named in Latin, Miseriæ Curialium, compiled by Eneas Siluius Poet
and Oratour’ (_i.e._ Æneas Silvius Piccolomini, afterwards Pius
II.) five in number, in double columns. Two editions of the
translation of Brant appeared in 1509 from the presses respectively
of R. Pynson and Wynkin de Worde, the latter of whom printed
another edition in 1518. The present edition appears to be the
fourth. Of the Eclogues, i-iv were printed by R. Pynson, the fifth
by W. de Worde early in the century; i-iii were twice reprinted
about the middle of the century, while the present is the first
edition containing all five.
