86. Nicolas Cusanus, Opera

An edition of Nicolas Cusanus published by Parisian humanist printer, Jodocus Badius Ascensius with one of his printer's devices featuring a printing press. This device[1] was used from around 1507 and shows a more primitive type of a printing press compared to a more robust one which begins to appear as a printer's device from around 1520. The latter is used in John Major, Historia Maioris Britanniae (no.82) published in 1521.
