About this Item

Frankfurt am Main, Christian Egenolff, [1538?]. 4to. 43 lvs. Modern wrappers. VD 16 S 1746; Adams S 417. Rare first and only Latin edition of Sarcerius' 'Loci communes'. Loci communes -or commonplaces- are in the most basic sense additional explanations of a (biblical) text. Among theologians, however, it soon became shorthand for a doctrinal compendium. The first and best-known example of this kind was the 'Loci communes' of Melanchthon, first published in 1521, soon followed by 'Loci communes' of other theologians. One of these theologians was the Lutheran reformer Sarcerius, a prolific author, known for his pastoral works, biblical commentaries, and catechism. His 'Loci communes' was translated into English by Richard Taverner (c. 1505-1575), who preferred Sarcerius' 'Loci communes' to Melanchthon's because of its popular appeal. - Single wormhole in margin.
