MARTYROLOGIUM
Viola Sanctorum
Johan Pruss, Strassburg 1487 Quarto, early 19th century russia, finely rebacked period style, two bookplates, name on end-paper and on short-title leaf, early inscription on short-title leaf, several small wormholes at front and back fortunately puncture only a few leaves at either end, and mainly in the blank margins; where they touch a letter or two they do not affect any legibility. Other than some minor stains, a very nice copy. Several editions of this popular work were printed by Pruss, this is the first to issue from his press. Hain 10870; Goff M 337. Uncommon
