JEROME - Lot 194
JEROME [Sixteenth century book]. Jerome (Saint). Epistolae selectae, & in tres libros distributae Parisiis, apud. J. Bertault, 1599. Large in-16, [16]-417-[53] f., contemporary soft parchment, smooth spine, traces of binding (parchment wrinkled, a few tears at edges; corners of vol. worn at beginning of vol., a few very faint wet spots in margins, f. k1 and p4 torn without loss, one corner missing in margin of f. y1; notes in margins, rare old underlines). New edition of this selection of letters of St. Jerome according to the text established by Peter Canisius (1521-1597). This edition, addressed to the Parisian bookseller Julien Bertault, is very rare: we have not found any copy in the major online library catalogues. However, we note that there is a similar printing, addressed to Jean Febvrier and of the same date (USTC 199257), a very likely sign of a shared edition.
