Prosper Augustinus (3 results)

Small Octavo. A remarkable volume on Augustines works on predestination and Pelagianism [primarily used in opposition to Luthers works] bound together as a sammelband. Most have been printed by Bernardino Stagnino (1483-1538). This volume was once from the library of William Snelling Hadaway (1872-1941) who likely acquired them when he and his then wife left for Italy in 1894. The rarity of these works is that most exist in less than two or three copies but based upon an examination in OCLC are not usually bound together. The six works of St. Augustine and three of Prosper Opusula relate to grace, free will and predestination. Staginos full name was Bernardino Giolito de Ferrarei and he published in his career 193 editions calling himself a libnorum mercator (a businessman). Although he published books of devotion and literature before 1500, he later began to supply serious scholarly editions with very nice woodcut initials and borders(as with this copy), intricate layouts of typography, and wood block engravings primarily for his title pages. Diane E. Booten in the Library Quarterly (Vol. 83, No. 1 (January 2013), p. 39-41, notes: During his career, Stagnino used at least three printer devices with variations.he represented the saint with the IHS monogram and three cast off miters. While many of these items appear on OCLC, it lists only a page count. We have provided an exact collation on each item to avoid any confusion. Most are italic type with transitional Roman type on some title pages. There are a few contemporary brown ink notations in the margins and some occasional short underlining. His use of Nota (instead of N.B) was typical of the early 16th century. Bound in contemporary light brown limp vellum, the spine written in heavy black ink: D. AURELII. AUGUST. HIPPON. The opening blank endpaper has various penciling from a later date, while the first free endpaper and its verso has a long (near contemporary) guide to the contents of the work. The volume has a newer brown cloth dust jacket, spine lettered in gilt and held within a brown cloth covered slipcase for protection.
