About This Item
Paris: André Bocard for Jean Petit, 1500. Contemporary limp vellum (soiled, front hinge weak), 18th-century gilt calf spine (minor defects), manuscript title label, edges striped in red, evidence of four ties.
Only Edition, posthumously published by an anonymous French editor, who added the subject index and decried the low state of learning in England and Germany. Brulefer was "among the important Franciscan preachers of the late fifteenth century" (Sullivan). Contentious and controversial, he was banned from Paris.
Scattered foxing, two leaves soiled, one natural paper flaw, some lower edges uncut. In 1610 François Bullioud (fl. 1583-1633) gave this copy to the Lyon Jesuits, their memorial bookplate of 1610 and catalog entry of 1611.
¶Sullivan, Parisian Licentiates in Theology 101-3; Contemporaries of Erasmus I: 205-6; ISTC ib01222000; Goff B-1222.
