Ege Famous Bibles Leaf 08

Abstract

This image is from a collection created by Etta Hanson and given to the College in 1954. All items are from Otto Ege's estate. The leaf was contained and mounted in a mat created by Otto Ege, as were all other leaves in this collection. There is a typed description at the bottom of the mat, which reads: "First edition of the Latin Bible in which catch words were used. This version contains N. de Lyra’s celebrated commentary, Postillae litterales et morales. The interlinear notes are in small type, which is seldom found. Most of the incunabula Italian Bibles were printed in roman rather than gothic type. (Hain 3174)"
