See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 467. This is closely connected with the Wycliff art., below: and on p. 60 marg. the other is said to be “printed with this Apologie”: the form of the signatures also indicates connexion. The Bodleian MSS. quoted seem to be MSS. Bodl. 288 and 647, perhaps with others.

8. Panke, John. THE FAL OF BABEL. | By the confusion of tongues, directly proving against the | Papists of this, and former ages; that a view of their wri-|tings, and bookes being taken, it cannot be discerned by any man | living, what they would say, or how be vnderstoode, in the | question of the sacrifice of the Masse, the Reall pre-|sence or transubstantiation; but in explaning | their mindes, they fall vpon such termes, | as the Protestants vse and allow. | FVRTHER | In the question of the Popes supremacy is shewed, how they | abuse an authority of the auncient father S^t. Cyprian, A Canon of | the 1. Niceene counsell, And the Ecclesiasticall historie of Socra-|tes, and Sozomen. And lastly is set downe a briefe of the suc-|cession of Popes in the sea of Rome for these 1600. yeeres | togither; what diversity there is in their accompt, what here-|sies, schismes, and intrusions there hath bin in that sea, | deliuered in opposition against their tables, where-|with now adaies they are very busie; and o-|ther things discovered against them. | By | Iohn Panke. | [motto, then woodcuts.]

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 511. The dedication implies that the book took four days to print (?), and claims to be the first from the University Press since the archbishop (Richard Bancroft) became Chancellor (23 Apr. 1608).

12. Prideaux, John. [The Tabulae ad Grammatica Græca, assigned by Wood (Ath. Oxon., iii. 267) to this date, is probably the 1607 edition, which see.]

Impr. 5: 1608: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [8] + 106 + [6]: p. 11 beg. non exhorter, 101 & in: Pica English. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–8) “Iohannes Rainoldus Academicis Oxoniensibus ...”, dated “è Colleg. Corp. Christ. Februar. 2:” 1–52, the first oration: 53–106, the second oration.

The only copy at present met with is one in Worcester College Library at Oxford, but there is no special reason why the book should be scarce.

Impr. 11: 1608: (eights) 16^o: pp. [48], signn. A-C⁸: sign. B 1^r beg. Flos regum: Long Primer Italic. Contents:—sign. A 1^r, title: A 1^v, dedication to the king, signed “I. S.”, i. e. John Sansbury: A 2^r-C 7^r, the work, the verso of every leaf being blank.

Rare and valuable. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 58, where some extracts are given. Each leaf bears an engraving of the arms of the University or a College, and a short Latin poem following. The title appears to indicate the struggle of king James and England against Italian wiles, the words being from Virg. Aen. i. 72, where the context bears a different meaning. The dedication shows that the poems were written in 1606. The arms are in some respects peculiar, and were probably engraved at Oxford.

Impr. 11: 1608: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 384 + [72]: p. 11 beg. perit quod nemo, 111 xitq;, sed etiàm: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–6) dedication to Robert Sackvill earl of Dorset, dated from Corpus Christi college, Oxford, 3 June 1608: 1–384, the work, in three books: (1–10) “Index rerum et verborum ...”: (11–21) “Catalogus authorum ... quibus Author ... vsus est”: (21) “Errata ...”: (23–54) “Miscellanea quædam de antiquis aulis et studentium collegiis ...”, according to parishes: (55–72) “Summorum Oxoniensis Academiæ Magistratuum [Chancellors, Vice-Chancellors, Proctors] ... catalogus.”

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 109 (where there is much about the fate of the MS., Twyne’s intentions, &c.) ii. 358. This is the first history of Oxford, but to some extent thrown into a controversial form, to prove the prior antiquity of Oxford to that of Cambridge. For a man of 28 it is, as Wood says, a wonderful performance. Almost all Twyne’s Oxford collections are still preserved in the University Archives and the Library of Corpus Christi college, Oxford. See 1620 T.

Impr. 11: 1608: (twelve) 16^o: pp. [24], sign. A¹2: sign. A 4^r beg. occasionis ratione: Pica English. Contents:—sign. A 2^r title: A 3^r-A 9^r, the oration: (A 1 and A 12 not seen).

An error for 1708.

Impr. 2: 1608: sm. 4^o: pp. [8] + 62 + [2]: p. 11 beg. thow shalt haue: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (2) “Faults escaped in the printing ...”: (3–8) Epistle dedicatorie to sir Thomas Flemynge, lord chief justice of England: signed “Tho: Iames,” “from the Publike Librarie in Oxford. Feb. 10. 1608”: 1–17, “A complaint of Iohn VVickliffe, exhibited to the King and Parliament”: 19–62, “A Treatise of Iohn VVickliffe against the orders of Friars”: (1–2) “An exposition of the hardest words,” a glossary.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 468. This is still the only printed edition of these two works of Wyclif, edited by dr. James. The usual titles of the treatises are “Four Articles” and “Objections of Freres.” This book is usually found with the James volume above, which is alluded to in the dedication. Dr. James does not specify the MSS. from which these treatises are printed, but MS. C.C.C. (Cambr.) 296 seems to have both, while MS. Bodley 647 only contains the latter of the two.
