First edition of this set of sermons defending the eucharistic doctrine. The Dominican Henricus Institoris (ca. 1430-1505), better known by his German name of Heinrich Kramer, became (in)famous for his "Malleus Maleficarum" (Hexenhammer), a guide explaining how to interrogate and identify the so-called witches.
Provenance: Sven Borgström was born in Malmö in 1927 and worked as a chemist in Stockholm, Malmö and Lund. His fine library which was built up over many years, consists mainly of older books dated from the 15th century to the late 18th century. His book-collecting began, as it perhaps should, with an incunabula. Borgström's interests included printers, book bindings, book illustrations, and he was interested in history, travel and maps. As a result of previous coin collecting, the subject of numismatics was also of interest in his library. Sven Borgström died 95 years old.
