A. FELLOW OF BRASENOSE COLLEGE, OXFORD Oxford AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1895 Oxford PRINTED AT THE CLARENDON PRESS BY HORACE HART, PRINTER TO THE UNIVERSITY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PREFACE The present work was undertaken early in 1889, and is an attempt to describe in detail the products and working of the Oxford Press in its early days. Though eclipsed by the glories of the later University Press, the first period, included in this book, has a natural importance of its own. The Fifteenth and early Sixteenth Century presses[1] are necessarily of interest, and when printing became firmly established in 1585 it began to reflect faithfully the current tendencies of thought and study in the University. Theology is predominant, animated on its controversial side with fierce opposition to the Church of Rome, but the quieter fields of classical work are well represented, and side by side is seen an increasing study of English literature. Of lighter books there are few, and of chapbooks perhaps only one (1603, no. 5). The most important works produced at Oxford between 1585 and 1640 were Richard de Bury’s Philobiblon (1599), Wycliff’s treatises (1608), capt. John Smith’s Map of Virginia (1612), Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy (1621, &c.), Field on the Church (1628, &c.), Sandys’ translations of Ovid’s Metamorphoses (1633), the University Statutes (1634), Chaucer’s Troilus and Cressida in English and Latin (1635), Chillingworth’s Religion of Protestants (1638), and Bacon’s Advancement and Proficience of Learning, in English (1640: see frontispiece). There are of course many books on logic, philosophy and the like, intended for the University curriculum, and many collections of the rhetorical poems by which the University was expected to condole or rejoice with every change in the royal estate. 180 pages of mechanical grief at Elizabeth’s death in 1603 are at once followed by 200 pages of equally mechanical congratulations to James I: and the metrical tears dropped in turn on the grave of the latter monarch in March 1625, are in May succeeded with indecorous haste by songs of joy on the marriage of his successor. Some volumes of English poems and plays occur, by Skelton, Nicholas Breton, Churchyard, Fitz-Geffrey, Randolph, Cartwright, Fletcher, and others, and a few still lighter pieces, such as a Masque at Richmond, partly in Wiltshire dialect, and “Bushell’s Rock,” both in 1636. There are traces of the study of Spanish, French and Welsh, as well as of Latin and Greek; and an attempt to introduce phonetic writing and spelling was made by Charles Butler in 1633 and 1634. Even theological disputes are lightened by the solemn account of certain Jesuits in the East, who dressed up a carcase as that of a queen recently deceased, obtained much glory from the miracles it wrought, until the real corpse arrived and the priests vacated the vicinity (1633, Gregorius). There is something surprising in Oxford being chosen as the printing-place of a book to persuade mothers to nurse their own children (1622, Clinton); and an episcopal alchemist is not often to be met with in real life (1621, Thornborough). It is less to be wondered at that a college which had leased land to Queen Elizabeth for a quiet five thousand years, should try to be relieved of its agreement within fifty (1623, Oxford). There is no need of a general history of the University Press at this time, as distinguished from the annals which the Appendixes of this work present. The printers were privileged members of the University, and occasionally printed “cum privilegio,” but there is little to invest their personal proceedings with importance. Though it is true that money was advanced in 1585 by the Earl of Leicester, Chancellor of the University, to set up Joseph Barnes with a new press, and that the charter of privileges in 1632 gave the University direct control of the printing, there are as yet few signs of actual academical patronage or interference, and the failures and successes of the printers and publishers, which can be traced in detail in Appendixes C and F, are the ordinary fluctuations of trade. Nor can the Oxford press at this time claim much connexion with the greater world of the English Court or Church. After it was placed on a permanent footing by the Earl of Leicester, its one great patron and protector within our period was Archbishop Laud, who occupied a similar position to that of Bishop Fell at a later period in the same century. The year 1640 has been chosen as the inferior limit of this bibliography, partly because both the British Museum Catalogue of early English books and Arber’s Transcript of the Registers of the Stationers’ Company stop at that point, partly because the interest in the products of the press as such was found to be rapidly diminishing, and partly in consequence of the break-up of all quiet progress during the convulsions of the Rebellion, combined with the dismal prospect of that trackless wilderness—the literature of the Civil War. The present bibliography presents, it is believed, four features of novelty:—the better representation of the titlepage by the use of Roman and Italic capitals as well as ordinary type; the mention of the chief type used in each book; the furnishing of the first words of certain pages, to facilitate the identification of imperfect copies; and the insertion of actual pages[2] of books printed at Oxford, selected from works which are cheap and common. These points are explained and discussed in a paper on ©Method in Bibliography©, printed at pp. 91–106 of vol. 1 of the Transactions of the Bibliographical Society (1893), to which the reader is referred, if he wishes to see a fuller account of the whole aim and method of the present book. The best thanks of the writer are due for general help to Mr. E. Gordon Duff, Librarian of the John Rylands (late Spencer) Library at Manchester, to Mr. F. J. H. Jenkinson, Librarian of the Cambridge University Library, and to Mr. W. H. Allnutt of the Bodleian: but especially to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press both for undertaking on liberal terms a work which can scarcely prove remunerative, and for enabling the Oxford Historical Society to supply copies to its members, as vol. xxix, at a price far below its actual cost[3]. Mr. Horace Hart, the Controller of the Press, has taken a warm personal interest in the printing, and any merits of form which may be found are due to his experience and to the co-operation of his compositors. Nothing, however, can relieve the writer of responsibility for the errors and shortcomings which will be detected; and he can only plead that it is better to bring out an imperfect book, if it is a useful one and the result of hard work, than, by straining after an unattainable completeness, to delay indefinitely its publication. F. MADAN. OXFORD, _Dec._, 1894. MINOR POINTS. _Dates._ The books classed under a given year, such as 1615, are necessarily such as were issued between 25 March 1615 and 24 March 1616, since no means exist for dividing them according to the historical year. In recording a date between Jan. 1 and March 24, the form used is invariably the double one, such as 23 Feb. 1615/6, by which is implied what we understand by 23 Feb. 1616. _Numbers of books._ Some notes on the number of books printed at Oxford will be found on p. 291, and of books printed or published at Oxford on p. 292, among the Notanda. _References._ The usual style of reference throughout the book (including index) is to the _year_ followed by the _initial letter_ of the particular heading; as 1634 C, when the reference is to no. 9 on p. 177 (Cosin). A few references will be found in the earlier pages to years beyond 1640, made before it was decided to close the work at that year. _Titles._ The heading usually presents the author’s name in the form by which he is generally known to posterity, as “James ii, king,” although at the time of the book referred to he was prince James. ----- Footnote 1: See Appendixes A, B. Footnote 2: Separate leaves from rare and costly books are given in G. E. Klemming’s ©Sveriges äldre liturgiska literatur©, Stockholm, 1879—a practice which cannot be approved—but no local press has as yet been similarly illustrated. Footnote 3: Separate copies can _only_ be obtained by ordering them from the Clarendon Press, and are not supplied by the Society.

After no. 700, at least one actual page will be given, and its provenance will be indicated by a note of the form “38.20,” implying a page from the 20th book of 1638 (Reusner). LIST OF TABLES.

The books of these periods are in some respects exceptionally treated, but the general plan is similar to that of the later press. Pages 1–7 (printed off in 1889) must be taken in close connexion with Appendixes A and B, which correct and supplement those pages in important points. 1585–1640. 1. After the heading (which in all cases is the author or a body representing the author, if known; otherwise the catch-title) comes the title, reproduced faithfully so far as was possible with the employment of four types. A fifth minute type indicates letters represented by contractions in the original. The occurrence of a “motto” (whether a text or quotation), a device (see p. 289) or woodcuts (see p. 290) is noted in square brackets. A * before the heading implies “undated”: a † “no place of printing mentioned.” 2. Next follows the technical description, comprising:— _a._ The number of the imprint (see pp. 292–310: it would have been better to add the names of the printer and publisher to the bare reference). _b._ The date. _c._ The apparent size of a page of an ordinary uncut copy, according to the scale, _for narrow sizes_ _for broad sizes_ in. in. 12–18 folio 12–18 large 4^o 9–12 large 8^o 9–12 4^o 7–9 8^o 7–9 small 4^o 6–7 12^o 6–7 square 12^o 5–6 16^o &c. 4–5 24^o The number of leaves in a section (quire or gathering) precedes, within round brackets, when different from what is suggested by the apparent size: as “(eights) small 4^o.” When it has been desirable to indicate further the way in which the original sheets of paper have been folded, the words _single_, _double_, or _treble_ (for once, twice, or thrice folded) are used on p. 238. _d._ The number of pages of a perfect copy, in square brackets when there is no printed pagination, as “pp. [16] + 121 + [9].” When printed pagination does not occur in the book at all, the signatures are also given. _e._ The first words of the 11th page, and of later ones in the case of a large work, always in italics. _f._ The common type of the body of the work, followed by the terms Roman, Italic, or English (i. e. Black-letter): see pp. 291–2. _g._ The contents. _Every page not mentioned is blank_, without exception. 3. Notes on the book. A reference to Wood’s ©Athenæ© and ©Fasti Oxonienses©, as edited by Bliss (1813–20), has been considered as superseding in most instances any biographical account of the author. And the limitation of the present work to a bibliography of a press, not of books connected with the University, has been borne in mind. THE OXFORD PRESS.

Only known from fragments containing signn. b 3, b 4, e 3, e 4, in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. It is still not absolutely certain that this book was printed at Oxford. If it was, this, and not the Andria of Terence printed by Pynson in 1497, was the first English edition of any part of a classic author in the original language. 1481. 1. ¬Alexander¬ de Hales, the _doctor irrefragabilis_.

Of this book there are two issues, the earlier with no border, the later with an elaborate woodcut border, the first ever found in an English printed book, surrounding the entire printed text of sign. a 2^r. There are two similar issues of the Lathbury, 1482. 2. *†¬Latin Grammar.¬ [A Latin Grammar in English with examples, only known from two leaves in the British Museum, signn. b 2 and (presumably) b 5: b 2 beg. “case As I muste”, ends “adyectyuys and voy”: b 5 beg. “Also when y haue”, ends “que¿m¿ queris”.

A Latin Grammar in Latin believed to be by John Anwykyll, of which this edition is only known from fragments, but which was reprinted at Deventer in 1489. The Vulgaria Terentii (sentences from Terence with English translation) was sold as a separate part, and still exists complete in itself. There are two issues of the Grammar, not at present clearly distinguished. 2. *†¬Hampole¬, Richard Rolle of.

These nineteen logical treatises are strung together to form a systematic work on Logic: at the end of the 17th, on sign. Bb 3^v, is “Et sic finiuntur insolubilia swynishede.”, i. e. Roger Swineshede (Suinesheved, Swincet &c.), but he was probably only the author of that part. The last treatise is physical rather than logical. 4. *¬Lyndewoode¬, William. [Sign.

Panzer after Maittaire mentions a Paris ed. of 1498 “cum commento.” ----- Footnote 5: For a general discussion of the circumstances of the Early Sixteenth Century Oxford Press, see Appendix B. Fictitious Or Lost Oxford Books. 1459–1584. 1459. A small sheet of paper printed on the ice-bound Thames at London 18 Jan. 1716 ascribes to Oxford the first printing in England, in the year 1459. Most of the information on the sheet is derived from Atkyns’s ©Original and Growth of Printing© (Lond. 1664). 1461. Printing was “practised in Oxford in 1461,” according to Randle Holmes’s ©Academy of Armory© (Chester, 1688), quoted in Bigmore, i. 337. 1469–70. In Herbert’s Ames, iii. 1393 we read:—“In the late Tho. Osborne’s catalogue of books for sale in June 1756, No. 1345 ‘Plinii Secundi Epistolarum, Liber primus. Exemplar elegans, literis initial. colorat. corio turcico, fol. deaur. lineis rubris & auro elegans ornat. 15l. 15s. Oxon. apud F. Corsellis. 1469.’ To which is added this note, ‘Hocce unicum est exemplar notum, a variis allegatum, et vix uni visum adeo ut Phoenix librorum dici mereratur [_sic_], certe primus est ex libris a Corcellis impressis, cui nomen suum adjunxerit, secundus vero ordine omnium quos unquam ille impressit, priorem scilicet scimus fuisse, Jeronymi Expositionem in Symbol. Apostol. Oxoniae 1468. Anno 1470, varia idem typographus impressit Opuscula, addito in fine nomine, sed nec unicum eorum reperitur hodie integrum. Possident quidam amatores fragmenta aliqua poematum Latinorum, ut Gerardi Lystrii Rhenensis, &c. Carmen Listrii lividorum hominum venenosas linguas, &c.’ This raised the curiosity of the book collectors, who considered this article as a confirmation of what R. Atkins had asserted about printing at Oxford. They all flocked to Osborne’s shop, who instead of the book, produced a letter from a man at Amsterdam, filled with frivolous excuses for not sending them to him. They were disappointed, and looked on the whole as a HVM; however the Plinii Epistolæ, and Ger. Listrii Oratio, &c. afterwards appeared at an auction at Amsterdam, and were bought for the late Dr. Ant. Askew; and were sold again at an auction of his books, by Baker and Leigh, in Feb. 1775. Lot 2064, and 2622, to which articles are annexed, viz. to Lot 2064, ‘Ad finem hæc verba, _Impr. Oxon. apud F. Corsellis_, 1470, Manu recentiore exarata sunt.’ Also to lot 2622, ‘Hæc verba, _Imprim. Oxon. ap. Corsellis_, 1469, Manu recentiore exarata sunt.’ To those who are at all conversant in early printing, the dates will appear at first sight a bungling forgery.” So far Herbert’s Ames, cf. Bowyer and Nichols’s ©Origin of Printing©, 2nd ed. (Lond. 1776), p. 171. The full entry of art. 2064 is “Listrii (Ger.) Oratio habita in Enarrationem Dionysii Halicarnassii; Dionysii Orbis expositio e Greco tralata Prisciano interprete; Ejusdem Carmen in venenosas Linguas Hominum, & Epicedium doctissimi Adoloscentis Ingenisissimique Petri Thessaliensis”: sold to Mr. Dent for £2 3_s._: art. 2622 has 1569 for 1469, and was sold to Capt. Smith for £1 6_s._ * * * * * In the Auction Catalogue of the Library of Dr. Abr. de Vries of Haarlem (Amsterdam, Frederick Muller, 1864) art. 181 was:—“CORCELLIS.—Collection de lettres, copies authentiques, déclarations et notices en 1756 et 57 sur l’imposture fameuse du falsaire G. SMITH, à Amsterdam et la Haye, qui fabriqua une édition de ©Plinii epistolae©, avec souscription: _Oxoniae_, _Corcellis_. 1469. ©Hedwigii liber© 16. ibidem. 1470, etc. et trompa Mr. P. v. Damme et autres en Angleterre.—Recueillie et conservée pour prouver son innocence à la falsification et annotée par Mr. v. Damme. 12 pc. MS. Collection très-curieuse, contenant e. a. 7 lettres de Smith à v. Damme, une lettre forgée ou falsifié du Comte de Pembroke, une lettre de P. Burman Sec., copie d’une déclaration de Meerman, etc. etc.” It is to be hoped that this interesting collection will be brought to light again. * * * * * In the ©Monthly Miscellany, or Memoirs for the Curious© (June 1708), p. 177 it is stated that in the Bishop of Ely’s Library (now at Cambridge) are books “of the first printing in England at Oxford in 1469.” 1480. “Guido de Columnia de historia Trojana, per T. R. (_Theodore Rood_). Quarto. 1480.” So Herbert’s Ames, p. 1393. The source of the error was discovered by Cotton to be a forgery in a copy of Guido sine anno et loco preserved in the Earl of Pembroke’s Library at Wilton (©Typ. Gaz.©, 1st ser., 2nd ed., p. 209.) Before 1487. “Books from the Oxford Press.... 208*. The Chronicles of England. Folio. Lent by the Earl of Jersey.” So in the Catalogue of the Caxton Celebration, 1877, p. 28. Some error. The reference is no doubt to Caxton’s Chronicle of England, printed in 1482. 1489. When Cotton printed his ©Typographical Gazetteer©, 2nd series, (Oxf. 1866) he believed that an Indulgence of 1489 (altered to 1499), in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, was printed at Oxford. It is “a small broadside on vellum, consisting of 24 lines only, printed very closely and occupying a space of about nine inches by six.” The Indulgence is from Johannes de Gigliis alias de Liliis Apostolicus Subdiaconus, granted by Pope Innocent iii: and is dated 1499, there being no name of place or date of printing. There is no doubt that Cotton was mistaken in attributing this piece to the Oxford press. 1498. 1. Bagford, in his inaccurate way, gives the title of an edition of the Greek text of the Ethics of Aristotle by Aretinus “Oxon. 1498” (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 3). He mentions the 1479 edition of the Latin text separately, but the former date can only be due to some confusion with the latter. 2. The Rufinus of 1468 appears as dated 1498 in Panzer, who quotes Schoenemann i. 585, and also in Migne’s ©Patrologia Latina©, xxi. col. 17. 1499. Indulgence: see 1489. 1500. 1. Buridanus: see next article. 2. “Gualtheri Burley Tractatus de materia et forma ac de relativis. Oxonii 1500. 4.” So in Panzer ii (1794) p. 244, quoting Maittaire p. 739, ex Bibl. Bodl. p. 117 (an allusion to an error in the Bodleian Catalogue of 1674, repeated in the 1738 Catalogue p. 206). Bagford makes the same mistake, twisting the author’s name into Johannes Buridanus (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 3). Even Hain (no. 4142) has copied from Panzer. The colophon of 1518. B shows how the error arose, as Cotton points out (©Typ. Gaz.©, 1st ser., 2nd ed., p. 209). 3, 4. Bagford is responsible for two more fictitious Oxford books of 1500. a ©Quaestiones de lumine et luce© (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 3, Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, fol. 103: a confusion with 1518. L) and a Whitinton _de heteroclytis nominibus_ printed at Oxford by Peter Treveris (!) (Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, fol. 103: see 1518. W). 1506. The following book though not printed at Oxford supplies information about an Oxford bookseller:—[sign. a 1^r:—] “Principia seu introduc-tiones f_rat_ris peregrini ytalici de lugo in via doctoris subtilis: adipisci eiusde_m_ doctoris doctrinam cupientibus. [at foot:—] Uenu_n_dant_ur_ autem in alma ac florentissima vniuersitate Oxonie_n_se. in intacte v_ir_g_in_is ac i_m_maculate / vico: s_an_cti ioha_n_nis eua_n_geliste / ad intersignium. [Then follow 4 tractatus: then on sign. g 4^r:—] Expliciunt principia seu introductiones (pro iuuenib_us_) fratris peregrini de lugo ... Imp_re_ssa aut_em_ Londini. p_er_ Richardu_m_ pyns_on_. cum solerti cura ac diligentia Honestissimi Iuuenis ac prudentissimi Hugonis Meslier. Expe_n_s_is_ aut_em_ georgii castellani / oxonii morantis / ad intersignium sancti Ioha_n_nis euangeliste: in quo venundatur op_us_ hoc. Finis....” Then follows a 5th treatise, ending with a letter from Peregrinus de Lugo dated “Tholose quarto Kalendas Februarij . M . ccccc . vj.” Herbert’s Ames (iii. 1396) refers this book to Oxford, although at i. 252 it is referred rightly to Pynson’s press at London. 1510. References to a ©Compendium quaestiuncularum de luce et lumine©, Oxford 1510, will be found in Bagford (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 22^v, Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, p. 104), no doubt from the ©Catalogus librorum MSS^{rum} Angliæ et Hiberniæ© (Oxf. 1697, fol.), tom. 2, p. 280, col. 1, among the printed books of John Moore bp. of Norwich. An error for 1518. 1511. The 1481 Alexander de Hales appears in Bagford (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 23, Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, p. 104) as of 1511, printed at Oxford. 1512. “Walterus Burleius, super libros Posteriorum. 1512. 4^o.” So in Cotton’s ©Typ. Gaz.©, 2nd ser., p. 169, and in a longer form in Herbert’s Ames iii. 1396, and Panzer vii. p. 494, quoting Brüggemann i. 172. The source of the mistake is easily found in the colophon of 1517. B, a “v” having been overlooked. The error is repeated in the ©Bookworm© (1868) p. 126. Before 1519. According to Cotton (©Typ. Gaz.©, 2nd ser., p. 169) an edition of “Jo. Duns Scotus, Scriptum Oxoniense super primum Sententiarum” (Paris 1519) professes to be “impressa juxta editionem Oxoniensem.” This cannot be correct, unless _editio_ refers only to some traditional method of exposition or arrangement at Oxford. About 1519. “The following book printed at the charge of Cardinal Wolsey, with the King’s arms on one side, and the cardinal’s on the other; though it has neither date nor printer’s name, was probably performed about this time [1519] at this place [Oxford].” ‘Libellus prim. epistol. M. Tullii Cicer. Decus Oxoniensium, finitum universitate Oxoniensi. Quarto.’ So in Herbert’s Ames, iii. 1398, and substantially in Bagford’s account (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 24^v, Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, fol. 103): see Cotton’s ©Typ. Gaz.©, 2nd ser., p. 169. Clearly a blunder. The book which is said to be at Trinity College, Dublin, could not be found there in 1885. 1519. “Roberti Whitintoni Lichfeldiensis Protovatis Angliæ in Florentissimâ Oxoniensi Academiâ Laureati, Opusculum de Concinnitate Grammatices & Constructione recognitum Anno Domini xix supra Sesquimillesimum, in 4to.” So Bagford (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 23^v, cf. Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, p. 103). Probably not printed at Oxford. Before 1520. John Dorne, bookseller in Oxford, sold in 1520 several copies of a small book described in his day-book as “Bene fundatum,” “Bene fundatum Oxonie” or “Bene fundatum uosgraf.” This seems to be a trace of a real Oxford book now lost, but no such printer as Vosgraf or Foxgrave (Dorne was from the Low Countries) is known. It would probably belong to the 1517–19 press. See Dorne’s book edited in the ©Collectanea© vol. i of the Oxford Historical Society, 1885. Cotton erroneously reads the title as “Bene sum datum.” 1542. Shepery’s ©Hippolytus©: see under 1586. S. 1549. “P. Martyr de Sacramento Eucharistiæ, disputatio hab. in acad., 1549,” 4^o.

(and) in Rhemes©, 1581 (ascribed to card. Will. Allen), (2) ©A true, sincere and modest defence of English catholiques that suffer for their faith©, n. d. (asserted by Antony à Wood to be also by card. Allen). But Wood declares that the Queen “conceiving it convenient for her worldly designs to take on her the protection of the Low-Countries against the King of Spain, did employ our author ... to write the said book” to _justify_ the Netherland revolt. And certain it is that in consequence of the temperance and fairness with which Bp. Bilson treats his subject, the parliamentary party in Charles I’s time used this book to _oppose_ “passive obedience.” * * * * * Probably issued about the end of November, 1585. Greek type is used on p. 263 and perhaps elsewhere. Another ed. appeared at London in 1586: an extract from pp. 520–21 was reprinted in 1641 and again in Somers’s Tracts, 2nd ed., iv. 29 (Lond. 1810). 2. ¬Case¬, John.

The first book printed at the new Oxford press. The allusions to this and kindred facts are (1) in the “Epistola Nuncupatoria.” Case says of the reasons for dedicating the work to the Earl of Leicester “Unum est nouum hoc præli beneficium, quod te authore nostra Academia nuper recepit ... Prælum hoc nouum (cuius author existis) hunc nouum de moribus libellum pressit. Ne ergo author libelli præli authori videatur ingratus, tibi primùm eiusdem fructum ex animo propinauit ...” (2) the printer himself writes “Admirabilem hanc artem typographicam (Mecęnas amplissime) primum Iohannes Faustus Moguntiæ fauste genuit [the marg. supplies “Anno 1450”], eandem Guilielmus Caxtonus ciuis Londinensis probè aluit & perpoliuit: Laus summa debetur authori qui invenit, laus magna debetur mercatori qui primùm ad nos transuexit ...

Underhill, writes “Non dedit hoc seclo prælum Oxoniense priorem [librum] | Doctrinâque dabunt secula nulla parem.” (4) Laurence Humfrey says “Hoc Speculum vobis nunc Oxoniensis alumnus | Porrigit, en præli dat quoque primitias.” It is clear that neither the Vice-chancellor nor the printer of this volume had any suspicion that there had been printing in Oxford previous to the publication of the present volume, unless “recepit” be a vague allusion to it. The work is a companion one to the same author’s ©Summa veterum interpretum in universam dialecticam Aristotelis©, Lond., Tho. Vautrollerius, 1584, see 1592. C, 1598. C: and there is even a typographical connexion between the two. For an account of the author, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 685. The method adopted by Case is by _quaestiones_, _oppositiones_ and _responsiones_ in the manner of the disputations in the schools at the time.

The visit appears from Wood’s ©Annals© ii. 223 to have been in Jan. 1584/5, and the date of printing 11 Jan. 1584/5. The difficulties in the way of regarding this sheet as the first printing of the new Oxford Press are the form of the date, which usually implies Jan. 1585/6, the assertion of Barnes that the Case was the first production, and the improbability that the Committee of Convocation appointed to consider “de libris imprimendis” on 23 Dec. 1584 would proceed to action so soon as 11 Jan. 1584/5. But the fitness of the earlier date is too obvious to be gainsaid. This piece is probably the first printed sheet issued by Barnes. 5. ¬Parsons¬, Robert.

Of this book also there is a curious history. Gaspare Loarte, a Spanish Jesuit who spent most of his life at Rome, wrote an “Essercitio della vita christiana” some time before 1569. In 1570, J. Sancer, a friend of Robert Parsons the Jesuit, published a translation into English of one of the three parts of the work. In 1582 Parsons himself published “The firste booke of the Christian Exercise, appertayning to resolution” in two parts, which is practically a new work based on part of the original “Essercitio.” Loarte is mentioned in the preface, but the author only signs his name by the initials, R. P. This was again issued without Parsons’ knowledge in 1584. In 1585 (or according to Wood and Ames, copied by Herbert and Dibdin, in 1584) Edmund Bunny printed and published the first edition of an adaptation of Parsons’ book fitted for Protestant readers “at London, by N. Newton, for Iohn Wight,” 8^o. The dedication is to the archbp. of York and the preface dated 9 July 1584 at Bolton-Percy. The book was entered at Stationers’ Hall on 28 Aug. 1584. The Oxford edition before us is a reprint of this London edition with no intentional variation, except the omission of the arms of the archbishop of York on the _verso_ of the title of the London issue. Some of the woodcut ornaments and capitals of the two issues are identical. In “1585, Aug. 30” Parsons again put out his book in a revised and largely augmented form with a new title “A Christian Directorie” which when complete was to consist of three books, the first of which, treating of Resolution, is alone contained in this edition. The preface contains a criticism of the London issue of Bunny’s adaptation, which provoked “A briefe answer vnto those idle and friuolous quarrels of R. P. against the late edition of the Resolution: By Edmund Bunny.” Lond., 1589, 8^o. Other editions of Bunny’s adaptation of Parsons’ “Christian exercise” are 1586 (Lond., “by I. Iackson and Ed. Bollifant for John Wight,” 12^o; in Herbert’s possession), 1589 (Lond., 12^o: Bohn), 1594 (Lond., 24^o: Bohn), 1609 (Lond., 12^o: Bohn), 1615 (Lond., 12^o). See also next art. Parsons’ own work was several times reprinted: and in 1591 appeared an edition of his “Christian Directorie,” anonymously adapted, as the former work, for the use of Protestants, and with the deceptive title “The second part of the booke of Christian Exercise, appertayning to Resolution, or a Christian directorie ... written by the former authour R. P.” (Lond., 12^o). This was several times reprinted, as in 1592, 1594, 1598, 1615. See also Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 221: and the next art. 6. ¬Parsons¬, Robert.

The copy sold in the Heber sale, 9 April 1835, Catal. pt. vi, p. 248, art. 3559 for 8_s._ was probably Herbert’s. Ames in his ©Typographical Antiquities© (Lond. 1749) gives a shorter title and describes the book as a quarto. Other edd. are Lond. 1585, in eights (pp. [10] + 106), and Oxf. 1594 (with 25 _December_ at end of dedication, pp. [10] + 110): but both are different from the present book, if Herbert’s description may be trusted. 1586. 1. ¬Case¬, John. “‘Reflexus speculi moralis, seu commentarius in magna moralia Aristotelis.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–12) Epistola dedicatoria to sir Thomas Bromley, lord chancellor of England, Oxf. 28 Dec. [1585]: 1–138, the six Homilies, in Greek. “Primitiæ typographici nostri in græcis literis preli,” as the dedication says. The first Greek book printed in England was also a Chrysostom (Two Homilies, Lond., Reg. Wolfe, 1543), but separate Greek words occur in the first book printed at Cambridge (Cujusdam ... Christiani Epistola, 1521), and single words cut in wood still earlier. The six homilies are 1. Κατὰ τῶν παρατηρούντων τὰς νεομηνίας (Migne, ©Patrol. Gr.©, Chrysost., i. 953.) 2–5. Εἰς τὸν Λάζαρον, αʹ, βʹ, γʹ, δʹ (ibid. 963, 981, 991, 1005). 6. Εἰς τὸ Περὶ δὲ τῶν κεκοιμημένων (ibid. 1017). See p. 12 (1565), Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 138. An imperfect book, (signn. A 2-D 7), containing Isocrates Πρὸς Δημόνικον, Πρὸς Νικοκλέα, Νικόκλης ἢ συμβουλευτικὸς λόγος τρίτος, Plutarch Περὶ παιδῶν ἀγωγῆς and “Luciani Cupido,” all in Greek, once owned by Thomas Hearne and now in the Bodleian Library, is in similar type to this Chrysostom and is accordingly assigned by Hearne to Barnes’s Press. But minute inspection shows that some of the woodcuts of the book are not identical with any used at Oxford. It is probably London printing (not Bynneman 1581 nor 1621: perhaps Bishop 1599: see Brüggemann, p. 128.) 6. ¬Ecclesiastes.¬ SOLOMONS SERMON: | OF MANS CHIEF | FELICITIE: CALLED | IN HEBREW KOHELETH, | IN GREEKE AND LATIN | ECCLESIASTES. | With a learned, godly, and familiar pa-|raphrase vppon the same: gathe-|red out of the Lectures of A. | C. & now englished for | the benefit of the | vnlearned. | [_motto & device._] Impr. 4: 1586: (eights) 16^o: pp. [16] + 219 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _that is brought_, 111 _and this meditation_: Pica Roman.

Pie: 1–219, the paraphrase, the text of Ecclesiastes occurring in the margin. This book is a translation into English of “Sapientissimi regis Salomonis concio de summo hominis bono quam ... Latini Ecclesiasten vocant, in Latinam linguam ab Antonio Corrano ... versa et ex eiusdem prælectionibus paraphrasi illustrata: accesserunt & notæ quædam” (Lond., 1579) with the omission of the notes. For Ant. de Corro see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 578: and for Thomas Pye, _ibid._ ii. 59. Wood was not acquainted with this earliest work of Pye, but alludes to the book (as above, i. 581) as Corro’s “Sermons on Ecclesiastes. Abridged by Thomas Pitt. Oxon 1585, oct., which is called by some Pitt’s Paraphrase on Ecclesiastes”! The name Pitt, but not the error of date, may be taken from Maunsell, who three times (i. 38, 81, 104) alludes to the book as by Tho. Pitt. Pye in his Epistle states with respect to the original Latin edition, “which treatise, as it came first to the print, myselfe by occasion being charged with som ouerseeing of the presse, at the earnest request aswel of the author himself, as of other many, I translated into English: being the rather a greate deale moued thereunto, because there was no comment or like exposition then extant in our vulgar tongue vpon this part of Scripture.” This latter statement is not strictly true, since “An exposition of Salomon’s booke called Ecclesiastes” was printed in London in 1573. In 1585 Serranus’s commentary translated into English by T. Wilcocke was printed in London. 7. ¬Hutchins¬, Edward.

HYPPOLITVS OVIDIANÆ | PHAEDRAE RES-|PONDENS, PER IOAN-|NEM SCHEPREVVM SOMA-|TO CHRISTIANVM. | [_device._] Impr. 8: [1586]: (eights) 12^o: pp. [80], signn. *,A-D^8: sign. B 1^r beg. _Scilicet expectas_: Pica Italic. Contents:—sign. *1^r, title: *2^r-*7^v, “Ioannis Schepreui præfatio, in epistolam Hyppoliti sui ad Phædram, ad M. Guadum dedicatam,” in Latin elegiacs: *8^r-*8^v, “Candido lectori Georgius Edrychus medicus S. P. D.,” a Latin preface: A 1^r-D 8^r, the poem. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 135. This work is an imaginary reply of Hippolytus to the temptations of Phaedra, in Ovidian elegiacs. The author, John Shepery, of Corpus Christi College (“Somatochristianus”), tells us in the preface that it was composed as a return for kindness shown him by one Guadus (Wade ?, whom the editor describes as a chaplain to Henry viii), but delayed for some years. Shepery died in 1542, aged 32 years. George Etheridge (“Edrychus”) was a pupil of Shepery, fellow of Corpus, and a Roman Catholic. The date is fixed at 1586 by two passages: Etheridge in his preface states that for about 53 years he had been a member of the University: he was admitted scholar of Corpus in Nov. 1534. Also Dr. Humphrey in his introduction to the ©Summa et synopsis© (see below) alludes to the ©Hippolytus© as “nuperrime impressum.” Wood places the date at about 1584, and the Bodleian catalogue of 1843 assigns the book to 1542, owing to the date of Shepery’s death, which happens to occur prominently at the end of Etheridge’s preface. 15. ¬Shepery¬, John.

Graphæ ...”: B 1^r-C 3^v “Disticha Ioannis Sheprevi ...”: verso of leaf after C 3-D 6^r, “Disticha ... in Editione Erasmi Roterodami inserta.” The “Summa Ioannis Sheprevi” is a set of elegiac stanzas, each stanza describing the contents of a chapter in the New Testament, and beginning successively with the letters of the alphabet, written by John Shepery, of Corpus Christi College, Reader of the Hebrew Lecture from about 1537 to his death in 1542. The ©Summa© is stated by Wood to have been first published at Strasburg in about 1556 by John Parkhurst bp. of Norwich, next in Lond. 1560 (Wood), and from Humfrey’s ed. in “Gemma Fabri,” Lond. 1598, and “Biblii (or Bibliorum) summula,” Lond. 1621, etc. The first distich is “A priscis oritur Christus, turbatur Ioseph, | Angelus hunc retinet, virgo beata parit.” MS. C. C. C. (Oxf.) 266 contains these verses. The “Synopsis” is a similar set of elegiac stanzas, without the alphabetical succession of first letters, first inserted in the Latin editions of Erasmus’s New Testament, from that of 1542 on. The author appears to be unknown: the first distich is “Angelus in somnis iustum solatur Ioseph, | Prototoco Mariæ nomen Iesus erit.” In the preface Dr. Humfrey states that his object in editing the book was to recall young students to the study of the text of the Bible, and that he had collated a MS. copy of the ©Summa© with bp. Parkhurst’s edition, and had compared different editions of the ©Synopsis©: he alludes also to the Hippolytus of Shepery as “nuperrime impressum.” See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 135, 560. Dr. Philip Bliss noted in his copy “Whoever wants to write a history of the Oxford press should first get together all the little vols printed by Jo. Barnes, of which this is one of the rarest.” 16. ¬Spanish.¬ REGLAS GRAM-|MATICALES PARA A|PRENDER LA LENGVA ESPA-|n̄ola y Francesa, confiriendo la | vna con la otra, segun el or-|den de las partes de la o-|ration Latinas. | ⁂ | [_woodcuts._] Impr. 9*: 1586: 12^o in size.

The best account of this work will be extracts from the Epistle dedicatory. John Harmar the translator was in this year Proctor, Regius professor of Greek and Fellow of New College. He says, “I was requested, right honorable, by manie of my friends to emploie the time of this last vacation of mine from my publique readinges in the Vniuersitie, in the translating of Master Bezaes Sermons vpon the Canticle of Canticles, which I had a little before receaued from the Francfurt mart in French, into our vulgare and Mother tongue.” The patronage of Lord Dudley is acknowledged and details of the translator’s life are given, as that he attended Beza’s lectures and sermons at Geneva. The work translated was no doubt Beza’s “Sermons sur les trois premiers chapitres du Cantique des cantiques de Salomon,” _Genève, Jehan le Preux_, 1586, 8^o (Brunet). 3. ¬Case¬, John. “‘Thesaurus oeconomiae, seu commentarius oeconomica Aristotelis.

The author’s name nowhere occurs, but there can be but little doubt that the volume was written by John Penry of St. Alban hall, Oxford (B.A. 1586), who is conspicuous in the Marprelate controversy and who published ©An exhortation vnto the Gouernours and people of Wales, to labour earnestly to haue the preaching of the Gospell planted among them© (n. pl. or d., and n. pl. 1588): and also ©A View of ... publike wants & disorders ... in the service of God ... within Wales©, n. pl. 1588. The author says, p. 63, “Some rumor of the speedy dissolution of the Parliament enforced me from the 32 Pag. or there abouts (so much being already vnder the presse) to cut off more of the booke by two parts than is now in the whole.” Parliament sat in 1586 from 28 Oct. to 2 Dec. and not during 1587. At pp. 53–4 Penry alludes to the state of the Universities. Wood does not know of this work, and the best account of the author is in Cooper’s ©Athenæ Cantabr.©, ii. 154. 6. ¬Prime¬, John.

The title is an allusion to the spurious Peplus of Aristotle, a commemoration of the heroes who fell before Troy.

Very rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 457, ©Notes and Queries©, 6th S. iv. 274. The above description is from a copy of the first part, with damaged title, in the Bodleian. Rider claims that the Dictionarie is the first “that hath the English before the Latine, with a ful Index of al such latine words as are in any one common Dictionarie” and that it has 4000 more words than any other. He acknowledges the pecuniary help of the earl of Sussex and Will. Waade. The book is a “retort courteous” to the Cambridge dictionary by Tho. Thomas of 1588. Several edd. were subsequently issued (see 1627. H), and Thomas Holyoke refashioned it. 4. ¬Skelton¬, John. “A Skeltonicall salutation, | or condigne gratulation | and iust vexation | of the Spanish nation, | that in a bravado | spent many a crusado | in setting forth an armado | England to invado | 4to, Oxf.

Payne Collier once saw a copy (©Notes and Queries©, 1st S. i. 18, 1849), the imprint being nearly as No. 5_b_. There were copies in the Farmer sale (1798, sold to lord Spencer) and Inglis sale (1826). In ©Notes and Queries©, _ibid._, p. 12 is printed a letter from John Aylmer bp. of London to the Lord Treasurer about “this foolish rime.” The London reprint, which contains a Latin version said not to be in the Oxford edition (but query?) “imprinted at London for Toby Cooke, 1589” (sm. 4^o, 8 leaves), is not uncommon.

The last compartment represents the author in effigy on a tomb with the words “Casus in occasum vergit vivitque sepultus.” The whole tone of the prefaces is pathetic, Case feeling that he was close to his end, which actually came on 23 Jan. 1599/1600. At p. (7) is a reference to the new Bodleian: at (p. 11) it is stated that some German friends with those at Oxford offered to pay the expense of printing the book rather than that it should not be printed at all, and that the author carefully revised and pruned it five times before publication. In an epilogue to the first book (p. 170), dated 25 June 1597, Case apologises to a friend for not giving the _text_ of each book and for not printing his discourse on Philosophy in general.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 678. Lomazzo’s ©Trattato dell’ arte de la pittura© was published at Milan in 1584, and Haydocke’s Preface gives an account of its rarity in England. Only five out of the seven books of the original are here published. In the dedication the translator alludes to Bodley’s design of “erecting and restoring of this worthie Panbiblion or Temple of all the Muses,” the Bodleian. The title is an elaborate engraving on metal, the words on an oval in the centre: at top “IO: PAOLO LOMAZZO:” surrounding his bust: on either side Juno and Apollo (?): on either side the oval, the arms of the University and of New College: below, in the centre a bust of the translator surmounted by his arms, between figures derived from classical mythology. In the book are thirteen full-page engravings marked A-I, K-N, and a profusion of woodcut ornaments. On the last page but one occurs the large device of the University arms, within a border: then the colophon: then a woodcut of the arms of New College between two Ws (William of Wykeham). By some confusion this book is dated 1605 by Bagford (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 66). 8. ¬Richard¬ de Bury, bp. of Durham, _d._ 1345.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 466. This is the first English edition of the first book on the love of books. The _editio princeps_ is that of 1473 printed at Cologne: the next Spires, 1483 and Paris 1500. An account of these editions and of the known MSS. of the ©Philobiblon© will be found in E. C. Thomas’s edition (Lond., 1888). The mysterious “_B. P. N._” on the titlepage (followed by “Non quæro quod mihi vtile est, sed quod multis”) is explained by him as perhaps “Bibliothecae Praefectus Novae” or “Nostrae” or rather “Bono Publico Natus:” it has been suggested that they may stand for “Beati Pauli Norma,” alluding to 1 Cor. x. 33. The Editor explains that it was intended that the work should be followed by an Appendix containing a catalogue of all MSS. at Oxford, a purpose which seriously delayed the issue of the book. In fact the whole of the text of the ©Philobiblon© was printed off in 1598, as is proved by a single copy still preserved in the Bodleian dated in that year but containing only the titlepage, (identical in type with the published one, except in one figure of the date) and pp. 1 to 62 + [2 blank]. As it is, the Appendix only contains an alphabetical list, without references, of the authors of which manuscripts were preserved at Oxford: the intended catalogue appears in the ©Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis©, Lond., 1600. The preface alludes to the founding of the Bodleian, but dr. James had not yet been appointed Librarian. There is no sufficient ground for supposing with mr. Thomas (_ut supra_, p. lv) and mr. Macray (©Annals of the Bodleian©, 2nd ed., p. 25) that the single advance copy of 1598 implies an issue or edition of that year. 9. ¬Roche¬, Robert.

The running title is “Waynfleti παλιγγενεσία.” Several original documents are printed in the work: which was reprinted in [Bates’s] ©Vitæ selectorum aliquot virorum©, Lond. 1681, p. 49.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 28. Wood did not know Willoughby as an author, and Bliss could find no trace of his academical career. But a John Willoughby certainly matriculated at Exeter College in 1585 (B.A. 1589, M.A. 1593). The treatises are on the Pharisee and the Publican (Luke xviii), on Ps. xlix. 16, on Ps. xxxix. 6, on the Sick of the Palsy (John v), on 2 Cor. xii. 9, on the Shepherd and Sheep, &c.

Like the Powel below this book was certainly not printed at Oxford, and the imprint is fictitious, the type and woodcuts being unknown at Oxford. These falsifications can hardly be unconnected with the fact that John Barnes, the son of Joseph Barnes, in this year set up business for himself in London. The text is a reprint of no. 4 above. 6. ¬Howson¬, dr. John. A | SERMON | PREACHED AT S^t. | MARIES IN OXFORD, | THE 17.

The actual day of disputation was 10 July 1602. There are two issues of this book, one in which the title is a separate leaf, independent of the four sections (A-D^8) which follow, D 8 being blank: the other where the title is A 1, D 8 being the last leaf of the _text_. 8. †¬Oxford¬, Trinity College.

(1) title and text of the decree. A Latin decree passed by the President and Fellows of Trinity college on 12 Dec. 1602, compelling all who have been or are on the foundation of the college to show their gratitude by a proportionate gift of money, and enjoining on all future scholars an oath that they will fulfil this decree. Signed by the President and Fellows. There is another issue similar in form but apparently printed in London, which can readily be distinguished by having a headline of woodcuts, and 43 (instead of 52) lines of print. 9. *†¬Oxford¬, University.

The only copy known was rescued from a binding in Brasenose College Library at Oxford, where it now is. The titles of Lord Buckhurst are given, and show that the earliest possible date is 15 May 1598 when he became Lord High Treasurer: the latest being 24 March 1602/3, when the Queen died. No doubt the sheets were fastened together forming one long notice. The Brasenose copy has lost a few lines at the end of the first column (67 lines left), the second is complete (62 lines). 10. ¬Powel¬, Gabriel. _PRODROMVS._ | A LOGICALL | RESOLVTION OF THE | I.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 25. In spite of the imprint this book, like the Higins (No. 5) above, was not printed at Oxford, the type but especially the woodcuts (with one exception) being entirely unknown at Oxford. It was printed no doubt in London, and the imprint falsified, perhaps in order to escape the necessity of registration at the office of the Stationers’ Company. 12. Rawlinson, John. See under 1612.

This John Sanderson of Lancashire, doctor of Theology, canon of Cambrai, seems to have escaped the notice of biographers. The better known bp. Robert Sanderson also wrote on Logic, see 1615. S. The preface throws no light on the life of the author. For the 4th ed., see 1609. S. The first edition was printed by Plantin at Antwerp in 1589, the dedication to cardinal Allen being dated from Antwerp 1 Jan. “1589,” but neither in the dedication nor in the congratulatory poems which follow in this first edition is there any biographical matter. 14. ¬Smith¬, bp.

The poem describes the whole state of man, his condition, qualities and surroundings, in a discursive manner which allows a short history of England to come in (at p. 131). The stanzas are 9-line, rhyming ABABBCBCC. The author was a professional calligrapher in Oxford, not a member of the University. Davies’s ©Works© were edited by dr. Grosart in 1878. An ed. of 1611 is perhaps only due to a misprint in a 17th cent. bookseller’s catalogue. 5. †¬Godwin¬, Francis, bp. of Hereford.

Four new leaves follow the title, *2^r-*4^r containing a dedication to the king, and ¶ 1^r the arms of the University with woodcuts above and below. Then follows “the Præface,” the title only being re-set, and the headline being no longer “The Epistle | dedicatorie” but “The Præface | to the LL^s”, while on ¶¶ 4^v a passage from Gregory Nazianzen is inserted: all the rest is identical with the other issues: *(_c_) identical with (_b_) throughout except that the imprint is no. 2 and is without date.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to king James: 1–80, the treatise. The preface alludes to “my two bookes,” the other being “A discourse plainely proving the euident vtilitie and vrgent necessitie of the ... Vnion of ... England and Scotland ...” (Lond., 1604, sm. 4^o), which latter was the subject of a remonstrance of the House of Commons to the House of Lords, 26 May 1604, ending in an apology on the part of the author. There is nothing but Wood’s express statement (©Ath. Oxon.© iii. 5) to settle whether this book was published at the close of 1604 or in 1605: so that statement has been accepted. Otherwise it would seem that the two books were not long separated in point of time. Both were reprinted at London in 1641. 12. ¬Wakeman¬, Robert.

No copy of the first impression, which may have been printed at Oxford in 1603 or 1604, has yet been seen.

See 1612 C, which is simply a reissue with new titlepage. The author recommends a nobleman to go to no University, but to Prince Henry’s Court or Academy at Nonsuch. The 2nd book is dedicated to Thomas Mourray, tutor to prince Charles: the 3rd to George earl of Essex, son of the marquess of Huntly: the 4th to sir John Harington, son of lord Harington: the 5th to mr. Francis Stewart Master of Mourray, and to mr. John Stewart son of the duke of Lennox: the 6th to Robert earl of Essex.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 612, ©Fasti© i. 285, but the identity of the author appears to be still quite uncertain. The work is a rhetorical commentary, almost a sermon, on the Gunpowder Plot of 5 Nov. 1605: but seems to afford no clue to the connexion of the author with Oxford. 4. ¬D\[unster]¬, I[ohn].

The poem on p. 38 explains that the work was written “some time agoe” “for priuate vse.” The Bodleian Catalogue (perhaps following Draudius’s ©Bibliotheca Exotica©, Frankf. 1625, p. 293) ascribes this book to John Dunster, but Wood did not know the author. 5. ¬James¬, dr.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 511. The dedication implies that the book took four days to print (?), and claims to be the first from the University Press since the archbishop (Richard Bancroft) became Chancellor (23 Apr. 1608). 11. ——.

John Sansbury: A 2^r-C 7^r, the work, the verso of every leaf being blank. Rare and valuable. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 58, where some extracts are given. Each leaf bears an engraving of the arms of the University or a College, and a short Latin poem following. The title appears to indicate the struggle of king James and England against Italian wiles, the words being from Virg. Aen. i. 72, where the context bears a different meaning. The dedication shows that the poems were written in 1606. The arms are in some respects peculiar, and were probably engraved at Oxford. 15. ¬Twyne¬, Brian.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to Robert Sackvill earl of Dorset, dated from Corpus Christi college, Oxford, 3 June 1608: 1–384, the work, in three books: (1–10) “Index rerum et verborum ...”: (11–21) “Catalogus authorum ... quibus Author ... vsus est”: (21) “Errata ...”: (23–54) “Miscellanea quædam de antiquis aulis et studentium collegiis ...”, according to parishes: (55–72) “Summorum Oxoniensis Academiæ Magistratuum [Chancellors, Vice-Chancellors, Proctors] ... catalogus.” See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 109 (where there is much about the fate of the MS., Twyne’s intentions, &c.) ii. 358. This is the first history of Oxford, but to some extent thrown into a controversial form, to prove the prior antiquity of Oxford to that of Cambridge. For a man of 28 it is, as Wood says, a wonderful performance. Almost all Twyne’s Oxford collections are still preserved in the University Archives and the Library of Corpus Christi college, Oxford.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) “Faults escaped in the printing ...”: (3–8) Epistle dedicatorie to sir Thomas Flemynge, lord chief justice of England: signed “Tho: Iames,” “from the Publike Librarie in Oxford. Feb. 10. 1608”: 1–17, “A complaint of Iohn VVickliffe, exhibited to the King and Parliament”: 19–62, “A Treatise of Iohn VVickliffe against the orders of Friars”: (1–2) “An exposition of the hardest words,” a glossary. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 468. This is still the only printed edition of these two works of Wyclif, edited by dr. James. The usual titles of the treatises are “Four Articles” and “Objections of Freres.” This book is usually found with the James volume above, which is alluded to in the dedication. Dr. James does not specify the MSS. from which these treatises are printed, but MS. C.C.C. (Cambr.) 296 seems to have both, while MS. Bodley 647 only contains the latter of the two. 1609. 1. ¬Butler¬, Charles. THE | _FEMININE MONARCHIE_ | OR | A TREATISE CONCERNING BEES, | AND THE DVE ORDERING OF THEM: | _Wherein_ | The truth, found out by experience and diligent | observation, discovereth the idle and fond | conceipts, which many haue writ-|ten anent this subiect. | _By_ | CHAR: BVTLER Magd. | [_device._] | Impr. 7: 1609: (eights) 12^o: pp. [240], signn. _a_^4 _b_, A-N^8 O^4: sign.

Contents:—sign. _a_ 1^r, title: _a_ 2^r-_a_ 4^r, “The preface to the Reader”, dated from Wotton (St. Lawrence) 11 July 1609: _a_ 4^v-_b_ 1^r, three commendatory poems, by Warner South (Latin) and A. Crosley: _b_ 1^v-_b_ 8^v, “The contents of this Booke”: A 1^r-O 4^v, the treatise. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 209, and 1633 B, 1634 B, 1682 B (in Latin): there are also edd. at Lond. 1623 and (in Latin) 1673. This is a remarkable book, from the style and evident practical experience of its author. Rude engravings occur on signn. C 7^r, C 7^v and (the first music printed at Oxford) F 1^r. The author mentions incidentally in the preface that a book on bees by T. H. of London (presumably Thomas Hill’s ©Profitable instructions for the ordering of bees©, Lond. 1579 and 1593) is really a plagiarism from Georgius Pictorius. 2. ¬Du Moulin¬, Pierre (_d._ 1658).

(1) title: (3–6) Epistle dedicatorie “to his much honored Father: S. F. S.”: (7–13) “The authors epistle dedicatory to the Lady Ann of Rohan, Sister to the Duke of Rohan”, signed “Peter du Moulin”: 1–121, the work. See 1634 D. The original edition of Pierre Du Moulin’s Héraclite, ou de la Vanité et Misère de la vie humaine was printed in 1609. The present translator was probably Robert Stafford of Exeter college, who matr. on 15 Mar. 1604/5 at the age of 16, his father being sir Francis (?) Stafford, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 291, and especially Bliss’s MS. additions in his own copy of the ©Athenæ© in the Bodleian. The coincidence of initials with Richard Smith in the 1634 edition seems to be accidental. See next art. 3. ——. [Another issue, almost identical in appearance, but entirely reprinted: easy tests of the two issues are such as (1) on the titlepage of this second issue, if it be the second, the fourth line begins immediately under the beginning of the third line, whereas in the first issue it begins an _em_ to the right: (2) the O of the imprint is upside down in the first issue: (3) in the title of the author’s Epistle the second issue has “Anne”, the first “Ann”: (4) p. 41 l. 6 of text, the first issue has “Enuy”, the second “Envy”: (5) p. 121 l. 1 of text, the first issue ends with “God”, the second with “God is.” But it is difficult to say which is a reprint of the other: the second issue is more modern in spelling and type, and the woodcut ornaments are possibly less worn in the first. In fact it is conceivable that the second issue is in reality a few years later.] 4. ¬D\[unster¬], I[ohn].

Oxon.©, ii. 89, where Wood states that the author was William Heale and the person opposed dr. William Gager, D.C.L. in 1589. The question “An liceat marito uxorem verberare” was one of those selected for the degree of D.C.L., 11 July 1608, but Gager was neither inceptor nor respondent. The lady M. H. seems from the dedication to have commanded Heale to undertake the task of replying and to have allowed him scant time in which to do it. 6. ¬Reuter¬, Adam. EX L. VT | VIM 3. D.

L probably stands for Licentiatus utriusque juris. He was never matriculated. 7. ¬Sanderson¬, John.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 346: and 1613 H. The author is the well-known writer of the Latin and English Dictionary. From the preface it is clear that the sermon, which is written in an uncompromising tone, caused great opposition in Coventry, of which town some curious details of the puritanical feeling are given: it is now published “not altogether against” the author’s mind.

The writers and editor of these poems on the death of Prince Henry are more disguised than usual. The editor was undoubtedly “Jacobus Aretius,” i. e. James Martin, of Broadgates hall. There is one poem in Chaldee (Hebrew type), one in Syriac, one in Arabic, one in Turkish (all three in Roman type) and a few in Greek. There are three Idylls, “Amyntas,” “Tityrus,” and “Daphnis,” in Latin hexameter verse, presumably by the Editor. 7. ——.

The map of Virginia which follows p. 8 is about 12–15/16 in. high × 16⅜ in. broad, taking the extreme limits of the copperplate (the inner bounding line is 12⅜ × 15¾ in.): the title “Virginia” is on a scroll, and below the Scale of Leagues is “Discovered and Discribed by Captain Iohn Smith | Grauen by William Hole”: at the top left corner (to the reader) is a picture of Powhatan in state, and at the top right corner a figure of a “Sasquesahanoug” man. This first state of the map ought _not_ to have “1607” below the inscription about Powhatan, _nor_ “1606” below the word “Smith” in the words below the Scale, _nor_ “Page 41 | Smith” in the lower right corner, _nor_ the latitude and longitude marks on any side except the base; all of which additions are on the reissue of the map in Smith’s ©General Historie of Virginia ...© (Lond. 1624, fol.), and also in the reissue in ©Purchas his Pilgrimes©, 4th part, Lond. 1625, except that instead of “Page 41 Smith” there is in the upper right (?) corner “1690,” a reference to the page. The W. S. of the first part is the rev. William Simmonds, D.D. of Magd. Coll. Oxford, for some time a resident in Virginia, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 142, while the publisher of both parts was Thomas Abbay. The whole of the first part with trifling changes is reprinted in Smith’s ©Generall Historie of Virginia© (London. 1624, fol.) bk. 2, p. 21: in ©Purchas his Pilgrimes© (Lond. 1625, fol.) Lib. ix, ch. 3, p. 1691: and the second part, slightly abridged, in the same books, bk. 3, p. 41, where the glossary and map occur, but the 12th chap. is considerably altered: and ch. 4, p. 1705, respectively. The whole is carefully reprinted from the 1612 ed. by Edw. Arber in his ©English Scholar’s Library. Capt. John Smith ... Works.© (Birmingham, 1884), from whose notes the following words are taken:— [Preface to part 1]. “The first part of this Work is evidently an expanded and revised text of that “Mappe of the Bay and Rivers, with an annexed Relation of the Countries and Nations that inhabit them” (p. 444), which President JOHN SMITH sent home, about November 1608, to the Council in London, as the result of his explorations in Chesapeake Bay in the previous summer. That this book of travels &c. should have been printed at the Oxford University Press is a most singular fact.... The hand printing presses in England were jealously registered, and locked up every night, to prevent surrepti[ti]ous printing; all through the lifetime of our Author: and the Company of Stationers of London especially watched with a keen jealousy the printing operations of the two Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, who each possessed a single hand press. See W. HERBERT’S edition of J. AMES’S ©Typographical Antiquities©, iii, 1398, Ed. 1790, 4to. This solitary hand printing press at Oxford, usually produced sermons, theological and learned Works, &c.; in the midst of which, this book of travels crops up in a startling manner. Why could not, or would not SMITH get it printed in London? Had the revision of its second Part by the Rev. DR. SIMMONDS anything to do with the printing at Oxford? These nuts we must leave for others to crack. Of course, being printed at Oxford, this book was not registered at Stationer’s Hall, London ... It is sometimes misnamed the Oxford _tract_; but it is rather a book than a tract. [Preface to part 2]. T. ABBAY states, ... [in his preface] respecting this second Part, _Neither am I the author, for they are many, whose particular discourses are signed by their names. This solid treatise, first was compiled by_ Richard Pots, _since passing the hands of many to pervse, chancing into my hands, (for that I know them honest men, and can partly well witnesse their relations true) I could do no lesse in charity to the world then reveale; nor in conscience, but approve._ This Part is therefore the Vindication or Manifesto of the thirty or forty Gentlemen and Soldiers, who, under SMITH, saved the Colony ... This second Part of the ©Map of Virginia©, compiled, and perhaps added to, by RICHARD POTS, ... tested and revised by the Rev. WILLIAM SIMMONDS, D. D., ... and published by T. ABBAY; is a condensed summary of the sayings and writings of the following seven Virginian Colonists: _GENTLEMEN._ _Original Planters_, 1607. NATHANIEL POWELL (killed in the Massacre, 22 March 1622) ... THOMAS STUDLEY, Cape Merchant or Colonial Storekeeper (who died 28 August 1607) ... ©First Supply©, 1608. WILLIAM PHETTIPLACE, ... Dr. WALTER RUSSELL, ... RICHARD WIFFIN, ... ©Second Supply©, 1609. THOMAS ABBAY ... _SOLDIER._ _Original Planter_, 1607. ANAS TODKILL ... In the revision of this text in the ©General History©, Lib. 3, in 1624; the testimonies of eight other Gentlemen were incorporated (not _invented_ as some would think) ... It is to be especially noted that, while he would endorse it all, Captain SMITH is not named as an author of _any portion_ of this Second Part, either in the title in the previous page or in the text itself: therefore no allusion to the POCAHONTAS deliverance should be expected in it; and there is none.” 20. ¬Smith¬, capt.

For the editor see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 577. The “ancient printed copie” was neither of the two issues dated Nuremberg 1546, but the undated one (probably 1546) “overseen” by M[iles] C[overdale], though Coverdale’s preface is omitted.

GREAT BRITTAINES | SVNNES-SET, | _BEWAILED WITH A SHOW-_|_ER OF TEARES_. | _BY_ | WILLIAM BASSE. Impr. 7 (not at foot of page, but, with date, close to rest of title): 1613: (eight & four) 16^o: pp. [2] + 22: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) short dedication “to his honourable master S^r Richard Wenman Knight”: 1–19, the poem in 8-line stanzas, one on each page, ending with “finis.”: 21–22, “A morning after mourning,” 2 more stanzas, ending with “finis.” Extremely rare. This book has never been found except in fragments, and usually in the bindings of books. The Bodleian copy is complete: Merton college, Oxford, has nearly a complete one from its bindings: the British Museum copy was dr. Bandinel’s (Sale Catal., Aug. 1861, no. 44), and contains the first 16 (?) pages. Other fragments are known to exist, chiefly in Oxford college library bindings. The poem was reproduced in facsimile in 1872 by W. H. Allnutt (100 copies). It seems on the whole probable that this William Basse, who was a retainer in sir R. Wenman’s house (Thame Park), is identical with the William Bas who wrote ©Sword and Buckler© (Lond. 1602, 4^o), which is a poetical defence of Serving-men against the scorn of their superiors. In Stanza 2 of the present poem is a clear reference to Bas’s ©Three Pastoral Elegies© (Lond. 1602, 4^o) in the following terms:—“Not (like as when some triviall discontents | First taught my raw and lucklesse youth to rue | Doe I to Flockes, now vtter my laments ...”. On the other hand the author of the ©Sword and Buckler© had two sons, whereas here he speaks of his “young Muse.” Other poems by “William Basse” (Bas) prepared for the press in 1653 were printed by J. P. Collier in 1870; and contributions to the ©Annalia Dubrensia© (1636) and Walton’s ©Angler©, as well as an “Epitaph upon Shakespeare” are mentioned. See J. Payne Collier’s ©Bibliographical account© (1865) p. 54, W. C. Hazlitt’s ©Handbook© (1867) and ©(Bibliographical) Collections©, 1st series (1876). The author is mentioned as living at Moreton near Thame, in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iv. 222. The subject of the first poem is Prince Henry’s death, and of the “Morning” the wedding of the princess Elizabeth. 3. ¬Benefield¬, Sebastian.

Benefield printed a commentary in 21 sermons on Amos chap. 2 at London in 1620, and in 17 sermons on Amos chap. 3 (together with a separate reprint of the present commentary) at London in 1629. 4. ¬Benefield¬, Sebastian.

The editor’s name does not appear. Bodley died in London on Jan. 28. 1612/3, but both the dedication of this volume and p. 117 of the ©Justa Funebria© (see below) state that it was on Jan. 29: see Wood’s ©Ath.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 293. This is a singular and uncommon book. The author was a soldier of fortune, who was admitted as a reader in the Bodleian as from St. Edmund hall on 27 Apr. 1611, but did not matriculate till 5 Sept. 1612. The verso of each leaf is in general Italian poems, and the recto of the next leaf a Latin version of them. On signn. F 2^v and L 3^v-M 2^v are letters and testimonials about him: at H 1^v is a poem in Italian and Latin on sir Thomas Bodley’s death: at H 2^v begins his ©Selua© or ©Sylva© in two parts, and at N 4^v a long and curious account in Italian and Latin verse of his stay in England and particularly Oxford and New College, which he was forced to leave (in 1614?) by the puritanical party. On M 3^v is an oration delivered in Italy, and on Q 2^v is a poem in both languages on the death of dr. Rives, which is repeated on Q 3^r. The whole book was intended to be produced at the wedding of Frederick elector Palatine with the princess Elizabeth (14 Feb. 1612/3), but by the printer’s delay was too late. 23. ¬Potter¬, bp.

The author seems to have been private chaplain to sir E. Giles.

I1^r:—“146. Rainoldi (Joan) Orationes. Oxon. 1613”] and Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 70 (Bagford).

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 16 & 15, and 1586 R. The commentary has special reference to the 1st Epistle of St. Peter, and is in 10 divisions or sermons. The editor, William Hinde of Queen’s college, seems to have long possessed the MS. of the lectures. The sermon is a reprint of 1586 R, and an integral part of the whole volume, as the signatures show, which for the sermon begin at T 1.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 349, where the above title is given. The only copy readily traceable is that in the Bodleian which has lost the title and following leaf, beginning on ¶ 3, as well as a blank leaf there must have been after p. 146 (sign. K 1.) The sermons and dedication, but not title, were reprinted in ©Sermons ... by Lancelot Dawes ...© (Lond., 1653), pp. 49, 105. At present the date (1614) depends on Wood’s accuracy. 4. ¬Day¬, John.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 412. The author in the Preface says that he was appointed “Catechisme Reader” in Oriel for a year in 1612, when these lectures were delivered. In a footnote he alludes to his father John Day the printer. The general subjects are those of the Catechism, but carried further. 5. ¬Godwin¬, Thomas.

Other edd. were printed at London in 1661, 1668, 1674, 1680, 1685 (14th), 1689 (15th), 1696 (16th). For the supposed 1613 ed., see 1613 G. Godwin’s ©Synopsis Antiquitatum Hebraicarum© (see 1616 G) and Francis Rous’s ©Archæologia Attica© (see 1637 R) may be regarded as companion works to the present volume, and are often found bound with it.

This is the first Greek edition, as 1671 J is the first Welsh one. The translator, John Smith of Magdalen, explains that the task was meant as a College exercise merely, at first: and apologizes for using such words as Ἰουβιλαῖα, Βούλλαι, Ἰνδουλγεντίαι, for νὴ Δία in a Christian work, and for having only a month and a half to spare for the work. 9. ¬N.¬, S. “©Papistogelastes, or Apologues by which are pleasantly discovered the Abuses, Follies, Superstitions, Idolatries, and Impieties, of the Synagogue of the Pope, and especially of the Priests and Monks thereof©, written first in Ital. by N.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 267. The circumstances of this book will be found in Mark Pattison’s ©Isaac Casaubon© (Lond., 1875: a work without an index), pp. 332, 347, 353, 410, esp. 438–443. Briefly, Casaubon’s “... ad Frontonem Ducæum [Fronto Le Duc] ... Epistola ... (Lond. 1611) was a defence of the execution of Henry Garnett in 1606, against some Jesuit books; a reply was published at Cologne in 1613 by Andreas Eudaemon-Johannes (L’Heureux) “... Epistola ad Amicum Gallum ... item Responsio ad Epistolam Isaaci Casauboni”, the Responsio being dated 1612 on a separate titlepage. Then Prideaux was selected to answer the ©Responsio©, in order to relieve Casaubon of the task: at p. 224 he quotes Casaubon’s account of his father’s last days. There is no real ground for Pattison’s remark that “few copies of Prideaux’s pamphlet survive” (_ut supra_, p. 443). 13. ——.

For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 265. This sermon was reprinted in 1621 (London) and 1636, see 1636 P. The dedication mentions dr. Bodley’s favours towards Prideaux, and mr.

Dr. John Raynolds was Scholar, Fellow, and President of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, but at one time or another was connected with Queen’s, Merton, New College, University, and Oriel (©Register of the Univ. of Oxford©, vol 2, ed. A. Clark, pt. 1, p. 4). There is no clear reference to the author being dr. Raynolds anywhere in the volume, but the fact is undoubted. The “Advertisement,” as a matter of printing, follows the Sermon, but was probably intended to be torn off at that place and pasted in where it is described above. 15. ¬Rainolds¬, dr. John. _V.

R. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 16, where he mentions that Henry Jackson was editor of all the Orations except the first two which had been published before, see 1587 R. The funeral oration was first printed in 1607, see 1607 (Wake, 2nd ed.). From a bibliographical point of view there is great confusion in this and the two subsequent editions of Rainolds’s Orations (_Lond._ 1610, and _Lond._ 1628). For instance Wood himself in his remarks about Henry Jackson has confused the London edd. (B. C.) with the Oxford one (A). In A (the present volume) it is impossible to reckon twelve Orations, and the book falls into three parts (_a_) pp. [6] + 77 + [17], signn. A-D^{12}, sectt. i-iii. above: (_b_) pp. 201 + [1], signn. A-H^{12}, I 1–5, sectt. iv-xi.: (_c_) pp. [110], signn. I 6–12, K-N^{12}, sectt. xii-xiv. In B (Lond. 1619) _a_ is as before occupying pp. [12] + 1–106: then follows “... Rainoldi ... Orationes quinque ...” with a separate titlepage and preface by H. Jackson, occupying pp. 107–348 [the Orations beg. ©Si quis© (1573), ©Redit agricolis© (1574), ©Si quantum vel, cum in isto© (1577), _Si quantum ad_ (1573)]: then _b_, pp. 349–528: then _c_, the Plutarch and Maximus Tyrius, with separate titlepages, occupying pp. 529–624: there is no extra titlepage at end. In C (Lond. 1628) the same four sections occupy pp. [6] + 1–92, 93–302, 303–460, 461–548, corresponding closely with B in contents. 16. ¬St. Paul¬, sir George. “2591. Oxford.

Smith (Sam.) & Brerewoodi Logica—Oxon. 1614.” So in “Catalogi Librorum Richardi Davis bibliopolæ. Pars secunda” (Lond. 1686), p. 77. No Oxford edition of Smith’s ©Aditus ad Logicam© is at present known, see 1613. S, 1617. S (reff. there), but as the latter is a 3rd edition, there may well have been one printed at Oxford in this year, of which no copy has yet found its way into bibliography. Of Brerewood’s ©Logica© there is a London 1614 ed., probably alluded to in Davis’s Catalogue above. 1615. 1. ¬Anyan¬, Thomas.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 488. The dedication states that the Sermons were written “many years” before, and existed in several MS. copies, and thanks lord Paget for benefactions to the Margaret Professor.

The collocation of this work and another translation of Mornay (1612 M) in a Bodleian volume suggest the possibility of the same person being translator of both. 13. Powell, Gabriel. “©Prodromus.

Oxon.©, i. 586 and 1602 B, for the first treatise. Johannes Fernelius and Johannes Riolanus the elder, both French physicians, died in 1558 and 1609 respectively, but neither wrote a special treatise on eyesight. The preface is no doubt by John Barnes and alludes to the worth and undeserved obscurity of Bailey’s work. The whole book with the possible exception of the titlepage, was printed in London, the woodcuts being quite unknown at Oxford. Even the arms of the University on the titlepage are re-cut on wood. The first treatise is only a reprint, Dr. Bailey having died in 1592, and the whole book, preface and all, was reprinted at London in 1626. 3. ¬Fuller¬, Nicholas. _MISCELLANEORVM_ | _Theologicorum_, | QVIBVS NON | MODO SCRIPTVRÆ DIVINÆ, | SED ET ALIORVM CLASSICO-|rum Auctorum plurima monumenta explican-|tur atque illustrantur; | LIBRI TRES, | _Plurimarum observationum, in hac Editione, insigni_ | auctario Locupletati: | _His insuper accessit, consimilis argumenti_, Liber | item Quartus, _antehac nunquam pervulgatus_. | _AVCTORE_ | NICOLAO FULLERO antiquæ & | inclytæ Ecclesiæ Cathedralis | SARISBVRIENSIS | _Canonico_. | [_woodcuts._] Impr. 11: 1616: sm. 4^o: pp. [16] + “452” (440–443 are omitted in the numbers of pages) + [8] + “453”-“645” + [3]: p. 11 beg. _mi, quibus ait_, 111 _Astrologum_, 501 _sum est illud_: English Roman.

There is a reissue of the sheets of the present edition (Errata and all) “Londini, apud Johannem Billium. Anno 1617,” the titlepage alone being newly printed and the old one torn off.

This book is questions and answers on almost every subject concerned with man’s body and mind. Not a line of it was printed at Oxford, the woodcuts and type differ from Oxford ones, and even the device, which is like the smaller Oxford Arms of the University, is from a different block.

Dr. Bliss in his copy of Angelus, now in the Bodleian, suggests that this edition was worked off without the Greek when Angelus betook himself to travel about the country. It is a reprint almost literatim of 1617 A. Angelus was in Oxford, according to Dr. Bliss, from Whitsuntide 1610 to about Easter 1618, and died 1 Feb. 1638/9. The second woodcut is a new and rather more elaborate one than in the 1617 issue, but not more intelligible, and is enclosed in an oval frame: the first (on sign. A 4^r) is unchanged. 2.*† ——.

The _Proeomium_ contains much information about the Library. The MSS. and printed books are treated alike in this catalogue, each with its pressmark. Dr. James had resigned the office of Librarian in May 1620 from illness. The Hebrew MSS. are not all entered in the Catalogue, and “propter typorum defectum” are described in Latin, not Hebrew type. A second edition of the Appendix was issued in 1635. The expense of printing the volume was £112 10_s._, (Reg. Convoc. N. 23, fol. 93, quoted by Macray ©Annals of the Bodleian©, 2nd ed. p. 58 _n._) 6. ¬Twyne¬, Brian.

Other editions are Lond. 1660 (7th), 1676 (8th), 1800 (9th), (10th), 1806 (11th), 1845, 188-, as well as epitomes. This celebrated work is replete with erudition, humour, and acuteness. The recondite sources of the numberless quotations are perhaps only to be found in the Bodleian, to which Burton bequeathed his printed books, of which a catalogue is among the Bodleian MSS. This first edition, which is anonymous except for one signature on p. (7) of the Conclusion, is accounted rare, but copies not infrequently appear for sale. Each successive edition during the author’s lifetime (he died in Jan. 1639/40) shows alterations. 3. ¬Denison¬, John.

Most copies have a device on the titlepage, but a presentation copy from the author to the Bodleian and the copy in the Savile Library omit it.

The object of this small treatise, “the first worke of” the authoress “that ever came in Print,” is to persuade mothers to nurse their own children. The author appears to dedicate it to her daughter-in-law, not mother-in-law as Bliss states (Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 384 _n._). The authorship has been ascribed to Thomas Lodge (Wood, as above), but there is every internal mark that he only wrote the address to the Reader, and possibly revised the whole. 4. ¬Gardiner¬, Richard.

James, and of great interest both for the biography of the author and the principles of criticism as applied to editing a text from MSS. These 26 “Theses or Rules concerning the Art Criticke” are, at p. 23, followed by examples. Dr. James paid two Dutchmen for transcription abroad at the rate of 20_s._ per quire, each quire taking them a week, and the hundred quires per year sufficing to keep two presses at work (p. 17). At p. 26 he explains that a critical remark by bp. Bilson first set him about compiling the ©Ecloga Oxonio-Cantabrigiensis© (Lond. 1600). 9. *†¬James¬, dr. Thomas.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. This (and still more the ©Explanation© above, which see) is an interesting plea for the application of criticism to aid in restoring the texts of Fathers and Schoolmen which had been corrupted by Roman Catholic theologians. The date cannot be precisely ascertained: the titles of the approvers only confine it to 1624, 1625, or 1626: the ©Explanation© alludes to it as “lately” issued: so that it is difficult to say whether 1624 or 1625 is the year of issue. 10. ——.

The first edition was published in London in 1623, with a similar title, giving 12 July 1623 as the date of the Dissertation: the preface is dated 29 Sept. 1623 and the dedication is to William Camden, then alive, but the Oratio is not prefixed.

Contents:—p. 1 title: 3–30, the work: (1–2) not seen. Very rare. This is a curious production of a Dutch press, and appears to be a vigorous defence of Barneveldt (_d._ 1619) and the Arminians against Maurice prince of Orange and the Gomarists. Latin, French, Dutch and Italian are used, and the whole piece abounds with lacunae. “Walter Map” in the imprint is of course the well-known archdeacon of Oxford in the 12th cent., whose satires are still appreciated. 2. ¬Barnes¬, Robert.

The author was the son of Joseph Barnes the printer, and a Fellow of Magdalen College: the dedication contains some biographical matter, and the sermon some Henley affairs, such as ploughing on Easter Tuesday, which the preacher laments. 3. ¬Bayley¬, Thomas.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 633. The preface explains that the discourses were printed in order to confute a charge of Arminianism. 4. ¬Cameron¬, John.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 476, where Bliss adds a note from White Kennett’s copy of the 1^{st} ed. of the Athenæ (at i. 463) “William Pinke. He translated and published An Examination ... 1626. 4^{to}. Ded. to the Master Wardens and Assistants of the Skinners Company. by W. P. [William Pinke] acknowledging his Engagements to the whole Company, and reverencing the Memory of that worthy Knight Sir James Lancaster.” Neither the British Museum copy nor the two Bodleian copies contain the above dedication, the signatures of the preliminary matter being, on each leaf:—(blank), *2, **, (blank), forming one gathering of 4 leaves of a natural kind, though the double asterisk is odd. The original French bore the title “Traicté auquel sont examinez les preiugez de ceux de l’Eglise Romaine. Contre la Religion Reformee” (La Rochelle, 1617.) Cameron was a Scotchman, minister at Bordeaux and Professor of Theology at Saumur. The address to the reader apologises for using the word _prejudice_ as a translation of the French _Preiugé_, which means a preconceit either good or bad: and says “I have not construed but translated.” 5. ¬H[akewell]¬, G[eorge].

It claims to be the first on the subject at Oxford, quotes the decree of the Council of Vienne 1311–12 that there ought to be instruction in Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee at Oxford, and urges the fitness of the study in Oxford.

Oxon.©, iii. 1062), and succeeded him in his lectureship at Magdalen hall. There is something curious about the printing of this volume: the pagination is peculiar, and sign. K 1^r (p. “31”) has the running title of sermon 4 instead of 5: also the catchword on p. “38” is _have_ instead of _having_, and the next page differs in style of printing. The second edition shows each sermon with a separate pagination, but appears otherwise to be a verbatim reprint. The signatures of this first ed. begin again with the second sermon, and the first at least of the last two leaves bears no signature, though beginning a new sheet. 17. ¬Rudyerd¬, sir Benjamin. _BENIAMIN RVDIERD_ | HIS SPEECH IN BEHALFE | OF THE CLERGIE, AND OF | _Parishes_ miserably destitute of In-|struction, through want of | _Maintenance_. | CONFIRMED BY THE | Testimonies of Bishop IEWEL, | Master PERKINS, and Sir | HENRY SPELMAN. | [_line, motto, line._] Impr. 76: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 14 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _taine vnto him_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–14, the speech. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 456. This tract is generally found without any title page (signn. A—B^4 only): the London booksellers seem to have printed one for their own purposes, not deeming the title as it heads p. 1 (“Sir Beniamin Ruddierd’s speach in behalfe of the Cleargy.”) sufficient. Some early copies have the number of the first page central over the author’s name, enclosed in brackets; but it was doubtless soon moved to the upper right hand corner, because in its original place it seemed to indicate a first _part_ of the tract rather than simply the first page. This speech was reprinted at London in 1641. 18. ¬Sparke¬, William.

The demand for this entertaining book was such that a third corrected edition was published by Allot in 1634. The translator was secretary to sir John Digby when Ambassador in Spain, and the first edition of the original Spanish is dated 1599 (1st part) and 1602 or 1603 (2nd part).

Probably William Lyford, whose preface dated 7 July 1630 is prefixed to all other editions, edited this tentative issue also. The pagination and signatures are separate for the two sermons.

The engraved title (4–5/16 × 2–13/16 in.) contains the title in the centre, and on each side figures of “Veritas” with a book, and “Charitas” with a bird: above is a figure “Religionis” (_sic_). Below are six figures of Sins and in their midst Satan rising from hell. The imprint is also engraved on the plate. From Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901 fol. 73^v it would seem that Bagford saw some _printed_ title stating that Turner was the printer: the engraved title only is in the copies seen. 2. ¬Bible¬, Old Testament, Psalms.

The titlepage shows the Book of Psalms sent down from heaven and received by David and James i. It is on one plate with the royal arms and proclamation, and is printed from metal. 3. ¬Bolton¬, Robert. HELPES | TO | HVMILIATION. | [_line_] | _By R.

The preface states that this publication is by leave of the author though not undertaken by him, so it preceded his death on 17 Dec. 1631. Every page has double bounding lines at top and outer side margin. Spark must have sent his engraved business mark, chiefly a monogram of the letters of his names, to Oxford to be printed: see below, F. 4. ¬Brerewood¬, Edward.

The next article is strictly part of the present work, but the signatures, pagination &c. being quite distinct (the only sign of its secondary character is the omission of the name of the _place_ in the imprint), it is here for convenience’ sake treated separately: it is also more common to find it separate than to meet with the entire work. 6. —† ——.

The author complains of a pirated and imperfect edition, probably under another title, issued by Robert Swayne “now deceased” (printer at London, 1621–29). In C. S. Palmer’s Catalogue of Books, pt. 10 (June 1878), no. 256, this book is attributed to Anthony Farindon, for whom see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 457. Every page is within double lines at top and outside margin. The original title was probably “Promises”, for the compositor of one side of the first sheet of the text placed that as part of the headline, while the compositor of the other side and of the rest of the work has, as the author suggests, the new title “Saints Legacies” or “Legacies”. 11. ¬Felix¬, Marcus Minucius.

See Wood’s ©Ath.

The error of pagination on pp. 130–32 (“140–42”) was due to the prefatory matter of the second part being supposed by the compositor to follow the 3rd leaf of what is now sheet S, instead of the 3rd leaf of sheet Q. 18. ¬Pareus¬, David. ¤DAVIDIS PAREI¤ | _Theologi Archipalatini_. | IN | ¤S.

The work contains the Quaestiones and Theses by which Primerose obtained his doctor’s degree in medicine at Montpellier 2 May 1617, beginning on 21 Jan. 1616/7: also the first medical quaestio defended after his degree, on 21 Dec. 1617. The “Laurus” must refer to the dedication in which an interesting account of the University of Montpellier is given. The occasion of publishing this medical work so long after the time at which it was written, was no doubt the incorporation of dr. Primerose at Oxford in March 1628/9. In the Bliss sale (1858) a copy of this book was sold “with duplicate title-page containing a variation” which I have not seen. 24. ¬Sanderson¬, Robert.

See 1628 V: the printer confesses that this is an unauthorized reprint of the original edition, in consequence of the daily complaint of the rarity of the book: and says “Nactus itaque tandem amicorum ope istarum Thesium fasciculum (integrum vti spero,) ... sumpsi mihi fiduciam eum iterùm typis meis exprimendi”. There is nothing in this to indicate that this is a reissue of the sheets of 1628 V, without even correction of the misprints: on the contrary the list of errata given in 1628 is omitted. The first eight pages only are printing of 1631. This edition appears to be quite rare, but perhaps only accidentally so, because copies have not found their way into public libraries; or possibly Vossius may have succeeded in stopping a pirated issue. 30. *¬W[alkington]¬, T[homas].

For the author, see Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 350. The proof of authorship is not clear, but the fact seems generally accepted, and Walkington was certainly a Fellow of St. John’s College, Cambridge. The book has also been attributed to Tho. Wilbie and T. Wombwell, according to Bohn’s Lowndes. This is a reprint of the 1607 London edition, re-printed at London in 1639 and 1663. Hitherto this Oxford edition has been generally regarded as the first, and the British Museum catalogue assigns it doubtfully to 1605. But it cannot be earlier than 1627 from the woodcuts used, and in that year first William Turner printed books by himself. And it cannot be later than 2 Aug. 1638 when Michael Sparke assigned this book to John Dawson with one of 1631 and one not earlier than 1631. Again, a comparison of 20 imprints of Michael Sparke between 1627 and 1638 raises a presumption that he did not use the expression “are to be sold by Michael Sparke at (or, dwelling at) the Blue Bible in Green Arbour” (nor was he connected with Oxford printers) until 1632, and he uses no local description of the kind at all in his imprints till 1629. On the whole 1631 is a probable year for the issue of this book, and 1631–33 more likely than any earlier or later date. The engraved title on steel (size of plate 5½ × 3½ in.) does not occur in the 1607 ed. and was doubtless made for this occasion: it was altered in the imprint and then used again in 1639 and 1663. On either side of the title is a graduate in cap and gown representing “CAMBRIDGE” and “OXFORD”: together they hold upright what seems intended for an optic glass or touchstone, but presents the exact appearance of a half-closed umbrella. Facing the title and part of the plate is another engraving (plate 5½ × 3½ in., as the title) which a reference to pag. 77 l. 2 shows to represent the Temperaments or complexions, with concentric rings: at top are two small wholly fanciful engravings of “Oxford” and “Cambridge”, each 5/16 × 1–11/16 in. 31. ¬Widdowes¬, Giles.

The author says he now prints his old sermon, because it had been a great consolation to him, he having just lost his eldest son, a B.A. of Christ Church, by illness. 6. ¬Downinge¬, Calybute.

Each of the 15 bks. and the Life are preceded by a full-page engraving. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 100. The first and second editions were issued at London in 1626 and 1628: this is the third, and others followed but were not published at Oxford. The first five books had been issued by Sandys at least twice (2nd ed., Lond. 1621). The large engraved titlepage (9⅝ × 5⅛ in.) is similar to the title of the 1626 London folio edition in general design, but different in detail. In the 1632 engraving the title (nearly as on the printed leaf, as far as “G. S.”, with date only and no imprint) is on a sheet held by and between two figures of Amor and Sapientia, and on the lower edge of the sheet is “_Francisco Clein Inv: Salamon Sauery sculp:_”. Other emblematic figures and some Latin sentences fill the page. The British Museum copy has the engraved title, but the copy presented by the translator in 1636 to the Bodleian has not. The book is singular in having no small woodcut ornaments. 8. ¬Pemble¬, William.

This book, as well as the same author’s ©Feminine Monarchie or history of Bees© (see 1634 B), are printed in a peculiar phonetic manner. The system is of considerable interest for the history of phonetic reforms of spelling and of English pronunciation, but made no way in practical use. The preface asserts the superiority of English in generality, by which he means wide geographical extent of usage, but laments the uncertain correspondence of sound and spelling, and the labour of learning the language, these two defects being due both to the want of alphabetical characters for certain sounds, and to historical changes of pronunciation, to which some persons adapt the old spelling and some do not. The author supplies the characters wanted, and counsels strictly phonetic spelling with certain exceptions where letters not strictly sounded indicate idiom or derivation. Generally an aspirated letter is represented by a line drawn through the letter (đ, w̶, ǥ, but ʇ), and mute vowels by a substituted comma (as strang‘, tru‘, nam‘ly) when not omitted (as qestion). Also conjoined double e and double o are used, but the exceptions to the phonetic spelling would be, among others, a serious objection to this system of compromise. In 1585 W. Bullokar published an edition of Æsop’s Fables in English, in a somewhat similar style of orthography. 10. ¬Clemens¬, Romanus. ¤ΚΛΗΜΕΝΤΟΣ¤ | ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡΙΝΘΙΟΥΣ | ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ ΠΡΩΤΗ. | ¤CLEMENTIS¤ | AD CORINTHIOS | EPISTOLA PRIOR. | Ex laceris reliquijs vetustissimi exemplaris Biblio-|thecæ Regiæ eruit, lacunas explevit, Latinè ver-|tit, & notis brevioribus illustravit. | [_line_] | ¤PATRICIVS IVNIVS¤ _Pet.

The book consists of the names of the numbers, the Church Catechism, and the conjugation of French verbs, all in parallel Latin, English and French columns: and serves as an introduction to the English editions by John Anchoran (1631, 1633, 1637, 1639 or 1640, &c.) of J. A. Comenius’s celebrated ©Janua linguarum©. See 1634 S. The book is interesting as showing a connexion between William Turner the Oxford printer (1624–40) and the London printer of the same name (1623–35). The Stationers’ Register (ed. Arber, iv. 334) records the transfer of all the London Turner’s rights in this book and the ©Clavis ad portam© (which was certainly printed by the Oxford Turner in 1634, see 1634 S) to Michael Sparke on 17 Mar. 1634/5. Neither of these books was registered at Stationers’ Hall, and so probably this book as well as the ©Clavis© was printed at Oxford, though the imprint, type and woodcuts are not by themselves decisive. Probably the two Turners are in fact identical, and the Oxford printing establishment, though founded a year later than the other (but as a bookseller’s business not later than 1616/7), was the chief one. It is curious that under these circumstances Turner was allowed to be a member of the Stationers’ Company, which was particularly jealous of provincial presses. 20. ¬Gregorius¬, monk.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) “To the Reader”, about the Georgians, probably by the translator: 1–23, the letter, dated “Trapezunt May 16. _Ann._ 1626”. A rare tract. See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 479. The incident related belongs to the year 1614, when the King of Persia put Ketaban to death for refusing to forsake Christianity. Some Jesuits are said to have dressed up a carcase as Ketaban’s, to have carried it to her son, and to have enjoyed much honour by the miracles which it wrought. Ultimately the real body arrived and the Jesuits were banished. The translator was Thomas Crosfield of Queen’s College, Oxford: and the Letter was published in Greek and Latin (at London?) in 1632. 21. ¬Hakewill¬, George.

These are exercises and speeches composed by Holyday in about 1617–21, when prælector of Rhetoric and Philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford, and concern the De Anima, Ethics and Rhetoric of Aristotle. What is considered to be the barbarous element in the Philosophy, is not clear. 24. ¬James¬, dr. Richard.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) dedication to sir Kenelm Digby, signed “Rich. Iamesius”, the editor: 1–17, the Letter, dated “Abingdoniæ ... 4^o Kal. Aprilis”: 18, “Nota magistri Briani Twyne” about the occasion of the letter: (1–7) three Latin poems and a Latin note by James on Cotton and Allen. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 85, ii. 630. This is a rather uncommon book, containing a persuasive to the study of Greek, written in 1518, probably at the king’s instigation. The opponents of the New Learning called themselves Trojans in opposition to the Grecians. The letter is reprinted by Hearne in his edition of Roper’s Life of More (Oxf. 1716, 8^o). Sir Robert Cotton died in 1631, and Thomas Allen of Gloucester hall in Oxford in 1632. 26. ¬Oxford¬, University. [two _lines_] | _Musarum Oxoniensium_ | PRO | REGE SVO | _SOTERIA_. | [_Anagram_, &c., then _device_.] Impr. 131: 1633: sm. 4^o: pp. [72], signn. §, §§^4, §§§^2, A, “BC”, D-G^4, H^2: sign. BC1^r beg. _Nec morbos_: English Roman. Contents:—sign. §1^r, title: §2^r-H2^r, the poems: H2^v, device and impr. 132. The occasion of these verses seems to have been an illness of the King late in 1632. Most of the poems are Latin, but four are English and one Greek. One of the printers (W. Turner) contributes some Latin verses. An anagram occurs in the title, and a chronogram (1632) on E1^v. There are curious variations in issues, and marks (see the register of signatures) of the difficulty of obtaining and marshalling in order these collections of separate poems. The early issues of sheet A on A3^r print “R. NEVVLIN _S. T. B._”, the later and common ones insert _C. C. C._ after the name, as also in A1^v, A3^r (twice): so “_Nov. C._” is inserted on A4^v, cf. A2^v. An interesting copy is in the British Museum, being the one specially printed for the King’s personal acceptance. The differences are that the book is on larger paper (the size even as bound and cut down being 7⅞ × 6 in.), and the title entirely reprinted. Every line of the title is in larger type and spread out laterally, except the anagram itself and imprint: also ll. 1 and 4 are roman, not italic, and ll. 3, 4, 6, 7 are printed _in gold_. In l. 6 the two Vs are lower case Us, and in l. 7 Rex appears as REX. So too the device is altered, and it is amusing to see that the imprint, for fear of royal vengeance, is altered from the English “W. T.” (William Turner) to the Latin “G. T.”! This fact shows also that the _last_ and not the first copy was struck off for the King, sheet A agreeing with this in being the later issue (see above). 27. ——.

The perigee of the sun or a planet is when it is nearest to the earth. Most of the poems are Latin, but six are Greek, sixteen at the end English, and one French. Three chronograms occur. One English poem is by John Lichfield the printer. There are some signs of an arrangement of the poems, those by great persons coming first, and the English last. Some copies of a later issue have an extra sheet after I (ii, four leaves) inserted, with more poems, which necessitated a rearrangement of sheet K. 28. ——.

These poems celebrate the birth of James ii on 15 Oct. 1633, and are as usual chiefly in Latin, but six in Greek, eighteen in English (an innovation) and one in French. There is a second issue, perhaps commoner than the first described above, with the following changes. In sheet H, sign. H1^v l. 9 has _Conjugis alvus_, not _uxorius alvus_: H3^r begins with a _Greek_ poem, the rest of sheet H is re-arranged and a new sheet h of four leaves is inserted. Also in sheet L a new poem by W. Dutton is inserted. The sheets not specified above are identical in the two issues. 29. ¬Parsons¬, Bartholomew.

The author was an Italian Jesuit, who died in 1637.

There seems to be some mistake, since no such treatise was printed among Pemble’s Collected Works: possibly Butler’s work on Oratory above has been confused by Wood: but Watt mentions the work under _Pembelo_ as well as _Pemble_, as if he had been independent of Wood. 32. ¬Potter¬, Christopher.

The work against which this was directed was written by a Jesuit named Matthias Wilson, who also employed the names of Nicholas Smith and, as in this case, Edward Knott, and was published in 1630. By Oct. 1634 this first edition was nearly sold out, and the author submitted a copy to archbp. Laud for his approval or correction, with a view to a second edition. Laud suggested the alteration of a few passages, and this was made part of the accusations against him at his trial (see Prynne’s ©Canterburies Doom©, Lond. 1646, p. 251). The second edition thus altered was printed at London in 1634. 33. ¬Reusner¬, Nicolas. NICOLAI REVSNERI LEORINI | IC. Comitis Palat.

See 1638 R. This is a curious example of three parts of a volume being entirely independent of each other, there being no general titlepage, but yet being indissolubly welded together by the signatures, so that no part could be issued separately. The first edition seems to have been issued in 1587, the 4th at London in 1619. The plan of the work is to assign a motto to every emperor, and then to discuss the motto and character of the person together: so that in effect the book is largely a discussion of proverbs of the nature of Erasmus’s ©Adagia©. 34. ¬Salvianus¬, S.

Oxon.©, iii. 228, but this author is not to be confused, as Wood points out, with William Slatyer the writer of ©Palæ-Albion©. The dedication gives some autobiographical notes about the editor, whose tutor at Cambridge was mr. Goade. Strictly, it appears that there should be two titles as above (to be distinguished by the first title having _ANALYTICA._ and ἂρτιος, the second _ANALYTICA_; and ἄρτιος): the second was printed as pp. 1–2, when no dedication or preface was intended; and when the usual prefatory matter with the first title was printed, no doubt the second would be generally removed by the binder. 36. ¬Sermonetta¬, cardinal, i.e. Enrico Gaetani.

This is a rare book, arguing against exclusive privileges of primogeniture, and for the right and in some cases duty of parents to disinherit the eldest son. Other editions were issued at Oxford in 1641 and 1671, but I do not find information about John Allen, nor the ground for ascribing the book to one of that name. On the page preceding the colophon is this figure:— * I * M * * F * * A * M * There is an account of the book in Oldys’s ©British Librarian© (1737), p. 210. 2. ¬Barclay¬, John.

For John Barclay (_d._ 1621) see the Dict. of National Biography, and for the bibliography of this work Jules Dukas’s book. Part 1 was first issued in 1603, part 2 in 1607, part 3 in 1611, part 4 in 1614, part 5 in 1625. The author is satirical on Jesuits and Puritans alike, as well as on individuals. 3. ——.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) Epistola dedicatoria to Louis xiii, dated Rome 1 July 1621: (9) a sentence: (10–29) “Discursus de autore Scripti, & judicium de nominibus Argenidæis”, head line “Discursus in Argenidem”: 1–676, the work in five books: 677–705, “Discursus ... [headline “Clavis”] in Argenidem ...”: (1–2) “Tabula nominum fictorum ...”: (3–9) “Index ...”. See last item. The Argenis, which like the Satyricon is a political satire, was written and first published in 1621. The first discursus must have been rather out of date in this edition, for it suggests that the satire was written by William Barclay, father of the author. Argenis is a female character in the book, apparently representing the hope of the house of Valois. 4. ¬Blaxton¬, John.

This book was printed in London by John Norton jun. (1633–39) for Francis Bowman in Oxford, and does not appear to have been entered in the Stationers’ Hall Register. The frontispiece contains a woodcut representing a Usurer seated at his table, a small fiend behind his head, and on a label “I say I will haue all | both Vse & principall.” On the reader’s right are two pigs, one alive, one dead, with suitable labels.

The Bidding Prayer, in an informal style, is intercalated at pp. 9–14, between the introductory part and the body of the sermon. See 1633 B: the British Museum “1633” copy is absolutely identical with the above issue except that instead of Impr. 146 with the date in Roman numerals, it has Impr. 82 _b_ and “Anno 1634”, the woodcut having been slightly shifted downwards in this issue. 7. ¬Butler¬, Charles.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 209, and 1609 B, of which this is an enlarged edition: the preface is that of the 1623 edition.

The author, a lawyer educated at Cambridge, died in 1597. The first edition, of which this is a reprint slightly different in arrangement, was published at London in 1604, fol.: the 3rd at the Hague in 1661: the 4th at Oxford in 1684, fol. These tables exhibit the whole status and administration of the Church of England in a synoptic form. The words underlined in the above title are in red ink, as well as _Oxoniæ_, and _anno salutis M.DC.XXIV._ in the imprint. The book is peculiar in form. The 1604 and 1684 editions may be called ordinary folios in shape: this one is made up of folio sheets (each containing two folio leaves) folded once and bound oblong, the intention being that the binder should cut through the line of folding at foot and bind the book as if of quarto size, each oblong leaf thus bound being again awkwardly folded once so as to lie within an ordinary quarto binding. In the present edition the original 16 tables are arranged to form 28, and are printed on one side of the leaf only. 10. ¬Downinge¬, Calybute.

This is the early form of the Laudian Statutes. Its history may be read in Wood’s History of the University or in Griffith’s and Shadwell’s edition of the later (1636) form, published in 1888. Briefly, certain Delegates, especially dr. Zouch and Bryan Twyne (who wrote the preface), completed their work, and the University sent up the Corpus to the Chancellor, archbp. Laud. in Aug. 1633. He altered it and had it printed, and in July 1634 declared that the Corpus thus printed (the present work) should be the statutes under which the University should be governed for a year, Mich. 1634–Mich. 1635. Finally in June 1636 the full and authentic code was formally approved, and additions from it were entered in the copies of the 1634 edition, the code not being printed as a whole or precisely until 1888. In 1768 a new edition was printed with certain changes and additions, and the 1768 edition is still in progress, the successive statutes being still connected by paging with that issue. A large part of the edition is on parchment, being presented in that form to the King, the chancellor of the University, each College, the Halls, and the Proctors. Blank spaces are left in many places for additions. Large paper copies are also found. For Synopsises of the statutes, see 1635 O, 1638 O. 18. ¬Pinke¬, William.

Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines: (3) dedication to Philip prince of Orange: (4–19) preface to the same, dated “Lovanii, in Arce, viii Kal. Septem. M.DC.XIV”: (20–23) “Animaduersio”, including some errata: (24–27) complimentary pieces: (28) a quotation: 1–143, the work, consisting of a “Præfatiuncula” and 6 books: 144, explanation introducing the following piece: 145–150, “Irruptio Cimbrorum in Italiam, descripta a Floro lib. iii.”: 151, note introducing the following piece: 152–170, “Additiuncula ex And. Alciati De formula R. Imperii libello”: 171–2, dedication of the Chronology to Floritius: 173–192, “Chronologia Insubrica”: (1–31) “Index rerum”. This work describes the irruptions of the Barbarians into Italy till the year 973: the Insubrians lived in the district round Milan. The history seems to have been first issued in 1614, but Puteanus was Professor at Milan only from 1601 to 1606. 21. ¬Ridley¬, sir Thomas.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 205, for the editor and book. The first edition was issued at London in 1607: the present one was edited by dr. John Gregory, who has added many notes and the index, the author having died in 1628/9 or 1629/30. The title in the copies seen (one on large paper given by the author) has been sewn or pasted in separately, an original titlepage having been torn out. Perhaps this was in order to secure proper printing in red ink, for the words underlined in the title above are in red ink, as are also in the imprint the words _Oxford, University: 1634._, and _Cum Privilegio_. The next editions were issued at Oxford in 1662 and 1675 or 1676. This is the first Oxford book in which I have noticed Anglo-Saxon type (Pica, pp. 184, 193, in the notes). 22. ¬Saltonstall¬, Wye.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 676. This is an alphabetical index of English words and phrases occurring in the 1058 sections found in Comenius’s ©Gate of Tongues©, as edited for the second time in Latin, English and French, by John Anchoran in 1633 (London). Earlier editions of Comenius’s celebrated work were published at Leutschau in 1631 (first edition), then at Leipzig (2nd edition) in 1632 (both as ©Janua linguarum©), and (as ©Porta linguarum trilinguis©) Anchoran’s editions, Lond. 1631, and 1632: the 3rd and 4th London Anchoran editions 1637 and 1639 or 1640 reprint Saltonstall’s index, but it is noticeable that Saltonstall’s five short Latin introductory poems contain at least 18 false quantities, and that he was a commoner of Queen’s college without ever matriculating or taking his degree.

Reissued at Oxford in 1658. The first edition appeared in two volumes at Ingolstadt in 1618, the year of the death of the author, who was a Pole by birth.

Twenty-seven Richard Smiths took their degree at Oxford between 1550 and 1609, and the author of this book has not yet been identified among them. The second work, which is necessarily linked to the first by the signatures, though not covered by the titlepage, is a reprint of 1609 D. No doubt the reprinter of these works thought the two R. S.s identical, but they are in all probability not, the translator of Molinaeus being Robert Stafford. 25. ¬Tozer¬, Henry.

See Wood’s ©Ath Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 422, and 1625 C. The signatures of the two parts are in a certain sense independent, but indicate essential connexion. 3. ¬Chaucer¬, Geoffrey.

Contents:—p. (1) title, within arched border: (3–6) dedication to Patricius Junius (Patrick Young) the King’s librarian, by sir Francis Kinaston: (7–8) not seen, probably blank: (9–12) “Candido Lectori Franciscus Kinaston ...”, dated “Ex Aulâ Albâ Regiâ [Whitehall] xiii Calendarum Decembris, ... CIↃ D cxxxiiii”: (13–28) complimentary Latin and English poems: 2–105, the first book, Latin on the verso of each leaf, English on the recto: (2–7) dedication to John Rouse, Bodley’s librarian, by Kinaston: 1–159 (“21” repeated after “24”), the second book. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 38. The Latin translation is in a singular rhythmical rhyming metre, essentially decasyllabic iambics, but with an extra unaccented syllable at end, and with certain licences in revolving a long syllable into two short. The rhymes are _ababbcc_. The first two lines for example are “Dolorem Troili duplicem narrare | Qui Priami Regis Trojæ fuit gnatus.” This appears to be by far the earliest translation of any part of Chaucer into another language. Part of a commentary on the piece by sir F. Kinaston was printed in 1796. The English part is in black-letter, the Latin in italic Roman. One of the complimentary poems is in would-be Chaucerian style. The collation of this book is difficult: but probably it is this:—signn. A, †, *^4, **^2, ( )^1, B-Z, Aa-Nn^4: †1-**^2 is matter foisted in, which prevented the true fourth leaf of sign. A from forming, as it should, the first leaf of the Latin translation (pp. 1–2 of the 1st book). Accordingly one of two plans was adopted: either the 4th leaf of sign. A was torn off, and a new 4th leaf inserted where the translation begins (which seems to have been usually done, and which gives the collation above, assuming the existence at one time of an A4): or the torn-off fourth leaf was itself awkwardly pasted on to sign. 2**. 4. ¬Downe¬, John. _A_ | TREATISE | OF THE TRVE | NATVRE AND | _DEFINITION_ | _of justifying faith_; | TOGETHER WITH A DEFENCE | of the same, against the Answere of | _N.

See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 287, where London is probably an error for Oxford: and 1633 D. This is a new set of treatises by Downe.

Books 5–6 appear in this edition for the first time, the former being chiefly directed against bp.

The signatures would suggest that the Sermon on 1 Cor. i. 12 was the Act-Sermon, but all copies seem to be bound as above, and the prefixing of the Act Sermon may have been an after-thought. There is nothing in the sermons themselves to settle the point! 11. ¬Legh¬, Edward. ¤SELECTED¤ | _AND_ | ¤CHOICE¤ | OBSERVATIONS | concerning the | TWELVE FIRST | ¤CÆSARS¤ | EMPEROVRS of | _¤ROME¤_. | [_line_] | ¤By EDWARD LEGH¤ Master | of Arts of _Magdalen Hall_ | in OXFORD. | [_line._] Impr. 154: 1635: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [24] + 209 + [7]: p. 11 beg. _shew, as_: English Roman.

A large series of concentric circular spaces fill the centre, each divided into a left hand and right hand half:—counting from the centre (a sun), (1) days of the week, (2) hours of the day, (3) subjects, (4) explanation of the next circle, (5) List of proper audience and books for each lecture: (6) explanation of the next circle, (7) lists of fines for absent professors and absent audience: in the four corners are notes, one of which supplies another title for the sheet, namely “Cyclus Prælectorum ... ex Corpore Statutorum depromptus et delineatus ...”. Some copies (issued in 1638, see below) have a small printed label “Iovis” pasted over “Martis”, or else the plate itself altered to “Iovis”, in the note that Easter Term ends on the _Tuesday_ before Pentecost, and a longer slip pasted at the foot containing a note about the teaching of Arabic and Medicine. The chart is usually found folded and pasted in the 1638 edition of the abridged Statutes: but a copy in the University Archives is pasted _between_ the two columns of the 1635 ©Synopsis Statutorum©, which in combination with the dedication quoted above suggests that it was first issued in 1635, a natural year for it, when the interest in the new Code of Statutes was fresh. There is nothing to suggest that it was printed away from Oxford. The device in the title is a well-made representation of the University arms with the motto “Sapientiæ et felicitatis”. Thomas Crossfield of Queen’s certainly edited the 1638 ©Statuta selecta©, and may have issued the ©Synopsis© (which is in his style), and possibly therefore the ©Encyclopædia©. At any rate he took the plate of the ©Encyclopædia© and used it in 1638. It is in his own copy of the ©Statuta selecta© that the altered plate is found (see above); and the note about Arabic and Medicine is there in his own handwriting preceded by a ☛, just as in the printed slip. 14. ——. _SYNOPSIS SEV EPITOME STATVTORVM_, | _Eorum præsertim, quæ Iuventuti Academ._ Oxon: _maximè_ | _expedit pro Doctrinâ & Moribus habere cognita._ | Impr. 153: 1635: (one) folio: pp [2]: 2nd col. beg. _Tempus ad Gradus_: Long Primer Roman.

The title heads the first column, and the colophon ends the 2nd. See the preceding article, for possible authorship. Persius. The statement by Wood (©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 523) that there is a 1635 _Oxford_ edition of Barten Holyday’s translation of Persius, which deceived Brüggemann, is erroneous: the edition referred to was printed at London. 15. ¬Rives¬, John, archdeacon of Berks.

The signatures indicate that pp. 67-end are an addition to the original book, but a catchword on p. 66 shows that the two parts are not independent. Only these two (separate) editions of Barclay’s Poems were published: the author died in 1621. 3. ¬Bushell¬, Thomas.

Soli Deo gloria”. The translator of this work, which first appeared in English at London in 1618, was Edmund (Maria) Bolton. The present edition was printed in London but published at Oxford, and the title is the engraved one of 1618, by Simon Pass, displaying in the upper centre a Roman, in the lower centre the title, an eagle at top, and symbols and letterpress about, and altered in the imprint only. The collation assumes that a sheet of ten leaves could not be printed and that a blank leaf is needed before and after the prefatory matter: the title is on an inserted leaf. This edition was issued after the translator’s death, and seems not to be entered in the London Stationers Company’s Registers. 9. ¬Grotius¬, Hugo.

Contents:—p. (1), title: (2) royal arms, with “C.R.”: (3–8) “¶ To the Reader, &c.”: (9) about letters: (10) two prayers: (11–70) a Latin grammar in English: (71–2) Latin poem by Will. Lily: (73) a title within a line and border:—“Brevissima | institutio, | _Seu_ | Ratio Grammatices | cognoscendæ, ad omni-|um puerorum utilita-|tem præscripta: _Quam solam Regia Majestas_ | _in omnibus Scholis do-_|_cendam præcipit_. | [_line, woodcut, line_]”, with impr. 72 _c_: (74) arms of the University, &c.: 1–130, a Latin grammar, syntax and prosody, in Latin: (1–30) “Omnium nominum ... ac verborum interpretatio ...”: (31–3) four Latin poems, including graces: (34) woodcut picture of the tree of knowledge, and students gathering the fruit. This is the first Latin grammar printed at Oxford since 1518, and is issued “Cum Privilegio.” The grammar itself was already, in its Latin form, more than a hundred years old, and many editions of it had been printed. Other Oxford editions were issued at least in 1651, 1672–3, 1675, 1679, 1687, 1692, 1699, 1709, 1714, 1733. For William Lily see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 32. The signatures connect the two parts of the book. The importance of this issue is considerable. In consequence of disputes between John Lichfield and Turner, archbp. Laud’s attention had been called to the state of printing at Oxford, and the absence of any such printing privileges as were possessed by Cambridge. A charter of privileges was accordingly obtained, dated 12 Nov. 1632, confirmed and amplified by another dated 13 March 1632/3. These allowed the University to print Bibles, Prayerbooks, Grammars, Almanacs, &c., which had till then been the monopolies of the London Stationers’ Company and the University Press at Cambridge. No Bibles or Prayerbooks were issued at Oxford till 1675, but this Grammar and three Almanacs (see 1637 B, C, and W.) raised the standard of revolt against monopoly. On 20 March 1636/7 the Stationers’ Company agreed to pay the University £200 a year, if it would agree not to issue the classes of books in question, and no further difficulties arose till after the Restoration. 12. ¬Longinus¬, Dionysius.

(3) engraved title, see below: (5–10) “Iuventuti Academicæ”, signed “Gerardus Langbaine”, the editor: (11–24) complimentary Latin pieces by Gabriel de Petra, the author of the Latin translation and notes, 1610, and others: (24–42) three Latin prefatory pieces, about Longinus: a folded oblong 16mo sheet bearing a Diagramma or synopsis of the subject: 1, extract from Suidas about Longinus: 2–161, the treatise in Greek and (on the verso of each leaf) Latin, with marginal notes: 162–176, (1–2) Συνόψεις, further notes: 1–117, (1) “Notarum auctarium” with a critical preface, and (on p. 20) an engraving: ending with a Latin poem on the death of Thomas “Wethereld” (Wetherell) of Queen’s college Oxford. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 446, and 1638 L. The first part of this volume to the end of the Συνόψεις except Langbaine’s preface, is a reprint of the 1612 (Geneva) edition by Gabriel de Petra: the notes are Langbaine’s first published work. The engraved title by William Marshall is from a metal plate, displaying Hermes, an eagle, Phaethon, &c., round the title: and is an inserted leaf. Signatures O and P are run into one. The date on the title appears to be that of the engraving, but as it was altered in the 2nd edition, though the plate is practically identical, it may be taken as the date of the book also. 13. ¬Masque.¬ THE | KING | _AND_ | QVEENES | Entertainement at | _RICHMOND_. | AFTER | THEIR DEPARTVRE | from OXFORD: In a Masque, | presented by the most Illustrious | PRINCE, | _PRINCE_ | CHARLES | Sept. 12. 1636. | [_motto_, then _line_.] Impr. 152: 1636: sm. 4^o: pp. 31 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _Tom.

The introduction explains that the Masque was almost impromptu as concerns the speaking, the dances in which Prince Charles took a share being the important part. They were composed by Simon Hopper and the music by Charles Coleman. Most of the written part is in the Wiltshire dialect “because most of the interlocutors were _Wilshire_ men.” 14. ¬Oxford¬ University.

Contents:—sign. a1^r, title: a2^r-e2^v, Latin poems: A1^r-D1^v, English poems to the queen: D2^r “The Printers vote”, an English poem by Leonard Lichfield. Poems by members of the University of Oxford on the birth of Princess Elizabeth, 28 Dec. 1635: in number about 142, of which 31 are English, 8 Greek, 2 Hebrew and 1 French. The number of English, and their separation from the rest is a mark of change. Most copies want the folded sheet (about 11 × 6 in.), which contains an engraved picture of a crown on a board supported at the four corners by a prince, two princesses and an infant in a cradle, all upon a large pedestal. Beneath are six Latin verses, beginning “Quam stabilis Quadrata,” and then “Ita augustissimo Domino suo vovet humillima ancilla Acad. Oxon.” Curiously the engraving cannot possibly be correct, since the place of prince James is taken by a female figure! Perhaps for this reason the plate was soon suppressed: it is certainly now very rarely found. 15. ——. FLOS | BRITANNICVS | VERIS NOVISSIMI | FILIOLA | CAROLO & MARJÆ | NATA | XVII MARTII Anno. | M.DC.XXXVI. | [_woodcut._] Impr. 151_b_: 1636: sm. 4^o: pp. [100], see below: p. (11) beg. _Non habeo_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within a border of woodcuts: (3–100) the poems. These are poems by members of the University of Oxford to celebrate the birth of the princess Anne, born 17 Mar. 1636/7 (died Dec. 1640). About two-thirds of the verses are to the king, chiefly in Latin (nine in Greek, one in Hebrew), the rest to the queen in English (two in French): there is one chronogram. The make-up of ordinary copies of the volume is extraordinary: there are no pages or signatures, but if A-O represent the sections the collation would be as follows, the figures in brackets indicating the mark affixed to the first page of some sections in the place where the pagination would naturally have been printed:—A^1, B^4, C^4 (1), D^4 (2), E^4 (3), F^4 (4), G^4 (6), H^4 (66: on 2nd leaf, 8). I^4 (5), K^1, L^4 (2), M^4, N^4 (1), O^4 (3)! The last page contains a poem by the printer, Leonard Lichfield. I have seen a copy in which a leaf following the title bore a printed Latin poem beginning “Quæ Te Mascula” referring to an emblem in diamond form displaying three lilies and two small and one large lion; which emblem occurs in a pen-and-ink drawing in the above copy on an inserted leaf preceding the title. 16. ¬Parsons¬, Bartholomew.

The dedication to the son shows that Parsons had known the father for 20 years. 17. ¬Pinke¬, William.

Lyford: 1–54, sermon on 1 Cor. xvi. 22: 1–66, 67–127, two sermons on Eph. vi. 24: (1), 1–62, (1), sermon on Luke xiv. 26. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 475, and 1630 P. 18. ¬Prideaux¬, John. “©Twenty Sermons.© Oxon 1636 qu.” [Bodl. 4to. P. 50. Th.] So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 268. There may have been a collected edition with some such title issued in 1636: but probably Wood refers to a collection without a general title, as contained in 40^o P. 50 Th. (a reference added however to Wood’s ©Athenæ© by dr. Bliss). For a real titlepage to the collection of twenty sermons and for details of the separate sermons, all of which are dated 1636, see 1637 P. 19. ¬Wouwerus¬, Joannes.

The work is a fanciful treatment of the subject of shadow. 20. ¬Zouche¬, Richard.

Bliss, iii. 511. This is a reissue and enlargement of 1629 Z and 1634 Z, carrying the scheme further: it was completed in 1640 and 1650, and several parts have been reprinted. The signatures weld the three parts of the present volume into one. ⁂ The Almanacs by Booker and Wyberd, which bear 1637 on the titlepage, and are treated under that year, may have been issued late in 1636. 1637. 1. ¬Barlow¬, bp. Thomas. _PIETAS IN PATREM_, | OR | A FEW TEARES VPON | THE LAMENTED DEATH OF | HIS MOST DEARE, AND LOVING | Father RICHARD BARLOW, late of | _Langill_ in _VVestmooreland_, who dyed | _December_ 29 Ann. 1636. | [_line_] | _By_ THOMAS BARLOW _Master of Arts_, | _Fellow of_ Queenes Coll. _in_ Oxon: _and_ | _eldest sonne of his deceased father_. | [_line, motto, woodcut._] Impr. 119: 1637: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 16 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _To the sad_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) Τοῦ Παλλαδᾶ εἰς Θάνατον, a four-line Greek epigram, beg. Σῶμα πάθος ψυχῆς: 1–16, English poems, five by T. Barlow, seven by relations and friends. Rare. Barlow’s second poem describes his dream of his father’s death at the very time of its occurrence, though he did not know of the illness. The impression was strong enough to wake him. 2. ¬Bense¬, Petrus.

Contents:—pp. (1–2) not seen: (3) title: (5–8) dedication to the University of Oxford: 1–72, the work. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 624. This is not a formal grammar, but rather a discussion of the resemblances and differences of the languages treated in points of grammar and syntax. 3. ¬Booker¬, John. ¤ALMANACK¤: | _Sivè_ | ¤Prognosticon Astrologicum¤, | & Diarium Meteorologicum, | _Vel_ | Spec¤ulum Anni¤ | _M.

A1^r title, within border: A1^v-A4^r, preliminary notes: A4^v-B8^r, the Almanac: B8^v-C8^v, astrological notes and prognostications, with a chronogram. John Booker was a prolific Almanac maker: his ©Almanac and Prognostication© was issued from 1631 to 1649: his ©Celestial Observations© from 1651 to 1662, and the ©Telescopium© from 1659 to 1676, but the dates may be capable of extension, and as Booker died in 1667, the ©Telescopium© must have been carried on by a successor under his name. Only this one issue was printed at Oxford, since the Stationers’ Company bought out the University’s right of printing this and certain other kinds of book in March 1636/7, see 1636 L, and _Booker_, _Wyberd_ below. The underlined words in the title are printed in red, as well as much of the woodcut border (which bears the signs of the zodiac, the royal arms, and an open book), the words “Oxford,” “to the famous Universitie. 1637.” in the imprint, and many words in the text. The same astrological woodcut occurs as in the Wyberd, but in a more injured state, showing that Wyberd had precedence in point of date. Booker’s Almanac for 1636 was printed at Cambridge. 4. ¬Brerewood¬, Edward.

See 1628 B, 1631 B (of which this is a reprint), Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 140. The signatures connect the two divisions of this work. 5. ¬Burgersdicius¬, Francon.

This is perhaps the last separate edition of this work. Buridan, who lived in the fourteenth century, was a disciple of the English philosopher Occam. 7. ¬Bythner¬, Victorinus. ¤TABVLA DIRECTORIA.¤ | IN QVA | ¤TOTVM ΤΟ ΤΕΧΝΙΚΟΝ LINGVƤ | Sanctæ, ad amussim delineatur. | QuAM | ...

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 675. These are three rare sheets printed on the recto only and intended to be pasted together, the two lower about 14 in. high by 18½ in. wide, the upper one about 7 × 18½ in. The two lower ones contain in five columns a Hebrew grammar in nine divisions, the upper one “Chaldaismi & Syriacismi,” between which is the title, and below them the preface “Lectori benevolo.” The colophon is at the end of the last column. The underlined words in the above title are in red, as well as a few other words, including a chronogram. 8. ¬Carpenter¬, Nathanael. PHILOSOPHIA | LIBERA, | [&c.]: see 1636 C. Clement of Rome. References to a supposed edition of Clemens Romanus in 1637, a reprint of the edition of 1633, are due to a confusion: the 1633 edition alone exists. 9. ¬Comenius¬, Johannes Amos (Komensky). CONATVVM | COMENIANORVM | PRAELVDIA | EX BIBLIOTHECA _S. H._ | [_device._] Impr. 72: 1637: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 52 + [6]: p. 11 beg. _Tertiò, portento_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p.

This we learn from an appendix by Comenius to the reprint of this Oxford edition in vol. i. of his ©Opera didactica omnia© (Amst. 1657), vol i. col. 403, cf. 454. 10. ¬Cowper¬, Thomas. ¤COWPER¤ 1637. | AN | ¤ALMANACK¤ | for the yeare of our | ¤Lord 1637¤. | [_line_] | ¤Being the first after leap-yeare.¤ | [_line_] | ¤Together with some astrologicall rules¤ | for the prediction of weather for each | day in the yeare: with the principall High-wayes in _England_ and | _Wales_. | [_line_] | ¤Referred to the famous Universitie and¤ | ¤Citie of Oxford;¤ but may indiffe-|rently serve for any other place within | this Kingdome. | [_line_] | ¤_By_ THOMAS COWPER.¤ | [_line, motto, line._] Impr. 68_d_: 12^o: Pica Roman: title within a border of lines and woodcuts.

The underlined words in the title above are printed in red ink, as well as “Oxford,” and “the famous Universitie. 1637” in the imprint, and some words in the “Vulgar Notes” on the back of the title. 11. ¬Deliciae deliciarum.¬ DELITIÆ | DELITIARVM | SIVE | EPIGRAMMATVM | optimis quibusq; hujus & no-|vissimi seculi poetis in amplissimâ | illâ Bibliothecâ | BODLEIANA, | Et penè omninò alibi extantibus | ἀνθολογία, in unam corollam connexa | [_line_] | Operâ AB.

Wright took his M.A. degree on April 22, 1637. Unfortunately there is no indication of the source of each epigram, and almost all the authors are continental poets. 12. ¬Fitz-Geffry¬, Charles.

The note before the Errata shows that the author saw no proofs of his book for “the Authors coppy being not so legible as we could have wished, we were forc’d to transcribe it in his absence, and by this means these grosser escapes hapned.” 14. ¬Jackson¬, Thomas.

Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 26. In the copy seen the title is an inserted leaf, the first leaf having been torn out: perhaps this is accounted for by the title given by Wood “History of Tithes: or Tithes vindicated ...”, and the running head line, which is still “The history of Tithes.” Early copies may have this older title. 16. ——. “Sermon on Ephes. 6. 12, 13.

This is a collection of twenty sermons by dr. Prideaux from 1614, several preached before the king or court, and several preached at Oxford: those delivered at the consecration of Exeter College Chapel and about Gowrie’s conspiracy being of considerable interest. All, except the second (which is grouped with the first) and the eleventh, have separate titlepages, and are often cited as separate editions, but the signatures run throughout the volume. Sign. Y consists of one leaf only, the other three having been obviously intended for a one-leaf title and two-leaf dedication of the sermon following (no. x in the above divisions, really the eleventh sermon), but apparently they were accidentally omitted. Some were already printed, those before printed at Oxford being nos. i (see 1615 P), ii (see 1614 P), and ix (see 1625 P): and nos. i-vii at least, were printed separately at London in 1621. Collections of these sermons are often found without the general title and in a confused order. 18. ¬Rous¬, Francis. _ARCHÆOLOGJÆ_ | ATTICÆ | LIBRI TRES. | THREE BOOKES OF THE | ATTICK Antiquities. | CONTAINING | The description of the Citties glory, govern-|ment, division of the People, and Townes with-|in the _Athenian_ Territories, their Religi-|on, Superstition, Sacrifices, account of | their Yeare, as also a full relation | of their Iudicatories. | [_line_] | By FRANCIS ROuS Scholler of _Merton_ | Colledge in _Oxon_. | [_line_: then _motto_ from Aristides, in Greek and English.] Impr. 160_a_: 1637: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 149 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _in height_, 101 _which standing_: Pica Roman.

Barlow edited it, and added the Exercitationes de Deo (see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iv. 336), which were reissued in 1658. The edition of 1638 is simply a reissue of the sheets of the 1637 edition, with different imprint and date on the first titlepage, and “Meta®-®” on the first titlepage altered to “Meta-.” Some woodcut diagrams occur in the Exercitationes: in which also the sections change from eights to fours. 20. ——. “157.

Backer mentions doubts whether the author of this work is identical with the Jesuit who bore the same names. The book contains Latin epigrams on the Cæsars, and miscellaneous poems. The occurrence of Herbert’s poem in the volume is singular. I have seen a copy in which the first line of the title contained “R. P.” only, which probably indicates an early issue. 23. ¬V[erneuil]¬, I[ohn].

The second edition of this work was issued, doubled in size, in 1642. The author was under-librarian at the Bodleian, and had compiled this list for private use: nearly all the books referred to in the work have their Bodleian references affixed, the arrangement being in the order of the books of the Bible, the Apocrypha being excluded. The fact that some of the books were not in the library “stirred up some well-wishers ... who deprived themselves to furnish this Place with some bookes that were wanting” (_Preface of_ 2_nd edition_), among whom was Robert Burton. 24. ¬Whear¬, Degory.

This appears to be the first and last Almanac issued by Wyberd. See the note under _Booker_, above in this year. Besides the words underlined in the above title, the words “Oxford,” and “famous Universitie. 1637.” in the imprint, are printed in red: as well as other words in the text of the book. There is an astrological woodcut of a man on sign. A4^r. 1638. 1. ¬Achilles¬ Tatius.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) verses “On the Frontispiece.”: (3) an engraved title, see below: (5–6) “The Translator to the Reader”: (7–24) complimentary verses by friends of the translator, whose initials and Christian name are incidentally mentioned: 1–255, the book. See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 301. The translator of the Τὰ κατὰ Λευκίππην καὶ Κλειτοφῶντα was Anthony Hodges, of New College. Wood refers to an impression of this book in 1638 without the commendatory verses: this would be no doubt an early issue. The engraved title is a fine one by W. Marshall, in which the words of the ordinary title, with impr. 173, are on a shell held by two mermaids; behind is a storm-tossed ship with the two lovers on board and Cupid in the stern, with the city of “Alexandria” in the background. This title was probably intended to be printed on the second leaf of the first section: but as it is, the frontispiece is on an inserted leaf, and the true second leaf is torn out. This book seems to be still the only English translation of the romance, except that in Bohn’s library. 2. ¬Bancroft¬, John, bp. of Oxford.

Contents:—exactly as in the 1632 edition, except that the “Synopsis of the first partition” precedes the poem “ad librum suum”, the “analysis of the third partition” occupies pp. 399–401, and the partition extends to p. 723: while there is no colophon, there being no p. (10) at end. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 653 and 1621 B. There is a note before the _Errata_ in which the author says that the book was begun to be printed not long before at Edinburgh “sed à typographis nostris illicò suppressa, Londini mox illorum cum venia protelata, Oxoniæ demum perfecta.” Accordingly signn. A-X x are not Oxford printing, but presumably from Edinburgh type: at p. 347 begins Oxford printing, the prefatory matter being also Oxford work. It would appear that some Edinburgh printers began a reprint, that the Oxford printers interfered and suppressed it, that with their consent the part printed in Scotland was not destroyed but _protelata_, prolonged, given a further lease of life, at London, and finally brought to Oxford and completed. The woodcuts and details of printing point to the division being before p. 347. The signatures of the first sheet are _nil_, § 2, §, § 2, § 3, _nil_ (!), not counting the engraved title which should occur between the first and second leaf. 4. ¬Bythner¬, Victorinus.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 675. This is the first edition, the second being published at Cambridge in 1645 (the author having moved thither when the Civil War broke out) and afterwards several times, separately or with the ©Lyra Prophetica©, in London. This is an advance on 1631 B. 5. ¬C[aussin]¬, N[icolas]. _THE_ | uNFORTuNATE | POLITIQUE, | First written in French | By C. N. | _Englished by_ | G.

(1) title, within a border of woodcut ornaments: (3–7) “To the courteous and ingenious reader”: 1–218, the work, bearing as a second title “The Life of Herod.” This is a translation of the 4th book of the well-known ©Cour Sainte© of Nicolas Caussin the Jesuit (_d._ 1651), entitled “De l’Impieté des Cours” or “Le Politique malheureux”, omitting the first few words: and is in fact a biography of Herod the Great, with reflections on his conduct. The translator gives no clue to his own name, but mentions the author as “the judicious and eloquent Causinus.” The ©Cour Sainte© (first issued in 1624) was translated as a whole into English in 1631 and into Italian, German, Spanish, and other languages, but this 4th part seems never to have been issued separately in French (in Italian 1634, &c.): and this Oxford volume though not rare has escaped even the eye of Backer and his editor Sommervogel (1891), probably because concealed under initials. Some copies have 1639 on the titlepage. 6. ¬Chillingworth¬, William.

Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines: (3–7) epistle dedicatory to the king: (8) imprimaturs by the Vicechancellor and the two Theological Professors at Oxford, one dated 14 Oct. 1637: (9–31) “The Preface to the author of Charity maintained [M. Wilson] with an answer to his pamphlet entituled a Direction to N. N.”: 1–413, the book, which incorporates most of the text of the book answered: (1) Errata. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 91. This book (which Wood erroneously states was issued in 1636, and which was republished in 1664, 1674, 1684, 1687, 1704, 1719, 1727, 1742, 1752, 1820, 1838, 1845, 1846), was the effect and cause of considerable controversy, Chillingworth having recently reverted from Roman Catholicism to Protestantism, and the form of the book being that of an answer to part 1 of M. Wilson’s ©Mercy and truth or Charity maintayn’d© (1634), itself an answer to Potter’s ©Want of Charity© (see 1633 P). The controversy is well described in the Dict. of National Biography. There was a suspicion that Wilson obtained advance copies of the sheets of this book as it went through the press, see Laud’s History of the Chancellorship under the year, where are also given the archbishop’s views about the advisability of Chillingworth answering the second part also of Wilson’s book. The present volume is headed “Part i.” throughout. The issue of this volume with an imprint showing that it was published in London is said to have some slight changes, but they are not easily to be found, and in general the two issues appear to be identical. The description of the Errata and their cause shows that it was the custom, at least at Oxford, for authors to revise their proofs—which has been recently denied. 7. ¬C[roke]¬, dr. Ch[arles].

The monument still exists at Amersham, and is described in Lipscomb’s ©Buckinghamshire©, iii. 169: the burial was on 23 Aug. 1636. The preface explains that “these papers have lien two years in Cumberland in a Manuscript, which privacie not satisfying the great affection of Noble Parents towards their deceased Son, they are now come to ... view”. The ten copies of verses are in Latin and English, the most considerable being “a Dialogue” in verse by Paul Solomeaux a Frenchman. 8. ¬Florus¬, Lucius Julius. L.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 667. Ten books of Jackson’s Commentary on the Creed were published in 1613–1654, this being the 9th and the last issued in the author’s lifetime, he dying in 1640. This part was published (according to Wood) in 1628 and 1633 in London, and now in Oxford. Every page is within lines. 13. ¬Longinus¬, Dionysius.

This is a reissue of the sheets of 1636 L with the changes noted above. Some copies omit the preface by Langbaine and with it the blank sheet before the inserted (engraved) title.

Bliss, ii. 871, but the incident which was the occasion of the sermon is related on col. 870. Matthew died on 29 Mar. 1628, and this sermon was intended to disprove Campian’s statement that Matthew practically confessed that if one read and believed the fathers he would become a Papist. The sermon was originally delivered at Oxford on 9 Oct. 1581, but this is certainly the first printed edition. 15. ¬Oxford¬, Christ Church.

These poems on lord Bayning’s death at Bentley hall in Essex are all by Christ Church men, 19 in English, 11 in Latin. William Cartwright, Robert Burton, John Fell, Martin Llewellin and Jasper Mayne are among the writers. Lord Bayning took his degree from Christ Church in 1633, but was only 24 years old at his death, when the title became extinct. 16. ¬Oxford¬, University. _Musarum Oxoniensium_ | CHARISTERIA | PRO | SERENISSIMA | _REGINA_ | MARIA, | RECENS | E NIXVS LABORIOSI | discrimine receptâ. | [_woodcut._] Impr. 151 _b_: 1638: sm. 4^o: pp. [88], signn.

These are verses to congratulate the Queen on her safe delivery and condole with her for the loss of the infant princess, who seems to have lived only a few hours. The reference is apparently to the birth of the princess Catherine (_b._ and _d._ 29 Jan. 1638/9), but the ordinary pedigrees and histories seem not to notice this event. The poems are in Latin and English, except three Greek and two French. The printer (Lichfield) contributes a poem at the end. The signatures show the hasty method of printing. 17. ——. ¤STATVTA¤ | _Selecta è Corpore_ | _Statutorum_ | ¤VNIVERSITATIS¤ | OXON, | _¤Vt in promptu & ad ma¤-_|num sint, quæ magis ad usum, | (_præcipuè Iuniorum_) | facere videntur: | [_line_, then _woodcut_, then _line_.] Impr. 179: 1638: (eights) 16^o: pp. [8] + 213 + [15], and two folding plates: p. 11 beg. _libros de Cœlo_, 201 _non priùs_: Pica Roman.

This is the first edition of the selected Statutes, the beginning of a long series, and was compiled by Thomas Crossfield of Queen’s College. Other editions were issued in 1661, and with the title “Parecbolæ” in 1671, 1674, 1682, 1693, 1705, 1710, 1721, 1729, 1740, 1756, 1771, 1784, 1794, 1808, 1815, 1820, 1828, 1830, 1835, 1838, 1840, 1841, 1842, 1843, 1845, 1846, and no doubt in some other years, especially after 1830: the book was in fact reprinted whenever the stock in hand was exhausted. Wharton’s ©Second Volume of the Remains of ... William Laud ...©, under the date, proves that it was issued in Jan. 1637/8. A small folded sheet “Indiculus Statutorum”, a plan of them arranged by subjects and bearing the signature A2, should follow the titlepage, and in some copies the large ©Encyclopædia©, described in 1635 O, is inserted to face p. 16 or 20: but the book can hardly be pronounced imperfect, if this plate is wanting. The signatures of the prefatory matter are peculiar: the first two leaves (blank, and title) form a section of themselves, and also the next two, not counting the folded leaf, and this even in large paper copies. So too sign. Q^6 is divided into two sets of two and four leaves respectively! The 4th leaf of P^4 is presumably blank and perhaps always torn off. The underlined words in the above title are printed in red, as well as “Excusa cum Licentiâ,” and “pro Guil: Webb,” in the imprint. 18. ¬Ranchinus¬, Gulielmus.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 565, and the ©Retrospective Review© vi. 61. The volume was posthumous (the author having died in March 1634/5) and was edited by his brother Robert Randolph of Christ Church, Oxford. There are twelve sets of complimentary verses, in Latin and English, by the editor, Owen Feltham, and others. Editions of the poems and plays were published in 1640 (Oxford), 1643 (London), 1652 (London), 1664 (London) and 1668 (Oxford): both the last call themselves the 5th edition. The signatures run through the entire work. 20. ¬Reusner¬, Nicolas. NICOLAI REuSNERI LEORINI | IC. Comitis Palat.

This sermon, which seems to have been delivered on Nov. 5, 1638, dashed the hopes which the Roman Catholics seem to have entertained of the conversion of Taylor to their faith. Wood asserts (_ut supra_, 782) that “several things were put in[to the sermon] against the Papists by the then vice-chanc.”, dr. Accepted Frewen.

This translation of Juan de Valdés’ work from the Italian is by Nicholas Ferrar of Little Gidding (_d._ 4 Dec. 1637), and it is interesting to find that there is a copy of this book in Little Gidding binding (Quaritch’s General Catalogue of Books, vol. i. (1887), no. 5929: £4). There was an edition issued at Cambridge in 1646. 1639. Bacon, sir Francis.

The first three parts of Balzac’s Letters were printed at London in 1634 (part 1, translated by William Tyrwhitt) and 1638 (parts 2 and 3, translated by sir Richard Baker). The present volume is a venture by the printer, who has prefixed some letters, papers, and a Latin poem all connected with the quarrel between Balzac and the Jesuit Franciscus Garassus, in which Louis xiii intervened as a conciliator. There is an engraved title by W. Marshall, in which kings and theologians do honour to Balzac, the title being “A new collection of Epistles of Mons: de Balzac, being the fourth and last volume. Newly translated”, with impr. 192. The range of Balzac’s letters is from 1631 to 1637. 2. ¬Bird¬, John.

The sheets of this work, omitting the prefatory matter and with a different style of title and imprint, were reissued at Oxford in 1641. The author divides grammar into Rudiment (grammar proper, divided into Elementary and Accidentary) and Regiment (syntax). 3. [¬Cartwright¬, William].

This is a reprint of the 1627 or 1631 Antwerp edition, being itself the third. The scope of the work may be gathered from the definition of “Meteora” as being phenomena produced by vapour (rain, &c.), or by exhalation (fiery, as lightning and falling stars: or non-fiery, as winds), or by both (clouds). Fromondus lived from 1587 to 1654, chiefly at Louvain. 8. ¬Gardyner¬, dr. Richard.

This is the first Oxford edition of the ©Imitation© and the only edition of dr. Page’s revision. The reviser, who was the bp. of Winchester’s chaplain, has removed such passages as would offend a Protestant. The preface is largely an exhortation to unity among the churches. 16.

In 1637/8 he became a member of Exeter College, and in 1639 incorporated at Cambridge: after which he is lost sight of, except that he is said to have been reconverted to Roman Catholicism, and to have gone abroad. The five “fabulæ” are “De universali Episcopo,” “de infallibilitate papæ,” “de Purgatorio,” “de Transubstantiatione eucharistica,” and “de invocatione Sanctorum.” Wescombe is a Somerset and Devon name. 1640. 1. ¬Bacon¬, sir Francis, Viscount St. Alban’s.

See 1633 B.

Marshall (9⅝ × 5¾ in.) bears the title on a sheet suspended between two obelisks representing Oxford and Cambridge: above it are two globes and “INSTAVR.MAG.P.I.”: below, a ship in full sail and the imprint: the whole is fully described in the British Museum ©Catalogue of Prints and Drawings©, Div. 1, vol. 1 (1870), p. 116 (no. 153).

Januarii 1639.”, and signed “Thomas Sixesmith”: (13–16) “Index tractatuum, capitum, et quæstionum ...”: 1–245, the four treatises, on the first four books of the Ethics. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 141. The original MS. (finished 27 Oct. 1586) is now part of MS. (Queen’s coll. Oxford no. 218). The method of this commentary or rather analysis is scholastic and formal. The editor says that he rescued the original MS. from a “rurale musæum,” when it was “pulvere situque squalidum, & tantum non sepultum.” The author died in 1613. It is curious that in Moss’s ©Manual of classical bibliography© (Lond., 1825, vol. i, p. 157) this book is called “Westerman, Commentaria in Ethica Aristotelis. Oxon. 4to. 1640,” with a reference to Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 141. The explanation is that _Westerman_ heads the column in Wood’s work, because the account of William Westerman follows Brerewood on that column: but the ascription deceived even so acute a bibliographer as the late professor Chandler in his List of editions of the Nicomachean Ethics (Oxf. 1878). 3. ¬Buridanus¬, Johannes.

Oxon.©, ii. 422, and 1628 C. The present edition closely resembles the London ones of 1633 and 1638. Probably the “N. H.” who edited the next article below, edited this also, Carpenter having died in 1628. The work is evidently intended to be read with a view to the political circumstances of the time, under the disguise of dealing with “a sacred tragedy” from Old Testament history. 5. ——.

This is a reprint of the Lond. 1633 edition. The preface gives some valuable biographical notes about Carpenter, who died in 1628, and was the editor’s tutor and “neere Affine” at Exeter college. It states with reference to the present book that “had not a kinsman’s (Io.

Büssenmecheri”: 9–61, 62–81, 82–220, the commentarioli: (1–44) “Index rerum et nominum memorabilium.” This is an anonymous history of Britain from the earliest times. The editor, M(atthew) H(unt), does not mention the fact, that an undated edition was printed at London by Henry Bynneman (who published from 1566 to 1587), with the title “De rebus gestis Britanniæ commentarioli tres. Ad Ornatissimum Virum M. Henricum Broncarem Armigerum E.S.”, from which it has been conjectured that the author’s initials were “E.S.” The first words of the text are “Britannia est Insula natura triquetra.” The name of Clain is given in the British Museum catalogue as the author of an Amberg edition of 1603, and in Thomas Thorpe’s Catalogue of books (1851) p. 51 an edition printed at Hamburg in 1598 is mentioned under the same name, but I can find no account of the author, who probably lived at Amberg. Some have ascribed the book to John Clapham, who published an English ©History of England© till the coming of the Saxons, in 1602 and 1606. 8. ¬Ferrand¬, Jacques. ¤ΕΡΩΤΟΜΑΝΙΑ¤ | _OR_ | A TREATISE | Discoursing of the Essence, | Causes, Symptomes, Prog-|nosticks, and Cure of | ¤LOVE,¤ | _OR_ | _EROTIQVE_ | ¤_MELANCHOLY_¤ | [_line_] | _Written by_ | ¤IAMES FERRAND¤ | D^r _of Physick_. | [_line_].

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 350, where the translator from the French into English is stated to be Edmund Chilmead. The original French edition was published at Toulouse in 1612, under the title _Traité de l’essence et guérison de l’amour_, and at Paris in 1623 as _De la maladie d’amour, ou melancholie erotique_. If Robert Burton was acquainted with the first edition of this book, as he well may have been, there can be little doubt that he has taken or imitated the general method and treatment of the subject, in his _Anatomy of Melancholy_: but the French author is surpassed on his own ground. The research is greater and the felicities of language more numerous and striking in Burton, while the plan is also further and distinctively elaborated. There is no mention of Burton’s book in the poems prefixed to this translation. The words underlined in the above title are printed in red, as well as “Oxford,” and “sold by Edward Forrest . 1640.” in the imprint. 9. ¬Fletcher¬, John.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) “Prologue”: 1–67, the play; (1) “Epilogue.” This was Fletcher’s unaided composition, before the close of 1624, when it was twice performed at court. The underplot is said to be based on one of Cervantes’ “Novelas Exemplares.” See the ©Dict. of Nat. Biogr.© under Fletcher, p. 307, col. 1.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 31. The author died before 1650, not, as Foster’s ©Alumni Oxonienses© asserts, as late as 1699. The editor, who is known to be Philip Papillon of Exeter college, declares that the play is here printed without the author’s knowledge and against his modesty. The lines relating to Shakespeare, which have perhaps only been reprinted in Pickering and Chatto’s Catalogue of books, nos. 70–72 (June 1893), p. 15, are:— “But sad Melpomene ...

There is no bibliography of the numerous works of Erycius Puteanus, but the ©Suada Attica© was first published at Louvain in 1615, and the ©Palæstra© in 1611. They contain orations and exercises delivered at Milan and Louvain. The _Palæstra Bonæ Mentis_ is properly a hall at Louvain, where some of these were delivered, and in another sense a literary club which met there for debate, recitations and the like.

Contents:—p. (1) an engraved title, see below: (3) title, as above, within double lines: (5–26) twelve poems on the author and book: 1–134, the poems: (1) title of the Muses Looking-glass, almost as in 1638 R, with impr. 174: 1–87, (1), the play: (2) title of Amyntas, nearly as in 1638 R, but “By T.R.”, with impr. 174: (4) “Dramatis Personæ”: (6–7), 1–101, the play. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 565, and 1638 R. The “enlargement” in this edition is not evident. The engraved title bears a bust of Randolph on a pedestal, with Philosophia and Poesis doing him honour, and a celestial sphere and Pegasus above. On the pedestal are the words “Poems by Tho : Randolph. The 2^d Edition much Enlarged.”, and below is impr. 196. Each of the three parts is separately paged, but the two plays are linked by the signatures, while the title alone connects the plays with the poems. The Cambridge 1640 edition of “The Jealous Lovers”, a comedy by Randolph, is not infrequently found bound with this volume, but has no necessary connexion with it. 17. ¬R[ogers]¬, H[ugh].

(1) title, within double bounding lines except at foot (single line): 1–43, 19 poems, of which four are in Latin. Very rare. The only copy I have seen of this privately printed book is in the British Museum. The marriage (in 1640) was between Anne daughter of sir Edward Baynton, of Bromham (_d._ 1657), and Hugh Rogers esq. of Cannington. The poems are clearly by friends and relations of both parties, but are signed only with initials. A copy of the book was in the Heber sale (pt. viii, p. 49). 18. ¬Saints’ Legacies.¬ THE | SAINTS | LEGACIES, | OR | A COLLECTION OF | CERTAINE PROMISES | OVT OF THE WORD | OF GOD. | Collected for private use, but | published for the comfort of | Gods people. | _Whereunto is now added the Saints_ | _Support in times of trouble._ | THE 6.

This is a rare and curious book: rare, inasmuch as no ordinary library catalogue or bibliography contains any mention of any edition or copy of it; and curious, as having its two parts—which are indissolubly joined by the signatures and sections—printed by the same printer for two different London publishers, R. Royston and S. Enderby. We must suppose these two to have ventured proportionate parts in the book. 19. ¬Sanderson¬, Robert. LOGICÆ | _ARTIS_ | COMPENDIVM. | Editio Quarta. | [_line_] | Authore ROB.

For the author, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 275. The sheets of this work were reissued in 1650 at London, with a new title ©Pharamus, sive Libido vindex, Hispanica tragædia©, but neither Wood nor his editors have been aware of this earlier edition. Both were anonymous, and the direct evidence for the authorship (which need not be doubted) is difficult to find. Bp. Barlow wrote the author’s name on the title of his copy of ©Pharamus©. The poems imply that the play had been written some years before 1640: the author matriculated at St John’s College, Oxford, in June 1634. 21. ¬Tipping¬, William. “©A Return of Thankfulness for the unexpected Recovery out of a dangerous Sickness.© Oxon. 1640.

Bliss, iii. 511, where it is stated that the De Jure Sacro, Militari and Maritimo, were issued together. In the Leyden reprint of 1652 the De jure sacro is rather shorter than the other two. It does not seem to have found its way into the Oxford or London libraries which have published their catalogues. Periodical. The ©Quaestiones in Vesperiis© and ©Quaestiones in Comitiis© (see Andrew Clark’s ©Register of the University of Oxford©, vol. ii. pt. i. [1887], p. 169) were often printed. 1602. The earliest I have seen are the theological “Quæstiones (Christo propitio) in Vesperijs discutiendæ, _Iul._ 10. 1602,” followed by some belonging to the Comitia, and some Law _quaestiones_ belonging to both, and by a specimen of dr. John King’s treatment of his three _quaestiones_, in Latin verse: the whole forming a small sheet of 16 pages, with the last five blank. 1605. The ©Quaestiones ... in Comitiis ... coram ... Rege ... Aug.... 1605© were printed in folio sheet form, as was invariably the case in later years, occupying in this year four pages. Whether this issue was exceptional or not, is not clear. 1608. In this year at latest begins the series of ordinary folio sheets of _quaestiones_: of which examples have been seen for the years 1608, 1614, 1618, 1619, 1622, 1627, 1628, 1629, 1632, 1634, 1635, 1639, 1640, and intermittently until at least 1693.

Of the Pliny Dibdin states that one George Smith passed it on to Van Damme, from whom Askew bought it for fifteen guineas. With respect to the Lystrius, it appears that the “Mr. Dent” who purchased it at the Askew sale was an agent or pseudonym of Mr. Alchorne. The volume bears a manuscript note pretending to be from “i. Korsellis” at Haarlem in 1471, stating that the book came to him from his brother Frederick. About 1513. P. 11. _Add_:— ¬Syrretus¬, Antonius.

Procter in New College Library at Oxford, in Aug. 1891, and now marked “Auct. V. 16,” fol. 3. The verso of the title is occupied with a woodcut of the arms of Henry VIII, with supporters, two angels with scroll, &c. The second leaf is marked A 2, and contains a dedication and certain definitions, all part of the Additiones Mauritii. The book was no doubt printed in London, but sold in Oxford by Henricus Jacobi, who died in the latter city towards the end of 1514, intestate, see p. 273. From an interesting account of Jacobi in ©Bibliographica©, pt. I (1894), by Mr. E. G. Duff, it appears that Jacobi, after publishing in London from 1505 to 1512, came to Oxford in 1512 or 1513 (see pp. 95, 112 of the account). This entry and that of 1506 should strictly be in a list by themselves, being neither “lost” nor “fictitious.” 1585.

P. 17. ¬Parsons¬, Robert, (2nd entry, no. 6). _Add at end_:— An explanation of this reprint will be found in Arber’s ©Transcript of the Stationers’ Registers© II (1875), p. 793 (a petition from N. Newton, E. Bollifant, and others, in the winter of 1585/6), from which it appears that John Wight, printer, of London, who had entered a copy of his edition of the book at Stationers’ Hall on 28 Aug. 1584, sent his son to Oxford to buy up the whole of Barnes’s reprint: which was done. But Barnes promptly printed “two ympressions more,” of which the present volume is no doubt one. Possibly the preceding art. is the other re-impression, and Wight effectually suppressed the whole first edition. 1586. P. 17. _Insert_:— ¬Brasbridge¬, Thomas, of Magdalen college, Oxford.

The words are within a border of woodcuts, the outside measurement of the printed border being 1–15/16 × 3–3/16 in. 1594. P. 36. ¬Beacon.¬ P. 1 bears “¶j”, and is therefore not wholly blank. P. 37. ¬Powel¬ (no. 5). _Add at end_:— See 1631 P. 1597. P. 42. ¬Agatharchides.¬ Professor Bywater has pointed out that the extracts from Agatharchides and Memnon are from an earlier printed edition of them, and not directly from Photius’s ©Bibliotheca©, which was first printed in 1601. Had the matter been taken from a MS. of Photius, the editor would no doubt have claimed the honour, whereas he claims credit only for the new translation into Latin.

The first is _Politia Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ cum iure divino non pugnat_, followed by short Latin, Greek, and Hebrew poems. The second is followed by Latin, “Caldaica,” and “Syrica” poems, the last being written in MS. The third is followed by Latin, Arabic, and Æthiopic poems, the last two being filled in in MS. The Hebrew is in Pica type. For Brett, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 611: he took the degree of Bachelor of Divinity on 6 June, 1597.

This set of seven leaves is apparently an experiment to be used for indexing sermons or comments under the verse of the Bible to which they refer. They are blank tables in the form “Versus 1 [2, 3, &c. to 18] _Vid._ L. P. L. ” six times and then “_Vid._ P. L. ” Eighteen verses are on each page, and references to L(iber) P(agina) L(inea) were intended to be filled in. No Latin Bible of folio size of 1629, ‘30 or ‘31 seems to exist, so probably this was intended to be bound up with some earlier edition. The only copy known is in the British Museum in MS.

(Supplementary to, and corrective of, pp. 1–4.) The Oxford Press of the fifteenth century is a peculiarly interesting one. At present fifteen works are known to belong to it, ranging in date from “1468” (1478?) to 1486 (1486/7?). Not only is its origin quite independent, so far as is known, of Caxton’s printing, not only are new products of the press still from time to time discovered, but the battle which has been waged about the date of its establishment has made the “1468” book a veritable typographical battleground, and in Henry Bradshaw’s opinion a touchstone of intellectual acumen.

THE TYPE AND PRESS-WORK. Seven kinds of type were used, the use of which can be seen on p. 238. Facsimiles of all of them are given in plates II-V. These obviously divide the books into three groups. In the first group of three (“1468”–1479/80) only type no. 1 is used. In the second group of four (1480–82, Theodoric Rood) only types 2–3 are found. In the last group consisting of eight (1483–1486/7, T. Rood and Thomas Hunte) only types 4–7 are used, except that the peculiar black initial type (no. 3) is occasionally still used. The press was of course a wooden hand-screw one, which was at first employed to print one page at a time (Jerome), but after the first book two pages and perhaps later four were struck off together. The earliest printing press of which we have an engraving is as late as 1499/500 (see an article in ©Bibliographica©, 1894, no. 2), but there was great conservatism in detail, and from the early engravings and such researches as those which Blades, De Vinne, Talbot Reed, and others have made, we know many of the details of working in the earliest days. _Type_ 1. “1468”—1479/80. Character:—Cologne black. Body:—English, nearly (10 lines = 1–15/16 in. In modern English 10 lines = 1⅞ in.). Used in the Jerome, Aretinus and Aegidius, with no other. The “upper case” (to use a modern expression) consisted of at least 16 divisions, G, J, K, L, T, U, W, X, Y, Z not being used, and P seldom in the Jerome, H being there used for both H and P. This misuse is not found in the other two books. On the other hand there are two forms of C, E, N, and Q, both probably mixed in the same division. Q is in the Jerome almost always [reversed Q] (a peculiarity found in some ornamental MSS., from the convenience of extending the tail into the margin), in the Aretinus and Aegidius always Q: the letter is however identical in all three books, but being on a square body it is in the Jerome turned one quarter round. * * * * * The “lower case” consisted of at least 121 divisions. Of the simple unmodified letters k and z are wanting, and except in the Jerome j (but ij is found in all, colligated). There are two forms of p, r, and three of s, the two p’s and r’s being used indiscriminately, but the two s’s (final) and the ſ (initial and medial) having their proper use. Of colligated or modified letters there are at least eighty-three, and of other symbols eleven (for -et, &, con-, -us [two], id est, full stop, colon, ?). Of these 121 about 95 are common to all three. The signs of progress are as follows:— In the Jerome, contrasted with the other two, Q is except in two places [reversed Q], H is generally used as P, and I have not elsewhere noticed ḃ, or j used by itself. On the other hand in the two others, and not in the Jerome, are found an extra short t in which the perpendicular stroke hardly appears at all above the horizontal line, and eleven new forms, including fe, ff, and pp in colligation. The Q and P are rightly used, always. So too in the Jerome and Aretinus compared with the Aegidius we find that q is printed too high up, being in fact an inverted b, or, more accurately, an inverted broken h occasionally used for b. In the Jerome this is almost always the case, in the Aretinus as often as not, in the Aegidius hardly ever. It may be accidental that B and H and three minor modified letters are not found in the short Aegidius, that w (in wlt = vult) is only found in the Jerome, [·|·] (= id est) only in the Aretinus: but the occurrence of ؟ (= ?) and of printing in red ink _only_ in the Aegidius, is not insignificant. The relative order of the three may therefore be assumed to be as above indicated. _Origin of the type._ It may be taken as certain that as Caxton’s type is based on Bruges models, so the first Oxford type is ultimately derived from Cologne. Ulric Zel began printing there at least as early as 1466, and the general resemblance to his letters is clear. The likeness is still nearer when we follow Zel’s influence on Arnold ther Hoernen (Cologne, from 1470), Richard Paffroet of Cologne (Deventer, from 1477), and especially a little-known Cologne printer named Gerard ten Raem de Bercka, whose only dated book is of 1478. John of Westphalia (Alost and Louvain, from 1473) and Jacobus de Breda, a successor of Paffroet at Deventer, also supply similarities. In the case of Gerard we actually find, besides a close general similarity, the same misuse of H as P. Unfortunately no works printed by him, except the dated ©Modus Confitendi© and an undated ©Aesopus©, are at present known, so that it must not be assumed that 1478 is his earliest or only date. It is at present also unsafe to assume that Theodoricus Rood of Cologne who printed at Oxford in 1481–85 was the first Oxford printer, or ever used type no. 1. _Type_ 2 (1480?-1482). Character:—Narrow Dutch Black. Body:—English, nearly (10 lines = just less than 2 in.). Used in the Cicero (1480?: by itself), Latin Grammar (1481?: by itself), Ales (1481: chiefly, but with no. 3), and Latteburius (1482: chiefly, but with no. 3). The “upper case” consisted of 22 letters (J, K, U, W omitted). * * * * * The “lower case” consisted of at least 131 divisions. Of the simple letters j only occurs in colligation with i (as ij), and there are two forms of r, s (s, ſ) and y. There are about 93 colligated or modified letters. Unfortunately it is very difficult to institute a close comparison of the use of letters, so as to establish a proper order of the books, in consequence of the fragmentary state of the Milo and the Latin Grammar. The Milo can be clearly separated from the rest: the type is _spaced_, so that 10 lines = between 2–9/16 and 2¾ in., and ( ), ؟ (= ?), | (= comma) are found in it alone. In fact, but for the closest resemblance of actual type, the Milo would have to be regarded as printed elsewhere: and it cannot yet be said to be quite certainly printed at Oxford. The Ales and Latteburius are hardly to be distinguished in the use of type, but I have observed w only in the Latteburius and Grammar. The origin of the type is probably to be looked for near Cologne, from whence came Theodoricus Rood, the avowed printer of the Ales, and where a Theodoricus, who may probably be identified with Rood, printed in 1485–6 in a type smaller than, but similar to, the present one. The narrow stilted look of the letters and the semicircular sweep in front of the A are noticeable features. Henry Bradshaw detected a similarity between this type and that of Arnold ther Hoernen at Cologne. _Type_ 3 (1481–1485). Character:—Heading and initial Black, a large special type. Body:—2-line English, nearly (10 lines = 4 in. -, 10 lines of 2-line English = 3¾ in. +). Used only in the Ales (1481) and Latteburius (1482) (for the beginnings of chapters), in the Lyndewoode (1483?: head lines) and the Phalaris (1485: one line). The type is too sparsely used to enable us to describe the extent of the fount: but F, G, J, j, K, k, v, W, w, X, Y, Z, z are not found: I and g have two forms each; s, ſ are found; V is only used for the number five; and nine modified or conjoined letters occur. The peculiarity of the letters is a slipped or detached upper corner in B, L, N, which is found in 1506 in Quentell’s printing at Cologne, and may be compared with a smaller form used by Jean Veldener at Culenburg in 1484. _Type_ 4 (1483?-1485?). Character:—Small Dutch Black. Body:—Pica, nearly (10 lines = 1–11/16 + in., 10 lines in Pica = 1–11/16 – in.). This is the small type of the Anwykyll and Lyndewoode (both 1483?), the ordinary type of the Hampole, Logic, and Augustine (all 1483?), and the small type of the Lyndewoode (1483?), and is used in the Textus Alexandri (1485?). It is in many details similar to type 2, but may be readily distinguished by the o being broad and round in type 4, instead of narrow and oval as in type 2. There are two forms of S in type 4, and only one in type 2. The capitals are identical with those of type 6. The fount consisted of 25 capitals (J, V, W wanting, but two forms of D, S), 27 small letters (z wanting, but r, s double) and at least 95 modified or conjoined letters, in all not less than 147 types. Seven of the last class appear to be peculiar to the Logic, which may therefore be the latest of the group. _Type_ 5 (1483–1486/7). Character:—Small Caxtonian Black. Body:—Great Primer, nearly (10 lines = 2–5/16 in., 10 lines of Great Primer = 2⅜ in.). This is the larger type of the Anwykyll, the largest but one (ordinary large) of the Lyndewoode, the largest of the Augustine (all 1483?), the ordinary one of the Phalaris (1485), is used in the Textus Alexandri (1485?), and is the small type of the Festial (1486). The capitals are identical with those of type 7. There are 19 capitals (J, K, V, W, X, Y, Z wanting) and 28 small letters (j, z wanting, but d, g, r, s double), and at least 44 modified or conjoined letters, five of which seem to be peculiar to the Festial, as is also the use of k. In all there were not less than 91 types. _Type_ 6 (1483?). Character:—Large Dutch Black, a Church type going with no. 4. Body:—Pica, nearly (as no. 4). This is the larger type of the Hampole, the larger type (two half lines only) of the Logic, the larger type imbedded in the small type of the Lyndewoode, the intermediate type (one line) in the Augustine, and occurs in the Anwykyll (all 1483?). The capitals are identical with those of type 4. There are 22 capitals (J, K, V, W, Z wanting, but S double), 24 small letters (j, k, w, z wanting, but r, s double), and at least 16 modified or conjoined letters, in all not less than 62 types. Eight of the modified letters appear to be peculiar to the Hampole. _Type_ 7 (1485?–1486/7). Character:—Large Caxtonian Black, a Church type going with no. 5. Body:—Great Primer, nearly (as no. 5). This is used in the Textus Alexandri (1485?) and is the large type of the Festial (1486/7). The capitals are identical with those of type 5. To judge from the Festial, there are 18 capitals (J, K, R, V, W, X, Y, Z not being used), 24 small letters (k, w, y, z not found, but r, s double), and at least 9 modified letters, 51 in all. WATERMARKS. At present the study of watermarks has not reached a stage at which they are able to contribute scientific proofs of high importance, nor will any proof be ever deducible from them except the earliest possible occurrence of an undated issue, although probabilities of concurrent printing may be arrived at. Only some plain facts, therefore, will be stated with respect to their occurrence in the early Oxford books. If we take the first group (the Jerome, Aretinus and Aegidius), we find no less than 26, out of a total of 50. The Rufinus has seven (two shared with the others, one shared with the Aretinus only, one shared with the Latteburius, and three peculiar to itself). The Aretinus has 22, most of which are found in the later groups, but eight are peculiar to itself. The Aegidius has two only, common to the group. In the second group (Cicero, Ales, Latteburius, Latin Grammar) there appear to be 28, of which four are common to all the groups, one is shared only with group one, seven only with group three, and sixteen are peculiar. In the third group 38 occur, four of which are common to all the groups, nine are shared with the first alone, seven with the second alone, and eighteen are peculiar. SEPARATE BOOKS. 1. ¬Jerome¬ (“1468,” see p. 1). The treatise of Tyrannius Rufinus on the Apostles’ Creed, here ascribed to St. Jerome, was undoubtedly the first product of the Oxford press. It bears the date of 17 December, 1468, as the day on which the printing was finished. The colophon is clearly printed and bears no mark of haste, nor does it show the smallest trace of alteration in any of the copies seen by the present writer. Saturday is a reasonable day on which to conclude a work. A facsimile of the colophon is given in plate II. Unfortunately for the peace of the bibliographer two spectres have haunted this book, one of which “pulveris exigui jactu” has been laid, but the other is not yet gone, although there is a prospect of ultimate eviction. I. THE CORSELLIS FORGERY. In 1664 Richard Atkyns, a Gloucestershire gentleman of some position, and educated at Balliol, issued a book, the title of which sets forth with unusual clearness the object of the volume:—“The Original and Growth of Printing: Collected Out of History, and the _Records_ of this Kingdome. Wherein is also Demonstrated, That Printing appertaineth to the _Prerogative Royal_; and is a Flower of the _Crown_ of _England_. By Richard Atkyns, _Esq_:” (London, printed by John Streater, for the Author, MDCLXIV: quarto: pp. [12] + 24). Atkyns’s object was to recommend himself to Charles II’s attention by proving that printing was a royal privilege: and for this it was very desirable that there should be evidence of the introduction of the art into England under royal protection. The testimony of Stowe—corroborated by Howell—that “William Caxton of London, Mercer,” introduced it in 1471, was unsuitable. Atkyns, however, came upon a copy of the “1468” Oxford book, and “the same most worthy Person who trusted me with the aforesaid Book, did also present me with the Copy of a Record and Manuscript in _Lambeth_-House, heretofore in his Custody, belonging to the See (and not to any particular Arch-Bishop of _Canterbury_); the substance whereof was this (though I hope, for publique satisfaction, the Record it self, in its due time, will appear).” Then ensues the following story:— _Thomas Bourchier_, Arch-Biſhop of _Canterbury_, moved the then King (_Hen._ the 6th) to uſe all poſſible means for procuring a Printing-Mold (for ſo ’twas there called) to be brought into this Kingdom; the King (a good Man, and much given to Works of this Nature) readily hearkned to the Motion; and taking private Advice, how to effect His Deſign, concluded it could not be brought about without great Secrecy, and a conſiderable Sum of Money given to ſuch Perſon or Perſons, as would draw off ſome of the Workmen from _Harlein_ in _Holland_, where _John Cuthenberg_ had newly invented it, and was himſelf perſonally at Work: ’Twas reſolv’d, that leſs then one Thouſand Marks would not produce the deſir’d Effect: Towards which Sum, the ſaid Arch-Biſhop preſented the King with Three Hundred Marks. The Money being now prepared, the Management of the Deſign was committed to Mr. _Robert Turnour_, who then was of the Roabs to the King, and a Perſon moſt in Favour with Him, of any of his Condition: Mr. _Turnour_ took to his Aſſiſtance Mr. _Caxton_, a Citizen of good Abilities, who Trading much into _Holland_, might be a Creditable Pretence, as well for his going, as ſtay in the _Low Countries_: Mr. _Turnour_ was in Diſguiſe (his Beard and Hair ſhaven quite off) but Mr. _Caxton_ appeared known and publique. They having received the ſaid Sum of One Thouſand Marks, went firſt to _Amſterdam_, then to _Leyden_, not daring to enter _Harlein_ it ſelf; for the Town was very jealous, having impriſoned and apprehended divers Perſons, who came from other Parts for the ſame purpoſe: They ſtaid till they had ſpent the whole One Thouſand Marks in Gifts and Expences: So as the King was fain to ſend Five Hundred Marks more, Mr. _Turnour_ having written to the King, that he had almoſt done his Work; a Bargain (as he ſaid) being ſtruck betwixt him and two _Hollanders_, for bringing off one of the Work men, who ſhould ſufficiently diſcover and teach this New Art: At laſt, with much ado, they got off one of the Under-Workmen, whoſe Name was _Frederick Corſells_ (or rather _Corſellis_), who late one Night ſtole from his Fellows in Diſguiſe, into a Veſſel prepared before for that purpoſe; and ſo the Wind (favouring the Deſign) brought him ſafe to _London_. ’Twas not thought ſo prudent, to ſet him on Work at _London_, (but by the Arch-Biſhops meanes, who had been Vice-Chancellor, and afterwards Chancellor of the Univerſity of _Oxon_) _Corſellis_ was carryed with a Guard to _Oxon_; which Guard conſtantly watch’d, to prevent _Corſellis_ from any poſſible Escape, till he had made good his Promiſe, in teaching how to Print: So that at _Oxford_ Printing was firſt ſet up in _England_, which was before there was any Printing-Press, or Printer, in _France_, _Spain_, _Italy_, or _Germany_, (except the City of _Mentz_) which claimes Seniority, as to Printing, even of _Harlein_ it ſelf, calling her City, _Urbem Maguntinam Artis Tipographicæ Inventricem primam_, though ’tis known to be otherwiſe, that City gaining that Art by the Brother of one of the Workmen of _Harlein_, who had learnt it at Home of his Brother, and after ſet up for himſelf at _Mentz_. This Preſs at _Oxon_ was at leaſt ten years before there was any Printing in _Europe_ (except at _Harlein_, and _Mentz_) where alſo it was but new born. This Preſs at _Oxford_, was afterwards found inconvenient, to be the ſole Printing-place of _England_, as being too far from _London_, and the Sea: Whereupon the King ſet up a Preſs at St. _Albans_, and another in the Abby of _Weſtminster_, where they Printed ſeveral Bookes of Divinity and Phyſick, (for the King, for Reaſons beſt known to himſelf and Council) permitted then no Law-Books to be Printed; nor did any Printer exerciſe that ART, but onely ſuch as were the Kings ſworn Servants; the King himſelf having the Price and Emolument for Printing Books. Printing thus brought into _England_, was moſt Graciouſly received by the King, and moſt cordially entertained by the Church, the Printers having the Honour to be ſworn the King’s Servants, and the Favour to Lodge in the very Boſome of the Church; as in _Weſtminſter_, St. _Albans_, _Oxon_, &c. As no one believes in this story it is not worth while to do more than to point out that no corroboration of it has ever been found, (much less the original record discovered), that Henry VI was deposed 4 March 1460/1, and that the type shows no resemblance to that of Haarlem. Nor does the rest of the book concern us. The tale, however, in the absence of contradiction, obtained some vogue, so that we find for instance in Layer Marney church in Essex some such inscription as the following “Præ-missus, non amissus, Nicolas Corsellis Armiger Dominus hujus manerii hic requiescit, hâc vitâ ad meliorem commigratus Anno D 1674 Die Octobris 19^o. Artem typographi miratam Belgicus Anglis Corsellis docuit, Regis prece munere victus. Hic fuit extremis mercator cognitus Indis: Incola jam cælis, virtus sua famaque vivent. Johannes Corsellis ejus Executor & Consanguineus hoc monumentum posuit.” The Corsellis family came from Flanders in the 17th century. There is no question that this clumsy forgery of Atkyns has had its effect in befogging the subject to which it relates, and has predisposed critics to suspect the date of the first Oxford book. II. THE DISPUTED DATE, “1468.” The first who threw doubt on the recorded date of the Jerome was Conyers Middleton in his ©Dissertation on the origin of Printing© published in 1735, and since then the opinion that 1468 is an error for 1478 (an X having dropped out of “MCCCCLXXVIII”) has steadily gained ground with the advance of critical methods, until authorities like Bradshaw and Blades and Duff have come to regard the question as settled. The only two separate and formal defences of the date (not counting incidental passages in books) are a MS. in the Guildhall Library in London, in a volume of Stukeley’s ©Palæographia Britannica© marked B. 2. 1, perhaps written in about 1770, and S. W. Singer’s ©Some Account of the book printed at Oxford in MCCCCLXVIII© (London, 1812, 50 copies for private distribution), a work which the author subsequently called in as far as he was able. In the former the arguments are of a general character, such as that if, as Middleton asserted, the King had not leisure to attend to such matters during Civil War, the archbishop _had_, and that Caxton’s silence counts for nothing in the general obscurity which surrounds the earliest printing presses. The Corsellis story is accepted. Singer is more scientific, as befits the later date, and adduces several of the technical arguments which may still be used. It is now time to state the present aspect of the dispute, and to ascertain how far the date “1468” is not only dubious but untenable. The arguments against the date may be stated in presumed order of their cogency, with the remarks on the other side which they severally suggest. 1. _The presence of Signatures._ The Jerome presents to our eyes the ordinary signatures to which we are accustomed in fifteenth-century books, that is to say the marks a j, a ij, a iij, a iiij on the recto of each of the four leaves which form the first half of the sections of eight leaves (sixteen pages) of which the book is generally composed. These are placed just below the last letters of the printed page, close under them. Now the earliest known book with a date in which signatures elsewhere occur in this developed form is an ©Expositio Decalogi©, by Johannes Nider, printed at Cologne by Koelhoff in 1472, the next being a Cologne book by F. de Platea in 1474. The argument is that it is extremely unlikely that an isolated printer in a provincial town in England should make such a discovery and advance, and that the next similar book should be a German one four years later[9]. What may be called the common ground of the discussion on this point is well explained in Blades’s ©Books in Chains© (Lond. 1892), pp. 85–122, in a paper on Signatures. He shows that the idea of signatures in manuscripts is as old as books themselves, but that in manuscripts the marks, being in writing and intended for the binder’s eye alone, were naturally, as a rule, at the foot or corner of the page, and often cut off in the process of binding. When printing came in, the obvious difficulty was to print marks so far from the rest of the printed page as to be cut off in binding. This difficulty was met in two ways: either the signatures were _written in_ at the extreme foot (from 1462?), or the signatures were stamped on by hand with single types (from 1473?). Some printers, however, did manage by care to print signatures far from the text (1474 on?). Ultimately in a single case in 1472 and with increasing frequency from 1474 printers found that the essential ugliness of printed signatures close to the page was counterbalanced by the utility and convenience of the change, and our modern system was begun. Now, it must be constantly remembered that the entire weight of disproof lies with those who dispute the printed date. This is why it is simply amusing to read Blades’s sage words on the subject of this 1472 book with normal printed signatures. He is pledged to renounce the Oxford date, but he finds it awkward that there _is_ an isolated book of 1472 in precisely the same category—with the same want of precedent, the same absence of imitators, the same forlorn appearance. Observe how he deals with it (p. 116 of the book above cited):—“This is a puzzling book, for it is at least two years earlier than any other book so signed. In this city, too. [i. e. Lübeck[10]] many works were issued with MS. signatures with a later date than this. It is dangerous to assert that a book is wrongly dated because you cannot make it fit into a bibliographical theory; but I feel inclined, from the general aspect of the book, to date it as 1482, rather than 1472.” And yet a very high authority on typography assures me that the book is _undoubtedly_ of 1472! What then prevents the tentative and isolated experiment of Cologne from having a similar tentative and isolated forerunner, even at Oxford? We may remember too that in the infancy of printing it was common to detect errors as the book went through the press, and often the printer himself corrected an error with his pen, as in the colophon of the Aegidius (see p. 1). Or a reader would do the same. But it is believed that in no copy of the Jerome is there any attempt to correct or even throw suspicion on the date. There is the date, plain and detailed, and it is allowable to wait for scientific proof before it is abandoned. _A priori_ considerations have force, but they are liable to sudden overthrow. Clearly the consideration of signatures alone cannot avail to disprove the date of the Jerome. But much more remains. 2. _Signs of progress._ It is said that, if we consider the interval between 1468 and 1479, we shall reasonably expect definite signs of progress. On the contrary, the first three Oxford books are printed with the same type, with similar signatures, with the same sized page and the same number of lines in a column. “In fact,” says Blades in the ©Antiquary©, vol. iii, no. 13, Jan. 1881, in an article on ©The First Printing Press at Oxford©, “if a leaf of one was extracted and inserted in another it would, typographically, excite no remark.” _Natura nihil facit per saltum_, and we are accustomed to apply the idea of evolution and development to every art and trade. It is asserted also that there is no other case of the cessation of a press for over ten years. But cessation of printing for such a time is not unknown. No book was produced at Bamberg between 1462 and 1480, or at Caen between 1480 and 1500, or at Brussels between 1484 and 1500, or at Haarlem for some years after 1486, or at Saragossa after 1475 till 1485? Moreover the only early printing known at Tavistock is two books in 1525 and 1534. The _same type_ and _identical woodcuts_ are found in the two, with an interval of nine years. And where there is cessation, it is obvious that we may be content with fewer signs of advance when work is resumed at the same press with the same type, than if the activity had been continuous, or if the instruments were changed. But this question of progress is a plain issue. Are there no signs of advance in the two later books compared with the earlier one? The first book often has an unevenness at the right-hand edge of a column (in 28 pages out of 84). In the other two it is always perfectly even[11]. Again, the Jerome starts printing on sign. a 1, whereas the other two start with a blank leaf, the printing beginning on a 2. Again, in the Jerome there is a peculiar misuse of the capitals H and Q (see p. 241), not found in the following books. And lastly, to omit smaller matters, there is the decided and important fact that whereas in the Jerome each page was printed separately, in the Aegidius and Aretinus two pages were printed at a time. 3. _The Type._ Of the palmary arguments against the date, one still remains. The first Oxford type presents a remarkable similarity to that used by Gerard ten Raem de Bercka (see p. 242), and his only dated book at present known is of 1478. There is certainly a real connexion between the two founts, but we know so extremely little of this printer that it is at present unsafe to base any conclusion on his work. The typographical genealogy of the early printers of the Netherlands and Germany has not yet been fully drawn out, and of the 1478 ©Modus Confitendi© (Hain 11455), which is here in question, only two copies _with the date_ are known, one in the John Rylands (Spencer) library at Manchester and one on the continent. On this point we shall doubtless know more in time, but at present we are bound to suspend our judgment. 4. _Mistakes of date common._ There are two subsidiary considerations left. One is that mistakes of date in colophons are not uncommon. An edition of Aeneas Sylvius’s ©Epistolae© (Cologne, printed by Koelhoff) is dated MCCCCLXVIII, which is stated to be an error for 1478, and an ©Opusculum de componendis versibus© by Mataratius, printed at Venice, is also believed to be erroneously dated 1468 for 1478. Caxton’s edition of Gower’s ©Confessio Amantis© is dated 1493 instead of 1483. I have noticed the following additional errors affecting dates before 1501:—720 for 1720, 1061 for 1601, 1099 for 1499, 1334 for 1734, 1400 for 1490 or 1500, 1444 for 1494, 1461 for 1471, 1461 for 1641, 1462 for 1472, 1472 for 1482. There is no doubt therefore that a mistake of date in an early book has many parallels, and so far the improbability of it happening in other books is diminished. At the same time one would expect the first printers in a place of learning to be careful enough, even if an initial blunder of this magnitude were committed, to correct it in some copies before issue. It is of course conceivable that the date was deliberately falsified, to avoid expected unpleasant consequences of being found _flagrante delicto_, but this hypothesis may be left to be dealt with when some one maintains it. 5. _Books bound with the Jerome._ There remains a consideration of some weight. Until this century it was common to bind together several books (not merely pamphlets) in one volume. What books have been found in the same binding with the “1468” volume? Four copies of the Jerome are, or are known to have been, bound with several other treatises (see p. 252). One is bound with (and before) the Aretinus of 1479, and it is interesting that though a few leaves of modern paper now separate them there is an offset of the first page of the Aretinus on the last page of the Jerome, showing that the Aretinus was bound with the Jerome before the former was entirely dry. No conclusion however about the date of the Jerome can be drawn from this and whatever presumption of synchronism might be raised is removed by the fact that the well defined stains at the end of the Jerome and beginning of the Aretinus do _not_ run from the one to the other. A second copy was bound with seven others, only two of which are dated, 1478 and (the Oxford Aegidius) 1479: one of the undated is about 1485 (Perottus). A third copy was bound with four preceding treatises, of which the only dated one was the first, the Oxford Aegidius of 1479. A fourth has five pieces with it, the first two of which are of about 1480, the Jerome is third, the fourth is of 1485, the fifth is undated, and the last is of 1486 or 1487. Clearly we are on very unsafe ground when we base any conclusion on these companion treatises, and our hesitation is not lessened when we notice that the only copy of the ©Vulgaria Terentii© (Oxf., not later than 1483) which is bound with other treatises, occurs after books dated 1488 and 1486, the rest being without a date. 6. _First printing in Europe._ The following list of places and dates will show how far it is likely, if we turn from facts to probabilities, that Oxford should have started printing in 1468. Only the first two towns of each country are given, with the exception of England: and the claim of Oxford is purposely ignored. 1. Germany (Mainz, not after 1454: Strassburg, before 1460: Cologne began not later than 1466). 2. Italy (Subiaco, 1465: Rome, 1467). 3. Switzerland (Basel, not after 1468: Beromünster, 1470). 4. France (Paris, 1470: Lyon, not after 1473). 5. Netherlands (Utrecht, about 1471–3: Alost, 1473). 6. Austro-Hungary (Buda-Pesth, 1473: Trient, 1475). 7. Spain (Valencia, 1474: Saragossa, 1475). 8. England (Westminster, 1477: Oxford, 1478: St. Alban’s, 1480 [1479?]: London, 1480). 9. Denmark (Odensee, 1482: Schleswig, 1486). 10. Sweden (Stockholm, 1483: Wadsten, 1495). 11. Portugal (Lisbon, 1489: Leiria, 1492). 12. Montenegro (Cettinje, 1494). * * * * * It is hoped that the above summary statement of the arguments for and against the date of the Jerome will serve to make the present position of the question clear. What general conclusion can be arrived at before further facts are discovered? Caxton, who began to print in England in 1477, nowhere claims to have introduced printing into England. Is it still conceivable that Oxford preceded Westminster by nine years? The answer is that it is still conceivable, but not probable. The ground has been slowly and surely giving way beneath the defenders of the Oxford date, in proportion to the advance of our knowledge of early printing, and all that can be said is that it has not yet entirely slipped away. All the new contributions to the argument and all the chief bibliographers are against it, while no fresh defending forces are in sight. But it is still allowable to assert that the destructive arguments, even if we admit their cumulative cogency, do not at the present time amount to proof. In the venerable building at the north-east corner of St. Mary’s Church at Oxford—the old House of Congregation, which, though once the cradle of the University, Nunc situs informis premit et deserta vetustas— there is still a single tenant, feebly holding his ground and refusing to be evicted. He wears the form of King Alfred and bears a legend beneath, telling us boldly that he founded the University[12]. The clamour of disputation never reaches that silent room, the changes of centuries have disregarded it, and it remains the one place where a belief which cast a lustre of royalty over early Oxford, and to this day gives primacy to one of the oldest colleges, is still maintained without contradiction. The figure neither utters nor listens to argument: it asserts and chooses to assert. But the spirit of the age is at the door: St. Mary’s is swathed in scaffolding: the sounds of trowel and saw penetrate through the dim glass and the cobwebs and all things become new. It is probable that the opening years of the twentieth century will see the age-worn bust of Alfred and the copy of the Oxford Jerome in the University archives consigned to a common flame as Impostors in an age of light. _Copies known._ 1.

The reasons for placing this book second are given above at pp. 241–2: if they are regarded as sufficient, we must take “1479” in the Aegidius as what we should call 1480, which is in agreement with the ordinary usage of the time and which gains a slight probability, in that the printing would have been finished on a Sunday, if the year were taken as 1478/9. All copies are poorly printed. It was quite fitting that the first book printed at Oxford should be theological and the second the Nicomachean Ethics of Aristotle. _Copies known._ 1. British Museum.

D. 5, 163. B. 2, G. 7930, and now C. 2. a. 7. Bound with it is a manuscript translation into Latin of Aristotle’s ©Œconomica© and ©Politics©, dedicated to Humphrey Duke of Gloucester. 2. Bodleian. Perfect. In this copy at o 2^r and o 2^v is a ć printed in the margin, apparently meaning “cancel,” since the recto is printed askew. Manuscript notes show that the book, which is in contemporary binding, was at first in the hands of an Oxford student (?) who received pittance from the Prior of Oseney. Then “Codex Michaelis Canni.” Owned by John Selden, among whose books it came to the Library in 1659. Marked 8^o A. 17 Art. Seld., Auct. Q. 1. 5. 17, Auct. R. supr. 8, and now S. Selden e. 2. 3. All Souls College, Oxford. Perfect. Bound with the Jerome (see p. 252). 4. Norwich Cathedral Library. 5. John Rylands Library, Manchester. Imperfect, wanting a 1, a blank leaf. Made up out of two copies, the Alchorne and the Freeling. Bound by C. Lewis: marked 15969 or G. 237: transferred as the Jerome. 6. The Earl of Pembroke’s Library. 7. Chetham Library at Manchester. Wants a 1 and two leaves in sign. k. 8. Lord Ashburnham. Anthony Askew possessed a copy (Sale catal. 1775, no. 998, sold for £5 5_s._ to Dent), and an imperfect one occurred in the Bright sale in 1845 (no. 180), and fetched £5 15_s._ Fragments:—The Bodleian possesses fragments comprising l 3, l 6–8, v 3, v 6, v 7, v 8: Queen’s College, Oxford, possesses m 8, with some variations of reading: and i 4 was in 1888 in the possession of F. J. H. Jenkinson, Esq., at Cambridge. 3. ¬Aegidius¬ (1479/80?, see p. 1). In this work the colophon is printed in red, the only instance of colour printing in the early Oxford press. The book is for some reason rarer than the two which precede. It is noticeable that in every known copy the bad grammar of the printed colophon was corrected in red ink before it left the office. _Copies known._ 1. Bodleian. Perfect. Owned by Robert Burton, the author of the ©Anatomy of Melancholy©, in 1601. Originally bound first in a volume also containing De viginti preceptis elegantiarum, Bois-le-duc, 1487: Perotti grammatica: Bonaventurae Soliloquium. Marked 4^o A. 28 Th., then Auct. Q. 1. 5. 16, then separately bound as Auct. R. supra 4. 2. Oriel College Library. Perfect. See the Jerome, no. 4. 3. John Rylands Library, Manchester. Wanting a 1 and c 8, blank leaves and a 8. Purchased by Lord Spencer: once part of the volume containing the Jerome no. 12. A copy was in the Harleian Library (Catal. vol. 3, no. 6674). 4. ¬Cicero, Pro Milone¬ (1480?, see p. 2). This is a puzzling book. The type so closely resembles Oxford type that every bibliographer has accepted it provisionally as identical. Yet it exhibits spaced type, it uses / for a comma (both points unique in Oxford printing), and the sections are made up in sixes. It is also by many years the first classic printed in England, the next being a Terence in 1497. The volume probably consisted of a—e in sixes, allowing a leaf blank at the beginning: perhaps section e was in eight. The first half of each section bears signatures. The book was clearly made up of half quarto sheets, three to each section. Mr. Blades was of opinion that the type was more worn than that of the Ales: and Mr. E. G. Duff thinks that the spacing and other peculiarities point to a later date than 1480. Fragments known:—b 3–4, c 3–4 are in the Bodleian (Auct. R. supra 3), having been presented by Sir William H. Cope in 1872. They were fly leaves in a volume containing five treatises dated from 1491 to 1505, probably bound in Oxford for William Cope (d. 1513) who lived near Banbury. Also c 1–2, 5–6 are in Merton College Library, Oxford, among some loose printed fragments. 5. ¬Latin Grammar¬ (1481?, see p. 2). This is only known from two leaves in the British Museum, acquired in 1872 or late in 1871, which were found in the binding of a book, which in the sixteenth cent. belonged to Nicholas Browere. It is a Latin grammar in English, the examples of which connect its composition with Oxford (e. g. “I goo to grammer att Oxforde Incumbo grammatice Oxonij,” “Y go to Oxforde Eo Oxonium vel ad Oxonium.”) From letters in the ©Athenaeum©, 4 and 11 Nov. 1871, and notes in the book, it appears that the author might be John Anwykyll (see p. 257) and that it is probably not by Holt or Stanbridge. The chain lines run across the page: but it is at present impossible to say whether the sections were in sixes or eights. Marked C. 33. i. 10. 6. ¬Ales¬ (1481, see p. 2). The woodcut border which is found in some copies of the Ales and Latteburius is the earliest found in English printing, though Caxton uses woodcut engravings in the text (for the first time) in the same year. It consists of birds and flowers grouped on long winding stems, the four pieces which form the border measuring in all not less than 11¼ × 7¾ in. (no quite intact copy is known, the binder’s ruthless knife invariably removing a portion). A full-size reproduction of it is given in E. G. Duff’s ©Facsimiles of English types© (Lond. 1895). _Copies known._ 1. British Museum. Without border. Wanting a 4, a 5. Re-bound lately, but with the original sides. Owned by William Wodebrigge, sub-prior of Butleigh, co. Suffolk: then by John Warner: then by Cranmer: then by lord Lumley. In the Old Royal Library: once 520. 9. 12, now C. 38. g. 1. 2. Bodleian.

Marked D. 237, E. 237, 19944, in the Spencer Library. 14. Durham Cathedral Library. Without border. 15. Dulwich College Library: bound with Lettou’s edition of Ant. Andreae, 1480. 16. Lincoln Cathedral Library. Fragments:—In the Bodleian r 6 and parts of C 1, E 6: in Merton College, Oxford, two leaves (one is i 7): in Corpus Christi College, Oxford, part of one leaf: in the Cambridge University Library, parts of E 1 and other fragments: in the British Museum (MS. Harl. 5929, no. 36: last leaf with colophon and date): at Trinity College, Cambridge. 7. ¬Latteburius¬ (1482, see p. 2). Some copies of this work also bear the engraved border noticed on p. 254. Some copies have a distinct variation on sign. “kk” (= K) 7^v, thus liū super capitulum s’m trenorū Ihe, _or_ liū suꝑ capitulū secūdū trenorū Ihe. Clearly the type was altered because s’m is a fair contraction when meaning “according to,” but not properly used when meaning “second.” See plate III. _Copies known._ 1. British Museum. With border. Perfect. In the original stamped leather binding. Owned by Simon Foderby in the 15th century: by Christopher Viscount Castlecomer, and W. F. (?) Hunter, 1824.

Q. 1. 2. 8, now Auct. R. supra 11. 3. Oxford—All Souls. Without border. On vellum. Perfect, except that part of O 6 (blank) is gone. Given by Richard Gavent formerly Fellow of the College. The binding is contemporary Oxford stamped leather. This copy is remarkable from the fact that four names, apparently of parchment-sellers, occur as signing certain leaves: on 54 leaves (representing 108) F. H.: on 31, Hawkyns or Haukins: on 8, Alison: on 3, J. Alexander (Alysaunder): probably some other signings are cut off. A comparison of two sets of similar markings in other books almost establishes the fact that these names do not represent revisers of the printing, but dimply the owners of the parchment. Sometimes “8 ff,” and once “8 ff alison,” occur, showing that the pieces were sold in bundles of eight (?). Marked P. 2. 18, then QQ. 8. 11. 4. Oxford—Corpus Christi College. With border. Wanting almost all of a 1, L 8, O 6 blank leaves. In contemporary binding. Marked X. P. iv. 4, then Δ. 18. 3. 5. Oxford—New College. 6, 7. Cambridge University Library. Both with border.

The other, AB. 7. 27, only wants a 1 (blank leaf); with a George I bookplate. 8. Cambridge—Jesus College. With border. 9. Cambridge—Trinity College. Perfect (?).

Four of the chief English grammarians of the 16th century were connected with Magdalen College Grammar School at Oxford. The first master was John Anwykyll (1481?-87); the first usher and second master was John Stanbridge (1481?-88, 1488–94, _d._ 1510); John Holte, the author of the ©Lac Puerorum©, was master; and Robert Whittington was Stanbridge’s pupil at the school. Dean Colet, William Lily and Cardinal Wolsey were also members of Magdalen (see Bloxam’s ©Register of Magdalen College©, iii., ad init.). Of the Latin Grammar in Latin which is now before us and has been assigned with probability by Bradshaw to Anwykyll, no complete copy is known, but it was reprinted at Deventer in 1489. The ©Vulgaria Terentii© occurs also separately, and consists of sentences from Terence with English translation. There appear to be two different editions of this Grammar (not Vulgaria), for it can be shown that the Cambridge fragments are not of the same edition as the Bodleian book. Not only, for instance, are the contents of sign. h 3 in each entirely different, but the signatures themselves are in different type, and in the Corpus (Cambridge) fragment the signature is n 3, and yet it belongs to the Compendium and not the Vulgaria. The height of the printed page also varies considerably, and the width of the Vulgaria pages is less than that of the Grammar. The subject needs further investigation. _Parts known._ 1. London—British Museum, Vulgaria Terentii only, with written date at end 5 Jan. 1500/1. Marked C. 33. i. 3. 2. Oxford—Bodleian. A fragment containing signn. fg^8hk^6lm^8 and (Vulgaria) n-q^8.

Small Fragments known:—Cambridge University Library (two leaves, h 3, and [without sign.] the beginning of the 3rd part): Trinity College Library, Cambridge (one leaf, d 1, of the same edition as the University Library fragments). Photographs of these fragments are in the Bodleian. The Rev. W. D. Macray states in his ©Annals of the Bodleian© (2nd ed., 1890, p. 159, _note_) that Bradshaw found two leaves at Corpus and two at St. John’s (both Cambridge), but these really belong to the Alexander (p. 260). Four leaves are in the library of Lord Dillon at Ditchley, Oxfordshire, discovered by Mr. Macray in 1867. 9. ¬Hampole¬ (1483?, see p. 3).

This piece of Oxford printing was discovered in the spring of 1891 in the British Museum. It was originally bound with Gerson’s De modo vivendi (Joh. de Westphalia, n. d.), the Cordiale de quattuor novissimis (Delft, 1482), Albertanus de arte loquendi, 1484, Adelardi Quæstiones naturales, and the Historia septem sapientum. Marked 702. d. 34, now C. 38. f. 37: it had been part of lot 4912 in the Colbert sale. A facsimile is given in E. G. Duff’s ©Early printed books© (Lond. 1893). 13. ¬Phalaris¬ (1485, see p. 4). The computation of the date by Olympiads is very uncommon, in early printed books: it is however the most ancient classical method. Each Olympiad is a period of four years, and the first is computed to have commenced in July, B. C. 776: so that July A. D. 1 corresponded with the beginning of Olympiad 195. The computation ceased for practical purposes in A. D. 395, and the present revival is of an artificial kind, in which the expression “every fifth year,” which by a Greek could be applied to an Olympiad (Πενταετηρίς), was taken in its ordinary sense and used for computation. Thus “in the 297th Olympiad from the birth of Christ” was in the present book taken to represent (297 × 5 =) A. D. 1485. A similar use is found in the 1472 (Venice) edition of the Epigrams of Ausonius[13]. But the 1494 (Parma) edition of the Declamations of Quintilian contains a futile attempt to use the ancient method, for it was printed “Olympiade quingentesima sexagesima octaua qui est annus a salute christiana M.cccc.xciiii quinto non. Iul.”, whereas it would properly have been 1493. And M. A. Giry (©Manuel de Diplomatique©, 1894, p. 96) records an unintelligible attempt to use this computation in a deed of 1102. _Copies known._ 1.

There are editions of the Textus Alexandri by Pynson in 1505, 1513, 1516 and by Wynkin de Worde, 1503. Fragments known:—St. John’s College, Cambridge (c 2 and c 3 [?]): Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (two leaves, n 3 and one unsigned; probably part of the Alexander). 15. ¬Festiall¬ (1486/7, see p. 4). Printed in “1486,” “on the day aftir Seint Edward the kyng”: which would seem to be March 19, 1486/7. This book is distinguished by the occurrence of many woodcut engravings, and by the use of a woodcut capital G (52 times). This latter is the only woodcut letter used in the early Oxford Press (see Bradshaw in the ©Communications© of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, iii. 136). In the same paper (p. 138) Bradshaw suggests that the eleven large cuts were perhaps intended for an edition of the Golden Legend, and that the five smaller ones belong to a lost Oxford Primer on Horae. The text is nearer to that of Caxton’s second issue (1491) than of his first (1483). The two sets of woodcuts are as follows:— _Larger kind_ (general size, about 4½ × 4½–5½ in.). 1. ( ) Woodcut of the Crucifixion, laid sideways. 1^r. 2. ( ) Woodcut of St. Christopher bearing Christ, beneath a canopy. i^v. 3. h 5^v. Bishop under canopy, with two trees (facsimile in Dibdin’s _Ædes Althorpianæ_). 4. i 5^v. Martyrdom of St. Thomas. 5. k 7^r. Stoning of St. Stephen (facsimile in Dibdin). 6. l 2^r. St. John the Evangelist (?) with cup and palm-branch, between two figures. 7. l 6^r. Murder of the Innocents. 8. l 8^v. Murder of Thomas a Becket. 9. m 5^v. The Circumcision. 10. n 6^r. The Conversion of St. Paul. 11. o 7^v. The Annunciation. _Smaller kind_ (general size, about 2½ × 1½ in.). 12. c 4^v. Crucifixion. d 8^v. Space for woodcut. e 2^v. Do. ? 13. e 3^r. Pentecost. e 5^r. Do., the same woodcut. 14. f 2^v. The Trinity. 15. h 1^r. St. Andrew with his cross, with a book and trees. 16. h 1^r. St. Andrew with his cross. The prints are rude in execution, the foliage of trees being generally indicated simply by horizontal lines (as in a French ©Ortus Sanitatis© of about 1485). The shoes, sword-scabbards, and the like are often entirely black, showing that the cuts were intended to be coloured by hand. They appear to be entirely unknown elsewhere.

Iredale, bookseller of Torquay (catal. 31, Oct. 1887, no. 1) for 21_s._ The Printing Press at Oxford ceases its work suddenly in 1486/7, and there is no reason for this stop at present known. The printing at St. Alban’s ceased at about the same time. It has been suggested that Rood left Oxford for Cologne, where a Theodericus printed books in 1485 and 1486 in a type similar to that of the Ales and Latteburius. In this case Hunt may have continued for a short time alone, and then relinquished the work. ----- Footnote 6: None is paged: nor are there catchwords. Footnote 7: Exclusive of headline, signatures, and marginal notes. Footnote 8: With fragments of the book, independently of copies. Footnote 9: As these pages pass through the press I am informed by Mr. E. G. Duff that Lord Crawford possesses an edition of Horace’s Opuscula printed in “1470” with signatures. Footnote 10: Blades was under the erroneous impression that Koelhoff printed at Lübeck, instead of Cologne: where also books with manuscript signatures occur later than 1472. Footnote 11: In 1467 Ulric Zel of Cologne (see p. 242) was unacquainted with the setting-rule, which made evenness easy: he adopted it in 1468–9, but Colard Mansion at Bruges not till 1478 (Blades, ©Books in Chains©, p. 128).

From December 1517 to February “1519” (1519/20?) a printing press is found in work at Oxford in St. John’s Street near Merton College, connected in 1518 with the name of Johannes Scolar and in the last book with the name of Carolus Kyrfoth. Both of these appear to be foreigners, but nothing certain has yet been discovered about them or the causes of the establishment and cessation of the press[14]. In 1524 none of these names occurs among the inhabitants of Oxford paying taxes (Oxf. Hist. Soc., ©City Documents©, ed. by J. E. T. Rogers, 1891, p. 5): nor are they otherwise known in Oxford as booksellers or stationers. Although Scolar uses the arms of the University (their earliest occurrence in print), yet the Registers of the University almost entirely ignore the fact that for the second time the greatest literary invention since speech and writing were known, was silently at work in its midst. Three of the books were however issued “Cum Privilegio.” It is peculiar that whereas theology claimed a fair proportion of the first press, it is entirely absent from the second; grammar, logic, arithmetic, natural science, and the Ethics of Aristotle being alone represented, except that one broadside consists of a Prognostication, which Dorne’s lists in 1520 show to have been a popular form of literature in Oxford at that time. All are in small quarto, and similar in the types used, namely an English and Brevier black-letter, with a Great Primer for titles. Not only at Oxford but also at Cambridge, York, Tavistock, and Abingdon, in all of which there was an early 16th cent. press, printing entirely ceases for nearly the central forty years of that century. 1. ¬Burley¬ on Aristotle (1517, see p. 5). _Copies known._ Oxford—Bodleian.

At present the intervening space, which must be small, is unknown. The type is 8¼ in. broad, and red ink is used. _Copies known._ Oxford—Corpus Christi College (28 fragments of the upper and lower parts). Cambridge—University Library (two fragments). 7. ¬Compotus¬ (1519: see p. 7).

Two windows are in the background. On A 2^r is a diagram of the open hand (5 × 3⅝ in.), for purposes of computation: and different diagrams of the hand or part of it are on A 2^v, A 4^r, A 4^v. _Copy known._ Cambridge—University Library.

Footnote 15: With privilege. APPENDIX C. A CHRONOLOGICAL LIST OF PERSONS AND PROCEEDINGS CONNECTED WITH BOOK-PRODUCTION AT OXFORD, A.D. 1180–1640. Three districts in Oxford are associated with the early production of books. One is Bookbinders Bridge, which is still standing, namely the bridge which as one starts from close under the Castle in Titmouse Lane towards St. Thomas’s Church, crosses the second piece of water. The bridge was on the limits of Oseney Abbey and the neighbouring tenements were largely occupied by binders who worked for the Abbey. See Clark’s edition of Wood’s ©History of the City©, i. 433. Schidyard St., now Oriel St., is said to imply by its name that it was the locus schediasticorum, the place of writers on _schedae_ or sheets of paper. Certainly with St. John Baptist St. (now Merton St.) and Cat St., it was a great centre for scribes, illuminators, bookbinders, and the like. See Clark’s Wood, as above, i. 139, 175, 184. Also Cheney Lane, earlier St. Mildred’s Lane, and now Market St., was largely tenanted by the same class. See Clark’s Wood, i. 72. The stationarius (or virgifer) of the University was regularly appointed (see Clark’s ©Register of the University©, vol. ii, pt. 1, p. 261), and was generally employed to value the books of a scholar after death or sequestration. But these general facts require to be supplemented by the details which follow: with respect to which it must be remembered that many persons combined several of the trades here recorded, and that, for instance, the earliest printers always bound the books they produced.

Ralph, illuminator (do.). William, illuminator (do.). Thomas, scribe (“scriptor”) (do.). Reginald, parchment-maker (do.). Roger, parchment-maker (do.). c. 1190–1200. John, “illuminator”, in St. Mary’s[16] parish (Magd.). c. 1190–1200. Roger, “pergamenarius”, in St. Mary’s parish (Magd.). 1190–1215. Peter, illuminator, in St. Mary’s parish (Magd.). c. 1210–20 (?) Augustine, bookbinder, in St. Peter’s-in-the-East parish (Magd.). 1212, Nov.

Nat. MS. fonds Français 24766). In the first half of the 13th cent. occurs as a witness Reginald, bookbinder, in an old deed in the Oxford Univ. archives between Will. Burgey, and Nicholas “serviens Universitatis”, in one of the mayoralties of Petrus filius Toraldi. (Twyne I, p. 52.) c. 1232–40. John, illuminator, St. Peter’s (Magd.). c. 1232–40.

Simon Scoticus, parchment-maker (“parcamenarius”) in Cattestrete, St. Peter’s (Magd.). 1242. Robert de Derbi, illuminator, in Cattestrete, St. Peter’s (Magd.). About the middle of the 13th cent. the following names occur in Twyne’s transcript of a St. Frideswide record—a deed between Petrus filius Toraldi and Adam filius Hugonis Ruffi about land in the parish of St. Mary the Virgin:—Robert, illuminator; Simon, parchment-maker; and as witnesses, Thomas, scribe; Peter, parchment-maker (Twyne XXIII, p, 69). 1251–2.

Stephen, bookbinder, St. Peter’s (Magd.). 1264–84. William de Pikerynge, bookbinder, (“laminator”), died before 1308: found both in St. Mary’s and St. Peter’s deeds: probably the same as William the bookbinder of Oxford, the motto on whose seal in 1275 was “Vivite innocue; lumen adest” (Magd.). 1266. Hugh, illuminator, St. Mary’s (Magd.). 1266–78. Symon and Yon, bookbinders, St. Peter’s (Magd.). 1267. Reginald, illuminator, St. Peter’s (Magd.). 1268–90.

In this year it is agreed between the University and City that “Pergamenarii, Luminatores, Scriptores” were in the jurisdiction of the Chancellor of the University (©Munimenta Academica©, ed. Anstey, p. 52). Before 1304. Geoffrey, illuminator (“alluminator”), St. Mary’s (Magd.). 1308. Robert, notary and stationer in Cattestrete: St. Mary’s (Magd.). In the first quarter of the 14th cent. William of Nottingham wrote MSS. Merton Coll. 158, 166, 168, 169, 170 at Oxford (Coxe: see Little’s ©Grey Friars in Oxford©, 1892, pp. 165–6). 1340/1, Feb. Adam, bookbinder, occurs incidentally as holding a tenement in Schidyerd way (now Oriel St.), in the Bodleian Oxford charter no. 125* (Turner’s Catal., p. 307). This tenement he left to the altar of St. Thomas the Martyr in St. Mary the Virgin’s church in 1349 (Wood’s ©City©, ed. A. Clark, ii. 22, from a copy of the will). 1341. Symon Faunt and John Faunt, bookbinders, St. Mary’s (Magd.). 1342. In this year a MS. of William of Ockham’s Summa Logices now at Bâle (F. ii. 25 according to A. G. Little’s ©Grey Friars in Oxford©, p. 226: see Sir Tho. Phillipps’s Catalogue of MSS. at Bâle, p. 7) was written at Oxford. 1344. John Joye, illuminator (“lumnour”), of Cattestrete: St. Peter’s (Magd.). 1345. In this year the Chancellor of the University was acknowledged to have jurisdiction over “quattuor stationarios ad hujusmodi officium per ... Universitatem admissos et pro tempore admittendos ac Universitati juratos vel jurandos, necnon in omnes et singulos scriptores scholaribus in scriptorum officio servientes” (©Munimenta Academica©, ed. Anstey, p. 150, cf. 176; Wood’s ©Annals©, ed. Gutch, i. 441). 1349. In I. B. De Rossi’s ©Codices Palatini Latini bibliothecae Vaticanae descripti© (1886) in MS. no. 377 “adnotatur emptio codicis ‘pro duobus Florenis cum dimidio Anno domini M^o.CCC^o.XL^o nono in ciuitate oxoniensi.’” XIVth cent.

Archives between John Pilat and Walter “filius Paulini de Eynsham” about land in St. Mary’s parish, the following occur as witnesses:—Ralph, Robert, James, illuminators; Walter, Augustine, Adam, bookbinders (“liurs”); Simon, parchment-maker (Twyne XXIII, p. 103; cf. Bodl. MS. Wood D. 2, p. 489). 1353. Thomas Hamme, bookseller (“Vetus quoddam inventarium de bonis Thomæ Hamme bibliopolæ et stationarii ut videtur anno domini 1353,”) once in the Oxf. Univ. Archives, box K, no. 2; but this most interesting document is noted by Gerard Langbaine as having been stolen during the Civil War (MS. Twyne I, 278). 1358/9. Richard Lynne, stationer (“stacionarius Universitatis Oxun.”) (Coxe): Richard the stationer occurs in Lent 1358 (Boase’s ©Registrum Oxoniense©, 1st ed., p. xi). 1364. MS. New College 173 was written at Oxford in this year (Coxe). 1370. Robert, bookbinder, St. Mary’s (Magd.): Robert Bokebinder and Agnes his wife occur in 1377 (?) and 1380 (Oxf. City Doc., pp. 41, 47). 1373/4, Jan. 27. At this date “Quia, propter excessivam multitudinem vendentium libros Oxoniæ Universitati minime juratorum, plerique codices magni valoris ad partes exteras deferuntur” the University decreed that no booksellers except the sworn stationers or their deputies should sell any book exceeding half a mark in value. (Anstey’s ©Munimenta Academica©, p. 233: see Appendix D. I, below, p. 281). 1377? John, parchment-maker (“Parchemenor”), Holywell (Oxf. City Doc., p. 52). 1377?

Merton College 130 in this year, (Coxe), cf. MS. New College 104: see A.D. 1440. 1410. In the record of a tax levied on the University in this year occur the names of William and Roger, illuminators; Richard, senior and junior, parchment-makers; and Thomas and Robert, scribes (Twyne IV, p. 70). 1411. The University enacts that as the duties of the University stationers are laborious and anxious every one on graduation shall give clothes to one of the stationers (©Munimenta Academica©, ed. Anstey, p. 253). 1419. See under 1490. 1423. “Finit Menon Platonis [Latine] scriptus per Fredericum Naghel de Trajecto anno Domini MCCCC.XXiij ... in alma Universitate Oxoniensi” (MS. Corpus Christi College, Oxford, no. 243: Coxe). 1424. “Guilermus Secomps venditor librorum” may possibly be an Oxford bookseller in this year (see Coxe’s account of MS. Lincoln College Latin 14). 1424/5 John Dolle, bookbinder: see under 1453. First half of 15th cent. In Bodl. MS. e Mus. 155, p. 507 (written perhaps in the first half of the 15th cent.) “Explicit liber 3^{us} de consideracione 4^{te} essencie secundum Rogerum Bacon correctus et scriptus per Johannem Cokkes manibus suis propriis Oxon.” 1426. John Wake, illuminator (“lymner”), St. Mary’s (Magd.): he appears as a surety in 1434 (Univ. Register Aaa, fol. 1). 1427. “Explicit conflatus Francisci de Maronis finitus per manus Nicolai de Bodelswerdia anno Domini 1427 ... tum temporis Oxoniæ studentis” (MS. Merton College 133: Coxe). A similar inscription dated 1429 is in MS. Oriel College 70 (Coxe). Kirchhoff mentions Nicolas de Frisia alias de Bolswerdia as a bookseller in 1427–31. 1430. “Explicit conflatus Francisci de Mayronis ... finitus et completus anno Domini 1430 ... per manus Johannis Jacobi Spaen de Amsterdamis, tunc temporis Oxonie studentis” (MS. Magd. Coll., Oxf., 103: Coxe). 1434. John Clerk (Clericus) occurs as a stationer in this year and 1438 (Univ. Register Aaa, foll. 4*, 11). c. 1436. “Stephanus ligator librorum de Oxonia” occurs at about this date in Cambr. Univ. MS. Dd. xiv. 2, fol. 139 (information from T. W. Jackson, M.A.). 1439. John Godsond occurs as a stationer (Oxf. Univ. Archives, Aaa, fol. 15^v): he has a dispute in the same year with John Coneley a “lymner,” his assistant (Anstey’s ©Munimenta Academica©, pp. 550–1): in 1458 he is paid for chaining some Exeter College books (Boase’s ©Reg. Exon.©, 1st ed., p. 21). 1440. John Brown, stationer, in this year (cited by Heyner) may be the same as the one noted under 1403. 1440. John More, stationer, occurs frequently: in 1440 he or a person of his name sells MS. Lincoln College, Latin 109, probably in Oxford (Coxe): on 7 Nov. 1444 he is mentioned in Anstey’s ©Munimenta Academica©, p. 741: in Apr. 1445 he values books in Oxford (_ibid._, p. 544): also in 1447–48 (_ibid._, pp. 565, 579, cf. 741) mentioned in the Treasurer’s accounts at Oriel, 1451–65: on 12 Apr. 1454 or ‘55 he sold MS. Magd. Coll. (Oxf.) 4 in Oxford (Coxe): in 1457 he values Exeter College books (Boase’s ©Reg. Exon.©, 1st ed., p. lxviii): on 21 Oct. 1457 he sold MS. Magd. Coll. (Oxf.) 134 in Oxford (“Mare,” in Coxe). A John More was living in 1460–61 and 1468–9 on the east side of Cat Street, probably in Lady Hall = Great St. Mary’s Entry, according to the St. Mary the Virgin church accounts preserved in the Bodleian (Oxford Rolls 13 &c.). He was also a binder (Oriel accounts). 1445. John Coneley, illuminator: see 1439: he is bound to work for Godsond for one year from 8 Nov. 1445 for 4 marks and 10 shillings. 1446. “Thomas Bokebynder de Catys-street” was imprisoned by the Chancellor for saying that the mayor and townsfolk were not under oath to respect the rights of the University (Anstey, ©Munimenta Academica©, p. 556). 1448. William Bedewyne, illuminator (“lymnour”), “late of Oxford,” St. Peter’s (Magd.). XVth cent. Willelmus Sengleton wrote MS. New College 127 (Coxe): he may be the Will. Singleton who was admitted B.A. in 1566/7 (©Register of the Univ.©, vol. i., ed. Boase, p. 265). XVth cent. “Expliciunt Questiones ... scripte per Johannem de Almania sive de Kasterle, in usum ... Thome Grace, illic [sc. at Oxford] in artibus graduati,” in MS. Magd. Coll. (Oxf.) 162 (Coxe). 1450–64. In these years Willelmus Salomon “Leonensis diocesis” wrote the works of Hugo de Sancto Caro or Hugo Viennensis in Oxford for Roger Keys, who in 1469/70 presented them to Exeter College, where they are now MSS. 51–68 (Coxe). 1452. “Johannes Bokebyndere Oxoniæ” occurs in the will of dr. Richard Browne (Anstey’s ©Munimenta Academica©, p. 648). 1453. John Delle or Dolle, stationer, mentioned (©Register of the Univ.©, vol. i., ed. Boase, p. 20, “Delle”): and in 1454 (Anstey’s ©Munimenta Academica©, p. 741, “Dolle”). In 1454 his name occurs in Bodleian Oxford Charters 491 (Turner’s Catal., p. 351). He may be the same as John Dolle, bookbinder, who lived in Cat Street in 1424/5 (Boase’s ©Reg. Exon.©, 1894, p. 295). 1453. John Reynbold, a German, agreed at Oxford to write out three books of Duns Scotus on the Sentences (Bodl. MS. Ballard 46, fol. 70). He wrote several MSS. now at Balliol and Merton between 1451 and 1464. 1459. June 17. Will. Bokebynder occurs as a witness in Oxford, when MS. Merton Coll. 135 was given to the College (Coxe). In the same year he is mentioned in Oxford Univ. Archives, box F, no. 28. 1467. British Museum MS. Royal 6 D II once bore the following interesting inscription, before it was re-bound, “Iste liber ligatus erat Oxonii, in Catstrete, ad instantiam Reverendi Domini Thome Wybarun in sacra Theologia Bacalarii Monachi Roffensis, Anno Domini 1467” (see Casley’s ©Catalogue of the Manuscripts of the Kings Library© (1734), Dibdin’s ©Bibliographical Decameron© (1817), ii. 449: the volume contains the Letters of St. Jerome, and had been given to Rochester by Benedict, bp. of Rochester, _d._ 1226). “1468”–1486/7. Oxford printing, see Appendix A. 1473. Thomas Hunt, “universitatis Oxonie stacionarius,” sold Brit. Mus. MS. Burney 11 (a Latin Bible) in this year (see the Catalogue, printed in 1840). In 1477 and 1479 he was living in Haberdasher hall in the parish of St. Mary the Virgin (Bodl. MS. Wood F. 15, a collection of Oseney rentals: Wood’s “Thomas Howle, stacioniar,” of Haberdasher hall in 1477 in Bodl. MS. Wood D. 2, p. 587, from the above MS., is a mis-reading by Wood for Honte, i. e. Hunte). In 1483 he appears as agreeing to sell certain books in Oxford at fixed prices (the list, which is on a paper now forming a fly-leaf of a French translation of Livy (Paris, 1486) now in the Bodleian, is printed in the publications of the Oxf. Hist. Soc. vol. v. (©Collectanea©, I), pp. 74, 141–3). In all probability he is the same Thomas Hunt who in 1485 printed the ©Phalaridis Epistolae© at Oxford in conjunction with Theodoric Rood (see pp. 4, 238). 1481–85. Theodoric Rood, printed at Oxford (see pp. 2, 4, 238). 1482. F. H., — Hawkins, J. Alexander (Alison) occur as parchment-sellers: see p. 256. 1490. William Vavasour, scribe. MS. Corpus Christi Coll. (Oxf.) 228 was written “per manum fratris Wyllelmi Vavysur,” “Oxonie anno 1490” (the date and word “Oxonie” might possibly refer to the time and place of the “determinationes physicæ”: but) MS. Corpus 227 was “scriptus per me fratrem Wyllelmum, studentem Oxonie anno ... 1419 [1491]” and “per manum fratris Wyllelmi Vavysur ejusdem ordinis [sc. fratrum Minorum] ... 1491.” 1501.

Henricus Jacobi. On Dec. 11, 1514 administration of the effects of Henricus Jacobi, deceased, was granted (Oxf. Univ. Archives). Two imperfect leaves of an edition of the ©Formalitates de mente magistri Johannis Duns Scoti© by Antonius Syrretus were found in New College Library at Oxford by R. G. C. Proctor, Esq., the first of which bears the words “Venundantur in vniuersitate Oxoniensi sub intersignio sanctissime Trinitatis ab Henrico Jacobi bibliopole Londoniensis.” See p. 228. 1518. John Scolar and (1519/20) Carolus Kyrfoth, printers, see pp. 5–7, 263. 1521. John Dorne, bookseller. His day-ledger, showing what books he sold and at what prices, from 19 Jan.-23 Dec. 1520, is MS. Corpus Christi College, Oxford, no. 131; this and two leaves of a similar day-book of about 1518–19, found in a binding in the same College library, are printed in the Oxford Historical Society’s ©Collectanea© volume, no. 1 (pp. 78–139) and 2 (pp. 457–62), where also it is shown that Dorne, who was certainly “a Dutchman,” and as such paid with others an alien tax at Oxford in 1524 (see Rogers’s ©Oxford City Documents©, Oxf. Hist. Soc. xviii, 1891, p. 56, as Johan Thorn), may be the Johannes Dorn who printed at Brunswick in 1507–9. An ©Opus Insolubilium© printed by Treveris was to be sold “apud I. T.”, which Mr. E. G. Duff thinks is probably I. Thorne. 1524. William Howberghe (Howbert or Hubbert), Douchman (Dutchman: he resigned his office as Stationer 11 Oct. 1532, see Boase’s ©Reg. Oxon.©, p. 171). Gerard Pylegreme, Douchman (his will is extant at Oxford, dated 7 Feb. “1537”: Oxf. Univ. Archives). Balthasar Churchyard, Douchman. Harry Renkens, Douchman. All these pay taxes as Dorne above, in 1524, in the capacity of Stationers or Booksellers. Richard Alcoke, bell-ringer, Margarete Page, Rose Cater, Henry Mancipull, and “Sir Person” are possible additions to this list. About 1525. Gressop, bookbinder. In Bodl. MS. Rawl. G. 47 (N. C. 14778) there is a note that the volume, which had been presented to All Souls Library by bp. Goldwell, was “resarcitus per Gressopum”: the date must be about 1525. 1531, Oct. A commission from the bp. of Lincoln to search the booksellers’ stalls at St. Frideswide’s fair for heretical books (Brit. Mus. MS. Lansdowne 938). 1532. David Pratt, B.A., of Cambridge, is stationer from 10 March 1535/6 to Oct. 1536 (Boase’s ©Reg. Oxon.©, p. 171). 1534. A patent is issued to Cambridge (where printing had been exercised from 1521 to 1522) allowing the University to have three licensed stationers and printers or sellers of books, and authority to print books is granted to the Chancellor and three Doctors. No similar patent was issued to Oxford. 1552. Henry Mylward, stationer (Boase’s ©Reg. Oxon.©, p. xx). He retired on 11 Apr. 1597 from old age (Clark’s ©Register©, i. 262, where it is suggested that his name appears as Miller in 1578/9, living in St. Mary’s Parish). In 1583 (July 12) Beef Hall was leased to him (Oxf. Univ. Archives, box O, no. 10. cf. A. no. 14). 1554, Nov. 14. Herman Evans admitted stationer, but pronounced “contumax” in Oct. 1563 (Clark’s ©Register©, i. 261). 1556, Aug. 11. Nicholas Wayte, admitted bookseller (Clark, i. 321). —— —— —— Richard Walles, do.

William Spyre, of St. Mary’s parish, adm. bookseller on the Chancellor’s recommendation. Still bookseller in 1590 (_ibid._), and stationer in 1617 and 1619 (Clark, i. 321, 343). Probably the same as Will “Spewe” of the Company of Stationers (C. R. Rivington, ©Stationers Company©, 1883, p. 27). Died before 20 Nov. 1636 (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). 1573, Sept. 8. ¬Joseph Barnes¬, adm. bookseller (_ibid._). He was licensed to sell wine from Oct. 1575 to at least Oct. 1596. He was sole printer to the University from 1585 to 1617, resigned on 12 Feb. 1616/7, and died in 1618, being buried in St. Mary’s on Dec. 17 in that year. He lived (and printed) in a house at the west end of St Mary’s, now St. Mary’s Entry (see ©Letters from the Bodleian©, ii. 428). 1573, Sept. 8. Robert Cave, adm. bookseller (Clark, i. 321): still a bookseller in 1693 (fragm. in C. C. C, Oxf., Library from M. XX. II). 1573, Dec. 5. Richard Garbrand, or Harks, adm. bookseller: still bookseller in 1599 (MS. Wood D. 3, p. 281, cf. 286, where it is stated that he was churchwarden of St. Mary’s in 1569); he died before 31 Jan 1603/4 (Clark, i. 323. compared with Griffiths’ ©Index of Oxford Wills©). 1574, Mar. 25. Dominique Pinart, adm. bookseller (Clark, _ibid._): in 1583 he occurs as a bookbinder (Oxf. Univ. Archives, Reg. Y. 99); still bookseller in 1616/7 (Clark, i. 321). Died before 18 Feb. 1627/8 (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). 1574. John Gore occurs as an Oxford bookseller in a lease summarized in MS. Wood D. 3, p. 281, and lived in or near Cat St. 1577, Apr. 24.

(1796), p. 188: and Webster’s ©Treatise of Witchcraft©, p. 245, quoted by Bagford in Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 62). 1583. Carre occurs as a bookbinder (Oxf. Univ. Archives, Reg. Y. 99). 1584, Aug. 15. £100 is lent by the University to Joseph Barnes with which to set up a press, to be repaid in six years (_ibid._ Reg. L. 10, fol. 287, cf. 246). In Oct. 1592 the money had not been repaid. 1585. For printers and publishers from 1585–1640, see also p. 311. 1585/6, Jan. 10. A Committee of Convocation at Oxford appointed to consider ©De libris imprimendis© (Oxf. Univ. Archives, Reg. L. 10, fol. 283). 1586, June 23. An Ordinance of the Star Chamber allows only two presses outside London, one at Oxford and one at Cambridge, and only one apprentice to each press (printed in full in Arber’s ©Transcript©, ii. 807). 1588. In about this year occurs an Inventory of the goods of John Pigot, scrivener, implying his previous death (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). 1590, Nov. 27. Robert Foxon, adm. bookseller (Clark, i. 321): but on 7 Mar. 1590/1 an Inventory of his goods was taken, implying previous death (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). —— —— Thomas Middleton, adm. bookseller (Clark, _ibid._): he died before 28 March 1604 (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). —— —— Francis Peirce, do.

(Patent Roll 33 Eliz., part 17, Arber’s ©Transcript©, ii. 16). This partly explains the peculiarity noticed in 1591, no. 5 (p. 31, above): clearly it was printed nominally by Barnes, but published in London and perhaps in part printed there. Wright appears as belonging to both cities. 1593/4, Feb. 21. Thomas Gowre resigns the office of parchment seller and is succeeded by William Jennings (Fenninge?) (Clark, i. 322). 1594, Sept. 3. John Barnes, son of Joseph Barnes, is apprenticed to Rich.

Robert Nixon alias Waie occurs as a bookseller (Clark, i. 343): and in 1616/7 (i. 321). 1616/7, Feb. 12. William Wrench becomes a University printer, until 19 Jan. 1617/8: see p. 311. —— John Lichfield, do.: see p. 311: created Inferior Bedel 20 Mar. 1616/7: resigned his offices Jan. 1634/5. 1616/7, Mar. 21. Richard Wylcocks is bookseller (Clark, i. 321, _bis_). —— —— William Turner, do. (_ibid._): is University printer from 1624 to 1644/5: see p. 312. In 1639 he was found to have abstracted in 1634 the Savile Greek type “under the pretence of printing a Greek Chronologer (one Malala)”: and by Feb. 13, 1639/40 had brought them back (Wharton’s ©Remains of Laud©, ii. 174). 1616/7, Mar. 21. Edward Forrest is bookseller (Clark, i. 321). —— —— William Toldervey, do. (_ibid._). —— —— John Westall, do.

Roger Barnes, adm. bookseller (Clark, i. 321): see 1626, below. —— June 10. William Wildgoose, do. (_ibid._). —— June 11. John Allam, do. (_ibid._). The two latter with Christopher Barker, William Johnson and John Chambers were reprimanded on 23 May, 1617, for setting up as booksellers without the Vice-Chancellor’s leave (_ibid._). 1619, July 30. Edward Miles occurs as bookseller (Clark, i. 343): he was Clerk of the University, and died before 1 May, 1637 (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). 1620/1, Jan. 6.

Roger died before 30 Nov. 1631 (of All Saints parish, bookbinder and stationer: Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). 1629, June 16. The University of Cambridge begs the loan of the Greek matrixes given to Oxford by sir Henry Savile: the request was granted on June 30 on Laud’s recommendation, and the matrixes returned 24 June, 1631. The year in which Savile’s famous “silver” Greek type (with which the ©Chrysostom© of 1610–13 was printed at Eton) came to Oxford is not at present ascertainable. 1631. From the fine of £300 inflicted on the printer of the Wicked Bible of this year a fount of Greek type was purchased by Laud (not before 1634) for printing in London, Oxford or Cambridge, as the editors of the books might prefer. As a fact the printing took place in London, from 1637 on. 1632, Nov. 12. The first charter to Oxford allowing printing: printed in App D. II., p. 281: confirmed and amplified, 13 March, 1632/3 (p. 283). Laud in a letter to the University mentions King and Motteshead as two printers the University might well appoint out of the three allowed. 1635. Leonard Lichfield succeeded his father John, as University printer: died in 1657. 1636.

(_ibid._). 1636/7, Mar. 12. See p. 285 (agreement between the University and the Stationers’ Company). 1637, July 11. A severe decree of Star-Chamber is issued, restricting printing, but allowing the rights of Oxford: printed in Arber’s ©Transcript©, iv. 528. 1637. In this year Laud, who had in every way facilitated the acquisition of good Oriental and other type by the University, was able to write to the Vice-Chancellor (on May 5) “You are now upon a very good way towards the setting up of a learned Press.” 1637, Oct. 14. The will of Hugh Jones of St. Mary Magdalen parish, printer (apprentice?), was proved (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills). 1638, Apr. 12. The will of John Wilmot, stationer, was proved (_ibid._). 1639. See under 1616/7 (Turner). 1639, Aug. 12. Agreement with the Stationers’ Company: see p. 287. The following booksellers of Oxford are at present only known from their imprints:— Jackson, Simon, 1618. Cripps, Henry, 1620–39. Peerse, Elias, 1625–39. Curteyne, Henry, 1625–40. Butler, Thomas, 1628. Bowman, Francis, 1634–40. Allam, Thomas, 1636–39. Godwin, Joseph, 1637–39. Robinson, Thomas, 1639–40. Hunt, Matthew, 1639–40. Young, Robert, 1640. [London booksellers who published for Oxford printers are here omitted: see pp. 311–3.] * * * * * [The following discussion of the authorship of the ©Praise of Music© (1586, no. 10) is referred to on p. 20 as occurring in Appendix C, and is therefore here inserted.] ©The Praise of Music© (1586). This work is probably not by John Case, although constantly attributed to him. The facts of the matter may be stated as follows. The book is strictly anonymous: all that can be gathered directly from it is that the author was himself an enthusiastic musician, though not necessarily of eminence; that he was a well-read scholar, as well in the Fathers as in the Classics, and that his style and method point to a man of imaginative mind, young in years, and with considerable elegance of thought and expression. The printer writes a dedication to Sir Walter Raleigh, alluding to the book as “an Orphan of one of Lady Musickes children.” This can only be meant to convey the impression that the author was dead: on the other hand the treatise can only have been composed recently from the allusions to the controversy about Church music: in fact the author was undoubtedly a Protestant in Elizabeth’s reign, who approved of elaborate music in Churches, within certain common-sense limits. In 1588 John Case published at Oxford an “Apologia Musices” written in Latin, and maintaining nearly the same view about Church music as the book before us, to which Case makes no allusion. Case was elected scholar of St. John’s College, Oxford, in 1564; and in 1568 fellow. “But so it was,” says Wood (©Ath. Ox.©, ed. Bliss, i. 685), “that being Popishly affected he left his fellowship and married [in 1574] and ... read logic and philosophy to young men (mostly of the R. C. religion) in a private house in St. Mary Magd. parish.” The external evidence about the authorship in question may be put as follows. In favour of Case is the important fact that Thomas Watson the poet in a sonnet to Case does certainly seem to allude to the English as well as the Latin treatise. Most of the expressions may, and more than one must, apply to the ©Apologia©, but the allusion to Marsyas can only refer to the “Praise,” which indeed is mentioned by name, “Mr. John Case ... his learned booke lately made in the prayes of Musick.” Again, the fact that the ©Apologia© nowhere alludes to the former poem is itself an argument that they were not independent of each other, while supposing that Case was partly ashamed of so light and poetical a production and desired to be judged rather by a more philosophical work, such as the Latin treatise, we can understand a desire to ignore the former. To this may be added that such considerations as the above were sufficient to convince critics like Dr. Farmer, Mr. Joseph Haslewood and Dr. Bliss, as well as almost all others who have considered the point. Against such a conclusion the following points may be urged. Antony à Wood, who wrote lives of all Oxford writers up to his own time, and who was born in 1632, will not even suggest that Case was the author, but on the contrary declares that in all his searches he could never discover who wrote the book. Richard Heber seems also to have argued against Case’s connexion. With respect to Watson’s testimony it must be remembered that he had left the University some years before either book was published, and that it is quite possible that he wrote his sonnet with both books before him and with little on which to form a judgment except an obvious similarity of subject and point of view. Some catalogues are said to have credited the printer with the authorship, and Lowndes ascribes it to Barnaby Barnes! The internal evidence is against the common authorship of the two books. The style of E.[17] is light, poetical and imaginative, with numerous digressions, apologized for and repeated: that of L. is more staid and so to speak scholastic; the sentences and thoughts fall into a logical form which are natural to Case. The latter passes by the mythological part of the history of Music, the former finds it in accordance with his taste. Both authors are learned: in E. the references to the Fathers are as numerous as those from any other source: in L. the references to secular authors predominate. Both draw from common sources, such as the ©Theatrum vitae humanae© of Beyerlinck and the classical authors: but in the longest quotation common to both, one from Ornithoparchus’s ©Micrologus© (E. pp. 39–40: L. pref.), a treatise on singing and music (afterwards, in 1609, translated into English), in which the imaginary descent of Concentus and Accentus from Sonus is given, they differ materially in one point of the account: nor are the explanations of the kinds and effects of the Greek styles of music entirely in accord. So too there are expressions peculiar to each book which could hardly have been absent from the other, had the authors been the same person (as in E. allusions to Mercury’s three parts of music; the Roman college of minstrels; three causes of music, pleasure, grief and enthusiasm: in L. to inanimate nature moved by music, Homer as a minstrel, the idea that strings from wolves’ and sheep’s guts would not harmonize together, bees not having ears, modern musicians). But lastly the personality of the authors is different. Both indeed take up the same general point of view, that music is lawful in a Church, and both entirely neglect the _science_ of music though they profess to be ardent musicians: but in E. there is a distinct purpose to oppose the attempt to exclude all mixed and “exquisite” music from the public services: the author writes to his equals for the purpose of interesting and convincing them: in L. we see the dialectician addressing those trained in the schools and accustomed to the subtle distinctions and formalities of scholastic logic, and also the teacher of youth, indulging in moral and didactic reflexions (pp. 53–55). Once more, Case, according to Wood, was known before 1574 to have proclivities towards the Roman Catholic religion, and accordingly in L. we find no word of blame addressed to that Church, the nearest approach being a note of triumph over the defeat of the Armada on the last page. Could he then have written, as the author of E., the following expressions, all used in contempt, “in the time of popery” (p. 129), “popish church Musicke” (ibid.), “the hypocriticall Monkes and Friers sang their seuen canonicall houres” (p. 133), “rotten rythmes of popery and superstitious inuocation or praying vnto Saints doth not giue greater cause of vomit to any man than to my selfe” (p. 136)? The author of the “Praise of Musicke” may one day be discovered, but he will probably be found to be some other than Dr. John Case. ----- Footnote 16: “St. Mary’s” and “St. Peter’s”, without qualification, are throughout this Appendix used for the parishes of St. Mary the Virgin and St. Peter-in-the-East. Footnote 17: E., the English ©Praise of Musicke©: L., the Latin ©Apologia musices©. APPENDIX D. DOCUMENTS. I. (Statute to prevent the removal of valuable books from Oxford, A.D. 1373: from ©Munimenta Academica©, ed. by F. Anstey (Rolls Series) 1868, i. 233: with _æ_ altered to _ae_.) [Sidenote: A.D. 1373. There are a great many booksellers in Oxford, who are not sworn to the University; the consequence of which is, that books of great value are sold and carried away from Oxford, the owners of them are cheated, and the sworn stationers are deprived of their lawful business; _it is therefore hereby enacted_, that no bookseller, except the sworn stationers or their deputies, shall sell any book, being either his own property or that of another, exceeding half a mark in value, under pain of, for the first offence, imprisonment, for the second, a fine of half a mark, for the third, abjuring his trade within the precincts of the University.] Quia, propter excessivam multitudinem vendentium libros, Oxoniae Universitati minime juratorum, plerique codices magni valoris ad partes exteras deferuntur, veri domini librorum eorumdem exquisitis coloribus seducuntur, a stationariis Universitatis praedictae lucrum consuetum subtrahitur, in Universitatis dedecus non modicum, gravamen et jacturam, habita primitus de praemissis deliberatione sufficienti, per congregationem Regentium antiquam consuetudinem in hac parte renovare volentium _extitit ordinatum_, quod de caetero nullus librorum venditor, publicis stationariis duntaxat exceptis, seu ab eis legitime deputatis, aliquem librum alienum seu proprium vendat excedentem pretium dimidiae marcae, infra jurisdictionem domini Cancellarii Universitatis praefatae, sub poenis inferius annotatis; _videlicet_ quod, si quis legitime convictus fuerit super transgressione hujus ordinationis, prima vice incarceretur, et, in secunda vice et transgressione, solvat dimidiam marcam Universitatis usibus applicandam, tertia vero convictus abjuret officium sive artem venditionis hujusmodi infra limites superius expressatos.

APPENDIX E. WOODCUT ORNAMENTS, TYPE, ETC. A. _Woodcut and Metal Ornaments._ 1585–1640. Of these there are two classes, the first large and used for the centre of titlepages or with conspicuous colophons (these I term _Devices_), the other smaller ornaments, used for borders, or to mark the beginning or end of a chapter, or generally for decorative purposes: these I call _Woodcuts_. The descriptions which follow are not intended to be fuller than is sufficient to distinguish the more important. The measurements (as always) are the least possible, and not the full size of the plate or block. I. _Devices._ Of these there are, in the period under review, fourteen:— A. 3–11/16 × 2⅞ in. On a shield the arms of the University (with motto SAPiEN|TiAE: | ET. | FELi|CiTA|TiS. | ), within a border bearing ACADE=|MIA. | OXONI=|ENSIS. | At the corners are two females and two satyrs. Used in 1585–93, 1597–1600, and at intervals till 1635, but not from 1625 to 1633. B. 1⅞ × 1⅝ in. A metal engraving. In centre the arms of the University, with Sa│et Pi│Fe, within a ribbon bearing ACADEMIA OXONIENSIS. Above and on each side and below are female figures with emblems and scrolls, and underneath all IOSEPH’ BARNESIUS. Used only in 1591. (Barne and Tacitus.) B_a_. 1–15/16 × 1¾ in. A wood engraving from B, omitting Barnes’s name: the motto is SA│et PI│F: and there are other small changes. Used in 1627–8, 1630–33, 1635–7, 1640. C. 1¼ × 1–5/16 in. An ornamental shield, with the arms of the University, the legend being SA│FE PI│LI ET│CI: at the sides AC: and OX. There is a defect (a short line omitted) on one shoulder, which serves to distinguish it from H. Used at intervals from 1592 to 1638. There is a counterfeit of this used in London printing of at least 1616 and 1624: see pp. 106, 120, and H, below. D. 1–7/16 + in. squ. A nine-spoked wheel with two mottos “Omnia subiacent vicissitudini,” and “Sola virtus cadere non potest.” Used in 1592–3, 1620, 1629. E. 1¼ × 1–1/16 in. An ornamental shield with the Royal Arms, and at the sides E: and R. Used in 1594. F. 1–5/16 × 1–3/16 in. An ornamental shield with the arms of New College between two W s (William of Wykeham). Used in 1598, 1605. G. 1¾ in. squ. A circular watch-face, with “Donec dies est . Iohan: 9.4”, and figures: for John Day of Oriel. Used in 1614–5, 1620. H. 1–5/16 × 1⅜. Similar to C, but slightly larger. Perhaps a London counterfeit. Used in 1616 and 1624. I. 2¼ × 1–15/16 in. In centre the arms of the University on a white shield with SAP│FEL IEN│ICIT TJA│ATIS, and round it a band with ACADE|MIA. | OXONI=|ENSIS. At the corners are two winged figures, a rose and a thistle. Used in 1628, and at intervals till 1637, by Turner only. J. 2⅝ × 2–7/16 in. An Agnus Dei; beneath it “IOH : 1 : 26” and “ECCE AGN’ | DEI”, a text round it. Used in 1628. K. 1–7/16 × 1⅜. The arms of the University, with the motto SAP │.ET IENC│FELI TIA │CIT │ATE, and round it ACADEMIA. | OXONIESIS, a cherub above. Used in 1630–4, 1636–8, 1640: in and after 1634 the ATE is altered to ATIS. L. 3½ × 2⅜ in. The arms of Great Britain and Ireland, crowned, with “C.”, “R.” at sides of crown. Used in 1636. M. 4½ × 3⅜. A Tree of Knowledge, boys plucking fruit, &c. Used in 1636 (Lily’s Grammar). II. _Woodcuts._ These are 142 in number (not counting _plain_ woodcut capitals), of which 32 were used by Barnes. Most of these passed on to his successors, who augmented them. In 1627 the two University printers printed separately, and John Lichfield took the larger number for himself, a few being used in common. It would be idle to print a complete list of these, but the writer has full notes of the occurrence of all that are found in each book. Twelve are alphabets, fifteen frames within which any capital could be placed, and four are arched borders. B. _Type._ The following table exhibits the use made of different type by Oxford printers 1585–1640, but applies only to the chief type of the body of the work. Thus Pica Greek is the chief type of a book in 1591 at earliest, but it is found occasionally in 1587, and Long Primer Greek in 1585. So too Great Primer Greek is used in 1624, 9. And Hebrew type is used sporadically from 1596 on (Long Primer, Pica and English, pointed and unpointed: see 1596, 8 & 9; 1601, 2; 1602, 3; &c.)

(_now_) of the type used in the Oxford Press from 1585 to 1640 is as follows, see p. 144 (1629, no. 4):— _Name._ _Lines in one foot._ Nonpareil 144 Minion 120 Brevier about 110 Long Primer 90 Pica 72 English 64 Great Primer 51 Double Pica (which is double “_small_ Pica”) 41 Canon 20 The old measures make the type of all these very slightly smaller than the above measurements. C. _Notanda._ It is curious to observe the small points which break the smooth course of ordinary printing in these earlier times, some of them marking progress, some a perturbation in the office, some stupidity. The following are random notes of some bibliographical interest. 1. The change of use in the case of _u_ and _v_ (_Vniuersity_ being the old spelling, and _University_ the new) may be remarked in progress in 1589, no. 5, and is practically completed by 1610. But a capital U is not found at all in the period dealt with, its place being in a few cases supplied by a large lower-case u. 2. For “at Oxford” the common Latin is _Oxoniæ_, but _Oxonii_ occurs sporadically. _Bellositi Dobunorum_ occurs in 1628: and _Rhydychen_ (in Welsh books) in 1595, 1600. 3. In 1588 (no. 8) we first find an Oxford _édition de luxe_. 4. The state of the office is shown by 1595, no. 4 (small stock of type); 1601, no. 2 (Hebrew words sometimes transliterated, sometimes in Hebrew type: yet in 1603, no. 2, there is a complaint of the want of Hebrew type!); 1625, no. 16 (one sheet in different type); 1628, no. 16 (carelessness). 5. Red ink is found in 1479/80, 1628, 1631, 1633 and thereafter; and gold-printing in 1633. 6. Curiosities of workmanship will be found in 1629, no. 14; 1631, nos. 10, 17; 1633, nos. 26, 33; 1634, no. 9; 1635, no. 3; 1636, no. 15 (signatures); 1638, nos. 3, 17 (do.); 1640, no. 24: and eccentricity on the author’s part in 1631, no. 29; 1633, no. 9 (phonetic spelling); 1635, no. 10. In 1613 no. 29 (Rainolds) on the first two pages of each section the headline is “prophecy”, but on every other page it is “prophecie”. 1634 no. 17 (Statuta) is a true folio, in every sense in which the word is used. 7. The number of books or editions issued at Oxford is roughly as follows:—15th cent., 15: early 16th cent., 7: 1585–1600, 125: 1601–1620, 230: 1621–1640, 370: total, about 750. In the 17th cent. about 2700 were issued: in the 18th, about 2100: in the first three quarters of the 19th, about 6500. The number from “1468” to 1900 may be estimated as likely to be about 16000. 8. Of the Oxford books issued from “1468” to 1640, the British Museum contains less than 70 per cent., and the Bodleian about 80 per cent. The following calculation is not far from the truth:— Oxford books in Brit. Mus. and Bodl. about 450 Oxford books in Brit. Mus. only " 50 Oxford books in Bodl. only " 150 Oxford books in neither library " 100 ——— Total 750 APPENDIX F. IMPRINTS. LISTS AND TABLES OF OXFORD IMPRINTS, 1585–1640. The following tables and lists explain themselves. They give a detailed picture of the mutual relations of Oxford and London printers and publishers, and the development of the Oxford book trade. It will be noticed how the archaisms (_Imprinted at Oxford by_, or _At Oxford, printed by_, &c.) are gradually worn off, with the rhetorical descriptions (such as _celeberrimæ Academiæ typographus_), and the use of colophons. In some cases we find fictitious imprints, as in 1602, nos. 5, 11, 1611 (see impr. 7_a_), 1612 (impr. 7), 1613 (impr. 32), 1616 (impr. 35), 1626 (impr. 67). The number of books with no printer’s or publisher’s name is small (see impr. 107, and Appendix, p. 151 (Stanley)), and of _books_ with no imprint at all there are very few instances, see 1586, 12; 1602, 8 and 9; 1603, 5; 1606, 5; 1622, 6; 1625, 9; 1635, 13. In the list which follows the spelling is modernized, the form alone is exact. 1585.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™ Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
