Post incunabulum MAILLARD (Olivier) Quadragesimale opus Declamatum Parisiorum [colophon :C Finiadest structuosorum sermonuniquad rag esimalium per celeberrunum divini verbi]. Paris, Jehan Petit, 1520. In-8 : CLXXIV, 4f. (table) - 16f. (C Passio Domini nostri Jesu Christi...). Text of 46 lines on two columns with beautiful typographical marks. Some old handwritten notes in margins. Handwritten marks and wet stamp on title page. Nineteenth century tan calf, title and gilt fillets on smooth spine, cold garland framing the boards, cold roulette on the edges, gilt edges. Rare post incunabula edition. Olivier Maillard (1430- Toulouse 1502), Franciscan friar, was one of the greatest Franciscan preachers of the end of the 15th century and confessor of king Charles VIII. He owes his reputation to the brutality of his sermons where he borrows from those he blames a coarse language, peppered with words taken from bad places. Printed in gothic characters, with two columns. Typographical mark of the Parisian printer Jean Petit on the title (Brunet III - 1316)(Adams I, 698)(Hain III, 10516).
