    69 Brasbridge, T. Quaestiones . . . Impr. 5 (by Barnes): (Vol. i, p. 228). 70 Catiiinariae Proditiones. In Catilinarias proditiones ac proditores dome- sticos,Odae 6. Impr. 9a (by Barnes, for Tiger’s Head\Toby Cooke]) : 8° : pp. [16]. The only known copy is in the British Museum marked 1213. k. 10 (2), and wants sign. A 1. The author of these odes (in Alcaics and Sapphics) was clearly a Christ Church man, and dedicates them to the House. Their beginnings are :—Nunc est per auras: Ergone si quid : Quis mihi centum, to the queen: Quo proditorum: Quisquamne credat: O Patre forti, to the queen. The type is pica italic. 71 Chardon, J.

Reglas gramaticales para aprender la lengua Espanolay Francesa, confiriendo la vna con la otra, segun el orden de las partes de la oration Latinas.*** Impr. 9* (by Barnes) (eights) 120: pp. [8]+ 126: ded. ‘ al illustre Patricio Ginoves, el senor Horatio Palavicino,’ by ‘ A.D.C.’ In the place of reading lessons the author appended to this work an anonymous treatise by Juan Valdes (75) entitled ‘ Dialogo en que particularmente se tratan las cosas acaecidas en Roma el ano de M.D. xxvii . . ‘ Impresso en Paris en . . . 1586 ’ (pp. [4] + 84 [‘ 77 ’], which seems to be wholly printed at Oxford, especially as the second leaf (c El corrector de la imprimeria, al prudente Lector ’) is absolutely identical with the second leaf of the Reglas. As the preface to the Reglas states that the author was bom in A. D. 1527, there can be no doubt that ‘ A.D.C.’ stands for Antonio del Corro (Antonius Corranus), and that this is the Grammar which was translated into English by Johannes Thorius and published in London in 1590. Mr. W. H. Allnutt discovered a complete copy in sir G. O. Wombwell’s library at Newburgh Priory, Easingwold (1901), and suggested the author’s name. Copies of the latter part (the supposed Paris edition) are not very rare. 76 — [another issue of no. 74 with impr. 9**, the fictitious Paris imprint.] A copy was in 1905 in the possession of Mr. Voynich, the London bookseller, and is part of art. 81 in his Catal. 24 (Oct. 1907), and is now in the Bodleian Library. It appears that it was an unpopular course to issue Spanish books at this time, so Barnes endeavoured to pass off the book as a Paris one. There is a copy in the Bury St. Edmunds School Library. 77 Ecclesiastes. Solomon’s sermon. Impr. 4 (by Barnes). 78 Hutchins, E. Sermon at Westchester, Sept. 25, 1586.
