Title from the first of 3 title pages in this ed. (which has a t.p. for each of the 3 separately foliated sections). The contents listed on that t.p. (given in full in BM 15th cent., IB.21143) are only for the contents of the 1st section; the t.p. for the 2nd section lists contents for both 2nd and 3rd section (given by IB.21143); the t.p. for the 3rd section repeats its contents (see IB.21129, describing a version separately issued in 1498 and noting its reissue as part of the present collected ed. of Boethius).
Imprint from colophon at end of 69-leaf section. Colophon at end of 92-leaf section: Impressis Venetiis : Per Ioanne[m] de Forliuio [et] Gregoriu[m] fratres, anno salutis 1497 [i.e. 1498] die x Februarii. The 202-leaf section has no colophon.
Hain, Goff, GW, and IGI each describe copies having the 3 sections arranged in the order indicated in the collation and signatures statements of this record. This order corresponds to the order suggested by the book's register (printed as the last leaf of the 2nd section) and by the wording of its title pages, particularly the 2nd. Pellechet describes a copy which, bound in the order suggested by the printing dates of the sections, reverses the 2nd and 3rd sections. Polain and BM 15th cent. do not describe the ed. as a unit, nor does Copinger, who notices only 2 of the 3 sections (in 1118 and 1124).
