This edition is printed in two columns, in a slender gothic character,
with considerable skill, and great attention to marginal beauty. It
has running titles, uniformly, on the rectos of the leaves; of which
latter there are, according to Masch, 460 in number. A full page con-
tains 52 lines. Masch says there is a copy of it upon vellum in the
Royal Library at Berlin, and another similar one in the Brunswick
collection. The present copy is of the same description. It was for-
merly Crevenna’s, and is described in the Bibl. Crevenn. edit. 1789, p.
22. n°. 73, as ‘Exemplaire incomparable, parfait k tous egards, de-
core au commencement d’une miniature, d’ornemens et de lettres
initiales en or et en couleurs, et relie par Derome le jeune a Paris.’
The description of the volume itself is comparatively superficial, being
a translation of that of Masch ; who adds, that the errors in tliis edi-
tion are not so numerous as in similar contemporaneous publications,
and that it is formed on the basis of Hailbrun’s of 1475 : see p. 24
ante. Bibl. Sacra; vol. iii. p. 124.
De Bure and La Serna Santander are brief in their descriptions.
* The first set of signatures has j after y; the same letter is after yy.
