1627.

1. Felix, Marcus Minucius. M. MINVCII | FELICIS | OCTAVIVS. | [woodcuts.]

Impr. 74: 1627: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [6] + 129 + [9]: p. 11 beg. bere, quàm in, 111 dicimus; non: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–5) “Typographus lectori”: (6) quotation from Lactantius about Minucius Felix: 1–129, the work: (2) “Errata”.

See 1631 F, 1636 F, 1662, 1678. The printer says that he has cleared this edition from the errors of Froben’s. I have seen a copy in which the type of pages 12 and 13 has changed places. The work is an apology for Christianity.

Impr. 53: 1627: sm. 4^o: pp. [2] + 17 + [1] + 18 + [2]: p. 11 beg. quantulùm theologicæ: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: 1–17, the oration: (1) half title to the Concio: 1–18, the sermon on Col. ii. 8.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 243. The (inaugural) oration contains some details about Fell’s predecessor in the professorship, dr. Seb. Benefield: the two pieces would seem to have been delivered in 1626 and 1626
7.

Impr. 58: 1627: (fours) fol.: pp. [36] + 473 + [5]: p. 11 beg. Yet Phillip, 111 rable to their: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title: (3–7) dedication to the University of Oxford, signed “G. H.”: (9–19) “the Preface”: (20) “Errata”: (21–34) “The Contents ...”: (35) “of the value of the Roman sesterce ...”: (36) quotation from Boethius, with English translation: 1–473, the work: (2–5) “A Revise,” corrections of a few passages, &c.

The author was George Hakewill. See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 256, where “Lond.” is a mistake for “Oxford”: for other edd. see 1630 H, 1635 H.

Impr. 71: 1627: (eights) sm. 4^o: pp. [20] + folded leaf + 807 + [5]: p. 11 beg. 1. First then, 501 Scotland is by: Pica Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title, within an arched border; (3–4) dedication to prince Charles: (5–6) “To the Reader” from the second ed.: (7–8) “To my brother the Author”, a poem by Edw. Heylyn: (9–12) “A Table of the principall Countries ...”: (13–14) “A table of the antient ... nations ...”: (15–19) “A table of the most principall things ...”: (19) “... Forraine coynes ...”: 1–807, (1–2), the work: (3) “Errata”. Before p. 7 should come a folded leaf, as in the 2nd ed. (1625).

See 1621 H, Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 557. In the copy seen on p. (2) at the end of the book, in the original printing of the English lines beginning “But whither goeth”, l. 6 (beg. “Into safe”) is before l. 4, making nonsense: and a corrected reprint of the whole 12 lines is pasted over the faulty original.

T. P.”

Rare, see 1589 R. Of bp. Rider’s double lexicon the first part at least (English-Latin) was published at Oxford in 1589. In 1606 Francis Holyoke supplied a Latin-English part (based on Rider’s Index) and published both at London. Subsequent edd. of the two parts together are Lond. 1617, Lond. 1626 (ed. N. Gray), the present one Oxf. 1627, Lond. 1633 (called the 4th), Lond. 1640 (called the 5th), Lond. 1649, Lond. 1659, (acc. to Bohn’s Lowndes, s.v. Rider, where however since 1637 is an error for 1627, this 1659 may be one for 1649), and, edited by Thomas Holyoke son of Francis, Lond. 1677.

Impr. 69: 1627: (twelves) 16^o: pp. [144], signn. *, A-L¹²: sign. B 1^r beg. In Biblia: Pica Roman.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 467. The intention of the book is the reverse of the aim of the Indices Expurgatorii, namely to give a select list of recommended books. Those which were in the Bodleian are marked with a star.

Impr. 60: 1627: (eights) 16^o: pp. [34], signn. A-B⁸C²: sign. B 1^r beg. mentariorum Rabbinnicorum: English Roman. Contents:—sign.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 445. The oration is of considerable interest for the history of Oriental studies at Oxford. It claims to be the first on the subject at Oxford, quotes the decree of the Council of Vienne 1311–12 that there ought to be instruction in Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldee at Oxford, and urges the fitness of the study in Oxford. Pasor was lecturer on Arabic only from 1626 to 1629. Some Arabic MSS. in the Bodleian are mentioned on sign. B7^r and B7^v.

8. Prideaux, dr. John. In the Catalogus ... librorum ... Richardi Davis bibliopolæ, pars quarta (Lond. 1692, 4^o) p. 10, no. 183 is “Joan. Prideaux Lectiones novem, Oxon. 1627.” See 1626 P.

Impr. 70: 1627: (fours) fol.: pp. [4] + 18 + 67 + 37 + [1] + 14 + 13 + [1] + 50 + 23 + [1] + 11 + [1] + 74 + 26 + [2] + 11 + [1] + 68 + 29 + [1] + 64 + [2]: pp. 11 [bk. 1] beg. Di ocesse with, (bk. 6) Arcobriga, (bk. 10) Berry. Bounded, (bk. 11) Vindomana: English Roman. Contents:—p. (1) title; (3–4) dedication to the bp. of Lincoln: 1– ... 64, the treatise in 14 books separately paged.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 38. The first four books contain Great Britain. The signatures begin again with the 10th and with the 11th book, but every book is separately paged. The matter is a mixture of history and geography.

10. Smith, Samuel. Wood (Ath. Oxon., ii. 283) mentions an edition of the Aditus ad Logicam of this year: see 1617 S.

Impr. 72: 1627: sm. 4^o: pp. 32: p. 11 beg. argumentaque: English Roman. Contents:—p. 1, title: 2, “Ad Lectores Candidos”: 3–6, Latin letters between “Thom. Vicarsius” (“Gallager”, = of Cockfield) and John Goldsmith (“Gallinager” = of Henfield), and William Cox, canon of Chichester, one dated 7 Jan. 1622 or 1623: 7–32, the discourse, on Luke xii. 32.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ii. 443. The original treatise of Coelius Secundus Curio (an Italian, d. 1569) entitled “... De amplitudine beati regni Dei dialogi sive libri duo” was first published in 1554, and his contention that the number of the saved is greater than that of the lost is here refuted.

12. Wake, Isaac. Rex Platonicvs: | [&c. exactly as 1615 W, except that the colon in the first line is italic, not Roman, and “Quarta” for “Tertia”.]

See 1607 W. This fourth edition is a verbatim but not literatim reprint of the 3^rd ed. (1615).
