Husner signed only a few books during his career, and the printing of the Ruralia commoda was in the past assigned to an eponymous press known as the 'Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg', so named from its edition of the Postillae de tempore by Jordanus, which appeared in Strassburg in 1483 (see BMC I, pp. 130-131). Ernst Voulliéme was the first to argue in 1915 that Husner was indeed the owner of this press (see Zentralblatt für Bibliothekswesen, 1915, pp. 309-321), and this identification is now generally accepted.Provenance: verso of final blank with letters in red 'H.I.S.V.G.', written in an early hand; 'Liber Georgij Posch Sanctj Egidij Vratislaviens. ...
