It is doubted, by Panzer, whether this impression, or a dateless one
by Mentelin, be the editio princeps of the work. Whichever take
precedence, there is every reason to consider the present as a rare and
extraordinary production of tlie press of SehoefFer. Indeed, whoever
examines the several volumes here described, of this portion of the
works of Aquinas, must be astonished at the perseverance of our early
printers in putting fortli such a vast mass of press-work which,
however in former times it may have met with readers, is not likely
again to experience so favorable a reception. It is liardly possible to
cast the eye over eleven columns of an Index of the Publications of
Thomas Aquinas, in the XVth Century — as seen in Panzer’s fifth
volume—without being astonished at the intellectual fecundity of their
author, and at the popularity of his works. His ‘ Prima, and sPartes]
Secunda, Duodecim Quodlibets,’ and ‘ Opus Quarti Scripti,’ to mention
no others, might have furnished amusement to our ancestors; but, in
the present day, they seem to be ridiculed or forgotten. The schools
of Aquinas and Dun Scotus have fortunately long ceased to exist. But
our business is with the volume before us. On the recto of the first
leaf, without prefix, the first column commences thus:
