    260 Gentilis, Albericus. ALBERICI | gentilis, ivris-|consvlti, pROFES-|foris regii, | LAVDES ACA-|demia: pervsina: | et Oxonien- sis. | [device]. Hanoviae, Apud Guilielmum Antonium : 1605 : (eights) 120 : pp. 52 : dedicated by the editor to dr. Ralph Hutchinson, pres, of St. John’s. * This contains two Latin speeches by Alberico Gentile delivered in the schools at Oxford (apparently in July, 1602, and July, 1603, respectively), and edited by his son Robert. The first bears the title ‘ Laudes academise Perusinse in comitiis Samp. Hussei, Io. Buddeni, & Oliuerii Floydi’, the second (p. 28) ‘Laudes academise Oxoniensis in comitiis Etzonis Tiardse’. Both are rhetorical and uncritical, but quote authorities. Oxford is maintained to be the oldest of all universities. The author was a doctor at both places, and gives incidentally many details of his own life. 261 Nixon, Anthony.

This very rare book is a valuable account of the royal visit in August, 1605, including a Latin speech by the king, and a poem on the visit by Nixon. Some details are given which are not in Wake’s more extended account (see no. 288). The book was entered by them at Stationers’ Hall as early as Sept. 19, 1605. 262 Oxford, Christ Church.
