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.

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.

©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.

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.

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

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.

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

This is a new edition of 1605 J, arranged in one alphabetical order of
authors’ names. The _Proeomium_ contains much information about the
Library. The MSS. and printed books are treated alike in this
catalogue, each with its pressmark. Dr. James had resigned the office
of Librarian in May 1620 from illness. The Hebrew MSS. are not all
entered in the Catalogue, and “propter typorum defectum” are described
in Latin, not Hebrew type. A second edition of the Appendix was issued
in 1635. The expense of printing the volume was £112 10_s._, (Reg.

(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.

importance. Much Theology is introduced. The woodcut plate represents
the concord and discord of the four elements in various relations, in
a circular table.

See Wood’s ©Ath. Oxon.©, ii. 421, where _Lond._ is a misprint for
_Oxon._ The first edition was issued at Frankfort in 1621 “authore N.
C. Cosmopolitano,” with different prefatory matter, only two Decads,
and variations in text and arrangement. See 1636 C, 1637 C, 1675. Some
woodcuts of diagrams occur in the text.

Great Primer English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) dedication to lady
Briget countesse of Lincolne, signed “Elizabeth Lincolne”: (7–8) “To
the ... Reader,” signed “T. L.”, i. e. Thomas Lodge: 1–21, the work:
(2–3) not seen.
Rare. The object of this small treatise, “the first worke of” the
authoress “that ever came in Print,” is to persuade mothers to nurse
their own children. The author appears to dedicate it to her
daughter-in-law, not mother-in-law as Bliss states (Wood’s ©Ath.
Oxon.©, ii. 384 _n._). The authorship has been ascribed to Thomas
Lodge (Wood, as above), but there is every internal mark that he only
wrote the address to the Reader, and possibly revised the whole.
