ANCIENT CLASSICS. \Vmice; 1480.

me Brute te hortate maxie ad ea studia: q
retenta animo : remissa teporiba : longo inter/
uallo intermissa reuocaui kc. 8cc.

This first page has 32 lines : a full one has 35 lines. The entire
volume comprehends 69 leaves. On tlie recto of the 69th leaf, at
bottom, is the colophon, thus :

Finiti sunt Libri Tullii Tusculanarum Questionum

Rome per Magrm Vlricum lian de wienna Anno dni

Mcccclxviiii Die uero Prima mensis Aprilis.

Altliough t.his edition is printed upon indifferent paper, and with a
blurred small roman type, it is executed with an attention to marginal
amplitude. Each of the three capital initials to the three books are
here tastefully supplied by the illuminator. There are, of course, (as
in almost all books previous to 1470, or even 1472,) neither numerals,
signatures, nor eatchwords. Bound in red morocco.

183. Cicero. Tuscuxanae QuuESTIones. Printed
hy Philip Quondam Petri. Penice. 1480.

The reader will of course find editions of this work, between the
date of the last and of the present one, in the impressions of the Opera
Philosophica, described in the ensuing pages. The edition before us
begins on the recto of the first leaf, under a tit.le in capital letters,
and having 33 lines beneath this title. On the reverse of i vij is the
colophon :

Marci tullii ciceronis tusculanarum qucestionum finis:

Impressarum uenetiis per pliilippum quondam petri:

anno .M.cccc.lxxx. die. xvi. setembris :

The recto of the opposite leaf is occupied by the Register. The sig-
natures run in eights, with the exception of a ; which has nine leaves.
Maittaire, vol. i. p. 413, note 11, has referred to Bibl. Hohendorf, p.
207 (n°. 1338) where the date and place only are mentioned, without
the name of the printer. Panzer, vol. iii. p. 155, refers justly to Bibl.
Hoblyn, vol. i. p. 220, and Cat. de la Valliere, vol. ii. n°. 2266; in which
latter authority the colophon is correctly given. The present is a
fair copy, in oid i’ed-morocco binding.
