ANGELUS DE CLAVASIO (1411-1495). Summa angelica de casibus conscientiae. With additions by Hieronymus Tornieli. Speyer: [Peter Drach], 1488.
Fourth edition overall, the first to be printed in Germany, of the principal work of Angelo Carletti of Chivasso, a noted theologian of the Friars Minor. The Summa contains 659 articles in alphabetical order forming an authoritative compendium of canon law. First published in Chivasso by Jacobinus Suigus in 1486, it attracted a wide readership going through 31 editions up to 1520, the year it was publicly burned by Martin Luther. RBH/ABPC show no records of this edition appearing at auction. HC *5386; GW 1926; BMC II 496; BSB-Ink A-526; ISTC ia00716000; Goff A-716.
Chancery folio (291 x 200mm). 369 leaves, rubricated, (without the blank leaf, some waterstaining). Contemporary blindstamped calf over wooden boards, titled in blind on upper board, bound at the Augustinian Monastery at Nuremberg [Kyriss 19, EBDB w000089] (lacking clasps and metal pieces, loss of leather to spine). Provenance: occasional marginal notes seemingly by ‘Eucharius’, apparently the rubricator of this copy – Amberg, Franciscan convent (17th-century inscription).
