Title verso rubber stamped by the Dutch library in Ginneken. Nicolas de Hanapes, a 13th century Dominican prelate, author, and historian and Patriarch of Jerusalem, composed this moral treatise, his main work, sometime in the 1280s. Known by several other titles into the 16th century, namely first as the Liber de exemplis sacraescripturae, it comprised thousands of exempla into short chapters dealing with ethics in biblical narrative and, among other ideas, the pull of the vices and virtues. Nicolas de Hanapes's index of virtues and vices index allowed preachers to find the biblical story toillustrate their sermons with ease. According to the Bibliographie des éditions parisiennes du 16e siècle, there are at least five editions that precede this one: two in 1538, 1540, 1547, and 1548. And according to French Books (p. 1236), there are four separate editions from different Parisian presses in 1560; by Gabriel Buon, Claude Frémy, Nicolas Chesneau, and this pocket edition by Maurice Ménier. Despite heavy interest in reprinting this work, copies are still of utmost rarity and this title is seemingly understudied. Additionally, little is known to history about the 16th century Dominican cleric and editor Massimo Trocheo, or in Latin: Maximus Trochaeus, from Treviso.
