_Fol. 1^a_: Aeneæ Siluii poætæ laureati (cui _et_ pro pontificali
dignitate Pio nomen est) in disputatione_m_ de curialiu_m_ miseria ad
perspicacissimu_m_ iurisconsultu_m_ Iohanne_m_ Ech, serenissimi
diuiq_ue_ principis, Alberti, cæsaris inuictissimi! Alberti quoque

fœliciter incipit; _Fol. 34^a_: Vale uir (nisi ex curialibus unus
esses) meo iudicio prudens; COLOPHON: Aeneæ Siluii de curialiu_m_
miseria disputatio finem habet fœlicem; _Fol. 35, 36, blank._
Quarto. Quires [1-3^{10}, 4^6], 36 leaves, the last two blank, 23
lines to the page, roman letter, without signatures, catchwords,
pagination, place, printer's name or date. Two- and six-line spaces
left for capitals. Claudin XX. Pellechet 132. Hain 198.
First initial rubricated in the same style and by the same hand as in
the _De duobus amantibus_. Other capitals and paragraph-marks in red and
blue alternately. Initial-strokes in yellow. At the bottom of fol. 29^a
a line accidentally dropped by the compositor is supplied in manuscript
by a contemporary hand, viz., "non te uolunt. Quida_m_ uero pote_n_tes
sunt! ac ex." Both the recto and the verso of the leaf have the full
complement of 23 lines but there is a hiatus in the text. The copies in
the Bibliothèque Nationale, and the Bibliothèque Mazarine, Paris, have
the line supplied in manuscript in like manner, but instead of _uero_
read _non_, which does not suit the context.
According to Claudin this is the twentieth book printed at the Sorbonne
press. To the five copies known to him this adds a sixth.
Bound with No. 19. De duobus amantibus.
