INCUNABULA.
Greek and Roman Classics", p. 204: “This is a very rare and valuable production, some copies
are thus dated M. C. LXXIIIII, leaving out the intermediate four cccc. The error was discovered
after a very few struck off and the greater part, therefore has the following regular subscription
MCCCCLXXIilll. The curious prefer those that have the omis of the four CCCC on account of
their rarity."
Unusually fine and large copy from the famous Library of the Earl of
Sunderland with its exlibris and with another exlibris of the Rosswinans library. At begin-
ning and at end a few insignificant wormholes. With note of ownership of Stephanus Baluzius
Tutelensis (Etienne Baluze), French scholar, born in 1630. From 1667 until 1700 he was in
charge of the invaluable library belonging to Colbert. In 1689 he was appointed professor of Ca-
non law at the College de France. He died in 1718.
Exceptionally fine and fresh copy with large margins, a few small wormholes
at beginning and at end.
99 SENECA, L. A. Opera. Treviso, Bernhard of Cologne, 1478.
Fol. Printed in a beautiful gothic letter, 53 lines to a full-page, 214 unn.
leaves with sign., the last blank cut away, capital spaces. Contemporary wooden
boards, the back covered with brown leather, partly rebacked, clasps gone. Frs. 1500.—
Hain-Cop.* 14591. Proctor 6484.
Of great rarity. Only three books are known to have been produced by this printer: an
edition of Maius in 1477, an undated pamphlet on the quarrel between the Pope and the Floren-
tines, and the above volume which is printed in a very neat Gothic type identical in appearance
with Johann of Amerbach’s second type and Koberger’s twenty-first. This is a very fine well
preserved copy of this exquisite piece of printing with exceptionally large margins.
On the first blank leaf note of ownership partly erased: Ad bibliothecam fratrum apud . . .
spectat liber iste datus a domino Johane sdiawr etc. parte testamenti domini Friderici prenner olim
Capellant sancte Catherine In Runkada Anno domini millesimo quingentesimo vicesimo secundo. In the
text some old marginal pen-notes.
Fine, large and clean copy of this second edition of the works of Seneca.

Hain*-Cop. 14594. Proctor 5221. Brit. A4us. Cat. V, p. 466.
Large and complete copy of principal works of Seneca, the rhetorician, and Seneca the
philosopher. The ten books „Controversiae“ of the elder Seneca are a collection of various
school themes and their treatment by Greek and Roman orators. Some chapters of the „Epistolae“
of Seneca the philosopher are of some medical interest: liiii. De morbo suspirii vel anhelitus etc.
Many underlines and marginal notes by an old hand, the first 11. stained. The blank margin of
the two first I. slightly damaged. Note of ownership on the title.

Monopoli, and died in 1490.

the headlines rather short cut, a few wormholes in blank margins, otherwise a clean and
nice copy. See ReprodUction, plate XV.
