De universo [Colonise Agrip- 



pina;, 1617] Pre-Linn. 1617.1 



Fishes, book viii, chap. 5. 



The "De Universo" is, in arrangement and 

 method, a forerunner of the "Specuhim" of 

 Vincent de Beauvais. The date of the first 

 printing is not certainly known, but there was 

 an edition of Rabanus's collected works issued 

 in 1617 or 1627. which has been reprinted and 

 is available in ]\ligne, J. P. "Patrologiie cursus 

 complectus . . . series secunda, doctores scrip- 

 toresque ecclesiie Latinse, Tomus V, vol. 5," 

 "De Universo," cols. 9-614. Paris, 1852.

— — Terzo volume delle navigatione 

 et viaggi raccolto gia da M. Gio. Bat- 

 tista Ramusio nel quale si contengono 

 ... Si come si legge nelle diverse rela- 

 tioni, tradotte dal Ramusio di lingua 

 Spagnuola & Francese nella nostra, & 

 raccolte in questo volume. Venetia, 

 1565. 456 p. cuts. maps. fol. 



Pre-Linn. 1565.1 



Delia historia dell' Indie. Vene- 

 tia, 1606. Pre Linn. 1606.1 



This contains some descriptions of West In- 

 dian fishes, and an account of fishing with the 

 remora. 



Ramusio's collection of "Navigationi e Vi- 

 aggi" was one of the first and is still one of the 

 most valuable of its kind. Issued separately in 

 3 volumes and in numerous editions, it is diffi- 

 cult to avoid confusion in setting the dates for 



these. However, since the 3rd volume is de- 

 voted exclusively to voj-ages to the new world, 

 it is of particular interest here and it only has 

 been listed. It appeared in three editions, 1556, 

 1565, and last (and much augmented) 1606.
