QUAESTIONES ET EPISTOLA AD COLONIENSEM
Lambertus Auenionensis, apud sanctam Hessorum synodum Hombergi congregatam, pro ecclesiarum reformatione, dei verbo disputanda et deservienda proposuit. Eiusdem epistola ad Colonienses de ipsa venerabili synodo: adversum Nicolaum Herborn Minoritam assertorem et consarcinatorem mendaciorum
By Francis Lambert
Author Bio: Francis Lambert of Avignon (c.1487–1530)
Synopsis: A seminal Reformation-tract: Lambert presents his proposals for the church reform adopted at the Synod of Homberg (Hesse) in 1526, followed by a polemical letter to the citizens of Cologne defending the Homberg programme against the Franciscan Nicolaus Herborn. This is one of the earliest full Protestant church-orders and a foundational text in the Hessian reform-movement.
Binding & provenance: Bound in attractive stiff vellum boards formed from a reused 15th-/early-16th-century manuscript antiphonal leaf on vellum (music-manuscript waste) with red four-line staves and black square-notation, displaying the Easter Preface (“Te quidem, Domine…cum Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus…”), and the Preface dialogue (Sursum corda…Habemus ad Dominum…Gratias agamus…Dignum et iustum est). Central Europe, c.1480–1520. The leaf remains legible and visually decorative, the binding solid and appealing.
Binding: Vellum, sextodecimo or sixteenmo (16mo 4 × 6 3⁄4 in 102 × 171 mm )
Note: Binding/size selection follows standard bibliographic conventions and is approximate; exact measurements may vary.
Collation: A–O⁴ P² = [60] ff. (120 pp. if paginated by pages). Signatures and pagination vary among copies; pp. 1–88 = Quaestiones; pp. 89–109 = Epistola; final leaves comprise index and errata. -
Language: Latin
Published By: Erphordiae [Erfurt]: per Johannem Loersfelt (Loersfeld), Germany
Condition Report:
Dust Jacket: No Jacket, Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket
Very Good - Small 8vo (~195 × 145 mm). Gothic type. Title within fine architectural woodcut border; decorative initials; a few headlines in larger type.
Light overall age-toning and faint marginal staining; short marginal tear to one leaf (no text loss); margins trimmed fairly close but wood-cut border intact; internal text crisp; binding sound; manuscript fragment clean and well-displayed.
Bound in stiff vellum made from a 15th-/early 16th-century manuscript antiphonal leaf, written in black square notation on red four-line staves. The fragment contains the Easter Preface of the Mass (“Te quidem, Domine… cum Pascha nostrum immolatus est Christus…”) and the Preface dialogue (Sursum corda – Habemus ad Dominum – Dignum et iustum est), Central Europe, c. 1480–1520. A vivid example of manuscript-waste binding, symbolically wrapping a Reformation text in the very liturgy it displaced.
