Gregory's Homilies, of which this is the first edition, and the three
next following works bound with it, are from the press of Günther
Zainer, of Reutlingen, the first printer of Augsburg. All are in the
same type, the heavy-faced gothic of his second font, are rubricated by
the same hand, and though two of them are undated, were all evidently
printed at about the same time. He was the first printer in Germany to
make use of roman type, of which the earliest example seems to have been
his "Calendarium pro anno 1472." He died in 1478, ten years after the
appearance of his first dated book.
