Pigskin somewhat soiled and rubbed title page of first work tipped onto 2 leaves lightly browned due to paper quality with intermittent foxing and occasional mostly trivial stains and smudges final leaf with a two-inch to half-inch triangular piece torn away from the upper half of the fore edge affecting a total of perhaps 80 or 100 words. Still a copy featuring a binding with antique appeal and considerable interest in terms of provenance see below.<br/> <br/> Offered in its original blind-stamped pigskin binding this imposing collection of Counter-Reformation sermons by an influential preacher is of special interest because of the impressively large hand-painted ex-libris at the front. The two groups of sermons bound together here were written by Johann Wild 1497-1554 a Franciscan who was educated at Cologne and who served as the Domprediger official cathedral preacher at Mainz Cathedral. Wild's sermons were very popular and it has been suggested that they played a significant role in keeping Mainz Catholic at a time when many surrounding cities were converting to Lutheranism. Despite his being a Catholic hero for a time Wild later became a controversial figure in the Church: many of his works eventually faced posthumous censure even being placed on the Vatican's Index Librorum Prohibitorum on the grounds that they might invite scriptural misinterpretation. Our copy was owned by a second German Counter-Reformation figure Johannes Salicetus i.e. Johann Wideman whose exuberantly large hand-painted ex-libris takes up nearly the entire front pastedown. Salicetus was rector at the University of Ingolstadt which had become a bastion of Catholic thought in Southern Germany under the leadership of theologian Johann Eck 1486-1543 an outspoken Luther opponent. A relative and very close friend of Eck Salicetus composed Eck's eulogy USTC 698476 as well as a marital poem for his son Oswald USTC 2213477. The enormous bookplate is apparently a coat of arms and features a particularly proud central figure posing staunchly in a very red suit with a prominent codpiece and holding three stalks of wheat. While this peculiarly emphatic expression of ownership is surely not unprecedented we have never owned a book with provenance shown in quite such a dramatic fashion. druckts Franz Behem, [Arnold Birckmann (I) (heirs of)] unknown
