THEOLOGY.
[Pscilrn. Quinq.
sarne cliaracters appear in an edition of Sidonius Apollinaris, rnen-
tioned in Count Reviczky’s catalogue; in one of Cornelius Gallus,
under tlie name of Maximianus; in one of Vegetius under that of
Flavius Vedatus Renatus ; and in another of the Rape of Proserpine
by Claudian, in a dramatic form. All the preceding are without dates
or signatures. The only book which has come to my knowledge,
bearing the names of Ketelaer and Leenipt, is (Petri Comestoris)
Secunda Pars Historicae Scolasticse, with the following subscription,
‘ Jmpresjsa itt trajecto mferiori per ^agtotroo jftgcolaum fiAetelaer et <ffif>e*
rartmm tie Leempt. M 0.CCCC°.LXXII1 0.’
It only remains to remark, that this edition is printed in long lines,
without signatui’es, numerals, or eatchwards. The present is a very
fine copy, having rough leaves. It is bound in blue morocco, with
the ‘ Defensorium fidei contra iudeos hereticos,’ &c. printed in tlie
same character.
82. Chrysostomus. Super Psalmo Quinqua-
gesimo. Printed hy Ulric Zel. Cologne. 1466.
Quarto.
This is one of the most valuable books, in a bibliographical point of
view, in the present magnificent collection. Its scarcity is extreme;
and as it came from a monastery at Ratisbon, and is the identical
volume described by Seemiller in one of his letters to Panzer, it may be
questioned whetlier there be two other copies of it in existence.* It
is also exceedingly precious as ascertaining, with complete certainty,
that Ulric Zel exercised the art of printing at Cologne, as early as
the year 1466: so tliat La Serna Santander, had he seen the present
copy, need not have hesitated about fixing the period of the earliest
known production of the Cologne Press. Panzer, Annal. Typog. vol. iv.
p. 27L had supplied the French bibliographer with his account of this
impression; but whether Seemiller, who sent Panzer a description of
it, was erroneous, or Panzer himself copied Seemiller’s description in-
accurately, is uncertain. Thus much is unquestionable ; that the colo-
phon of this work, as it stands in the Annal. Typog. vol. iv. p. 271, is
incorrect in a xnost material omission: as the word ‘ geyasestmo,’
which, in the original, is regularly placed between ‘ quaTnincenteoimo ’
* A copy was sold by auction, at Paris, in December 1811: See Calalogue des Livres
rares, precieux, et bien conditionnes du Cabinet de M' • •, par J. Ch; Brunet Fils. lSli,
