rubricator or illuminator. The text of this impression is uniformly
printed in the largest tvpe, and the commentary in the middle-size
type. The paper is of a dark or yellowish hue, but admirably manu-
factured for strength and consistence. On the reverse of fol. 322, and
last but two, we have a colophon, in red, of 11 lines; the whole of
which it will not be necessary here to repeat. The foliowing is therefore
submitted:

size type, terminate the volume. This book, which forms a magnificent

is bound in blue morocco; and the present copy of it is, in every
respect, most desirable.

This is, probably, the earliest impression of the work above
specified. Panzer (vol. i. p. 132, n°. 7) does right to refer his reader
to the concise and satisfactory account of this edition, which appears in
Braun’s Not. Hist. Lit. pt. i. p. 39-40. From this latter authority, it
appears that Schelhorn, Denis, and Hamberger, had supposed the pre-
sent impression to have been executed not later than 1472 ; since the
types, with which it is printed, are said by them not to have been used
