Extremely rare. Only known from a titlepage preserved in the Bodleian

is 6–9/16 in. × 3¾ in. The metal engraving is curious: see 1591. T.

bibliographers describe it as London, and the woodcut in the
dedication is not otherwise known to belong to Barnes. The titlepage

similar analysis of the Topica, Sophistici Elenchi (see 1598. P) and
Physica, and says that his method is derived from that of Ursinus. The
paging is very wild: the signatures are ¶, A-X^8 = 352 pages. See

ed. by the rev. D. S. Evans (©Llandidloes©, 1869, 8v^o), p. 71. This
is the first Welsh book printed at Oxford and the first occurrence of
Rhydychen (Oxenford) in Oxford imprints. The translator begs the
reader to excuse the absence of _y_ in some places before _n_ and _r_,
the printer’s stock being too small. For the same reason _dd_ is
usually _d’_ and _ll_ _l’_. If a word is here and there omitted it
should be remembered that the printing is done by Englishmen!

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, i. 687. The first address shows that for a
time the printer refused to produce the work, which is related to the
©Speculum© of 1585, for fear that it might be reprinted at once
elsewhere, and he suffer loss as in the case of the ©Sphæra Civitatis©
of 1588. See 1586. C. A presentation copy has red lines round the
page, on three sides double. This book is strictly the second part of

the book was certainly printed at Oxford, the woodcut on p. 5 being
