SUMMENHART, Conradus (fl. 1476-1502). Opus septipartitum de contractibus. Hagenau: Heinrich Gran, for Johannes Rynman, 13 October 1500.
Chancery 2° (280x200mm). Collation: AA-BB8 CC6 DD-EE8 a-b8 c-d6 e8 f6 g8 h-i6 k-l8 m6 n-r8 s10 t6 v8 x-z6 aa-bb6 cc4 dd-ff6 gg8 hh-ll6 A-C6 D-H8 I10 K8 L12 M8 N-P6 Q8 R6 S-U8 X-Y6 (AA1 title with verses by Heinrich Bebel, AA1v contents list, AA2r summary, EE8v-a1r blank, a1v prologue summary, a2r prologue, a5r books 1-3, A1r book 4, y5r colophon, y5v-6 blank). 434 leaves. 50 lines and headline, double column. Type: 4:155G (title, headings and headlines), 8:80G (title, text). 5- to 8-line initial spaces with guide-letters. (Small wormholes affecting a few letters in first and final quires, very occasional light browning.) Contemporary pigskin over wooden boards, blindstamped, 2 brass fore-edge catches, missing clasps, yellow edges, (leather on back cover mended); stamps not in Kyriss/Schwenke-Sammlung. Provenance: Buxheim, Carthusians, inscription and stamp.
FIRST EDITION. In this work Summenhart combines theology and canon law to examine law as it pertains to the common person. He considers questions such as money exchange, buying and selling, loans and ownership, and, while as a theologian he believes charity is the greatest virtue, he treads the fine line between viewing any profitable venture as a sin and being able to make a profit with a clear conscience. The Klotz copy collates as Polain in the eighth to eleventh quires, varying from BMC, which calls for c-f6. HC *15179; BMC III, 688 (IB. 13806); Goff S-863; Polain(B) 3637; IDL 4254; IGI 9217
