Latin verse.
This collection has been then greatly admired and has been translated into French, Italian

time. On 1. D, a cut showing Bacchus, drinking wine, on the left a grape-vine.
The very handsomely drewn title border is the work of the „Petrarca Master” (ot
Hans Welditz), cf. Musper p. 29, L 123. It represents several animals, on the lower part an ow
and on the right side ar great bird, perhaps a pelican.
Good copy, the margins of a few leaves slightly stained. The fine impression of the cuts
are entirely uncoloured.
