First edition. This first and very rare edition is described by Dibdin as the third book from the press of these printers, upon what ground he asserts this does not appear. Panzer, besides the Cicero and Lactantius, describes the Donatus, the S. Augustinus, the Epistolæ Ciceronis and the second Lactantius as being all prior to Rodericus. - Incipit compendiosa historia hispanica. In qua agitur de ejus situ et descriptione; salubritate ac ubertate; gentisque humanitate et ad religionis cultum pietate: cæterisque ejusdem regionis laudibus. Demum de Gothorum, Vandalorum, et cæterorum ad Hispanias accedentium origine et in Hispania regnantium antiquitate. Necnon de regnorum erectione, regumque successione ac claris illorum successibus. Tandem pro ampliore historiæ ornatu inter ipsa hispanica gesta inseruntur brevi Priscorum Romanorum, Græcorum et aliorum exterorum antiquorum clarissima gesta, dicta, et insignia documenta ad cujusvis principantis potentis seu nobilis ac privati hominis instructionem edita a Roderico Santii Episcopo Palentino. De mandato R. P. D. Roderici Episcopi Palentini auctoris hujus libri. Ego Udalricus Gallus, sine calamo aut pennis eundem librum impressi. S. 1. et a. Fol. R. M. FIRST EDITION. The best account of this very rare book will be found in Audiffredi, Rom. Edit. p. 44, where he corrects the mistakes of N. Antonio and Fabricius, who were both misled by the colophon of this edition to imagine there had been an edition of this book printed at Palentiæ, 1470. Panzer, II. 416, IV. 391, agrees with Audiffredi, who never saw but one copy of this edition. It was probably printed about 1470. Meuselius, VI. i. 115, adopts Antonio's mistake, but XI. i. 91, he corrects it. The book should contain in the whole one hundred and eighty-four leaves, including the thirteen leaves of Table. The Index in the present copy is at the end, in Audiffredi's description it is at the beginning. Incipit Epistola lugubris et mesta simul et consolatoria de infe ROE, SIR THOMAS.
