It has never been fully described. First registered by Weigel & Zestermann, No. 242 (II. 45-49), that copy then consisting only of 8 leaves (out of 14), the title-page being then un- known. Possibly the same ed. as the Breslau copy registered by Schreiber 3375, which also lacks the title. The present example contains the title-leaf and cut (on verso).

Very rare. The only edition and the only book from this press. This press was unknown to Proctor when his Index was first published, but a note of its existence was made in his 2nd Suppt. (1900) p. 16 (p. 265) from this copy. As noted by the late Mr. George Dunn to whom this copy then belonged, " Perhaps the last book handled by poor R.P. late in his last afternoon at the B.M." The text type is said also to be indistinguishable from Venice press LXXV type 7 [G. Arrivabenus] . Since that time only two other copies of this hitherto unknown book have been registered, one by Reichling I. No. no (in a bookseller's hands) and another by Pellechet 3333 (Arsenal wanting fol. i).

Kristeller 252 (device). The types and device of this press (placed by Proctor as press 123) are the same as used by Paganinus de Paganinis (press 95). This is remarked by Proctor, but he does not point out that the books with the name of Hieronymus de P. fall into two sections which fill gaps in the chronology of P. de P.'s press, viz., 5 books, 7 Sept. 1492 to 8 Nov. 1493 and one 7 Sept. 1497.

Contains Joh. de Sacrobosco with the three commentaries as above, and Geo. Purbachius with the commentary of Capuanus.

The cuts are apparently the blocks from the ed. by G. de Tridino 1491. It was this commentary by Cecco d'Ascoli [Francesco de Stabili] that caused him to be charged before the Inquisition with heresy, only escaping punishment by re- cantation. It does not appear in the 1508 ed. (No. 860) probably for this reason, but is found in the 1518 ed.

The above was no doubt really issued some years after the first ed., as the folios are numbered, the anchor device is the block [No. 2] first appearing in 1512 (see No. 1061), and as the name of the father-in-law of Aldus is mentioned in the colophon, for his name does not appear in the Aldine books before Nov. 1508. He had, however, a press of his own much earlier (see Nos. 769-74, &c. Renouard I. p. 70. Brunet III. 629. Name of early owner : Joannes Bapta. Moronus (? Moroni the painter, d. 1578).

Has the anchor device [No. i a] on verso of last leaf, in some copies this page being blank. It is usually stated, evidently on the authority of Renouard, that this is the first book in which the Aldine anchor appears. This is true with regard to its 2nd state, but as noted to No. 1032 above, its earliest appearance in first or complete state is in the Sedulius, finished by June 1502, there appearing with its border-lines. The Dante however is the first 8vo. with the device, the Sedulius being a 4to. These facts seem to have been overlooked by bibliographers.

The Appendix " De literis graecis" has signatures m n8 (like No. 1036 but is not the same ed.) plus 4 leaves unsigned for the Hebrew portion.

Apparently the same as the 3rd ed. (No. 1059) but without the Greek interleaving, which this copy moreover never contained as is proved by the intact original binding. The Appendix is here, but the signatures are aabb8 plus 4 unsigned leaves for the Hebrew, thus differing from those in No. 1059 but possibly agreeing with those in the early undated ed. and the 1508 ed. of Aldus's Grammar, Apparently the earlier impressions of this piece are often found bound in later eds. of Lascaris, and on this point the Register at the end of the volume [in the 1512 ed. at least] gives no in- dication (as to signatures, &c.) no quires being mentioned between n and x. It is evident, as remarked above, that nothing has been added or subtracted from the volume. The misprinted signature Ciiii (for h4) has been corrected by the same pen as in No. 1059 showing it to have probably been done in the printing office. 126 J. & J.

The binding is somewhat similar to that on No. 1051, supposed to have the same ornaments as those books bound for Louis XII of France. This volume however has still more interest, for on the last page is written the name of the original owner: "Jo. Pennands." This person, of whose nationality we are hitherto uncertain, was a close friend of Henry Parker, 8th baron Morley (1476- 1556), gentleman-usher to Henry VIII. This is demonstrated by No. 6739 in our General Catalogue, a copy of the 1493 Dante in a John Reynes binding, which has an inscription in the hand of Pennandus, presenting that volume to Lord Morley in the year 1520. Another signature in the present book (probably next in point of date) is "Thomas Darbiscens " (" Darbyshyre " under lining of end cover), no doubt the prebendary of S. Paul's cathedral 1543, chancellor of the dioce.se of London, Jesuit at Rome 1563, who d. 1604 (see D.N.B.) The next names in probable order of date are Jo.

On last page of each vol. is written " Legi anno 1596 O. Heurnius lo. fil." This is evidently the eminent Dutch phy- sician and author Otho van Heurn (1577-c. 1648), son of Jan v. H.

Essling 689. Ongania 84-6 (reduced). Not in Brunet or Suppt., or Perrins Catal. Second ed. by these printers (or publishers) with the same cuts as the ist of 1505, but with additions. I50 J. & J. LEIGHTON, [ITALY. The first difference one notices between the titles of the two editions is that one (presumably 1505) is entirely in roman letters and the other is in gothic (1518), though — apart from different arrangement — the enclosing woodcut is the same in both. It is to be remarked that the copy at St. Mark's, Venice, described by Essling No. 689, has the roman title " Legenda | rio . . " while the 2nd copy cited (as we have as- certained from another source) as well as the present one, has the gothic lettering (see above). Reprods. of the titles are given as follows : roman, Ongania II. 83 St. Mark's copy, called the 1518 ed. ; and gothic, Essling II. p. 136 (reduced) there called the 1505 ed. (No. 683). Mr. Perrins's copy of the 1505 ed. has the roman title, but attention is not called in that Catal. to the discrepancy of EssHng. To sum up : there seems to be no doubt that the Perrins copy (1505) is genuine throughout as are also the present one (1518) and the 2nd copy of it cited by Essling — if so, the titles given by Essling are wrong and must be interchanged. It seems also that the S. Mark's copy has, besides the title, other leaves that are taken from the earlier ed. Further, the pages reproduced by Esslmg II. p. 137-9 (reduced), pur- porting to be from the 1505 ed. correspond exactly as regards type and cuts with those in the ed. of 1518, Needless to say that the collation and colophons of each edition differ from each other, though in other respects they have a close resem- blance ; even many of the cuts are found on pages which have the same number in both. It is of interest to note that in the 1505 ed. the publishers' names are given as "Nic. & Dom. de Sandro," while in the 1518 ed. this surname is omitted, in the place of it being " dal lesus." This fact, curiously, has escaped Kristeller (devices 234-5) who was at a loss to explain the initial S found in the devices used by this press (N.D.F.S. = Nic. & Dom. fratelli [Sandro]). In the Perrins catalogue, too, the identity of the two names has not been noted, the Voragine 1505 being indexed (among printers) under "Sandro," and No. 207, Corvo 1513 under "Jesus." One of the most handsome and profusely illustrated books of the period and very unusual in style. There are many full-page borders, which, when repeated, are varied in the design by the insertion of small blocks in circles changed for the different impressions. Above 60 cuts in borders, each occupying two-thirds of a page, and numerous smaller ones, besides ornamental initials. Several of the cuts are new ones not used in the former edition, one being signed O or G (? ? Giov. Andrea Vavassore). On verso of title is the large device yf^S 155 x 155, in red, not given by Kristeller, though resembling his No. 236 : two different replicas in small occur in other parts (not in Krist.) The N.D.F.S. device is at end (Krist. 235) and at least two smaller versions elsewhere (not in Krist.) The dolphin border at end, 271 x 175 (inside 180 X 106) may give a clue to the actual printer if identified : it resembles those used by Zoppino, Ruscone, F. di Leno, Vitali, Tacuino, but differs from all in detail : cf. Ongania II. 95. It might be mentioned that a copy wanting 2 leaves and with one defective was recently priced ^63, and that a copy of the 1505 ed. said to be badly coloured, sold for £110. Another copy of the same ed. also coloured was recently priced loooo fr. (;^40o). The period of this. press was probably 1501-21. 1219 PLUTARCHUS. Vitae virorum illustrium.

The other cuts are said to be after the designs of Marcolini : several are in style similar to those in his Dante (No. 1367), but others may be by other hands:, some of them, in the Diogenes Laertius are attributed to Salviati. 174 J. & J.

A very remarkable and ornate specimen of i6th century English binding in first- class condition. Apparently the first Venice edition, hitherto unknown. The earliest mentioned by Brunet, and Huth's Bibliography of Works on Horses, &c. is that of 1552, by the same printer. Brunet remarks that the 1552 ed. was the earliest known : but it seems that the book was originally published at Naples 1550. The author (whose name is spelt Grisoni only on the title, and elsewhere Grisone) de- dicates his work to Ippolito d'Este, cardinal, Ac. (1509-72). It seems very probable, for several reasons, that the above volume was bound by Thomas Berthelet for the Earl of Leicester. So far as is known Berthelet was the only binder then working in this style in England : he seems to have worked largely for Leicester, as many of the bindings with the latter's badge, &c. have Berthelet's characteristics in style, leather and tooling. Then again Leicester no doubt had a collection of works on Hippology, as he was made Master of the Horse, 11 Jan. 1558-9, and is addressed as such by Blundeville in 1565, referring also to the earl's famous " Rider " Claudio Corte, who was likewise a writer on Horses. See the description (No. 1388 pres. catal.) of a copy of the first ed. of Corte's work, evidently bound for Leicester. It seems very evident that books in the Italian language formed a considerable part of the Earl's library, which was a large and fine one, but little is known of it. The library was dispersed after the death of the noble owner. It may be noted that Blundeville translated Grisone's work into English, which was printed by W, Seres, c. 1580. 1378 ARIOSTO (Lodov.)

Apparently the first edition and rare : the earliest mentioned by Huth in his biblio- graphy is that of Marseilles, 1573. A very interesting copy, undoubtedly having been first bound for Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester. The title bears the signature of " Wm. Pvkerynge, 1565," and below, the inscription in the same hand : " II dono del illustrissmo. Sigor- Conte de Lecestre " ; below which is the signature "William Cavendysshe," (with neat corrections in his hand). On the opposite fly-leaf is the following inscription ; " Al molto valoroso e cortesissimo Cavaliero il Sigor. Carolo Cavendischio peritissimo ITALY.] 40, BREV/ER ST., REGENT ST., W. 177 neir arte di Cavalcare, Thomaso Blondevillo manda questo libro vio. Tanuarii 1583." By means of these inscriptions, the history of the volume may be read as follows. Three years after publication and one year after he was created Earl, namely in 1565, Leicester gave the volume to Sir William Pickering (1516-75) the courtier, ambassador, &c., who from 1559 till his death in Jan. 1574-5 was living in England : " was seriously thought of as a suitor for Elizabeth's hand " : was appointed one of the lieutenants of London 1569. " He requested that his library should not be dis- persed, but go to whoever married his illegitimate daughter Hester." She married Sir Edward Wotton (1548-1626) [in Sept. 1575, according to one account] who was the son of Thomas Wotton (1521-87) [the famous bibliophile, known as the English Grolier on account of the fine bindings done for him] and half-brother to Sir Henry Wotton (1568-1639). Supposing the book to have thus descended to Sir Edward, its history is thus brought into touch with Sir Henry who, on his diplomatic travels, was accompanied c. 1610-12 by William Cavendish and his brother Charles. How the book came into the possession of Thomas Blundeville, the famous writer on Horsemanship, &c. (fl. 1561-1602) does not appear, but one may provide the missing link by supposing that it was given him by one of the Wottons. As a teacher of horsemanship and general accomplishments to "young gentlemen" his presentation of the book to Sir Charles Cavendish, no doubt also one of his patrons, was, at least, appropriate. Sir Charles was the third and youngest son of Sir William Cavendish (15059-57), statesman [brother of George the author of the " Life of Wolsey] and of his third wife Elizabeth ("Bess of Hardwick"). Charles was born 28 Nov. 1554, knighted 1582 (the year before the above book was presented to him) and died 1617. Collins (Families of Cavendish, S'C. 1752, p. 20-21) remarks that he is not found as returned to Parliament in the reign of James I " and, it is probable, being an indulgent father he was altogether intent on the affairs of his family, and the education of his sons, making them masters of whatever their genius led them to, particularly in the Art of Horsemanship and Weapons, wherein he was reputed to be the greatest master of the age." The last signature to be mentioned is undoubtedly that of the William Cavendish (1592-1672) who was the son of Sir Charles (1554-1617) just mentioned. William's brother was the Sir Charles (i 591-1654) referred to above as accompanying Sir Henry Wotton abroad, and well known as a mathematician. There is no doubt that the present book was given to William by his father some time between 1583 and 1617 or bequeathed on his death in the latter year. William was knighted in 1610 : created earl of Newcastle 1628 : famous for his magnificent entertainments to the king : appointed governor of the Prince of Wales (Charles II) and " succeeded in making his pupil an accomplished horseman." In 1657 he published the first of his two great works on horses " La Methode et Invention Nouvelle de dresser les Chevaux " : the second work was published 1667. He was also author of numerous plays and poems. Ben Jonson wrote "besides the two masques .. for his enter- tainments, elegies to celebrate the duke's riding and fencing," &c. Curiously there is also a connecting link between Blundeville, the earl of Leicester and the author of this book, viz., in the former's "Power Chiefyst Offices belongyng to Horsemanshippe " (1565-6), the dedication of which is to Leicester (as were several of B.'s works), in which one learns that other matters not contained therein " shall be taught hereafter in another little Booke of Additions, which I intend God willing, to ioine to this volume, briefly comprehending all the precepts of a later writer, now being your Honors most excellent Rider, called maister Claudio Corte . . which Booke shall supply to all the wants of such necessarie things, as either Grison in his Booke, or I perhaps have negligently omitted. And truely, your Honour deserueth no little praise for procuring so singular a man into this realme : for besides his perfection in Riding, he is so well learned, wise, courteous, and modest withall, as his acquaintance, companie, and friendshippe ought to bee right deare unto al ciuil Gentlemen, and specially to those that delight in horsmanship." Corte's book was translated by T. Bedingfield and printed by H. Denham, 1584. Grisone's book was translated by Blundeville and printed by W. Seres [1580] : see a copy of the original edition which may also have been bound for Leicester (No. 1377). 1389 POLE (Reginald) cardinal.

The type and initials (see also No. 1459) seem to be the same as used in No. 1458, which fact points to the material having belonged to the Brigittine house at Rome as publishers and not to the actual printers.

A rare and valuable book, both on account of its being an early specimen of Italian poetry and as the earliest Atlas of the Mediterranean. The first printed maps of which it is expressely stated that they are founded on actual measurements, see Nordenskiold p. 36. The author informs us that he was a Venetian " patrone in nave," so that there is no doubt his descriptions are from first-hand observation, (see fol. 3a). The date of this book should be before 1485, as the elaborate crypto- gram at the beginning gives the name of the then reigning Doge (Giovanni Mocenigo), whose period was from 1477 to 1485. In another way the numbers derived from the same words when added or subtracted produce 485 or 1485.
