EARLY BOOKS. That this book was printed on at least two presses, the second beginning with quire [pl, is made certain by the starting of a fresh section of text at this point and the sequence of the watermarks.

Those with assignable dates contain the wedge-shaped hyphen and (mostly) the 9 of the 1497 Imitatio Christi signed by Petri alone (IA. 27850); the other two contain neither hyphen nor 9 but the texts offer no occasion for their use. 194 X 130 mm. Bought in July, 1862.
SAVONAROLA, HIERONYMUS: Epistola con Italian translation of Filippo Cioni.) After June, 1497. Type: 81 G. Lombards. Hain 14453. At the beginning of his letter Savonarola speaks of excommuni¬', "catio quam proximis diebus iniustam esse monstrauimus'. This is", 'presumably a reference to his Epistola contro la scomunica nuova¬ mente fatta written on 19 June, 1497 (cf. IA. 27341, p. 651), which thus supplies a terminus post quem for the present tract. The', "latter deals mainly with Gerson's arguments on 'contemptus", "clauium'.

BOSSIUS, MARCUS. Contra delirantes qui The prior of Ognissanti at Florence at this date was Marcus Bossius, who is known to have written at least one other tract against Savonarola (cf. J. Schnitzer, Peter Delfin (1926), pp. 266,', "282. 356). The present tract was written after the latter's execu¬", 'cution, as it reproves those who attempted to collect his ashes. 221 X 145 mm.

A variant recension of the abridgement of the Life of s. Catharine by Raimundus de Vineis noted under J. A. de Honate, Milan, 1489 (IA. 26368). Here also the name of Raimundus remains in the the second prologue. This appears to be the first book printed at the Ripoli Press, apart from a Donatus, and cannot therefore be dated in the Floren- tine style. 212 X 155 mm. Without the blank.

The amount of copy required to fill the page is often miscalcu¬ lated, resulting in short pages (20b, 212, etc.), short last lines (7b. etc.) or catchword-like additions (222, etc.). This edition is recorded as on sale on 4 November, 1477. 186 x 129 mm. Capitals supplied in blue. Bought in July, 1863. IA. 27027.
FIOR DI VIRTU. The colophon shows that this is reprinted from one of the two editions printed nel Beretin Convento at Venice in 1474 and 1477 (p. 238). If its model is that of 1474 (IA. 20412), the date 1477 here given in the colophon must be that of printing, otherwise the date 23 October, 1477 of the second Venetian edition (IA. 20424) supplies a terminus post quem only. The alterations in type 117 R. made in this book presumably preclude its being earlier than the concluding months of the year 1477, but two editions of the Fior di virtù are recorded for the year 1483, the later, finished by 2; September, being printed on paper watermarked with a cross, and as this is the watermark found in the present book, it may perhaps represent a revival in 1483 of type 117 R. slightly modified. The present book is Reichling 180, while Hain 7100 apparently records another reprint of the same nature. 206 X 140 mm. The last sheet is bound with the blank preceding the table of chapters, but this order is unlikely and has therefore not been adopted in the collation above. Bought in March, 1906. IA. 27030.

RICCIUS, JACOBUS. Obiectiones super Logi As the date of this book appears to be otherwise quite uncertain, it is worth noting that one of its watermarks, an outspread hand, is also found in the Maimonides attributed to 1481 above (IA. 27063) while the other, a cross in a circle, may be that found in the Perottus of the same year (IA. 27064), also that on 11 May, 1481, the Press paid 15 soldi to a goldsmith per tre puntelli ci fecie per', "la lettera minuta et uno per la grossa', a distinction which would", 'well apply to the type of this book if in use together with type 105 R.

The above description applies to what appears to be the con¬ dition of this book when first published. In many copies the following title is printed in red on 12: "GEOGRAPHIA DI FRANCESCO BERLINGHIERI FIORENTINO IN TERZA RIMA ET LINGVA TOSCANA DIISTINCTA CON LE SVE TAVO LE IN VARII SITI ET PROVINCIE SECONDO LA GEOGRAPHIA ET DISTINctione dele tauole di', "Ptolomeo. Cum gratia z Priuilegio.', while on 126e is printed a", "register in 3 columns, followed by the colophon: 'Impresso in¬", 'firenze per Nicolo Todescho & emendato con somma dili gentia', "dallo auctore.' The title, in which one gothic and three roman", 'founts are employed, is certainly later than 1500, and the matter on the last page is apparently printed with the smallest roman found on the title. Probably both additions were made about the same time, the title being an afterthought, as it does not appear in all the copies furnished with the register and colophon. The register directs the maps to be inserted in groups immediately after the books of the text which they illustrate, the first group starting after the end of lib. ii, i. e. between quires dd and ee. The text of lib. iv ends with l. 16 of col. 1 on 812 (b 72), the remainder of the page being occupied with the beginning of the gazetteer to Africa, which extends from 812 to 83b. This gazetteer is printed with type 115 Rb., and the inking on 812 shows that it was separately struck off, leaves 82, 83 forming a single sheet inserted between the last two leaves of the quaternion b. It is evident that the gazetteers, none of which are printed with type 115 Ra., were either not contemplated or not ready when the printing of the tex was first put in hand. This is the first edition of any part of the work of Ptolemy in which gazetteers are supplied. The maps were probably founded upon those in the Ptolem, printed by Buckink at Rome in 1478 (IC. 18252, p. 78), but differ', "in many details. The modern' maps of Spain, France, Italy and", 'Palestine are here found for the first time, and probably suggested the similar maps added to the Ptolemy printed by Holle at Ulm in 1482 (IC. 9306, vol. ii, p. 538). In a ms. letter prefixed to a copy of this book presented to the Turkish Prince Jem in 1484 the author remarks that his work was originally dedicated to Sultan Mohammed II, who died about the same time [viz. 3 May, 1481), and then re-dedicated to Federigo, Duke of Urbino, who also died almost immediately viz. 10 September, 1482). These dates agree well with the types used, which suggest a date about 1480/81 for the body of the text and one in 1482 for the first leaves, including the dedication to Duke', "Federigo. Ficino's apologus to the Duke on 3° is inserted", 'between letters of 6 February, 1481/2, and 9 May, 1482, in his collected Epistolae (lib. vii, fol. cxxxviiie of the 1495 edition). It is scarcely possible that a dedication to the Sultan should ever have been printed ; in the actual copy presented to him it is in ms. See E. Jacobs, Zur Datierung von Berlinghieris Geographia, to left occurs here and there. In type 115 RP. only separate Q is found. The headline on 81° and 82b reads LIBER SEXTVS, by error', "for 'quartus .

Imperfect, wanting the last leaf con- taining the register. Bound in two volumes, the second beginning with quire A (lib. xx). From the library of the Duke of Sussex. Bought in November, 1844. IB. 27129.
ANTONIO DA RIETI. Rivelazione che 117 mm. in height, appears to contain elements from 113 R. as well as 114 R., but the extremely bad presswork renders its classifi- cation uncertain. Possibly it is the work of a journeyman using type discarded by Laurentii. 208 X 143 mm. Bought in November, 1850.

Sheet d 3 is printed with Di Libri 114 R? (P. 21 (with tilted Q only). This book was catalogued among the Italian adespota by Proctor (no. 7417), with the note : probably Firenze, c. 1485. As it is the only book under the present heading which possesses printed capitals, it was perhaps not printed by Laurentii himself. 206 X 132 mm. Imperfect, wanting the first sheet of quire f, also the blanks. Bought in April, 1847. IA. 27131.
ANTONINUS. Confessionale Omnis morta¬ Of the same recension as IA. 27025 (Ripoli, 1477) and no doubt reprinted from it. The watermark of this book, a triple mound surmounted by a cross, is the same as that found in the Augustinus, Logica, printed at the Ripoli Press in the early part of 1480 (IA. 27055), and renders practically certain the interpretation of the year-date as 1479/80. 194 X 136 mm.

The ascription of this book to Chiarini appears to derive from Fossi, who possessed a ms. copy indicating Giorgio di Lo.', "Chiarini' as the author (Magliabecchi Catalogue, i, col. 516).

Lucrezia Tornabuoni, at whose desire this book was printed died in March, 1482, and as she is spoken of as dead near the end of the poem (ff 3°, col. 1, stanza 4) the date of printing must be read in the Florentine style. This is the first edition of the complete text, but the first 23 cantos were printed at Venice by Lucas Dominici on 26 February, 1481 Ji.e. 1481/2?

Imperfect, wanting the first and the last leaf. A note by Grenville shows that this was the Pinelli copy (sold in 1789 for 165.), and that the twe last leaves, which it wanted, were made up from another imperfect copy bought from Audin de Rians at Florence in 1830. The first quire, however, appears to be also made up, on the evidence of the watermarks. Grenville copy (G. 10834). IB. 27146.

In Equum This edition follows that of Vindelinus de Spira, Venice, 1472 (IB. 19550, vol. v, p. 161) fairly closely in the setting-up, Propertius and parts of the other works being reprinted page for page, and the works are therefore here described in the same order The signatures are placed far down in the right-hand corner of', "the page. Those of Tibullus have not survived the binder's knife", 'in any copy hitherto described, and their alphabet therefore remains conjectural. The tall division-mark found in the preceding occurs also here and flat-topped 3 is common. The watermarks of this and the following book, a rosette and : twig with two acorns, are those found in the Ovid of June, 1475 (IB. 26109), and frequently occur in early Milanese incunabula. See also the Introduction. Proctor catalogued this book among the work of De Colonia and Manthen at Venice (no. 4303, type 7). 280 X 180 mm. Signatures cut away, except a few in Propertius.

The signatures are placed low down in the right-hand corner of the page. Those of quire C are cut away in this copy. The presence of flat-topped 3 in this book precludes the accep- tance of the printed month-date in its ordinary signification. Pos¬ sibly it was intended to stand for 1 January, 1476, after the official Roman method of reckoning, but it may be no more than a remi¬', "niscence of Philelphus' original dating of his tract ' Ex Mediolanc", 'anno a natali christiano millesimo quadringentesimo sexagesimo', "primo. viii. kalendas lanuarias'. In the prefatory letter written in", 'June, 1481, to the collected edition of his Orationes, etc. (IA. 26527) Philelphus writes that he has included the Consolatio in this volume quoniam quae antea fuerat Mediolani ab aliis quibusdam impressa¬ is a possibility that he is here referring to the present edition, that issued * Mediolani 1476 (Hain 12961) resting only on the authority of a mention in Apostolo Zeno, Dissertazioni Vossiane, vol. i p. 297.

In both copies quire v (containing the table) is printed on the unwatermarked paper, and so is sheet a 5, suggesting that the whole original stock of this sheet met with an accident.

The sixth leaf of the second quinternion is signed C and the first leaf of the quaternion following it is signed C 3, these quires being otherwise unmarked.

From the beginning of the text to L 4° (sicut nec amnici pisces and again from L52 (quidem torrente pruinis caret) to the end the page-contents of this edition agree with those of the edition sine nota catalogued among the doubtful productions of Schurener at Rome (IA. 17772, vol. iv, p. 59). The present edition has printed chapter headings where the Roman edition leaves blanks, and it is therefore no doubt the later of the two, but the printer appears to have had great difficulty in keeping to his model, as the last line of many pages is short or spaced out. This, however, may be partly due to the fact that the text preferred by Mombritius is of a quite different recension, with the dedication to Adventus beginning', "Quoniam quidam impatientius' (1b, 22) taking the place of", "that beginning ' Cum et aurium clementia' found in the Roman", 'edition, and with a table of contents (22-6b) of 57 instead of 50 sections. Quire O continues the text from the end of L 4° with the words in', "stagnum transeunt' and is itself continued on L 52, thus fitting into", 'the inmost opening of quire L. The number of lines to the page in quire O varies between 22 and 28, the irregularities being apparently due to an unsuccessful attempt by the printer to save a sheet ; for errors of imposition see above. On O 8° is a blind impression of', "the heading ' De Ora pontica. on O 7b.", 'The declaration of Mombritius on 12 that this work is his', "primitiae' cannot refer to the edition, since the Paulus Venetus,", 'Logica, completed by Valdarfer on 14 December, 1474 (Hain 12500), and revised by Mombritius, as well as the Hesiod trans¬ lated by Mombritius and printed at Ferrara by Belfortis in 1474 (IA. 25611), are earlier than the present book can be. The absence of all the peculiar contractions found in the Augusti¬ nus and of the rough hyphen found in the Dertonensis, together with the sharpness, as in a fresh cast, of the type, suggest for this book a date intermediate between the others. 195X 139 mm.

or The first six quires are largely on folio paper, watermarked with a bell hanging from an object of horseshoe shape or with a crown. The rest of the book is quarto. On 55° (n 72) sixteen lines of type used as furniture have been printed out by error. The first nine lines (vaipeouy . .. jcrio) are an entirely different setting-up of matter printed in its right place on y 12, l. 28-1 1°, 1.2, the remainder (j é r... gyov oa rjv) is a different setting-up, with the same line-contents but a number of misprints, of Il. 2-8 of 1 82. This volume is ranged with the Isocrates for convenience. As the three tracts constituting it have the same measurements, were evidently in hand simultaneously, and are usually found between the same covers, they have been here catalogued together. Proctor, who originally attributed them to the press of Bonus Accursius, set them out separately (nos. 5968-70). The attempted use of the capitals of the type suggests that they are earlier than the Iso¬ crates ; on the other hand, the type-page is of the full breadth throughout. The third tract is by Gregorius [Pardus] Corinthius, its title being wrongly given in the printed heading. 282 X 197 mm.

It is reasonable to suppose that this was an immediate answer to an edition of the De homine itself, which must in that case be the one here catalogued, the other early undated edition (Proctor no. 7356) having been printed by De Comitibus at Venice in or about 1472 (IB. 19817). A date for the present book prior to that of the Johannina is suggested by the state of the type, which is quite free from semi-gothic admixtures. 267 X 192 mm.

This is confirmed by the appearance on 49e of the later form of Qu, which is used throughout the Albertus Magnus of May, 1476 (IA. 29374). On the other hand, Arnaldus, in spite of his mention of the Incarnation, undoubtedly reckons by the ordinary style in his Petrarch, the', "two parts of which were completed respectively ' Regnante Ferdi-", 'nando ...
