medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Colman,
See below for some suggestions on the Latin side:
> Latin
>
> Tria volumina operas sancti Anthonini (Antoninus of Florence?)
Almost certainly A. of Florence, whose four-part _Summa theologica_ was
printed in three physical volumes by several printers from 1479-80 to at
least 1485. The earl's library may have had one of these or else vols.
1-3 of the four-volume edition put out by various printers in the 1490s
and early 1500s.
> Opus Cornelii Vitelli poete
The author is certainly Cornelius Vitellius (Cornelio Vitelli), c.
1440-ca. 1500, a wandering scholar from Italy who became professor of
poetry at the University of Louvain in 1487. See Etienne Daxhelet,
"Notes sur l'humaniste italien Cornelio Vitelli, professeur a Louvain a
la fin du XVe siecle," _Bulletin de l'Institut Historique Belge de Rome
15 (1935), 83-97, and Roberto Weiss, "Cornelio Vitelli in France and
England," _Journal of the Warburg and Courtauld Institutes_ 2 (1938-39),
219-26.
> De diversitate avium (or 'anime' in the late version)
Sorry, no bright ideas here.
> Caliopinus
Surely the _Dictionarium_ of Ambrosius Calepinus (Ambrogio Calepino), d.
1511. First published in 1502 and several times enlarged, this was the
most frequently printed of all large Latin dictionraries of the
sixteenth century.
> Ortus vocabulorum et medulla gramatici
The _Ortus [ie. Hortus] vocabulorum_ is a late fifteenth-century
Latin-English dictionary, printed at least ten times between 1500 and
1532. Wynken de Worde's 1500 printing was reprinted by The Scolar Press
in 1968 as no. 123 of its series _English Linguistics 1500-1800_.
The _Medulla grammatic(a)e_ (also _Medulla grammatices_) is a
fifteenth-century Latin-English dictionary related to the _Promptorium
parvulorum_ and sometimes cataloged under the latter heading. For a
brief on-line discussion, see:

> Hympni Andree poete
Sorry, nothing comes to mind here.
Best,
John Dillon
