HIERONYMUS (St, c.342-420). Epistolae. Venice: Bernardinus Benalius, 14 July 1490.
This edition of St Jerome's Letters is almost a page for page reprint of Torresanus’s 1488 edition, part of the prolific output of Bernardinus Benalius, a native of Bergamo, who printed his first dated book, the Supplementum chronicarum of Jacopo Filippo Foresti, in 1483. HC *8560; GW 12432; BMC V 372; BSB-Ink H-251; CIBN H-107; Goff H-172.
2 parts, royal folio (413 x 270mm). Near-contemporary illuminated initial within laurel-wreath frame opening each part, rubricated in blue and red (stain in first few leaves, persistent marginal waterstaining, heavy in final quire, without the two blanks). 17th-century Italian vellum, red and green speckled edges, spine label (a little worn at extremities). Provenance: marginal annotations, mostly contemporary (some cropped by the binder).
