Biblia latina (cum postillis Nicolai de Lyra et expositionibus Guillelmi Britonis in omnes prologos S. Hieronymi et additionibus Pauli Burgensis replicisque Matthiae Doering). [With:] Nicolaus de Lyra. Contra perfidiam Judaeorum. Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 1493.
A complete set in uniform contemporary bindings with 4 illuminated opening initials, and early printed leaves as pastedowns: one volume with approximately 8 leaves from the rare Conradus Wimpina (1465-1531), De erroribus philosophorum in fide christiana. Leipzig: [Gregorius Böttiger (Werman)], 1493 (only two auction records of this 20-leaf book; both in the 1930s (RBH/ABPC)); and two volumes with leaves from Augustine printed in red and black. This is one of four editions of the Bible with the literal commentary of Nicolaus de Lyra printed by Koberger between 1485 and 1497. The woodcuts are those of the 1485 and 1487 editions. HC *3170; GW 4293; BMC II 436; Bod-inc B-323; BSB-Ink B-469; ISTC ib00618000; Goff B-618.
4 parts in 4 vols, royal folio (345 x 235mm). 1,432 leaves (with all three blanks). Each part with an illuminated opening initial in green, pink and blue, other initials and rubrication in red and blue, numerous woodcut illustrations, some full-page, early printed leaves reused as pastedowns (occasional light worming and soiling). Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards from a shop called 'Art Speyer Blüttenblattwerk' [Schwenke/Schunke p.59 Blattwerk 567, p.165 Laubstab 214], each vol. with two clasps, manuscript labels on spines, fragments of manuscripts on vellum – including one from a 15th-century bible in German and one from an early 15th-century commentary on Aristotle’s Physics in Latin – reused around the text block (extremities rubbed, somewhat darkened). Provenance: Eichstätt, Capuchin Abbey (inscriptions and annotations) – HW (monogram stamps).
