Ephrem the Syrian, Saint (c. 306-373 CE) Sermones Beati Ephrem per Fratrem Ambrosium de Greco in Latinum Conversi.
Venice: Impressum per Christoforum de Pensiis, 1501.
Quarto, translated from Greek to Latin by Ambrose Traversari (1386-1439); text printed in roman type, single column, bound in limp parchment, contents very good; with a rare example of a piece of type that was lifted out of its position while the forme was being inked and then left atop the bed of type while an impression was pulled by the printer, leaving an impression of the side of the piece of type visible on leaf d1; some very neat repairs to old marginal worm holes, 8 x 5 3/4 in.
