[Reutlingen: Michel Greyff, not after 1478]. Folio.
BMC I 63 and A. Schmidt, ‘Technische Beiträge zur Inkunabelkunde', Gb Jb (1927), 9-23, at 17 assign to [Strasbourg?: R‑Printer (Johann Mentelin/Adolf Rusch)]. V. Scholderer, ‘Adolf Rusch and the Earliest Roman Types', The Library, 4th ser. 20 (1939), 43-50, at 47 suggests [Esslingen?: n. pr.]. The blind impression of seven lines from A1v of this edition is found in the BL copy of the Bull of Sixtus IV relating to Esslingen, 17 June 1478, assigned to the press of Greyff at Reutlingen. In consequence, the present edition of Pius II, Epistolae familiares, which is printed in the same type as the Bull, i.e. 103 R, previously used by Rusch at Strasburg, has been transferred from that press to Greyff's; see BMC II 575, note to IB.10630; also Scholderer, ‘Adolf Rusch', 47. The watermark of two crossed keys, the only one found in the book, is recorded by Briquet 3888 only here and in Augsburg-printed incunabula and an illuminated manuscript. It occurs also in Schwarz, Contra perfidos Judaeos (Esslingen, 1475; Pr 2463).
