Dedicatory letters by Aldus Manutius: to Ioannes Pontanus at beginning of the Sylvae; to Marcus Musurus at beginning of the Orthographia.
"This volume should contain 40 leaves, sometimes placed at the beginnning, sometimes at the end, with the following title-page in capitals: -- 'Orthographia et flexvs dictionvm graecarvm omnivm apvd Stativm cvm accentib. et generib. ex variis vtrivsqve lingvae avtorib.' These 40 pages are dated 'mense novembri. MDII.' This has given rise to the belief of two editions of Statius in 1502." -- Goldsmid. A bibliographical sketch of the Aldine press.
Includes the "Orthographia" which precedes the main work and has title: Orthographia et flexvs dictionvm graecarvm omnivm apvd Stativm cvm accentib. et generib. ex variis vtrivsqve lingvae avtorib.
