EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST INCUNABLE EDITION OF ONE OF SAVONAROLA'S FIRST PRINTED TREATISES. Goff. Incunabula. S 265. Hain 14405. Proctor 6160. BMC VI 641. Referring to the prayer addressed by Jesus to his Father on the Mount of Olives, the day before the Passion, Savonarola urges the masses to return to the precepts of the Gospel. He doesn't hesitate to attack the powerful Medici, by preaching against luxury and depravity of the Church and the powerful. Savonarola was judged and sentenced to be burnt at the stake in 1498. Printed in beautiful roman letters, the treatise is decorated with a very beautiful woodcut on the title-page picturing Jesus praying God the Father. In his bibliography dedicated to the "Italian book illustrations", A.W. Polland conducts a study on the 3 versions of this famous incunable representation of Jesus‟ prayer on the Mount of Olives: "Of the Agony in the garden, three different woodcuts have come down to us, all of them of great beauty". This version, where, "of the angel carrying the cup, only the hands appear", is published in the first state on October, 20th, 1492 in this first edition of the Oration treatise. A PRECIOUS COPY OF THIS RARE INCUNABLE SERMON BY "AN UNEQUALLED ORATOR", ILLUSTRATED WITH A LARGE WOODCUT "OF GREAT BEAUTY". No other copy has been recorded on the international public market since the beginning of the records 40 years ago. Only 4 copies are listed
