A Colophon Leaf fromPadua, 1473

$450.00

Click the images for enlargements.

The text is St. Thomas' highly influential theological treatise: It is printed in a small gothic with roman influence, in double-column format, 48 lines per column, with hand rubrication and one initial (“A”) accomplished by hand in blue. The type bears all the appearance of a trial font and clearly was one that did not gain favor, thereby making it yet more interesting.

• ISTC it00197000; Goff; T-197; Hain; 1440*; BMC, VII, 911 (IB. 29893); Pr *6781; Oates 2550. Overall dust-soiling; old creasing, one tear into text without loss, and some small, pin type worming. One margin reinforced and two other small areas with modern paper reinforcement. A very nice early incunable leaf, and a handsome representative of an early Italian incunable. (26688)
