La vida de sant Honorat arquebisbe de Arles. Printer: Juan Joffre. Valencia, October 31st 1513. Size: 4º. 72 leaves (144 pages). Only copy known to exist in the world. Includes six woodcut prints.

The patently popular style of this Valencian post-incunabulum reveals a typographic product very typical of Juan Joffre's printing works. The history of Valencia is steeped in devout traditions as its typographical history clearly demonstrates.

This is the only copy known of in the world and only one of its leaves, no. 38 is mutilated. Particularly noteworthy are the seven prints interspersed throughout the text, some of which are factotum images, i.e. produced using multipurpose woodcut printing blocks.
