Thresor admirable de la sentence prononcee por Ponce Pilate contre nostre Sauueur Iesus-Christ
Work detail
Apparently the first extant printing of the "Aquila discovery" of a scroll purporting to record the death sentence pronounced by Pilate on Jesus, unearthed in late 1580 and examined by Camillo Borrello, from whose sceptical Italian account--unpublished until 1588--this may be adapted, or from a lost Italian newsbook. A slightly variant and more common 1581 printing, with the imprint of Guillaume Julien[e] of Paris, is probably a (piratical?) close copy of this Lyon octavo, since the Privilege on p. 48, granted to the Lyonnese "marchant libraire" Stratius, is dated 9 January 1581. See Beskow; not in Baudrier.
