ImprintRome : Eucharius Silber, 10 July 1498, 3 Aug. 1498
Format
NotesWoodcuts
Copies are known with and without the papal privilege printed on f.12b. Some copies (eg LC, WartGL, Bamberg, Kraków J) have an inserted quarto leaf printed in Johannes Hamman's type 102G giving the list of contents. Others (eg Augsburg 2° Ink 1058a) have the same contents on an inserted folio leaf printed in Silber's 73G. GW Anm. calls these leaves Ankündigungsblätter but they may be rather title pages clarifying the confused order of the contents for sale in different towns. For a reproduction of the Library of Congress copy see Pollard and Ehrman Fig. 10
A collection of spurious fragments purporting to be the work of Myrsilus Lesbius, Cato, Archilochus, Metasthenes, Xenophon (De aequivocis), Berosus, Manetho, and other Greek and Roman writers, but probably fabricated by Annius (Giovanni Nanni)
