Manuscript leaf - 14th C. German Roman Missal - Monday in Easter Week. Gothic - the extensive flourishes + excessive suifs betray its lateness (14th C) There is hardly a word that does

The Roman Missal - A. Cabrol - 1934 - 264.02 C364 mc not show flourishes at which the script of the more vigorous 13th C was free The missal contains all the recited + chanted texts fo the Mass. Since it is an organic combination of the sacramentary + the gradual, it may contain the music of the chanted parts or only their texts. Hence the difference between noted missale + plain ones. In the later Middle Ages the necessary instructions (rubries) were inserted. In such cases the Missal is called rubricated

Strassburg Mentelin - 1473

A. Hind The 1st book illustrations, cut on wood, in Italy, appeared in the edition of Turrecremata's Meditationes, printed at Rome by Holrich Han in 1467. Cardinal Turrecremata, the Abbot of the Benedictine Monastery of St. Scholastica of Subiaco, was no doubt partly responsible for the introduction of printing in Italy for it was in his convent that Sweynheyn + Pannertz set up their first press. (1464.)

Turrecremata was born + educated at Vallsdolid, joined the Dominican Order + distinguished himeslf. He took his Doctor's defree at Paris in 1432 + after teaching there for some time became prior of the Dominican house in Valladolid + later in Toledo. At the Council of Basel he was one of the ablest supporters of the Roman auia + was new aarded with a cardinal's hat in 1439. In 1455 Pope Callistus III made him abbot of Subiaco outside Rome.

Although the anti-Turkish cursade was the 1st religious movement to make use of print, Protestantism surely was the 1st fully to exploit its potential as a mass medium.

Strassburg: R Press type I (? J. Mentelin and/or Adolf Rusch).

No date earlier than 1473 is known for any (Goff) edition from this press. The R-Press's Latin Bible + other Royal folios contain several paper stocks which cannot be taken back earlier than about 1473. Thus, R-Press tyep 1 is not the first roman, nor even the first roman in Germany (being preceded by Gunther Zainer's 3:107 R, which existed by the end of 1471; and by the Lauingen printer's type, 1472 (Goff A-1224) The identification of the R Printer as A. Rusch is based on a letter from the city council of Mentelin + his son in law Rusch as printers of a Vincent of Beauvais Speculum Doctrinale (Goff V 278). But that letter a) applies to R-Press type 2, used 1475-78, but not necessarily to type 1, used 1473-75; b) does not establish Rusch as a printer independent of Mentelin.
