rto, 1510. On VELLUM 11 0 0 666. Aesopi Fabulae. _Edit. Princeps circ._ 1483 6 6 0 684. Boccacio, il Teseide, _Ferar._, 1475. _Prima Edizione_ 85 0 0 [This copy, which is called, "_probably unique_," was once, I suspect, in Consul Smith's library. See _Bibl. Smith_, p. lxiii. The reader will find some account of it in Warton's History of Engl. Poetry, vol. i., 347. It was printed, as well as the subsequent editions of 1488, and 1528, "with some deviations from the original, and even misrepresentations of the story." His majesty was the purchaser of this precious and uncommon book.] 708. Cornelius Nepos, 1471. _Edit. Prin._ 11 11 0 713. Alexander de Ales, super tertium Sententiar. 1474, ON VELLUM 15 15 0 817. Anthologia Graeca. _Edit. Prin._ 1494, ON VELLUM 28 7 0 In Dr. Hunter's Museum. 856. Ammianus Marcellinus, 1474. _Edit. Prin._ 23 0 0 1332. Ciceronis Opera omnia, Oliveti, 9 vols. quarto, 1740, _Charta Maxima_ 36 15 0 1389. Ejusdem Officia, 1465. _Edit. Prin._ 30 0 0 1433. Catullus, Tibullus, et Propertius; Aldi, 8vo., 1502. IN MEMBRANIS 17 10 0 This copy was purchased by the late Mr. M.C. Cracherode, and is now, with his library, in the British Museum. It is a beautiful book; but cannot be compared with Lord Spencer's Aldine VELLUM Virgil, of the same size. 1576. Durandi Rationale, &c., 1459. IN MEMBRANIS 61 0 0 The beginning of the 1st chapter was wanting. Lord Spencer has a perfect copy of this rare book, printed upon spotless VELLUM. 2656. Platonis Opera, apud Aldum; 2 vols., fol., 1513. _Edit. Prin._ ON VELLUM. 55 13 0 Purchased by the late Dr. William Hunter; and is, at this moment, with the Doctor's books and curiosities, at _Glasgow_. The reader can have no idea of the beauty of these vellum leaves. The ink is of the finest lustre, and the whole typographical arrangement may be considered a masterpiece of printing. If I could forget the magnificent copy which I have seen (but not upon vellum) of the "Etymologicum magnum," in the Luton Library, I should call _this_ the chef-d'oeuvre of the ALDINE PRESS. 2812. Plinii Hist. Natural; apud Spiram, fol., 1469. _Edit. Princeps._ 43 0 0 This copy has been recently sold for a sum considerably less
