S. n. (Coloniæ, Joannes Koelhof, circ. 1477) With signatures a-f in eights, g and h six leaves each (the last a blank). -This edition is described in the Bibl. Spencer. I 353; by Brunet II 31; and by Panzer IV 112; but none of these bibliographers divined who was the typographer. Graesse however guessed rightly: the book is in exactly the same type as the Eneas Sylvius and the Ovidii Vetula which follow.-At the end of the Rhetorica in this volume, two letters of Æneas Sylvius are printed; one of which, addressed to Heinrich Count of Lupffen, contains an interesting sketch of the various kinds of book-collectors. The real object of the letter was to obtain a loan of the MSS. of Terence, of Ovid de Arte Amandi, Amoris remedio, and Tristia, and of Hieronymus in Epistolis, which Count Lupffen possessed; as Æneas Sylvius was desirous of re-perusing those old friends now that Easter is nigh and that I shall be able to feed on meat and get rid of fish, potherbs, and oil. To this printer belongs the distinction of having been the first to use printed signatures (in his edition of Nider, Preceptorium divine legis, 1472). 36029 ÆNEAS SILVIUS.

[Ulma] Ex officina et ductu ludovici hohenwanng de Elchmgen (sic), s. a. [cir. 1472] EXCESSIVELY RARE. Its rarity may be imagined from the fact that Hassler, the special bibliographer of the early press at Ulm, cites it with hesitation, on the authority of Panzer, and no one else appears to have seen it until now. Besides the eight woodcuts referred to above (one of which is a repetition) there are two ornamental woodcut initials. The book is without catchwords, foliation, and signatures.
