152. Catullus. Tibullus. Propertius. Printed
hy Andreas de Paltascichis. Venice. 1488.
Folio.
Tlie best aceount which I have been able to discover of tliis inte-
resting impression of the texts of these poets, with the Commentary
of Parthenius, is in Braun’s Not. Hist. Litt. pt. ii. p. 154-5: —
not, however, of sufficient importanee to render the ensuing descrip-
tion unnecessary. On the recto of the first leaf, sign. a ii. we
have 58 hexameter and pentameter verses of Bernardinus Veronensis
to Baptista Ursino; followed by 2 pages of the life of the poet
Tibullus. The text of Tibullus succeeds, surrounded by a most
copious commentary; which, in the same very plentiful manner,
surrounds the texts of Catullus and Propertius. On the recto of
f vj (in eights) Tibullus ends; having a colophon purportijag it to
be concluded printing January xvmth 1487- The reverse is blank;
as is the recto of the following leaf. Then comes Catullus, having
3 pages of introductory matter, and beginning on the recto of
sign. g iii. The text of this poet concludes on the reverse of sign. m
x, without any imprint: from the Register, we learn tliat g h i and 1
are in eiglits—and k and m in ten leaves. A blank leaf ensues. Then
a preface of Anthonius Volscus, on sign. A ii, rect. Tlie poetry of
Propertius begins on the recto of the following leaf, and concludes on
the recto of K viij, thus :
Thamyras ad lectorem.
Quisquis ab insano nimium cruciatur amore :
Aut perdit stabili tempora longa fide :
Hos legat ardentes animo trepidante calores :
Fundere quos captis dura puella solet:
Discat Sc hinc noctem felici ludere cantu:
Quidue ferat misero facta repulsa grauis :
Sceptraq; perfugiat: caeci imperiosa tyranni:
Nam lachrymans teneo quod sit amare malu.
Praeterea haud dubium cui<| sit: posse properti
Noscere quod falso pectore cartha tulit:
