Notes:
Title and imprint from Goff and ISTC.Colophon: Impresso in Venetia per Christoforo de Pensa. M.cccc. LXXXXVII. adi xi Zenaro.Text in Lilly Library copy begins: IN NOME Del padre & del figliuolo & dello spirito sancto. BM 15th cent. also has: IN NOME. GW and Sander have: IN NOMINE."The title-cut [of the crucifixion] is also found in Bonaventura, Deuote meditazioni, De Bonellis, 14 December 1497 (IA.23831). It looks rather more worn in the present book, which is therefore perhaps dated 'more veneto"--BM 15th cent. Essling and Sander also suggest that the woodcut is a later use of that in the Bonaventure work; therefore, according to BM 15th cent., the date of this item may be by Easter year change and if so should be 149839 lines.
