Tübingen, (F. Meynberger, 1499)
(Hain-Copinger 3187) and afterwards
at Basle by J. Wolff of Pforzheim in
1508 and 1512. See Bok, Gesch. d. Univ.

Spieras] Ambrose Spiera of Treviso
(+ 14772), of the order of ‘Seruitae’ ;
author (1454) of a Quadragesimale de
floribus sapientie, first printed at Venice,
Wendelin of Spires, 18 Dec. 1476, also
at Basle by J. Wolff of Pforzheim,
26 July 1510 and 8 June 1515. See
Gianius, Annales Fratrum Seruorum,

Bruliferos], Stephen Pillet Bru¬
lifer (ke. r490) was a Franciscan of
St. Malo, and Dr. of Theology at Paris.

tenciary to John xxm at Avignon
1330-40, and wrote there a Compilatio
solennis de planctu ecclesie, in which the
power of the Pope and Cardinals is
dealt with; printed by John Zeiner
of Reutlingen at Ulm, 26 Oct. 1474.
It was doubtless the immense size of
the work which deterred Froben from
a new edition (Ep. 581. 7, 8). See
Trith.! and Chevalier.

Oct. 1517. The translations are mostly
by Italians.
46. castigatorem] Angst; see p. 153.
Four MS. letters from hin. to Boniface
Amerbach at Freiburg exist at Basle
@. IL a4. 214-17), dated 8 May —
