About This Item
Kiøbenhaffn (Copenhague), Lorentz Benedict, 1564
4º. Three parts in one volume: 171, 155, 114 ff. Later full calf. Title page and front page as well as the last page in beautiful light print facsimile (3 leaves in total). The last 10 leaves edge repaired. Light traces of use. 3 wood-carved title leaves, densely pruned at the top. Numerous larger woodcut illustrations along the text.
First Danish edition of Luther's Postil and of the greatest rarity in complete condition. Only quite a few preserved in private hands. Most copies in public libraries are incomplete (Lauritz Nielsen lists only 7 complete copies). One of the most significant books of Benedict's printing press, and the largest in scope.
From 1531 to 1535 Luther delivered many of these sermons, what are known as his Hauspostille (house postils). The word "postil" comes from the Latin post illa verba textus, which means "after these words of the text."
Extremely scarce first Dansih edition of Luther's "Hauspostille" with only af few copies still on private hands
