Cordiale Quattuor Novissimorum by Gerardus de Vliederhoven is a 15th-century devotional reflecting on the Four Last Things: death, judgment, hell, and heaven. It includes the well-known “Accipies” title woodcut depicting St. Gregory instructing young students. While the work is often misattributed to Dionysius the Carthusian, bibliographic entries lean toward Gerardus.

This copy lacks leaves G3, G4, and final blank G6. A corresponding 40-leaf variant is noted in the British Museum Catalogue which is possibly this edition.
