Scc. 8cc. 8cc.

A full page has 40 lines. On the recto of the 21st leaf we read

De inusitatis uocalibus per indicem litterarum.

which, in the Parraa impression of 1480, is designated thus:

De Dictionibus Ab. A. Littera incipientibus.

This Dictionary concludes on the recto of fol. 55. Then commences,
what should be entitled, * De Diuersis Acceptionibus Nominum et
Verborum Avhich concludes on the reverse of fol. 110. Next follows,
what is called in the Parma impression, e Nonnullarum Dictionum
Insignificatse DifFerentise which concludes on the recto of fol. 116.
Trom hence, we have the titles regularly introduced; as, in the same
page, we observe ‘ Incipit de impropriis.’ On fol. 120, recto, ‘ Incipit
de otrariis generibus uerborumon fol. 123, reverse, ‘ Incipit de mutata
declinatione: on fol. 125, reverse, ‘ Incipit de numeris et casibus :’ on
fol. 127, recto, * Incipit de mutatis coniugationibus:’ on fol. 128, rev.
‘ Incipit de ingratis aduerbiis :’ on fol. 130, i ev. ‘ Incipit de doctorum
indagine :’ on fol. 135, rect. ‘ Incipit de genere uestimentorum :’ on fol.
136, rev. ‘ Incipit de genere uasorum et poculorum :’ on fol. 137 rev. at
bottom, * Incipit de genere uel colore uestimentorum :’ on fol. 138, rev.
‘ Incipit degenere ciboru et potuum :’ on fol. 139, rect. ‘Incipit dege-
nere armorum.’ The present copy having the leaves numbered by a
pencil, it has enabled me to be thus particular in the respective divi-
sions of the work. On the reverse of fol. 140, are eight liexameter
and pentameter verses in commendation of the author; which verses
may be found in Audiffredi and in the La Valliere Catalogue. They
do not seem deserving of being again extracted. On the recto of the
following and last leaf, is a register. There are neither numerals, sig-
natures, nor catchwords. The character with which this impression
is executed is soraewhat ruder (as Audiffredi justly remarks) than what
is usually observable in the works printed by Laver. Compared with
the Eutropius, and Quintus Cuvtius, of 1471, it is a meanly printed
volurae ; and yet it is perhaps an anterior performance !—so that we
might expect to have seen a greater sharpness and cleanness of letter.
The present is a sound and desirable copy, in red-morocco binding.
