AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

You are purchasing a rare post-incunabula from Hug von Schlettstadt, the rare "Quadruvium ecclesiae," which appeared in 1504 in a German and Latin edition.
Here you are bidding on the second edition from 1509. Format 20 x 13 cm, 84 numbered pages and 2 unnumbered leaves.
The book engages quite critically with the relationship between the Church of the time and the state—and does not spare abuses either.
Very nice are the full-page woodcuts, kept largely in the medieval style, nine in total, two of which are colorized.
The binding is damaged and warped, the first page is loose, internally there is some foxing but otherwise a beautiful print image.
