LOPEZ, Juan (or Johannes LUPUS,1440-1496). De libertate ecclesiastica: tractatus Joannis Lupi... Eiusdem tractatus dialogic: de confederatione principum potentatum.. . Strassburg: Joannes Schott, 3 February 1511. 4 o (209 x 149 mm). Title printed in red and black with historiated woodcut border in red clair-obscure technique by Hans Wechtlin Modern calf. Provenance : inscription dated 1513; early marginalia; W.R.H. Jeudwine (bookplate; his sale London, Bloomsbury Book Auctions, 18 September 1984, lot 85). FIRST EDITION, CONTAINING ONE OF THE EARLIEST SPECIMENS OF CHIAROSCURO PRINTING. The title border (formerly attributed to Hans Baldung Grien) by Hans Wechtlin (ca 1480-ca 1526) shows two naked boys wrestling at bottom, two others acting as umpires and holding toy windmills; the top and sides are filled with a festoon and trophies of arms. "Schmidt... knew only of the Stadtbibliothek copy at Strassburg. This method of colour printing was seldom used, but Schott, the printer, produced several specimens in this manner, and was probably the first to use this process for borders of title-pages, &c... The earliest example by Schott mentioned by Proctor and Dodgson (II, p.257) is in a folio book of 1510, Nov. 5, though the border has the date 1511: the present example seems to be the next in order of line" (Fairfax Murray). Lopez's text is a legal treatise on ecclesiastical immunity of taxes and a dialogue on the right of princes to form alliances, by the late fifteenth century Spanish jurist Juan Lopez, a canon of Segovia who died in Rome in 1496. VERY RARE: RLG lists only copies at Cambridge, University of Minnesota and Yale. According to American Book Prices Current the only copy to appear at auction in the last 35 years was the Hauck copy, sold Christie's, 27 June 2006, lot 219. Adams L-1724; BM/STC German p.534; Fairfax Murray German 248; Pr 10269; Schmidt Jean Schott 19.
