A fall page has 35 lines. There are no spaces between the Epistles,
but to each one is a prefix, in lower case letter. On the reverse of
the 203rd leaf, the regular Epistles terminate : succeeded by the corres-
pondence between the Apostle Paul, as usual. These occupy 3 leaves;
and conclude with the epitaph of Seneca, on the recto of the 3rd.
See Cat. de la Valliere, vol. ii. n°. 4434; and Notit. Hist. Lit. vol. i.
p. 112. Brunet, Manuel du Libraire, vol. ii. p. 470, describes it. as the
Editio Princeps. The present is a most desirable copy of this un-
common book; and is so large, that there are numerous rough edges
to the leaves. It is elegantly bound in blue morocco.
427- Seneca. Tragoedi2e. Printed hy Andrea
Gallus. (Ferrara. 1484.J Folio.
Editio Princeps. Baruffaldi, in his Tipogra/ia Ferrarese, p. 45-8,
seems to have indisputably fixed the date of the printing of this edition
about the year 1484. His reasons are assigned below. Audiffredi,
(Edit. Ital. p. 241,) who appears to have never seen a copv of it, is
indebted to a description sent to his friend the Canon Devoti; but
acquiesces in the reasoning of Baruffaldi. This reasoning is drawn, (as
is the conclusion from tlie edition of Sallust, noticed at p. 326-8 ante,)
from the political circumstances alluded to in the colophon ; which
relate to a peace established between the Venetians and Hercules Duke
of Ferrara, with other federated Italian princes, in the year 1484. We
will describe the impression particularly. On the recto of the first
leaf, the text is thus :
