Venice; 1513.] GREEK ORATORS.
iEschines; from which we learn, in the following passage, a few
of the wondevful things that marked the pontificate of Leo X.; —
and the high opinion which the printer entertained of that pontiff:
—‘ hoc enim Pontifice tot. rapinae, tot caedes, tot hominum scelera
cessabunt, et bella in primis malorum omnium causa. hoc pacis filio
renouabitur mundus. hic ille est, que afflicti. oppressi. submersi pro-
missum expectabamus. hic uir hic est, aurea condet secula qui rursus
latio regnata per arua Saturno quondam. hic ille Leo, de quo scriptum
est, Vincet Leo ex tribu Iuda.
Di patrii indigetes. & Romule, Vestaque mater,’ &c.
This Epistle bears date, Maij 1513; although the printing of the
work is said to have been accomplished in the preceding month : but
this first leaf, as it has neither signature nor paginary numbers, might
probably have beeri printed subsequently to the following ones. On
p. 3, a ii, begins the Life of iEschines; and between pages 14 and 15,
there is, in one of the copies of this first part, a leaf entirely blank,
with the exception only of what here ensues; which is printed on the
recto of the middle of it:

This singularity seems to have been unknown to Renouard. At page
197, the Life of Lysias, which is preceded by his Orations, terminates.
On what would be signature aaa i, we read the title to Andocides,
Isseus, Dinarchus, Antipho, Lycurgus, Gorgia, Lesbonax, and Herodes.
These Orators form the Seconcl Part, and contain 163 pages; the
last page being falsely numbered 162. The colophon and register are
thus:
Yenetiis Apud Aldum, 8c Andream Socerum
