March; 1497.] BRANT. 213

The concluding verses, on the reverse of folio cxlii, are these:

Quod potui effeci: gaudet tuus ille magister
Discipuli ingeniurn tam valuisse sui.

Perge bonis cpptis : rogat id tuus atq; Ioannes -
Olpigena : fausto fine/ diuq; Vale.

An epistle of Locher, to the printer, immediately follows; in the con-
clusion of which the author pays no small compliment to the talents
and liberality of J. B. de Olpe. ‘ Tu tamen inprimis: Iohannes Berg-
mane : dignus mihi videris : qui humanitate (quae potissimum mortales
oblectat) et singulari munificentia: qua in omnes tibi pares vteris :
litterarum studia adeo extollis: vt ab inferis litteras squalore lurido
obsitas: in Germaniam reuocare videaris . quod enim magis in te
mirari solemus ? quam alacritatem istam tuam : qua studiosos homines
ad scribendum prouocas . Tuis enim fcecundissimis sumptibus egregios
libros emuncto charactere, ac graphice exaratos in lucem profers.’ &c.
&c. The following verses close this epistolary address:

Ad eundem Iohannem . B. de Olpe .

Me rogo comendes nostro iucunde Iohannes
Thpdigine : hunc saluum me rogitante iube .

Si quid forte agitem quprat meus ille magister ?

Dicito me saluum viuerey 8c esse suum .
proinde sibi incolumem vitani/ famaq; precabor
Perpetuam . valeat Brant meus ille diu .

A poetical address; ‘ Ad numeros suos ut Iohannem Bergmanum
festine adeant’ succeeds. On the reverse of fol. cxxxxv are the
colophon and printer’s device—the former of which will be given entire
in the ensuing article. The date of the impression is thus :

Millesimo quadringentesimo nonagesimo septimo
Kalendis Martiis . Vale inclyte Lector.

The device of a rampant lion, holding a shield with a sseur de lys upon
it, is beneath; with an inscription and date of 1497 upon labels. Three
leaves of a register ensue, and terminate the volume on the recto of the
3 rd leaf, thus:
