De Conjugio Episcoporum et Diaconorum by Bugenhagen, 1525
-
Description
Presenting an extremely rare edition hardback copy of De Conjugio Episcoporum et Diaconorum ad uenerandum Doctorem VVolfgangum Reissenbush monasterii Lichtenbergensis Prae ceptorem per Io annem Bugenhag. Pomeranum. Noremberge apud Io Petreium. Anno M.D.XXV (1525).
Published by Johannes Bugenhagen in 1525.
This extremely rare book is in good condition for its age. Some losses to the spine and cover, but otherwise extremely good. The text is almost perfect despite some minor foxing, amazing for its age.
We are of the opinion that this book was rebound in the early to mid-19th century.
Leather edges and pebble board jacket with gilt edge and gold lettering.
As an added bonus, the book comes with a label belonging to its original owner, Major William Alexander Obenchain, a Civil War personality who served on General Robert E. Lee's Staff, and after the War became President of Ogden College in Bowling Green, KY (now the University of Western Kentucky).
As an Added Bonus, the book is signed by previous owners to Major Obenchain on the title page what appears to be "T. Ruthart 1710". We have 'no doubt' that this is an early 18th century signature.
AS an Added, Added Bonus, the book is also signed by a previous owner on the second last page with what appears to be ..." G.H. Duckham 1810".
This book was part of the extensive private collection of the Calvert Hall/Obenchain/Godwin/McMillan Collection formerly of Bowling Green, KY and later, Highland Park, Texas.
The Obenchain Family have roots in Germany in the 17th and early 18th centuries.
