Repertorium utriusque iuris. Padua: Johann Herbort, 16. November, 1480. There are several special bibliographies about incunabula which attempt to list books printed up to 1500. We identify this incunabulum by the reference number from the bibliography by L. Hain, Repertorium bibliographicum, in quo libri omnes ab arte typographica inventa usque ad annum MD recensentur. The leaves for sale in this auction are from the book listed as number 11589 in that bibliography; it is number M844 in Goff, Incunabula in American Libraries. 17.25" x 11.5" (440 mm x 292 mm) for each leaf. On laid paper. The rubrication was done by hand. The leaves are quite clean, there is occasional staining, soiling etc, but mainly in the margins. Flaws are mentioned only if they cannot be seen on the pictures. Light waterstain on some of the outside margins. Pictured:Each leaf of the quire in sequential order and the colophon which gives the date as "Anno domini MCCCCLXXX. die. XVI Novembris." or in the year of our lord on the 16th day of November.
