Levinson, 2 February 1957. THE HAND COLORED WOODCUT EX LIBRIS OF HILPRAND BRANDENBURG IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST PRINTED BOOKPLATES. Hilprand Brandenburg (1442-1514), the son of a patrician family of Biberach in Swabia, studied in Pavia and Basel. After his ordination in 1473 he held a number of ecclesiastical preferments in southern Germany, and in 1506 he became a priest-donate of the Carthusian monastery at Buxheim. From his student years he had acquired books for himself and for donation to churches. His first recorded gift to Buxheim was made in 1479; by the end of his life he had given the monastery a total of 450 books, both manuscript and printed. In these the donation was recorded in an inscription naming the monastery, the donor, and the text, and also by the presence of a hand-colored woodcut bookplate showing Hilprand's coat-of-arms supported by an angel. From the early 1470s Hilprand had marked his books with his arms, in illuminated borders or as a small supralibros. The bookplate is assumed to date from the same period or perhaps from ca. 1480. FIRST EDITION of Molitoris's tabula to the Summa theologica and the first book printed by Quentell at his second press. Goff A-880; GW 2199; Hain 1262; Not in BSB-Ink. or BMC.
