Incunabulum - MANCINI (Domenico). Dominici Mancini de passione domini nostri Jesu Christi liber incipit. [Paris], [Atelier de Georges Mittelhus], [1488]. In-8 of [16] ff. signed. A-B8. Half blond calf, spine ribbed with gold and cold fillets, black mar. title page, gilt fillet on covers (late 19th c. binding). Light foxing. Qqs underlining and marginalia. A native of Mittelhausen in Alsace (of the noble von Mittelhausen family), Georges Mittelhus set up his own printing house in Paris in 1470. At the start of his Parisian activities, Georges Mittelhus used typefaces reminiscent of the Strasbourg influence, particularly that of Johann Grüninger. But gradually, as he added to his range of typefaces, he took his cue from Parisian printers and, from 1492 onwards, definitively adopted new letterforms that better suited his customers' tastes. From his presses, which operated in this way until 1503, some fifty works were printed, most of them theological and for moral edification, with limited distribution. Ex-libris JM.
