Wachsmann,S.
|
| Aegeans in the Theban Tombs
|
Peeters - 9789068310665 The wall paintings of several Theban tombs represent foreigners who present gifts that are sometimes typically Cretan or Aegean. Other foreigners, although labeled «Princes of Keftiu» (Crete), are represented as Asiatics. The aim of the present volume is to analyze these wall paintings in order to distinguish the Aegeans and their gifts. The author manages to establish their characteristics in nine Theban tombs, divides chronologically in two groups, and shows that the related figures reflect actual Aegeo-Egyptian relations in the time of the XVIIIth dynasty, down to c. 1470/1450 BC. This result is obtained by a careful comparison of represented gifts with undoubtedly Minoan objects and documents from the Aegean, especially Crete.

THOMAS D'AQUIN (Saint)
|
| Quodlibeta duodecim disputata circa annum d(omi)ni M.CC.LXX. (EDITION INCUNABLE, UNE DES PREMIERS IMPRESSIONS ROMAINES)
|
- S.l.n.d. (Rome, Georgius Lauer, ca 1470). In folio plein vélin ivoire cordé de l’époque à petits rabats, titre manuscrit en long au dos, (1) f. blanc, (217) f., 33 lignes longues à la page avec les initiales en rouge. Edition princeps incunable de ce texte majeur de Thomas d'Aquin, l'une des toutes premières impressions romaines, donnée par Georg Lauer dont c'est l'une des premières productions. Originaire de Wurtzbourg, Georg Lauer (ou Laver) installa, en cette année 1470, une presse au monastère Saint Eusèbe, sous la protection du cardinal Caraffa. Il utilise ici un caractère romain aux formes arrondies tenant à la fois du gothique par leur graisse et du romain par leur dessin, caractère proche de celui de Conrad Sweynheym et Arnoldo Pannartz, élèves de Gutenberg et introducteurs de l'imprimerie en Italie cinq années auparavant (1465). Acte universitaire par excellence dans le haut enseignement médiéval, les «Disputes» constituent la clé de voûte de l'œuvre de Thomas d'Aquin. C'est, plus encore, dans l'activité périlleuse et redoutée des «Disputes de quolibet» (questions extraordinaires), qu'il excellait particulièrement : elles permettaient aux participants, lors de séances solennelles bisannuelles, de poser librement au maître les questions les plus diverses, souvent alors de brûlante actualité. Thomas conclut l'un des douze exercices quolibetiques qu'il conduisit ainsi : «Si nous résolvons les problèmes de la foi par seule voie d'autorité, nous posséderons certes la vérité, mais dans une tête vide». (Brunet, V, 827. Goff, T, 182. Hain-Copinger, 1400. Pellechet, 1002. Marais, Bibliothèque Mazarine, 25. Deschamps, 100). Dos d'origine conservé, plats restaurés, gardes renouvelées, exemplaire anciennement lavé, galeries de vers comblées dans les marges, quelques taches d'encre et brunissures. Bon exemplaire, solide, bien relié, complet. Le premier feuillet blanc, qui a été conservé, comporte l’ex-libris manuscrit à l’époque : «Ad usum Iacinti Iati». [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Book of Hours, use of Rome.
|
| Illuminated Latin manuscript on vellum.
|
Northern Italy (Torino diocese), 1470/1480. - 120 ff. 140 x 115 mm, lacking one single leaf in quire xii (end of "Oratio S. Anselmi" before Office of the Dead, which was removed as a whole in the 18th century); otherwise complete. Collation: i8, ii4, iii-xii8, xiii3 (instead of 4), xiv-xvi8, xvii3 (instead of 6: three final blanks omitted). Vertical catchwords, 16 lines, written space 110 x 850 mm. Written in brown ink in a rounded gothic liturgical hand, rubrics in red, 13 large historiated initials, initials 4-5 lines high in burnished gold on panelled grounds, one with a one-sided illuminated border of colored leaves and flowers with tiny gold bezants. 158 two-line illuminated initials for each psalm in burnished gold on panels divided into red, green, and blue with delicate tracery in white and yellow, one-line and two-line initials throughout alternately in blue and burnished gold. 18th-c. calf with cover fillets; remains of clasps. Book of Hours written for a layman close to the Third Order of St. Francis, as suggested by red highlighting of the feasts of St. Bernardino of Siena and of the Order's founder (Oct. 4) within the (non-liturgical) calendar. The emphasis on St. Francis and St. Bernardino in the litany (they are placed immediately after St. Benedict), as that on Clara of Assisi and Elizabeth of Thuringia, and also a prayer from the Office of St. Francis, appended shortly after the completion of the ms. on fol. 94v, support this attribution. - The calendar and litany commemorate three great popular preachers besides St. Francis, namely the Franciscan Bernardino of Siena, d. 1444 (5v, 105r), the Dominican Vincent Ferrer, d. 1419 (105r), and the Augustinian Hermit Nicholas of Tolentino, d. 1305 (9r), a fact that underlines the lay element of the manuscript. - The illumination of the text is remarkable: while the Office of the Virgin is usually illustrated by a childhood or passion cycle (the Annunciation classically forming the opening scene), the first historiated initial here contains a rather abstract devotional picture of Mary, serving as an obligatory bow to the Virgin's eschatological importance; the following hours, however, invoke a series of additional advocates for the reader's salvation. Especially noteworthy is the distinction awarded to St. Michael, who occupies the only five-line initial, while all the other figures are fitted within four-line characters. The illustrated litany extends beyond the Office of the Virgin to another text (59v), so that a total of nine saints (Mary, Michael, John the Evangelist, Catharine, Jerome, John the Baptist, Anthony, Francis, Elizabeth) are commemorated in illuminations. - Some leaves (including the first) rather rubbed; decorative initials within calendar trimmed during rebinding; a few smudges and small stains, but mostly sound.

Vergilius, Polydorus
|
| De rerum inventoribus libri VIII et de prodigiis libri III. Leiden, Franciscus Hegerus, 1644 [ 2 delen in 1 band]
|
12º: *#8 2*#12 A-2I#12 2K#4 (2K4 blanco), gepag.:[40] 565 [7] 209 [95] pp., op de gegraveerde titelpagina een afbeelding van de "typographia inventor", typografische titelpagina met drukkersmerk "Vivimvs ex vno". Contemporain perkament, schutbladen vernieuwd, goed exemplaar. 'De rerum inventoribus' (Uitvindingen) van de Italiaanse humanist Polydorus Vergilius (1470 - 1555) is een van dé bestsellers van de vroegmoderne tijd. Van de eerste druk in 1499 tot het eind van de zeventiende eeuw zijn meer dan honderd uitgaven bekend, ruim zestig in het Latijn, de rest in zeker zeven landstalen, waaronder het Nederlands (1612, 1663). Vergilius is tot zijn dood aan het boek blijven werken, de laatste geautoriseerde uitgave verscheen in 1550. In de eerste drie boeken worden technische, wetenschappelijke en culturele uitvindingen en vernieuwingen besproken (bij de boekdrukkunst wordt Gutenberg als uitvinder genoemd), in de overige vijf beschrijft Vergilius kerkelijke instellingen en gebruiken. De zeer kritische wijze waarop dat gebeurt verklaart waarom het boek op de Index van verboden boeken terecht kwam en er "gezuiverde", dus zwaar gecensureerde katholieke edities zijn verschenen. Achter 'De rerum inventibus' volgt de dialoog 'De prodigiis et sortibus', die in 1531 voor het eerst werd gedrukt. Het is een gesprek tussen Vergilius en zijn vriend uit Cambridge Robert Ridley.

FULL PAGE MINIATURES: Crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John beside the Holy Cross, f. 7v; Whitsunday, f. 10v; Virgin and Child with Angels, f. 13v; Annunciation, f. 28v; Judgment Day, f. 69; nail from the Holy Cross and chest wound of Chirst, f. 128. MINIATURE ALONG THE TEXT Pieta, c. 23; Virgin with Child and Saint John Evangelist, f. 26; Saint Michael, f. 65; S. John Baptist, f. 65v; S. Nicholas, f. 66; S Lorenzo, f. 66v; S. Barbara, f. 67; S. Catherine, f. 67v; S. Margaret, f. 68; Mary Magdalena, f. 68v. ORIGIN: the names of Saints on the calendar and those mentioned in the litanies suggest a provenance from the south of the Netherlands. Two full page miniatures are characterised by blank recto, as in Dutch productions; the recto of the four remaining full page illuminations presents the ruling, common to the productions from France; the concurrence all of the two styles is typical of the manuscripts from Picardy and of the Regions on the border with France, while the style of miniatures is typical from the area of Bruges. The miniatures are the work of two different illuminators: the first, influenced by Loyset Liedet, is the author of miniatures with text on the front (ff.10v, 13v, 28v and 83v), characterised by slender lines, simplified contours and soft colours (blue, pink and grey) highlighted by details in liquid gold; the second, connectable to the group of followers of Willem Vrelant, is the author of the two other large miniatures (f.7v and c. 89v) and of the smaller miniatures along the text, with strong colours (blue, yellow, orange and red), emphasized in the details and the contours. The elements of nail and of the wound, that indicate a devotion based on physical reality of the suffering of Christ, are represented in an hypothetical 1:1 scale, as specified in the text that describes the illuminations; this graphic feature is quite common for the iconography of the wound more unusual for the nail. Very fine copy PROVENANCE: I. At front inside cover, ex-libris of Six van Hillegom, member of a Flemish family renowned for its patronage since Rembrandt years. II.

Illuminated manuscript leaf on
|
| Illuminated miniature of the Annunciation.
|
- Florence: c.1470-1480. 127 c 187 mm, verso blank. Framed. This glorious leaf is unmistakably in the style of Francesco di Antonio del Chierico, one of the finest Florentine illuminators of the period. Garzelli reproduces several miniatures of the Annunciation and one miniature in particular, (now in Modena, Bib. Estense, cod. lat 855f, 13v, see fig. 212 in Garzoni's catalogue) shows several close parallels with this leaf. The style and attitude of the Virgin is especially close, as is the treatment of the window. Also, in the border, there are similarities in the figure of God the father, the urns supported by putti, and the floral motifs. Another artist, Francesco Rosselli, has also been noticed as have stylistic similarities to the central figure in this leaf in his Annunciation in Bib. Vat, barb. Lat 382, f. 15v (see Garzoni ff.536.) The arms of the Cresci family are in the lower border. See Annarosa Garzelli, Miniature Fiorentina del Rinascimento 1440-1525, Florence 1985. Cataloguing derived from the Maggs Bros. description. Full description and images available on my website.

[Fitzherbert, Anthony (1470- - 1538)]. [Rastell, William (?1508-1565)]. La Nouvelle Natura Breviu[m] du Iudge Tresreuerende Monsieur Anthony Fitzherbert, Denierement Renue &. Corrige per Laucteur, Auecques un Table Perfecte des Choses Notables Contenus en Ycell, Nouelment Compose per Guiliaulme Rastell, & Iammais per Cydeuaunt Imprimee. London: In Aedibus Richardi Tottelli, 1567. [xxxii], 271 fols. Octavo (4-1/2" x 6-1/2"). Recent period-style calf, raised bands and gilt title to spine, endpapers renewed. Handsome woodcut title page and initials. Early signature to head of title page, extensive annotations and marginalia in fine early court hand. Edges trimmed with occasional loss to annotations, minor worming to bottom margin with negligible loss to text. Browning, light foxing and faint dampstaining in a few places, interior otherwise clean. An appealing copy. * First published in 1534, the Nouvelle Natura Brevium is a manual of procedure written by a Judge of the Common Pleas during the reign of Henry VIII. Winfield notes that "Coke put it among the books which he considered most necessary and of greatest authority and excellency"; Blackstone considered it an authority as well. Compiled from the earlier Natura Brevia and the Registrum Brevium, it includes several original observations on the form and function of writs. Rastell's revisions include the addition of a table. A popular work, it went through numerous editions in Law French and English, the final appearing in 1794. It remains significant to this day for its descriptions of writs that were becoming obsolete in the early sixteenth century. Winfield, Chief Sources of English Legal History 303.

Josephus, Flavius:
|
| De antiquitate Judaica. (GWM 15160).
|
Augsburg, Johann Schüssler, 28. Juni 1470, Type 1.. Zweispaltiges, 50-zeiliges Original-Inkunabelblatt mit einer 2- und 4-zeiligen roten Lombarde und roten Rubriken. Festes Papier. Im unteren Rand bräunlicher Fleck. Wasserzeichen: P mit Kreuzstandarte. Handschriftl. Kapitel- u. Blattzahl der Zeit. Blattgröße: 28,9 x 39,5 cm. Incunabula text leaf.. Blatt aus der Erstausgabe dieses Werkes von Flavius Josephus! The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (37-after 93 A.D) visited Rome in early adulthood, returning to Jerusalem in 66 on the eve of the Jewish Revolt against Roman domination. He tried to persuade the nationalist leaders that war with Rome could lead only to disaster, but without success. When the revolt broke out in the same year, Josephus was given command of Galilee by the Sanhedrin. He survived the siege of Jotapata and was captured; his life was spared when he prophesied to the Roman commander Vespasian that he would become emperor, but he was kept in captivity until his prediction was fulfilled in 69. After the fall of Jerusalem in 70 he did what he could to help his Jewish friends. Subsequently he settled in Rome, where he received Roman citizenship, a house and a pension. His first work, Bellum Iudaicum (Jewish War), in seven books, was originally written in Aramaic for circulation among the Jews who settled in Mesopotamia after the Diaspora, and later translated into Greek (Jerome called him 'the Greek Livy'). The first part of the Bellum Iudaicum deals with the history of the Jews during the two hundred years or so before the revolt; the rest is devoted to the events of the war, many of which he witnessed in person. It ends with the capture of Masada. His next work was Antiquitates Iudaicae (Jewish archaeology) in twenty books, a history of the Jews from Adam to AD 66, giving a fuller account than the Bellum Iudaicum of the events covered by the latter work.. This leaf from his first edition of any of the works of Josephus consists of the fourth-century Latin translation of "The Jewish War "ascribed to Rufinus, and the sixth-century translation of the "Jewish Antiquities". We can offer various leafs of this work. Wir können Ihnen mehrere Blätter aus diesem Werk anbieten.

Vergilius, Polydorus
|
| De rerum inventoribus libri VIII et de prodigiis libri III. Leiden, Franciscus Hegerus, 1644 [ 2 delen in 1 band]
|
12º: *#8 2*#12 A-2I#12 2K#4 (2K4 blanco), gepag.:[40] 565 [7] 209 [95] pp., op de gegraveerde titelpagina een afbeelding van de "typographia inventor", typografische titelpagina met drukkersmerk "Vivimvs ex vno". Contemporain perkament, schutbladen vernieuwd, goed exemplaar. 'De rerum inventoribus' (Uitvindingen) van de Italiaanse humanist Polydorus Vergilius (1470 - 1555) is een van dé bestsellers van de vroegmoderne tijd. Van de eerste druk in 1499 tot het eind van de zeventiende eeuw zijn meer dan honderd uitgaven bekend, ruim zestig in het Latijn, de rest in zeker zeven landstalen, waaronder het Nederlands (1612, 1663). Vergilius is tot zijn dood aan het boek blijven werken, de laatste geautoriseerde uitgave verscheen in 1550. In de eerste drie boeken worden technische, wetenschappelijke en culturele uitvindingen en vernieuwingen besproken (bij de boekdrukkunst wordt Gutenberg als uitvinder genoemd), in de overige vijf beschrijft Vergilius kerkelijke instellingen en gebruiken. De zeer kritische wijze waarop dat gebeurt verklaart waarom het boek op de Index van verboden boeken terecht kwam en er "gezuiverde", dus zwaar gecensureerde katholieke edities zijn verschenen. Achter 'De rerum inventibus' volgt de dialoog 'De prodigiis et sortibus', die in 1531 voor het eerst werd gedrukt. Het is een gesprek tussen Vergilius en zijn vriend uit Cambridge Robert Ridley.

Medieval Miniature-King David
|
| King David In Penitence - Historiated initial "U" cut from a choirbook (c.1470).
|
Ferrara: c.1470. 113 x 128mm (overall). From illuminated manuscript on vellum. Within a pink-stavedinitial decorated with white penwork and blue and green foliage and set against a burnished gold ground, the half length figure of King David, white-haired and bearded, wearing a girdled green robe and a tall turbaned crown, beating his breasts and his eyes raised towards the golden rays that spark to decorate the dark blue background. Some staining affecting the background, some losses to gold. Cut to shape. Mounted and framed. From the collection of Duncan Benesford-Jones. Large in size. This fine intial is attributable to Guglielmo Giraldi or one of his collaborators. He was the favorite illumintaor of Borso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara and was also responsible for the decoration of series of choirbooks for Ferraese churches and monasteries. The present intial is tellingly close in drapery style, gesture, and background to his work.

| Medieval Monastery Scriptorium - Double Sided Leaf; miniature
|
[monastery Scriptorium for Noble class], 1470. circa 1470, Dutch / German. Two sided-leaf, in red, blue and black ink. Written in miniscule on vellum. 3.75" x 2.75" Anonymous; Psalters such as the one this leaf comes from were created in late medieval monastery scriptoria. Minor marginal toning, else about fine. When, in the fifteenth century, a King from the region would hold court in the numerous castles throughout his realm, the nobility would follow with their prayer books. These were intentionally manufactured on this miniature scale by the monasteries to allow the nobility to easily carry them on these journeys. This remarkably well-preserved red, blue and black ink two-sided page originated in one such psalter. Nice example of incunabula - printed artifacts originating prior to 1501. Please feel free to ask questions or request additional scans. - Jeff Harvey L30A. Unknown. Near Fine. 3.75" x 2.75".

Norditalien (Diözese Turin), 1470/1480.. 120 Bll. 140:115 mm, es fehlt ein Einzelblatt in Lage xii (Schluß der "Oratio S. Anselmi" vor dem "Officium Defunctorum", das bei der Neubindung im 18. Jahrhundert zur Gänze entnommen wurde); sonst vollständig. Kollation: i8, ii4, iii-xii8, xiii3 (statt 4), xiv-xvi8, xvii3 (statt 6: die drei letzten, weißen Bll. entnommen). Reklamenten für jede Lage, 16 Zeilen, Schriftspiegel 110:850 mm. Italienische Rotunda, Rubriken in Rot. Zahlreiche einzeilige Initialen, wechselweise in Blau bzw. Blattgold (auf weißem Bolus), 158 Blattgoldinitialen auf farblich unterschiedlich geteiltem Grund (Blau, Rot, Grün), belegt mit weißem oder gelbem Filigran. Eine fünfzeilige (21r), zwölf vierzeilige historisierte Initialen. Lederband des 18. Jhdt.s mit Deckelfileten und Resten von Schließen.. Das Stundenbuch wurde für einen Laien gefertigt, der dem Dritten Orden des hl. Franziskus nahestand. Dafür sprechen die im (nicht liturgischen) Kalender rot hervorgehobenen Feste des hl. Bernhardin von Siena und des Ordensgründers (4.10.), ferner die herausgehobene Stellung von Franziskus und Bernhardin von Siena in der Litanei (gleich hinter Benedikt), wie auch von Klara von Assisi und Elisabeth von Thüringen. Schließlich stützt ein kurz nach Fertigstellung der Handschrift auf Bl. 94v nachgetragenes Gebet, welches dem Offizium des hl. Franziskus entstammt, die Einordnung in einen solchen Kontext. - In Kalender und Litanei wird neben Franziskus überdies dreier großer Volksprediger gedacht, nämlich des Franziskaners Bernhardin von Siena, gest. 1444 (5v, 105r), des Dominikaners Vinzenz Ferrer, gest. 1419 (105r) und des Augustinereremiten Nikolaus von Tolentino, gest. 1305 (9r), wodurch das laikale Element nochmals unterstrichen wird. - Eigentümlich ist die Bebilderung der Texte, hat man doch das Marienoffizium gewöhnlich mit einem Kindheits- oder Passionszyklus ausgestattet, wobei die Verkündigung an Maria die klassische Eröffnungsszene vorstellt. Hier hingegen wurde in der ersten historisierten Initiale der heilsgeschichtlichen Bedeutung der Gottesmutter in Form eines eher abstrakten Andachtsbildes Genüge getan, um bei den nachfolgenden Gebetsstunden weitere Fürsprecher für das eigene Seelenheil bildlich Revue passieren zu lassen. Bemerkenswert ist vor allen Dingen die Auszeichnung des Hl. Michael, dem als einzigen eine fünfzeilige Initiale zugestanden wurde, während sich alle anderen Figuren in einen vierzeiligen Buchstabenkörper einfügen mußten. Über das Marienoffizium hinaus erstreckt sich die Bildlitanei noch über einen weiteren Text (59v), so daß insgesamt neun Heilige (Maria, Michael, Johannes der Evangelist, Katharina, Hieronymus, Johannes der Täufer, Antonius, Franziskus, Elisabeth) in Bildform kommemoriert werden. - Einige Bll. (vor allem das erste) stärker berieben; im Kalender die Schmuckintialen bei der Neubindung beschnitten, einige (Finger-)Flecken; im ganzen wohlerhalten.

Antoninus Florentinus, santo
|
| [Incomencia Uno Confessionale Vulgare del Reverendissimo padre beato frate Antonino arcivescovo di fiorenze de lordine de frati predicatori intitulato Specchio di conscientia].
|
[Milano, Cristoforo Valdafer, 1470-71]. "In-4° (mm 181x118). Segnatura: a-m8, n6 (i quaderni ‘m’ e ‘l’ invertiti). 102 carte non numerate. Carattere 107R su 28 linee. Spazi per iniziali, aggiunte in inchiostro rosso solo alle cc. 97-98; rubricato in rosso. Legatura moderna in pergamena con unghie. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, piccolo restauro a porzione all’angolo inferiore esterno della prima carta, alcune gore e qualche macchia d’inchiostro; alla carta f3v alcune parole cancellate in inchiostro marrone; margini sobri. Antica numerazione all’angolo superiore esterno in inchiostro marrone, parzialmente asportata da rifilatura. Antica nota manoscritta di possesso abrasa al margine inferiore della prima carta. Rarissima edizione di una delle prime edizioni incunabole del Confessionale redatto in volgare da Sant’Antonino, vescovo di Firenze, che godette di un successo vastissimo, la cui princeps era stata impressa a Colonia verso il 1468 da Ulrich Zel. La presente edizione di questo testo, di cui esistono svariate stampe realizzate in Italia negli stessi anni, che non reca alcuna nota tipografica, corrisponde per formato e partitura del testo a quella attribuita dal Gesamt Katalog, sulla base dell’analisi delle caratteristiche formali e materiali, all’attività milanese di Cristoforo Valdafer e databile al 1470-71, cioè ai primissimi anni del suo soggiorno in questa città, dopo il suo trasferimento da Venezia. Il domenicano Sant’Antonino Pierozzi, arcivescovo di Firenze dal 1446, fu uomo pratico, sensibile ai problemi sociali, desideroso di dare un significato cristiano ai nuovi fermenti umanistici, e fu tra i primi a tentare una sintesi tra diritto e teologia. I suoi scritti includono una Summa di teologia morale che godette di rilevante considerazione. Umile e arguto, zelante e benefico, fu molto amato dal popolo e si meritò già in vita l’appellativo di ‘Antonino dei consigli’. «Nel Proemio al Confessionale Curam illius habe, detto anche Confessionale volgare o Medicina dell’anima (1442), Antonino rivolgendosi ai confessori, in particolare ai sacerdoti con cura d’anime, ai vescovi, e ai “secolari”, ovvero ai laici, tracciava una sorta di gerarchia del sapere utile al cristiano, che partendo dalle SS. Scritture arrivava al Decretum, a S. Gregorio, a S. Agostino, a Catone, a Seneca e Cicerone. Era la letteratura volgare del secolo prima, quella degli scrittori fiorentini come Dante e Boccaccio ad essere maggiormente penalizzata, mentre fra i classici erano Ovidio e Terenzio, ovvero la poesia amorosa e la commedia, a non possedere i necessari requisiti per la salute delle anime. Vescovi e sacerdoti, retori e grammatici, poeti e filosofi, tutti sono messi davanti alla possibilità di prendere atto di tali requisiti reggiungibili attraverso strumenti diversi dai consueti. […] Le stesse cose predicava San Bernardino sostenitore in polemica col Salutati di un sapere strumentale e della superiorità dell’agire sul sapere. E’ indubbio, tuttavia, che la capillare diffusione del Curam illius habe, cinquantasei edizioni tra il 1472 e il 1603, avrebbe dato a questi argomenti una cassa di risonanza maggiore e duratura» (M. P. Paoli, S. Antonino «vere pastor ac bonus pastor». Storia e mito di un modello, pp. 12-13). GW 2171; BMC VI, 794; IGI 658; M. P. Paoli, S. Antonino «vere pastor ac bonus pastor». Storia e mito di un modello, in Verso Savonarola. Misticismo, profezia, empiti riformistici fra Medioevo ed Età moderna, Firenze1999, pp. 83- 139. Very rare incunable edition – probably printed in Milan by Cristophorus Valdafer around 1470-71 – that witnesses the great influence and success of this catechism written by the dominican St Antoninus, archibishop of Florence who is regarded as one of the founders of modern moral theology and Christian social ethics."

| Tanzbüchlein der Margarete von Österreich um 1470, Flandern
|
- Das Tanzbüchlein ist um 1470 in Flandern entstanden und sollte eine Gedächtnisstütze für die Tänzer bei der Ausführung der »Basses Danses«, der Bodentänze sein. Nach einer Wappenseite wird das Büchlein mit einem kurzen, theoretischen Teil eingeleitet und beinhaltet dann 59 verschiedene Tänze. Jede Seite ist mit einer goldenen Lineatur versehen, auf der die Titel der Tänze, Texte, Noten und Schrittbezeichnungen in Gold und Silber ausgeführt sind. Initialen schmücken beinahe alle Seiten. Es kann mit Recht angenommen werden, daß sich dieses Buch schon im Besitz der Gemahlin Kaiser Maximilians I., Maria von Burgund, befunden hat und von dieser an ihre Tochter Margarete, die spätere Generalstatthalterin der Niederlande, vererbt worden ist. Das Buch gelangte danach in den Besitz des spanischen Königs Philipps II. und gehörte bis zur Einverleibung in die Bibliothèque Royale zur burgundischen Bibliothek des Hauses Habsburg. Außergewöhnlich an den »Basses Danses« sind nicht nur die bestechende Kalligraphie, außergewöhnlich ist auch der Beschreibstoff. Das Tanzbüchlein gehört zu den nur sieben Handschriften auf schwarz eingefärbtem Pergament, die bis zum heutigen Tage erhalten geblieben sind. Entstehungszeit des Codex: um 1470, Flandern.

BACCIO BALDINI (FIRENZE ?
|
| IL PROFETA ELISEO 1470
|
"Bulino, circa 1470. Della serie Profeti e Sibille. Esemplare nel terzo stato di tre, con la lastra ridotta e laggiunta del numero 9 in basso a destra. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, rifilata allinterno della line del rame, manchevole di circa 3 mm per lato, strappo perfettamente restaurato, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Come per molte opere del XV secolo, gli esemplari completi dellimpronta del rame sono pratiamente introvabili. Tutto quello che si conosce su Baccio Baldini deriva dalle Vite del Vasari; allievo di Maso Finiguerra, fu orefice, niellista, incisore e disegnatore attivo a Firenze, dove muore nellincendio del 1487. La sua produzione deriva quasi per intero da disegni ed invenzioni di Sandro Botticelli. La serie dei Profeti e Sibille consta di 36 lastre, di cui dodici raffiguranti le Sibille e le restanti i principali profeti dellAntico Testamento. Lopera trae ispirazione dal testo DellAnnunciazione di Nostra Donna, 1471, dello scrittore fiorentino Feo Belcari, rappresentata con grande successo in forma teatrale in occasione della visita di Galeazzo Sforza a Firenze. I versi che si trovano nella prima edizione della serie sarebbero correlate al mistero dellAnnunciazione, in una sorta di gioco in cui due profeti ed una sibilla si alternano per svelare la nascita di Cristo. Magnifico documento di uno dei piu' famosi ed importanti gruppo di primitive incisioni. Bibliografia: Hind 1, p. 177; Bartsch 9; TIB 060 III/III; ; Early Italian Engraving from the National Gallery of Art pp. 13/25. Dimensioni 103x141." Engraving, 1470 circa. From the series Prophets and Sibyls. Example in the third state of three, with a reduced plate and number 9 on lower right. Magnificent work, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed inside the platemark line, lacking approximately 3 mm on each side, otherwise in excellent condition. Like many works of the XV century, example trimmed to platemark are unobtainable. All the news we have about Baccio Baldini derive from Vasaris Vite; scholar to Maso Finiguerra, he worked as goldsmith, specialized in niello-works, engraver and drawer. He worked in Florence until his death, during the fire of 1487. He production derives almost entirely from the drawings of Sandro Botticelli. The series Prophets and Sibyls is made of 36 plates: 12 depict the Sibyls and the others are about the Prophets. The work is inspired to the book of DallAnnunciazione di Nostra Donna, 1471, of Feo Belcari, performed on stage during the visit of Galeazzo Sforza in Florence. The lines of the first edition are apparently related to the Annunciation, a sort of game in which two prophets and a sibyl take turns to reveal the birth of Christ. Magnificent example of one of the most primitive engravings. Bibliografia: Hind 1, p. 177; Bartsch 9; TIB 060 III/III; ; Early Italian Engraving from the National Gallery of Art pp. 13/25.

Petrarca (Petrarch),
|
| Rime, In Italian Verse, Manuscript on Paper.
|
Italy (perhaps Florence): c1470 [third quarter of the fifteenth century] 282mm. by 210mm. Early foliation (ignored here) xi-xv, xxi, xvi-xvii, xix-xx, misbound, leaves should be in the order fols.1-5, 7-8, one lacking, 9-10 and 6, lacking all leaves after that. 10 leaves. Double column, c.40-44 lines, written-space c.240mm. by 175mm., written in dark brown ink in a flamboyant cursive hand, opening initials of each verse set apart into left-hand margins, some minor wear and stains in corners, generally sound, old marbled paper boards.The manuscript has the bookplate of Joseph Tasker, Middleton Hall, Essex. [Tasker had an extensive collection of English literature according to Hazlett’s ‘Roll Of Honour’. His books were sold at auction 7 March & 13 Nov. 1862 (SLS & JW) with a remainder on 22 Dec. 1868 (SW & H.) In the 1840's he published several translations of works on Spanish Treasury Bonds signing himself as “Joseph Tasker, Chairman of the Holders of Spanish Treasury Bonds.”] On the cover is a paper label identifying it as 'No. 32." The watermark is a cardinal’s hat, type of Briquet 3370 (Florence 1465-67, variants in Venice 1469, etc.). These are the Rime sparsi of Francesco Petrarca, or Petrarch (1304-1374), written in honour of Laura, the mysterious and elusive paragon whom he claimed to have first glimpsed in the church of St.Clare in Avignon in 1327. Petrarch recorded that she died in 1348. Even the poet’s own friends questioned whether Laura was a real woman or a fictional symbol of perfection. The love poems were begun in the early 1330s and were mostly completed by the mid-1350s. A final version was begun in 1366 and survives in a manuscript which is at least partly autograph (Vatican, cod. Vat.Lat. 3195). These are lyric poems of intense love, frustration, beauty and tragedy, filled with allegory, wit, self-accusation, remorse and despair. They are among the most important and moving poems of the early Renaissance. The present copy is unusual in being written in a cursive or even notarial hand. It is apparently unrecorded, and is not listed in N. Mann, Petrarch Manuscripts in the British Isles (Censimento dei codici petrarcheschi, VI), 1975. The manuscript opens on fol.1r with Rima 1, “Voi ch’ascoltate in rime sparse ilsono …”, continuing with nos.2, 3 (on the poet’s first meeting with Laura on Good Friday), 4 (on Laura’s birth), 5 (playing with the syllables of her name Lau-re-ta), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (addressed to Stefano Colonna the elder), 11, 12, 13, and so on, to the end of Rima 33 (fol.5v); the text then continues without a break on fol.7r, with Rima 34 (inviting Apollo to come to see the marvel of his lady shading herself from the sun), continuing with nos.35 (in which the cares of love exile him into the forests and mountains), 36, 37 (the heading at the top of fol.7v occurs in mid-sentence and bears no relation to the text of the poem), 38, 39, 40, and so on, to the end of Rima 48 (fol.8v); one leaf of text (166 lines) is lacking; it picks up again on fol.9r in Rima 53, line 53, and continues with nos.54, 55, 56, and so on, to Rima 70, line 13 (fol.10v), breaking off and picking up again without a break on fol.6r with Rima 70, line 14, continuing with nos.71 (on the brevity of life) and 72, to line 18 (fol.6v), all ending, “… del suo lavoro in terra”; it lacks all text after that. Petrarca or Petrarch (1304-1374) Italian scholar and poet, often considered the "first humanist".He was widely traveled and became the first great Alpinist. His famous series of poems to Laura, the Canzoniere, are still considered some of the greatest poems ever written. "Not only did this culture hero gain an ardent welcome or these ideas and practices (antiquarianism, study of elegant Latin, study of Greek, etc.), but he shaped them into a single movement that came to dominate the culture of the age: to have established the vogue and ideology of classical antiquity and humanistic studies was Petrarch's most significant achievement. In this sense he was 'the founder of the Renaissance." Wedeck & Schweitzer, Dictionary of the Renaissance.

Illuminated manuscript leaf on
|
| Illuminated miniature of the Annunciation.
|
Florence: c.1470-1480. 127 c 187 mm, verso blank. Framed. This glorious leaf is unmistakably in thestyle of Francesco di Antonio del Chierico, one of the finest Florentine illuminators of the period. Garzelli reproduces several miniatures of the Annunciation and one miniature in particular, (now in Modena, Bib. Estense, cod. lat 855f, 13v, see fig. 212 in Garzoni’s catalogue) shows several close parallels with this leaf. The style and attitude of the Virgin is especially close, as is the treatment of the window. Also, in the border, there are similarities in the figure of God the father, the urns supported by putti, and the floral motifs. Another artist, Francesco Rosselli, has also been noticed as have stylistic similarities to the central figure in this leaf in his Annunciation in Bib. Vat, barb. Lat 382, f. 15v (see Garzoni ff.536.) The arms of the Cresci family are in the lower border. See Annarosa Garzelli, Miniature Fiorentina del Rinascimento 1440-1525, Florence 1985. Cataloguing derived from the Maggs Bros. description. Full description and images available on my website.

Northern Italy (Torino diocese), 1470/1480. 120 ff. 140 x 115 mm, lacking one single leaf in quire xii (end of "Oratio S. Anselmi" before Office of the Dead, which was removed as a whole in the 18th century); otherwise complete. Collation: i8, ii4, iii-xii8, xiii3 (instead of 4), xiv-xvi8, xvii3 (instead of 6: three final blanks omitted). Vertical catchwords, 16 lines, written space 110 x 850 mm. Written in brown ink in a rounded gothic liturgical hand, rubrics in red, 13 large historiated initials, initials 4-5 lines high in burnished gold on panelled grounds, one with a one-sided illuminated border of colored leaves and flowers with tiny gold bezants. 158 two-line illuminated initials for each psalm in burnished gold on panels divided into red, green, and blue with delicate tracery in white and yellow, one-line and two-line initials throughout alternately in blue and burnished gold. 18th-c. calf with cover fillets; remains of clasps. Book of Hours written for a layman close to the Third Order of St. Francis, as suggested by red highlighting of the feasts of St. Bernardino of Siena and of the Order's founder (Oct. 4) within the (non-liturgical) calendar. The emphasis on St. Francis and St. Bernardino in the litany (they are placed immediately after St. Benedict), as that on Clara of Assisi and Elizabeth of Thuringia, and also a prayer from the Office of St. Francis, appended shortly after the completion of the ms. on fol. 94v, support this attribution. - The calendar and litany commemorate three great popular preachers besides St. Francis, namely the Franciscan Bernardino of Siena, d. 1444 (5v, 105r), the Dominican Vincent Ferrer, d. 1419 (105r), and the Augustinian Hermit Nicholas of Tolentino, d. 1305 (9r), a fact that underlines the lay element of the manuscript. - The illumination of the text is remarkable: while the Office of the Virgin is usually illustrated by a childhood or passion cycle (the Annunciation classically forming the opening scene), the first historiated initial here contains a rather abstract devotional picture of Mary, serving as an obligatory bow to the Virgin's eschatological importance; the following hours, however, invoke a series of additional advocates for the reader's salvation. Especially noteworthy is the distinction awarded to St. Michael, who occupies the only five-line initial, while all the other figures are fitted within four-line characters. The illustrated litany extends beyond the Office of the Virgin to another text (59v), so that a total of nine saints (Mary, Michael, John the Evangelist, Catharine, Jerome, John the Baptist, Anthony, Francis, Elizabeth) are commemorated in illuminations. - Some leaves (including the first) rather rubbed; decorative initials within calendar trimmed during rebinding; a few smudges and small stains, but mostly sound.
