(1 copy); not in Adams; BMC STC French; for the type: Vervliet, "Young Garamont", Typography Papers 7 (2007), pp. 5-60, type 34.A sixteenth-century edition of a ninth-century commentary on the Book of Revelation by Haymo, bishop of Halberstat († 853). There was also a simultaneous issue of the same edition by Jacob Kerver. Haymo of Halberstadt was educated by Alcuin at the Benedictine monastery at Tours. He produced numerous commentaries on both the Old and the New Testament that long remained popular and several were put into print during the sixteenth century. In the 1530s French printers and publishers introduced new roman types by Garamont and others that set the style for the next two and a half centuries. The main text here is set in a Petit Romain roman (65 mm/20 lines) still in the earlier "Venetian" style, but the preface is set in Claude Garamont's first Cicero roman (81 mm/20 lines), his first documented type first used in 1536 and appearing in a Girault publication in 1539.With the bookplate of the Episcopal library at Reims and a 1649 bookplate of M. Guillelmus Parent, also at Reims. A very good copy. Rare sixteenth-century edition of a ninth-century work.
