[375] Of this xylographic _Apocalypse_ the Library possesses two other
editions; one being that called by Mr. Sotheby the Fourth, which was
given by Archbp. Laud, and the other being that called the Fifth by
Sotheby, but 'Editio princeps' by Heinecken, which was bought in 1853
for £120 5_s._ Other Block-books in the Library are, (1) two editions of
the _Biblia Pauperum_, or Scenes from Bible History; one coloured, the
other (which belonged to Douce) uncoloured; (2) the _Historia B. M. V.
ex Cantico Canticorum_, being the edition called the Second by Sotheby;
(3) _Propugnacula, seu Turris Sapientiæ_, a broadside, bought in 1853
for six guineas. A facsimile of this is given in vol. ii. of Sotheby's
_Principia_; (4) _Speculum Humanæ Salvationis._ In this book, which is
the second Latin edition of the work (formerly described as the _Editio
princeps_), twenty pages are taken off from wood-blocks, and the rest
from moveable type. The copy belonged to Douce. It came previously 'ex
Musæo Pauli Girardot de Prefond,' but is not mentioned in De Bure's
catalogue of that library, published in 1757. It is said that a copy of
this book has been sold for the large sum of 300 guineas.
