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 La conqueste de Loys douziesme sur sa duchie de 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. 22 Allot (R.)

Seres. **For mention of this scarce little Book, I have in vain consulted Herbert's Ames and the Catalogues of West, Fletewood, Ratcliffe, Wright, Pearson, Croft and others. Mr. Haslewood ascribes this little Poem to Barnaby Googe, in which opinion he is confirmed by Sir E. Brydges. Having overlooked the present copy in Dr. Farmer's Catalogue, he erroneously supposes Lord Spencer's to be the only one hitherto discovered. See the British Bibl. vol. 2, page 618," MS. note by 48 B.
