when he asserts, (vol. i. p. 69; iii. p. 521) that there are copies with the
imprint of 1498. See the Introd. to tlie Classics, vol. i. p. 158; where,
however, it is necessary to correct a mistake in describing the present

the Blenheim and IVPCarthy colleetions are printed in this manner;
and of these, Audiffredi has made no mention. There are probably
few copies, upon paper, which are more beautiful than the present
one. Bound in red morocco.
