DURANTI, Guillelmus (c. 1230-1296). Rationale divinorum officiorum. Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 6 November 1481.
Great importance is attached to this liturgical treatise, written in Italy before 1286, and first published in Mainz by Johann Fust and Peter Schoeffer in 1459. Concerning the origin and meaning of the Christian ritual, it was widely read and remains one of the chief authorities on Western medieval liturgy. H *6485; GW 9123; BMC II, 421; BSB-Ink D-342; CIBN D-297; Goff D-425.
Chancery folio (306 x 213mm). Initials in red, rubricated throughout. (Scattered worming in early and end quires, mainly marginal but also affecting text, marginal dampstains more widespread on three final leaves, index taqbs causing minor perforations at margins). Contemporary half calf over wooden boards, probably Austrian or Bohemian, blindstamped with deer, foliate and flower-head tools, spine with single tool, chased metal clasps probably renewed, manuscript fragments strengthening hinges (some small wormholes, scuffed, head of spine repaired).
