This edition, from the time of Schelhorn to tlie present day, has
given rise to a good deal of discussion respecting the name of its sup-
posed printer. After a careful examination of what Audiffredi, De
Bure, and Braun, have said upon the subject, I incline to the opinion
of Fossi, in the Bibl. Magliabech. vol. ii. col. 43-4; in which it is ob-
served that the word e Adam’ subjoined to the colophon, is intended
neither for Adam Rot the Roman printer, nor for Adam de Ambergau
the Venetian printer, but for ‘ Adam Montaltus Genuensis;’ whom
Laire and Braun have hastily called Antony, and who was the author
of tlie verses against Antonius Raudensis. Fossi’s further observations
are corroborative of this conclusion; and he might have quoted the
instance of ‘ Leonardus Aurl,’ subjoined to the edition of Eusebius’s
Prseparatio Evangelica, as not designative of the printer of the edition.
Vide p. 199. ante. It remains to describe the volume.
