Petrus de Alliaco (1351-1420)

Tractatus et Sermones. 1483

ALLIACO, Petrus de (1351-1420). Tractatus et Sermones. [Brussels: Fratres Vitae Communis, between 9 June 1481 and 1483]. [Bound with:] Passio Domini Iesu Christi secundum quattuor Evangelia; Guillelmus de Sancto Amore. Defensorium ecclesiae. [Lu¨beck: Printer of Calderinus (Johann Snel or Lucas Brandis?), c.1480].



Rare work from the press of the Brothers of the Common Life, the first and only press in Brussels in the fifteenth century. This press produced about 37 works between 1475 and 1485, after which the monastery scriptorium continued to produce and bind books by hand. HC 850; GW M32023; BMC IX 174; Goff A487; ISTC ia00487000. The second work is rare; in the UK, ISTC lists only a copy of the Defensorium section in the John Rylands Library, Manchester. H 12440; GW M29625; Goff P129, ISTC ip00129000.



2 works bound in one volume, chancery folio (282 x 200mm). Tractatus et Sermones: 272 leaves (of 274), 2- to 8-line initials supplied in red, red paraphs and initial-strokes, blank leaves s7-8 with extra text supplied in contemporary manuscript ‘de quatuor in quibus incipientes...’ (lacking a1 with table and A1 blank, a2 with tiny hole with loss of two letters, i3, l1, m4, I6, and L5 with very small marginal chips, occasional light dampstaining mainly confined to margins); Passio:70 leaves, 4-line initial supplied in red, red paraphs and initial-strokes, contemporary manuscript quiring in tiny letters. The text of the first work split between quires s and A with quires a-f of the Passio bound in between, and quires f-g of the Passio - containing Defensorium ecclesiae - bound at end of volume. Contemporary German blind-tooled panelled calf over wooden boards, outer roll-tooled border surrounding an inner border composed of circular and rectangular stamps, with a central panel of lozenge-shaped compartments each with a small fleur-de-lys stamp, metalwork corners, two clasps, pink alum-tawed index tabs along fore-edge (rebacked, joints just starting to crack). Provenance: Ampleforth Abbey (bookplate).
