This epistle is printed entire in the Bibl. Smith, pt. ii. p. clxxvii. The
part which Poggio took in the discovery of these Commentaries is not
failed to be noticed. At the conclusion of it we gather, from the sub-
joined date, that the impression was probably printed in 1477:
Vale foelix pater optime 8c me ut soles ama.
Venetiis ex pdibus solitp habitationis 4°. nonas
Iunias . M . cccc . lxxtjij.
Consult the authorities mentioned in Panzer, vol. iii. p. 125-6: but
Mittarelli, eol. 334-428, and Fossi, Bibl. Magliabech. vol. i. col. 212, are
principally to be examined. Tlie present is a very desirable copy; in
blue morocco binding.
622. Auctoritates Decretorum. Printed hy
Peter de Olpe. Cologne. 1470. Folio.
This volume is on many accounts interesting. It seems to be the
first book in the colophon of which the word Cologne appears as the
place of its execution ; and is the third in express chronologieal order,
as having been printed at that place ; since an opusculum of St. Chry-
sostom, mentioned at, page 190, vol. i., and another of St. Austin
noticed at page 178, vol. i.—wereeach printed by Zel, and put forth in
the years 1466 and 1467- Although, in these latter Opuscula, tlie word
* Cologne' does not appear in the colophons, yet, as Zel is generally
allowed to have first exercised the art of printing in that city, the pre-
sent publication cannot rank earlier than tlie third in chronological
order. Panzer, vol. i. p. 274, appears to be entirely indebted to
Marchand and Maittaire; and the latter, indeed, to Marchand; who
gives the colophon with tolerable accuracy, but subjoins a very jejune
and erroneous remark concerning Ulric Zel. Hist. de L'lmprim. p. 56.
