More contributions and notes to a new Campbell edition

Introduction

Perhaps outsiders consider the fact that bibliographies are seldom complete as a depressing circumstance. To the true bibliographer however it is rather exhilirating that by remaining on his qui vive he will probably not fail to find undescribed editions.

So, since in 1956 my Contributions to a new Campbell were published¹, some 23 or 24 unrecorded Low Country incunabula have again come to my notice. They are offered here as a Supplement to the preceding work.

I have tried to arrange them in the following list A according to the numbers on which they ought to be placed. In a few instances this offered difficulties, because their right number was already occupied. Then a nearby number had to be used.

Under letter B notes and corrections to Chapter I of my former Contributions have been added; under letter C notes, corrections and additions to Chapter II. A few other corrections are given in D.

I feel convinced that further research will bring new finds. It is even known to me that Prof. W.G. Hellinga and L. Hellinga have spotted several, the names of which they kindly showed me, but which have not been inserted here. They are going to publish them elsewhere. Still, if again incomplete, the present additions to my Contributions may be of some use.

The Hague, September 1963.

A. Additions

116b bis	ALEXANDER DE VILLA DEI, Doctrinale. P. I-IV. Deventer, (Rich. Pafraet), 12 March 1489. 4^o. 's-Gravenhage KB. (imp.; bought at sale London, Sotheby, 13-14 May 1963, no. 39).
478b	COMPOSITA verborum cum commento. Antwerp, Ger. Leeu, 17 Jan. 1488. 4^o. Shrewsbury School Libr. J.B. Oldham in The Library XIV (1959), 89.
555b 555c }	DIALOGUS consolatorius Fernandi quinti et Isabellae... de obitu Ioannis eorum gnati. S.n.l.a.? (Antwerp, Gov. Bac, ab. 1497). 4^o. Rome Bibl. Vallicelliana (fragments of two different editions; microfilms and photographs in BM.).
610a	DOMINUS quae pars? (Gouda, Ger. Leeu, ab. 1484. 4^o). Madrid BN. Mentioned by Curt F. Bühler in his review of my Contrib., in The Papers of the Bibliogr. Society of America 51 (1957), 173. The attribution to Leeu, apparently taken from the Cat. of inc. Madrid, no. 1600, is wrong. A reproduction showed me that the printer is Jac. de Breda, Deventer. Date uncertain. About 1500? Or somewhat later?

[p. 131]

633a	DONATUS, AELIUS, De octo partibus orationis s. Ars minor. (Utrecht?). Antwerp, Ruusbroec Gen. (1 leaf on vellum). 28 lines. Unknown edition? Probably printed in the Low Countries. The type resembles the Speculum type, but is not identical.
640d	-, -, - - -. (Antwerp, Math, van der Goes, ab. 1482-83). 4^o. Brussels BR. (imp.). Verzameling kostbare werken, enz. (Brussel 1961), 22 ss., no. 9 (with reproduction).
	FERDINAND V et ISABELLA. See DIALOGUS.
841b	GETIDEN van O.L. Vrouwe. (Paris, Joh. Higman for Willem Houtmart, Antwerp, 1497?). 8^o. The imperfect copy, mentioned in Contrib. 841a, note and once in the possession of Ellis, belongs now apparently to Mr. John Buchanan Brown, London who has had the kindness to give me further informations about it. The differences of this fragment with the copy of 841a in the British Museum are so great that it must be considered as belonging to another, unknown edition.
909bb	HEGIUS, ALEXANDER, Farrago. (Deventer, Rich. Pafraet, ab. 1480). 4^o. 's-Gravenhage KB. (copy Arenberg-Schab). Cat. Schab 23 (N. York 1957), no. 22; Kon. Bibliotheek. Winst van een kwarteeuw ('s-Grav. 1962), no. 80.
936a	HIERONYMUS, S., Speculum valde horribile. (Bruges, Jan Brito, c. 1477-81). 4^o. N. America Private owner (Curt F. Bühler?). See Curt F. Bühler in his review of my Contrib. (quoted here in note to 610a), 173.
945b*	HISTORIA de veneranda compassione virginis Marie. (Deventer, Jac. de Breda). 8^o. Brussels BR.; London BM. Inserted as an incunable in BMC. IX, p. 75 s. (undated). The fact that Polain, Belgique did not mention the Brussels copy proves apparently, that he considered it as printed after 1500, like we did in NK. 1081. Cf. also my review of BMC. IX in Het Boek XXXVI (1963), 61.
	HYMNI. See SEQUENTIAE et hymni.
	JOHANNES. See SIEBENHIRT.
1135a	LIBELLUS de modo confitendi et penitendi. Deventer, Jac. de Breda, in profesto decollationis Ioannis Baptiste (28 Aug.) 1489. 4^o. Danzig St. B. H. Jędrzejowska et M. Pelczarowa, Cat. inc. Bibl. civit. Gedanensis (Gedani 1954), 383, with full description.

[p. 132]

1160b	LIDEN ende passie ons heren Ihesu Cristi. S.n.l.a.? (Delft, Jac. Jacobsz. van der Meer, after 2 June 1487). 4^o. Lessing J. Rosenwald, Jenkintown (imp.; only 36 of the 88 leaves). Early printed books of the Low Countries from the Lessing J. Rosenwald coll.. Exhibition Libr. of Congress, Washington 1958, no. 60. Identified there, not quite correctly, with 1160a, and consequently stated as such in Contrib., p. 168. Better described in Oude drukken uit de Nederlanden, Boeken uit de coll. Arenberg thans in de Verzameling Lessing J. Rosenwald, Tentoonstelling Den Haag-Brussel (1960), no. 64 as a mixture of two edd. When able to examine the Rosenwald copy at The Hague I found that it consisted of: an incomplete copy of 1160a, lacking the quires a^8-c^8, the leaves 1-2 and 7-8 of quire d and k^8, which had been partly supplied by those of a similar, hitherto unknown ed., now called here 1160b. See for further details R. Pennink and W. Post in Het Boek XXXV (1961-62), 214 s. and 218. I do not share their supposition that 1160b is an earlier ed. than 1160a. A comparison with the copy of 1160a at The Hague proved to me that some of the woodcuts are more worn in 1160b (for instance on fol. 3b, 5b, 20b), which points to priority of 1160a.
1173b	LITTERAE confraternitatis datae a priore conventus Zwollensis ordinis predicatorum. (Zwolle, Peter Os van Breda), 1480. vellum. Zwolle, Archives of the Town (charter no. 1845). F.A. Hoefer in Bijdragen tot de Geschiedenis van Overijssel XIV (Zwolle 1907), 75-96; S.P. Wolfs in Het Boek XXXV (1961-62), 127. In the above copy there has been added with ink to the printed date of MCCCCLxxx by a contemporary hand: iiij die vicesiā men marcij.
1366b	PAULUS DE MIDDELBURGO, Prognostica ad viginti annos duratura. Antwerp, Ger. Leeu, 28 Sept. 1484. 4^o. Cambridge UL. Oates 3879. Mentioned as a variant ed. by Campbell in his note to 1366. It is however a totally different ed. having only the same date. According to G.D. Painter in The Library XII (1957), 282 and BMC. IX, p. 186, note to IA. 49732 it has been printed after CA. 1366.
1378ee	PERAUDI, RAYMUNDUS, Litterae indulgentiarum pro tuitione fidei contra Turcos et renovatione ecclesiae Xantensis. (Gouda, Printer of the Litterae indulgentiarum of 1486, now called Printer of the Historie Hertoge Godevaerts van Boloen, 1487, before 26 April). vellum? London Public Record Office. Dennis E. Rhodes in Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 1959, 61 s., with reduced reproduction. Also mentioned BMC. IX, p. ix, note 1. Cf. about the Gouda press ibid. IX, p. 38.

AENEAS SYLVIUS (PIUS II), Epistola ad Mahumetem. (Netherlands? Printer of the Leo, Sermones, ab. 1470). 4^o. To be cancelled here, together with 167a* and 811a*. The group of editions of The Printer of the Leo, Sermones has now been attributed definitely by Dr. Victor Scholderer to an unknown German printer, probably living in the Eastern part of the country. Cf. his article The Printer of Leo I, Sermones (Proctor 3248) in The Papers of the Bibliogr. Society of America 54 (1960), 111-113. See also BMC. IX, p. xxxiv.

Cf. suggestions about the printer by Dr. M.P. van Buijtenen in an article in Fryske Studzjes oanboan oan Prof. Dr. J.H.

Soltész in Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 1963, 49-52 not printed in the Low Countries but at Rostock by the Fratres domus horti viridis. Consequently to be cancelled here. BMC. IX, p. 209 placed it under ‘Books printed in Belgium in unassigned types’.
633^14-41	DONATUS, AELIUS, De octo partibus orationis s. Ars minor. (Utrecht?). There is a fragment in the Gutenberg Museum, Mainz, Saliceto-type, 27 ll., which belongs probably to one of these edd. Cf. Gutenberg-Jahrbuch 1959, 58. III.
