JOHANNES CHRYSOSTOMUS. Commentarius in epistulam sancti Pauli ad Hebraeos. Translated from the Greek into Latin by Mutianus Scholasticus. [Urach: Conrad Fyner, not after 1485].
Chancery 2o (293 x 210 mm). Collation: [1-128 13-146]. 108 leaves. 41 lines, double column, Gothic types 4:180 (first four lines of heading on 1/2r), 120 (other headings) and 5:96 (text). 11-line anthropomorphic M and smaller outline capitals. (Some dampstaining.) 16th-century blindstamped pigskin (remboitage, light rubbing and soiling). Provenance: Early ink marginalia and early manuscript index of 6 leaves bound in at end -- Estelle Doheny (morocco bookplate; purchased from Maggs Bros. London, 5 June 1944) -- donated to SMS 1944.
First and only fifteenth-century edition of St. Chrysostom's Commentary on Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews. A particular feature is the unusual woodcut initial M, which is one of a set, depicting chiefly biblical events which were used by Fyner at his Urach press. The book presents examples of all three of the new types which Fyner used there. BMC II,612 (IB 9009); BSB-Ink. I-340; H *5029; Harvard/Walsh 994; Oates 1244; Pr 2484; Goff J-277.
