NIDER, Johannes (c.1380-1438). Sermones de tempore et de sanctis cum quadragesimali, Ulm: Johann Zainer, [1478-80].
Second edition, following an unsigned edition printed at Esslingen by Conrad Fyner, c.1476-1478. Four other editions of the work were also published within 2 years, attesting to its popularity. Nider was a theologian from Vienna, but he gained a wide reputation in Germany as a reformed preacher. He played an important role both in the Council of Constance and of Basel, supporting the reformed Catholicism. HC *11802; BMC II, 529; Bod-inc N-099; BSB-Ink N-175; Goff N-216.
Chancery folio (285x195mm). With 2 (of 3) blank leaves, woodcut ornamental initials, tabula rubricated, a few sermons rubricated and annotated in red, bearer type on 2 leaves (a few leaves lightly browned, a few neat tears, minor wormholes in last 2 quires). Contemporary Ulm blindstamped pigskin [Kyriss 126] over wooden boards (without clasps, lightly worn and darkened, ?bookplate removed). Provenance: later ink annotations.
