This Ode concludes the volume on the reverse of the 106th and last
leaf. Beneath the six last verses of text, we read as follows.

After Maittaire, whose description of this exceedingly rare impres-
sion is confined only to the colophon, (Annal. Typog. vol. i. 336,
note 1,) it is doubtful whether we can discover any correct traces of lt
in future bibliographers. In Fi’ance it is probably unknown. De
Bure, La Serna Santander, and Brunet, all relying upon Maittaire.
Even Baruffaldi, in his Tipografia Ferrarese, 1777, 8vo. p. 60-63, ap-
pears to add nothing to the information of Maittaire; although he
supposes, gratuitously, that, the edition was executed before the pre-
ceding one by Zai’otus. Audiffredi, Edit. Ital. p. 232, merely quotes
Maittaire and Baruffaidi.f Panzer is equally sterile : Annal. Typog.
vol. i. p. 394 ; and Mitscherlich is obliged to content himself with
the authorities of his predecessors. Edit. Horat. vol. i. p. lvii. This
copy, which is in tender, but perfect condition, was given to Lor
Spencer by the late Duke of Devonshire; and is bound in blue
morocco. The horizontal water-marks clearly denote it to be a
quarto, and not octavo—as is erroneously stated in the Introd. to
the Classics, vol. i. p. 400—upon tlie faith of Maittaire and La Serna
Santander. It is probable, however, that this was the identical copy
seen by Maittaire.
