FERRERIUS, Vincentius (Pseudo-). De fine mundi. [Augsburg: Johann Froschauer, not before 1503, ca. 1505?].
Chancery 4o (181 x 139 mm). Collation: A-D4 (A1r title, A1v blank, A2r text). 16 leaves. 32 lines. Type: 6:91G. Initial spaces with guide letters. (Dampstain, marginal wormhole). Modern boards. Provenance: a few early marginalia; a few later underlinings and marginal notes; Edward F. Hayes (gift label to Albertus Magnus College).
This sermon on the apocalypse, attributed in the printed editions to Saint Vincent Ferrer, was shown to be inauthentic by his bibliographer Sigismund Brettle, who pointed out the use of a Spanish-Italian or possibly South Italian dialect in the first edition (Treviso 1475).
The typeface of the present edition, Proctor's type 6, occurs in no dated book earlier than 1503. Hans Froschauer's printing activity lasted from 1494 until his death in 1523; he specialized in almanachs, popular medical treatises, sermons and tracts, including, toward the end of his career, numerous Reformation tracts.
