XVI
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:
1497.
Cleonidæ Harmonicum Introductorium interprete
Georgio Valla Placentino. L. Vitruvii Pollionis de
Architectura Libri Decem. Sexti Julii Frontini de
Aquæductibus Liber unus. Angeli Politiani Opusculum: -

many wood blocks. This was the first edition illus
trated with Figures. Jocundus altered the text of

thinks he carried his emendations further than he
was justified in doing ; but he gives the preference to
this over the former editions.
— Vitruvius iterum et Frontinus a locundo revisi re-1513. -

end:—" Hoc opus præcipua diligentia castigatum, et
