The print shop, which was run together with Berthold Remboldt from 1494, was a leader in the craft of black art due to its editorial and typographical care. -- -- Characteristic are the many figurative and floral initials, wood and metal carvings, for which there were over 150 stamps. Referring to Polain, Goff considers the attribution to the Venerable Bede in the foreword of Geoffroy Boussard to be erroneous. Rather, according to Goff, the compilation probably goes back to Drepanius Florus (ca. 800-860) (ibid.). - The so-called "Paulus-Initial" with the letter "P", which was specially created for this print, is particularly magnificent. It shows the Holy Apostle in the starry night sky with a book in the pulpit inside the curved "P", surrounded by the listening, worshiping crowd. At the bottom right in the gusset appears the figure of an oriental in a wide coat, cape and turban, who is listening "from afar" - a symbol for the Pauli mission to the heathen in Asia Minor, which, as is well known, has been with us for two generations ( for 47 years ) - at the time of printing fell to the Ottoman Empire after the fall of Constantinople. – The title page with crossed-out ownership entry at the top , old repair at the bottom (without loss of text), Wormholes (stronger at the beginning and end of the book), then only slightly wormed inside the block Text in Latin==================================Please see my other auctions Thank You Refund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.
