The second edition of the sermons of Pseudo-John Chrysostom, by the first printer at Nuremberg. John Chrysostom, whose name means “golden-mouthed” in Greek, was a renowned fourth century preacher and theologian whose authorship was ascribed to a wide variety of later works. This work was translated from the original Greek under the encouragement of Pope Nicolas V, the founder of the modern Vatican Library and patron of humanist scholars like Valla and Manetti. This copy is heavily annotated, perhaps as a use-copy. BSB-Ink I-362; GW M13361; ij00305000.
Folio (329 x 231mm). 68 leaves (of 70, without blanks). Initials and headlines in red ink. Modern red morocco by Albert Oldach (wear to edges). Provenance: copious early marginalia.
