De proprietatibus rerum. Co- 

 lonise et BasiliEe, il470i. 238 leaves, 

 fol. Pre-Linn. 1470.1 



This famous compilation, the first edition of 

 which is listed above, is the first encyclopaedia 

 ever printed. Before the invention of printing 

 many MS. copies had been made, of which 

 specimens are to be found in the libraries of the 

 B. M., Paris (MS. dated 1376), the Vatican, 

 Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and else- 

 where. First printed in 1470, 1471, or 1472 at 

 Cologne, and at Basel 1472, it sprang into great 

 favor. Besides a number of undated versions, 

 at least 26 editions, mostly in folio, were issued 

 1470-1495; 10 during the 15th century, and 3 

 from 1601-1619 — the date of the last edition 

 ever published. These are distributed as fol- 

 lows: Cologne, 4, 1470-1483; Basle, 1, 1470; 

 London, 4, 1471-1582; Lyons, 5, 1482-1600; 

 Strasburg, 6, 1480-1505; Nuremberg, 5, 1483- 

 1519; Harlem 3, 1484-1495; Toledo, 2, 1494 & 

 1529; Paris, 2, 1556 & 1673; Venice, 2, 1616, 

 1571; Frankfort, 3, 1601-1619, — and French 

 and Dutch editions of 1472 and 1479 without 

 place. For the above we have records; there 

 are probably others still not listed. _ 



Early foreign versions, including English, 

 are:

 — In the yeare 1397, 37 yeares after, was this
