It may be worth remarking, that the present collection contains acopy of
every one of these works printed by Sweyuheym and Pannartz, with the ex-
ception of the first article, and the Epistles of St. Jerom in 1470.

The question remaining to bediscussed is, how many copies of the above Work were
printed? The printers themselves affix the roman numerals of MC. to the specification of
it: which, ifthis number be divided by 5, as Schelhorn and Laire have done, itassigns 220
copies only to the impression. On the other hand, Audiffredi, superciliously calling the
VOL. I.
