1495ABC_47543Cologne: Heinrich Quentell 1495. Recent marbled paper over boards by the Geneva bookbinder Jean-Luc Honegger b. 1953 who set up his atelier ca. 1978 signed with his honegger stamp in blue ink at the foot of the back paste-down sewn on 3 recessed supports the marbled paper in an antique spot pattern see Wolfe 162-163 with black spots on unusually fine-grained grey Stormont spots and with veins in red turquoise orange dark blue and white black morocco spine label with the title in gold roman capitals reading up the spine. Small Chancery 4to 20.5 x 14.5 cm. With a large woodcut 10.0 x 8.8 cm on the title page: depicting a teacher Pope Gregory the Great ca. 600 CE declared a saint in 1295 with a dove on his shoulder his attribute seated behind a lectern with an open book instructing two of his pupils seated before him each with a book in his hands with above them a scroll inscribed Accipies tanti doctoris dogmata sancti. Set in a single column with 36 lines to the page in a rotunda gothic type Quentell type 7 here 79G though in the Typenrepertorium 80G with a larger textura gothic for the first line of the title Quentell type 10 155G though the only capital in that line is the 8 mm lombardic initial S Quentell initials e described as 6/7 mm but noting that they are used with type 10. With spaces left for manuscript initials 1 6-line and many 3-line a few - mostly on b1v and b2r - with manuscript guide letters in black ink. Most pages with a few words underscored in black ink. Quentells second quarto edition of the well-known manual on the art of dying in the original Latin matching his ca. 1493 quarto edition almost line for line and using the same woodcut quite different from any used with this text before that date. Quentells quarto editions contain the original long version of the text known as Speculum artis bene moriendi often attributed to Matthaeus de Cracovia or Albertus Magnus editions in Italian are often attributed to Dominicus de Capranica Cardinal of Fermo. The Ars moriendi was one of the earliest incunabula printed and consists of two related Latin texts written around 1415 and 1450 offering guidance on how to have a good death according to Christian beliefs of the late Middle Ages. The texts were written in response to the Black Death and social upheavals of the 15th century with the earliest versions likely composed in southern Germany. The highly popular Ars moriendi was translated into many West European languages and was the first in a tradition of guides to death and dying. The first edition in the original Latin appeared ca. 1474 but was preceded by a German edition in 1473 and perhaps by an edition in Italian described as ca. 1471/75. Quentell published the Latin text together with other works in a folio edition described as ca. 1484/89 but he published four quarto editions of the Ars moriendi alone described as ca. 1493 the present ca. 1495 ca. 1498 and another probably after 1500. He published no Ars moriendi editions in vernacular languages. His first three quarto editions have the same collation but the present edition matches the ca. 1493 edition almost line for line and uses the same woodcut while the ca. 1498 edition differs considerably and uses a different woodcut.Heinrich Quentell one of the greatest early Cologne printer-publishers issued many theological and philosophical texts for university use but also liturgical texts working both alone and with Johann Helman who may have also jointly employed contract printers and dispatched servants to sell books. Quentell was one of the first printers to consistently provide his books with title-pages with approximately 91% of his over 380 publications including one.Quentell used the present Magister cum discipulis-woodcut in several other editions including the Heymericus de Campo Promptuarium argumentorum 1492 GW 12406 and Jacobus van Gruitrode Speculum aureum animae peccatricis 1493 GW M10728. Wynkyn de Worde used a copy in his Parabolarum Alani cum commento 1508 STC 254.3 and other printers copied it as well.All Quentells Ars moriendi editions are undated and the present one used his types 7 and 10 and initials e which all apeared in his books in the period 1488 to 1500. The present edition is probably dated ca. 1495 in the literature because it appears to fall between the two quarto editions thought to date from ca. 1493 and ca. 1498.The bookbinder Jean-Luc Honegger still active today is best known for his bindings for the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris and the Bodmer Foundation near Geneva. With the bookplate of the Bibliotheca Philosophia Hermetica Joost Ritman in Amsterdam and probably bound for them. Slightly browned water stains at the foot of a few leaves not approaching the text some smudges in the margins and on the blank final page. The binding slightly worn at the extremities and with a few unobtrusive scratches on the back board. Otherwise in very good condition and only slightly trimmed about 5 mm at the head and probably no more at the fore-edge and foot giving generous margins about 2 3 and 4 cm at the head fore-edge and foot respectively and some leaves with tranchefiles at the foot.l Bibliothèque Nationale Catalogue des incunables A598; BMC I p. 294; Bod-Inc A449; Bohonos Szandorowska Incunabula quae in bibliothecis Poloniae asservantur 562; BSB-Ink A766; Buffévent VIII 45; Goff A1098; Günther Wiegendrucke der Leipziger Sammlungen 781; GW 02610; HC 14911; ISTC ia01098000; Madsen Kongelige Biblioteks inkunabler 352; Ohly-Sack 274; ÖNB-Ink A483; Pell 1339; Polain 972; Proctor 1425; Sack Freiburg 306; Sallander Uppsala 2046; Schramm VIII 484; Schreiber Manuel de lamateur de la gravure sur bois et sur métal au XVe siècle 3671; Thienen Incunabula in Dutch libraries 425; UBL-Ink A354; USTC 739947; Voulliéme Die Buhdrucker Kölns 305; Voulliéme Inkunabeln der Königlichen Bibliothek 1011; Voulliéme Trier 697.

45867Johann Gruninger Strasbourg 1485. 8vo Intact single page with appropriate light age tanning and creases and only a small tear at upper left edge. This is a single page of a very famous hand printed German bible from one of Europe's most important pre 1500 printers. Recently mounted on black board with a gold frame. Both sides are printed and the page is only lightly attached at its upper edge to the mounting. Obviously over 530 years old now and is a small example of great historical interest.
