Basel, Michael Furter, 1512. 4to. Modern boards. Title printed in red and black, large woodcut printer's device at the end, and some fine woodcut initials in text. (87, 1 blank) lvs.

Rare edition of a popular exposition on the liturgy of Catholic Mass, by Johannes Bechoffen, mentioned in the colophon, and described as being a Augustinian Hermit. The Mass here is explained in four ways, litterary, allegorical, moral, and spiritual. Michael Furter had first printed the work in 1505, and again in 1509, so  the present is the third edition, a fourth appeared in 1519. The book is finely printed in a small "lettre bâtarde" with 45 lines to a page, often with lines in a very large  type inbetween. The book still presents very much the lay-out of an incunable.

Fine copy, complete with last blank.- (Title, and second leaf sl. worn, with small restorations to blank top).
Cf. Adams B 437 (ed. of 1505); not in STC; Heckethorn, The printers of Basle in the XV and XVI centuries, pp. 75-85.
