AUGUSTINUS, Aurelius (St., 354-430). Soliloquia ( Volventi mihi multa... ). [Augsburg: Günther Zainer before 5 June 1473]. Chancery 2° (283x195mm). Collation: [1-2 10 3 8 ] (1/1r text, 3/3v blank, 3/4-8 ps-Augustinus, Speculum peccatoris ). 23 (of 28, lacking the final 5 folios containing the Speculum peccatoris ) leaves. 35 lines. Type: 2:118G. 3- to 4-line initials in red, capital strokes in red on fo.1r. (Bifolium 1/1.10 and final quire rehinged, first leaf very lightly soiled.) Modern vellum over pastepaper boards, slipcase. FIRST EDITION. This is one of nine tracts which Zainer, first printer at Augsburg, printed in uniform format and which could be brought together in a single volume with a printed contents leaf, as the copy at Munich with rubrication date 5 June 1473. Each tract is, however, bibliographically independent and more commonly found alone or in various combinations with others. Even the present tract, to which the pseudo-Augustinus Speculum peccatoris is integral, is frequently found separate as here, and Goff assigned each its own entry. H *8589(v); Goff A-1333; Polain(B) 355bis, 4437; IDL 2290; CIBN H-118
