ILLUSTRATED INCUNABULA
Hemmerlin works are not only of highest interest Tor Swiss History but also for
history of civilization. Several tracts are written against Beghardos, Beginas and
mendicant friars, several treat of legal matters a. o that whether it would be
allowed to receive 5% interest, another deal with exorcism, demoniacs &c.
„Doctoratus in stultitia” and „Tenor littere doctoratus in stultitia” are the proto-
type of Brant’s Ship of Fools. Finally we mention the examination of the question,
whether the peasants of Zurich should be allowed to bring beams of their wine-presses,
which have been destroyed during the war, on a festival day.
At the lower part of title an old entry relating to the prohibitory index. The
last four leaves are stained by water, but it is a very fine, large copy preserved
in its original binding.
See Reproduction, below.
No. 129. Hemmerlin. (Strassburg, Georg Husner, ca. 1497.)
