Text Appearing Before Image:
verse of p Hi, is Verards usual im-print beneath his usual de\ice. The book is printed in Verards smallerletter. A desirable copy 3 in elegant red morocco binding by C. Lewis. 1073. Calandrus. De Arithmethrica. Printedhy L. de Morgiani and G. T. da Maganza, atFlorence, 1491. Octavo. This little volume, obtained from the library of the country residenceof my friend Baron Von Moll, of Munich, is interesting—not so muchfor its intrinsic worth or absolute scarcity—as from its exhibiting anunquestionable proof of the great attention paid to the fine arts, atFlorence, even in publications for the common use of the vulgar. Thetitle page appears to be wanting. The address of Philip Calandrus toJulianus Lorenzo de Medici follows. It occupies only one page, and issucceeded by a brief exposition of the nature of the work. On thereverse of the third leaf (including the title-page) we have the follow-ing illustration of teaching numbers by means of the position of thefingers. MISCELLANEOUS. 95
Text Appearing After Image:
A pretty close copy of the same wood-cut may be seen in RecordersGrounde of Artes* printed by Harrison and Bynneman in 1582, 8vo.Indeed it was common in most elementary works of the same character.After a considerable number of cuts, explanatory of the multiplicationtable, we come to a series of tables of a different description ; of whichI beg leave to present the reader with the first embellishment, on sig-nature c Hi. It affords a pretty fair specimen of the elegance of theseornaments; and may perhaps be the more interesting, as the portraitsat bottom are probably intended for those of Petrarch and Laura. * Consult the Biblugraph.ical Decameron, vol. ii. p. 329, for some account of this book. 96 MISCELLANEOUS.
