First and only edition of the only published instalment of a work on French botany by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778-1841). Candolle was a well-known botanist, author of the famous Liliaceae. He undertook botanical expeditions already at the age of 14. Growing up Candolle became acquainted with important natural scientists and botanists, such as Jean Pierre Vaucher and Horace-Bénédict de Saussure. He lived in Paris from 1800 until 1808, when he was called to Montpellier to the chair of botany at the École de Médecine and the Faculté de Sciences. In 1816 he accepted a chair in natural history in Geneva. Candolle is the author of nearly 180 memoirs and other works, and at his death he left some forty unfinished manuscripts. "The world's botanists have shown their admiration of and gratitude to the Genevan naturalist by dedicating more than 300 plants to his memory: one family (Candolleaceae) and two genera (Candollea and Candollina) have been named for him" (DSB). Engraved armorial bookplate of Count Goblet d'Alviella. Very good copy, upper right corner of last 30 plates sl. dam. not approaching the printed image, last leaf backed with paper.

The set of types they used (Typ.1:120R) is said to have been the first Roman type, and later, the Ashendene Press printed books using an imitation of this typeface. Their work also influenced William Morris. Sweynheym and Pannartz moved to Rome in 1467, and by 1475 they had printed 50 works using a new Roman type. They intended, according to their own list of publications, that the above work was bound after Silius Italicus. Punica (5 April, 1471), 165 leaves, and followed by Hesiod. Opera, 12 leaves, making 194 ununumbered leaves in all. Provenance: The inscription on the endpaper is that of Cuthbert Hamilton Turner, Magdelen College, Oxford, 925. Turner, ecclesiastical historian and New Testament scholar, 1860-1930, spent his mature life in Oxford as a research fellow. The bookplate (by Emery Walker), is that of John Waynflete Carter, who also inscribed it, at the foot of the endpaper, with a note, in Latin, stating that the book was bought from Blackwell’s and bound by Maltby’s. This is John Carter, the well-known bibliographer and bookseller, 1905-1975. In addition there is a note which explains how the work was issued by Sweynheym and Pannartz.

CORNELIUS NEPOS
|
| Vitae imperatorum. Venice, Nicolaus Jenson, 8 March
|
4to. 263 x 186mm. 53 (last blank) ff. (of 54, lacking first blank). Roman type, 32 lines (184 x 105mm.), capital spaces. Early 18th century English red morocco bound for Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke, covers with gilt border of dentelles and fleurons at the corners, spine richly gilt in compartments, paper label at foot of spine, gilt edges (joints rubbed). 1471. The Pembroke Copy of the first edition of the Roman historian and biographer Cornelius Nepos' Vitae, an early Jenson printing in his "perfect" roman type. "The Roman type employed by Jenson is the most beautiful ever cut and with him printing suddenly attained its perfection just five years after the introduction of that art into Italy. His books have served as an inspiration and a model to most of the fine presses established in England and elsewhere during the period of the revival of typography as an art, from the 1890's onwards." (The Italian Book 1465-1900, Catalogue of an exhibition, National Book League, 1953, no. 8).Published, as usual, under the name of Aemilius Probus this surviving fragment of Nepos' work contains 25 lives in all, mostly of Greek generals such as Themistocles, Miltiades, Epaminondas and Pausanias, but also including Hannibal and Hamilcar.The Earls of Pembroke were patrons of learning and the arts for several generations. However, the choicer and more important part of the library was acquired mainly by Thomas Herbert, eighth Earl of Pembroke (1656-1733). He held high office in various capacities - for example, Lord Privy Seal and First Lord of the Admiralty - and was associated in politics with two other famous bibliophiles, Robert Harley, Earl of Oxford, and Charles Spencer, Earl of Sunderland. His son, Henry, the ninth Earl, though chiefly interested in architecture, also added to the library with works in that field and in numismatics.The Pembroke library, "hardly contained anything but incunabula, selected with great judgement and an obvious desire to combine the earliest monuments of typography with the first editions of the classics" (De Ricci, English Collectors, (1930), pp. 40-41). De Ricci also notes (p. 33) that Thomas Herbert along with Robert Harley, Charles Spencer and William, second Duke of Devonshire, "are the first great collectors of early-printed books, not only in England but in Europe, for the first time in history, large sums of money were expended on the gathering of incunabula and, to the present day, we are still to a certain extent dependent on the admirable stores accumulated by these wealthy pioneers".Provenance:1.) Unidentified 16th? century ink ownership inscription at foot of first page, rubbed out, a few marginal annotations in an early hand. 2.) Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke, with a Pembroke binding and shelf-mark "Kc.7.", and paper shelf-label at foot of spine with call no. "Gg 4o", sold at Sotheby's 25 June 1914, lot 72, £85 to Quaritch (pencil collation note by F.S. Ferguson dated 2 July 1914). 3.) C.S. Ascherson with his printed label inside back-cover. 4.)

"Description : [in folio] - leaves [80] with woodcut illustrations.Collation : A-E6 , F4, G-N6, O4Note : missing O[4] last blank leaf. Albrecht Dürer (May 21, 1471 – April 6, 1528) German painter and engraver. He was born and died in Nuremberg. Dürer is best known in art history as one of the outstanding creators of old master print. His printed works were often executed in series, including the Apocalypse (1498) and his two series on the passion of Christ, the Great Passion (1498–1510) and the Little Passion (1510–1511). Dürer's best known individual engravings include Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and speculation. His most iconic images are his woodcuts of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1497–1498) from the Apocalypse series, the ""Rhinoceros"", and numerous self-portraits in oils. The artist probably did not cut his own woodblocks but employed a skilled carver who followed his drawings faithfully. Durer’s artworks earned his author considerable reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded among the greatest artist of the Renaissance in Northern Europe ever since. His work reflected the spirit of his time, when social and religious upheaval were common. He was sympathetic to the reform work of Martin Luther, who at Dürer's death wrote to a friend, ""Affection bids us mourn for one who was the best’Despite complaining of his lack of formal education, especially in the classical languages, Dürer was greatly interested in intellectual matters, and learned much from his great friend Willibald Pirckheimer, whom he no doubt consulted on the content of many of his images. He also derived great satisfaction from his friendship and correspondence with Erasmus from Rotterdam and other contemporary scholars. Dürer succeeded in finishing and producing two books during his lifetime. One on geometry and perspective, The Painter's Manual (more literally, the Instructions on Measurement) was published at Nuremberg in 1525 and it is the first book to be published on mathematics in German. His work on fortification was published in 1527, and his work on human proportion of which the present copy is the first latin edition was brought out in four volumes shortly after his death at the age of fifty-six, in 1528 in german language and translated and 4 years in latin between 1532 ( first 2 parts) and 1534 ( third and fourth part) by Joannis Camerarius .Dürer’s reputation spread throughout Europe already during his lifetime, well beyond his native city of Nuremberg, a thriving center of trade and culture. Like Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer became deeply involved in scientific and mathematical studies; his application of scientific principles to the creation of art marks the beginning of art theory in Northern Europe and Germany particularly. This rare volume includes the first two books of Dürer’s De Symmetria Partium in Rectis Formis Humanorum Corporum (Books on the normal proportions of the parts of the human form), it is the first latin edition by Joachim Camerarius (1500-1574) of the Von menschlicher Proportion. It will be only 2 years later in 1534 that the following 2 books titled De varietate figurarum et flexuris partium will separately appear by the same printer. Dürer’s beautifully illustrated study of the measurements and proportions of the human form is a pioneering work in scientific illustration containing a large number of wonderfully carved full pages woodcuts of the human body in its entirety and in different positions, with a whole array of different projection schemes for measuring human proportions. Dürer’s intriguing designs had definitely a major impact on Northern Renaissance art. A modern reader may find it difficult to see how the decision to originally write and publish this books in German was a problem for Renaissance humanists. Yet even Erasmus qualified his praise of Underweysung der Messung adding the observation that the otherwise excellent book was written in the vernacular. Indeed Camerarius’ Latin edition, illustrated using the original woodblocks of the german edition, laid the foundations for the international reception of Dürer’s writings and delivered its original message to the general audience of artists, scholars and scientists of the time outside the boundaries of Germany.Attractive copy in overall good antiquarian condition of this very rare work, late mute paperboard binding, a few internal marginal defects including old reparations at marginal tears on the lower margins at leaves N3, N4 and N[5] and a restoration to integrate the lower right end corner worn out due to use on titlepage for about one centimeter, a few marginal contemporary notes in black ink, and some stains, the last blank leaf of the last gathering o[4] is missing as reported in note of the physical description, for the rest a nice copy of this very rare and important book.FIRST LATIN EDITIONEXTREMELY RARE Cfr.: Graesse, II, 452; Wellcome, II,1920 ; Bohatta, 28.

"Description : [in folio] - leaves [80] with woodcut illustrations.Collation : A-E6 , F4, G-N6, O4Note : missing O[4] last blank leaf. Albrecht Dürer (May 21, 1471 – April 6, 1528) German painter and engraver. He was born and died in Nuremberg. Dürer is best known in art history as one of the outstanding creators of old master print. His printed works were often executed in series, including the Apocalypse (1498) and his two series on the passion of Christ, the Great Passion (1498–1510) and the Little Passion (1510–1511). Dürer's best known individual engravings include Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and speculation. His most iconic images are his woodcuts of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1497–1498) from the Apocalypse series, the ""Rhinoceros"", and numerous self-portraits in oils. The artist probably did not cut his own woodblocks but employed a skilled carver who followed his drawings faithfully. Durer’s artworks earned his author considerable reputation across Europe when he was still in his twenties, and he has been conventionally regarded among the greatest artist of the Renaissance in Northern Europe ever since. His work reflected the spirit of his time, when social and religious upheaval were common. He was sympathetic to the reform work of Martin Luther, who at Dürer's death wrote to a friend, ""Affection bids us mourn for one who was the best’Despite complaining of his lack of formal education, especially in the classical languages, Dürer was greatly interested in intellectual matters, and learned much from his great friend Willibald Pirckheimer, whom he no doubt consulted on the content of many of his images. He also derived great satisfaction from his friendship and correspondence with Erasmus from Rotterdam and other contemporary scholars. Dürer succeeded in finishing and producing two books during his lifetime. One on geometry and perspective, The Painter's Manual (more literally, the Instructions on Measurement) was published at Nuremberg in 1525 and it is the first book to be published on mathematics in German. His work on fortification was published in 1527, and his work on human proportion of which the present copy is the first latin edition was brought out in four volumes shortly after his death at the age of fifty-six, in 1528 in german language and translated and 4 years in latin between 1532 ( first 2 parts) and 1534 ( third and fourth part) by Joannis Camerarius .Dürer’s reputation spread throughout Europe already during his lifetime, well beyond his native city of Nuremberg, a thriving center of trade and culture. Like Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer became deeply involved in scientific and mathematical studies; his application of scientific principles to the creation of art marks the beginning of art theory in Northern Europe and Germany particularly. This rare volume includes the first two books of Dürer’s De Symmetria Partium in Rectis Formis Humanorum Corporum (Books on the normal proportions of the parts of the human form), it is the first latin edition by Joachim Camerarius (1500-1574) of the Von menschlicher Proportion. It will be only 2 years later in 1534 that the following 2 books titled De varietate figurarum et flexuris partium will separately appear by the same printer. Dürer’s beautifully illustrated study of the measurements and proportions of the human form is a pioneering work in scientific illustration containing a large number of wonderfully carved full pages woodcuts of the human body in its entirety and in different positions, with a whole array of different projection schemes for measuring human proportions. Dürer’s intriguing designs had definitely a major impact on Northern Renaissance art. A modern reader may find it difficult to see how the decision to originally write and publish this books in German was a problem for Renaissance humanists. Yet even Erasmus qualified his praise of Underweysung der Messung adding the observation that the otherwise excellent book was written in the vernacular. Indeed Camerarius’ Latin edition, illustrated using the original woodblocks of the german edition, laid the foundations for the international reception of Dürer’s writings and delivered its original message to the general audience of artists, scholars and scientists of the time outside the boundaries of Germany.Attractive copy in overall good antiquarian condition of this very rare work, late mute paperboard binding, a few internal marginal defects including old reparations at marginal tears on the lower margins at leaves N3, N4 and N[5] and a restoration to integrate the lower right end corner worn out due to use on titlepage for about one centimeter, a few marginal contemporary notes in black ink, and some stains, the last blank leaf of the last gathering o[4] is missing as reported in note of the physical description, for the rest a nice copy of this very rare and important book.FIRST LATIN EDITIONEXTREMELY RARE Cfr.: Graesse, II, 452; Wellcome, II,1920 ; Bohatta, 28.

The set of types they used (Typ.1:120R) is said to have been the first Roman type, and later, Ashendene Press printed books using an imitation of this typeface. Their work also influenced William Morris. Sweynheym and Pannartz moved to Rome in 1467, and by 1475 they had printed 50 works using a new Roman type. They intended, according to their own list of publications, that the above work was bound after Silius Italicus. Punica (5 April, 1471), 165 leaves, and followed by Hesiod.

Turner, ecclesiastical historian and New Testament scholar, 1860-1930, spent his mature life in Oxford as a research fellow. The bookplate (by Emery Walker), is that of John Waynflete Carter, who also inscribed it, at the foot of the endpaper, with a note, in Latin, stating that the book was bought from Blackwell’s and bound by Maltby’s. This is John Carter, the well-known bibliographer and bookseller, 1905-1975. In addition there is a note which explains what how the work was issued by Sweynheym and Pannartz.

The Pembroke library, "hardly contained anything but incunabula, selected with great judgement and an obvious desire to combine the earliest monuments of typography with the first editions of the classics" (De Ricci, English Collectors, (1930), pp. 40-41). De Ricci also notes (p. 33) that Thomas Herbert along with Robert Harley, Charles Spencer and William, second Duke of Devonshire, "are the first great collectors of early-printed books, not only in England but in Europe, for the first time in history, large sums of money were expended on the gathering of incunabula and, to the present day, we are still to a certain extent dependent on the admirable stores accumulated by these wealthy pioneers".
