HUGO DE SANCTO CARO (c.1200-1263). Postilla super psalterium. Venice: Joannes and Gregorius de Gregoriis, de Forlivio for Stephanus and Bernardinus de Nallis, 12 November 1496.
Super-chancery 2° (320 x 215mm). Gothic type, double column, woodcut initials. (Short neat marginal tears in first two quires, some predominantly marginal dampstaining.) 16th-century German half blindtooled pigskin over unbevelled boards, yellow edges (repaired at head of spine, 2 clasps missing). Provenance: Bettenbrunn Collegiate Church (17th-century inscription on flyleaf) -- Donaueschingen, Court library (sale Sotheby's 1 July 1994, lot 162).
This work has been attributed to both Hugo de Sancto Caro and Alexander de Ales. The de Nallis' had a privilege to print all the hitherto unpublished works of both these writers on the Old and New Testaments. They themselves seem to have been uncertain as to the true authorship of the work and left the incipit on 19a blank. H *8972; BMC V, 349; Goff H-530.
