Leipzig: Conrad Kachelofen, 1490. One of the first printed works with German translations of Seneca. There are some small but interesting variations in this book. From the copy of the same edition available to see on BSB #M214: Electronic facsimile: Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, München For example the München copy has different spacing of the type causing line endings to be crushed. The copy I offer has line 1 ending credulita while the München ends in cerdulit by line 2 in Sed, in the München ends S3.

Bound in modern boards covered with an antiphonal leaf. All the capitals are stroked in red There are contemporary manuscript annotations… Read More
