GRAMMARS AND LEXICONS. sWithout Date.
577* Pompeius Festus. Without Name osPrinter,
Place, or Date. Quarto.
The printing of this edition is given to Laver, by Audiffredi and
Laire; but the latter does not seem to be sufficiently warranted in
assigning the date of * about 1470’ as that of the execution of it.
Audiffredi only informs us that it is printed in the same type as are
the Eutropius and Curtius by the same artist: the former of the date
of 1471. Edit. Rom. p. 395-6; Index Libror. vol. i. p. 132. The im-
pression is of very considerable rarity, and will be found in few
libraries. On the recto of the first leaf, the work begins thus :
POMPEI . FESTI. DE INTERPRETA
TIONE . LINGVE . LATINE.
VGVSTVS locus sanctus ab auiu
gestuid est quiaab auibus significato
est sic dictus siue abauium gustatu:
quia paste id ratum fecerunt
Like the preceding, the present edition is printed in long lines, and a
full page contains 32 of them. It is also without numerals, signatures,
and catchwords. On the reverse of fol. 83 and last, beneath 19 lines
of text, we read the following imprint:
Finis Pompei Festi que
Pomponius correxit:
Vale qui legeris . . H . G .
The words, for which these initials H . G . are designed, are not
attempted to be decyphered by bibliographers; and I own that the
effort to supply such deficiency seems beyond the intrinsic value of the
discovery—if attainable. The present is a sound desirable copy; in
blue moroeco.
(An edition by John de Colonia, fyc. of the date of 1474, has been
omitted by mistake; but it will besound in the supplement to this Work.J
