[title page missing] (in the colophon: Albert Pafraet, 1518, [Deventer, Netherlands]) A very rare edition in Gothic type, printed in Deventer, of this textbook devoted to the teaching of rhetoric and logic. It was written at the request of Jean Colet (1467–1519) for the students of St. Paul’s School in London.

A tear with no loss, restored on the last leaf; slight foxing. Small loss at the top cap; stains on the spine. Gothic quarto, 42 leaves. Provenance: Du Plessis Villoutreys Library, with a coat-of-arms bookplate bearing the motto “Say little, do better.”
