LONDON:— MDCCGXLIII. TO THE LORD AKCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. Mt Lord, When I took the liberty to suggest the idea of printing such a List as that which I have now the honour to submit to your Grace, I was influenced by an impres- sion which has long possessed my mind, that, not merely the technical accuracy of bibliographers, but the highest interests of literature, are essentially promoted by what- ever tends to facilitate our reference to books which are not easily or frequently to be met with. Even their existence is perhaps known by but few, and to whatever department of literature such books may Jia pppiv fi i !i belong, it may very well happen that those who from ofl&ce, or by accident, know that they exist, have been engaged in other lines of enquiry, and have, therefore, had no particular motive or occasion for taking notice of them. Of the more extensive collections in this country, VI there are large and valuable catalogues ; and those who are competent to form any estimate of the knowledge and labour embodied in them, will be more ready to commend their extent and accuracy than to complain of their defects; and when to this is added a continual progress in multiplication and correction, what more can be desired ? These catalogues, too, are accessible to all who are in any degree competent to use them ; and by the knowledge and courtesy of those who have the charge of them, they are perhaps rendered as fully and extensively beneficial as they can be expected to be. But there are many libraries and collections of books, less extensive and less known, which contain some scarce books, and perhaps some which are not to be met with elsewhere; and it would be an invaluable benefit and assistance to the student in any kind of learning, if those who by purchase, or inheritance, or office, are trustees, not merely for their safe custody, but for their applica- tion to the purposes for which they were created, would, by a friendly interchange of catalogues, ensure his find- ing in each of these sacred depositories an account of the treasures contained in all. I do not, of course, mean full catalogues, where, as is natural, three-fourths, or nine-tenths, of a collection may consist of well-known books, which are, and ought to be, in every library, but merely lists comprising the small minority which are known to be of less frequent occurrence.* Such lists might be furnished with a very little trouble, and at an expense beneath consideration. With them, indicating many long lost and forgotten sources of information, we should, I doubt not, discover much truth, not merely in what may be called bibliography, — though that science is of greater extent, value, and dignity, than many who use the word inconsiderately may suppose, — but in history, in science, and with regard to the acts and opinions of some whose characters are best worthy of our study. Perhaps I use the word bibliography improperly, for I do not mean the technical knowledge of degrees of rarity, and better or worse edi- * It may perhaps illustrate my meaning, if I briefly refer to two collections in very different circumstances. It is well known that Selden's library was deposited at Oxford, and those who are ac- quainted with the " Proposals" made by his executors to the Uni- versity, wiU remember a stipulation that all duplicates should be returned to them; but few, I apprehend, know what became of those duplicates, or are aware that they are stiU preserved in a col- lected state, in the library of the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester. I do not mean by this to suggest that they, and the whole of the library of which they form a part, have not always been most libe- rally communicated for the promotion of learning, (indeed I should be of all men the most ungrateful, if I did not thankfully embrace every opportunity of acknowledging the kindness and confidence Vlll tions, and copies on pink paper, and the like ; all this may be an innocent amusement for a gentleman, and a profitable study for a tradesman, and it is well that there should be persons who find pleasure or advantage in collecting and communicating information, even on those points ; but it is not what I here refer to. Nor do I mean merely that knowledge of books (valuable as it is) which may be gained from literary history. I mean such a knowledge of books as, if it may not aspire to be called learning, is one of learning's best helps. In the first place, the knowledge of the fact that certain books do exist on certain subjects — a« species of knowledge apparently very simple, but really very important, and which would have saved many a writer from the disap- pointment of having to throw aside the labour of years by which the Dean and Chapter obliged me during many years,) but it is likely that some who used the library did not know that it contained a part of Selden's curious collection; for scarcely any book bore his name, and very few any indication but his Greek motto. It might not occur, even to those who knew that Sir Matthew Hale, the principal executor, was a G-loucestershire man, to look for the duplicates in that county. Again; any one engaged in writing the history of the Reformation in Germany, or, more par- ticularly, the history of the cultivation of Hebrew literature by Christians, and the controversy with which it was attended, would not, perhaps, think of searching the library of the Royal Society; yet it would be particularly well worth his while. IX on finding that it had been anticipated; or perhaps, from the greater inconvenience of being informed after publi- cation, that what he had said had been much better said, and fully refuted, before he was born. Secondly, in what I may perhaps be allowed to call a personal acquaintance with books — ^being conversant with the books themselves, so as to give to each some sort of per- sonal identity, and not to conceive that every reference at the bottom of a page is of equal authority, as being to something which one never saw, or could expect to see. It would not be easy — and in addressing your Grace there is no need — to define all the advantages arising from this species of knowledge. . Nor is this the place to attempt it, or to specify all the evils which I believe to have arisen in the course of the past century, to the church in particular, from the want of it; but I trust that I do not too far presume on the kindness with which your Grace has always permitted me to express my opinions, if I take this occasion to state the belief, forced on me by many years of observation and reflection, that there is no point in which the highest courses of educa- tion in this country have been more defective ; and no defect which has given a greater advantage to. foreign scholars and divines, who, while perhaps really inferior to our own in genius and scholarship, had been better in- b structed as to the sources of information, and were able with greater ease to approach them. I have no idea that when I went to reside in Gloucester, somewhat more than twenty years ago, I could have consulted a copy of any edition of the Councils, without travelling more than a hundred miles; though indeed it is pos- sible that one, or perhaps each one, of the three cathe- dral cities which are nearer than Oxford, might have saved a little distance. I am thankful that withia a few years a sense of deficiency on this point appears to have been felt, and libraries have sprung up, or been revived and brought into greater use in various places, ■ to the great benefit, I doubt not, of all classes, but especially of the clergy, who have been, during the same period, both stimulated and enabled with greater facility to collect books for their private use. Should this have been in any case, or degree, owing to the influence of example, to the care and munificence which they have seen exercised by your Grace with respect to more than one or two libraries, or to the judgment and liberality displayed through many years, and in various stations of eminence, while forming a private collection, of an in- trinsic value seldom equalled, it is only one if far from the greatest, not the least— of the unostentatious benefits conferred by your Grace on the Church of England. XI It is unnecessary, and it might be deemed impertinent, to specify any libraries, which would probably furnish very valuable lists ; and I am the less tempted to enter into particular statements on this point, because the library which your Grace has been pleased to confide to my care, furnishes a very instructive, though not, I apprehend, a singular illustration. How such a collec- tion, one from its notorious circumstances so open to suspicion, which had belonged to Archbishops Bancroft, Abbott, and Tenison, and containing thousands of books collected by each of those Primates — the library to which Cave and Wharton were professedly indebted for their knowledge of some of the rarest books which they have described in their Historia Literaria — re- peatedly referred to in the works of Herbert and Dibdin - — how, I repeat, such a library should have got through the century since Maittaire, (including the searching period of bibliomania,) with only a few scattered refer- ences to its existence, is more than I can understand. In drawing up the following list, I have not used so much research as I should have done, if I had considered the question of rarity more important, and had had nothing else to do ; but still I have with some care con- sulted such bibliographical works as were at hand, and the result is this — there are in the list, I believe, rather xn more than four hundred foreign books printed before the year 1520, and of about one hundred I have not met with any account ; and among the English books printed before the year 1550, amounting to about two hundred, there are between thirty and forty with respect to which I am in the same predicament. It is true that in turn- ing over the pages of Panzer and Seemiller, or Herbert and Dibdin, I may have overlooked notices of some; and even if I have not, it is far from my intention to represent them as unique; for though my not having found them described in the copious lists referred to, leads me to suppose that they are far from common, yet I have a good deal of suspicion about libri rarissimi, and should fully expect the publication of such Lists as I desire, to diminish their number, and bring to light more copies and more varieties of rare books, as well as some copies of books now entirely unknown. I am quite sensible of the evil which has arisen, from some writers on books having taken it for granted that what was unknown to them was scarce or rare. That evil has been increased, by feelings very natural to both the buyers and sellers of books. The pleasure of possess- ing that which others admire, but cannot obtain, makes the collector very ready to believe that what he has is rare and precious ; and if he who wishes to keep his books Xlll is tempted to over-estimate, still more is he who wishes to sell them. Such feelings as these, in both buyers and sellers, were stimulated beyond measure some years ago, by the enormous prices paid for books whose only pre- tence to value was grounded on their rarity. The extra- vagant passion to which I refer, led, indeed, to a sad display of folly and knavery; but it has almost passed away, and when it appears, it is generally seen to have subsided into a form and measure which is honest and harmless, if not beneficial ; and whatever mischief might be done to the credit or fortune of individuals during the outbreak of black-letter enthusiasm, we are now, in vari- ous ways, reaping the benefit. It brought into notice the literature still too much — ^till then almost entirely — unknown of a period most interesting and important in the history, especially the church history, of our country ; and by so doing it has thrown light upon, and even in some degree familiarized us with, the opinions, habits, and all the circumstances of our forefathers. As to its effects on literature, the mere fact of such enormous sums being connected with old and rare books, simply because they were old and rare, and not because anybody ever thought of reading them, led to a general search and a general respect for such things, and difiused a con- servative spirit in their behalf. Those who esteemed XIV them for nothing else, and saw and understood nothing else in them, worshipped them for their money value. Those who merely knew that there were others, who, for some inscrutable reason, considered them worth their weight in gold, gave over destroying them. The inves- tigation, too, of the relics themselves, tended to enlarge the sphere of men's knowledge. Even those who pursue the matter most technically can hardly collect and dis- cuss titles and colophons without gaining (or at least giving) information on many matters far and wide from mere bibliography. Perhaps, too, we may ascribe, in some degree at least, to the impulse thus given the more zealous and active, but sober spirit which has originated, within these few years, such societies as the English Historical, the Irish Arch^ological, the Camden, the iElfric, &c. Having thus stated the motives and feelings under which I have compiled this List, I would trespass on your Grace's attention by adding a few words on the form which it has assumed. My original intention was to give a list of all the books in the Library, which had been printed before the year 1550. I found them, how- ever, to be so numerous that I abandoned the design, and resolved to give only the english books up to that period, and to confine the foreign books to those printed XV in the fifteenth century. The division which makes a separate class of what have been called " fifteeners'' seems, at first sight, natural, and has been made by so many bibliographers* that I adopted it without much reflec- tion ; and, indeed, on a principle of which I still feel the force — namely, that owing to the late introduction, and the slow and circumscribed progress of printing in this country, there is something not very unlike in the degree of rarity, and (if I may so speak) comparative antiquity, of foreign books printed before a.d. 1500, and English ones printed before 1550. But the adoption of this imaginary line which divides the centuries is really mis- chievous in bibliography, because it severs the later from the earlier productions of some of those who may be con- sidered as belonging to the first race of printers, and whose works it is very desirable to keep together. I believe, therefore, that I have done right in extending the notice to foreign books printed before the year 1520, though it has increased the bulk of the work, and though (not having been decided on until the former part was in the press) the List is thereby broken into more divisions than I wished or intended. But though so many divi- * Seemiller, Santander, Laire, and some more modern writers. With Panzer it is only the great division of his work, and the second part goes on to a.d. 1536. XVI sions may appear to be unnecessary and useless, I hope they will prove no real inconvenience ; and I am more concerned that their number should be increased by so large a list of Addenda. It may naturally be thought that I should have waited until I had got together all the works which were included in the terms of the List ; but, indeed, I had quite as much confidence that I had done so a year ago as I have now ; and it would be impossible to obtain anything like satisfaction, except by a minute inspection of every volume in the Library. I had no other means (and was not at first so well aware that further means were so much wanted) than to select from the catalogues such books as appeared to come within the prescribed limits. This with regard to books published without dates was, of course, a matter of uncer- tainty. Beside this, more than a century has elapsed since the principal catalogue was made, containing most of the more ancient books. Such works were not then made with as much fulness and precision as is now expected ; and giving all due credit to those by whom it was compiled, it may easily be believed that some of the books in the following List were standing in the catalogue with wrong dates, while others had escaped without any notice, because, perhaps, they consisted of only a few leaves, forming one of ten or twelve black-letter tracts XVll bound up in one volume ; or because they were annexed (simply on account of their size, and to save expense in binding) to books with which they had no sort of con- nexion. It may also be imagined, that during so long a period many other circumstances, such as additions, alterations of arrangement, &c., have combined to render the catalogue a very imperfect guide. In the collation which took place as printing went on, suspicion was raised that a stricter search might add some articles to the List. There was, indeed, no guide for such a vague inquiry, except the external appearance of the books ; but I am indebted to it for most of the articles in the Addenda ; and I hope that no considerable number of boolss which should appear in the following work, have been over- looked. Still it is so probable that some have escaped, that I should not venture to call it anything but a list of " some" of the early printed books, even if that quali- fication were not required by my having purposely omitted two very small classes, of which only the very earliest specimens could have been admitted, and which, with their subsequent editions, may more properly form separate lists. An account of the English Bibles to be found in the library, is, indeed, already in print, and the English Prayer Books, though one or two volumes might have claimed a place in these pages, should be all c XVIU together in a list of the liturgical works in which the library is so rich. I cannot but fear, my Lord, that beside being imper- fect, this work contains many errors and oversights, for which I can ofiier no excuse but that I took pains to avoid them; but such as it is, I trust that your Grace will accept it as a proof of my desire to use the privilege and perform the duty with which your Grace has honoured me, and to shew myself Your Grace's thankful and dutiful servant, S. E. MAITLAND. ADVERTISEMENT. There is always some difficulty in deciding on the order to be followed in making a List of Books. The obvious modes of arrangement are chronological, alphabetical, according to their subjects, or their printers, or the places where they were printed. For these books, which already form part of an alphabetical catalogue, and which have been selected from it merely on the ground of their age, it seemed qjiite clear that the chronological arrangement was the most proper, and that some, if not all, of the benefits belonging to any other method, might be easily obtained in the form of Indices. It will be observed that I have most commonly stated, respecting each book, whether it is, or is not, noticed in some well-known bibliographical work. With regard to English books, (by which I mean all books printed in England, and all books in the English language printed abroad,) the re- ference is generally made to Herbert's edition of Ames's Typographical Antiquities, or to Dr. Dibdin's reprint of that work ; while for the foreign books I have usually referred to Panzer's Annals. I am aware that these works are, as all such works must be, very imperfect ; and that it is nothing to wonder at, and no proof of extreme rarity, if a book is XX not noticed in them ; but yet it appears worth while to notice the fact for several reasons. In the first place, if a book is not in Dibdin or Panzer (as the case may be), it ought to be there, and it is by such trifling contributions that appendices are collected, and works of that nature are rendered less imperfect. Again, to say that a book is not in Panzer, is to say that it is not in a great many other catalogues and collections, as every one who has looked over that writer's " Index Fontium" will readily understand ; and though this may be no proof of extreme rarity, it is a clear indication that the book is far from common. If, on the other hand, a book is in Dibdin or Panzer, such a reference serves to identify it. It will be understood that I never make a simple reference to any bibliographer without having consulted his work, and taken some pains to satisfy myself that the book before me is identically the same book and edition as that of which he speaks ; and the benefit of this will be obvious to those, who have been puzzled by the ambiguity and doubt which too often arise from the brevity, obscurity, and errors of titles, which, having been variously given by different writers, have been copied over and over again, with addi- tional variations, until imaginary books and editions have been created, and real ones are scarcely to be recognised. Beside this, a reference to the works of Panzer, Herbert, or Dibdin, is in most cases a reference to sources of farther information respecting the book ; and, at the same time, the reader who derives that benefit may firequently repay it, by correcting mistakes which he will find in those works, and in the sources from whence they have been compiled. This is one reason why I have given the titles and colophons of the books forming this list, more fully than might at first seem necessary. I could not, for instance. XXI give a simple reference to Panzer for any book, without either seeming to acquiesce in, and even vouch for, the title as it stands in his Annals, or else minutely pointing out the variations, which he who compares this list with the work of Panzer will find to be so numerous, that it would have been a tiresome as well as an invidious task. I have therefore generally given the whole of the title-page, and stated that I have done so ; but whether the whole or not, it may always be understood that firom the beginning of the article to the marks of quotation " is strictly copied irom the beginning of the title-page. With regard to colophons, I have sometimes given them in full; but they are so frequently rendered tedious by repetitions of titles, that I have often copied only a part. The former is indicated by the phrase, "The colophon is," &c., and the latter by, "In the colophon is," &c. ; but in either case, what follows between marks of quotation is meant, and believed, to be an exact copy from the book. By an exact copy I do not mean a facsimile; and it will be obvious that I have not followed the varieties of Gothic, black, and secretary letter. Neither have I attempted to give all the contractions and singular marks which are to be found in some early books. For some, perhaps, no modern printer has equivalent type ; and some, if they were imitated, would only serve to render the work tiresome, if not un- intelUgible, to most readers. I have, however, retained a good many of the more obvious contractions ; and though I have written many words at length which were contracted, yet I have not introduced contractions where I did not find them ; so that where they do appear, they may be considered as adding to the exactness of the copy. Those who are sharp-sighted in such matters will perceive that in some cases xxu I have been obUged to be content with such approximations as modern typography affords; but it appeared to me that the matter could not be carried further withont expensive trifling. I have in all cases retained the spelling, except that in books after the year 1510, I have not kept up the distinction between the § and ae, there being no real difference, and it being found inconvenient to maintain the distinction. One object, however, being to identify, I have of course copied misprints and most unnatural punctuation, as well as com- plied with what now appears a strange use of small and capital letters, except that sometimes I have given pro- minence to the name of a book, or an author, by putting it in capitals ; and, on the other hand, where several words or sentences, or perhaps a whole title or colophon, were in capital letters, I have not felt it necessary to imitate the peculiarity. I mention these circumstances, because they may explain some things in the following pages which have an uncouth appearance; and I trust they will prevent the reader from laying the blame of any such thing at my door, without having compared it with the original. Without this, I am afraid that I am responsible for too many errors ; but the difiiculty of avoiding them, in printing a work of this nature, can be understood only by those who have tried the experiment. I may be allowed, however, to add, that there is one ground on which this List may claim to be considered as of some value. It is that (except what is plainly and par- ticularly acknowledged) not one word of title, colophon, or description, has been taken at second hand, or derived from any source whatever but the book itself.

Does the Arch- deacon's language warrant our supposing that these books were sold in some part of the principal (since that time the Cathedral) church of St. Donatian, at Bruges, as some of our Caxton's were printed " in thabbay of Westmynstre," or does it refer merely to some one of such small houses or shops, built against the church, as may be seen in a more modern representation of it ?

Dr. Dihdin, speaking of them, says — " These two small volumes, which are to he found in most collec- tions of Gaxton's pieces, have not heen clearly described by either Ames or Herbert ; although they were once, and still are, held in respect by the Anti- quary The Lambeth copy of these two works, ftom which the foregoing extracts have heen taken, is probably the finest one ever seen. The book is generally in a dirty and cropt condition, but the Archbishop's copy is quite clean, and has a large paper aspect." — Typ. Ant. I. 87, 88. Two leaves, however, s. 4 and 5, are from a smaller copy. The work is also described by Dibdin, Bib. Spenc, Vol, IV. p. 227. 1481. 11. PiiATiNA in vitas summorum Pontificum. Nuremberge per Ant.

Quare merito inter Bibliothecarum cimelia refertur.'' Vol. II. p. 91. 14. "Liber Moralium super trenis iheremie prophete." This is the head title of the beginning of the work on c i, as it has no title-page. The colophon is, " Explicit expositio ac moralisatio tereii capituli trenorum Jheremie prophete.

No place or printer is mentioned ; but Her- bert (toI. iii. p. 1394), from the type, assigns it to Hunt, or Rood, of Oxford. 15. Sermones Sensati. As the volume begins on a ii, a title-page may be wanting. The colophon is, "Sermones sensati multum edificativi et multis Christi fidelibus Dei done profuturi per Gerardum Leeu in Gouda arte impressoria sunt completi. Anno Dni 1482. Mensis Februarii die xx.

The colophon gives the date in figures, 1483 ; but no name of place or printer. Folio. ix. 4. 12. f. On the top of the first page is " Thomas Cantuarien." the autograph of Archbishop Cranmer ; and at the hottom, " Lumley." On the inside of the cover is written, " Hoc volnmen oonceditur ad usum fratrum minorum de observantia Cantuarie ;" and there is at the end a MS. index, apparently in the same hand. Described by SeemUler, II. 126, who gives no suggestion as to the place or printer. It may probably be identified by the very singular initial letters ; especially the first, which is a C, about two inches in diameter, and composed of five human figures curiously intertwined, their legs or arms or other parts of their bodies pierced by the reeds which appear to hold them together. This is a very elaborate piece of workmanship, and unlike all the others ; which are extremely rude in execution, though tasteful in design, and some of them very singular. One, which is about an inch and five-eighths in diameter, is used for a C, or by inverting it for a D, indifferently. See Note A. 1484. 25. Sermones Socci de Tempore cum triplici eorum re- gistro." This is all the title. After the Sermones de Tem- pore is this colophon : — " Opus preclarum Sermonum Socci de tempore sic dictorum . cum de suco id est de medulla sacre pagine : stilo sub obscuro exquisitissime sint coUecti . denique 10 1484. a Johaane de Griiningen magistro impressorie artis famoso diligenter in inclita ciuitate Argentina elaborati anno a Christi nativitate M CCCC.LXXXIIII.pridie ydus februarii . ex- plicit feliciter." Then the Sermones de Sanctis, and a colo- pljpn, " Sermones Socci de Sanctis flosculis melliflui doctoris Sancti Bernardi pre ceteris utcunque exornati . A sagaci viro Johanni de Griiningen : in inclita Argentinen . civitate dili- genter elaborati . anno a Christi nativitate . 1484 . ydus mensis aprilis Expliciunt feliciter." Fol. eights. . . . i. 6. 19. f. On the leaf before the Prologus is written : — " Liber Monasterii beate marie de gciis juxta turrim London Ord. Cist, ex dono Mri. Willelmi Wroksam sacre theologie professoris A°. Dni mlxxxxiiij regente pio patre dompno Johanne Langton Abbate.'" Laire says (Part IL p. 80), — " De insigni raritate hujus editionis vide. Freytag analecta litter, pag. 873, et sequen- tibus. Tantam esse hujus raritatem dicitur catalog. Biblioth. Reimman. Tom. prime, pag. 148, ut ex miUihus vix unus reperiatur." I have not Freytag's work at hand, -which may refer to this edition ; but Reimman seems to be speaking of another, which he describes as " Editio antiquissima sine die et con- sule, in ipsis typographiae incunabulis excusa,'' which agrees better with the edition which Laire had himself previously described at Part L p. 185. But what Laire refers to does not respect any particular edition of the book, but the work in general. Reimman says, that the book of which he spoke was worthy attention in three points of view. First, as a specimen of ancient typography j secondly, for the things contained in it, which are " acntae satis pro eo tempore ;" and thirdly, because the work itself was so scarce that hardly one person in a thousand had ever heard the author's name. " Et operis ipsius raritas, quae tanta est, ut ex millibus vix unus sit, per cujus aures nomen auctoris unquam ierit." — Bib. Reim. vol. i. p. 148. 26.

The- colophon is, " Expliciunt sententie libri secundi magistri Hugonis de Sancto Victore de incarna- tione verbi . et impletione et exhibitione gratie Dei . et de sacramentis novi testamenti usque ad finem et consumma- tionem omnium feliciter.

Sm. folio, col. eights and sixes xxxviii. 2. 23. f. This very rare volume is shewn by many manuscript notes and a table of contents to have belonged to Archbishop Tenison. As it is not altogether im- possible that it may be the only perfect copy of the book in existence, I may, perhaps, be allowed to say more of it than it would be convenient to insert in this place, and therefore I refer to Note C. 31. The Book of Good Manners; which was made and compiled by the venerable Frere Jaques le Graunt. The full colophon is, " C Explicit, et hie est finis, per Caxton &c.

At paucissimis tamen eam videre contigit," III, 67. Dr. Dibdin has since devoted more than twelve pages of his Bibliotheca Spenceriana to a description of it, with fac similes of eight of its engravings. This copy has the " highly ornamented leaf," which was wanting in the copy described by him, and is, I beUeve, perfect. He adds, " It is no small criterion of the pe- cuniary worth of this Editio Princeps, that the first edition of the French Version of it, printed in 1488, was purchased at the Roxburgh sale, by the Duke of Devonshire, for 84?.

The third has Archbishop Bancroft's arms. I believe this to be the original edition, unseen by any bibliographer whose works I have met with ; and I have found a notice of the existence of only one other copy, which belongs to the Douce collection in the Bodleian Library.

But his account is not very clear, and it will be seen that the order of the words in the title, as here given, differs slightly from his quotation of it. He describes this as the " Premiere edition d'une compilation impure d'ouvrages fabriques, qui ont induit en erreur bien des sa- vans," in opposition to P. Audiffredi, who contends for an edition by the same printer in the preceding year. 83. Hoke presentes ad usum Sarum impresse fuerunt Pari- sius per Phihppum Pigouchet Anno Salutis .

That which is here the second leaf, bearing the signature 3, leads me to sup- pose that there is a title-page wanting. Fol. XLVI is missing. It is a curious feature of this edition (described by Dibdin, Bib, Spenc. II. 87), that it is adorned with pictures the width of a folio page, consisting of combinations of .various wood-euts so contrived as to make something like a whole. The cuts are many, and the combinations almost innumerable. See Note G. 85.

Incipit Speculum humane salvationis : in quo patet casus et ruina hominis et modus reparationis." This is the head title of " folio IL," the title-page having been apparently torn out. There should be forty-four leaves numbered, and after them four, (of table of contents,) on the recto of the last of which is the brief colophon, " C Finis . ex Paris . 1498." 8° col xxvii. 7. 12. 8° As it belongs to the same year and place as tie preceding Dictionarius Pau- 1498, 1499. 31 perum, -which it is bound with and exactly resembles in type, I should, without hesitation, assign it to the same printer, Andreas Bocard, but that the article next before the Dictionarius Pauperum, in Panzer, is " *478, Speculum salua- tionis humanae modum ruine reparationisque generis humani complectens cunctis verbi dei seminatoribus perquam vtile ac neeessarium . Parisiisper M. Durand Gerlier 1498. 8." For this he gives no reference but " Bohngaro-Crev. I. p. 148." So that in his authority, whatever this book was, it seems to have folbwed the Dictionarius Pauperum (for which he refers to p. 147) as it does here, though he has transposed them. It may be added, that both in the colo- phon which I have given from the book, and in that given by Panzer, the date is given in Arabic numerals ; which helps to confirm the suspicion of identity, and leads to a supposition that the printer's name, as given by Panzer, was a conjecture. If so, I do not deny that it may be right ; but, as I have already said, the two books which I have compared seem to me to be the work of the same printer. 87. Tractatus fructus saceamenti cum figura de divi- sione virtutum." It begins on a it with this head title, " C Tractatus qui dicitur fructus sacramenti penitencie editus per doctissimum virum magistrum Jacobum lupi bebello in quo propositiones valde perutiles de penitencia continentur Feliciter incipit."

Aks Moriendl Fol i. 6. 11. f. Twelve leaves are bound in after the " Pronosticatio" already mentioned, No. 42. They are printed on only one side, and consist of alternate wood-cuts and corresponding letter-press, also cut in blocks, and evidently form a part of one of the very rare early editions of that book ; though I am not able to iden- tify them with any one which I find described by bibliographers, for the reasons stated in Note K. 99. Bartholomeus Pisanus ; — " Summa venerabilis fratris 36 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATES Bartholomei pisani, ordinis fratrum predicatorum, in qua de casibus et consiliis ad animam seu conscientiam pertinentibus studiosissime tractatur, incipit feliciter." This is a head title to a column. There is no colophon. FoHo. . viii. 4. 11. f. Some verses at the end shew that it was printed by Martin Crantz, Ulric Gering, and Michael Frihurger, at Paris, and therefore prohahly about the year 1475. See Maittaire, I. 345. Panzer has given these verses, Vol. II. p. 339 ; and must be, I presume, describing the same book ; but the title which he gives has " de sancto concordio" after "Bartholomei," changes "predicatorum" into "predican- tium," omits " studiosissime," and alters " tractatur" to " tractat." He refers to Maittaire, p. 345 ; Laire Ind. I. p. 171 ; and De la Vail. I. p. 231. I have only the two former at hand, and they do not countenance these alterations, except that Laire omits " studiosissime." Bellamere Egidius de. See No. 120. (e) 100.

It is the edition mentioned by Panzer, IV. 119 ; but what he gives as the IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 37 title, is in fact the head-title on % iU ; and it is here preceded by a leaf contain- ing the table of contents. The leaves in this copy have been numbered with a pen ; if rightly, they are 259, not includmg that which has the table of contents. CoLLECTARiuM. See No. 136. 102. The Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers; — There is no title, and the only colophon is, " C Caxton me fieri fecit." Fol No. 1092 (a) MS. " In the year 1477 appeared the first book from the press of Caxton with the year and place both subjoined to the colophon : this was called ' The Dictes or Sayinges of the Philosophers.' " Dibdin, Typ. Ant. I. civ. He afterwards says, " Of this work there are two differently printed editions The libraries of his Majesty, Earl Spencer, and the Marquis of Blandford, each contain a copy of this curious volume ; and in the Lambeth library there is one of the second edition, which has the unique distinction of the printer's large device impressed onjthe recto of the first leaf, numbered 1092" [that is, in the Lambeth catalogue]. " This is the earliest known instance of such an impression." Ibid. p. 72. The same writer has given more than six pages to an account of this volume (Bibl. Spencer. Vol. IV. p 210), which he begins by saying, " There are probably at least three editions of this very interesting volume ; but I hesitate to which of them to attribute the priority. The noble owner of this collection possesses two out of the three, which are here described: the third, seems to be the one which has Caxton's large mark on the recto of the first leaf, 31 lines in a full page, signatures throughout, and the words ' Caxton me fieri fecit.' on the recto of I, T, or last leaf. Of the latter description appear to be the copies in the Lambeth and Lee Priory collections." In the Supplement to that work he adds, on No. 1106, p. 121, " Since the descriptions of the two editions of this work in the JSibl. Spencer, vol. iv. p. 210 — 218, the present, which I have ventured to call the third edition, has been procured. It contains the device of the printer on the recto of the first leaf, of which I had imagined (Typog. Antiq. vol. i. p. 72) that the copy in the Lambeth library presented the only specimen. It should seem, therefore, that the Lambeth volume and the present are only copies of the same edition I apprehend it to be the rarest of all the impressions." DioNYSius DE Leuwis. See No. 130. (g) 103. DuBANDi Rationale divinorum officiorum. The colophon is only " Explicit ronale divinor. officior . Deo 38 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATES gras." Fol., col., 35 lines beside the headline, with no date, and no name of printer or place vii. 4. 1. f. On the back of the last leaf is written, " Wm. Myngaye lent to Joan. Fox ;" and at the head of the first page is written, " Joh Foxns." This volume does not agree with any description which I have yet met with ; and the type so ex- actly resembles that in which the colophon of the edition of 1459 was printed by Fust and Schoyffer, that I have no doubt of its being the production of their press. See Note L. 104. Fasciculus Temporum. Without date, or name of place, or printer. Folio xx. 5. 13. f. It differs widely from the copy already described (No. 2), and also from those described by Panzer and Seemiller. The history is only brought up to the year 1474 ; but this is no criterion of the date, as the editions of that year seem ts have been merely reprinted, without addition, some years afterwards. On a i begins a table of contents in three columns of fifty lines, the first of them being headed. " Tabula brevis et vtilis super libello quodam qui dicitur Fasci- culus temporum Incipit felioiter. Et est adnectendum quod nbi invenitur punctus ante numerum : id quod queritur est in ejusdem folii primo latere . vbi vero post : in secundo inuenitur." This table consists of eight leaves, the reverse of the eighth blank ; then a blank leaf. At the head of the next page (sig. a i) begins, without heading or initial, [G] " enekatio et generatio laudabit opera tua," &c. On a ii the work itself begins, headed, " Fasciculus temporum omnes antiquas cronicas complectens . admissus ab alma universitate Colonien . incipit felioiter." This goes on a 8, b 8, c 6, d 8, e 6, f 8, g 6, h 8, i 8. On the recto of this eighth leaf (the reverse of which is blank) is the colophon, which gives no information as to the date, place, or printer. The pages in this copy are numbered with a pen to 65, beginning with a i of the Prohemium, and not in- cluding the blank page at the end. The water marks are various ; beside the heifer's head and the pot, there is one which must be, I presume, that which Cle- ment assigns to the Dresden copy of the " Ars moriendi," and which he describes as " une haute croix elevee sur trois montagnes." {Bib. Cur. Tom. II. p. 143.); 105. Gersoni Alphabetum divini amoris. It has no title of any kind, but the prohemium begins at the top of the first page, (sign, aa,) with no initial or heading. There are fifteen leaves ; and I presume they should be followed by a blank one ; but the work ends on the recto of the fifteenth IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 39 with this colophon, " Explicit ■ Alphabetum divini amoris, de eleuatione mentis in Deum venerabilis magistri Joannis Ger- son • Cancellarii parisien . Impresu3 [sic] Louanii per me Joan- nem de westfalia." Fol. 41 long lines, large paper, viii. 4. 8. f. Panzer, IX. 243 ; where he should say folio, instead of quarto, as he refers to Lambihet, p. 252, vrho is speaking of this hook. 106. , Regale mandatorum Johannis de ger- sonno cancellarii parisiensis." This title is over the device of Denis Roce. The colophon is, " C Tractatus magistri Jo- hannis de Gersonno ecclesie parisiensis Cancellarii de reguMs mandatorum qui stringit conclusionum processum fere totam theologiam practicam et moralem finit feliciter . Impressus Parisii per Johannem ysabel commorantem in coUegio triqueti pro . Dionisio Roce commorante in vico Sancti Jacobi ad intersignum sancti martini." 12° size, eights, twenty-eight leaves, gothic type, 33 long lines xxxix. 4. 34. The reverse of the last leaf contains four -wood-cuts, each rather more than an inch and a half high, and rather more than an inch wide, representing re- spectively the meeting of Elizabeth and the Virgin, the Crucifixion, the Adoration of the Magi, and a fourth subject, on which I do not undertake to decide. I do not feel sure that the book ought to be in this list ; I find no account of it, or of Johannes Ysabel as a printer. GORRIS GUILLERMUS. V. No. 128. 107. GoTiDA, GuiLiELMUS DE ; — Expositio mysteriorum misse et verus modus rite celebrandi." This is the whole of the proper title. The head title at the beginning of the next page is " Tractatus de expositione misse editus a fratre GuiLHELMus DE GouDA ordinis minorum de observantia in- cipit feliciter." In the colophon, " Impressus Colonie per Henricum Quentell sacerdotibus devote celebrare volentibus utilis et necessarius." Quarto, containing sign, a, b, and c, in sixes xxvii. 5. 2. 8° (2.) Panzer, I. 340, whose only reference is Braun, II. p. 15. 40 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATES 108.

Sm. foL col. sixes and eights iv. 4. 1. £ There is, properly speaking, no colophon ; hut a notice respecting the tahle of contents, -which is assigned to John Rosenbach of Nuremberg, and the date of the prefixed letter being also from that place, seem to indicate the place ■where it was printed. That letter is dated 1496. After this work follows, in the same volume, and the same type, but with fresh foliation and signatures — 109. Tractatus Guilhermi Parisien de sacramentis . cur deus homo et de penitentia." After this, again in the same form — 110. GuiLHERMUS Parisien. de Vniverso." This volume contains only as far as the end of the second division of the first part of the work ; but that is aE that is described by Panzer (Vol. II. p, 221), without any intimation of imperfection. I give these tracts as separate articles, because they seem to be such, and are so described by Panzer. It is probable, however, that they were frequently united in one volume. Seemiller gives them so, though just in the inverted order. He says, " Tria haec uno apud nos quidem volumine continentur, sunt- que eodem charactere gothico in duabus columnis impressa. Ex epistolis Nro 3 . praefixis non obscure colligitur opera hsec Norimbergce per Anton. Koburger circa ann. 1496 . esse impressa .

SCU GuiLHERMUS PaRISIENSIS ; " PoS- tilla Guillerini super Epistolas et Evangelia de tempore et de Sanctis et pro defiinctis, summa diligentia iterum bene emen- data." Quarto, uncut xxvi. 6. 10. 8™ I do not find any account of this book, which is imperfect, and may have had a colophon. The title given above is over a wood- cut three inches and three- eighths wide, and three inches and seven-eighths high, in the centre of which are the letters ti^s between four circular pictures containing the symbols of the four evangeUsts. It is foUated, and the word " Pagina" stands on one side, and the number on the other, as head lines, in a large gothic type. The text is IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 41 printed in a larger gothic type than the commentary which surrounds it. In a full page there are 47 lines of the small type, besides the head line. It seems probable that it ought not to be in this list Hugo Cardinalis. See No. 130. (d) 112. Leopold St. A volume of tracts and documents re- lating to the canonization of St. Leopold. (a) Begins " Emitte lucem tuam," &c. It contains i) in a gothic letter ; the last leaf being quite blank, and the pre- ceding one containing only the register. On the reverse of the leaf before that is the colophon, " C Finis relationis facte per reverendum patrem dominum Johannem Franciscum de PAUiNis de padua sacre theologie ac juris utriusque doctorem Et causarum Sacri pallacii apostolici auditorem . Sanctissimi . D. N. Capellanum alterum ex tribus capellanis ad summarium faciendum de processibus hujusmodi canonizationis specialiter deputatum." xxv. 4. 27. 8° This must, I presume, be the work mentioned by Panzer, IV. 173, as part of No. 925, under the title of " Compendiosa relatio," &c. He calls it quarto, and cites only " Denis Suppl. p. 633," adding, " Editio repetita, ut videtur, in Ger- mania." Then follows — (b) " Sedente Ljnocentio octavo pontifice maximo Frede- rico iii . Imperatore suadente ab francisco appellato patauo iuriscons . atque advocato Consistoriali et pauperum equite et comite oratore habita die xii kind decembris anno salutis M.cccc.lxxxiiii. publico consistorio." This tract is the same type, and consists of eleven leaves. It appears to be the same as that mentioned by Panzer, IV. 173, No. 926, except that the title which he gives states the oration to have been delivered "die 17. kal.xbris." His only reference is "Denis Suppl. p. 633. n. 5776. ubi et n. 5777. alia, itidem in Germania repetita editio excitatur." It is followed by — (c) Hystoria SANCTi Leopoldi." It is so entitled on the first page. The second leaf begins, " In festivitate sancti G 42 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATES Leopold! confessoris non pontificis marchionis Austrie secun- dum rubricam ecclesie pataviensis." Eight leaves. It will be seen by -what I here state, that this is what is giTen by Panzer, IV. 152, as two works, No. 714 and 715, citing for them respectively Denis Supp. p. 602 and 620, and giving in one case the title, and in the other the head- title of the beginning of the work.

The colophon gives no date, or name of place, or printer. Folio, eights, gothic type, col., 57 lines ix. 1. 4. f. Archbishop "Whitgift's arms. I do not find any account of this edition. It has a printer's device, which I do not find, and know not how to describe, except as a white cross standing up- right through what is nearly a white circle on a black ground. In the centre of the black space on each side of the cross is a white leaf. See Note M. 114. Maillardus (Oliverius,) — Novum diversorum Ser- monum opus, hactenus non impressum.Reverendi patris Oli- verii Maillardi.quod merito supplementum priorum sermonum jamdudum impressorum poterit nuncupari," &c.

Sixteen leaves, the last blank, quarto size, eights xxvii. 5. 2. 8™. (3) I find no mention of this hook by any bibliographer, except this brief notice IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 43 by Panzer IV. 157.— « Dominici Mancini de Passione. D. N.J. C. Carmen. 4. Denis SuppL, p. 610." 116. Meffret; — Sermones Meffret, alias, Ortulus Re- GiNE de Tempore pars estivalis, et De Sanctis Tome II. No place, date, or printer's name. Fol vii. 4. 3. f. These volumes belong, I imagine, to different editions. Both are printed in a gothic letter, in columns ; but there seems to be some difference in the type — in one the head-line is in roman, in the other in gothic letter, and in one the columns contain 55, in the other 57 lines. Whether either belong to the edition briefly described by Panzer, IV. 160, and the only one -which he mentions ■without date or place, I do not know. 117. NiDER (Johannes) ; — Incipit Manuale Confessorum venerabilis magistri Joannis Nider sacre theologie professoris ordinis predicatorum." The colophon is only, " Explicit manuale confessorum venerabilis magistri Jo. Nid. sacre the- ologie professoris ordinis predicatorum." Quarto size, eights. XX. 5. 8. 8° The tract which follows, and is in the same volume, though it is a distinct work, beginning with fresh signatures, shews that this is the work of Joannes de Westfalia. Panzer, X. 244 ; Lambinet, p. 252. 118. ; — "Incipit tractatus venerabilis magistri Joannis Nider ordinis predicatorum . De Morali Lepra." The colophon is, " Explicit tractatus de lepra morali Fratris Johannis Nider sacre theologie professoris ordinis predica- torum . Impressus per me Joannem de Westfalia." Quarto size, containing I in eights, the last being ten, the last leaf and preceding page blank xx. 5. 8. 8° This edition is mentioned, I presume, by Panzer, I. 522, from Denis Supp. p. 554, Visa. p. 58, apparently giving as the colophon, " Impressus (Lovanii) in domo Johannis de Westphalia." Whether the " in domo" is a capricious alter- ation of the copyist, or whether Johannes de Westfalia printed two editions, or, as is not impossible, altered his colophon while printing his first, seems uncertain. 44 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATKS 119. ;— "Incipit prologus in Pbeceptorium divine legis, venerabilis patris, fratris Johannis Nider sacre theologie professoris ordinis predicatorum." This head title follows seventeen leaves of a table of contents. The colophon is only " Explicit preceptorium divine legis venerabilis patris Johannis Nider sacre theologie professoris." No name of place, or printer; no date; folio, col., eights, except that K, q, r, y, are sixes, and the last a ten x. 4 6. f. This is not the edition mentioned hy Panzer, IV. 167, No. *865, and hy Laire, P. I. p. 159, No. 143. It has signatures ; the colophon, as I give it above, has nothing about Nuremberg j the number of lines in a column is not 44, but 46. Nor do I find any description that suits it. Seemiller (IV. 69. 154) mentions two, but neither of them agree with this. 120. (a) NoBiLiTAs; — " Incipit Tractatus pulcherrimus de ORiGiNB NOBiLiUM taoi fidelium quam infidelium, tarn spiri- tualium quam temporalium . et de diiferentia verorum princi- pum et tirannorum.et de principatu ex successione aut elec- tione vel violencia procedente." The only colophon is, " Ex- plicit hie liber ab [_sic] origine nobilitatis." After which is a table of chapters. Small quarto, forty leaves in tens. xxiii. 5. 13. 8° This is the first tract in a volume of five, which were printed by Petrus Cesaris. He was a disciple of Gering, and, as far as appears, printed singly on his own account only in the year 1473. See Sant. I. 227. I presume it to be the work referred to by Panzer, voL ix. p. 187, as " Liber de origine nobilitatis," the first chapter being headed, " De origine nobilitatis in genere." Panzer's only reference is " Thott, VII," and I do not find any other account of the work. Then follows — (b) Tbactatus StrccEssiONUM. Sixteen leaves, the last being wholly blank. After this follows — (c) Tractatus de pluratitate beneficiorum ecclesiasti- corum editus per dominum Johannem de Ligniano juris IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY, 45 utriusque doctorem in urbe tunc excellentissimum, iussu sanctissimi in christo patris et dni domini urbani divina pro- videntia pape quinti postea canonisati."

Vtrum emeke KEDDiTUS vitates aut perpetuos sit contractus illicitus et usu- rarius." It begins " Quodlibetbm mihi Guilhelmo bont utriusque iuris doctor! propositum in hoc studio Lovaniensi in scholis artistarum Anno Dni M?cccc°h° fuit tale.... [ut supra] . . . . et videtur quod sic," &c. Thirty-one leaves. On the same sheet begins — (e) Tbactatus de permutatione beneficiorum ecclesias- ticorum egregii domini domini Earon de Bellamere utriusque juris doctoris eximii, nee non episcopi hauinonensis Incipit feliciter." With a colophon, " Tractatus de permutatione beneficiorum finit feliciter . Impressus Parisius per venerabilem virum Petrum Cesaris in artibus magistrum ac huius operis industriosum opificem." 132 leaves. These tracts are uniform, -without paging or signature ; 25 long lines in a page. I find no account of the volume. This copy seems to be in the original oak binding ; the middle pair of leaves in each sheet is secured by a strong parchment guard pasted down to receive the sewing. 121.

This edition includes R in a second alphabet (D being only six), beginning on b, which is preceded by four leaves of title and contents. 123. Passio Domini nostri Jesu Christi ex quatuor evan- gelistis coUecta." The colophon is, " C Finit passio domioi nostri Jesu Christi ex quatuor euangelistis coUecta." After this, " Bernardus .

This title is over the device of Denis Roce. The colophon is, " C Opusculum de mundicia, continentia, et castitate sacerdotum intitulatur feliciter .

ScoTus Joannes ; « Incipiunt questiones magistri Jo- hannis scoti abbreviate et ordinate per alphabetum super quatuor libris sententiarum quodlibetis . q . metaphisice & de anima." This is the head title at the beginning of the work, (on a 2,) which is preceded "by thirteen leaves, the first and last being entirely blank, and the other eleven occupied with a table of contents, in columns. The colophon, " Expliciiit . q . lo. Scoti. sup .qtuor libris snTaru3me".& de aia & qdlibeti eiusde.impssepMgrm Vendlinude Spira.LausDeo."

No printer's name or date. Quarto, 39 long Knes, gothic type xxvi. 5. 12. 8™ Panzer, III. 50, gives a title so near this that I suppose he must mean the same book. He refers only to " Cahallero 1. c. p. 20." He assigns the date 1486, -which is, I suppose, right, and done on the ground that the prefatory letter is dated in that year. I am afraid that the discrepancy in Panzer's title indicates that this copy wants a title-page such as he gives, though it begins on a. 1. This is confirmed by the feet that that first signature has only seven leaves. 129. SoLiLOQUiUM Anime ; — « Incipit prologus in solilo- quium ale." The prologue occupies all the first page except the bottom line, which is, " Incipiunt Capitula," and the table of chapters, to the number of xxv., begins over leaf; after which, " Expliciunt Capitula . Incipit soliloquium ale . De desiderio ale queretis Deu." On the next page the work IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 49 begins without initial [MJichi at adherere deo bonu est. O breve et dulee verbum" ; and ends, " nunc et in perpetuum . AMEN. Post tenebras spo lucem . A . G. . Explicit soliloquiu anime." No name of place or printer. Sm. fol. 36 leaves, 32 long lines, no sign., goth. . i. 6. 11. f. The first edition of this work of Thomas a Kempis ; and, I presume, one of the most rare and carious hooks in the whole collection. It is bound in the same volume as the Pronosticatio, No. 43, and the Ars moriendi, No. 98, already mentioned ; and it is one of the -works which Meerman assigned to the imme- diate successors of Koster, and which he produced in support of his strange hypothesis that Harlem was the hirth-place of printing. See Note N. 130. A VOLUME of tracts printed by Johannes de West- falia. (a.) Speculum de confessione." The colophon is, " Circa presens oppsculum .

Sixteen leaves, carrying on the signature through e and f, an,d exactly resembling the preceding. u 50 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATES (c) Incipit tractatus Artis bene moeiendi perutilis." The colophon, « Artis bene moriendi cunctis perutilissime fehx finis." Ten leaves, signature g. (d) Domini Hugonis primi cardinalis ordinis predicatorum tractatus amantissimus qui speculum ecclesie inscribitur. Incipit feliciter." On the eight leaf is the colophon, " Finit speculum ecclesie," and under it, on the same page, (e) " Incipit speculum sacerdotum volentum celebrare missam," which ends on the reverse of the same eighth leaf with " Domini Petri helenensis episcopi breve sed jocun- dissimura in Ecclesie Speculum epigramma ; Quisquis ad altaris pergis solennia sacra Hortor et admoneo quod tibi ferat opem. y^ Ecclesie legito speculum quod nunc tibi mitto Quo lecto relegas . denique doctus eris Misse misteria quid signent sacraque nescis -.„_ Istic comperies . hoc igitur repetas." These eight leaves have the signature h.

The first part consists of forty-six leaves, (i to n, inclusive, eights and a six,) the last being blank, and the second part of the same number in the same form. The • colophon, " Humane vite speculum (opus profecto excellentis- simum in quo duplicis hominum status . temporalis scilicet et IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 51 ecclesiastic! dulcia et amara . prospera et adversa luce clarius enarrantur) emendatis aliprum viciis in hoc volumen ad quo- runcunque eruditionem multa cum diligentia redactum.dili- gentiis pariter et expensis magistri Johannis de Westfalia .viri quidem in impressoria arte non parum industrii.florida in universitate Lovaniensi clarissimorum impressione carac- terum ad cunctipotentis laudem finitum est.Benedicti in secu- lorum secula. Amen." (g) Speculum conversionis peccatorum magistri DioNysii DE LEUwis alias rikel ordinis cartusiensis." Fourteen leaves, X and y, eight and six, on the reverse of the fourteenth a table of contents, preceded by this colophon, " Speculum conver- sionis peccatorum editum a venerabili patre et dno domino Dionysio Rikel alias de Leuwis ordinis cartusien . professore (qui sanctimonia vite literaturaque velut sidus emicuit ut in hoc opuscule verum et in ceteris quara optimis voluminibus fere innumeris patet) feliciter explicit. Impressum Lovanii per me Johannem de Westfalia." Hitherto the tracts have been printed uniformly in two columns, carrying on the signatures regularly as far as y vi. ; hut the tract which follows is printed in long lines, and begins a fresh series of signatures with a a. It appears also to have been unknown to Panzer; I therefore place it as a separate work, though it happens to be bound in the same volume. See Gebson, No. 105. As to the foregoing tracts, it will be observed that they all carry on one course of signatures, and the enumeration which I have given is sufficient to clear up the confusion which exists in Panzer's work. In Vol. IV. p. 348, No. 86, he gives, as a single article, the title of six out of the seven tracts, omitting the title of that which I have marked (e), but counting the tract itself in his foliation. He appears to have obtained possession of it since his first vo- lume had been published, and adds, "CoUectio nostra . Numeri ergo 86.96.87. 95.100 & 10 in Annal. Vol. I. p. 52. seorsim excitati, non sunt separandi; per- tinent enim ad unum idemque opus." The reference should he to Vol. I. p. 522, and the numbers (according to the arrangement of the tracts in the volume) 86. 96. 87. 95. 97. 100. and 90. An account of these tracts will be found in Lambinet, p. 247 ; and it wiU be observed that the colophon here given of (f) is the second of those which he has printed on the succeeding page. 52 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATES 131. Speculum Xpristiajji; — " Liber qui vocatur Specu- lum Xpristrani — Expositio Orationis Dominice — Monita de verbis beate Ysidori."

Ant. II. 13. The latter has also devoted more than five pages of the Bib. Spenc. (Vol. IV. p. 387) to a description and extracts. There are 116 leaves, of which the Speculum occu'pies 97, the Expositio 9j, and \he Monita the remainder. 132. Speculum Christianokum multa bona continens." This title is over the device of lehan Petit. There is no colophon, and no date. 12° size, contains H in eights, gothic type, initials only partially xxx. 9, 22. 8™. (4) I do not find any account of this book, or feel sure that it ought to be in this list. 133. Speculum ViTE Cbisti; — " |[ Incipit Speculum vite Cristi." In the colophon, " C Emprynted by Wyllyam cax- TON." Fol ii. 6. 3. f. This work, compiled from Bonaventure's treatise, " De meditatione vitse Christi," is fully described in Dib. Typ. Ant. I. 320 ; but the copies which he has given of the wood-cuts are far from doing them justice. I do not know whether it is a peculiarity of this copy, that four leaves (beginning with t Hi) are in a type very different from the rest of the work 134. Stella Clehicobdm." This is the whole title, over the device already described in No. 111., (xxvi. 6. 10. 8'°.) The colophon is only, " C Finit stella clericorum feliciter ;" and in the opposite page verses, " C In laudem libelh." Sm. quarto size, ten leaves, six and four. .... xxx. 4. 18. 8™. (5) Panzer (IV. 114) mentions three editions without date or place ; Laire men- IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 53 tions two (P. II. 129, No. 3, and U8, No. 51); and Seemiller (II. 161), one; but I do not see that this can be identified -vf ith either. SuccEssiONUM Tractatus. See 120. (b) 135. Vaeillo Guilielmus ; — " Incipit Repertorium Ma- gistri Guilielmi Varillonis quod alio nomine dicitur Vade Mecum vel CoLLECTAEiuM, non opinionis Scoti sed opinionum in Scoto nuUatenus signatarum." The colophon, which is at the end of the seventh sheet — the sheets consisting respec- tively of 10, 8, 10, 8, 8, 10 and 6 leaves — is, " Explicit hoc vade mecum vel coUectarium non opinionis Scoti sed oppini- onum in scoto nullatenus signatorum. Dicitur vade mecum vel veni mecum ut voluit magister varillonis sacre theologie doctor eximius ordinis fratrum minorum provincie thuronie minister cudignus que hoc opus suum hoc nomine vade mecum baptizavit qui cum domino finaliter vadat nosque cum eo do- mino dirrigente ire mereamur in celis. Amen." After this follows another sheet of eight leaves, beginning, " Circa quod- libetasunt.xxi.questiones;" and having at the bottom of the recto of the eighth, " ExpUcit coUectarium super quodlibeta scoti summati questiones quodlibetales tractans cum opinioni- hus doctorum recitatis.et solutionibus argumentorum adoc- tore ad alios libros remissorum. Amen." On the back of this leaf is a Register, according to which the book has sixty-eight leaves, 8°, 35 and 36 long lines, goth. . xxvi. 5. 12. 8™. (2) This agrees exactly with the title given by Panzer, IV. 205, except that he has not " Incipit;" but the book disagrees with his description in having neither signatures nor florid initials. Indeed, the head-title given above stands over a vacant space left for the initial Q ; and throughout the book there is never more in the large space which is left than a small letter to direct the illuminator. Panzer calls the book which he describes 4°, and perhaps this might be called so ; but I should rather term it 8° as to size, and I have already stated that the sheet (or, as the register calls it, " codex") contains six, eight, or ten leaves. I have been more particular in describing this book, because it seems to have 54 BOOKS PRINTED WITHOUT DATES been unknown to Panzer, and I suppose that one mentioned by him to be very rare, as his only reference is " Bibl Minorit. Ratisb." I see no account of it elsewhere. 136. Virgo, B. M. ; — " Sermo de beata Virgine. Incipit sermo pulcerrimus ac fidedignus : de Serto Rosaceo illibate virginis Marie. Neither place, nor printer's name. Eight leaves, beginning with the signature d i ; the signatui-e is con- tinued to d V, and the whole is only one sheet, 12° size, eight leaves, 31 long lines xiv. 9. 13. 8™. (2) The running title of the first ten pages, after that which bears the title, is, " Sermo de Kosario Beate Marie Virginis ;" of the four next, " Orationes de- votissime" ; at the end of which (the fifteenth) is the colophon, " Finiunt cum sermone de beata maria virgine orationes devotissime." The reverse of this leaf is occupied by a wood-cut of the Virgin and Child and St. Anna, headed by these lines-: — " Nnllius Anna preces unquam dimisit inanes Sed tulit optatam Candida semper opem Ergo piam matrem multo cumulemus honore NuUius vacuas que sinit esse preces.'' I do not find any account of this book. 137. VoRAGiNE, Jacobus de ; — " Sermones aurei et pul- cerrimi variis scripturarum doctrinis referti de tempore per totum annum editi a solemnissimo theologie doctore magistro Jacobo de voragine ordinis predicatorum quondam episcopo Januensi . feliciter incipiunt." This is the head title of the first column of the first leaf of the work, which comes after nineteen leaves of a table of contents, headed, " Tabula Alpha- betica . Incipit Registrum," &c. The colophon is, " Finis ser- monum de tempore magistri Jacobi de voragine . Impressi per me Johannem de westfalia." Quarto size, eights, col., 41 lines, sign., no initials xxvii. 1. 12. 8° Panzer, I. 521, No. 77. 138. Wenefrtde St. — " C Here begynneth the lyf of the IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. 55 holy and blessid vyrgyn saynt Wenefryde." On the leaf 33 J) i is this colophon, " C Thus endeth the decoUacion, the lyf after, and the translacion of Saynte Wenefryde Virgyn and martir, which was reysed after that her hede had be smyton of the space of xv yere, reduced in to Englysshe by me Wil- liam Caxton." Then follow the services for the days of her martyrdom and translation. Fol MS. 306. 188. The last leaf is wanting, but in other respects the book is perfect, though the leaf a bi is misplaced. It has been scarcely cut, and one leaf is rough. See Herbert, I. 96.

The numbers annexed to them will point out their proper places. 1 18* Liber moralitatum elegantissimus magnarum rerum naturalium Lumen Anime dictus." In the colophon, "Anno a nativitate domini .

See Note O. 46* PosTiLLA GuiLLERMi super epistolas et euangelia de tempore et Sanctis et pro defunctis." This is the whole title. No colophon, as the last leaves (probably three) are wanting. Fol., col., 44 lines, goth., no sign, or initials. . . v. 5. 9. f. It is bound in the some volume as No. 17, which is of Strasburg, 1482 ; and there is great resemblance in the type, paper, and arrangement of the page. It also much resembles (though plainly distinct from) the Strasburg edition of 1488, already given as No. 46. There is an obvious difference in the type, and the latter has 47 lines. Both the Strasburg editions of 1485, mentioned by Panzer, I. 27, 72, and 29, 82, are described as having signatures. Perhaps I ought to describe this volume as uncut, or nearly so. PART II.

Modus legendi Abbkeviatueas in utroque jure ab his q olim turn diminute turn superflue I eo posita fuere.ex- actissima nuper diligentia emendatus." This is the whole of the title, which stands over the printer's device. The colo- phon is, " C Explicit libellus docens modum studendi et legendi contenta ac abbreviata vtriusque juris tarn canonici quam ciuilis in se continens titulos sine rubricas eiusdem iuris.Parisius Impressus.pro magistro Durando gerlier.cdmo- rante invico maturinorum ad intersignium lestrille fauueau.

PariseVs 1500.8." and the only reference ■which he gives is " Maitt. p. 734 et p. 736." I can only suppose that two dis- tinct hooks, mentioned as such on the two different pagis of Maittaire's work; have been, by mere mistake, entered as one by Panzer. 140. SuMMA pernecessaria acutissimi et profundissimi doc- toris magistri Guillermi altissiodoeensis." This is the head title of the first column of the " Prefatio in libros sequentes," which begins on " Folio II.," with the signature a. ii ; whence it seems as if there were a title-page wanting. The colophon, on the page before the table of contents, is, " C ExpHcit summa 1500. 57 aurea in quatuor libros sententiarum : a subtilissimo doctore magistro Guillermo Altissiodorensi edita : impressa parisiis impensis Nicolai vaultier et Durandi gerlier : alme universatis paris.librariorum.

Jhns Foxus on the first page. Panzer, II. 333 ; whence it seems as if not only the title-page was wanting, but a leaf after the table of contents, containing another colophon and some verses printed by Panzer, the latter of which (as weU as the title which he gives) shew that the work was printed for Philippe Pigouohet. 141.

This is the whole tide, vrhich is in eleven Hues of rubric, gradually diminishing in length, from 4j inches, to If, and coming down to about the middle of the page. Under it the printer's device, also in red. At the end of the work, and before the table of contents, is — " <[ Contenta in omni volumine :breviter.

Quarto, col., 51 lines, eights. xxi. 4. 21. 8™ I presume that this is the work meant by Panzer, II. 336, No. 622, where (following Maittaire, p. 731) he says, " apud Johannem Dyamantier et Engd- bertum de Mamef." This latter name I do not see ; while there is not only Nicholas Wolff's name in the colophon, but his device is given after the table of contents and register. 145.

The work con- sists of four parts, of which the first only belongs to this year. In the colophon of this it is stated that the author completed the work on the 24th of December, 1500, and it is added, " Ex officina autem industrii Henrici Gran Hagenawen Civis expensis circumspeeti honestique bibliopole Joannis Rynman de Oringaw in medium impressus oflFertur feliciter Anno vir- ginei partus Millesimoquingentesimo tertio Sexto Jdus Sep- tembris.''

Panzer has the first, second, and fourth of these books under their respective years (VII. 68, 69, 73), but I do not see that he has the third, unless it is meant by " Sermones Qnadragesimales," p. 72, No. 42. 1504. 157.

This title is over a cut of our Saviour, about four inches high, and rather more than two and a half wide. Underneath the cut, but included in the border of pieces which encloses three sides of it, is, " C Venundantur Parisii a Johanne Paruo bibliopola iurato vniversitatis parisiensis in vico divi iacobi, ad intersignium 1505. 67 leonis argentei commorante : necnon in officina Robert! mace itidem bibliopole iurati vniversitatis cadomensis, apud edem sancti petri moram trahentis."

Phovinciale, seu Constitutiones Anglie: Cum summa- riis, atque justis annotationibus : politissimis characteribus : summaque accuratione rursum revise atque impresse." Sancta trinitas unus deus: miserere nobis." This title is after eighteen leaves of table of contents, which have a title-page of their ovm, containing seven verses, over the printer's device, and is printed in red and black, in an engraved border, over wood- cuts of the Trinity, of St. Jerome, St. Ambrose, St. Thomas of Canterbury, Bede, St. Augustine, and St. Gregory. Under them the line, " Fortuna opes auferre non animum potest." Beneath which are two printer's monograms with a shield between them, on a scroll bearing the words " nosce teipsum." All this is within the engraved border of pieces, in the two sides of which, respectively, are inserted the letters W and B. At the foot of the page, and outside the border, is, " <[ Ve- nales habentur London. apud biblipolas In Cimiterio sancti PauU:Insigno sanctissime Trinitatis et sancte Anne matris marie."

It had been previously owned by Robert Bisshop, who seems to have bought it on the 9th Nov. 1566. Notwithstanding the colophon which I have given, this book ought perhaps to be put in the next year; for lodocus Badius Ascensius concludes his prefa-^ tory letter to the English clergy, " Ex officina nra Parrhisien. ad Jdus mayas anni hujus Millesimi quingentesimi sexti." I apprehend that this circumstance has caused it to be treated as two editions. See Panzer, VII. 511, and 518. 162. The same xxxviii. 1. 4. Archbishop Sheldon's arms.

I see no reason for it, except that in the case which Herbert mentions, as in the present, the two works were found in one Tolume. I have, therefore, placed the Expositio Hymnorum among the undated books. 167.

The volume begins with, " Tituli libri tertii," two leaves, followed by the III. and IV. books, occupying clxxvj leaves, the last of which has, on the reverse, this colophon, " t[ Habes itaque studiose lector librum sententiarum Magistri Petri Lombardi viri in diuinis litteris perbelle eruditi pensiculatiori examine 92 BOOKS PRINTED WITH DATES. recognituin una cum concordantiis sacre pagine.

Then follows a " Tabula primi libri et secundi sententiaram," consisting ot eight leaves, with a fresh signature ^^, and belonging, I presume, to a former volume, which is wanting. Then a " Tabula tertii et quarti sententiarum," of sixteen leaves, with the signatures ^fl^ and i3i$33 ; and after that, with again a fresh signature, ^HSl> what should, perhaps, be given as a separate work — C Sequuntur varii articuli erronei omnium pene facultatum in Anglia et Parisius studiose et auctoritatiue condemnati : cum revocationibus eorumdem." This is the head- title of the first column : it consists of thirty-two leaves, of which the last but one is blank, and the last contains on the recto a singular woodcut of four rows of figures, or rather busts. The upper row has seven, and the other three five figures each. On the reverse, the device of Jean Petit. 12° size, eights, xi. 9. 4. 8™ I do nst find this edition in Panzer. 222.

(2) I presume that Panzer must refer to this book at VII. 555, No. 468, when he says, " Gaufredi Boussard Oratio habita Bononie coram Julio II. in die cir- cumcisionis Christi de nomine Jesu, de diviniss . missae sacrificio brevis expo- sitio. Parisiis impensis Joannis Parvi 1511.4." his only authority being " Hennings 1. c. p. 384." He, on exactly the same authority, had previously given the same title, verbatim, as printed " Lugduni 1507-8." I cannot help sus- pecting that, by some mistake, the titles of two different works have got con- fused into one. The work now before me is clearly a " brevis expositio," such as Panzer describes ; but I cannot find that it had anything to do with Bologna, or the Pope ; and instead of being an oration, it is a course of Lent lectures which he delivered to the clergy of the church of Mans, to which he belonged ; and he complains that one of them, named Renatus Croisardus, (alioquin sane bonse : et sanctse indolis adolescentem,) had furtively taken notes, made them into a book, and sent them to the booksellers, who, in spite of his remonstrances, would print them, and from whom he could hardly get leave to prefix the " excusatoria prefatiuncula," in which he gives us this infor- mation. 246.

The volume consists of several portions, not exactly corres- ponding to this table of contents, each (except the first, which has only a head-title) having its own title-page, and each be- ginning a new series of signatures and foHation. (a) Sermones " In dominicis adventus et seqnentibus usque ad quadragesi- mam." Fo. xliiiL This has a colophon, " ^ Brixie per Jacobum Britanni- cum." (b) Quadragesimale de peccato Petri Hieremie."

Anno domini millesimo quingentesimo duodecimo . Die vero prima mensis Martii." 8° xxvi. 7. 5. 8™. Panzer must, I suppose, mean this edition, though he puts it among the un- dated hooks of Lyons, VII. 372, No. 855. The colophon of Brescia, which is appended to the first of these tracts, seems as if it had heen inadvertently copied by the printer of this edition, as there is every appearance of all the tracts in this volume having been printed at the same time and place. Panzer gives the Brescian edition of 1502 at Vol. VI. 338; and Fabricius (Bibl. Med. et inf. Lat. in v. Petrus Hieremias) mentions " Sermones varies plurimosque Brixise, 1502," as well as this " Ludg. 1512," so there can be little doubt, I suppose, that this was printed from the Brescian edition, Fabricius is incorrect when he adds, " In quibus etiam Sanctuarium, sive sermones de VII. doloribus B. Vir- ginis, et de ejus festivitatibus." The Sanctuarium is, as its name would lead one to expect, a course of Sermons for the saints' days through the year. Of course, the festivals of the Virgin are included; and after the Sermon, " de nativitate gloriose virginis," there is one, " de Septem gaudiis et vii dolo- ribus ejusdem," but no prominence is given to it, and it occupies only 3^ pages out of 312. 263.

After this follows, with a new series of signatures, " Ap- pendix Matheseos in Margaritam philosophicam Sequuntur nonuatim (szc) quse in hac appendice complectuntur. 1512. 115 Grecarum literarum institationes Hebraicarum literarum rudimenta Musicsc figuratae institationes Arohitecturse Et perspectivse rudimenta Qaadrantum varise coinpositiones Astrolahii messehalath compositio Astrolabii noui Geographici. compositio Formatio Torqueti Formatio polimetri Vsus et utilitates eorundem omnium Figura quadrantis poligonalis."

This is partly correct, for in the " prologe," headed " Richard Tauerner to the christen readers," he says, that by the want of such books of devotion in our language, he " was compelled to translate in to our Englysh langage this very frutefuU boke of prayers, lately set forth by the right excellet clerke Capito, a boke doubtles neuer to be layde out of your hades, but contynually to be redde, reuolued, and deuoured gredily euery daye, yea, euery houre, as well in cham- bers and closettes priuilye, as in churches and assemblyes openly, and not onelye to be deuoured outwardly with the lyppes, but inwardlye also to be chawed, eaten down and digested in the harte, for let noman thynke that it is y' nombre and multitude ofwordes or mochpytterpattryng of lyppes, that maketh us to be harde of God the father.

Singleton, with a date earlier than 1550, and only one so early — that is, " An Instruccyon of Christen Fayth," by Urbanus Regius, translated into English by J.

On the back of the title- page begins " PRAEFAcitTNcniA ad lectoiem," which is substituted for the dedi- cation to Thomas Picton, prefixed to the previous article. Except the changes of title and dedication already noticed, it is the same work as the preceding ; but in order to make those changes, the first sheet has been reprinted. The book, however, begins as before, at the top of A iiii, and the remainder of that sheet is a mere reprint. The two other sheets are obviously not reprints even, but identically the same as in the preceding ; the change of title and of preface for dedication, having been made while the type was standing. The only dif- ference that I have observed is, the correction of " priuelegia" into " priuelegio" in the colophon, which was probably done during the printing. I do not find any notice of this book. 498. The Canticles or Balades of Salomon, phraselyke declared in Englysh Metres, by William Baldwin. C Halleluiah.

It seems, to me, however, that Herbert was quite right in considering it as an undated book, and no probability can authorize the putting a date in the title as Dr. Dibdin has done. Neither of these bibliographers appear to have seen the third part, which is here bound in the same volume, with the following title :— 510.

Some confusion and obscurity seems to exist in the accounts of Bishop Longland's Sermons, which, it is hoped, may be at least diminished, by a particular statement of the contents of this volume. The title is in a rich frame, of which the top consists of the upper group of Holbein's children, given Dibdin, Typ. Ant., I. xliv.. and the bottom of the Mutins and Porsenna given in the same work, p. xlvii. The back of the title is blank. The next page begins with a dedication to the King, which extends to the middle of the reverse of the next leaf, and is dated " Londini ad decimum septimum kalendas lanuarij," and then follows an address, " pio lectori," which extends to about half the reverse of the next leaf. Then eomes the sheet B, on which the work begins. The author speaks as if he was beginning a course of sermons on the seven penitential psalms, but, in fact, the work is rather one long expository discourse on the sixth psalm, extending, without any break or division, to the reverse of fo. 52, which bears the colophon, " tY Im- press, per me Richardum Pynsofi." Then, on the next page — that is, fo. 63 beginning a new sheet, L (K being only a fqur) follows — EICHARD PYNSON. 231 512, ExposiTio Concionalis secundi pSalmi poenitentialis praefati Ioannis Longlondi coram regia maj estate . An . do . 1519." Small folio, as before, sixes. This exposition of the thirty first psalm, extends to the reverse of fo. 198, where the Amen is followed by " Deo gratia," in a line by itself. In, another line, " Dns dedit. ;" and below that a broad line of flowers ; but there is no colophon. Signatures carried on through this and the preceding. 513. JoANNis Longlondi Dei Gratia Lincolnien.Episcopi tres condones reuerendissimo Domino. do. vvaramo Cantua- riensi Archiepiscopo totius Angliae primati merito nuncupatae." The colophon is, "C Excusum per Richardum Pynsonum regium impressorem." No date. Small folio, sixes, except the first, which is a four. i. 6. 14. f. (3) The title given above is in a very rich border, the bottom of which consists of the Holbein group of children ; the lower of the two given by Dibdin, Typ. Ant., I., xliv. The first is a visitation sermon preached before Cardinal Wolsey, and the full title is, " f] Joannis Longlondi Dei gratia Lincolniensis episcopi declamatio, coram reverendissimis in christo patribus, domino, dSo Thomamiseratone diviua Romanse ecclesise presbyteri Cardinali, Eboraeensi archiepiscopo, Angliseq j cancellario : et Domino Laurentio Cardinali, sedis apestolicse de latere quoque legatis, principio uisitationis : ordinis beati Benedict!, apud inclitum West- monasterium inite, deeimo die Januarii Anno salntis 1519," and the text, " Descendam et Videbo utrum clamorem que uenit ad me opere compleuerint : an non est ita, ut sciam." This begins on sig. B, which, in the usual place of paging is marked " Fo. 1," after that the folio is not marked, except " Fo. 6," " Fo. 13," " Fo. 18," " Fo. 25 ;" after Fo. 29, I believe, the foliation is regular. The second sermon begins on the reverse of fol. 11, " 9X Concio Joannis Longlondi Lincolniensis episcopi, habita coram eruditissimo Oxoniensis Acha- demisB auditorio in jaciendo eoUegij oardinalicij [this word is so blotted out that I am not sure of it, and Regij is substituted in manuscript] fundamento. Anno dominici natalis 1525." The text is, " Sapientia ediflcavit sibi domum," &c. Prov. ix. The third Sermon begins on fol. 35, " f[ Joannis Longlondi concio habita coram celeberrimo conuentu tmn Archiepiscoporum, cum episcoporum, cseterae- que multitudiniB in occidentalis osenobii sanotuario juxta Londinum. Anno salutis 1527 . die 27 Nouembris." The text, " Tu exurgens Domine misere- beris syon, quia tempus miserendi eius, quia uenit tempns." — Ps. 51. This extends to the reverse of fol. 54, which bears the colophon already given. 232 ^ENGLISH BOOKS UNDATED : 1520 1550. 514.

There is no colophon but " C Impressum per Richardum Pynson." Small folio, sixes, except the two last, which are fours. . . . i. 6. 14. f. (4) This is not properly a title-page, but a heading, beginning with large letters, on a fresh sheet ; and, therefore, although that sheet bears the signature M, and the foliation is also continued, yet I give it as a separate publication, especially as the former work makes no mention of it that I see, and has its own regular colophon, as I have already stated. The title just given, is followed by a dedi- cation, of about two pages, to the Abbot of Winchcomb in Gloucestershire, " 9T Religiosissimo Patri, viro diuiais litteris exercitissimo [sic . ta interlined with a pen] theologiae professor! egregio, Richardo Winchecombensis cenobii ministro loan. Longlondus Lincoln episcopus salutem." Then follow the Sermons to the reverse of fol. 109, which bears the colophon already given. 515. Peoblema indulgentiarum, quo Lutheri errata dissol- uuntur, et theologorum de eisdem opinio hactenus apud eruditos vulgata adstruitur." This title is within a broad border, I presume the same which Herbert, having occasion to speak of elsewhere (1. 587), calls, " the compartment with boys riding in paniers on an elephant." At the back of the title is an address to Queen Catharine, headed, " Fidei defen- satrici, Catharinae Angliae et Franciae reginae dominae pariter et Hybemiae : omnium principum foeminarum facile claris- simae, et semper Augustse, frater Alphonsus de Villasancte : minorita regularis observantias S.D." It begins, "En pro- blema indulgentiarum quas vocant : quod a me cotidiano ferme convitio celsitudo tua eflSagitat." This is dated, "Ex, cellula nostra Granuchensi .14. kalendas februarias.Anno a salute Christiana. 1523. calculo romano." On the next page (a 2) the work begins, and extends to the reverse of g i, which R. PYNSON. P. TREVERIS. 233 bears the colophon, " Londini in aedibus Pynsonianis, cum pri- uilegio a rege indulto." Quarto, large paper. . xxviii. 2, 23. 8™ I do not find any account of this work. This copy is hound in leather, stamped with two large devices, one of the royal arms supported hy the griffin and greyhound, the other of the rose, supported by angels. These devices are alternately upper and lower on the two sides. 516. C Fbatris Galfredi Petri Baiocen.Galli, lectoris, sacrarum literarum, De vita ac moribus atque panis miraculo Sancti Nicholai de Tollentiko, Comedia." This title is over a cut of the Saint in a border, with a motto in each of the four sides. At the top, " S.Nicolae de Tollentino;" at the bottom, " Ora pro nobis ;" on his right side, " N5 timeas maria.aut flama.morbosq; furetes," and on his left, "Tecum Nicoleos si modo panis adest." On the back of the title is an address headed, " C Frater Eduardus Soppeth Augus- tinianis nouitiis fehcitatem dicit," in which the writer states, that he has caused the work to be published. It consists of 16 leaves, 12° form, eights; 31 long lines, gothic, and has no date, or name of printer, but on the reverse of the last leaf it has Pynson's cypher (No. II.), and therefore I place it under his name. That device was used by Robert Redman, and the work may probably be his xiv. 9. 13. 8'°. (5) Archbishop Bancroft's initials. I do not find any notice of this book. PETER TREVERIS. 517.

Some manuscript memoranda on the end fly-leaf, shew that this volume belonged to Archbishop Tenison. It is the second of the editions so fully described by Herbert, (III., 1736, 1815,) and Dibdin, (III., 34, No. 748,) who assign it to Peter Treveris, and suppose it to have been printed in or about 1821.

" The young King crowned, with a sceptre in his hand," is not " leading," but driving, the beasts, who are looking not very complacently at each other, and keeping as far apart as they can. If so, whether the allegory might be that the King (who would not, perhaps, have been particularly flattered by being set to personate the " little child" that should lead tame animals) would govern both force and cunning, or whether there might be any allusion to the part which Bishop Fox had in it, I do not know. ROBERT WYER. 522. C The lyberties of the cleargy collected out of the lawes of this Realme both necessary for Vycars and Curates. Compyled by John Goodale."

(2) This agrees most exactly with everything said of the work, assigned by Hertert, I. 399, and Dibdin, III. 237, to Robert Redman, except that in the title where they have " holde," this reads " holden ;" and a much more import- ant variation, in not containing Pynson's cypher on the last page, which was, I presume, the ground of their supposing it to be the work of Robert Redman. The type is gothic ; wholly different from the secretary, used in the next article but one, (which has Pynson's cypher,) though more like that used by him for the statutes of 24 and 25 Hen. VIII., which have the name of Robert Redman. I believe, however, that this is the work of John Rastell, and printed with the same type as his " Magnum Abbreviamentum,'' with which it is bound.

Then with a head-title, " C A Consolation for troubled consciences," begins a new signature, which runs to €5 iv, where there is a colophon, "C Imprynted at London in Fletestrete next to saynt Dun- stones Churche at the sygne of the George. C Cum gratia et priuilegio Regali." Then with a fresh head-title, " C A meditation of the same Jerom upon the Psalme In te Domine speraui which prevented by death he coulde nat fynyshe," which consists of 18 leaves (8 and 10), beginning with a new signature, and on the 18th a colophon, "C Imprynted at London in ¥letestrete by me Robert Redman at the sygne of the George C Cum priuilegio RegaU." On the back of this leaf is Pynson's cypher. Then with a fresh head-title, " C The Crede or Beleue," with a fresh signature, fourteen pages (8 and 6), and a colophon, " C Imprynted at London in Fletestrete next to saynt Dunstones Churche at the sygne of the George C Cum priuilegio Regali." Then a head-title, " C In the name of the Father, of the Sonne, and of the holy Ghoste, Amen.^g' The pater noster in Englyshe." This begins a new signature, and this leaf having contained the Lord's Prayer and creed, and a short address to the reader, the next begins with a head-title, "^° The Crede by the olde lawe and by the newe," and goes on to © iv, where there is this colophon, " hys nobles, and others hys louynge subiectes repayring and resortynge to the sayd cytie and also the cytesyns and inhabytantes wythin the same, maye be the more redelyer, better, and at the more reasonable and competent pryses, serued fr5 hensforwarde and spedde of the same .

C Here begynneth the Accedence diligently correcte and poyntyd." This title is over a cut representing a school- master pointing to a book with one hand, and holding a rod in the other. Before him are nine scholars. The extreme height of the cut, including a narrow border, which is wholly wanting at the bottom, and partly at the top, to make room for the above title, is 4j-^ inches, and the width 3f inches. This work, which I cannot identify with any descrijjtion in Herbert or Dibdin, is in black letter, and begins under the woodcut — "How many partes of reason ben ther? Eyght. whiche eyght? Nowne : pronowne verbe : adverbe : participle : con- iunction.pposition.and interiection C How many be declined. & how many be vndeclined.Foure be declined. and foure be vndeclined. which fovu-e be declined." This is the whole of the first page. There are here three others, the last of them ending with — " C Howe knowest the thirde person . For he speketh of a no ther as he or they, and euery nowne : pronowne : and particyple is the .iii. person out take ego : et nos : tu" The two leaves thus described were at one end of the book, in binding which they had been used ; and there was one leaf at the other. This seems to have been a vocabulary belonging to the accidence. One of the pages contains fifteen such Latin lines, with interlinear English, as the following : — a dore lattes a bar a wyndowe Hostium, canceli, pessulum, fenestra, vitrumque. aflynte a mache stone a box a candel idem Sulphurata, silix,. pixis, candela, lucerna." p p 290 FRAGMENTS. The Other page has seven Latin lines like the following :— " Sinciput et vertex caput occiput et coma crinis Hoc sinciput, tis the formest part of the hede Stuoipitium Hie vertex, tis the orowne of the hede Occipitium Hoc caput, tis for a hede Joe (sic) occiput, is the hynder part of the hede Hec coma the playtes of a womans heere Hie crinis, is for heere Cincinnus, calua, cerebrum, sutura, pilusque Hie cincinnus, i, o, for a locke Hec calua, e the hrayne pan Hoc cerehrum, i, o the brayne Hec sutura, e the seme of the hede Hie pilus, i, o a heere." No. 15. Two quarto leaves of a work on the French lan- guage, bearing the signatures 38 .C* and 38.(1. The right- hand page is French, and the left-hand English. The former in roman, the latter in black letter. From the date on the fourth of these pages, which is not full, I presume that these two leaves are the latter half of the whole work. The follow- ing extracts may, perhaps, identify it; and are curious in themselves : — " De la prosodie, ou, accent, comme on doibt pronstcer.briefue admonition A aa C voeUes b be a.e.i.o.u. c ce Toultes aultres letrers sont d d cosonates, deuisees en mu- e e tes et demy voelles. effe C Mutes g ge b.c.d.f.g.k.p.q.t FRAGMENTS. 291 h hache C Demy voelles i ij f.l.m.n.r.s. 1 elle Sur toultes choses doibuit no- m eme ter gentz Englois, quil leur n enne fault acustumer de pronu- o 00 cer la demiere lettre du mot p pe fracois, quelq; mot que ce soit q qu (rime exceptee) ce que la r erre laugue englesche ne permet. s esse Car la. ou Lenglois dit. t te goode breade, Le francois V ou diroit go o de . iii . sillebes X ex et breade . iii eillebes z zedes et &.q con Ces diptongues sone aisi pronucees.

It is not worth while to copy more of it than a specimen ; but that may, at the same time, explain a sentence in the English ; which, it will be seen, is rendered unintelligible by the translator's having ren- dered the example into English as well as the rule : — " Ie suis dopinion q mieulx seroit a proniicer chacune letre, et dire, Ie perds vostre accointace en pronuceant Ie d) que Ie pers.

A very mutilated haJf-lea^ bearing the signature (t, iiif followed by a whole lea^ of a quarto book, in black letter, containing rules, or exhortations, for the regulation of monastic life On the xautilated half-leaf begins, " C The syxth chapytre," which is occupied with advice about wash- ing, and against a « [su]perfluous appetite of clene clothes," directions about bathing, bleeding," &c. ; followed by others relating to the treatment of those that " ben vexed with, feuers, axes, or other" diseases, and some miscellaneous regu- lations, some of which appear to me very judicious ; especially FRAGMENTS. 295 the following, which I hope my office will excuse my select- ing as a specimen of the style and language of the book : — " And who so euer ben offycers of y' celary, of the chambre, or of the library with suche other : let them serue theyr felowes without murmure or grudge. And let the bokes be axed euery day at a certayne houre. For whoso besyde the due appoynted houre doeth ony axe shall none receyue." This is followed by good advice respecting mutual kindness and forgiveness, then " C The seventh chapitre" begins, with a singular coarse initial B, about 1 inch and | square, repre- senting King David kneeling, his harp on the ground, and an angel coming down and presenting an arrow. From the first eight lines, (which is all that the fragment contains,) the sub- ject of the chapter seems to have been, discipline and the correction of offenders. No. 20. Four small octavo leaves, in black letter, contain- ing Latin verses, on subjects from scripture history. They are all mutilated, but I apprehend that they are consecutive, and should bear the signature f) I as three of them are marked 6 i, iih b» though, I confess, that they do not appear to me to have been arranged in that order. That which I suppose to be first begins abruptly, thus :— " Aaron qui populos emudat sanguine, christum" And then, after four verses, there are twelve " De Amalech," four " De Og," four " De vii exploratoribus," and six " De botro," which complete the page.

I take this title from Sir Frederic Madden's elaborate and splendid work,* in which he has given this poem from a MS. copy, taken, as he imagines, from a printed one. In his note on it he says, « No copy of the original, from which the present poem was copied, is now known to exist ; but it appears from the Stationers' books, that, in 1557, or 1558, John Kynge had a licence to print * A Jeaste of Syr Gawayne;' and among Bagford's Collections, MS. Harl., 5927, art. 32., is preserved the last leaf of another edition, in black letter, ' Impiynted at London in Paule Churche yarde, at the sygne of the Maydens heed, by Thomas Petyt,' containing fifty-three lines, which have been collated with the text in the MS., and the vaariations, which are trifling, noted in the margin." It will be seen that this is printed by John Butler, though it is not mentioned among the products of his press by Herbert or Dibdin. It presents several variations from the text, given by Sir F. Madden. The half-sheet having been used, folded, as the end-paper of a book, has been so cut to fit it, as that each page has lost something from the bottom, and the second and fourth have lost the beginning of each line. I have supplied them in italics from Sir F. Madden's text.

This is the whole title, over three figures, much in the style of those given by Her- bert, I. 349, and Dibdin, HI. 122. I find only two editions of this work mentioned by those writers, and it appears to me to differ from them so far, as to lead to the belief that this sheet may be a fragment of an edition not hitherto described. It is plainly not a part of the more recent edition by John Walley ; and I should say the same of the older edition of William Copland, were it not that there is such discrepancy between the copy of that edition in the British Museum, and Herbert's " satisfactory notice" of it in his MS. memoranda, quoted by Dr. Dibdin. The book is there described as begin- ning " under the cuts of * Charite and Youth,' with a dialogue 310 FRAGMENTS. between these characters." The first two lines are given thus : — " lesus y* his armes dyd sprede And on a tree was done to dead." Now it is not like Herbert's general accuracy so to describe a cut, or so to quote a specimen, if his copy (like that at the Museum) had three figures, the word " that" in the first line spelt at full lengthj and the last word spelt " deed." Then, the copy before me, though it has three figures, differs from the Museum copy in many particulars : the title is made into three words, (as I have given them,) and is all in one line of large black letter ; while, in the Museum copy, the title begins with a flower, and " The enterlude " constitutes the first line in large black letter, " of Youth" forming a second line in smaller type. In this, every one of the three figures is differ- ent from any one in the Museum copy, and each has a vacant label or ribband over its head ; in the Museum copy the left- hand figure has a label with " Charite," the middle figure no label at all, but the name " Youth" in black letter, and the right hand one a vacant label. In this, the initial I is of the gothic family represented by Dibdin, Vol. I., Pr. Diss., p. xl. ; while the initial of the Museum copy is roman. In this, the words " tree" and " deed" of the Museum copy, are spelt " tre" and " dede," thus difiering both from it and from Herbert. Under these circumstances, it may be worth while to print the contents of the fragment, which has been so cut by the bookbinder, who used it as an end-paper, that something is lost from the bottom of each page ; and two pages have lost the names of the speakers, while their reverses have been deprived of the beginning of each line. It is as follows : — FRAGMENTS. 311 " C Charyte Jesu that his armes dyd spred And on a tre was done to dede From all perylles he you defende I desyre audyence tyll I haue made an ende For I am come fro god aboue To occupy his lawes to your behoue And am named charyte There may no man saued be ****** Qui manet in charitate in deo manet I am the yate I tell the of heuen that ioyfuU cy te There may no man thyder come But of charite he must haue some Or he may not come ywys Unto heuen the cyte of blysse Therfore charite who wyll hym take A pure soule it wyll hym make Before the face of god In the A.

What he did on the next, I do not know, as it is so cropped, that even the first line of the text has lost part of a word.

The foiu: leaves are the first and last of the signatures ^ and 38, and had been used as end-papers by a bookbinder. They do not quite agree with any descrip- tion that I have met with. Warton speaks of " The Historic of Jacob and his twelve sons. In stanzas. For the same" [i. e., for W. de Worde] " without date. I believe about 1 500. Princ. ' Al yonge and old that lyst to here.' " — History of Poetry, Sect, xxvii., Vol. H., p. 388. Herbert (1. 229) gives the first line of Wynkyn de Worde's edition — " AlZ yonge and olde that lyste to here," which is nearer to the orthography of this fragment. Such variations in Warton are not worth FRAGMENTS. 321 noticing ; but when both he and the more accurate Herbert omit the word " for," it looks as if this was not from Wynkyn de Worde's edition. Beside this, there are — in the four lines which Herbert gives — two other words differently spelt : " Patryarches," and " Adames." Herbert, however, at I. 318, meijtions another edition, printed by John Scot, which, he says, begins, " All yonge and old that lyst for to her." This is nearer, as having the " for ;" but, in the one line, there are three difierences of spelling. Beside this, I do not find any notice of the book, except as one which Thomas East got a licence to reprint in 1581. Under these circum- stancesj it may be worth while to give so much extract and description as may identify it. The stanzas are not otherwise distinguished than by the first line beginning with a C. There are thirty-one lines in a page. The first stanza (which, with the first three lines of the second, comes on the first page, under the woodcut,) is as follows : — " All yonge and olde that lyste for to here Of dedes done in the olde tyme By the holy patryarkes that there were Whiche descended of olde Adams lyne Often the sonne of grace on them dyde shyne For to rede this story it wyll do you moche good Of Abrahams sone that was sythe Noes flood." The reverse of that page ends with : — " C Whan that they drewe to age these two brether Esau was a plowman a tyller of lande And for pleasure ofte wolde he be a hunter To walke erly and late with bowe in his hande Jacob was so symple at home wolde he stande Alwaye with his moder for she loued hym better." T T 322 FRAGMENTS. The sheet B begins with the following lines : — " Yonge and olde fayne were hym to please So they contynued in ioye many a longe daye At the last Jacobs sone in his bedde laye Whiche was brother to Benyamy Bothe were Raehelles sones, she had no more truely.

NOTES. NOTES. Note A, on No. 24. Ockam. The following copy may serve to identify the elaborate ini- tial letter which I have described, though it does not do it justice. It occurs twice in the volume : at the beginning, and on fol. LXXIIL 326 NOTE A, ON NO. 24. OCKAM. Of the more simple one, the following is a very correct copy : — I do not remember to have met with such letters in any other book. The nearest approach to their general figure and design, is in what I might, perhaps, caU a family of initials, used by Griininger, of Strasburg, of which the following is, I think, a very beautiful specimen. It is copied from the Quadrivium, (which will be found among the Addenda to this List,) printed by him in 1504, and the Summa Sylves- trina, (No. 353,) printed in 1518. In these works, it is ac- companied by others of the same character, of different sizes, some of them having the hollow part filled up with figures, as in No. 353, a B, with David, at fol. 34 ; a C, with Cain and Abel, at fol. 53, &c. NOTE B, ON NO. 29. ABDILAZI. 327 I give this specimen the more readily, because Dr. Dibdin seems to think, very rightly, that justice has not been done to this " most active and distinguished printer," vrhom he sup- poses to have employed " a host of artists," and who " must have had prodigious enthusiasm in his profession." — Bibl. Decam., II. 163. Note B, on No. 29. Abdilazi. At p. xl. of his " Preliminary Disquisition on Early En- graving and Ornamental Printing," prefixed to his edition of Herbert's Typographical Antiquities, Dr. Dibdin has said, " TvFO other different kinds of Ornamental Capital Initials remain to be noticed. Of the following five examples, illus- trative of the first kind, [being the open letter on a dotted ground, executed both in red and black ink,] I am not pre- pared to say whether Ratdolt was the first printer who in- troduced so beautiful a department of the art; but the AscENsn and CoLiNiEUS, among the Parisian printers, were eminently successful in their use of them." The initials in this work, printed by Ratdolt, are certainly very different firom those given by Dr. Dibdin, and appear to me to be far superior. The P which he has given is one of a set, (or, I might say, a family of various sizes,) which is con- stantly used by French printers, later in date than Ratdolt, and though it may pass for an imitation of his letter, it is a very poor one. I am inclined also to believe, that it (and, indeed, each of the five examples given by Dr. Dibdin,) differs from Ratdolt's in the very point which he mentions — namely, in their being " on a dotted ground." I have not yet seen such an initial of Ratdolt, th&ugh I have met with some in 328 NOTE B, ON NO. 29. ABDILAZI. which, from their having been imperfectly worked off, the ground had a spotty appearance ; but, I suspect that the " dotted ground," afterwards so much used, and with such beautiful effect, was a later invention. But, with or without such a ground, and even with Ratdolt's patterns before them, I doubt whether the Ascensii or Colinaeus ever produced a more beautiful P than that with which this volume of Ratdolt begins. The P given by Dr. Dibdin, as used by Ascensius — or initials belonging to the same set — will be found in several books printed by him, which are included in this List : as in No, 245, of 1511 ; No. 275, of 1513 ; No. 285, of 1514; and No. 349, of 1518. The same letter was also used by H. Stephens ; and in No. 290, of this List, printed by him in 1515, the P of Ratdolt and that of Ascensius stand side by side, heading two columns. The former is about 2^ inches square, but the latter, though it preserves its height, is much abridged in width, owing to the column which it begins being narrower than the other column. Li this case, both are on a dotted ground, but this was thirty years after Ratdolt had printed the letter, of which the following is a copy : — 329 Note C, on No. 30. Liber Festialis. Dr. Dibdin has given a description of an imperfect copy, which successively belonged to Mr. Ratcliffe, Mr. Alchorne, Mr. Johnes, and Lord Spencer, in his Typographical Anti- quities, Vol. L p. 168, n. He has also, in the same place, given a fac-simile of part of one of the woodcuts with which it is embellished. In his Bibliotheca Spenceriana, Vol. IV. p. 359, he has devoted more than six pages to the subject, and has given fac -similes of the type, and of three more woodcuts. It is needless, therefore, to do more in this place, than to men- tion one or two points which have escaped him, or which re- late to this particular copy. The first six leaves of Lord Spencer's book were supplied by manuscript, and, I suppose, they contained no imitation or notice of the woodcuts which are in the original; at least, I do not see that Dr. Dibdin refers to them, and I think he would have considered them worth mentioning, as they may help to identify the printer of the book. The first page contains nothing but a woodcut of the Crucifixion, which occupies nearly the whole of it. The cut is about 7^ inches long and 4i high, and is placed length- wise. On the reverse is a woodcut of St. Christopher, near 7 inches long and more than 4^ wide, also placed lengthwise, but allowing room for three lines of text, in columns, under it. They begin, " The helpe and the grace of Almighty god thourgh the be sechyng of his blessyd modyr seint Mary be with vs at oure beginnyg helpe vs and spede vs here in oure leuing and bryng vs vnto the blysse that neuer shall have endyng. Amen." Then the prologue, and after it, " Incipit liber qui vocatur Festialis." This may be merely a misprint for " Festivalis," but as it is repeated in the pas- sage which Dr. Dibdin gives (I suppose from the MS. Memo- u u 330 NOTE C, ON NO. 30. LIBER FESTIALIS. randa of Herbert) at p. 162, and 163, of his Typographical Antiquities, I have not thought it right to alter it. Whether Herbert's " ancient edition " was this one, or, if it was, whether he copied correctly, or whether it now stands in Dr. Dibdin's works as Herbert wrote it, I do not know ; but what stands there — " and for them to learn ; and for that this treatise speaketh of all the feasts of the year, I will and pray that it be called Festival " — stands in this copy, " and for other to learn, and for this treatise speaketh of all the hye feasts of the year, I will and pray that it be called Festyall." The read- ing is countenanced by the Cotton MS. quoted by Dr. Dibdin, at p. 167, entitled " Liber Fistialis." Herbert, in his first volume, p. 63, assigns this book to C ax ton, adding, " but my copy is so very imperfect, that I cannot describe this edition so particularly as i would. The late Mr. Ratcliffe had a copy, which he perfected by MS. but have not been able to trace it to its present possessor. See Bibl. Ratcliffiana, No. 1430." Mr. Ratcliffe's books were sold in the year 1776, before puerile competition had raised such works to the extravagant prices for which they were afterwards sold. In a priced catalogue of that sale in my possession, this lot stands exactly thus : " 1430. The boke that is callyd fescival the yere of our Lorde, 1486, some leaves wrote very neat, printed by Caxton;" and it was sold for three pounds and nineteen shillings. In his corrections, however, (Vol. HI. p. 1767,) Herbert refers to that part of his first volume which I have quoted, and says, " Since this sheet was printed, i have seen a perfect copy of it, with this colophon," &c., adding his opinion that it was not the work of Caxton, but of some unknown printer. Some farther remarks on this curious volume will be found in Note H H. 331 Note D, on No. 42. Pronosticatio. This is, I presume, the original edition of the prophecies, published under the name of Johannes Lychtenberger. I believe, as I have already said, that none of the biblio- graphers whose works I have had the means of consulting, had ever seen this edition, for, in the few cases in which they mention it, they give " Vera," instead of " Rara," in the title ; which any one of them, really copying the large plain gothic type, could scarcely have done. In a paper on the Lollards which I published in the British Magazine, for July, 1842, I gave some account of this work, which has a curious relation to that subject, from its giving two woodcuts of a Lollard, which I caused to be copied, and as I have the blocks which were then used, I here repeat them. The first of these occurs near the beginning of the work, the author having in his pre- face stated that God has given to men three ways of arriving at knowledge respecting futurity. First, by long experietlce ; secondly, by the stars; thirdly, by direct revelation. As instances of persons by whom some insight into futurity had been possessed, he names Ptolemy, Aristotle, the Sibyll, St. Bridget, and Reynhard Lollard. These are repre- sented in the first cut The shape of it in the original quarto volume would not have allowed the whole cut to be copied on an octavo page ; and the lines which in this copy appear to rise from the head of each figure, are, in fact, the extremities of rays issuing from a representation of the Almighty, which occupies the upper part of the cut in the original. The second cut is at the end of the book, and does not seem to have any immediate connexion with anything in it. The point which seems worthy of notice is, that in each case the Lollard is represented as a mendicant friar. 332 NOTE D, ON NO. 42. PRONOSTICATIO. NOTE D, ON NO. 42.

PRONOSTICATIO. The object then was to shew that the disciple of Reynhardus LoUardus, who is represented in the first picture as a monk and a prophet, along with St. Bridget, the Sibyll, &c., is set forth in the second as a mendicant fi:iar with verses, confirming the opinion which derives the name fi-om the practice of singing. It is, however, here more to the purpose to mention, that although this edition appears to be very rare, yet more recent ones are abundant. In the article alluded to I men- tioned four editions (two Latin, one German, one Italian) of the year 1492, a German of 1497, Latin of 1499, Italian 1506, three editions of 1526, and what is one of the most remarkable facts in the history of this work, two German editions — at Wittemberg and Strasburg — of the year 1526, with a preface by Martin Luther. Then a Latin and a German edition of Cologne, 1528, three editions of 1530, and one of 1639. After having spoken of these editions I added — " as shewing the strong hold which it had, and maintained on the public mind, that though (if I understand it) the predictions which it contained were only framed pro- fessedly with a view to a period extended to the year 1567, yet after that time fresh editions continued to be published, and the Bibliotheca Bunaviana alone, furnishes German editions, published in 1620, 1633, 1651, and 1689. It seems, indeed, to have been a stock book for times of alarm or excitement ; and, probably, many editions intervened between these and that which was occasioned by the battle of Jena, and printed at Amsterdam, as recently as the year 1810." The book is principally made up of prognostications of war, famine, tumults, seditions, the oppression of the people, the humilia- tion and sufferings of the clergy and nobility ; and, of course, fitted for all times of revolution. 335 Note E, on No. 47. Albumasar. This is another of Ratdolt's volumes which» beside many other woodcuts, contains several initial letters, some resem- bling those in No. 29, and some very different; but none, that I can find, dotted. The letter with which the book begins is so unlike anything which I have seen elsewhere of the same period, and appears to me so elegant, that I am tempted to give a copy of it : — Note F, on No. 57. Alfonsus. The original edition of this work is described by Dr. Dibdin as printed at Venice, by Ratdolt, in 1483. In this edition, nine years later, by another printer, at the same place, there is great beauty, and, I believe, originality, in some of the ini- tial letters, most of which are of quite a different race from those already given. For instance : — 336 NOTE G, ON NO. 84. HORACE. When it is considered that the initial letters in this note, and two preceding (B and E) all belong to Venice in the fifteenth century, we must, I think, allow, that the infant art of print- ing was peculiarly indebted to that city. The head-title at the beginning of this book, on fol. ^ 4, is also curious : — Note G, on No. 84. Hokace. Dr. Dibdin has devoted several pages of his Bibliotheca Spenceriana to a description of this book ; at the beginning of which he says, " While the lover of ancient design and engraving may be induced to covet this volume from these considerations alone, the scholar and critic will not be indif- ferent to the possession of it, when he reads the ensuing notices of its comparative intrinsic worth. This is the impression which, in the BibL Harleian, vol. iii.. No. 754, is called, ' one of the greatest curiosities in the whole Harleian Collection : being adorned with a vast number of cuts, reckoned extremely beautiful when they were done.' The reader will, therefore," adds Dr. Dibdin, " expect some gratifying account of so extra- ordinary a volume." — Bib. Spenc, ii. 87. Such a description, occupying eight pages, and containing many very good copies of the woodcuts, he proceeds to give. In the course of it he states, that " the first, and every, book NOTE G, ON NO. 84. HORACE. 337 of the Odes, and, indeed, of the entire works of Horace, are filjied throughout with a profusion of small whole-length figures ccpstantly repeated ; of some of which, the ensuing are fac- siipiles. These figures are occasionally the same, in character, with those which appear in our own early printed books of the XVI. century : especially in the Shepherd's Calendar. The ccjllector may also meet with them in the small pieces of Cop- land and Wyer, as well as of almost every printer of the same period." He then gives some excellent copies, but all of single individuals, except one, which represents a lady and gentleman, and is one of the best and most characteristic copies of the whole. He has, indeed, said so much of it, that it is only necessary here to notice what seems to be an omission. It does not appear to me that the reader is sufficiently apprised of the fact, that most of the woodcuts are various combinatioijis of the same blocks, and somejsipies .c«nsiat of as many as fi\5e or si?c pieces. It might, indeed, be guessed, that the Lady and Gentleman, already alluded to, had been engraved on separate pieces, not very well joined together ; but the sin- gularity of the book is, that the same figures are liable to be found in different company, scenery, and circumstances, while rooms, houses, ships, and mofsels of land and sea are put together in almost innumerable combinations. The following cut originally consisted of four blocks, which, though here combined, may each be found in various places and circum- stances, up and down the volume. Some of the pictures con- sist, I think, of six or seven : — X x 338 NOTE G, ON NO. 84. HORACE. 339 Note H, on No. 91. Biel. Clement says, " Gabrielis Biel Lectura super Canonem Missse in alma Universitate Tuwingensi ordinarie lecta. Et a la Jin : Immensas igitur omnipotenti Patri et Filio et Spi- ritui Sancto, qui huius Sacrosancti Canonis verus Auctor et Inspirator extitit. Intemeratae quoque Virgin!

Loescheri Stromateus, Wittembergse, 1724 in 4'° p. 284." and goes on to say, that though the book, certainly was ex- tremely rare, yet Loescher had been mistaken in supposing it to be so on the ground that it was an octavo, for that it was, in fact, a foUo. He then adds, " Cette edition est si peu connu, que sans le P. Weislinger qui I'a decrite dans son Armamentarium Catholicum, p. 420. nous n'en aurions qu'une idee fausse et obscure. Jean Saubert est le premier, que je sache, qui en ait fait mention, dans son Historia Bibli- othecae Noribergensis, 1643. in 12°. p. 162. oil il dit 'Tubing. 1488.

Clement then says, that Maittaire has for the first edition • Tom. IV., p. 234. 340 NOTE H, ON NO. 91. BIEL. followed Jean de la Caille in his Ann. I. 493, and announced a second edition at p. 691, " sur la fot de divers catalogues," and that le P. Weislinger, who had seen both, said that the first was in folio, the second in quarto. And he afterwards says, " La seconde Edition pretendue de 1499. in 8™ selon J. de la Caille, et in Fol. selon Maittaire, est in 4'° selon le P. Weislinger 1. c. p. 728." There is obviously some obscurity, and perhaps there may be some mistake, about this book. Whoever looks at the colophon which I have given, (at No. 91, p. 32, before,) will see how easily a careless reader might take up the idea that the printing of the book was finished in 1488 ; and, in fact, the very copy before me has been lettered with that date. Still this is not enough to account for the notion of an edition of that year such as Clement describes, while this so obviously differs from that description. Is it not possible that this edi- tion of 1488, by John Otmar, might be a brief " epitome," made by the author of the lectures himself, and printed almost as soon as they were delivered, while this edition of 1499, by Frederic Meynberger, was the first complete one ? My reason for this suggestion will be found in a letter firom the editor to the printer, which, in the volume before me, stands on the page following the colophon. It begins — " Friderico meynberger bibliothecario Tubingii wendalinus stainbach humilis sacre theologie professor.

This letter is dated on the day of St. Martin of Tours, [Nov. llj] 1499; and the printing, as stated in the colophon, was completed on the eve of St. Andrew's day, [Nov. 29.] If this was the first full edition, it may explain the words " longe amplius" in the colophon. Whether what I have said may have any tendency to make the matter more clear I do not know. It may, perhaps, have that effect to say that the sheets being in " eights," the book might be called an octavo ; that being rather square, as to the size of the page, (7f inches wide by less than 10^ high,) it looks very like a quarto ; but that I believe it ought to be described (as I have described it) as a small folio. The print- ing is about 5^ inches wide, by 7| high, not including the headline. It is in columns, 53 lines, gothic type. Note I, on No. 93. Antonius de Rosellis. I doubt, as I have already stated, whether the first part of the volume (that is, the work of Antonius de Rosellis) ought not to be put under the year 1487 : my reason will appear fi-om the following statement :^ 342 NOTE I, ON NO. 93. ANTONIUS DE ROSELLIS. The first part of the book consists of 112 leaves, the last being blank, and the last but one bearing, on its reverse, this colophon :^-" Finit tractatus de potestate imperatoris ac pape : et an apud papam sit potestas vtriusque gladii : et de materia conciliorum qui appellatur monarchia editus per excellentissi- mum vtriusque iuris doctorem dominum Antonium de rosellis de aretio. Impensisque et arte Hermanni Lichtenstein Colo- niensis et impressum anno salutis millesimo quadringentesimo octuagesimo septimo Non. calen. Julii Venetijs." Then comes a fresh title-page, bearing this single line of title, " Opusculum in errores Monarchie." This consists of four sheets of sixes, beginning a fresh set of signatures, but exactly uniform, so far as I see, with the preceding part of the work, except that the leaves are not numbered. This has its own colophon, part of which I have given, and which in full stands thus : — " C Ex- plicit replica inquisitoris Germanic fratris Heinrici institoris adversus dogmata perversa Roselli. Impressa Venetijs arte et ingenio Jacobi de Leucho : expensis tamen Petri Liechten- steyn. Anno domini . 1 . 4 . 9 • 9 . die vero Julii .27." Now Seemiller, who describes an edition of the first part of this work at some length, under the year 1487, does not seem to have seen the second part at all. His description, however, of the first part, appHes most exactly to that in my hands. He prints the colophon, which I have just given, verbatim, and I see no discrepancy between the book which he describes, and that which is before me, except that the title contains not a word about the " Replica." Panzer, HI., 242, No. 999, under the year 1487, gives the first part of the work, without any allusion to the second ; and afterwards, at p. 465, No. 2544, under the year 1499, he gives the " RepUca" as a distinct and independent work. All this would present no difficulty, and we should determine, as a matter of course, NOTE K, ON NO. 98. ARS MORIENDI. 343 that the books were published in the years denoted by their respective colophons ; but then, it must be recollected, that in the volume before me, (the two parts of which tally most exactly with the descriptions of these separate works,) there is such a degree of uniformity in the printing, paper, &c., as gives them quite the appearance of being connected in publi- cation ; and, in fact, both are actually named in the title-page. Under these circumstances, I do not know that I am wrong in treating the whole as one work, though I cannot tell whether it derives that appearance from the original first part having been reprinted, colophon and all, without alteration, or whether the second part was printed to match the first, (printed some years before,) and the whole issued with a fresh title-page including both. This is the most probable supposition, not only because the work agrees with the description given by Seemiller, but because the title-page (alluding to the work having been placed in the Index Expurgatorius) has this in addition to the title which I have given : — " Monarchia diebus superioribus suspecta erroribus nunc per opusculum repli- carum nuperrime editum et impressum annexumque in calce omnes prorsus sunt extirpate." Note K, on No. 98. Aks Moriendi. I have said that I am unable to identify these leaves with any of the described editions. I will briefly refer to them, and mention the points of discrepancy. To begin with the editions described by Heinecken in his " Idee G6nerale d'une collection complette d'estampes." The first and second of them may be disposed in a word, for he states that, in them, the cuts are surrounded by two lines. 344 NOTE K, ON NO. 98. ARS MORIENDI. while thepe are surrounded by three. Thirdly, he comes to the Haarlem, copy, but, by the way, incidentally mentions three leaves which he found at Frankfort, which, he was con- vinced, belonged to a different edition. It is enough for my present purpose that they did not belong to the same as the Lambeth copy ; and this seems to be proved by his statement, that the " Tentation de la vaine gloire" is marked by the letter f) in a tablet. Now some of the Lambeth leaves have letters in tablets like this, but the cut in question has none ; and it is not merely that in the Lambeth leaves that letter is wanting in that block, but that the next leaf of the Frankfort — which is the good angel's discourse against vain glory — is marked, as we might expect, with a similar tablet, bearing the letter ( ; that leaf the Lambeth has not, but it has a different leaf bearing that same tablet signature (♦ Further, Clement {Bib. Cur.,No\. ;II. p. 145) says, that these Frankfort leaves were " environn6es d'un quadre forme tantot de deux, taotot de trais lignes, iuegales," and very rude and irregular ; while, as I have already said, the Lambeth leaves have invariably three,; and they are by no means what any man at all acquainted with the works of that period would describe in such terms as " tout h. fait grossiere, mince dans un endroit et large dans I'autre, tantot elle est crenelee, tantot il y en a une partie d'6facee en levant la forme, tantot il en manque un bout, &c." As to the Haarlem copy, however, which agrees in having three lines of border, Heinecken distinctly states, that the letter in the tablet of that Temptation to vain glory is a U, in which cut, as I have already said, the Lambeth leaves have no tablet or letter of any kind. Clement describes two editioiis: one at Paris, and the other at Dresden. He states, as a difference between them that in the latter, the paper-mark is a cross on three moun- NOTE K, ON NO. 98. ' ARS MORIENDI. 345 tains ; in the former, an Agnus Dei. In the Lambeth leaves, the water-mark differs from both, being an unicorn. In fact, the only description with which these leaves seem to agree, is that which Panzer gives. Vol. IX. p. 316, of a copy " in collectione Dn. de Maugerade," though I cannot avoid a suspicion that the degree of accordance arises, in some degree, from the laxity and brevity of his description, which might suit several editions not strictly identical. He says : — " Ars mokiendi. Folio habet 12, quae praeter 1. et 12. con- glutinata sunt." He then proceeds to give a short title of each, which I will here copy, adding, in brackets, the numbers of what appear to be the corresponding leaves in the Lambeth copy : — F61. 1. a. vacuum. b. fig.

ARS MORIENDI. 24," because each of the « folia conglutinata" was really two leaves, which had been printed on one side in order that they might be so stuck together. The Lambeth leaves are in their single primitive state. Their polished backs proving that they were not worked off by a press, but by rubbing. Mr. Ottley has said, " I am strongly of opinion that those early block-books, whose pretensions to antiquity are not unat- tended by some claims to our approval of them as works of art, appertain more properly to the ancient schools of Holland and Flanders, than to that of Germany ; an opinion, indeed, which a comparison of some of the best of them, with others, professedly and indisputably executed in Germany, will tend not a little to support. I know of but three works of the kind that are entitled to this distinction : the ' Biblia Pauperum,' or ' Poor Man's Bible ;' the ' Historia seu Protidentia Vir- GiNis MARLffi EX Cantico Canticorum ;' and the ' Speculum HuMANiE SALVATioNis.' As for the ' Ars Memorandi,' the ' Historia Sancti Johannis EvANGELisTiE, ejusque visiones Apocalyptic^,' and the 'Ars Moriendi,' of which there are so many editions — and all the other block-books which Heinecken has so elaborately described — they are evidently of another and very inferior school; and, whether executed in Germany, or in the Low Countries, were, probably, the rude manufac- ture of the ordinary card-makers." — History of Engraving, Vol. L p. 108. This may be true of such copies of the Ars Moriendi as the writer had seen, and it is not, perhaps, unjust to those copied by Heinecken, which are coarse ; but it is what no man would think of saying with reference to the engravings now under consideration. I do not pretend to such knowledge of works of this description as would warrant my speaking authorita- tively, but I must say, that, as far as I can judge, they need NOTE L, ON NO. 103. DURANDUS. 347 not fear a comparison with any of the engravings which Ottley has given as the most favourable specimens of the best class of block-books; Note L, on No. 103. Durandus. I made this reference hoping, that by the time when it should be necessary to write the note, I might have been in possession of more information than I have been able to ob- tain. I did not refer the work to the press of Fust and Schoyffer without having had doubts about Ulric Zell ; and some of his printing which I have since seen, has tended to revive those doubts ; but, instead of speculations on this point, I will endeavour to give such niiarks as riiay identify the work, in case this should meet the eye of any one who has access to a similar copy. It is printed in double columns, with a headline running across both. I have stated that there are thirty-five lines to a columfaj and I believe that the number of printed leaves amounts to 472. It has no signatures, but they have been put in with a pen, (though many have been cut off in modern re-binding,) and run to B b b in tens, the last leaf, and the reverse df the preceding being quite blank. The first four leaves coritain only a table of contents. The last words on the recto of the first sixteen leaves respectively are — habituri, tropos, de. Quod, qui, pronuntiant, dicetur, irrigatio, vii, ne, vident, presentein, paulus, Tapeta, nostrum, babilonie. Whether it is worth while to add the following extract fi:om Clement I hardly know : — " Mr. D'Uffenbach poSsedoit une ancienne edition sans date, du Rationale Divinorum Officiorum, cotee dans la Bib- liotheca UfFenbachiana, T.IL, Francof,, 1730, in 8™, Append. 348 NOTE M, ON NO. 113.

Fabricius says, " Editiones extant praeter antiquas sine loco et anno, Argentinenses 1474, 1483, &c." — Bib, Med. et inf. Lai. This book has every appearance of being one of those early undated editions, and also of having been printed at Strasburg. The printer's device, which I have attempted to describe, may be judged of fi-om the following reduction, which is one-sixteenth part of the size of the original. If it is meant to represent letters, it would seem as if they must be T M, though I know of no printer whom they would suit. 349 Note N, on No. 129. Soliloq. Anime. Meerman says, " lisdem denique typis prodierunt Opera varia thomae a kempis quae spissum volumen fol. min. con- ficientia," &c.

Typ., Tom. L p. 145. He has given a fac-sinule of the type in his plate No. VII. It need not be said that his arguments pro- duced no conviction, and that he felt obliged to acquiesce in the opinion that these works were printed by Nich. Ketelaer, and Ger. de Leempt, at Utrecht, though he endeavoured so to accoimt for it as to save his hypothesis.* I do not, however, see that the conclusion of the book which I have transcribed, has ever been noticed. ' As " A. G." cannot stand for the name of the author, (if, as has never I believe been doubted, the work belongs to Thomas a Kempis,) should we not expect it to stand for the printer ? But it will not suit these artists of Utrecht ; and leads one to suspect that there is still some- thing to be learned respecting this curious volume; which will always be a matter of interest, from its being one of the very few supposed (how justly I do not pretend to decide) to have been printed with moveable wooden types.

They were furnished from MS. additions foimd in a copy of the earlier edition of Cave's work, which was, and is, in the Lambeth Library (MS. 956.) They are, in the more recent edition, ascribed to Archbishop Tenison, simply on the ground that the handwriting is that of his Grace.* This is, however, a mistake, for the handwriting is, undoubtedly, that of Henry Wharton. Of his connexion with the Lambeth Library, as well as with Cave and the His- toria Literaria, I need not here speak. He made those notes at the beginning, on the margin, and at the end of his copy ; and, no doubt, many of them, from the very volumes now in the Lambeth Library ; and, whatever credit or blame attached to them, belongs to him, and not to the Archbishop. At the same time, they must be looked on as mere memoranda, not prepared for the press ; and, in the notice of this book there are one or two inaccuracies which it may be proper to point out, but which might have been corrected before publication. The full title and colophon of the book are as follows : — " LrBEK MOBALiTATUM elegantissimus maguarum rerum naturalium Lumek Anihe dictns . cum septem apparitoribus necnon sanctorum doctorum orthodoxe fidei profeSsorum Poetaruni etiani ac oratorum auttoiitatitus per modum * They are prefaced by this description — " Notse MSS. et Accessiones Ano- nymi ad Cavei Historialu Lit^ariam, Codicis Margiini adscriptEei in Bibliotheba Lambethana.

In the advertisement to the volume in which they are contained, the editor says, " Quid in hac nova Historiae Literarise Editione a nobis hactenus fiierit prsestitum,' Praefatioj quam Volumen prius sibi praefix^m gerit, jam satis admonuit.

Henry Wharton, in his note, says of the author of this work, " In praefatione dicit se opus istud Joannis XXII. Pontificis jussu aggressum, in eo triginta annis desudasse, adjunctis sibi laboris sociis, Leone Amundo, et Severino, tri- plici lingua peritissimis, qui libros quosdam de naturarum ordine, de Graeco in Latinum nondum translates diligenter celeriterque transferrent. Idem plurimos a se visos et usur- patos, quos hodie desideramus, libros, vel potius a Judaeis confictos et Philosophis Arabicis, enumerat." Looking at the book, I have felt some doubt whether Mathias Farinator meant to say that he was, or was not, the original compiler of the work. If not, however, he under- took to arrange it with great labour and pains by order of the Pope, who was so pleased with the work in its original and unfinished state, that he commanded the author, or editor, (whichever he was,) to complete his work. Three persons (in Wharton's account it looks as if there were only two) were assigned to help him in translating the works necessary for the undertaking ;* and it may be worth while to name the * There are two prologues ; one before, and one after, the table of con- tents : in the former he says — " Post diutinam oecultationem : divina voleute gratia vti preciossima margarita multis laboribus : ad commune plurimomm vsum in publicum productus est liber Cum autem adhuc informis esset simplicioribusque rudis et obscurus appareret Ego frater Mathias farina- toris de wyeua ordiuis beate del genetricis et virginis Marie de monte carmeli lectorum sacre theologie minimus precibus victus deuote supplicantium assiduis 352 NOTE 0, ON NO. 18*. LUMEN ANIME. books which he mentions, and to which Wharton alludes. They form what is in several points of view a curious scrap of literary history, and are as follows : — " Liber Henuetis de corporibus transmutandis. Liber quidam laude dignus De quattuor Transcendentibus Algazel. Palemon De Signis Naturarum. Morienes de zonis et climatibus mundi. Belinas de Inyentione artium.'' These books had never been translated from the Greek, and he himself rendered them into Latin. In Toledo, the follow- ing books were discovered, and furnished by a Jew : — " Pablins Celsus de mirabilibus nature. Centobius de giro orbis. ne lateret in obscuris condita Tirtus clara tenebris : enndem in titulos : et titulos in paragraphos : non modico labore prout cernitnr distinxi." In tbe second prologue he tells us — " Reuoluto interea duorum temporum aut annorum circulo cum summus pontifex qnadam die tranquillius in se : quietus placidusque efiectus : cepta predict! adhuc tunc incompleti operis aspexisset . veritatem quoque et di- uersitatem mirabilium effeotuum in natura quos in hoc breui perstringam stilo : opusculo et tractatu : mente armatus et scmtatus : oculo intuitusque fuisset : cepit diligenter inquirere : unde aut quo opifice seu auctore . ortum prelibatus liber atque initium habmsset.

From a monastery in Germany some books were brought him — ^namely, " Archita tharentinus de eventibus in natura. Alkabioius in Perspectivis. Theophilus in Breviario diversarum Artium. Fontinv^ in Descriptionibus Universi." In process of time, he was informed that there were some books lurking at Cahors. He went there, and found — " Constantinus de natoris liquidorum cuncta includens accidentia et e£fectus aque . Tdni . olei . niuis . roris . pluuie et pruine . natura nou obmissa . fon- tiom . maris . fluioi . stagni . paludis . cuiusUbetque liquoris." At Rome was found — " Evenus de Contentlbus Orbis . qui totam naturam perstrinxit celestium regionum ea que sub concaTO sunt orbis lune edisserens luculenter." In England, (in Anglica regione in persinona,) a certain book — " Amphites in Edictis philosophorum. Pandulphus de meatibus terre . qui cunctas venas . meatus atque aditus snb- terraneos . conflexiones . specus . antra et interiora latibula . cavernulasque terrarum . porositates . profunditates . concauitatesque totius seculi mate- rialis et ambitus subtns terram enumerat singillatim." These books, too, should, he says, be mentioned : — " Isidorus in historiis natnralibus. Solinus de probleumatibus rerum. Avicenna in libro mineralium et de , iiii . diluviis," By the grace and favour of certain physicians, there were lent to him — " Johannes Mesne in . i . et . ii practica.

At the same time the following books were in vogue at Paris (floruerunt parisius libri hi) : — " Theophrastus de parte sensitiva. Alphorabius de differentia regionum. Albertns commentator de impressionibus aeris. Commentator Averrois qui Arabs erat." Then he found at Palencia a certain book, called — " Themestii Summa naturalium entium, ubi etiam entia distinguuntur natu- ralia ab entibus incorruptibilibus et supemis." Beside these, he mentions — " Commenta Simplicii et Zenonis. Probleumata Philsophi (that is, of Aristotle,) quae ' tunc famosa erant et gratiosa universaliter toti orbi.'

It is, however, in remarkably fine condition ; and has such a margin, that I do not know whether I ought to call it large paper, or only uncut, or both. Note P, on No. 165. Thomas Wakefeld. It seems due to a very learned, though now very obscure, man, to say a few words about him. His brother, Robert, of whom I hope to speak in a subsequent note,* is not entirely forgotten, chiefly through his having been absurdly slandered by Le Grand, and defended by Bishop Burnet, for the part ■which he took in the question of the king's divorce. Of Thomas, however, little is perhaps on record, except what may be found in Anthony a Wood's incidental mention of • See Note G G, on Nos. 509, 510. NOTE P, ON NO. 165. THOMAS WAKEFELD. 355 him in the article on his brother. Referring to Oxfordi he tells us, that Robert " read publicly the Hebrew lecture there, as his brother Tho. Wakefeld did at Cambridge by the Kings authority, beginning to read there in 1540 ;" and in his state- ment, that when Robert died in 1537, he left Thomas his heir. What the latter inherited I do not know, but I have not found any reason to think that he got his brother's library. It was, however, through his own books that I came to know anything of him. I found, from time to time, so many books in this collection bearing his name, and neatly annotated by his skilful and industrious hand, that I felt curious to learn something more about him.~ There were, no doubt, many hard readers in those days ; but not many who adorned the margins of their books with notes in which Greek and Rab- binic Hebrew are so frequent, and testify so much practice and familiarity. I have not read the notes sufficiently to say whether they contain anything valuable in the way of criticism; and, I confess, I looked at them rather with the hope of finding something to throw light on the character and circumstances of the writer. I thought myself lucky, there- fore, when I met with a copy of Melancthon's Commentary on the Romans, Marp., 1533, 8™, (xiv. 9. 10. 8™,) in which he had written^ just above the colophon, " Thomas Wake- feldus pontefractanusi" This agrees with, and illustrates, Anthony a Wood's statement, that Robert Wakefeld was " a northern man born," It seems, too, as if they were related to John Wakefeld, whom Archbishop Cranmer, in a letter to Cromwell, describes as " Controller of my houfehold> a man of good judgment and affection towards God's word^ which I have known him for the space of these twelve years [the letter dp- pears to have been written in 1538] always ready to promote in his country, not rashly nor seditiously, but gently and 356 NOTE P, ON NO. 165. THOMAS WAKEFELD. soberly, so that his own country could neither greatly hate him, nor love him : they could not hate him for his kindness and gentilness, being ready to do every man good as much as in his power was ; and yet they could not heartily love him, by cause he ever commended the knowledge of God's word, studied in himself diligently, and exhorted them unto the same, and spake many times against the abusions of the clergy ; for which he had aU the hate that most of the clergy could procure against him ; and partly for his sincere mind which he beareth towards God's word, partly for his true and faithful heart which he hath borne towards his prince and such things as from time to time his Highness hath set forth, and specially in this last commotion in the north parties, for so much as he so unfeignedly declared his true and faithful allegiance unto the Kings Highness, refusing the confederacy of the Lord Darcye and other being gathered together unto the castle of Pomfrete And now forasmuch, as I am informed that the Priory of Pomfercte shall be surrendered unto the King's Grace's hands, and that both the situation and the demesne lands of that house lieth very commodiously for him, specially in the town where he dwelleth : there shall be to beseech your lordship to be so good lord unto him, as to be a mean unto the Kings Majesty that he may have the pre- ferment of the said priory with the demesnes in farm, doing in that behalf as any other will do for the King's Graces advantage."* It does not appear that this suit was successful ; and I do not know that I have met with any other notice of this John Wakefeld. As to Thomas, however, I at length met with a volume in which were bound together Seb. Munster's Gospel • Cranmer's Remains, by Jenkyns, Vol. I. p. 233. NOTE P, ON NO. 165. THOMAS WAKEFELD. 357 of St. Matthew in Hebrew, Basil, 1537; his Joseph ben Gorion, Basil, 1541 ; and Philo Judaeus, in the Latin version of Joannes Sichardus (against whose name Thomas Wakefeld has written, " ineptus sane interpres") of Basil, 1527, all an- notated by his hand. Whether the " Agathyus," which is bound in the same volume (xxiv. 5. 21. f.. No. 304 of this List) was also his, I do not feel so certain] for the books have, undoubtedly, been bound together since he wrote his marginal notes, and some have been injured by the process. One, however, which has been somewhat cropped, at page 61 of the Philo Judaeus, is quite legible; Philo asks, " Quare quadraginta annorum erat Isaac cum nupsisset Rebeccam ?" and answers, " Nuptiae maturae sapienti, quadragenariae sunt, bonum est enim prius exerceri" &c. Thomas Wakefeld has underlined this answer, and written in the margin, " Huius aetatis ego Thom. Wakefel[dus] eram antequam uxorem duxerim et genui nouem liberos quorum tres erant filii ex duobus scilicet uxoribus, chestertoni." The only other of his books, as far as I see, which oifer any hint respecting him, or the way by which his books came into this collection, are these three — a fine copy of the " Biblia cum Concordantiis" of Lyons, 1526, fol. (ii. 1. 6. f.) where I feel no doubt that the name which has been partially torn away from the top of the title-page was his. In the middle of that page is written, " liber richardi warham."* On the covers of this volume are the arms of Archbishop Whitgift. To this must be added two * This is, I presume, the person who is described in Wood's Fasti as " Doctor of the civil law of the university of Orleans in France ;" and, it seems probable, that he was related to Archbishop Warham, for a note in Dr. Bliss's edition says, [" 1623. 17. Aug. Mag. Ric. Warham oler. ad eccl. de Cheyham in dec. de Croydon, per resign : Georgii Santleger clerieus ad coll. arohiepiscopi Reg. Warham Cant. Kennet."] 358 NOTE P, ON NO. 165.

The one, St. Jerome's Epistles, by Erasmus, Basil, 1524, f., (ii. 2. 11. f. ;) and the other, the very rare edition of the New Testament, printed by Thomas Anshelm, Hagenose, 1521, 4'°, (xxxiii. 3. 5. 8™.) These three, there- fore, we may suppose to have belonged to Archbishop Whit- gift, but I do not see reason to suppose that any of the others did. Some of them are curious books, and I doubt not that there are many which I have not observed, or rather, of which I have not a memorandum. The following will, however, shew that he had more than a common collection of books, and that he was a man in whose favour a note somewhat di- gressive might be forgiven, even if this library were not so much enriched by the fruits of his labour and zeal.

In Catal. Ric. Smith. Quarto," as printed by Pynson ; but I do not find it in Dr. Dibdin's edition of the Typographical Antiquities. Whether it was a mistake for this work, I do not know ; but I mention it because it is the only notice that I find of the existence of any such book, or of the writer, John Barkby, or Barchby. This copy I found in the binding of a copy of Coverdale's New Testament, (Y. 3, 13,) " Presented to the liambeth Library by Mr. Jacob ofFeversham, 1785." It seems to have previously belonged to the late learned antiquary, Mr. Swinton, who has written on the top of the second page, " These two pages make up a small piece printed by Wynkyn de Worde at London in 1506, and intituled : Istae sunt regulse informationis primae secundum usum Magistri Joannis Barchby senioris. Lond. 1506. J. Swinton." By pages, Mr. Swinton obviously meant leaves. Further, the binder having used them for (if I may so speak) the end-paper and fly-leaf at the beginning of the book, the first pase, containing the title, was completely pasted down 360 NOTE Q, ON NO. 170. JOHN BARCHBY. on the board. Mr. Swinton, therefore, got his knowledge of the title elsewhere ; and, indeed, if the title had been visible here at the time when he wrote, he could hardly have thought of writing such a note. We may, therefore, presume, (what is in itself likely enough, especially as we do not find the work described by any bibliographical writer,) that Mr. Swinton took his information from some other copy of the work ; and we might, perhaps, lay some stress on his descrip- tion, and imagine that by using the phrase " make up," he meant to signify that they constituted the whole work. Yet, I think this can hardly be the case, and that, though evidently the first and last leaves of the tract, they must have had at least two others between them. This will appear from a brief notice of them. Page 1.

The fifth paragraph has got three verses, which are evidently all that it ought to have, and the page appears to be complete. Page 3.

Considering the date of this work, and the author's un- doubted acquaintance with the state of literature in his own time, there are one or two things worth notice in the reasons which he assigns for writing it. He begins by referring to his own reflections on the decay of sacred literature, at that time not merely neglected, but by many held in absolute contempt, owing to the study of eloquence, and the fascination of poetry. He hoped to excite and interest men who were so familiar with the Bible in Latin as to be weary of it, by presenting it to them in its original, but to them entirely new, form. Hebrew Bibles were so plenty, that Christians might buy them for a trifle, but they could not read them because no learned man had come forward as an instructor, either from aversion to the labour, or from an impression that it was a degradation to turn schoolmaster and teach rudiments. He had, however, himself determined to brave the abuse which he expected, (and which we know that he received,) not only from Jews, but from Christians, urged by still another reason — ^namely, that the Jews, driven not only out of Spain, but Germany, and taking refuge in the East, it seemed as if the Hebrew language was likely to be entirely lost in Christendom. 3 A 362 NOTE E, ON NO. 172. JOANNES REUCHLIN. He therefore put forth this splendid folio, not without an assurance that posterity would appreciate and applaud his labours.* - One thing is rather amusing, and characteristic both of the man and of the times. Having indulged in the pedantry of printing his book backwards, as if it were a real Hebrew work, he seems to have been anxiously afraid lest readers should begin at the wrong end. To guard against this, the first page, (which these uninitiated readers might sup- pose to be the last) bears nothing on it but, in the middle in large capitals — PRINCIPIVM L I B R I and at the end of the preface he gives a very special caution on the subject ;t but as this might not immediately come before the notice of those who were actually beginning at the end, * " Persaepe mihi cogitanti de coimnuni sacrarum literarum iactura, Dionysi frater . quae cum multitudine sophismatum annis superioribus turn maxime nunc propter eloquentise studium et poetarvuu amoemtatem non modo neglignntur. uerum etiam a quampltirimis contemptui habentur ueterum sancta- riun literarum dignitatem in nouam faciem latinis hominibus hactenus incognitam reuerti . ut nimia familiaritate quotidianse lectionis explora nouum et uatiuum in diuina scriptura dicendi genus cum igitur hebraicse biblise passim in Italia imprimautur . quas sibi quisque pauco sere mercari facile queat Ego miseratns tam sanctas literas . indolui mea setate studiosos diutius hebraicae linguae scientia carere . quapropter illorum ingenio fauens ausus sum . licet supra modum forsan temere ; primus omnium et tam graue pondus meis bumeris imponere . et simul ofFerre me latratibus mordacium . utinam iudaicis solum." ■(■ "Nunc in calce prsefationis hoc unum admonuisse te uelim . quod hie liber contrario latinis more legendus est.

The same volume contains his work, " De Arte Cabal- istica," No. 322 in this List. The same work. No. 357. The Library contains a third copy, of Basil, 1550, fol., (x. 3. 2. f.) which, of course, does not come into this List.

It is matter of surprise to me that I have found no notice of this splendid volume in Panzer. But, such being the case, it seems worth while to give some further description of it. It is printed in fine square roman type, and ornamented with abundance of woodcuts, of which I will give one or two specimens, but first, the initial A, with which the work begins, the whole page being enclosed in a highly ornamental archi- tective border. Of the woodcuts which follow it, the first represents David before Saul, and is at fol, 19 b.. The isecond, the prophet Hosea, at fol. 129, 364 NOTE S, ON NO. 175. PETRUS DB NATALIBUS. NOTE T, ON NO. 187, PYNSOn's LEGEND. 365 These cuts are, I believe, appropriated exclusively to the sub- jects which they here represent ; but, in a great part of the pictures, one is uncomfortably deprived of the power of sup- posing that any particular likeness may be relied on, not merely by knowing the probability that the cut is used for some other saint, but by the honest simplicity which, while this is done, retains, in the cut itself, the name of the original saint. For instance, at fol. 15, St. Anastasia is seen in the flames, while her three handmaids — Agape, Thionia, and Irene — walk in procession up to the Prefect, who is seated on his throne ; the name of the saint being twice repeated in capital letters within the frame of the cut. But this does not pre- vent its serving for S. Apollonia, fol. 52 b ; S. Antonia, at fol. 88 ; S, Flavia, fol. 90 b ; and perhaps others. At the same time, the variety of those which are strictly appropriated is very great ; and some of them appear to me to possess great merit. Note T, on No. 187. Pynson's Golden Legend. The editions of the Golden Legend, as well as the works of Pynson, have been so sought out and described, that I can- not help fearing that I may be exposing my ignorance by speaking of this work as unknown. The truth however, is, that I have not found any notice of it ; and therefore it seems right to give such a description as may at least serve to iden- tify it Generally speaking, it bears a considerable resemblance to W. de Worde's edition of 1527 ; but. it is a thicker volume, not only because it contains more leaves, but because it is printed on thicker paper. It begins with a woodcut, some- 366 NOTE T, ON NO. 187. pynson's legend. what resembling that in W. de Worde's in size and subject, but different from it ; and the first page also bears a general resemblance, though the cut of Adam and Eve, and the woodcut at the top of the second column, are different. The latter is in Pynson's an A, instead of an I, the column begin-i ning, " As we redde y' in the beginnynge," instead of " In the begynnynge." The following notes will, however, be sufficient to distinguish the two editions, which I will desig- nate by the letters W and P. The colophon, " C After the feestes," which is at fol. 53 in W, is on the reverse of fol. 55 in P, the rest of that folio being blank : and the next being headed by a black band nearly two inches broad, containing in large white gothic letters, " Legenda sctor," very much in the same way as the " Vitas Patrum," in W. de Worde's edition of that book. In W, that colophon is followed by an alphabetical " Table ;" in P, by a " Tabula," giving " eche hystorye lyfe, and passyon " in the order of its occurrence, occupying three pages, and six lines of the fourth, the remainder being filled up by nine wood- cuts of saints, enclosed in a border. The next page begins, " C Here foloweth an other table by letter," which is similar to that in W; it occupies about as much space as the former Tabula, and the fourth page of it is again filled up with woodcuts, but in this case there are only four, of a larger size than the others. All this is prefatory matter, and in W it consists of 54 leaves, and in P of 59. Then, in each edition, a new foliation and firesh signatures begin. In turning over the leaves, it has appeared to me, that in most cases where there is a woodcut in one edition, there is also one in the other ; but that, sometimes, though the same in subject, the cuts were obviously and widely different, sometimes identically the same — that is, worked from the same block ; and that,^ NOTE U, ON NO. 205. HIERONYMUS. 367 sometimes, those in W were copies intended to be fac-similes, but decidedly inferior to those in P. From the beginning of this fresh foliation, W has 384 leaves, P has 398, the last leaf, which contains only the colophon and device, not being num- bered, and that which precedes it being erroneously num- bered CCC.lxxxxiiii, instead of CCCC.lxxxxvii. Beneath the colophon is Pynson's , device, No. V., as given by Dr. Dibdin, in the second volume of his edition of Herbert, but before the bottom was actually broken, as he represents it, though it had been violently dented. Note U, on No, 205. Hieronymus in Vitas Patrum. This is a beautiful little folio. The title which I have given at full length is all in red. Underneath it is, in black, a cut of St. Jerome, about two inches wide, and two and a half high, surrounded by twelve such little cuts of saints as the following, which are alternately black and red. / / These and similar cuts are numerous in the volume, being placed at the beginnings of the lives. They seem to be evidently of the same family, but I have not been able to fix on any one as identically the same with those which I have imentioned as appearing in the title of No, 264. This resem- 368 NOTE X, ON NO, 283. DRUTHMARUS. blance, and his mark, a fleur-de-lis with S. V., puts it beyond doubt that both come from the same place ; but what is meant by the P.

VII. p. 451^ does not much differ from that of Panzer, which is as follows : — " Erudita admodtun preclaraque expositio in Evangelium secundum Mathenm diaini sermonis praeconibus familiaritate oommodissima Religio- sissimi.F. ckistiani dkutinari (DBtiTHiiARi) Aquitanien.monachi S.

This is SO very different from the title which I have given, that I can only suppose it to have been taken from some other edition, under a mistake; for, undoubtedly, the book before me is not only the edition of 1514, but the particular copy which was known — " exstare penes eximium virum Thomam Tenison ecclesiae Anglicanae theologum celeberrimum" — at the time when Cave wrote his Historia Literaria ; and it still has, on the end fly-leaf, the following note in the Archbishop's handwriting — " V. contra Trans : fol 84. ;" and in another line, immediately under, " V. Labbe de Script eccl. Tom. I. p. 751, 752, 753." The controversy to which the Archbishop's note refers has been repeatedly detailed ; and, considered in a bibliographical point of view, it is rather curious. The author was a Bene- dictine monk of Corby, in the ninth century. When Sixtus Senensis published his Bibliotheca Sancta, (I believe in 1566,) he charged the Protestants with having corrupted the text of NOTE X, ON NO. 283. DRUTHMARUS. 369 Druthmar's statement respecting the Eucharist, in the printed editions, and undertook to correct it by a manuscript which he had found in the library of the Franciscans at Lyons. He says — " Accipite, §• comedite : hoc est corpus meum Sfc. — Matth. xxvi. 26. " Christianus Druthmarus recensetur a Sacramentarijs hsereticis in numerum vetenim Patrum, quos illi falso & impudenter impietatis sue defensores esse iactant, quia in commentar. super Matth. ita banc declaret sententiam, Tt asse- rere videatur Corpus Christi non aliter Sacramento altaris adesse quam in figora . scribit namque hoc modo : Dbdit discipulis suis Sacramentum corporis sui, in remissionem peccatorum, & in conseruationem cbaritatis, \t memores illius facti semper hoc in figuram facerent, quod pro eis acturus erat, & huius charitatis non obliuiscerentur, Hoc est corpus meum, id est, in Sacramento, Et pauld pdst SicVT si aliquis peregre proficiscens, dilectoribus suis quoddam vincu- lum dileetionis relinquit eo tenore, vt omni die haec agant, vt illius non obliuiscan- tur : ita Dominus prsecepit nos agere, transferens spiritualiter corpus in panem, in viuum sanguinem, vt per hsec duo memoraremus, quse fecit de corpore & san- guine sue : et non simus ingrati tam amantissimse charitatis.

This was followed by Cardinal Perron, who, in his Treatise on the Eucharist, said — " J'ay dit, qui fut enuiron le temps auquel nos aduersaires falsifierent Drut- marus & Paschasius. Car I'an 1530.

" Au mesme temps que nos aduersaires publierent Beitramus, ils firent aussi sortir hors de leur boutique Druthmarus, autheur du mesme siecle, si impudem- ment falsifie sur le faict de I'Euoharistie, que depuis que Sixtus Senensis a conuaincu ceste falsification par la conference des anciens exemplaires [the single Lyons MS. is on the increase] ils n'ont plus os6 ouurir la bouche pour le produire." — Ibid., p. 667. To this it seems, (for I have not his work at hand,) Alber- tinus replied, that the passage — in what the Cardinal consi- dered its heretical form — was to be found in an edition of Druthmar, printed, with every mark of orthodoxy and autho- rity, at Strasburg, in 1514 ; and, of course, before Luther had been heard of. On this Father Labbe (in the place referred to in Archbishop Tenison's note) remarked — " Varum vbi editionem illam viderit, quave in Bibliothecaeamdeprehenderit, non addidit. Fateor me numquam hactenus in eamincidisse, nee mirum, cum ea diligentibus Germanis, Gesnero, Simlero, Jacobo Frisio, ut Mirseum aliosque re- centiores taceam, ftierit ignota, soliusque Haganoensis meminerint ex MS. codice VormatifE per Meinhardum Moltherum reperto. Verum non omnia Tidimus omnes : quamuis mihi Albertini hominis haeretici et a fide ac religione majornm suorum ■trapata.Tov valde suspecta sit fides." — p. 752. It is strange, indeed, that a book of such size, which bore on its title-page an extract from the Pope's bull, and on the NOTE X, ON NO. 283. DRUTHMARUS. 371 reverse of that title the licence of the imperial censor, and which continued to be so known as that it was reprinted in sixteen years, should have been wholly unknown to such men as Father Labbe, and those whom he names. It is one of many almost incredible facts which shew the value of catalogues. It is, at the same time, very remarkable, that all the controversy about it has not, as far as I see, led to the discovery of half-a-dozen copies ; perhaps, not of more than three or four. Fabricius (Bib. Med. et inf. Lat.) mentions this copy of Archbishop Tenison's, after Cave ; another, which was in the possession of Daille ; and a third, in that of Biine- mann ; and he may mean (so Vogt, p. 312, understands him, but I think incorrectly,) that Wetstein had a fourth copy. Vogt, however, names a fourth, at Jena. De Bure ( Theol., 150) says, " Get ouvrage est rare ; il a ete exactement sup- prime, mais sans bruit," but on what authority he makes this statement I do not know. It need hardly be said, that since the fact of the existence of this edition has been established, the matter has been treated in a manner somewhat diflFerent by writers of the Romish Church. Ceillier, for instance, says — " Son explication des paroles de I'institution de I'Eucharistie, a donne lieu a une dispute assez yive entre les Auteurs de la perpetuite et les Ministres Pro- testans. Ceux-li ont pretendu que les exemplaires de Druthmar avoient ete corrumpu en cet endroit : et qu'on devoit les rStablir sur un manuscrit des Cor- deliers de Lyon vu par Sixte de Sienne. Ceux-ci ont soutenu que le texte n'avoit point ete altere et que dans I'edition de Strasbourg en 1514, faite par les soins de Wimphelin de Selestat, avant la naissance du Lutheranisme et Calvinisme, on lit comme on a lu dans toutes les autres qui ont svdvi.

Gen. des Aut. Sac., Tom. XVIIL, p. 690. It may be worth while to add, that at fol. Lxxxinr,, to which the Archbishop refers, the words stand — " [Deditque 372 NOTE Y, ON NO. 318.

Gregobiana. The author of this work became a monk of St. Martin's in Tournay, about a.d. 1096, and held the situation of librarian there for forty-seven years. When I put the reference to a note, I hoped to have been able to give some account of the original autograph of the work, which I thought I had seen in the valuable private collection of my friend Dr. Todd, of Trinity College, Dublin, but I find I was mistaken, and that while the printed book in this Library contains only the third of the four parts of which the whole work consists. Dr. Todd's MS., which he (it seems with good reason) supposes to have been actually written by the pen of Alulphus, contains nothing but what is in the fourth part. I should, therefore, be out- stepping my province were I to enter into details respecting the volume, interesting and valuable as it is. It may be right, however, to notice an error which exists — though I do not undertake to say where — respecting this book. Fabricius says, " Liber tertius in Novum Testamentum, lucem vidit Paris. 1516. 4. et eodem anno Argentorati per Joannem Knob- lauchium,"* which latter, is the edition under consideration. * Bibl. Med. et Inf. Lat. in t. Alxilfus. NOTE Z, ON NO. 389. EXPOSITIO HYMNORUM. 373 Panzer agrees in describing the work printed at Paris, (as he states by Berthold Remboh,) as that part of the Gregoriahs which was on the New Testament (exceptionum opus super novum testamentum. VIII. 28, No. 837.) But then, Mabil- lon — whom it would be almost as great a sin to suspect of either ignorance or mistake, as it would be to consider him incapable of either — says, " Gregoriahs sola secunda pars vul- gata est Parisiis anno MDXVI."* I have not the means of deciding which is right. Certainly this Strasburg book is the third part. Note Z, on No. 389. Expositio Hymnorum. I have already given the Expositio Sequentiarum, which is bound with and resembles this Expositio Hymnorum, under the year 1505, No. 166, and I have there said that Herbert and Dibdin assign to this the date of 1504, for which I can find no reason whatever in the book itself. Herbert is generally so accurate, that this, with the variations in the title and colophon which he gives, seem to make it just pos- sible that there may be two editions with very slight diiference. He gives " recognitum," for " recognitorum," in the title ; and the colophon thus : — " Inprmted (for Inprj/nted) at London without Temple haxre (bar) in seynt (saynt) Clementes (Cle- ment?) parysshe By (be) me dwellynge at the signe (sygne) of the thre kynges." Herbert was so little likely to make such careless or capricious alterations in copying a colo- phon, that, as I have stated, I think it may possibly be a dif- ferent edition. At the same time it must be observed, that though he puts 1504 in his margin, he does not say how he * Analecta, p. 132, fol. ed. 374 NOTE A A, ON NO. 407. MIR. OF CHURCH. got the date. The work begins on the back of the title, with a letter headed, " C Jodocus Badius Ascensius maioris Bri- tanie iuuenibus cum morum turn virtutum studiosis salutem dicit." In the course of it he says, " Proinde vos anglicanos preceptores in primis laudo, qui non sic litteras colitis vt. religionis obliviscaraini, quocirca vt vestris studiis opituler ad hymnorum expositionem nonnichil cultioris litterature adiicere constitui.

In the notice of this book in the List, I referred to a note, hoping (as in some other cases) that by the time when the note should be wanted, I might have been able to clear up some doubt, or obtain some further information. But, I con- fess, that I do not know much more about the matter now than I did then ; and I think it right to mention the ground of my uncertainty. I have stated that the book before me is imperfect, and therefore I cannot feel certain that it had the colophon which I copy from Dibdin. At the same time, it agrees so nearly with the account given by him (II. 448) and by Herbert (I. 162), that I should have no doubt of its identity but for one thing which I find in Dr. Dibdin's de- scription. He says, " About the middle — in a cut represent- ing our Lord standing and instructing the apostles, who are kneeling before him — ^is the Lord's Prayer in a scroll, which (says Mr. Cole) I here copy as a curiosity." After such an NOTE A A, ON NO. 407. MIE. OF CHURCH. 375 introduction, and when we find the copyist giving us old spelling and contractions, we may naturally suppose that we have something as near a fac-simile as the difference of type will allow ; and if there are such frequent discrepancies as the utmost carelessness or caprice will scarcely account for, we may justly doubt whether we have not got hold of another edition. I will, therefore, reprint Mr. Cole's copy as it stands in Dr. Dibdin's work, and underline it with the words as they stand in the book itself now before me. " Our Fader that arte in Heve sactified be thi Name thy " Our fader that arte in heue sactyfyed be thy name thi Kyngdome come to us, thy wyl be done in erthe as in Heven kigdo come to vs thi wyl be done i erth as I heue our dayly brede gyve us to day and forgyve us our dets as we our daiyl bred gyue vs to daei & forgiue vs our dets as we forgyve our detis and lede us not in to teptacon, but forgiue our dePters* & lede vs not i to tetacon but delyver fro evyl .

It is curious, that on the same page, (that is, in this copy. * This word comes at the end of a line, and is divided between that line and the following one : " de" in the upper line, and " ters" in the lower, are quite plain, but whether the third letter in the upper line was meant for a " t," or for a hyphen, or a contraction, it cannot be represented by any modern type but a note of interrogation. 376 NOTE A A, ON NO. 407, MIR.

I have not the means of giving some of the contractions, but the words are as follows ; and I need hardly say that the italics are of my putting : — " Pater noster qui es in celis. That is to say.

This is the work of which Strype gives the history, in the twelfth chapter of his Life of Archbishop Cranmer, under the name of " The Bishop's Book," I imagine that he had not then seen it, as he says, " It was intituled The Godly and Pious Institution of a Christian Man," an error in which he has been followed by Dr. Dibdin, in his Typ, Ant.^ III. 296, No. 1184. His chronology, too, of the work can hardly be quite accurate, as he tells us that the commission issued 380 NOTE C C, ON NO. 436. INST. OF CH. MAN. for writing the book in 1537, (Collier, II. 139, says it was " composed in Convocation three years before,") and that the bishops " finished by the end of July " — " that the king perused at his leisure and after 5 or 6 months sent it back to the Archbishop, who returned it to Crumwel on the 25 of January." What he did with it we are not told ; but Strype afterwards tells us — " At length this book came forth, printed by Barthelet, in the year 1537." The truth of this is testified by the colophon of each edition ; for it seems as if Berthelet printed three, if we ought not rather to call them four, edi- tions at the least, in that year 1537. Herbert says, " He printed three editions of it this year : two in 4% and one 8™. One of the quartos was printed in the English type, with the title in one of the compartments of boys ; the other in secre- tary, in my collection, but wants the prefixes, beside which it contains 97 leaves. On the back of the last, ' Londini in ^dibus Regii Impressoris, M.D. XXXVII Cum Privilegio.' It must have had another leaf blank or with the cut of his sign." The three copies in the Lambeth Library, which I distin- guish by the letters A, B, and C, are all quarto. A and B are in what Herbert calls " English type"— that is, black letter; and C is in secretary type. A and B are, I believe, so far identical as that they are both impressions from the same letters ; and I apprehend the case to have been, that after the type was set up, and some copies had been printed, the whole was looked over, some corrections and innumerable alterations of spelling and spacing were made, sometimes one or more lines overrun, and this with so much effect, that though I have not observed the introduction of a single word of new matter, B has 31 hues (the last twelve of various lengths, none full) on fol. 97, while A ends with 12 lines of text on the recto of fol. 96. The two books might, therefore, easily pass for NOTE C C, ON NO. 436. INST. OF CH. MAN. 381 copies of different editions ; for if a reader were to compare fol. 80, for instance, in the two, he would find the contents totally different, and that not one line of the matter in one, is to be found in the other. The copy A is remarkably large, and I doubt whether it has ever been more than clipped with shears ; and I put it first, beheving it to be the original of the two. I suppose this because, though most of the innumerable alterations are capricious, or at least matters of taste, yet where there is a right and a wrong, it is almost always in favour of B ; as on the sixth page of the preface, dueties, for duitees ; p. 16, pardons for parpons ; p. 23, surely for surrely ; p. 26, Daniel for Danel; p. 72, Leuiti. for Liui. But what is, perhaps, the strongest proof that B is the alteration of A is, that it seems to have been thought good to remove the bottom line of the reverse of fol. 80, and make it begin fol. 81. This has been done. In A, (where it is the reverse of fol. 79,) the bottom of the page stands — " as be requireth. For surely no prayer is thankful vnto god but that which spryngeth from the harte. And therefore the prophete" In B, the second of these lines has been (as I have stated) carried over to the top of the next page ; but the catchword, " prophete," has been left behind, where, of course, the word " but" should have been substituted. This seems to me deci- sive that B is altered from A, and not A from B. The copy which I have marked C, is the edition in secre- tary type mentioned by Herbert. He is correct in stating that, beside the prefixes, it has 97,Ieaves, and in conjecturing that his copy should have had a blank leaf, which this has. It ap- pears to have been printed from the copy B, with which it agrees almost exactly page for page, notwithstanding the dif- ferent size of the page, which is made up for by the type. In 382 NOTE C C, ON NO. 462. NECES*. DOCTE. the bottom line of the reverse of fol. 80, it has the proper catchwords, " but that ;" and all the places which I have men- tioned as incorrect in A, are set right. It agrees, too, with B, in ending on folio 97, though the same matter is thrown into 30 instead of 31 lines. Herbert adds, that " Mr, Ames mentions ' The Instruction of a christian man by order of King Hen. VIII. mense Octobri. 8™.' Perhaps a misprint for the institution." Herb., I. 428. Dr. Dibdin, III. 297, seems to think that Ames was right, and refers to Maittaire, III. 267. All that I find there, however, is, " The Instruction of a Christen Man : in cedibus ThomcB §• Bertheleti Reffii impressoris. 8. Tuond. 1537." I see nothing of " October," and imagine that it must have been a mistake for the Institution. The natural connexion between this work and the " Neces- sary DoCTErNE AND ERUDITION FOR ANY CHRISTEN MaN," has made me think it better to add here what relates to the copies of that work, which will be found at No. 462, et seq., under the year 1543. There are six copies of this book, which I distinguish by the first six letters of the alphabet. (A) 4. 6. 25. 8'° (B) 40. 4. 1. (C) 28. 1. 13. 8' (D) A. 4. 29. (E) 31. 9. 12. 8' (F) 31. 9. 13. 8™ 8™, by John Mayler 4'°, by Berthelet, 1543. 8™, by Berthelet. With regard to A and B, I see no difference in the title- page, except in the flower under the " &c.," about the middle of the page, and in "reioyse" for "reioice," though some of the letters are not identical ; and none at all in the colophon. But even on the reverse of the title, a system of alteration like NOTE C C, ON NO. 462. NECES. DOCTR. 383 that observed in the "Institution" begins. The heading of the little table of contents is in a wholly different type (in A, black letter ; in B, roman); and in the table itself, " faith" and " almighty" of A, are spelled " fayth" and " almyghty" in B, and " crede" is in roman instead of black letter. There are, then, I beUeve, throughout the two books, almost innumerable variations, a great part of them apparently indifferent or merely capricious; such as in signature 33 U lines 5, 8, 21, where A has " fyrst," and " fayth," and " marveylous," B has " first," and " faith," and " marvaylous." I suppose that every page would supply several instances of this sort. Indeed, at the top of every page (except in the four leaves of signature ^,) the headUne is in a different type. But where there is any im- provement, it is almost always in favour of B. Indeed, I have only observed one instance in which there is a misprint in B which is not in A : in sig. ft, f, b, the bottom line, it has " dieases" where A has " diseases." Perhaps " profitable," in line 9 of t, 5, 6, may be another example ; but the balance is quite the other way. For instance : ffli. b. line 7 artitle article — ((. b. — 4 hewas he was Hi bottom (Christen men do( . . .

NECES. DOCTR. These instances, observed in a very cursory comparison, seem sufficient to prove that B was the correction of A. I have said that the sheet ^, unlike all the others, retains the headhne of A ; but there are other points in which it varies as the other sheets do ; and, in fact, I believe there is no one page in A which entirely agrees with the corresponding page of B. Now as to the copy C. It appears to me that up to and in- cluding the sheet gj it agrees with B. Then sheet jff is from A. After this it agrees with B up to and including sheet |g. Then in the five remaining sheets, a, t, C, tj, t, it agrees with A. I do not see that in any place it diifers from both. What is more worthy of observation is, that all the varieties seem to be purely technical, and I have not observed that a word has been changed except as a misprint. The three foregoing editions are in quarto. D and E, which are by the same printer, are in octavo. The title-page of both appears to be the same, and is in both in a small archi- tective compartment, bearing on its sell the date of 1534. I need hardly say that this is not the date of the book, which is the same as that of the quarto edition ; at least so it stands in the colophon of D, but E having (as I have said) lost the last four pages, I cannot speak positively ; though I have no doubt that precisely the same relation exists between the octavos D and E, as between the quartos A and B, and the alterations which I have observed in a partial and cursory comparison lead me to believe that E is the correction of D. In both one singular misprint occurs on 3$ U b, immediately under the very conspicuous initial letter; "who so euer wylcon not stantly beleue." But the capricious, or at least indifferent, alterations seem to be here as plentiful as in the quarto editions, though not, I think, equally in all parts. Perhaps the differ- ences and the nature of the alteration made in the arrrange- NOTE D D, ON NO. 455. EDW. VI. GRAM. 385 ment of the type, before the latter impression was taken, may be best understood by a specimen : " is the bonde is the bond and and knot, wherewith our sauionr lE- knotte, wherewith our sauiour lESVS SVS CHRISTE, and hys mooste CHRISTE and his mooste deere dere espouse the churche (whyche is espowse the churche (whyche is alsoo also his mystical body) be vnited, knit, his mysticall body) be vnyted, knytte, and conioyned togyther in suche per- and conioyned togyther in suche per- Sig.

Edward VIth's Grammar. Herbert has described an " Alphabetum Latino Angli- cum," printed by Berthelet, as containing " several alphabets of different sized letters, which fill up the first page. Then, ' In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti Amen.' Then the same in English ; the Lord's Prayer in Latin and English ; the Creed and Ten Commandments, &c. Also, ' An Introduc- tion to the eight parts of speech, and the construction of the same, compiled and sette forthe by the commandement of our most gracious souerayne lorde the kyng, anno 1543.' This book has the following order : ' Henry the VIII. by the grace of God kyng of England.' .... To this is added, ' Institutio,' " &c., and then he gives the title of the book before me precisely; 3d 386 NOTE D D, ON NO. 455. EDW. VI. GRAM. as I have given it at p. 207. He proceeds to say, " The first part has 41 leaves, not numbered, the last 80, and at the end, ' Londini anno M . D . XLIL' A copy printed on vellum, and curiously illuminated, was in the possession of Mr. Henry Newcom. Quarto." — Vol. I. p. 442. The volume before me so far agrees with this, that it is printed on vellum, and curiously illuminated; but then the colophon and the title are as I have given them, and the date in both is most certainly and plainly M.D.XL., and not M.D.XLH. The leaves numbered are, as in Herbert's, 80, but they begin on the signature B, and are preceded by six unnumbered leaves, bearing the signature A. The twelve pages of these four leaves I will describe : 1. Is the title as I have given it, in a compartment of boys, climbing on the sides, and at the bottom a party carrying one on a pole. It is illuminated ; the ground painted blue, the ar- chitective part, the children's hair, and some flowers &c., gold. 2. Blank. 3. Begins an address, which I will extract presently, headed " Totius AngUse Ludimagistris." The capital R with which it begins is illuminated. 4. 5, 6. The address is continued. The last not full. 7. Is headed " Ad Lectorem. KyxuiJ.iov row ^a.ai\eo(r ;" which I will also extract. 8. The verses continued, not quite filling it. 9. Blank, as it regards printing ; but nearly covered by an illumination, consisting of a frame almost 5^ inches high by about 4 inches in width, containing a circle of about 2 inches diameter, with large golden rays issuing from its circumference. In the interior of this circle are the Prince of Wales's feathers passing through a coronet, and with their label and motto beneath. The ground of this interior is ^arty per pale azure NOTE DD, ON NO. 455. EDW. VT. GRAM. 387 and gules, and in the space on the dexter side is a golden E, while in the corresponding space on the other side is a similar P. But that the book is not commonly accessible, I might have written more briefly and intelligibly by saying that it is in colours, the same device that stands in print on the reverse of the title of Leland's Genethliacon, No. 460. It is on the ground of this device that I suppose the book to have been prepared for Edward VI., who must have been in his third or fourth year when it was printed. 10. Begins a Ust of " Errata insigniora." 11. The list continues about halfway. 12. Blank. This may, therefore, be substantially the book which Her- bert describes, but with some alteration in the colophon. It is to be observed that the colophon is printed on the reverse of leaf 80, the recto of which is occupied by the conclusion of the work; and it is, perhaps, worth while to mention, that while I can find no account of Berthelet's having printed the book, or any such book, or any book with that colophon, in the year 1540, I have found (used as end-papers by a book- binder, for a volume of 1539, with which they have no con- nexion,) two leaves, each containing the colophon as it stands in the Prince's vellum copy, and nothing else. It is, of course, likely enough, that when a printer had been at the trouble of making up such a colophon into a page he should set it aside as what would be equally suitable for any book printed in that year ; but, as I have said, I cannot find that Berthelet did this ; and the phraseology of the colophon is very peculiar. Dr. Dibdin has given the titles of more than a hundred books, and the colophons of a great many, printed by Berthelet between 1530 and 1540, and it does not appear that one of them has the phrase " ex officina Thomse Bertheleti," but 388 NOTE DD, ON NO. 455. EDW. VI.GRAM. either "excusit," or "excudebat," or most commonly "ex sedibus." Indeed, according to Dr. Dibdin's account, it seems that there is only one book which approaches that phrase, which is the " Academiarum Censurse," one of his earUest books, printed in 1530, as the colophon states. " In officina Impressoris regii." — Dibdin, III. 276. I am induced to mention this the rather because of a notice in Herbert, I. 438, reprinted by Dibdin, III. 312, « 'De octo orationis partium constructione Libellus seditus a Guil. Lilio, emendatus ab Erasmo Roter : et scholiis, non solum Henrici Primaei, verum etiam, doctissimis, Leonar: Coxi illustratus. Anno M. D. XL.' At the end, ' Ex ofEcina regii Jmpres- soris. Cum priuilegio solum. Anno M.D.XL.' In the collection of Dr. Lort." Here is something like an approxima- tion to the peculiar language of the colophon; but, unfor- tunately, not only the title is obviously discrepant, but the book itself is substantially different. It is clear that the book before me is not the work of William Lily ; though he is quoted, and his immortal " Propria que maribus" and " As in prsesenti" are given with due acknowledgment. The address to schoolmasters, and the encomiastic verses on the king, are as follows : — " ToTivs Angliae Lvdimagistkis AC Grammaticae Prae- CEPTORIBVS.

Tins ought to be among the fragments, but it was only accidentally met with since they were printed. The reverse of the title-page is entirely filled by an address from the King to all the schoolmasters in his realm, directing " that this one kynd of grammar, printed by our well beloued subiect Reynold Wolfe, our printer of Latin, Greke, and Hebrue, shuld be openly and priuately redde to al kynd of lemers in euery grammar schole, and other places of techyng, and the same and none other to bee vsed." The next (that is the third) page is headed, " To the Reader," and begins, " To exhort every man to the learning of gram- roar that intendeth to atteyn to the vnderstandyng of the tungues (wherein is conteyned a great tresor of wysedome and knowledge) it shoulde seme muche vayne," &c. ; and this address continues to the middle of the seventh page, the lower half of which is blank. The eighth page contains the epigram and prayer following : — ADDENDA. 427 " StDDIUM GBAMMATICE8 OMNI- bus esse necessarimu.

Herbert gives this book as printed by Day, both in 1548 and 1549. His ac- count of that in 1549, (I. 621,) is professedly made from a copy in his own collection, and, therefore, I presume, the date must be right. In every other point -which he specifies, this copy exactly agrees. The edition of 1548, (III. 618,) he gives from Maunsell. Dibdin, IV. 51, No. 1868 ; and 56, No. 1880. 488*.

This title differs somewhat in words from that given by Herbert, I. 524 ; but still more in ornaments, as there is no picture of the King, or any of the things which he mentions ; and the whole of the upper and lower parts of the border are composed of four cuts of the Evangelists. It will be seen, too, that the colophon differs, as well as the number of leaves. 489*. An acte concerning the Kinges moost gratiovs general! pardon."

After this are four leaves, headed, " De quatuor in quibus incipientes deo seruire debent esse cauti si proficere volunt." On the fourth leaf is this colophon, "Impressum Colonic apud Lijskyrchen." 16°, contains pp (beginning with aa) in eights, the last, and reverse of preced- ing, blank, goth. xxiv. 9. 25. 8™. (3) Archbishop Whitgift's arms are on the li|ttle thick Tolume which contains these tracts, and it seems as if the name, " Robert! Parker," had been erased from the fly-leaf at the end. Panzer, I. 344, No. *504, *505, gives them in a different order, making what are here the first and third, into one, the title of 430 ADDENDA. which begins as Horologium. He was avowedly following the Bolongaro- Crevenna Cat., I. p. 184, where, however, the title is correctly given, and though the three tracts are given in the same order as by him, yet they are not confounded. This difference of arrangement, together with their having dis- tinct signatures and blank leaves, seems to shew that they should be treated as distinct works, though they are uniformly printed. The Bolongaro-Crevenna catalogue says of the tract " De vita," which it places third, " Sine anno, loco et typog. (sed Colonise per eundem Lyskyrchen, circa 1482.)" 138 d. Incipit tabula secundum ordinem alphabet! in Vitas Philosophorum iuxta capitulum demonstrans virtutes et vicia in eisdem signata."

This title is over a woodcut nearly 9 inches high, and about 6^ wide, the chief features of which are S. Denis and S. Remy standing on each side of a column, labelled " Justicia " and " Fides," and sup- porting the royal arms of France crowned ; on each side, six shields, bearing respectively the arms of Reims, Langres, Laon, Beauvg,is, Chalon, Noyon, Burgundy, Normandy, Gyenne, Champagne, Thoulouse, and Flanders. No colophon ; but on the reverse of the last leaf the woodcut of the title-page repeated. Large quarto, sixes, 45 long lines, fol. numb. CLXix, followed by four not numbered, marginal notes, rom. I cannot identify this with any of the editions which I find described. I am apprehensiye that some leaves are wanting after the title-page, on the reverse of which are Latin verses. Then, in this copy, immediately follows " Fo. I." with the signature a, and headed " In compendium de gestis francorum prse- fatio." I do not know what should have intervened, but there is an appearance of the remains of leaves. 406 b. DiCTiONARius Pauperum." The title as given before. No. 85 ; but here it is over the device of Durand Gerlier. The colophon is, " Impressa est hec summa opera Johannis seiu:re al's de pica : in artibus magistri necnon sumptibus proborum bibliopolarum Magistri durandi gerlier. et Francisci regnault."

On the title is written, " Liber R. nuper abbatis Winchelcobesis " — that is, Richard Ancelme, who subscribed' the supremacy in 1534. This may be the edition mentioned by Panzer, as printed at Paris, without date, IL 349, No. 738. He gives one as printed by Regnault in 1512, at VIL 567, No. 569. 432 ADDENDA. 406 c.

The two were printed in the same way by Wynkyn de Worde, according to Herbert, I. 218 j Dibdin, II. 344. In reference to what is there stated, I may mention, that this volume is what would in the present day be called a duodecimo, in respect of size ; yet it is very " square," and, consisting of eights, it is an " octavo." The dimensions of the letter-press are about 4 inches high, (not including the head- line,) and 2f wide. 406 e.

The colophon is precisely the same as the title, except that " finit feliciter" is substituted for Addenda. 433 " feliciter incipit."

But the printer's device is on the title-page, not at the end, where the sheet has its fall number of eight leaves, the colophon being low down on the reverse of the eighth. Every particular in the descrip- tion of the other edition, (No. 297*, p. 413,) applies equally to this one, except that the misprint in the foliation does not exist. It seems evident that one of these editions was printed from the other, but as only one has a date, it is im- possible to say which was the first. The correction of some errors in this one, (such as the foliation just mentioned, vti for vel, at the end of fol. xiiii.) lead me to suppose that this was the later of the two. At the same time, whichever was the corrected one, it has retained a singular misprint of a large gothic. initial which begins the xix chapter, " De eeclesia et heresibus," fol. xvii. Instead of " Gemina est ecclesie pulchritude," both read " Femina." 406^. Liber quattuor novissimortjm." This is the whole title, over the device of J. Petit.

The authors from whose ■works extracts are given are — Bemechobus, the Sibyll, S. Augnstine, S. Se- verus, Jo. Lichtensteyn, (his Pronosticatio, already described. No. 42,) and others ; and at the reverse of fol. Ixii begins a " Revelatio de tribulationibus nostrorum temporum de reformatione vniuerse dei ecclesie : auctore deo et de conversione turcorum et infidelium ad fidem nostram cito et velociter ostensa. Florentie Hieronymo de ferraria, hoc tempore viuenti Seruo iesu xpi minimo." How far this is a genuine work of Jerome Savonarola, I do not pretend to decide, but it seems to have been the part of the work most interesting to some former possessor, (for the leaves immediately preceding it, having escaped the binder, have never yet been cut open,) one or two of whose manuscript notes are worth transcribing. In a little preface or address to the book, purporting to be written by " Hieronymus beniuenius ciuis florentinus accepte veritati fidelis adstipulator," the author speaks of Savonarola, and the owner of the book has written in the margin, " Vir Uteris et probitate clarus et hie si obiit regnat." On the bottom margin of the next page, he has written " Scio hunc sanctum faisse prophetam et gloria setema frui." On the next page, " Iota unum vel apex unus non preteribit donee fiant omnia quse prsedixit." Again, on the next but one, " Inique egi qui sanctum hunc virum merita laude fraudavi nam cum sciam xiiij annos abhinc hunc cam illis duobus eius confratribus una crematis, esse cum christo, tacui ; sed incredulitas aliorum et imprudentia mea fuere in causa.

Along the side margin of the same page he has written, " Mirabilis Dominus in Sanctis suis quorum sanguinem cito ulciscetur." There are several other note^ which do not seem worth copying, but along the side of fol. Ixvij is written, " Die vij nouembris 1531 Londini," which of course agrees with the fourteen years before mentioned. One of the most singular circumstances about the book is, that at the foot of the title-page there is the following note, in the same handwriting : " Hie liber est serenissimi Regis Henrici viij fidei defensoris et in orbe christiano Regnm omnium exceUentissimi." Whether this means that the book belonged to the King as owner or as author, I do not know ; nor have I been able as yet to discover moire respecting the writer of the note, than what I accidentally found in a copy of the Commentary on the Psalms, which Bucer published under the name of Aretius Felinus, in 1529, (xx. 4. 16. 8™.) In the same remarkable handwriting, there is this inscription over the title, " + 1531. viij Die Decem- ADDENDA. 437 bris Londini in festo Conceptionis beatje MarisB. Luna abscondita ;" and at the foot of the page, under the title is, "Petri debardis est hoc sanctum psalterium.'' The handwriting of some marginal notes seems as if the book had subsequently belonged to Thomas Wakfeld. To return, however, to the Liber Mirabilis, it should perhaps be stated, that it is in old stamped covers, bearing on one side a device of St. Sebastian and two archers, and on the other St. Michael slaying the Dragon. Each is in a border, including which, the whole stamp is about 3^ inches wide, and about 5 inches high ; the base of the border bears the name " GiuU. Boudart." The Silver Lion was the sign of John Petit. 406 o. Sequuntur quattuor sermones comunes per aduen- tum : et consequenter dominicales sermones nondum impress! Reuerendi patris fratris Oliuerii Mallardi : quondam vicarii generalis ministri super fratres minores de obseruantia citra- montan." This is over the device of Jehan Petit; under which is, " Venundantur parisii in vico sancti Jacobi ad inter- signium Lilii in domo Joannis parui." In the colophon is, "Industria quidem Joannis barbier impressoris famosissimi.

Panzer, VII. 261, No. 29, gives this book under the year 1516, referring to Von der Hardt, by whom it is assigned to 1517. I presume that each exercised his own judgment on the date of the letter of Petrus Egidius, prefixed ; the one resting satisfied with the " m.d.xvi," and the other calculating that if the letter was rightly dated " Cal. Nouembris" of that year, the book was probably not printed until the beginning of the next. It is in this way that imaginary editions are brought into existence, and endless confusion is produced. The book is, to all bibliographical intents and purposes, an undated one, and should be treated as such. 186|1.

This is the head-title of the first col. on the sig. a ij, a title-page being, I suppose, wanting. After the Advent Sermons (on the reverse of p iiii) is this colophon, " Finis fructuosorum sermonum de adventu precellentes verbi diuini preconis fratris Oliuerij Maillardi ordinis minorum obseruanlissimi Parisius in sancto Johane de grauia proclamati anno domini 1494. accu- ADDENDA. 439 ratissime post primam aut secundam impressionem scriptoribus viciatam per quendam familiarem dicti preconis socium iuxta verum exemplar ad petitionem plurimorum emendatorum im- pensis vero Johannis petit parisien . bibliopole.

(2) After this, should come, I suppose, to fulfil the promise of the title, the Opus QuADRAGESiMAiE, already described, (No. 186,) and which does form apart of the same volume. But, instead of that, (which consists of sermons preached at Nantes,) these Advent sermons are followed by a different Opus Quadraqesi- MAXE, preached at Paris, and not printed until 1508, under which year it will be found among these addenda. The sermons of this writer, which were extremely popular, seem to have been printed in various small collections — ^with great uniformity of appearance — for distinct publication, and to have been so divided and intermixed by those who collected and bound them, that I have been a good deal puzzled by them, and do not feel sure that I described all of them quite correctly. I have discovered them at different times, and I hardly need observe, that this, instead of being among the undated books, should have been among those of the year 1506. [ThefoUowing belong to the English books. Part m., Section II., p. 228.] 522 a. C A ciuiLE nosgay wherin is contayned not onelye the ofiyce and dewty of all magestrates and Judges but also of of {sic) all subiectes with a preface concernynge the lyberty of Justice in this our tyme newly collected and gethered out of latyn and so translated in to the Inglyshe tonge by .J. G." This is the whole title ; the colophon is, " C Thus endeth the ciuill nosgaye. C Imprynted by me Robart Wyer for Ihon goodale." 12° size, containing E 4 in eights, bl. let., except 10^ pages of preface and contents, in secretary type. xxx. 9. 4. 8™ Archbishop Bancroft's initials.

Lady Fortune : flaterynge euery man that coueyteth to haue all, and specyally them that truste in her she deceyueth them at laste." This title, over a square cut of a female figure, with « The Lady" on one side and « Fortune" on the other, in large black letter. The colophon is, " C Imprynte by me Robert Wyer dwellyng, in Saynt Martyns parysse, in the Duke of SufFolks rentes, beside Charynge Crosse. Ad imprimendum solum." 12° size, eight leaves, A and B each four, secretary type XXX. 8. 14. 8™. (3) Archbishop Bancroft's initials. I do not find any mention of this in Herbert or Dibdin. The former has observed, that Robert Wyer " printed some books very neatly ; but some so vilely, that they were fit only for the ballad stalls." — I. 369. This decidedly belongs to the latter class. The principal part consists of Sir Thomas More's verses, as they stand in his works ; but these are preceded and followed by some matters which I do not find there. On the back of the title are three stanzas, which, as they are here ascribed to Sir T. More, and do not, as far as I know, exist anywhere else, I will insert : — " ffr The Prologue.
