MISCELLANEOUS.
[Koberger,
We shall now cease to shock the feelings of the too susceptible
reader, by any further fac-similes of a like nature :—indeed it is time
to put a period to this elaborate illustration. The remaining points
are few and obvious. On the recto of the ensuing, and ccLxvith leaf,
we read what may be called the Second colophon:

Then follow the six leaves, not numbered, of which mention has been
before made; and which, in the present copy, are inserted as the last
leaves in the volume, after the third colophon. On the recto of fol.
cclxvii we read again ‘ ©ejcta etaa muntt.’ On the reverse is a large
and splendid wood-cut of ‘ JEneas pius Papa,’ surrounded by Cardinals,
on one side; and the Emperor Frederic on the other side, surrounded by
nobles. Various Views of Cities and Towns ensue. A large and
rude Map of Europe, the last embellishment in the volume, occupies
parts of folios ccxcix and ccc. On the reverse of fol. ccc, weread the
third and concluding colophon, tlius :
