ANCIENT CLASSICS.
[Tragced.
non gik all’ anno 1481, ma all’ anno 1484. Quando non voglia dirsi,
senza averne prove di alcuna sorte, che la stampa comincio del 1481,
e per le turbolenze insorte resto sospesa fino al termine della guerra,
1’anno 1484,’ p. 46. De Bure was unacquainted with it, and no copy
of it is to be found in the Gaignat, Valliere, or Crevenna Collection.
The type is large, legible, and handsome. The noble Owner of the
present, copy may congratulate himself on the possession of one of the
most desirable copies of rare volumes in this Collection. It is bound
in red morocco.
428. Seneca. Tragoediae. Prinled hy Higman
and JETopyl. Paris. TVithout Pate Quarto.
The present copy, beginning on sign. a iiii, is necessarily imperfect;
but on consulting the Cat. de la Valliere, vol. ii. p. 120, no. 2589,
we find that it wants a dedicatory epistle, which occupies the first 2
leaves. A prefix or argument of 12 lines, by Jerom Balbus, precedes
the commencement of the ‘ Ilercules Furens’ on a iiii recto. The text
of this Tragedy appears exactly conformable to that of the Ferrara
edition. A full page has 26 lines. There are two alphabets of signa-
tures : the first, from a to ?, in eights. The second A to E in eights.
On the recto of E v, the lOtli tragedy concludes : then an address of
Carolus Fernandus, in 10 lines, of which the following ai'e the most
material and interesting :
Te balbi meminisse decet ; qui codice multo
Collato. hec tribuit munera tanta tibi.
Multaq; vuolfgago debet gratia ; cuius
Hec nitet artifici littera pressa manu.
Ite alacres igitur paucis ne parcite numis:
Quando potest minimo maximus auctor emi.
On the reverse, at top, is the imprint thus :
Impressu parisius in vico clauso brunelli per Io^.
hanne liigman vuilhelmu ppositi 8c vuolfgangu ho

The register occupies the remainder of the page, and one half of the
recto of the following leaf. The reverse is blank. The authority.
