“Appendix Statutorum ...”: bb1^r-ee2^v, “Statuta Aularia”.

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.

by Daniel Heinsius on the book: 1–185, the work: 186–190, Latin elegy

by Nic. 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.

the same, dated “Lovanii, in Arce, viii Kal. Septem. 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,

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.

principall Matters and Words ...”: (25) “Errata”.

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).

work, by Saltonstall: B1^r-F7^v, the work.

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.

imprint, but date only): (2–35) “Index rerum præcipuarum ...”.

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_.

signed “Ricard Smyth”: (15–16) “The Contents ...”: (17–20) “The

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.

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

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-Nn^4: †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**.

“Oxford,” and “William Webb.” in the imprint. A folded leaf should

follow the introductory matter containing “The Table” of the 26

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.
