having 20 lines in a full page. The signatures, from A to X, are in
eights; but X has only 4 leaves. On the reverse of X iv, after
‘ uxor ’ as before—we read this subscription:

The present is a beautiful copy of this very rare impression:—in blue
morocco binding.

550. Crastonus. Vocabularium, Lat. et Gr.
Printed hy Dionysius de Bertochis, &c. Reggio.

1497- Quarto.

The printer of the edition of 1483, in eonjunction with Marchus
Antonius de Bacileriis, has here presented us with one of the most
elegant of the Vocabularies, in a quarto form, from the Lexicon of
Craston. Not that I am prepared to say that all the words which are
found in this Vocabulary, will be discovered in the larger work;
since, at first sight, we see ‘ Abbas a/3/3ac,’ which latter word is not
contained in the Lexicon. In this edition the address of Pisanus
occupies, as usual, the first leaf. On A ii, recto, the Vocabulary com-
mences exaetly as in the two preceding quarto impressions; but the
Greek type is much thinner and taller. The roman type has a Milan
aspect. The signatures, A to P, are in eights ; P has only 4 leaves,
with a blank leaf for the 4th. On the reverse of P iij, we read this
imprint;

Ad laudem dei beatpq; Virginis marige.
Imprasssum hoc opus Regii per Dionysiu
de bertochis, et Marchum Antoniu de Ba
cileriis. Anno salutis. MCCCCXCVII.

Panzer refers to Mittarelli, the Hoblyn Catalogue, vol. i. p. 189,
Strauss (Opera Rariora in Bibl. Rebdors. p. 282,) Laire, and Seemisler,
for copies of this edition. I have consulted each of these authorities.
Strauss refers to Maittaire, and Seemiller to Denis Garell. p. 96. The
Hoblyn Collection had also one of the dateless impressions in quarto.
The present is a beautiful and desirable copy : in blue morocco.
