Impr. as above, Oxford, 1481: la. 8^o, perhaps (eights) fol.: pp. [480], signn. a-f⁸, g⁶, h-s⁸, t-x⁶, y-z and A-H⁸: sign. b 1^r beg. vel non sit, B 1^r beg. vna natura. Contents:—signn. a 2^r-g 5^v, bk. 1, with short preface: h 1^r-y 7^v, bk. 2: z 1^r-H 8^r, bk 3.

The editio princeps et unica of the Latin Commentary on the De Anima (περὶ ψυχῆς) of Aristotle, made by Alexander de Hales (i.e. probably Hailes near Winchcombe) the doctor irrefragabilis (d. 1245), to be 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.

2. *†Latin Grammar. [A Latin Grammar in English with examples, only known from two leaves in the British Museum, signn. b 2 and (presumably) b 5: b 2 beg. “case As I muste”, ends “adyectyuys and voy”: b 5 beg. “Also when y haue”, ends “quem queris”. Date probably 1481: probably sm. 4^o (but in eights), the chain lines being across the page.]
