— According to Fabricius, the orthography of this edition is
more correct than the preceding one of Sulpitius; in other
respects it is very like it. It is quite as scarce as the editio
princeps.
This Volume begins,—“ Hoc in Volumine continentur: Cleo¬
1497.
nidæe Harmonicum Introductorium interprete Georgio Valla
Placentino. L. Vitruvii Pollionis de Architectura Libri De¬
cem. Sexti Julii Frontini de Aquæductibus Liber unus.
Angeli Politiani Opusculum: quod Panepistemon inscribitur.
Angeli Politiani in priora Analytica præelectio, cui titulus est
Lamia."— At the end of the Vitruvius,— Impressum Vene¬
tiis, per Simonem Papiensem dictum Bivilaquam: Anno
M.CCCC.LXXXXVII. die tertio Augusti."—fol. With a few
slight variations in the text, this is little more than a reprint
of the preceding Florence Edition, as regards Vitruvius.
The Cleonidas is an addition to it. The name of the Editor
does not appear ; he has divided the chapters of the first
book differently from those of the two former editions. This
book, though not common, does not fetch a large price.
1511.—“ M. Vitruvius per locundum solito castigatior factus, cum
figuris et tabula, ut iam legi et intelligi possit. "At the end,
—“ Impressum Venetiis ac magis quam unquam aliquo alio

Tridino alias Tacuino. Anno Domini M.D.XI. die XXII.

—With many wood blocks. This was the first edition
illustrated with Figures. Jocundus altered the text of the
two former editions in many places. Polenus thinks he car¬
ried his emendations further than he was justified in doing;
but he gives the preference to this over the former editions.
1513.—“ Vitruvius iterum et Frontinus a locundo revisi repurgatique
quantum ex collatione licuit."—At the end :— Hoc opus
præcipua diligentia castigatum, et cura summa excusum est
Florentiæ sumptibus Philippi de Giunta Florentini, anno Do¬

in this edition are the same as the preceding, but consider¬
