Editio Princeps. * Ce volume, herisse d’ abbrdviations, est extre-

is the observation of Renouard; L’lmprim. des Alcle, vol. i. p. 19:—but
the curious reader should eonsult the very amusing account of the
author of this treatise, wliich appears in Bayle’s, Dict. vol. iii.p. 90-1,
in Borsetti, (as referred to by Angiolgabriello) and particularly in the
Biblioteca e Storia di Scrittori Vicentini of Angiolgabriello himself;
vol. ii. p. clxxxviii-ccxix. Bayle refers us to Paulus Jovius, and
Angiolgabriello to various authorities and documents; yet neither of
them has given so excellent an account of the treatise itself—or of this
edition—as Freytag, in his Adpar. Literar. vol. iii. p. 341—where we
read that the impression before us—‘ Literis romanis admodum nitidis,
excusa est &e. Liber oppido rarus’ &c. Freytag has copious extracts
from it, and properly notices the superficial description of it given by
Maittaire, in vol. i. p. 640. But even Maittaire, Freytag, and Renouard,
all pass over the Milan edition of the subsequent month, m the same
year: which is well described by Saxius, in his note, in the Hist. Lit.
