Date 1515 Place Basileæ [Basel] Publisher Io. Frob. [Johann Froben] Contributor John Colet Johann Froben Note CONTENT: Edited by Erasmus, with a prefatory epistle by John Colet. Cf. Brit. Mus. Cat. WOODCUTS: The title border is in the distinctive style of prolific woodcut artist and engraver Urs Graf (1485-c.1527), with his monogram inscribed on a slate hanging from the left-hand column, first used in Froben’s edition of Erasmus’ Moriae encomium published a few months earlier. Graf’s border was based on a design by Albrecht Dürer for Willibald Pirckheimer’s translation of Plutarch two years previously (Nuremberg, 1513) and, in turn, the block for this border was reused by Froben and copied by other printers.
