UKAMMARS AND LEXICONS. [Venice; 1476.

An entirely blank leaf ensues; and a register occupies the recto of the
succeeding and last leaf of the volume. The reader may consult the
Edit. Rom. p. 394. The present is a fine copy; in russia binding.

582. Priscianus. Printed hy I. de Colonia and
John Manthen de Gherretzem. Venice. 1476.
Folio.

Tliis impi’ession has been noticed bv most bibliogi’aphers, and copies
of it have usually been in the more celebrated private Collections. It
is well executed; but the Greek type does not exhibit the same deli-
cacy and nicety of execution as are seen in the rival productions of
Jenson. There is every appearance of its being a mere reprint of one
of Spira’s editions. A full page has 41 lines. The signatures run
thus : a 12, b 8, c 10, d to i, each 8 leaves : i to x, inclusively, 10 leaves:
y 8 leaves. On the reverse of y viij, at bottom :

Explicit est liber de Costructione .

Sequitur de Duodecirn carminibus.

The signatures continue in the following order: a a 10: (v 5 making
a a 5,) b b 10: c c 8, and d d 10, leaves. On e e i, recto,

Comentariu Rufini de metris comicis incipit.

e e has 8 leaves. On e e 4, reverse, we observe the same omission of
the passage from Demosthenes as in the edition of 1472. A blank
leaf is between e e 8 and f i. On f f vij, Dionysius begins. Both f s
and g g have each 10 leaves. On g g 10, recto, the conclusion from
Dionysius is piecisely the same as in Spii’a’s edition; to which is sub-
joined tlie following colophon:

FINIS

Impressum Yenetiis impesis Iohanis de Colonia
socij q; eius Iohanis mathen de Gherretzem. Anno
domini . M . CCCC . LXXVI.

The present is a fair sound copy, in old French red morocco binding,
and was formei'ly in the Alchorne Collection.
