PREFACE. 



Fo R the fourth and last time I present myself to the 
Public, as connected with the magnificent Library, 
the treasures of which are in part disclosed in the 
present and six preceding volumes. Tlie Noble Owner 
of these treasures might have been well satisfied in 
setting all competition at (icfiance, even before he had 
made himself master of the Collection, whicli now, 
under the title of the Cassano Library, for tiic first 
time,* claims the public attention. But his zeal, taste, 
and lil)cral 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 offer, 
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 purchtise of his own (the Duke's) Col- 
lection. Such a proposition, although sufficiently

tempting of itself, would not have been complied witii, 
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 Libraiy contained 
the far-famed, and long-desired, edition of HoRACB, 
printed at Naples in 1471, by Amoldus de BruxeUa.* 
As there is no other known copy of this extraordinary 
book, its acquisition way be considered of the very first 
importance. 

But the earlier productions of the Neapolitan Press 
included also another important edition of a Classic, 
of hardly less nirity and value: namely, that of 
Terence, printed by Riessmger, without date, but pro- 
bably not later than 1471. 'f' Of this impression^ there 
18 not only ao other copy in this country^ but the only 
known copy of it abroad, which was inspected by me, 
at Stuttgart^ is imperfect. ITie other works, printed 
by Riessinger and Amoldns de Bmxella, and to bo 
found in this collection, are also of considerable con- 
sequence; especially as relating to the early laws and 
customs of the kingdoms of SIdly and Naples.| The 
productions of Biessinger were usually edited by 'FhMi- 
€uco Tuppo, a man of acknowledged celebrity ; and 
whose edition of ifisop (described in the third and 
following pages) is yet one of the rarest and most desi- 
• rable Tolnmes of the fifteenth century. But the PAi- 
locoh of BoccACcro, of the date of 1478, || is perhaps

the rarest specimen of their united labours. Nor is 
the Petrarch of 1477, printed by Arnoldus dc Bruc- 
ella * to be much less disting^uished for its rarity. 

The name of Moravus deservedly stands high in the 
early annals of the Neapolitan Press. The Duke's 
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 Dante, of the date of 1477,-f- 
may be especially noticejl. ITie greater number of the 
works printed in the Mmiasterif of S. Jacopo di RipoU. 
at Florence, will be also found described in the follow- 
ing pages ; while that exceedingly rare, if not unique, 
impression of the Decameron of Boccaccio, 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 Author, of the date 
of 1472, by a Florentine printer, who is supposed (but 
erroneously) to have been a descendant of Peter Schoi- 
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

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 Encflish 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 C;issano Collection, to the 
rare specimens of printing at Rome ; and among tliese, 
the edition of Juvenal, printed by Ulric Han in his 
smallest letter, and beyond a doubt the rdifio princeps 
of the author — claims the foremost place, both for 
intrinsic and extrinsic value.-f- It is the only coj)y 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 equtd 
rarity ; namely, that by Gering, without date (but 
probably not later than 1471) and that by Guldm- 
heck in 1474. X If, to such acquisitions, we add, not 
only all the other rare editions of the same poet, but 
ALL the rare editions of the other Roman Posts, (and 
particularly those of Firgil, Himue, and Ovid) it may

be fairly asked, in what collection, either existing, or 
as having: existed, will there be found such a series of 
the earlier and more precious editions of the Ancient 

Classics ? 

Rich as was the theological department, in the 
first volume of the JEdes Althorpianae, it will be found, 
on consulting the latter pages of the present volume, 
that the riches of that department have increased. 
And when the carefiil 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 tlie ensuing 
Collection exhibits the whole of the Cassano Library. 
A great number of rare and costly books was dis- 
posed of, by auction,* as comprehending duplicates 
of less desirable condition, while others were retained 
as being of a preferable condition. 

On thuB taking a final leave of these magnificent and 
truly precious prodnctions^ of which the deseription 
has occupied nearly tkm thamumd pages, (inolndlng 
the present or 7lli volume) I might be alknred to In- 
dulge a fiBeUng of no ordUiary or Irradonal 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-

the price of it rose suddenly, and unaccountably, much beyond that at 
which it was brought before the public. But, %vhcn the fourth 
Yolome appeared/ rendering it complete, as far as it wen^ with a

ation of nine years labour (more or less diversified, or 
interrupted) upon one work, of which I will fearlessly 
predict its duration for the ordinary limits of human 

Gbnkral Index, the price fell even oonsiderably below what was 
given for the three preceding %'olumes. I only state this fact — to be 
registered among " the Curhsifies of LUeraftirc "—without offering 
any other remark than what in above sabmitted. 

Among tke Ci Mdami , towUck to oopiaiu a biUiographicBl wwk

WNrth partieular mention) that vmttcn (ai I understand) bjr H. 
EnERT, Librarian of the Royal Library nt Dresden, is among the 
most elaborate and minute. 1 have never seen it j nor do I indeed 
know of its existence. But, from other specimens of M. Ebert's cri- 
tioal ddlU •boot tobe addaoed* I dio«14 anipeet it tobclii^ M 
portkm of ignorance of the Eog^Uh chaiacter, aa wdl as language* 
together with a plentifid sprinkling of personal malevolence.

Lexicon, in 4to. : which has continued in progress, and extended as £sr 
aa Aa word Vmmamm j^^ttat poitiim of It being recently pdbUdMd. 
Tliia work is doubtless entitled to very great praise, on the gKMmd 
of diligence and research : but when the author claimed for himself 
sometbint^like a total exemption from the errors with which he freely 
taxed his contemporaries, he necessarily provoked an examination into 
bis pretensions ; and a friend undertook * to point out a few errors in 
one artide only (AarHiTB) of Mr. Sbert*a si^posed fwiltlaii par- 
Jbnnance. Tb£ Gar man critic was not dow to retort. 

In the same Lexicon, where my humble performances are dttfy 
marshalled under the letter the Reviewer displays a pretty strong 
disposition to under-rate what comes under his notice. I can forgive 
his depreciation of the Bibliographical Decameron, because it is 
evident that be ia whoUy dimled of grapUeal taste, and impervioaa 
to the aalliea of bannkss mirth. Titlea and edlo|ihona an the eon-

therefore have been more to his liking; but even this work is coldly 
dismissed, although his references (and of course his obligations) to

The Duke di Gaaaano snppoaes both the work and this edil^ of it 
to be of extreme rarity. Foui, however, in his Bibl. Magi. voL 1. coL 
has a rery particular account of it. He says the work was called 
' the Eagle/ out of compliment to the »lescendants of the family of 
Julius Csesar. Ou cxamiuing it, I find large (quotations trum Dante ; 
and in the first chapter, sigtt. a iii, the authority of the Thesaurus of 
BruMtto Latino is quoted— 're^ectiag the rofal bud— 'Laqoihie lo 
piu ualente Vcodlo dd Moodo. Bt sola li aMo che ogni homo ne 
perde la uista.' Both Manni and ^laznchdU Mem to tiiink that this 
work was first jmhllshed by Alexander Faganinus, a printer, under the 
forged name of Arctln— 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 ctf Aretin ia formally introduced— and jet I 
do not remember to have aeen any notice of a more andent etftion 
than the present.* However this may be, adds the tame bibliographer, 
Hxe work is pronounced by Mazzuchelli to be unworthy of Aretin, and 
his name, in all probability, is fakoly attached to it. It is ao Italian 
version, by the author himself, of the Latin original.

I consider tiiis to be one of the voy nresk poetiod picoes in tiie 
ooUection of the Duke di Osassno. The Dake himself dismlssns it 

with a very brief notice, but suspects* witii great justice, the types to 
be those of Adam de Rotvil. On a comparisnn with the Italian ver- 
sion of Plutnrch's Lives, printed by the sume printer (vide post), 
these types appear to be precisely similar. They are round and ele- 
gant The present piece is dealitnte of numerals, signatures, and

used hii eecond-sized roman type : and we may from benoe infer, that 
all those works, which nre printed in the smaller type, resembling 
that of Uiric Iliin, were of a date not later than 1470. This In con- 
sequence gives additional value to the pieces of Riessinger which 
■le printed in nidi anaHeat type. Hie present type, impartially speak- 
ing* is ndther beantiM in form nor agreeeble to the eye ; iMingiVpap 
rently modelled upon the second size roman type of Ulric Han— who, 
in all probability, was Riessinper's master. These volumes are with- 
out Qumeral.s, signatures, or catchwords. On the recto of the last

This is one of the most beautiful octavo volumes in his Lordship's 
collection. It is ;i copy l j'ov vellum ; exhibiting such a spt-cinien of 
typography as cannot be eurpai^d. The vellum ia also of a soft quality 
and wliite tint« and the various ninminationa are as gemune as they 
are elegant* Unibrtanatdy* the whole of the lignatiire 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 disniisses it with the 
brief and pithy description of being ' a very fine copy upon vellum.' 
It seems, from Panzer's list^ vol. v. p. 114, that, among the nunjber- 
less impresskna of this oeldMrated work, there was a previous edition, 
by Ihe asme printer, of the date of 1488, in faHioi but no notice b 
there taken of the present impression. The first leaf is blank. A ca- 
lendar of 6 leaves follows. Tlien another bliuik leaf. The text of the 
work commences on the rrcto of the ennuinc: leaf, on signature a a,

Then a fresh portion of the work, on signatures A to II, in eights: 
the first leaf here beautifully illuminated, with u liirurc of our Saviour, 
naked to the middle, in tl^e water — the blood ilowing from his side. 
A third portion begins on A to U, In dgbta : a blank leaf fitrming the 
last of U. nieflrstleaf (A i) is here illuminated wUh a head of a

I em fidly of opinion with MoNlfi (JKU. PieeB. toL p. 316,) thai 
this is the nnsT edition of the Sonnets of Bnrchicllo, and that its 

date may be as early as 147-. Morelli compares the t}7>es with those 
of an edition of the Epistles and Gospels by the same printer (also in 
this Library) of 1472, and hcucc draws his concl^on. But in this 
copy, the types have even a shaipcr and newer hxdc tlian in the book, 
last mentioned. At any rate, it cannot be doubted that the present is 
the JNWWU text of all the subsequent ones of the poet. There are 
no numerals, sifrnatures, nor catchwords. On the recto of the first 
leaf, the iirst sonnet begins under five lines of capital letter. This 
first page huji 17 lines of text: the fuller pages have ^ lines. On 
tibe roTerse of the iist leaf there b a romdng title, tins. S8n t De .

1757. The colophon beloMcthis sonnet, is thus :

The only authority referred to by Fanzerj vol. ii. p. 161, no. 53, is 
Denis, p. 243, no. 1938 — where it is described in the usually com- 
pressed manner of that bibliographer. Tlie popularity of the work, to- 
gadier with the commodiousneM of the form, and beauty of ^ impia- 
aion« may account tor the rarity of the pfesent volume. The text of 
the author is in rmmaii, and that of the commentator in gothk. The 
latter styles himsdf ' monachus ClarevaUls/ and dedicates his labours 
to Petrus do Saluciis, 'a youth of an excellent and generous disposition.* 
The signatures, a to e, run in eights ; a i being blank. On the recto

A table of the contents is on the reverse of the first leaf. The text

text is in a clumsy, and closely printed roman type — which, at first 
giuce* nsembles aomewluit tiioae Tolumes of whidi tlie printer ie 
known by the peculiar conatnietion of flie cairital R: but in tiie vo- 
lume under description, no such peculiarity occurs. Wbttt* to ia 
very uncommon, the printer has introduced larger lower case roman 
cbaracters, in the body of the page, than the generality of the text is 
executed irith. The Duke di Cossano is right in differing from Audif- 
iredi rMpedlng the ^)propriadon of the tjppe to the press of Ulric 
Htuk. A loU page has 88 lines. There are nntiier numerals, signa*

55. CicERONis Episiol/E Fam. Qvjeb. Select. 
(Printed by Riessinger,) Without Date, ^c. 
Quarto. 

There 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 which the Phaiaris (vide post) is 
printed, and to wUdi laMer his name is eaqpressly subjoined. The 
tjpe .is the second roman, and snffieienfly harbarans: whidi makes 
me infer tliat Momnu had not, at this time, put forth aojr spedmen 
from his own press — otherwise, it is barely possible to suppose that 
Riessinger would have chosen such an indifferent character. An 
epistle of Petrus Bartolacius to Al varus de Cosma precedes the text. 
This IS dated ' Ifaplei, 1471/ tnm which the Dnko dl Cassano ddaka- 
flie book uns prMsd m the same year; an inference, by no means 
unquestiaooUe. I suspect Riessinger to have been a careless prilrter. 
Hi« contractions are doubtful: and we have 'exiquesita' for 'ex- 
quisita,' at the end of the epistolary address — and the words ' Marcus' 
and Marchus, as applied to Cicero, inunediately following each other.

Prmted hy Preller, Naples. 1496. Quarto. 

lliis is the first edition of the Municipal Laws of the City of Pa- 
termo. Hie Dnke dl Ounno rightly calls it 'a fare and beaollliillj 
printed book*— in a laige gothic type-^wery nmilar, on fint view« to 
the eadier printed books in Spain. The same authority supposes, also 
very correctly, that these laws were first made known to the public, 
through the Neapolitan press, in consequence of the want of a press at 
Falermo. It is true that Panzer (vol. ii. p. 245), upon the authority 
of Maittaire— ond tiiia latter^ i^alii, 19011 tbat dMmigUorU BU, 
voL L-p. S55|^HMidoea a work, of the date of 1477* as harinigf issued 
from the Palermo press : but this is not to be relied upon — for why 
should no other book have issued from the same press in the x^-th 
century ? The Padre Stcrzinger, a bibUog^phical friend of the Duke 
di Cassano, has been led astray by the same authorities— but observes 
the DidWi— 'after the strictest search and enqoiries, both in pnUic 
and pflTate librariei^ I have not been able to find any hook printed 
either by Andreaa de Wonnada (the supposed printer of the supposed

examinatfon of the lower-case m and h win alone prove to the con-

at Venice; a conjecture, whieh may be supposed to be confirmed by 
the six p!ij:^es of hexameter Latin verses at the end, in praise of that 
city. The present copy unfortunately wauta two leaves out of the six, 
of the table, with which the hn^ead«Mi commences. On the ensuing

Tliia edition i» beautifully printed in a fine, large, round roman 
type, upon paper of the most delicate tint and manufacture : but the 
present copy is ia indifferent condition. The first foiu* leaves (espe- 
cially the ihiid) are of a aombre tint, and inlaid, and a worm has 
committed sad ravages upon some tenor a dozen of the last 33 leaves. 
The last three leares are aJao iobid. But a more aerknis source of 
fz:rie\ .ince belongs to it ; as signatures n ii and n pii are duplicates j 
and have been substilutvd for ou and o vii — whirh latter are here 
wanting. The copy i^, in other respects, unsiiilfully ruled, and 
WKnewliat damaged in the inner margin.

84. Gafori, Frakcisci, Theoricum opus Mu- 
8ICE DI8CIPLIKB. Printed 5y Franeueiu di 
JDino, Naples* 1480. Quarto. 

The Uuke di Cassano has taken great pains in the description of 
this uncummon book, which he calls ' the first edition and of extreme 
taritj.* According to Lwre> voL i. p. S8* no. 86, Itluttaire Iim badly 
dcscribad it ; bat Herder, ia Us Suppkmeat to Bfarduund, p. 97, baa 
been comparatively copious -and particular. Panzer, vol. it. p. 146, 
no. 41, dw<>, not appear to liave ever seen it ; fOr he quotes the words 
' Theoricum opus Armomcit Disi ipiuuv, with a quaere whether they may 
not imply the same wurk : whereas, ilic truth is, these very words are 
printed in the colophon of this imprmion. The book containt three 
or foor wood-cute; of whidt the first, on the recto of the 17<h leaf, 
represents six men beating an unvil mth sledge hammers, a( cording 
to time : the numerals over the liammor* are too obscure to be distin- 
guished with accuracy, but the Ibur hist nm in this order : viii . vnij . 
xn . XVI . The text apjiears to t:\phiin it. The Duke di Ca.ssano 
calls this 'a fine arood««at'»-i^ut <iualifies his praise by addiug. ' I say 
'fine*— with reference lo the' period of its execution.' It is in laet 
snffidentljr nide, but curious. Tlie other cuts are chiefly diagrams, 
with an exception towards the end — which represents a man sittinj:^ 
and playing ut>un an instniment like un org;an : which cut I remember 
to have seen in some other early jiublicutiun. 

The iospressioii begins oa the reverse of the first leaf, with two 
paces of tsfale. On the reverse of the second leaf, the dedicatory 
address of the autlior to I. ArcimboidllS begins, and ends on the re- 
verse of the fourth leaf \ext rommences the text, ' De Effectibu$ 
ir Commendatwne Mwiice C^pituluin Priinum.' A full pa^e has 20 lines. 
There are neither numends, signatures, nor catchwords. In the 
whole, including a leaf of register, which IbDowa the colophon hi 7 
Snes, there are 14 leaves. In the ooiophoD, the printer is derignaled 
as a Florentine. Tlic author's conclnding address is in verse, tami- 
natiag thus :

established (m his own judgment) that ' this edition is copied from 
the 4to. Editio Princeps, corrected however with considerable care, 
and firom MSS. of no mean authority.' 

In ti^ edition, by A. deBmxella, tiiera is no prefiwe, so that It is 
not poiaihk to know esadly who was tiie Enifoa. If Ricsainger had 
been tiia printer, we slmnld have liad little hesitation in assigning that 
office to Tuppo, who was at any fate a akiliul juriaoonsult* if not an 
accomplished claMicol scholar. 

The present copy begins with the first ode to Mecenas : which, 
from tliepKlix alone, may be conaideied decisive that tiie NespoUtan 
impreadon is not a mere leprint of its preennors.

Editio PaiMCBPe. I perfectly assent to the opiniona af Fbaii and 

tile Duke di Cassano, that this edition— unknown to Audlffredi and 
P&nzer — 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'Eld at Florence, I appreliend the present to be the 
oaty copy known. Its rarity and valoe may be therefore easily i^^re- 
dated. It is true that Fossi, in his acoomt of this impression, (BiU. 
MagUabechi, vol. iii. col. 91-2) and in which he notices the Duke di 
Cassano's copy— now under <h'srription (but not ' anreis initialibus 
insigne')— refers to the opinions of some who have supposed that this

types of ttiat puiiiter were pmkd^ thoee used in tiie cerfier piceet of 
mrfc Han— nor can he dther confirm or refute this opinion from 

the want of collating the present book with one, printed with such 
typt's of Riessinper as are found in the present volume. This is sur- 
prising, from a man who bad the MagUabechi library at his command. 
However, plewiiMe es vbmj be the eigument in qiiestioii» I indine to 
Oiiik that flie preaent book wis in leet die pradaction of Ulrie Hn's 
pt eie — inasmuch as ft is n ckssical poet, aflerwaids reprinted by hiin» 
in his larger type ; and as Riessinger seldom or never used his earlier 
types on |>oetieai authors. These types have moreover so jierfect a 
resemblance to those of the Tusculan Question*, and the Art oj OrtUorjft 
printed by Ulric Hen in tlie years 14SB and 1409, that I make no 
aenqde in assigning at lewt die icrfertof theae dates to the iMpreMfcm

probably justified in calling this the nirest edition of the poet, of which 
we have any kiiowledtre. Yet, as it has been preceded by se\cral date-

repri^of aomepreviovae^tiQB. Ikat ft waa prhMed hf GaUittteek 
(aldioagh the Duke dl Oaaaano had aoRXMed it to have been a pro-

being precisely similar. On the recto of tlie first leaf, the text begins

From the wood-cut arabesque border, on the re^'erse of the third leaf, 
I ahonld have eospected it to liave been printed at Florence i but 
the oalophon fbHnds such an inference. Hue 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 Boshus, 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 oonstmction, whereby it may nut properly end as it does* 
The answer of Boasns followa on the enmdng leof, oocupyingS pages. 
Both letters are pleasing, and not uninteresting eompositions. On

a specimen of a J'elluin Moruciis, executed in the printer's hirgest go-

parison with the veDiun copy of ibie nmn nninoN of thie Miflfloly*

copious description than appears in his ms. catalogue before me. Au- 
diffredi caUs the impree^on ' rarior inter rarissimas.' An address of 
Fkanciscw Puteolaniis, tiie editor, to Cardinal Goncaga, precedes the 
life of Ovid, by the same hand. In the commencement of this address 
the former tells tlie latter, that he had lately caused the i>oems of Ovid 
to be revised an<i corrected, and etlited under the Cardinal's patro- 
nage.' (Quaire, docs any previons edition, printed at Ferrara, exist \ ) 
A life of Ovid foOowa^ on the recto of the second leaf« and ends on 
the recto of the third, with the date of 1476 heneath. The reverse is 
Uank. The Metamorphoses begin on the recto of the ensuing leaf, 
preceded by six hexameter and pentameter veiaes: of which the two 
last are as follow :

129. Petbabcha. Tbiompui. Col Com. di F. 
Philelpho. Printed by Andreas PortiUa, at 
Parma. 1473. Quarto. 

First impression of the Commentary of Philelphus, and considered 
to 'be the vimt book VBtimcD at Pabica. Panzer^ vol. ii. p. 350, if 
copions and itutnictive in hi» lefSerencea. The type ii neat Imd deli- 
cate, and apparently formed upon the model of Jensen's ; but it 
wants roundno"--^ nnd tjreater skilfulncss of execution. Tiie impres- 
sion begins with a prefix of 13 lines, beneath which are ir> lines. A 
full page has S8 liaee. There aie ndfher niinmals, ^i^natoieSf nor 
catchwords. On the reverse of the ISSd leaf (and not 340, a» Fuuer 
eimneoiulr states it) ia the following oidophon : 

Que condam totom 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 ia-copied, that I'aiucr liad

Pmaer, vol. ii. p. 388, is copious in his reference respecting this 
edition ; but De Bure, vol. vi. p. 4.3.S, almost su])i)lies the place of any 
other consultation. The chief remark, made by hiui, is, that the orna- 
mental frame work at the beginning of each life— and the centre of 
whieh la Uank— waa probabty intended as a border to ncdve theper>

Irait «f cadi iUttatrioos iikUvidiial, difloouraed of. De Bure once um • 
% co py wh ere these portraits were introduced by the pencil of the illu- 
minator—but mentions nothing about these [jortraits being printed. 
As DO copy has been found w^th them, as coming from the press, we 
may conclude that none fudi oiiti. In oOmt respects, De Bare pfO- 
mmnca this to be ' EdMon Hurt tare, et tite considevfe dei Curieioi.* 
The designation of the place where, and et the pcnoiM by irikom, 
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 
oopy le eomplete. He nya that ' four a^ante ksvai, eomaiiifaig a 
particular table should be found at the bcg^mdng of the volume ; and 
that this table is accompanied with n <;unuiiaiy extract %witten in Ita- 
lian verse, in praise of different great men,* &c. But here are four 
leaves, which precede the text, of which three contain the verses in 
question, and the fourth the UAU and imprmL-~n noticed by De 
Bore. It should follow, therefore, that the table and imprint form 
one leaf, and the Italian panegyrics three : and as no other Wves are 
specified by De Bure, as preceding the text, 1 take this copy — from the 
foregoing statement— to be quite perfect. The imprint, which is cor- 
rectly given by De Buie— ia as followa :

I presume the latter part of the imprint to mean, that the work waa 
printed nt tlic villa railed PoZ/wno, four miles from Verona. After the 
four leaves, just specified, the first booli of the text begins, with a pre- 
fix of five lines in capital letters. There are no signatures, till the

the "Moral Works of Seneca," printed fifteen years before — which

151. PoRCIUS HiERONIMUS. CoMMENT ARIUS, 

&c. Printed by Eucharius Silbcr. Rome, 
1493. Octavo. 

This is the most elegantly printed volume, which I remember to 
have examined, from the press of Eucharius Silber ; and the contents, 
to an historical Antiquary, are not a little interesting : for, they relate 
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 
Audiffredi 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 Jirtt part of 
the meditated performance of the author. In the 8th page of his 
Commentary — dedicated to Ferdinand and Isabella — or on the recto 
of the 16th leaf from the beginning of the text,— the author thus alludes 
to another work, of which he does not however mention the publica- 
tion : — " de eius familift: [sc. Roderici Borgise] ante continuata pro- 
rogatione ad hxc usque tempore, quod est mirabile dictu, meut de 
gentilium tiuptiarum riiu Ubelltu ct autentica documenta uctustissima 
tamen te facilius edocebunt," &c. 

It remains to describe the volume bibliographically. A prefix of 
IS lines and a half, in capital letters — in which the author styles him- 
self " Patritius Romanus Rota Priniarius Auditor" — is followed by four 
lines of text, on the recto of the first leaf. The text presents but a 
mall 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 
on«l handsome. An addre.s8 to Alexander \l. begins, on the recto of 
the 5th leaf, in the following complaisant manner : " Donarem Alex- 
ander Pontifex maxime tuK Sanctitati pateras : donarem tripodas : et 
dulcia munera r Sed non haec mihi uis non illi talium res est." The 
reverse of the 7th leaf is blank. On the recto of the 8th Ijegina the 
preface of the Commentary, addressed to Ferdinand and Isabella : 
and on the reverse of the 12th leaf begins the Commentary itself.

I consider this to be one of the most curious and intrinsically valu-

relies exclusively upon Maittaire, vol. i. 504-5, where it seems to be 
incorrectly described* as containing, in part, n French text, of tiie 
date (rf 1487, and » Latin tot of the above date. It is alao 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 piige.s exhibit the longest specimens. The names of the con- 
spirators, chiefly Ne^K>litau Princes and Noblemen, are set forth, on 
the second page. Asnfttvoorable specfanenof die Dukedi Cassano'a

same as those in the edition of Buckmck of 1478— unless indeed the 
four copies of it, which he saw, had those maps inserted : ^vhcrcas, in 
the copy before me, these maps are from voooden blocks, and those in 
Bnddndc'a edition are upon copper. Moreover, these mqps are pre* 
dsdjihe same as those of the Ulm editions of 1489 and 1466. The 
▼erjr type upon the rectos are similar, with the omissions of the ara- 
befl<iue borders Tliis observation is worth making, as Audiffredi, in 
censuring Lairc, tells us that " any boy might have discovered the 
maps of the two Ilomao editions to be the same." Not that that bib- 
Bographer could have been mistaken, bat that the copy, uuder des- 
cription, has net the maps which are in the Roman edition referred to

I differ wholly from the Duke di Cassano, who attributes this tracts 
to the press of A. de Bnixelia, from the general resemblance of the 
initial letters, aitd from the {'articular resemblaace of the characters 
to those of an edition of the Epistles of Datusj of the dtte of 147S, in 
the library of Si. Martin, at Falfermo. The Duke procured a hc- 
simile of this latter edition, which, although it appears not to boper- 
ticularly fuithful, is, in the formation of the capital A, alone, sufficient 
to warrant a different conclusion from his own. At the same time I

161. Samuelis Rabbi Epistola, &c. Jt^rinted

The present is certainly a very rare and curious little folio tract. 
The Duke di Cassano mentions the notice of an Italian version of it, 
by Brunetj vol. iii. 187, who assigns the same year to it, on the xviith 
of June. As the praent impni^n has onljr the doimnMol date, we 
are uncertain which has the priority. The work itself appean to 
have been concealed by the Jews for more than 230 years } and was 
translated into Latin in 1*2.39 : " from thence diligently amended by 
lohn Schallus, a Doctor of Arts, and printed by him at Mantua in 
1475." This is the chief purport of the colophon, which is on the 
recto of the 90th and laat leaf— occupying 16 fines.

likely, for the nccompliiihing of such an object, that four years should 
elapse between the compilation and promulgation of the Statutes in

the earliest book from the pran of Uliic Han, in the ehaiaeter in

This is;i Latin version by L. Arctin from the Italian of Boccaccio. 
A prefatory epUtle of the Translator to 8. Kutasolanus,* dated 1436, 
precedes the text. Ontlie rerene of the first leaf urn Uenk impres- 
doBof tbedevkcofFostiuidSelioefnier: «t the end of the text, there 

is the snnie device in red. The type is of the third and lai^st form 
used by the above printers — precisely simihir to that seen in the 
Bible of 1472. The page \s very narrow, and contains only 20 lines. 
There we neither nnmerab, signatures, nor catchwords. I consider 
flib trnet, seen bjnie fin- the first time, to be amongthe very scarcest 
from the press of the printer. There are only 12 leaves. The pap«r 
is of the uHiinlly excellent consistency and tone of colour — observ- 
able in the putilications from the eaurly Meotz press. This copy is 
sound and fair ; but it has been cut to an octavo form. Recently 
bound in purphs nutiocco. 

172. Thebaldeo da Ferrara. Opsre. With- 
cut Date cr Place, ' Quarto. 

There is some little difficulty in appropriating this edition. V»nwr, 
on the aothority of Audiffiredi, E^t. Ital. p. assigns the im> 

pression to the Brescia press ; antl Ixinl Spencer thinks, that, if it 
be printed there, it must be of a later period than that of the Lucre- 
tius, Juvenal, Ceccho d'Asooli, &c. as it hiis signatures. This is 
doabtleia true i and* from the appearance of the large loww case 
gotUe type, forming the tid«» I should suppoee the period of its cxecn* 
tion to be not earlier than 1490. Yet AudifTredi, .ifter notiring' the 
very slight and ini|)orfert mention of thi«i edition byHayni, Debure, 
Morelli, and Loire — as well as the total ignorance of it by Quadrio-^ 
heatattM whether it should be iNiiisidered as n Brescia publicadon. 
Hettinksit, however, probable that Uai^ be: from finding a copy 
of it in ^ Cosanatensian litnary, in an old binding, with some other 
tracts from the Brescia ]ire'i'< — to whieh it bore a strong resemblance. 

But the difficulty lies, in knowing whether this be really the im- 
pression noticed by AudifTredi — whose accuracy can never be queS'

179. TuRRECREMATA, I. DE, In PsALTERIUM. 

Printed by Schunler, Augsbaurg. Without 
Date, Folio. 

I have compared this edition with that of 1472, by the same printer, 
described in vol. vi. page 583, and find them both precisely siniibir, as 
ftr OS folio 20, reverse, where the present contains two additional 
wofdt — which shews Halt the press was re-set ; and the varying of 
Oe oontractlons, aad tlie extenrion of die last page of the woiIe — la 
tklso an additional confimation thai the present Is a fresh impression. 
If it were not foranis. memomndum — which in undoubfpilly coeval— 
I should sup(>o<«e this edition to be subsequent to tliat above referred 
to<->bttt this memorandum puts it out of all doubt tint it is an aaterior 
impression. It Is as follows. " liteM Ubfi emiU pr .^^iderteiit prior 
dam* tnoniisoitiKin^lonl. In SnalU Old Cot^UUim Amm dni 1471 pro vno 
flojf Benenf." There i-n also a ms. memorandum ;it the bi-i,'^inning, 
thus: J.t}>rr dmnus Carthiis'ur Snails. This edition <i)nl;iins. with that 
of 1472, 132 leaves. On the reverse of the last leaf (beneath the 
33d iloe,) is the IbUowiag oolopbon— bS lines : " bUmk d» lam- 
ermofa Cardiiuti* meH , flfarli ea^artter nSa^oH exfiaiuMo i pMlterii 
Jbdt p lokem seAmt^r due aug'. impua." The present very large, and 
fine copVi is among the choicest volumes obtuined from the Crissano 
Library. It has since been hanndsomely bound in dark green morocco.

L18TARVM. Prmied at Laugingen. 1473. 

Folio. 

This volume must in all respects be considered a curiosity ; as it is 
tiht only book liitherto known to hstve been printed at Lengingen. 
The type is a small irregular roman letter ; and there is a sort of semi- 
gothic look — ahotit the whole. The rapitul letters are peculiar ; and 
among them, the N, diftcnnj^ from the usual N, as may be seen 
within niue lines of the bottom of the second page. A full page con- 
tains tbirty-eeven lines. There are neither numerals^ signatures* nor 
catdiwords. In tlia whole, loy leaws ; tiie eoiophon being thws ■on 
<he reverse of tiie last leaf : 

Liber . Beati . Augustini . Yppooensis . Episcopi de Con- 
aenso euangelistanini . explicit felidter. la ciuitate

Panzer, vol i. p. 470, conjectures, somewluit whimsically, that this 
work was the performauce of some printer passing through the city 
of Laugingen j but this sopposes* dtlier that the printer travelled 
with apress» or that he feond themelnialsferprintuigatlMigingen 
— which latter is the more reasonable inference $ andj* 80» there are 
(ionbtless other books printed at the same place. The present is a 
very desirable copy, in blue morocco binding.

This is the second volume only, to complete the copy — which is 
so fully described in the Bibl. Spencer, vol. i. p. 202-4 ; and to which 
description I have here nothing to add, except a full belief that the 
work is from the press of KuriHger : although I am at a loss to know 
what the capital letters, I A. R V. can stand for. Hie malformation 
of the capital letter N betrays the press of Riessinger, and not that 
of TJlric 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
