These are extracts from the newly printed Corpus Statutorum, for the use of junior members of the University, but the fuller edition in book form first issued in 1638 (which see,) was taken as the model for all succeeding issues. The title heads the first column, and the colophon ends the 2nd. See the preceding article, for possible authorship.
Persius. The statement by Wood (Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 523) that there is a 1635 Oxford edition of Barten Holyday’s translation of Persius, which deceived Brüggemann, is erroneous: the edition referred to was printed at London.

See 1620 J. This is Rouse’s new edition of the little Appendix to the 1620 edition of the Catalogue. The MSS. are still mixed with the printed books. The preface shows that Verneuil’s book, see below in this year, could be regarded as a part of this work, though formally distinct. Rouse’s name does not occur, but is necessarily inferred from the preface.

See Wood’s Ath. Oxon., ed. Bliss, iii. 222. This is an anonymous and much enlarged edition of pp. 163–179 of James’s Bodleian Catalogue (Oxf. 1605): made by John Verneuil sublibrarian. The preface mentions a pirated edition of this book, made without the knowledge of the authorities of the Library, but no copy seems to be known. See Rouse, above in this year.
