About This Item
Basilaea [Basel]: Nicolaum Bryling [Nicolaus Brylinger], 1557. Woodcut border and printer's device on title. INCOMPLETE. [8], 479 [of 500], [8] leaves. Lacking ff. 46-56 & 61-70. 1 vols. 8vo. Bound in contemporary blind panel-stamped pigskin over bevelled wooden boards, clasps removed, binding worn, exposing boards on rear cover, title page detached, contemporary marginalia by Johannes Weneken throughout. Woodcut border and printer's device on title. INCOMPLETE. [8], 479 [of 500], [8] leaves. Lacking ff. 46-56 & 61-70. 1 vols. 8vo. Brylinger published the only 16th century edition of Luther's Bible in Switzerland, published one of the earliest Greek and Latin diglot Bibles, and published a series of 8vo editions of the Bible with diglot and Greek-only text which was popular with students. Darlow & Moule makes no mention of this or any other Latin-only edition by Brylinger.
Front paste-down endpaper and front free endpaper display extensive annotations in Greek and Latin, presumably by Johannes Weneken. The marginal annotations provide a fascinating insight into how this book was used. Not in Darlow & Moule, but cf. 4621*; Adams 1056; OCLC: 46973017 (6 copies, only 3 of which in U.S.)
