Bandini lias reprinted all that is interesting in this preface, vvhich hears
date the 9th of October, 1497, and ends on the recto of the second leaf.
Beneath, we read a notice of errata, beginning thus :

'E.'urcivogQxxrsig rou nragovTog /3'iSxho .

Iv tm 'urgwTM TSTgafilco

I shall give a short specimen of these Corrigenda—relating chiefly to
an omission in the 5th leaf:

The errata may be said to contain two full pages : ending on the recto
of the 3rd leaf. The general title to the work is on the recto of the
ensuing leaf, sign. «i':

The signatures, to 0 inclusively, run in eights. The proverbs are
arranged in alphabetical order—as the prefixes of the respective
capital letters evince. On the recto of 9 vij, the work concludes thus :
