(JOHANNES GUALLENSIS [Gallensis,
|
| (Summa collectionum aut communiloquium)
|
(Ulm, Johann Zainer [d.Ä.]) 1[4]81. Im Kolophon steht irrtümlich "1281".. Gr.-4°. (12) Bll.; (1) Bl. (weiß); (174) Bll.; (1) Bl. (weiß). [* - ** 6; a - y 8]. Die ersten vier Lagen nach dem Register in Rot rubriziert und mit eingemalten roten Initialen. Letztes Bl. recto mit gemaltem Besitzer-Wappen. Blindgeprägtes Kalbsleder d. Zt. über Holzdeckeln mit ziemlicher Sicherheit aus der Werkstatt des Augsburger Binders Jörg Schapf (leicht berieben und bestoßen [Ecken, Kanten etwas stärker, Seiten der Bünde stark bestoßen, tls. mit kleiner Bezugsfehlstelle], Gelenke fachmännisch restauriert); zwei intakte originale Schließen mit aufgeprägtem Monogramm "man"). Vierte Ausgabe. Johann Zainer (d.Ä.), der Erstdrucker von Ulm, wahrscheinlich der Bruder des Augsburger Druckers Günther Zainer, hat - wie dieser auch - das Druckerhandwerk in Straßburg bei Mentelin gelernt. Sein erster Druck stammt wohl von 1473, und seine Anfangsjahre sind geprägt von der Zusammenarbeit mit Heinrich Steinhöwel. Die Blüte seiner Offizin dauerte jedoch nur ca. 12 Jahre; 1487 war er schon hoch verschuldet, 1493 musste er deswegen Ulm verlassen. Ab 1496 wird in der Johann-Zainersche Offizin in Ulm die Arbeit wieder aufgenommen, aber in der Fachliteratur besteht keine Einigkeit darüber, von wem: von Johann Zainer selbst (so u.a. Geldner) oder von seinem gleichnamigen Sohn (so schon Wegener und neuerdings GW und Amelung). Biografisches ist über Johannes Gallensis nur wenig bekannt: geb. zwischen 1210 und 1230, walisischer Herkunft; gest. wahrscheinlich 1285 in Paris. 1257 kommt er zu den Franziskanern nach Oxford und lehrt ab 1258 im Rahmen des dortigen Ordensstudiums. 1281 bis 1283 ist er an der Universität von Paris tätig; in dieser Zeit wird er auf eine diplomatische Mission nach Wales vom Erzbischof von Canterbury gesandt. "Durch seine Kompilationen, ohne systematischen Anspruch, bemühte sich J.G., den Predigern seiner Zeit Material, vor allem solches von antiken Schriftstellern, zur moralischen Erbauung ihrer Zuhörer an die Hand zu geben, sie selbst aber mit den Normen für ihr Verhalten und mit ihren Pflichten vertraut zu machen." (BBKL III, Sp. 287). Umstritten ist eine Stelle im communiloquium, in der das Ende eines Schachspiels mit dem Lebensende verglichen wird: "Die Welt gleiche einem Brett mit weißen und schwarzen Feldern, auf denen die Menschen als Schachpuppen verschiedene Plätze einnehmen. Früh holt man die Figuren ... aus einem Sack hervor ... nach vollendetem Spiel wartet aber Aller, ungeachtet ihrer verschiedenen Stellung im Leben und im Spiele, der nämliche Ort. Und wie der König dabei wohl zuunterst im Beutel zu liegen komme, so könnten auch die Großen der Erde zur Hölle, die Armen aber in den Himmel gelangen. Auf dem Brett des Lebens spielt der Teufel mit dem Menschen und sagt ihm Schach , wer sich dann nicht schnell bekehrt, dessen Seele wird mit Matt geraubt". (J. Seifert, Schachphilosophie, 1989, S. 117). In zwei Inkunabelausgaben ist sie enthalten, in den beiden anderen - wie in unserer - nicht; so wird sie auch als Interpolation gesehen. Die Zuweisung des ausgezeichnet erhaltenen Einbandes an Jörg Schapf aus Augsburg ist gut fundamentiert: Die Deckelaufteilung entspricht der bei Kyriss 63 abgebildeten, alle Stempel sind in der Einbanddatenbank der Staatsbibliothek Berlin unter diesem Binder aufgelistet. Auf dem Vorderdeckel folgt auf einen schmalen Rand ein Rahmen mit Rosettenstempeln,sechsblättrig, Blätter breit und gebuchtet, umrandet im Quadrat (so weder bei S-S noch in EBDB). In dem inneren großen Rechteck findet sich Rautengerank (EBDB s002566 / S-S Rautengerank 137), in dessen inneren Feldern ein Stempel "Staude mit Krause" (EBDB s002561/ S-S Blattwerk 370). Der Rückendeckel trägt das gleiche Rautengerank mit Staude, der Rahmen darum ist mit Kopfstempeln besetzt (EBDB s002555 / S-S Kopfstempel 29) - laut v. Rabenau ein für Schapf typisches Dekor (S-S II, S. 9). Auf dem Rücken wiederholen sich die Kopfstempel des Rautengeranks. Ein sehr breitrandiges Exemplar: eine Reihe von Temoins sind sichtbar. Schwach gebräunt und gering fingerfleckig (Vorsätze und Spiegel stärker). Vorderer Vorsatz verso mit alter handschr. Bibliothekssignatur, Bl. y8 recto über dem eingemalten Wappen der Besitzereintrag: "Johannes Weydenhuser possessor huius libri". Ein ungewöhnlich gut erhaltenes Exemplar im originalen Zustand. Einbände von J. Schapf sind auch in großen Sammlungen selten: weder bei v. Arnim noch bei Goldschmidt ist einer aufgeführt. H 7443; GKW (online-Katalog) M13990; Wegener (Zainer) 11; BMC II 527; BSB-InkI-576; Scholderer (Vallensis) S. 77..

Franz Renner et Nicolas de Francfort, Venise 1473 - In-folio et in-4, sans pagination ni réclame. 282 feuillets sur 286. L'exemplaire est revêtu de sa première reliure, se composant d'un fragment d'ais de bois avec ses ligatures. Le plat inférieur, recouvert de veau, est orné de compartiments en losanges en à froid, traces de fermoirs. L'exemplaire est très large de marge afin de laisser une place à la glose. Impression sur 2 colonnes avec une moyenne de 42 lignes par colonne, dans une petite gothique allemande. Grandes et petites initiales peintes au minium, avec parfois un travail de plume en marge. Les numéros des chapitres sont peints dans la marge supérieure. Il est intéressant de noter que cet ouvrage n'a jamais été restauré, comme nous l'indique une étiquette du XVIIè s collée sur les ficelles du dos. Il manque à cet exemplaire la page de titre, des fragments des 2 premières pages avec perte de texte, un feuillet liminaire à la fin de la table qui se trouve en début de volume, et peut-être un dernier feuillet (blanc ?) après le colophon. L'impression fut introduite à Venise en 1469 par Jean Wendelin. Franz Renner y installe ses presses en 1471. Il n'est que le sixième imprimeur à s'installer dans la ville de Venise. Il produit seul 4 titres, puis s'associe en 1473 à Nicolas de Francfort, avec lequel il édite 13 ouvrages, dont celui-ci. A la fin de cette association, il poursuit son activité avec Petrus de Bartua durant un an (1477-1478), puis termine seul jusqu'en 1483, date probable de sa mort.

| SITU ORBIS TERRARUM ET MEMORABILIBUS QUAE MUNDI AMBITU CONTINENTUR LIBER
|
Venetiis Nicolaus Jenson 1473 - Very Rare First Edition., the Editio Princeps. Printed with the Roman type designed by Jenson. The typography used for this important book is so beautiful and so basically correct that it has served as a model for all those typographical artists who have thoguht to carry on this tradition. Folio (278 x 180 mm), handsomely bound in 18th century green morocco, the covers with triple gilt fillet lines at the borders, the spine with raised bands, the compartments decorated with elaborately gilt panes with central ornamental tools, two morocco lettering labels gilt, gilt edges, marbled endleaves. 68 leaves (136 pp.) In a pleasing binding and a highly important rare survival, the binding remains in very sound and attractive state, lower outside corner of the first leaf skillfully repaired, interesting manuscript notations and emendations throughout, this copy washed in the 18th century when it was bound. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. SolinusÕs work, also called ÒCollectanea Rerum MemorabiliumÓ is a compendium of curiosities and wonders of the ancient world, with remarks on geographical, historical, social, religious and natural history questioins. The greatest part of this instances is taken from PlinyÕs Ònatural HistoryÓ and Pomponius Mela. Solinus is the only ancient writer who mentions the English Isle of Thanet. This text exerted a great influence during the Midle Ages, most notably upon Isidore of Seville and Brunetto Latini. Julius Solinus (fl. 250 AD), surnamed Polyhistor, or "Teller of Varied TalesÓ, Latin grammarian and compiler, proably flourished during the first half of the 3rd century A.D. He provided the standard source of geographic myth during all the years of the ÒGreat InterruptionÓ, from the fourth till the fourteenth centuries. It is doubtful if anyone else over so long a period has ever influenced geography "so profoundly or so mischievously." Solinus' work had wide appeal. Saint Augustine himself drew on Solinus', as did all the other leading Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages.Ê The stories and fabulous images that Solinus retailed enlivened Christian maps right down to the Age of Discovery. They became an all- encompassing network of fantasy, replacing the forgotten rational gridwork of latitude and longitude, which had been Ptolemy's legacy. Solinus found wonders near and far. From Italy he reported people who sacrificed to Apollo by dancing barefoot on burning coals, pythons that grew long and fat by feeding on the udders of milk cows, and lynxes whose urine congealed to "the hardness of precious stone, having magnetic powers and the color of amber." Grasshoppers and crickets in Rhegium still dared make no sound because Hercules, irritated by their noise, had once ordered them to keep silent. Further afield were the dog-headed Simeans of Ethiopia, ruled by a dog-king. Along the Ethiopian coast were peoples with four eyes, while along the Niger were ants as big as mastiffs. In Germany there was a mule-like creature with such a long upper lip that "he cannot feed except walking backward." Human monstrosities that were normal in remote parts of the world included tribes who had their eight-toed feet turned backwards, men with dogs' heads and talons for fingers who "barked for speech," people who had only one leg, but with a foot so large that it protected them from the hot sun by serving as a parasol. History of Science As to Jenson--Ò.(A)mong the early Venietian printers the most important was certainly Nicholas Jenson. A Frenchman by birth, he passed his apprenticeship in the Paris Mint, and became afterwards the head of the Mint at Tours. In 1458, in consequence of the stories of the inventi [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

[DICTIONARY]
|
| Vocabularius rerum [in Latin and German].
|
[Augsburg, Günther Zainer, 1473-74] Folio (290 x 208 mm), ff 138, gothic letter, large woodcut initial at beginning of text, painted in red, some underlining and initial strokes supplied in red; leaves numbered in MS with cross-references in the index, occasional MS annotations, a very fresh, large copy, with many deckle edges, pastiche binding ca 1900 of wooden boards and blind-stamped calf spine. £40,000
First edition, extremely rare, of the first printed technical dictionary, and, after the Vocabularius ex quo, the first dictionary to employ two languages. This work is devoted entirely to technical terms, each with its own section, of medicine (four sections), culinary and medicinal herbs and food plants, zoology, mining and mineralogy, navigation, architecture, textiles, tanning and leather work, musical instruments, books and book production, cooking and kitchen utensils, baking, wine and viticulture, gambling, carpentry, horses and carriages, etc.
'Some of the words are highly technical, lexicographical rarities. In the section on scribes and book production we find definitions not only of the traditional scribal tools (calamus, stilus, graphius, pugillaris, etc.), but also of such specialist words as antipira (= the scribe's eye-shade, for protection against the fire or candle-light), corrosorium (= the mill or grinder to reduce chalk to a powder for the preparation of vellum), and epicausterium (= the table-cloth on which the parchment is laid for ease of writing). None of these last words occurs, for example, in Karen Gould's "Terms for Book Production in a Fifteenth-Century Latin-English Nominale", The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, 79 (1985), pp. 75-99. There is also an entry on the distinction between the words liber, volumen, and codex; likewise between exemplar and exemplum.' (Nicholas Poole-Wilson).
A large part of the work is devoted to medicine, including anatomical terms, surgical terms and instruments, diseases and their definitions, etc. There are also extensive lists of plants, including culinary, horticultual, and medicinal plants.
'Possessed of a knowledge of names rather than of things, the mediaeval student had one urgent need - a dictionary. New words began to pour in - in Arabic, Syriac, Hebrew, and Greek - whose meanings he sought to know; and, for the medical student, there were new drugs, the composition and uses of which were essential to his practice. It is not surprising then to find books of the dictionary class among the first to be printed... The Vocabularius, a Latin-German dictiionary from the press of Günther Zainer, Augsburg, about 1473, has four sections devoted to medicine: (1) De homine et de diversis membris, in which the parts of the body are defined in order, with the German equivalents; brief references to authors are given. (2) De nominibus balneatorum etc., containing all the terms relating to bathing, bleeding, and cupping. (3) De medicis et eorum que pertinent ad medicine artes. The definitions here are most interesting... Siringa is described as a metallic instrument with which a surgeon injects resolving medicines into the Virile member in order to dissolve calculi in the bladder. (4) De nominibus quorundam egritudinum, contains seven and a half folios of definitions of diseases.' (Osler, Incunabula medica).
This work is very rare, no copy having appeared at auction in Britain or America for over twenty-five years.

| Manuscript Illumination in Lyons, 1473-1530 (Ars Nova 3)
|
Brepols Publishers. New In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, Lyons grew into one of Europe's great commercial centres and even served as an unofficial second capital of the French kingdom. While scholars have long recognized the city's prominent role in the history of printing, this is the first book to survey the art of manuscript illumination after the introduction of printing to Lyons in 1473. Using the manuscripts themselves as its main source, this study identifies and assesses the art of Lyons's busiest illuminators' workshops. It then reviews the nature of patronage and the activities of the illuminators during the close of the Middle Ages and the dawn of the Renaissance. The picture that emerges is one of a tightly knit community of artists adapting their production of fine religious and secular manuscripts to the changing demand of the clergy, the merchant class, the nobility, writers, and members of the court. A descriptive catalogue provides complementary information on 136 illuminated manuscripts, books, and leaves, many of them never published at length. The work is illustrated by a broad selection of colour and black-and-white reproductions. ISBN10: 2503512321.

"Mendis sanè quamplurimis summa diligentia repurgatae". "Adiectis passim ad marginem, tam Bibliorumquàm Iuris Civilis concordantiis". Testo latino. Cm.16,4x10,7. Pg.56 non numerate, 824 numerate solo al recto. Legatura in piena pergamena, con lievi spellature. Alcuni capilettera incisi. Si tratta di una delle edizioni a stampa cinquecentesche dei celebri Decreti di Papa Gregorio IX, al secolo Ugolino dei Conti Segni, salito al soglio pontificio il 19 marzo 1227 come successore di Onorio III. Fiero avversario di Federico II, a lui si deve l'istituzione, nel 1232, del Tribunale dell'Inquisizione. Il testo dei "Decretales", in cinque libri, fu fatto compilare dal suo cappellano Ramon De Penaforte, e inviato il 5 settembre 1234 alla Università di Bologna: conteneva i principi fondamentali del diritto canonico medioevale e come tale fu poi inserito nel Corpus Iuris Canonici fino alla riforma di Benedetrto XV. La prima edizione a stampa fu edita a Mayence nel 1473. > Sapori, I, 778-782, cita altre edizioni cinquecentesche.

Der Inkunabelkatalog (INKA) gibt an, dass das Werk möglicherweise auch im Kloster St. Ulrich und Afra gedruckt worden sein kann. Der Holzschnitt zeigt den, mit den Schriftgelehrten diskutierenden Knaben Jesus. Diese für den deutschen Sprachraum ungewohnte pädagogische Freiheit der offenen Diskussion, wird noch heute in der Redewendung "Das ist ja so laut, wie in der Judenschule" deutlich. Auch für den Holzschneider war ein mit Lehrern diskutierender Knabe nicht im Bereich ihrer Alltagserfahrung und sie stellten deshalb den Knaben Jesu als Lehrenden und Erhöhten dar. Die Textstelle im Neuen Testament lautet jedoch: "Nach drei Tagen fanden sie (seine Eltern) ihn im Tempel. Er saß mitten unter den Lehrern, hörte ihnen zu und stellten Fragen an sie. " (Lk. 2, 46).

GREGORY I , Saint, Pope
|
| Homiliae super Evangeliis. [Augsburg, Günther Zainer], 28 August
|
First two initials in red and blue pasted over spaces.Folio. (303 x 205mm.) [142]ff. 33 lines, gothic letter. Early 19th century calf, possibly by C. Lewis, triple gilt fillet on covers, spine gilt in compartments, black morocco labels. 1473. First edition of the Homilies on the Gospels by Pope Gregory I which were among the most widely read and venerated texts of the Middle Ages. They were delivered to the people of Rome in 590-591 soon after his election to the papacy and represent his only surviving liturgical teaching. Unlike his other works which were delivered to monastic audiences, the Homilies on the Gospels are pastoral talks which he made more direct and less allegorical, with numerous examples drawn from life, so that the text also preserves significant anecdotes about Gregory himself, and the times he lived in. The work was enormously popular in the Middle Ages, and survives in over 400 manuscripts.Printed in Gunther Zainer's square heavy type, which the printer had begun to use from 1470. Gunther Zainer was the first printer in Augsburg; he was a native of Reurlingen and completed his first book at Augsburg on 12 March 1468. His press remained active until 1477, although he himself appears to have given up the business in 1475, and retired to the Buxheim Charterhouse where he died on 13 April 1478.Provenance.

| SITU ORBIS TERRARUM ET MEMORABILIBUS QUAE MUNDI AMBITU CONTINENTUR LIBER
|
(Venetiis: Nicolaus Jenson, 1473) Very Rare First Edition., the Editio Princeps. Printed with the Roman type designed by Jenson. The typography used for this important book is so beautiful and so basically correct that it has served as a model for all those typographical artists who have thoguht to carry on this tradition. Folio (278 x 180 mm), handsomely bound in 18th century green morocco, the covers with triple gilt fillet lines at the borders, the spine with raised bands, the compartments decorated with elaborately gilt panes with central ornamental tools, two morocco lettering labels gilt, gilt edges, marbled endleaves. 68 leaves (136 pp.) In a pleasing binding and a highly important rare survival, the binding remains in very sound and attractive state, lower outside corner of the first leaf skillfully repaired, interesting manuscript notations and emendations throughout, this copy washed in the 18th century when it was bound. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. SolinusÕs work, also called ÒCollectanea Rerum MemorabiliumÓ is a compendium of curiosities and wonders of the ancient world, with remarks on geographical, historical, social, religious and natural history questioins. The greatest part of this instances is taken from PlinyÕs Ònatural HistoryÓ and Pomponius Mela. Solinus is the only ancient writer who mentions the English Isle of Thanet. This text exerted a great influence during the Midle Ages, most notably upon Isidore of Seville and Brunetto Latini. Julius Solinus (fl. 250 AD), surnamed Polyhistor, or "Teller of Varied TalesÓ, Latin grammarian and compiler, proably flourished during the first half of the 3rd century A.D. He provided the standard source of geographic myth during all the years of the ÒGreat InterruptionÓ, from the fourth till the fourteenth centuries. It is doubtful if anyone else over so long a period has ever influenced geography "so profoundly or so mischievously." Solinus' work had wide appeal. Saint Augustine himself drew on Solinus', as did all the other leading Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages.Ê The stories and fabulous images that Solinus retailed enlivened Christian maps right down to the Age of Discovery. They became an all- encompassing network of fantasy, replacing the forgotten rational gridwork of latitude and longitude, which had been Ptolemy's legacy. Solinus found wonders near and far. From Italy he reported people who sacrificed to Apollo by dancing barefoot on burning coals, pythons that grew long and fat by feeding on the udders of milk cows, and lynxes whose urine congealed to "the hardness of precious stone, having magnetic powers and the color of amber." Grasshoppers and crickets in Rhegium still dared make no sound because Hercules, irritated by their noise, had once ordered them to keep silent. Further afield were the dog-headed Simeans of Ethiopia, ruled by a dog-king. Along the Ethiopian coast were peoples with four eyes, while along the Niger were ants as big as mastiffs. In Germany there was a mule-like creature with such a long upper lip that "he cannot feed except walking backward." Human monstrosities that were normal in remote parts of the world included tribes who had their eight-toed feet turned backwards, men with dogs' heads and talons for fingers who "barked for speech," people who had only one leg, but with a foot so large that it protected them from the hot sun by serving as a parasol. History of Science As to Jenson--Ò...(A)mong the early Venietian printers the most important was certainly Nicholas Jenson. A Frenchman by birth, he passed his apprenticeship in the Paris Mint, and became afterwards the head of the Mint at Tours. In 1458, in consequence of the stories of the invention of printing, he was sent by Charles VII to Mainz to learn the art, and introduce it into France. Jenson returned in 1461, when Louis XI had just been crowned; but he does not seem to have settled in France, and we first hear of him again in 1470 as a printer at Venice. From 1470 to 1480 he printed continuously, issuing, according to Sardini, at least one hundred and fifty five editions, though this number must be considerably under the mark. His will was drawn up on the 7th September 1480, and he died in the same month....In 1474 he began to use Gothic type (after a crisis in the printing and book trades during which Jenson developed the new type and began to use it in a significant way in his printing of a number of the most important law-texts)...and in 1471, in the EPISTOLAE FAMILIARES, he used Greek type in the quotations, the first instance of its employment in Venice.Ó Duff, Early Printed Books ...The COLOGNE CHRONICLE in 1499 made reference to Jenson in the following passage: -- ÒOne named Omnibonus wrote in a preface to the book called QUINCTILIANUS, and in some other books too, that a Walloon from France, named Nicol. Jenson, discovered first of all this masterly art (printing)...Ó While it is now agreed that the art was first discovered in Mainz by Gutenberg, JensonÕs importance to the discovery and scientific advancement of printing cannot be overstated. He is one of the most important players in the development of the extraordinary art of printing which allowed the Rennaissance to flower. Ò His type has great clarity and liveliness, and at the same time an element of divine repose. The Jenson types are part of the same Renaissance glory that gave the world the supremely beautiful written letters of the humanistic scribes.Ó (Blumenthal) His cutting of types in Venice made the city a centre of the art for the centuries that followed.

|
Quatrième édition du premier ouvrage de pédiatrie en langue vernaculaire, la dernière donnée au XVIe siècle. On doit la première édition (Regiment der Jungen Kinder) à Günter Zainer, le grand imprimeur d'Augsbourg, en 1473. Le livre fit sensation : c'est le premier ouvrage de pédiatrie édité en langue vulgaire, en même temps que le premier à contenir des illustrations. Bartholmaeus Medlinger a largement puisé dans les écrits d'Hippocrate et des médecins arabes, (jusqu'à recopier presque mot pour mot, dans certains chapitres, des passages de Rhazès, Averroès ou Avicenne). Ses indications vont des soins à prodiguer à la naissance jusqu'à la diététique, l'éducation et les jeux des enfants. En fin de volume, dictionnaire latin-allemand de plantes médicinales. L'ouvrage est illustré de huit vignettes gravées sur bois (55x65 mm) dont une répétée sur le titre. Quelques-unes ont été coloriées à l'époque. Elles représentent notamment le bain de l'enfant, le repas, l'enfant dans son berceau, un enfant jouant sur un tricycle à côté de sa mère. Bel exemplaire. (Bibliotheca Walleriana, n°6528).

[DICTIONARY]
|
| Vocabularius rerum [in Latin and German].
|
[Augsburg, Günther Zainer, 1473-74] Folio (290 x 208 mm), ff 138, gothic letter, large woodcut initial at beginning of text, painted in red, some underlining and initial strokes supplied in red; leaves numbered in MS with cross-references in the index, occasional MS annotations, a very fresh, large copy, with many deckle edges, pastiche binding ca 1900 of wooden boards and blind-stamped calf spine. £40,000 First edition, extremely rare, of the first printed technical dictionary, and, after the Vocabularius ex quo, the first dictionary to employ two languages. This work is devoted entirely to technical terms, each with its own section, of medicine (four sections), culinary and medicinal herbs and food plants, zoology, mining and mineralogy, navigation, architecture, textiles, tanning and leather work, musical instruments, books and book production, cooking and kitchen utensils, baking, wine and viticulture, gambling, carpentry, horses and carriages, etc. 'Some of the words are highly technical, lexicographical rarities. In the section on scribes and book production we find definitions not only of the traditional scribal tools (calamus, stilus, graphius, pugillaris, etc.), but also of such specialist words as antipira (= the scribe's eye-shade, for protection against the fire or candle-light), corrosorium (= the mill or grinder to reduce chalk to a powder for the preparation of vellum), and epicausterium (= the table-cloth on which the parchment is laid for ease of writing). None of these last words occurs, for example, in Karen Gould's "Terms for Book Production in a Fifteenth-Century Latin-English Nominale", The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, 79 (1985), pp. 75-99. There is also an entry on the distinction between the words liber, volumen, and codex; likewise between exemplar and exemplum.' (Nicholas Poole-Wilson). A large part of the work is devoted to medicine, including anatomical terms, surgical terms and instruments, diseases and their definitions, etc. There are also extensive lists of plants, including culinary, horticultual, and medicinal plants. 'Possessed of a knowledge of names rather than of things, the mediaeval student had one urgent need - a dictionary. New words began to pour in - in Arabic, Syriac, Hebrew, and Greek - whose meanings he sought to know; and, for the medical student, there were new drugs, the composition and uses of which were essential to his practice. It is not surprising then to find books of the dictionary class among the first to be printed... The Vocabularius, a Latin-German dictiionary from the press of Günther Zainer, Augsburg, about 1473, has four sections devoted to medicine: (1) De homine et de diversis membris, in which the parts of the body are defined in order, with the German equivalents; brief references to authors are given. (2) De nominibus balneatorum etc., containing all the terms relating to bathing, bleeding, and cupping. (3) De medicis et eorum que pertinent ad medicine artes. The definitions here are most interesting... Siringa is described as a metallic instrument with which a surgeon injects resolving medicines into the Virile member in order to dissolve calculi in the bladder. (4) De nominibus quorundam egritudinum, contains seven and a half folios of definitions of diseases.' (Osler, Incunabula medica). This work is very rare, no copy having appeared at auction in Britain or America for over twenty-five years. Provenance: André Simon, with bookplate, but not in his Bibliotheca Bacchica nor in the 1981 sale catalogue of his gastronomy collection C6326; BMC II 321; Klebs (Add) 1044.01; Osler IM 47; Goff V322 (Chicago, Grolier, Huntington, Yale, and National Library of Medicine); Poynter 600 (William Morris copy); Sudhoff 104; Stillwell 288; Schullian and Somer 485; ISTC lists, in addition to the five U.S. locations above, two copies in London (BL and Wellcome), one each in Italy (Vatican), Basel, Copenhagen, and Kyoto, and 18 in Germany, of which at least one is imperfect

ARISTOTELES.

| Problemata.
|
Translated by Theodorus Gaza. [96] leaves (the 6th leaf a blank). 39 lines, Roman type. Capital strokes & paragraph marks in table supplied in red & blue. Folio (288 x 205 mm.), modern boards covered with 15th-century manuscript leaves, the front including the Commemorations on the Feast of the Holy Family Malachias 3:1 opening with illuminated initial E, the back cover with text from Mark 14 (several unimportant marginal wormholes). Mantua: J. Vurster and J. Baumeister, [ca. 1473]. First edition of Aristotle's Problemata; this is one of the earliest of any of the texts by Aristotle to be published. The Problemata are a collection of scientific dissertations in the form of questions and answers ascribed to Aristotle in twenty chapters. Subjects include mathematics, meteorology, medicine, wine, botany, oceanography, vision, and color. The text was translated by Theodorus Gaza (ca. 1400-1475), who fled from his native city of Thessalonica before its capture by the Turks in 1430. He was one of the leaders of the revival of learning in the 15th century. In 1447 he became professor of Greek in the new university of Ferrara, to which his fame soon attracted students from all parts of Italy. In 1450, at the invitation of Pope Nicholas V, he went to Rome, where he was for some years employed in making Latin translations from Aristotle and other Greek authors. With the signature and notes of Tobias Faber, very probably the Lutheran minister who flourished ca. 1580 and was the author of Theses Medicae (Basel: 1580). A fine copy and very rare; ISTC locates only three copies in the U.S. (Harvard, LC, and PML). Goff A-1030. Klebs 95.1. Stillwell 583.

Stuttgart Hiersemann Verlag. Zollinger, Manfred Bibliographie der Spielbücher: Band 1 Erster Band: 1473-1700 Verlag : Hiersemann, A ISBN : 3-7772-9629-5 Einband : Leinen Seiten/Umfang : LXXXIV, 472 Seiten, 24 Abbildung(en) - 27,5 × 20,5 cm Erschienen : 1996 Gewicht : 1500 g Preisinfo : 148,00 Eur[D] / 148,00 Eur[A] Aus der Reihe : Hiersemanns bibl. Handb. 12 Insbesondere Kulturhistoriker, Spieleforscher, Spielesammler und -erfinder, Bibliothekare, Antiquare und große Auktionshäuser auf der ganzen Welt mußten bisher auf eine umfassende Bibliographie alter Spielbücher verzichten. Vor allem die Spielforschung als einer der jüngsten kulturhistorischen Wissenschaftszweige, gleichzeitig aber auch die fächerübergreifenden Disziplinen wie Rechtswissenschaft, Theologie, Medizin, Psychologie, Pädagogik u.a. waren bis heute auf Zufallsfunde und -kenntnisse angewiesen.Der erste Band der auf zwei Teile angelegten Bibliographie der Spielbücher ( Band 12 der Verlagsreihe "Hiersemanns bibliographische Handbücher") erfaßt sämtliche praktischen theoretischen und literarischen Einzeldrucke von der Zeit der Wiegendrucke bis 1700, die das Spiel ausschließlich oder überwiegend thematisieren. Damit sind Spielanleitungsbücher aller Art gemeint (Regelbücher, Anleitungen zu Zauberkunststücken und wissenschaftlichen Spielereien, Lernspielbücher, Konversationsspiele, Los- und Orakelspiele etc.), wissenschaftliche Traktate (historische, philologische, juridische, moralische, pädagogische, medizinische u.a. Untersuchungen), Texte zur Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung, sofern sie dem Spiel zuzuordnen sind, Lyrik, Drama und Prosa, musikalische Druckwerke und illustrative Darstellungen in Buchform. Der Begriff "Spiel" wird in seiner Kernbedeutung verstanden, d.h., Texte zu Festen, Turnieren, Sport im modernen Wortsinn werden nicht dazugerechnet, sehr wohl jedoch Ball- und Bewegungsspiele. Das berücksichtigte Sprachgebiet ist das europäische unter Einschluß des Lateinischen, jedoch mit Ausnahme der slawischen und skandinavischen Sprachen, letztere sollen im zweiten Band nachgetragen werden.CR Fast ausschließlich nach dem Prinzip der Autopsie in den wichtigsten europäischen Bibliotheken und Sammlungen erfaßt, sind im ersten Band 954 Titel zu finden, darunter eine Vielzahl von Unikaten. Auf der Grundlage von Bibliothekskatalogen und verläßlichen Quellen wurden Titel aufgenommen, die nicht eingesehen werden konnten, deren Existenz jedoch unzweifelhaft ist bzw. war (so z.B. Kriegsverluste).Zur exakten und ausführlichen Titelaufnahme und Beschreibung der Drucke gehören die Nennung der diversen Auflagen und Ausgaben, Verweise auf Quellen und Sekundärliteratur, ein Kommentar mit biographischen, texthistorischen und inhaltlichen Angaben sowie die Standortnennung mit Bibliothekssignatur. Drei Register: Autoren, Herausgeber, Übersetzer, Bearbeiter; Drucker, Verleger, Buchhändler; Spiele, vervollständigen die Angaben der Haupteinträge und sollen das gezielte Auffinden relevanter Informationen erleichtern. Ausgewählte Illustrationen aus den Druckwerken (Titelkupfer, Frontispize) dokumentieren die ikonographische Seite dieser Texte. Die auf Deutsch, Englisch und Französisch gebotene Einleitung analysiert die bibliographischen Rahmenbedingungen und die historische Entwicklung der erfaßten Werke.Band 2 wird in zwei Teilbänden den Zeitraum des 18. Jahrhunderts behandeln sowie Nachträge und Texte, in welchen das Spiel als Mittel zur Darstellung politischer Gegebenheiten (Satiren, Pamphlete) oder als Metapher des gesellschaftlichen Gefüges benutzt wird, bringen..

Quatrième édition du premier ouvrage de pédiatrie en langue vernaculaire, la dernière donnée au XVIe siècle. On doit la première édition (Regiment der Jungen Kinder) à Günter Zainer, le grand imprimeur d'Augsbourg, en 1473. Le livre fit sensation : c'est le premier ouvrage de pédiatrie édité en langue vulgaire, en même temps que le premier à contenir des illustrations. Bartholmaeus Medlinger a largement puisé dans les écrits d'Hippocrate et des médecins arabes, (jusqu'à recopier presque mot pour mot, dans certains chapitres, des passages de Rhazès, Averroès ou Avicenne). Ses indications vont des soins à prodiguer à la naissance jusqu'à la diététique, l'éducation et les jeux des enfants. En fin de volume, dictionnaire latin-allemand de plantes médicinales. L'ouvrage est illustré de huit vignettes gravées sur bois (55x65 mm) dont une répétée sur le titre. Quelques-unes ont été coloriées à l'époque. Elles représentent notamment le bain de l'enfant, le repas, l'enfant dans son berceau, un enfant jouant sur un tricycle à côté de sa mère. Bel exemplaire. (Bibliotheca Walleriana, n°6528).

| Manuscript Illumination in Lyons, 1473-1530
|
25-1. Brand new. In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, Lyons grew into one of Europe's great commercial centres and even served as an unofficial second capital of the French kingdom. While scholars have long recognized the city's prominent role in the history of printing, this is the first book to survey the art of manuscript illumination after the introduction of printing to Lyons in 1473. Using the manuscripts themselves as its main source, this study identifies and assesses the art of Lyons's busiest illuminators' workshops. It then reviews the nature of patronage and the activities of the illuminators during the close of the Middle Ages and the dawn of the Renaissance. The picture that emerges is one of a tightly knit community of artists adapting their production of fine religious and secular manuscripts to the changing demand of the clergy, the merchant class, the nobility, writers, and members of the court. A descriptive catalogue provides complementary information on 136 illuminated manuscripts, books, and leaves, many of them never published at length. The work is illustrated by a broad selection of colour and black-and-white reproductions.

| Incisione Originale Su Rame Raffigurante "La Madonna Detta Della Misericordia", Da Un Dipinto Di Fra Bartolomeo Conservato Nella Pinacoteca Di Lucca
|
. Bella tavola in formato cm.93x60, incisa da Giuseppe Saunders su disegno di Carlo Fanucchi. Formato della incisione cm.73x48. Al piede la dedicatoria del Fanucchi "A Sua Altezza Reale e Imperiale Carlo Lodovico, Duca di Lucca" con stemma borbonico. Eccellenti condizioni di conservazione. Baccio della Porta (Firenze, 1473-1517) è il nome originale del pittore fiorentino, che cambiò in Fra Bartolommeo quando si ascrisse all'ordine domenicano nel 1500 in seguito all'influenza su di lui esercitata dalle concioni di Girolamo Savonarola. Allievo di Cosimo Roselli, iniziò la produzione artistica nel 1504, lavorando ad una "Visione di San Bernardo" che vide la luce nel 1507 ed è conservata presso l'Accademia fiorentina. Influenzato da Giovanni Bellini durante un viaggio a Venezia, realizzò numerose opere di grande pregio, fra cui l'ultima è la presente "Madonna della Misericordia" (1515), che riflette la maestosità dello stile di Michelangiolo e Raffaello, incontrati durante un soggiorno a Roma nel 1514.
