An Incunable of the Utmost Rarity. Johann Zainer the Elder fl. 1472-93 established the first printing press at Ulm where his first book is dated 1473. This pocket psalter by Zainer is undated; the colophon gives only the printer's name and the city in which it was printed. ISTC gives a conjectural date of around 1480. The book's handy but fragile format a thick octavo that would have been easily portable for late fifteenth-century users doubtless guaranteed a low survival rate. Indeed the few copies which have survived are often incomplete fragments or in poor condition. ISTC gives the following locations: France: Strasbourg BNU imperfect wanting Commune sanctorum; Germany: Bamberg SB; Berlin SB; Fulda HLB; Leipzig DB/Buch fragment missing; München BSB 2 imperfect; Stuttgart WLB 3; U.S.A: Washington DC Washington Cathedral Library this copy The present copy - the only copy in America - is complete save for the first two leaves of the Calendar and the blank leaf at the end.
