Bibliography for volume

PoXBo, sub no. 1486.

Front pastedown provides De Officiis, III.xlv-xlvii, the lower left corner of a leaf from the Mainz 1466 printing on parchment: ISTC ic00576000; this copy is noted by David Shaw on the Material Evidence in Incunabula website. Two other fragments, presumably from the same copy, were sold by Quaritch, Incunabula, catalogue 1111 (1991), no. 23. Both are now in private hands. One of those fragments has marks from a chain-staple in a style and with measurements commensurate with those found on the books of Magdalen College, Oxford.
