Sobre este artículo
217 (of 218) ff. (lacking the final blank).Roman type,Early undated Latin edition (the first, by the same anonymous printer, was produced around 1470) of the Sophologium of the French Augustinian preacher Jacques Legrand (1360-1415). This is a collection of moral maxims and wise passages from poets, orators, philosophers, and theologians, well selected and arranged in three books, containing ten treatises. The collection reflects on human virtue and vice, excerpting passages on morality - as well as the natural sciences - from authors as wide-ranging as the Persian astrologer Abu Mashar (Albumasar) and the Arabic philosophers Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and Ibn Rushd (Averroes), but also Terence, Saint Paul, and Chaucer. The Sophologium was extremely popular and was reprinted and translated several times, including by William Caxton, who published an English translation (titled The Book of Good Manner) in 1487.The name R-Printer is derived from the peculiar majuscule R in type 103. This printer is now generally identified with Adolf Rusch of Ingeweiler, who married Johann Mentelins daughter Salome and is said to have succeeded to Mentelins printing business.Some toning, occasional dampstaining, single wormholes in blank top margin of 1st ff. and black fore-edge margins of final quires; an interior tear in leaves [56] and [133]. Edges of binding rubbed, head and tail somewhat defective. 15th century manuscript note on the author on the original flyleaf (bound within) and a few occasional marginal annotations, corrections, manicules or readers marks. Old bibliographical notes and catalogue cutting on front flyleaf. A very good rubricated copy with wide margins.l HC 10471*. GW M17665. Goff M-43. Polain 2459. BMC I:62. BSB-Ink M-23.
