1^r, title: A 1^v, “decretum Concilii Viennensis”, see below, then
device: 2^r-2^v, dedication to the University of Oxford, in Latin,
dated 5 Dec. 1626: A 3^r-C 2^v, the oration.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 445. The oration is of considerable
interest for the history of Oriental studies at Oxford. It claims to
be the first on the subject at Oxford, quotes the decree of the
Council of Vienne 1311–12 that there ought to be instruction in
Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee at Oxford, and urges the fitness of the
study in Oxford. Pasor was lecturer on Arabic only from 1626 to 1629.
Some Arabic MSS. in the Bodleian are mentioned on sign. B7^r and B7^v.

8. ¬Prideaux¬, dr. John. In the ©Catalogus ... librorum ... Richardi Davis bibliopolæ, pars quarta© (Lond. 1692, 4^o) p. 10, no. 183 is “Joan. Prideaux Lectiones novem, Oxon. 1627.” See 1626 P.

Impr. 70: 1627: (fours) fol.: pp. [4] + 18 + 67 + 37 + [1] + 14 + 13 +

Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title; (3–4) dedication to the bp. of Lincoln:
1– ... 64, the treatise in 14 books separately paged.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 38. The first four books contain Great
Britain. The signatures begin again with the 10th and with the 11th
book, but every book is separately paged. The matter is a mixture of
history and geography.

10. ¬Smith¬, Samuel. Wood (©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 283) mentions an edition of the Aditus ad Logicam of this year: see 1617 S.

Impr. 72: 1627: sm. 4^o: pp. 32: p. 11 beg. _argumentaque_: English
Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title: 2, “Ad Lectores Candidos”: 3–6, Latin
letters between “Thom. Vicarsius” (“Gallager”, = of Cockfield) and
John Goldsmith (“Gallinager” = of Henfield), and William Cox, canon of
Chichester, one dated 7 Jan. 1622 or 1623: 7–32, the discourse, on
Luke xii. 32.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 443. The original treatise of Coelius
Secundus Curio (an Italian, _d._ 1569) entitled “... De amplitudine
beati regni Dei dialogi sive libri duo” was first published in 1554,
and his contention that the number of the saved is greater than that
of the lost is here refuted.

12. ¬Wake¬, Isaac. REX PLATONICVS_:_ | [&c. exactly as 1615 W, except that the colon in the first line is italic, not Roman, and “Quarta” for “Tertia”.]

See 1607 W. This fourth edition is a verbatim but not literatim
reprint of the 3^{rd} ed. (1615).

Impr. 58: 1627: eights 12^o: pp. [16] + 50 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _where

Matth. xxi. 9.

1628.

Impr. 72: 1628: (eights) 16^o: pp. [8] + 224: p. 11 beg. _eo: vt, si_,
111 I. _Necessaria, cui_: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title:
(5–6) “Typographus benevolo Lectori ...”: (7) “Sphalmata ...”, errata:
(8) “_Arbor Porphyriana_”: 1–224, the work comprising an “Introductio
generalis ...” and six books.

The first edition of Airay’s Logic, see 1633 A, 1660. The preface
explains that the author’s name is omitted from modesty, and that
several MSS. of the first three books have been compared and something
added, as well as three more books.

2. Bodleian Library. The entry in the “Catalogi ... librorum ... Richardi Davis ... pars quarta,” Lond. 1692, p. 29:—“108. Catalogus Librorum in Bibliotheca Bodleiana—Oxon. 1628” must be an error for 1620.

Impr. 72 _b_: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [32] + single leaf + 472: p. 11 beg.
_genus & species_, 401 _tes sit sanus_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1)
title: (3–8) epistola dedicatoria to sir Rich. Brook of Norton, signed
“Thomas Sixesmith”, “Oxonij, è Musæo meo, in Collegio Ænea-Nasensi,
13. Calend. Octob. 1628”: (9–12) “Erudito Lectori ...”: (13–31) “Index
sectionum quæstionumque ...”: a folded sm. folio leaf “Pag. 1” bearing
an “Analysis” of logic, printed on one side only, perhaps not by
Brerewood: 1–472, the ten treatises (pp. 63–64 are another folded
leaf, printed in style similar to the former one, but “Sect. 17”).

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 140. Brerewood died in 1613.

Impr. 70: 1628: (fours) folio: pp. [8?] + 77 + [11] + 646 (after 208
are two unnumbered leaves, and after 374 one) + [12]: p. 11 beg. _atq;
auidè_, 501 _so they must_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) engraved
title: [(3–6) not seen, two leaves of verses?] (7) dedication to
George lord Berkeley: 1–77 “Democritus Iunior to the reader”: (2)
“Lectori malè feriato”: (4–7) “the Synopsis of the first partition”:
(8–9) “Democritus Iunior ad librum suum”, elegiacs: (10–11) “The
Authors Abstract of Melancholy, διαλογικῶς”, verses: 1–208, the first
partition: (1–4) “The Synopsis of the second partition”: 209–374, the
second partition: (1–2) “Analysis of the third partition”: 375–646,
the third partition: (1–8) “The Table”, an index: (9) “Errata sic
corrigas”: (11) Impr. 75, between woodcuts.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 653, and 1621 B. The author’s name does
not occur in the book. The engraved title is divided into 12 parts,
arranged in horizontal rows of three, but the rows are not of equal
height: no. 1 (left top corner) is “Zelotipia,” birds with river and
trees: 2. “Democritus Abderites” by his garden, under a tree: 3.
Solitudo,” deer &c. in a glade: 4. (second row) “Inamorato” a
love-sick youth with suitable surroundings: 5. title, as above: 6.
“Hypocondriacus” a king, sitting: 7. “Superstitiosus,” a monk on his
knees, telling his beads: 8. “Democritus Junior,” half length, with
arms, book, sphere and ladder (?): 9. “Maniacus,” chained: 10.
“Borago,” the plant: 11. Imprint, with “C: le ... Blon. fe:” the
engraver: 12. “Helleborus,” the plant. This title is found in later
editions, but in a comparatively worn state.

Impr. 80: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. 48: p. 11 beg. _constrayned first of
all_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title: 3–4, dedication to sir Thomas
Leigh, dated “from the publique Library in Oxford this 30 of Aug.
1628”: 5–6, “To the Reader”: 7–48, the treatise.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 222. The author states that when he
first came into England he “belonged unto” Sir Tho. Leigh and his
grandfather of the same names. The “sovereign judge” of the treatise
is declared to be “God speaking in the Scriptures.”

6. ¬Carpenter¬, Nathaniel. ©Achitophel: or, the Picture of a wicked Politician©, in 3 parts. Dubl. 1627, oct. Ox. 1628, qu.

So in Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 422, where Wood relates that the Lond.
1629 ed. (and presumably all subsequent editions) is expurgated of
passages supposed to reflect on Arminianism. See 1640 C. The British
Museum, Bodleian, Advocates’ Library at Edinburgh and the Library of
Trinity College, Dublin, do not seem to possess a copy of either of
the two first editions.

Impr. 87: 1628: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [4] + 129 + [3]: p. 11 beg. _mo
nobis bene_, 111 _prehendere, vel_: Pica Roman. Contents.—pp. (1–2),
not seen: (3) title, within a double line: (4) second title “Ethica
Iuvenilis, seu Manuductorium ad laudabilem morum Concinnitatem ...”,
and preface signed “G. W.”: 1–129, the treatise: (2–3) not seen.

See 1630 C. The author was Giovanni della Casa, and the translator
Nathan Chytraeus, whose initials occur on p. 1: but the copy seen had
no trace of “J. W. de Umbra variæ,” though the binding was original.
There are many editions of the Italian and Latin forms of this
treatise (see 1630 C and 1665), and some of an English translation.
Pp. 1–128 of this edition were reissued as part of the 1665 edition.

Impr. 85: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 39 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _sible
resemblance_: Pica English and Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, (2) four
“Errata”: 3–8 “To his parishioners ...” of Appleton, a dedication and
preface: 1–39 the work.

For the author see Wood’s ©Fasti Oxon.©, i. 389.

Impr. 84: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 26 + 26: pp. 11 beg. _for mans

whole volume. All the pages of text are within a bounding line doubled
at the top and outer side.

Impr. 68_a_: 1628: (sixes) fol.: pp. [16] + 906 + [2]: p. 11 beg.
_tation of daungerous_, 701 _wrongs of the Court_: Pica Roman.

343–402, bk 4: 403, a title to book 5, and its appendix, with impr.
68: 403–746, bk 5: 747–906, the appendix: (1–2) not seen.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 184, 1635 F. The first ed. (two different
issues) was Lond. 1606 (5th book, Lond. 1610). The author died in
1616. Three edd. or parts of edd. have been issued even in the 19th
century. The signatures run completely through the book.

Impr. 70: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 277 + [23]: p. 11 beg. _malefactor,
but_, 201 _Cap. 8. De rupe_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title,

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 436.

Impr. 82: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [12], signn. A^4 B^2: sign. B 1^r beg.
_spected to conceale_: Pica English. Contents:—sign. A 1^r title: A

Impr. 72_a_: 1628: (eights) 16^o: pp. [8] + 46 + [2]: p. 11 beg.
_demùm sunt hæc_: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–7)
epistola dedicatoria to Thomas earl of Southampton: (8) “Errata”:
1–46, the sermon on Rev. iii. 4.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 345. The dedication states that Parre
was chaplain to his patron the earl of Southampton.

Impr. 68: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 29 + [7]: p. 11 beg. _hortation. As

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 345.

Impr. 84: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 24 + 72 + “31”-“38” + [4?]: pp. 11
beg. _and cast themselues_, and _tence 2. Thess_: pp. 33 beg. _as
those Children_, and _his happyness_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1)
title, within arched border: (3–4) “To the Reader”, signed by the
editor “Iohn Tombes”: 1–24 the first sermon, on John viii. 34: 1–25,
the second, on Hos. iv. 6: 27–43, the third, on Heb. iii. 12–13:
44–66, the fourth on Ex. xxxiv. 23–24: 67–71, “31”-“38”, 1, the fifth,
on Cant. ii. 16: (3–4) not seen.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 331 (where “Lond.” is an error for
“Oxf.”) and 1629 P. Pemble died in 1623. The editor was a pupil of
Pemble (Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 1062), and succeeded him in his
lectureship at Magdalen hall. There is something curious about the
printing of this volume: the pagination is peculiar, and sign. K 1^r
(p. “31”) has the running title of sermon 4 instead of 5: also the
catchword on p. “38” is _have_ instead of _having_, and the next page
differs in style of printing. The second edition shows each sermon
with a separate pagination, but appears otherwise to be a verbatim
reprint. The signatures of this first ed. begin again with the second
sermon, and the first at least of the last two leaves bears no
signature, though beginning a new sheet.

Impr. 76: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 14 + [2]: p. 11 beg. _taine vnto
him_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–14, the speech.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 456. This tract is generally found
without any title page (signn. A—B^4 only): the London booksellers
seem to have printed one for their own purposes, not deeming the title
as it heads p. 1 (“Sir Beniamin Ruddierd’s speach in behalfe of the
Cleargy.”) sufficient. Some early copies have the number of the first
page central over the author’s name, enclosed in brackets; but it was
doubtless soon moved to the upper right hand corner, because in its
original place it seemed to indicate a first _part_ of the tract
rather than simply the first page. This speech was reprinted at London
in 1641.

Impr. 77: 1628: sm. 4^o: pp. [16] + 78 + [2] + 78 + [2]: pp. 11 beg.
_All the glory_, and _children, yee cannot_: English Roman.
Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication to George duke of Buckingham:
(7–12) “The Preface to the Reader”: (13–15) “The Contents”: 1–78
“Booke I”, in 3 chapters: 1–78 “Booke II”, in 3 chapters: 78, imprint
78.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 495. The second book, which is distinct
in pagination, signatures and colophon, seems to have been printed
separately and even issued by itself.

Impr. 68: 1628: (twelves) 16^o: pp. 198 + [6]: p. 11 beg. _this I
now_, 101 _Redeemer liueth_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title: 3–11,
Epistle dedicatory to Lorenzo Cary son of viscount Falkland: 13–198,
the directions: (1–3) “The Contents of each Chapter”.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 274, and 1640 T. There were also Oxford
edd. in 1671 (8th), 1680 (10th), but all editions seem to be uncommon.

Impr. 83: 1628: (eights) sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 680: p. 11 beg. _illius de
chao_, 501 _Nec meliorem_: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: [pp.
3–4 are perhaps always torn out, as blank]: (5) Errata: (6–7)
“Syllabus & Ordo Disputationum”: 1–680, the forty deputations, each
divided into theses.

See 1631 V. These Disputations were printed at Leiden in 1615, and the
Hague in 1658. In the title the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 9th, as well as
the first line of the Imprint “Bellositi Dobunorum,” are in red ink.
There are large paper copies of this work.

Impr. 86: 1628: (eights) 16^o: pp. [16] + 55 + [1]: p. 11 beg. _was
sinne wrought_: Great Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5, 7–15)
dedication and epistle dedicatory to lady Katharine Stanhope: 1–55,
the sermon, on Rev. vii. 10.

explain an extraordinary entry in the ©Bibliotheca Gulstoniana© (1688)
p. 35 “Joan. Wouveri pietas erga Benefactores, Oxon. 1626”!

1629.

Impr. 88: 1629: 12^o: pp. [24] + 283 + [5] + 288 + 299 + [5] + 230:

curators of the University of Franeker, 3 Kal. Oct. 1626: 1–230, tome

This is a long controversial treatise against Bellarmine on the
Calvinist side, and covers nearly the whole ground of theology. There
are editions issued at Amsterdam in 1625–6, 1628 and 1638, and at
London in 1632–33.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 684. The address “to the Reader” states
that the book is “the summe of sundry Lectures deliuered in mine owne
Charge” St. Magnus, London, and that some had accused him of altering
what he had preached before publishing it.

See 1633 B. For the author see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 209–10. The
reference there to a ©Rhetoricæ Libri duo© of this year is probably an
error for ©Oratoriæ Libri duo©. At sign. A4^2 is a description of the
various type in use, giving a series of Nonpareil, Breuier, (Long)
Primier, Pique, English, Great Primier, Double Pique, Canon, with
specimens of each.

For the translator see Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, iii. 53. This is a
reprint, even to many of the misprints, of the London ed. of 1622
(also “1623”) printed for Edw. Blount, who assigned his edition to R.
Allot, for whom the Oxford edition was printed, on 1 Dec. 1628. The
only omission is the two lists of errata in the London issue. The
demand for this entertaining book was such that a third corrected
edition was published by Allot in 1634. The translator was secretary
to sir John Digby when Ambassador in Spain, and the first edition of
the original Spanish is dated 1599 (1st part) and 1602 or 1603 (2nd
part). Each page (and margin) is enclosed within lines.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 499 (where _Lond._ is an error for

signatures), of the rest of the book. The author says these are his
first printed works.

died in Nov. 1613. Richard Byfield, brother of Nicholas, who received
Brerewood’s treatise “a little before November” 1640, wrote a special
confutation of it (Lond. 1631), and the controversy became general.

author. “T. Cecill sculp”, probably in London.

©Ath. Oxon.©) and in 1685, both times at Oxford, as well as in the
collected editions of Pemble’s works (3rd ed. 1635 &c.) at London.
There are several woodcut diagrams, but the whole book is occupied
solely with what the author calls the general part of Geography, that
is to say with the “nature, qualities, measure, with other general
properties of the earth”, and not with a description of separate
countries.
