"Reprinted from the edition of Benedictus Hectoris, Bologna, 1495-96 (Hain 12992*), in which, however, the Deprecatoria comes after the Epistolae and the preliminary matter to the Disputationes is prefixed, not appended, to that work. The epitaph and the verses of Cyprian are additional, and so is the letter of Saluiatus to Lorenzo de' Medici (34b) ... Hain (no. 12994*) describes what appears to be another issue of the present edition of the Disputationes, repeating the Bologna colophon unchanged."--BM 15th cent.
