| Item Description: | Title from heading, leaf [1a] (red): Sententia beati augustini episcopi ex libro retractacōnū īpius, de libris de ciuitate dei. Commentary by Thomas Waleys and Nicholas Trivet, printed separately from the text, leaves [285a]-[359a] Imprint from colophon. Each book of text preceded by a chapter title. First issued in 1468. Brit. Mus. cat. (XV cent.) I, p. 29 (IC. 180); Gesamtkat. d. Wiegendr. 2884 (U.C.'s copy has the variant 1st colophon); Hain. Repertorium (with Copinger's Supplement) *2057; Goff. Third census, A-1240. Headings on leaves [1a]-[2a] and both colophons with Fust and Schoeffer woodcut device red-printed. Opening to each book extensively rubricated in red and blue, while book numbers and illuminated capitals appear on each page. Elaborate hand-drawn illustrations set this copy apart from other existing copies. An unsigned 19th century note on final leaf verso attributes the rubrication to a monk, Lazarus von Andlau, below which is an 18th century engraved armorial bookplate. Re-bound in 20th century dark green morocco, gold-tooled to a Grolieresque panel design. Includes index. |
