This first edition of the Comedy of Calphurnia and Gurgulio is
equally curious andrare; and, with the Terence described at paeje 421
of the preceding volume of this work, are the only publications known
to have issued from the Sortensian Monastery. The reader will com-
pare the fac-simile given at p. 422 (ibid.) with the subjoined fac-simile,
and immediately acquiesce in the eonclusion of both being executed at
the same press. I have before intimated that the Terence might have
been an anterior production; but if the copy in the Harleian Cata-
logue, vol. i. p. 171, n°. *3569; vol. iii. p. 76, n®. 931, described as
containing both these authors in the same volume,* were in a very
ancient binding, such intimation is probably incorrect: — and the
Terence cannot be of a more early date than the work under descrip-
tion. On the recto of the first leaf we read a poetical prologue or
prefix of 12 verses. Beneath, the text commences thus:

divested of signatures, numerals, and catchwords. In the whole, there
are 14leaves; having 14 lines on the reverse of the last. Beneath
