NICOLAUS DE AUSMO. Supplementum Summae Pisanellae et Canones poenitentiales fratris Astensis et Consilia Alexandri de Nevo contra Judaeos foenerantes . Milan: Leonardus Pachel and Uldericus Scinzenzeler, 22, 30 April 1479. Royal 4° (274 x 196mm). Collation: a 1 0 b-c 8 d-z 1 0 aa-ii 1 0 kk 12 ll 1 0 mm 8 (a1 blank, a2r Supplementum , ii1r Alexander de Nevo text, kk12r first colophon, kk12v blank, ll1r tabula, mm4r Canones poenitentiales , mm7r second colophon, mm7v-8 blank). 350 leaves. 50 lines, double column. Type: 4:145G, 2:79G. First 12-line initial in blue with red Maiblumen penwork, 2-3-line initials and paragraph marks alternating in red and blue. (Small wormholes affecting some letters.) Contemporary Italian, possibly Roman, brown goatskin over wooden boards, elaborately blindstamped with ropework Xs and swastikas and with SMALL PUNCHED ROUNDELS COLOURED IN BLUE AND YELLOW GESSO, the decoration forming concentric rectangles around a central rhomb within tripartite rectangle, brass cornerpieces, 4 brass catches on lower cover (lacking leather catches, rubbed, slight loss of leather on lower cover, spine worn), in cloth box. Provenance : Ast, Carthusians (contemporary and later inscriptions). The contemporary Italian binding illustrates the modo florentino , a style derived from Islamic sources. While its ropework tools and framing pattern came to typify Italian bindings of the second half of the 15th-century, examples featuring punch-gilt work -- or, as here, punched roundels coloured with yellow and blue gesso -- , another stylistic element introduced from Islam, are less common. None of the tools here employed appear on any published bindings, but the lay-out and coloured roundels are found on Roman bindings, especially on papal bindings (De Marinis, nos. 302, 338, 342, 344, 400). HC 2159; BMC VI, 746 (IB. 26428); Goff N-69; IGI 6876; CIBN N-39.
