AuthorThomas à Kempis
TitleHortulus rosarum
Imprint[Paris : Etienne Jehannot], for Claude Jaumar, [about 1496]
Format8°
NotesThere appear to be at least three separable editions by Jehannot (sometimes attributed to Le Dru) for Jaumar. In the explicit, f.24, they are distinguished as follows: lachri//marum: Finit feliciter. (Pell 11092e-f); lacri//marum: Finit feliciter. (Pell 11086, 11091, 11092b-d, 11092g); lachrima-//rum. Finit feliciter. (Pell 11086b). Each has the same series of eight woodcuts (plus one repeated), seven of which are found in Jehannot's Roman Hours of 21 Aug. 1497 (CIBN). The Rosenwald copy apparently also varies in the crucifixion cut on the title. Dated after the types and the state of the woodcuts (CIBN)
