 
the book was printed in the same year ; an inference, by no means 
unquestionable. I suspect Riessinger to have been a careless printer. 
His contractions are doubtful : and we have * ex quedta* for * ex- 
qnisita,' at the end of the epistolary address-— and the words * Marcus' 
and Marchns, as applied to Cicero, immediately following each other.

in the prefix to the text. There are neither numerals^ signatures^ nor 
catchwords ; and a fiill page contains 26 lines. On the recto of the 
52d and List leaf j is the following colophon : 

Marci . T. C. femiliares Epistolp 
feliciter Expliciunt. 

Upon the whole^ a desir^le copy^ in foreign calf binding. 

66. Cicero de Officiis* Printed byV.de Spira. 
1472. Quarto. 

This is in all probability a reimpression of the previous edition^ with 
the same accompanying opu8Cula> which appeared in 1470> and of 
which a particular account will be found in the Bthl, Spencer, vol. i. 
p. 312. The text commences with the Offices^ which end with the 
verses be^nning ' Tullius hesperios^* &c. on the reverse of the 77th 
leaf. The Paradoxes follow 3 occupying the 10 ensuing leaves. Next> 
the tract De Amidtia, concluding on the recto of the 107th leaf. The 
' Cato Major,' vel de Senectute,' follows on the recto of the ensuing 
leaf J concluding with the Sommum Sdpionit on the recto of the 131st 
leaf: where is the following colophon : 

Anno Christi . M . CGCCLxxii . Die uero iiii. 
mensis lulii Venetiis. 

E Spira nato Ciceronis opuscula qainque 
Hpc Vindelino formis impressa fiiere 

Rather an indifferent copy^ in foreign calf binding. 

67. Cicero de Officii s : &c. Printed at Non 
pies. 1479. Folio. 

At first sights the Duke di Cassano thought the types, with which 
this impression is executed, were those used by Moraous ; but on com- 
parison, he changed that opinion. Ue afterwards thought the book 
was printed by Conrad Guldenmund of Nuremberg j but again 
changed his opinion } and on a yet more careful comparison, was set- 
tled in the belief that the impression was executed by Pranciscus de 
Dinp, a Florentine ; from a performance of the latter, executed at 
Naples in 1480, and another at Florence, in 1481. He caUs the

edition under description^ ' very beautiful and rare'—- but it is certainly 
ii6t the former. It is however the only book noticed by Panzer in 
the year 1479> at Naples -, and he refers to Denis^ p. lOS^ where it 
is very unsatisfactorily described. 

The Life^ &c. of Cicero, occupies the first 3 leaves. The Offices, 
59 leaves. The Paradoxes, 7 leaves : the De Amicitia beginning on 
the reverse of the seventh. This latter treatise contains 29 leaves- 
followed by the Somnium Scipionis, on 4 leaves : on the reverse of 
tiie 4th of which begin the sayings of the twelve wise men. These 
fill one more leaf) on the reverse of which is the following colophon : 
' Prineipu latine eloquence . M. T .C . liber quvnque operum IntUulatus. 
JmUfaUdUr . In^eisus NeapoU tub pac^ko Ferdinando SiciUe RegeAnno 
tdlulM . M . cccc . IsxfDwi . SedHe Sixto quarto pont^ke maxmo* This 
copy is very desirably bound in light calf, with arms on the sides, 
beneath which is the following inscription : ' Dom Martku Paceceo 
Carqfa N<mu$ Dux Matalom* The copy however has been cropt in 
the binding, and is much stained.* 

58. Cicero. Rhetorica Nova. Printed at Na- 
ples, by Moratms. Without Date. Folio. 

■^ * 

It is a pity that the condition of this book is not equal to its dimen- 
sions. The latter are genuine — the former is most deplorable, in 
every respect: and nothing, one would imagine^ but the extreme 
rarity of the impression could have induced its late noble owner to 
give it a place upon the shelves of his library. It is printed upon, 
signatures-^a to A— in eights : h having only six leaves. On the 
reverse of h xj, is the colophon, thus : 

• M . T . Ciceronis rethorica noua Na 
poll impressa . Per mgrm Mathiam Mo 
ravum uinim singalari ingenio ac arte 
preditum . Flnit foBlieiter. 

* Hub may certainlj be deemed a nre edition, as Paaser (toI. iL p. 160, no. 39,) 
only refen to one anihority for its eziatence, of which he eren ilimhts, and ftom the 
ringnlar mode in which the works of Cicero, contained in it, are described in the 
colophon, I should conjecture that it was printed from a MS..and not copied from 
another edition, as I do not remember to hare seen these worlu so designated ia

62. CoNSUETUDiNES Neapolitanje. {Printed

The' printer is doubtless Sixtus Kiessinger ; as the Duke di Cassano 
intimates. The editor was lYaiicesco Tnppo, and the work appears 
to have been executed by N. F. Cicinus— to whom Tuppo, at the end 
of the volume, addresses a sort of dedicatory letter — giving some ac- 
count of his fSunily, which is by no means uninteresting. The laws 
and customs of the city of Naples, here collected together, are said, 
on the reverse of the first leaf, to be gathered * ex consuetudinibus 
antiquis non in formam scripturs redactis.' The printing Exhibits a 
specimen of Hiessinger's roman type, mixed with his largest ^hic. 
The work is executed in double columns. Hiis copy has a ms, tcMe 
prefixed, which the Duke di Cassano thought might be coeval, and 
perhaps printed in other copies ; but I doubt the latter conclusion. 
According to the same authority, this book contains 199 leaves ; each 
fiiU column having 43 lines. The colophon, which is as follows, is 
on the reverse of the last leaf but two : * Huius Sebastiani glose ^

63. CoNsuETUDiNES Felicis Urbis Pakhormi. 
Printed by Preller, Naples. 1496. Quarto. 

This ifl the first edition of the Municipal Laws of the City of Pa- 
lermOi The Duke di Cassano rightly calls it ' a rare and beautifully 
printed book' — ^in a large gothic type— very similar^ on first view> to 
the earlier printed books in Spain. The same authority supposes^ also 
very correctly, that these laws were first made known to the public, 
through the Ne(q)oUtan press, in consequence of the want of a press at 
Palermo. It is true that Panzer (vol. ii. p. 245), upon the authority 
of Maittaire— and this latter, again, upon that of MongUors Bibl, Sic. 
vol. i. p.* 355,— notices a work, of the date of 1477> &8 having issued 
from the Palermo press : but thb is not to be relied upon — ^for why 
should no other book have issued from the same press in the xvth 
century } The Pftdre Sterzinger, a bibliographical friend of the Duke 
di Cassano, has been led astray by the same authorities — ^but observes 
the Duke — ' after the strictest search and enquiries, both in public 
and private libraries, I have not been able to find any book printed 
either by Andreas de Wormacia (the supposed printer of the sijq)posed 
book of 1477)j or any other printer, at Palermo^ in tiie xvth century.' 

It remains briefly to describe the volume in question. On the recto 
of the first leaf, above a wood-cut of the arms of the city of Palermo, 
is the title; above given,. The reverse is blank. On the recto of the 
ensuing leaf, a t;, commences the table— ending on the recto of the 
third ensuing leaf, or a iij. Then, on b i, recto, the text of the Laws

1475 and 1478 are equally supposititious. In consequence^ this little 
▼olume^ treating of the gallant exploits of the Venetian conunander 
in question— who was among the most celebrated characters of his 
day*-is not without considerable intrinsic value. It iis executed in 
the usually degant style of printibg> visible in the associated produc-

gencen. The signatures^ from a to g, including a blank leaf for a,

composition is partly Italian and partly Latin — ^whereas it is wholly 
Italian ', with the exception presently to be mentioned : and the latter 
infers that the printer was Jeruorij which is certainly erroneous — as an 
examination of the lower-case m and h will alone prove to the con- 
trary. It has however very much the appearance of a book printed 
at Venice ; a conjecture^ which may be supposed to be confirmed by 
the tax pages of hexameter Latin verses at the end^ in praise of that 
dty. The present copy unfortunately wants two leaves out of the six^ 
of the table^ with which the impression commences. On the ensuing 
leaf^ or first of the te^t^ beneath six lines of a capital-letter prefix^ 
the poem commences^ thus :

68. Dante. La Divina Comedia. Printed at 
Naples. 1477* Folio. 

This edition is beautifully printed in a fine^ large, round roman 
type, upon paper of the most delicate tint and manufacture : but the 
present copy is in indifferent condition. The first four leaves (espe- 
cially the third) are of a sombre tint, and inlaid, and a worm has 
committed sad ravages upon some ten or a dozen of the last 22 leaves. 
The last three leaves are also inlaid. But a more serious source of 
grievance belongs to it ; as signatures n it and n tm are duplicates ; 
and have been substituted for o u and o oti— which latter are here 
wanting. The copy is, in other respects, unskilfully ruled, and 
somewhat damaged in the inner margin. 

On the recto of the first leaf, sign, a i, the poem of the Inferno be- 
gins, with a prefix of six lines of capital letters. A fiill page has 32 
lines. Brunet says that the signatures, a to gg, run in eights ; except 
a and f f, which have each only six, and g g seven : but, in the pre- 
sent copy, I find the first signature with seven leaves — and the first two 
leaves of b, unmarked. On the recto of ^ g vij, is the colophon, thus :

The Duke di Cassano attributes the printing (and apparently with 
justice,) to M, Moravus; the most skilful of all the early Neapolitan 
printers. I have compared the text of this edition with that of the 
first edition, printed by Numeister at Foligno, in 1472, and find it so 
very different,* as to render it indisputable, that the one was not a

A tract of 33 leaves, printed in the very best manner of A. de

These ' documenta' appear to be wholly of a grammatical kind. 
The present impression is executed in a close, but tall and rather ele- 
gantly formed ronum type, which the Duke di Cassano conceived to 
have a strong resemblance to those used by Francesco Nicolo Fioren- 
tino, in the ' divina dottrina rivelata a S. Gaterina.' There are nei- 
ther signatures, numerals, nor catchwords 3 and a full page contains 
29 lines. The colophon is on the recto of the 31st and last leaf, in

71. DiAS (Manuel), Libro de Albetteria. 
Printed at Saragassa. 1495. Folio. 

This handsomely printed book is slightly noticed by Panzer (vol. iv. 
p. 268), on the authority of CaballerOj p. 56. It is a book of recipes 
in medicine, composed in the Castilian tongue, by Martino Martinez 
Dampiez. Unfortunately, the present copy is, towards the end, in a 
very wretched condition— from a large, and I fear, immoveable stain 
—which pervades the last twenty leaves. The title, in very large lower- 
case gothic letters, is on the recto of the first leaf. A table follows ; 
the first page of it being numbered III. The pages are numbered as 
far as page XVI. — when the foUo9 begin to be numbered— and con- 
tinue so, regularly, to fol. LXXVH — ^the last in the book. On the 
reverse, are the printer's device (between a figure of a pilgrim, and 
that of St. Sebastian) and colophon ^ the latter occupying 14 lines 
below the former. 

Since the preceding was written, this book has returned ham the 
binder (C. Lewis) wonderfully mended and improved : and bound 
in pale russia.

Second edition in the Latin tongue ; that of 147%, printed at Bo-

ters commences on the reverse of the first leaf, and ends on the 
reverse of the second. Then a blank leaf, intended for ai; as on 
the recto of a ii, the Latin version begins. The signatures extend to 
q 'y of which a has 10, from thence, to 1, in eights : <, m, in sixes :

tion -^castigating, as usual, the defective description of it by Laire in

Terasonensis occupies tbe reverse of the first leaf. A table of two 
kares follows ; wbicb, from Audiffiredi*s statement, appears to be de-- 
fective : another leaf being wanted. The text follows, here elegantly 
deoomted by a coeval illumination. On the reverse of the last leaf 
but one, is the colophon, in ten lines, as given by Audiffredi. A regis- 
ter of one leaf ensues. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor 
catchwords : a fiiU column containing 50 lines. In a bibliographical 
point of view, this volume is desirable — as containing the name of 
George Lover of fFurtzhurg, which rarely occurs, and as exhibiting a 
variety of his types— it being a different fount to that which appears 
in the Qumtus Curtius and other early books by the same printer. This 
copy has been recently and handsomely bound in russia. 

74. DuRANDUs. Rationale Divikorum Offi- 
ciORUM. Printed by Moravus, Naples. 1478.

This is one of the almost innumerable editions of the present work. 
It should seem that there was hardly a printer in Europe who did not 
conoeive himself in duty bound, as it were, to bring forth an impres- 
sion of this celebrated performance. It was not therefore likely to 
have escaped the press of so eminent a printer as Moravus. There 
is nothing remarkable in the printing of the volume, except that it 
is executed in the large gothic type of Moravus, which has not the 
elegance of the smaller. With the exception of the first leaf of a 
table (which seems as if it should have been preceded by others), this 
volume contains 344 leaves : the colophon, in nine lines, being at the 
bottom of the second column. The present is an indifferent copy, 
in dark calf binding.

This edition, otherwise of no very great importance, is retained as 
a specimen of Planck's press, with his name and the above date sub- 
joined. The printer styles himself thus : ' Impressum Rome per inditu

in double columns, without numerals, signatures, and catchwords. 
A short introductory address, and table of chapters, occupy the first

In a very small gothic type, and unquestionably the production of 
the press of Moraous, The Duke di Cassano has justly supposed it 
to be executed by that printer. The work is dedicated to Andreas 
Matheus Aquarinis, of Arragon, ' a knight, (says the Duke di C.) 
celebrated for his valour, knowledge, and learning.* The work of 
Elysius terminates on the recto of c "vj : a having 6, and b eight leaves

these epistles, those of Politian occupy the greater part of the volume. 
It is doubtless an interesting collection. Among them I find one, from 
Pico of Mirandula, noticing the pleasures of which he had recently 
partaken, at Florence, in the society of Politian, who, ' in his opinion, 
is the most learned man of his age.' It is the CLXI Letter. The 
present indifferent copy has been recently bound in calf. 

79. Ferdinandi Vita & Laudes. {Printed by 
I. p. de Lignamine. ) 1472. Quarto. 

Although no name of printer be subjoined, it is quite clear that this 
book was printed by I. P. de Lignamine^-even were not his name, 
as the avowed author of the composition, prefixed to the first page. 
It is painful to think that so excellent a scholar as this printer — whom 
Audiifredi loses no opportunity of praising— -should be amiong the 
most careless and inaccurate of his profession j for at the end of the 
colophon, on the recto of the 2Sd and last leaf, the book is said to 
have been executed in 1462, ' the first year of the pontificate of Pope 
Sixtus IV.'— whereas that event occurred in 147^. It is therefore 
antedated 10 years. On the recto of the last leaf but one, the printer 
speaks with great self-commendation of his generous and liberal spi- 
rit in the execution of his business — ^that he prints for honour, and 
not for lucre— and mentions his execution of the treatise ' De San- 
gwne Chmti/ by that Pontiff, with the same motive. There are nei- 
ther signatures, numerals; nor catchwords. The present is a sound 
copy, in calf binding.

This is doubtless a very rare book. Panzer makes no mention of

A very indifferent copy of an impression rather curious to the bib-

in his Latin Maop of 1474 and 1476. It is printed in double co-

84. Gafori, Frakcisci, Theoricum opus Mu- 
sics DISCIPLINE. Printed by Franciscus di 
DinOj Naples. 1480. Quarto. 

The Duke di Cassano has taken great pains in the description of 
this uncommon book^ which he calls ' the first edition and of extreme 
rarity.' According to Laire, vol. i. p. 9B, no. 28> Maittaire has badly 
described it ; but Mercier, in his Supplement to Marchand^ p. 97i has 
been comparatively copious and particular. Panzer^ vol. ii. p. 146> 
BO. 41> does not appear to have ever seen it ; for he quotes the words 
' Theoricum opus Armonices D'udpUfus, with a quffire whether they may 
not imply the same work : whereas^ the truth is^ these very words are 
printed in the colophon of this impression. The book contains three 
or four wood-cuts ; of which the first, on the recto of the 17th leaf, 
represents six men beating an anvil with sledge hanmiers, according 
to time : the nimierals over the hammers are too obscure to be distin- 
guished with accuracy, but the four last run in this order : viii . viiij . 
XII . XVI . The text appears to explain it. The Duke di Cassano 
calls this ' a fine wood-cut* -»but qualifies his praise by adding, ' I say 
' fine*— with reference to the period of its execution.' It is in fact 
sufiiciently rude, but curious. The other cuts are chiefly diagrams, 
with an exception towards the end — which represents a man sitting 
and playing upon an instrument like an organ : which cut I remember 
to have seen in some other early publication. 

The impression begins on the reverse of the first leaf, with two 
pages of table. On the reverse of the second leaf, the dedicatory 
address of the author to I. Arcimboldus begins, and ends on the re- 
verse of the foiurth leaf. Next commences the text, ' De Effectibus 
B( Commendaiione Muske Capitulum Primum* A full page has 26 lines. 
There are neither ntunerals, signatures, nor catchwords. In the 
whole, including a leaf of register, which follows the colophon in 7 
lines, there are 14 leaves. In the colophon, the printer is designated 
as a Florentine. The author's concluding address is in verse, termi- 
nating thus :

I suspect, for 1477 — since the book was printed six years before. The

Having entered so fully into the account of this extraordinary his-

to observe, that the present impression, with the exception of the prefix, 
(which is here in three lines<»purporting to be an address of I. M. 
Tuberinus to the Rector and Senate of the people of Brescia) and 
conclusion, is precisely a copy of the edition of Guldinbeck (above 
described), which was executed in March 1475, the present appearing 
to be in April in the same year. The difference in the conclusion 
consists of an addition of two lines, informing us that the Jews, be- 
sides being ' imprisoned and chained,' were, some of them, hung up 
by the feet between two malefactors; others stabbed, and others 
burnt.' The colophon consists of eight hexameter and pentameter 
verses^ preceded by the word ' Miraculum,' and followed by FINIS

91. HoRATii Opera Omnia. Printed by Amoir 
dus de Bruxella, at Nipples. 1474. Quarto. 

This book is, beyond all doubt, the rarest classical volmne in the 
world. No other copy of it is known -, a circumstance which, how- 
ever extraordinary, is nevertheless true. Panzer, vol. ii. p. 155, no. 
1 1, says only thus of it : 'Editio rarissima , a CI. Morellio visa, nemini 
ex prsecipuis bibliographis dicta.' He gives however the colophon, at 
the end of the Odes, from the information of Morelli. Sautander bor- 
rows this colophon, and merely remarks : 'Edition infiniment rare 
et peu connue/ Dkt. BibUog, Chois. vol. ii. p. 36. 'Edizione (says 
the Duke di Cassano,) celebrata par la esimia di lei raritk, eeeg^nita 
nel med. anno, in cui furon fatte le due primarie con data, do^ quella 
di Ferrara, et 1* altro di Milano.* By these latter editions, the Duke 
di Cassano refers to the EpUtks and Odes only, printed at FerraniF— 
and the entire works at Milan— each in 1474 -, the latter, with the 
commentary of Aero. Of these editions, a copious description is given 
in the BibL Spenc. vol. ii. p. 69-77 ; but the commentary of Porphyrio 
is there erroneously said to accompany the latter edit, of 1474. 

Before I proceed to a minute bibliographical account of the arrange- 



56 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

ment, and of the readiogSj of the text of this unique volume^ it may 
not be irrelevant to remark^ that the Rev. Mr. Babington has com- 
pleted a carefiil collation of it with the following early editions in this 
Library : namely, the Ferrara of 1474, Zarotus 1474> Laoagna 1476, 
P. C. Petri 1479, L. de StrazaroUs 1481, Landinus 1482, PfuUmunu 
1490, MandneUui 1495, and Lochetus 1498 : besides the reputed £(2i^ 
Prmceps in 4to, without date, and those of Guldinbeck and Lavagna 
without dates 3 the latter considered as the second edition in the Bibl. 
Spencer, vol. ii. p. 66 : and the result has been, that Mr. Babington has 
established (in his own judgment) that ' this edition is copied from 
the 4to. Editio Princeps, corrected however with considerable care, 
and from MSS. of no mean authority.* 

In this edition, by A. de Bruxella, there is no preface, so that it is 
not possible to know exactly who was the Editok. If Rlessinger had 
been the printer, we should have had little hesitation in assigning that 
office to Tuppo, who was at any rate a skilful jurisconsult, if not an 
accomplished classical scholar. 

The present copy begins with the first ode to Mecenas : which, 
from the prefix alone, may be considered decisive that the Neapolitan 
impression is not a mere reprint of its precursors. 

Quinti Oratii flacci liber primus icipit me 
trum Asclepiadis pragmatiee monocolos : 

ECENAS atauis edite regibus : 
Ohe presidiu dulce decus meum 
Sut quos curriculo puluere olipicu 
CoUegisse iuuat : metaq; feruidis : 

Enitata rotis ? palmaq; nobilis : 

Terrarum dominos euehit ad deos.^ 

&c- &c. &c. 

* The commencement of the above ode, in the dateless folio edition (supposed to be 
hf XM9agna) , and in that printed by Zarotos at Milan, in 1474, is thus : 

Qninti Horatii Flacci Vennsini Canninnm liber 
primus ad Meoenatem 

Ecoenas Atauis edite regibus : 
O Sf presidium & dulce decus meum : 
&c. dec. &c. 
In the dateless quarto, or supposed first edition, the title is Quinti Oratii Flacci 
Carminvm Liber Primvs : The text is similar to those just mentioned. The first 
korace printed by Aldus, in 1501, has < O e'— the t haring dropped from the e— for, 
in the edition of 1519, it is ' O et:

A full page of the odes— -without any break or vacancy— contains 
95 lines. In the Epistles aiid Satires, there are only 94 lines in a full 
pag^. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. The 
titles, prefixed to the several odes, are different here, from those of 
the before mentioned editions ; so that I cannot help considering the 
MS. from which this book was printed, to be inspected for the first 
time by the editor. The odes conclude on the recto of the 81st leaf 
—with the following colophon — beneath the word Fixis. 

Completum est opus Oratii in odis per Ar 
naldum de Bruxella Neapoli Anno domini 
Millesimo quadringentesimo septuagesimo*

On the reverse of the 113th leaf, beneath the ninth and concluding 
line of text, there is the following verse of the editor or printer :

On the recto of the ensuing, and 114th leaf, the ^rt of Poetry begins

The Satires contain 45 leaves ; ending oa the reverse of the 168th 
leaf from the beginning of the volume^ inclusively. The conclusion 
is thus :

FINIS. 

A register occupies the recto of the ensuing and last leaf. The re- 
verse is blank. Such is the bibliographical account of the contents 
of this very extraordinary volume : the only accoimt^ of any extent or 
importance, which has been hitherto before the public. Notwith- 
standing the copy under description, has, in every respect, a quarto 
form— being about 8 inches by 5f— yet the water marks are perpen- 
dicular. Nor has there been any violent symptom of cropping by the 
former owners— as the 70th leaf is rough throughout, and the three 
following are rough at bottom. It is very singular that this book, 

• Sic. t Sic. I Sic. § Sic.

like the copy of the aUnoit equally rare edition of Juvenal^ described at 
page 6S post, should have been in the hands, of one who has almost 
entirely fiUed the margins with ms. annotations — apparently of the 
time of the publication. These ms. addenda have been nearly oblite- 
rated by its late owner by means of pure water ; so that, with the 
exception of a few tender places, the volume may be considered sound 
and desirable.

In the usual (or second) roman type of the printer. An interesting 
address of Tuppo to I. B. de Bentiuoglio de Saaso ferrato, occupies the 
reverse of the first leaf. On the recto of the last leaf, is the colo- 
phon, thus :

The name of Tuppi rarely appears as a printer. In fiict Riessinger, 
of Strasbourg, printed the book, and Tuppi superintended the publi- 
cation. A large copy, having the bottom edges uncut. In nissia 
binding.

A reprint of the preceding edition, but in the roman letter. At th^ 
end of the text, is a joint address of Riessinger and Tuppi to I. B. de 
Bentivoglio. The colophon is precisely the same as the preceding j 
only, at the end, are the words * Sixtus Riessinger* in a large gothic 
type. A register occupies the recto of the following and last leaf. 
There are neither numerals^ signatures, nor catchwords. Recently 
bound in nissia.

There can be no question of this volume having been printed b j

A fiill page> as usual^ contains 27 lines. According to the ms. nume- 
ralB of this copy^ there are 135 leaves in the present impression. At

' Editio Pbingeph & Rarissima.* Such is the emphatic designation 
of this impression in Laire's Index lAbror, vol. ii. p. 157* Denis, p. 
28S, no. 3338, refers to Capponi, p. 213, Foutanini, vol. ii. p. 4, and 
Gaignat, p. 502 ; besides the Cat, de la VaUiere, vol ii. p. 494. Thes^ 
authorities, however, are sufficiently meagre — especially the last. On 
the recto of the first leaf is the following title : ' Lavde Di Frate 
lacopone da Todi'-»in capital letters. The proheme commences on 
the back of this title, and terminates on the recto of the following 
leaf, A ii. The copy noticed by Laire wanted one leaf of this pro- 
heme. A table, in two colmnns, commences on the reverse of A ii — 
and concludes, in long lines, on A iiii. v, vi, vij. Then a leaf, of which 
the reverse presents us with a wood-cut, in outline, of which the upper 
part of the subject displays the virgin, irradiated, and seated upon 
clouds, with three cherubim at the lower part, and four angels 
above : the whole in very good taste, and worthy of Florentine art 
of this period. Below is the saint, praying, before a desk : his head 
and hands are too large. On the recto of the ensidng leaf, a i, the 
text commences thus :

96. lusTo Paladino de Franza, La Vita de. 
Printed at Venice. 1487. Quarto. 

This scarce little metrical tract, in eight line stanzas, appears to 
have escaped Panzer. The copy under description commences on the 
vecto of a «| ; but whether it had not a preceding leaf, a i, may be 
doubted ; or, if so, such preceding leaf may be blank. The title, be- 
neath a rude wood-cut— of Fortime appearing to a man sitting down, 
with another man about to enter a wood to the left— is thus : ' Qui

This litde Italian tracts which I presume to be one of the many 
Italian versions of the above subject, appears to have escaped Pan- 
zer : see his Typog. Annal. vol. v. p. 259. It consists of 35 leaves, 
without numerals, signatures, or catchwords ; having 28 lines in a 
full page. On the recto of the last leaf, after the word ' ystoria./ 
is FINIS — ^which, with the previous word, forms the whole line. Re- 
cently bound in red calf. 

98. lusTus DE CoMiTiBus. La Bella Mano. 
Printed by Scipio Malpiglius, at Bologna. 
1472. Folio. 

Notwithstanding there were copies of this book in the Crevenna, 
Finelli, and Brienne collections, yet is it a very unconmion volume ; 
and most important, in a bibliographical point of view, as it respects 
the history of early printing at Bologna. Audiffredi (Edit. Itai. 
p. 14,) is copious and interesting. He says that Orlandi and Mait- 
taire were ignorant of the Bolognese printer by whofii this work was 
executed ; nor has he himself seen any other production of his press— 
unless indeed the ' Regulse cum Glossis, super carmina differentialia,* 
of Guarinus (in which mention is made of one * Scipio*— his surname 
being suppressed,) be considered as another production of the same 
printer. Audiffredi*s description of the contents of the volume is ne- 
cessarily imperfect, as the only copy inspected by him (in the library 
of the Canon Devoti) wanted the table. This deficiency is supplied 
by Brunet. A concise description is therefore only here necessary. 
Some complimentary verses of I. Baptista De Reffrigerius (14 lines) 
which are printed on the reverse of the first leaf, precede the table. 
The table occupies three leaves. The poem follows^-on the recto of 
the fifth leaf, thus : 

IVSTI DE COMITIBUS ROMANI 
VTRIVSQUE IVRIS INTERPRE

&c. &e. &a. 

The author made Petrarch his model ; and in the opinion of Quadrio, 
▼ol. ii. p. 197> 18 supposed at times to have reached the elegance and 
tenderness of his original. In the whole^ 73 leaves. On the reverse 
of the last leaf is the colophon, thus : 

PER ME SCIPIONEM MALPIGLIVM 
BONONIENSEM . M . CCCC ♦ LXXII . 

There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. It is justly 
observed by AudifEredi, that a general resemblance may be traced be- 
tween all the types of the early Bologna printers : those of Rugerius 
and Bertochus, and Azzoguidi's smaller fount, being very like the pre- 
sent : but a more strict conformity appears between the founts of 
Malpiglius and Rugerius, &c. The present is a sound and desirable 
copy, in foreign red morocco binding. 

99. JuvENALis. (Printed by Ulric Han.) With^

Editxo Pbinceps. I perfectly assent to the opinions of Fossi and 
the Duke di Cassauo, that this edition— unknown to Audiffredi and 
Panzer^— may be considered the parent printed text of Juvenal ', and 
with the exception of the copy in the Magliabechi library, and another 
in that of Count d*Elci at Florence, I apprehend the present to be the 
only copy known. Its rarity and value may be therefore easily appre- 
ciated. It is true that Fossi, in his account of this impression, (Btbl, 
MagUabechij vol. iii. col. 91-2) and in which he notices the Duke di 
Cassano*s copy— now under description (but not 'aureis initialibus 
insigne')— refers to the opinions of some who have supposed that this 



64 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

edition may have been executed by 9ixtu$ Atetftf^er— *as the smaller 
types of that printer were predBely those used in the earlier pieces of 
Ulric Han-*nor can he either confirm or refute this opinion from 
the want of collating the present book with one, printed with such 
types of Riessinger as are found in the present volume. This is sur- 
prising, from a man who had the Magliabechi library at his command. 
However, plausible as may be the argument in question, I incline to 
think that the present book was in fact the production of Ulric Han's 
press— inasmuch as it is a classical poet, afterwards reprinted by him, 
in his larger type ; and as Riessinger seldom or never used his earlier 
types on poetical authors. These types have moreover so perfect a 
resemblance to those of the Tusculan QueHums, and the Art of Oraionf, 
printed by Ulric Han in the years 1468 and 1469, that I make no 
scruple in assigning at least the latest of these dates to the impression 
under consideration. 

The text commences thus<— on the recto of the first leaf, without 
either prefix or title : 

Emper ego auditor tantum : 
nunq Dp repoii& . Vexatus 
totiens rauci tbeseide codri ? 
Impune ergo mihi recitauerit

A full page has 25 lines. There are neither numerals^ signatures^ 
nor catchwords. Fossi makes the volume to consist of 78 leaves, but 
I find only 77 in the present copy 5 having marked with the pencil 
each individual leaf. Where a fresh Satire commences, a small space 
is observed, without indication of title or numeral order. On the re- 
verse of the last leaf, having 26 lines on this page, the conclusion is 
thus — ^followed by no colophon, or other distinctive mark, as in the 
subsequent edition. 

Vt qui fortis erit sic & felicissimus idem 
Vt leti phaleris omnes & torquibus omnes. 

The present copy, which is short— being about 7| by 5|— appears 
to have been once plentifully charged with ms. annotations : now 
successfully taken out by pure water. It is, in other respects, most 
desirable, and, to a classical collection like this, invaluable. In foreign 
red morocco binding. 

101. JuYENALis. {Printed by GuldinbecJc.) 1474. 
Quarto. 

From the silence of Fkinzer, Bnmet, and other bibliographers, I am 
probably justified in calling thu the rarest edition of the poet, of which 
we have any knowledge. Yet, as it has been preceded by several date- 
ten (and no doubt cmierwr) impressions, it may probably be only a 
reprint of some previous edition. That it was printed by GuHinheck 
(although the Duke di Cassano had supposed it to have been a pro- 
duction of Amoldus de Bruxella) is I think evident, from the form 
of the capital letters R, L, and E : the lower case of these printers 
being precisely similar. On the recto of the first leaf, the text begins 
thoB— 4eaving a space 'of about an inch and a quarter square, for the 
insertion of an illuminated letter.

102. La:urentii Vall^ . Eleganti^ Likguje 
Latins. Printed at Naples. Without Date. 
Quarto. 

The Duke di Cassano calls this ' a very rare and unknown edition,' 
and attributes the printing of it to Erandtcus de Dino. A prefatory 
address of Bonus Accursius Pisanus to C. Simoneta, first secretary of 
the Duke of Milan, concludes thus : ' Vale mi clarissime Mecenas o 
& presidium & dulce decus meum.* The text of the author follows 
on the recto of the ensuing leaf j from the title of which we learn that 
the present is an Abridgement of the work of L. Valla above men- 
tioned. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. A 
full page, without any intervention of capital letters, contains 26 lines. 
In the whole, 75 leaves. On the recto of the 75th and last, we read 
as follows :

FoUo. 

Hiese three portions of the Laws and Customs of Naples are 
bound in one volume ; and they are not only the first editions of the 
lespectiTe works^ but are as yaluable as they are rare. The copies are 
unluckily very objectionable^ especially that of the first portion. Four 
leaves of an introduction^ by Marino da Caramantrico^ printed in Ri- 
eflsinger's second-sized Roman type^ in double columns, precede the 
text. The text is printed in a large gothic letter, having the following 
prefix, in red : ' Imperator Eredericus Romanorum Caar $emper augtutus 
YtaUctti Sicuhu leraiolmitantu ArelaiesUfeUx uictor ac trwphator Donuni 
Predend Imperatom IndpU Liber primus de kgibtu ei osuetudinibus aUis

sometimes nearly lost, by a copious commentary, executed in the 
roman type. This first portion contains 77 leaves. On the recto of 
the 77th and last, is the colophon, thus :

The second portion is printed throughout in the roman letter, and

' Canstiiutoes « Staiuta lUustrissmii Domini R^ KaroU Iherusalem & Si- 
dlie Regis pro exequendo subscr^ito statuto' On the recto of the 48th 
leaf, is a very particular colophon, of which the most material part is 
as follows :

This is rightly called by Audiffredi, a very beautiful edition^ in a 
fine roman character— and Laire as correctly designates the print- 
ing to have come from the press of Miscomino. The name of the 
Italian translator is Bartolomeo Corsini. The first four leaves con- 
tain introductory matter, and a table. The text foUows ; and, instead 
of signatures, the leaves are regularly numbered — at the bottom of 
the first page — as far as folio CLXVUI : the following leaf contains 
the colophon, on the recto, thus :

It appears that this little work, which is by no means divested of 
interest, was discovered by F. Aretin, * while he was amusing himself, 
by way of recreation, in turning over several volumes^' and it also 
appears, from the colophon, that Amoldus de Bruxella both collected 
and printed it. It contains prosaical and metrical descriptions, chiefly

of the bathfl in the neig^hbourhood of the city of Pozzuoli ; and ex- 
hibits a strange mixture of &ble and fiict. In his account of the 
Sibyls (or rather of the Erythrean Sibyl) the author appears to have 
consulted an edition of Senrius upon Virgil. The work ends on the 
recto of the 43d leaf^ with a table of contents ^ having the following 
colophon :

106. LiLii VicENTiNi (Zacharije). De Situ 
Orbis Printed by Ayolphus Cantorus, Nappies. 
1496. Quarto. 

This is one of the most elegant volumes, from the early Neapolitan 
press, of which the collection of the Duke di Cassano can boast. 
From the wood-cut arabesque border, on the reverse of the third leaf, 
I should have suspected it to have been printed at Florence \ but 
the colophon forbids such an inference. This is also the second vo- 
lume which I remember to have seen executed by the printer whose 
name is subjoined.* An address of the author to Matheus Bossus, a 
Canon of Verona, commences on the recto, and ends on the reverse, 
of the first leaf. Apparently, it ends abruptly ; but there is nothing, 
from the construction, whereby it may not properly end as it does. 
The answer of Bossus follows on the ensuing leaf, occupying 3 pages. 
Both letters are pleasing, and not uninteresting compositions. On 
the reverse of this third leaf is the arabesque ornament, before men- 
tioned, enclosing the following title — in capital letters : ' ZtuhariK 
LUH Fmcentmi Canonici Regularii Orbis Brmariumjide compendia ardi*

A feir sound copy, recently bound in olive coloured morocco. 

107. LiYius. Printed at Milan, by Zarotw. 1480. 
FoUo. 

The present is, upon the whole, a noble copy of one of the noblest 
productions of the press of ZarotuB. The paper, type, and manner of 
printing, are admirable of their kind. On the recto of A i is the re- 
print of the prefatory epistle of the Bishop of Aleria to Pope Fftul £[., 
which concludes on the recto of A ill. Epitomes of the several books 
follow, as fiur as C V, reverse. A table of chapters occupies the recto 
of C yj. The text begins on the recto of D i. The previous signa- 
tures, with the exception of are in eights. The ensuing one in 
tens. The second Decad concludes on the reverse of R vij«-a blank 
leaf forms R viij. Then a fresh set of signatures ; beginning with the 
preface of the third Decad, on a i to Y, in tens : Y, Z, in sixes : &, 
then : 3, ten: 9, ten : Then A A, BB, in tens — a blank leaf forming 
BB ten. On the reverse of BB ix, is the colophon, in five lines. 
This copy has some sound coeval illuminations, and has been bound 
recently by C. Lewis in russia.

The Duke di Cassano has given rather an elaborate account of this 
impression, which he rightly designates as ' equally rate and unde-

scribed.* F&nzer, vol. ii. p. 156, no. 15^ relies exclusively upon Mait- 
taire, vol. i. p. 348 — who had evidently seen it$ for^ in a note> he 
mentions the day of the month of the impression^ and the colophon 
as being ' cum tabuUl quintemionum.' Brunet has not noticed (as 
not being perhaps within the scope of his work) any of the earlier 
Latin versions of Lucian. There is a peculiarity in this impression 
worth mentioning. In many of the pages there are hiatuses, of from 
two to four inches, as if it should have been the intention of the prin- 
ter to have them filled by Greek characters, at that time wanting in 
his office. This was the opinion of the Duke di Cassano« and I own 
that I adopted it without hesitation 5 but Lord Spencer, on comparing 
the Latin version with the Greek original, in the Aldine edition of 
1508, found that there was no deficiency of the kind -» and that the 
Latin text was a continued version of the Greek. His Lordship ac- 
counts for these blank spaces, by supposing that they were intended 
to be filled up by the pencU of the iUumintitor ; as they always follow 
sinmglf descriptive passages of persons or things. It seems indeed diffi- 
cult to account for them upon any other hypothesis. 

The Latin version is by Lilius Castellanus. This edition con- 
tains 48 leaves, without signatures, catchwords, or numerals, and 24 
lines in a full page. The colophon, in six lines, is at the bottom of 
the recto of the last leaf, beneath the register ; purporting the book 
to have been printed on the 6th of March 1478. The present is a 
sound copy> in dark foreign calf binding. 

109. LUNARDO luSTINIAKO. LaUDE SpIRITUALI. 

Printed by Leon. Basiliensis^ Vincenza. 1745. 
Quarto. 

Ftozer had given very unsatisfiEtctory references about this edition, 
in the 3rd volume of his work, page 507. 5, but in the 4th volume^ 
page 456. 5> he properly refers to Fossi, vol. ii. col. 31, where there 
is a fiill and satbfiactory account both of the book and of the author. 
I may therefore be the more brief in the present place. On the recto 
of the first leaf is the prefix, followed by the text — ^from the former of 
which we learn that the volume contains the effusions of '' other very 
learned men.* The text commences thus : 

lESV dolce o infinito amor 
Inextimabel dono 



72 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

Misero mi che sodo 

Che date fugo e tu me segui ognor. 

A full page has 26 lines. The signatures^ placed below^ have so sus- 
picious an appearance^ that I dare not call them genuine ; and yet 
they are noticed by Fossi. In the present instance^ I am persuaded 
—from their blurred and uneven aspect— 4;hat they are a posterior 
effort^ with the hand } using printer's type and ink. These signa- 
tures run from a to i, in eights 5 the first three leaves only having 
Arabic numbers following the letter. The last signature has only 7 
printed leaves ; on the recto of the 7th of which is the colophon^ 
as given by Fossi, and of which the following lines only may be 
necesssry. 

Q uesta opera fece cum suo terso stille 
L y nardo basilea el trasse a lume 
F acendone copiosi de zio milie 
C um suo mirabel stampa in piu uolume

M CCCC LXXV. 

Faccioli (as Fossi observes) has inaccurately stated the beginning and 
the end of this volume. The present copy has suffered severely from 
some chemical process in cleansing, and the last leaf is inlaid. It has 
been recently bound in olive coloured morocco. 

110. Manfredi De Homine. Printed at Naples. 
1478. FoUo. 

Father Sterzinger^ a particular friend of the Duke di Cassano^ sup- 
plied the latter with an account of this second edition. The firsts of 
the date of 1474> is described in vol. ii. p. 173^ of the JEdes AUhorp. 
Sterzinger observes that the description of it by Fossi> is erroneous^ 
inasmuch as the copy> there described, wanted one leaf 3 and that 
Panzer, in consequence, by copying Fossi, has been led into the same 
error. The present copy is both defective and in bad condition- 
wanting 4 leaves of the table : and the first leaf, wanting the address 
of Tuppo to^Bemardinus Gerardinus, at whose expense the work was. 
published. The whole edition, according to the authority first above 
named, should contain 108 leaves. The colophon, in five lines, is at 
the bottom of the last leaf; and although there be no name of printer

introduced^ there can be little doubt of the volume having been 
printed by Riesmger. 

111. Manipulus Curatorum. (Printed by F. 
de Cinquinis.) Rome. 1477. Quarto. 

This volume commences with three leaves of a table. The text 
follows^ in double columns^ without' numerals^ signatures^ or catch-* 
words : but the leaves are regularly numbered^ in arable figures^ in 
the centre of the page> to the end of the volumes 3 comprehending 83 
leaves. At the bottom of the second column is the colophon— pur- 
porting the book to have been printed at Rome in 1477. Without 
doubt, the printer was Franciscus de Cinquinis. A short address, fol- 
lowed by a register, is on the reverse of the last leaf. A sound, but 
not unsoQed copy, in calf binding. 

112. Marsilio Ficino.* Consilio, di contro la 
Pestilentia. Printed at Florence, in the Mo- 
nnstery of St. James di Rvpoli. 1481. Quarto. 

The only authorities referred to by Panzer, respecting the existence 
of this curious little volume of ' recipes against the plague,' is Denis, 
p. 134, no. 96S, and Fineochi, p. 37 7 where, in turn, Mercier, p. 52, 
is the only authority cited. This impression is printed on signatures 
a to/, in eights. On the reverse of f viij is the colophon, in 5 lines, 
thus : * Impreuum Florentie apud Sanctum lacobu de RipoUs M . cccc . 
haan . ZotM deo 8k gUniose uirgini Marie.* It is the only book, ft-om the 
monastic press above mentioned, in which the spaces, for the capital 
initials, are not filled up by the enlarged ornamented letter : the small 
letter only being occasionally introduced. This may be considered a 
sound and desirable copy ; recently bound in brown calf. 

113. Martialis. Printed by Sweynheym and 
PannartZy Rome. 1473. Folio. 

Audiffredi (Edit. Rom, p. 128,) never saw this exceedingly rare 
edition : but indirectly censures Debure for calling it ' very rare,' 
instead of ' exceedingly rare.' He thinks it may be the third edition 
of the poet in chronological order ; but wishes to satisfy himself about 
a supposed very early impression without indication of printer, time,

or place, of which he can find no account in the workB of bibliogra- 
phers : * Scriverius appears to be the only editor of Martial who has 
examined it— and who praises the text of it ' up to the skies.' t Lord 
Spencer had been many years before he could obtain a copy of this 
edition ; but when he visited Rome, in 1819, the first bookseller's 
shop which he entered supplied him with a copy, A second copy was 
obtained in the purchase of the Duke di Cassano's library i which was 
inferior to the present, and was sold for 10^. 5#. Reverting to the 
volume under description, it may suffice to say that, generally, as fiur 
as I have consulted the comparative texts, it agrees with the Spira 
impression in the readings, but not in the orthography. The same may 
be said of the comparison with Ulric Uan*s edition. On the recto of 
the first leaf, without any biographical or other prefix, the text begins 
thus :

cessary to correct a mistake—inasmuch as Audiffredi is said to have seen a copy of 
the above edition, instead of one of the Spira impression, in the Casanatensian library. 



THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 76 

Indndiiig the titles^ which are always in roman capitals^ there are 90 
lines below. A fiiU page contains 38 lines. There are neither nu- 
merals^ signatures, nor catchwords. On the recto of the l&Oth and 
last leaf, beneath the six well known verses, beginning ' Aspicis illus- 
tris,' &c. ; the date is thus : 

M . CCCC . LXXIII . 
die ultima Aprilis. 

The reverse is blank. The present is a tall, and may be considered a 
most desirable, copy j notwithstanding a former possessor has, in 
the right side margin, suffered the copy to be deprived of a great 
deal of marginal importance. It has been recently bound by C. Lewis 
in green morocco, with ornamented joints, in a very elegant manner. 

114. Martyrium Sebastiani. Printed by Ber- 
nardinus Celerms de LuerCy Treviso. 1480, 
Quarto. 

This is an Italian metrical piece, of six leaves only. The author 
is Georgius Smnmarippa. A dedication to three distinguished Italian 
characters occupies the recto of the first leaf. The text begins on 
the reverse, thus : 

e ben da la fortuna conquassato 
8 son per inuidia da qualehe horn peruerso 

At the end, on the reverse of the 6th and last leaf^ ' Seruitor georgius 
summarippa' — ^beneath which is the colophon, in 13 lines of capital 
letters -, of which the most essential is above given. In yeUow calf 
binding. 

115. MESUiE Opera Medicikalia. Printed by 
Conrad Gnldenmund, of Nuremberg^ Naples. 
1478. Folio. 

This is a beautifully printed book, of a rare typographical artist 
— the types being, as I suspect, precisely similar to those used by 
Moravui in the edition of Seneca's Moral Works of the same date. The 
present copy is, however, wretched in the extreme. An address of 
Petrus Gulosus de Amalfia precedes the text. The work is destitute

of numerals^ signatures, and catchwords. The colophon, in capital 
letters, is thus — on the recto of the last leaf : / loannii Mene Medici 
Clarissimi cum certa addUione Petri Apponi Medici Preclari Liber felidter

pressvs Anno Domini M. CCCC , LXXVUL Die tertia Mentis lanoaru: 
In common half binding. 

116. MissALE RoMANUM. Printed by Moravw. 
Naples. 1477. Folio. 

The ]>uke di Cassano is lavish in his commendations upon the 
beauty of this copy—- which is upon vellum. It is doubtless a de- 
sirable volume ; but defective, in wanting the Calendar— or the first 
six leaves — ^^vhich defect, indeed, the Duke notices. In other re- 
spects, the copy is second rate, being both stained ond cropt-^but as 
a specimen of a Vellum Moravus, executed in the printer* s largest go- 
thic type, it is, as before observed, a desirable acquisition. In com- 
parison virith the vellum copy of the first edition of this Missal,* 
and from the same collection, it is indeed a very inferior volume. 
According to the Duke's reckoning, there are 240 leaves in this edi- 
tion — exclusively of the table. The same authority further ob- 
serves, that Zaccaria, in his Bibl. Ritual, vol. i. p. 52, supposes this 
impression to contain a singularity in the * Miasa pro Anima,' of which 
there had been doubts : but, says he, if he had seen the Missal of 
1475, he would have found the same Moss contained in that publica- 
tion also. The colophon to the present book, in 7 lines, is as follows : 
' Sub felicissimo Ferdinando Rege incUte Neap : ops hoc sacru^ impreuum 
eU per Mathiam Morauum . Emendatumq^ diligentissime per ReUgiosoi 
Jratres Sdcte Marie noue . Anno . M . cccc . Ixxvij* The present copy 
has been recently bound in dark green morocco. 

117. MoMBRiTius. ViTiE Sanctorum. (Printed 
at Milan.) Without Date. Folio. 

It is observed by Panzer, (vol. i. p. 100,) upon the authorities cited 
by him, that this impression must have been published before the 
year 1480 ; as Cicho Simoneta, to whom the work is dedicated, died 
by the hands of the executioner in that year, A table occupies the

the second four, leaves : § has eight gatherings, in eights : T has

recto of W ten, the text concludes, without any indication of printer's 
name, &c. Some verses of Mombritius to Simoneta are on the recto of 
W ix. Of all the books which I have ever collated, the present has 
exhibited the most capricious and puzzling arrangement of signatures. 
I have compared the types of this edition with those in the impres- 
sion of the Thebais of Statins, of which Mombritius was also the 
editor, and which is described in the Bibl. Spenc, vol. ii. p. 371— and 
find the types of both books to be conformable with each other. This 
is a sound and desirable copy, in old French blue morocco binding. 

118. Naso Siculus (I) De Spectaculis a 
Panhormitanis, &c. edttis. Without Name 
(f Printer, Place, or Date. Quarto. 

I do not know why the Duke di Cassano places this elegantly prin- 
ted volume among the productions of the Neapolitan press. If it be 
so, it must have been executed by Moravus. But I incline to con- 
sider it as a production of the Venetian press, and as probably printed 
by'/. Rubeus, or by Bernard, or Luca» Venetus. The tract commences 
with a metrical address by the author to ' I. Bonannus, an excellent 
man and admirable jurisconsulist.' This on al. On a«, conmiences 
the work, with the following title : ' loannis Nasonis SicuU PanhormU 
de Spectaculis a Pahormitanis in Aragmei regis laudem editis BarcMnonia 
in Jidem aus recq^ta falidter indpit.* There are eighteen lines below. 
A full page has 84 lines. The work is executed on a, b, c, in eights -, 
except that a 4 seems to be wanting ; unless a 1 be erroneously prin- 
ted for a^— a blank leaf forming a 1. There does not appear to be

The present is a very fylr, sound copy 5 recently bound in yellow mo- 
rocco. It appears to have formerly belonged to a family of the name 
of BeneDentanus — and on the recto of the fly leaf is marked ' Codice 
del 400/ 

119. OCHSEKBRUNNER ThOMAS. GeSTA ViRO- 

RUM Illustrium. Printed by Besicken, ^c. 
Rome. 1494. 

I hardly remember to have seen a more tastefully printed little 
volume than the present. The capital initials are preceded by wood- 
cut figures^ either whole or half lengths^ supposed to represent the 
characters discoursed of — in a very neat manner. It must be admit- 
ted^ however, that these portraits are applied to very different cha- 
racters. 

On the reverse of the 1st leaf, a i, is the address of the author, thus 
entitled : ' FrcUris Thome Ochsenhruner BasiUen ordinis fratrum predica* 
torum In priscoru fuerou Stemata ampUumo patri Paulo de campo Ere' 
goto tituU tancU SixH presbyiero CardmaU Genuen^ dicata Prohemm* 
The arms of the Cardinal, neatly cut in wood, precede the address. 
On the reverse of the second leaf, the text begins — surrounded by 
a very neat wood-cut border. A large wood cut entirely occupies 
the recto of the 4th leaf. The signatures comprehend a to d, inclu- 
sively 'y of which a and d are in eights, and b and c in sixes. A blank 
laaf forms d viij. On the recto of d vij, is the colophon thus :

On the reverse, are some hexameter and pentameter verses of An- 
dreas Prenestinus* The present fiair and desirable copy is in yellow 
calf binding.

121. OviDius. Metamorphoseon liber. Prin- 
ted at Ferrara, hy Carneritis. 1476. Folio. 

This identical copy is described in Audiffredi*s Spee» Edit. Ital, p. 
337^ from the very words of the Duke di Cassano — ^but it is a more 
copious description than appears in his ms. catalogue before me. Au- 
difiredi calls the impression ' rarior inter rarissimas.' An address of 
Franciscus Puteolanus^ the editor^ to Cardinal Gonzaga^ precedes the 
life of Ovid^ by the same hand. In the commencement of this address 
the former teUs the latter^ that he had lately caused the poems of Ovid 
to be revised and corrected^ and edited under the Cardinal's patro- 
nage.* (Quaere^ does any previons edition^ printed at Ferrara^ exist ?) 
A life of Ovid follows, on the recto of the second leaf, and ends on 
the recto of the third, with the date of 1476 beneath. The reverse is 
blank. The Metamorphoses begin on the recto of the ensuing leaf, 
preceded by six hexameter and pentameter verses : of which the two 
last are as foUow : 



80 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

Quicquid in his igitur uicu* rude carmen habebit : 
Emendatunis si licuisset eram. 

Lord Spencer, who has collated this copy, observes, that * the ga- 
therings are irregular : the first, after three leaves of dedication and 
preface, having 10 leaves— from the beginning of the text : then IS 
gatherings, of eight leaves each ; next, five gatherings of six leaves 
each 3 then one of eight leaves — ^which is followed by four leaves, on 
the first page of which the book ends.' This edition has one typogra- 
phical singularity, on the score of catchwords— which occur on the 
reverse of the last leaf of each gathering, in the centre of the bottom 
margin. On the recto of the last leaf, is the following colophon : 

F inibus ausonip motus qui c^saris ira est

in a small hand, in red ink. It is in foreign calf binding.

This is, in every respect, an interesting little quarto volume. It is 
among the very earliest works printed upon the subject of P/iyno^- 
fumy, and is also among the earliest books from the press of Maufer, 
who was a native of Rouen. The author was Petrus Padubanensis, a 
Parisian — who styles himself ' phie minimus alumnorum.' This book 
is entirely destitute of numerals, signatures, and catchwords ; and has 
the foUowing colophon, beneath the words ' Gratias Ai^tissimo Deo,' 
on the reverse of the 50th and last leaf : a full page having 34 lines.

Althongb the title of the prologue pronounces this work to treat of 
military matters^ that of the text^ on the recto of the second leaf, ^ves 
us to understand that it relates io^ihe laws of tingle combat, called Du- 
XLLiNG.' It is doubtless a curious and uncommon volume : ' opera curi- . 
osissima e rara, che potrebbe dar molto lume agli usi, e costumi di que' 
tempi*-— ere the words of the Duke di Cassano. The general title will 
give the best notion of the contents : ' Iw^pU SoUenis ^ vHUstmiu Ubel'

The other titles are uniformly printed in the large lower-case gothic 
type, and the text in the second roman type, of the printer. The work 
is executed in long lines. A full page has 36 lines ; there are neither 
numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. In the whole (according to 
the Duke di C.) there are 181 leaves. But it must be remembered 
that the present impression is only a version of a previous Latin edi- 
tion ; briefly noticed by Ftozer, vol. iv. p. SS2, but fully indicated in 
GiusHmam, pp. 98-9 ; who chastises bibliographers, for the supposed 
date of 1471-2, of the present edition, and for their ignorance of the 
Latin one— »which he thinks is printed by Amoldus de BruxeUa, or 
Blessinger, or Hoensteyn — ^and which he calls * la vera originale edi- 
zione/ The name of Sixtus Blessinger is printed in gothic letters at 
the bottom of the last page but one of this edition, and a page of re- 
gister ensues. The present copy is one of the finest and soundest 
books in the collection to which it belonged. It is in foreign calf 
binding.

observes the Duke, ' this book would be invaluable/ Lord Spencer

politeness and liberality of Mons. Van Praet— who, upon completing 
the copies in the Royal and Ste. Genevieve Libraries, was so obliging

at Naples. Antonio Manand^ in his BihUoteca Pe*rarche»c(h subjraied 
to the second yolnme of his magnificent edition of Petrarch, (p. 310) 
published at Fadtia in 1820, seems to rejoice in .the opportunity of 
giving ' the lovers of bibliographical science, an accurate description 
of a book, which was unknown to all bibliographers, and but superfi- 
cially described by Giustiniani/ His description is from the perfect 
copy in the Royal Library at Naples. Marsand had seen the present 
copy when it was in the possession of the Duke di Cassano, and it is 
pronounced to have been ' disgraziatamente imperfettp.* It remains 
to describe the volume in a very particular manner. There is neither 
preface, prefix, nor title ; but, on the recto of the first leaf, the first 
sonnet runs thus : 

OI chascoltate in rime sparse ilsuono 
Diquei sospiri ondio nutriua il core 
Insulmio primo giouenile errore 
Quadera i pte altruo da quel chisono 

Delnario stil iocbio piango & ragiono 

Fra leuane speranze eluan dolore 

Oue sia chi perproua intenda amore

Dime medesimo meco mi uergogno 

Et delmio uaneg^ar aergogna e ilfructo 

£1 penetersi el conoscer cbiaramente 

Cbe quanto place almondo e breve sogno 

Without marking other deviations, which are mere orthographical 
variations, those in italics — ^in the preceding — ^will, on comparison with 
.the first sonnet, from the Spira edition of 1470, as it i^ipears in the 
Bibl. Spencer, vol. iv. p. 132— clearly show that the present i» noi a 
mere rqmni of the first edition of the poet. This impression has nei« 
tiier numerals, signatures, nor catchwords ; and a full page of the 
sonnets (as fol. S3, rect.) contains 27 lines. On the reverse of the 
151st leaf, the Sonnets terminate. Then follows the account of 
Laura, from the ms. of Petrarch himself, found in a copy of Virgil in 
the Papal Library^-as before given in Bibl. Spencer, vol. iv. p. 134, 



84 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

from the edition of 1479 — but evidently copied from the pmaU 
tion — ^where it appears for the fini imeJ^ This precious memoran- 
dum is followed by the well known verses, beginning ' VaUe locus 
clau8a>' &c. to which is subjoined the imprint, thus :

The Triumphs of Love begin thus— on the recto of the ensuing 
or ISSdleaf:

che fu principio a si Innghi martin 
Gia ilsole althauro luno & altro corno

&c. &c. &c. 

A full page^ as before, has 27 lines. The Triumphs occupy 89 leares : 
and terminate at the lOth line of the necto of the d9th, being the 
192dj from the beginning of the volume inclusively. Then follows a 
biography of Petrarch, for the first time, in the Italian language, 
copied in subsequent impressions. This biography occupies five 
leaves. On the reverse of the 196th and last leaf, the impression 
ends thus : 

Expliciunt triumph! & uite Petrarce.

qnent ones, and is worth finding a place here. ^ Hec etiA sunt nerha In efrfstola quads

» 

The Duke di Cassano was unable to appropriate this volume to any 
particular press. He thought, from the illuminated arms of King 
Ferdinand, at the bottom of the first page of the Sonnets, that it 
might have been the production of the press of Frandtciu de Dmo; 
and his bibliographical friend, the Padre Sterzinger, was rather dis- 
posed to attribute it to Ckrisicpher Amoldui of Venice. It is however 
decidedly in the character of FhHippus de Petro, as exemplified in the 
Atila Flagellum Dei, Italic^, 1477, by that printer* A table of five 
leaves, beginning on the reverse of the first leaf, precedes the text. 
The brief biography of Laura follows the table. On the recto of 
the sixth leaf the Sonnets begin thus : 

01 CHASCOLTA 

te in rime sparse il suono 
Di quei sospiri ondio 
natriua il core 
&c. &c. &c. 

This, on signature ai. A full page, as on sign, a vi«, contains 39 lines. 
The type is large, round, and handsome. The first page of the Son- 
nets is illuminated with the arms above mentioned, supported by 
Cupids. When in a fresh state, this illumination must have been 
very beautiful. Another, more splendid, and almost perfect, illumi- 
nation, appears at the commencement of the Triumphs, on sign, p i, 
recto : but the colour of the whole page, as well indeed as of the ge- 
nerality of the volume, is brown and tarnished. It may be necessary 
however to observe, that the Sonnets end on the reverse of o ij. with 
the following colophon :

The Triumphs immediately follow, on the recto of p. i. On the re*

It remains to notice the order of the signatures — after the table, 
which has none. These signatures extend from a to « in eights i with 
the exceptions of c, n, and o, in sixes ; r in ten ^ (of which one leaf is 
wanting in this copy) and s only with four : but as the fourth leaf is 
marked— -iiii— I suspect that four more leaves (here wanting) should 
follow — which leaves, in all probability, contain the biography of Pe- 
trarch in the Italian language. It nuiy be further remarked — that 
this copy, although tall, has been cruelly cut in the right side mar- 
gin ; as a view of the ancient ms. signatures — ^besides the shape or 
appearance of the volume — evidently proves. Somewhat splendidly 
bound in foreign calf.

the Commentary of Philelphus. The signatures A to K, are in eights : 
"L, "Ml, in sixes : N, O, in tens. The colophon, with the printer's 
device, is on the recto of the last leaf. This is a sound and desirable 
copy : in old red morocco binding.

First impression of the Commentary of Fhilelphus> and considered 
to be the fibst book pbintbd at Parica. Panzer, yoI. ii. p. 350, is 
copious and instructive in his references. The type is neat and deli- 
cate, and i^parently formed upon the model of Jenson'sj but it 
wants roundness and greater skilfiilness of execution. The impres- 
sion begins with a prefix of 13 lines, beneath which are 15 lines. A 
fbll page has 28 lines. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor 
catchwords. On the reverse of the 122d leaf (and not 240, as Panzer 
erroneously states it) is the following colophon : 

Quae condam totum lector quesita p orbem :

It is not only clear, from the error in the numbering of the leaves, 
but from the manner in which the colophon is copied, that Panzer had 
never seen this very rare book ; however, his references may be useful 
in pursuing. The present is a slightly discoloured, but upon the whole, 
a sound and desirable copy. In recent dark green morocco binding. 

130. Petrarca. Huomini Famosi. Printed by 
Felix 8f Ziletw. Verona 1476. Folio. 

Panzer, vol. ii. p. 388, is copious in his reference respecting this 
edition 3 but De Bure, vol. vi. p. 438, almost supplies the place of any 
other consultation. The chief remark, made by him, is, that the orna- 
mental frame work at the beginning of each life — and the centre of 
which is blank-— was probably intended as a border to receive the par^

trait of each illustrious indiyiduid^ discoursed of. De Bure once saw 
a copy where these portraits were introduced by the pencil of the illu- 
ttinator— but moitions nothing about these portraits being prisUed. 
As no copy has been found with them, as coming from the press, we 
may conclude that none such exists. In other respects, De Bure pro- 
nounces this to be ' Edition fort rare, et tr^ consider^ des Curieux.' 
The designation of the place where, and of the persons by whom, 
printed, helps to add to its curiosity. 

If De Bure*s description be quite correct, the present copy is imper- 
fect at its commencement ; but if it be only ambiguous, the present 
copy is complete. He says that ' four separate leaves, containing a 
particular table should be found at the beginning of the volume ; and 
that this table is accompanied with a summary extract written in Ita- 
lian verse, in praise of di£ferent great men,' &c. But here are four 
leaves, which precede the text, of which three contain the verses in 
question, and the foUrth the table and imprint. — as noticed by De 
Bure. It should follow, therefore, that the table and imprint form 
one leaf, and the Italian |>anegyrics three : and as no other leaves are 
specified by De Bure, as preceding the text, I take this copy — ^from the 
foregoing statement— to be quite perfect. The imprint, which is cor- 
rectly given by De Bure — is as follows :

I presume the latter part of the imprint to mean, that the work was 
printed at the villa called PolUano, four miles from Verona. After the 
four leaves, just specified, the first book of the text begins, with a pre- 
fix of five lines in capital letters. There are no signatures, till the 
19th leaf of the text, when we observe c : c. The signatures are, 
many of them, so irregularly placed, that it will be safer to say that 
the text contains 235 leaves : on the reverse of the last of which we 
read at bottom :

This is a translation from the Latin of Petrarch. A table occupies the 
first two leaves. Then, on a i, the text. The first two signatures are 
in eights : the rest to r, in sixes : r has seven printed, and one blank 
leaf. Beneath the date of the completion of the ms. (as it should 
seem) in 1478, is the printer's colophon, thus :

TVM . lACOBVM . DE . RIPOLI . ANNO DOMI

The spaces for the initial capitals are notified by small letters, to 
be filled up by ornamental capitals. Upon the whole, a sound and de- 
sirable copy 'in russia binding. 

132. Phalaridis Epistol^. Lat. Printed hy

I consider this to be the iecond edition of Phalaris printed by Ries- 
singer 5 and that the edition, in the smaller character-— of which a 
fiic-simile appears in the Bihl. Spencer, vol. ii. 234— is the first. Why 
the Duke di Cassano, in his ms. catalogue, designates this impression 
as of the year 1470 or 1471, does not appear very obvious. All that 
can be said with certainty is, that, this book was at least printed in 
1473 ; for there is a coeval ms. inscription, at the end of the colophon, 
purporting the present copy to have been ' «eeii and noted by one Gae- 
par, an the XVlJth day of October m the year 1473, while Ferdinand of 
Arragon was the reignmg Prince,* Nor does it appear more obvious, why 
the Duke di Cassano should caU the types of this edition ' semi-go- 
thic"— whUe Giustiniani, p. 39, (referring to the very copy in ques- 
tion) calls them '^ round.** I do not know that any inferences can be 
drawn from the use of the{larger gothic character with which this im- 
pression begins, and ends— as thus — ^for the beginning :

mention of this very copy^ upon vbllum^ by Brunet> in his Man. du 
Libraire, vol. ii. p. 511 — yet it has been noticed by Audiffredi, 
Fossil Panzer^ vol. i. p. 414> no. 93^ *— and by each with sufficient 
minuteness. On the recto of a i we read the prefix — denoting the 
proheme of Bartholomsus Phontius ; and by the ensuing proheme, 
it seems that this Italian version is taken from the Latin translation 
of Franciscus Aretin. The signatures, a to g, run in eights. On the

gothic. On the reverse of the 86th leaf, the Vlth Book terminates. 
The recto of the 87th is blank, and on the reverse the XVUth Book

I apprehend the present to be the rarest edition of the Epistles of 
the Younger Pliny, put forth in the xvth century. The Duke di Cas- 
sano, whose account is sufficiently brief, very properly refers to Au« 
diffredi, EdU. Rom. p. 164-5 ; and Audiiffredi as properly assigns^the 
printing to the press of Schurener de Bcpardia. His account is rather 
curious. He says, he saw four copies of this impression ; of , which 
three had only the following lines as the colophon — and which indeed 
only appertain to the present copy.

" However this may be>" observes Audiffredi, " it is evident^ from 
the above inscription^ that the book was extant in 1474> and was 
printed in the house SoucHm de Fireto, That bibliographer then goes 
on with his reasons for attributing the volume to the press of Schu- 
rener de Bopardia — which need not be here repeated— as the point is 
incontrovertible. It is also equally incontrovertible that the present 
IB the second edition of the Epistles of the Younger Pliny. 

This impression may be briefly described. It is entirely destitute 
of numerals, signatures, and catchwords } a full page containing from 
2S to 31 lines. In the whole, 141 leaves : the colophon as first above 
given, being on the reverse of the last leaf, beneath the ^d line. 
Hie present copy, with some few exceptions, is sound and desirable. 
Becently bound in olive-coloured morocco.

'^The first edition of this work with a date (soys the Duke di Cas-

The present hiqppena fortunately to be a very fine copy of the work. 
The translator is Franciscus Fhilelphnsj whose address to Philip 
Maria Anglus commences on the recto of the first leaf. The text 
commences on the reverse of the second. A full page has 32 lines. 
There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. There- 
verse of the 50th leaf is blank. On the reverse of the 76th and last 
leaf, is the colophon, thus : 

M. CCCC. LXXI. 
Impressum formis iustoq ; nitore coruscans 
Hoc Vindelinus condidit artis opus. 

The present copy has been recently bound in red morocco. 

141. Plutarchi Apophthegmata. Lat. With- 
out Name of Printer, Place, or Date. Quarto. 

This edition is printed in the same type as the Abbtin, noticed at 
page 14, ante — • and of course as the other works there specifically 
mentioned. It is probably among the rarest of the works printed in 
this hitherto unappropriated character. Denis, to whom Panzer 
refers, relies exclusively upon the copy in the Pinelli collection. The 
prefatory address of Franciscus Philelphus, the translator, occupies the 
first two leaves, and a portion of the 6th page. Philelphus concludes 
this address by telling Philippus Maria Anglus [Visconti] Duke of 
Milan, to whom it is written, that, '^ if he is gratified by these Apoph* 
thegms, they shall befoUowedup by some others ;" butthe Duke^dying 
in 1447j and Nicolas V. mounting the Ptaipal chair the same year, 
Philelphus dedicated the remainder of the Apophthegms, of which the 
latter half of this volume may be said to be composed, to that PontiiF-— 
and barely notices, at the conclusion of his address, the fiict of having 
dedicated the previous portion to Philip Maria. 

The present volume may be therefore said to be divided into two 
parts : the first, concluding on the reverse of the 51st leaf, has the fol- 
lowing colophon : 

FINIS. 

Reddita tot latio fontis monumenta pelasgi 
Paruum opus exupat : cacusa philelfe^tua est. 

Credebat remeans domiDum mutasse libellus : 
Ni titulo ueteris constituisset heri. 



THE CASS ANO LIBRARY. 96 

On the following leaf commences the translator's address to Pope 
Nicholas V. : which^ considering that that Pontiff had but just com- 
menced his papal career, is sufficiently laudatory. He tells him that 
** all good men, from all parts, approach him : every one distinguished 
for understanding, for eloquence, or any elegant accomplishment, 
Qock to him." This address occupies three pages and a half : and is 
followed by 

Plutarchi Apophthegmata Laconica. 

These latter terminate on the reyerse of the 50th leaf, from the first 
leaf, inclusiyely, containing the commencement of the address to the 
Pope. At the bottom, we read : 

Plutarchi Apophthegmata laconicoqs liber finit. 

The first part of this copy has been written upon and washed, but 
not in a very formidable manner. It is otherwise sound and desir- 
able. Recently bound in yellow morocco. 

142. Plutarchi YiTiG. ItaL Printed at Aquila, 
by Adam de Rotmlle. 1482. Folio. 

Although the present be rather a soiled copy, this is an elegantly 
printed book, in the roman letter ^- and is the only one, in the same 
letter, by the same printer, which I remember to have seen. The 
signature a i is blank. On aS we learn that the name of the transla- 
tor is Alessandro Jaconello de Riete. On a 3, recto, the Life of 
Theseus begins. There are two sets of signatures : the first wholly in 
tens : the second, to I, in tens : I, K, L, being in eights. On the 
recto of L yj, is the following colophon — ^in 14 lines : '' Enisce la

143. PoGGii Facetije. Printed in the Monas- 
tery cf St. Etisebius. Rome. Quarto. 

• 

The present is a miserably shom^ scribbled^ and imperfect copy of 
this very rare edition 5 of which I have described a copy in vol. iii. 
p. 511> of my Bibliographical Tour, as being in the Imperial Library at 
Vienna. That copy is^ as this ought to be, a folio. The Duke di 
Cassano supposes the impression to have been executed by Lover — 
but the types are precisely those which were used in the monastery of 
St. Eusebius at Rome — as a glance upon the fac-simile at toI. i. p. I96g 
of the BibL Spencer, may serve to prove. The 5th leaf of this copy is 
supplied by Ms. On the recto of the last leaf^ we read the colophon> 
thus: 

Poggii florentini secretarii 
apostolici facetiarum liber 
absolutus est feliciter : : • 

In foreign red morocco binding. 

144. Poggii Liber Facetiarum. (Printed by 
Koburger.) Without Date. Folio. 

The Duke di Cassano had erroneously imagined this impression to 
have been executed by Creussner, whereas it is evidently in the type of 
Koberger ; as may be seen on a comparison with the books unques- 
tionably issuing from the press of the latter printer : witness^ Hono- 
rku de Imagine Mundi, as described in the Bibl. Spencer, vol. iii. 382. 
There u an edition of this same work^ by Creussner^ which is de« 
scribed in the fourth volume^ at p. 283. The present impression 
consists of 45 leaves, having 33 lines in a full page, without nume- 
rals, signatures, or catchwords. It commences with a prefix of two 
lines on the recto of the first leaf, and ends at the 7 th line^ on the 
recto of the last leaf. In russia binding. 

145. PoGGio, Jacopo. Comment, sop. Tri- 
OMPH. DEL Fama DI Petrarcha. Without 
Name of Printer^ Place, or Date. Quarto. 

I apprehend this impression to be much earlier than the one 
printed by F. Bonaccorsi at Florence in 1485, and described in the 
Bibl. Spencer, vol. iv. p. 144. That it is very much scarcer, is indis- 



THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 97 

putable ', since Denis^ vol. ii. p. 7S0> no. 6311 is the only aatliorityj, 
noticed by Panzer^ in support of its existence. It is there briefly but 
not correctly described. The Duke di Cassano calls it '' an edition 
unknown to bibliographers.** The prefatory address of Poggio^ to 
Piero di Cosimo de Medici^ occupies the first two pages. It is term!* 
nated> on the 3d page, by some verses^ beginning 

. El cor pieD damarissima doloeza 
n Risonauano ancor gli ultimi accent! 
Del ragionar che sol brama cappreza. 

&c. Sec. 

The commentary follows — on the reverse of the second leaf. A full 
page has 38 lines — without numerals, signatures, or catchwords. In 
the whole, 63 leaves. The impression terminates with a register^ 
below the text, on the recto, of the 63d and last leaf. The reverse is 
blank. Upon the whole, a sound and desirable copy ; in Venetian 
morocco binding. 

146. Pallavicini (Baptista) Carmen in Histch 
fiam flenduB Crucis Domini nostri Jem ChristL 
Printed in a Carthusian Monastery at Parma. 
1477. Quarto. 

This is doubtless one of the rarest little metrical tracts of the xvth 
century. It has been rather inaccurately described by Maittaire, and 
does not appear to have been ever seen by Panzer : which latter bib- 
liographer, however, corrects the former in supposing it to have been 
printed ' per ^ugtuHnum Genoefuem : whereas, from the construction 
of the colophon, (as the reader will presently see) it should seem 
that Augustinus of Genoa was only tiie Head of the Monastery in 
which the tract was printed. It consists of 18 leaves, without nume- 
rals, signatures, or catchwords. A full page has 24 lines. The 
prefix is thus ; beneath the words Iesvs Christvs ! '* Baptista fnarchi" 
cms palauicmi Episcopi regiensis Prohgus in Historiam FlendUe Crvcis et 
Funeris domim nostn JESV CHRISTI Ad Evgeniu. Quartu Ronumae 
Eccletiae BeaHssimu Maxmiumqi Pontificem.* The^prologue is metrical, 
consisting of only 19 verses. The history immediately foUows^ thiis: 



98 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

Ilius omnipotes n§turi prescius eui 

Omnia dinumeras quom ia copleta dedis8&. 

On the reverse of the 13th leaf, our Saviour's expiration upon the 
cross is thus described : 

CoDsHmatum ait est quic^d fiiit ante necesse. 
Atq; iterum exclamans magna cu uoce precatur 
Suscipe care pater : tibi qua puer unions efflat 
Comendat* animam ! tattL hoc . neq; piuralocuto 
Languida coUa cadunt; tenuesq; recessit in auras 
Spiritus : atq ; crucem moribundaq; mebra relict. 

The poem ends at the second line of the recto of the following leaf 
but one. Then follows, by the same author, a Latin metrical version 
" ex Maria uirgine bella Vulgari cantilena Leonardi iustiniani— *' suc- 
ceeded by the original Italian ballad of L. Justinianus. 

These two metrical pieces occupy 4 pages and a half : and are 
followed by some hexameter and pentameter verses, which conclude 
the tract on the reverse of the next ensuing page. The colophon, 
beneath the word EXPLICIT, ia thus : 

Imprescere ^ fratres opus hoc cartusie parme : 
Quibus Augustinus genue tunc prefuit ortus. 
M. CCCC. LXXVIL DECEMBRIS. 

This copy is sound and &ir, but has been very much cropt. Recently 
bound in blue morocco. 

147. PoNTANus. De Aspiratione. (Printed 
by Moravus.) NapUi. \4A\. 

** In this beautiful edition (says the Duke di Cassano) Moravus 
gave the first specimen of his Greek character." It must be admitted 
that this character is not only sparingly introduced, but of rather a 
clumsy form — and much inferior to what was used at Venice by 
Jenson, and Vinddin de Spira. It partakes, indeed, of the Venetian

character. In the whole> 50 leaves— without numerals, signatures, 
or catchwords. On the reverse of the last leaf, at bottom : 

Impressu Neapoli Anno . M.CCCC. LXXXI.

A very indifferent copy ; having the margins charged with ms. anno- 
tations. Recently bound in russia. 

148. PoNTANUs De Fortitudinb. Printed by 
Mortwus. Naples. 1490. Quarto. 

The Duke di Cassano expatiates, with a sort of rapture, upon this 
volume, and upon its companion— presently to be noticed. He calls 
them '' magnificent — *' remarking upon the ** beauty of the pi4per, 
the splendour of the type, and the perfection of the printing.'* They 
are doubtless two elegant little Tracts j but the epithet ' magnificent,' 
belongs, with much more propriety, to the same printer's edition of 
the ** Bioral Works of Seneca," printed fifteen years before — whidi 
book must be considered both the master-piece of Moravus and of the 
early Nei^litan press. The Duke has also given a very minute and 
elaborate description of the arrangement of the letter press ; much 
more so than either tiie value or rarity of the work demanded. It 
commences with a prefiettory address of the printer, subjoined below,* 
followed by a list of errataf— which is among the earliest notified 
errata in the annals of the press. The errors are four in number 
only, among which is the extraordinary one '' H&c. " for '' hsc " 
'^ — Rdiqua (adds the printer) accuratissime impressa leges. " 

On the recto of the following leaf, a i. i, the text of the work begins, 
and extends to k yj, in eights : k having only six printed leaves, fol- 
lowed by a blank leaf. A full page hsA 25 lines. The principal title 
of the book tells us that the work treats of '* Warlike and Heroic Far^ 
titude/* and that it is dedicated to AJforuo Duke of Calabria. On the 

•Emptor si quid habet niti hie libellns

t The Errata of Antonius Randenns, to the Lactantiiu, 1465, is, I beliere, the first 
instance. 



100 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

reverse of k vj is the colophon, in eleven lines of capital letters — 
from which we learn that the book was printed on the 15th of Sep- 
tember, 1490. A blank leaf follows. Then, on 1 i, recto, is the 
same author's work, dedicated to the same character, entitled ' De 
Principe ' which extends to m xj — 1 having only S leaves ; and a 
blank leaf forming m xij. The colophon, without date, is in 6 lines 
of capital letters. This is a fair, sound copy, but not without soil 
and ms. annotations, in the latter treatise. It is rather elegantly bound 
in speckled calf with gilt leaves. 

149. PONTANI DiALOGUS QUI ChAROX INSCRI" 

BiTUR. Printed by Mortwus. Naples. 1491. 

Quarto. 

This volume is executed in the same style of typographical ele- 
gance as the preceding ; and the signatures extend from a to n in 
eights ', a i being blank — and n having ten leaves, including a blank 
leaf, which follows the colophon : the colophon, in 8 lines of capital 
letters, being on the recto of n ix. The book is purported to have 
been printed on the last day of January, 1491. On a slight inspec- 
tion of the contents, they appear to be both amusing and instructiTe, 
having several elegant specimens of poetry interspersed. The present 
is a sound large coyay, recently bound in speckled calf with gilt 
leaves. 

150. PoNTANi Opeka. Printed by Tresser and 
Martinus. Naples. 1498. Quarto. 

At first sight, this roman type may be said to resemble some of the 
pieces of the same author printed by Moravus } but a closer exami- 
nation shews that the press work is not only less skilfully executed, 
but that the letter is not so elegant. The title of the first piece, De 
lAberaUtatej is on the reverse of the first leaf. Onaai the Pft>logue 
commences. This first piece ends on the reverse of f viij, in eights. 
The second piece, De Ben^icentia follows on g i, and ends on the re- 
verse of h V, in eights : On the recto of the following leaf is the third 
title, De Magnificentia ; which ends on the reverse of m ii, in eights- 
one set of signatures running throughout the whole book. On m iii, 
^xnumences the third tract De SpUndore, which concludes the volume 
on the recto of o viij, in eights. The colophon is thus : 



THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 101

A list of errata is on the reverse. This copy is bound in dark red mo- 
rocco. 

151. PORCIUS HiERONIMUS. CoMMENTARIUS, 

&c. Printed by Eueharius SUber. Rome. 
1493. Octavo. 

This is the most elegantly printed Yolmne, which I remember to 
have examined^ from the press of Eueharius Silber ; and the contents^ 
to an historical Antiquary, are not a little interesting : for, they lelatQ 
to the circumstances attending the election and elevation of Alexander 
VI. to the Papal chair : with the abridged .orations of the Ambassa- 
dors of foreign states which were made upon the subject. But, as 
Audiffiredi justly remarks, those orations which were made by the 
representatives of France, .England, Portugal, &c. are not subjoined^ 
so that the present volume may be considered as only the Jknt part of 
the meditated performance of the author. In the 8th page of his 
Commentary— dedicated to Ferdinand and Isabella ^^ or on the recto 
ofihe 16th leaf from the beginning of the text,— the author thusalludes 
to coMiher work, of which he does not however mention the publica- 
tion : — '' de eius ftmiliae [sc. Roderici Borgin] ante continuata pro- 
logatione ad hasc usque tempora, quod est mirabile dictu, meu9 de 
getUUtum nuptiarum riiu UbeUus et antentica documenta uetustissima 
tamen te facHius edocebunt," &c. 

It remains to describe the volume bibliQgrq>hically. A prefix of 
13 lines and a half, in capital letters — in which the author styles him- 
self PatriHuM Romanus Rota Prtmarius Auditor ' — is followed by four 
lines of text, on the recto of the first leaf. The text presents but a 
small page to the reader ; being only 3 inches and three quarters in 
length, by two inches and a quarter in width. The margin is ample 
and handsome. An address to Alexander VI. begins, on the recto of 
the 5th leaf, in the following complaisant manner : ^' Donarem Alex- 
ander Pontifex maxime tusB Sanctitati pateras : donarem tripodas : et 
dukia munera : Sed non hsec mihi uis non illi talium res est." The 
reverse of the 7th leaf is blank. On the recto of the 8th begins the 
preface of the Commentary, addressed to Ferdinand and Isabella : 
and on the reverse of the 12th leaf begins the Commentary itself. 



IQS THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. On the 
recto of the 118th and last leaf, beneath 4 hexameter and pentameter 
▼erses, is the colophon, thus : ' Impressum Roma p [er] Euchariu SUber

152. Processus & Inquisitio &c. qui cokt. 
Ferd. Reg. Conspir. Printed at Naples. 
1488. Folio. 

1 consider this to be one of the most curious and intrinsically valu- 
able books in the Cassano Collbotion. Ftozer, in his accovnt of it, 
relies exclusively upon Maittaire, vol. i. 604-6, where it seems to be 
incorrectly described, as containing, in part, a French text, of the 
date of 1487, and a Latin text of the above date. It is also described 
as a quarto. Now, the text is almost entirely in the Italian language, 
with short introductory pieces in the Latin tongue ; of which the first 
three pages exhibit the longest specimens. The names of the con« 
spirators, chiefly Neapolitan Princes and Noblemen, are set forth, on 
the second page. As a fevourable specimen of the Duke di Cassano's 
style and manner of treating a rare book, I subjoin that noble bibli« 
ographer's account of tiie present — which is sufficiently exact and 
particular.

The preservation of the two original documents, above referred to, 
renders this copy doubly curious and estimable. This book has been 
recently bound in russia. 

153. Proliani Cristiani. De totius orbis 
GENERALi DiYisioNE. (Henrtcus Aldyng.) No- 
pies. 1477. Quarto. 

This copy is imperfect ; wanting. five leaves at the beginning, and 
seven at the end 5 but it was procured by the Duke di Cassano as 
being a very rare tract, printed by Aldyng, whose name, according 
to Giustiniani, appears at the end of the 7th leaf of the table— want* 
ing in this copy. At the end of the text, previously to the table, the 
colophon runs thus : Finis huius opusculi Parthenope impssum : anno 
salutis 1477 octaua kalendas septebrias. Only 2 leaves of table here 
follow. 

154. PsALTERiuM. Printed at Naples. 1477. 
Quarto. 

The Duke di Cassano calls this a very rare edition. Panzer, vol. 
ii. p. 159, no. 37, refers only to Maittaire, p. 385 } the latter of whom 
does not intimate it to have been printed by Moravus — - although the 
Duke does, in his printed Catalogue. The type is in the larger and 
rounder of the two roman founts used by Moravus. Hie impression 
contains hymns, antiphones, &c. and begins with " Ad nocturnum 
Ymnus." On the recto of the ensuing and second leaf, the first 
Psalm of David begins. The book is entirely destitute of numerals, 
signatures, and catchwords. This copy contains 119 leaves, but I

sospect tlijat a leaf -is wanting after folio 111. The colophon, in 14 
llaeB, followed by Finit Feliciter, in capitals, concludes the impression. 
The name of Moravus does not 9.ppear in it. 

155. Ptolem^us. Lat. Printed by I. Reger, 
at Ulm. I486- Folio. 

A mere reprint of Leonard Hoi's edition, published in the same 
dty. The decorative initials are precisely the same ; witness, the 
letter of which a fac-simile is given in the Bibl, Spencer, vol. ii. page 
301 — ^with other specimens of the like nature. The contents are also 
similar. The name and device of the printer— the latter, a stork, 
with a sort of trefoil ornament in his mouth, having, on one side, the 
letter I — and on the other R — is on the reverse of the last leaf. In 
recent brown calf binding.

156. PTOLEMiEus. Printed at Home, by P. De 
Turre. 1490. Folio. 

Audiffredi rightly designates this volume as printed '' in a most ele- 
gant roman type ; " but he is wrong in observing that the maps are the 
same as those in the edition of Buckinck of 147S— -unless indeed the 
four copies of it, which he saw, had those maps inserted : whereas, in 
the copy before me, these maps are from toooden blocks, and those in 
Buckinck*s edition are upon copper. Moreover, these maps are pre- 
cisely the same as those of the Ulm editions of 1489 and 1486. The 
very type upon the rectos are similar, with the omissions of the ara- 
besque borders. This observation is worth making, as Audiffredi, in 
censuring Laire, tells us that '' any boy might have discovered the 
maps of the two Roman editions to be the same.*' Not that that bib- 
liographer could have been mistaken, but that the copy, under des- 
cription, has not the maps which are in the Boman edition referred to 
Audiffredi properly observes, that the present impression is more 
copious than that previously printed at Rome. 

It remains to describe the book. A table of chapters is on the recto 
of a S : a i being blank. The first set of signatures runs to h, in 
eights, with the exception of a, which has nine leaves : h has four 
leaves, including a blank leaf, here preserved ^ and exhibiting a beau- 
tiful specimen of the manufacture of the paper. Another blank leaf 
(A i) follows. This second set of signatures extends to £ in eights : 
D 3 being repeated for D 4. £ has six leaves, including a blank leaf. 



106 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

Then follow thirty-two folded ms^s^— as above described. Yet' Audif- 
fredi calls them twenty-seven maps ! A third set of signatures ensues ; 
having on the reverse of a i a table to the Tract '' de lods et mirabi- 
libus Mundi— ." and that tract beginning on the recto of a 2 ; and con- 
cluding on the recto of c v^ in eights. The colophon is thus — in 
capital letters :

Upon the whole^ a desirable copy j in russia binding. 

157. PuLci Pistole in rima. Without Name 
of Printer, Place, or Date, Quarto. 

This impression does not appear to be noticed in the list of Luigi 
Fulci's works in Panzer's index : nor can I find any account of it in 
the ms. catalogue of the Duke di Cassano. It appears to be a collec- 
tion of heroic epistles^ after the manner of Ovid, translated into Ita- 
lian verse : beginning with ^' Lucreciaa Lauro £pistola prima" — as hr 
as the unfortunatdy wormed condition of the first two leaves of the 
present copy enables me to make it out. In other respects, this copy 
is large and clean. The second epistle is from larba King of Africa 
to Dido Queen of Carthage : beginning thus : 

Arba tipriegha o Dido di Cartbagine 
cbe pel tepio a Iudod faccia dispingere 
del Re Sicbeo lauiolata ymagine 
Poi cbe tu sai si simulare & fingere 
con false scuse ilcener dello sposo

&c. Sign, a Hi. rev. 



THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 107 

The sigiiatures extend to e, in eights } a i being blank ; e has six 
leaves. On the reverse of e vj (this leaf being not quite so much 
wormed as the earlier leaves) all that we read— >£rom an epistle (" xviii. 
& nldma ") of Cleopatra to Augustus Caesar, — ^is as follows : 

Di Cleopatra lafrigida lastra 

chiude qui il corpo Cesare remunera 
come fortu ... a Thebe Geo castra 

Sancise adere a Marco Antonio funera 

AMEN. 

From the appearance of the type, I should consider this volume to 
have been printed at Venice or Parma. This copy has been recently 
bound in yellow morocco. 

158. Regiment dels Princeps. Printed at 
Barcelona, by John Luschner, a German. 1498. 
FoUo. 

An indifferent copy of a magnificently printed book. The title, in 
five lines> is thus : '' Epixtola de frate Eqidi di Roma al Reyde Eranza 
sobre lo Ubre del regmJet deli Priceps,^* This is in large lower case 
gothic letters. The Epistle follows on the recto of the second leaf^ 
surrounded by rather a handsome arabesque border. The impression 
is printed in gothic letters, in double columns, upon signatures-*— a to 
y, % in eights : z having only four leaves. The colophon is in 26 
lines— of which I copy the last 10 lines : " Impssa en la insigna duitat 
de Barcelona p[er] lohan lusckner alemany empreptador, A degpeees del 
honorable Branch Ferber mercador AlUmany, Emendat e corregit per lo

ferent copy 5 recently bound in calf.

book ; but this copy is fiir from beiog desirable. A Prologue to the 
King of Naples occupies the reverse of the first leaf. The first signa- 
ture has ten leaves : the rest> including n, has only 4. On the reverse 
of n V, is the colophon : Nel milk quaitro cento settanta sei . adi uUimo d» 
ieptetnbrio . flnu. A table occupies the recto of the following and last 
leaf. See Panzer^ vol. iv. p. 15, no. 8i8^ who refers to the Bib. du Roy 
at Paris^ and Crevenna. ^Recently bound in calf. 

160. Sagundinus (Nicolaus) de Epistolari 
DicENDi Genere. Witkout Date. Quarto. 

I differ wholly from the Duke di Cassano, who attributes this tracts 
to the press of A. de Bruxella, from the general resemblance of the 
initial letters^ and from the particular resemblance of the characters 
to those of an edition of the Epistles of Datus^ of the date of 1472^ in 
the library of St. Martin^ at Palermo. The Duke procured a fee- 
simile of this latter edition^ which^ although it appears not to be par- 
ticularly faithful^ is^ in the formation of the capital A, alone^ sufficient 
to warrant a different conclusion from his own. At the same time I 
am at a loss to whom to attribute this rare tract. There is a geaeral 
resemblance to the larger type of I. P. de Lignamine^ but the letters^ 
though large, are too closely put together. In the whole^ 11 leaver*

The present is certainly a very rare and curious little folio taact 
The Duke di Cassano mentions the notice of an Italian vision of it, 
by Brunet, vol. iii. 187, who assigns the same year to it, on the xviith 
of June. As the present impression has only the dominical date, we 
are uncertain which has the priority. The work itself appears to 
have been concealed by the Jews for more than 230 years j and was 
translated into Latin in 1239 : " from thence diligently amended by 
lohn Schallus, a Doctor of Arts, and printed by him at Mantua in 
1476.** This is the chief purport of t^e colophon, which is on the 
recto of the 20th and last leaf— occupying 16 lines. 

The work was written with the view of converting the Jews—

to Rabbi Isaac a master in the Synagogue in Submbneta (qu ?) in the

Brother Alfonso — in which he says *' Ego vero in transferendo ipsum

NONE. Printed by Piero Bergamescho, at

The early Italian versions of the Tragedies of Seneca have escaped 
Panzer. The present is executed *' in terza rima.*' A Latin metrical 
address of Fhilippus Cavatina to the reader, is below the title. On 
the reverse is an Italian metrical address of Evangelista Fossa to 
Nicolas Lugaro his tutor. The text, composed by Fossa, follows on 
the ensuing leaf a ii. The signatures a, b, are in fours ; and c in six. 
On the reverse of c iiij, the play ends, and some Latin sapphics, by 
Fossa, begin thus :

Dura : que tristis lacbrimse sequul 
Se michi pstat comites : queut nee

Another set of Sapphics, by the same hand, to Fhillipus Cavatina, 
follows. Then some hexameters ; to which the colophon is thus sub- 
joined — and of which the latter part is rather curious. ^' Hnisse la nona

Every page of this rare little tract has been inlaid ; and I belieye 
the present is the only specimen of the printer in his Lordship's li-

letters, precedes the text : of which, a full page contains 94 lines. 
Each of these seven penitential Psalms is preceded by the title, in 
capital letters j but one leaf is unfortunately wanting, containing the

168. Statuta Antiqua Urbis [RoM-as]. Prin- 
ted by Ulric Han. Without Date. Folio, 

According to the Duke di Cassano's ms. catalogue^ this book was 
published at Rome about the year 1470. AudifFredi places it in 
1471 i although no colophon is given by him. The date of the Bull^ 
" contra simieutes vindictam, " at the end of the volume — ^here sup- 
plied by ms^ «~ is 1466 . x Kal . Oct : and I have little doubt of the 
printing of the book within a year afterwards ; for the object in the 
compilation of these statutes^ was^ as the first prefatory page testifies^ 
'' ut scandala ex Vrbe remoueantur^ lites sedentur, et dubia que na- 
ture humana quotidie nova suscitat : declaretur.** And it is not 
likely^ for the accomplishing of such an object^ that four years should 
elapse between the compilation and promulgation of the Statutes in 
question. If this be so^ it is just possible that the present may be 
the earliest book from the press of Ulric Han^ in the character in 
which it was printed. 

Seven leaves of a Table of Contents precede the text of the first 
book : which book contains 37 leaves. Then 4 leaves of a table to 
the second book : the second book ending on the recto of the forty- 
ninth leafj exclusively of the table. Four leaves of a table follow^ to 
the third book ; which latter concludes on the reverse of the 35th leaf. 
Then a blank leaf, in the present copy. Next, two leaves, of '' Sup- 
plicationes ; '* and four pages of '' Servatio Statutorum. '* Eighteen 
enstung leaves, of misceUaneons matter, (including a ms. leaf at the 
conclusion) close the volume ; so that the 4th book, from the blank leaf 
above mentioned, contains 22 leaves. But according to Audiffredi 
{Edit. Ram. p. 70) there should be 7 leaves of ** Ordinations relating 
to marriages and funerals'*-* and printed in the Italian language-— 
which make the volume perfect. These latter are wanting here. The 
Duke di Cassano says that *' this copy was the same, and the only one 
seen by Audiffredi ;'* but that bibliographer notices one in the archives 
belonging to the library of the Capitol. The Duke's copy had be- 
longed to the family of Gaetano. 

Although no name of printer be subjoined, there can be no ques- 
tion of this book's having been printed by Ulric Han, in his larger cha- 
racter. In the present copy the types have a sharp and fresh ap- 
pearance as if recently cut. There are of course neither signatures, 
numerals, nor catchwords. In russia binding.

169. SUBSCRIPTIONES ET SuPRASCRIPTIOKES 

LiTERARUM MissivARUM. Without Name qf 
Printer^ Place, or Date. Quarto. 

This fugitive little piece (if it may be so called) of six leaves^ is 
doubtless the production of l/Zrtc Hans press ; and, for aught I know 
to the contrary^ may be among the very earliest specimens of that 
printer's first larger romai» type^ intermixed vrith his large gothic 
capital letters. The title, on the recto of the first leaf, is thus : 

Sequuntur principia subscriptiones & supra scrip 
tiones Irarum missiuarum ad ones personas cuiuscilq ; 
status gradus conditionis aut preeminentie fuerint. 

This is one of the many productions of the kind circulated, I appre- 
hend, for the instruction of youth. A full page has SO lines. The 
printing is occasionally not only very carelessly, but incorrectly ex- 
ecuted. A sound copy. In russia binding. 

170. SURRHENTIKUS (CaROLUs) . BE MoDO 

AUGENDi Oratiokem. (Printed at Naples. 
Without Date.) Quarto. 

From the prefatory address of Franciscus Tuppo to B. G. Ame- 
rinus, this volume appears to have been printed at Ns^les by the 
former; but why the Duke di Cassano should suppose the types, 
used by Tuppo in this book, to be those of Ribssinger, is to me unac- 
countable : since I am not acquainted with any specimen of the print- 
ing of Riessinger which resembles them either in size or elegance of 
form. The address of the author to a young man, of the name of 
Antonio Caraffa, follows on the recto of the 3d leaf — ^preceded by a 
poetical address to the same young manF-4n which the work is styled 
* de modo augendi oratiofiem per nngula verba a Cicerme extracta ad eoi 
tpectaie que epl'as uipwre et aiaoUUe aUqd dicer uolunt, ' &c. This copy 
is imperfect — wanting the Sd, 8th, and lOth leaves. To be perfect, 
it should have 56 leaves. A register is on the reverse of the last. 
Bound in calf.

171. Tancredi & SioisMUNDi Amores. Prjn- 
ted by Schoeffher. Without Date. Quarto. 

ThiB is a Latin version by L. Arcttin from the Italian of Boccaccio. 
A prefatory epistle of the Translator to S. Rutasolanus^* dated 14d6> 
precedes the text. On the reverse of the first leaf is a blank impres- 
sion of the device of Fust and Schoeffher : at the end of the text^ there 
is the same device in red. The type is of the third and largest form 
used by the above printers — ^precisely similar to that seen in the 
Bible of 147S. The page is very narrow, and contains only 20 lines. 
There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. I consider 
this tract, seen byme for the first time, to be among the very scarcest 
firom the press of the printer. There are only 12 leaves. The paper 
18 of the usually excellent consistency and tone of colour — observ- 
able in the publications from the early Mentz press. This copy is 
sound and fair ; but it has been cut to an octavo form. Recently 
bound in purple morocco. ^ 

172. Thebaldeo da Ferrara. Opere. Withr 
cut Date or Pktce, S^c. Quarto. 

There is some little difficulty in appropriating this edition. Panzer^ 
on the authority of Audiffredi, Edit, Ital, p. 204-6, assigns the im- 
pression to the Bresda press ; and Lord Spencer thinks, that, if it 
be printed there, it must be of a later period than that of the Lucre- 
tius, Juvenal, Ceccho d'Ascoli, &c. as it has signatures. This is 
doubtless true } and, from the appearance of the large lower case 
gothic type, forming the title, I should suppose the period of its execu- 
tion to be not earlier than 1480. Yet Audiffredi, after noticing the 
very slight and imperfect mention of this edition by Haym, Debure, 
Morelli, and Laire — as well as the total ignorance of it by Quadrio— 
hesUates whether it should be considered as a Brescia publication. 
He thinks it, however, probable that it may be : from finding a copy 
of it in the Casanatensian library, in an old binding, with some other 
tracts from the Brescia press — ^to which it bore a strong resemblance. 

But the di^culty lies, in knowing whether this be realty the im- 
pression noticed by Audiffredi — whose accuracy can never be ques- 

* Syndactam Rutaaolanum— the first of these words probably denotes an office and 
not a Quistian name. 



116 THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 

tioned but with considerable hesitation. He describes the first two 
lines of the title^ thus : 

Opere del Thebaldeo 
da Ferrara ca tabula. 

whereas^ in the copy before me^ it is thus : 

Opere del thebaldeo da 
Ferrara eu tabula. 

The remaining lines are precisely conformable. Again, the head title 
to the table, in Audifiredi, is thus : 

Tavola de la psente opra (sic) scodo lordie de lalphabeto. 

In the copy before me, it is as follows : 

Tabula de la psete opra secodo lordie de lalphabeto. 

In other respects, his description is quite correct. After the title, in 
8 lines, follows the Dedication (in Italian) on the reverse, to the Dlus . 
March . Mantuse. The table occupies 4 leaves. On sign. A the first 
Sonnet begins. The signatures run in eights, as far as Q : when 
the Sonnets end on the reverse of Q v : with the word FINIS, only— 
below the last line. The present copy, which is sound and desirable, 
appears, from the perpendicularity of the water mark, to be a folio- 
cut down to a small quarto, or rather octavo, size. In foreign calf 
binding. 

173. Terentius. (Printed by Sixtus Riessin- 
ger.) Without Date. Quarto. 

It is very probable that the present is the rarest edition of Terence 
which exists ; and, except the imperfect copy of it which I saw in the 
Public Library at Stuttgart, 1 know not, at this moment, where to 
mention the existence of another copy. The Duke di Cassano makes 
the same observation. Panzer refers to Giustiniani, p. 36, and this 
latter bibliographer to the very copy (then in the Duke di Cassano's 
collection) under description. Giustiniani says that *^ some think the 
date of it to be 1474,*' but he cannot speak with certainty upon i^ 
*^ adding, however, '* Questo ^ un pezzo, che fa veramente gloria al 
nostro tipografo.*' He might have safely antedated it by ihr^ yeari} 



THE CASSANO LIBRARY. 117 

and hence given it an antiquity next to that put forth by I. de Colonia^ 
in 1471> after those by Mentehn and Gering. The execution of it in the 
small type of Biessinger makes it almost quite certain that it was pub- 
lished during the year 1471 — if not before : as^ in this year, the printer, 
(see the article Bartolus, super Conic b, p. 20, ante) first put forth his 
larger type — to which, with some modifications, he appears afterwards 
to have strictly adhered. 

The first leaf (either on the recto or reverse, as the binder may 
make it) has a brief biography of Terence, in 24 lines, beneath a pre- 
fix in two lines of capital letters. Then, on the reverse of the second 
leafj the argument of the Andria, in 30 lines, beneath the wordARCu- 
acsNTUM. Again, below, is the well known Epitaph of Terence, be- 
ginning '' Naius in excelsis,** &c. On the recto of the ensuing leaf is 
a briefer argument of the Andria, in 9 lines — widely spaced — as is the 
whole of the remainder of the text. The Prologue follows^ in twenty 
lines— concluding at the 9th line of the second page of the text. The 
first scene begins thus : 

Simo . Sosia 

08 istec intro aufeite . abite • Sosia ades du pau 

cis te uolo So . DictQ puta • nempe ut curenl 

recte hec Si • Immo aliud So . Quid e qd mea ars effi 

cere hoc possit amplius Si . Nihil istac opus est arte, ad 

&c. &c. &c. 

The preceding in 4 lines. A full page has 22 lines. There are neither 
numerals, signatures, nor catchwords -, but, in the whole, 134 leaves. 
It may be noticed, that the two pages of the last leaf but one^^ con- 
tain^ each, 23 lines ; and the two last pages, each, 24 lines. The im- 
pression ends thus : 

phedria iudex nr Ph. lam faxo aderit Vos ualete et 
plaudite Caliopius recensui • Finis Terentii Aphricani. 

The present copy, notwithstanding the outer side margin is uniformly 
(but skilfully) inlaid, may be considered a fine and desirable one. 
The first page yet retains the armorial illumination of the original 
possessor. It is in foreign green morocco binding.

174. Terenxius. Printed at Naples. 1478. 
FoUo. 

The Duke di Cassano had conceived (as a well versed bibliogra- 
pher would naturally have conceived) that the press work of this edi- 
tion was that of Moravut ; but on a careful comparison with the types 
of books printed by Frandscus di Dino, he had no doubt of the present 
impression being the production of his press. This edition has 
escaped Panzer. On comparing it with the earlier ones of Mentelin, 
Ulric Hauj and Gering^ I apprehend it to be founded upon their texts^ 
but more especially upon that of Ulric Han. It has no distinctions of 
verses> as have the earlier Venetian impressions. A brief biography 
of Terence^ such as is found in Ulric Han*s edition^ precedes the Epi- 
taph of the poet and the Argument of the Andrla. The text begins at 
the bottom of the recto of the second leaf. A full page has 32 lines. 
In the whole> 65 leaves— without numerals^ signatures, or catch- 
words. On the recto of the last leaf, the colophon is as follows :

Finiunt fceliciter . Impresse Neapoli . Anno 
salutis . M. cccc. Lxxyiii. xiiii. die August!. 

A register is below -, denoting the gatherings to be in eights. Brunet 
notices this book, only as cited in the Cassano catalogue, and justly 
supposes it to be very rare. The present copy is large — ^but its clean 
condition is owing to very great attention having been paid to wash- 
ing, &c. Bound in foreign red morocco.

This Tract relates to the police, and government of the city of 
Florence. The author was of Ferrara, and the tract was composed at 
the request of Giuliano Salviati, an Officer of Justice. The types have 
a certain resemblance (especially in the coarse wood-cut ct^itals) to 
those used in the monastery of St. James di Ripoli, at Florence ; but they 
are not, in £M;t, the same. It is printed upon signatures a, 6, c^ in eights

176. Trottus. De Vero & Perfecto Clerico. 
Printed by Severinus, at Ferrara. 1475. 
Quarto. 

The Duke di Cassano calls this " a very rare impression of a work 
little known." I am afraid the present notice of it will not tend to 
difose a more general acquaintance with it. The author^ in his pre- 
feceto D. I. Zeno " Pontifex P^tavinus^*' has the hardihood to affirm 
— '' certe etate hac nostra tanto magis : qto virtuosorum ac excel- 
lentium hominum penuria est maior : Presertim in amplissimis digni- 
tatibus> in quibus propter peccahdi licentiam abstinere sex ex divlni 
Flatonis sententia difficilius est." It is rarely^ at this period^ that we 
find the Church Dignitaries dealt with thus freely.* There is a very 
particular account in Seemiller, vol. i. p. 71 of this impression — to 
which indeed Panzer chiefly refers : but why that bibliographer should 
infer that either '* the ignorance or the carelessness of the bookbinder 
had placed the table at the beginnings rather than at the end of the 
bookj" does not very obviously i^pear. Tables^ with colophons sub- 
joinedj are sometimes found as these are. It was the colophon which 
induced Seemiller to draw the inference. The table consists of seven 
leaves. The colophon announces the work to have ''been composed 
by Albertus Trottus of Ferrara, and there printed by Severinus of the

A poetical address (in hexameter verses) to the Christian princes to 
arm against the Great Turk, and as it consists of only 16 leaves, is^ in 
all probability, very rare. The Duke di Cassano rightly attributes it 
to the press of Ulric Han — in his larger character — and says it was 
unknown to Audiffredi. It is erroneously ascribed by Panzer, vol. iv.

179. TURRECREMATA, I. D£, In PsALTERIUM. 

Printed by SchtLszler. Augsbaurg. Without 
Date. Folio. 

I have compared this edition with that of 1472, by the same printer, 
described in vol. vi. page 983, and find them both precisely similar, as 
far as folio 20, reverse, where the present contains two additional 
words -—which shews that the press was re-set 3 and the varying of 
the contractions, and the extension of the last page of the work — ^is 
also an additional confirmation that the present is a fresh impression. 
If it were not for a ms. memorandum — ^which is undoubtedly coeval— 
I should suppose this edition to be subsequent to that above referred 
to— but this memorandum puts it out of all doubt that it is an anterior 
impression. It is as foUows. " Istum Ubru emit pr Jridericus prior 
dom^ numtiionnaT^loru. In SnaUi ord Carthunen Anno dni 1471 pro vno

thus : Uber dotntu CarthtuuB Sn<iUs, This edition contains, with that 
of 147s, 139 leaves. On the reverse of the last leaf (beneath the

182. VeRARDI C AROLI C^SENATIS HlSTORIA BaE- 

TIC A. Printed by Eucharius Silher. 1493. 
Quarto. 

This fa in every respect a very curious little volume j and the pre- 
sent copy is doubly estimable, both on account of its being printed 
vrmx vsixuM, and of its probably being the identical copy, (having 
the first page illuminated, with a Cardinars arms at bottom) belong- 
ing to Cardinal Riario, of a drama, acted in his own palace. The 
work in question is a sort of dramatic history, and is designated by 
Denis, vol. i. p. 35S, under the title of *' Historia de Urbe Granata dn* 
guUari virtute feUahmmpie atupidii Ferdmandi et HeUsabeth Hispaniarum 
Regit Ss lUgma expugnata*' The plan or plot is briefly detailed in the 
5d page of the author's preface. Audiffredi, Edit. Rom, p. 318, is pur- 
ticular and instructive upon this volume ; chiefly controverting the 
enoT of BarthoUnus being the author of the hexameter and pentameter 
verses which follow the play, instead of Marcellinus 3 which error, 
having misled Gesner, Zeno, and Fabricius, &c. is rectified (as Audif- 
fredi intimates) by the insertionof the name of Marcellinus* the grand- 
son and pupil of the author * in the prefix to the verses themselves.' 
The second point, which Audiffredi controverts, is that the play was 
not acted in the presence of Pope Innocent VIIL, but in that of the 
Cardinal, the Court, and the People. The words indeed of the prefiice, 
bear out Audiffredi in such an inference. They are these. '* Tanto 
autem patrumf ac populi silentio et attentione excepta est, tantusque 
favor ac plausus subsequutus, ut jam dudum nihil leque gratum," &c. 
On the recto of the ensuing leaf follow the verses — styled " Ekgia " 
— which Marcellinus, the grandson of the author {'* facili et copioso 
adolescens ingenio) composed. The first set, in hexameter and pen- 
tameters occupies 2 pages and a half. Next, a set of hexameter verses 
—about 8 pages — succeeded by " Ejusdem Elegia : Qua Fides Fer- 
nando & Helisabe gratias agit ; quod eorum opera Maurorum catenis 
Axerit liberata" — concluding on the recto of the S9th leaf, with the 
following colophon : 

* In the present copy, there is an ancient erasure and correction where this name 
occurs ; that is to say, m the 3d line of the 4th page, 
t ' Siletur omnin5 Pontifex "—as Audiffiredi properly subjoins.

" di gran raritit.'* It tcppcKra to be the first impression of the iBneid

language. A Prologue occupies the recto and reverse of the 1st leaf. 
Then follows the prologue of a certain Greek called Athanasius— -<!on- 
cerning whom, Maittaire is compelled to avow his ignorance. Other 
preliminary pieces occupy the remaining leaves of signature a. It is 
to be noticed that, like Caxton*s version, this impression contains only 
abridgements of the respective books. The famous description of 
Night, in the IVth Book — - '' Nox erat } et placidum carpebant

second set extends from A to L, indosiyely, in eights. The first 
portion of the work is almostentirely prose, the second portion wholly 
poetical. The colophon is very particular in the designation of the 
printer's abode. We find it is " Imprime en la ville de paru par km-

type, however, is his smaller character, precisely like that of Ruge* 
rlus and Bertochus, and is very rarely used by Azoguidi. Panzer, vol. 
iv. p. 844, relies exclusively upon Audiflredi. A register occupies the

rererse of the first leaf. The title or proheme (as given by Audif- 
fredi) follows^ on the recto of the second leaf. In the whole, ninety- 
six leaves ; of which the four last are occupied by a table. The colo- 
phon is on the recto of the 80th, thus : 

BONONIE IMPRESSVM ANNO . M. CCCC. 
LXXY. 

The reverse is blank. The '' treatise upon Excommunication'* follows 
on the recto of fol. 81. Audiffredi considers this to be a rare book. 
The present is a very desirable copy : in French blue morocco binding. 

191. Antoninus. Confessionale. Ital* Printed 
at Florence, in the Monastery qf St. James de 
' Ripoli. 1477. Quarto. 

This edition is printed in the large roman letter used in this monas- 
tery, and contains a to p in eights 3 p having only four leaves. On the 
recto of p ii the colophon is thus : 

Qui formatus fuit floretie apud sanctum. la 
cobum de ripolis. Mcccc. Lxxvii. 

In the present copy, the x, between the v and last i, is erased 3 but 
the intervening space leaves no doubt of its original insertion. A 
table, or Index, immediately follows the colophon. An indifferent 
copy, in calf binding, gQt leaves. 

192. Apocalypsis. Lat. Cum Comment. Nic.

I have little doubt of this being among the very earliest books 
printed by Ulric Han, in his smallest letter. The page is set up pre- 
cisely in the manner of the earlier pieces of Cicero, by the same 
printer^ and has the appearance of a large paper copy. The com- 
mentary of Nicolas de Lyra is in Italian ; nor does it appear to be a 
version of the Latin Commentary attached to his Commentary on the 
Bible, printed by Sweynheym and Fannartz in 1471-S : so that it is, 
in all probability, a whoUy different work, and was no doubt printed

( Printed by Mentelin. ) Without Date. Folio. 

I have little doubt of this being the second edition of the work i 
as that of 1467> printed by Schoiffher, is as certainly the first. Panzer 
(vol. i. p. 72) says, that, in a copy of this book, in the Heidegger 
Library, there was the date of 1467> written by an ancient illumi- 
nator ; and he hence queries whether this may not be the first edition \ 
But I apprehend the illuminator to have only repeated the printed 
date of the Mentz impression.* The copy under description com- 
mences with six leaves of a table, or heads of the oontents of the 
volume : these leaves. Panzer says, being sometimes placed at the end 
of the text. After the table, follow two blank leaves : then the text,

This is a very beautiful copy of a book of by no means ordinary 
occurrence ; and it is among the earliest of those which I remember to 
have seen with a running title. The word *' Aristoteles '* is uniformly 
printed ** Aristotiles.*' The type is precisely similar to that which 
G. Zeiner used ; as may be seen from a fttc- simile in the BM, Spencer. 
vol. ii. p. 201. There are neither numerals^ signatures, nor catch- 
words : a full page> exclusively of the running title, contains thirty- 
three lines. On the recto of the thirty-fifth and last leaf, is the colo-

197. AsTEXANUs. SuMMA. Supposed to be 
printed by Mentelin. Without Date. Folio. 

A ms. remark of Lord Spencer, in the fly leaf of this copy, informs 
us, that this edition does not correspond with either of the three edi- 
tions noticed by Panzer. The impression is executed in a loose 
gothic type, strongly resembling that of JlfeittoZtn, but of a little larger 
form. Ten leaves of an Alphabetical table, or index, precede the 
Epistle of the author to Cardinal Caietanus : wliich, with numerical 
references to leaves where the several treatises commence, occupies 
one leaf. It seems that the last subject—" De lege humana no tcripia, 
&c. commences at folio 470 : designated in Arabic numerals : and per- 
haps among the earlier instances of their use. Then the first book—

This volume must in all respects be considered a curiosity j as it is

The type is a small irregular roman letter; and there is a sort of semi- 
gothic look — about the whole. The capital letters are peculiar ; and

within nine lines of the bottom of the second page. A full page con-

the reverse of the last leaf :

Fbnzerj vol i. p. 470^ conjectures^ somewhat whimsically, that this 
work was the performance of some printer passing through the city 
of Laugingen ; but this supposes, either that the printer travelled 
with a press, or that he found the materials for printing at Laugingen 
—which latter is the more reasonable inference ; and, if so, there are 
doubtless other books printed at the same place. The present is a 
very desirable copy, in blue morocco binding.

Not only has Panzer omitted the mention of this work by the

introduced aiiiong those wbo printed at Lyons in the XVth century. 
See the Amml T\/pog. vol. v. p. itS, p. 477- The work is printed in a 
small close gothic letter, (not very milike that of Planck) in double

translator of this work was Ludovicus Carbo. The printer is, with-

205. BiBLiA Latina. (Printed by EggeHeyn.) 
Folio. 2 Tols* 

The present is a magnificent copy of what I consider to be the 
FiasT EDITION of the Latin Bible by Eggesteyn : and although in 
some few particulars it differs at the commencement^ from the descrip** 
tion given of it by Panzer (vol. i. p. 80) yet it should seem that such 
differences are not singular— as De Murr has noticed similar discre- 
pancies in the copy in the Public Library at Nuremberg. It will be 
sufficient, in the first place, to shew how this copy differs at the 
beginning from that described by Panzer, and, in the second place, to 
shew how it differs from the edition before described— and which I 
have considered {BiJbl. Spencer, vol. i. p. 38) to be the second. In 
regard to the number of lines in a page, and of leaves in a volume, 
the account perfectly corresponds ^ namely, forty-one lines in a page ', 
320 leaves in the first volume, and 312 in the second. 

I will, in the first place, give a parallel description of the copy seen 
by Fftnzer, and the present :

The date of this Bible is purely conjectural. A pencil note assigns 
tint of 1468 to it. I have supposed a sinnlar date to attach to the 
second edition j but I admit that it is a mere conjecture. These fine 
▼ohnnes are magnificentlj boand in blue morocco. 

206. Boccaccio. Il Philocolo. Printed by 
John the San qf Peter {qf Mentz ) at Florence* 
1472. FoHo. 

Prima Edizione ; and of etcessive rarity'-since> among all the bib- 
liographical authorities which I have consulted^ I perceive that the 
only^copy referred to is that in the collection of the Duke de la Val- 
liere. See the Cat vol. ii. p. 650. It has been supposed that this 
" John " might be " the son of Peter"— ^hoiifher j but very vaguely : 
and Panzer^ yet more vaguely^ conceives the date of the edition 
should be rather 1499 — because ''about this time a certain Mentz 
citizen, of the name of John, tarried or worked with the Florentine 
printers.*' AnnaL Typog. vol. i. p. 404. On the contrary, there ia 
every internal evidence of the work being eneoatad by a Florentine 
press, at the period of wfaidi it bears the date. The type has a strong 
resemblance to that of some of the printers in the monastery of St. 
James de Ripoli, at Florence. The impression is executed in long 
lines, without numerals, signatures, or catchwords ; and a full page 
contains thirty-four lines. On the recto of the first leaf, at the top, 
we read as follows : 

COMINCIA ILPHILOCOLO DI :M. G. BOCCHACII.

of the last :

MagiBter iouannes petri demagontia scripsit hoc

The word " scripsit** might imply the manual labour of copying, 
or transcribing with a pen ; but I suspect it to ht, here> synonymous 
with " imprestU ;'* although I do not observe any definition of the verb 
** 9cribo, ** in the manual glossary of Du Fresne (Halae 1772, 8vo.) 
as making that word synonymous with printing : nor does the Catho* 
Ikon, as publiabed by Gutenberg (1460) or G. Zeiner (1469) furnish 
soch a synonyme. The present copy, made sound and clean by the 
skill of C. Lewis, is splendidly bound by the same binder in russia, 
with a broad border of gold. It is, in all respects, a most precious and 
desirable book ', and just precedes, by eight days, the impression of 
the same work pubished at Venice in the same month and year. 

207. BoNAVENTURiE OpuscuLA. Printed by 
Bemardinus Misinta* Brescia. 1495-7. Quarto. 



Hus edition finds a place in the library on account of its being a 
specimen of a rare Brescia printer. The title tells us that this work 
is '* worthy of golden notes," llie first colophon, on the reverse of 
g g ^j» in eights, denotes the book to be printed in the year 1495 
*' sun^Hbus Angeli brUannid de PaUazolo" The printer's device, very 
l^etty, is below. Then a blank leaf, and another tide. The second 
colophon — at the end of two sets of alphabets, both in eights, but the 
latter extending to N vj — tells us that this latter part was printed in 
1497 : and doubtless published at different times. A neat copy, ele- 
gaofly bound in calf, with gilt leaves.

seven leaves. The first chapter commences with the Advent Sunday. 
A full page has thirty lines. On the rev^erse of the last leaf is the

order of Humble Brethren." As the signatures run consecutively 
through the three volumes, the work was originally, doubtless, pub- 
lished in one. At the end of the third volume, is the colophon in ten 
long lines, printed in red, with the word Amen beneath — "per lofiem

letter from Brentius to Pope Sixtus IV. precedes a preface by the 
same '' upon the Oration itself." lliis prdEeu^ ends on the ncC6 of

p. 46. It is bound with an edition of the Table of Cebes— of the 
extreme rarity of which the reader may be conTinoed by consulting 
the page first referred to. It has been supposed to be printed by Cal- 
lieigus^ and the types have certainly a resemblance to those of that 
printer ; but his Lordship, in a subjoined note, in pencils observes 
that " the book is printed in the character of the commentary to Apol« 
lonius Bhodius, 1496, and, therefore belongs to the press of Lauren- 
tins IVandscas de Alopa, who printed the five books in capital letters ; 
but having no date, it may be doubtful whether this was published 
before the year 1500 s although^ from its being an elementary book, it 
is probable that it was ; and may perhaps even have preceded the 
Anthologia of 1494.** The impression b executed on signatures • to

218. Cicero. Epistola ad Familiares. Prinr

This book is among the finest specimens of the press of Zarotus ; 
and, at first glance, might be mistaken for a specimen of that of 
Jenson. The first page has thirty-seven lines beneath three lines of 
the title, in capital letters. A full page has forty-one lines. There 
are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. On the recto of 
the 196ih and last leaf, beneath the word Rnit, in gothic capitals, we 
read the colophon, thus :

Lewis.

If the value of a book were to be estimated by its rarity, the present 
volume would probably be among the most valuable in the world j 
and if the subject were equal to its rarity, there would hardly be any 
limits affixed to its bibliographical estimation. Unluckily the subject 
is of a generally uninteresting character ; being that of moral reflec- 
tions upon scriptural texts. To add to the interest, and worth of the 
copy, it is PKiNTBO upon vbllum. It was procured, as I have already

obsenred (Tour, vol. iii. p. xxxiv) at Nuremberg^ of Baion Deraehaa ; 
who not only assured me^ on the authority of Panzer, that the work 
was wholly unknown^ but that F&nzer had intended to write a little 
tract upon its rarity and worth. After a very careful consideration, I 
am wholly unable to appropriate its character. There are some capital 
letters, such as the A. £ and M> which have an affinity to those of 
Laoer, but the P, R, 6, and Q, differ materially -, as well as the whole 
of the lower-case — which has a fuller face. It remains to describe 
so very singular a volume. 

A register of eight leaves precedes the text. The references are in 
Arabic numerals. On the recto of the ninth leaf the text begins, thus : 

Incipit liber qui dicitur copendium morale, 
utilis pro sermonibus & collacionibus faciendis. 
Prologus. 

This in two lines. From the beginning of the text, we find that 
the author was Nicolas de Ianua — a monk of the Augustine order. 
There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords : the fuller 
pages contain thirty-eight and thirty-nine lines. It must be con- 
fessed that the printing is not only indifferent in itself, but that the 
regbter is very unskilfully observed. On the reverse of the 178th 
and last leaf, below the 23d line, we read thus : 

Explicit compendium morale. 

The condition of this book is equal to its rarity. It is throughout 
clean and genuine -, and has been recently bound in blue morocco, by 
C. Lewis, in a very beautiful manner. 

220. CoNsuETUDiNES NeapolitanjE. (Printed

This is, in all respects, a very valuable book ; as containing the

" Liber iste consueUidmum Civitatis NeapoV compasitus Juit ex consuetudi-' 
nibus antiquis turn in/ormam scr^tuns redactis" &c. The whole work 
was printed under the editorial care of Tuppo, with the Commentary

On the recto of the thirty third and last leaf, we read the following 
colophon : 

Presserat hoc primo placuit formare seoundo 
Ne desit : ]|ui8 sit brene : doctua Adam. 

The types of this book are exactly conformable to those in the 
Virgil, and Cicero's Epistles to his Friends, described at pages 107 
and 987 of the preceding volume. All the books, executed by this 
printer, are very rare. The present is a large and beautiful copy,

which is probably the first edition of Tacitus, De Situ, MarUrtu, et 
PopuUs GennanuB ** it being called '' Libellus Aureus/* Although no 
name of printer be subjoined, the type is precisely conformable to the 
smaller character of Azoguidi. A table occupies the first leaf : then 
the Latin version of Diodorus Siculus, without any prefix. The text 
of this author occupies ninety-one leaves ; having the imprint thus 
singularly expressed :

Printed by Leonardtis BMiUensis. Vicenza. 
1474, Folio. 

PsiMA Edizione ', of exceedingly great rarity. There are few of 
the foreign collections^ and still fewer of our own^ which contain a 
copy of this most desirable impression. The present copy was a gift 
to his Lordship by the Marquis di Trivulzio of Milan. The edition is 
briefly but accurately described by Brunet, who notices the signatures 
(many of them sufficiently barbarous) printed at a coosiderable dis- 
tance below the text^ so that purchasers must look well to their ap- 
pearance^ otherwise their copies will be comparatively short. On 
the recto of the first leaf (a i) is the title^ in six lines of capital let- 
ters : from which we learn that the Dita Mundi was composed by 
Fazio degli Uberti of Florence The poem commences^ thus : 

On p tractar gliafani chio sofersi 
Del mio luogo chami ne le paure

Ma per uoler contar le cosse obscure,

&c. &c. &c. 

The types strongly resemble those of Rugerius and Bertochus^ Bo- 
lognese printers. The signatures run from a to n, in eights : n has 
six leaves, and o four. On the reverse of o iiij, is the metrical colo- 
phon, thus :

It is not improbable that this may be the very earliest impression of

The type is a small, close, semi-gothic printed in long lines. The 
title is thus : 

There are twenty-eight lines below. A full page has thirty lines.

The impression is wholly destitute of signatures, numerals, and 
catchwords ; and on the reverse of the seventieth and last leaf, after 
a testimony of the ability of Stephanus Fliscus de Soncino *' vir 
apprime doctus,** in the composition of the work, and beneath a 
register, is the following imprint :

234. Formulae Epistolares. Printed by Con- 
rad de Westphalia. LouDain^ 1476. Folio. 

This is among the scarcest books in the world*- and is not only the 
om^ one, printed by C. de Westphalia, in this Library, but probably the 
only one, by the same printer, in the kingdom. To a collector of old 
typographical PortraUs, it is invaluable — as it has one of the printer $ 
which, with a very particular account of this copy, appears in the Bibliog. 
Decameron, vol. ii. p. 14^-4. It remains here only to observe, that 
the book is printed in long lines, in a barbarous secretary gothic type, 
without numerals, sigiiatures, or catchwords. In the whole, seventy- 
two leaves ; having the portrait of the printer (or qusere of the 
Author ?) at the bottom of the recto of this leaf. The address to the 
reader, or the advertisement, on the reverse, is reprinted in my Deca- 
meron. This copy is perfectly as fair, fresh, and large, as if it had just 
quitted the printer's office. It is el^antly bound in red morocco, by 
C.Lewis. 

235. FoRMULARiuM Instrumentorum, &c. Prin-

We have here a most beautiful copy of a specimen of the smaller 
type of Stephen Flanck, whose name does not often appear to similar 
specimens of his press. The copy is large and clean. A table of 
eight leaves precedes the text. The text occupies 170 leaves, with- 
out numerals, signatures, or catchwords. On the reverse of the 170th

A ins. note of Count Reviczky, to whom this copy originally be- 
longed, informs us that this is the pirst bdition of the Author ; and 
that Puteolanus could find only one ms. of it, and that in a very indif- 
ferent condition. The tracts in this edition run in the following 
order. A prefatory address by Franciscus Puteolanus, to lacobus Anti- 
quarius, occupies the first four leaves. Then the three books " Jrtis

This is the second volume only, to complete the copy —which is 
so fiilly described in the Bibl. Spencer, vol. i. p. 802-4 } and to which 
description I have here nothing to add, except a full belief that the 
work is from the press of Riessmger : although I am at a loss to know 
what the capital letters, I A. R V. can stand for. The malformation 
of the capital letter N betrays the press of Riessinger, and not that 
of Ulric Han. This volume is also handsomely illuminated in the first 
page, and is in yet finer condition than the first. Between the table 
and the text, there are three blank original leaves. I apprehend this 
to be the fourth edition of the work. In yellow calf binding with gilt 
leaves.

244. HiEBONiMi Epistol^. (Printed by Men-

Without doubt the second edition of the work ; and printed at 
least as early as the year 1469. : since the copy of it> in the Brienne 
Collection, had the date of 1469 stamped in ancient characters, 
on the binding. That copy was sold for 1200 francs. Consult 
Bnmet. A table of two leaves precedes the text. On the recto of 
the third leaf begins the letter of Pope Damasus to Jerom. The work 
is printed in double columns, in the large gothic letter of Mentelin, 
precisely suuUar to that of his Virgil and Terence. A full page con- 
tains fifty lines. On the reverse of the 22dd and last leaf, the text 
ends, thus :

An address from Andreas Brentius to Zacharias Barbaras precedes

address, from the same person, to Ni. Gupalatinus. I am not sure 
that this piece is perfect; Without numerals, signatures, or catch- 
words In olive-morocco binding. 

246. HoMERUS. Batrachomtomachia. Lat. 
Without Name of Printer^ Place, or Date. 
Quarto. 

This is a metrical version by Charles Aretin, whose pre£eitory 
epistle to Maiassius Siculus occupies the two first pages, and the 
greater portion of the third. This epistle is not uninteresting -, and 



IfiS BOOKS 

the writer argues that if Vii^l be the author of the Gnat« &c. so 
Homer might have written the poem of the Frogs and Mice. The 
version begins thus : 

Anarum muruinq; simul crudelia bella 
Quaeq; sup genibus descnpsi carmla nup 

&c. &c. &c. 

The poem occupies the five following leaves; having twenty-five 
lines in a full page : printed in a round handsome roman letter, with* 
out numerals, signatures, or catchwords* In the whole, eight leaves : 
ending thns : 

Phaebi qum tati cessit discordia belli. 

This copy is in an almost uncut state, bound with several tracts be- 
fore described : among which, however, is a curious metrical epistle 
in hexameters and pentameters) of Pope Pius 11. to the Turkish Bm- 
peror, with a poetical reply, in the same metre, by the Turk : in 
which the Grand Signor is so complimentary as to prefer his Holi- 
ness to the cause of Christianity ; 

Sed DOS te solam longo ueneramur in euo 
Te solum colimus: solus & ipse places. 

This very curious, and I make no doubt, very rare piece is printed on 
two leaves only : in a close, thick, roman letter : and is perhaps as 
old as the year 1474. 

247. HoRATius. Printed by P. Condam Petri. 
Venice. 1477 Folio. 

A most magnificent copy of the first of the three editions of Horace 
by this printer ; the two latter being of the dates of 1478 and 1479. 
The existence of this edition has been doubted : a doubt which must 
no longer be entertained. It is executed on signatures A to F in 
eights : a being on the left side of the signature, and the letter q 
always denoting the fourth leaf of the signature. P has only five 
printed leaves, a blank forming the sixth. On the recto of P v the

ticolarly in the intenniztore of roman cepitalB with gothic lower cete. Nor is the 
romen type unlike that of Leonard Hoi, who printed at Ulm.

350. JusTiNiAKo/ Laude dblla Vergine. 
Printed at Vicenza, by Leonardm BeuiliensU. 
1477. Quarto. 

A very rare little book. The title is thus> in four lines of capital 
letters^ with the exception of the last word> and a portion of the 
penult word. " Laude del ExcellenHmmo Miner Lonardo lutHmano 
Patricio Fenetiano de AUri ScpiefUissimi homm." The work is without 
signatures^ numerals, or catchwords ; although some signatures haye 
been subsequently printed, in a very bungling manner, by the hand. 
The work is wholly metrical. On the recto of the seventy-first and 
last leaf, is the colophon in fourteen lines «- from which I transcribe 
the latter part :

whole, seventy-two leaves : handsomely bound in blue morocco, by 
Hering.

thus : ** luuecut presbyter . immesam euagelice legis maiestatez heroicU

253. Leonicenus, Omnibonus. Printed by Jch 
cohui Gallums (ofr de Rubeis.) Venice. 1473. 
Quarto. 

Editio Princeps 'f and of very great rarity. The present is a most 
beautiful copy of the work. The prefix is in five lines of roman capi- 
tals> printed in red. Seventeen lines are below. A full page has 
twenty-four lines-^without numerals, signatures, or catchwords. On 
the reverse of the eighty-first and last leaf, is the imprint, thus : 

Omniboni Leoniceni VicentiDi • V . Clarissimi 
De Octo Partibus Oronis Liber Per lacobU 
Gailicu Impressus Anno Grae . M. cccc. Ixxiii. 
Nicolao Marcello Duce. 

This beautiful volume has very much the appearance of a work from 
the press of Jenson. In French red morocco binding. 

254. LiTio, RoBERTUs De. Quadragesimale. 
Ital. Printed in 1476. Folio. 

This is a very beautifully printed book, although the present copy 
be not in the most &vourable condition. Ffemzer, vol. iv. p. 15, men- 
tions only one copy of it, in the library of some foreign monastery. I 
have little doubt of its being executed at Venice or Ftona.* The 
signatures, from a to n run in sixes : a having ten leaves. On the 
reverse of n v is the colophon, thus : 

Finisse el quadragesimale del ue 
nerabile Magistro Roberto fa / 
cto a compiacentia : e deuotione 
de la sacra maiesta del Re Feran

* On comparing the type with that of the jhiuio of Boccaccio, printed at Treriso 
by Michel Bfanzolo (we toI. ri. p. 302) I find nn exact conformity : yet Maniolo' vho 
was a natiTe of Panna, might hare brought hii fonnt of letter from thence.

265. LiTio, RoBERTus De. De Caritate. With- 
out Name of Printer, Place, or Date, ^c. Folio. 

Printed in a roman type disting^hed by the peculiar formation of 
the letter R. This perfectly fine copy, containing forty-eight leaves, 
without numerals, signatures, or catchwords, was obtained from the 
library of the monastery of St. Peter at Salzburg. Many of the 
leaves are uncut. The last leaf contains nineteen lines. In russia 
binding. 

256* LuciANus. DiALOoi VI. Lat. (Printed 
in the Monastery qf St. Eusebius, at Rome.) 
Without Date, ^c. Quarto. 

The principal subject, or title of these Dialogues, is Charon ; of 
which the version is by Rinudus Aretinus— >who, from the postscript, 
on the recto of the last leaf, appears to have translated it from the 
Greek as an amusement, in the country, during an indifferent state of 
health — and to rid himself of the throng of the fashionable world at 
Rome. Audiffredi, {Edit. Rom. p. 409) appears to have been in- 
debted to his friend R. P. T. V. for his account of this edition, 
which is justly supposed to be printed in the same types with the 
HmniUm of Chryioitcm, of which a fiic-simile appears in vol. i. p. 194. 
A sort of summary of contents, in twenty-two lines, is on the reverse 
of the first leaf. A full page has twenty-four lines : without nume- 
rals, signatures, or catchwords. In the whole, eighty leaves : there 
being nineteen lines on the recto of the last leaf. The present is a 
clean, sound, and most desirable copy — obtained of Mr. Chardin at 
Paris— and bound in French blue morocco. 

257. LuciANus. Opuscula Qu^edam. Lat. 
Printed by S. Bevilaqua. Venice. 1494. 
Quarto. 

These are the first editions, with a date, of the Latin versions of

Aureo, PhiloMphorum VUa, Sdpio, Tyrannui, Schaphidium, PaJmurus, 
Charon, Diogenes, Terpmon, Hercules, Virtus Dea, In Amorem, Timon. 
The signatures, from a to p, run in eights, with the exception of b 
and h, which have only four leaves. The colophon is on the reverse 
of p yj. What is singular, for so small a volume, there are two 
pages, and a small portion of a third, of errata, following the colo- 
phon. This copy is handsomely bound in red calf with gilt leaves. 

258. Mathias de Crackovia. De Sacerdo- 
TiBus ET Laicis. Printed by Alberttis Kunne 
de Buderstat. Memmingen. 1491. Quarto. 

This curious little tract ^* ttrum expedkU et deceat sacerdotes missoM 
continuare vel lakosfrequenter coicare,** finds a place in this library as a 
specimen of a very uncommon printer : whose type is a small, close, 
and tall gothic letter. The prologue occupies the reverse of the first 
leaf. In the whole, twelve leaves : on signatures a and b in sixes. 
On the reverse of b v,

The following and last leaf is blank. In blue calf binding, with gilt 
leaves. 

259. Mesue. Opera. Printed in 1471. Folio. 
Apponius In Mesuam. Without Date. Folio. 

This is a very curious volume in a typographical point of view : in- 
asmuch as it exhibits a specimen of a printer, whose types bear a 
strong resemblance to those of the first Horace, but which, on a second 
examination, will be found to be more regular, as well as the press- 
work more skilfully executed. The printer is supposed to be Clemens 
Patavmus, and is of very rare occurrence. The book is printed in 
double columns, in a large but thin roman letter— without numerals.

Then fbUows a tract of Petrus Apponius entitled ". In JUbrum loaunis .

a similar manner. The colophon, without date, is in four lines of 
capital letters^ on the reverse of the last leaf. The present is a fine 
and clean copy, in olive-coloured morocco binding, by C. Lewis. 

260, Mexia Ferantd. Libro Nobiliario. 
Printed by Pedro Brun and Juan GentiU at 
Seville. 1492. Folio. 

The title, in four lines, occupies the recto of the first leaf. Then 
three leaves of table : followed by two leaves of prologue. The work 
begins on signature b, and continues to m, inclusively, in eights. 
The colophon is thus 3 on the recto of m viiij. *' Acabose la presente

A perfectly sound and genuine copy ; bound with the preceding

262. Mis SALE Roman UM. Printed by Ulric 
Han. Rome. 1475. Folio. 

Editio Pkinceps. On every account this is a most estimable 
volume. It is the earliest impression of the Missal established at 
Rome ; and^ as suchj the parent text of the greater number of similar 
publications during the xvth century. This copy has also the addi- 
tional recommendation of being very fine and large^ and printed 
UPON VELLUM. A colcudar of six leaves precedes the text : the first 
page of which is, here, elegantly illuminated : *' Incipit ordo mmalis 
iecdm conauetudinem Curie Rotnane, " &c. The work is printed in 
double columns, in the two larger lower case gothic founts of the 
printer > without numerals, signatures, or catchwords ; and has the 
following colophon on the recto of the 285th and last leaf:

The preceding is executed in red ink — whlcb> indeedj is plentifully 
scattered about the text. This large and clean copy (with the excep- 
tion of msmy naturally discoloured pages) is magoificently bound in 
blue morocco, by C. Lewis. From the Cassano Collection. 

263. MissALE Pataviense. Printed by Rat- 
dolt. Venice. 1494. Folio. 

A large wood cut of Valentinus, St. Stephen, and Maximilian, occu- 
pies the reverse of the first leaf. Then an address from Christopher, 
Bishop of F^ua, dated 1493 : so that this edition, though the second 
of the text of the Missal, is the first immediately following the 
address of the Bishop. After the Calendar of six leaves, comes a 
table in five leaves : then the text on folio 1. In the whole 861 leaves, 
numbered. On the reverse is the colophon, thus : 

Erhardi Ratdolt felicia conspice signa • 
Testata artificem qaa valet ipse manum. 

The arms or device of the printer are below : the only instance of it 
with which I am acquainted. A star, between a pair of horns, upon a 
helmet, forms the crest. A naked man, with a star covering hia 
abdomen, and a caduceus in his right hand, occupies the sur&ce of 
the shield. A most desirable copy, in calf binding — obtained from a 
monastery in the Rossau, near Vienna. 

264. MissALE Fratrum Predicatorum. Prin- 
ted by AndreM de Torresanis de Asula. Venice. 
1496. Folio. 

I am not sure whether any volume in this library, exceeds the pre- 
sentj for the uniform beauty of its execution — upon vellum — ^in a 
fine, large, and fiowing gothic letter, in double coliunns ; and, here, 
illuminated throughout in a very delicate and striking manner. The 
vellum has scarcely one blemished page : but the twenty-eighth and 
twenty-ninth leaves are imluckily ms. : and yet, executed in a manner 
to escape an unpractised eye. The printer was the father-in-law of 
Aldus. The title in eight lines, diminishing to a point, is on the 
recto of the first leaf. " MUsak $ecundum consueiudmem fratrum pre^ 
dicaiorum cum omnibus additionibus, tarn ad conventualem quam ad prioa" 
tarn missam pertinentibus" This leaf, admirably as it is executed, is 
also MS. After the table are thirteen leaves ; B twelve, and a leaf

belonging to A. The leaves are then numbered, 29S« to the end 
of the volume. On the reverse of fol. 222 is the colophon, in fourteen 
lines, with the printer's device, in red, beneath. Then, as I suspect, 
two leaves of a table or index ; of which one is here wanting. The 
register concludes the work. This splendid volume is magnificently 
bound in blue morocco, by C. Lewis. 

265. MissALE Salisburgense. Printed by 
George Stocks ex StUczpcich, at Nuremberg. 
1498. Folio. 

Editio PaiKOEPs. A sound and desirable copy of this parent text 
of the Order of the Service used in the monastery of St. Peter, at 
Salzburg. The arms of the convent, and a pre&ce, each one leaf, 
precede the Calendar. Two leaves are between the Calendar and the 
commencement of the text : which latter begins on signature a — a to 
f in eights. Then A to I in eights ; I having ten leaves. Or, 252 
leaves in the whole, from the commencement of the text, the last leaf 
not being numbered. On this last leaf is the colophon, in fourteen 
lines, telling us, as above, that the work was printed " at the ex" 
peme qfJohn Ryman'* In pale russia binding. 

266. Miss ALE. De Requiem. Printed by John 
Winterburg. Vienna. 1499. Folio. 

This is the only copy I ever saw, of a Missal containing the Ae- 
quiem Service for the Dead. It was purchased of the Monastery of the 
Order of the Servants of the blessed Virgin, in the Rosiau, in the 
suburbs of Vienna. On the recto of the first leaf, is this address to 
the reader :

Jhit tAtum ifitta^ lerera te morte jetequetut

On the recto of the following leaf, a ij, the text begins beneath 
nine lines, chiefly of Scriptural passages, thus : '' Reqwem etema dona 
eit dne,'* &c. The work concludes on the reverse of b viij, in eights : 
the printer's colophon is in red, thus :

267. Nef (La) des Folz du Monde. Printed 
at Lyons, by G. BaUartn. 1498. Folio. 

In a close, sharp, gothic type ; hot very much unlike that of the 
smallest secretary gothic of Pynson. The cuts are much Inferior to 
those at Basle, of which specimens appear in the third volume of this 
work, p. 203, &c. The title, over a wood cut, with the usual ship, as 
on sign. a. The signatures, a to o, inclusively run in sixes : oh the 
recto of o vj is the colophon from which we. learn that the work was 
** translatee de rime en prose aueeques aulcunes aditkmM nouueUes par, 
maittre ieJum drouyn bachelier e$ Unx ^ en decrei " — and then printed as 
above specified. The device of the printer is on the reverse. The 
present is a cropt copy, hardly worthy of the elegant binding (in palife' 
russia) bestowed upon it. . 

268. NicoL Ai (Falcuccii ) Antidotarium. 



Printed by Jenson. 1471. Quarto, 

Ftozer (vol. iii. p. 77-8) is copious in his references respecting 
this book 3 of which the present is a very choice copy, obtained of 
M« Chardin, at' Paris. The work b entirely medicinal. , On the 
reverse of the forty*fourth leaf, is the colophon : 

FINIT ANTIDOTARIVM NICOLAI IM 
PRESSVM VENETIIS PER NIGOLAVM 
lENSON GALLICVM . M. CCCC. LXXI. 

Then six leaves of " Tractatulus Quid pro Quo *' — ^though, at'the end» 
it is called " Tractatus." Next, *' Incipivnt Sinonima.*' .These Syno- 
nymes occupy seventeen' leaves : having the general colophon, in four 
lines, on the reverse of the seventeenth leaf. Pftnzer calls them 
eighteen leaves, but erroneously — as there appears to be no defect in 
this copy. The whole is without signatures, &c. 

Bound up with this work, and in all probability published with it, 
is the tract or book of jSebvitor or Sbrapio : thus entitled : 

INCIPIT LIBER SERVITORIS LIBER 
xxviii. Bulcbasi Benaberazerin traslatus a Si- 
nioe ianuesi iterprete Abraa iudeo toituosiesi.

A fun page^ like the precediog tracts contains twent3^8even lines. In 
the whole, 8ixty*four leaves. On the reverse of the sixty-fourth 
leaf, at bottom, is the following colophon :

pressus Venetiis p Nicolau Ies5 gallicu. Mcccclxxi, 

In red morocco binding. 

269. Officium Beat . Mar • Virg. (Printed 
in 1474. ) Octodecimo. 

Had the condUion of this beautiful little book been equal to its me, 
it would have been a most covetable volume. It is printed upon 
VELLUM 3 and, as I strongly suspect, by Jenson. The illuminations 
have been much injured. A coeval ms. inscription, at the end, de- 
scribes this book to have belonged to some one, resident at Bologna, 
in 14T41 In olive-coloured morocco binding. Erom the Cassano 
Collection. 

270. Officium Ejusdem. Printed by Moranms. 
1476. Octodecimo. 

This copy, priktbd upon vellum, in the gothic type, has been much 
soiled throughout. The colophon, in five lines, tells us the book was 
]p|rinted by Moravus, at Nicies, in 1476, on the llth of June. The 
binding of this book,- by G. Lewis, having varied coloured moroccos 
within, is most brilliant. From the Cassaoo Collection. 

271. Officium Ejusdem. Printed by Moravus. 
Naples. 1478. Octodecimo. 

In the roman letter, but in a very imperfect state at the beginning 
and end : the first part wanting the whole of the table, and the latter 
the leaf which contains the colophon— here copied. The fore-margin 
has been also very much cut away by a former binder. Without 
numertds, signatures, or catchwords. This copy is printed upon 
VELLUM, which has beein much soQed. In blue morocco binding, by 
C. licwis.

the smallest g«thic type of the printer. The flluminations areg^ 
nuioe and fresh. The imprint^ in red^ in four lines^ tells us that 
Moravus printed it on the 15th day of October^ in the above year. 
This copy has the following words in ms.^ on the first leaf, " Card 
Baranij,** 1596, and is thence conjectured to have belonged to Car- 
dinal Baronius> who was living at that date. It has been most bril 
liantly bound in blue morocco, by C. Lewis. 

273. Officium Beat. Mar. Virg. Printed by 
Preller, at Naples. 1487. 12nio. 

The Library of his Lordship can boast of few more elegant little 
volumes than the present. The type is a full-faced, large gothic 
letter : the page narrow : the margin broad : and the vellum, upon 
which this copy happens to be printed, is in a perfect state for colour 
and quality. The Calendar occtipies the first twelve leaves : then 
three pages of '* the seven joys of the blessed Virgin" — followed by 
the commencement of St. John's Gospel : in the whole, fifteen leaves 
ctf preliminary matter. A very indifferent wood^cut of the annunci- 
ation is on the reverse of the fifteenth leaf. The text occupies 106 
leaves, without signatures, &c. although this copy has them very 
skilfully inserted by a pen. On the recto of the last leaf, the colo- 
phon, printed in red, is as follows : 

finit t(Btiu$ fuau titrgmtjl

There are three or four very indifferent wood-cuts. The illumin- 
ations in this copy are original, but in part faded. Upon the whole, 
a choice bijou ; recently and beautifully bound in blue morocco, by 
C. Lewis.

irfll find that Leonard of Basle and that printer uied predacly the 
same colophon, with the suhstitntion of the one name, or the o^er, 
according to the reapective property of each in the work. Not, 
however, that the types have the least similitude. The present are 

rounder and fuller. The signatures — a^ *m run in eights ; a i being 

blank : n has ten leaves : the colophon being on the reverse of the 
tenth. The present is a sound and desirable copy ; in russia binding. 

275. OviDius. Db Nuncio Saoaci. (Printed 
by Ulric Zet). Without Date. Quarto. 

This very scarce and very curious (Pseudo-Ovid) poetical tract 
appears to have escaped Panzer. On the recto of the first leaf, it 
begins thus :

This is an exceedinglj rare book^ and will be found described in 
verj few bibliographical works. It is destitute of signatures and nu- 
merals, but has catchwords on the reverse of every leaf; which 
renders it a typographical curiosity. I should suppose the date of it 
to be about 1474-6. The text begins thus :

gothic type, with flowered capitals. Then follows " tractatua aureus

This is the original Latin work^ of which so particular an account 
iqppears of the Italian version, at page 81, ante. The name of Ries- 
singer is not to be found in the work, but the book is unquestionably 
the production of that printer's press. In the whole, 181 leaves, 
without numerals, signatures, or catchwords. An indifferent copy ; 
in foreign calf binding. From the Cassano Collection. 

279. Petrarcha . Sonetti e Trionfi. Prin- 
ted hy Zarotus. Milan. 1473. Folio. 

As fiir as I can observe, both Panzer and and Brunet rely chiefly 
upon the copy of this edition in the Valliere Collection, and it is evi- 
dent that the latter bibliographer had never seen it, from the brevity 
of his description. I have little doubt of its being among the rarest 
impressions of the poet extant i and that there are few copies in the 
libraries of the curious. The edition appears to want both the life of 
Petrarch and a table: commencing thus, on the recto of the first leaf, 
at top: 

Oi chascoltate in rime sparse 

il suono 
Di quei sospiri ondio nudriual 

core 
Insulmio prio gioueil errore 
Quadera i pte altro huo da quel chi sono 
Del uario stile inchio piango & ragiono. 

&c. &c. &c. 

I have compared several Sonnetb of this edition with similar ones 
in the parent text of V. de Spira of 1470, and find a perfect confor- 
mity between them : at the same time, I have found frequent discre- 
pancies between this text and that of Bertholomsus de Valdezocho 
of 14712. There are neither signatures, numerals^ nor catchwords : a

full page (as on the recto of the sixth leaf) containing forty lines. On 
the recto of the 130th and last leaf, being the two last lines of the 
page, the colophon is thus :

This copy, from the Caabaxo Collection, was in a very wretched 
condition ; but it has been made sound, and comparatiy^y detiraUe, 
by the skill of C. Lewis. In red morocco binding. 

280. Petrarcha. Sonetti e Trionfi. Printed 
by Arnoldus de Bruxella. 1477. In small 
Folio. 

This copy, of one of the rarest of the editions of Petrarch •— imper- 
fectly described by Giustiniani, p. 60, and yet more briefly by Bnmet — 
is unfortunately imperfect ; wanting the first leaf, the ninth, ISlst, 
132d, and ISSd of the Sonnets— being the last but three of their ter- 
mination. The colophon, in seven lines, is on the reverse of the 136th 
leaf. Then the memorandum by Petrarch relating to Laura— one 
leaf: the Triumphs follow, thus : 

Incipinnt triumphi Francisci 
Petrarche poete clarissimi : 

Triumpho dellamore. I. 

EL TEMPO CHE RINNOVA 
" imiei sospiri 
per la doice memoria di quel giorno 
che fu principio a si luDghi martiri. 

&e. &c. &c. 

The twenty-fourth and thirty-first leaves are also wanting in the 
Triumphs : in the whole, seven leaves wanting. The Triumphs end 
on the reverse of the 173d leaf, supposing the copy to be complete. 
The colophon is thus :

Laureati Impress! Neapoli Anno • M CCCC .

very commencement of the typographic art. The title, to the first

In the account of the tecond edition of this work in 1500> (see B\bl.

ing only six leaves. The colophon is on the recto of I vj. The

300. Sallustiu3. Printed by Eustacius Galhui. 
Brescia. 1475. Folio. 

The present is a fine, large, genuine copy, of probably one of the 
very rarest early folio impressions of the author in existence. It is 
evident that Panzer (vol. i. p. S44) relied entirely upon Denis, p. 54 : 
adding ^' Editio a nemine adhuc excitata . An ?" Brunet, vol. iii. p. 
1279^ seems to be equally unsatisfiictory — and, in part, erroneous; as 
he says the volume has 108 leaves, whereas it has only fifty-three. 
That the text is not a literal copy from that of the Editio princeps of 
Spira, in 1470, may be discovered on travelling no further than 
the fourth line : as '' omnis nostra vis ** are printed^ here, instead 
of '' nostra omnis vis, " as in the former. This precious book is printed 
in a handsome tall roman letter, without numerals, signatures, or 
catchwords : a full page containing thirty-five lines. The text of the 
Catiline Conspiracy begins on the reverse of the first leaf, and ends on 
the reverse of the eighteenth leaf : when, ^beneath the seventeenth 
line, we read 

Explicit Catilinarius Salustii. 

The Jugurthine War follows on the recto of the ensuing leaf. The 
colophon is on the reverse of the fifty-third leaf, from the beginning 
of the volume, thus : 

EXPLICIT SALVSTIVS De bello lugurtino per me Eu- 
stacift gallum Brixiae foeliciter impssus die xxvi Augusti.

Large as this copy is, some former possessor has been adding printed 
signatures, very clumsily, of which a part are cut away in the bind- 
ing—in russia. 

301. Sanctorum Vita. Germamce. Printed 
by G. Zeiner. Augsburg. 147L Folio. 

This copy wants a leaf or two of the Table 1 and is, in other re- 
spects, although dean and sound, in a very cropt condition. There are 
small wood cuts, throughout ; in a delicate outline. Perhaps they are 
the^earliest which illustrate this work. On the recto of the last leaf.

beneath the words ** Deo Gratias,*' is the following colophon in seven

806. Sequentije et Hymni. Printed at ZwoU,

This book (unknown to Panzer) bears every mark of the produc- 
tion of a Low Country press. The type is a tall, scraggy, gothic — » 
between that of Ketelaer and de Lempt, and the work entitled '' Svi* 
gularia iMdovid de Romd/' of which the reader may see a very parti- 
cular account in the Bibliogrcph, Decameron, vol. i. p. 359-361. The 
copy before me begins thus, on the recto of oa i ; it being evidently a 
portion of a volume, containing other tracts.

This edition has precisely the same characteristic cuts, as those to

pp. 11-1 6 of the iv.th volume of this work. The present is a remark-

309 Speculum Humane Salvationis. IolU 
Printed in part with Wooden Blocks.. Folio. 

I have before gone so fully iBto the luatory of this work — as con- 
nected with what is supposed to be the first edition of it^ in the Dutch 
language— that little remains to be said of it here^ except that the 
present seems to be the^f^ of the Latin impressions. A probeme, 
containing a list of the subjects^ or chapters, occupies the first five 
pages : printed only on one side of the leaf— in the whole« five leaves. 
The text, ^pon these leaves is printed in a character predtely resem- 
bling that of the Cato of which a &c^imile appears in the BibL Spencer, 
vol. iv. 476, except that the original has a squarer and sharper aspect 
— and is undoubtedly meUd type. The ink is jet-black. We now

310. Speculum Human-® Salyationis. Hol-

This is a desirable little volume to possess, as forming part of 
the series of books published upon this subject. The present edi- 
tion is noticed by Heaeken, at p. 457, of his Id^, %ac. ; and he 
conceives that these are the very blocks, cut in two la i3» middle, 
which served for the edition described in the iv.th volume of this 
workj but I have great doubts about the accuracy of this supposition; 
although the subjects seem to be in general pretty fidthfully copied 
from t|iose of the edition in question. The type has a strong Caxto*-

The Editor 'waa PaoninuSj who has here given us a new version of 
the sacred text *^the Old Testament from the Hebrew. The title 
page bears date 1528. The title is full and explicit. Thirty leaves of 
pre&itory matter^ on signatures a, b^ c, and d^ precede the Sacred 
text :— • when the leaves are regularly numbered^ and the notification 
of verses placed in Arabic numerals in the mar^. The Old Testa- 
ment contains 355 leaves : followed by a blank leaf, and a table of the 
chapters of verses in St. Matthew*s Gospel, on one leaf: which, in 
hci is fol. 1 and a i. The New Testament contains ninety-eight 
leaves. The colophon is thus :
