TYPOGRAPHICAL PARTICULARS.--There is no title-page. The only type used is No. 1. The lines are for the most part fully spaced out, though now and then there is a deficiency in this respect, which only occurs, however, on the verso of the folios, the recto throughout being fully spaced. This peculiarity is observable to a greater or less extent in all the French books printed in this type. The full lines measure 5 inches, and 31 lines make a full page. There are no signatures, folios, nor catchwords. In all typographical particulars this work agrees with the French edition of “Jason,” already described, and there is little doubt was printed by Colard Mansion at Bruges, about 1478. The Text begins on the first recto,-- ~A braye penitance est comme aucune eschielle ~l~ par laquelle lomme pecheur qui selon la parabole de leuuangille descendy de Jherusalem en Jherico monta de rechief de Jherico en Jherusalem / cest abision de~ And ends on the 33rd verso, with a full page, followed by a blank leaf,-- ~exultacion de leesse espirituelle / Puis encores sil te plaist me donne que par ce septenuaire des pseaulmes de peniten- ce lesquelz correspondent aux sept affectz de lomme prins pour les sept degrez de leschielle de penitence Je puisse mō- ter et paruenir atoy en cette tant glorieuse cite de Jherusa- lem en laquelle tu habites et te offrir auec les sains et be- neurez le sacrifice de loenge sans fin /: AMEN~ REMARKS.--This work is a translation from the original Latin of Cardinal Pierre d’Ailly, entitled “Meditaciones Circa Septem Psalmos Penitentiales.” It was composed about the end of the fourteenth century, and translated shortly after into French, but by whom is uncertain, although from the style it is supposed by several of his biographers to have been from the pen of the Cardinal himself. It has been attributed to Antoine Belard, but on insufficient grounds, as his version, printed at Lyons in 1542, was a much later production. The Cardinal was the author of at least 42 works, many of which are preserved in Harl. MS., No. 637; but neither in the British Museum nor in the National Library, Paris, does there appear to be a MS. copy of this commentary on the Penitential Psalms. About 1483 the original Latin was printed at Paris by Ant. Caylaut, and another edition of German, 15th cent. workmanship, but without Name, Place, or Date, is in the British Museum. It was also reprinted at Strasbourg in 1490, and in the “Orthodoxographa,” Basle, 1555. The Commentary on the Penitential Psalms printed by Wynken de Worde was composed by Bishop Alcock, and has nothing in common with this.
