(PAUL THE DEACON). Homeliarius Doctorum. (Basel, N. Kessler, Aug. 9th 1498). 2 parts in 1 vol. (239 (of 242)) lvs. W. full-p. cold. woodcut on ti.-p., repeated - but uncoloured before 2nd part, initials in red or blue, paragraph marks in blue or red added by hand. Fol.

(Apart from the lacking lvs. 1O6, 1V1 and 1V5, a very good copy w. ample margins, some annot. in an old hand in places, colouring of woodcut to first part a bit ran out, endpapers lack).NOTE: Second ed. published by Kessler and edited by Johann Ulrich Surgant of the collection of homilies and sermons from predominantly patristic sources, probably compiled by Paulus Diakonus between 782 and 786 on the orders of Charlemagne. The collection was widely distributed throughout the Middle Ages, although its composition and conception were repeatedly changed. The division of the homiliary, which was initially structured in two parts into the two sections of the church year ('Pars hiemalis' and 'Pars aestivalis'), has been replaced here by the division into 'De tempore and De sanctis'. A Basel manuscript (preface by the editor to the printer) served as the text basis. - Goff H-319; Hain-Copinger 8793*; GW 12931; BM 15th cent., III, p. 773 (IB. 37666).

First edition of Pagninus' translation of the OT. The Pagnini Bible was the first to divide the biblical text into numbered verses and one of the first revisions of the Latin Vulgate using the original languages. Sante Pagnini was an Italian monk and biblical scholar who eventually settled in Lyon, France. Like other scholars at this time, he became interested in studying the Bible in its original Greek and Hebrew sources. He completed his Latin translation in 1528, dividing his Bible into numbered verses for easier reference. His divisions, however, are different from the system used today, which was developed by Robert Estienne in 1551. Pagnini's translation of the Old Testament was widely known for its literal reading of the Hebrew and remained popular until the end of the 1500s. - Adams B1008; Darlow-Moule 6108; Heitzmann, Lat.

CRANACH, Lucas (1472-1553), after. ("Christ and the Apostles"). N.d. (c. 1550?). Series of 13 woodcuts of Christ and the Apostles portrayed in full, all v°'s blank. Each c. 315 x 180 mm. All hinged to cardboard mounts, divided over three separate 19th c. gilded oak wooden frames w. red velvet striping, each 'portrait' having its own glass window. (Margins trimmed/cut close to/on/over border line, some foxing/browning, and slight staining in places).NOTE: Very rare series, strongly resembling the series by Cranach, but with considerable differences (i.a. the adding of 'landscapes' at the foot of each print). Despite our efforts we have not been able to detect a similar series, neither in a collection, nor in auction. Our series does not include St. Peter. Each woodcut carries in the left outer section a 'stamp' which could be seen as a monogram? Thanks to the kind assistance of Frans Laurentius we could identify a watermark in 1 woodcut (most likely - as a coat of arms together with a rooster). This type of paper originates from Troyes in Champagne and was probably produced by the Nivelle family of papermakers, dates range between 1546 and 1557. - Cf.
