On the recto of the following leaf, signature a i, we read:
GEORGII TRABEZVNTII DE ARTIFICIO CI
CERONIANAE ORATIONIS . PRO QVINTO
LIGARIO AD VICTORINVM FELTRENSEM .
PRAEFATIO .
The signatures a and c have each eight leaves; b 10, and d 6 leaves.
Then a blank leaf, forming a i; on a z, it commences thus :
Antonij Luschi Vicentini oratoris clarissimi
Inquisitio sup. xi. orationesCiceronisad fratrem suum
optimum: atq; charissimum Astolfinum de mari-
nonibus .
8cc. 8cc. 8cc.
The order of this third set of signatures is thus : a 10, b 8, c 10, d and
e 8, f 6, g to 1 8, and m 6 leaves. On the reverse of m v, is an address
of Jerom Squarzaficus Alexandrinus, to the Abp. Antonius Serachus;
in which, among other things, the former dwells uponthe elegance and
excellence of the Commentaries of Asconius Pedianus, and upon their
utility for the proper understanding of the eloquence of Cicero—‘ Quos
libellos si quis diligenter inspicere uoluerit proculdubio & facile uim
earum orationum cognoscere posset.’ &c.
What follows, respectingthe printers of the work,is worth subinitting
to the reader’s attention:
* It is difficult to understand what is meant in the Harl, Cat. vol. iii, p. 77, no. 945, that
‘ tlie words of Ioan. de Colonia and Manthen de Gherretzen are to lie expunged, no such
words being to be fourid in the Book.’—If this be correct, (which I mudi doubt,) there is a
variation in the impressions; as no other printers published au edition of the above work
in the year 1477.
