32 BROADSIDES. — INNOCENTIUS VIII. Bulla „Pro salute populi
christiani” for the benefit of Klosterneuburg. Dated Rome, 2 March,
1485/86. N. p. d. (Passau, Johannes Petri, 1486).
BROADSIDE (24,3X31,7 cm). Gothic types, 33 lines. With
a large xylographic capital, and the first word in woodcut.
Frs. 500.-
Not in Hain, Copinger, Reidiling etc. Einblattdrucke des XV. Jahrh. 733 c.
Probably the only copy known of this impression of a bull for the be-
nefit of the convent of Klosterneuburg.
It is printed with the type 4 of Joh. Petri and adorned by a large calli-
graphic I in wood cut. The first word (I)nnocentius is also cut in wood.
Very fine copy, with large margins, measuring 5—6 cm. A few small, in-
significant wormholes.
33 — SIXTUS IV. Bulla indulgentiarum de aedificatione ecclesiae Nord-
lingensis. (At end:) Datum Romae apud sanctum Petrum Anno
incarnacionis dominicae 1479 quinto idus Februarii . .. Collationata
est hec praesens Copia Bullae indulgentiarum per me Judocum
Pflantzmann (name in MS.) Notarium publicum et concordata
cum originali. N. p. d. (Augsburg, Hermann Kaestlin, after
9. Fehr. 1480.)
Folio sheet, printed in a beautiful Gothic type on one side
only, 77 long lines (includ. headlines), with xylographic heading
„Nordlingen” and a large Maiblumen-capital S at beginning of text.
Size of the body of the text 41*3X29*1, total size 52’6X39 cm.
Frs. 450.—
Einblattdrucke des XV. Jahrh., no. 1355- Copinger 5529. B. M. Cat. of
Incun. II, 362. Five copies only recorded.
The extreme rarity of all original fifteenth-century indulgences is so well-
known that it seems needless to comment upon it. This bull, however, deserves
a special interest, not only for its typographical beauty, but also as being the
earliest extant product connected with the press of Herm.
Kastlin who is known to have printed only 8 books and some broadsides in
the years 1479—85. Besides, it is notable for bearing the AUTOGRAPH-SIG-
NATURE OF JOD. PFLANTZMANN, printer at Augsburg, who in his capacity
as a notary public and ’’Fiirsprech” at the ecclesiastical court of Augsburg
had to authenticate the impression of the bull.
This bull of indulgences from all sins was given to those who regularly
attended at church and gave contributions towards the building of a new church
at Nordlingen, a small town in Bavaria, belonging to the diocese of Augsburg.
Slightly damaged at top left-hand corner, dampstained on top and mounted,
but a good copy of an extremely scarce broadside w. large margins.
No copy in U. S. A. accord, to Census.
