[Cologne] : P[er] me Conradum de Homburch Colome ciuem elaboratissime impressum explicit feliciter. · 6 pictures

This is a Latin sermon collection printed in Cologne around 1480 by Conrad de Homburch, for clergy preaching through the church year. Its pages are set in dense black-letter type with large decorated initials in red, and the rubricated headings mark each sermon's Sunday or feast. A designer might take from them the bold red-and-black initial letters, the tight justified text blocks, and the hand-coloured capitals that open each section.
