First edition of the Latin Bible with the Glossa ordinaria, the standard Bible commentary of the later eleventh and early twelfth century, composed by Anselm of Laon, Ralph of Laon and Gilbert of Auxerre. The layout preserves the traditional manuscript format, distinguishing the Biblical text from the Glossa ordinaria surrounding it, and from the interlinear gloss, which usually consists of definitions or paraphrases of specific words. This edition is dated from inscriptions in the Cambridge University Library and Sion College copies which imply that those copies were purchased in 1480. HC 3173*; GW 4282; BMC I 92; Bod-inc B-314; BSB-Ink B-442; ISTC ib00607000; Goff B-607.

Contemporary calf over wooden boards, central panels with blindstamped floral motif within roll-tooled borders, central bevels (lacking clasps, upper joint of vol. 1 starting, spine labels renewed, vols. 2 and 3 rebacked, all restored).
