a1r Quintilianus, Marcus Fabius: [Letter dedicating the Institutiones oratoriae to] Trypho [the bookseller]. Quint. Inst. See also Q‑015.
a1r Regius, Raphael; [and Merula, Bartholomeus]: ‘In deprauationes Oratoriae Quintiliani Institutionis annotationes'. Incipit: ‘[E]fflagitasti quotidiano conuicio. Ad Uictoriumne Marcellum . . .’ On the work's first version, ‘Ducenta problemata in Quintiliani depravationes', published in 1492 (R‑042), and on Regius as editor of Quintilian, see Winterbottom, ‘In Praise of Raffaele Regio', 100-1, 105-6. For the view that Regius plagiarized Valla's commentary see Alessandro Perosa, ‘L'edizione veneta di Quintiliano coi commenti del Valla, di Pomponio Leto e di Sulpizio da Veroli', in Miscellanea Augusto Campano (Padua, 1981), II 603-10, and on Merula's contribution at 575-6.

[rum]5r [Regius, Raphael(?): Life of Quintilian.] Incipit: ‘Marcus Fabius Quintilianus Romae natus est. Quibus consulibus aut quo imperante Caesare non legi . . .’ The use of the first person would seem to suggest that the author is Regius.
