Only known from fragments containing signn. b 3, b 4, e 3, e 4, in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. It is still not absolutely certain that this book was printed at Oxford. If it was, this, and not the Andria of Terence printed by Pynson in 1497, was the first English edition of any part of a classic author in the original language.
1481.

The editio princeps et unica of the Latin Commentary on the De Anima (περὶ ψυχῆς) of Aristotle, made by Alexander de Hales (i.e. probably Hailes near Winchcombe) the doctor irrefragabilis (d. 1245), to be distinguished from Alexander de Ales or Alesius. Of this book there are two issues, the earlier with no border, the later with an elaborate woodcut border, the first ever found in an English printed book, surrounding the entire printed text of sign. a 2r. There are two similar issues of the Lathbury, 1482.
