 1822. There are copies on LARGE PAPER. It is a work in all respects
worthy of the high reputation of its author. A _Supplement_ to it--of
books printed UPON VELLUM in _other_ public, and many distinguished
_private_ libraries, appeared in 1824, 8vo. 3 vols.--with two additional
volumes in 1828. These volumes are the joy of the heart of a thorough
bred Bibliographer.] [44] The measurement is necessarily confined to the
leaves--_exclusively_ of the binding. [45] See the Art. "_Roman de

Artaria at Manheim.] [51] Nine years ago I obtained a fac-simile of this
memorandum; and published an Essay upon the antiquity of the date of the
above Bible, in the _Classical Journal_, vol. iv. p. 471-484. of Mr.
J.A. Valpy. But latterly a more complete fac-simile of it appeared in
the Catalogue of Count M'Carthy's books. [52] "_Iste liber illuminatus,
ligatus & completus est per Henricum Cremer vicariu ecclesie sancti
Stephani Maguntini sub anno dni Millesimo quatringentesimo quinquagesimo
