    34 HRABANUS. The same, a jiner and larger copy, with numerous painted initials, the edges uncut and the book consisting of 170 leaves (one blank at the beginning and two blanks at the end); bound up im one volume, with the St. Bernard's Epvstles described above under Lggesteyn ; pigskin binding (Strassburg, about 1472) 9 0 0 The paper-mark in both books is the large rose already mentioned as found in paper used by both Mentelin and Eggesteyn. This book is assigned by Klemm to the date of 1464. 385 DIONYSIUS DE BURGO IN VALERIUM MAXIMUM. Fol. 1 blank. ol. 2a: Incipit epistola super declaratione Valerii Maxi- | mi. Edita. a fratre dyonisio de Burgo sancti sepulcri- | ordinis fratrum heremitarum sancti Augustini. Jol, 371a, line 35: tit’. In seculaseculorum. Amen. Stout small folio, 371 leaves (of which the first 1s blank) printed in Roman letter (with the nodding R), thirty-six lines to the page; with painted imtials ; hf. bd. S.n. (Strassburg, about 1474) 5 5 0 Abbreviations more frequently occur here than in the Seneca and the Petrarch, and the number of lines to the page is increased. Furthermore, parenthesis-brackets are often used in the Burgo. I there- fore conclude that this is a later product of the R-press, probably 1474 or 1475, although Hain conjectured 1471. The copy he saw must have been imperfect, as he sets down the number of leaves as 369 ; while here we have 1 blank and 370 printed leaves. The paper-marks are the bull’s head, the gothic p, the anchor, and the crescent. George Llusner and Johann Bekenhub, 1473 36 DURANTUS, Sprecutum Jupicrate. Jol. la, column 1: IN NOMINE DOMINI.
