GREGORIUS I (Saint, c.540-604)
Pastorale, sive Regula pastoralis. [Basel: Martin Flach, not after 1472]. [Bound with:] BUTRIO, Antonius de (c.1338-1408). Speculum de confessione. Vicenza: Hermannus Liechtenstein, 31 Jan. 1476.
Second edition of St. Gregorys Pastoral Rule and first edition of the Speculum de confessione. Both works are concerned with pastoral care, that of Gregory the Great providing guidance for those entrusted with the cure of souls and also covering how pastors should live and teach, and the Speculum on confession. Although explicitly cited as the work of jurist Antonio de Butrio in incunable editions, the work has subsequently been identified as part of a larger work by Berengarius Fredoli (cf. CIBN B-950). A fresh copy with strong type impressions and pinholes preserved in the second work. I: HC *7982; GW 11441 (Anm.2); BMC III, 739; Bod-inc G-225; BSB-Ink G-324; Goff G-437; ISTC ig00437000. II: HC 4184*; GW 5828; BMC VII 1036; BSB-Ink A-632; Goff B-1345; ISTC ib01345000.

2 works in one volume, chancery quarto (195 x 138mm). 152 and 58 leaves, respectively, including first and final blanks in Butrio. Each work rubricated by a different hand (blank corner of first leaf torn, light dampstain in first work, very occasional light spotting). Contemporary red-stained leather over thick wooden boards (new clasp and bosses on each cover, rebacked preserving parts of early backstrip and two labels).
