Notes. THE LIBRARY OF TRINITY COLLEGE, (Continued from p. 202.) Unlike those of Rome and Venice, the earliest printers at Milan were Italians, Phil. de Lavagnia of Milan and Ant. Zarotto of Parma; the former, however, probably being in the first instance the patron of the latter rather than the actual prototypographer. Two books bearing Phil. de Lavagnia's name in the imprint are in the library, Lucan's Pharsalia and Vergerius De Ingenuis Moribus, both printed in 1477. Of Ant. Zarotto's press there are a considerable number, the earliest being an edition of the Letters of Pius II. during his episcopate, printed in 1473-a large quarto, though generally called a folio. I may also mention the edition of Esop's Fables, in the Latin version of Rimicius (1476), and that of Livy, from the text of Joh. Andreas, Bishop of Aleria (1480), Simoneta's Comm. Rerum Gestarum Fran. Sphortia (circa 1480), and Quintas Curtius (1481). The Esop and Livy are from the Libri sale of 1859, and the latter is richly adorned with illuminated initials. Not long subsequent to these printers came a German of Ratisbon, Christian Valdarfer, who 1499. The only other Milanese book I shall mention is the Sanctuarium of Mombritius, a prototype of the great Acta Sanctorum of the Bollandists. This book, though having neither place nor date of printing, was certainly printed at Milan, and that not later than 1479; the evidence as to the date being derived from the fact that the book is dedicated to Cicho Simoneta, who was imprisoned in 1479, and executed in 1480. Although printing was practised at Naples in 1471, and several printers carried on their trade there, we unfortunately possess only three works of Neapolitan printing, and those all from the same press, that of Sextus Riessinger, whose name, however, does not actually occur in any of them. They are also all undated, but 1472 may be given as the approximate date of all three. They are the Epistles and Tractates of St. Jerome, from the recension of Theod. Lelius, Pliny De Viris Illustribus, and Franc. Aretino's Latin version of the Epistles of Phalaris. Passing over Pavia, from the presses of which there is nothing of special interest in our possession, I come to Treviso, where printing was first practised in 1471. Of the proto-typographer, Gerard de Lisa (Van de Leye), a Fleming, we possess two works, the first edition of a book otherwise known as the Poemander, Mercurius Trismegistus de Potestate et Sapientia Dei, in the Latin version of Marsilius Ficinus, printed in 1471; and the Epistola Magni Turci, printed about 1472.
