First and only incunable edition of Augustine’s commentary on the letters of Paul. The printer, Gering, had set up the first press in France with Michael Friburger and Martin Crantz. After a period of time working alone or with others, he partnered with Rembolt, who would later marry printer Charlotte Guillard, and with whom he printed this attractive work.

Super-median folio (352 x 234mm). 249 leaves (of 250, without final blank). Woodcut printer’s device on first leaf, large historiated P and several smaller woodcut initials, some historiated (small repairs to final leaves, one touching printed headline of final leaf, first few leaves a bit fingersoiled, scattered spots and wormholes). Modern brown morocco (a bit of staining). Provenance: a few marginal notes – Giorgio di Veroli (1890-1952, Italian financier and collector who fled to New York City during WWII; his sale, Parke-Bernet, 28 February 1956, lot 68) – acquired there via Lucien Goldschmidt.
