the Codex x-xii is placed between the Novellae and the Consuetudines,
thus removing the colophon from its natural place at the end of the
volume. In the first edition of these works, printed by Vitus Puecher,
Rome, 1476, they were placed in the order last named, but the colophon
was there attached to the Consuetudines.

After the death of his father-in-law and partner Fust, late in 1466 or
early in 1467, Schoeffer conducted the press alone until his death in
1502. After 1478, however, his activity as a printer was much
diminished.

The present large and fine copy (leaf 15-3/4 × 11-1/4 in.), with the
manuscript signatures still in part preserved, is from the library of
Sir John Hayford Thorold (1773-1831) of Syston Park, Lincolnshire, sold
in December, 1884. In the Meerman sale at the Hague, 1824, this same
copy, bound as at present in russia gilt, sold for 64 florins.
