Impressum Ast per magistrum Francischum de silva Anno dni Milesimo quingentesimo vigesimo primo die XII. mensis Marcii.

***This is one of the very rarest and most curious books in Mr. Heber's Library. It consists of Tales, Theatrical Representations, and Poems, in the Macaronick, Piedmontese and French Languages. The only Bibliographical accounts to be found of it have been taken by De Bure and Brunet, (see Article Macharronea) from imperfect copies, wanting the Title, Date, &c. The first fourteen pieces in this volume have the same number of leaves as the copy collated by De Bure, with following exceptions. The first in this contains nine leaves and seven verses on the tenth, instead of seven leaves and seven verses on the tenth, as stated by De Bure. The second contains seventeen leaves and a half instead of seven and a half. The thirteenth has four and a half instead of

two leaves.

This copy also contains two leaves of the
Register of Contents instead of one. This second leaf
contains the Table of nineteen additional and hitherto
unknown pieces, a list of which is here given.

La conqueste de Loys douziesme sur sa duchie de
Milan. Ditz que devoit pronuncier une pucelle d'Ast au
Roy Francois. Ditz du Marzocq. de Cremonne trans-
porte en Ast. Vers composez sur les faiz des Francois en
Italye. Louange au Marcquiz de Monferrasur sa conqueste
d'Ancise. Le dit du singe. Chappitre de liberte. Louange
a nostre dame en chant sur la nativite et passion de
nostre seigneur. Autre louange sur l'obsecro. Autre
louange sur l'ave maris stella. Autre louange sur le
salve regina. Louange a Sainte Catherine. La chanson
des Suyces sur la Bataille de Marignan. La chanson de
la Josne dame marie au vieillart jaloux. La chanson de
la bergiere. Autre chanson. Deux rondeaux d'amours
composez par significations (figures en bois). Rondeau
en flamens. Replicque en Italien sulle dit du singe.

The supposition of an edition of 1496 is quite erro-

neous. From the description of the last piece in the

La Valliere and Gaignat Libraries, it was concluded by

De Bure and Brunet, that it could not have been printed

sooner. An edition of the first eleven pieces only was

printed in 1601. This unique copy was obtained from

Italy by Messrs. Payne and Foss, and sold by them to Mr.

Hanrott.

22 Allot (R.) Englands Parnassus, or, The choysest Flowers of

our Moderne Poets, with their Poeticall comparisons;

Descriptions of Bewties, Personages, Castles, Pallaces,
Mountaines, Groves, Seas, Springs, Rivers, &c.

** Certainly very curious, and to the best of my
knowledge UNIQUE, not in Ames... "The Parlament

doubt a different Tract from the present." Note by
Mr. Heber.

43 AVALE (LEMEKE) A COMMEMORATION, OR DIRIGE OF

BASTARDE EDMONDE BONER; alias SAVAGE, USURPED

BISSHOPPE OF LONDON, (in verse,) Imprinted by P. O,

1569. A RECANTATION OF FAMOUS PASQUIN OF ROME,

IN VERSE, Imprinted by John Daye, 1570.

**In the British Bibliographer, II. 288, is some

account of these extremely curious and interesting Tracts,
but the author of the article has contrived to omit the
most singular part of the information they contain, to-
gether with the notices of Miles Huggard, John Availe,
and of the flight of the three Heywoods, old John, Elis
and Jasper, to Louvaine on the establishment of Pro-
testantism in England. The second Tract shews that
John Heywood the Father was alive in 1570, a fact stated
in no other extant authority. The mention of Crawley
the Printer and Preacher, is also remarkable. Both
Tracts have a great deal of humour as well as coarse-
ness, and were probably written by the same author, R.
W., who puts his initials only to the last, having written
the first under the assumed name of Lemeke Avale, as if
he were some relation to John Availe, whose actions are
celebrated.

Morall Meditations of Concord, Chastitie, Constancie,

Courtesie, Gravitie, printed for John Teage, 1622.
