ANCIENT CLASSICS. [Venice; 1472.

de uiris illustribus iprimedum curare, &c. A table of 2 leaves begins
on the recto of the 2nd leaf. In the whole, 35 leaves. On the recto
of the 36th at bottom :

It may be worth briefly noticing, that De Bure gives no account of
the early editions of Aurelius Victor, and that Panzer is exceed-
ingly laconic in his description of only two ancient impressions of this
author: of whom it must be confessed, that his biography is hardly
deserving of much curious disquisition respecting the earliest printed
texts of it. The present impression, from its general aspect, is probably
the production of a Venetian printer. Neat, in red morocco.
133. Ausonius. (with Cabphurnius, &c.) Venice.
1472. Folio.
One of the very scarcest among the editiones principes of ancient
classics. De Bure contented himself with Maittaire’s description of it,
not being able to discover a copy among the collections at Paris; and
La Serna Santander has not supplied the deficiencies of De Bure.
The reverse of the first leaf is entirely filled with an address to the
reader, printed in capital letters, and beginning thus.
