Impr. 18: 1605: sm. 4o: pp. [8] + “655” (really 651) + [67]: p. 11 beg. A. 11. 1. Chron., 111 P. 1. 1. Philon., p. 501 V ¶ Hug. de: English Roman. Contents:—p.

Anno. 1605.”: 1–162, catalogue of “Libri Theologici”: 163–179, “Catalogus Expositorum S. Scripturæ iuxta ordinem Voluminum vtriusque Testamenti dispositus”: 180, “Ad Lectorem”: 181–218, “Libri Medici”: 219–274, “Libri Iuris”: 275–415, “Libri Artium”: 417–425, “Interpretes librorum Aristotelis”: 427–640, “Appendix” to each of the four faculties: 641–646, “Appendix ad Expositores S Scripturæ”: 646–648, “Appendix ad Interpretes Lib.

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii 466. and 1620. J. The catalogue includes also the MSS. then in the Library. In the dedication the “Bibliotheca Bodleiana” is stated to be not yet four years old, having been formally opened on 8 Nov. 1602. The preface gives an interesting account of the early history of the Library. In the pagination a leaf is omitted after p. 426, but “457” follows “450”: the total number of pages is no doubt 726 (signn. ¶ A-Y4 Z2, Aa-Zz, Aaa-Zzz, Aaaa-Xxxx4 ( )1), so that Upcott (English Topography, iii. p. 1122, Lond. 1818) is wrong. Other editions of the complete catalogue of Bodleian printed books were issued at Oxford in 1620, 1674, 1738 and 1843, and one of the MSS. in 1697.
5. King, John, bp. of London. ARTICLES MINISTRED | IN THE VISITATION OF | THE RIGHT WORSHIPFVL MAI-|ster Iohn King, Doctor of divinitie, Arch-|deacon of Nottingham, in the yeare of | our Lord God. 1605. | [device.]

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. i. 758. These two treatises on the moral state of England are printed without list of contents, index or even division into paragraphs. No one but the author and compositor can have ever read them, and the former had been insane, though according to Wood he recovered his powers.
7. Oxford, Christ Church. MVSA HOSPITALIS | ECCLESIÆ CHRISTI | OXON. | Jn adventum Fælicissimum Sereniss. Iacobi | Regis, Annæ Reginæ, & Henrici Prin-|cipis ad eandem Ecclesiam. | [device.]

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. i. 754, Fasti Oxon. i. 366. The poems, which are all except one (Greek) in Latin, are by New College men and edited by William Kingsmill of New College, a nephew of Warcop, who was himself at Ch. Ch. The device on the titlepage bears the arms of New College, between W. W. (William of Wykeham).

Rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon. ii. 472. The word “Latin” on the title seems to be a mistake for “French,” see 1604. S, to which this is a sort of appendix.
10. Sanford, John. A | GRAMMER | OR INTRODVCTION | TO THE ITALIAN | TONGVE. | §§§ | [motto, then woodcuts.]

Very rare. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon.> ii. 472. The grammar includes a short syntax.
11. *Thornborough, John, bp. of Bristol. THE IOIE-|FVLL AND BLESSED REV-|niting the two mighty & famous King⸗|domes, England & Scotland into their an-|cient name of great Brittaine. | By John Bristoll. | [device.]

The preface alludes to “my two bookes,” the other being “A discourse plainely proving the euident vtilitie and vrgent necessitie of the ... Vnion of ... England and Scotland ...” (Lond., 1604, sm. 4o), which latter was the subject of a remonstrance of the House of Commons to the House of Lords, 26 May 1604, ending in an apology on the part of the author. There is nothing but Wood’s express statement (Ath. Oxon. iii. 5) to settle whether this book was published at the close of 1604 or in 1605: so that statement has been accepted. Otherwise it would seem that the two books were not long separated in point of time. Both were reprinted at London in 1641.
