ANCIENT CLASSICS. [Venice; 1502.
The recto of the next leaf presents us with the register. It is justly
observed by Audiffredi, Edit.Rom. p. 1S2, that the types of this ixnpres-
sion have an exact resemblance to those with which Sweynheym and
Pannartz printed: except that the a is somewhat. more elegant, and
the i is occasionally dotted. The s final and the diphthong ce. also vary.
It is supposed to have been executed by Pannartz alone, and is among
the latest productions ‘ in domo Petri Maximis.’ There is a good ac-
count of this edition in Maittaire, vol. i. p. 348, note i; in De Bure,
vol. v. p. 491, n°. 4743; in Panzer, vol. ii. p. 455-6, and Bibl. Magliabech.
vol. i. col: 769 ; in each of which authorities the preceding vei'ses are
extracted. Mr. Beloe has an interesting notice of * the palace of the
family of Maximis,’ appended to his account of this impression:
Anecdotes of Literature, &c. vol. iv. p. 108. The present is a fair copy,
in russia binding.
248. Herodotus. Grsece. Printed hy Aldus.
Venice. 1502. Folio.
Editio Princeps. On the recto of the first leaf we have the title
of the work, in Greek and Latin: the whole, 15 lines. The small anchor,
in shadow, is beneath ; having ALononeside, and DVS on the other.
The reverse of the leaf, in small italics, presents us with the address
of Aldus to Calphurnius, Brixianus; in wliich, among other pertinent
remarks, the printer observes—as Renouard has correctly extracted it—
‘ Has nouem musas Herodoti in sedibus nostris nuper impressas ....
eo gratiores tibi fore existimamus, quoniam multis exemplaribus
castigatse emittuntur ex Academia nostra in manus studiosorum.
Nam Clio abundata cseteris quibus cum contulimus exemplar nostrum,
decem prope chartis, quse & in ea desunt, quse a Laurentio Valla
translata habetur . . ..’ It will be seen, from the sequel, that Aldus
was accurate in this statement.
On the recto of the second leaf, sign. aaAA ii, begins the first book,
or the text of Clio. On the recto of the last, the registers and the
imprint are in Greek and Latin. The signatures run in eights,
except the last, 22 SS ii, which has only four leaves : the imprint is as
follows :
Y enetiis in domo Aldi mense Septembri. m.dii. et cum
priuilegio ut in cteteris.
