Very rare editions of sermons by Oswaldus Pelbart de Temesvar published by Jean Schwab, also known as Jean Clein, a printer in Lyon born in Germany around 1466, journeyman printer in Lyon in 1490, protector at Jean Trechsel's from 1493 to 1498, then his successor from 1498 to 1530 following his marriage to the widow of Jean Treschel. Oswaldus Pelbart of Temesvar was born in 1430 in Temesvár in Hungary (today Timioara, in Romania). He studied at the University of Krakow and became a licentiate in theology in 1463. A renowned preacher, he is mentioned in the Annals of the Franciscan community of the monastery of St. John in Buda (Budapest). His writings were published from 1483 and the first printed edition of his Sermons dates from 1498. He died on January 9, 1504 in Buda as a highly distinguished author and teacher. Baudrier cites 3 copies of the first work, in Nantes, Troyes and Toulouse. He does not give any indication for the second one but Brunet who references it indicates that this edition from Lyon, from the end of the 15th century, is rare, as well as all those of the same work and of other Latin sermons of the same preacher, printed with or without date before the year 1536. First work nicely rubricated in red ink. A very nice copy, from the Hans Furstenberg library with his bookplate. Old restorations to the binding, beginning of a split at one of the spines, title piece torn off, title (A1) of the first work missing, repair to the last leaf, pale angular wetness to several leaves.
