RARE. Only 3 copies recorded in Goff. Thielman Kerver, a native of Coblenz, was the last in a line of printers to take over the firm originally founded by Ulrich Gering. Soon after his first appearance as libraire in 1497, he set up his own press in partnership with Georg Wolf, with material from Wolf's previous association with Johann Philippi. Printing largely for other publishers, during the first few years Kerver's output was evenly divided between classical and humanist texts and Books of Hours; it was later weighted more heavily to production of the more lucrative liturgical texts. He continued printing until his death in 1522. Brunet V:1616 no. 163 (note); Bohatta (1924) 675; Goff H-400.
