I: First and only edition of this German (abridged) translation of Dionysius's "Contra Alchoranum", not printed until 1533. The translator, in all likelihood, was also Eppendorff. The three woodcuts on the title page show a group of Jews, Martin Luther (here captioned "Sergius the heretic"), and "Mahomet". - II: Rare first German edition of these treatises by Petrus Nannius, Juan Luis Vives, Josse de Fontanus, and Paolo Giovio. Heinrich von Eppendorff, a personal friend of Ulrich von Hutten, is known especially for his altercations with Erasmus of Rotterdam. Of particular interest is the portrait of Emperor Charles V on p. 101 (lacking in some copies). The ornamental title border shows ten portraits of emperors in medallions. - Title page of I trimmed rather closely at right edge (no loss to illustration); several ff. show slight defects or were remargined at an early date (no loss to text).
