Mentz; 1467.] AQUINAS. 155

A full column has 59 lines. On the reverse of fol. *252, we read the
following colophon :

ipoc opu£ precJatu scb’a scU’e £iti tjome tie aquino

The shields, in red, are below. Six leaves of c Questions,’ sufficient to
distract the best-ordered understanding, follow; on the recto of the
6th of which, at bottom, the subscription is thus :

aEjcpsicit ortio et ^ignatio quegtionst scti’t sifiri se^

Like the ensuing editions from the Mentz pi’ess, this volume is printed
in the small (Durandus) type, upon paper of admirable tone and
texture. Schwarz and Wiirdtwein mention a vellum copy of it ‘ of
the lai'gest size,’ in the Cathedral Library at Mentz. The latter gives
us only the colophon; and the former seems to depend mucli upon
Gudenus. Prim. Quced. Doc. de Orig. Typog. pt. ii. p. 22 ; Bibl. Mogunt.
p. 89. A copy of this edition was sold for 500 livres at the sale of the
Library of Cardinal de Lomenie de Brienne : see Laire’s Index Libror.
vol. i. p. 65. Also Panzer, vol. ii p. 117- The present is a large and
magnifieent copy of it; bound in russia by Walther.
