_Vniversitas_: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—sign. A 2^r title: A
3^r-B 2^r, the propositions.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 3 and ©Hist. and Antiqq. of the University
of Oxford©, sub anno 1622. The propositions condemned were those
delivered by William Knight of Broadgates Hall in a University sermon
on Apr. 15, 1622, founded on principles of David Pareus, to the effect
that subjects may take up arms against their sovereign. The
propositions and censures were considered in a Convocation 25 June
1622. The form of oath to be taken by all future graduates is
appended, and a note that Pareus’s book was burnt on 6 June 1622.

Impr. 40: sm. 4^o: pp. [58] signn. ( ), *^4, **^1, A-F^4: sign. B 1^r
beg. _Heroum vulgus_: Pica Roman. Contents:—sign. ( ) 2^r title: ( )
3^r “Munificentia Savilii in celeberrimam Vniversitatem Oxoniensem”:
( ) 4^r, dedication to the Earl of Pembroke by the “Genius Scholarum”:
( ) 4^v, see below: * 1^r-** 1^v “Oratio funebris habita in scholâ

Aurati. A Tho. Goffe ... publico Academiæ Oratore tunc temporis
deputato”: ( ) 4^v, A 1^r-F 3^v, the poems.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 315, 463. The poems are nearly all in
Latin, but 5 are Greek, 2 Hebrew, one French, and one English: there
is one chronogram. The “Oratio funebris” is clearly an added piece.

9. ¬Rawlinson¬, John. “©The Bridegroom and Bride©: On Cant. 4. 8. Ib. [i. e. Oxon.] 1622, &c. qu.”

So in Wood’s list of Rawlinson’s sermons (©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 506). It
was preached in 1662 and re-printed at Oxford in 1625, but Wood’s
statement is explicit, and there may have been a separate issue in
1622, though I have not met with a copy or other reference to it.

This is a reply by a Cambridge man to Francis Anthony’s supposed
discovery of a medicine called Aurum Potabile, in his ©Apologia
veritatis illucescentis, pro auro potabili©, Lond. 1616. For the
controversy see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 416. This work was sent to
press at Oxford in 1616, but recalled before printing.

pp. [4], sign. ( )^2: sign. ( ) 2^r beg. 3 _What Baron Althams_: Pica
Roman. Contents:—pp. (2–3) the Case.

Merton College let the manor of Maldon to the Queen in 21 Eliz.
(1578–79), for 5000 years. The lease was disputed by the College in
1621 (“about two yeares since”), and again in this Case, which sets
out the reasons for annulling the same.

5. ¬Oxford¬, University. CAROLVS | REDVX. | [_device_ with AC. on one side and OX. on the other.]

Impr. 42: 1623: sm. 4^o: pp. [92], signn. ( )^2 ¶^4 ¶¶^2 A-I^4 K^2:

typographorum ad Principem,” two short Latin poems.

Poems by members of the University of Oxford to congratulate prince
Charles on his return from Madrid to England 5 Oct. 1623. Most are in
Latin, but 4 in Greek and 2 in Hebrew: there are also 4 chronograms, 1
acrostich and 1 anagram. For King’s speech see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©,

No imprint: 1624: sm. 4^o: pp. [8]: ( ) 3^r beg. _Consilium extorsit_:
Great Primer Roman. Contents:—( ) 1^r, title: 2^r-4^r, the Latin poem,
at end “_Faciebat R.A._”

A Latin hexameter poem on the death of sir Thomas Reid, of whom I do
not readily find any account. No part of this was printed in Oxford,
the woodcuts and type being unknown there: even the small device of
the Arms of the University on the titlepage (which has caused this
work to be ascribed to the Oxford Press) differs from the genuine one.
No doubt the book was printed in London.

the work: 123, a chronogram, 1624.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 424. The book was entered at Stationers’
Hall to Will. Turner, 18 July 1623. The author, whose initials only
occur in the book, was at this time bishop of Chichester: the editor
Vicars had married the bishop’s daughter. Sir Chr. Heydon’s book was
published in 1603 at Cambridge, and a second book by him on Astrology
published in 1650 was followed by a reprint of the present work in
1651.

For the author and book see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 207, and 1619 F.
Only known at present from a titlepage in the Bagford collections at
the British Museum (463. h. 3), but it is not likely to be rare.

Impr. 39, &c. exactly as 1623 F.

This is a reissue of the sheets of 1623 F with part of the titlepage
altered. There is another issue of this reissue, *undated, with impr.
49_a_, but no other change from the present edition of any kind.

Impr. 45: 1624: 16^o.

Only known at present from a titlepage in the Bagford collections in
the British Museum (463. h. 3), but it is not likely to be rare.

8. Heylyn, Peter. Microcosmus: the reference in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 557 to an edition of this year, is probably an error for 1625.

members of the University of Oxford on the death of William Camden,
which took place on 9 Nov. 1623. Most are in Latin, but there are 10
Greek, with 5 anagrams, and 2 chronograms. Whear’s Oration contains
many biographical details about Camden.

10. ——. SCHOLA | MORALIS | PHILOSOPHIAE | _OXON._ | In funere WHITI pullata. | [_device._]

Professorship of Moral Philosophy, died 1 Mar. 1623/4. The poems are
all in Latin, except two in Greek.

4^r, the speech, signed “I. P. V. Ox.” i. e. J. Prideaux,
Vicecancellarius Oxon.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 267. The speech describes, among other
things, the recent architectural and public works in Oxford: and is
reprinted in Prideaux’s Perez-Vzzah (1625 P).

Impr. 52: 1625: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 43 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _ent

Sir Thomas Richardson, the author’s uncle, dated “From my study in
Christ-Church in Oxford. Nouemb. 24.” 1624: 1–43 the sermon, on Rom.
vi. 23: 43, “Errata”.

See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 457. The title and each page are within
bounding lines. The author gives as one of his reasons for printing
the sermon, that it was very wet when he delivered it, so that his
auditors were few.

also 11 _teration next_, 111 _monstrated in_: Pica Roman.
Contents:—(3) title: (5–7) dedication to the earl of Pembroke: (9–15)
“... contents of each chapter of the first booke ...”: (17–18) “To my
Booke”, a poem: 1–274 the first book: (5) a titlepage:—“GEOGRAPHY |
THE SECOND | BOOKE. | _CONTAINING THE GENERALL_ | _Topicall part

different motto]: (7–9) dedication to the earl of Montgomery: (11–18)
“A table of the ... contents of the second booke ...”: 1–286, the
second book: (1) Apology for erratas and an omitted diagram: (2)

pp. (8) “The Analysis of the first Booke”: 252 “A Table ...”: (18)
“The Analysis of the seconde Booke”: 228 “A Table of the Climates
...”. The omitted diagram would have followed p. 62 of the second
part.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 422, and 1635 C. The treatise is of the
theory and principles of Geography, not of details like Heylyn’s
©Microcosmus©. The author maintains that the earth is the centre of
the universe, the sun and planets revolving round it! There are many
woodcut diagrams in the text.

Very scarce. George Wither’s ©Withers Motto, Nec habeo, nec Careo, nec
Curo©, was published in 1621 and consists of reflexions on human
affairs: this book is a poetical satire on those reflexions, and on
the character of Wither. The author is unknown.

See 1614 G. This edition was printed in London, though published in
Oxford: it was not entered at Stationer’s Hall in 1624 or 1625.

Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2–3) dedication to King Charles: (5–6)
“To the Reader”: (7–8) “To my brother the Author”, a poem by Edw.
Heylyn: (9–11) “A Table of the principall countries, ...”: (12–16) “A
Table of the principall things”: (16) “A computation of ... forraine
coynes ...”: 1–812, (1) the work: (2) a correction of p. 148 and
“Errata”. Before p. 7 should come a narrow folded leaf, probably about
10 in. high by 5 in. wide, with “The Table of Climes”, printed on one
side only.

Latin poem: 1–25 the Sermon, on 2 Tim. iv. 13.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 629. A singular sermon, more learned than
theological. The title seems to be explained by pp. 20–21, where
Antonio Possevino (_d._ 1611) is cited as planning a purgatio
bibliothecarum in the interests of the Roman Catholic Church: to this
James opposes his plea for freedom of research.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. This is a reprint of the text of the
©Humble ... Request© below (except the last paragraph beginning “For
the raising of the charges,” which James probably saw to be
unpractical), with the addition of comments, written in senile style
but obviously by dr. James, and of great interest both for the
biography of the author and the principles of criticism as applied to
editing a text from MSS. These 26 “Theses or Rules concerning the Art
Criticke” are, at p. 23, followed by examples. Dr. James paid two
Dutchmen for transcription abroad at the rate of 20_s._ per quire,
each quire taking them a week, and the hundred quires per year
sufficing to keep two presses at work (p. 17). At p. 26 he explains

No imprint or date, but Oxford, 1625 (perhaps 1624) (eight) 16^o: pp.
15 + [1]: Great Primer English. Contents:—p. 1 title as above: 1–15,
the request, signed “T. I. S. T. P. B. P. N.” (i. e. Thomas James,
Sanctae Theologiae Professor: for B. P. N. see note to 1599 R.: but
the occurrence of the letters here without any text or motto favours
the interpretation “Bono Publico Natus”): (1) a form of approbation of
the scheme, signed by 17 leading men in Oxford.

Rare. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 467. This (and still more the
©Explanation© above, which see) is an interesting plea for the
application of criticism to aid in restoring the texts of Fathers and
Schoolmen which had been corrupted by Roman Catholic theologians. The
date cannot be precisely ascertained: the titles of the approvers only
confine it to 1624, 1625, or 1626: the ©Explanation© alludes to it as
“lately” issued: so that it is difficult to say whether 1624 or 1625
is the year of issue.

concerned (which is not now standing) was built entirely at dr.
Hakewill’s expense, at a cost of about £1200. The preface to the

dr. Hakewill was a kinsman of sir Thomas Bodley. The sermon was
reprinted at Oxford in 1636.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 217. The first edition was published in
London in 1623, with a similar title, giving 12 July 1623 as the date
of the Dissertation: the preface is dated 29 Sept. 1623 and the
dedication is to William Camden, then alive, but the Oratio is not
prefixed. For other edd. see 1637 W, 1662.

Pica Roman. Contents:—p. 1 title: 3–30, the work: (1–2) not seen.

Very rare. This is a curious production of a Dutch press, and appears
to be a vigorous defence of Barneveldt (_d._ 1619) and the Arminians
against Maurice prince of Orange and the Gomarists. Latin, French,
Dutch and Italian are used, and the whole piece abounds with lacunae.
“Walter Map” in the imprint is of course the well-known archdeacon of
Oxford in the 12th cent., whose satires are still appreciated.

sir Richard Blunt, signed “Rob. Barnes”, “from my study at Greys this
4th of May, 1626”: 1–30, the sermon.

See Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 339. The author was the son of Joseph
Barnes the printer, and a Fellow of Magdalen College: the dedication
contains some biographical matter, and the sermon some Henley affairs,
such as ploughing on Easter Tuesday, which the preacher laments.

answers in Latin verse: 1–25 the two diatribae; 27–63, the concio, on
Jud. 11.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 633. The preface explains that the
discourses were printed in order to confute a charge of Arminianism.

(3–4) “To the Reader,” unsigned, but by William Pinke the translator,
see below: (5–8) “A Table of the Chapters”: 1–173 The Examination, in
41 chapters and a Conclusion: (2) “Faults escaped in some copies,” 6¼
lines of Errata.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 476, where Bliss adds a note from White
Kennett’s copy of the 1^{st} ed. of the Athenæ (at i. 463) “William
Pinke. He translated and published An Examination ... 1626. 4^{to}.
Ded. to the Master Wardens and Assistants of the Skinners Company. by
W. P. [William Pinke] acknowledging his Engagements to the whole
Company, and reverencing the Memory of that worthy Knight Sir James
Lancaster.” Neither the British Museum copy nor the two Bodleian
copies contain the above dedication, the signatures of the preliminary
matter being, on each leaf:—(blank), *2, **, (blank), forming one
gathering of 4 leaves of a natural kind, though the double asterisk is
odd. The original French bore the title “Traicté auquel sont examinez
les preiugez de ceux de l’Eglise Romaine. Contre la Religion Reformee”
(La Rochelle, 1617.) Cameron was a Scotchman, minister at Bordeaux and
Professor of Theology at Saumur. The address to the reader apologises
for using the word _prejudice_ as a translation of the French
_Preiugé_, which means a preconceit either good or bad: and says “I
have not construed but translated.”

xiv. 26.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 273. The “P. T.” of the title seems to
be _Pro Tempore_: the use of 1626 for 1625 or 1625/6 is noticeable.

Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–4) Latin dedication to the duke of Suffolk:
1-“221” the treatise.

1. ¬Felix¬, Marcus Minucius. M. MINVCII | FELICIS | OCTAVIVS. | [_woodcuts._]

See 1631 F, 1636 F, 1662, 1678. The printer says that he has cleared
this edition from the errors of Froben’s. I have seen a copy in which
the type of pages 12 and 13 has changed places. The work is an apology
for Christianity.

2. ¬Fell¬, dr. Samuel. _PRIMITIÆ_, | SIVE | ORATIO | H^ABI^{TA} OXON^IAE | IN SCHOLA THEOLOGICA | _NONO NOVEMBRIS_. | ET | _CONCIO LATINA AD_ | _BACCALAVREOS DIE_ | _CINERVM_. | Per SAMVELEM FELL Præbendarium Ecclesiæ | Christi, & Publicum Professorem in Theo-|logiâ, pro Dominâ MARGARETA | _Comitissâ Richmondiæ_. | [_device._]

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 243. The (inaugural) oration contains
some details about Fell’s predecessor in the professorship, dr. Seb.
Benefield: the two pieces would seem to have been delivered in 1626
and 1626/7.

English translation: 1–473, the work: (2–5) “A Revise,” corrections of
a few passages, &c.

The author was George Hakewill. See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 256,
where “Lond.” is a mistake for “Oxford”: for other edd. see 1630 H,
1635 H.

4. ¬Heylyn¬, Peter. ΜΙΚΡΟ´ΚΟΣΜΟΣ. | _A_ | LITTLE DE-|SCRIPTION OF | THE GREAT WORLD. | The third Edition. Revised. | [_line_] | By PETER HEYLYN. | [_line_, then _motto_, then _woodcut_.]

Impr. 71: 1627: (eights) sm. 4^o: pp. [20] + folded leaf + 807 + [5]:
p. 11 beg. 1. _First then_, 501 _Scotland is by_: Pica Roman.
Contents:—p. (1) title, within an arched border; (3–4) dedication to

principall Countries ...”: (13–14) “A table of the antient ... nations

Forraine coynes ...”: 1–807, (1–2), the work: (3) “Errata”. Before p.
7 should come a folded leaf, as in the 2nd ed. (1625).

See 1621 H, Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 557. In the copy seen on p. (2)
at the end of the book, in the original printing of the English lines
beginning “But whither goeth”, l. 6 (beg. “Into safe”) is before l. 4,
making nonsense: and a corrected reprint of the whole 12 lines is
pasted over the faulty original.

Rare, see 1589 R. Of bp. Rider’s double lexicon the first part at
least (English-Latin) was published at Oxford in 1589. In 1606 Francis
Holyoke supplied a Latin-English part (based on Rider’s Index) and
published both at London. Subsequent edd. of the two parts together
are Lond. 1617, Lond. 1626 (ed. N. Gray), the present one Oxf. 1627,
Lond. 1633 (called the 4th), Lond. 1640 (called the 5th), Lond. 1649,
Lond. 1659, (acc. to Bohn’s Lowndes, s.v. Rider, where however since
1637 is an error for 1627, this 1659 may be one for 1649), and, edited
by Thomas Holyoke son of Francis, Lond. 1677.

select list of recommended books. Those which were in the Bodleian are
marked with a star.
