GRATIANUS (d. 1158). Decretum. Commentary by Bartholomaeus Brixiensis and Johannes Teutonicus (Semeca). Edited by Sebastian Brant. Basel: Johann Froben, 13 June 1493.
The first of two Froben editions of Gratian's important compendium of canon law, both edited by Sebastian Brant. A 15th-century composite copy consisting of quires from both Froben's editions, brought together c. 1500. The majority of the quires is the 1493 edition, but the first and last 2 quires are from the 1500 edition; the uniformity of decoration and the contemporary binding make it clear this marriage is strictly contemporary. A result is duplication of the title and and woodcut portrait of the author, as well as a list of headings not included in the 1493 printing. HC *7912; GW 11377; BMC III, 790; BSB-Ink G-278; Goff G-384.
Chancery quarto (210 x 154mm). Printed in red and black, occasional capitals spaces, mostly with guide-letter. Woodcut portrait of the author in duplicate, both portraits hand-coloured, 13-line illuminated initial N on a2r, supplied leaf Aa2 with illuminated initial and flourish at margin. Aa-Bb6 (Bb5 blank) and RR-SS8 (SS8 blank) supplied from the Froben edition of 1500. (4 quires [Aa-Bb, RR-SS] replaced by quires from the 1500 edition, marginal dampstains, P4r slightly soiled). Contemporary German blindstamped calf over wooden boards, title tooled in blind on upper cover, spine with dragon in medallion stamps, chased metal center- and cornerpieces, '55' on fore-edges (a little worn, losses of leather at spine leather, without clasps).
