The first dated edition of this curious mediaeval encyclopaedia, composed
about 600 and covering the whole range of know-ledge of the time. Of the twenty
books the first treats of Grammar, the third ofMathemtics and Astronomy,
the fourth of Medicine, the fifth of Law, the seventh of God and the angels,
the twelfth of Animals, the fourteenth of the Earth, Paradise, all the count-
ries of the world and the islands, the sixteenth on Minerals and Preci-
ous Stones, the nineteenth on Shipbuilding, Architecture and other
technological subjects. The work was written chiefly by Isidor of Sevilla and
was put in order and completed by Isidor’s friend and brother bishop, Saint Braulion
(ob. 646), whose name appears in the first sentence of the book.
In the colophon we read: „Per Gintherum zainer ex Reutlingen progenitum
literis impress! ahenis”, i. e. „printed with brazen letters”.
Good copy; two of the large woodcuts slightly repaired on the margins; slight
wormholes.
Very rare.
