"This volume should contain 40 leaves, sometimes placed at the beginning, sometimes at the end [in Burns Library copy placed at the beginning], with the following title-page in capitals: - 'Orthographia et flexvs dictionvm graecarvm omnivm apvd Stativm cvm accentib. et generib. ex variis vtrivsqve lingvae avtorib.' These 40 pages are dated 'mense novembri. MDII.' This has given rise to the belief of two editions of Statius in 1502". -- Goldsmid. A bibliographical sketch of the Aldine press.
