ANGELUS CARLETUS DE CLAVASIO (1411-95)
Summa angelica de casibus conscientiae. Additions by Hieronymus Tornieli (fl. 15th century). Venice: Paganinus de Paganinis, 7 June 1499.
A popular compendium of canon law from the London religious house of Crutched Friars. Ker records 7 other books surviving from the Crutched Friars convent near the Tower in London, all but one printed. An early reader complied with censorship imposed at the English Reformation by neatly crossing out references to the pope. It is somewhat ironic that this work – essentially a dictionary of moral theology – survives from the London Crutched Friars, since it was condemned when Thomas Cromwell caught its prior in flagrante delicto. HC 5401*; GW 1945; BMC V 460; Bod-inc. A-294; BSB-Ink. A-537; Sander 403; Goff A729; ISTC ia00729000.
Super-chancery octavo (158 x 108mm). 466 leaves (of 476, lacking final quire containing the table of contents). Title printed in red and black, woodcut of St. Peter on title, rubricated with initials alternating in red or blue, red capital strokes (first and last two leaves lightly soiled and rehinged affecting a few letters in final leaf). Contemporary Flemish panel-stamped calf over wooden boards, panels composed of 2 rows of angels playing music [somewhat similar to Goldschmidt p. XLVI, a Ghent binding), two fore-edge clasps (hinges weak, spine worn with some leather missing, later flyleaves). Provenance: London, Convent of friars of the Holy Cross [Crutched Friars] (contemporary inscription on pastedown) – some marginal annotations, the word ‘pape’ censored on leaves v11-12.
