In 1495 we have three dated books, the _Vitas Patrum_, which Caxton was engaged in translating up to the day of his death; Higden’s _Polycronicon_, the first English book containing musical notes, and the _Directorium Sacerdotum_. Besides these, a fair number of undated books may be ascribed to this year or the year after. The most important is the Bartholomæus, _De Proprietatibus Rerum_. Apart from its ordinary interest, it is considered to be the first book printed on paper made in England. ‘And John Tate the younger, joye mote he broke, Whiche late hath in Englond doo made this paper thynne That now in our englisshe this boke is prynted Inne.’ In 1496 appeared the curious reprint of the _Book of St. Albans_. It seems never to have been noticed that this book is entirely printed with the type which was obtained from Godfried van Os about the time of his removal to Copenhagen. Besides the _Book of St. Albans_, it has an extra chapter on fishing with an angle, the first treatise on the subject in English. An edition of the _Dives and Pauper_, with a handsome title-page, was issued this year, as well as a number of smaller books of considerable interest, as the _Constitutions_ of Lyndewode, the _Meditacions_ of St. Bernard, and the _Festial_ and _Quattuor Sermones_. Among the dated books of 1497 are the _Chronicles of England_, an edition copied from the one printed at St. Albans; and it is from the colophon to this edition that we learn that the printer at St. Albans was ‘sometyme scole mayster’ there. In 1498 three large and important books were printed; of these the first was an edition of the _Golden Legend_, of which only one perfect copy is known, in the Spencer Collection; the next, a second edition of the _Morte d’Arthur_, the first illustrated with woodcuts. The only known copy of this book, wanting ten leaves, is also in the Spencer Library. The third book was an edition of the _Canterbury Tales_. In 1499 a large number of books were printed, the most curious being an edition of _Mandeville’s Travels_, illustrated profusely with woodcuts of the wonders seen by the traveller, who got as far as the walls of Paradise, but did not look in. Of this book two copies, both imperfect, are known. _A Book of Good Manners_ and a _Psalterium_, both known from single copies, were also printed in this year. An _Ortus Vocabulorum_, printed in 1500, is the last book which was issued by De Worde at Westminster. Altogether, from 1491 to the time he left Caxton’s old house at Westminster, W. de Worde printed about a hundred books, certainly not less; and he also had a few books printed for him, and at his expense, by other printers.
