Luther (Martin) Operationes in duas psalmorum decades. Iam secundo recognitæ, collation: a-c6 A-Z6 Aa Bb6 Cc8 Dd-Nn6 Oo8, title within woodcut foliage and mythical creature border, woodcut historiated initials, woodcut printer's device at end, occasional early ink marginalia (including manicules), all from X6 with lower corners and later lower outer margin repaired, affecting some signature marks and catchwords and occasionally a little text, mostly marginal small wormholes, occasional staining, washed, antique style blind-stamped panelled calf, gilt spine in compartments, folio (296 x 188mm.), [Basel], [Adam Petri], 1521.*** Considerably expanded second Basel edition of these commentaries on the Psalms, which is rare at auction. It adds seven more commentaries to the first Basel edition, which in itself was a great improvement on the sloppily executed first Wittenberg edition, which vexed Luther.Literature: Benzing 518; VD 16 L 5540.
