Lot 93
[BASILIUS MAGNUS, i.e. BASIL OF CAESAREA] De poetarum oratorum histricorumque ac philosophorum legendis libris.
Liptzk [i.e. Leipzig]: Jacob Thanner, 1512. Early 20th century calf gilt, probably Italian. 7 1/2 x 6 inches (19 x 15 cm); 15 ff., collating a^(6) b^(4) c^(6) -c6, terminal blank; pressmark on C5 Binding worn, lacking final leaf, minor marginal staining, heavily annotated in a period hand; it is likely that this annotator added the rather crude but appealing colored capitals in the first section of the book.
A scarce post-incunable edition printed in Leipzig by a printer who apparently later printed an edition of the 95 theses for Martin Luther. VD 16 shows five editions by Thanner between 1508 and 1519, and confirms 15 leaves for this edition.
