Adam I 39

BM 110, col. 921

Getty copy lacks first leaf with t.p., but it is described as 3rd ed. on *2v, and the two imprimaturs for the present ed. there reproduced are dated 1572. It might therefore be from the separate ed. of parte primera published in Salamanca by Domingo de Portonaris, 1573; see Palau y Dulcet. The signing, however, corresponds exactly to that of v. 1 of the ed. of the first two pts. of 1578; see Adam, from whom the imprint is taken. Title from BM.

Binding: later sheepskin. Boards (detached) tooled in blind along edges. Spine title in gilt: HISTORIA / PONTIFICAL / 1.
