II.

[Guilelmus de Saliceto, De salute corporis, and Johannes de Turrecremata, De salute animae, printed in the Netherlands, not later than 1472.]

A printed tract of 11 leaves (the blank first leaf lost), 36 lines to a page.

In presenti codice continentur duo singulares et perutiles tractatus quorum primus est de salute corporis etc. by Will. de Saliceto. The second is de salute anime by Card. de Turre Cremata.

No date or place. Mr F. Jenkinson, University Librarian, tells me that it is by the Printer of the Speculum Humanae Saluationis, perhaps at Utrecht, not later than 1472.

Not in Hain: see Campbell, Annales de la Typographic Néerlandaise, no. *1493: Proctor's Index, no.8830. [ISTC is00029500. GW M39452. The remaining portions of this edition, comprising Pius II, De remedio amoris and Latin epitomes of Homer, are lacking]

On the last page are scribbles in Flemish, and a form of bond (without names) dated 10 March, 17 Hen. 8.
