                                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 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.

  Separate copies can _only_ be obtained by ordering them from the
  Clarendon Press, and are not supplied by the Society.

                        PLAN OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHY


                      15th and early 16th century.

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.

  sign. b 1^r beg. _quod contrahamus_. Contents:—pp. (3–46) the
  treatise.

  The _editio princeps_ of this work by bp. Aegidius de Columna, of
  Rome.

  Contents:—pp. (probably 3–60) the oration.

  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_. [Sign. g 5^v:—]

  (περὶ ψυχῆς) of Aristotle, made by Alexander de Hales (i.e. probably
  Hailes near Winchcombe) the _doctor irrefragabilis_ (_d._ 1245), to be
  distinguished from Alexander de Ales or Alesius. 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”. Date probably 1481: probably
sm. 4^o (but in eights), the chain lines being across the page.]

  signn. a-q^8(?). Contents:—signn. a-m, the work(?), n 1^r-q 8^v,
  Vulgaria Terentii.

  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. [Sign. a 2^r:—] Explanationes

  No place or date [Oxf., about 1483]: (sixes) 8^o: pp. [328], signn.
  A-Z, Aa-Cc^6: Dd^8: sign. B 1^r beg. _nulla proposicio_, Bb 1^r _illis
  superfluum_. Contents:—signn. A 2^r-Dd 5^v nineteen logical treatises,
  the last ending “Explicit tractatus de motu velocitatis. Sequitur
  tabula”: Dd 6^r-8^r, a table in Latin giving the heads of the parts of
  each treatise, each group preceded by “Tractatus”: Dd 8^r “Ad lectores
  carmen” and “Registrum cartarum”.

  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.

                    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

In the Auction Catalogue of the Library of Dr. Abr. de Vries of Haarlem
(Amsterdam, Frederick Muller, 1864) art. 181 was:—“CORCELLIS.—Collection

Smith à v. Damme, une lettre forgée ou falsifié du Comte de Pembroke,

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

subtilis: adipisci eiusde_m_ doctoris doctrinam cupientibus. [at foot:—]

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.

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.”

  euery part”: (9) “Faultes escaped”, i.e. errata.

  For the author &c. see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 169: where it is
  pointed out that the book has a curious history. Its ostensible
  purpose is to uphold the doctrine afterwards called “passive
  obedience” by refuting two books which were regarded as subversive of
  the Queen’s temporal power, (1) ©An apologie and true declaration of
  the institution ... of the tvvo English colleges ... in Rome ... (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

  “Iohannes Casus”: (8–10) “Ad studiosos iuuenes vtriusque academiae”:

  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

  ad nos transuexit ... Londinum diù in hac arte floruit, & non inuideo:
  Cantabrigia eandem nunc didicit, Oxonia recepit, & certè gaudeo. Nam
  si characteres typographi sint vera insignia & arma Mineruæ; vbi
  terrarum potius floreret hæc nobilis scientia, quàm vbi vera publicè
  docetur sapientia? vt enim à fonte in riuum dulcis aqua, ita hîc

  fabulæ, non Aristarchi dentata opera hîc excudentur: ea solùm ex his

  ... Vt ergo Thomas Thomasius collega meus [Cantabrigiensis] suo, ita
  ego Iosephus Barnesius tibi (vir summe) meo patrono dominoque

  in nos meritis vobis vtriusque Academiæ patronis deuincti sumus,
  gratias immortales vterque agimus, maiores in posterum pollicemur”:
  (3) the Vice-chancellor, J. 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. Other editions were issued at Oxford in 1596, and at Frankfurt
  in 1589, 1610 and 1625. See 1596. C.

  Very rare. 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.

  title of Bunny’s treatise: 1–140, the treatise: before p. 1 of the
  treatise is an oblong sheet 5 × 11 in., folded, containing on one side
  in two divisions “A table ... of the treatise following”: on p. 140 is
  also a colophon.

  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.

‘Imprinted at Oxford by _him_ Printer to that famous Vniuersitie.’ My
copy is cut so close at bottom that it is uncertain whether there was
any date added. Dedicated ‘To—Arthur Lord Gray of Wilton, Knight of—the

text, ‘Apocal. 14. 13. I heard a voice from heauen’ &c. At the end of
the sermon ‘September 22. An. Do. 1585,’ Besides; 110 pages, W. H.

  The above is the account of the book in Herbert’s Ames, iii. 1399, in
  the account of Joseph Barnes’s press at Oxford in 1585. 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.

  The above is from Herbert’s Ames, iii. 1401, slightly altered from
  Ames, p. 453: but both are probably errors for 1596: see 1596. C.

  The above is from Herbert’s Ames, iii. p. 1401. In May 1886 the

  was sold at the Bliss sale in 1858 (Catal. pt. 2, art. 7) to Stenson a

  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.

  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.)

  Impr. 4: 1586: (eights) 16^o: pp. [16] + 219 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _that

  title: (3–7) Epistle dedicatorie to the “lady Marie Dudley,” Oxford, 8
  Mar. 1586, signed “T. P.”: (8–16) “To the Christian reader ...” with
  the writer’s name, Th. 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.

  “The antiquitie and original of Musicke ...”

  This work has been constantly attributed to John Case, the author of
  the ©Apologia Musices©, Oxf. 1588, but the present writer believes
  that from internal evidence it cannot be regarded as his. See Appendix
  C, and Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 686. It was reprinted in the ©Choir and

  secunda, iii Id. Iulii 1586. habita.”

  The Bodleian Catalogue suggests that these speeches are perhaps by
  Thomas Savile (see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 591), brother of sir Henry
  Savile, both of Merton. There is no place of imprint, but probably it
  is Oxford printing. Wood did not know the book.

  “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.

  D^6: sign. B 1^r beg. _disticha Ioannis_: Pica Italic. Contents:—sign.
  A 1^r, title: A 2^r-A 8^r “Admonitio Laurentii Humfredi ad Studiosos”:
  A 8^v, “Librorum Novi Testamenti elenchus & ordo per Cor. 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.”

  Impr. 6_a_: 1587: (fours) 8^o: pp. [12] + 435 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _and
  because no_, 111 _with all rigor_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title:
  (3–6) epistle dedicatory to the earl of Leicester: (7–12) “The
  Argument of the xlv. Psalme, seruing for an Argument of ... the
  Canticle of Canticles ...”: 1–435, the sermons (thirty-one) on the
  Song of Solomon chapp. 1–3.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 138. 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).

  fortuito_: Pica Italic. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–16) the treatise.

  This anonymous treatise is a formal and precise legal argument on the
  question “Utrum legatus alicuius principis absoluti vel ipse princeps
  absolutus morte sit afficiendus, si in aliena republica, contra vitam
  principis vel salutem totius reipublicae, nefariam coniurationem
  fuerint machinati.” It was intended to support Queen Elizabeth in her
  resolution to execute Mary Queen of Scots, and seems to have been
  written after 4 Dec. 1586 (p. 13) and before the execution 8 Feb.
  1587: but there is no clue to the author.

  that mourn in Sion ...”: 11–62, the work: (1) “To the reader”
  explanation and erratum.

  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.

  Humfrey: A 1^r-L 4^v, the poems, in Latin: L 4^v, an erratum.

  Sir Philip Sidney died at Arnheim 7 Oct. 1586. Dr. William James, dean
  of Christ Church, urged W. Gager to collect and edit poems which had
  been privately made at the time of Sidney’s death: the editor found it
  necessary from considerations of space to reject Hebrew, Greek, French
  and Italian poems, but it may be doubted whether the printer possessed
  Hebrew type. See next art.

  Herbert earl of Pembroke, in Latin, by “Ioannes Luidus,” New college,
  Oxford, 26 Aug. 1587: 5–54, the work: 54, two errata.

  The title is an allusion to the spurious Peplus of Aristotle, a
  commemoration of the heroes who fell before Troy. The editor was John
  Lhuyd, and the poems (almost all Latin) are all by New College men,
  among whom the earl of Pembroke, Sidney’s brother-in-law, had been
  educated. See preceding art., and Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 523.

  Other editions were printed at Oxford in 1589, 1591, 1595, 1601. The

  a cento from the Tractationes Theologicae of Ursinus (vol. 1, 1587,

  Oxford edition. The Bodleian copy wants the title and all after p.

  Each idyll is preceded by an “argument” and followed by an “embleme”

  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.

  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

  believed to be lord Essex (Edm. Bolton’s ©Hypercritica© ad fin., Oxf.
  1722). There is something peculiar about this edition, for
  bibliographers describe it as London, and the woodcut in the
  dedication is not otherwise known to belong to Barnes. The titlepage
  and form are rather of London than Oxford. A metal engraving in the
  text is perhaps Barnes’s: see 1591. B.

  The first edition of this book was issued at London by Thomas

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 283. In the preface the author promises a
  similar analysis of the Topica, Sophistici Elenchi (see 1598. P) and

  A translation into Welsh by Hugh Lewis of Wermueller’s ©Spiritual and

  into English by Miles Coverdale (_Lond._ 1550). See M. Williams’s
  ©Cofrestr o’r holl Lyfrau printjedig ... yn y Faith Gymraeg ...©
  (Lond. 1717), ©Cambrian Bibliography© by the rev. William Rowlands,
  ed. by the rev. D. S. Evans (©Llandidloes©, 1869, 8v^o), p. 71. This
  is the first Welsh book printed at Oxford and the first occurrence of
  Rhydychen (Oxenford) in Oxford imprints. The translator begs the
  reader to excuse the absence of _y_ in some places before _n_ and _r_,
  the printer’s stock being too small. For the same reason _dd_ is
  usually _d’_ and _ll_ _l’_. If a word is here and there omitted it
  should be remembered that the printing is done by Englishmen!

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 687. The first address shows that for a
  time the printer refused to produce the work, which is related to the
  ©Speculum© of 1585, for fear that it might be reprinted at once
  elsewhere, and he suffer loss as in the case of the ©Sphæra Civitatis©
  of 1588. See 1586. C. A presentation copy has red lines round the
  page, on three sides double. This book is strictly the second part of
  the next art., Case’s ©Speculum©.

  the same year with small differences in the text chiefly of spelling,
  but with considerable changes in the prefatory matter: see below. It
  was also reprinted in 1819 at the Lee Priory Press, and edited by dr.
  Grosart in 1881⁂. The poem is in 7-line stanzas, rhyming ABABBCC.
  Woodcut ornaments occur at the top and bottom of almost every page,

  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 the ©Ancilla

  colophon.

  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).

  lectorem”: 5, “Capitula libri sequentis”: 7–62, the work in 20
  chapters: (3–10) “Appendix de manuscriptis Oxoniensibus.”

  Rare. 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.

  The Bodleian copy, which belonged to Robert Burton, is perhaps unique.
  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 682, where extracts are given from this
  poem, which is chiefly in a peculiar 7-line stanza, ABABBCC. G. on the
  titlepage is no doubt _Gentleman_.

the Catalogue of the Printed Books in the British Museum to the Oxford
Press, was certainly not printed there.)

  sufficient to establish a connexion with Barnes’s press: nor is the
  present place of any copy known to the editor of Rowlands.

  In the preface to the sermon it is hinted that the publication of the
  sermon was prevented when it was first delivered “now more then a

  about the Incarnation; 9 a funeral oration on Ursinus (who died “6
  Mar. 1583”) by Francis Junius: (1) “Faultes escaped.”

  Rare. The editor apologizes in the preface for this “three weekes
  worke,” due to the importunity of the printer, after the editor had
  given over the task when only begun.

  leaf contains a woodcut of the royal arms between two pillars
  connected by a scroll bearing the words VIVAT·RE· On the base of the
  columns are “I” “D” (the engraver’s initials?). The woodcut, which is
  of a rough character, is 5–7/16 in. × 6–15/16 in. A curious usage has
  been pointed out to me: on sign. D 4^v, E 2^v, P 4^v, Q 1^r and
  perhaps elsewhere Hebrew words are transliterated, but in _b_ 2^r, O
  3^v, O 4^v, P 1^r unpointed Hebrew type is used. In the Laing Sale ii.
  3709 (15 Apr. 1880) there is mention of a 1600 edition of this book.

  with the author’s name is that of 1616. An edition of 1586 (London) is
  in the British Museum, but the other four preceding the present one
  appear to be unknown. See 1616. B, 1654. B, 1673. B: other editions

  Oxford, signed “Johannes Buddenus”: (7–11) complimentary verses, in
  Latin, except one Italian sonnet by Alberico Gentile: 1–84, the work.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 282. Budden was philosophy reader at
  Magdalen (afterwards principal of New Inn hall and Broadgates hall),
  and this biography was entrusted to him by the college. 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. Rhetoric is more prominent than
  historical treatment.

  “The names of the [seven] Tractes contained in this Booke,” and a
  quotation: 1–287, the treatises.

  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. (John
  xx) and “A Tracte of _Vertue_ and _Vice_.” Unpointed English and Long
  Primer Hebrew is used on pp. 1, 26, 67, 107.

  Christian Reader,” Winsam, 22 June 1602: 1–51, the treatise.

  Rare. See preceding art. 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.

  See 1606. H, and Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 60, 518, iii. 18, where a
  bibliography is given of the controversy excited by Dr. Howson’s
  Thesis. 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. Decretum de Gratiis Collegio rependendis.
| [the text of the decree.]

  No imprint, but probably printed at Oxford: (1602?): (one) fol.: pp.
  [2]: l. 11 beg. I. _Imprimis_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (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. [Orders for the Market of the City of Oxford,
issued by the Chancellor of the University: beg. “Thomas Baron of
Buckurst,” ends “transgressor of this commaundement. God save the
Queene.”]

  No impr.: [not later than 1602]: (ones) fol.: pp. [4]: English Roman.
  Contents:—pp. (1, 3) the orders (probably 30 in number).

  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).

  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.

  (3–4) “Auctoris Præfatio ad iuventutem bonarum artium studiosam”:
  1–228, the work: (pp. (3–4) not seen.)

  Rare. 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.

  Nov. 12. 1602, signed “Robert Burhil” who issued the sermon: (15) “The
  chiefe points of matter ... in the sermon ...”: 1–63, the sermon, on
  Jer. ix. 23–24.

  Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 360. The preface states that the
  sermon was issued without the knowledge of the author, he being too
  modest to publish his works.

  (5–8) short poems by Davies: (8–16) complimentary verses to the author
  or book: 1–28, “A Preface ...” to the king: (29–38) “Cambria to the

  extasie,” a poem: (1–20) short poems by Davies, including two to
  Magdalen college, p. (17): (20–29) complimentary verses to the author
  or book.

  Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 262, and 1605. D. 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.

  orders: signed at end “Matherne. Sept. 30. 1603. _Fr. Landaven._,”
  i.e. F. Godwin, then bp. of Llandaff.

  Very rare. Orders of the bishop of Llandaff for the reformation of
  abuses in his diocese. The woodcuts are sufficient to prove by their
  particular imperfections that this is a product of the Oxford press.

  More than 470 Latin poems, with a few in Greek, Italian, and French.
  On p. 17 there is a complaint of the lack of Hebrew type. There is an
  earlier and less common issue without the “Votum typographi,” the page
  being left blank.

  Cambridge, beg. “Many and excellent”: 1–5, “The humble petition of the
  Ministers ...”: 6–32, “The Answer ...”.

  Three other issues are known:—(_a_), title identical except that the
  imprint is no. 25: after p. (13) comes (14–16) a letter from the
  University of Cambridge to that of Oxford in Latin, 7 Oct. 1603,
  introduced by a few sentences “to the reader”: the rest identical:
  (_b_) with title identical till the 9th line which runs:—“_opinion, of
  all the Deanes and Chapters, and all other_ | _the learned & obedient
  Cleargy, in the Church of Eng:_ | And confirmed by the expresse
  consent of the | Vniversitie of Cambridge.) | To the humble Petition”
  [&c. as before]: with the same imprint as (_a_), but in small roman
  type. 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. Of these four editions
  or issues, the first is very rare, being perhaps stopped in the course
  of issue: _a_ is common, _b_ less so, _c_ rare.

  Chiefly Latin poems in memory of queen Elizabeth: a few Greek occur,
  one Hebrew (p. 5, cf. 97, 171), one French (p. 64), one Italian (p.
  171). The longest poem is one by Robert Burhill entitled “Invitatorius

  Extremely rare. The only known copy, in the Bodleian, has sign. A 4
  imperfect, and has lost all after that leaf. The pamphlet was
  reprinted with slight changes at London in 1613 with the title “Three
  bloodie Murders ...” of which this is the first. “The Life,
  confession, and heartie repentance of Francis Cartwright, gentleman;
  for his bloudie sinne in killing of one Master Storr, Master of Arts

  Storre was a Fellow of Corpus Christi College at Oxford.

  See 1613. A. This controversy about the Descent into Hell began with
  the manuscript (?) objections referred to in the title: then came this

  ©Limbomastix, that is a Canuise of Limbus Patrum© (published without

  Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii 466. and 1620. J. The catalogue
  includes also the MSS. then in the Library. In the dedication the
  “Bibliotheca Bodleiana” is stated to be not yet four years old, having
  been formally opened on 8 Nov. 1602. The preface gives an interesting
  account of the early history of the Library. In the pagination a leaf
  is omitted after p. 426, but “457” follows “450”: the total number of
  pages is no doubt 726 (signn. ¶ A-Y^4 Z^2, Aa-Zz, Aaa-Zzz, Aaaa-Xxxx^4
  ( )^1), so that Upcott (©English Topography©, iii. p. 1122, Lond.
  1818) is wrong. Other editions of the complete catalogue of Bodleian
  printed books were issued at Oxford in 1620, 1674, 1738 and 1843, and
  one of the MSS. in 1697.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© i. 758. These two treatises on the moral state
  of England are printed without list of contents, index or even
  division into paragraphs. No one but the author and compositor can
  have ever read them, and the former had been insane, though according
  to Wood he recovered his powers.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© i. 754, ©Fasti Oxon.© i. 366. The poems, which
  are all except one (Greek) in Latin, are by New College men and edited
  by William Kingsmill of New College, a nephew of Warcop, who was
  himself at Ch. Ch. The device on the titlepage bears the arms of New
  College, between W. W. (William of Wykeham).

  Impr. 25_a_: [1605?]: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 80: p. 11 beg. _Therefore the
  wise_: Pica Roman. 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.

  Impr. 7: 1607: sm. 4^o: pp. [16] + “271” (really 269, for 249–50 are
  omitted in the pagination) + [3]: p. 11 beg. _the first booke_, 111
  _fained voice_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within lines:
  (3–4) dedication to prince Charles: (5–8) “To the Noble Reader”: (9)
  “The Subiect and Order of these six Bookes”: (15) some errata, with
  introductory note: (16) dedication of the preface and book 1 to lord
  Hay: 1–10 the preface: 11–271, the work in six books each with a
  dedication, see below.

  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. The author was not an Oxford man, nor, apparently, connected
  with the place in any way.

  (23) “Errata ...”: 1–124, the work.

  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.

  See 1609 D, and for the author Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 142. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 267 where the date 1608 may be an error
  for 1607: and 1629 P, 1639 P, both of which edd. supply the date of
  the dedication as “1 Jan. 1607 = 1607/8,” but are otherwise apparently

  indicates connexion. The Bodleian MSS. quoted seem to be MSS. Bodl.

  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).

  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.

  parishes: (55–72) “Summorum Oxoniensis Academiæ Magistratuum

  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. See 1620

  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.

  sign. B 1^r beg. _animum, artem_, L 1^r _In Aquarius_: Pica Roman.
  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). HERACLITUS: | OR | MEDITATIONS VPON
THE | vanity & misery of humane life, first | written in French by that
excel-|lent Scholler & admirable di-|vine _Peter Du Moulin_ Mi-|nister
of the sacred | word in the refor-|med Church | of Paris: | _And
translated into English by_ | R. S. Gentleman. | [_woodcuts._]

  Impr. 7_a_: 1609: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [14] + 121 + [1]: p. 11 beg.
  _time is_, 111 _will say_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (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.]

  on p. 48 “Etiam sic sentio, sic credo. I. D.”.

  For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 42. This is a reprint,

  honourable and right-vertuous Ladie, the Ladie M. H. ...”: (5) “The
  contents of this Apologie”: (6) the arms of the University: 1–66, the
  work.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 420. Wood is mistaken in calling Reuter a
  Welshman. He was a Silesian from Cottbus, as he testifies above and in
  the admission register of the Bodleian, 3 Sept. 1608. L probably
  stands for Licentiatus utriusque juris. He was never matriculated.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 222. The dedication states that the
  treatise was completed many years before (1595?) and that archbp.
  Whitgift had it in his hands and approved it. The advertisement gives
  further details of the occasion and history of the treatise. The note
  alludes to Bunny’s connexion with Robert Parsons’ ©Resolution© or

  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. See 1613 H.

  France”, beg. “WHen Iudas with a kisse betraid his Lord.”

  The only copy known is in the British Museum. A bitter satire against
  the Jesuits. In each piece the stanzas consist of four English lines
  and a Latin clause of the Pater Noster or Ave Maria (24 and 8
  respectively). This piece was probably not printed at Oxford, two of
  the woodcuts being not otherwise found there.

  Latin distiches: A 8^v “Ad Lectorem,” promising 10 Centuriae.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 148, and 1612 R. This is a first
  instalment of 111 distiches on Kings and Queens of Britain: only the
  second part (Episcopi) seems to have subsequently seen the light, in
  1612.

  This is a reissue of the sheets of 1607 C, errata and all, with a new
  titlepage sewn in, the old one being torn off. The new titlepage was
  not printed at Oxford, as is shown by the woodcut ornaments and
  general style, but probably by W. Stansby for John Barnes in London.

  Thomas Clayton, dated from Oriel coll. Oxford, 11 July (1612).

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 412, and 1615 D. The dedication gives a
  complete list of the Heads of Houses, and two official orders of the
  Colleges, in dignity, and in antiquity. The letter gives details of
  possible future publications by Day and personal points about dr.
  Clayton, who advised the printing of this sermon. At p. 21 is a list
  of Founders of Colleges.

  Erratum: 59–104, the 2nd sermon, on the same.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 412, and 1615 D. The second sermon is
  stated by the author to have been his first preached as Vicar of St.
  Mary’s, succeeding mr. Wharton. At p. 40 he mentions Tuesday as a
  proverbially fatal day to the Irish.

  the work, entitled “A Confutation of Purgatory.”

  The Friar against whom this book was written was Jacques (sign. A 4^r)
  i. e. Jacques Suares, and the two Doctors were P. V. Palma Cayer and
  A. Duval (sign. A 3^v). The first French edition was printed in 1603,

  dedication to the memory of prince Henry, in Latin: A 3^r-E 2^r, the
  poems: E 2^v “Lectori ξυναποθνήσκοντι,” an epilogue.

  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.

  of Magdalen College, on the death of Prince Henry (_d._ 6 Nov. 1612),
  who was connected with the College through his tutor John Wilkinson.

  Rare. There is another issue of this book in the same year, identical
  in every respect, even to the Errata, except that on the title after
  the asterisks and before the woodcuts come the words “_First written
  in French by_ Ph. | Mornay, _and now translated_ | _into English_”
  instead of the single line of the first issue. The second issue
  appears to be less rare. In each sign. A 1 is almost entirely gone,
  which consisted of the titlepage in some early form before a preface
  was decided on. The preface even in the second issue pretends that the
  author is unknown to the translator: who _may_ be identical with the
  “I. V.” of 1615 M.

  by “I found it only dedicated to a Hand, and to that hand I addresse
  it”), signed “T. A.”: (5–7) glossary of Indian words, with a few
  sentences &c.: after p. (8) a map, see below: 1–39, “The description
  of Virginia by captaine Smith”: (2) title, “The proceedings of the
  English colonie” &c. as next art.: (4–5) “To the Reader”, signed “T.
  Abbay”: 1–110, the Proceedings.

  Very rare: priced in Quaritch’s Rough List 88, (1888), no. 174 (cf.
  181), at £125: the map alone at £40. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 650.
  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.”

  This is an appeal made by Travers, who was afternoon preacher at the

  inhibition from preaching issued against him by the Privy Council.
  Travers was ordained at Antwerp, and had imbibed Genevan doctrine with
  which he opposed Hooker. See Hooker’s ©Answer© above. Both treatises

  Coverdale’s preface is omitted. This was reprinted at Cambr. in 1851,
  and one of the others at Oxford in 1828.


                                 1613.

1. ¬Answer.¬ A | BRIEFE AN-|SWERE VNTO | Certaine Obiections | and
Reasons against the Descen[/]|tion of Christ into Hell, late[/]|ly sent
in writing vnto a | Gentleman in the | Countrey. | [_motto_, then
_woodcut_.] |

  Impr. 32: 1613: the rest precisely as 1604 A.

  A reissue of the sheets of 1604 A, with a new titlepage not printed at
  Oxford, the woodcut on title being unknown there.


2. ¬Basse¬, William. 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.

  (without the sermon) was made by Benefield’s pupil Henry Jackson
  (_ibid._ iii. 578) and published at Oppenheim in 1615, the preface
  being dated 21 May 1614 and addressed to Abraham Scultetus who had
  visited Oxford and made a friendship with Benefield. 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.

border of woodcut ornaments.]

  Impr. 32: 1613: &c. precisely as 1610 B.

  This is a rare reissue of 1610 B with a new titlepage printed (not at
  Oxford, for the woodcut in the title is unknown there, but) at London,
  perhaps by W. Stansby. The old titlepage was simply cut off, and the
  new one pasted in.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 18. The bibliography of the controversy
  excited by the fresh oath of Allegiance imposed after the Gunpowder
  Plot is too intricate to be here treated. It was begun by card.
  Bellarmine (“Matthaeus Tortus”) and James I, and followed by bp.
  Andrewes’ ©Tortura Torti©, Andreas Eudaemon-johannes (André
  L’Heureux’s) ©Parallelus Torti ac Tortoris© (Colon. 1611), Martinus

  Impr. 7_a_: 1613: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 27 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _The Church

  _mentis luxuriȩ_: English Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 2^r,
  Latin preface to the reader: A 3^r-B 2^r, the oration.

  Rare. Little seems to be known of the subject of this Oration. Sir
  George St. Paul of Snarford never matriculated or took a degree,
  though according to the oration a commoner of Corpus for two years.
  His work at Lincoln and Stamford is described, and his munificence to
  the College and the new Schools at Oxford.

  _Innocent in his_, 111 _of this, but this_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p.
  (1) title: (3–16) “The preface to the Reader”: (17–18) “A table of the
  matters contained in this third booke.”: 1–484, the work.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 169. The title of the complete work is
  “Defense de la foy catholique contenue au livre de ... Iaques I Roy de
  la grād’ Bretagne ... contenue en trois liures. Contre la Response de
  F. N. Coeffeteau ... Par Pierre du Moulin ... 1612.” The 3rd book was
  subsequently printed separately in French also, with the title
  “Accomplissement des propheties ... Par Pierre du Moulin ...”. The
  original work by King James I is “Triplici nodo, triplex cuneus. Or an
  apologie for the oath of allegiance ...” (anon., Lond. 1607, and with
  author’s name Lond. 1609 &c.: in Latin ©Apologia pro iuramento
  fidelitatis©, Lond. 1609, &c.). Coeffeteau’s book was “Responce a
  l’Advertissement ... par le ... Roy de la grande Bretagne ...” (Par.
  1610). See _Burhill_, above.

  Author to the Praisers of his booke”, a short poem: A 6^r-E 8^v, the
  200 epigrams.

  Very rare: see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 350. This author escaped
  Wood’s notice altogether, and his claim to be an Oxford man eluded
  even dr. Bliss when he edited Wood in 1815: but he subsequently writes
  in a MS. note, “I have now no doubt but that the author of
  ©Linsi-Woolsie© was of Jesus, matriculated May 18. 1604, a native of
  Glamorgan, pleb. fil., æt. 20: B.A. Dec. 17. 1607.” The verses are
  extremely poor. The only copy at present known is that in the British
  Museum, which was the Heber copy (Heber sale, 1834, pt. 1, p. 141, no.
  2734.)

  the 40 Articles, in elegiac verse, the 40th being “De Articulorum
  ratificatione”: (1–2) “De numero & nominibus Articulorum”, a list: (2)
  “Ad lectorem”, a Latin poem.

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 343. The verses are a paraphrase, with
  short additional poems of a meditative kind, written during an
  illness.


13. Godwin, Thomas. “©Romanæ Historiæ Anthologia. An English Exposition
of the Roman Antiquities ...© Oxon. 1613 ... &c. qu.”

  So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 52, but probably a misprint for 1614,
  which see, though Wood’s apparent error is copied by Watt, Bohn’s
  Lowndes, &c.

  question and answer.

  Rare. For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 461, where _Banbury_
  is twice a misprint for _Bunbury_.

  This book consists of about 80 poems (four in Greek, the rest in
  Latin) in memory of sir Thomas Bodley by members of Merton college, of
  which society Bodley was a fellow. 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. Oxon.©, ii. 126.

  the titlepage (“Cavalliere”), followed by some Errata in the Latin:
  the references oddly are to _pages_.

  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.

  24. 1613.”: 1–37, the sermon, on Deut. xxxiv. 5.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 22. The author seems to have been
  private chaplain to sir E. Giles. He quotes against himself in the
  dedication a thesis disputed at the Act in Oxford 1613 “Doctior
  quisque fuit in scribendo parcissimus.”

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 512, and 1614 P. The essay, which
  contains some personal matter about prince Henry of historical
  interest, was written for 6 Nov. 1613. The text, head-line and margin
  of each printed page are within bounding lines.

  At present this book is only known to me from a titlepage at the end

  unless the 1614 edition caused its recall or destruction.

  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. Every printed page
  has bounding lines to the text, margin and head-line.

  Rare. 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.

  severall arguments with the severall Texts of Scripture, of every
  severall Lecture in this Booke”, with a quotation: 1–329, the twelve
  lectures, with a page occasionally blank: (1–2) “To the Reader”:
  including a few errata.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 52. This was a popular work, see 1616 G,

  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. The author apologizes for an English treatise on such a
  subject, and states that one of his main objects was to illustrate
  Cicero.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 393, and 1639 J, 1671 J. The original
  edition of this celebrated ©Apologia© was published in 1562, an
  English translation in the same year, and a German in 1589. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 489, where it is related that Price
  earned the name of “the Mawle of Heretics” for his violence against
  Roman Catholicism. The preface gives some biographical details of
  Price, incidentally.

  the work, p. 20 being blank.

  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).

  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. (sir William?)
  Periam’s to one Orford of Exeter Coll., Oxford.

  as before, with “William Hinde”: 1–50, one sermon, on 2 Thess. ii. 3.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 16, 462. 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.

  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.

  This is a second issue with some of the text reset, with additions and

  “of Speech more warrantable.”

  dedicatory to D^r Prideaux rector of Exeter college Oxford “my most
  respected good Master,” signed “I. V”: 1–28, the homily.

  The “I. V.” is supposed to be John Verneuil sublibrarian of the
  Bodleian, who was a Frenchman by birth: but he was of Magdalen and so
  not very likely to dedicate his first work to the head of another
  college. 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.

  Latin: (9–16) Psalms 43, 114, 117, 119 (part), 133, 150, in Latin
  rhyming verse, perhaps a separate piece of printing.

  See 1639 P, 1660, 1676, 1689, 1726, all which editions differ in the
  details of contents, and the 1639 ed. is entitled “Liber Psalmorum et

  the Psalms a separate book, whereas the Stationers’ Company had
  obtained in 1603 a monopoly of printing the Psalms, confirmed in 1615.

  ©Admonitio© declares that the Appendixes are not ready and must be
  omitted. There is no clue to the author in the book. The only copy I
  have seen (in Queen’s College Library, Oxford) has the Appendixes of
  the second edition bound with it, so possibly they were printed in
  time to be issued with some copies.

  diseases of the eyes, gathered _out of_ Fernelius _and_ Iohn Riolamus
  _Doctors of Phisicke_.”

  See Wood’s ©Ath. 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.

  Very rare. 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. The British Museum catalogue supplies the
  author’s name.

  Very rare: for the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 633. 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.

  1620: 1–539, the catalogue in alphabetical order: 1–36, “Appendix ad
  catalogum priorem.”

  This is a new edition of 1605 J, arranged in one alphabetical order of
  authors’ names. 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

  (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.

  propositions. 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 absence of a dedication is unusual.

  (2–3) not seen.

  Rare. 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.

  These are Directions to preachers in the Diocese of Oxford, to
  restrict their choice of subjects and treatment of them within the
  bounds of the XXXIX Articles. The Directions are dated 31 Aug. 1622,
  and quote mandates from the King (4 Aug. 1622) and the archbp. of
  Canterbury (12 Aug. 1622). It is perhaps doubtful whether this is
  genuinely a separate book from _Abbot’s_ Letter, above.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 3 and ©Hist. and Antiqq. of the University

  delivered by William Knight of Broadgates Hall in a University sermon
  on Apr. 15, 1622, founded on principles of David Pareus, to the effect
  that subjects may take up arms against their sovereign. The
  propositions and censures were considered in a Convocation 25 June
  1622. The form of oath to be taken by all future graduates is
  appended, and a note that Pareus’s book was burnt on 6 June 1622.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 315, 463. The poems are nearly all in
  Latin, but 5 are Greek, 2 Hebrew, one French, and one English: there
  is one chronogram. The “Oratio funebris” is clearly an added piece.


9. ¬Rawlinson¬, John. “©The Bridegroom and Bride©: On Cant. 4. 8. Ib.

  So in Wood’s list of Rawlinson’s sermons (©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 506). It
  was preached in 1662 and re-printed at Oxford in 1625, but Wood’s
  statement is explicit, and there may have been a separate issue in
  1622, though I have not met with a copy or other reference to it.

  This is a reply by a Cambridge man to Francis Anthony’s supposed
  discovery of a medicine called Aurum Potabile, in his ©Apologia

  controversy see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 416. This work was sent to
  press at Oxford in 1616, but recalled before printing.

  (1578–79), for 5000 years. The lease was disputed by the College in
  1621 (“about two yeares since”), and again in this Case, which sets
  out the reasons for annulling the same.

  Great Primer Roman. Contents:—( ) 1^r, title: 2^r-4^r, the Latin poem,
  at end “_Faciebat R.A._”

  A Latin hexameter poem on the death of sir Thomas Reid, of whom I do
  not readily find any account. No part of this was printed in Oxford,
  the woodcuts and type being unknown there: even the small device of
  the Arms of the University on the titlepage (which has caused this
  work to be ascribed to the Oxford Press) differs from the genuine one.
  No doubt the book was printed in London.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 424. The book was entered at Stationers’
  Hall to Will. Turner, 18 July 1623. The author, whose initials only
  occur in the book, was at this time bishop of Chichester: the editor
  Vicars had married the bishop’s daughter. Sir Chr. Heydon’s book was
  published in 1603 at Cambridge, and a second book by him on Astrology
  published in 1650 was followed by a reprint of the present work in
  1651.

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 457. The title and each page are within
  bounding lines. The author gives as one of his reasons for printing
  the sermon, that it was very wet when he delivered it, so that his
  auditors were few.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 422, and 1635 C. The treatise is of the
  theory and principles of Geography, not of details like Heylyn’s
  ©Microcosmus©. The author maintains that the earth is the centre of
  the universe, the sun and planets revolving round it! There are many
  woodcut diagrams in the text.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 629. A singular sermon, more learned than
  theological. The title seems to be explained by pp. 20–21, where
  Antonio Possevino (_d._ 1611) is cited as planning a purgatio
  bibliothecarum in the interests of the Roman Catholic Church: to this
  James opposes his plea for freedom of research.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. This is a reprint of the text of the
  ©Humble ... Request© below (except the last paragraph beginning “For
  the raising of the charges,” which James probably saw to be
  unpractical), with the addition of comments, written in senile style
  but obviously by dr. 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).

  No imprint or date, but Oxford, 1625 (perhaps 1624) (eight) 16^o: pp.

  the request, signed “T. I. S. T. P. B. P. N.” (i. e. Thomas James,
  Sanctae Theologiae Professor: for B. P. N. see note to 1599 R.: but
  the occurrence of the letters here without any text or motto favours
  the interpretation “Bono Publico Natus”): (1) a form of approbation of
  the scheme, signed by 17 leading men in Oxford.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 217. 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. For other edd. see 1637 W, 1662.

  Pica Roman. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 339. 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.

  answers in Latin verse: 1–25 the two diatribae; 27–63, the concio, on
  Jud. 11.

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

  (3–4) “To the Reader,” unsigned, but by William Pinke the translator,
  see below: (5–8) “A Table of the Chapters”: 1–173 The Examination, in
  41 chapters and a Conclusion: (2) “Faults escaped in some copies,” 6¼
  lines of Errata.

  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.”

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 273. The “P. T.” of the title seems to
  be _Pro Tempore_: the use of 1626 for 1625 or 1625/6 is noticeable.

  See 1631 F, 1636 F, 1662, 1678. The printer says that he has cleared
  this edition from the errors of Froben’s. I have seen a copy in which
  the type of pages 12 and 13 has changed places. The work is an apology
  for Christianity.

  See 1621 H, Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 557. In the copy seen on p. (2)
  at the end of the book, in the original printing of the English lines
  beginning “But whither goeth”, l. 6 (beg. “Into safe”) is before l. 4,
  making nonsense: and a corrected reprint of the whole 12 lines is
  pasted over the faulty original.

  Rare, see 1589 R. Of bp. Rider’s double lexicon the first part at
  least (English-Latin) was published at Oxford in 1589. In 1606 Francis
  Holyoke supplied a Latin-English part (based on Rider’s Index) and
  published both at London. Subsequent edd. of the two parts together
  are Lond. 1617, Lond. 1626 (ed. N. Gray), the present one Oxf. 1627,

  Lond. 1659, (acc. to Bohn’s Lowndes, s.v. Rider, where however since
  1637 is an error for 1627, this 1659 may be one for 1649), and, edited
  by Thomas Holyoke son of Francis, Lond. 1677.

  dated 5 Dec. 1626: A 3^r-C 2^v, the oration.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 445. The oration is of considerable
  interest for the history of Oriental studies at Oxford. 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. Pasor was lecturer on Arabic only from 1626 to 1629.
  Some Arabic MSS. in the Bodleian are mentioned on sign. B7^r and B7^v.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 38. The first four books contain Great
  Britain. The signatures begin again with the 10th and with the 11th
  book, but every book is separately paged. The matter is a mixture of
  history and geography.

  Chichester, one dated 7 Jan. 1622 or 1623: 7–32, the discourse, on
  Luke xii. 32.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 443. The original treatise of Coelius
  Secundus Curio (an Italian, _d._ 1569) entitled “... De amplitudine
  beati regni Dei dialogi sive libri duo” was first published in 1554,
  and his contention that the number of the saved is greater than that
  of the lost is here refuted.

  The first edition of Airay’s Logic, see 1633 A, 1660. The preface

  Leigh, dated “from the publique Library in Oxford this 30 of Aug.
  1628”: 5–6, “To the Reader”: 7–48, the treatise.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 222. The author states that when he
  first came into England he “belonged unto” Sir Tho. Leigh and his
  grandfather of the same names. The “sovereign judge” of the treatise
  is declared to be “God speaking in the Scriptures.”

  So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 422, where Wood relates that the Lond.
  1629 ed. (and presumably all subsequent editions) is expurgated of
  passages supposed to reflect on Arminianism. See 1640 C. The British
  Museum, Bodleian, Advocates’ Library at Edinburgh and the Library of
  Trinity College, Dublin, do not seem to possess a copy of either of
  the two first editions.

  See 1630 C. The author was Giovanni della Casa, and the translator
  Nathan Chytraeus, whose initials occur on p. 1: but the copy seen had
  no trace of “J. W. de Umbra variæ,” though the binding was original.
  There are many editions of the Italian and Latin forms of this
  treatise (see 1630 C and 1665), and some of an English translation.
  Pp. 1–128 of this edition were reissued as part of the 1665 edition.

  the second, on Hos. iv. 6: 27–43, the third, on Heb. iii. 12–13:

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 331 (where “Lond.” is an error for
  “Oxf.”) and 1629 P. Pemble died in 1623. The editor was a pupil of
  Pemble (Wood’s ©Ath. 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.

  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.

  scripture quoted ...”: (69) “Errata”.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 256 and 1627 H. The chief additions in
  this new edition are to be found in the “Advertisements”, the fifth of
  which contains some complimentary letters about the first edition by
  archbp. Ussher and others. The engraved title measures 10–3/16 × 6⅛
  in. and bears a London imprint, “London. Printed for Robert Allott, at
  the | Beare in Paules Churchyard. 1630”, and six allegorical scenes
  surrounding a short title, beneath which are the arms and crest of the
  author. “T. Cecill sculp”, probably in London.

  May 1630: a chronogram is on p. 43.

  editor: 1–64 the work.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 331. Pemble died in 1623: but the
  treatise was reissued in 1669 (according to Cole in Bliss’s Wood’s
  ©Ath. Oxon.©) and in 1685, both times at Oxford, as well as in the
  collected editions of Pemble’s works (3rd ed. 1635 &c.) at London.
  There are several woodcut diagrams, but the whole book is occupied
  solely with what the author calls the general part of Geography, that
  is to say with the “nature, qualities, measure, with other general
  properties of the earth”, and not with a description of separate
  countries.

  1632.

  24: 1–28 a second sermon on the same text.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 475, where the 1631 edition with four
  sermons is confused with this in which there seem to be only two. The
  3rd ed. (Oxf. 1636) and 5th (Oxf. 1659) contain also four. 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. Pinke died in 1629.

  [28] locorum communium”.

  Piscator (Fischer?) died in 1626, and the first edition of the
  ©Aphorismi© appears to have been issued in 1592. This edition is often
  found bound with the Catechismus Oxf. 1629.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 179, and 1631 P & W (2nd ed. of this
  Sermon), and also an answer to Prynne. The long preface contains an
  account of Puritans, in their ten subdivisions of Perfectists,
  Sermonists, Separatists, Anabaptists, Brownists, Loves-familists,
  Precisians, Sabbatarians, Anti-disciplinarians, Predestinatists.

  Acontius Iohanni Wolfio Tigurino ...” a letter on the method of
  preparing books, dated “Londini xii Kal. Decembr. MD.LXII”: (27–32)
  “Index rerum præcipuarum ...”.

  The first edition was published at Bâle in 1565 and there are English
  translations (1648, &c.): the sheets of this Oxford edition were
  reissued at Oxford in 1650 with a printed titlepage. 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.

  (1) arms of the University and colophon imprint.

  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.

  title: (5–12) “To the Reader”, by the editor, giving the author’s full
  name: 1–164, the work, a discourse on Acts ii. 37: (1) Michael
  Sparke’s business mark.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 515. 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.

  except p. (4) is blank, and “At Gresham ... London” is omitted, as
  well as “M^r. Brermwoods”.

  See 1630 B, of which this is a corrected reprint: the editor in the
  interval discovered the difference between _Sabaoth_ and _Sabbath_,
  and uses the latter only, in the first edition using the former only!

  See 1628 B, of which this is a reprint, with the two additional
  treatises. 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.

  Idea Philosophiae Naturalis: (1) blank: for the rest see next article.

  The first edition of the Natural Philosophy was in 1622, and of the
  Moral in 1623, both at Leiden: both were again issued at the same
  place in 1626 and the Moral Philosophy again in 1629. The 4th ed. was
  in 1637 (Oxford), the next 1641 (Oxford), and others followed, but not
  at Oxford. The next art. is strictly part of this book, but is in form
  quite independent. Burgersdijck died in Feb. 1635 or 1636.

  the Promises”: 1–203, the 105 Legacies: (2–4) a short conclusion:
  (6–17) “A table ...” or index; (18) Michael Sparke’s business mark.

  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”.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 654, where Wood quotes two letters about
  this book, one against it from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s
  Secretary, one for it by Laud, which show that the book was in course
  of printing in May-June 1631, but not yet published on June 22. 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.

  In 1622 the year of Pareus’s death several of his treatises were

  including his commentary on the Romans. Underlined words in the title

  See 1630 P, of which the 2nd and 3rd sermons here are reissues of the

  Every page has a double headline, but the four sermons are separate in

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 450. 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.

  The first edition was presumably in 1621, but the ordinary
  bibliographies do not give the date, except one which gives 1606.
  Other Oxford editions were issued in 1655 and 1672, and several others
  in London and abroad.

  Disputationum”: (8) a Latin 6-line complimentary poem signed
  “Philalethes”: 1–680, the forty dissertations.

  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.

  dedicatory to sir Justinian Lewin, dated “from my study in Saint
  _Iohns_ (Camb.) x Calend March. T. W.”: 15–25 “To the Reader”, signed
  “T. W.”: (25–26) “The Titles and Contents of the severall Chapters
  ...”: 1–162, the work: 163–167, “The Close”, a poem: 168, “Catastrophe
  Lectori”, an English poem.

  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.

  defended”: (20) Latin poem: 1–531, the work, with notes: 532, “To the
  Reader”: 533–49, the first Aeneid of Virgil in English verse: (1)
  “Errata”. 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.

  This is a reprint of 1628 A, and appears to be rare, for Wood believed
  the 1660 edition to be the second.

  This is a general undated form of Articles of Visitation apparently
  for a Bishop’s or Archdeacon’s use. The occurrence of a particular
  woodcut shows that this is the earliest year to which the printing can
  be assigned.

  (2–29) the index: (29) “The Printer to the Reader”.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 210 (where this edition is not
  mentioned), and 1634 B. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 308. Patrick Young was Library
  Keeper to the King’s Library at St. James’s Palace (now the Old Royal

  Alexandrine MS. of the Greek Bible. Red ink is used in the words
  underlined above, and for “Oxonii,” and “Academiæ” in the imprint, and
  for all words in the text which are supplied by the editor, who calls
  it “Novum et inusitatum imprimendi genus”. Some copies are on large
  paper, and some have an inserted leaf containing “Summa Privilegii”,
  reserving rights of translation, reproduction and sale for ten years.
  This leaf is found before or after the dedication.

  At present only known from a titlepage in the Bagford Collections at
  the British Museum (463. h. 4, no. 1110), but it is not likely to be
  really rare. The 2nd edition seems to have been issued abroad in 1620,
  and a “3rd” in 1630, of which this is probably a reprint.

  within line: A2^r-A2^v. introduction in Latin, English and French:
  A3^r-C6^v, the work.

  Very rare. 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.

  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.

  and Rhetoric of Aristotle. What is considered to be the barbarous
  element in the Philosophy, is not clear.

  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 |

  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).

  §2^r-N2^r, the poems.

  Poems by members of the University congratulating the King on his
  return from Scotland in Aug. 1633. 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.

  A2^r-L3^v, the poems.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 26. This sermon was to have

  interposed, and it is here in an enlarged form.

  (1–2) “Epilogus”: (4–51) The four indexes.

  The author was an Italian Jesuit, who died in 1637. The first edition
  of this work seems to have been issued at Lyons in 1620.


31. ¬Pemble¬, William. ‘©Enchiridion Oratorium.© Ox. 1633 “qu.” &c.’

  So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 331. 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.

  work.

  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.

  misprinted 198), the Classis Tertia: (1–28) indexes: (29–34) not seen.

  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©.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. 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.

  oftener. The head-line throughout is “Instructions for young

  of the Arms of the University, and impr. 73 _b_.

  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:—

  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.

  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 size of the woodcut is 4–5/16 × 5¼ in. See next entry.

  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

  For the editor (_d._ 1608) see Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i.
  249. 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.

  Titulorum ...”: A1^r-p1^v, the Corpus, in 21 Tituli: p2^r-aa2^v,
  “Appendix Statutorum ...”: bb1^r-ee2^v, “Statuta Aularia”.

  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.

  by Daniel Heinsius on the book: 1–185, the work: 186–190, Latin elegy
  by Nic. Burgundus addressed to Puteanus.

  A satire on the gluttony and other luxurious vices of the age, in the
  guise of a dream of what takes place among the utopian Cimmerii. The
  first edition was issued at Louvain in 1611: this may be the second in
  Latin. Puteanus died in 1646, having lived during most of his life at
  Louvain.

  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.

  principall Matters and Words ...”: (25) “Errata”.

  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).

  work, by Saltonstall: B1^r-F7^v, the work.

  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. See 1633 G.

  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. The subject is treated in scholastic style by
  _quaestiones_.

  Impr. 142: 1634: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [20] + 194 + [14] + 93 + [3]: pp.
  11 beg. _kind^e. A third_, and _unto fresh Rivers_: Pica Roman.
  Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines: (3–14) Epistle dedicatory
  to lady Elizabeth Basset, dated “Barstable ... 1609. Januarie 1 ...”,
  signed “Ricard Smyth”: (15–16) “The Contents ...”: (17–20) “The
  sinners counsell to his Soule”, a poem: 1–194, the work: (3) a title,
  within double lines:—“HERACLITVS: | OR | MEDITATIONS | _Vpon the
  vanitie and mi_⸗|_serie of humane life_; | First written in French by
  | that excellent Scholler and | admirable divine _Peter Du_ | _Moulin_
  Minister of the sa-|cred Word in the reformed | Church of Paris_:_ |
  _And translated into English_ | _by_ R. S. _Gentleman_ | [two
  _lines_]”, impr. 142: (5–8) Epistle dedicatory by the translator to
  his father “S. F. S.”: (9–14) “The author’s Epistle dedicatory to the
  Lady Anne of Rohan, ...”, signed “Peter Du Moulin”: 1–93, the work.

  For the first work see 1612 S, of which this is a simple reprint.
  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 274. The matter is arranged
  in a kind of logical order and disposed in divisions and subdivisions.
  Both the dedicatees matriculated at Exeter College in 1632.

  book, in Latin.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 511: the author was principal of St.
  Alban hall and, as the title indicates, Juris Civilis Professor
  Regius. Wood’s reference to a 1636 8^o edition of this book may be due
  to a confusion between it and the ©Elementa Jurisprudentiae© by the
  same author.

  Contents of the second Booke ...”: 1–286, the second book: (1–2) not
  seen. There should be four tables as in the 1625 edition, and there
  are numerous woodcut diagrams in the text.

  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. AMORVM | TROILI | _ET_ | CRESEIDÆ | Libri duo
priores | _Anglico-Latini_. | [_woodcut._]

  Impr. 95 _a_: 1635: sm. 4^o: pp. [28] + 105 + [8] + 160 [“159”] + [1]:
  p. 11 beg. 13. _Great rumor_, and 15. _With that they_: English Roman
  italic and Pica English. 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**.

[_motto_, with translation.]

  Impr. 126: 1635: sm. 4^o: pp. [16] + 404: p. 11 beg. _the Prince of_,
  301 _that it was_: English Roman. Contents:—(p. 1) title: (3–16) “To
  the Reader”: 1–15, the treatise on justifying faith: 17–189, “A
  defence of the former treatise ... against the answer of N. B.”: 191,
  a title:—[two _lines_] | OF | THE FAITH | OF | INFANTS, | AND HOW THEY

  sometimes Fellow of_ | _Emanuell Colledge_ | _in Cambridge._ |
  [_woodcut_, then impr. 126.]: 213–272, the treatise: 263–290, “Of
  sitting and kneeling at the Communion”: 291–296, “How S. Paul and S.
  Iames are to bee reconciled in the matter of Iustification”: 297–309,
  “... of the Creed ...”: 310–315, “A short Catechisme”: 316–320,
  “Peccatum formaliter & propriè non esse infinitum, exercitatio
  aduersus N.”: 321–325, “Of choice of meats and Abstinence”: 326–355,
  “An answer unto certaine reasons for Separation”: 356–365, “Of vowes
  and specially that of virginity”: 366–369, “A letter” of consolation:
  371–376, “The blessed Virgin Mary is truly Deipara, the Mother of
  God”: 377–404, religious poems and translations in verse, including a
  translation of Muretus’s Institution for Children.

  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. The introduction to the first piece gives an amusing account of
  the controversy with Baxter.

expressed the | Doctrine of ¤CHRISTIAN | LIBERTIE¤. | _By the R^{t.}
Reuerend Father in God_, | ¤GEORGE DOWNEHAM¤, | _Doctor of Diuinity and_

  Impr. 154: 1635: (eights) 12^o: pp. [8] + 156 + [4] + 80, and one
  folded leaf: pp. 11 begg. _of righteousnesse_, and _In the new_, 101
  _euen by_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines:
  (3–7) “To the ... Reader ...”: 1–156, the work, in 26 sections: 1–23,
  7 additional sections: 25–76, “The necessity of handling the question
  concerning Christian Libertie”: 76–80, “A Prayer”.

  For the author see Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 255: see 1636
  D. The words underlined in the above title are in red ink, as well as
  “Oxford,” and “William Webb.” in the imprint. A folded leaf should
  follow the introductory matter containing “The Table” of the 26
  sections. The signatures show that pp. 1–24, 25–76 in the second part
  are genuine additions, but genuinely part of the book.


6. ——. THE ¤CHRISTIAN¤S FREEDOME | [&c., precisely as the preceding
article, except that “THE SECOND EDITION” is added as a new line after
“_Derry_.”]

  Impr. &c., precisely as the preceding article.

  A simple reissue of the sheets of the first edition, room for the
  additional words on the title being found by slightly depressing the
  woodcuts. Perhaps the folded “table” was not issued with the second
  edition. Some copies have the date 1636.

  Πρυτανεῖα: English Roman. Contents: p. (1) title: (3–5) Epistle
  dedicatory to sir Lewis Watson, dated “Saltry All-Saints ... Iuly 30.
  1633”: 1–28, the Sermon, on Luke xviii. 3.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 611. Sir L. Watson was the
  author’s patron.

London title, see below.]

  Impr. 68: 1635: (sixes) la. 8^o: pp. [52] + 606 + [10] + 378 + [42]:
  pp. 11 beg. _dan, and Scaliger_ and _dence doth worke_, 501 _of

  is blank: (13–22) “the preface”: (23) “An Advertisement to the Reader
  occasioned by this third impression”: (24–30) testimonies to the book
  and author: (31–45) “The contents ...”: (46–49) about sesterces: (50)
  extract from Boethius, with translation: (51) “An index of the tables
  added ...”: 1–606, the work, bks. 1–4: (3–6) controversial letters of
  bp. G(odfrey) G(oodman) and dr. Hakewill: (7–8) two encouragements to
  the author: 1–378, the works, bks. 5–6: (1–24) index to bks. 1–4:
  (25–30) index to bks. 5–6: (31–35) authors quoted: (36–42) texts
  quoted: (42) “Errata”.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 256, and 1627 H. The engraved
  title is identical with that of 1630 H, with the date altered. Books
  5–6 appear in this edition for the first time, the former being
  chiefly directed against bp. Goodman’s ©Fall of man© (Lond. 1616) as
  reasserted at greater length in about 1630 by the author, whose
  arguments are printed in the course of this book.

  title, within double lines: 1–34, the first sermon, on Ex. xx. 21:
  1–40, the second sermon on 1 Cor. i. 12.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 438. 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!

  Epistle dedicatory to his father Henry: 1–208, the observations: 209,
  “An aduertisement to the Reader”, not seen.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 927, where other editions are
  mentioned, some with extended range of subject. The words underlined
  in the above title are printed in red, as well as “Oxford” and
  “William Webb.” in the imprint. The signatures of the prefatory matter
  are peculiar: as four blank leaves precede the title, these were
  neglected and the leaf following the title bears *2 instead of *6, no
  others having any printed signature.


12. ¬Montague¬, bp. Richard. ¤APPARATVS¤ | AD ORIGINES |

  Impr. 151: 1635: (fours) la. 8^o: pp. [30] + 393 + [11]: p. 11 beg.
  _sponsum est_, 301 _vetus Anna_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title,
  within border and double lines: (3) dedication to the memory of James
  i: (5–29) “Præfatio”: 1–393, the work, in 11 Apparatuses: (1)
  “Errata”, a long list: (2–11) “Index”.

  The author, a Cambridge man, though at this time bp. of Chichester
  (1628–38), signs the dedication as “R. M. humillimus Ecclesiæ
  Cicestrensis Minister”. This work discusses pre-Christian antiquities,
  as preparations (apparatus) to the Life of Christ which is the subject
  of the same author’s ©Origines Ecclesiasticæ© (tom. i, 2 parts, Lond.
  1636, 1640). The underlined words in the above title are printed in
  red, as well as “Oxoniæ,” in the imprint. A copy was presented by the
  author to Henry Spelman on 4 Sept. 1635.

  No imprint, but Oxford (?), 1635 (?): (one) la. 4^o. Contents:—p. (1)
  the Encyclopædia.

  This is a fine sheet, engraved by “T. Cecill” on metal, 16–3/16 ×
  16–1/16 in. In the upper part there is a dedication of “hæc
  Encyclopædia et Synopsis Statutorum” to archbp. Laud. 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.

  columns.

  These are extracts from the newly printed Corpus Statutorum, for the
  use of junior members of the University, but the fuller edition in
  book form first issued in 1638 (which see,) was taken as the model for
  all succeeding issues. 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.

  printed books. The preface shows that Verneuil’s book, see below in
  this year, could be regarded as a part of this work, though formally
  distinct. Rouse’s name does not occur, but is necessarily inferred
  from the preface.

  poem, by C. B.: 98–100, five short Latin poems, signed at end “H. G.”

  This appears to be a reprint of the 1615 (London) edition, with the
  addition of the poem on pp. 64–100. 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.

  Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 1010, where will be
  found an interesting account of Bushell’s discovery of a peculiar rock
  at Enstone near Oxford, and of the ceremonies with which it was
  presented to the Queen. The speeches and songs, presented by a hermit,
  the author himself, Echo, &c., were set to music by Simon Ive (see
  sign. B2^r).

  reprinted in 1881 in Fitz-Geffrey’s ©Poems©.

  engraved title, inserted: (5–10) Epistle dedicatory to George marquis
  of Buckingham, signed “Philanactophil”: (11–19), “To the Reader”:
  (20–24) “The preface of Lucius Florus”: (25–26) not seen: 1–336, the
  Histories: 336 “The end of the foure Bookes of the Roman Histories ...
  translated into English by E.M.B. 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.

  The two previous editions of Grotius’s work were issued at Leyden in
  1617, while Vossius’s ©Responsio© was published at the same place in
  1618. Words underlined in the above title are in red ink, as are also
  “Oxoniæ,” and “MDCXXXVI” in the imprint. N is omitted in the series of

  _comprehenderunt_, 111 _Sic Ovid_: Long Primer Roman and English.
  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.

  Impr. 112_a_: 1636: (eights) 12^o: pp. [42] + 176 + [2] + 117 + [1]
  and one folded plate: pp. 11 beg. ἐκ τοῦ φοβεροῦ, and _qui Geometriæ_:
  Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (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.

  Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title, within a border of woodcuts
  between lines: 3, dedication to the queen: 5–30, the masque.

  Rare. 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.”

  a-d^4, e^2, A-C^4, D^2, and a folded leaf: sign. b1^r beg. _Diva

  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

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 26. The dedication to the son
  shows that Parsons had known the father for 20 years.

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.

  Impr. 153_a_: 1636: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [24] + 156 + [24]: p. 11 beg.
  _interpositionem_, 111 _riosos interemit_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p.
  (1) title, within double lines: (3–12) dedication to Hieronymus
  Voeglerus, dated “Ex arce Gottorpiana V. Kal. Augusti CIↃ IↃ CX. T.
  Ioan. VVouwerus”: (13–23) “... Prolegomena”: 24 “Errata”: 1–124, the
  work in 28 chapters: 124–154, Dousa’s Declamatio: 154–156, Dousa’s “In
  eandem rem Carmen”: (1–4) “Index auctorum”: (5–22) “Rerum memorabilium
  Index.”

  This appears to be a reprint of the first (1610) edition omitting the
  Elenchus Capitum and adding Dousa’s Essay. The work is a fanciful
  treatment of the subject of shadow.

  note of parts still wanting to the complete treatise, and “Errata”.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. 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 |

  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.

  (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.

  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.

  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.

  1 _Verba vel Nomina_: English Roman. Contents, see below.

  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.

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.

  Impr. 72: 1637: sm. 4^o: pp. [6] + 52 + [6]: p. 11 beg. _Tertiò,
  portento_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) “Ad lectorem”,
  signed “Samuel Hartlibius”: (5) title:—“PORTA SAPIENTIAE | RESERATA_:_

  “Præcipua Capita Didacticæ Magnæ, à Domino Comenio elaboratæ ...”

  This is a kind of prospectus of the encyclopædic work on education
  which Comenius was at the time contemplating, and although issued by
  Hartlib without the permission of the author, partly in order to
  gather the opinions of scholars on the scheme, it was not displeasing
  to Comenius, especially since some of his critics suggested a
  _Collegium Pansophicum_ to work out the details. 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.

  Very rare. Only known from a titlepage in Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5937,
  no. 140. See note under _Booker_ above. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iv. 276. 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.

  1–297, the work, in 31 chapters: (2) Note and “Errata.”

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 939. 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.”

  11.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. 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.

  P. 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.

  Scheibler’s ©Metaphysica© was first issued in 1617, and reissued at
  Oxford in 1665, as well as often elsewhere. Bp. 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.

  76^v) also describes a copy: and it is probably not really rare, but
  has escaped the nets of the larger libraries.

  The first edition of this work by Emanuele Tesauro (_b._ 1581) was
  published in 1619 at Milan, and a third at the same place in 1643.
  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 222. 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.

  “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.

  are two unnumbered leaves) + [9]: pp. 11 beg. _judgement_ and _®i®n

  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.

  Rare. 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.

  border of woodcut ornaments: (3–7) “To the courteous and ingenious

  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.

  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.

  Croke, in whose house he died. 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.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 446. 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. Conversely there are copies of this edition with the
  1636 title and no ornament at the back of the folded plate.

  1–86, the sermon, on Deut. xxxii. 7.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. 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.

  lines: (3–4) dedication to lady Penelope widow of viscount Bayning:
  1-“42”, the poems.

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 468. 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.

  A1^r title, within double lines: A2^r-d4^v, poems.

  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.

  plates: p. 11 beg. _libros de Cœlo_, 201 _non priùs_: Pica Roman.
  Contents:—p. (3) title, within a border: (5–7) “Admonitio ad lectorem
  de veteri Calendario omisso”, with a table of “Non Dis.” days: (8)
  Explanation of symbols used: 1–197, the statutes: 198–205, “Statuta
  Bibliothecæ Bodleianæ ... 1620”: 207–213, “Επινομις: seu explanatio
  Iuramenti ...”: (2–3), not seen: (4–12) “Elenchus Materiarum”: (14)
  “Errata ...”.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 448. The author’s name occurs
  in Langbaine’s Preface. Ranchin’s ©Revision du Concil de Trente© was
  published anonymously in 1600.

  1–114, the play in five acts.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 787. 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. The sheets of this work were
  reissued as part of Taylor’s ©Treatises© (Lond. 1648).

  This is not dated, but the copy seen bore a summons to
  Stratford-on-Avon officials, filled up with the date 11 Apr. 1638. It
  could not be earlier than 1635 from the woodcut ornaments used and the
  printer, and is probably of the year 1638.

  Considerations: (1–11) the Epistle: (12) “Errata”.

  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.

  title, see below: (3) title, within double lines: (5–11) “To the
  Reader”, signed “F. B.”, the printer F. Bowman: (13–15) “An
  advertisement of Mons. the King”: (17–47) letters, a poem &c., see
  below: 1–249, the letters: (2–5) “A table of the letters”.

  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.

  1–184, the work.

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 411; but nothing seems to be
  known of the author at present. The book is a Latin grammar in
  English, for the use of which latter language the author excuses
  himself. 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).

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 69, and 1640 C. Cartwright’s
  poems and plays were published together in 1651, the author having
  died in 1643. The scene of this play is laid at Sardis. An account of
  the performance at Christ Church, at which the scenic arrangements
  seem to have been very elaborate, will be found in Wood’s ©Annals©
  under the year 1636.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 184. Dugres or Du Gres had
  already issued a French grammar at Cambridge in 1636, and new editions
  of his Dialogues, with rules of pronunciation and tables of verbs,
  were published at Oxford in 1652 and 1660.

  A (George?) Foxley is mentioned in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iv.
  137, as preaching in London in Jan. 1648/9. Copies of this treatise
  differ in the imprint, showing that it was published both at Leicester
  and Bristol. Each page is within lines, doubled at the top and outer

  books: (2–8) “Index capitum et articulorum” in the order of the book:
  (10–22) “Index rerum memorabilium”, alphabetical.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 921. The dedication mentions
  that the bishop had built the old palace at Cuddesdon, reformed the
  altars throughout his diocese, and suitably inscribed the Cathedral
  communion plate. Sign. A4^2 is paged 28 by error.

  Laud’s benefactions to the Bodleian. The absent professor was dr.
  Edward Pococke. Some copies have imprint 176.

  18, no. 323) an Oxford edition of 1639 is mentioned; as well as in
  Ersch and Gruber’s Encyclopædia: but the edition itself is not in the
  greater libraries and ordinary bibliographies. The first edition was
  in Dutch in 1722, the Latin editions before 1639 were all published at
  Leyden in 1624, 1627, 1629, 1633 and 1637. There are Oxford editions
  of 1660 and 1662, as well as later.

  Memorial.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 411, where Wood says that the
  first part was written in about 1607, and that the writer died in June
  1627: that Laud refused to license it for printing in 1635, because it
  was so strongly worded against Roman Catholicism, and that after this
  failure the son, sir Edward Hungerford, “got it to be printed at
  Oxon”, with the Memorial.

  2–331, the work, Latin on the verso of each leaf, Greek on the recto.

  See 1614 J: the first English and Latin editions were in 1562. It is

  1637.

  books: (2–11) “A Table of the chapters...”.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 655. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 972. There are subsequent
  editions of the play in 1658 (Oxford) and 1659 (Oxford). The preface
  is depreciatory of the work, stating that it was at first written “out
  of obedience,” and that it was only published in self-defence to avoid
  a threatened unauthorized issue in London.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 675: the author, according to
  the dedication, was a Franciscan at Toulouse, converted to
  Protestantism by Stephanus de Cursol, settled at Exeter and patronized
  by bp. Hall. 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.

  woodcut facsimiles of cipher-alphabets, &c. The engraved titlepage by
  W. Marshall (9⅝ × 5¾ in.) bears the title on a sheet suspended between
  two obelisks representing Oxford and Cambridge: above it are two

  title within double lines: (3–11) Epistola dedicatoria to James lord
  Strange, dated “Oxonii è Musæo meo in Collegio Ænea-nasensi, Nono Cal.
  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).

  For an account of the earlier editions, see Wood’s ©Ath. 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.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 422. 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. Ca.) friendly hand given
  it safe conduct over the Surges of the Ocean, in all likelyhood it had
  perished on the Netherland shores.”

  Opusculo Johan. 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.

  one by Martin Llewellin: (35–39) “A table of the chapters”: (39)
  “Errata”: 1–363, the work, in 39 chapters.

  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.

  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. The present is the first
  edition, and the only quarto one.

  Actors”: 1–73, the play.

  The authorship of this play is doubtful. The first edition (Lond.
  1639) was entitled “The Bloody Brother. A Tragedy. By _B. J. F._” i.
  e. Ben Johnson and Fletcher?, and it was entered in the Stationers’
  Register on 4 Oct. 1639 as by “J. B.” Massinger is also supposed to
  have had some share in it. See the ©Dict. of Nat. Biogr.© under
  Fletcher, p. 308, col. 2.

  (3) “To the Reader”, signed “P.P.”, the editor: (4–11) seven
  complimentary poems to the author, alluding to Shakespeare’s, Ben
  Johnson’s and Randolph’s deaths: (12) Errata: 1–96, the play, with
  epilogue.

  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 ...
            Hyes to pale Shakespeares urne, and from his tombe
            Takes up the bayes, and hither she is come.”

  English poems: _e_4^v “The Printer to their Maiesties”, an English
  poem, signed “Leonard Lichfield.”

  These are verses to celebrate the birth of prince Henry, 8 July 1640
  (_d._ 1660). Most are in Latin and English, but three in Greek, two in
  French, one in Hebrew. The signatures as usual show the difficulty of
  getting the poems sent in in time and arranged in proper order.

  These are reprints of Diatribae 7 and 8 out of the entire set of
  twelve which form the ©Amœnitates©. The Thyrsi are short essays on
  _aculei_, which are pointed sentences on friendship and love. The
  editor (and printer) mentions the ©Suada Attica© as “nuper excusa”:

  exercitationes &c.: 513–534, “Syllabus exercitationum” and short
  pieces, ending with “... Puteanus Lectori ...”: (1–2) blank, the rest
  (if any) not seen.

  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.
  See preceding article.

  Impr. 174: 1640: (eights) 16^o: pp. [28] + 134 + [2] + 87 + [7] + 101

  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.

  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).

  Contents:—pp. (1–4) not seen: (5) title, with border within lines:
  (7–24) dedication to all true Believers, by the editor: (25–32) “To

  1–157, the 105 legacies: (1–2) “A postscript sent from the Authour”:
  (4) a title within a line:—“AN | EPITOME OF | PROMISES | FOR THE |

  (1–4) texts: (6–9) “A Postscript, to all true Beleevers”: (10–18,
  20–22) “Five Tables ...” or indexes.

  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.

  Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 626, and 1615 S. The
  only copy I have seen, in Queen’s College (Oxford) Library, is
  interleaved, and wants the two appendixes, which probably occupied the
  same number of pages as in the 1631 edition.

  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.

  See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 469. The dedication is of the
  modern kind, not an epistle dedicatory, and the printing is unusual,
  the first words of a paragraph being generally projections to the
  left, instead of indented.

  in two parts: (1) “Errata”.

  See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 511. The signatures establish
  a connexion between the two divisions.


26. ——. “_Descr. Juris & Judicii sacri; ad quam Leges, quæ ad Religionem

  So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. 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.

Pp. 8–9. ¬Pliny and Lystrius.¬

  Something can be added to the account. The two original books in
  dispute are in the John Rylands (Spencer) Library at Manchester, and
  the _locus classicus_ for their history is naturally in Dibdin’s
  ©Bibliotheca Spenceriana© (1814), ii. 271, iii. 411: where will be
  found a reproduction (in type) of the two titles and colophons. 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. [Antonii Syrreti Formalitates de mente magistri
Johannis Duns?] | Scoti ordinis fratrum minor¿um¿ doctoris
sub⸗|tilissimi cum nouis additionibus et con⸗|cordantijs magistri
Mauritij de por⸗|tu hybernie in margine decora⸗|te et nouiter impresse:
| [two Latin verses, then a woodcut of the Trinity with “Henricus
Iacobi” and printer’s mark at foot, then two more Latin verses] |
¶Uenu¿m¿dantur in vniuersitate Oxonien¿si¿. Sub | intersignio
sanctissime Trinitatis ab Hen⸗|rico Jacobi bibliopole Londonien¿sis¿. |

  This interesting title is found on a fragment of two leaves discovered
  by Mr. R. G. C. 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. 14. ¬Bilson¬, Thomas. _Add at end_:—

  A curious account of an abortive effort on the part of Edmund
  Bollifant and three partners to produce a reprint of this book, will
  be found in Arber’s ©Transcript of the Stationers’ Registers© II
  (1875), p. 793.


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. QVÆESTI-|ONES IN
OF-|FICIA M. T. | CICERONIS: | Compendiariam totius | _Opusculi
Epitomen_ | continentes. | [_woodcuts._]

  Impr. 5: 1586: (eights) 12^o: pp. [68], signn. A-D^8 E^2: sign. B 1^r
  beg. _rum alterum_: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title within a
  border, A 2^r-2^v, dedication to Laurence Humphrey, signed “Thomas
  Brasbrigius,” “Banburiæ, Idibus Nouembris, 1586”: A 3^r-E 2 (printed E
  3)^v, the questions and answers: E 2^v, two Latin lines signed “I. P.
  Iohannensis.”

  Very rare. For the author, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 526.
  The preface contains some autobiographical details. There appear to be
  at least three editions of this work, 1586, 1592 (q. v.) and 1615 (q.
  v.), all printed at Oxford.


                                 1589.

P. 28. ¬Skelton¬, John.

  Lord Spencer’s copy is of course now in the John Rylands Library at
  Manchester.


                                 1591.

P. 31. ¬Tacitus.¬ _Add at end_:—

  On 25 May 1591 a patent was issued to Richard Wright of Oxford and his
  assigns to print Tacitus’s ©History© in English, during his lifetime
  (Patent Rolls, 33 Eliz. pt. 17, mentioned in Arber’s ©Transcript of
  the Stationers’ Registers© II (1875), p. 16). The metal engraving of a
  Roman Camp reappears in R. Grenewey’s translation of the ©Annals© of
  Tacitus (Lond. 1598, 1604, 1622).


                                 1592.

  See 1586 in this Supplement.


P. 33. ¬Elizabeth.¬

  There is a perfect copy of this rare pamphlet in the great
  Gloucestershire collections at Chestal, Dursley, in the possession of
  the Phelps family, kindly pointed out to me by F. A. Hyett, Esq. The
  title is:—SPEECHES | DELIVERED TO | HER MAIESTIE THIS | LAST
  PROGRESSE, AT THE | Right Honorable the Lady RVSSELS, at | Bissam, the
  Right Honorable the Lorde | CHANDOS at Sudley, at the Right |
  Honorable the Lord NORRIS, at | Ricorte. | [_device._] On the verso of
  the title is a preface “To the Reader” signed by “I. B.” the printer.


P. 33. ¬Gager¬ (no. 7).

                                 1593.

P. 35. After no. 4 _add_:—

¬Oxford¬, New College. Ex donatione Magistri Fran-|cisci Bettes LL. D:
Socij huius Col-|_legij_. _Anno Domini. 1593._

  This is a book label, found in Spiegelius’s ©Lexicon Juris Civilis©,
  1549 (Oo. xii. 5), and perhaps in other volumes in New College Library
  at 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.

                                 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.


P. 42. _After_ ¬Agatharchides¬ _add_:—

¬Brett¬, Richard, of Lincoln College. Theses M^{ri} BRET respondentis in
Comitiis. | Oxon. 1597. | [text follows, as below.]

  A single sheet, 8½ in. high by 6 broad, printed on both sides,
  containing three theses. 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.


P. 43. _After_ ¬King¬ _add_:—

¬Oxford¬, University. “Qvaestiones sex, totidem praelectionibvs, in
schola Theologica, Oxoniae, pro Forma, Habitis, Discvssae, Et
Disceptatae Anno 1597.”

  So in the Catalogue of W. H. Holyoak, 75 Humberstone Gate, Leicester,
  “March 1888,” no. 10: the copy was sold on Jan. 3, 1890 to the rev.
  Shaw Urmstone of Manchester.


                                 1598.

  3^r, the work: G 4 I have not seen.

  Very rare: the only copy at present known is in Corpus Christi Library
  at Oxford. Even Wood (©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 210) had not seen this first
  edition, since he implies that the date is 1600. See 1600 B, 1618 B,
  1629 B.


                             1598 and 1599.

  The article ¬Lomazzo¬ has been inserted under 1599 instead of 1598,

  _Appendix_: Pica (?) Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 529–40, tables,
  see below.

  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. Harl. 5932, fol. 45 (Bagford’s collections), and
  no doubt the intended publication was abandoned.

                              APPENDIX A.
                      The Fifteenth Century Press.

            (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.

In the first place some details of the various books will be given: then
an account of the type and presswork: and lastly a description of each
book supplementary to, and corrective of, that contained on pp. 1–4.

Manchester.


                        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.

  In 1862 a copy in F. S. Ellis’s catalogue (p. 14, no. 957) was priced
      £110.

  Fragments:—Leaves a 2, a 7, a 8, b 4, c 1, c 3, e 3, e 6–8 are in the
      Bodleian.


                    2. ¬Aretinus¬ (1479, see p. 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. Wanting a 1, a blank leaf. In this copy alone there
      is a director for the large O of _Omnis_ on b 1^r. Owned by Will.
      Davis in 1792: then in the Grenville Library: marked “7. p. 115.
      1,” 8. 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,

  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.
      Marked 1215. k. 1, 1215. k. 6, 45. b. 30. 135, now C. 37. h. 10.

  2. Bodleian. With border. Perfect. Owned by John Cuthbertson, priest,
      and Robert Bonwick. Marked L. 1. 3 Th., L. 7. 2 Th., Auct. 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.

      4. 1), in contemporary binding of stamped leather. Given by
      Albanus Butler to Richard Butler, rector of Aston-le-Walls (co.
      Northants) 23 June 1603. 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 (?). Marked vi^d. 8. 9
      (described in Sinker’s ©Catalogue©, 1876).

  10. John Rylands Library at Manchester. With border. Wanting only a 1
      (blank leaf). Owned by “Henri Joliff.” Marked 16741 or E. 237.

                    8. ¬Anwykyll¬ (1483?, see p. 3).

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. Sign. i probably contained the Tertia pars
      grammaticae. With the Condover Hall (Cholmondeley) bookplate:
      bought by the Bodleian from Quaritch in 1892: in whose Rough List,
      no. 124, May 1892, it is priced £100. Now marked Inc. e. E 2
      1483/1.

  3. Oxford—Bodleian. The Vulgaria only, bound first in a volume
      containing also P. P. Vergerii de ingenuis moribus liber (Louvain,
      Joh. de Westphalia, n. d.), and Adelardi Quaestiones (n. pl. or
      d.). The following interesting inscription is in it:—“1483. Frater
      Johannes grene emit hunc librum Oxoñ de elemosinis amicorum
      suorum.” In plain 15th cent. binding. Owned also by Henry Strathyn
      at Bedford, John Uncle, Robert Hunter (all 16th cent.). Bought by
      the Bodleian at the T. Thomson sale Jan. 1866 (lot 1068) for £36.
      Marked Auct. R. supra 2.

  4. Cambridge—University Library. The Vulgaria only. Bound originally
      in a volume containing Perotti Erudimenta Grammatices (Par. 1488):

      Epistolandi Jac. P(ublicii) (n. pl. or d.); the Vulgaria; Matheoli
      Perusini tractatus de memoria (n. pl. or d.). Marked AB. 5. 16. 4.

  5. John Rylands Library, Manchester. The Vulgaria only.

  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 work by Richard Rolle of Hampole (_d._ 1349) was also printed at
Paris in 1510 and at Cologne in 1536. Noticed in J. Ph. Berjeau’s

☞ ¬The following book was discovered since sheet B was printed off.¬


                        12. ¬Augustine¬ (1483?).

¬Augustine¬, St. [Sign. a 2^r:—] Excitatio fidelis anime ad ele⸗|mosinam
faciendam A b¿ea¿to Au⸗|gustino conscripta.

  [Oxford, about 1483]: (eight) sm. 4^o: pp. [16], sign. a^8: sign. a
      3^r beg. _Non enim_. Contents:—sign. a 2-a 8^r, the sermon.

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.

                   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. See plate V.

      offered by A. 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.

                              APPENDIX B.
                   The Early Sixteenth Century Press.

            (Supplementary to, and corrective of, pp. 5–7.)


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).

                      6. ¬Laet¬ (1518?: see p. 6).

The title is now known to be “Prenostica” simply. The parts known are
(1) from the Cambridge copy, from the top a head line and 34 lines, from
the bottom 33 lines of small type and 5 of larger type: (2) from the
Oxford copy, 22 lines from the top, and 22–24 from the bottom. 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).

Beneath the title is a woodcut, 5¾ × 4⅜ in., representing a master at
his desk, with a birch in his left hand and a book in his right: above
him and on each side are other volumes, and before him five students on
a bench with their books. 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._

                              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.

      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

  1393. In Florence MS. Laurentian, bibl. S. Crucis, plut. xvii Sin.,
      cod. x. “Explicit compilatio quaedam ... scripta per me F[ratrem]
      I[acobum] Fey de Florentia Ordinis Fratrum Minorum in Conventu
      Oxoniae anno Domini MCCCXCiii, die ... [xi Martii]” (Bandini’s

      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.

      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

      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

      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. Sebastian Actors, bookseller of St. Mary the Virgin’s parish.
      Record of a grant of administration after his decease, 23 April
      1501 (Oxf. Univ. Archives—Wills).

  1501. Christopher Coke, stationer. A similar record with inventory, 13
      Dec. 1501 (_ibid._).

  1502/3. William Lesquier, bookseller. A similar record, 1 Feb. 1502/3
      (_ibid._).

  1506. Georgius Castellanus, bookseller (?): see p. 11.

  1514. 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. (Clark, _ibid._).

  —— Aug. 12. James à Wood, adm. parchment-seller (Clark, i. 322).

  1567, Apr. 3. Gilbert Burnet, alias Cornyshe, adm. parchment-seller
      (Clark, i. 326).

  1570, June 28. Nicholas Clyfton, adm. bookseller (Clark, i. 321).

  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.

      Administration was granted after his death on 13 Feb. 1587/8 (Oxf.
      Univ. Archives).

  1577. Rowland Jenckes or Jenkes, a bookbinder, was condemned at the
      Assizes at Oxford for sedition (Wood’s ©History and Antiquities of
      the University of Oxford©, ed. Gutch, ii. (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

  1588. In about this year occurs an Inventory of the goods of John
      Pigot, scrivener, implying his previous death (Oxf. Univ.
      Archives—Wills).

      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. (_ibid._): still bookseller in 1616/7

      assigns to print Tacitus’s ©History© in English, for life. (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).

  1609/10, Mar. 13. A tenement in St. Mary’s parish was leased to John
      Adams, stationer (Oxf. Univ. Archives, box A, no. 23): he was a
      bookbinder from 1610 to 1620 (Magd. college deeds, cf. Clark, i.
      343). In 1637, July 20, a house just North of the Schools
      Quadrangle was “lately” in the tenure of John Adams, bookbinder
      (Agreement between Magdalen and the University in Reg. R. 24, fol.
      149^r). For his printing, see pp. 308, 312.

  1610, Dec. Henry Blewet or Bluett occurs as a bookseller in St Mary’s

      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).

      1627 (of St. Mary’s parish) and 1634 (_ibid._ and 344).

  1625/6. William Webbe occurs as stationer (Clark, i. 343). See p. 312.

      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

      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. Tit. xviii, sect. 5 of the Statutes of the University is framed
      “De Typographis Universitatis”: printed in App. D. V., p. 287. The
      Architypographus is here first mentioned.

  1636. John Haviland of London is stated to have a press at London,
      Oxford and Cambridge (Arber’s ©Transcript©, iii. 704).

      ©Annals©, 2nd ed., p. 77).

  —— — Bott, do. (_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.

[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.

[Sidenote: A.D. 1373.

           There are a great many

           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

                     DE TYPOGRAPHIS UNIVERSITATIS.

  Cum Sereniss. REX CAROLUS eius nominis Primus, pro eo affectu quo
  Literas ac Literatos fovet, Privilegia Universitatis, quoad rem
  Typographicam nimis antehac arctata, mirum in modum amplificaverit; ne
  Clementiss. Regis indulgentia sordidi ac illiberales Artifices ad
  privatum suum quaestum abutantur: Statutum est, quod nullus
  Typographus in posterum his Privilegiis aut titulo Typographi
  Universitatis nostrae gaudebit, nisi qui in Admissione sua singulis
  Statutis et Ordinationibus circa regimen Typographorum, per Domum
  Convocationis factis, vel in posterum edendis, se submiserit.

  Quoniam vero in re Typographica usu compertum est, Mechanicos hosce
  Artifices (lucri sui compendium cum dispendio operis plerumque
  sectantes) Calligraphiae seu Operis decori et elegantiae minime
  studere, sed opera quaeque rudia ac inemendata in publicam lucem
  extrudere; Idcirco praesenti Statuto cautum esto, quod publicae
  Universitatis Typographiae, instruendae in Domo aliqua huic usui
  specialiter deputata, praeficiatur Architypographus unus, Vir Graecis
  Latinisque literis probe instructus, et in studiis Philologicis
  versatissimus: Cuius munus erit, Operis Typographicis ibidem praeesse;
  materiam sive supellectilem typographicam (Chartam scilicet, Praela,
  Typos, et alia huius Opificii instrumenta) ut sint in suo quaeque
  genere lectissima providere. In Operibus e publica Universitatis
  Typographia prodeuntibus, Typorum modulum, Chartae qualitatem,
  Marginum mensuram praescribere; Correctorum errata emendare; et alia
  quaecunque, ad Operis ornatum et perfectionem spectantia, sedulo
  curare. Cui muneri quo alacrius et liberius vacet, (praeter certam
  portionem lucri e libris impressis provenientis, ipsi posthaec, pro
  ratione symbolae quam ad publicae Typographiae peculium seu sortem
  communem contulerit, assignandam ab iis qui a Domo Convocationis ad
  ordinanda Statuta Typographica delegandi erunt,) Officium superioris
  Bedelli in Iure Civili, (utpote reliquis minus negotiosum,)
  quandocunque primum quoquo modo vacaverit, perpetuo in posterum
  annectendum fore praesenti Statuto cautum esto.




                              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

                            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.)

The ordinary size (_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

   Long Primer                                                    90
   Pica                                                           72

   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.
