(Heinrich Quentell) (Cologne) (1494) Small quarto in 6s (5" x 8") bound 
in recent heavy oak boards with raised center panel and leather spine 
with three false raised bands, new endpapers. Later edition of this 
collection of church sermons, an incunable version of a best seller. 
Goff G-698. With 180 (of 184) leaves, lacking the title, a6, and the 
front and rear blanks, with the printing information contained on the 
colophon page which is present. Black letter type, 46 lines, rubricated 
throughout including a large number of attractive red Lombard flourished 
initial letters in manuscript. OCLC locates only the University of Texas 
copy of this edition. Scattered contemporary marginal notes. Varying 
degrees of dampstaining to less than a quarter of the leaves, rarely

minor and accomplished paper repairs in the margin. The colophon leaf 
has been trimmed and neatly laid down on later paper. Very Good example.
