ALBERTUS DE PADUA (1282-1328). Expositio evangeliorum dominicalium et festivalium. — NICOLAUS DE DINKELSBUEL (c.1360-1433). Concordantia in passionem dominicam. Ulm: Johann Zainer, c.15 June 1480.
A wide-margined copy in an unusual contemporary binding, with a manuscript account from a contemporary witness to the events of 1486. Second and last incunable edition of the Gospel exegesis which was first published in Venice in 1476. H *574 (incl. H 11762); GW 785; BMC II 526; Bod-inc A-094; BSB-Ink A-133; ISTC ia00340000; Goff A-340.
Chancery folio (285 x 205mm). With blank, several smaller sheets with deckle edges, opening initial supplied in blue with red penwork decorations, other initials in red and blue, rubricated, manuscript strips reused as quire guards in first and a last few quires, very occasional early quiring (light fingersoiling, occasional marginal staining). Contemporary German blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, manuscript vellum label on upper board (top half of the spine renewed, without clasps, somewhat darkened). Provenance: account from an apparently contemporary witness to the events it describes: how Duke Albert IV of Bavaria-Munich seized the imperial fiefdom of Regensburg and in the winter married the daughter of Emperor Frederick III in Innsbruck. A second hand (beginning ‘Al Maio succedente’) adds the events of ‘the following May’, mentioning Sigismund of Austria, and George of Landshut, i.e. George of Bavaria (inscription on front free endpaper) – this whole paragraph is rewritten with the contractions expanded in a later 16th-century hand – inscriptions at the end of the index dated 1496 – Fürstenfeld, Cistercian abbey (annotations) – Munich, Royal Library (‘Duplum’).
