The 6 following lea'ves, without numerals, contain the epistle of
Menander, and the Canons of the Evangelist; as in the edition of 1478.
The epistle of Menander is dedicated to Jacobus de Ysenaco. This
impression has neither signatures, nor catchwords. The present is a
fair copy, in. russia binding: from the Alchorne collection.
937. Bibeia Sacra. Germanice. Vrinted hy
Kohurger. Nuremherg. 1483. Folio.
This impression lias some pretension to the eulogy bestowed upon it
by Clement. Jt is finely printed, in a full fiowing charaeter, upon
paper of an excellent quality—* giving (says Clement) an agreeable
idea of the degree of perfection to which the art of printing had attained
about thirty years after the invention of moveable types.’ The wood-
cuts, which the same bibliographer designates as ‘ exceedingly well
engraved/ are in outline, upon wood, and rather above the ordinary
degree of merit of embellishments of this period. They are here
coloured throughout the volume. The prefix to the prologue of St.
Jerom is thus :

The leaves of the Old and New Testaments are numbered, conseeu-
tively,* to folio CCCCCLXXXIII: on the reverse of which is the
colophon, in 19 lines—the 10 last and most material lines being thus:
