MAIUS, Junianus (c.1435-1493). De priscorum proprietate verborum. Treviso: Bernardus de Colonia, 1477.

Second edition of one of the earliest printed Latin dictionaries. Maius was an ardent promoter of the elegant use of Latin, a major concern of the Humanists; this work was used in the classes of Angelo Poliziano and became a chief source for Calepinus's dictionary. The first of only three books printed by Bernardus of Cologne, who had previously worked under the Mathias Moravus, who published the first edition in Naples and whose encomium in the dedication is preserved here.
