NIDER, Johannes (c.1380-1438). Sermones de tempore et de sanctis cum quadragesimali. Ulm: Johann Zainer, [1478-80].
Second edition in a contemporary binding by Jörg Schapf of Augsburg. Nider was a theologian from Vienna, but he gained a wide reputation in Germany as a reformed preacher. He played an important role in both the Council of Constance and of Basel, supporting the reformed Catholicism. This edition follows an unsigned edition printed at Esslingen by Conrad Fyner, c.1476-1478. HC *11802; GW M26968; BMC II 529; Bod-inc N-099; BSB-Ink N-175; ISTC in00216000; Goff N-216.
Chancery folio (280 x 190mm). 318 leaves (of 319, without one of 3 blanks), 3 large initials in red, other smaller woodcut initials, some coloured red, rubricated (portion of first blank missing, a few leaves lightly browned, some corners faintly waterstained). Contemporary Augsburg blindstamped calf by Jörg Schapf [Kyriss 63, EBDB w000045], 10 metal centre-and cornerpieces, clasps, titled in manuscript on later spine label (headcap just chipped). Provenance: Brixen, Convent of Saint Elizabeth, by gift of Johannes Obersdorffer – a late 15th-century Dominican inscription mentioning Leonardus de Utino and Thomas de Sancto Dominico – inscriptions in a contemporary hand on pastedowns.
