An early 16th century edition of the famous Nicolas de Lyra Bible, containing his much-vaunted commentaries. These are the first four volumes of seven, including the “Postillae” and the “Moralia” of de Lyre, the “Additiones” of Paul de Sainte-Marie and the “Replicationes” of Mathias Döring. This edition follows off the 1520 imprint first published by Jacques Mareschal, which followings the Froben edition of 1506-1508.
The text is printed in a gothic font, with some woodcuts and numerous woodcut initials throughout. Each title page bears a repeating woodcut vignette and frame.
Four vellum bound volumes in folio, 377, 315, 440, 479+(1) leaves
These volumes are in very good shape, with minor rubbing and wear to the binding. There is some browning and foxing throughout, with some dampstaining affecting the margins occasionally, though more extensive in the fourth tome. There is also very light worming affecting a few letters in Tome 1, 3, and the end of 2.
