HESIOD.
45
250. Hesiodus. Opera Omnia. Greece. Printed
by A.ldu$. Venice. 1495. Folio.
Editio Princkps of the Entire Works of Ilesiod, and subjoined
to an edition of Theocritus of the same date: for which, vide post.
Renouard has not exhibited his usual minuteness of description, in
his account of this very scarce impression. Of the contents of Hesiod
he has not taken any particular notice ; telling us, only, that the vo-
lume contains 140 leaves not numbered. His account of Theocritus
is more satisfactory. L’lmprim. des Alde, vol. i, p. 8-9. Other biblio-
graphers have been more particular. Maittaire, however, must be
excepted; as his description relates only to the title: Annal. Typog. vol.
i. p. 590-1. De Bure has been rather unusually exact; Bibliogr.
Instruct.yol. iii. p. 194-6, n°. 2480. Laire is correct, but confiries himself
to the title; referring to De Bure : Index Libror. vol. ii. p. 205-6. Braun
is rather copious ; concluding with these words— 4 Editio elegantissima
haec, ac excellentissima typo nitido admodum & preestanti expressa
bibliothecarum cimeliis merito adnumeratur.’ Notit. Hist. Litt. pt. ii.
p. 274. Seemiller is perhaps still more particular. Incunab. Typog.
Fasc. iv. p. 60-1. Panzer has adopted the whole of Seemiller’s de-
scription: Annal. Typog. vol. i. p. 378, n D. 1964. It mustbe remem-
bered, that the preceding authorities comprehend the account of
Theocritus, &c. as well as of Hesiod. In regard to the latter
author, the ensuing notice is yet more minute than either of those
preceding it. For Theocritus, tlie reader will consult the following
pages, in the alphabetieal arrangement of the authors.
The text of Hesiod begins as follows—on the recto of «. a.
