out Late. Folio.

Editio Princeps. The compiler of the Crevenna Catalogue (Bibl.
Creoenn. vol. iii. n°. 3050) refers us to the descriptions of this edition
which are to be found in Audiffredi’s Edit. Rom. p. 396, and in the Cat.
de la Valliere, vol. ii. n°. 2184. Panzer makes the same references.
That the present is the first edition of the work, there can be no
manner of doubt, from the phraseology of the prefatory address. It is
odd, therefore, that the compiler of the Valliere Catalogue (unless
inssuenced by the Bibliogr. Instruet. voh iii. n°. 2264,) should call the
edition of 1471 the earliest impression, when he admits that tliis was
executed ‘ about 1470.’ From the authority last referred to, it seems
evident that no knowledge had then obtained respecting the edition
of Laver. Audiffredi has given a comparatively brief account of this
very rare book, but he has compressed into this account the leading
features by which its precedency is established. The prefatory address,
just alluded to, is on the reverse of tlie first leaf; and that part of it,
which appertains to the printing of the volume, is here submitted to the
reader:
