The words here printed in Italics are in rubric in the original. Then follows on the title-page a table of contents of the volume, with reference to the folio in which each piece is to be found. Then follows a small square woodcut, representing SS. Peter and Paul holding the sacred handkerchief with the face of Christ impressed upon it; and on each side of this is the date in rubric, thus, +--------+ | | M. CCCCC. | | XXIII. | | +--------+ The whole is surrounded with a framework formed of various woodcut ornaments. One of these (on the left) represents Judas betraying our Lord with a kiss; the other (on the right) our Lord bearing His cross. On the reverse of the title is a dedicatory letter from Iodocus Badius Ascensius to Franciscus de Roban, Archbishop of Lyons. Then follows Tabula Alphabetica, occupying four pages. Then (on fol. A. iiij) a letter, "Aug. Mapheo rerū Ro. Thesaur. Pōp. letus. S." beginning "Marcus Valerius probus unice vetustatis amator." On the next page is 'Caij Crispi Sallustij vita per Pōpo. letū." On the next page begins "De historia et ea concernentibus collecta per ascensium;" and in the blanks round the heading of this page is one of the autographs of the unfortunate queen, in her large bold hand, _Maria_ _Regina_. On the next page begin "Viginti precepta pro historica lege," which are continued on the next two pages. In the blank spaces left round the titles of the ninth and tenth precepta, the queen has again written, _Ex libris_ _Mariæ_ _Scotorum_ _Reginæ_ On the next leaf begin the works of Sallust, with the commentaries and other apparatus. The sheets are in eights, so that the book is more properly large 8o than 4o, signatures A--S(but S is only a half-sheet). The prefatory matter (including the title) is contained on a single sheet, sig. A, of six leaves only. This is expressed by the printer's register at the end-- "Regestum huius operis A . a . b . c . d . e . f . g . h . i . k . l . m . n . o . p . q . r . s . Oēs sunt quaterniones preter A [q]. est ternio . s . vero duernio." The colophon has not been completely given by C.; it is as follows: "¶ Crispi Sallustii Catilina (_sic_) et Jugurthina cum reliquis collectaneis ab Ascensio: ut cum[que] explanatis: hic suum capit finem. Lugduni diligenti recognitione Impressus per Antoniū Blachard[6] anno domini M. quingētesimo. xxiii. pridie Calend. Sextiles." [Footnote 6: Not Blanchard, as C. has printed the name.] These particulars may enable your readers to identify this edition, which is, I believe, very rare.
