Motilal Banarsidass - CONDITION: NEW -- BINDING: Hardcover ~ Condition: NEW ~ This book is a landmark in the historical literature of Tibet composed by a well known scholar and translator Gos lo-tsa-ba-gZon-nu dpal (1392-1481 A D). It is the main source of information for all later historical compilations in the Land of Snows. This work is invaluable inasmuch as it establishes a firm chronology of events of Tibetan history and works out in detail the list of the names of famous religious teachers and their spiritual lineage. The work is divided into fifteen chapters, each dedicated to the history of a particular school or sect of Tibetan Buddhism. It provides a comparative study of the chronological data given by T'ang Annals, Blue Annals, and Tun-huang chronicles. The Blue Annals appears to be a faithful reproduction of the list given in the T'ang Annals with minor differences. The book concludes with the portrayal of the origin, etc. of the communities of the four schools. It contains indexes for Sutras and Sastras, personal names and book titles and personal names (Tibetan), etc.EXCERPTS FROM REVIEWSThe work is very important for a true understanding of Tibetan Buddhism, its tantric and magical beliefs and their integration into Buddhism.The book is a noteworthy contribution to Buddhist history, Tibetan Buddhist history in particular. The world of learning is under a deep debt of gratitude to George Roerich, who undertook to translate and edit this large tome, Indica.-J VelinkarThe Blue Annals is based on the work by a well-known Tibetan scholar GOs lo-tsa-ba gZon-nu cpal (1392-1481 A D) and establishes a firm chronology of historical and religious works in Tibetan.Divided into fifteen chapters each dedicated to the history of a particular sect of Tibetan Buddhism, the work brings out the spiritual lineage of the various teachers. It is of immense value to research students and those interested in the subject.-The Assam Tribune-CMKThis is definitely a book for the aficionado of Tibetan Buddhism.

Goff locates copies of this second edition printed between 1481 and 1487 on the West coast (Huntington only), with the University of Illinois and Southern Methodist University copies between coasts, and the remaining few copies distributed between Washington, D.C. and New Haven.

Littleton, Sir Thomas [d.1481] - Houard, David [1725-1802], Editor and Translator. Anciennes Loix des Francois, Conservees Dans les Coutumes Angloises, Recueillies par Littleton; Avec des Observations Historiques & Critiques, Ou l'on Fait Voir que les Coutumes & Usages Suivis Anciennement en Normandie, Sont les Memes que Ceux qui Etoient en Viguer dans Toute la France sous les Deux Premieres Races de nos Rois. Ouvrage Egalement Utile pour L'Etude de Notre Ancienne Histoire & Pour L'Intelligence du Droit Coutumier de Chaque Province. Rouen: De L'Imprimerie de Richard Lallement, 1766. Two volumes. Main text in parallel columns. Quarto (9-3/4" x 8"). Recent period-style quarter calf over cloth, raised bands and lettering pieces to spines, endpapers renewed, edges rouged. Some chipping to fore-edge of dedication leaf, which was been rehinged, small faint stains to a few leaves, interiors otherwise fresh. Ex-library. Tiny stamp to two leaves. A handsome set. * Only edition. Written during the reign of Edward IV [1442-1483] and first published around 1481, Littleton's Tenures is probably the most revered treatise in the history of the common law. Much admired for its learning and style, it is concerned with land tenure and other issues relating to real property. This venerable work is considered a landmark because it was the first treatise to renounce the principles of Roman law (and Latin) in favor of a set of guidelines and doctrines drawn from the Year Books, and when necessary, hypothetical cases. Houard was a member of Parliament and respected scholar of the customary law of Normandy. His works include the four-volume Dictionnaire Analytique, Historique, Etymologique, Critique et Interpretive de la Coutume de Normandie (1780-82). As the title of Anciennes Loix indicates, Houard believed that Littleton's treatise preserved and developed a body of Norman customary laws dating from the time of the conquest. In effect, it was both a record of early Norman law and a contribution to Norman jurisprudence. Littleton's text is accompanied by a French translation and numerous annotations.

Gregorius IX
|
| Decretales cum glossa. [edito da Franciscus Moneliensis]
|
incunaboli, Venezia 1481 - In-folio (428x286 mm.), [314] c. l’ultima bianca. Carattere gotico (73 Ga per il testo), (73 Gb per il commento), testo su due colonne inquadrato dal commento su 72 linee, spazi per iniziali con letterine guida, incipit dei cinque libri e 185 titoli stampato in rosso, grande marca tipografica di Jenson in rosso al verso della penultima carta, interamente rubricato in rosso e blu. Legatura coeva di area tedesca in cuoio con impressioni a secco su assi di legno, dorso a quattro nervi, conservati i quattro fermagli metallici, mancano i lacci. Bell’esemplare, marginoso, qualche gora nei margini, alcune piccole macchie, note marginali di antica mano. Una fenditura sul piatto anteriore anticamente riparata. Bella e rara edizione veneziana dei Decretales con il commento di Francesco di Moneglia. Fin dal momento della sua assunzione al pontificato nel 1227, Gregorio IX aveva intenzione di pubblicare una raccolta completa e autentica di decretali che servisse ad eliminare quelle compilate da privati pur dopo il Decretum di Graziano. Nel 1230 il papa affidò questo incarico a Raimondo di Pe?afort, già maestro presso lo studio di Bologna e in quel tempo cappellano e penitenziere del pontefice; il 5 settembre 1234 Gregorio IX pubblicò la raccolta con la bolla Rex pacificus inviandola alle Università di Bologna e Parigi. Il motivo della collezione, come spiega la bolla di promulgazione, fu quello di raccogliere le decretali dei predecessori, fino ad allora disperse, in un solo corpo, dotato di autorità. È probabile che il pontefice intendesse altresì collocare definitivamente, anche nella forma esteriore, il diritto canonico all’altezza del diritto romano mettendo al riparo da qualsivoglia possibile contestazione il potere legislativo del pontefice. L’opera è divisa in cinque libri che trattano differenti materie secondo l’ordine indicato dal noto verso: iudex, iudicium, clerus, conubia, crimen; comprende 185 titoli e 1871 capitoli; vi furono incluse decretali di papi, da Bonifacio I in poi – particolarmente numerose quelle di San Gregorio Magno e di Innocenzo III – canoni di concili, da quello di Sardica al IV lateranense, passi ricavati dalla Bibbia, da opere di santi, oltre ad alcuni titoli tratti da capitolari franchi e dal diritto romano. La collezione di Gregorio IX, autentica e universale, emanata cioè dalla suprema potestà legislativa con valore di legge per tutta la Chiesa, una e esclusiva perché il papa abolì tutte le collezioni precedenti a eccezione del decreto di Graziano e tolse valore agli stessi originali delle decretali da lui raccolte, incontrò subito il massimo favore e fu ben presto commentata. La glossa autentica fu fissata in un primo mometo da Bernardo da Botone quindi da Giovanni d’Andrea; importanti sono altresì i commenti di Sinibaldo Fieschi e Niccolò de’Tedeschi.

Platina, Bartholomaeus Sacchi

| Vitae pontificum. [Liber de vita christi: ac pontificum omniu(m).
|
Anton Koberger, Nurnberg: 1481, August 11. - Folio. 293 x 203mm. [a10,b-6,s8,t6,v8.] [a1/a2? mounted]. 128ff. Late 19th c. 1/2 pebble-grain calf over marbled boards, some rubbing; marbled endpapers; the first leaf [a1r Hieronymus Sqarzaficus letter to Palatina. a2r Platina's Prohemium to Sixtus IV.as described in Bod-Inc or are these two separate leaves?-- From another copy? Another edition?] have been cut and are pasted to the verso of the endpaper without text loss ( their versos are blank),the first leaf of text is pasted to the fly-leaf at it's inner margin; a few occ. pin worm holes in blank margins, repaired tear in last leaf. Rubricated throughout with a 5 line red initial 'M' on the first leaf, 14-lie initial 'N; on first text leaf with white decoration. "Bartolomeo Platina, originally named Sacchi, was born at Piadena (Platina in Latin), near Mantua, in 1421; he died at Rome, 1481. In 1457, he went to Florence, and studied under the Greek scholar Argyropulos. In 1462 he proceeded to Rome, probably in the suite of Cardinal Francesco Gonzaga. After Pius II had reorganized the College of Abbreviators (1463), and increased the number to seventy, Platina, in May 1464, was elected a member.When Paul II abolished the ordinances of Pius, Platina with the other new members was deprived of his office. Angered by this, he wrote a pamphlet insolently demanding from the pope the recall of his restrictions. When called upon to justify himself he answered with insolence and was imprisoned in the Castle of SantÕ Angelo, being released after four months on condition that he remain at Rome. In February 1468, with about twenty other humanists, he was again imprisoned on suspicion of heresy and of conspiring against the life of the pope.After his release on July 7, 1469, he expected to be again in the employ of Paul II, who, however, declined his services. Platina threatened vengeance and executed his threat, when at the suggestion of Sixtus IV he wrote his Vit¾ Pontificum Platin¾ historici liber de vita Christi ac omnium pontificum qui hactenus ducenti fuere et XX (Venice, 1479). In it he paints his enemy as cruel, and an archenemy of science. For centuries it influenced historical opinions until critical research proved otherwise. In other places party spirit is evident, especially when he treats of the condition of the Church. Notwithstanding, his Lives of the Popes is a work of no small merit, for it is the first systematic handbook of papal history. Platina felt the need of critical research, but shirked the examination of details. By the end of 1474 or the beginning of 1475 Platina offered his manuscript to Pope Sixtus IV; it is still preserved in the Vatican Library. The pope's acceptance may cause surprise, but it is probable he was ignorant of its contents except insofar as it concerned his own pontificate up to November, 1474. After the death of Giandrea Bussi, Bishop of Aleria, the pope appointed Platina librarian with a yearly salary of 120 ducats and an official residence in the Vatican. He also instructed him to make a collection of the chief privileges of the Roman Church."[CE] Goff P769. Hain/Copinger 13047*. GfT 1152. Pell Ms 9503 (9325). CIBN P-444. Aquilon 542. Arnoult 1208.

in folio, cc. 155 a iniziare da A2 (manca A1 che e' probabilmente la carta bianca iniziale in quanto il testo come da registro inizia con Terentii vita'), bella leg. moderna in p/pelle di vitello con nervieseguita dalle monache di Rosano il 9 ottobre 1975, come da scritta allinterno del piatto inf., monache che hanno curato anche il restauro di 6 cc.del libro (aggiunta di parte del margine esterno bianco alla 1^ c., riparazione di 4 piccoli strappi marginali, aggiunta di carta bianca a una c. mancante di parte del testo), incollato al nuovo ds. parte del vecchio ds. con tit., tagli rossi, glosse di antica mano nel testo e nei margini del testo con anche alcuni piacevoli disegnini, da cui si evince che questo testo e' stato accuratamente studiato, qualche leggera macchia senza alcun nocumento al testo; diverse iniziali ornate eseguite a mano. Il testo e' costituito dalla vita di Terenzio seguita da un'introduzione al genere letterario della commedia; quindi un commento su ognuna delle commedie di Terenzio, ciascuno introdotto da osservazioni sulla struttura, la storia, i personaggi e l'intreccio, il tutto a cura di Elio Donato, il piu' grande grammatico latino del IV secolo, denominato clarissimus per la sua grande fama. La biografia proviene in grande parte dallopera De Viris illustribus di Caio Svetonio Tranquillo, opera andata perduta, e a questa il Donato vi ha aggiunto degli ampliamenti di fonte ignota Di questa edizione del 1481 ne parla con ammirazione Angelo Poliziano nel suo libro Le Stanze, le Orfeo e le Rime' dichiarando di averne visto un esemplare nella libreria della Nunziata di Bologna (v. vol. di G. Barberta di Firenze 1863 a cura di Giosue' Carducci, pag. 170). (AR) 875/17

Basel, Johannes Amerbach (ehemals Adolf Rusch, Straßburg) für Anton Koberger, nach 23. September 1481. Type 1, 2, 3, 4.. 4-spaltiges, 73-zeiliges O-Inkunabelblatt mit einer 5-zeiligen roten Lombarde, roten Rubriken u. rotgestrichenen Versalbuchstaben. Bibeltext vom Kommentar umgeben. Im unteren Rand etw. wasserrandig u. kl. Einriss. Blattgröße: 32,7 x 43,3 cm. Incunabula text leaf.. Alfred Hartmann hat mittels der Amerbach-Korrespondenz nachgewiesen, dass dieser "eindrucksvolle Druck" nicht wie bisher angenommen aus der Strassburger Presse des Adolf Rusch stammt, sondern aus der von Johann Amerbach in Basel (Geldner I, 63). Rusch und Amerbach, wie auch andere Drucker haben oft für den Großunternehmer Koberger gedruckt. Johannes (von) Amerbach (14xx -1513) stammte aus Amorbach im Odenwald und studierte als Schüler des Johannes a lapide an der Sorbonne (Paris), wurde Magister artium, lebte dann in Venedig (Johannes de Venetiis oder Hans Venediger von Emrebach) und ließ sich 1477 in Basel nieder, wo er es zu Wohlstand brachte. Amerbach war nicht nur ein tüchtiger Meister und gewandter Kaufmann sondern auch ein hochgebildeter Mann, der mit reichen Geistesanlagen und umfassenden Wissen der "gelehrte Buchdrucker" war (Geldner I, 118ff).

PLATINA, BARTHOLOMAEUS SACCHI
|
| VITAE PONTIFICUM. [LIBER DE VITA CHRISTI: AC PONTIFICUM OMNIU(M)... NURNBERG: ANTON KOBERGER, 1481, AUGUST 11.
|
Folio. 293 x 203mm. [a10,b-6,s8,t6,v8.] [a1/a2? mounted]. 128ff. Late 19th c. 1/2 pebble-grain calf over marbled boards, some rubbing; marbled endpapers; the first leaf [a1r Hieronymus Sqarzaficus letter to Palatina. a2r Platina's Prohemium to Sixtus IV.as described in Bod-Inc or are these two separate leaves?-- From another copy? Another edition?] have been cut and are pasted to the verso of the endpaper without text loss ( their versos are blank),the first leaf of text is pasted to the fly-leaf at it's inner margin; a few occ. pin worm holes in blank margins, repaired tear in last leaf. Rubricated throughout with a 5 line red initial 'M' on the first leaf, 14-lie initial 'N; on first text leaf with white decoration. "Bartolomeo Platina, originally named Sacchi, was born at Piadena (Platina in Latin), near Mantua, in 1421; he died at Rome, 1481. In 1457, he went to Florence, and studied under the Greek scholar Argyropulos. In 1462 he proceeded to Rome, probably in the suite of Cardinal Francesco Gonzaga. After Pius II had reorganized the College of Abbreviators (1463), and increased the number to seventy, Platina, in May 1464, was elected a member.When Paul II abolished the ordinances of Pius, Platina with the other new members was deprived of his office. Angered by this, he wrote a pamphlet insolently demanding from the pope the recall of his restrictions. When called upon to justify himself he answered with insolence and was imprisoned in the Castle of Sant Angelo, being released after four months on condition that he remain at Rome. In February 1468, with about twenty other humanists, he was again imprisoned on suspicion of heresy and of conspiring against the life of the pope...After his release on July 7, 1469, he expected to be again in the employ of Paul II, who, however, declined his services. Platina threatened vengeance and executed his threat, when at the suggestion of Sixtus IV he wrote his Vit Pontificum Platin historici liber de vita Christi ac omnium pontificum qui hactenus ducenti fuere et XX (Venice, 1479). In it he paints his enemy as cruel, and an archenemy of science. For centuries it influenced historical opinions until critical research proved otherwise. In other places party spirit is evident, especially when he treats of the condition of the Church. Notwithstanding, his Lives of the Popes is a work of no small merit, for it is the first systematic handbook of papal history. Platina felt the need of critical research, but shirked the examination of details. By the end of 1474 or the beginning of 1475 Platina offered his manuscript to Pope Sixtus IV; it is still preserved in the Vatican Library. The pope's acceptance may cause surprise, but it is probable he was ignorant of its contents except insofar as it concerned his own pontificate up to November, 1474. After the death of Giandrea Bussi, Bishop of Aleria, the pope appointed Platina librarian with a yearly salary of 120 ducats and an official residence in the Vatican. He also instructed him to make a collection of the chief privileges of the Roman Church."[CE] Goff P769. Hain/Copinger 13047*. GfT 1152. Pell Ms 9503 (9325). CIBN P-444. Aquilon 542. Arnoult 1208.

Bound in 18th-century 3/4 vellum over paper covered boards, vellum spine label gilt, all edges speckled red, inner front hinge separated through endpaper but holding well with its heavy rope visible, top edges shaved a bit close going into only a few headlines of the first book, a tiny puncture hole through extreme top corner of first few leaves, last leaf with a closed tear in lower margin not extending into text, a few finger smudges and a couple of early marginal notes in brown ink, a remarkably clean, bright attractive copy with no repairs nor worming. Josephus, a Palestinian Jew was of aristocratic and priestly decent. When the great Jewish Revolt of 66 A.D. broke out, he was appointed to command the rebel forces in Galilee.

Im ersten Teil des Werks werden von verschiedenen Ausgangspunkten mehrere Pilgerwege nach Jerusalem und den Nahen Osten geschildert, wobei vor allem die Heiligen Stätten und Kairo detailliert beschrieben werden.

HAYMO [of AUXERRE].
|
| Expositio in epistolas Pauli…, in Latin, MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM,
|
| [Paris?] 1481. Folio. ff. [ii] 193. [19, 2-248], complete. Lettre Bâtarde, double column ruled in red, 34 lines in brown ink in a fine and clear hand, running titles, ruled in red, rubrics and small initials in red and yellow, occasional side notes, vertical signature catchwords. Full-page illuminated t.p. comprising multicoloured floral and gilt foliage border enclosing double column ILLUMINATED NARRATIVE MINIATURES BY AN ARTIST FROM THE CIRCLE OF THE MAITRE FRANCOIS depicting St Paul enthroned in Gothic palace presenting his epistle to a messenger boy seen running across the fields through an open window; in the second miniature he delivers it to the erring Galatians, shown listening to a debate between a rabbinical figure and a Galatian, in a domed temple very richly gilt; 10-line gilt capital 'P', decorated with blue in the Lombard style; arms of Jean Budé (silver shield a bit oxydised) at foot. Eleven 10-12 line foliated initials of delicate red and blue heightened with white on a background of burnished gold inset with complex foliage commencing each commentary and ten large illuminated initials 5-9 lines high, of blue and red with delicate liquid gold foliated patterning at the beginning of the first chapter of each. The opening illumination is very lightly rubbed in one or two small areas with very minor paint loss, but extremely attractive, a few tiny wormholes neatly repaired to first and last pages. A very good, clean, fresh and large ms. in handsome late 18th-C straight-grained red morocco gilt, covers delicately framed with gilt rolltools and the spine richly gilt in 6 compartments, lettered in the second and third, attributed to Bozerian. Jean Budé's partially erased ms ex-libris dated 1481 on fol. 190, his arms at foot of first page, Nicolas Thoynard of Orleans' 17th-C ms ex-libris on second preliminary leaf, 'hic liber est Nicolai Thoynardi Aurelianensis', from the libraries of ?M. Loget (procureur-generale of Aguesseau, by inheritance), Joseph Barrois, sold by him to Bertram, 4th Earl of Ashburnham (his sale, Sotheby's 1901, to Belin), sold at Sotheby's 9 Dec 1909, Kundig of Geneva, thence to William Foyle in 1948, his sale, Christie's, 11 July 2000, to H.P. Kraus. An artistically lovely manuscript, commissioned by or for Jean Budé with an outstanding provenance. In the beautiful opening miniatures, St Paul is shown with his sword (in the first), enthroned against a backdrop of fleurs-de-lys, the symbol of French kingship, entrusting a messenger boy - in fact a depiction of Jean Budé's even more celebrated son Guillaume who was then 14 - with a recognisably mediaeval document with seal; through the open window, the messenger is then shown carrying his charge over fields to the the far-away land of the Galatians. The Galatians are gathered in the temple, listening to a richly-dressed orator, labelled 'Le Juif', presumably one of the Jewish converts to Christianity preaching against St Paul's teaching. The sense of distance and 'otherness' are represented subtly in the gold frame surrounding the miniatures, but also directly - St Paul is presented seated beneath a gothic frame of small-vaulted arches, while the Galatians are shown beneath an oriental dome. Each miniature is also, unusually, very thoroughly labelled. The rustic character of the carefully-rendered faces and the attentive details of dress reflect the Northern French, probably Parisian, origins of the miniature. The rich merchant by the messenger's side in the second miniature almost certainly represents Jean Budé, for or by whom, the ms was commissioned. The framing, style, and inscriptions of the miniature would suggest that it was produced by an artist near to the Maître François in Paris, where Budé obtained many of his important collection of mss. The present artist is perhaps connected with one of the two individual hands to emerge from this milieu around the 1480s; the Master of the Cardinal of Bourbon and the Master of Jacques de Besançon. The initials in this mss are of particularly high quality, and are distinguished by their precision and care, as well as by the generally superb state of conservation. The very large foliate initials opening each commentary, with their intertwined swirling leaves filling in the space between the letters and the burnished gold frame, are of an earlier style, and very typical of Books of Hours from Northern France. It is unusual to find them combined with the much more contemporary initials at the beginning of each first chapter which - in their use of liquid (rather than burnished) gold and silver - reflect the styles of Budé's own day and show remarkable delicacy and refinement. St Paul had founded the Christian community in Galatia, which after his departure tended to the teaching that in order to become a Christian, one must first undertake to live according to Talmudic Law, a belief St Paul decisively rejected. In his Epistle, he rebukes the Galatians, and calls them back to his guiding principles (which was based on the idea of justification by faith and works, and not by adherence to the Law). The author of the text, here identified only as 'Haymon' is now thought to be the scholar Haymo of Auxerre, who died in 865/6, and who was St Remy's tutor. This exegetical work was very popular throughout the middle ages, and was printed in 1519 (Strasbourg), 1528 and 1529 (Cologne). (Over a quarter of the manuscripts in Jean Budé's extensive library were theological). The text opens with a list of contents; the volume comprises St Paul's Epistles to the Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians,Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Hebrews (textually by far the longest part). The ms was commissioned by or for Jean Budé (c.1430-1502), notaire et secretaire du roy and audiencier de la chancellerie de France under successive monarchs, and father of the pre-eminent French Renaissance scholar Guillaume Budé, "le plus savant homme de France au commencement du seizieme siecle…il fut le restaurateur des lettres grecques, le conseiller fondatuer de collége de France et de la bibiliothèque du Roi" (NBG), as well as being a friend of Erasmus'.
