More light on sixteenth-century printing at Salamanca
No history of printing at Salamanca has yet been written. This may be partly due to the difficulties surrounding two of the principal incunable presses in the city, both of which are anonymous. In the first half of the sixteenth century, however, there are some extremely interesting links between one...Rhodes, Dennis E.

Two sixteenth-century Italian devices
THE two devices here discussed have nothing in common except that they are both Italian of the sixteenth century, occur in books in the British Library, and have not been satisfactorily explained or identified hitherto. Much work remains to be done on Italian printers' and publishers' devices, and indeed there...Rhodes, Dennis E.

Italian City and regional statutes 1473-1600, in the British Library
WITH the purchase in September 1974 of the printed statutes of Bologna, a book which was completed shortly after 28 February 1475, the British Library increases its holdings of the products of the first press in Bologna, that of Baldassare Azzoguidi, from fourteen to fifteen out of a total of...Rhodes, Dennis E.

Hilarius Cantiuncula and his book of poems
THE present brief investigation arose out of the discovery of an unfortunate error in the British Museum's Short-title Catalogue of Italian Books 1463-1600 (1958), where on page 327 we read the following entry: 'Hilarius, a writer of Latin verse in Germany. Cantiunculae hendecasyllaborum liber. Apud P. Petramsanctam: [Gualtiero Scotto:] Venetijs,...Rhodes, Dennis E.

Notes: Nicolaus Falcutius and Nicolaus Nicoli

In the hope that he may be correctly catalogued in the future, I will here list the printed editions of his...Rhodes, Dennis E.

Two new Italian printing centres of the sixteenth century
IN April 1980 the Department of Printed Books bought two extremely rare books, each of which adds a new town to our already very rich collection of sixteenth-century Italian imprints. While these books are not unrecorded, it is most unlikely that a copy of either of them has ever previously...Rhodes, Dennis E.

An unidentified Italian publisher's device: the knight on oxback
IN November 1891 the British Museum bought from Leo S. Olschki, the bookseller who was at that time established in Venice but later moved to Florence, a small liturgical work in 16mo format without imprint or date, and with the title printed in red as follows (abbreviations resolved): Diurnum Romanum:...Rhodes, Dennis E.

Rembertus Fresen and his writings
THREE small books in the British Library, all printed in northern Germany towards the end of the sixteenth century, are of unusual interest both for their author and for their printers. Unfortunately it has to be confessed that all three were accidentally omitted from the British Museum's Short-title Catalogue of....Rhodes, Dennis E.
