De proprietatibus rerum. Strasbourg : [Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg (Georg Husner)], 14 February 1485.
Early edition of the most-read encyclopaedia of the Middle Ages; this edition not in two of the greatest institutional holdings of incunabula, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Bavarian State Library. By citing Classical and contemporary sources, compiling and re-presenting earlier sources and contributing original observations and perspectives, Bartholomaeus’ De proprietatibus rerum set a new standard for presenting the sum of knowledge and ushered in the 'Age of Encyclopaedias'. It includes several sections on medicine, anatomy and physiology and was important for informing popular understanding of physical and mental health. This copy was likely bound at the Carthusian monastery at Gaming, Austria; its binding is identical to that on a copy of Eusebius (1500) in the BSB. Goff B-138; H 2506* = H 2511; GW 3410; Klebs 149.9; Bod-inc B-064A; BMC I 132; BSB-Ink B-96; ISTC ib00138000.
Chancery folio (268 x 189mm). 299 leaves (of 300, without final blank). Red initials (some light staining, I1 repaired at fore-edge obscuring a few letters, marginal tear without loss in T5, few small wormholes at end). 17th-century blindtooled pigskin over bevelled wooden boards, tooled with rolls and at centre the arms of the Gaming Carthusian monastery and likely bound there, spine lettered in gilt, blue edges (missing fore-edge clasps).
