FIRST AND ONLY 15TH-CENTURY EDITION utilizing for the first time an unusual set of Romanesque woodcut capitals thought to have been based on the St. Gall manuscript used as the copy-text for this edition see BMC II p.338. The blocks were later acquired by Ludwig Hohenwang and thereafter by Johann Bämler. This short-lived press stood at the Benedictine monastery of SS. Ulrich and Afra in Augsburg an important center of manuscript production in the early 15th century. Its abbot Melchior von Stainhaim in 1472 established a monastic press intended for the use of the monks; it ceased operation shortly after his death in January 1474. Anton Sorg worked at the press prior to establishing his own in 1475. Based principally on the Liber glossarum and the Abavus maior this compendium of Latin glossaries in two sequential alphabets was widely copied from the 12th century onwards in southern German-speaking regions. The text was already misattributed in the 12th century to the 9th-century Bishop of Constance and Abbot of St. Gall.
