Woodcut borders and printer's device to title, large and small woodcut initials throughout, lightly rubricated. [2], 76 ff. Collation AA10, BB-GG8, HH-II6,KK8. 1 vols. Small folio. Theological work by Nicolas de Cusa or Nicholas Cusanus (1401-1464), an early advocate for church reform (and thus a forerunner of the sixteenth-century reformers). Similarly, his philosophical inquiries broke with scholasticism and were praised by Giordano Bruno, who called him "divus Cusanus"; and through Bruno had an influence on Spinoza and Leibniz. "Cusanus indulged in many theologico-physical speculations concerning the form of the universe and the possibility of its infinity" (PMM). A three-volume Opera was printed the same in Paris at the same press, from a different setting of type, per Adams C3130; BP16 seems to group the two printings indistinguishably, but BnF RES-Z-280 (3) has foliation identical to this copy. Two vellum leaves are preserved at front: the first (backed with paper) simply listing the title in ink in an early hand, with a old pencil bookseller's note referring to Spencer catalogue, priced £10/0/0; the second has a Marian monastic ownership note concluding: Servanti benedictio tollenti maledictio At the back is a leaf from the 1498 Missale Coloniense, in two columns, fully rubricated with a nice stylized initial, with blue and red fish fin and scales for the E in Ego autem sicut oliva. The Missale was printed by Hermann Bungart in Cologne (GW M24324) and copies are held in 18 locations, many of which are defective or fragmentary; the leaf has repairs at outer margins and the verso is is a bit paste soiled.
