CASSIODORUS, Magnus Aurelius (c.480-c.583). Expositio in Psalterium. Basel: Johann Amerbach, 1491.

First edition of Cassiodorus’ commentary on the Psalms. It is prefaced by a letter to the printer from the humanist Johann Heynlin in which he recognises that its linguistic style may not be in keeping with Renaissance eloquence but asks readers to look beyond style to substance.
