temporary marginal annotations.
Michael Puff von Schrick, born about 1400 at Schrick, a little Austrian village,
became Professor at the University of Vienna, and there he died in 1473. His present
well-known work on the destilled waters was written in 1455 and' revised by the
author in 1477. It is based probably on a similar writing by the Master Bartho-
lommaeus of Salerno. The book treats of the medical uses of the extracts destilled
from about 70 flowers or herbs.

A rare incunable from Treviso and the second dated
edition of Seneca’s Opera et Epistolae. Only two books and a
Pamphlet are known to have been printed by Bernhardus de Colonia at Treviso (1477
bis 1478), all of them being set in one and the same Gothic type. The colophon of
the present book is remarkable for containing the first mention of a Prin-
ter’s apprentice („famulus componentis“). The remark refers to a Printers
error on leaf o 7, where, on line '26, the text of the letter to Polybius immediately
follows upon that of the preceding letter without any intermediating space.
A copy with very full margins and decorated with Initials partly painted red or
blue, partly in both colours. In the first half there are some Contemporary marginal
annotations. On the opening is leaf an owner’s stamp: Exlibris Friedrich de Schennis
(— Schännis in the canton of St. Gall, Switzerland). Here and there a few brown
stains, but on the whole a good sound copy.
The original wooden boards bear on each side of the back a Slip of the original
pigskin cover remarkable for its fine blind-tooled Ornaments (apparently of Italian
workmanship): Rectangular stamps representing a running dog, lozenge-shaped stamps
with an upright lion. At the top of the front cover is a Contemporary inscription of
the title. Pasted inside both covers are woodcuts of saints printed in gold on dark-
blue paper (XIXth Century work).
In the chapter ,,De remediis fortuitorum“ there are some interesting paragraphs
such as: De ammissione oeulorum, de caecitate, de impotentia, de egritudine, etc.

Wahrscheinlich editio princeps. Laut Winship nur 1 Exemplar in USA. Gut
erhaltenes Exemplar in schwerem gothischen Einband. Die 10 runden Buckel messen
je ca. 5 cm im Durchmesser. Die Deckel sind durch dreifache Fileten diagonal u.
rautenförmig geteilt u. mit hübschen kleinen Stempeln verziert (Blüte, Hirsch, Lilie
u. Spruchband Maria). Am oberen Rand des Vorderdeckels die in gothischen Minuskeln
eingepreßte Inschrift ,,symon de cassia“. Auf dem Längsschnitt der Autor u. Titel

Das Leder des Vorderdeckels sowie die ersten Blätter sind etwas wurmstichig. Lt.

sein. Laut Vermerk im B. M. C. kann diese Ausgabe auch von Peter Drach in Speyer
gedruckt worden sein.
