(1) title: (3–5) dedication by “Euphormio” to James i: (6–10) “Clavis, nomina ignota ... exponens”: 1–156, part 1, as above: 157–310, part 2, dedicated to lord Salisbury: 311–357, part 3, dedicated to Charles Emmanuel I duke of Savoy, dated London, 1 Sept. 1610: 358–553, part 4, dedicated to Louis xiii: 554–767, part 5, “Alitophili Veritatis Lachrymæ, sive Euphormionis Lusinini Continuatio”, dedicated to Henry of Bourbon the Dauphin: 769–782, “Series patefacti divinitus parricidii, ... in ...

For John Barclay (d. 1621) see the Dict. of National Biography, and for the bibliography of this work Jules Dukas’s book. Part 1 was first issued in 1603, part 2 in 1607, part 3 in 1611, part 4 in 1614, part 5 in 1625. The author is satirical on Jesuits and Puritans alike, as well as on individuals.

3. ——. IOANNIS | BARCLAII | ARGENIS. | Editio Novissima. | CVM CLAVE, HOC | est: nominum propriorum eluci-|tione hactenus nondum | edita. | [device.]

Impr. 144: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [30] + 705 + [9]: p. 11 beg. sæva consilia, 601 sedente, regiam: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) Epistola dedicatoria to Louis xiii, dated Rome 1 July 1621: (9) a sentence: (10–29) “Discursus de autore Scripti, & judicium de nominibus Argenidæis”, head line “Discursus in Argenidem”: 1–676, the work in five books: 677–705, “Discursus ... [headline “Clavis”] in Argenidem ...”: (1–2) “Tabula nominum fictorum ...”: (3–9) “Index ...”.

See last item. The Argenis, which like the Satyricon is a political satire, was written and first published in 1621. The first discursus must have been rather out of date in this edition, for it suggests that the satire was written by William Barclay, father of the author. Argenis is a female character in the book, apparently representing the hope of the house of Valois.

This book was printed in London by John Norton jun. (1633–39) for Francis Bowman in Oxford, and does not appear to have been entered in the Stationers’ Hall Register. The frontispiece contains a woodcut representing a Usurer seated at his table, a small fiend behind his head, and on a label “I say I will haue all | both Vse & principall.” On the reader’s right are two pigs, one alive, one dead, with suitable labels. The size of the woodcut is 45

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 209, and 1609 B, of which this is an enlarged edition: the preface is that of the 1623 edition. The peculiar spelling and type are part of Butler’s system as elaborated in his English Grammar (see 1633 B). There are a few woodcuts, and music at pp. 78–81.

For the editor (d. 1608) see Wood’s Fasti Oxon., ed. Bliss, i. 249. The author, a lawyer educated at Cambridge, died in 1597. The first edition, of which this is a reprint slightly different in arrangement, was published at London in 1604, fol.: the 3rd at the Hague in 1661: the 4th at Oxford in 1684, fol. These tables exhibit the whole status and administration of the Church of England in a synoptic form. The words underlined in the above title are in red ink, as well as Oxoniæ, and anno salutis M.DC.XXIV. in the imprint. The book is peculiar in form. The 1604 and 1684 editions may be called ordinary folios in shape: this one is made up of folio sheets (each containing two folio leaves) folded once and bound oblong, the intention being that the binder should cut through the line of folding at foot and bind the book as if of quarto size, each oblong leaf thus bound being again awkwardly folded once so as to lie within an ordinary quarto binding. In the present edition the original 16 tables are arranged to form 28, and are printed on one side of the leaf only.

17. ——. CORPVS | STATUTORUM | VNIVERSITATIS | OXON. | SIVE | PANDECTES CONSTITVTIONVM | ACADEMICARVM, E LIBRIS PVBLICIS | ET REGESTIS VNIVERSITATIS | CONSARCINATVS. | [two lines, then device.]

Impr. 60a: 1634: fol: pp. [264], signn. ( ), §, ¶, ¶¶, ¶¶¶, A-Z, Aa-Kk, a-z, aa-ee²: sign. B1^r beg. § 4. De officio, b1^r eisdem terminis: Double (Small) Pica Roman. Contents:—sign.

This is the early form of the Laudian Statutes. Its history may be read in Wood’s History of the University or in Griffith’s and Shadwell’s edition of the later (1636) form, published in 1888. Briefly, certain Delegates, especially dr. Zouch and Bryan Twyne (who wrote the preface), completed their work, and the University sent up the Corpus to the Chancellor, archbp. Laud. in Aug. 1633. He altered it and had it printed, and in July 1634 declared that the Corpus thus printed (the present work) should be the statutes under which the University should be governed for a year, Mich. 1634–Mich. 1635. Finally in June 1636 the full and authentic code was formally approved, and additions from it were entered in the copies of the 1634 edition, the code not being printed as a whole or precisely until 1888. In 1768 a new edition was printed with certain changes and additions, and the 1768 edition is still in progress, the successive statutes being still connected by paging with that issue.

A large part of the edition is on parchment, being presented in that form to the King, the chancellor of the University, each College, the Halls, and the Proctors. Blank spaces are left in many places for additions. Large paper copies are also found. For Synopsises of the statutes, see 1635 O, 1638 O.

Burgundus addressed to Puteanus.

A satire on the gluttony and other luxurious vices of the age, in the guise of a dream of what takes place among the utopian Cimmerii. The first edition was issued at Louvain in 1611: this may be the second in Latin. Puteanus died in 1646, having lived during most of his life at Louvain.

M.DC.XIV”: (20–23) “Animaduersio”, including some errata: (24–27) complimentary pieces: (28) a quotation: 1–143, the work, consisting of a “Præfatiuncula” and 6 books: 144, explanation introducing the following piece: 145–150, “Irruptio Cimbrorum in Italiam, descripta a Floro lib. iii.”: 151, note introducing the following piece: 152–170, “Additiuncula ex And. Alciati De formula R. Imperii libello”: 171–2, dedication of the Chronology to Floritius: 173–192, “Chronologia Insubrica”: (1–31) “Index rerum”.

This work describes the irruptions of the Barbarians into Italy till the year 973: the Insubrians lived in the district round Milan. The history seems to have been first issued in 1614, but Puteanus was Professor at Milan only from 1601 to 1606.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 205, for the editor and book. The first edition was issued at London in 1607: the present one was edited by dr. John Gregory, who has added many notes and the index, the author having died in 1628
9 or 1629
30. The title in the copies seen (one on large paper given by the author) has been sewn or pasted in separately, an original titlepage having been torn out. Perhaps this was in order to secure proper printing in red ink, for the words underlined in the title above are in red ink, as are also in the imprint the words Oxford, University: 1634., and Cum Privilegio. The next editions were issued at Oxford in 1662 and 1675 or 1676. This is the first Oxford book in which I have noticed Anglo-Saxon type (Pica, pp. 184, 193, in the notes).

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, ii. 676. This is an alphabetical index of English words and phrases occurring in the 1058 sections found in Comenius’s Gate of Tongues, as edited for the second time in Latin, English and French, by John Anchoran in 1633 (London). Earlier editions of Comenius’s celebrated work were published at Leutschau in 1631 (first edition), then at Leipzig (2nd edition) in 1632 (both as Janua linguarum), and (as Porta linguarum trilinguis) Anchoran’s editions, Lond. 1631, and 1632: the 3rd and 4th London Anchoran editions 1637 and 1639 or 1640 reprint Saltonstall’s index, but it is noticeable that Saltonstall’s five short Latin introductory poems contain at least 18 false quantities, and that he was a commoner of Queen’s college without ever matriculating or taking his degree. See 1633 G.

Reissued at Oxford in 1658. The first edition appeared in two volumes at Ingolstadt in 1618, the year of the death of the author, who was a Pole by birth. The subject is treated in scholastic style by quaestiones.

S.”: (9–14) “The author’s Epistle dedicatory to the Lady Anne of Rohan, ...”, signed “Peter Du Moulin”: 1–93, the work.

For the first work see 1612 S, of which this is a simple reprint. Twenty-seven Richard Smiths took their degree at Oxford between 1550 and 1609, and the author of this book has not yet been identified among them.

The second work, which is necessarily linked to the first by the signatures, though not covered by the titlepage, is a reprint of 1609 D. No doubt the reprinter of these works thought the two R. S.s identical, but they are in all probability not, the translator of Molinaeus being Robert Stafford.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 511: the author was principal of St. Alban hall and, as the title indicates, Juris Civilis Professor Regius. Wood’s reference to a 1636 8^o edition of this book may be due to a confusion between it and the Elementa Jurisprudentiae by the same author.

Contents of the second Booke ...”: 1–286, the second book: (1–2) not seen. There should be four tables as in the 1625 edition, and there are numerous woodcut diagrams in the text.

See Wood’s Ath Oxon., ed. Bliss, ii. 422, and 1625 C. The signatures of the two parts are in a certain sense independent, but indicate essential connexion.

3. Chaucer, Geoffrey. AMORVM | TROILI | ET | CRESEIDÆ | Libri duo priores | Anglico-Latini. | [woodcut.]

Impr. 95 a: 1635: sm. 4^o: pp. [28] + 105 + [8] + 160 [“159”] + [1]: p. 11 beg. 13. Great rumor, and 15. With that they: English Roman italic and Pica English. Contents:—p. (1) title, within arched border: (3–6) dedication to Patricius Junius (Patrick Young) the King’s librarian, by sir Francis Kinaston: (7–8) not seen, probably blank: (9–12) “Candido Lectori Franciscus Kinaston ...”, dated “Ex Aulâ Albâ Regiâ [Whitehall] xiii Calendarum Decembris, ... CIↃ D cxxxiiii”: (13–28) complimentary Latin and English poems: 2–105, the first book, Latin on the verso of each leaf, English on the recto: (2–7) dedication to John Rouse, Bodley’s librarian, by Kinaston: 1–159 (“21” repeated after “24”), the second book.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 38. The Latin translation is in a singular rhythmical rhyming metre, essentially decasyllabic iambics, but with an extra unaccented syllable at end, and with certain licences in revolving a long syllable into two short. The rhymes are ababbcc. The first two lines for example are “Dolorem Troili duplicem narrare | Qui Priami Regis Trojæ fuit gnatus.” This appears to be by far the earliest translation of any part of Chaucer into another language. Part of a commentary on the piece by sir F. Kinaston was printed in 1796. The English part is in black-letter, the Latin in italic Roman. One of the complimentary poems is in would-be Chaucerian style. The collation of this book is difficult: but probably it is this:—signn. A, †, *⁴, **², ( )¹, B-Z, Aa-Nn⁴: †1-**² is matter foisted in, which prevented the true fourth leaf of sign. A from forming, as it should, the first leaf of the Latin translation (pp. 1–2 of the 1st book). Accordingly one of two plans was adopted: either the 4th leaf of sign. A was torn off, and a new 4th leaf inserted where the translation begins (which seems to have been usually done, and which gives the collation above, assuming the existence at one time of an A4): or the torn-off fourth leaf was itself awkwardly pasted on to sign. 2**.

Paul and S.

See Wood’s Fasti Oxon., ed. Bliss, i. 287, where London is probably an error for Oxford: and 1633 D. This is a new set of treatises by Downe. The introduction to the first piece gives an amusing account of the controversy with Baxter.

For the author see Wood’s Fasti Oxon., ed. Bliss, i. 255: see 1636 D. The words underlined in the above title are in red ink, as well as “Oxford,” and “William Webb.” in the imprint. A folded leaf should follow the introductory matter containing “The Table” of the 26 sections. The signatures show that pp. 1–24, 25–76 in the second part are genuine additions, but genuinely part of the book.

6. ——. THE CHRISTIANS FREEDOME | [&c., precisely as the preceding article, except that “THE SECOND EDITION” is added as a new line after “Derry.”]

Impr. &c., precisely as the preceding article.

A simple reissue of the sheets of the first edition, room for the additional words on the title being found by slightly depressing the woodcuts. Perhaps the folded “table” was not issued with the second edition. Some copies have the date 1636.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 256, and 1627 H. The engraved title is identical with that of 1630 H, with the date altered. Books 5–6 appear in this edition for the first time, the former being chiefly directed against bp. Goodman’s Fall of man (Lond. 1616) as reasserted at greater length in about 1630 by the author, whose arguments are printed in the course of this book.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 438. The signatures would suggest that the Sermon on 1 Cor. i. 12 was the Act-Sermon, but all copies seem to be bound as above, and the prefixing of the Act Sermon may have been an after-thought. There is nothing in the sermons themselves to settle the point!

11. Legh, Edward. SELECTED | AND | CHOICE | OBSERVATIONS | concerning the | TWELVE FIRST | CÆSARS | EMPEROVRS of | ROME. | [line] | By Edward Legh Master | of Arts of Magdalen Hall | in Oxford. | [line.]

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 927, where other editions are mentioned, some with extended range of subject. The words underlined in the above title are printed in red, as well as “Oxford” and “William Webb.” in the imprint. The signatures of the prefatory matter are peculiar: as four blank leaves precede the title, these were neglected and the leaf following the title bears *2 instead of *6, no others having any printed signature.

12. Montague, bp. Richard. APPARATVS | AD ORIGINES | ECCLESIASTICAS· | COLLECTORE | [line] | R. Montacvtio. | [line, then device.]

Impr. 151: 1635: (fours) la. 8^o: pp. [30] + 393 + [11]: p. 11 beg. sponsum est, 301 vetus Anna: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within border and double lines: (3) dedication to the memory of James i: (5–29) “Præfatio”: 1–393, the work, in 11 Apparatuses: (1) “Errata”, a long list: (2–11) “Index”.

The author, a Cambridge man, though at this time bp. of Chichester (1628–38), signs the dedication as “R. M. humillimus Ecclesiæ Cicestrensis Minister”. This work discusses pre-Christian antiquities, as preparations (apparatus) to the Life of Christ which is the subject of the same author’s Origines Ecclesiasticæ (tom. i, 2 parts, Lond. 1636, 1640). The underlined words in the above title are printed in red, as well as “Oxoniæ,” in the imprint. A copy was presented by the author to Henry Spelman on 4 Sept. 1635.

13. *†Oxford, University. ... Encyclopædia

No imprint, but Oxford (?), 1635 (?): (one) la. 4^o. Contents:—p. (1) the Encyclopædia.

This is a fine sheet, engraved by “T. Cecill” on metal, 163
16 × 161
16 in. In the upper part there is a dedication of “hæc Encyclopædia et Synopsis Statutorum” to archbp. Laud. A large series of concentric circular spaces fill the centre, each divided into a left hand and right hand half:—counting from the centre (a sun), (1) days of the week, (2) hours of the day, (3) subjects, (4) explanation of the next circle, (5) List of proper audience and books for each lecture: (6) explanation of the next circle, (7) lists of fines for absent professors and absent audience: in the four corners are notes, one of which supplies another title for the sheet, namely “Cyclus Prælectorum ... ex Corpore Statutorum depromptus et delineatus ...”. Some copies (issued in 1638, see below) have a small printed label “Iovis” pasted over “Martis”, or else the plate itself altered to “Iovis”, in the note that Easter Term ends on the Tuesday before Pentecost, and a longer slip pasted at the foot containing a note about the teaching of Arabic and Medicine.

The chart is usually found folded and pasted in the 1638 edition of the abridged Statutes: but a copy in the University Archives is pasted between the two columns of the 1635 Synopsis Statutorum, which in combination with the dedication quoted above suggests that it was first issued in 1635, a natural year for it, when the interest in the new Code of Statutes was fresh. There is nothing to suggest that it was printed away from Oxford. The device in the title is a well-made representation of the University arms with the motto “Sapientiæ et felicitatis”.

Thomas Crossfield of Queen’s certainly edited the 1638 Statuta selecta, and may have issued the Synopsis (which is in his style), and possibly therefore the Encyclopædia. At any rate he took the plate of the Encyclopædia and used it in 1638. It is in his own copy of the Statuta selecta that the altered plate is found (see above); and the note about Arabic and Medicine is there in his own handwriting preceded by a ☛, just as in the printed slip.

14. ——. SYNOPSIS SEV EPITOME STATVTORVM, | Eorum præsertim, quæ Iuventuti Academ. Oxon: maximè | expedit pro Doctrinâ & Moribus habere cognita. |

Impr. 153: 1635: (one) folio: pp [2]: 2nd col. beg. Tempus ad Gradus: Long Primer Roman. Contents:—p. (1) the Synopsis, in two columns.

These are extracts from the newly printed Corpus Statutorum, for the use of junior members of the University, but the fuller edition in book form first issued in 1638 (which see,) was taken as the model for all succeeding issues. The title heads the first column, and the colophon ends the 2nd. See the preceding article, for possible authorship.

Persius. The statement by Wood (Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 523) that there is a 1635 Oxford edition of Barten Holyday’s translation of Persius, which deceived Brüggemann, is erroneous: the edition referred to was printed at London.

See 1620 J. This is Rouse’s new edition of the little Appendix to the 1620 edition of the Catalogue. The MSS. are still mixed with the printed books. The preface shows that Verneuil’s book, see below in this year, could be regarded as a part of this work, though formally distinct. Rouse’s name does not occur, but is necessarily inferred from the preface.

The preface mentions a pirated edition of this book, made without the knowledge of the authorities of the Library, but no copy seems to be known. See Rouse, above in this year.

(1) title, within double lines: (3–6) dedication to prince (afterwards king) Charles, from the 1615 ed.: (7–12) a Latin poem in Charles’s honour, beg. “Fama per attonitas”: 1–33, the poems, bk. 1: 34, “Ad benevolum Lectorem”: 35, a title:—“Ioannis | BARCLAII | POEMATVM | liber II. | [two lines, then woodcut, then two lines]”, with impr. 87a: 37–66, the poems, bk. 2: 67–97 “Tumulus ... Gustavi Adolphi ...” a poem, by C. B.: 98–100, five short Latin poems, signed at end “H. G.”

This appears to be a reprint of the 1615 (London) edition, with the addition of the poem on pp. 64–100. The signatures indicate that pp. 67-end are an addition to the original book, but a catchword on p. 66 shows that the two parts are not independent. Only these two (separate) editions of Barclay’s Poems were published: the author died in 1621.

3. Bushell, Thomas. THE | SEVERALL | SPEECHES AND | Songs, at the presentment of | M^r Bvshells Rock | TO THE | QVEENES | Most Excellent Majesty. | Aug. 23. 1636. | HER HIGHNESSE | being Gratiously Pleased to | Honour the said Rock, not | only with Her | Royall Presence; | BVT | COMMANDED THE SAME | to be called after her owne | Princely name | HENRETTA. | [line.]

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 1010, where will be found an interesting account of Bushell’s discovery of a peculiar rock at Enstone near Oxford, and of the ceremonies with which it was presented to the Queen. The speeches and songs, presented by a hermit, the author himself, Echo, &c., were set to music by Simon Ive (see sign. B2^r).

Contents:—(1–2) not seen: (3) engraved title, inserted: (5–10) Epistle dedicatory to George marquis of Buckingham, signed “Philanactophil”: (11–19), “To the Reader”: (20–24) “The preface of Lucius Florus”: (25–26) not seen: 1–336, the Histories: 336 “The end of the foure Bookes of the Roman Histories ... translated into English by E.M.B. Soli Deo gloria”.

The translator of this work, which first appeared in English at London in 1618, was Edmund (Maria) Bolton. The present edition was printed in London but published at Oxford, and the title is the engraved one of 1618, by Simon Pass, displaying in the upper centre a Roman, in the lower centre the title, an eagle at top, and symbols and letterpress about, and altered in the imprint only. The collation assumes that a sheet of ten leaves could not be printed and that a blank leaf is needed before and after the prefatory matter: the title is on an inserted leaf. This edition was issued after the translator’s death, and seems not to be entered in the London Stationers Company’s Registers.
