A SINGLE LEAF from the following title: Commentaria in Ecclesiasticum - Indicibus Necessariis Illustrata - by R.P. Cornelii Cornelii a Lapide e Societate Iesu (Society of Jesus) S. Scripturae Olim Lovanii, Postea Romae Professoris. Printed in Antwerp by Henricum & Cornelium Verdussen in 1701 (Anno MDCCI). Cum Gratia & Privilegio. This being PAGE 111/112. Contains 68 lines of Latin text printed in double columns. With printed margin notes. Single page, printed on both sides, recto & verso. Laid paper. Large FOLIO size leaf. In VERY GOOD condition with mild toning. The printers of this title, Verdussen, were a dynasty of printers in Antwerp, starting with Hieronymus Verdussen in the late 16th century, & ending around 1800. Many other printers in Antwerp were also related to the Verdussens through marriage. They specialized in religious works & works in Spanish, but also published newspapers, almanacs, poetry, & scientific works. By the end of the 17th century, they produced about 21% of the Spanish books printed in the Netherlands, & with five presses were second only to Moretus in Antwerp. Cousins of Jan Baptist Verdussen II, Hendrik was the second son of Hieronymus III, born in 1653, & died in 1721. Cornelis was born in 1661, & died in 1728. They printed many reprints of earlier Verdussen publications as well. The author of this title, Cornelius Cornelii a Lapide (né Cornelis Cornelissen van den Steen; 1567-1637) was a Flemish Jesuit & exegete. Cornelius a Lapide wrote ample commentaries on all the books of the Catholic Canon of Scripture, with the exception only of the Book of Job & the Psalms. This magnificent large folio-size example of early letterpress printing is from a substantial collection of material which was only recently unearthed in Budapest. These pages sat dormant for over 300 years, concealed in a Hungarian cellar. They survived multiple wars & decades of communist rule, in which countless books were destroyed. Leaves from this book were exhibited at the 39th ANZAAB Australian International Rare Book Fair, which was held at Melbourne University, July 2012, in association with The University of Melbourne Cultural Treasures Festival. This original letterpress printed page comes with printed sheet with full details. A digital image of the title page of the original antiquarian book which this particular page came from will also be provided with purchase. A truly wonderful folio-size example of early letterpress printing. Ideal for framing. RARE & desirable.
