Printed in 1:108R with a Greek type.
Collation: [1⁴; 2-3¹⁰ 4-11⁸/¹⁰ 12-14⁸ 15⁶ 16-17¹⁰ 18-19⁸; 20¹⁰ 21-23⁸; 24-25⁸ 26-27⁶]: 224 leaves, leaf [2]/1 blank.
Paper format: Chancery folio
Commentary by Pseduo-Acron and Pomponius Porphyrio. Edited by Johannes Aloisius Tuscanus.
According to Sheppard, the type has two forms of & as used in signed work of de Wila (Rhetorica ad Herennium, 1474, GW 6713) but not by Bartholomaeus Guldinbeck. P. Scapecchi in The Library, 12 (1990), pp. 53-55 suggests that this edition may be that mentioned by de Lignamine in the preface to Cavalca, Pungi lingua (1472) as having been published by him (see BMC IV 31).
