Galen.
   
Galeni librorum pars prima... first 2 vols. of Aldine Galen (5 vols. were published).
      Venice: Aldus, 1525. The Aldine Galen Galen (A.D. 129 / 130-199 / 200). Galhnou A¢ [B¢]. Galeni librorum pars prima [secunda]. . . . Two volumes only (of five). 2 vols. in 1, folio. [4], 24, 180 [i.e., 181], 108; [4], 184, 106ff. Vol. I colophon leaf (p4) misbound after p1; Vol. I also lacking blank leaves F4 and &6. Venice: in aedibus Aldi, et Andreae Asulani soceri, April 1525 (colophon). 317 x 227 mm. Full vellum over boards. First three leaves of Vol. I repaired, fore-edges of some leaves a little frayed, minor staining but a very good tall copy. Signature on title of the 19th-century scholar Joseph R. Gasquet, author of "The Radical Medicine of Galen in his Time" Brit. & Foreign Med.-Chir. Rev. 11 [1867]: 472-88). Editio Princeps in Greek. G-M 27. The first two volumes (of five) of the magnificent Aldine Galen, which, by publishing in one place all the known Greek texts of Galen, marked a new era in both medical and philological scholarship. The collection's five folio volumes, the climax of nearly 100 years of active scholarship, represent the largest single body of text issued by the Aldine press, which had by then passed into the hands of Aldus Manutius's father-in-law Andreas Asulanus, Aldus having died in 1515 before he could fulfil his long-held desire to issue a new edition of Galen. Asulanus, with the help of his sons Franciscus and Fredericus, continued Aldus's scholarly tradition, bringing out a number of Greek literary and historical editiones principes; "but whereas the family's not unlimited linguistic expertise might have sufficed to produce creditable editions of geographers and poets, it was clearly not up to the challenge the works of Galen presented. . . . To meet this challenge, the Pavian professor of medicine G. B. Opizzoni (ca. 1485-ca. 1532) was placed in charge of a large group of assistants recruited mainly from northern medical scholars then studying in Italy: John Clement (ca. 1495-1572), Edward Wotton (1492-1555), William Rose (ca. 1490-1525), and Thomas Lupset (1495-1530), all Brittani and followers of Thomas Linacre (ca. 1460-1524), and the Saxon Georg Agricola (1495-1555), of De re metallica fame. . . . The significance of the first printing of a classical author cannot be overestimated, especially a prolific one like Aristotle or Galen, whose works were not to be found in a single or even very few manuscripts, but had to be pieced together from as many manuscripts as the printer could lay his hands on. Not only did the texts of these authors go from being the private reserve of a few fortunate manuscript-owners and their friends to being available throughout the scholarly world-and that in a standard, corrected form-but their survival from the naufragium of the middle ages was once and for all assured" (Potter, in Norman, 100 Books Famous in Medicine, no. 5). The Aldine Greek Galen was quickly adopted as authoritative, and was relied on heavily by subsequent translators of Galen's works. One of the rarest of Aldine publications, only two or three complete sets of this work have been sold during the past 30 years. A complete set, if it could be found, would be worth in the range of $50,000 or more. We are offering the first two volumes of this work at an affordable price; these volumes contain 37 (nearly one-quarter) of the 160 Galenic texts identified in Durling's bibliography. Among these are the Anatomici libri novem, Galen's major anatomical work; De motu muscularum, containing the first description of artificially stimulated contraction of dissected muscle tissue; works on dissection of the nerves, veins and uterus; the embryological De foetum formatione; and ten works on pharmacology and drug therapy, comprising all of Vol. II.

      [Matthes Maler],, Erfurt 1525 Modern boards 4to . FIRST EDITION of this rare tract attacking the position of Luther's followers regarding the marriage of priests as well as other reforms proposed by Luther and his circle. Bartholomaeus Arnoldi of Usingen (c. 1465-1532) studied at Erfurt from 1484 and later taught scholastic philosophy and theology there until 1526. "He was one of the teachers of Martin Luther, and around 1512 he entered the same Erfurt house of the Augustinian Eremites that Luther had entered some seven years earlier. Usingen, however, opposed the Reformation with great zeal, although he was sympathetic to the humanist movement . In the wake of the peasant rebellion and the triumph of the reformparty, he left Erfurt early in 1526 for the Wurzburg house of his order" (Contemporaries of Erasmus, III, p. 360). The work is rare; OCLC locates only one copy at Yale 40 leaves. With fine woodcut title border signed with the monogram "FB" (Luther, TE 67 & 67a). Few minor spots on title-page.

PONTANUS, PETRUS.
   
DUPLEX GRAMMATICE ARTIS ISAGOGE AB EODEM MULTIS NUPER LOCUPLETATA SCHEMATIBUS. PARIS, NIC. SAVETIERFOR AMBROSIUS GIRAULT, 1525.
      4to. 19th century black morocco, spine gilt-titled. With large woodcut device of the Paris printer Pierre Viart on title, richly coloured by hand and heightened with gold, part of text on title heightened with gold, 38 larger and smaller historiated and floriated woodcut initials in text, all richly coloured by hand and heightened with gold, and almmost all text richly touched with gold. (22) lvs. Richly and beautifully illuminated copy of a Latin school grammar by Petrus Pontanus, or Petrus de Ponte from Bruges (1475-1539). Blinded at the age of three, Pontanus was educated at the monastery in St. Omer. At the beginning of the 16th century he is settled at Paris teaching humanities, preparing young people for entering the university. He published over 30 pedagogical and literary works and played an important role in the humanist movement at Paris. Unable to find a patron, Pontanus published his books at his own expense in small editions so today all his books are very rare. His books stand out among the pedagogical works of the period, especially his Latin grammar distinguished itself by its serious qualities of science and of method. It teached the children by questions and answers, in prose, with examples taken from the classical authors. It is divided into two parts, one treating the Latin grammar proper, and the second part treating the Latin syntax. Exceptional rich copy, entirely illuminated.- (Some restorations to the title; title sl. worn). Bibl. Belg. P 317; cf. STC French p. 362 (Paris ed. of 1519); Machiels P 1114 (Paris ed. of 1524); no edition in Adams; NUC lists one copy only, of the edition of 1527.

Neuerer Pgtbd unter Verwendung einer alten Einbanddecke im neuen Schuber (Einbd fleckig, stellenw. mit schwachen Nässespuren, vereinzelt Anstreichungen von alter Hand, Name auf Titel). (WR 02-173) Frühe Ausgabe zwei Monate nach der Erstausgabe, die im August d.J. bei Froben in Basel erschienen war.- Die Schrift gehört in die Reihe der weitverbreiteten und vielbenutzten Lehrbücher, mit denen Erasmus dem Bildungsprogramm eines christlichen Humanismus Gestalt verlieh. Dieses Programm beinhaltete u.a., dass sprachliche Bildung mit sittlicher Erziehung Hand in Hand gehen müsse. Entsprechend gibt Erasmus hier anhand der antiken und der biblischen Geschichte zahlreiche Beispiele über den rechten Gebrauch bzw. Missbrauch der Sprache in moralischer Hinsicht. Eine etwas spätere deutsche übersetzung trägt den Titel: "Von der Zung ... darinn angezeigt, was die Zung sei, wie sie das best unnd das böst glied sei ...

[Novellino].
   
Le ciento novelle antike.
      Bologna, Girolamo Benedetti, agosto 1525. "In-4° (mm 207x138). 6 carte non numerate, 40 numerate, due carte non numerate di cui l’ultima bianca. Carattere romano. Legatura di Binda in marocchino rosso, con impressioni dorate e a secco ai piatti, titolo e note in oro al dorso. Esemplare ad ampi margini, in buono stato di conservazione; le carte i2-i3 e k3-k4 rimarginate. Nota bibliografica manoscritta dell’abate Luigi Razzolini, autore della celebre Bibliografia dei testi di lingua a stampa citati dagli Accademici della Crusca. Al contropiatto ex-libris: ‘Ulrico Hoepli’ e ‘Bryan Palmes’. Prima rarissima edizione della più antica raccolta di novelle in volgare, dedicata dal curatore Carlo Gualteruzzi al conterraneo Gorio Gherio, vescovo di Fano. Il titolo di Ciento novelle, con cui l’opera venne in seguito chiamata si deve proprio a questa prima stampa Gualteruzziana, voluta da Pietro Bembo e esemplata su uno o più codici da lui procurati. Probabilmente la vulgata del Novellino, come corpus composto da cento novelle, si deve a una tradizione post-decameroniana:. «la raccolta originaria o Ur-Novellino, redatta da un compilatore anonimo verosimilmente sul finire del Duecento a Firenze, comprendeva novelle vere e proprie, ma anche brani didascalici, sentenze, moralità ecc.; cioè una serie di unità narrative e di unità non narrative, che erano meno di cento ed erano semplicemente separate da uno spazio e dall’iniziale colorata, senza rubriche e senza numerazione, secondo la testimonianza del ms. più antico […]. Poi, forse all’inizio del Trecento sempre a Firenze, qualcun altro ne ha modificato la struttura e la consistenza, eliminando alcuni moduli, spostandone altri e aggiungendo delle novelle attinte altrove; in una fase successiva, ma sempre all’inizio del secolo, sono state introdotte le rubrice, approssimative e spesso imprecise; è probabilmente cinquecentesca la numerazione del nuovo ordinamento […]. Il Novellino vulgato, cioè la raccolta in cento novelle, è il risultato di questa cospicua riorganizzazione macro-testuale dell’Ur-Novellino» (Il Novellino, a cura di Alberto Conte, Roma 2001, pp. xv-xvi). Gamba 685; Passano, p. 130. Exceedingly rare first edition of the oldest collection of Italian tales, written by an anonimous Florentine author at the beginning of the 13th century. "

Volume elegantemente stampato con grandi caratteri tondi e in fine con caratteri anche greci; titolo in rosso e nero; alla quarta carta xilografia a piena pagina raffigurante una Sibilla, di Benedetto Montagna.

Leggera gora marginale in alcune carte." "Una delle piu' importanti raccolte di scritti di antichita' classiche. Come il tipografo medesimo dichiara in una lettera prefatoria indirizzata agli studiosi, si tratta di una edizione piu' corretta e soddisfacente rispetto a quella anteriore di Probo da lui stesso stampata nel 1519: questa infatti fu collazionata su nuovi manoscritti, e arricchita da una messe enorme di materiale antiquario in prima edizione o inedito oppure totalmente rivisto, ampliato e corretto. Tra le varie operette vanno ricordate per la loro primaria importanza e ricercatezza quelle di aritmetica e sulle misure e pesi: il ""De computo"" di Beda ad esempio non e' menzionato dallo Smith (Aritmetica rara) che cita altre opere dell'autore medievale. Riguardo al pregevole legno della Sibilla cfr. anche Essling 1179: ""Figure de la Sibylle avec monogr. b M (B.

KELLER, MICHAEL.
   
Ettlich Sermones von dem Nachtmal Christi,. Geprediget bey den Parfussern zu Augsburg. O.O., Dr. u. J.
      (Augsburg, Ph. Ulhart, ). 1525 Kl.-4to. 24 Bl. Mit schönem Titelholzschnitt (Abendmahl). Neue Br. (Ränder braun- u. fingerfleckig u. mit Nässespuren, Titel stärker angestaubt u. fleckig). (WR 01-149) Erste Ausgabe; eine von zwei Druckvarianten.- Die Augsburger Barfüßerkirche war die Kirche der unteren Volksschichten. Hier versuchte Michael Keller, ein neues evangelisches Gemeindeleben aufzubauen. Mit seinen rhetorisch ebenso einfachen wie eindringlichen Predigten sammelte er einen Kreis von Anhängern ("Michaeliten"), die sich später bis zum Bildersturm radikalisierten (vgl. RE XVI, 738). Kellers Predigten über das Abendmahl wenden sich von der Zwinglischen Auffassung her "mit heftigstem Gepolter hauptsächlich gegen die katholische Lehre von der Messe und Verwandlung" (Schottenloher S. 32).- Exemplar mit handschriftlichem Besitzvermerk von Martin Borrhaus Cellarius. Der Reuchlinschüler Borrhaus ist dem linken Spektrum der Reformation zuzurechnen. Er stand zu diesem Zeitpunkt den Wiedertäufern nahe (Streitgespräch mit Luther) und entfaltete eine umfangreiche Reise- und Werbetätigkeit. In Preußen war er seiner religiösen Anschauungen wegen verhaftet und ausgewiesen worden. Ähnlich wie Karlstadt und S. Franck war Borrhaus ein "Gegner der Verkirchlichung der Reformation, Vertreter individueller Laienfrömmigkeit unter humanistisch-erasmischem Einfluss (und ein) Vorkämpfer der Toleranz" (RGG).- Kuczynski 1163; Schottenloher, Ulhart 108 b; VD 16 K 655.

(Sefer kol bo).
      Rimini, Geršom Soncino, [1525]. "In-folio (mm 314x204). 164 carte non numerate. Frontespizio racchiuso entro cornice silografica a fondo nero decorata da motivi floreali (“la grande cornice silografica, onde ornansi le edizioni soncinati in foglio, incominciando dal Decachordum” Manzoni, p. 778), le lettere del titolo su fondo decorato, marca tipografica del Soncino (Z1167; Yaari, Marks 6) – qui usata per la prima volta - raffigurante la torre malatestiana di Rimini. Legatura in cartonato antico. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, con ampi margini, alcune macchie, restauri al frontespizio. Note e cassature dei censori in alcune parti dell’Hilchoth Yein e dell’Hilchoth Avodah Zarah. Timbro a secco alla seconda carta: “Library. Borough Park. Brooklyn NY”. Importante e rara edizione soncinate di questa silloge anonima intitolata Kol bo (“Tutto in esso” cioè “Compendio”) che è una raccolta di leggi rituali e civili redatta tra la fine del secolo XIII e l’inizio del XIV suddivisa in 150 sezioni che trattano vari argomenti tra i quali: le benedizioni, la preghiera, la sinagoga, i pasti, il Sabbath, le festività, il matrimonio, il denaro, i voti e i giuramenti, le leggi concernenti la terra d’Israele, il riscatto dei primogeniti, l’assistenza ai malati e il lutto. Il testo comprende anche uno dei più antichi commenti all’Haggadah. L’identità dell’autore è tuttora ignota e riguardo a tale questione sono state avanzate ipotesi differenti. La maggior parte degli studiosi è concorde nel sostenere che, dal momento che molte parole del Kol bo sono identiche a quelle dell’Orhot Hayyim di Aaron ben Jacob ha-Kohen, il libro del “tutto in esso” non sia altro che una versione più sintetica dell’Orhot Hayyim o addirittura una sua prima stesura da attribuirsi dunque al medesimo autore. Il presente volume venne impresso a Rimini, dove Geršom Soncino aveva trovato ospitalità dopo essere stato costretto a lasciare Pesaro a causa delle ostilità della chiesa domenicana. Come segno di gratitudine nei confronti dei signori di Rimini che lo avevano accolto, Soncino elesse a proprio simbolo la torre malatestiana della città affiancata dalla citazione biblica “Torre fortissima è il nome del Signore: il giusto vi si rifugia ed è al sicuro” (Proverbi 18,10). La marca adottata dal Soncino è anche il primo esempio italiano di marca tipografica di uno stampatore ebreo. Adams K, 89; Busi (ER), n. 294; Steinschneider 555; Vinograd 7; Zedner 191; Manzoni II, n. 121(“È questo indubbiamente il più bel volume che Gerschom abbia impresso a Rimini”); Habermann (Soncino), n. 79."

OSIANDER, Andreas.
   
Important treatise on the reformation of the Mass as practised in Nürnberg Grundt und ursach aus der heiligen schrifft, wie und warumb die Eerwirdigen herren, beyder Pfarkirchen S. Sebalt, und sant Laurentzen Probst zu Nürmberg, die mißpreuch bey der heyligen Mess, Jartag, Gerweycht Saltz, und Wasser, sampt etlichen andern Ceremonien abgestelt undterlassen und geendert haben.
      Wittemberg, (Johann Rhau-Grunenberg), 1525.. 8vo. Later paper wrappers. 64 lvs. (Collation: A-H8).. One of the 12 editions of this important treatise on the reformation of the Mass as practised in Nürnberg in the S. Sebald and S. Lorenz Church, published in the two years after its appearance. The first edition of this work by the well-known German reformer Andreas Osiander (or Andreas Hosemann; 1498-1552), was published in Nürnberg by Hieronymus Höltzel in October 1524. Editions in Nürnberg, Augsburg, Zwickau and Erfurts followed, before the publication of our edition which is listed by Seebass as the seventh. The 13th and last edition of the 16th century appeared in Magdeburg in 1543. Written early in his career, this pamphlet appears to have made Osiander's reputation as a prominent Lutheran reformer.Osiander was a German Lutheran theologian who studied in Leipzig, Altenburg and Ingolstadt before being ordained as a priest in 1520. In the same year he began work at an Augustinian convent in Nürnberg as a Hebrew tutor. In 1522, he was appointed to the church of St. Lorenz in Nürnberg, as vicar of S. Lorenz parish, and at the same time publicly declared himself to be a Lutheran. He also played a prominent role in the debate which led to the city of Nürmberg's adoption of the Reformation in the same year1525, and also in the same year Osiander married. Later he was appointed as professor of the newly founded Königsberg University. Osiander lived and worked in Königsberg until his death in 1552. Osiander published a corrected edition of the Vulgate Bible, with notes, in 1522 and a Harmony of the Gospels in 1537. In 1543, Osiander oversaw the publication of the famous and controversial book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the revolution of celestial spheres) by Copernicus.The work starts with a preface by Georg Pessler, probst of S. Sebald and Hector Pömers, Probst of S. Lorenz, Nürnberg, dated 21 October 1524 (f. A1v-A6v, followed by the chapters on the reformation of the Mass:- f. A7r-F1v: 'Gründe für die Änderungen an der Messe'. - f. F2r-G2v: 'Gründe für die Abschaffung der Seelmessen und Jahrtage'.- f. G2v-G4r: 'Gründe für die Abschaffung des Salve Regina'.- f.

Bembo, Pietro (1470-1547).
   
Prose di M. Pietro Bembo nelle quali si ragiona della volgar lingua scritte al Cardinale de’ Medici che poi è stato creato a Sommo Pontefice et detto Papa Clemente settimo divise in tre libri.
      Venezia, Giovanni Tacuino, 1525. "In-4° (mm 298x210). 94 carte con numerazione romana. Legatura coeva in piena pergamena, dorso a tre nervi. Esemplare ad ampi margini in ottimo stato di conservazione. Marginalia di mano coeva. Prima edizione delle Prose della volgar lingua, in cui il Bembo «fonda anzitutto la coscienza critica della tradizione letteraria italiana, indicandone gli esempi più significativi nell'àmbito dei grandi scrittori del Trecento. La ricchissima esemplificazione di modi e di parole che il Bembo dà, ricavandoli dai suoi ammirati trecentisti, è volta a costituire una lingua che abbia dignità ed eleganza letteraria e al tempo stesso la vivacità e la naturalezza dell'uso toscano» (P. Bembo, Prose della volgar lingua, Gli Asolani, Rime, a cura di C. Dionisotti, Milano 1989, p. ix). L’opera, in forma di dialogo tra Carlo Bembo, Giuliano de’ Medici, Federico Fregoso ed Ercole Strozzi, ambientato nel 1502, porta la dedica “al cardinale de’ Medici che fu poi creato Sommo Pontefice e detto Clemente VII”, la quale vuol far credere, che la decisione di dedicare l'opera al cardinale Giulio fosse stata presa prima che questi fosse eletto papa. L'autore rivela una precisa volontà di ambientare il tutto nei primi anni del secolo, come se volesse dimostrare che le Prose si collocano idealmente nel momento iniziale della ‘questione della lingua’, in concomitanza della grande crisi politica e culturale. In realtà l’umanista lavorò al suo dialogo negli anni in cui soggiornò a Ferrara (1502-03), dove si legò di profonda amicizia con Ludovico Ariosto, e soprattutto durante la sua permanenza alla corte di Urbino. È proprio alla fine di quel soggiorno che egli annuncia di aver terminato i primi due libri dell'opera, i quali cominciarono a circolare tra amici e conoscenti. Bembo soltanto nel periodo di ritiro, prima a Venezia e poi a Padova, a partire cioè dal 1519, riprese la stesura del terzo libro che fu terminata nel 1524 e finalmente le Prose furono stampate nel 1525 ed immediatamente si diffusero in tutta Italia. Probabilmente però già negli ultimi anni del Quattrocento, mentre era impegnato nella cura delle edizioni di Petrarca (Canzoniere, Aldo Manuzio 1501) e di Dante (Commedia, Aldo Manuzio 1502), Bembo aveva cominciato a riflettere sulla generale ‘questione della lingua’, e proprio le sue esperienze presso la tipografia aldina furono fondamentali per l’affermazione dell'idea che accanto al patrimonio dei greci e dei latini vi fosse ormai un patrimonio di scrittori in volgare, di classici italiani; infatti nell'edizione del Canzoniere compare un’appendice, anonima ma certamente di Bembo, in cui si discutono alcuni aspetti della lingua e dello stile di Petrarca, che costituisce un primo nucleo dei ragionamenti che l'autore farà negli anni successivi. Gamba 136; STC Italian, 81. First edition of the famous Prose della volgar lingua, one of the basis of the new Italian language, dedicated by Bembo to Clemente vii, it is written as a dialogue debated by Carlo Bembo, Giuliano de’ Medici, Federico Fregoso ed Ercole Strozzi.

OSIANDER, Andreas.
   
Important treatise on the reformation of the Mass as practised in Nürnberg Grundt und ursach aus der heiligen schrifft, wie und warumb die Eerwirdigen herren, beyder Pfarkirchen S. Sebalt, und sant Laurentzen Probst zu Nürmberg, die mißpreuch bey der heyligen Mess, Jartag, Gerweycht Saltz, und Wasser, sampt etlichen andern Ceremonien abgestelt undterlassen und geendert haben.
      Wittemberg, (Johann Rhau-Grunenberg), 1525. 8vo. Later paper wrappers. 64 lvs. (Collation: A-H8). One of the 12 editions of this important treatise on the reformation of the Mass as practised in Nürnberg in the S. Sebald and S. Lorenz Church, published in the two years after its appearance. The first edition of this work by the well-known German reformer Andreas Osiander (or Andreas Hosemann; 1498-1552), was published in Nürnberg by Hieronymus Höltzel in October 1524. Editions in Nürnberg, Augsburg, Zwickau and Erfurts followed, before the publication of our edition which is listed by Seebass as the seventh. The 13th and last edition of the 16th century appeared in Magdeburg in 1543. Written early in his career, this pamphlet appears to have made Osiander's reputation as a prominent Lutheran reformer.Osiander was a German Lutheran theologian who studied in Leipzig, Altenburg and Ingolstadt before being ordained as a priest in 1520. In the same year he began work at an Augustinian convent in Nürnberg as a Hebrew tutor. In 1522, he was appointed to the church of St. Lorenz in Nürnberg, as vicar of S. Lorenz parish, and at the same time publicly declared himself to be a Lutheran. He also played a prominent role in the debate which led to the city of Nürmberg's adoption of the Reformation in the same year1525, and also in the same year Osiander married. Later he was appointed as professor of the newly founded Königsberg University. Osiander lived and worked in Königsberg until his death in 1552. Osiander published a corrected edition of the Vulgate Bible, with notes, in 1522 and a Harmony of the Gospels in 1537.

ERASMUS v. ROTTERDAM.
   
Lingua.
      O.O. u. Dr. (Straßburg, J. Knobloch?), mense Octobri, 1525. Kl.-8vo. 136 num. Bl. Neuerer Pgtbd unter Verwendung einer alten Einbanddecke im neuen Schuber (Einbd fleckig, stellenw. mit schwachen Nässespuren, vereinzelt Anstreichungen von alter Hand, Name auf Titel). (WR 02-173) Frühe Ausgabe zwei Monate nach der Erstausgabe, die im August d.J. bei Froben in Basel erschienen war.- Die Schrift gehört in die Reihe der weitverbreiteten und vielbenutzten Lehrbücher, mit denen Erasmus dem Bildungsprogramm eines christlichen Humanismus Gestalt verlieh. Dieses Programm beinhaltete u.a., dass sprachliche Bildung mit sittlicher Erziehung Hand in Hand gehen müsse. Entsprechend gibt Erasmus hier anhand der antiken und der biblischen Geschichte zahlreiche Beispiele über den rechten Gebrauch bzw. Missbrauch der Sprache in moralischer Hinsicht. Eine etwas spätere deutsche übersetzung trägt den Titel: "Von der Zung ... darinn angezeigt, was die Zung sei, wie sie das best unnd das böst glied sei ... Auch findest schöne Artznei wider die Klappersucht und widder das aller bössest Gifft der falschen Zungen".- Bezzel 1269 (weist diesen Druck ebenfalls Froben zu); Vander Haeghen I, 117 u. Adams E 681 (beide ohne Zuweisung); Benzing, Straßburg 555; VD 16 E 3160.
