MARTIAL (MARCUS VALERIUS)
Footnotes
ENGLISH BINDING INCORPORATING A VERY RARE PRINTED FRAGMENT. Bound in at the end are leaf C1 and the final leaf (with colophon and woodcut printer's device) of John Stanbridge's The Longe Accydence, "Enprynted at London... by me Hary Pepwell", 1519 (STC 23154.3).
According to STC, two leaves of this work were "seen by E.G. Duff, when they were bound at the end of Erasmus, In evangelium Lucae, Basle: Froben, 1548, belonging in 1908 to Mr. Barber, a bookseller of Manchester." That fragment is currently untraced, but the present pair of leaves is recorded in ESTC - making this the only fragment whose whereabouts are known.
Provenance: Thomas Bird; William ?Thrace ("Wmi. Thoraci Liber"); "Ex dono Dmni. Straw", inscriptions on title.
