604. jEneas Sylvius. Epistolas et Varii Trac-
tatus. Printed hy John de Vingle. Lyons.
1497- Folio.
On the recto of the first leaf, printed in red, in 3 lines, we read the
following title: * Varii Tractatus et Epistolse Pii Secvndi Pontificis
Maximi ad diversos in quadruplici vite ejus statu transmisse ; collectae
dispositae et argumentis illustratae a Nicolao de Wille.” A table of 5
leaves follows. Then, an address of Ambrosius Archintus of Milan,
dated Dec. 1496. Next, an account of AEneas Sylvius — one leaf:
reverse of it blank. On a, begins the first Epistle. On the recto of
0 v, is the coloplion, ending thus:

This volume is executed in a small Gothic type, closely printed, having
blooming capital letters. In calf binding.
605. Agenda Ecclesi^s Moguntinensis. Printed
at Mentz. 1480. Quarto.
Denis and Zapf both rely upon Wiirdtwein; but the description of
each of these tliree bibliographers is rather meagre and uninteresting.
Consult the Bibl. Mogunt. p. 120-1; Suppl. Maitt. p. 111, n°. 77-7;
and the Buchdruckergescliiclite von Mainz, 1790, Svo. p. 90. Panzer has
contented himself with these authorities only.
This publication is a Ritual ofBaptism* to be observed in the
cathedral, and other churches, of Mentz. The first thing that strilces
a typographical antiquary is, the similarity of tlie types to those of the
Mazarine Bible of 1455-6 (see the fac-simile of the latter at p. 4 of
vol. i. of tliis work) and the extreme unskilfulness of the press-work ;
comprehending a quantity of red type—which, with the black, seems
to have been executed after the fount, of letter had been much used
and injured. The capital initials, where botli red and black ink are
