In the Julius Exclusus there is much genuine humour, not unlike that of Lucian. One or two specimens from this very rare book will require no apology. De indulgentiis Iulii.

EDITIONS EDITIONS OF THE CLASSICS. THE following curious editions of different Classic Authors were omitted by Harwood, and are not noticed in the subsequent republications of his book at Venice. HOMER. Homeri Opera Gr. 8vo. Jo. Lonicero. Argent. apud Vuolf Cephal. 1542. 2 Vol. Gr. 8vo. Sabio 1547. 2 Vol. Venice a Petro de Eadem a Bernardino Feliciano. There are two editions of Felician's Homer by the Sabii, one of 1547, the other of 1551, the title page or rather the colophon alone being changed. Ilias ab Hadriano Turnebo. Gr. 8vo. With the edition of the Iliad, printed by Turnebus, the Cracherode Collection possesses the Batrachomyomachia & Hymns in the same character, but without date. The copy, as I have elsewhere mentioned, was formerly in the collection of Mr. Bridges, and is mentioned by Maittaire, Annal. Typog. tom. 3. p. 647. Count Revickzky had another copy with the same additional pieces: it is now in the possession of Lord Spencer. |
