First appearing in the 1474 Rome edition of Johann Schurener and Johann Nicolai Hanheymer, the Formularium instrumentorum is a collection of models for legal documents applicable to Canon Law. Developed in the second quarter of the 15th century, they were used in the multifarious business of the Curia. This edition was printed in Wenssler’s type 124, later taken over by P. Kunne, Memmingen, and probably first cast for liturgical use. A 1480 date of purchase was noted by Baer, Bücherfreund 9 (1911), no 1, 2, 738. HC *7276; GW 10201; BMC III 727; BSB-Ink F-206; Pr 2769 (assigned to Kunne at Memmingen); Goff F-254.

Chancery folio (306 x 218mm). With blank q1, quire q (table) bound at front as in the BL copy, some deckle edges (scattered wormholes affecting text, in larger numbers in quire p, light marginal waterstains, without blank a1). Contemporary blindstamped red-dyed doeskin, central cross and linear frame on covers with 15 repeat stamps, including man of sorrows, ‘Maria' in a banner, paschal lamb, a deer, rosette and palmette, apparently not in Einbanddatenbank, spine painted grey at an early date and titled in manuscript (a little worn, some wormholes, clasps missing). Provenance: Burghausen, Jesuit college (1646 inscription).
