In classical scholarship, editio princeps (plural: editiones principes) is a term of art. It means, roughly, the first printed edition of a work that previously had existed only in manuscripts, which could be circulated only after being copied by hand.
For example, the editio princeps of Homer is that of Demetrius Chalcondyles, now thought to be from 1488. The most important texts of classical Greek and Roman authors were for the most part produced in editiones principes in the years on either side of 1500; the printing press itself was invented around 1440.
In some cases there were possibilities of partial publication, of publication first in translation (for example from Greek to Latin), and of a usage that simply equates with first edition. For a work with several strands of manuscript tradition that have diverged, such as Piers Plowman, editio princeps is a less meaningful concept.
The term has long been extended by scholars to works not part of the Ancient Greek and Latin literatures. It is also used for legal works, and other significant documents.
Date | Author, Work | Printer | Location | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|
c. 1450[1] | Aelius Donatus, Ars minor[1] | Johannes Gutenberg[1] | Mainz[2] | A very popular text: about 360 editions were printed in the 15th-century, including nine surviving blockbook editions.[3] |
c. 1455 | Bible (Latin) | Johannes Gutenberg | Mainz | Biblia Sacra Vulgata, two editions: 42 line and 36 line, see Gutenberg Bible. |

1465[5] | Cicero, De Officiis and Paradoxa stoicorum[5] | Johann Fust[5] | Mainz[5] | Ulrich Zell may have printed the De Officiis in Cologne (but not the Paradoxa); but the Cologne edition does not bear any indication of date.[5] |
1465[5] | Cicero, De Oratore[5] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[5] | Subiaco[5] | This edition was published without date but it is believed to be before September 1465.[5] |
1465[6] | Lactantius, De opificio Dei, Divinae Institutiones and De ira Dei[6] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[6] | Subiaco[6] | |
c. 1465[7] | Augustine, De doctrina christiana[7] | Johannes Mentelin[7] | Strasbourg[7] | This is thought to be the first edition of any of Augustine's works. The volume is incomplete as it has only the last of the four books that make up De doctrina christiana.[7] |
1465–1470[8] | Augustine, Confessiones[8] | Johannes Mentelin[9] | Strasbourg[8] | The second edition came out in Milan in 1475, followed by editions in 1482 and 1483. Other two incunable editions came from Strasbourg in 1489 and 1491, but the book was not separately reprinted until 1531.[10] |
1466[11] | Rabanus Maurus, De rerum naturis[11] | Adolf Rusch[11] | Strasbourg[11] | |
1466–1467[12] | Jerome, Epistulae[12] | Sixtus Riessinger[12] | Rome[12] | Edited by Teodoro de' Lelli. The issue of the editio princeps remains open as the imprint is undated, although believed to be about 1467; thus the 1468 Roman edition of the Epistulae printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz and edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis is also considered a possible first edition.[12][13] This book is probably the first to have been printed in Rome.[14] |
1467[15] | Augustine, De Civitate Dei[15] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[16] | Subiaco[15] | The following year Johannes Mentelin printed in Strasbourg another edition; it offered the earliest textual commentary, by Thomas Valois and Nicholas Trivet.[15] For the next two centuries, the De Civitate was the most often printed of all Augustine's works; 17 editions appeared in the 15th century and eight in the 16th century.[10] |
1467[17] | Cicero, Ad familiares[17] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[17] | Rome[17] | Sweynheym and Pannartz reprinted it in 1469; Johannes de Spira published a new edition in 1469 in Venice.[17] |
1467–1469[18][19] | Juvenal[19] | Udalricus Gallus[19] | Rome[19] | |
c. 1468[20] | Gregory the Great, Moralia in Job[20] | Berthold Ruppel[20] | Basel[20] | Undated, it may be earlier than 1468, but not later.[20] |
1468[21] | Festus[21] | Sixtus Riessinger[21] | Rome[21] | |
1468[22] | Ps.-Lactantius, De Ave Phoenice[22] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[22] | Rome[22] | This is the second edition of the works of Lactantius; it reprints the works of Lactantius and also contains Venantius Fortunatus' Carmen de Pascha and an excerpt from Ovid's Metamorphoses.[22] |
1468[23] | Jerome, De viris illustribus[23] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[24] | Rome[23] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis together with Jerome's Epistulae.[23] |
1469[25] | Cicero, Brutus and Orator[26] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[26] | Rome[25] | Printed together with the De Oratore.[25] |
1469[27] | Apuleius[13][27] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[13] | Rome[27] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis[13] Together with Apuleius' works, this edition contains the spurious Asclepius and a Latin translation of Epitoma disciplinarum Platonis by Alcinous.[28] |
Pseudo-Apuleius, Asclepius[28][29] | ||||
1469[30][31] | Livy[30] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[30] | Rome[30] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis.[13] The Rome edition included only Books 1–10, 21–32, 34–39 and a portion of 40. In a 1518 Mainz edition, the rest of Book 40 and part of 33 were published, while in a 1531 Basel edition, Books 41-45 were published, edited by Simon Grynaeus. He had discovered the only surviving manuscript of the fifth decade in 1527 while searching in the Lorsch Abbey in Germany. In 1616 the remaining part of Book 33 was published in Rome, by which all extant Livy had reached print.[31][32] |

1469[35][36][37] | Virgil[13] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[13] | Rome[35] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis.[13] Together with the three standard Virgilian works, Busi included the Appendix Vergiliana and Donatus' Vita Vergilii. He also included the Priapeia, then attributed to Virgil.[36][37] |

1469[43]-1470[44] | Terence[44] | Johannes Mentelin[43] | Strasbourg[44] | This is disputed, as others believe that the Venetian edition printed by Vindelinus de Spira may come first.[43] |
1469–1470[45] | Persius[45] | Udalricus Gallus[45] | Rome[45] | |
c. 1470[46] | Isidore, Sententiae[46] | Johann Sensenschmidt[46] | Nuremberg[46] | Undated, it was not printed after April 1470.[46] |

1470[55] | Augustine, Sermones[55] | Cologne[55] | This edition is made of 50 sermons. The complete works of Augustine by the Maurists printed in 1683: 394 sermons, of which 364 are believed to be Augustinian; further discoveries have added 175 sermons to these. Among the main recent discoveries, Germain Morin in 1917 added 34 sermons, from the Codex Guelferbytani; Dom André Wilmart in 1921–1930 added 15 sermons from the Codex Wilmart; Dom Cyrille Lambot found 24 new sermons, seven in fragments, in the Codex Lambot. The last major discovery was made in 1990, when François Dolbeau discovered in Mainz a manuscript with 26 sermons.[56] | |
c. 1470[57][58] | Cicero, Philippicae[57] | Udalricus Gallus[57] | Rome[57] | Edited by Johannes Antonius Campanus.[57] |
c. 1470[59] | Cicero, De finibus bonorum et malorum[59] | Cologne[59] | ||
c. 1470[60] | Gregory the Great, Regula Pastoralis[60] | Cologne[60] | ||
c. 1470[59] | Cicero, De Legibus[59] | Venice[59] | ||
1470[61] | Sallust, Bellum Catilinae and Bullum Iugurthinum[62] | Vindelinus de Spira[61][62] | Venice[61] | In the same year an edition of Sallust was also printed in Paris.[61] |
1470[63] | Cornelius Nepos, Vita Attici[63] | Nicolaus Jenson[63] | Venice[63] | Nepos' biography was joined together with Cicero's Epistulae ad Quintum Fratrem, Ad Atticum and Ad Brutum.[63][64] |
1470[65] | Suetonius, De Vita Caesarum[66] | Johannes Philippus de Lignamine[66] | Rome[65] | Edited by Johannes Antonius Campanus.[26][65] |
1470[67][68] | Quintilian[67] | Johannes Philippus de Lignamine[66] | Rome[68] | Edited by Johannes Antonius Campanus. In the same year and always in Rome was printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz and edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis another edition, so it's not beyond doubt that Campanus' edition is really the editio princeps. Regarding the quality of the respective works there is no uncertainty of the superior quality of Campanus' edition.[66][68][69] |
1470[64] | Cicero, De Inventione[64] | Nicolaus Jenson[64] | Venice[64] | |
c. 1470[70] | Servius, Commentarii in Vergilii opera[70] | Udalricus Gallus[70] | Rome[70] | With 125 editions between 1470 and 1599 this was the most popular Virgilian commentary of the early modern age.[71] |
1470[64] | Rhetorica ad Herennium[64] | Nicolaus Jenson[64] | Venice[64] | |
1470[64] | Justin[64] | Nicolaus Jenson[64] | Venice[64] | |
1470[64] | Cicero, Epistulae ad Brutum, Ad Quintum fratrem, and Ad Atticum[64] | Nicolaus Jenson[64] | Venice[64] | There are good chances that this publication is preceded by the edition in the same year of Cicero's letters printed in Rome by Sweynheym and Pannartz and edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis[13][64] Thus, they are generally considered both editiones principes.[72] |
c. 1470[73][74] | Tacitus, Historiae, Annales, Germania and Dialogus[73] | Vindelinus de Spira[74] | Venice[74] | This edition only has books 11–16 of the Annales. Books 1–6 were rediscovered in 1508 in the Corvey Abbey (now in Germany) and brought to Rome. There they were printed by Étienne Guillery in 1515 together with the other books of the Annales while the edition was prepared by Filippo Beroaldo.[73][75][76] |
c. 1470[77] | Horace[77] | Italy[77] | ||
c. 1470[78] | Leo the Great, Sermones and Epistulae[78] | Johannes Philippus de Lignamine[78] | Rome[78] | Undated. The volume in the same year in Rome was printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz another edition, so there is some ambiguity regarding which is the real editio princeps. In either case, the editor appears to have always been Joannes Andreas de Buxis.[13][79] Both the editions are incomplete as they present 92 of Leo's 96 extant sermons and just 5 of his 173 surviving letters.[80] |
c. 1470[81] | Ilias Latina[81] | Utrecht[81] | The Dutch edition only printed excerpts for a total of 500 of the 1070 lines that compose the Ilias Latina. The first complete edition was instead printed by Filippo di Pietro in Venice in c. 1476.[82] | |
c. 1470[83] | Ps.-Aurelius Victor, De Viris Illustribus[83] | Sixtus Riessinger[83] | Naples[83] | Undated and without location, the book could also have been printed in Rome.[83] The edition omits 9 lives (Caesar, Octavianus, Cato, Cicero, Brutus, Sextus Pompeius, Marcus Antonius, Cleopatra) that were first published by Andreas Schottus in 1577.[84] |
1470–1471[85] | Curtius Rufus[85] | Vindelinus de Spira[85] | Venice[86] | |
1470[87]-1471[88] | Sextus Pompeius Festus[87][88] | Georgius Lauer[89] | Rome[89] | Not the original De verborum significatu but instead the early medieval epitome made by Paulus Diaconus.[88] Edited by Julius Pomponius Laetus, the volume is undated, thus making the issue of priority controversial, as it has been argued that the type used is such that it must be dated 1472.[89] This would put it later than the edition printed by Panfilo Castaldi in Milan in August 1471, which is remarkable for being the first book ever printed in that city.[90] But the first authentic publication of Festus' surviving text came in Milan in 1500, printed by Gabriel Conagus and edited by Johannes Baptista Pius together with Nonius Marcellus and Varro. It was reprinted many times, beginning again in Milan in 1505, in Paris in 1509 and an Aldine edition in Venice in 1513.[91][92] |
1470–1471[93] | Isidore, Synonyma[93] | Johann Sensenschmidt[94] | Nuremberg[94] | 21 editions of the text came out between 1470 and 1566.[93] |
1470–1475[95] | Ps.-Dictys Cretensis[95] | Ulrich Zell[95] | Cologne[95] | An ancient Latin translation made by L. Septimius of a lost Greek original.[95] |
1470[96]-1475[89] | Nonius Marcellus[96] | Georgius Lauer[89] | Rome[96] | Edited by Julius Pomponius Laetus. An undated edition, the year of print is much debated: often attributed to c. 1470, it has been countered that the printing types used do not precede 1474. Apart from this the text presented is incomplete, as it lacks Book III of De compendiosa doctrina, a lacuna that was repeated in the following Venetian edition printed by Nicolaus Jenson in 1476. This was first printed in 1511 in Pesaro and edited by Johannes Baptista Pius.[89][96] |
1471–1472[97][98] | Aelius Donatus, Ars Maior[97][98] | Christophorus Valdarfer[98] or Paulus Butzbach and Georgius de Augusta[97] | Venice or Verona[97] | Book III or De barbarismo had been previously printed separately by an unknown printer in Venice in c. 1471.[98] There is much uncertainty regarding the printer: according to an interpretation it was made by Valdarfer in Venice, according to another by Butzbach and Georgius de Augusta in Verona.[97] |
1471[62] | Ps.-Sallust, Invectiva in Ciceronem[62] | Vindelinus de Spira[62] | Venice[62] | These two ancient apocryphal orations were included by Vindelinus in his second edition of Sallust's works.[62] The Venice edition's priority is contested, as the real editio princeps for both texts may be an edition printed in Cologne probably in the same year. Differently from the Venice edition the Cologne edition does not include Catilina and Iugurtha.[99] |

1471[58][101] | Cicero, Orationes[13] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[101] | Rome[101] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis, a total of 32 speeches were printed.[13][101] |
1471[102] | Cicero, Opera philosophica[13][102] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[13] | Rome[103] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis.[13] While all political and philosophical works were printed this is the editio princeps for, among others, the Academici libri quattuor and the De Natura Deorum.[104] |
1471[105] | Cyprian[105] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[13] | Rome[105] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis, the successive edition of Cyprian's works was made in Basel in 1520 and edited by Erasmus.[13][105] |
1471[106][107] | Florus[106] | Ulrich Gering, Michael Friburger and Martin Crantz[106] | Paris[106] | Edited by Robert Gaguin.[106] |
1471[108][109] | Pliny the Younger, Epistulae[108] | Christophorus Valdarfer[109] | Venice[108] | Edited by Ludovico Carbone. The edition does not include all ten books of the Epistulae but only the first seven and the ninth, for a total of 122 letters of the currently existing 375. These were increased to 236 letters in nine books with the publication of the Roman edition in 1490. Still missing was the tenth book, found by Giovanni Giocondo between 1495 and 1500 in the Abbey of St. Victor near Paris. Giocondo made a transcription, as did briefly after another Italian, Pietro Leandro, who once returned from France gave his partial copy of the tenth book to Girolamo Avanzi who printed the new 46 letters in Verona in 1502. For an edition of all Pliny's letters it was necessary to wait 1508, when Aldus Manutius printed in Venice a complete edition taking advantage of the transcript and other plinian manuscripts Giocondo had given him.[108][109][110][111] |
1471[112] | Ovid[112] | Baldassarre Azzoguidi[113] | Bologna[112] | Edited by Franciscus Puteolanus. There is some dispute regarding the possibility it may have been preceded by the Roman edition printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, which is without date but thought to be also from 1471.[13][112][113] |

c. 1471[116] | Claudian, De raptu Proserpinae[116] | Christophorus Valdarfer[116] | Venice[116] | Being undated its being the editio princeps is not sure and others have mentioned as ed. prin. the also undated incunable that appears in Utrecht in 1473–1475 from printers Nicolaus Ketelaer and Gerardus de Leempt. Successive separate editions of the text came from Rome in c. 1475, printed by Johann Schurener; Ferrara, c. 1480; Naples, also c. 1480, printed by Mattias von Olmütz; Perugia, c. 1481, printed by Stephan Arndes; Rome, 1483, printed by Marcellinus Verardus; Leipzig, c. 1495, printed by Konrad Kachelofen. The last of the incunable editions came out in Milan in 1500 by the humanist Janus Parrhasius, who gave the text its first commentary. In other four editions (1482, 1493, 1495, 1500) the De raptu Proserpinae was published in Claudian's complete works.[117][118] |

1471[122] | Martial[122] | Andreas Gallicus[123] | Ferrara[122] | The priority issue is highly controversial. The Roman undated edition printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz should be have printed in c. 1470 – 1471 and is often thought to be theeditio princeps; also, there is a Venetian edition that is possibly the first printed edition.[124] The Ferrara edition does not include the Liber de Spectaculis, which is instead present in the Roman and Venetian incunables.[125] |
1471[126] | Silius Italicus[126] | Sweynheym and Pannartz[126] | Rome[126] | Edited by Joannes Andreas de Buxis that published together Silius Italicus, Calpurnius and Hesiod.[13][126] To this have been added 58 newly found lines published by J. Constantius in 1508.[127] |

1472[151][152] | Isidore of Seville, Etymologiae[151] | Gunterius Zainer[151] | Augsburg[151] | The editio princeps is thought to be the first printed volume ever to show a mappa mundi.[153] The other incunable editions were printed in Strasbourg in 1473 by Johannes Mentelin, in Cologne in 1478 by Conrad Winters, in Venice in 1483 by Peter Loslein, in Basel in 1489 by Johannes Amerbach, in Venice in 1493 by Bonetus Locatellus and in Paris in 1499 by Georg Wolf and Thielman Kerver.[154] |

Also in the edition is Publilius Syrus, whose Sententiae are in the so-called Proverbia Senecae. The mistake was corrected in 1514 by Erasmus when the latter published in Southwark in 1514 an edition of Publilius that is generally considered to be the real editio princeps. Erasmus was followed in Leipzig in 1550 by Georg Fabricius, who also added twenty new sentences to the print.[101][191][194][195] |

c. 1474[502] | Batrachomyomachia[502] | Thomas Ferrandus[502] | Brescia[502] | Undated and without place or printer. The book carries an interlinear Latin prose translation together with the Greek text on one page and on the opposite one a metrical Latin translation.[502] |
c. 1478[503] | Aesop[198][503] | B. & J. A. de Honate[198] | Milan[198] | Edited by Bonus Accursius. Undated, the book contained also a Latin translation by Ranuccio Tettalo and Maximus Planudes' Aesopi Vita. On the other side, it must be noted that this edition represents only a partial selection of the Greek Aesopica.[198][504] |
c. 1482[503] | Hesiod, Opera et dies[198][503] | B. & J. A. de Honate[198] | Milan[198] | Edited by Bonus Accursius.[198] Undated, only Theocritus' first 18 idylls are contained in this edition.[503] A wider arrange of idylls appeared in the 1495–1496 Aldine Theocritus which had idylls I-XXIII.[505] A further amount of yet unpublished idylls were printed in Rome together with their old scholia by Zacharias Calliergis in his 1516 edition of Theocritus.[506] |
Theocritus, Idyllia[198][503] | ||||
1488–1489[507] | Homer[507] | Florence[507] | Edited by Demetrius Chalcondyles, the book was printed with the help of Demetrius Damilas that reelaborated the Greek types he had previously used in Milan. The editorial project was completed thanks to the financial support of Giovanni Acciaiuoli and the patronage of Neri and Bernardo de' Nerli (it) together with, the latter also author of an opening dedication to Piero de' Medici. The edition included not only the Iliad and the Odyssey, but also the so-called Homeric Hymns, the Batrachomyomachia and passages on Homer from works attributed to Plutarch, Herodotus and Dio Cocceianus. As for the typography the volume has traditionally been attributed to the prolific printer Bartolomeo de' Libri, attribution denied by recent scholarship. The issue thus remains unresolved.[507][508][509] | |

The separation was not fully successful as the text was not correctly divided, leaving to the 1557 Paris edition by Henricus Stephanus to finally obtain an adequate edition of Aeschylus' plays.[589][590] |
