[SAINT AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO] (attrib). Sermones sancti Augustini ad heremitas Venice: Simon Bevilaqua. 1495.
Small 8vo. Contemporary vellum, recently recased with new endpapers; title page, 111 leaves; later manuscript notes in pencil to blanks, library stamps to first and last leaves, very good.
First edition by the important Italian printer Simon Bevilaqua (active 1485 - 1518). Very scarce in such good condition. These sermons were erroneously attributed to St Augustine and were probably the work of a 12th century Belgian ecclesiastic (Germain Morin, Revue Benedictine 1896, pp. 346-7).
