Flores legum secundum ordinem alphabeti. [Venice: Bernardinus Stagninus de Tridino, c.1500]. [Bound with:] Brocardica Iuris. [Paris:] Etienne Jehannot for Jean Petit, [after 1500].
2 works in one volume, chancery 8° (130 x 85mm). Gothic type, first work with one woodcut initial, 2nd work with printer's device. (Hinges cracked, first title and last leaf reinforced at margin, occasional light dampstaining.) 19th-century calf-backed boards, spine gilt, red edges (spine cracked at hinge, corners rubbed). Provenance: early inscription erased from title page of work I -- early inscription on second title page -- ?19th-century owner's purchase inscription on endleaf -- ?19th-century owner's inscription on endleaf ('no. 206 de mon catalogue').
RARE. The online ISTC lists only two locations for each work. The online ISTC attribution of the first work to Bernardinus Stagninus de Tridino, c.1510, is based on the text type which is similar to that found in Stagninus' Roman Missal of 3 July 1509. GW, however, dates the Flores legum to Venice: 1500? and BMC (It) assigns it to Venice: 1505?. GW's dating of the Brocardica iuris to after 1500 is based on Petit's device. I: Pell 4837; BMC (It) p.269; GW 10067. II: Pell 3017; GW V col 558.
