This is now considered the FIRST EDITION of the sermons of Pope Leo I (c. 400-461); it was quickly reprinted by Sweynheym and Pannartz later the same year. Lignamine was the first native Italian to finance a printing press, though he is thought to have worked in more of an entrepreneurial capacity and in association with other contemporary printers in Rome (Piero Scapecchi, "An example of printer's copy use in Rome, 1470" and "Johannes Philippus de Lignamine and two untraced editions", The Library, sixth series, 12 (1990), pp. 50-52 and 53-55) . Johannes Andreas is well-known for his editorial work and prefaces for books printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, but the redating of these two editions of Leo I prove that he was also working for Lignamine.
