About this Item

Rationale Divinorum Officiorum. Ar.D. Guilielmo Durando . Mimiatensi Episcopo, I.V.D. clarissimo cnocinnatum:atque nunc recens utilissimis Adnotationibus illustratum. Adictum suit praeterea aliud Divinorum officiorum Rational ab loanne Beletho Theologo Parisiensi, ab hinc fere quandringentis annis conscriptum: ac nunc demum un lucem editium:cum duplici, uno prioris, altero posterioris Rationalis Indicelocupletissimo. Lugduni. Apud Haeredes Iocabi Iuntae. 1565. Bound in full vellum, with hand lettered title on the spine, "Durandi Rational Divinorum." Measures 5" x 6.75". About 50 pages of Table of Contents & Index following title page, then pages numbered 1-264. Complete. Pages have been trimmed fairly close to the text. Bottom margin is about half an inch throughout. Right margin is slightly more than that, but occassional printed marginal notes fill that space. Top margin is trimmed to within an eighth of an inch of the text, sometimes even clipping part of the header. Pages are clean and white, beautifully printed & without foxing or staining. Decorated printed initials are used throughout - most are about a quarter of an inch square - some plain & some with vignettes within. The author, whose name appears as "Guilielmo Durando", "Guillelmus Durandus", "GUILLELMUS DURANTI" and other variants, was born near Beziers in Southern France. He studied law in Bologna. Pope Clement V appointed him as auditor generalis of the Rota Romana. He attended the Second Council of Lyon in 1274. In 1286 he became bishop of Mende, after fulfilling several other high functions. He was the author of an encyclopedic work on legal procedure. The earliest printed versions of his work seem to be from about 1477 -- this copy of course is from 1565. On the title page there is a name crossed out -- quite an old handwriting & equally old cross-out; illegible now. Text in Latin.
