"Augustinus De ciuitate Dei is the first item of Schedel's list, a position which suggests that a remainder of the 1468 ed. is there referred to rather than the present ed. On the other hand, the price (5 ducats) suits a book of 294 leaves better than one of 274 leaves, and as it has the early form of "r," it must belong to the early part of 1470 and is thus presumably early enough to be included in the list"--BM 15 cent., IV, p. 11.
