A Greek epigram upon Nicander, in four verses, is beneath. On
the reverse is the address of Aldus to Jerom Donatus, his fellow coun-
tryman: tliis is dated M.ID. An index follows, on the recto of * U;
comprehending 5 leaves. At the conclusion vve liave 4 lines vE>c rwv
'2<ouloa.: the reverse being blank. On the recto of sign. a begins tlie
text of Dioscorides ; the ixth book of his work ending on the reverse
of 7r ix, with a register; from which we learn that the signatures,
from a to 7r, run in eights—7r, having 10 leaves; and the tenth being
blank. Nicander begins on the recto of A, and ends thus, on the recto
of E vj — in eights:
Yenetiis apud Aldum. Mense lulio. M.ID.
According to Renouard, Dioscorides contains 129, and Nicander 3S,
leaves. Then commence the Scholia upon the Alexipharmaca of
Nicander, on the recto of a, terminating on the reverse of a x: ten
leaves. They are printed in double columns ; having the word TEAOS
at the bottom of the last eolumn. The Scholia of this work are of
very rare occurrence. Renouard had not seen them when he published
his first two volumes of L’Imprimerie des Alde, vol. i. p. 28; but tliey
are briefly and correctly noticed by him in vol. iii. p. 5. Maittaire,
vol. i. p. 687, merely notices the existence of them. De Bure is
brief and superficial; vol. ii. p. 316, n°. 1550: being ignorant of their
existence. Seemiller properly observes that they are printed in a
different type from that of the body of the work, Incunab. Typog.
Fasc. iv. p. 111-112. Laire appears to have been ignorant of them :
Index Libror. vol. ii. p. 248. It is not very improbable that the
Scholia were a posterior publication; as they are printed with a dif-
ferent type—in the same form as those of Demosthenes: p. 12, ante.
The present is a very clean copy, slightly cropt. In red morocco.
