Border ornamentation in color on fol. 5^a. Initials at the head of the

manuscript where it was lacking and the misplaced line of print is
canceled.

On the discontinuance of the Sorbonne press in 1473, the printers,
Crantz, Gering, and Friburger, moved into the neighboring Rue
Saint-Jacques and set up a press, with new type, on their own account.
An edition of the Sophologium had been one of the last books printed at
the old press. A second edition was issued from the new press in 1475,
of which the present edition is, in type, number of pages and lines, an
exact reprint, but has printed signatures and is a quarto while that was
a folio. Caxton's "Book of Good Manners," printed in 1487, was a
translation of "Le livre des bonnes meurs," another work by the same
author.

The present copy, bound in green morocco with gold borders and gilt
edges, is from the Syston Park library, sold in December, 1884. Leaf
10-3/4 x 7-1/4 in.
