BROMHULL
(John, of Little Torrington, North Devon) Recognisance of debt, in Latin with transcription and translation,
      saying he has “altogether renounced for me and my heirs for ever to Stephen Phelip of Great Torynton [Torrington] his heirs and assigns all my right and claim ... in all the lands and tenements commons woods meadows pastures and all other their appurtenances within the demesne of Little Torynton lying in the hundred of Shebbear that will fall to my inheritance there after the death of Nicholas Bromhull my father”, and that he and his heirs “are excluded by these presents from all action right and claim in the same for ever ... As Witness  William CANYNGES  [the elder, M.P., d. 1396] then  mayor of Bristol  Henry Vyel[l] deputy John Seymour Thomas Sampson Bailiffs Walter Derby Walter Frompton [sic, for Frampton] Elias Spelly and others”, no signatures, vellum, 4½” x 11¾”, Bristol, the Sunday [9th March] next before the feast of St. Gregory [12th March], 50th year of Edward III [1376], All the witnesses named are connected with the great first flourishing of Bristol.  William Canynges the elder  was the first mayor of Bristol as a ‘City and County of a City’, 1373, the first designation of its kind. His ships carried his woollen cloth to Calais and Flanders and pilgrims to Coruña for Compostella. He was again mayor in 1375, 1381, 1385 and 1389, and three times M.P.. His grandson, William the younger (c. 1399-1474), rebuilt St. Mary Redcliffe as it appears today.  Henry Vyell  was the father of John (d. 1398), the first Sheriff of Bristol in 1373.  Walter Derby  senior was Canynges’ fellow bailiff in 1362, mayor 1367, and M.P. 1372. His son founded St. Werburga’s church.  Walter Frampton  (d. 1388) is buried in St. John the Baptist’s church. His father founded the chantry there in 1375.  Elias Spelly  built the chapel on Bristol Bridge, dedicated in 1361. He shared with Canynges the licence to take pilgims to Coruña and bring back merchandise, and they were M.P.s together for Bristol in 1386. For this period see Edith E. Williams, ‘The Chantries of William Canynges [the younger] in St. Mary Redcliffe’ (1950), pp. 45-51. Bristol was one of the 16 cities appointed to register recognisances for debt (see Birch, ‘Seals’, 1907, p. 69). Little Torrington is on the South side of the Torridge, with Great Torrington on the North in Fremington Hundred. They are linked by the Town Bridge and (on the East) by Town Mills Bridge.

Teofilo F. Ruiz
Spain's Centuries of Crisis: 1300-1474
      Blackwell Publishers. New This book is a comprehensive history of Spain from the turn of the fourteenth century to the union of the Crowns of Castile and Aragon in 1474. In the early 1300s instabilities threatened to undermine Spain's basic social, economic, political, and cultural structures. This text focuses on the crises of Spain in the late middle ages, ranging from plague and famine to violence and civil war. It considers the early transformations that underpinned the country's later successes and describes resolutions to the country's hardships brought about by the reforms of the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, in the late 1470s. The book examines the administrative changes and cultural revival that readied Spain for the opportunities and challenges of the oncoming early modern Age of Discovery. ISBN10: 1405127899.

We may at once deny for jurisprudence any direct concern with the non human contents of the universe. Natural laws or the physical laws are not the work of the jurist. The study of jurisprudence concerns human thought in relation to social existence.|~|"In a wide sense "jurisprudence" is used also to describe the legal connections of any body of knowledge: so "dental jurisprudence", "architectural jurisprudence" or "medical jurisprudence" would be titles for expositions of such aspects of dentistry, architecture or medicine as may be important in law. In French law jurisprudence is the term(s) applied to the body of law built-up by the decisions of particular courts.|~|"At the present time jurisprudence may tentatively be described as any thought or writing about law and its relation to other disciplines, such as philosophy, psychology, economics, anthropology, etc. It is to be distinguished from expositions of the law itself. The present work in five volumes encompasses encyclopaedia information on various aspects of jurisprudence." (jacket) . ISBN: 81-261-1474-6.

USSELINCX, Willem?]. ADAMS, Yemant
Den Nederlandtschen Bye-Korf: waer in ghy beschreven vindt, al tghene dat nu wtghegaen is, op den Stilstant ofte Vrede, . beginnende in Mey 1607, ende noch en hebben wy niet het eynde. Ende is ghestelt op een tzamen-sprekinghe, tusschen een Vlaming ende Hollander. Noch is hier by ghevoecht een Ghedicht, .[Amsterdam?], 1608. Small 4to (19.5 x 15 cm). With 2 decorated woodcut initial letters, arabesque fleurons on the title-page and forming a headpiece, and 1 woodcut tailpiece. Disbound.
      - (8) pp. Alden & Landis 608/116 (4 copies); Asher 26/1 & Add.; Knuttel 1474; Sabin 98201; Tiele 684; OCLC WorldCat (2 copies); STCN (7 copies); cf. Simoni U-10 (2nd ed.). A nearly untrimmed copy of the first edition of the famous Nederlandse Bijenkorf (Dutch Beehive), printed to advertise and introduce a collective issue of thirty anonymous pamphlets agitating against the proposed truce between Spain and the Netherlands in the middle of the Eighty Years' War, and warning the Dutch not to sacrifice their West Indian trade to the pursuit of peace. The anonymous publisher notes that a friend had urged him to gather together "all that has been published about the ceasefire and peace" because many people wished to collect the pamphlets and have them bound together, but since not even the booksellers know exactly what has been published, no one knows whether their collections are complete. He therefore brought together "all that I could get hold of" and added the present dialogue to be bound before them. In fact he included only pamphlets against the truce: none in favour of the truce! The main text of the present introductory pamphlet takes the form of a conversation between a Hollander (from the Dutch Republic in the Northern Netherlands) and a Flemish refugee (from the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands), the Hollander selling the Fleming the pamphlets, which are named individually. The present pamphlet therefore serves as a sort of catalogue, as well as a general introduction to the subject. The poem at the end, about Spain's untrustworthiness and the dangers of trying to make a peace settlement with them, is signed "Yemant Adams" (Someone Adams, a pseudonym probably meaning merely a descendent of Adam).On 4 May 1607, after forty years of war, Spain and the Dutch Republic began a ceasefire and peace negotiations that were to lead to the twelve-year truce two years later. The sharply divided opinions on the acceptable terms for peace and on the benefits and harm a truce might bring to the Republic set off a flood of pamphlets. The Dutch were considering establishing a West India Company, and Spain's wish to limit Dutch trade in the West Indies was the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations. The present pamphlet appeared in at least three editions (the STCN notes a fourth variant) listing an increasing number of pamphlets (from 30 in the present first to 37 in the third edition, including the introduction). All three are dated 1608 and apparently appeared after Easter (6 April: Asher 26-28/24 refers to events of that date) but before most of the pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608, for the ban specifically mentions two pamphlets listed only in the third edition. Several of the key pamphlets in the collection were written by Willem Usselincx, but it is not known whether he had a hand in the introduction. His most beloved project was to establish the West India Company, and the present introduction mentions both the Spanish intent to snatch away the best part of the Indies trade and how important it is to safeguard the Republic's free trade in the West Indies. The Hollander in the dialogue explicitly notes already in this first edition that some of the pamphlets are "difficult to find." He also notes that one pamphlet exists under two different titles, so it had clearly gone through two editions before the first edition of the introduction. Some pamphlets listed in all three editions of the Bye-Korf, appear to have been printed only once, while some mentioned only in the third edition survive in several printings. Clearly the pamphlets were reprinted at irregular intervals as supplies ran out, and more study is needed to determine the order of the editions and which were issued with which editions of the Bye-Korf. Nearly all are Pot quartos.In very good condition and nearly untrimmed, leaving large margins. Only slightly browned and with minor damage at the fold, not approaching the text or decorations.

Hierokles von Alexandria (gest. Mitte
In aureos versus Pythagorae opusculum.
      Padua, Bartholomaeus de Valdezoccho, 1474.. 1. Ausgabe. Provenienzexemplar. 4°; 20 cm hoch, 15,5 cm tief. 91 (statt 92) Bll., a-k8 l6 m5 (letztes leeres Bl. fehlt). 24 Zeilen pro Seite (Textspiegel: 132 x 76 mm). Ganzleder. Sehr Guter - Guter Zustand.; 1. InkunabelnLateinische Übersetzung durch Joannes Aurispa. Ganzlederband des späten 19. Jh. (GW 12409 Goff H-151) Wunderbar erhaltene Erstausgabe in prachtvollem roten Ledereinband des 19. Jahrhunderts. Es handelt sich hierbei um einen Kommentar zum "Goldenen Gedicht" der Phytagoreer, das einzige vollständig erhaltene Werk des Neoplatonikers Hierokles von Alexandria. Der Text wurde durch den sizilianischen Humanisten Giovanni Aurispa (1376-1459) ins Lateinische übersetzt, der die griechische Handschrift 1441 in Venedig erstand. Die dem Text vorangestellte vierseitige Widmung richtete Aursipa an Papst Nicolas V. (1447-55). Eine ausgesprochene Besonderheit dieser Ausgabe sind die handgestempelten Lagenzählungen, die aus einer Reihe von bei Valdezoccho [auch: Val de Zoccho] gedruckten Werken aus dem Jahre 1474 bekannt sind. Bei einer Neubindung wurden diese häufig durch den Buchbinder abgeschnitten, was im vorliegenden Fall für die Lagen i-m zutrifft. Bei den Lagen a-h sind diese außergewöhnlichen Stempel jedoch erhalten. Weiterhin sind der ausgesprochen breite Rand sowie die frühe romanische Drucktype wichtige Merkmale, welche die besondere Ästhetik des vorliegenden Bandes unterstreichen. Prachtvoller roter Ganzlederband des späten 19. Jahrhunderts mit dezenten goldenen Rückenprägungen sowie feinen goldgeprägten Bordüren auf Deckeln, Innen- und Stehkanten. Dreiseitiger Goldschnitt. [Zustand des Einbandes: 1-2 / Zustand des Papiers: 2+ / Sonstige Anmerkungen: Die Inkunabel befindet sich innerlich wie äußerlich in wunderbarem Zustand. Die Kanten und Ecken des Einbandes sind nur leicht berieben, die rote Farbe des Leders kräftig und leuchtend. Kleines Bibliotheksschildchen auf dem vorderen Deckel. Das Papier ist nur sehr leicht gebräunt und bis auf wenige schwache Flecken makellos. Auf dem vorderen Spiegel findet sich das gedruckte Exlibris John Vertues, Bishop of Portsmouth (1826-1900), der den Band im Jahre 1894 dem Stonyhurst College in Lancashire vermachte. Ein prachtvoll erhaltenes und schön gebundenes Exemplar dieser gesuchten Erstausgabe.] Hierokles (gest. Mitte des 5. Jh.) war ein Schüler des Plutarch von Athen (ca. 350 - 431 oder 433). Er hielt stets an seinem Heidentum fest und vertrat die Ansicht, dass die göttliche Vorsehung und der freie Wille des Menschen durchaus miteinander zu vereinbaren waren: "Die wichtigsten Quellen für die Kenntnis der Philosophie des H. bilden sein Kommentar zum Goldenen Gedicht der Pythagoreer und das von Photius referierte Werk Peri Pronoias (Über Vorsehung). Der oberste Gott übt als Demiurg seine Vorsehung durch Engel aus, was aber mit dem freien Willen vereinbar bleibt." (BBKL, Bd. II, Sp. 817).

Hierocles of Alexandria (died 5th
In aureos versus Pythagorae opusculum.
      Padua, Bartholomaeus de Valdezoccho, 1474. - First Edition. 4°; 20 cm x 15,5 cm. 91 (of 92) leaves, a-k8 l6 m5 (lacking last blank leaf). 24 columns per page (Text size: 132 x 76 mm). Full calf binding. Very good condition. Wonderfully preserved First Edition in a superbly elegant binding made of beautiful red leather. The work contains the commentary to the "Golden Poem" by the Pythagoreans. It is the only surviving work by the Neo-Platonist Hierocles of Alexandria. The text was translated into Latin by the Sicilian humanist Giovanni Aurispa (1376-1459; also known as Joannes Aurispa) who bought the original Greek manuscript in Venice in 1441. The book is dedicated to Pope Nicolas V. (1447-1455). This edition also features an extremely rare characteristic of old incunables: the quire counts were stamped onto the paper by hand. These hand-stamped counts are especially known in works printed by Valdezoccho (also: Val de Zoccho) in 1473. When these works were rebound the bookbinder usually removed the stamps, which happened here in quires i-m. Quires a-h still retain these remarkable stamps. The broad margins and early Roman type are also important criteria which further underline the esthetical uniqueness of the volume at hand. Elegant full red leather binding of the late 19th century with beautifully discreet gilt-stamped spine and fine gilt-stamped borders on covers and edges. All edges of the text block are golden. [Condition of the binding: Very Good / Condition of the paper: Good (+) / Further remarks: The incunable is in very good condition. The corners and edges of the binding are only very lightly rubbed. The red color of the leather is strong and bright. A small library label on the front cover. The paper has hardly darkened and apart from a few light marks appears as new. The inner cover with a book plate by John Vertues, Bishop of Portsmouth (1826-1900), who gave the book to Stonyhurst College in Lancashire in 1894. A remarkably beautiful and wonderfully preserved copy of this very much sought-after First Edition. ] Hierocles (died 5th century A.D.) was a student of Plutarch of Athens (c. 350 - 431/433). He was an avid defender of heathen beliefs and was of the opinion that divine intervention and free will could coexist: "The most important source for our knowledge of H.'s philosophy is his commentary on the Golden Verses of the Pythagoreans." (BBKL, Bd. II) (GW 12409 Goff H-151). [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Bartolomeo Caimi († ca. 1496), Franciscan monk in the convent of Saint Mary of the Angels in Milan and papal legate under Sistus IV, was auctor unius libri: this unique work became so common that it was reprinted eleven times during the 15th century, primarily in Germany. The Confessional is a handbook, organized into chapters according to saint Antoninus outline, and probably inspired by Clavasius's Summa Angelica. It contains specific prescriptions for the confessors about questions and penances and also an excursus concerning the numerous kinds of gambles, forbidden to the clergymen. Small wormholes on outer margin of nine leaves, perfectly restored. Overall a very good and clear copy on crisp paper, enriched by many contemporary handwritten notes. PROVENANCE: Owner's inscription S Mari(a)e Grati(a)e Arci on first leaf, marginal notes (slightly trimmed), pagination and headlines in red or black, in two different but contemporary handwritings.

Il Confessionale è un manuale pratico, organizzato per capitoli secondo lo schema proposto da sant'Antonino e probabilmente ispirato alla Summa Angelica del Clavasio, con indicazioni specifiche ai confessori su domande e penitenze relative alle singole professioni, e con un excursus dei vari tipi di giochi d'azzardo, proibiti agli uomini di chiesa.

Timbro ‘Schönborn Bibliothek’ al verso dell’ultima carta della seconda opera. Prima edizione in italiano della seconda opera più antica sull’occhio, dopo il De oculis del Grassus (1474).

Il testo di questa edizione è di fra’ Teofilo Romano. Prima di questa vennero stampate tre edizioni latine (1476, 1477 e 1496). L’opera è fondamentalmente un trattato morale, ma non mancano capitoli di interesse scientifico, e contiene la prima descrizione anatomica dell’occhio. «The purpose of the De oculo morali is purely ethical but it contains a description of the eye, together with a brief account of eye diseases and their treatment» (Sarton ii, p. 1029).

Hierocles of Alexandria (died 5th
In aureos versus Pythagorae opusculum.
      Padua, Bartholomaeus de Valdezoccho, 1474.. First Edition. 4°; 20 cm x 15,5 cm. 91 (of 92) leaves, a-k8 l6 m5 (lacking last blank leaf). 24 columns per page (Text size: 132 x 76 mm). Full calf binding. Very good condition.; 1. IncunableWonderfully preserved First Edition in a superbly elegant binding made of beautiful red leather. The work contains the commentary to the "Golden Poem" by the Pythagoreans. It is the only surviving work by the Neo-Platonist Hierocles of Alexandria. The text was translated into Latin by the Sicilian humanist Giovanni Aurispa (1376-1459; also known as Joannes Aurispa) who bought the original Greek manuscript in Venice in 1441. The book is dedicated to Pope Nicolas V. (1447-1455). This edition also features an extremely rare characteristic of old incunables: the quire counts were stamped onto the paper by hand. These hand-stamped counts are especially known in works printed by Valdezoccho (also: Val de Zoccho) in 1473. When these works were rebound the bookbinder usually removed the stamps, which happened here in quires i-m. Quires a-h still retain these remarkable stamps. The broad margins and early Roman type are also important criteria which further underline the esthetical uniqueness of the volume at hand. Elegant full red leather binding of the late 19th century with beautifully discreet gilt-stamped spine and fine gilt-stamped borders on covers and edges. All edges of the text block are golden. [Condition of the binding: Very Good / Condition of the paper: Good (+) / Further remarks: The incunable is in very good condition. The corners and edges of the binding are only very lightly rubbed. The red color of the leather is strong and bright. A small library label on the front cover. The paper has hardly darkened and apart from a few light marks appears as new. The inner cover with a book plate by John Vertues, Bishop of Portsmouth (1826-1900), who gave the book to Stonyhurst College in Lancashire in 1894. A remarkably beautiful and wonderfully preserved copy of this very much sought-after First Edition. ] Hierocles (died 5th century A.D.) was a student of Plutarch of Athens (c. 350 - 431/433). He was an avid defender of heathen beliefs and was of the opinion that divine intervention and free will could coexist: "The most important source for our knowledge of H.'s philosophy is his commentary on the Golden Verses of the Pythagoreans." (BBKL, Bd. II) (GW 12409 Goff H-151).

GREGORIUS IX Pont. Max.
Decretales, cum glossa.
      Roma, Ulrich Han e Simone Cardella, 20.IX.1474, in-folio, ff. 475 n.n. (su 478: mancano a1 bianco, x2, D8; S1 bianco presente), senza segnatura (con indicazione del capitolo e numerazione mss. da mano coeva nell'angolo alto di ciascun foglio; quest'ultima però non tiene conto del primo f. bianco mancante); legatura secentesca in pergamena con grande fregio dorato al centro e 4 agli angoli dei piatti, dorso rifatto. Sul primo foglio 2 iniziali grandi e tre più piccole dipinte in rosso e blu con fregi filigranati, sparse nel testo svariate centinaia di altre piccole iniziali in rosso o blu. Testo su due colonne in car. tondo, racchiuso dal commento in car. più piccolo. F. 2 r.: «Incipit nova compilatio decretalium gregorii. ix.»; in fine, f. 476v., colophon: «Finiunt decretales correctissime: impresse in alma urbe Rom?&per magistrum Uldaricum gallum Alamanum & Symonem nicolai de Luca: cum glosis ordinariis Bernardi Parmensis & additionibus sui?&anno domini.

Rarissimo incunabulo romano, probabilmente la terza edizione di questa raccolta di leggi papali che il grande Papa Gregorio IX (Ugolino dei conti di Segni, nato ad Anagni intorno al 1148, morto nel 1241) aveva pensato di far redigere fin dai primi anni del suo pontificato, quale "rinvigorimento dell'autorità pontificia e del suo influsso", tanto più necessario dopo la promulgazione delle Costituzioni di Melfi da parte di Federico II di Sicilia (cfr. Encicl. Catt. VI, 1136). Esempl. molto bello (nonostante la mancanza dichiarata), impresso su carta forte, a grandi margini, con rare postille di mano coeva nei margini (qualche ingiallitura qua e là, forellini di tarlo senza danno al testo sui primi 20 ed ultimi 9 ff.). Nessun esempl. al British Museum né in USA. IGI 4452 (4 copie). GW 11452. Vaticana G-164.

MERULA, Giorgio.
In librum de homine Martii Galeotti opus…
      Venice, Johannes de Colonia & Johannes Manthen c.1474 FIRST EDITION. 4to. 80 unnumbered ll. [b2-b10, c10, d-g8, h10, i6, l2-l8, m6]. Roman letter, some Greek. 29 lines per page, guide letters, spaces blank, lacking the two blanks. One leaf (l8) not printed, text supplied in contemp. ms., medical marginalia in the same hand throughout. Marginal soiling to first leaf, two small marginal wormholes to first four gatherings, a little foxing to some leaves. A very good, clean, wide-margined copy on thick paper in C17th mottled sheep, spine gilt in compartments. Illegible ownership inscription in lower blank portion of first leaf dated 1644, another, contemporary, at end of first part. A very attractive copy of the first edition of Merula's (c.1430-1494) elaborate philological attack on Galeotus' medical and astrological treatise, Liber de homine, published in Bologna in 1471. The present work is divided into four sections. In the first, Merula takes short statements or extracts from Galeotus, and interweaves them with his own, lengthy, commentary (he takes pains to cite and correct Galeotus' work in meticulous detail). Galeotus' work is first concerned with medicine, so Merula's criticisms - which frequently refer to Classical sources including Pliny, Demosthenes and Aristotle - discuss medical conditions and treatment, among them nasal polyps, stomach-ache, haemorrhoids (which Merula attributes to a surfeit of black choler in the veins around the groin), and glaucoma, when the eyes appear "lividi et plumbei coloris." Merula states that Galeotus describes the condition inaccurately and confuses it with hypochyma, citing authorities to support his claims; the work is arranged systematically (discussions of other eye diseases follow). Merula takes issue with Galeotus' reading of the Classical medical authorities, criticizing his understanding of the texts, rather than his medical knowledge as such. Merula also elaborately criticises Galeotus' astrological views, which make up the second subject matter of his work, especially his rather naïve infatuation with judicial astrology which Merula clearly does not share. The remaining three sections, addressed to some of the great nobleman-scholars of the day, contain some excellent examples of the Classical scholarship for which Merula was renowned: (1) An interpretation of Sappho, written to Patricius Marcus Antonius Maurocenus (Morosini), a member of the noble Venetian family which supplied many Doges and Cardinals, perhaps to be identified with the Antonio Morosini who was author of the great historical manuscript the Morosini Codex (c.1430), held in the Austrian Nationalbibliothek. (2) A discussion of Pliny the Younger, addressed to Antonius Chronicus (Antonio Vinciguerra Cronico), a little-known scholar, praised by the cabbalist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola in his Orations as a man of immense learning. (3) Nominally a commentary on Vergil, but more a gazetteer of places in the ancient world, such as Athens, Cythera and Sidon, their contemporary equivalents and the derivations of their names, as well as ancient cultures, including the Spanish, Saxons and Amazons. This is addressed to Prince Ludovicus Gonzaga, a name held by several members of the family of the Dukes of Mantua, but given the date, most probably Ludovicus III (1414-1478). Merula taught Classics for forty years in Milan and Venice, and was "un des restaurateurs des bonnes études" (NBG). He published commentaries on Cicero, Pliny, Virgil, Ovid and Juvenal, editiones principes of Plautus and the Scriptores rei rusticae, and corresponded with many of his leading contemporaries, not always on cordial terms. "Sa vanité, qui était encore plus grande que son savoir", led him into conflicts such as the present one. Galeotus (tutor to King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary and professor at Bologna) was so angry with Merula that he published a response to the present work, Refutatio obiectorum in librum de homine a Giorgio Merula, in 1476, a "bitter invective against Merula" (BMC). Johannes de Colonia and Johannes Manthen worked together from 1474 until 1480, in a reconstruction of Colonia's earlier partnership with Vindelinus de Spira. This is one of their earliest productions, and remains an elegant example of early Venetian typography.

REGIOMONTANUS (D.I. JOHANNES MÜLLER VON
[Calendarium latinum.]
      [Nürnberg,] Johannes Regiomontanus, [1474]. 4°. Römische Type, 32 Zeilen. In Rot und Schwarz gedruckt. 30 unnum. Bl. (statt 32; es fehlen die Blätter 19 und 20 mit der Darstellung der astronomischen Apparate; ohne Lagenzählung). Mit 60, teilweise gelb kolorierten Holzschnitten für die Mondphasen auf fünf Blättern und 22 Holzschnittinitialen auf schwarzem Grund. Moderner, hellbrauner Halbschweinslederband (sign. Hedberg, Stockholm). – Hain-Copinger 13775. Proctor 2210. BMC II, 456 (IA 7877). Goff R-92. Schreiber 4376 (nur acht Exemplare verzeichnet, dabei dieses). Klebs 836.1. Rosenwald 43. – Erste lateinische Ausgabe des ersten typographisch gedruckten Kalenders, von Regiomontan in seiner Nürnberger Privatdruckerei vermutlich gegen Ende 1474 gedruckt, gleichzeitig mit einer deutschen Ausgabe. Das Werk enthält astronomische Angaben für die Jahre 1475 bis 1513. Im vorliegenden Exemplar ist die erste unbedruckte Seite von zeitgenössischer (italienischer) Hand mit ausführlichen astronomischen Notizen dicht beschrieben. Die ersten zwölf Versoseiten enthalten die Tabellen für die Conjunction und Opposition des Mondes, auf den entsprechenden zwölf Rectoseiten ist das Calendarium angeordnet. Im Kalender sind einige Heiligen-Festtage mit roter Tinte eingedruckt, in den Conjunctions- resp. Oppositionstabellen sind zahlreiche Daten mit roter Tinte von Hand eingeschrieben. Auf das Dezember- Kalendarium folgt eine „Tabula Regionum“, darauf fünf Blätter mit den Darstellungen der Eclipsen. Weiter finden sich Angaben für die Kalenderberechnung, den Lauf der Sonne und des Mondes, Tageslängen mit Tafel, die Anweisung zur Anfertigung einer Sonnenuhr, über die Tag- und Nachtgleiche, die Stundenzahl der Tage, eine Ostertafel, sowie über das Aderlassen. Wie im Exemplar des British Museum ist vor die Tafel der beweglichen Feste ein Zettel eingeklebt, der Ergänzungen zur Berechnung der beweglichen Feste in Schaltjahren verzeichnet. Johannes Müller (1436-1476), der sich nach seiner Heimatstadt Königsberg „Regiomontanus“ nannte, studierte Mathematik und Astronomie an der Wiener Universität. Auf Einladung Kardinal Bessarions ging er 1460 nach Italien, um seine Griechisch-Kenntnisse zu vervollkommnen und um Astronomie in Ferrara, Padua und Venedig zu lehren. 1468 kehrte er nach Wien zurück, wurde bald von Mathias Corvinus als dessen Bibliothekar nach Buda geholt. 1471 läßt er sich in Nürnberg nieder, wo er in Bernhard Walther einen wohlhabenden Förderer findet, mit dessen Hilfe er 1473 seine Druckerei einrichtet, aus der bis 1475 insgesamt elf Drucke ans Licht kommen, sechs davon sind seine Kalender und Ephemeriden. 1475 rief Papst Sixtus IV. Regiomontan für seine geplante Kalenderreform nach Rom; dort starb er kurz nach Ankunft. – Unserm Exemplar fehlen die beiden Blätter mit der Darstellung der astronomischen Instrumente. Die vorhandenen Blätter sind durchgehend etwas finger- oder schmutzfleckig. Das breitrandige Exemplar weist einige unbedeutende Randeinrisse und winzige Wurmspuren ebenfalls im Rand auf. Das zwölfte Blatt ist alt mit einem Papierstreifen ausgebessert (ohne Textverlust). Das zwanzigste Blatt ist ebenfalls alt geklebt (vermutlich bereits bei Drucklegung). - Von großem Interesse sind die handschriftlichen Marginalien, die sich auf allen Blättern des Kalendariums finden. Diese Eintragungen - sie dürften aus dem frühen 16. Jh. stammen - sind von einem Kenner der Materie und sind Ergänzungen zu den Conjunctions- und Oppositionstabellen (jeweils im oberen weißen Rand); am Fuß Verweise auf die Sternzeichen. Auf dem Dezember-Blatt und dem gegenüberliegenden Blatt zwei hübsche Zeichnungen von Voll- und Neumond. Einige Marginalien von späterer Hand. - Es ist reizvoll zu spekulieren, ob die von Hand rot eingetragenen Daten auf den Conjunctions- und Oppositionstabellen sowie in der Tabelle der beweglichen Feste etwa von der Hand Regiomontans herrühren könnten. – Wie alle Drucke aus Regiomontans Privatdruckerei von großer Seltenheit.

      - (8) pp. Alden & Landis 608/116 (4 copies); Asher 26/1 & Add.; Knuttel 1474; Sabin 98201; Tiele 684; OCLC WorldCat (2 copies); STCN (7 copies); cf. Simoni U-10 (2nd ed.). A nearly untrimmed copy of the first edition of the famous Nederlandse Bijenkorf (Dutch Beehive), printed to advertise and introduce a collective issue of thirty anonymous pamphlets agitating against the proposed truce between Spain and the Netherlands in the middle of the Eighty Years' War, and warning the Dutch not to sacrifice their West Indian trade to the pursuit of peace. The anonymous publisher notes that a friend had urged him to gather together "all that has been published about the ceasefire and peace" because many people wished to collect the pamphlets and have them bound together, but since not even the booksellers know exactly what has been published, no one knows whether their collections are complete. He therefore brought together "all that I could get hold of" and added the present dialogue to be bound before them. In fact he included only pamphlets against the truce: none in favour of the truce! The main text of the present introductory pamphlet takes the form of a conversation between a Hollander (from the Dutch Republic in the Northern Netherlands) and a Flemish refugee (from the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands), the Hollander selling the Fleming the pamphlets, which are named individually. The present pamphlet therefore serves as a sort of catalogue, as well as a general introduction to the subject. The poem at the end, about Spain's untrustworthiness and the dangers of trying to make a peace settlement with them, is signed "Yemant Adams" (Someone Adams, a pseudonym probably meaning merely a descendent of Adam).On 4 May 1607, after forty years of war, Spain and the Dutch Republic began a ceasefire and peace negotiations that were to lead to the twelve-year truce two years later. The sharply divided opinions on the acceptable terms for peace and on the benefits and harm a truce might bring to the Republic set off a flood of pamphlets. The Dutch were considering establishing a West India Company, and Spain's wish to limit Dutch trade in the West Indies was the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations. The present pamphlet appeared in at least three editions (the STCN notes a fourth variant) listing an increasing number of pamphlets (from 30 in the present first to 37 in the third edition, including the introduction). All three are dated 1608 and apparently appeared after Easter (6 April: Asher 26-28/24 refers to events of that date) but before most of the pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608, for the ban specifically mentions two pamphlets listed only in the third edition. Several of the key pamphlets in the collection were written by Willem Usselincx, but it is not known whether he had a hand in the introduction. His most beloved project was to establish the West India Company, and the present introduction mentions both the Spanish intent to snatch away the best part of the Indies trade and how important it is to safeguard the Republic's free trade in the West Indies. The Hollander in the dialogue explicitly notes already in this first edition that some of the pamphlets are "difficult to find." He also notes that one pamphlet exists under two different titles, so it had clearly gone through two editions before the first edition of the introduction. Some pamphlets listed in all three editions of the Bye-Korf, appear to have been printed only once, while some mentioned only in the third edition survive in several printings. Clearly the pamphlets were reprinted at irregular intervals as supplies ran out, and more study is needed to determine the order of the editions and which were issued with which editions of the Bye-Korf. Nearly all are Pot quartos.In very good condition and nearly untrimmed, leaving large margins. Only slightly browned and with minor damage at the fold, not approaching the text or decorations.

MAGNI, Jacobus.
Sophologium.
      Uncut copy of the first edition of the Sophologium, given by Wilhelm of Aachen to the 'Domus Regularium Bonorum puerorum'at Liege in 1474 (Strassburg, 'R' printer (Adolf Rusch), ca. 1470). Folio. Contemporary calf over bevelled wooden boards, spine ribbed, with original green morocco label lettered in gold; both covers with blind tooled lozenge-shaped pattern with small fleur-de-lys and star stamps; original label with title and shelf-mark pasted to the front cover; in modern half calf case. Roman letter (Type: R 103), rubricated in red throughout with red paragraph marks and initials on the three to five line spaces left open, many with printed guide letters; wide margins (the measuring 295 x 215 mm.), 35 lines to a page; Collation: (a-d)10, (e)8+1(f. e2 added, no lost of text), (f)8, (g-i)10, (k)6, (l-m)8, (n-o)10, (p-q)8, (r-u)10, (x)8, (y)10, (z)8, (A)8-2 (without the mostly lacking last two blanks); 217 leaves. First edition of this very rare incunable. There are two undated editions of this work by the same printer Adolf Rusch, which were printed shortly after one another (HC 10471 and 10472) and our copy appears to belong to the first. The anonymous printer, whose modern nickname is derived from the peculiar 'R' of his 103 type is now generally identified with Adolf Rusch of Ingweiler who married Johann Mentelin's daughter Salome and who succeeded Mentelin - the very first printer in Strassburg - in his business after his death in 1479. Before that date he worked already partly for Mentelin and partly for his own, as our book shows. His type with the peculiar 'R' is the first Roman type ever used in Germany.Jacobus Magni (or Jacques Legrand) was a French Augustinian, born in Toulouse (ca. 1350) where he first worked as a librarian. Later on, at the beginning of the fifteenth century he moved to Paris to become a preacher. In Paris he came in contact with the Royal Court of Charles VI, where he preached in 1405 with much boldnes against Queen Isabel of Bavaris (1371-1435) and the inpopular Duc d'Orléans. After the assassination of the Duc, Le Grand was sent to England to negociate with the English King. He died around 1422. Being in essence an encyclopaedical work especially in the field of philosophy and economy, the Sophologium was considered to be a handbook of good manners at the same time. As such it had a great success and judging by the vast number of incunable and post-incunable editions the book became very popular during the first century of printing. In fact the work is an anthology of philosophy and science taken from numerous ancient writers and early Fathers, as well as Albumazar, Chaucer, etc. Because it is a well composed and rather complete summary of all relevant classical and medieval authors, the book was used intensively till far into the 17th century. The text was translated into French by Jacques le Grand himself and was published (only in abridged form) in Chablis in 1478 under the title 'Le livre intitule de bonnes meurs dédié à très -noble prince ... Jean, fils du roi de France, duc de Berry ...'. An English translation was printed by Caxton in 1487 with the title 'The Book of Good Manners'.The incunable has a very interesting provenance. On verso of the first fly-leaf a manuscript note states that this copy was given to the 'Convent of the regular Canons at the priory of St. Elisabeth or of the 'Good boys' (des Bons-Enfants)' in Liège in 1474 by Wilhelmus de Aquisgrani (of Aachen), canon of the St. Lambert Church at Liège (Monast. Belge, II, p. 376-9): "Liber regularium domus bonorum puerorum in Leodio. Quem dedit nobis venerabilis dominus wilhelmus de aquisgrani. doctor in sacra theologia. et canonicus ecclesie sancti lamberti leodiensis ... oremus ergo cordialiter pro eo: Anno domino M. cccc. lxxiiii." Our copy is herewith the third copy known with an added date in manuscript - one with the date 1473 and one other with 1474 - giving a firm 'terminus ante quem' to the undated edition. We know also the orifinal shelf-mark of the book in the library of the convent: "M vi" is written on the label on the front cover, as well as on a label pasted to the verso of this cover.Furthermore our copy shows a number of very interesting features regarding the history of early printing. The leaves are totally uncut in such a way that not only most of the original manuscript signatures and catchwords are visible in the lower margins, but also the little holes in the upper and lower margins caused by the nails on the tympan of the printing-press, enabling the printer to print the lines on the rectos and the versos of the leaves 'in register': just on top of each other.- f. 1r-3r: Contents: Capitula tractatus primi libri primi Incipiunt.- f. 3v: Dedication the the French King by Jacobus Magno. Inc.: '(I)llustrissimi principis regis francorum.- f. 3v-217v: Text. Inc.: 'Tractatus primus huius primi libri: est de quibusdam que inducunt ad amorem sapiencie.
