other differences are confined to occasional emendations, corrected errors of the press, abbreviations written out in full, additional parallel passages, and, which is the best, sharper type; that of the former edition, though exactly the same, seems already worn out. The following editions contain no essential alterations; what characterises them are the metrical compositions above quoted at the end of Revelation. There is an edition of 1482, another of 1483, one of 1485, two of 1486, one of 1487, and another of 1489. All these nine Bibles evidently came from the same press; if, therefore, the above-mentioned inscription of the Carthusians is of any value as a witness, it has such value not only for the two editions in which it is found, but also for all the later ones. Panzer, in referring to the edition of 1479, says that it is printed with the same gothic type as the work printed at Basle in 1481, entitled: Joannis Nider præceptorium seu expositio decem præceptorum. Impressum Basilee MCCCCLXXXI. If we have argued rightly above, it would follow, from this observation of Panzer, that this præceptorium also was printed by J. Amerbach. II. Books with Amerbach's name : a. Without date. 1. Libri artis logice Porphyrii et Aristotelis cum explanacione magistri Joannis de Lapide. Fol. Gothic type; according to Panzer, roman; larger in the text, smaller in the commentaries. At the end of the 2nd col. of the 8th leaf of sheet U we read: Porphèriana Aristotelàcaque logica cum explanacione magistri Joannis de lapide: per magistrum Joannem de Amerbach Lapidani quondam discipulum accuratissima Impressione apud Basileam; foeliciter finit. 2.

Signat. Fol. The woodcut on the opposite page shows one of the illustrations of this book. The drawing, though very defective as to proportion and perspective, is an improvement on earlier woodcuts by the introduction and proper distribution of light and dark lines. 7. Augustinus de Trinitate. At end of last book: Aurelii Augustini de trinitate liber explicitus est. Anno domini MCCCCLXXXIX. Then the Index and 10 distichs, the last being : Numine sancte tuo pater o tueare Joannem Goth. type. Signat. Fol. 8. S. Augustini Psalmorum explanatio.
