Buchbeschreibung: Johann Mentelin, Strasbourg, 1472. No Binding. Buchzustand: Good. A single Incunabula Leaf from a fifteenth century printed book.[Probably] Nicolaus de Lyra. Postilla Super Biblia. Printed in Strasbourg in 1472 by Johann Mentelin. The leaf measures twenty-eight by thirty-nine centimetres (approximately). It is printed in Latin, on both sides in two columns, with a simple headline in red. The leaf is a little creased but it remains in Good antiquarian condition. Whilst we can't definitively confirm at this time that this was printed by Mentelin, the leaf is from a collection of early printed and manuscript leaves put together by someone who seemed to have spent some time in researching them. This is one of only two leaves in the collection where the identity of the printer, and the original book's details are not definitively shown. The word Mentelin appears in pencil at the top corner of one of the pages, and I have seen another leaf from the same book and they appear to be the same, so we are confident that it is a Mentelin leaf. Of course, if anyone has differing information on this leaf I will be more than happy to update the listing. Leaves from the early 1470s are scarce, this one was printed just seventeen years after the very first book was printed using movable type. Buchnummer des Verkäufers 018848
