posed to be printed by Sioctus Heussinger. With-
out JPlace or Date. Folio.
* This book (says Morelli) may be ranked among those of the
greatest rarity. With the exception of Audiffredi, the more distin-
guished bibliographei’s have entirely omitted to notice it; and before
I had seen the account of it in the Eclit. Rom. p. 174, I had suspected
it to have been printed by Sixtus Reussinger—but now find my suspi-
cion verified by an authority of such weight and respectability.’ Bibl.
Pinell. vol. ii. p. 244, Morelli proceeds to inform us that, in conse-
quence, it is printed at Naples, in a small folio form, without nume-
rals, signatures, or catchwords ; and that the number of lines in each
full page, from 33 upwards, frequently varies. The character of the
type is best described by a reference to the fac-simile in vol. ii.
p. 234 ; which leaves no doubt of Reussinger being the printer of the
present edition.
Audiffredi notices a copy of it whiclx was bound with an impression
of the Epistles of 2Eneas Silvius, of the date of 1475 ; and he adds,
that he has thought it * worth while to give a description of it, as
Mongitor, Orlandi, Maittaire, Fabricius, Moreri, Bayle, Niceron,
Chaufepie, and other bibliographers have passed it over in silence.’
His description is brief, but he properly observes that the type is
similar to that of the Epistles of St. Jerom, of which an account will
be found in vol. i. p. 202 ; and that, in consequence, Reussinger, and
not Ulric Han, is the printer of the impression. We shall be particular
in making tlie reader acquainted with the principal features of this
very rare volume. The recto of the first leaf thus presents us with
the beginning of the prologue :
