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.

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

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.

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.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 467. The intention of the book is the reverse of the aim of the Indices Expurgatorii, namely to give a select list of recommended books. Those which were in the Bodleian are marked with a star.

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. B7r and B7v.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.”

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.

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.

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 1r (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.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 456. This tract is generally found without any title page (signn. A—B4 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.
