WANN, Paulus (d. 1489). Sermones de praeseruatione hominis a peccato. Nuremberg: Fratres Ordinis Eremitarum S. Augustini, 1479-91].
4o (189 x 145 mm). Collation: [14 2-88 96]. 74 leaves (including the first blank). 41 lines and foliation. Gothic type 1:79. Capital spaces, marginal section-letters. Rubricated in red with Lombard initials, capital strokes, paragraph marks and underlining. (Foliation cropped, few letters of colophon slightly trimmed, light worming throughout, affecting text slighty, first blank leaf reinforced along inner margin.) Modern vellum, ink lettering on spine. Provenance: Estelle Doheny (morocco bookplate; purchased from Dawson's Bookshop, Los Angeles, 1 January 1942) -- donated to SMS 1942.
FIRST EDITION. The Augustinian Friars at Nuremberg maintained a sort of private press, printing only eight or nine books from 1479 to 1490, and the Augustinian Missal of 1491. All their books are set in one fount and type-size. This work is unevenly printed, the foliation is very irregular and there are some typographical errors; nevertheless the monks produced an attractive little book. BMC II, 459 (IA.7924); H *16147; Pr 2223; Goff W-3.
