‘Hoc Teodericus rood quem collonia misit Sanguine germanus nobile pressit opus Atque sibi socius thomas fuit anglicus hunte. Dij dent ut venetos exuperare queant Quam ienson venetos decuit vir gallicus artem Ingenio didicit terra britanna suo Celatos veneti nobis transmittere libros Cedite nos alijs vendimus o veneti Que fuerat vobis ars primum nota latini Est eadem nobis ipsa reperta patres Quamvis semotos toto canit orbe britannos Virgilius, placet his lingua latina tamen.’ From this we learn that Rood had taken as his partner one Thomas Hunt, an Englishman, who had been established as a stationer in Oxford as early as 1473. He was probably associated with Rood in the production of all the books in the last group, and his influence may be perhaps traced in the new founts of type used in them, which are much more English in appearance than any which had been used at this press before. One of the earliest of the books of this last group is the Latin Grammar by John Anwykyll, with the _Vulgaria Terencii_. Of the first part, the Grammar, which contained about 128 leaves, only one imperfect copy, now in the Bodleian, is known. Of the other part, the _Vulgaria_, at least four copies are known, and an inscription on the copy belonging to the Bodleian gives us a clue to the date. On its first leaf is written the following inscription:—‘1483. Frater Johannes Grene emit hunc librum Oxonie de elemosinis amicorum suorum’—Brother John Grene bought this book at Oxford with the gifts of his friends. 1483 is, then, the latest date to which we can ascribe the printing of the book; and this fits it into its place, after the books of 1481 and 1482 printed in the earlier type. [Illustration: FIRST PAGE OF THE “EXCITATIO.” (_Printed at Oxford_, c. 1485.)] After the _Anwykyll_ comes a book by Richard Rolle of Hampole, _Explanationes super lectiones beati Job_, a quarto of sixty-four leaves, of which all the three known copies are in the University Library, Cambridge. With this may be classed a unique book in the British Museum, a sermon of Augustine, _Excitatio ad elemosinam faciendam_, a quarto of eight leaves. This book, bound with five other rare tracts, was lot 4912 in the Colbert sale, and brought the large price of 1 livre, 10 sous, about half-a-crown in our money. Another quarto, similar to the last two, follows, a collection of treatises on logical subjects, usually associated with the name of Roger Swyneshede, who was most probably the author of one only out of the nineteen different parts. It is a quarto of 164 leaves, and the only perfect copy known is in the library of New College, Oxford; another copy, slightly imperfect, being in the library of Merton College.
