[185] There are two MSS. of the Philobiblon in the British Museum,
which I quote in giving my Latin Extracts. The first is in the
Cotton collection, marked Appendix iv. fol. 103. At the end are
these lines, _Ric. de Aungervile cognominato de Bury, Dunelm. Episc.
Philobiblon completum in Manerio de Auckland, d. 24 Jan. 1344_, fol.
119, b. The other is in the Harleian Collection, No. 3224, both are
in fine preservation. The first printed edition appeared at Cologne,
1473, in 4to., without pagination, signatures, or catchwords, with
48 leaves, 26 lines on a full page; for some time, on account of its
excessive rarity, which kept it from the eyes of book-lovers,
bibliographers confused it with the second edition printed by John
and Conrad Huest, at Spires, in 1483, 4to. which, like the first, is
without pagination, signatures, or catchwords, but it has only 39
pages, with 31 lines on a full page. Two editions were printed in
1500, 4to. at Paris, but I have only seen one of them. A fifth
edition was printed at Oxford by T. J(ames), 4to. 1599. In 1614 it
was published by Goldastus in 8vo. at Frankfort, with a
_Philologicarium Epistolarum Centuria una_. Another edition of this
same book was printed in 1674, 8vo. at Leipsic, and a still better
edition appeared in 1703 by Schmidt, in 4to. The Philobiblon has
recently been translated by Inglis, 8vo. _Lond._ 1834, with much
accuracy and spirit, and I have in many cases availed myself of this
edition, though I do not always exactly follow it.
