sMilan; 1475.
Milan before the year 1470, will see how seebly the existence of them
is maintained. Both Meerman and Ernesti are particular and correct
in their descriptions os the volume under notice. Consult the Orig.

Bure is also concise and exact. Bibliogr. Instruct. vol. v. p. 609.
On the recto of the first leaf we read the address of Bonus Accursius
Pisanus, having’ the following' prefix :
BONVS ACCVRSIVS PISANVS Salutem dicit plurima
Magnifico equiti aurato 8c sapietissimo ac primo du-
cali secretario Cicho Simonetse.
This address occupies a page and a half. Towards the conclusion of
it, Pisanus talks of having diligently examined, and aceurately cor-
rected, the texts of Suetonius, ./Elius Spartianus, Julius Capito-
linus, Mlivs Lampridius, Trevellius Pollio, Flavius Vopiscus,
Eutropius, and Paulus Diaconus : the writers, who are contained
in this important volume. Three sets of hexameter and pentameter
verses, concerning tlie geneology, times, and deaths of the Caesars,
follow the preface; and conclude on the recto of the second leaf. On
the recto of the fiftli leaf the text of Suetonius begins. As Panzer
lias justly observed, the impression is divided into three parts. The
First Part, which contains the Lives of the XII Caesars, concludes on
tlie recto of the 104th leaf; with this colophon :
Mediolani Impressum per Magistrum Philippum de
lauagnia. 1475. die zO. lulii.
Some brief chapters ensue, relating to the actions of Nerva and
Trajan ; with the oration of Pope Gregory, which pronounces the soul
of Trajan to be freed from eternal misery. The Second Part may be
said to comprise the texts of the other writers, before mentioned, as
far as those of Eutropius and P. Diaconus ; whicli two latter Historians
are comprehended in the Tliird Part. On the reverse of fol. 247 and
last, from the beginning of the volume, we read the ensuing eolophon :
Informatum est hoc Opus per Magistrum Philippum de
Lauagna anno a Natiuitate Christi. M.cccc.Lxxv. Vn
decimo kalendas lanuarias Mediolani.
