Opusculum Pulcherrimum de Memoriae Naturalis Reparatione.

      Woodcut title, woodcut plate. 7pp. Small 4to, later boards. N.p., n.d. (ca. 1520). An unusual and obscure work on memory. A title vignette shows a head with lines drawn from the skull to the eyes, ears and mouth. The woodcut is possibly of a bookseller standing behind a counter and surrounded by books, or perhaps of a teacher standing at a podium and lecturing. Three other figures stand off to the right and are writing down information of some kind. The work is incomplete, being only the first four leaves of a work of 32 leaves (Sanders 5521 & 5521a). The text that is present includes some introductory remarks about the work and a listing of the various chapters to be included. [Publisher: -]
