Second Koberger edition (1st 1483) of this compilation of canons by the 12th-c. Bolognese laywer Gratian, which the author himself called "Concordantia discordantium canonum". This text is one of the foundation texts of canon law and as such a milestone in the development of Western law. The text is printed in Gothic type, in 2 col., with commentary surrounding the text. Headlines, chapter headings and 2-line initials printed in red. Capital spaces with blue (and some red) rubricated initials. On the last three (blank) pages an extensive and neatly written commentary. Ref. USTC 745343 - GW 11379. - Goff G386. - Polain 1685. - BMC II:437. Fine and monumental example of the high quality attained, barely 40 years after the invention of printing with moveble types, by one of the major printers of the incunable era : Anton Koberger (1440 - 1513) . He was the first printer in Nuremberg. This title is published in the same year (1493) as his Nuremberg Chronicle - considered to be the finest publication of the incunable period. The book is entirely printed in red & black; a difficult printing method whereby each leaf had to pass 4 times under the press. .
