Folio. 1512, This volume, of the greatest rarity, contains 38 ff., printed in black and red from type of 13 founts, with Teutonic musical notation on a staff of 4 red lines.

This curious volume is not only a remarkable specimen of typography, but is of considerable interest as affording an example of the encouragement given by high ecclesiastical dignitaries to those who, though within the Church, were doing as much as, if not more, to sap the foundations of the Christian religion, than even Huss or Luther. The office of S. Hierome, composed for the Abbey of Zwiefalten in 1509 by Henry Bebel of Justingen, Leonard Clement of Ulm, archpriest of Zwiefalten, and John Cassel of Gyslingen, was approved, indulgenced and promulgated by Uriel, archbishop of Mentz, 11th May, 1510. The office of S. Anne was entirely composed by Bebel; the melodies and musical notation for both offices were written by Clement. The hymns that follow in honour of S. George, S. Barbara, S. Thomas the apostle, SS. Cosmas and Damian, are by Bebel, and those in honour of S. Clement and S. Beatus, by Clement. The dedicatory epistle to Leonard Dürr, abbot of Adelberg and visitor of the Premonstratensian order in Suabia, Bavaria, and Switzerland, is followed by a letter of Bebel's addressed to all archbishops, bishops, and prelates in Germany.
