INCUNABULA. 245 Wiegendrucke aus 106 meist deutschen Pressen by Wolfle, Robert (bookseller). Pressler, Christine (cataloguer) - 1985

Munich: Robert Wolfle, 1985. First Edition. Very good. 4to. 213, [3] pp. With numerous illustrations in b/w and color. Original wrappers (a little worn). WITH: Price-list (2 ff.) annotated in ink, back wrapper in pencil. NOT ex-library! While technically a "bookseller's catalogue," the level of scholarship in this volume rivals or exceeds many academic publications on the same subject. There are very thorough descriptions of 245 fifteenth-century books from 106 different presses. Of these, 99 are from German-speaking towns: Strassburg is the best represented, with 45 incunables from 16 different presses. The catalogue boasts many highlights, including three fine Strassburg Bibles, and a spectacular Cicero PRINTED ON VELLUM by Fust and Schoffer in 1466 (no. 57 = DM 75,000).
