In A (the present volume) it is impossible to reckon twelve Orations, and the book falls into three parts (a) pp. [6] + 77 + [17], signn. A-D¹², sectt. i-iii. above: (b) pp. 201 + [1], signn. A-H¹², I 1–5, sectt. iv-xi.: (c) pp. [110], signn. I 6–12, K-N¹², sectt. xii-xiv. In B (Lond. 1619) a is as before occupying pp. [12] + 1–106: then follows “... Rainoldi ... Orationes quinque ...” with a separate titlepage and preface by H. Jackson, occupying pp. 107–348 [the Orations beg. Si quis (1573), Redit agricolis (1574), Si quantum vel, cum in isto (1577), Si quantum ad (1573)]: then b, pp. 349–528: then c, the Plutarch and Maximus Tyrius, with separate titlepages, occupying pp. 529–624: there is no extra titlepage at end. In C (Lond. 1628) the same four sections occupy pp. [6] + 1–92, 93–302, 303–460, 461–548, corresponding closely with B in contents.

So in the Bibliotheca Heberiana (Auction catalogue of Richard Heber’s Library), part 6 (Lond. 1835), p. 185: the book sold for 9s. See 1613 C.

17. Smith, Samuel. “262. Smith (Sam.) & Brerewoodi Logica—Oxon. 1614.”

So in “Catalogi Librorum Richardi Davis bibliopolæ. Pars secunda” (Lond. 1686), p. 77. No Oxford edition of Smith’s Aditus ad Logicam is at present known, see 1613. S, 1617. S (reff. there), but as the latter is a 3rd edition, there may well have been one printed at Oxford in this year, of which no copy has yet found its way into bibliography. Of Brerewood’s Logica there is a London 1614 ed., probably alluded to in Davis’s Catalogue above.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 488. The dedication states that the Sermons were written “many years” before, and existed in several MS. copies, and thanks lord Paget for benefactions to the Margaret Professor. The Sin is discovered to be a malicious denial of Christianity.

3. Brasbridge, Thomas. “Questiones in Officia M. T. Ciceronis, compendiariam totius opusculi Epitomen continentes. Oxon. 1615, oct. Dedicated to Dr. Laur. Humphrey president of Magd. coll. an. 1586.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 411. This is a reprint of 1612 D, but neither is that fact mentioned, nor is the author’s name on the title.

7. ——.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 411. The dedication alludes to the circumstances of preaching “David’s Desire to go to Church,” see 1612 D, and foreg. art.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 168, where a MS. note by Bliss in his own copy shows that the author was the Fellow of New College, and that Wood was in error in supposing otherwise. See next art.

9. ——. VERBA DIERVM, | [&c. precisely as foreg. art.]

Impr. 7: 1615: sm. 4^o: pp. [4] + 181 + [3]: p. 11 beg. tie? And, 111 to come. By: English Roman. Contents:—p.

This is a second issue with some of the text reset, with additions and alterations, as for instance on p. 144 in which the paginal misprint “134” is corrected, and which begins “newes of His Glory,” instead of “of Speech more warrantable.”

10. Hakewill, George. THE | VANITIE OF | THE EYE, | First beganne [&c. exactly as 1608 H, second edition, except “third” for “second,” “Author” for “Authour,” and different woodcuts on title.]

See 1608 H. This is a reprint throughout, with the addition of some quotes on an extra sheet.

11. Haven. “The hauen of the afflicted / Oxon. 1615.”.

A doubtful entry in the Bibliotheca classica ... authore M. Georgio Draudio (Francof. 1625), 2nd part, p. 269: probably referring to Sebastian Benefield’s Sermon, 1613, which see.

12. Mornay, Philippe de, seigneur Du Plessis. AN | HOMILY VPON | THESE WORDS | of Saint Matthew, | Chap. 16, v. 18. | Tu es Petrus. | WRITTEN FIRST | in French by that Hono-|rable and learned perso-|nage, Monsieur Du Ples-|sis Mornay. | AND TRANSLATED | into English by I. V. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 2: 1615: (twelve & six) 16^o: pp. [8] + 28: p. 11 beg. ceaued of God: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) epistle dedicatory to D^r Prideaux rector of Exeter college Oxford “my most respected good Master,” signed “I. V”: 1–28, the homily.

The “I. V.” is supposed to be John Verneuil sublibrarian of the Bodleian, who was a Frenchman by birth: but he was of Magdalen and so not very likely to dedicate his first work to the head of another college. The collocation of this work and another translation of Mornay (1612 M) in a Bodleian volume suggest the possibility of the same person being translator of both.

13. Powell, Gabriel. “Prodromus. A Logical Resolution of the first Chapter of the Epist. of St. Paul to the Rom. Lond. 1600. Ox. 1602. oc.... Printed there again in Lat. 1615. oct. Theological and Scholastical Positions concerning Usury.—Pr. with Prodromus.”

So in Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 25, perhaps dubious.

14. Prayer, book of Common. LIBER | PRECVM | PVBLICARVM | IN VSVM ECCLE-|siæ Chathedralis Chri-|sti Oxon. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 11: 1615: (eights) 16^o: pp. [40] + 240 + [16]: p. 11 beg. filiæ Sion, 111 12. Nam liberabit: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–40) Matutinæ: preces, Vespertinæ preces, Letania, not in full: 1–240, the Psalms, in Latin: (1–6) Special prayers, “Pro officio totius Ecclesiæ in Communi,” “Pro Rege,” “Tempore Pestilentiæ,” “Pro docilitate,” “Gratiæ. Ante cibum” and “Post cibum”: (7) the versicle and response still used at Ch. Ch. after the Anthem, a prayer for the King and a commemoration of Henry viii, founder of Ch. Ch., all in Latin: (9–16) Psalms 43, 114, 117, 119 (part), 133, 150, in Latin rhyming verse, perhaps a separate piece of printing.

See 1639 P, 1660, 1676, 1689, 1726, all which editions differ in the details of contents, and the 1639 ed. is entitled “Liber Psalmorum et precum ...” It may be noted that the signatures and paging constitute the Psalms a separate book, whereas the Stationers’ Company had obtained in 1603 a monopoly of printing the Psalms, confirmed in 1615.

Very rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 626. See 1618 S (2nd. ed., reprinted in Sanderson’s Works, vol. 6), 1631 S (3rd), 1640 S (4th), 1657 (5th), 1664 (6th), (7th), 1672 (8th), 1680 (9th), no date (10th, according to dr. Jacobson, Sanderson’s editor), and 1707, 1741, 1841, 1854 (in Sanderson’s works, Oxf. 1854, vol. 6). Cf. 1602 S. The Admonitio declares that the Appendixes are not ready and must be omitted. There is no clue to the author in the book. The only copy I have seen (in Queen’s College Library, Oxford) has the Appendixes of the second edition bound with it, so possibly they were printed in time to be issued with some copies.

2. Bailey, Walter. TWO | TREATISES | CONCERNING | the Preseruation of | Eie/sight. | The first written by Do-|ctor Baily sometimes of Ox-|ford: the other collected | out of those two famous | Physicions Fernelivs | and Riolanvs. | [device.]

Impr. 34: 1616: (eights) 12^o: pp. [8] + 64: p. 11 beg. yeeld into: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (3) title: (5–7) “To the Reader,” a preface by I[ohn] B[arnes]: 1–24, “A breefe Treatise concerning the preseruation of the eye sight”: 25–62, “A Treatise of the principall diseases of the eyes, gathered out of Fernelius and Iohn Riolamus Doctors of Phisicke.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., i. 586 and 1602 B, for the first treatise. Johannes Fernelius and Johannes Riolanus the elder, both French physicians, died in 1558 and 1609 respectively, but neither wrote a special treatise on eyesight. The preface is no doubt by John Barnes and alludes to the worth and undeserved obscurity of Bailey’s work. The whole book with the possible exception of the titlepage, was printed in London, the woodcuts being quite unknown at Oxford. Even the arms of the University on the titlepage are re-cut on wood. The first treatise is only a reprint, Dr. Bailey having died in 1592, and the whole book, preface and all, was reprinted at London in 1626.

6: (6–8) list of chapters in bk. 4: 453–645, the work, bk. 4: (1) “Errata ... & prætermissa ...”.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 327, the biography in which appears to be largely founded on the preface to this book. The first edition of bks. 1–3 is Heidelberg 1612, the preface dated 1609. There is a reissue of the sheets of the present edition (Errata and all) “Londini, apud Johannem Billium. Anno 1617,” the titlepage alone being newly printed and the old one torn off. The 4th and 5th books were published at Leyden in 1622, and all reprinted in the 9th volume of the Critici Sacri (Lond. 1660).

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 52, and 1613 G note. The author was chaplain to the bp. of Bath and Wells. The Moses et Aaron of the same author (Lond. 1625 and often) covers some of the same ground, but is a distinct work and in English.

Very rare. This book is questions and answers on almost every subject concerned with man’s body and mind. Not a line of it was printed at Oxford, the woodcuts and type differ from Oxford ones, and even the device, which is like the smaller Oxford Arms of the University, is from a different block. The British Museum catalogue supplies the author’s name.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 523. The first edition seems to be unrecorded. There are London editions of 1617, 1635, and 1650: and Oxf. 1673. Some edition of this book was entered at Stationers’ Hall by John Barnes on 14 Nov. 1616, and another by William Arundel, by John Barnes’s consent on 29 Mar. 1617.

This Life of the founder of All Souls contains some solid historical matter, with a few documents. Some copies want the Errata.

For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 283. This is the first known Oxford edition: see 1613 S., 1614 S., 1618 S., 1627 S., 1633 S., 1639 S., 1684. There is also a London ed. of 1621.

Very rare: for the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 633. Dr. Bliss in his copy of Angelus, now in the Bodleian, suggests that this edition was worked off without the Greek when Angelus betook himself to travel about the country. It is a reprint almost literatim of 1617 A. Angelus was in Oxford, according to Dr. Bliss, from Whitsuntide 1610 to about Easter 1618, and died 1 Feb. 1638
9. The second woodcut is a new and rather more elaborate one than in the 1617 issue, but not more intelligible, and is enclosed in an oval frame: the first (on sign. A 4^r) is unchanged.

This is a new edition of 1605 J, arranged in one alphabetical order of authors’ names. The Proeomium contains much information about the Library.

Other editions are Lond. 1660 (7th), 1676 (8th), 1800 (9th),      (10th), 1806 (11th), 1845, 188-, as well as epitomes. This celebrated work is replete with erudition, humour, and acuteness. The recondite sources of the numberless quotations are perhaps only to be found in the Bodleian, to which Burton bequeathed his printed books, of which a catalogue is among the Bodleian MSS. This first edition, which is anonymous except for one signature on p. (7) of the Conclusion, is accounted rare, but copies not infrequently appear for sale. Each successive edition during the author’s lifetime (he died in Jan. 1639
40) shows alterations.
