Incunabula continued — 68 — Swjss Francs
Unrecht fur die erste; sie ist jedenfalls in Bezug aufs Datum gefalsdit. Eine Ver-
gleichung beider stellt die Prioritat der ersteren fest.” It is the first illu-
strated book published by Ratdolt at Augsburg and one of his
most beautiful productions.
Among the cuts we may mention the representation of the rescue of the
daughter of the Grofiwardein Bishop from the Turks by Ladislaus; the arms of
Mathias Corvinus within a circle; and the invasion of Tartars. Others depict
portraits of kings, battle-scenes, etc. The first two cuts mentioned above were
painted in colours, gold and silver. The circle with the arms was cut out and
set up in olden times.
Our copy is in the first state conform, to the first Brit. Mus. copy.
The book itself was printed at the expense of Theobald Feger, book-
seller of Budapest.
Clean and well preserved copy with some old MS. notes and a few small
stains. No complete copy has readied the market during the last years.
Perfect copies are extremely rare.
Only three copies in U. S. A. (acc. to Census).

342 TRACTATUS. De ruine | ecclesia planctu | Tractatus admirabilis, Vom stand der
Cristeheit | Qui diu clam delituit, wem mag es nit sein leid | Sed adhuc vivit
dominus, Der hat vns das anzeigt | Reuixit ipsa veritas, Die hat sidi zu vns
geneigt. | N. p. d. (Hagenau, Heinrich Gran, ca. 1505.)
4to. 8 unn. leaves. Swd. 15°-—
Hain 13032. Panzer, Deutsche Annalen, 46 c.
An interesting poem on the corruption of clergy and of men in other professions. The first
part of every line is in Latin, the rest in German, not a translation but a continuation. See Zapf,
alteste Budidrudcergeschichte Sdiwabens, S. 236, who supposes that it was composed after Alvarus
Pelagius’s De planctu ecclesiae 11. II.
It is an important document on the state of corruption existing before the reformation, and
belongs certainly to one of the books which prepared it, for it treats mostly of the clergy.
A rare specimen of Latin-German poetry.
Fine large and clean copy of this rare edition.
343 Translatio miraculosa Ecclesiae B. Mariae Virg. de Loreto. N. p. d.
(Rome, Eucbarius Silber, about 1500).
8VO. Goth. letter, 23 lines, 4 unn. leaves without sign. With
a fine full-page cut representing the miracle of S. Maria
in Loreto. Swd. 750*—
Reidiling Suppl. 198 is the only bibliographer of this extremely
rare edition and quotes only one copy of it.
The booklet describes the miraculous removal of the house where S. Mary
had lived from Nazareth to Dalmatia and thence to Loreto in Italy. The
fine title-cut shows the Virgin over the Churdi which is supported by four
angels.
Fine copy of this extremely rare Roman woodcut incunabulum.
