Then follows the ‘Encomium Estiatori’, in the form of a dialogue
between Timocrates and Athenaeus; having, on the reverse, the com-
mencement of the first book. The pages are numbered at top with the
Greek « prefixed. At page « 20, (falsely numbered 22) commences
the second book, which terminates on the reverse of B 9 at page « 38.
The third book is renumbered (p.) 1, on sign. a; and the paginary
numbers then continue regularly to the end of the volume at p. 294;
where we read

are corrected ; and to add the following correct description.

A preface of 4 leaves and a half, or 9 pages, precedes the body of the
work. The rev. of the 5th leaf is blank. On the recto of the 6th leaf,
the 1st book begins with ‘ [P]Lutarchus in libro que,’ &c. without
any prefix. This page is here elegantly illuminated. A quantity of
Greek is in the 3d page of the work, not very unlike the Subiaco
Greek type, but somewhat sharper, as a comparison between the fac-
simile at p. 206, ante and tlie following one, may prove:
