About This Item

Paris: Jean Petit. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1510. Leather Bound. Cxliiii, [5] ff. Signed a8-t8 (missing t8, a blank). Small octavo, 5" x 3.5" Date of March 19,1510 at the colophon. In handsome modern calf with 4 raised bands to the spine and blind ruling, no title. Iehan Petit elaborate title woodcut. Title page slightly trimmed, old inscription mostly cut off, institutional stamp at bottom of a2, a few leaves trimmed at the top, last leaf has a light stain midpage, a very few pages with some light old underlining, otherwise clean and unmarked. There is a digital copy online that collates to this copy, including the missing last leaf presumed to be blank. Petit seems to have published at least 3 editions of Saint Antoninus's "Confessionale" in the early 1500s, all of which are quite scarce. This 1510 seems to be the most scarce, with OCLC locating only one copy, at the British Library. OCLC 556466238. While Petit financed the publishing, the printer was probably Francois Regnault, according to Moreau. The beloved late medieval saint whose name was originally Antonius but whose fellow citizens felt such affection for him that they insisted on the cozy diminuitive of his name. He became archbishop of Florence in 1446 where his home was known as a hostel for the poor and where he was renowned for his charity and aid, especially during the plague of 1448 and the earthquake of 1453. The Summa confessionum, first published in 1472, was one of his great works; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 288 pages .
