BREVIARY, use of Regensburg. Pars Hiemalis. Winter part only, in Latin. Bamberg: Johann Pfeyl, 10 October 1495. First volume (Winter) of 2 only. Royal 2 o (348 x 255 mm). 438 leaves. 46 lines and headline, double columns. Printed in red and black, red Lombardic capitals. Type: 13:110G, 14:110G. 2 large woodcuts. (Some minor marginal worming, small hole in fol. 125 affecting a few letters.) Contemporary blind-tooled dark pigskin over wooden boards, upper cover decorated with roll tolls and fillets, lower cover with roll tool border and central panel tooled to a saltire pattern, the intersections of the fillets marked by small rosettes, the compartments filled with a rhomboid lion tool (not in Schwenke-Sammlung ) and lower cover in two different designs, upper cover spine painted white for monastic shelving, two brass clasps, leather tabs. Provenance : Georg Klauspeck to Wolfgang Braun Eyssen ("Georgius klauspeck domino Wollfgango Bran eyssen" early 16th-century gift inscription); Vollbehr-Neylan (pencil note); Clifford Rattey (bookplate); acquired from Lathrop C. Harper, 1975. This Breviary for Regensburg in Bavaria was commissioned by the Bishop, Rupert II, Duke of Bavaria-Simmern, who is depicted on the first of the two large full-page woodcuts. He is on his knees at right of the large coat-of-arms of Regensburg underneath of the seated figures of St. Peter and St. Paul. St. Wolfgang stands at their left holding the model of a church. This woodcut is ascribed to Michael Wolgemuth, the teacher of Albert Dürer. The second very fine large woodcut represents a calendar with the sun in the center, dated 1490. The winter breviary contained the daily offices that all clerics were bound to recite. VERY RARE: according to American Book Prices Current no copy of this book and only two books by this printer, sold at auction in the last 30 years. BSB-Ink B-886; Dodgson I, 248; Goff B-1177; GW 5435; HC 3886; Muther 666.
