Note 234 — SECTION I. WORKS WRITTEN OR ANNOTATED BY TORY.

The license, which embraces the Economic Xenophon, and is printed at the end of the last-named book, extends the author's rights for four years, not for two. The discrepancy may be explained by the fact that the Ædiloquium was printed while Tory's application for the license was pending,—that is to say, in the first three months of 1531, which were then reckoned in the year 1530, according to the old computation. In fact, the license is dated June 18, 1531, which seems to conflict with the date of printing of the Ædiloquium. This circumstance also explains why the second title of the book is different in the printed volume from that given in the license (Erotica). See p. 31, supra.
