Bede, The Venerable. Beda Venerabilis.

Homiliae Bedae Presbiteri Anglosaxonins, theologi suo aevo celeberrimi, aestivales de tempore & de sanctis. Cum indice.

      Coloniae ex officina Ioannis Gymnici Octavo, in wooden boards, recently rebound, with the remains of the contemporary embossed calf binding overlaid. Two metal clasps. Woodcut title page to the first work with a small hole, now restored, on what appears to have been a fold line, not affecting the print. Initial gatherings slightly damp marked. Almost insignificant worm-marking near gutter at foot of initial pages, well clear of the printed area. In general, clean and tight. We believe these three titles are the first collected printings of the homilies. Not in any of the UK libraries. VD16 gives the following locations for these books: 'aestivales de tempore & de sanctis' Mu.SB P.lat.287.d.; 'hyemales & quadragesimales' Mu.SB P.lat.287.d., and Wf.Li.298(?); 'D. Pauli Epistolas' Mu.SB P.lat.287., WF.Li.Sammelband 49(3), and Asch.SB.S.299/Bb.l(?). (Digital photographs may be available on request.)
