There are neither signatures, catchwords, nor numerals. The present
is a large and desirable copy of this estimable impression: in blue
morocco binding.

724. Laus Virginis. Printed in the Office of

Fnst and Schoeffer. Without Fate. Folio.

This beautiful specimen of the large type of Fust and Schoeffer
appears to have escaped both Wtirdtwein and Panzer. It is a thin
volume, of only 9 leaves, and concludes without any indication of place

below the 10th and last line of the recto of the 9th leaf. There are
neither signatures, catchwords, nor numerals. This rare and desirable
volume is elegantly bound in purple moroeco.

introduce it here. Much is said of its rarity by Laire, and not a little

former says, * it is an impression wholly different from the Padua one of
the same year, and in the same character: it has no signatures j and
