CAROLUS VII (1403-1461, King of France, 1422-1461). Pragmatica sanctio (7 July 1438). Commentary by Cosme Guymier. Lyon: Nicolaus Philippi (Pistoris), 6 September 1488.
Full-sheet median 4o (225 x 157 mm). Collation: a-z 8 (a1r blank, a1v commentator's preface, a2r text with commentary, 6v colophon, 7r rubrication table and printer's device, 7v-8 blank). 191 leaves (of 192, without final blank). Text with commentary surround, 40-50 lines commentary. Types: Haebler 11*:77G (commentary), 100G (Claudin III, 152-153 = Mathias Huss type 5). Philippi-Reinhard woodcut device (Polain Marques 60) printed in red. 2- and 4-line initial spaces with printed guide letters. (Dampstaining, innermost sheet of quire a loose, repaired tear to first leaf touching a letter, hole to a5 affecting 5 words, minor worming to last 3 leaves.) 19th-century vellum over pasteboard.
Provenance: a few contemporary marginal notes -- Poligny, Capuchins (18th-century inscription) -- M. Lugol (bookplate).
Rare edition, one of two printed at Lyon in 1488, of the Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges, a statement of Gallicanist principles which upheld the right of the French Church to administer its temporal property independently of the Papacy. This is the last of six editions signed by Nicolaus Philippi (Pistoris) alone. In 1477 Philippi, a Hessian, had established the second printing shop at Lyon in partnership with Marcus Reinhard, a brother of Johann Grninger of Strassburg. Although Reinhard's name ceases to appear in the colophons of the press after 1482 (he reappears at Kirchheim in Alsace in 1490), the use of the device with the "MN" monogram, probably referring to the partners' first names, in dated editions of August and September 1488 and a few earlier anonymous editions may imply that their collaboration continued for a few more years (cf. BMC VIII: xlvi-xlvii). Philippi died in 1489. His use of Mathias Huss's "characteristically Lyonese" typeface 100G (BMC VIII, p. 257 and pl. XXXIX) was not noted by Scholderer, and may have been limited to this edition. His commentary type 77 later passed to Johannes Trechsel (cf. CIBN J-298).
This copy is one of only three in America. C 1462=1737; Pellechet 3311; IGI VI 2526-A; Goff C-211.
