—I have seen an old black-letter book of homilies in Latin, with the following imprint:—
"Sermones Michaelis de Ungaria prædicabiles per totū annum licet breves. Et sic est finis sit laus et gloria trinis Impressū suburbiis sācti germani de praetis per Petrū Leuet, anno dn̅i millesimo quadringēte sino nonagesimo septimo primo die vero. xiij. Novembris."
I should be glad if any of your correspondents could furnish any information regarding the printer.
ABERDONIENSIS.
[Petrus Levet was one of the early Paris printers, and several of the works printed by him are noticed in Gresswell's Annals of Parisian Typography, pp. 96. 100. 104. At p. 178. will be found his device, copied from the Destructorium Vitiorum, anno 1497.]
Nimble Ninepence.
—What is the origin of this expression?
P. S. KG.
["A nimble ninepence is better than a slow shilling."—Old Proverb.]
