MEDIAVILLA [or MIDDLETON] (Richard de). The Most Holy Theologian Richard de Mediavilla of the Seraphic Order of Friars Minor Conventual on the most subtle questions concerning the First Sentences. Venetiis [Venice], by Lazarus Soardus [Lazzaro Soardi], 1 June 1507. Folio, half-ivory cloth with small corners, beige paper covers, plain spine with paper title label (19th-century binding); (4) preliminary leaves, 151 leaves [i.e. 152: 2 ff. folio-numbered ‘5’], (1) blank f. Light marginal water-stains, mainly in the lower right-hand corner (without affecting the text), more pronounced on the title page. POST-INCUNABULUM VENETIAN EDITION, published under the supervision of Francesco Benzoni, of the commentary on the first book of Peter Lombard’s ‘SENTENCES’. This volume constitutes the first part of the edition of the four books published by Soardi in 1507–1509. Printed in Gothic type in two columns, tables in three columns, numerous ornate wood-engraved initials and the printer’s mark in the colophon. A handwritten ex-libris reading ‘Domus Societatis Jesu Venetijs’ at the top of the title page, attesting to its provenance from the Society of Jesus in Venice; another old inscription on the title page reads ‘A Coll. Martiano commod. Coll. Bononiensi ’ [A Collegio Martiano commodatum Collegio Bononiensi], meaning ‘Loaned by the Martiano College to the College of Bologna.’ A blue, crossed stamp from the house of studies of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, French Province: ‘Cong. SS. Redempt. / Domus Studiorum / Prov. Gallica’. A PLEASANT COPY, preserved with good margins in a simple working binding made during the second half of the 19th century. ¶ USTC, 842391.
