SECOND EDITION and the first of only three books printed by Bernardus of Cologne. Maius was an ardent proponent of the elegant use of Latin, a concern on which the Renaissance was founded.

The work was used as a chief source for Calepinus's dictionary. FRESH CONDITION. H *10540; BMC VI, 892 (IB. 28393); Goff M-96; Polain(B) 2575; IDL 3050; IGI 6037; BSB M-66
