A-B6 aA-nN8 oO-tT8 / 6 uU6 Aa-Ll8 a-p8 q6]. Tan basane on wood, original cold-stamped calf partly preserved and applied to the boards, two remnants of brass fastenings on the edge of the second board, spine ribbed and decorated with cold fillets (modern binding). Second volume of the works of St. John Chrysostom, published by Thomas Januensis of Valerano in the translation of George of Trebizond (1396-1472/3) and Pietro Barozzi. This second volume contains the Homilies. It is printed in gothic letters in two columns of 64 lines by the printer Jacob Wolff for the bookseller Wolfgang Lachner. The copy is rubricated in red and blue, with several indications of provenance. On the top of the title one reads the crossed-out inscription "Pro Cartusiae Parisiensis", referring to the Charterhouse of Paris. This was probably the convent that stood on the site of the present Luxembourg Gardens, which was destroyed during the Revolution between 1796 and 1800. To the right of this inscription is the signature Dayet (?), and below it the signature "D. M. Rinssant" followed by the indication "de Nyort 1594". Below the summary accompanying the title is the signature "Carolus Labande". All these indications and signatures are from the 16th century. At the bottom of the title is another handwritten note, apparently from the seventeenth century: "For the Capuchins of Saint Maixant". On the back of the title are the engraved arms of Cardinal Spinola. There were 9 cardinals Spinola; these arms, engraved in the 17th or 18th century, could be those of Giovanni Battista Spinola (1681-1752). Finally, on the top of the first lining is the bookplate of the writer, poet, journalist, playwright and bibliophile Jules-Ladimir François (1812-1892). The first white endpaper contains handwritten notes of the 19th century, with bibliographic characters. The information given is wrong. The last blank page is covered on both sides with a Latin manuscript from the 16th century, which are exegetical comments. A copy whose binding has been completely rebound. The restorer has preserved vestiges of the original binding on the boards. Spine faded, some spotting and rubbing from use. Trace of a label detached on the title. Some worm work affecting the text. Provenance: Chartreuse de Paris, with manuscript bookplate. - Dayet ?, with his signature. - D. M. Rinssant, of Niort, with his signature. - Carolus Labande, with his signature. - Capucines de Saint Maixent, with manuscript bookplate. - Cardinal Spinola, with his engraved arms. - Jules Ladimir François, with ex-libris.
