 Powlys churche yarde. B. L. [ Paris, 1520 ?] 4. 



[The work consists of 164 unnumbered folios, including title and 

 table of contents. The register is in fours. The Latin original 

 " Dyalogus creaturarum moralizatus," was printed " Per gerardum 

 leev in opido goudensi, 1480," fol., and is of peculiar interest to the 

 angling bibliophilist as it contains, among other woodcuts, the earli- 

 est known illustration in a printed book, of an angler using a float. 

 This is prefixed to the forty-fourth dialogue " De lucio et trincha 

 dyalogus." The work went through numerous editions abroad, be- 

 fore it was translated into English and was even then not printed in 

 this country. It is undoubtedly the production of a foreign press, 

 Mr. Haslewood in his reprint of 1816 quotes a note communicated 

 to him by the Rev. T. F. Dibdin in which the latter says "Although 

 mention is made that this book is to be sold in St. Paul's Church 

 Yard, yet I am inclined to think it was printed in France by the 

 type and blooming letters ; the former being much like Thielman 

 Kerver's, and of the latter some are very uncommon." 



Perfect copies of the Latin original of 1480 and of the English 

 translation, to which is assigned in the British Museum catalogue 

 the conjectural date of 1520, are extremely rare. Both however are 

 in the National Collection.] 



Three dialogues on the amusements of clergymen.
