The word 'concordance', as title of an alphabetical list of all the words in the Bible to references, seems to have been first used by Hugo de Sancto Claro, whose concordance of the Vulgate was produced about 1244 and printed with modifications in 1479.

Interspersed among the canonical books of the Old Testament in the Latin Vulgate Bible are contain additional books and chapters. It is to these that Prostestant usage generally assigns the town "Apocrypha." In English versions the Apocrypha are usually presented as 15 separate books.

I Esdras, II Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Additions to the Book of Esther, The Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus, Baruch, Epistole to Jeremiah, The Prayer of Azariah and the Song of the 3 Young Men, Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, The Prayer of Manasseh, The First Book of Maccabees, The Second Book of Maccabees.

Philippus Pincius (Venice) - 1490 to end of century. A. Sabellieus - Professor of eloquence at Venice in 1494 + distinguished alike as historian, antiquarian + classicist - prominent humanist. Book Six (389-367 B.C.) - The execution of M. Manlius Capitolinus. - A major problem for the early printers was the distribution of their books. The most important centers of printing, therefore, are to be found in the great trading cities, and, anove all, in Venice. Venice in the 15th C was not unlike England in her greater days: governed by an oligarchy, with traditions of independence + a comparative freedom from the Inquisition that favoured the expression of thought. The Venetians had worked out banking systems, double-entry book-keeping + the technique fo commerce when most Britians were living in mud huts. Here printing 1st really developed as a business, + about presses had been founded by 1500. Books VI-XV deal with the subjugation of Italy before the conflict with Carthage. - many of the smaller woodcuts (those signed F) had been specially made for the version in Italian, printed in 1493 + were used in this ed. Other cuts (signed b or .b.) were borrowed from Giunt's Malermi Bible.

Livy's History of Rome (Ab urbe condita libri) was in 142 books + covered Roman history from the arrival of Aeneas in Italy to the death of Drusus, brother of emperor Tiberius in 9 BC. Of Livy's immence work only 35 books survive I-X (753-293 BC), XXI-XLV (219-167BC), but summaries exist of all but one of his books. The division of the whole work into Decades is not altested before the 5c AD although it may have been done by the book publishers of the 4th C. - Book VI would be memorable even if it contained nothing more than the execution of M. Manlius. THat he should be identified with the saviour of the Capitol + thrown from the Tarpeish Rock - within sight of his valiant exploit - are details which contribute to the framatic effect what they subtract from historic truth. But there are other excellent things, such as the thrilling tale about the dawning of a sister's (jealousy which had momentous political issues in the Licinian rogations. W. Durant - In 384 Marcus Manlius who had heroically defended Rome against the Gauls, was put to death on the charge of plotting to be king after he had spent his fortune relieving insolvent debtors. - Marco Antonio Coccio, known as Sabellicus (1436-1506) humanist, historian + Librarian of St. Marks 1st published his great modern history "Rapsodiae Historiarum Enneadum" in 1498; in 1504 he added a 2nd part, including references to the discovery of America. -1st Latin illust. ed. - justly considered one of the most beautiful incumabula not only of Venice but all of Italy.
