On Temperaments and on Unequal Intemperance

The Publishers are desirous of gaining information about the printer, John Siberch, before 1521, when he commenced to print in Cambridge, and after 1522 when he discontinued printing there. Herbert suggests that he may be the John Sibert, who was printing at Lyons in 1498, and mentions a book of that date being in the Cambridge University Library. But this book, Henrici Bouhic, Distinctions on the five books of the Decretals original: "Henrici Bouhic Distinctiones super libros quinque Decretalium", consists of two large folio volumes, and the printer calls himself 'Master Johannes Siberti;' both of which facts make it unreasonable to identify him with the plain Johannes Siberch who printed little books at Cambridge so many years afterwards.
