Chancery 2o (287 x 209 mm). Collation: a4 (a1r blank, a1v table of contents); b10 c-y8 z10 10 (b1r text, 8v colophon, 9r translator's epistle to Petrus Frigerius, Archbishop of Corfu, 9v blank, 10r register, 10v blank). 194 leaves. Double column (except for the letter on fol. 193r and the triple-column register). 55 lines and headline. Types: 7:150G (headlines and opening words of sections); 6:84(75)G (text). One 10-line and many 3-line initial spaces. Lombard initials in red, large opening initial with reserved decoration, paragraph marks and capital strokes in red. Original tawed animal skin index tabs preserved. (9 leaves with lower margins renewed [fols. n6, r5, s6, s7, u4.5, x8, y1 and 10], lower blank corner of 9 torn away, a few small marginal wormholes.)

Provenance: Hamm (diocese of Cologne), Franciscan convent of St. Agnes (contemporary inscription "Pro libreria Conventus Hammonensis" on first blank page) -- Geh. Justiz-Rath (...) Barnheim, of Insterburg, East Prussia (signature, manuscript titles, annotations on front flyleaf; sale, Berlin, Stargardt, 8 May, 1873) -- George and David Wolfe Bruce (gift bookplate, 1894 donation to:) -- The Grolier Club.
Fourth edition, second Venetian edition. Composed ca. 1259-1264, in Paris, Naples, and Orvieto, the Summa contra gentiles is thought to have been written for the use of Dominican missionaries at the request of St. Raymond of Peñafort, who had devoted himself to the conversion of the Spanish Jews and Moors.
Printed in the year of his death, this edition was published shortly after Jenson entered into partnership with his most powerful rival, the press of Johannes de Colonia (recently deceased) and Johannes de Manthen, successors to Vindelinus de Spira. After Jenson's death, the syndicate continued to publish under the name "Johannes de Colonia et Nicolaus Jenson et Socii" until the end of 1481.
HC 1389*; BMC V, 181 (IB. 19738); CIBN T-165; IGI 9571; Lowry 84; Pr 4125; Goff T-193.
