This extremely rare edition is very accurately described by Seemiller, I. p. 167, who supposes it to be printed ante annum 1476. Panzer, I. p. 85, gives exactly the same description and attributes it to the Strasbourg press, and observes that the type resembles that of Eggesteyn, but does not appear to be his.

This collection of original papers is valuable; so much so that Godefroy availed himself of them in his edition of the Memoires de Commines.

Mendez Typ. Esp. p. 266. dwells upon the very great rarity of this book, which

was unknown to N. Antonio, Sarmiento and Beyer, "esta edicion es tan rara y desconochida como los Trabajos de Hercules."

It appears to have been bound up with this latter book though the Trabajos were by a different author, Enrique de Villena. See Brunet, N. R. vol. II. p. 328. where the following account is given of this work.

"Cet opuscule renferme des dialogues entre Alphonse de Carthage, eveque de Burgos, Lopez de Mendoza, marquis de Santillane et Jean de Mena, trois personnages qui etoient deja morts a cette epoque."

FIRST EDITION. In the controversy respecting the unknown printer of this edition it is ascribed to the Juntas by Maittaire I. p. 65. Crevenna Cat. IV. 227. Laire II. 215. Bandini puts it among the Juntinas dubias p. 257. Audiffredi Ed. It. p. 351. with Amoretti contends against ascribing it to Junta.

In a single sheet Specimen of an account of early Classics in the Bodleian Library of which sheet only twelve copies were printed in 1816 or thereabouts, it is suggested with great appearance of probability that is was printed by Alopa; the characters exactly resembling those of the

Most probably some copies were purchased by the Junta and a Title Page, and Philostratus and some other Opuscula were added by the Junta to these remaining copies.

The former owner of this very rare book in his MS. note calls it "the first book printed at Cambridge." It would be more correct to call it one of the first. Herbert quotes seven books printed by Siberch in 1521, without the addition of any month named, so that it seems difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain which of them is entitled to priority; but to make this list of seven Herbert disjoins the two works, which in this copy are evidently printed

together. The Title Page announcing both, and the signatures being continued through both. L. G. de Saona, Cantab. 1478, Fol.
