LEONARDUS DE UTINO (ca. 1400-1469). Sermones de sanctis . With the Italian poem in praise of the Virgin Trenta foglie ha la rosa... and its Latin translation Triginta folia habet rosa... . [Augsburg: Monastery of SS. Ulrich and Afra], 1474. Chancery 2 o (294 x 200 mm). Collation: [1-11 1 0 12 8 13 8(4+1, -8 blank) 14 6 15-21 1 0 22 4(3+1) 23-26 1 0 27 1 0(-9,10 blanks) 28-35 1 0 36 8 37-44 1 0 45 8] (1/1 blank, 1/2r table, 1/3r prologue, 15/1r In cathedra santi Petri , 38/1r Lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te , 45/8v colophon). 430 leaves (of 431, without the first blank). 38 lines. Type: 1:105R. Two- to nine-line initial spaces. Rubricated with small red Lombard initials, capital strokes (in table only), paragraph signs and underlines. 11/5 cancelled and replaced. 41/2r with the omitted line supplied in contemporary manuscript at the foot of the page. Two pinholes visible, one each in upper and lower margins. (Dampstains mostly to blank margins, 18/4r lightly inked, a few small wormholes to first ca. 20 and last ca. 20 leaves.) 19th-century quarter sheep, marbled sides (worn). Provenance : Seeon (Bavaria), Benedictines: 16th- or 17th-century inscription on 1/3r. The short-lived press at St. Ulrich and Afra, Augsburg's important Benedictine monastery, was founded in 1472 by its abbot, Melchior von Stamhaim, in an effort to continue the abbey's scribal tradition through the new technology of printing. Five presses were acquired from Johann Schssler and the building of another commissioned; types were provided by Gnther Zainer (type 2), Johann Bämler (type 2), and perhaps by Anton Sorg who later used the monastery's type 103G as his own type 1. An edition of the Speculum humanae salvationis (Goff S-670) and a German translation of the Dialogues of Pope Gregory the Great (Goff G-408) were completed in 1473, and the present edition of Leonardus de Utino in 1474. The output of the press included undated editions of several other popular religious works, all probably begun before Abbot Melchior's death on 30 January 1474. As BMC points out, the composition of the present edition seems to have caused difficulty for the printer. In several places, leaves were left blank without any break in the text; these were meant to be cancelled by the binder, as in this copy. In other places, individual text leaves were cancelled and replaced, at least in some copies, and in quire 41 lines were omitted or repeated in the setting. The present copy agrees with the collation of the George Abrams copy (Sotheby's London, 16 November 1989, lot 80), rather than with the collation given by BMC. The missing line at the foot of 41/2r has been supplied in contemporary manuscript, but the setting of 41/3 seems to be correct. HC (Add) 16130*; BMC II, 339 (IB. 5754); BSB-Ink. L-110; CIBN L-126; Pr 1632; Goff L-154.
