BONAVENTURA (Saint, 1221-1274). Opuscula . Brescia: Bernardinus de Misintis, for Angelus Britannicus, 31 December 1495. Chancery 4 o and half-sheet royal 8 o (179 x 126 mm). Collation: s4 (r title, v table of opuscula newly printed in this book, r table of contents by chapters and folios); a-p 8 q 4 (a1 blank, a2r text [see BSB-Ink. and GW for full contents], q4 blank); aa-gg 8 (aa1r pseudo-Bonaventura, Stimulis amoris... , gg7v colophon, device, gg8 blank). 184 leaves. 44 lines and headline, double column. Types: 5:96G (title, first table of contents), 6:64G (text). 2- to 10-line initial spaces with printed guide letters. Paragraph marks supplied in red. Early manuscript foliation. (Small wormhole through first two quires, stain to n1 obliterating a few letters, supplied in ink, a few leaves browned, dampstaining in final quire.) Early 20th-century quarter calf (worn, hinges split, head of spine defective). Provenance : a few 16th-century marginalia -- Cremona, Bibliotheca Sant'Angeli (18th-century inkstamp on title). Fifth edition of this collection of genuine and spurious tracts attributed to St. Bonaventure. Bernardinus de Misintis worked at Brescia and Cremona in partnership with Caesar Parmensis in 1492-93, before settling definitively in Brescia by 1494. He continued to work on his own and occasionally for the powerful Britannici brothers, who dominated early Brescian printing, until the end of the century. Britannicus provided the text type used for this edition and for a 1497 reprint by Misintis. This copy is one of a few from an early state with a variant printing of the title, and with the text printed on b4r-b5r line 38 mistakenly reprinted, through a compositor's error, on i6v-i7r line 14 (as in GW note). Not surprisingly, the error seems to have resulted from two compositors working in tandem, the abbreviations and orthography differing substantially in the two versions of the text. The mixture of paper stocks in this copy, fairly evenly divided between quarto and octavo, differs substantially from that in the BMC copy. In this copy, quires b, i, k, m, o, p, aa, bb, cc and dd, the two outer sheets of quires a, c, h, and ee, and the two inner sheets of quires l, cc, and ff are octavo half sheets, the rest being quarto full sheets. HC 3467* (incl H 3481); BMC VII, 989 (IA. 31242); BSB-Ink. B-672; GW 4649; Harvard/Walsh 3433; Pr 7033; Goff B-929.
