The present is a very fine copy of this uncommon volume; and is so
large, that nearly one third of the leaves are uncut. It is bound in red
morocco.
326. Ovidius. De Arte Amandi. De Remedio
Amoris. TVithout Date, Place, or Name of
Printer. Quarto.
This rare and unknown impression is evidently from the press of
Ulric Zel. Panzer, La Serna Santander, and Brunet * have omitted
to notice it ; nor do the pages of Freytag, Braun, and Seemiller con-
tain any account of it. That it is, in all probability, of a date an-
terior to 1473 (if not to 1472), may be safely admitted. On the
recto of the first leaf, we read,
<£>uibij llaftmig <guimoitengig tie
arte amantii iifier gtimug incipit;
On comparison with the text of Sweynheym and Pannartz, 1 find, at
the 5th vcrse, ‘Thiphis,’ for ‘ Tiphys ;’ and at the 10th, ‘ Phillirides’ —
as in Zainer’s impression—and not ‘ Philyndes’—which is a sufficient
testimony of the text being taken from a different MS. It contains
49 leaves; ending with this subscription :
<©uitiij ijlafoniO jMtlmoncnsis' pocte

* I had at first imagined this edition to be the same with that which is noticed in the
Catalogue des Livres du Cabinet de M.***. Paris, 1811, 8vo. p. 121. no. 647, compiled by
Brunet himself; but the commencement of the Pemedium Amoris (if Brunet be correct,
as he most probably is) proves the contrary: although the number of lines in each impres-
sion be similar. There is no doubt of the present edition being equally rare with the one
described by Brunet—and I might have prefaced the account of it with the words of
this distinguished bibliographer: ‘ Comme ce livre est de la plus grande rarete, et qu’
aucun Bibliographe, que je sache, n’en a fait mention, j’eu vais donner la description.’
