Chancery 2° (301x214mm). Collation: [112 2-168 176(3+1) 18-428 4310 44-458 46-4710] (1/1 blank, 1/2r register, 1/12v blank, 2/1r prologue, 2/1v sermo primus, 43/9v colophon, 43/10 blank, 44/1r pseudo-Nicolaus de Dinkelsbühl, 47/10v blank). 385 leaves. 41 lines, register in double column. Type: 1a:96G (text), 5:136G (headings and headlines). 3- to 8-line initials in red, red underlining. (Very occasional light foxing or browning, wormholes in first and final 2 leaves, affecting a few letters in fo.2 only, very light stain in first and final leaf.) Contemporary calf over wooden boards, blindstamped, brass central boss and 2 (of 4) corner pieces on each cover, 2 brass fore-edge catches (without clasps), later paper spine label, title written on lower edge (spine renewed); an Augsburg binding, Kyriss shop 80, including stamps 4, 7, 9. Provenance: Poor Clares of Runcada, near Brixen, Tyrol, Convent of St. Elizabeth, by gift of Johann Obersdorffer (Ad cenobiu[m] s[an]cte Elisabeth in suburbio brixine pertinet liber iste ex donatio[n]e do[min]i Ioh[ann]is ob[er]sto[r]ffe[r]).
Second edition of Albertus de Padua, and the first of the Concordantia. The ascription of the Concordantia to Nicolaus de Dinkelsbühl is false; he is known as the author of a passion story but not of a concordance to it, and indeed he is one of the authors cited in the work. (See A. Madre, Nicolaus de Dinkelsbühl, Leben und Schriften, 1965, p.310.) Although nothing more is known of the early owner of this volume, Obersdorffer left a sizeable donation of books to both the Poor Clares of Runcada and their spiritual brothers, the Franciscans of nearby Brixen. Both houses must have had considerable libraries, particularly rich in printed books. (See Detlef Mauss, "Benedictus Füger und die Clarissen zu Runcada bei Brixen," Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 1994, pp. 292-301; see also lots and for other books in the Klotz collection given to the Poor Clares or Franciscans of Brixen.) A fresh, large copy with many deckle edges preserved. H *574; GW 785; BMC II, 526 (IB. 9188); Goff A-340; Polain(B) 101; IGI 243; BSB A-133
