"The letter of Sabellicus to Cornarius on 17a, with its mention of "Barnardinus Herasmius Nouocomensis" as the promoter, takes this edition back to that of 1491 (Hain *10137), where, however, the letter and notes of Sabellicus are placed at the beginning; here they follow the letter of Bishop Andreae to Pope Paul II, the Epitome of Florus, and Livy's own proem."--BM 15th cent.
