Textus Sequentiarum, Expositio Himnorum, and Floretus, 1491
This compilation contains three separate works with separate title pages, each with the identical woodcut illustration. The three works were most likely all printed by Heinrich Quentel of Cologne, Germany in 1491 and 1492 before being bound together in a contemporary german stamped pigskin binding.
There are some earlier annotations throughout the book and several marks of ownership. Two of the ownership marks are handwritten on the title page and a printed bookplate is pasted inside the front cover. All three marks indicate that the book was owned by a Franciscan convent in Lucerne, Switzerland.
