Richard and Mary Rouse in their fundamental article 'The Verbal Concordance to the Scriptures' Archivum Fratrum Praedicatorum 44 1974 5-30 have shown that three attempts were then made to produce such a concordance all seemingly at St. Jacques. It was the third of these to which the name of Conrad of Halberstadt was later erroneously attached by Trithemius that won the day and obtained the largest diffusion. Over eighty manuscripts of this version survive the majority written in Paris between 1280 and 1330" Paul Meyvaert and Serge Lusignan review of Novae concordantiae Bibliorum Sacrorum iuxta vulgatam versionem by Bonifatius Fischer in: Speculum Vol. 56 No. 3 July 1981 pp. 611-613. <br/><br/>Johannes Mentelin had published the first printed Bible in German in 1466 and Nicolaus de Lyra's Postilla super totam Bibliam a commentary on the Bible in 1472. Of the approximately 40 works ascribed to his press the Concordantiae bibliorum is notable as "very peculiar in its method of signature and shows in an interesting manner the transitional period between the manuscript and printed methods of signing" William Blades "The Use & Development of Signatures in Books" in: Books in Chains and Other Bibliographical Papers 1892 pp. 110-112. The signatures mostly preserved in this copy are printed in the lower right corner. The text is divided in quarters and designated with stamped signatures "a" through "d". The copy in Leipzig UB has a rubricator's date of 1474 establishing the latest possible year of publication. <br/><br/>Scarce: Only two other copies have been offered at auction in the last 40 years: The Blades-St. Bride Foundation-Rattey copy sold Swann 15 April 2004 lot 45 now in the Scheide Library Princeton and the copy sold Christie's London 17 November 1976 lot 143. These were both rebound and we trace no copies in contemporary bindings on the market. ISTC lists only seven copies in North America: Brown; LoC; La Casa del Libro; Mrs. Alexander P.

14869BDEHOBV62VDWürzburg: Georg Reyser 1486. Later bound in two leaves from a 13th-century vellum theological manuscript rubricated and decorated with alternating red and blue initials with penwork. Folio. Printed in red and black in rotunda type 32 lines; printed area: 18 x 12 cm; type: 112a. With illustrations cut from 19th- or 20th-century reproductions of early woodcuts ca. 21 x 14 cm pasted on the front Annunciation and back pastedown Christophorus with the year "cccc xx tercio". Interesting example of the study of early printing in 19th-century England. The 12 leaves come from the library of the 19th-century collector Dr C. Inglis whose father boasted an impressive collection of early printed books. Inglis believed that the leaves came from an unknown work titled De vita et honestate clericorum ex consilio Moguntinum printed in 1453 by Gerhardus Episcopus. Tipped in is a letter to Inglis by the well-known bibliographer William Blades discussing this matter. Although the text opens with "De Vita et honestate clericorum ex consilio Maguntinensis Gerhardi Archiepiscipi" it was in fact part of Statuta synodalia herbipolensia printed at Würzburg by Georg Reyser in ca. 1486. The first 6 leaves are 2-d7 and the final 6 leaves are quire g.With owner's inscription of Sir Edward Coates bookplate with initials "CC" Clifford Coates the bookplate of Dr. C. Inglis and some annotations on front pastedown; an autograph letter signed by Wiliam Blades to C. Inglis tipped to flyleaf. 12 well-preserved leaves.l Cf.
