It is allowed by Fabricius tbat the text of this valuable impression
entii’ely agrees ‘ cunx codice praestantissimo Palatino,’ which was con-
sulted in the compilation of it. The beauty of the press-work is equal
to its intrinsic worth. Laire examined four copies which were divested
of signatures, but both himself and Fossi properly observe that there
are copies which contain them—between the text of Suetonius and that
of Eutropius. Index Libror. vol. i. p. 365-6 ; Bibl. Magliabech, vol. ii.
col. 601. In the present beautiful copy they are to be found (but most
of them cut away in the binding) in the extreme corner of the bottom
margin. This copy is in most desii’able condition: bound in red
morocco.
527- Epistolographi ; seu Epistolarum Gr^e-
carum Collectio. Printed hy Aldus, Venice.
1499. Quarto.
Editio Princeps. The order of the Two Parts of the pi'esent im-
pression being different from that which is observed by Renouard, the
ensuing description will neeessarily vary; but onlyin form. The recto
of the first leaf presents us with the title of the work, in Greek and
Latin, each having the same number of lines. Tlie latter is as follows:
Epistolas diuersorum philosopliorum . ora-
torum . Rhetorum sex 8c uiginti .
Quorum nomina in se
quenti inuenies
Pagina .
On the reverse of the same leaf, is a list of the several authors of the
Epistles, in Greek; having, on the recto of the second leaf, a Latin
version of them, in three columns. The names are these, £ Synesius,
Demosthenes, Plato, Aristoteles, Philippus, Alexander, Hippocrates,
Democritus, Heraclitus, Diogenes, Crates, Anacharsis, Euripides,
Theano, Melissa, Mya, Alciphron, Philostratus, Theophylactus, Ae-
lianus, Aeneas, Procopius, Dionysius, Lysis, Amasis, Musonius.’
Beneatlx the Greek list of names are some Greek verses, of which the
ensuing is also a version :—it being printed beneath the Latin names,
on the opposite page:
Epistolarum congregatio uirorum doctorum
Quos priscum produxit ceu rosas tempus.
