JOHANNES DE BROMYARD (d. c.1352). Summa praedicantium. Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 29 June 1485.
Second edition of John of Bromyard's alphabetical catalogue treating of every subject suitable for a preacher preparing his sermons. A Dominican friar, Bromyard became Chancellor of Cambridge University in 1383, and took on a prominent role in the condemnation of the doctrines of John Wycliffe. It remained in print into the 17th century and is valuable today for our understanding of medieval social history. H *3994; BMC II 427; Bod-inc J-110; CIBN J-167; BSB-Ink I-374; Goff J-261.
Royal folio (406 x 283mm). Without the first blank leaf, initials in red, rubricated, much of the original quiring preserved (occasional faint browning, small wormholes touching some letters in final quires). 16th-century German pigskin over wooden boards, panelled with several roll-tools in blind, title written on top edges (rubbed, small wormholes). Provenance: Wessobrunn, Benedictine monastery (early inscription, engraved bookplate).
