Mentz; 1468.] GRAMMA.TICAL RUDIMENTS.
The whole work is executed in a similar manner. A full page has 26
lines : signature a has 8, b 6, and c 4, leaves—a blank leaf forming the
4th. In the whole, 18 leaves. On the reverse of c iij are 24 lines—
the last being thus:

Nothing can well exceed the beautiful condition of this elegant little
volume, which is bound in a very tasteful style, by Roger Payne, in
pale olive-colour morocco.
558. Grammatice Rudimenta. Printed by
Schoeffer. Mentz. 1468. Folio.
In the Cat. cle Gaignat. vol. i. p. 365, there is an extensive and very
pai’ticular account of this splendidly printed grammatieal treatise ;
which is called by De Bure ‘Opus Eximi^e Raritatis.’ The author of
the work is not exactly known; but he quotes largely from Priscian,
and is supposed to have been called Eontinus, Fontius, or Fonteius—a
German, of the town of Rochlitz. Wiirdtwein had never seen the
volume, but refers to De Bure. Laire also quotes the Gaignat Cata-
logue. The volume is divided into two parts—printed upon paper of
the strengtli and consistency of drawing paper. The first part con-
tains 17 leaves, and has long lines : the second part contains 26 leaves,
and is printed in two columns. The first part has the margins filled with
printed references and explanations, liaving, generally, four lines
below, in the smallest type. The type of the text of the first part is
precisely the same as that of the Bible of 1462 : the type of the second
part is like the Decretals of Pope Gregory, printed in 147S. The
smallest type is sirnilar to that of the Cicero’s Offices of 1465-6. It is
rarely, if ever, that these three types occur in the same publication.
On the recto of the first leaf, we read as follows ;
