Fourth edition of this book of Lenten sermons by the Servite theologian and preacher Ambrosius de Spiera (ca. 1413-1454/55). First pubished in 1476 by Vindelinus de Spira in Venice, this popular collection would go through seven editions by 1516.
"The Quadragesimale, as the names suggests (Quadragesima, the forty days of Lent) is a group of sermons delivered during the season of Lent. By Ambrosius' time the name Quadragesimale had become common for sermons preached in Lent. G.R. Owst indicates that the "work of the Mendicants undoubtedly take first place where Lenten oratory is concerned. Its greatest monuments are their immense 'Quadragesimalia' which elaborately divided discourses for each of the forty days." – Ronald M. Rentner, Ambrosius Spiera: A Fifteenth-Century Italian Preacher and Scholar, in "Church History" vol. 43, no. 4 (Dec. 1974) pp. 448-459.
A very handsome copy of this beautifully rubricated incunable preserved in original finely decorated binding.
