4 The punishing angels (remarks Clement) begin naturally with the
Head, and continue the destruction upon his followers.’ Consult the
Bibl. Curieuse, vol. iii. p. 327-33*2. Upon the whole, this is an extraor-
dinary and valuable impression; well meriting the beautiful blue
moroeco binding into which it has been recently and tastefully put by
C. Lewis.

Editio Princefs. This may be considered the earliest impression
of the above work. The printer of it has been supposed to be Husner;
from the resemblance of the types to those in the ‘ Preceptorium
Nideri,’ of the date of 1476; with the name of the latter expressly sub-
joined. De Bure is in all probability erroneous in assigning to this
work the date of ‘ about 1473/ Cat. de la Valliere, vol. iii. p 368. De
Murr, as Panzer justly remarks, has most inaccurately conceived the
volume to have been executed by Gunther Zainer : see the Annal. Typog.
vol. i. p. 86, n°. 455. On consulting, however, the Memorab. Bibl.
Nuremb. pt. i. p. 312, the notice of the present edition appears to be
vague in the extreme, The capital letters in this impression somewhat
resemble those of Csesaris and Stol: see vol. ii. p. 344: particularly
in the A and C. The following is a fac-simile of the first line of the
prefix to the prologue, here divided into two.

The lower-case type is broad in the face, but the lines are not com-
paratively thick. The prologue terminates on the recto of the 2d leaf:
and on the reverse of it begins the first chapter—

£De afcam <$ eua gomig parcntitm^ nogttig.

On the reverse of the 151st, and last leaf but 3, we read as follows:
