page 108 note b The Cornucopie, a commentary on the De Spectaculis and first book of the Epigrams of Martial, was published in 1489 by the nephew of Perottus, though Vergil gets the credit of having collated it with a MS. and corrected it (Ellis's Preface, p. xix.) Of this work there were several editions. That of 1496 was printed at Venice by Joannes de Tridino, who afterwards printed editions both of the Proverbs and of the History of Inventions of Vergil himself. In the British Museum are copies of the 1496 and 1498 editions. That of 1496 is the finer book. The other omits certain addresses and verses, and is a quite inferior reprint by Ulrich Scinzenzeler at Milan. Perottus fills a place in the history of classical and Italian learning; for details reference may be made to Niceron, , Mémoires, Paris, 1729, ix. p. 374Google Scholar; Heeren, , Geschichte des Studiums der classischen Litteratur, Göttingen, 1801, ii. pp. 272–74Google Scholar; Tiraboschi, , Storia della Letteratura Italiana, Firenze, 1809, vi. p. 1099Google Scholar; Graesse, , Literärgeschichte, Dresden, 1843, II. iii. pp. 695–97Google Scholar; Voigt, , Die Wiederbelebung des classischen Alterthums, Berlin, 1881, ii. 134Google Scholar.
