COLLECTIONS.

sRome; 1487*

The Third Part contains Isocrates, Alcidamas, Gorgia, (de laudibus
Helenae,) and Aristides. (de laudibus Athenarum, et de laudibus Urbis
Romae.) Tlie epistle of Aldus, pretixed to this third part, bears date
April 1513. The large unshaded anchor is in both the second and third
title pages. Jsocrates coneludes at page 197; having signatures aa to
nn, in eights : nn has only four leaves. The colophon is as follows :

VENETIIS APVD ALDVMj ET ANDREAM
SOCERVM MENSE APRIL. M. D. XIII.

The reverse is blank; and a leaf ensues which is entirely blank. On
page 98, erroneously so printed for 198, Aleidamas begins;—who is
followed by the remaining Orators just noticed. On page 167,
(erroneously for 267,) we learn, from the register, that the signatures,
beginning with Alcidamas, run from AA to EE in eights: EE having
only four leaves. The colophon is thus :

VENETIIS IN AEDIBUS ALDI., ET ANDREAE
SOCERI. IIII NONARUM MAII. M.D.XIII.

The reverse is blank. Another leaf, with the recto blank, but with the
large unshaded anchor upon the reverse, terminates the volume. The
foregoing description will be found more copious and particular than
that of Renouard, although the whole of his aecount be not contained
in it. The reader may be pleased to consult the authorities referred
to in the Introd. to the Classics, vol. ii. p. 73-4. The present is rather
a fine copy; in red morocco binding.

Editio Princeps. Audiffredi (as Seemiller justly observes) notices
the pieces contained in this Collection of the ancient Military
Writers, in four distinct numbers, or articles ; as there is a sepa-
rate subscription to each author. In the present instance, I
shall follow Seemiller’s plan, and describe each author in the order
in which he appears in the copy under consideration. The editor of
this compilation was Sulpitius Verulanus, His address to Petrus
