Note: The Spanish Scala Celi

Abstract

• The Scala celi in Spanish, in the edition with which I am here concerned, is a small printed work of only twenty quarto leaves. It has nothing whatever to do with much longer works of the same title (but in Latin) with which it has been confused. Haebler, for example, enters it under 'Johannes Junior', but this is Johannes Gobii, a Dominican, whose folio-sized book was printed at Lubeck in 1476, at Ulmin 1480, at Strasburg in 1483, and at Louvain in 1485 (Goff G 310-13).
