" Of this valuable Edition, bought at the Pinelli Sale and for a long time considered as unique, nothing was to be known as it unfortunately wanted the Colophon; but in 1830 Mr. Payne obtained an imperfect copy of the same book from S. Audin of Florence, which I purchased and supplied from it the Colophon and two leaves, by which my Pinelli copy became perfect. The Colophon shews that this is the first edition of the twenty-eight cantos under the correction of the author, the first twentyfive cantos having been surreptitiously printed by Luca Veneziano in 1481. My duplicate copy was purchased by Lord Spencer and the deficient leaves were coNo other copy of pied into it from mine. this original Edition of the Morgante is known. "Count Melzi in his last Edition of the Bibliographia dei Romanzi, page 202, is decidedly of opinion that the present copy is quite complete, though Signature a contains only seven leaves.

This edition is described in Melzi, Bibl. p. 207. He conjectures it to be only a reprint of Massetti's edition by Sessa, 1502, of whose corrections he speaks as being rather corruptions. -Morgante Magiore quale tratta della morte de Orlando con tutti li paladini; tradito da Gano e d'amore cose bellissime et de molte infinite battaglie crudelissime.
