Extract

The treatise called Pictor in Carmine is notable as containing the largest known collection of types and antitypes intended to be used by artists. I have often called attention to it, and for many years have been on the look-out for its occurrence in manuscripts, in the hope that I might ultimately be able to produce an edition of the whole text. Whether that may yet see the light I do not know; it is a work of considerable bulk, and perhaps hardly merits a great expenditure of time and print, but comparatively few pages will suffice to give a conspectus of the contents and character of the book.
