Hagenaw, 1499. Henricus Gran, impensis Joha(n)nis Ryman. (748)p. First four leaves (title page+Tabula) replaced by copies.
Second edition. It was first published two years earlier in the same place.
Osvát Laskai, a Franciscan monk, became the head of the Hungarian order in 1497 and came into contact with the first publisher in Germany in the modern sense, Johann Rynmann from Hagenau. All but one of his works were published by him. Laskai likely drew the publisher's attention to the works of his master, Pelbárt Temesvári. Thanks to Rynman, both became the most published Hungarian authors abroad for a long time. Although Laskai is a more exciting writer than Temesvári, but did not become as popular as him. While Pelbárt's works were used more by ordinary priests and monks, Osvát's writings were addressed to more theologically educated readers. As Pelbárt's student and the finisher of his Rosarium, his person has been mixed up with his fellow orderly in the literature for centuries. The collection of sermons entitled "Biga salutis" (Chariot of Salvation) is divided into three parts according to the church holidays. "Sermones de sanctis" contains sermons for the feast days of the saints ("Sermones dominicales" contain sermons for Sundays and "Quadragesimale" for Lent).
Restored in contemporary leather binding, the back board and the spine preserve the fragments of the bound leather, divided into geometric fields with lines and decorated with the imprint of floral-patterned individual stamps, which can be used to recall the original image of the book. Clasps replaced.
