Milone.]
[Oxford, about 1480]: 6^o: probably 60 pages, signn. a-e^6.
Contents:—pp. (probably 3–60) the oration.
Only known from fragments containing signn. b 3, b 4, e 3, e 4, in the
Bodleian Library at Oxford. It is still not absolutely certain that
this book was printed at Oxford. If it was, this, and not the Andria
of Terence printed by Pynson in 1497, was the first English edition of
any part of a classic author in the original language.
1481.
1. ¬Alexander¬ de Hales, the _doctor irrefragabilis_. [Sign. g 5^v:—]

distinguished from Alexander de Ales or Alesius. Of this book there
are two issues, the earlier with no border, the later with an
elaborate woodcut border, the first ever found in an English printed
book, surrounding the entire printed text of sign. a 2^r. There are
two similar issues of the Lathbury, 1482.

known from two leaves in the British Museum, signn. b 2 and (presumably)

signn. a-q^8(?). Contents:—signn. a-m, the work(?), n 1^r-q 8^v,
Vulgaria Terentii.
A Latin Grammar in Latin believed to be by John Anwykyll, of which
this edition is only known from fragments, but which was reprinted at
Deventer in 1489. The Vulgaria Terentii (sentences from Terence with
English translation) was sold as a separate part, and still exists
complete in itself. There are two issues of the Grammar, not at
present clearly distinguished.
2. *†¬Hampole¬, Richard Rolle of. [Sign. a 2^r:—] Explanationes
notabiles deuotissimi viri Ricardi | Hampole heremite sup¿er¿

tabula”: Dd 6^r-8^r, a table in Latin giving the heads of the parts of
each treatise, each group preceded by “Tractatus”: Dd 8^r “Ad lectores
carmen” and “Registrum cartarum”.
These nineteen logical treatises are strung together to form a
systematic work on Logic: at the end of the 17th, on sign. Bb 3^v, is
“Et sic finiuntur insolubilia swynishede.”, i. e. Roger Swineshede
(Suinesheved, Swincet &c.), but he was probably only the author of
that part. The last treatise is physical rather than logical.
