According to Renouard there is another copy "en grand papier" of
this edition "dans
la bibliothèque Brera de Milan".
However, as the Director of the Biblioteca Braidense, Milan,
kindly informs me, the height of their copy is 161 mm.
This copy, together with other copies of works by Cicero in the
same library (see en-
tries 43 and 47), belongs to a group of
Aldine octavos of works by Cicero bound in a uniform
manner.
The first four volumes of the group are royal-paper copies of
Cicero's Rhetorica ad
Herrenium (1
vol.) and of his Orationes (3 vols), both
published in 1554, and so outside the scope
of this article
(see Ahmanson-Murphy, pp. 279-281). They witness to the
continuation in the
Aldine press after 1550 of the practice
of printing royal-paper copies of octavo editions.
Another copy "en grand papier" which, according to Renouard, had
been given to "la
Bibliothèque de Trévise",
cannot now be found. I am grateful to Dr. Mariachiara Mazzariol,
who searched the libraries of Treviso on my behalf for this
volume, but in vain.
