346 ANCIENT CLASSICS. {Orat. Philip.

The colophon is beneath ;

Then, one leaf of an address of Ludovicus Regius to A. Maphaeus, and
a leaf of corrigenda. Signatures in eights according to register.

Audiffredi has a brief notiee of this edition, which is worth consult-
ing; and in which he observes that Laire is wrong in supposing this
to be the first book published at Rome, which contains a list of Errata.
See Edit. Rom. p. 296; ineorrectly printed 295 in Panzer, vol. ii. p. 499.
Other authorities are not deserving of examination. The present is
an handsome copy, in old green morocco binding.

Editio Princeps. This work is placed in the present order—namely,
before the Rhetorica and the entire Orations of Cicero—because
there is the strongest reason to conelude that it was an anterior publi-
cation to the impressions of Sweynheym and Valdarfer, of the entire
Orations, in 1471; and it has been my object to arrange the various
pieces of Cicero, as much as possible, according to their chronological
appearance in print. This will account for the precedency of the
Philippic Orations.

This edition is of very great rarity. Panzer has been unusually brief
in his account of it, referring only to Rossi, p. 65 ; whereas he might
have seen it noticed in Orlandi, Orig. e Prog. &c. p. 72; Clement,
Bibl. Curieuse, vol. vii. p. 152, (who depends upon Orlandi) ; De Bure,
Bibliogr. Instruct. vol. iii. p. 131, n°. 2400; Laire’s Spec. Hist. Typ.
Rom. p. 134; Cat. de la Valliere, vol. ii. n°. 2305 ; and Bibl. Crevenn.
vol. iii. n°. 3320 ; which latter ‘superb copy ’ is the one now about to
be described. On the reverse of the first leaf is a brief address of
Campanus to his friend the Cardinal Senensis (‘ Senensi meo ’), which
occupies only 16 lines, and concludes thus:
