- (5) pp. + the engraving. Asher 28/38; Knuttel 1467; Tiele 677; STCN (7 copies); cf. Alden & Landis (4 copies, eds. not distinguished); Simoni O-46 to 48 (other eds.); OCLC WorldCat (4 copies, eds. not distinguished); not in JCB; for the engraving, see also Atlas van Stolk 1221; Muller, Historieprenten 1254c. A political pamphlet urging the Dutch not to agree to a truce with Spain, presented as a parable told by an old ship's captain, about a sailor who is winning a tug-of-war with the King of Spain, the two pulling on the East and West ends of a staff representing the East and West Indies. This tug-of-war is illustrated in the (landscape-format) copperplate that bears a four-line verse serving as the title of the pamphlet (repeated as a drop-title on the first letterpress page). "One of the most charming pamphlets against the peace" (Tiele). The title alludes to Admiral Cornelis Dirksz, Burgomaster of Monnickendam, who defeated the Spanish fleet in 1573. The engraving is also interesting for the clothing of the eight figures, one of whom may be Prince Maurits. In passing, the ship's captain also mentions that he has dropped anchor at Tierra del Fuego, refers to his compass and book of charts, and mentions Spain's relations with the Moors and Sarasans. The golden staff is the source of the King's power, and he has not only used it to mow down people in the Indies and the Netherlands as though they were wheat: he has also fooled them into mowing down each other. The King now ranges so widely that he begins to feel cramped in the world, and the parable refers to him as "Ghy Valck" (Dutch for "you falcon," but alluding to Guy Fawkes, the Catholic who tried to blow up the English Parliament less than three years before). There are also references to the Indian produce that has made him rich (oranges, lemons, limes, figs and grapes) and to his braiding "Vijghe-korfkens", literally fig baskets, but possibly a typesetting error for or elliptical allusion to "Bije-korfkens," referring to the Netherlands as beehives (see below). It also notes that the King has a medicinal herb he calls "long-term truce" that makes one fall asleep for several years. The closing advice is: hold fast to the East end of the staff, work your way toward the West end, regard that medicinal herb as rat poison, and those who stand and watch should join in to help.The pamphlet must have appeared too late to be issued with the first two editions of the Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf (the second around July 1608) but appeared with the third edition and was explicitly named when most of the Bye-Korf pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608. The authorities apparently considered it one of the most dangerous pamphlets against the proposed truce, and it was certainly one of the most popular, surviving in about ten different editions, most or all published in July or August 1608. It is also the only one to include an engraved illustration. The order of the editions remains unclear, but this is one of the earliest. Knuttel lists eight, with the present as the first of three under the original title, with a good impression of the illustration and without the additions in some later versions of the plate. The engraving shows dunes in the background and no line around the title, so it is apparently Muller 1254c.With a sharp fold near the side of the engraving, but still a very good copy. The slight trim just touches the lower right corner of the engraving, without loss. The only illustrated Bye-Korf pamphlet and in many ways the most interesting.

| De reparatione lapsi. [Crisostomus de Reparat(i)one lapsi ad Amanticu(m) lapsum.]

[Ulrich Zell,] [Cologne:] [1467-1472.] - 4to. [a-e8.] 40 leaves. Modern limp vellum, using old vellum, with title in ms on cover; edges speckled red. Fine copy. Housed in morooco backed folding box.] Though it is now separated, this is the Sexton- Berland-Kraus copy.] First 4 line initial "Q" blue ink surrounded by red penwork decoration in the margin, other initials in red and blue Lombard letters. "De reparatione Lapsi" is a Latin translation of the longer of Chrysostom's Paraeneses ad Theodorum Iapsum. This treatise dates from the four-year period when Chysostom was an anchorite, probably some time between 373 and 381. It is an exhortion in defense of ascetic life to his friend Theodore, who had left monastic life and hoped to marry. Theodore later returned, was ordained, and became bishop of Mopsuestia."Saint John Chrysostom (c.347Ð c.407, archbishop of Constantinople, was an important early father of the church. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities.Known as "the greatest preacher in the early church," John's sermons have been one of his greatest lasting legacies. Chrysostom's extant homiletical works are vast, including many hundreds of exegetical sermons on both the New Testament (especially the works of Saint Paul) and the Old Testament (particularly on Genesis). Among his extant exegetical works are sixty-seven homilies on Genesis, fifty-nine on the Psalms, ninety on the Gospel of Matthew, eighty-eight on the Gospel of John, and fifty-five on the Acts of the Apostles.The sermons were written down by the audience and subsequently circulated, revealing a style that tended to be direct and greatly personal, but was also formed by the rhetorical conventions of his time and place. In general, his homiletical theology displays much characteristic of the Antiochian school (i.e., somewhat more literal in interpreting Biblical events), but he also uses a good deal of the allegorical interpretation more associated with the Alexandrian school." [Wkpd]"Ulrich Zell, Publisher, the first printer of Cologne, born at Hanau-on-the-Main, date unknown; died about 1507. He learned the art of printing before 1462 in the printing establishment of Fust and Schšffer, and seems, shortly after the catastrophe of 1462, to have gone to Cologne, whose university gave promise of a market for printed works. Zell was printing at Cologne apparently as early as 1463, although his first dated book is of the year 1466. His work as printer and publisher can be traced up to the year 1502; altogether about 120 of his publications are known. Of these, however, only nine bear his name, but in all probability he printed and published many more. In outline and cut his six kinds of type are strikingly similar to the "Durandus" and "Clements" types of Fust and Schoffer; it would even seem that a number of the matrices of the "Clements" type had been used. Most of the books printed by Zell were text-books in quarto form for the university. Among the fine productions of his printing shop is an undated edition of the Latin Bible in two volumes. At first he called himself clericus (of the lower orders), but as early as 1471 he married and became a citizen and householder of Cologne. In 1473 he bought the important manorial estate of "Lyskirchen", to which he transferred the main part of his business. In the colophons of his books the place of business is called "apud Lyskirchen". The purchase, sometime later, of various houses, lands, and properties yielding revenues, show that Zell had become a prosperous man. It is also a proof of his importance that for a long time he filled the office of Kirchenmeister (church-master) of "S. Maria an Lyskirchen".

Indagine, Johann.

| "Translation of much of the Astrological part of Indagine."
|
England: Second half of the 19th c. 4to. 24p bound+12p loose+ 3x5 card. 19th century 1/2 vellum over marbled boards, title on paper label on front cover, old owners cryptogram E.H., some of the blank endpapers at either end cut away. Astrological chart and table. John ab Indagine (or von Hagen, or Jager) (ca.1467-1537) , a priest at Steinheim near Frankfurt, dedicated his work, a series of tractates on astrology and chiromancy, to Albrecht, the archbishop of Mainz, along with an attack on scholastic theology. In his work he advocates a natural astrology (i.e., one which observes merely the movement of the sun and the moon) as opposed to an artificial astrology; the work was subsequently specifically named on Pope Paul IV's Index in 1559. Indagine "was an extremely learned man in many fields, and at one time acted as an ambassador to the Pope, though it appears that he had many sympathies with the revolutionary theories of the day..." Gettings p177. This is a manuscript translation of the astrological portions of Indagine's work. The loose leaves seem to be in a different hand and cover other materials of Indagine. The bound manuscript is in a good readable hand. About 34 lines of close writings on each page. The loose card is an astrological chart. The endpaper of the book has the date "1845" in the watermark and the manuscript dates from around that period. Someone has added the note that Jaeger has done the translation but we do not know who this refers to.

Die Ausgabe umfaßt 4 Bände:1. Neutestamentlicher Teil2. Alttestamentlicher Teil I3. Alttestamentlicher Teil II4. Alttestamentlicher Teil IIIDie Faksimile-Ausgabe:Codices Selecti Vol. XC.Vollständige farbige Faksimile-Ausgabe der 920 Seiten (fol. 1-458) im Originalformat (405 x 285 mm). Mit 559 farbigen Federzeichnungen und zahlreichen Initialen. Einband: Leder mit Gold- und Blindprägung (Kopie des Originaleinbandes). Sämtliche Blätter sind dem Original entsprechend randbeschnitten. Der Kommentar:Ferdinand Hutz, Bibliothekar und Archivar des Stiftes Vorau.Limitierte Auflage: 480 handnumerierte Exemplare. Neupreis: 7.254,-. Tadellos neuwertig erhalten.. Das ausgehende Mittelalter war von großen geistigen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Umwälzungen gekennzeichnet. Diese spiegeln sich auch in den Handschriften jener Zeit wider, die als hervorragende Dokumente der kulturellen Entwicklung gelten können. Eine besondere Stellung kommt in diesem Zusammenhang den Historienbibeln zu. In ihnen wurden die biblischen Erzählungen durch profanhistorische und philosophische Exkurse zu einer Art mittelalterlicher Universalgeschichte, die von der Schöpfung bis zum Jüngsten Gericht reichte, ausgebaut. Wo das biblische Geschehen historische Lücken aufwies, schloß man diese unter Heranziehung apokrypher Schriften, Legenden und weltlicher Geschichtswerke. In der Sprache des Volkes verfaßt, erfüllten die Historienbibeln somit einerseits die Forderung nach religiös-erzieherischer Erbauung, dienten andererseits zugleich aber auch weiten Teilen der Bevölkerung als einzig zugängliches Geschichtsbuch. Unter den rund 100 deutschsprachigen Historienbibeln nimmt die Vorauer Volksbibel in künstlerischer Hinsicht unbestritten den höchsten Rang ein. Insgesamt 559 (!) Miniaturen begleiten den in einer baierisch-österreichischen Mundart verfaßten Text und belegen einmal mehr die starke Bilderfreude des Spätmittelalters.. Faksimile

[Ulrich Zell,] [Cologne:] [1466-1467.] 4to. [a-c8, d6.] 22 folios. Modern limp vellum using old vellum, title in hand on front cover; Eric Sexton's leather booklabel; edges speckled red; minor foxing, a vey fine copy. Housed in morooco backed folding box.] Though it is now separated, this is the Sexton- Berland- Kraus copy.] 27 lines, gothic type 1:96 (leaded to c.104), 4 line initial ms "P" in blue with penwork decoration extending into margin at beginning of Book I, similar 4 line initial "R" in red to Book II; other smaller initials alternately in blue and red, yellow capital strokes. Homily on the 50th Psalm, the great penitential psalm."Saint John Chrysostom (c.347Ð c.407, archbishop of Constantinople, was an important early father of the church. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities.Known as "the greatest preacher in the early church," John's sermons have been one of his greatest lasting legacies. Chrysostom's extant homiletical works are vast, including many hundreds of exegetical sermons on both the New Testament (especially the works of Saint Paul) and the Old Testament (particularly on Genesis). Among his extant exegetical works are sixty-seven homilies on Genesis, fifty-nine on the Psalms, ninety on the Gospel of Matthew, eighty-eight on the Gospel of John, and fifty-five on the Acts of the Apostles.The sermons were written down by the audience and subsequently circulated, revealing a style that tended to be direct and greatly personal, but was also formed by the rhetorical conventions of his time and place. In general, his homiletical theology displays much characteristic of the Antiochian school (i.e., somewhat more literal in interpreting Biblical events), but he also uses a good deal of the allegorical interpretation more associated with the Alexandrian school." [Wkpd]"Ulrich Zell, Publisher, the first printer of Cologne, born at Hanau-on-the-Main, date unknown; died about 1507. He learned the art of printing before 1462 in the printing establishment of Fust and Schšffer, and seems, shortly after the catastrophe of 1462, to have gone to Cologne, whose university gave promise of a market for printed works. Zell was printing at Cologne apparently as early as 1463, although his first dated book is of the year 1466. His work as printer and publisher can be traced up to the year 1502; altogether about 120 of his publications are known. Of these, however, only nine bear his name, but in all probability he printed and published many more. In outline and cut his six kinds of type are strikingly similar to the "Durandus" and "Clements" types of Fust and Schoffer; it would even seem that a number of the matrices of the "Clements" type had been used. Most of the books printed by Zell were text-books in quarto form for the university. Among the fine productions of his printing shop is an undated edition of the Latin Bible in two volumes. At first he called himself clericus (of the lower orders), but as early as 1471 he married and became a citizen and householder of Cologne. In 1473 he bought the important manorial estate of "Lyskirchen", to which he transferred the main part of his business. In the colophons of his books the place of business is called "apud Lyskirchen". The purchase, sometime later, of various houses, lands, and properties yielding revenues, show that Zell had become a prosperous man. It is also a proof of his importance that for a long time he filled the office of Kirchenmeister (church-master) of "S. Maria an Lyskirchen". Of much importance in the history of the discovery of printing is Zell's statement, preserved in the Chronicle of Cologne of 1499, that the year 1450 was the date of the beginning of printing, that the country-squire Johann Gutenberg was the inventor of it, and that the first book printed was the Latin Bible, the Vulgate.

| Translation of much of the Astrological part of Indagine."
|
England: Second half of the 19th c. 4to. 24p bound+12p loose+ 3x5 card. 19th century 1/2 vellum over marbled boards, title on paper label on front cover, old owners cryptogram E.H., some of the blank endpapers at either end cut away. Astrological chart and table. John ab Indagine (or von Hagen, or Jager) (ca.1467-1537) , a priest at Steinheim near Frankfurt, dedicated his work, a series of tractates on astrology and chiromancy, to Albrecht, the archbishop of Mainz, along with an attack on scholastic theology. In his work he advocates a natural astrology (i.e., one which observes merely the movement of the sun and the moon) as opposed to an artificial astrology; the work was subsequently specifically named on Pope Paul IV's Index in 1559. Indagine "was an extremely learned man in many fields, and at one time acted as an ambassador to the Pope, though it appears that he had many sympathies with the revolutionary theories of the day." Gettings p177. This is a manuscript translation of the astrological portions of Indagine's work. The loose leaves seem to be in a different hand and cover other materials of Indagine. The bound manuscript is in a good readable hand. About 34 lines of close writings on each page. The loose card is an astrological chart. The endpaper of the book has the date "1845" in the watermark and the manuscript dates from around that period. Someone has added the note that Jaeger has done the translation but we do not know who this refers to.

[Cologne:] [Ulrich Zell,] [1467-1472.] 4to. [a-e8.] 40 leaves. Modern limp vellum, using old vellum, with title in ms on cover; edges speckled red. Fine copy. Housed in morooco backed folding box.] Though it is now separated, this is the Sexton- Berland-Kraus copy.] First 4 line initial "Q" blue ink surrounded by red penwork decoration in the margin, other initials in red and blue Lombard letters. "De reparatione Lapsi" is a Latin translation of the longer of Chrysostom's Paraeneses ad Theodorum Iapsum. This treatise dates from the four-year period when Chysostom was an anchorite, probably some time between 373 and 381. It is an exhortion in defense of ascetic life to his friend Theodore, who had left monastic life and hoped to marry. Theodore later returned, was ordained, and became bishop of Mopsuestia. "Saint John Chrysostom (c.347– c.407, archbishop of Constantinople, was an important early father of the church.

His work as printer and publisher can be traced up to the year 1502; altogether about 120 of his publications are known. Of these, however, only nine bear his name, but in all probability he printed and published many more. In outline and cut his six kinds of type are strikingly similar to the "Durandus" and "Clements" types of Fust and Schoffer; it would even seem that a number of the matrices of the "Clements" type had been used. Most of the books printed by Zell were text-books in quarto form for the university. Among the fine productions of his printing shop is an undated edition of the Latin Bible in two volumes. At first he called himself clericus (of the lower orders), but as early as 1471 he married and became a citizen and householder of Cologne. In 1473 he bought the important manorial estate of "Lyskirchen", to which he transferred the main part of his business. In the colophons of his books the place of business is called "apud Lyskirchen". The purchase, sometime later, of various houses, lands, and properties yielding revenues, show that Zell had become a prosperous man. It is also a proof of his importance that for a long time he filled the office of Kirchenmeister (church-master) of "S. Maria an Lyskirchen". Of much importance in the history of the discovery of printing is Zell's statement, preserved i

"De reparatione Lapsi" is a Latin translation of the longer of Chrysostom's Paraeneses ad Theodorum Iapsum. This treatise dates from the four-year period when Chysostom was an anchorite, probably some time between 373 and 381. It is an exhortion in defense of ascetic life to his friend Theodore, who had left monastic life and hoped to marry. Theodore later returned, was ordained, and became bishop of Mopsuestia. "Saint John Chrysostom (c.347&endash; c.407, archbishop of Constantinople, was an important early father of the church. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities...Known as "the greatest preacher in the early church, " John's sermons have been one of his greatest lasting legacies. Chrysostom's extant homiletical works are vast, including many hundreds of exegetical sermons on both the New Testament (especially the works of Saint Paul) and the Old Testament (particularly on Genesis). Among his extant exegetical works are sixty-seven homilies on Genesis, fifty-nine on the Psalms, ninety on the Gospel of Matthew, eighty-eight on the Gospel of John, and fifty-five on the Acts of the Apostles. The sermons were written down by the audience and subsequently circulated, revealing a style that tended to be direct and greatly personal, but was also formed by the rhetorical conventions of his time and place. In general, his homiletical theology displays much characteristic of the Antiochian school (i.e., somewhat more literal in...
