A fine, complete copy with contemporary illumination and colouring, from the liturgical library of Charles Louis de Bourbon, of the fourth/fifth edition. The first book printed at Magdeburg was the first edition (1480) of the Magdeburg Missal, printed by Bartholomaeus Ghotan but with the assistance and types of Lucas Brandis. When Lucas's brother, Moritz, moved from Leipzig to Magdeburg, he brought out 2, and possibly 4, editions of the Missal. All are very rare (one is known only in a proofsheet destroyed during World War II) and most are imperfect. No copy of any 15th-century edition has been sold at auction for over 60 years.
