Like most of the early editions of the separate and entire works of Ovid, which use and time have almost destroyed, this has become extremely rare. See Denis, Supp. I. p. 52. Pinelli, II. No. 4805. Panzer refers also to Saxius, I. p. 562, where this edition does not appear.

This is an edition of great rarity. It has often been considered as the first edition, because it was printed in Feb. 1471, but as the year then began in March, the Bologna edition is prior to it. It is extremely difficult to find a copy of this edition.

De Remedio Amoris Libri cum Commento. Publii Ovidii nasonis divini poete de remedio amoris libri cum commento familiarissimo parisius exarati per Felicem Balligault, in domo collegio belvacensi contigua commorantem feliciter expliciunt ex die xxiiii novembris, мccccxcii. 4to.

Panzer, II. p. 309, quotes the Paris edition of 1495, and Maittaire p. 591, and p. 605, is referred to by him, but neither Panzer, nor Maittaire, nor any other bibliographer appears to have known this edition of 1493, with the Commentary of Ægidius Delphus.

There appears to be some confusion in the bibliographical books as to the editions of Ovid by Zarotus, from their not having sufficiently distinguished those of his editions with a date from those without a date. The Opera Omnia were printed in folio, with the name of Zarotus, sine loco et anno. Panzer, II. 94. Maittaire, p. 770. But this edition of the Fasti April, 1477, and an edition of the Metamorphoses, Sept. 1477, are different and separate editions. See Panzer, II. 29, 94. The editions of Zarotus either with or without date, are of rare occurrence.

FIRST EDITION. This first edition of a very interesting work is of great rarity. It appears not to have been known to N. Antonio, who quotes only the edition of 1535, I. p. 554. Meuselius, III. i. 226X. ii. 326.

"The editor has given to this book a Title Page of 'Ovidii Nasonis,' though in his Epistola Dedicatoria he very properly contends that nothing in the book is written by Ovid. The chief things in it areMaximiliani Amores, Pamphili Mauriliani (not Saxi, as quoted by Panzer) Ars Amandi, Pseudo-Ovidii Vetula. There are four early editions of Pamphilus, s. 1. et a., the first probably by Jenson." MS. note.

The author, Wood says, was one of the lights of learning in his time, commended by Erasmus, Tonstal, Latymer, Colet, and many other eminent scholars of his day. He was employed by Henry VIII. in several embassies, which he performed with very great honour to himself and the English nation. After which he settled at Oxford and became Dean of St. Paul's. Stowe, in his annals, also speaks very highly of him, and states that he was sent to Rome

to make friends in behalf of Cardinal Wolsey's being made Pope. The above tract appears to be in the British Museum and in the Bodleian Library.

This is a book of great rarity and is quoted from Maittaire by Panzer who had not seen any copy, and no other appears to have occurred but Mr. Heber's.

The author, a Dominican, from his reputation as an Oriental Scholar, was appointed by Leo X. Hebrew Professor, and he printed a Hebrew Dictionary and published a Latin Bible in 1528; he died at Lyons in 1541. The printer of the Isagogæ uses the Aldine Dolphin.
