FIRST AND ONLY EDITION of this collection of letters and addresses. Three of the letters and the Regola utile a tutti religiosi had previously been printed (Giovannozzi 66, 69, 72, 241), but other works were only recently delivered, the last date specified being Assumption, 1497. The first two woodcuts, of a friar kneeling in prayer before an altar and of the crucifixion, had appeared in earlier books printed by di Libri, but the final cut of a devotional ladder ascending the cross probably appears here for the first time. BMC VI, 651 (IA. 27345); Giovannozzi 74; HCR 14451; IGI 8708; Sander 6778; Goff S-196.
