PETRARCH.
453
Cologne ; 1471.]
Santander quotes Mirseus, Auctor. de Script. Ecclesiast. p. 266. As the
title of Hadrian’s and Petrarch’s works is the same, the reader will
perhaps forgive the introduction of the former in its present place.
The impression under description is of no small value in a biblio-
graphical point of view. It presents us with the earliest known spe-
cimen of printed numerals upon the outer margin of the recto of
each leaf:—which numerals are here piaced in the centre of the margin
—in the rude arabic form. How it has happened that neither Ther
Hoernen himself, nor subsequent printers, imitated this judicious
mode of publishing, I am at a loss to conceive. The copy before me is
unluckily imperfect; wanting 2 or 3 leaves of a table, (which table is
omitted to be noticed by La Serna Santander) and fol. 110 of the
text: thelatter being supplied by MS. The work itselfhas this prefix,
on fol. i. so numbered:
tie reme&ijgtjttius$ fortune pro$?ere scili$ et
afcuer^e per quettfca. 3L jroetam gregtantem necu
^acre Ctjeologie professorem erimium nouiter
copiiatug ©refacio iifiri incipit
There are neither signatures, nor catchwords, and a full page contains
27 lines. On the reverse of fol. 143, we read this colophon, printed
in red:
<$jepiitit lifrer ire remetrijg fortui
torum ca£uum nouiter apiiatu^
et imgresgug €oionie per 3smoi
trum tijer ijoemeit sfnitu& 3snno

The device, below, has only a part of the branch to which the shield
(as at page 320, ante) is suspended; and not the whole of the super-
added ornament there to be seen. This volume is among the very
earliest books which issued from the press of Ther Hoernen; and the
present sound and desirable copy of it, in old red-morocco binding,
formerly belonged to Thoresby, the antiquary.
