For the author see Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, ii. 475, and 1630 P, where a reference to this, the 2nd ed., is accidentally omitted. This issue has four sermons and a slightly altered title.

Burgundus addressed to Puteanus.
A satire on the gluttony and other luxurious vices of the age, in the guise of a dream of what takes place among the utopian Cimmerii. The first edition was issued at Louvain in 1611: this may be the second in Latin. Puteanus died in 1646, having lived during most of his life at Louvain.

This work describes the irruptions of the Barbarians into Italy till the year 973: the Insubrians lived in the district round Milan. The history seems to have been first issued in 1614, but Puteanus was Professor at Milan only from 1601 to 1606.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., iii. 205, for the editor and book. The first edition was issued at London in 1607: the present one was edited by dr. John Gregory, who has added many notes and the index, the author having died in 1628
9 or 1629
30. The title in the copies seen (one on large paper given by the author) has been sewn or pasted in separately, an original titlepage having been torn out. Perhaps this was in order to secure proper printing in red ink, for the words underlined in the title above are in red ink, as are also in the imprint the words Oxford, University: 1634., and Cum Privilegio. The next editions were issued at Oxford in 1662 and 1675 or 1676. This is the first Oxford book in which I have noticed Anglo-Saxon type (Pica, pp. 184, 193, in the notes).
