Lot 4 | Augustine's Sermons
Valeur estimée
$ 10 000 – 20 000
Doheny copy of the first collected edition of the Sermons of Augustine, one volume the gift of Hilprand Brandenburg to the Buxheim Carthusians and with a hand-colored woodcut, both volumes in contemporary bindings. Augustine, a native of North Africa, played a pivotal role in the development of Christian theology in the Latin-speaking world. In addition to leaving behind a large body of philosophical treatises, he was a skilled preacher, trained in the Roman arts of rhetoric from a young age and recognized for his silver tongue in the service of God. This first collected edition of his sermons was edited by Augustinus Dodo of Frisia, whom the printer, Johann Amerbach, had sent on a mission across Germany to search for manuscripts of Augustine's writings. In this set, the first volume is from the library of Hilprand Brandenburg, one of the most prolific book collectors of this period (although his famous bookplate, as often, does not survive here). The second volume seems to have spent much of its early life in Augsburg, and is heavily annotated—most extensively around the Easter section. Susan V. Lenkey has argued that the woodcut of the Augustinian seal in this volume was designed by Albrecht Dürer during his time in Basel. A vitally important work with celebrated provenance, complete with all blanks. Bod-inc A-556; BMC III 756; BSB-Ink A-892; GW 2920; Goff A-1308; ISTC ia01308000.

Full-page hand-colored woodcut of Augustine preaching (a few closed marginal tears, some areas of smudged rubricator's ink).
