in the large lower-case letter, upon the recto of the first leaf, thus :

There is, above, an old ms. date of ‘ 1466 Argent..’ similar to a date at
the end of St. Austin de arte praedicandi in the Cracherode Collection.

Prefixed, is the epistle of the Bishop of Aleria, beginning thus :
Io. An. Episcopi Alerieii. ad Paulum. II. Yenetum
Pon. Max. in epistolas Diui Oypriani. Epistola.
It is justly observed by AudifFredi that, frorn the tenor of this pre-
fatory epistle, it appears that the present work was finished before the
Latin Bible of 1471, on account of the want of paper of a sufficient
size for the completion of this latter publication. [‘ quoniam carta
maior illos defecerat: ne officinEe eorum uacarent: quod nunquam
fit absque ingenti artis dispendio: aliquod minoris voluminis opus
illis commodum expedirem.’ are the editor’s own words.] The Epistle
of the Bishop of Aleria occupies three pages and a half. A table follows,
ending on the reverse of the 3d leaf, or 6th page from the beginning.
On the recto of the 4th leaf,
Incipiunt epistole Cecilii Cypriani ad Cornelium
Papam. Et prima de confessione. feliciter.
