VD16 C 4900. BM STC German Books, S. 122. Vgl. Adams B 1957 (Edition from 1516, identical in colation). - An early Froben edition of the comprehensive biblical concordance by the Franciscan Conradus of Halberstadt (d. ca. 1450), one of the most important tools for the study of Scripture in the late Middle Ages and early modern period. The work lists the words found in the Old and New Testaments along with their references and served preachers, theologians, and humanists as a fundamental reference work for exegesis and sermon preparation. This edition contains the concordances for both inflectable and non-inflectable words (“declinabilium” and “indeclinabilium dictionum,” respectively). - The title border features the Church Fathers, the symbols of the four Evangelists, Peter, and Paul.
