Rare first edition
. Gathers two religious school plays for perfomance at the Dortmund
gymnasium by Schoepper (c. 1514-1554), poet and teacher who studied at Leuven and
worked in the German city since 1543. The "Ovis Perdita" is based on Jacobus Zovitius'
same title parable. An edition was published at Basle by Oporinus, dated by Adams from c.
1553, but with a single series of signatures and page numbers. It was probably printed after
the present edition. Device of Latius on both title-pages.
