Latin Works

Date Author, Work Printer Location Comment
1445-1446 Aelius Donatus, Ars minor Johannes Gutenberg Mainz A very popular text: about 360 editions were printed in the 15th-century, including nine surviving blockbook editions.
c.1455 Bible (Latin) Johannes Gutenberg Mainz Biblia Sacra Vulgata, two editions: 42 line and 36 line, see Gutenberg Bible.
1463 Martinus Bracarensis, Formula vitae honestae Peter Schöffer and Johann Fust Mainz
1465 Cicero, De Officiis and Paradoxa stoicorum Johann Fust Mainz Ulrich Zell may have printed the De Officiis in Cologne (but not the Paradoxa); but the Cologne edition does not bear any indication of date.
1465 Cicero, De Oratore Sweynheym and Pannartz Subiaco This edition was published without date but it is believed to be before September 1465.
1465 Lactantius, De opificio Dei, Divinae Institutiones and De ira Dei Sweynheym and Pannartz Subiaco
c.1465 Augustine, De doctrina christiana Johannes Mentelin Strasbourg This is thought to be the first edition of any of Augustine's works. The volume is incomplete as it has only the last of the four books that make up De doctrina christiana.
1465-1470 Augustine, Confessiones Johannes Mentelin Strasbourg The second edition came out in Milan in 1475, followed by editions in 1482 and 1483. Other two incunable editions came from Strasbourg in 1489 and 1491, but the book was not separately reprinted until 1531.
1466 Rabanus Maurus, De rerum naturis Adolf Rusch Strasbourg
1466-1467 Jerome, Epistulae Sixtus Riessinger Rome Edited by Teodoro de' Lelli. The issue of the editio princeps remains open as the imprint is undated, although believed to be about 1467; thus the 1468 Roman edition of the Epistulae printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz and edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis is also considered a possible first edition. This book is probably the first to have been printed in Rome.
1467 Augustine, De Civitate Dei Sweynheym and Pannartz Subiaco The following year Johannes Mentelin printed in Strasbourg another edition; it offered the earliest textual commentary, by Thomas Valois and Nicholas Trivet. For the next two centuries, the De Civitate was the most often printed of all Augustine's works; 17 editions appeared in the 15th century and eight in the 16th century.
1467 Cicero, Ad familiares Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Sweynheym and Pannartz reprinted it in 1469; Johannes de Spira published a new edition in 1469 in Venice.
1467-1469 Juvenal Udalricus Gallus Rome
c.1468 Gregory the Great, Moralia in Job Berthold Ruppel Basel Undated, it may be earlier than 1468, but not later.
1468 Festus Sixtus Riessinger Rome
1468 Ps.-Lactantius, De Ave Phoenice Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome This is the second edition of the works of Lactantius; it reprints the works of Lactantius and also contains Venantius Fortunatus' Carmen de Pascha and an excerpt from Ovid's Metamorphoses.
1468 Jerome, De viris illustribus Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis together with Jerome's Epistulae.
1469 Cicero, Brutus and Orator Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Printed together with the De Oratore.
1469 Apuleius Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis Together with Apuleius' works, this edition contains the spurious Asclepius and a Latin translation of Epitoma disciplinarum Platonis by Alcinous.
Ps.-Apuleius, Asclepius
1469 Livy Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis. The Rome edition included only Books 1-10, 21-32, 34-39 and a portion of 40. In a 1518 Mainz edition, the rest of Book 40 and part of 33 were published, while in a 1531 Basel edition, Books 41-45 were published, edited by Simon Grynaeus. He had discovered the only surviving manuscript of the fifth decade in 1527 while searching in the Lorsch Abbey in Germany. In 1616 the remaining part of Book 33 was published in Rome, by which all extant Livy had reached print.
Periochae
1469 Lucan Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis
1469 Virgil Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis. Together with the three standard Virgilian works, Busi included the Appendix Vergiliana and Donatus' Vita Vergilii. He also included the Priapeia, then attributed to Virgil.
Priapeia
Appendix Vergiliana
Aelius Donatus, Vita Vergilii
1469 Julius Caesar Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis.
1469 Pliny the Elder Johannes de Spira Venice
1469 Cicero, Tusculanae Disputationes Udalricus Gallus Rome
1469 Aulus Gellius Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis
1469-1470 Terence Johannes Mentelin Strasbourg This is disputed, as others believe that the Venetian edition printed by Vindelinus de Spira may come first.
1469-1470 Persius Udalricus Gallus Rome
c.1470 Isidore, Sententiae Johann Sensenschmidt Nuremberg Undated, it was not printed after April 1470.
c.1470 Isidore, De Fide Catholica contra Iudaeos Georgius Herolt Rome
c. 1470 Ambrose, De Officiis Ministrorum Ulrich Zell Cologne
1470 Priscian Vindelinus de Spira Venice Edited by Benedetto Brugnolo.
c.1470 Statius, Thebais and Achilleis Rome
1470 Augustine, Sermones Cologne This edition is made of 50 sermons. The complete works of Augustine by the Maurists printed in 1683: 394 sermons, of which 364 are believed to be Augustinian; further discoveries have added 175 sermons to these. Among the main recent discoveries, Germain Morin in 1917 added 34 sermons, from the Codex Guelferbytani; Dom André Wilmart in 1921-1930 added 15 sermons from the Codex Wilmart; Dom Cyrille Lambot found 24 new sermons, seven in fragments, in the Codex Lambot. The last major discovery was made in 1990, when François Dolbeau discovered in Mainz a manuscript with 26 sermons.
c.1470 Cicero, Philippicae Udalricus Gallus Rome Edited by Johannes Antonius Campanus.
c.1470 Cicero, De finibus bonorum et malorum Cologne
c.1470 Gregory the Great, Regula Pastoralis Cologne
c.1470 Cicero, De Legibus Venice
1470 Sallust, Bellum Catilinae and Bullum Iugurthinum Vindelinus de Spira Venice In the same year an edition of Sallust was also printed in Paris.
1470 Cornelius Nepos, Vita Attici Nicolaus Jenson Venice Nepos' biography was joined together with Cicero's Epistulae ad Quintum Fratrem, Ad Atticum and Ad Brutum.
1470 Suetonius, De Vita Caesarum Johannes Philippus de Lignamine Rome Edited by Johannes Antonius Campanus.
1470 Quintilian Johannes Philippus de Lignamine Rome Edited by Johannes Antonius Campanus. In the same year and always in Rome was printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz and edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis another edition, so it's not beyond doubt that Campanus' edition is really the editio princeps. Regarding the quality of the respective works there is no uncertainty of the superior quality of Campanus' edition.
1470 Cicero, De Inventione Nicolaus Jenson Venice
c. 1470 Servius, Commentarii in Vergilii opera Udalricus Gallus Rome With 125 editions between 1470 and 1599 this was the most popular Virgilian commentary of the early modern age.
1470 Rhetorica ad Herennium Nicolaus Jenson Venice
1470 Justin Nicolaus Jenson Venice
1470 Cicero, Epistulae ad Brutum, Ad Quintum fratrem, and Ad Atticum Nicolaus Jenson Venice There are good chances that this publication is preceded by the edition in the same year of Cicero's letters printed in Rome by Sweynheym and Pannartz and edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis Thus, they are generally considered both editiones principes.
c.1470 Tacitus, Historiae, Annales, Germania and Dialogus Vindelinus de Spira Venice This edition only has books 11-16 of the Annales. Books 1-6 were rediscovered in 1508 in the Corvey Abbey (now in Germany) and brought to Rome. There they were printed by Étienne Guillery in 1515 together with the other books of the Annales while the edition was prepared by Filippo Beroaldo.
c.1470 Horace Italy
c.1470 Leo the Great, Sermones and Epistulae Johannes Philippus de Lignamine Rome Undated. The volume in the same year in Rome was printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz another edition, so there is some ambiguity regarding which is the real editio princeps. In either case, the editor appears to have always been Joannes Andreas de Buxis. Both the editions are incomplete as they present 92 of Leo's 96 extant sermons and just 5 of his 173 surviving letters.
c.1470 Ilias Latina Utrecht The Dutch edition only printed excerpts for a total of 500 of the 1070 lines that compose the Ilias Latina. The first complete edition was instead printed by Filippo di Pietro in Venice in c.1476.
c.1470 Ps.-Aurelius Victor, De Viris Illustribus Sixtus Riessinger Naples Undated and without location, the book could also have been printed in Rome. The edition omits 9 lives (Caesar, Octavianus, Cato, Cicero, Brutus, Sextus Pompeius, Marcus Antonius, Cleopatra) that were first published by Andreas Schottus in 1577.
1470-1471 Curtius Rufus Vindelinus de Spira Venice
1470-1471 Sextus Pompeius Festus Georgius Lauer Rome Not the original De verborum significatu but instead the early medieval epitome made by Paulus Diaconus. Edited by Julius Pomponius Laetus, the volume is undated, thus making the issue of priority controversial, as it has been argued that the type used is such that it must be dated 1472. This would put it later than the edition printed by Panfilo Castaldi in Milan in August 1471, which is remarkable for being the first book ever printed in that city. But the first authentic publication of Festus' surviving text came in Milan in 1500, printed by Gabriel Conagus and edited by Johannes Baptista Pius together with Nonius Marcellus and Varro. It was reprinted many times, beginning again in Milan in 1505, in Paris in 1509 and an Aldine edition in Venice in 1513.
1470-1471 Isidore, Synonyma Johann Sensenschmidt Nuremberg 21 editions of the text came out between 1470 and 1566.
1470-1475 Ps.-Dictys Cretensis Ulrich Zell Cologne An ancient Latin translation made by L. Septimius of a lost Greek original.
1470-1475 Nonius Marcellus Georgius Lauer Rome Edited by Julius Pomponius Laetus. An undated edition, the year of print is much debated: often attributed to c. 1470, it has been countered that the printing types used do not precede 1474. Apart from this the text presented is incomplete, as it lacks Book III of De compendiosa doctrina, a lacuna that was repeated in the following Venetian edition printed by Nicolaus Jenson in 1476. This was first printed in 1511 in Pesaro and edited by Johannes Baptista Pius.
1471-1472 Aelius Donatus, Ars Maior Christophorus Valdarfer or Paulus Butzbach and Georgius de Augusta Venice or Verona Book III or De barbarismo had been previously printed separately by an unknown printer in Venice in c. 1471. There is much uncertainty regarding the printer: according to an interpretation it was made by Valdarfer in Venice, according to another by Butzbach and Georgius de Augusta in Verona.
1471 Ps.-Sallust, Invectiva in Ciceronem Vindelinus de Spira Venice These two ancient apocryphal orations were included by Vindelinus in his second edition of Sallust's works. The Venice edition's priority is contested, as the real editio princeps for both texts may be an edition printed in Cologne probably in the same year. Differently from the Venice edition the Cologne edition does not include Catilina and Iugurtha.
Ps.-Cicero, Invectiva in Sallustium
c.1471 Augustine, Epistulae Johannes Mentelin Strasbourg
1471 Cicero, Orationes Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis, a total of 32 speeches were printed.
1471 Cicero, Opera philosophica Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis. While all political and philosophical works were printed this is the editio princeps for, among others, the Academici libri quattuor and the De Natura Deorum.
1471 Cyprian Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis, the successive edition of Cyprian's works was made in Basel in 1520 and edited by Erasmus.
1471 Florus Ulrich Gering, Michael Friburger and Martin Crantz Paris Edited by Robert Gaguin.
1471 Pliny the Younger, Epistulae Christophorus Valdarfer Venice Edited by Ludovico Carbone. The edition does not include all ten books of the Epistulae but only the first seven and the ninth, for a total of 122 letters of the currently existing 375. These were increased to 236 letters in nine books with the publication of the Roman edition in 1490. Still missing was the tenth book, found by Giovanni Giocondo between 1495 and 1500 in the Abbey of St. Victor near Paris. Giocondo made a transcription, as did briefly after another Italian, Pietro Leandro, who once returned from France gave his partial copy of the tenth book to Girolamo Avanzi who prited the new 46 letters in Verona in 1502. For an edition of all Pliny's letters it was necessary to wait 1508, when Aldus Manutius printed in Venice a complete edition taking advantage of the transcript and other plinian manuscripts Giocondo had given him.
1471 Ovid Baldassarre Azzoguidi Bologna Edited by Franciscus Puteolanus. There is some dispute regarding the possibility it may have been preceded by the Roman edition printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, which is without date but thought to be also from 1471.
1471 Eutropius Georgius Lauer Rome
Paulus Diaconus, Historia Romana
1471 Cornelius Nepos, Vitae Imperatorum Nicolaus Jenson Venice
c.1471 Claudian, De raptu Proserpinae Christophorus Valdarfer Venice Being undated its being the editio princeps is not sure and others have mentioned as ed. prin. the also undated incunable that appears in Utrecht in 1473-1475 from printers Nicolaus Ketelaer and Gerardus de Leempt. Successive separate editions of the text came from Rome in c.1475, printed by Johann Schurener; Ferrara, c.1480; Naples, also c.1480, printed by Mattias von Olmütz; Perugia, c.1481, printed by Stephan Arndes; Rome, 1483, printed by Marcellinus Verardus; Leipzig, c.1495, printed by Konrad Kachelofen. The last of the incunable editions came out in in Milan in 1500 by the humanist Janus Parrhasius, who gave the text its first commentary. In other four editions (1482, 1493, 1495, 1500) the De raptu Proserpinae was published in Claudian's complete works.
1471 Orosius, Historiarum Adversum Paganos Libri VII J. Schüssler Augsburg
1471 Pomponius Mela Panfilo Castaldi Milan While the press was owned by Castaldi he seems to have had limited himself to an organizational role while the everyday activity was done by his associates Gabriele Orsoni and Fortunato and Antonius Zarotus.
1471 Martial Andreas Gallicus Ferrara The priority issue is highly controversial. The Roman undated edition printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz should be have printed in c.1470-1471 and is often thought to be theeditio princeps; also, there is a Venetian edition that is possibly the first printed edition. The Ferrara edition does not include the Liber de Spectaculis, which is instead present in the Roman and Venetian incunables.
1471 Silius Italicus Sweynheym and Pannartz Rome Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis that published together Silius Italicus, Calpurnius and Hesiod. To this have been added 58 newly found lines published by J. Constantius in 1508.
Calpurnius
Nemesianus, Eclogae
c.1471 Boethius, De Consolatione Philosophiae Hans Glim Savigliano Undated, others have suggested it to be of c.1474. This would make the editio princeps an incunable that came out in
1471-1472 Varro, De lingua latina Georgius Lauer Rome Edited by Julius Pomponius Laetus
1472 Cassiodorus, Historia Tripartita Johann Schuszler Augsburg

1472 Macrobius, In Somnium Scipionis and Saturnalia Nicolaus Jenson Venice
1472 Cicero, Topica
c.1472 Gregory the Great, Registrum epistularum Gunterius Zainer Augsburg
1472 Cato Maior Nicolaus Jenson Venice Edited by Georgius Merula and Francesco Colucia under the collective title Scriptores rei rusticae. Merula took care of the first three texts to which he also added three glossaries, one for each author; Colucia instead occupied himself of Palladius.
Varro, Rerum Rusticarum libri tres
Columella, De re rustica
Rutilius Taurus Aemilianus Palladius
1472 Lactantius, Epitome Vindelinus de Spira Venice An abridgement written by Lactantius of his Divinae Institutiones. The Venice edition of the Epitome is incomplete, the full text having been first discovered in the royal library of Turin by Christopher Pfaff in 1711 and printed by him the following year in Paris.
1472 Catullus Vindelinus de Spira Venice The three poets were all published together for the first time in a quarto volume. In the volume was also Propertius.
Tibullus
Statius, Silvae
1472 Propertius Federico de' Conti Venice This edition appeared in February and is thought to be probably the first, but the issue is not certain as in Venice also appeared in the same year an edition of Propertius printed by Vindelinus de Spira including Catullus, Tibullus and Statius.
1472 Isidore of Seville, Etymologiae Gunterius Zainer Augsburg The editio princeps is thought to be the first printed volume ever to show a mappa mundi. The other incunable editions were printed in Strasbourg in 1473 by Johannes Mentelin, in Cologne in 1478 by Conrad Winters, in Venice in 1483 by Peter Loslein, in Basel in 1489 by Johannes Amerbach, in Venice in 1493 by Bonetus Locatellus and in Paris in 1499 by Georg Wolf and Thielman Kerver.
1472 Isidore, De natura rerum Gunterius Zainer Augsburg
1472 Aelius Donatus, Commentum in Terentium Venice
1472 Ausonius Bartholomaeus Girardinus Venice Ihe following incunable editions came out in 1490 (Milan; edited by Julius Aemilius Ferrarius and printed by Uldericus Scinzenzeler), 1494, 1496 (Venice; a reissue of Ferrarius reviewed by Hieronymus Avantius) and 1499 (Parma, by Thaddaeus Ugoletus). The editio princeps is incomplete because it used a Z class manuscript, which represents the briefest of the surviving selections and that omits the autobiographical and historical pieces. The first additions came in 1490, when Ferrarius first added an incomplete version of the Ordo urbium nobilium, but little else. In 1499 Ugoletus, who was able to use also a manuscript from the richer Y selection, added for the first time among other works the Mosella and the Ludus septem sapientum.
1472 Faltonia Proba, De laudibus Christi Bartholomaeus Girardinus Venice
c.1473 Lucretius Tomaso Ferrandus Brescia
c.1473 Sidonius Apollinaris Nicolaus Ketelaer and Gerardus de Leempt Utrecht
1473-1474 Suetonius, De grammaticis and De rhetoribus Johann Schurener Rome Edited by Joannes Aloisius Tuscanus. The volume is undated but is known for sure to have been printed between May 1473 and March 1474. It may have been preceded by another undated edition of Suetonius printed in Padua by Bartholomeo da Vardezoccho e Martinus de Septem Arboribus which is generally dated either c.1473 or c.1476.
1473-1474 Vegetius, De Re Militari Utrecht
c.1473 Isidore, Chronica Johannes Philippus de Lignamine Rome An incomplete edition of the chronicle. It will be first printed in its complete form in Turin in 1593, edited by G. de Loaisa.
c.1473 Sedulius, Paschale Carmen Nicolaus Ketelaer and Gerardus de Leempt Utrecht More than 50 editions were made of this text before 1599. The incunable editions were those of Leonard Hutz and Lope Sanz in Salamanca in c. 1496, Pedro Giraldi and Miquel de Planes in Valladolid in 1497, Jakob Thanner in Leipzig in 1499, J. Le Fèvre in Paris in also 1499, Georgius Cocus, Leonard Hutz and Lupus Appentegger in Zaragoza in 1500 and Johann Rosenbach in Tarragona in also 1500.

c.1474 Historia Apollonii regis Tyri Utrecht
1474 Ammianus Marcellinus Georgius Sachsel and Bartholomaeus Golsch Rome Edited by Angelus Sabinus with a dedication to the humanist Niccolò Perotti.

The unprinted books were published together with the others in 1533 in two different editions, one in Augsburg edited by Mariangelus Accursius and printed by Silvanus Otmar, the other in Basel edited by Sigismund Gelenius and printed by Hieronymus Froben.

c.1475 Disticha Catonis Martin Flach Basel
1475 Seneca, Dialogi, De beneficiis, De Clementia and Epistulae morales ad Lucilium Matthias Moravus Naples The first complete edition of Seneca's philosophical works. Due to a confusion between the son and the father the volume also includes Seneca the Elder's widely known epitomized version composed of excerpts from his Suasoriae et Controversiae; the complete surviving text was printed in 1490 in Venice by Bernardinus de Cremona together with the younger Seneca. Also in the edition is Publilius Syrus, whose Sententiae are in the so-called Proverbia Senecae. The mistake was corrected in 1514 by Erasmus when the latter published in Southwark in 1514 an edition of Publilius that is generally considered to be the real editio princeps. Erasmus was followed in Leipzig in 1550 by Georg Fabricius, who also added twenty new sentences to the print.

Famous quotes containing the words latin and/or works:

    “In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The works of the great poets have never yet been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them. They have only been read as the multitude read the stars, at most astrologically, not astronomically.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
