A pupil of Johann Heynlin at the Sorbonne, where he obtained his degree as Master of Arts, Amerbach made the press the vehicle of the Christian humanism of his teacher. A scholar and aesthete himself, he saw to it that his editions were not only printed with fastidious taste but also edited with care and accuracy." (p. 48, Steinberg. "Five Hundred Years of Printing")Amerbach's first Bible to include the marginal concordance system in the New Testament, which enabled easier reference to biblical passages; it had first appeared in printed form in Basel printer Bernhard Richel's Bible of 1477. Only five copies of Amerbach's first Bible appear in the auction record. Rare.PROVENANCE:Rev. Dr. Jeremiah ZimmermanUnited Lutheran Seminary

Among others, he is remembered for printing the first German translation of Boccaccio's "De claris mulieribus" in 1473. Only 1.4% of ISTC recorded editions were printed in Ulm. The "Compendium theologicae" has a long history of being misattributed to an array of authors such as Albert Magnus, Thomas Aquinas, Thomas Dorinberg, and Bonaventure, among others, but is now more certainly considered to be by Hugo Ripelin (1205-70), a Dominican theologian from Strasbourg. Apart from the works of Thomas Aquinas, the "Compendium" was the most widely read work of Dominican theology, being used as a textbook for close to 400 years.PROVENANCE:United Lutheran Seminary
