MELISSANDER, [Bienemann] Casper. Beicht und Betbüchlein für Christliche Communicanten. Mit vorgehendem Unterricht, von der Beicht, Absolution, und Abendmahl dess Herrn. Auffs new zugericht... Leipzig: printed by Frantz Schnelboltz for Bartholomaeus Vogt, 1598.
8o (149 x 95 mm). Each page surrounded by woodcut border. (Some worming at beginning and end.) Contemporary Saxonian "Platten-Einband" of calf over thin wooden boards, sides almost entirely filled by a richly ornamented blind-stamped "plate" design, hand painted in green, red, yellow and gold, corners and center inlaid with a small square piece of mirror glass, spine in six compartments, gilt and gauffered edges, remnants of silk ties (rubbing to upper cover with central mirror missing). Provenance: purchased from L'Art Ancien, 26 November 1959.
A PAINTED LATE-RENAISSANCE BINDING from Saxony with the corners and the center set with small square pieces of mirror glas, exceedingly rare in this condition. Gustav Beck noted about this particular binding, after it was send to him by L'Art Ancien: " We are dealing here with a painted "Platten-"binding done in Saxony (possibly Leipzig) about 1600, i.e. at a time when the high-point of such painted Saxon bindings had already passed (1560-75). This is confirmed by the glass-inlays and I have found only one other such binding with inlays, at the Library of the Germanisches Museum of Nuremberg..."
