[ECCLESIASTICUS.] Jhesus Syrach Teutsch. Im Latein Ecclesasticus genant / Von Burgerlichen Tugenden, unnd Erbar Hausszucht. In ein newe und richtige Ordung gebracht. Nuremburg: Georg Lauterbeck, 1574.
Apparently unrecorded German edition of Ecclesiasticus. This work, composed by the Jewish scribe Shimon ben Yeshua ben Eliezer ben Sira of Jerusalem, from approximately 200 to 175 BCE, is a work of ethical teachings, and comprises part of the Apocrypha. Lutheran Churches exclude it from the Biblical canon, but include it in lectionaries and devotional reading. By the end of the 16th century, it was being published in many German editions; this one follows a 1570 Nuremberg edition by Nicolaus Knorr, which has similar (but different) woodcut borders. Not reported by VD16 nor in any other major institutional catalogue or bibliography; ABPC/RBH fail to record any copy selling at auction.
12mo (126 x 72mm). Title printed in red and black, text printed within woodcut border throughout (small worm hole affecting some letters in first quire, title repaired at margin without loss, final leaf with margin repaired with small loss, a couple of leaves trimmed close touching borders). Contemporary blindstamped German calf, gilt and gauffered edges (later endpapers, upper cover scored through but holding, lower cover cracking, short split to upper joint at head of spine).
