Epitoma expositionis sacri canonis missae. 

Speier; Conrad Hist, 1499

ChanceryQuarto:20x14cm.signatures:A-B4C-K8/4L8 L8isblankandpresent. Aiiiir has a large woodcut of Christ on Gods Lap. And some very interesting woodcut initials.

The BMC (III,703) notes that the “woodcut T with a snake was probably suggested by that

preceding the Canon of the Mass in Kollicker’s Constance Missal, 1485 (IC. 37565) “This refers to the Edition of “Tübingen: [Johann Otmar, for Friedrich Meynberger, between 20 Feb. and 29 Nov. 1499] The wood cut in that edition is very very different

to the wood cut here. As you can see from the image above the Large type on the title is very rough almost looking like wood cuts.

 

This book also has type which is the same as those used by Knoblochtzer ) Heidelberg and Gran (Hageneau). This edition is printed from Otmar’s Tubingen edition, which appeared presumably

not long after 20 February, 1499 (IA. 14819). The cut on A4b takes the place of a larger cut of the Crucifixion in Otmar edition.

The prefatory material consists of a letter to Friedrich Meynberger, Tübingen February 20, 1499, by Wendelin Steinbach. With a poem to the clergy and to Wendelin Steinbach by Heinrich Bebel and with an epitaph to Gabriel Biel.- Second of Biel’s writings posthumously edited by Wendelin Steinbach. ” Biel wrote the ‘Epitome …’ with regard to the ‘simplicices sacerdotes’, which are ‘scolasticarumsublimatumminusexercitati’ This,itisnotamereexcerptfromthelarger ‘Expositio’, but an independent and different often overlooked work

Gabriel Biel (d. 1495). Biel was heavily influenced by William of Ockham. Although other scholars appear in the most important of Biel’s scholastic works, his Collectorium circa quattuor libros Sententiarum (written from 1484 on) — there are also numerous references to Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, Robert Holcot, Adam Wodeham, Gregory of Rimini, and Pierre d’Ailly — Biel tells us explicitly that his purpose is to capture the meaning of Ockham’s Sentences commentary in abbreviated form. Biel was read by the young Martin Luther and that Biel acted as something of a conduit through which some later-medieval scholastic thought was channeled to the Reformation and perhaps beyond.

¶ Köbel graduated in arts and law from Heidelberg University in 1491. He appears to have then studied mathematics at Cracow, and is said to have been a fellow student of Copernicus there.[1] He learnt the publishing trade as editor and proofreader for Heinrich Knoblochtzer in Heidelberg. In 1494 he married a woman from Oppenheim and settled there as secretary to the city council.
