Notes:Imprint from Colophon: Impressum Venetiis per Bernardinum Benalium.
Previously thought to be an incunabula, this edition was printed after 1500. The strong woodcuts depicting the twelve Sybils are Venetian copies of those in earlier Roman editions. As pagan figures prophesying Christ, the Sibyls were given great credence in the Middle Ages. Their number could vary, but commonly, as here, they number 12 to match the 12 prophets of the Old Testament -- Christies sale 5621.
12 large woodcuts of the Sibyls, each with 4-part border, historiated and ornamental woodcut initials.
The cento has a separate title page and register: Probe centone vatis clarissime a diuo Hieronymo comprobate. Centonam fidei nostre mysterijs e Maronis carminibus excerptum opusculum.
