Estimation : 500 / 500
Adjudication : Invendu
Description
folio, old limp boards, yellowed edges, kept in mod. decorative box with marbled paper and gilt titled leather spine, 230-[4] pp. (some browning and marg. waterstaining towards end, occ. paper flaws (tear in C4-D1) or marg. worming not affecting text). Good copy with large margins. 1st edition, 1st issue of the major theological work of Jacopo Sadoleto (1477-1547), papal secretary and bishop of Carpentras. In this long commentary on Romans (dedicated to Francis I), "he undertook to argue from an inherent justice which the believer activates by his "bona voluntas" in the beginnings of salvation, ostensibly without the foregoing operation of grace. It was disapproved by the Paris faculty of theology and placed under a ban in the Vatican, pending correction and revision" (Contemp. Erasmus III 184). Large woodcut mark on title, a smaller one on Ff4v. Old marg. annotations and underlinings. 19th-c. name Lelièvre on inside front cover.
