A well-preserved example of an early 16th-century wallet-style binding. In an address to the reader Johannes Ulrich Surgant (c.1450-1503) states that he discovered the manuscript, from which the printed edition was set (first by Kesler, also at Basel, in 1493), in a Basel library. The compilation contains homilies by the church fathers, as well as other great Christian figures. The full-page title woodcut also appeared in the first edition. VD-16 P-1050.
