CEPOLLA, Bartholomaeus (1420-1475). Cautelae iuris. [Strasbourg: Johann Prüss], 25 February 1490.
An expanded edition of this work by one of the great Italian jurists, owned by Philipp von Flersheim almost certainly as a student in Heidelberg, before his rapid rise to become Bishop of Speyer. It was first printed in Perugia by Petrus Petri de Colonia and Johannes Nicolai de Bamberga, about 1474. The cautions have numbered headings which reach a total of 325 in this full edition. H *4865; GW 6484; BMC I, 128; BSB-Ink C-224; Goff C-381.
Super-chancery quarto (232 x 164mm). Painted opening initial P depicting a scribe (title lightly soiled, a little faint browning). Contemporary German quarter blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, stamps include flowers, foliage, and the Lamb of God in a medallion (lightly rubbed, spine twisted, apparently owing to a work removed at end). Provenance: Philipp von Flersheim (1481-1522; Bishop of Speyer; contemporary signature in red ink on pastedown) – 'C D' device (stamp) -- Heidelberg, Capuchin library (inscription on title) – a few marginalia, manuscript index on rear pastedown.
