(Oswaldus de Lasko): Sermones de sanctis perutiles a quoda(m) fratre hu(n)garo ordi(ni)s mi(n)oru(m) de observa(n)tia co(m)portati Biga salutis intitulati feliciter incipiu(n)t
Hagenaw, 1499. Henricus Gran, impensis Joha(n)nis Ryman. (748)p. First four leaves (title page+Tabula) replaced by copies.
Second edition. It was first published two years earlier in the same place.
Osvát Laskai, a Franciscan monk, became the head of the Hungarian order in 1497, and in Germany, he got in touch with the first publisher in the modern sense: Johann Rynmann from Hagenau. All but one of his works were published by him. Laskai likely drew the publisher's attention to the works of his master, Pelbárt Temesvári. Thanks to Rynmann, both became the most published Hungarian authors abroad for a long time. Although Laskai is a more exciting writer than Temesvári, he did not become as popular as his counterpart. While Temesvári's works were used more by ordinary priests and monks, Laskai's writings were addressed to more theologically educated readers. As Temesvári's student and the completer of his Rosarium, his person has been mixed up with his senior in the literature for centuries. The collection of sermons entitled "Biga salutis" (Chariot of Salvation) is divided into three parts according to the church holidays. "Sermones de sanctis" contains sermons for the feast days of the saints ("Sermones dominicales" includes sermons for Sundays and "Quadragesimale" for the period of Lent).
Restored in contemporary leather binding, the back board and the spine preserve the fragments of the bound leather, divided into geometric fields with lines and decorated with the imprint of floral-patterned individual stamps, which can be used to recall the original image of the book. Clasps replaced.
