Description: Paris [apud Petrum Gaudoul], 1531. 8vo, 164 x 103 mms., foliation irregular, but no missing leaves, [28], 394 [i.e. 392] leaves, or, ff. 1-290, 293-394, a few contemporary marginal comments, portion of contemporary sheepskin binding remaining part of boards, but with later 18th century rebacked, spine ornately gilt in compartments, morocco label; lower portion (38 mms.) of imprint cut from title-page (date retained, but publisher missing) with consequent loss of text on verso, early library stamp with holy monogram, IHS, on title-page as well as Petit's printer's device, ink name obscured on title-page, wormed throughout, fairly severely in first few leaves, but almost entirely in the margins, occasional staining, front hinge cracked, top of spine chipped, corners very worn; a well-used copy. Dionysius the Carthusian (1402/03 - 1471), the Flemish or Rhenish theologian, was as industrious as he was pious, and this early commentary on the life of St. Paul is like many of his works a compilation. The work was edited by Petrus Blomevenna (1436 - 1536). Referenced by: Adams, D592.
