Chapter XIV: Part 14

Text size

Impr. 182: 1639: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 62: p. 11 beg. _answer, that he_:
English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within a border of woodcuts:
1–38, the Advice: 39–40, a preface to the following piece, dated “From
my house at Blackbourton this 7th of Aprill 1627”: 41–62, the
Memorial.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 411, where Wood says that the
first part was written in about 1607, and that the writer died in June
1627: that Laud refused to license it for printing in 1635, because it
was so strongly worded against Roman Catholicism, and that after this
failure the son, sir Edward Hungerford, “got it to be printed at
Oxon”, with the Memorial.

Impr. 153: 1639: (eights) 16^o: pp. [12] + 331 + [1]: p. 11 beg. τῳ
ἐξαιτεῖσθαι, 301 Θεῖος λόγος: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title:
(3–4) Epistola P. Martyris, to Jewel: (5–11) the translator’s
dedication to dr. William Langton, president of Magdalen, signed “Joh.
Smith”: (1) a poor Greek epigram on this edition, signed “H. H.”:
2–331, the work, Latin on the verso of each leaf, Greek on the recto.

See 1614 J: the first English and Latin editions were in 1562. It is
odd that in the ©Catalogus ... librorum Richardi Davis ... pars
tertia© (1688) on p. 13 the date of this book is twice misprinted
1637.

Impr. 156 _b_: 1639: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [60] + 381 + [15]: p. 11 beg
_26. In their life_, 301 _not to be discussed_: Long Primer Roman.
Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines: (3–8) Epistle dedicatory
to Walter Curle, bp. of Winchester, signed “William Page”: (9–60) “To
the Christian reader” signed “W. P.”: 1–381, the Imitation, in 4
books: (2–11) “A Table of the chapters...”.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 655. This is the first Oxford
edition of the ©Imitation© and the only edition of dr. Page’s
revision. The reviser, who was the bp. of Winchester’s chaplain, has
removed such passages as would offend a Protestant. The preface is
largely an exhortation to unity among the churches.

Impr. 180: 1639: (twos) la. 8^o: pp. [6] + 64 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _Scena
II_: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines:
(3) “To the reader”: (4–5) two prologues: (6) “The Persons of the
Play” &c.: 1–64, the play: (1–2) two epilogues.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 972. There are subsequent
editions of the play in 1658 (Oxford) and 1659 (Oxford). The preface
is depreciatory of the work, stating that it was at first written “out
of obedience,” and that it was only published in self-defence to avoid
a threatened unauthorized issue in London.

Impr. 151: 1639: (twelves) 16^o: pp. 295 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _Cesset
quæso_, 201 _Ac tradidit_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—1, title,
within double lines: 3–283, the Psalter: 285–295, special prayers, as
in 1615 P.

See 1615 P. It is noticeable that the University no longer prints the
book of Common Prayer as a whole, but only the Psalter as found in
that book, separately.

Impr. 191: 1639: sm. 4^o: pp. [68], signn. A-F^4, G^2, H-I^4: sign.

Contents:—sign. A1^r, title: A2^r-A2^v, dedication to dr. Tho.
Holland, dated “Exon. Colleg. Ian. 1. 1607”, and signed “Io.
Prideaux”: A3^r-B3^v, preface as in the 1607 edition: B4^r-E1^r, the
work, “Conclusio”, &c., as before: E2^r, a title:—“TYROCINIVM | AD

[_motto_, then _woodcut_]” with impr. 157: E3^r-E4^r, the dedication,
as in the 1629 edition: E4^r, two Latin poems: F1^r-G2^v, the
treatise: H1^r, a title:—“HEPTADES | LOGICAE· | _SIVE_ | MONITA AD
AMPLIORES | Tractatus Introductoria. | [_motto_, then _device_]”, with
impr. 191 _a_: H2^r-I4^v, the treatise.

See 1607 P, 1629 P, and Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 267. The
©Heptades© (seven divisions of Logic) seem to be here printed for the
first time.

Impr. 109 _a_: 1639: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [14] + 204 + [2] + 2 folded
leaves: p. 11 beg. _Proximum est_, 111 _non autem_: Long Primer Roman.
Contents:—p. (5) title: (7–11) “De nupera Londinensi editione ad
Lectorem Προτρεπτικός.”: 1–204, the work in 3 books: (1) “Lectoribus
...”: before pp. 33 and 43 should be folded tables of Substantia and
Qualitas.

See 1617 S. The undated preface complains of a pirated London edition,
which may be that of 1621.

Impr. 152: 1639: (eights) 16^o: pp. [8] + 107 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _The
se-_|_cond Ge_ | : Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title, within
double lines: 3–8, Epistle dedicatory to Robert (Kerr) earl of Ancrum:
1–107, the sermon, on 1 Kings x. 24.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 274.

Impr. 157: 1639: (eights) 16^o: pp. [34] + 85 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _it,
nec alicui_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title, within double
lines: (5–23) dedication to archbp. Laud: (25–33) “Ad candidum
lectorem præfatio”: 1–85, the work, in five parts.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 675: the author, according to
the dedication, was a Franciscan at Toulouse, converted to
Protestantism by Stephanus de Cursol, settled at Exeter and patronized
by bp. Hall. In 1637/8 he became a member of Exeter College, and in
1639 incorporated at Cambridge: after which he is lost sight of,
except that he is said to have been reconverted to Roman Catholicism,
and to have gone abroad. The five “fabulæ” are “De universali
Episcopo,” “de infallibilitate papæ,” “de Purgatorio,” “de
Transubstantiatione eucharistica,” and “de invocatione Sanctorum.”
Wescombe is a Somerset and Devon name.

1640.

Impr. 194: 1640: (fours) la. 8^o: pp. [36] + 60 + [14] + 479 (“477”) +
[21]: pp. 11 beg. _Nature, but_, and _on between_, 401 _hard and
severe_: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) engraved title, see
below: (3–4) dedication to the king and the two universities, in
Latin, by Wats: (5–8) dedication to prince Charles, signed “Gilbert
Wats”: (9–16) preface to the reader, by Wats: (17–22) “Testimonies
consecrate to ... S^r Francis Bacon ...”: (23–24) Latin poem on the
_Instauratio Magna_ by George Herbert: (25–33) “Manes Verulamiani sive
in obitum incomparabilis Francisci de Verulamio, &c. epicedia,” 6
Latin poems, one by Thomas Randolph, &c.: (35–36) address by Bacon to
each university, in parallel columns: 1–39, the author’s preface:
(41–42) “The generall argument of the IX. books”: (43–60) “The
argument of the chapters ...”: (1–11) the general design of the
_Instauratio Magna_: (13) a table of “the Emanation of sciences ...”:
1-“477”, the work in 9 books: (2–5) “A new world of sciences, or the
Deficients”, headings: (6–8) “The Index of Sacred Scriptures ...”:
(10–11) “The index of humane authors”: (12) “Errata”, marginal
corrections only: (13) “Lectori Academico ...”, introducing what
follows: (14–18) “Catalogus historiarum particularum . secundùm
capita”: (19) Typographus Lectori” about what follows: (20) a Latin
letter from the author to Trinity college Cambridge, _beg._ “Res
omnes”: (21) impr. 195, as a colophon.

See 1633 B. This is part 1 of the ©Instauratio Magna©, and is an
expansion of the two books of the ©Advancement of Learning© first
printed in 1605, which were enlarged in Latin to nine books, and
published in 1623 (and 1635) by W. Rawley: here they are translated by
G. Wats. Some copies have 1639 in the colophon. At pp. 266–69 are some
woodcut facsimiles of cipher-alphabets, &c. The engraved titlepage by
W. Marshall (9⅝ × 5¾ in.) bears the title on a sheet suspended between
two obelisks representing Oxford and Cambridge: above it are two
globes and “INSTAVR.MAG.P.I.”: below, a ship in full sail and the
imprint: the whole is fully described in the British Museum ©Catalogue
of Prints and Drawings©, Div. 1, vol. 1 (1870), p. 116 (no. 153).
Three out of the four British Museum copies have a portrait of Bacon,
but the translator’s own copy in the Bodleian has not. The collation,
being elaborate, is here appended:—( )^1, ¶^4, ¶¶^2, ¶¶¶^1, A^2B-C^4:
aa-gg^4 hh^2: †^4, ††^2, †^1: A-Z, Aa-Zz, Aaa-Qqq^4 Rrr^2: pp. 351–2
are repeated in the numeration.

Impr. 200: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [16] + 245 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _De modo
Doctrinæ_, 201 _tasia aliquando_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1)
title within double lines: (3–11) Epistola dedicatoria to James lord
Strange, dated “Oxonii è Musæo meo in Collegio Ænea-nasensi, Nono Cal.
Januarii 1639.”, and signed “Thomas Sixesmith”: (13–16) “Index
tractatuum, capitum, et quæstionum ...”: 1–245, the four treatises, on
the first four books of the Ethics.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 141. The original MS.
(finished 27 Oct. 1586) is now part of MS. (Queen’s coll. Oxford no.
218). The method of this commentary or rather analysis is scholastic
and formal. The editor says that he rescued the original MS. from a
“rurale musæum,” when it was “pulvere situque squalidum, & tantum non
sepultum.” The author died in 1613. It is curious that in Moss’s
©Manual of classical bibliography© (Lond., 1825, vol. i, p. 157) this
book is called “Westerman, Commentaria in Ethica Aristotelis. Oxon.
4to. 1640,” with a reference to Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii.
141. The explanation is that _Westerman_ heads the column in Wood’s
work, because the account of William Westerman follows Brerewood on
that column: but the ascription deceived even so acute a bibliographer
as the late professor Chandler in his List of editions of the
Nicomachean Ethics (Oxf. 1878).

Impr. 69: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 431 + [16]: p. 11 beg. _quia unus
homo_, 401 _crimini vitæ_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title,
within double lines: two epigrams, one by, and one to, Guillermus
Baterel, the original editor: 1–431, the work: (1–15) index.

Baterel’s annotated edition of Buridanus on the Politics was printed
at least twice in the sixteenth century (1506 and 1526).

Impr. 193 _a_: 1640: (twelves) 24^o: pp. [8] + 177 + [3]: p. 11 beg.
_common equity_, 101 _next place_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title,
within a line: (3–8) dedication to archbp. Ussher: 1–60, 61–125,
127–177, the three sermons, on 2 Sam. xvii. 23.

For an account of the earlier editions, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii.
422, and 1628 C. The present edition closely resembles the London ones
of 1633 and 1638. Probably the “N. H.” who edited the next article
below, edited this also, Carpenter having died in 1628. The work is
evidently intended to be read with a view to the political
circumstances of the time, under the disguise of dealing with “a
sacred tragedy” from Old Testament history.

Impr. 193 _b_: 1640: (twelves) 24^o: pp. [8] + 95 + [1]: p. 11 beg.
_were the Secretaries_: Pica Roman. Contents:—(1) title: (3–8) Epistle
dedicatory to dr. Thomas Winniffe, dean of St. Paul’s, by “N.H.” the
editor: 1–95, the sermon.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, ii. 422. This is a reprint of the
Lond. 1633 edition. The preface gives some valuable biographical notes
about Carpenter, who died in 1628, and was the editor’s tutor and
“neere Affine” at Exeter college. It states with reference to the
present book that “had not a kinsman’s (Io. Ca.) friendly hand given
it safe conduct over the Surges of the Ocean, in all likelyhood it had
perished on the Netherland shores.”

Impr. 189: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [64], signn. A-H^4: sign. C1^r beg.
_Atos. I hope_: Pica Roman. Contents:—exactly as in 1639 C, except
that the play only extends to H3^r, the three epilogues occupying
H3^v-H4^r.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 69, and 1639 C, of which this
is a reprint.

Impr. 197: 1640: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [12] + 220 + [44]: p. 11 beg.
_fuisset. Brutus_, 201 _quam cogitatione_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p.
(1) “A” between woodcuts: (5) title, within a line: (7–12) “Lectori
...”, signed “M.H.”: 1–7 “Angliæ descriptio generalis, ex Geographico
Opusculo Johan. Büssenmecheri”: 9–61, 62–81, 82–220, the
commentarioli: (1–44) “Index rerum et nominum memorabilium.”

This is an anonymous history of Britain from the earliest times. The
editor, M(atthew) H(unt), does not mention the fact, that an undated
edition was printed at London by Henry Bynneman (who published from
1566 to 1587), with the title “De rebus gestis Britanniæ commentarioli
tres. Ad Ornatissimum Virum M. Henricum Broncarem Armigerum E.S.”,
from which it has been conjectured that the author’s initials were
“E.S.” The first words of the text are “Britannia est Insula natura
triquetra.” The name of Clain is given in the British Museum catalogue
as the author of an Amberg edition of 1603, and in Thomas Thorpe’s
Catalogue of books (1851) p. 51 an edition printed at Hamburg in 1598
is mentioned under the same name, but I can find no account of the
author, who probably lived at Amberg. Some have ascribed the book to
John Clapham, who published an English ©History of England© till the
coming of the Saxons, in 1602 and 1606.

Impr. 160 _b_: 1640: (eights) 16^o: pp. [40] + 363 + [5]: p. 11 beg.
_Poetesse was_, 301 _purpose, and_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1)
title, within a border between lines: (3–7) “The Author to the
Reader”: (9–34) 8 English poems to the author and book by Oxford men,
one by Martin Llewellin: (35–39) “A table of the chapters”: (39)
“Errata”: 1–363, the work, in 39 chapters.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 350, where the translator
from the French into English is stated to be Edmund Chilmead. The
original French edition was published at Toulouse in 1612, under the
title _Traité de l’essence et guérison de l’amour_, and at Paris in
1623 as _De la maladie d’amour, ou melancholie erotique_. If Robert
Burton was acquainted with the first edition of this book, as he well
may have been, there can be little doubt that he has taken or imitated
the general method and treatment of the subject, in his _Anatomy of
Melancholy_: but the French author is surpassed on his own ground. The
research is greater and the felicities of language more numerous and
striking in Burton, while the plan is also further and distinctively
elaborated. There is no mention of Burton’s book in the poems prefixed
to this translation. The words underlined in the above title are
printed in red, as well as “Oxford,” and “sold by Edward Forrest .
1640.” in the imprint.

Impr. 180: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 67 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _Only for
present use_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3) “Prologue”:
1–67, the play; (1) “Epilogue.”

This was Fletcher’s unaided composition, before the close of 1624,
when it was twice performed at court. The underplot is said to be
based on one of Cervantes’ “Novelas Exemplares.” See the ©Dict. of
Nat. Biogr.© under Fletcher, p. 307, col. 1. The present is the first
edition, and the only quarto one.

Impr. 180: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 73 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _But for
you_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) “The Names of the
Actors”: 1–73, the play.

The authorship of this play is doubtful. The first edition (Lond.
1639) was entitled “The Bloody Brother. A Tragedy. By _B. J. F._” i.
e. Ben Johnson and Fletcher?, and it was entered in the Stationers’
Register on 4 Oct. 1639 as by “J. B.” Massinger is also supposed to
have had some share in it. See the ©Dict. of Nat. Biogr.© under
Fletcher, p. 308, col. 2.

Impr. 119: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [12] + 96: p. 11 beg. _Cass. If the
varlets_: Pica Roman. Contents—p. (1) title: (2) “Dramatis Personæ”:
(3) “To the Reader”, signed “P.P.”, the editor: (4–11) seven
complimentary poems to the author, alluding to Shakespeare’s, Ben
Johnson’s and Randolph’s deaths: (12) Errata: 1–96, the play, with
epilogue.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 31. The author died before
1650, not, as Foster’s ©Alumni Oxonienses© asserts, as late as 1699.
The editor, who is known to be Philip Papillon of Exeter college,
declares that the play is here printed without the author’s knowledge
and against his modesty. The lines relating to Shakespeare, which have
perhaps only been reprinted in Pickering and Chatto’s Catalogue of
books, nos. 70–72 (June 1893), p. 15, are:—

“But sad Melpomene ...
Hyes to pale Shakespeares urne, and from his tombe
Takes up the bayes, and hither she is come.”

Impr. 94_a_: 1640: 12^o: pp. [4] + 151 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _onely from_:
Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines: (3–4)
dedication to Philip earl of Pembroke: 1–145, the discourse on “1
Thess. [v] 22”: 147–151, “The Postscript to the Reader”: (1) “Errata”.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 591. This book appears to be rare, and
was reprinted at Oxford in 1660.

13. ¬Oxford¬, University. HORTI | CAROLINI | _ROSA ALTERA_. | [_device._]

Impr. 151: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [108], signn. ( )^2, *, **, A-E^4 F^2,
_a_-_c_^4, _cc_^2, _d_-_e_^4: sign. B1^r beg. _Iam meritò_, b1^r
_Prethee forbeare_: English Roman & Italic. Contents:—( )1^r, title,
within double lines: ( )2^r, poem dedicatory to the king, signed
“Acad. Oxon.”, in Latin: *1^r-F2^v, Latin poems: _a_1^r-_e_4^r,
English poems: _e_4^v “The Printer to their Maiesties”, an English
poem, signed “Leonard Lichfield.”

These are verses to celebrate the birth of prince Henry, 8 July 1640
(_d._ 1660). Most are in Latin and English, but three in Greek, two in
French, one in Hebrew. The signatures as usual show the difficulty of
getting the poems sent in in time and arranged in proper order.

Impr. 198: 1640: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [8] + 200 + [8]: p. 11 beg.
_factus ita_, 101 _Laconismum_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title,
within a line: (3–7) “Lectori benevolo ...”, signed “J. W” (estall):
1–116, 117 (misprinted 711)-195, the two diatribae: 196–200 “Sententiæ
aliquot aculeatæ, è Seneca”.

These are reprints of Diatribae 7 and 8 out of the entire set of
twelve which form the ©Amœnitates©. The Thyrsi are short essays on
_aculei_, which are pointed sentences on friendship and love. The
editor (and printer) mentions the ©Suada Attica© as “nuper excusa”:
see below.

Impr. 205: 1640: (eights) 16^o: pp. [16] + 534 + [2 + ?]: p. 11 beg.
_ego didicerim_, 501 _munerúmque_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title:
3–10, dedication “Tribus ordinibus Brabantiæ”, dated “Lovanii, in
Arce, Kalendis Martiis M.DC.XV”: 11–12, two quotations: 13 “Syllabus
Orationum”: (14) “Character harum orationum”: (15) a quotation: 1–419,
the 22 orations: 419–421, two passages from Aulus Gellius: 421
“Typographo lectori”: 422–424, “ErycI Puteani paucula de morte”: 425,
a bastard title to the Palæstra: 427–429, “Ad lectorem”, dated
“Lovanii”, XI. Kalend. Octobr. M.DC.XI.”: 430–512, the Palæstra, 20
exercitationes &c.: 513–534, “Syllabus exercitationum” and short
pieces, ending with “... Puteanus Lectori ...”: (1–2) blank, the rest
(if any) not seen.

There is no bibliography of the numerous works of Erycius Puteanus,
but the ©Suada Attica© was first published at Louvain in 1615, and the
©Palæstra© in 1611. They contain orations and exercises delivered at
Milan and Louvain. The _Palæstra Bonæ Mentis_ is properly a hall at
Louvain, where some of these were delivered, and in another sense a
literary club which met there for debate, recitations and the like.
See preceding article.

Impr. 174: 1640: (eights) 16^o: pp. [28] + 134 + [2] + 87 + [7] + 101
+ [1]: pp. 11 beg. _Africk he loaths, High as the men_, and _For
Mopsus_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) an engraved title, see
below: (3) title, as above, within double lines: (5–26) twelve poems
on the author and book: 1–134, the poems: (1) title of the Muses
Looking-glass, almost as in 1638 R, with impr. 174: 1–87, (1), the
play: (2) title of Amyntas, nearly as in 1638 R, but “By T.R.”, with
impr. 174: (4) “Dramatis Personæ”: (6–7), 1–101, the play.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 565, and 1638 R. The
“enlargement” in this edition is not evident. The engraved title bears
a bust of Randolph on a pedestal, with Philosophia and Poesis doing
him honour, and a celestial sphere and Pegasus above. On the pedestal
are the words “Poems by Tho : Randolph. The 2^d Edition much
Enlarged.”, and below is impr. 196. Each of the three parts is
separately paged, but the two plays are linked by the signatures,
while the title alone connects the plays with the poems. The Cambridge
1640 edition of “The Jealous Lovers”, a comedy by Randolph, is not
infrequently found bound with this volume, but has no necessary
connexion with it.

Impr. 202: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 43 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _What beauty
on_: Great Primer Italic and Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within
double bounding lines except at foot (single line): 1–43, 19 poems, of
which four are in Latin.

Very rare. The only copy I have seen of this privately printed book is
in the British Museum. The marriage (in 1640) was between Anne
daughter of sir Edward Baynton, of Bromham (_d._ 1657), and Hugh
Rogers esq. of Cannington. The poems are clearly by friends and
relations of both parties, but are signed only with initials. A copy
of the book was in the Heber sale (pt. viii, p. 49).

Impr. 203: 1640: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [36] + 157 + [5] + 31 + [23]: pp.
11 begg. _Though your_, and _soule, that_: English Roman.
Contents:—pp. (1–4) not seen: (5) title, with border within lines:
(7–24) dedication to all true Believers, by the editor: (25–32) “To
the Reader”: (33–35) “Rules to be observed in reading of promises”:
1–157, the 105 legacies: (1–2) “A postscript sent from the Authour”:
(4) a title within a line:—“AN | EPITOME OF | PROMISES | FOR THE |
_SAINTS SUPPORT_ | IN TIME OF | TROVBLE. | [_line_] | _The sixth
Edition._ | [_line, motto, line_]”. with impr. 204: 1–31, 31 promises:
(1–4) texts: (6–9) “A Postscript, to all true Beleevers”: (10–18,
20–22) “Five Tables ...” or indexes.

This is a rare and curious book: rare, inasmuch as no ordinary library
catalogue or bibliography contains any mention of any edition or copy
of it; and curious, as having its two parts—which are indissolubly
joined by the signatures and sections—printed by the same printer for
two different London publishers, R. Royston and S. Enderby. We must
suppose these two to have ventured proportionate parts in the book.

Impr. 201: 1640: (eights) 16^o: pp. [8] + 239 + [1] + ...: p. 11 beg.
_possint esse_, 201 _Cap. 21._: Pica Roman. Contents:—pp. (1–2) not
seen: (3) title, within a line: (5–8) “Elenchus capitum”: 1–239 the
work, in three books: (the two Appendixes contain over 120 pages.)

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 626, and 1615 S. The
only copy I have seen, in Queen’s College (Oxford) Library, is
interleaved, and wants the two appendixes, which probably occupied the
same number of pages as in the 1631 edition.

Impr. 157: 1640: (eights) 16^o: pp. [24] + 80: p. 11 beg. _Pro morte_:
Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, with border between lines: (3–4)
“Lectori”: (5–16) six complimentary Latin poems by St. John’s College
men: (17) “Dramatis Personæ”: (119–21) “Argumentum”: (23) “Errata
...”: 1–80, the play.

For the author, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 275. The
sheets of this work were reissued in 1650 at London, with a new title
©Pharamus, sive Libido vindex, Hispanica tragædia©, but neither Wood
nor his editors have been aware of this earlier edition. Both were
anonymous, and the direct evidence for the authorship (which need not
be doubted) is difficult to find. Bp. Barlow wrote the author’s name
on the title of his copy of ©Pharamus©. The poems imply that the play
had been written some years before 1640: the author matriculated at St
John’s College, Oxford, in June 1634.

21. ¬Tipping¬, William. “©A Return of Thankfulness for the unexpected Recovery out of a dangerous Sickness.© Oxon. 1640. Oct.”

the directions: (2–4) “The contents of each Chapter”.

For the author and book, but not this edition, see Wood’s ©Ath.

doubled at upper and outer margins.

Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within double lines: (3)
dedication to dr. John Tolson provost of Oriel: 1–24, the sermon, on 1
Pet. iii. 8.

See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, i. 469. The dedication is of the
modern kind, not an epistle dedicatory, and the printing is unusual,
the first words of a paragraph being generally projections to the
left, instead of indented.

Impr. 157: 1640: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 36 + [4] + 40 + [4]: pp. 11 beg.
_meris sunt_, and _quæsitum est_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title,
within double lines: (5–6) “Ad Lectorem”, unsigned, but “Datum ex Aula
Alb. Prid. Calend. April. 1640”: (7–8) heads of chapters in division
1: 1–36, the military division, in two parts: (1) a title, within
double lines: “DESCRIPTIO | JuRIS & JuDICII | MARITIMI | [&c., exactly
as the main title, to its end, with woodcut and impr. 157: (3–4) heads
of chapters in division 2: 1–40, “De jure maritimo & de jure nautico”
in two parts: (1) “Errata”.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 511. The signatures establish
a connexion between the two divisions.

26. ——. “_Descr. Juris & Judicii sacri; ad quam Leges, quæ ad Religionem & piam Causam respiciunt, referuntur._ Oxon. 1640. qu.”

So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ed. Bliss, iii. 511, where it is stated
that the De Jure Sacro, Militari and Maritimo, were issued together.
In the Leyden reprint of 1652 the De jure sacro is rather shorter than
the other two. It does not seem to have found its way into the Oxford
or London libraries which have published their catalogues.

Periodical.

The ©Quaestiones in Vesperiis© and ©Quaestiones in Comitiis© (see Andrew Clark’s ©Register of the University of Oxford©, vol. ii. pt. i. [1887], p. 169) were often printed.

1602. The earliest I have seen are the theological “Quæstiones
(Christo propitio) in Vesperijs discutiendæ, _Iul._ 10. 1602,”
followed by some belonging to the Comitia, and some Law _quaestiones_
belonging to both, and by a specimen of dr. John King’s treatment of
his three _quaestiones_, in Latin verse: the whole forming a small
sheet of 16 pages, with the last five blank.

1605. The ©Quaestiones ... in Comitiis ... coram ... Rege ... Aug....
1605© were printed in folio sheet form, as was invariably the case in
later years, occupying in this year four pages. Whether this issue was
exceptional or not, is not clear.

1608. In this year at latest begins the series of ordinary folio
sheets of _quaestiones_: of which examples have been seen for the
years 1608, 1614, 1618, 1619, 1622, 1627, 1628, 1629, 1632, 1634,
1635, 1639, 1640, and intermittently until at least 1693.

Something can be added to the account. The two original books in
dispute are in the John Rylands (Spencer) Library at Manchester, and
the _locus classicus_ for their history is naturally in Dibdin’s
©Bibliotheca Spenceriana© (1814), ii. 271, iii. 411: where will be
found a reproduction (in type) of the two titles and colophons. Of the
Pliny Dibdin states that one George Smith passed it on to Van Damme,
from whom Askew bought it for fifteen guineas. With respect to the
Lystrius, it appears that the “Mr. Dent” who purchased it at the Askew
sale was an agent or pseudonym of Mr. Alchorne. The volume bears a
manuscript note pretending to be from “i. Korsellis” at Haarlem in
1471, stating that the book came to him from his brother Frederick.

About 1513.

P. 11. _Add_:—

¬Syrretus¬, Antonius. [Antonii Syrreti Formalitates de mente magistri Johannis Duns?] | Scoti ordinis fratrum minor¿um¿ doctoris sub⸗|tilissimi cum nouis additionibus et con⸗|cordantijs magistri Mauritij de por⸗|tu hybernie in margine decora⸗|te et nouiter impresse: | [two Latin verses, then a woodcut of the Trinity with “Henricus Iacobi” and printer’s mark at foot, then two more Latin verses] | ¶Uenu¿m¿dantur in vniuersitate Oxonien¿si¿. Sub | intersignio sanctissime Trinitatis ab Hen⸗|rico Jacobi bibliopole Londonien¿sis¿. |

This interesting title is found on a fragment of two leaves discovered
by Mr. R. G. C. Procter in New College Library at Oxford, in Aug.
1891, and now marked “Auct. V. 16,” fol. 3. The verso of the title is
occupied with a woodcut of the arms of Henry VIII, with supporters,
two angels with scroll, &c. The second leaf is marked A 2, and
contains a dedication and certain definitions, all part of the
Additiones Mauritii. The book was no doubt printed in London, but sold
in Oxford by Henricus Jacobi, who died in the latter city towards the
end of 1514, intestate, see p. 273. From an interesting account of
Jacobi in ©Bibliographica©, pt. I (1894), by Mr. E. G. Duff, it
appears that Jacobi, after publishing in London from 1505 to 1512,
came to Oxford in 1512 or 1513 (see pp. 95, 112 of the account).

This entry and that of 1506 should strictly be in a list by
themselves, being neither “lost” nor “fictitious.”

1585.

P. 14. ¬Bilson¬, Thomas. _Add at end_:—

A curious account of an abortive effort on the part of Edmund
Bollifant and three partners to produce a reprint of this book, will
be found in Arber’s ©Transcript of the Stationers’ Registers© II
(1875), p. 793.

P. 17. ¬Parsons¬, Robert, (2nd entry, no. 6). _Add at end_:—

An explanation of this reprint will be found in Arber’s ©Transcript of
the Stationers’ Registers© II (1875), p. 793 (a petition from N.
Newton, E. Bollifant, and others, in the winter of 1585/6), from which
it appears that John Wight, printer, of London, who had entered a copy
of his edition of the book at Stationers’ Hall on 28 Aug. 1584, sent
his son to Oxford to buy up the whole of Barnes’s reprint: which was
done. But Barnes promptly printed “two ympressions more,” of which the
present volume is no doubt one. Possibly the preceding art. is the
other re-impression, and Wight effectually suppressed the whole first
edition.

The preface contains some autobiographical details. There appear to be
at least three editions of this work, 1586, 1592 (q. v.) and 1615 (q.
v.), all printed at Oxford.

the Stationers’ Registers© II (1875), p. 16). The metal engraving of a

P. 42. ¬Agatharchides.¬

Professor Bywater has pointed out that the extracts from Agatharchides
and Memnon are from an earlier printed edition of them, and not
directly from Photius’s ©Bibliotheca©, which was first printed in
1601. Had the matter been taken from a MS. of Photius, the editor
would no doubt have claimed the honour, whereas he claims credit only
for the new translation into Latin.

P. 42. _After_ ¬Agatharchides¬ _add_:—

¬Brett¬, Richard, of Lincoln College. Theses M^{ri} BRET respondentis in Comitiis. | Oxon. 1597. | [text follows, as below.]

A single sheet, 8½ in. high by 6 broad, printed on both sides,
containing three theses. The first is _Politia Ecclesiæ Anglicanæ cum
iure divino non pugnat_, followed by short Latin, Greek, and Hebrew
poems. The second is followed by Latin, “Caldaica,” and “Syrica”
poems, the last being written in MS. The third is followed by Latin,
Arabic, and Æthiopic poems, the last two being filled in in MS. The
Hebrew is in Pica type. For Brett, see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.© ii. 611: he
took the degree of Bachelor of Divinity on 6 June, 1597.

This set of seven leaves is apparently an experiment to be used for
indexing sermons or comments under the verse of the Bible to which
they refer. They are blank tables in the form “Versus 1 [2, 3, &c. to

Eighteen verses are on each page, and references to L(iber) P(agina)
L(inea) were intended to be filled in. No Latin Bible of folio size of
1629, ‘30 or ‘31 seems to exist, so probably this was intended to be
bound up with some earlier edition. The only copy known is in the
British Museum in MS. Harl. 5932, fol. 45 (Bagford’s collections), and
no doubt the intended publication was abandoned.
