Haymo von Halberstadt, Homiliarum, nunc tertio diligentissime excusarum pars hyemalis. Additi sunt sermones ... in epistolas canonicas ... With 35 woodcuts in the text by Anton Woensam (?). Cologne, Eucharius Cervicornus 1534. 17th century vellum. 8vo. 8 ll., 734 pp.
VD 16, H 215. - Adams H 90. - Not in BM STC. - Winter part of the recognised homiletic works. Initially ascribed to Johannes Trithemius the Haymo, bishop of Halberstadt (died 853), later research has found proof for the authorship of Haymo of Auxerre and other early medieval authors. - The woodcuts are most likely by Anton Woensam, who also worked for Cervicornus at the same time. - Somewhat waterstained in places, slightly wormed towards the end, endpapers with old entries. All in all fine copy.
