(Religion) - Saint BRUNO.- Opera & vita post indicem serie literaria indicanda.[Paris], venunda[n]tur Jodoco Badio Ascensio, (sub pascha 1524 in typographia Ascensiana).In-f° : [8 title-page incl.]-dxx lvs (clear dampstain in the upper margin of the 1st two quires, library stamp and handwritten notes in the lower margin of title-page).17th Century binding : full calf, boards with blind tooled fillets, roll-stamp and acorns in the angles, gilt decorated ribbed spine with an acorn in the center of each rectangular design, red edges, blind roll-stamp on the turn ins (boards scratched, joints and turn ins partly repaired, edges dulled).First edition of the works attributed to Saint Bruno of Cologne (c. 1030-1101), founder of the Carthusian Order, followed by his hagiography by François Du Puy (1450-1521) and a poem by Benedetto Z. Ferreri. Illustrated with a red and black title and Badius Ascensius` large mark figuring a printing office within a woodcut ornamental border. Nice historiated initials and 6 neat woodcuts in the text depicting decisive moments of Bruno`s life like his journey to the Chartreuse Mountains. Those xylographies are partly based on the cycle of Urs Graf in the Basle edition of Bruno`s life. The fact that Badius rarely illustrated his works, contributes largely to the importance of this very fine postincunable edition.
