FIFTEENTH CENTURY
ENGLISH BOOKS
A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF BOOKS AND DOCUMENTS
PRINTED IN ENGLAND AND OF BOOKS
FOR THE ENGLISH MARKET
PRINTED ABROAD

By E. GORDON DUFF

PRINTED FOR THE BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY
AT THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
1917

NOTE
The work here printed has been growing up in the note-books of Mr. Gordon
Duff for nearly thirty years, and is mainly based on his own first-hand collations
of books in libraries scattered all over the country. But while the bulk of the
work was already done when Mr. Duff consented to its publication by the Society,
some books still remained to be described, and the titles written out at various
times were naturally not of uniform fullness. Much has been done in completing
his material by Mr. Duff himself, but at the request of the Council, and with
Mr. Duff's consent, Mr. Henry Thomas, Litt.D., of the British Museum, has given
help of great value in describing some of the omitted books, extending the shorter
titles, and selecting specimens of types for the facsimiles. This work has all
been done in communication with Mr. Duff and under his control, b ut it is right
that Mr. Thomas's share should be fully noted, both because of the debt which
the Society owes him for it, and because it has introduced an element into the
work for which Mr. Duff is only partly responsible.
In addition to the thanks due to Mr. Duff and Mr. Thomas the Society is
indebted to numerous private collectors and owners of libraries for lending or
giving other facilities for the examination of their books.
The gratitude of the Society is also due to His Majesty's Government for the
grant of the sum of One Hundred Pounds from the Special Service Fund as
a contribution to the cost of completing and producing this book. After all that
has happened in the intervening years it seems one of the smaller ironies of history
that the privilege of publishing a work which must be taken as the foundation-
stone of any future attempt at a national bibliography was obtained for the Society
as a result of its efforts to co-operate with the German Commission for a General
Catalogue of Incunabula in 191 2-1 3. An article in The Times drew Mr. Asquith's
attention to the desirability of this country registering its own fifteenth-century
books as a contribution to the larger work, and elicited the grant, which has
enabled the book to be fully illustrated. ALFRED W. POLLARD, Hon. Sec.

PREFACE

The task on which the compiler of the present book set out, light-heartedly,
some twenty-eight years ago, was at first limited to a short description and collation
of all known English fifteenth-century books, to be collected from the various
bibliographical works and the catalogues of public and private libraries. It soon
became apparent that this simple object was beset with difficulties. Books printed
by Caxton had been more or less fully described by Blades in his Life and
Typography of William Caxton, but there were no special studies on the books from
other presses, and in the description of single books the different bibliographers
rarely agreed.
Gradually, as opportunity occurred, their accounts were corrected from the
originals in the British Museum, the Bodleian, and the Cambridge University
Library. In the meanwhile a more ambitious plan took shape. The descriptions
of bibliographers were to be ignored, and every available book personally examined
and described. As opportunity offered, the books in our three great libraries were collated
afresh and on a more detailed plan. Next, the libraries in Scotland, those of the
University, the Faculty of Advocates, and the Writers to the Signet at Edinburgh,
the Hunterian Museum at Glasgow, and the University Libraries of Aberdeen and
St. Andrews were visited. Finally the College Libraries of Oxford and Cambridge,
some of the Cathedral Libraries, and semi-public collections like that at Bamburgh
Castle were laid under contribution. The Spencer collection, transferred to Manchester
in 1893, and the Bennett Library, added to Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan's collections,
afforded much additional matter, while some very scarce early books were seen in
other American libraries.
By the kindness of private owners many books, of which there were no
examples in any of the public libraries, were made available for examination.
From the examination of so many books certain date-tests were evolved — the
breaks and changes in woodcuts and devices, and the introduction or modification
of types, by means of which many of the undated books could be more accurately
placed. This entailed a fresh examination of the books and more journeys to
many of the libraries. vii

When the first proofs of the book were struck off the descriptions were as
far as possible checked and corrected with the books themselves, and the verification
of all the small details was only brought to a close by the rigid restrictions on the
access to books made necessary by the war.
During all this period fresh discoveries were being made, and it is calculated
that during the last twenty years some fifty-four books, or, in most cases, fragments
of books, so far unknown, have come to light. It is wonderful by how slender
a chance the existence of many of our early English books has been preserved.
Roughly speaking, one half of the books here chronicled are now known only
from single copies, from a leaf or two, or even from fragments of a leaf. The sole
remains of The Ghost of Guy, a quarto printed by Pynson early in his career, are
two small strips of paper with portions of four lines of verse on either side.
Another of Pynson's early quartos, the Seven Wise Masters of Rome, is repre
sented by two leaves. The majority of such fragments have been recovered from
old bindings where they have been used to line the boards, or pasted together to
make the boards themselves. From this source it is to be hoped that there are still
new discoveries to be made.
Certain other books, of which no traces now remain, can be proved with
reasonable probability to have once existed. When we find scattered in various
books odd woodcuts which manifestly belong to a series intended to illustrate
a particular book, we are justified in supposing that that book was printed. In
a number of books De Worde used cuts belonging to sets illustrating Reynard
the Fox and the Seven Wise Masters of Rome. No trace of fifteenth-century
editions have been found, but we are justified in supposing that they were printed.
Again, certain books were issued in pairs : the Pars Hiemalis and Pars
Estiualis of the Breviary, the Expositio Hymnorum and Expositio Sequentiarum,
Garlandia's Synonyma and Equiuoca, and, very frequently, the Liber Festiualis and
Quattuor Sermones, Where the one half exists, the former existence of the other
half may be presumed. There is one class of document here chronicled in which
many new discoveries may be hoped for, the Bulls, Proclamations, and Indulgences,
printed on one side of a single sheet. They were ephemeral publications, soon
out of date and invalid, and, having a blank side, lent themselves admirably to the
purpose of lining bindings. Even when preserved as documents they are not to
be sought for in a library, but stowed away in charter-chests and muniment-rooms,
where it is probable that many still lie unnoticed.
In the present volume the single sheet woodcuts and Images of Pity have not
been included as being rather outside its scope, but it is hoped that they may be
described and reproduced at some future date.
viii

With regard to the typographical index at the end of the volume a word or
two of explanation are necessary. Owing to the large number of books known only
from imperfect copies or fragments, the types used in them are not ascertainable, and
the list is therefore so far incomplete. Again, as regards the measurements, given
in millimetres, of twenty lines of type. These are as far as possible the measure
ments of the type as normally used, but it is clear that almost all the early English
printers well understood what is now called ' leading ', that is, producing a greater
space between the lines by inserting slips of metal, so that we find the same type
often with two, sometimes with three, different measurements.
At the end of the description of each book a list is given of the libraries, public
and private, where copies are preserved. In the case of books printed by Caxton,
when more than four or five copies are known, only those in the four most acces
sible libraries are mentioned ; for the remainder the reader is referred to M. de
Ricci's Census of Caxtons [Bibliographical Society's Illustrated Monographs XV].
Occasionally some copies not mentioned by de Ricci have been noted.
The asterisk denotes that the copies so marked have been examined by the
author, and in the case of those in the British Museum by Dr. Thomas as well,
who also made the collations and descriptions of some unique books from private
libraries lent for examination to the Museum.
To Dr. Thomas very special thanks are due for assisting in every possible
way in the production of the present book. Besides correcting and amplifying the
notices of Museum books and describing special copies, he has, during the whole
of the printing, read and revised the proofs, and made many valuable suggestions
and improvements. The author gratefully thanks all the librarians and owners of books who
have allowed him to examine the books under their charge. In the case of
Cathedral and College Libraries these facilities were often afforded at considerable
inconvenience, but with unfailing kindness. Private owners also have most
generously made their treasures available.
Special thanks are due to M. Polain of the BIbllotheque Nationale, Mr. A. C.
de Burgh of Trinity College, Dublin, and Mr. E. V. Stocks of Durham University,
for detailed Information regarding certain books. E. G. D.

following edition, which ends with signature m. As
the Vulgaria Terentiiby these printers (No. 393) begins
on signature n, it was not printed to supplement this
edition. As signature di contains aporiion of Pari II, [diiii]

*jf* No copy of this first editionis known which has
either the beginning or the end. The second edition
is apage for page reprint, so that the collation of the
two editions was most probably the same, though in
the first edition the last page was no doubt blank as
Caxton had not then any device. The first edition
may be known at once from the second by the head
lines which throughout the greater part of the book
run in the first Ca. and in the second Capitulum. The
two editions vary considerably in^Jhe spelling as may
be seen from the following passage at the beginning
of leaf 4f (f iii).

book was printed before November Z492. The leaf in
the Bodleian, which was used to line the binding of
a book, has the following inscription ' Thys Booke was
Boght by me Thomas Gryffyth the Second Day off

the binding of a copy of Pynson's Dives and Pauper,

issued about the same time. They are from near the
end of the book as they belong to the service for the

This book was reprinted by Wynkyn de Worde in

Z334 it was again reprinted by William. Copland, who
has preserved Caxton's interesting prologue, from.
which we learn that the work was translated from the
French by the printer himself, at the request and com
mandment of the right noble and virtuous Earl, John

*j,* This book was first noted by Denis in his
supplement to Maittaire, and he quotes it on the
authority of the catalogue of the Royal Library,
Vienna. Beloe (Anecdotes, vol. v, pp. 233-260) describes
a copy which he had seen in the Bishop of Ely's
library, and states definitely that it had Pynson's
device on the first leaf. It is most probable, however.

that he had confused the devices of Pynson and Le
Talleur, which are not unlike, and that the edition
he saw was that printed by the latter, of which there
are copies in the British Museutn, at Chatsworth, and
at Rouen.

*^* A comparison with Copland's undated edition
shows that this edition was mainly, if not entirely,
made up of quires of eight leaves, and that the present
leaves are the first, seventh, and eighth of quire I.
These leaves were discovered in z86o by E. F. B. in
the binding of a copy of Maydeston's Directorium
sacerdotum printed by Pynson in Z30Z [Notes and
Queries, 2ndSer. X. 46]. Only two copies of this book
are known, one in Ripon Cathedral, the other in the
British Museum, so that it is almost certain the leaves
came from the binding of the latter.

INDULGENCES
Indulgences were issued either for one beneficiary
(single issue) or for several (plural issue). They were
mostly or always printed in sheets, with two variant
settings-up on each half sheet, which have usually been
divided for separate use. Besides the Indulgences
issued to the laity, Licences to the clergy for granting
absolution in cases usually reserved for a Bishop or the
Pope were also printed.

in the original binding of a copy of Caxton's Royal

They were used to line the front board of the binding,
and there were signs that two others had been originally
pasted on the other board. When the volume was sold
in Z902 these indulgences were removed and sold
separately. The British Museum copy has lost three
lines at the top, the other the last ten or twelve letters

were found in the binding of a copy of the Biblia Latina
cum postillis, printed by Paganinus de Paganinis at
Venice in Z493 [Proctor 3Z70]. The binding of brown
calf, early sixteenth-century work, was tooled with the
roll of an English binder, with his initiods L. V. L.
and his mark.
All the copies of the Indulgence, though unused, had
had the seal placed on them and the sign of the notary

*t'' It is very difficult to determine whether this is
really a product of the press of Machlinia, or whether
it was not rather printed by Veldener, whose type
seems to be identical with that used by Machlinia. In
the present book the type is singularly fresh and clear,
whereas in most of Machlinia's productions it is
blurred and thick.

book of Z320 as ' Bene fundatum ', ' Bene fundatum

ranging from one penny to twopence. The natne 'vos

Foxgrave. A copy of an edition of this book printed
at Paris, probably before 1300, in the Cambridge
University Library contains manuscript notes relating
to Oxford, while another edition was printed by Peter
Treveris in Z327 for the Oxford bookseller John Dome

George Chastelayn, the Oxford bookseller, an edition
of the grammar called Informatio Puerorum (No. 223)
about the end of the fifteenth century, and in Z306 an
edition of the Principia of Peregrinus de Lugo, so that
the present book may have also been printed for him.

hard to settle whether the first gathering contained
eight or ten leaves. On comparison with other editions
ten seetns the correct number, and this is rendered still
tnore likely by the fact that neither of the two exist
ing leaves, containing March and April, September
and October, has a watermark, and if the gathering
had been in 8 they would have been the two halves of

watermark. The staves only of the music are printed, and the

Wynkyn de Worde, Westminster, n. d.
*^* Though no trace of this book is now known, it
seetns altnost certain that an edition of the book tnust
have been printed in the fifteenth century by Wynkyn
de Worde, A series of woodcuts to illustrate it was
certainly in existence, and we find two at least used in
other books. One is on the first leaf of Lidgate' s The
Horse, the Sheep, and the Goose, and depicts the lion
with crown and sceptre opening the court to try
Reynard [Chapters I-IH]. Another is on the first
leaf of Skelton's Bowge of Court, showing the bear
carrying a letter to Reynard [Chapter VII].
In a private collection [F. Jenkinson] is a fragment
of two leaves of an edition of the book, evidently
printed by Wynkyn de Worde about Z3Z3, and this
contains a third woodcut agreeing absolutely in size
atid workmanship with the other two.

*,* Though no copy or fragment of this edition is
known, there is very little doubt that Wynkyn de
Worde must have issued an edition during the
fifteenth century. He was in possession of a set of the
woodcuts to illustrate it, copies of those in Leeu's
edition of Z490, and some of these he used in his
edition of Legrand' s Book of Good Manners, Z499.
The full set of woodcuts would have numbered eleven.
About Z503 Wynkyn de Worde issued an edition of
the book, and of this there is an imperfect copy in the
British Museum containing seven of the woodcuts, but
wanting woodcuts z, 4, zo, and zz.
