References to a Compendium quaestiuncularum de luce et lumine, Oxford 1510, will be found in Bagford (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 22v, Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, p. 104), no doubt from the Catalogus librorum MSSrum Angliæ et Hiberniæ (Oxf. 1697, fol.), tom. 2, p. 280, col. 1, among the printed books of John Moore bp. of Norwich. An error for 1518.
1511.
The 1481 Alexander de Hales appears in Bagford (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 23, Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, p. 104) as of 1511, printed at Oxford.
1512.
“Walterus Burleius, super libros Posteriorum. 1512. 4o.” So in Cotton’s Typ. Gaz., 2nd ser., p. 169, and in a longer form in Herbert’s Ames iii. 1396, and Panzer vii. p. 494, quoting Brüggemann i. 172. The source of the mistake is easily found in the colophon of 1517. B, a “v” having been overlooked. The error is repeated in the Bookworm (1868) p. 126.
Before 1519.
According to Cotton (Typ. Gaz., 2nd ser., p. 169) an edition of “Jo. Duns Scotus, Scriptum Oxoniense super primum Sententiarum” (Paris 1519) professes to be “impressa juxta editionem Oxoniensem.” This cannot be correct, unless editio refers only to some traditional method of exposition or arrangement at Oxford.
About 1519.
“The following book printed at the charge of Cardinal Wolsey, with the King’s arms on one side, and the cardinal’s on the other; though it has neither date nor printer’s name, was probably performed about this time [1519] at this place [Oxford].” ‘Libellus prim. epistol. M. Tullii Cicer. Decus Oxoniensium, finitum universitate Oxoniensi. Quarto.’ So in Herbert’s Ames, iii. 1398, and substantially in Bagford’s account (Brit. Mus. MS. Harl. 5901, fol. 24v, Bodl. MS. Rawl. D. 375, fol. 103): see Cotton’s Typ. Gaz., 2nd ser., p. 169. Clearly a blunder. The book which is said to be at Trinity College, Dublin, could not be found there in 1885.
