On the recto of « ii, the Epistles of Libanius eommence. On the
reverse of the last leaf we gather, from the register, that the signatures,
from a. to £r, run in eights; with the exception of ?, r,, and c, which are
in sixes. Below, is the imprint, thus:

We may subjoin the observation of Renouard, respecting the rarity
and worth of this edition. * Rare edition. II seroit a souhaiter que
quelque savant helleniste donnat une bonne edition grecque et latine,
avec des notes judicieuses, de ce recueil, dont la reimpression, faite h
Genbve, en 1606, in-folio, avec une version latine trop legbrement
attribuee a Cujas, ne contient aucune lettre de plus que l’edition d’Alde,
quoiqu’elle soit reputee plus ample. A ces lettres on pourroit en ajouter
d’autres restees inedites, ou publi^es depuis dans diverses editions
separees, et on enformeroit une collection vraiment utile, sauf alaisser
de cote Je volumineux recueil des lettres de Libanius, dejh publie, et
qui d’ailleurs n’est pas le plus interessant.’ L’lmprimerie des Alde,
vol. i. p. 24-5. I presume that the ample edition of Libanius’s Epistles,
by J. C. Wolf, published at Amsterdam in 1738, folio, is here alluded to.
The present copy of this Aldine edition is rather short, but remark-
ably clean and sound. It is in green morocco binding. Renouard, in
his third volume, p. 5, informs us that there are copies of this work
which are printed upon fine and stout papek, like the Herodotus and
Pausanias, &c.
