A VENETIAN INCUNABULUM FROM THE MUSEUM „LACZKÓ DEZSŐ" LIBRARY (VESZPRÉM) A work by master Johannes de Magistris, a philosophy teacher from the university of Paris, in which he discussed the Aristotle commentaries of Duns Scotus, was published in Venice in 1487. The printer was Bonetto Locatello. The text of the first lines is as follows, "Incipiunt questiones perutiles sup[er] tota phi-//losophia magistri Joannis Magistri doctoris// parisiensis cum explanatione textus Aristote-//lis s[ecundu]m mentem doctoris subtilis Scoti".

The closing lines are known from the incunabulum catalogue (HAIN 1826-1838, * 10448), "Questiones p[er]utiles super tota philosophia// naturali magistri Joan[n]is de Magistris docto-//ris parisie[n]sis cu[m] explanatione textus Aristotelis// s[ecundu]m me[n]te[m] doctoris subtilis Scoti féliciter finiunt.

//Impresse 1487. tertio kalendas iunij. Per bonetum loca-//tellum. sumptibus [et] expensis Octaviani Sco//ti Modoetiensis. Augustino barbadico Incli-//to venetiarum duce.//Finis". It is a printed work in two columns, set in rotunda type close to the borgis letter size (3.65 mm), ornamented with woodcut initials. The paper from the body of the book is a local product with an anchor watermark. The writing form of the hand-written marginal glosses found in just a single chapter (Metheororum) is the so-called cursiva currens. The previous owner was the library of the Sümeg monastery of the order of St Francis. According to a hand-written note, it was deposited in 1919 by Róbert Vlasics OSB; at the time the note was written he was still a Pannonhalma novice, then later a priest-teacher. The article finally presents the known data on how the incunabulum came into the possession of the Veszprém Dezső Laczkó Museum library. 133
