Collation: [1-3 10 ] (1/1r dedication by Bollanus to Nicolo Marcello, 1/1v text). 30 leaves. 35 lines. Type: 1:103R. 2-, 4- and 5-line initials and capital strokes in red. H *3436; GW 4616; BMC I, 63 (IB. 622); Goff B-835; Pellechet 2567 [Bound with:] pseudo-EUSEBIUS CREMONENSIS. Epistola de morte Hieronymi . -pseudo-AUGUSTINUS. Epistola de magnificentiis Hieronymi . -pseudo-CYRILLUS. De miraculis Hieronymi . [Blaubeuren: Conrad Mancz, about 1475]. Chancery 2°. Collation: [1-7 8 8 10 ] (1/1r text, 8 10 blank). 65 (of 66, without final blank) leaves. 31 lines. Type: 1:120G. 2- to 4-line initials, paragraph marks and capital strokes in red. (Faint dampstaining, tear at fo.33 extending into text but without affecting any letters repaired, marginal rust mark and small hole in final two leaves.) H *6718; GW 9447; BMC II, 564 (IB. 10112); Goff H-239; Polain(B) 3977; IDL 1746 Early 16th-century half pigskin over wooden boards, blindstamped with rolls, (missing single fore-edge catch, inner hinges reinforced). SECOND EDITION of all works. The Bonaventura follows by only nine months the first edition, which was also printed by Sorg. Traditionally the text is included in works of Bonaventura, but it is actually by the Minorite Conradus Holzinger de Saxonia, as argued in Quaracchi's 1904 edition of this text. The Bollanus first appeared about 1474/75 at Venice appended to the Sermones de Adventu of Robertus Caracciolus, and it is in this combination that it is most commonly found in 15th-century editions. The present edition is thus unusual as well as rare (only two copies are recorded in America), since it is the first separate edition of this work; an original purchaser could actually have combined it with the Caracciolus, which the same printer produced at about the same date and with a matching lay-out. The third work in this volume is the popular collection on St. Jerome. It is one of only a few books PRINTED BY THE FIRST AND ONLY PRINTER AT BLAUBEUREN IN THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY; Mancz was active for only three years, from 1475 through 1477.
