Notes: Published anonymously. The author of the Modus legendi abbreviaturas, Wernherus of Schussenried, has embedded his name in an acrostic beginning with line 5 (not counting the running title) of p. 50 and decipherable for the next 3 pages, after which editing or corruption of the original text has destroyed all meaning. Cf. Victor Scholderer's "The author of the 'Modus legendi abbreviaturas,'" in the Library (London), 3rd ser., v. 2 (1911), p. 181-182.
This ed. and Paolo Ugolino's, also published at Venice in the same year, represent, between themselves, almost a page-for-page resetting of type.
The Modus legendi abbreviaturas was first published ca. 1475 in Strassburg.
The Flores legum has caption title (p. 128): Flores legum secundum ordinem alphabeti / cum additionibus & concordantijs doctorum per D. Lucium Paulum Rosellum ... denuo recognitis & additis. In the colophon it is titled: Flores legum, aut, Congeries authoritatum iuris ciuilis, in quo authoritates ordinantur secundum ordinem alphabeti.
