Editio Princeps. It is justly observed by Count Revicky, in his
MS. Memorancla, that there are tliree dateless editions of this work,
each having nearly the same appearance of antiquity. But as Pom-
ponius Laetus was the first editor of Varro, and as he resided at Rome,
and employed the press of Laver—to which press there is every reason
to tliink that the present volume was indebted for its existence—so we
may be justified in giving precedency to the impression under descrip-
tion. Ernesti seems to have had but a confused knowledge of these
early editions; and to acquiesce in a supposed Venetian edition, by
Jenson, of the date of 1472 ; confounding tliis printer’s impression of
tlie Scriptores de Re Rustica, (among whom the author ranks) with the
work under consideration. Audiffredi has no doubt upon the subject
of this impression being executed by Laver; and says that the types
bear a resemblance to those with which the Eutropius and Curtius of
1471, by the same printer, were executed. His description is, in other
respects, sufficiently laconic. Maittaire thought this edition was
printed in 1471, but Panzer has censured this conclusion. De Bure
has omitted to notice it.
