      [Colophon on xxviiir:] Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 14 April 1488. - folio. 295 x 205 mm. ff. [1], 267, [8]index. 61 lines. gothic type. double columns. capital spaces, some with guide letters. A fine copy, bound in 16th century blind-stamped pigskin over wooden bds., brass clasps & catches, monogram 'M.G.' and date '1562' on covers (front joint cracked). Second Edition (?) of this handbook for confessors, written by Italian minorite Baptista De Salis (Trovamala). On the verso of the last page of the Summa Rosella appears the text of a rescript of Sixtus IV concerning the competence of confessors, dated 111. kal. ian., 1479. This same text appears in the first edition, printed at Novi in 1484, and is cited by the BMC (VII 1105) as the probable source for the two supposed editions of 1479 noted by Hain (14174-75). Hain 14177-79 also appear to be ghosts. BMC II 432. Goff S46. GW 3322. Hain-Copinger 14181. IGI 1204. Oates 1013. Polain (B) 3837. Proctor 2063. [Attributes: First Edition]
