ANCIENT CLASSICS. [Vit. Cas. 1470.

Vmmatim extra philosoptiiam non est: 8cc.

The following- sub-title (wanting in the preceding- edition,) is prefixed
to the first section of the work:

Strabonis Geographi Europe primus Commentarius.

The impression has, throughout, heads or prefixes to the several
chapters, for which spaces are left in the previous one. A full page
has 46 lines. On the recto of the 235th and last leaf, beneath 13
lines of text, we read the six colophonic verses as at p. 113 ante:
beneath which is the date, thus:

M. CCCC. LXX III. Die uero
Veneris. XII. mensis Februarii.

There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. The reader
may consult the Edit. Rom. p. 126-7; Bibliogr. lnstruct. vol. v. p. 25-7;
and Panzer’s Annal. Typog. vol. ii. p. 437> n°. 109. The present is a
fine large copy, with many rough fore edges. It is in old red morocco
binding.

451. Suetonius. De Vitis XII. Caesarum.
('Printed hy Philip de JLignamine). Rome.
1470. Folio.

Editio Princeps. We have here another (if not the first) mag-
nificent specimen of the press of Philip de Lignamine, although his
name be not subjoined to the impression. The powerful reasons
adduced by Audiffredi in his description of the Editio Princeps of
Quintilian’s Institutions—(which have been already laid before the
reader at p. 305-6, ante) together with a careful comparison of that
publication with the present one, render it almost indisputable that
both these works issued from the press of P. de Lignamine:— 4 sunt
que eximia, et prima opera officinae Jo. Phil. de Lignamine’ — are
the emphatic words of this last mentioned bibliographer. Edit. Rom.
p. 46. It follows, therefore, that the old school of bibliography,
including even Laire, were clearly in error in assigning the Quintilian
and the Suetonius, edited by Campanus, to the press of Ulric Han.
