The above is from Zanetti's _Collection of Ialian Novels_, 4 vol. 8vo.
Venet. 1754.
Mezeray, the French historian, translated this work 1640, 4to; and there
is an old French translation of it in 1360 by Denis Soulechat.
The article pasted on the inside of the cover (viz. the following
extract)
"_Surisberiensis (J.) Policraticus, &c., 8vo. L. Bat. 1595; very
scarce, vellum 6s. This book is of great curiosity; it is stated in
the preface that the author, J. of Salibury, was present at the
murther of Thomas a Becket, whose intimate friend he was; and that
'dum pius Thomas ab impio milite cedetur in capite, Johannis hujus
brachium fere simul percisum est_,'"
is from Lilly's Catalogue, and the passage relating to Becket was copied
from that of Payne, to whom I communicated it, and which is found in the
first edition only, being perhaps purposely omitted in all the others.
F.D.
[We believe the majority of the books in Mr. Douce's valuable
library, now deposited in the Bodleian, contain memoranda, like
those in his _John of Salisbury_; and any of our Oxford friends
could not do us a greater service than by communicating other
specimens of the _Book-noting_ of this able and zealous antiquary.]
