GRITSCH, Conradus (not after 1409 - before 10 October 1475). Quadragesimale. [Nuremberg]: Anton Koberger, 27 February 1479.
A large, fresh copy of a collection of sermons for Lent providing preachers with a plethora of material, ranging from scripture, patristics, and classical and medieval literature to history. Goff G-494.
Royal folio (396 x 280mm). With first and last blank leaf, initials in red, rubricated (small wormholes in last 3 quires touching some letters). Bound at the Domincan convent at Nuremberg, possibly by Konrad Forster [Kyriss 21 or 119, cf. stamps EBDB s006378]: contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, 5 metal bosses on each cover (missing clasps, some wormholes, minor wear at spine head). Provenance: Johannes Zinner (contemporary inscription; a Konrad Zinner was a dean at Amberg at the end of the 15th-century) -- Amberg, Franciscan convent (17th-century inscription) – Munich, Royal Library (‘Duplum’ on pastedown).
The collection is commonly identified in early editions as the work of Johannes Gritsch, a canon of Basel. Since 1940, however, it has been attributed to Johannes' brother, Conradus Gritsch, a Franciscan who studied in Paris and Vienna and served various churches in Switzerland. First printed in c. 1474, the Quadragesimale was published in at least 25 incunable editions. A 1969 private communication by Kyriss to the owner confirmed the attribution of the binding to the Dominican convent at Nuremberg. H *8066; GW 11545; BMC II 417; BSB-Ink G-396; Goff G-494.
