Binding: Eighteenth-century mottled blind-tooled calf;rebacked; the gold stamp of the Bodleian Library on both covers.Size: 283 ¿ 230 ¿ 70 mm. Size of leaf: 275 ¿ 200 mm.On the front endleaf nineteenth-century note, by H. C., probablyHenry Cotton: ‘Mem.This is themost tiresome volume I ever hadto deal with. H. C.’Initials and paragraph marks are supplied in red.Provenance: The provenance of this volume must be consideredjointly with that of Auct. N 2.6, which contains Marcus TulliusCicero, Paradoxa stoicorum; Laelius; Cato maior; SomniumScipionis [Brescia: Statius Gallicus, before Sept. 1475](C-343(1)); and Marcus Tullius Cicero, gatherings [a-z] ofMarcus Tullius Cicero, Orationes [Bologna: Printer of Barbatia‘Johannina’ (H *2429), c.1475] (C-241(1). It seems certain thatAuct. N 2.6 (C-241(1) and C-343(1)) was owned by EdwardBernard (1638^1697) and that it, together with Auct. O 2.21, con-stitutes no. 416 in Humphrey Wanley’s list of Bernard’s books,purchased from Bernard’s widow in 1697. The frequent marginalnotes in various hands in several of the items allow an attempt atestablishing when the constituent parts of the volumewere joinedtogether. Auct. N 2.6(1) was bought 24 Sept. 1475 from aHenricus, possibly at Utrecht, by a person whose name is nowerased: ‘M. T. Paradoxa. De Amicicia. De Senectute, DeSo[m]n[i]o Scipionis. Et habui hunc librum ab Henrico traiecti[erasure] die 24 mensis Decembris 1475 pro sex bologninis etsunt quinque quinterni’ (this is not quite a correct description ofthe item in question, which is 1 ‘quinternum’, 3 ‘quaterni’, and 1‘bifolium’; ‘quinternus’ appears to be used here to mean gather-ing); the payment is recorded as having been made inBol[ognini], so the item may have been bought in Bologna; seeC-343(1); in this item there are frequent corrections to the text,possibly in the hand of the person who bought the item in 1475.Auct. N 2.6(2) and Auct. O 2.21(1) are two sections of the samecopy of GW 6764; see C-241(1^2): Auct. N 2.6(2) begins with amanuscript table of contents, dated 1519, listing and numberingthe orations, and both halves of the item have references to thenumbering as a running heading in the upper margin, and to thetitles of the table preceding each oration; as this itemwas printedin Bologna, it is tempting to believe that it was also acquired bythe anonymous owner of C-343(1), but there is no ¢rm evidencefor this; they were certainly not bought at the same time, as theinscription in Auct. N 2.6 records the number of gatheringsbought and no convincing example of the 1519 hand has beenfound in C-343(1). It is certain that both items in Auct. N 2.6 andAuct. O 2.21(1) were together before they were acquired byEdward Bernard, as they contain notes in an earlier hand, mak-ing observations on the texts and identifying the passages with ahatch sign and with double quotation marks. All three items alsohave marginal notes and corrections in a seventeenth-centurynorth-European hand. Auct. O 2.21(2) has marginal notes in ahand recognizable from its marginal ‘Nota’and curly lines alongthe columns of text, probably datable to 1519, as it seems to be thehand that wrote the table of contents preceding Auct. N 2.6(2)(which was, therefore, probably with the other items fromc.1519). Auct. O 2.21(3^4) both have notes in the 1519 hand andthe seventeenth-century hand, also notes in red ink; on a2

r ofAuct. O 2.21(3) is a monogram: ‘BCEF(?)IT’, with 2 mottoes:‘Post tenebras spero lucem’, and ‘Quid mihi cum Lesbo Sicelisesse volo’ (Ep. Sapph. 52). The ¢rst leaf of Auct. N 2.6(2) and,therefore, of Auct. O 2.21(1) is decorated, possibly in Germany,

or, less likely, in provincial northern France. Over the decorationhasbeen added the coatofarms ofdeLesmeleuc, a noble familyofBrittany; see P. Potier de Courcy, Nobiliaire et armorial deBretagne, 2nd edn (Nantes and Paris, 1862), II 94. Decoration inthe same style and with the same coat of arms is also found inAuct. O 2.21(3), on a2

r, and in a similar style on a1r. Decoration

in a similar style is found in Auct. O 2.21(5). Although the style issimilar, the decoration does not seem tohavebeen planned jointlyfor these items. It is, therefore, possible that Auct. N 2.6(2), Auct.O 2.21(1) and Auct. O 2.21(5^6) were decorated separately in thesame area, possibly for the same owner, and only joined togetherlater. It is also possible thatAuct. O 2.21(5^6) were acquired sepa-rately by Edward Bernard, as they might have been items 60 and61 in Catalogi Bibliothecae Heinsianae pars posterior (Leiden,1682): ‘60. Ovidii editio Bononiensis anno 1480. > 61. ç Alia sedantiquissima’, as it is known that Bernard bought extensively atthis sale.Former Bodleian shelfmarks: P 8.17 Art; 4o S 25 Jur.

A copy waspresented by John Selden’s executors in 1659; see MS. Broxb. 84.10, p. 19, wrongly described as printed in Milan in 1595; no suchedition exists, but this is also a possible misreading of the colo-phon.
