Flögel III, 209 - Gengenbach's best satire in rhyme against Murner, who wants to invoke the Reformation, but is devoured by its spirit. "In his short essay on the woodcuts by the Basel painter Conrad Schnitt... [Koegler] concludes by pointing out that some Basel woodcuts from around 1521 to 1524 should be examined for their connection with Schnitt's work... among them Gengenbach's Mönchskalb and the Novella and other related, unnamed illustrations by Gengenbach and Lamparter. In his later article on Hans Herbst (Thieme/B. XVI, 450), Koegler lists Gengenbach's Gestryfft Schwitzer Baur, the Novella and the Hercules Germanicus in the first of the two groups of woodcuts he tries to assign to Herbst, without referring to his earlier opinion. The woodcuts of the Novella, however, now originate from at least two, probably three, partly quite different hands ..."

Bll. Hogshead boards over wooden boards from the workshop of the Cölestine monastery on the Oybin with rich stamping; browned and partly rubbed, cover defects restored, spine partly renewed using old material. Clasps and other fittings removed, mirror renewed. I. Hain-C. 7991; GW 11439; BMC II, 322; Goff G-415 - First edition and at the same time the only incunabula edition of this important collection of letters. An important source for the history of his time, provides information about Gregory's character and his administration. "Some of Gregory's letters are of a purely official character; most of them, however, are of a personal nature, written in a clear style of simple beauty. Their importance lies firstly in their status as authentic historical documents, which show the pope to be a prudent chief pastor of the Church and a successful politician in the disputes over the shaping of early medieval Europe. On the other hand, they have attained an eminent literary-historical significance, because the Gregorian Registrum became the model for all later papal registers and thus, as a kind of 'form book', advanced to become the undisputed stylistic model of future times" (KLL). - Fine impression with wide margins. Partly slightly stained, several leaves with bluish discolored waterstain in the lower right corner, occasionally also in the right and upper margin. First leaves with minor losses in upper margin and minor wormholes.

Among the figurative woodcuts in the text is a view of Trier as well as the well-known landscape view of Cologne with the cathedral under construction. The present edition shows the third view of the city, a newly created woodcut which, with its elongated panorama, clearly differs from that of the first edition and its re-cut in the 1476 edition. - Slightly stained, first white leaf and last leaf verso somewhat soiled, last leaf with two small wormholes. Plates b4 and d5 with further woodcuts missing. - Regarding the binding: EBDB w000159; Kyriß 26 and plate 60. The embossing of the binding bears the typical characteristics of the 1st workshop of the Oybin monastery (1463-1491), the monastic coat of arms "S" with a cross, which fills three framing rows of stamps next to the eagle, crown and Bohemian lion as well as the lily, foliage in lozenge and the scroll "maria", while a dense mosaic of rhombic lily stamps fills the center field. Front flyleaf present, with marginal tears and two entries on the work. Two very rare works by Gregory the Great and Rolewinck in one volume. In Gregoy leaves 22 and 84 are lacking and in Rolewinck lacking leaves b4 and d5.
