1482 - HYGINUS, Caius Julius. Poeticon astronomicon. Ed. Jacobus Sentinus and Johannes Santritter. Venice: Erhard Ratdolt, 14 October 1482. Chancery 4to (203 x 148 mm.). [58] leaves incl. blank a1. 31 lines. Types 3:91G (text), 7:92G (heading on a2r, title printed in red). Woodcut initials. 47 half- page woodcuts, probably designed by Santritter, of the constellations and planets personified. Small worm hole in a1-b1 affecting a few letters, stamp washed from lower blank margin of a2, a few very faint spots and stains. Modern tan goatskin binding, skillfully done in antique style. A very good, attractive copy. First illustrated edition, and the first book to contain printed representations of the constellations. The 47 delightful woodcuts--40 constellations and 7 planets--are attributed to the bookseller and publisher Johannes Lucilius Santritter. The woodcuts derive from illustrations in medieval manuscripts and depict animals as well as humans in medieval costume. The text, first published in an unillustrated edition in Ferrara in 1475, is based on Greek sources, particularly the Phaenomena of Aratos. BMC V, 286; Goff H-560; HC 9062*; Klebs 527.2; Sander 3472.

It is divided into two parts of fifty chapters each. The first part covers ancient times (to the great discoveries of the Renaissance), emphasizing the many naval battles, but also presenting the development of navigation and geography. The second part covers recent voyages of discovery and topographical description, drawing on numerous naval and maritime sources, including travel journals by European explorers. It includes numerous details of the voyages of Gerard de Veer in the Arctic, Thomas Cavendish, Sir Walter Raleigh, Le Moine in Florida, Thomas Hariot, and the exploration of the southern seas and islands by Magellan, Le Maire, Bernard Jantz, Sebalt de Wert and others. Part 1 includes Ptolemaic maps of the ancient world, while part 2 includes maps of North America, South America, the Strait of Magellan, Asia, Africa and Europe, based on those of Johann Theodor de Bry and others. The other engraved illustrations depict antique coins and medals, and ancient and modern vessels. The book is also a valuable source for naval architecture. The folding plate (31 x 44.5 cm) depicts an ancient Roman naumachia (staged sea battle) with about two-dozen ships in a flooded amphitheatre. Pages 592 to 608 describe North and South America, and pages 609 to 612 the islands around South America, New Guinea, Solomon Islands and "Terræ Australis."Morisot (1592-1661), one of the great intellectuals of his day, is known from several erudite publications, the present being the most important. He corresponded with many leading European academics, using this network to collect materials for his books, adding much to their diverse and encyclopaedic qualities. In this way his Orbis Maritimi, the first major work on naval history, reflects his intellectual contacts. A very good copy, with generous margins, with only minor browning and a small tear affecting a few words of text in one leaf. One map is printed upside down. The binding is rubbed and restored. An extensive illustrated encyclopaedia of maritime and especially naval history.

| Ablassbrief zum Besten des Kampfes gegen die Türken (Forma Confessionalis - Forma Absolutionis), datiert
|
München 1482. - Quer 4°. Gotische Type, 23 Zeilen. Schriftspiegel 130 x 230 mm, Blattgröße 207 x 280 mm. Rechts fast bis zum Text beschnitten, Papiermängel, Faltspuren, vertikaler Durchriss, ca. 20 Buchstaben ergänzt, alt aufgezogen. Mandelförmige Siegelspuren im unteren Blattrand. Verso alter Klebezettel (s.u.), Exlibris-Fragment und handschriftlicher Vermerk "Duplum Bibliothecae Regiae Monacensis". GW 32, Anmerkung 1. Copinger 5540. Einblattdrucke (1914), 23, Anmerkung 1. Xylographischer Einblattdruck, zugleich ein Probierstein der Inkunabel- und Xylographica-Forschung, über dessen Echtheit 1892-1905 im Centralblatt für Bibliothekswesen ein heftiger Streit unter führenden Gelehrten der Zeit entbrannt war (Schreiber, Dziatzko, Vouillième und Leidinger). Besonders reizvoll ist, daß explizit auch das vorliegende Exemplar darin erwähnt wurde und somit nicht nur eine Rarität, sondern zugleich auch ein Stück Buchhandels- und Forschungsgeschichte zum Verkauf kommt. Für Irritation unter der Wissenschaftlern sorgte insbesonders der Umstand, daß im Formular der Aussteller nicht handschriftlich eingefügt werden konnte (ohne Spatium!), sondern als solcher Petrus, Guardian des Minoritenklosters zu München, eingedruckt war. Dies schien den Befürwortern der Fälschungstheorie der stärkste Beweis zu sein, ebenso wie der jeweils festzustellende ovale Siegenrest am unteren Papierrand (K. Dziatzko in Centralblatt f. BW Bd. IX/1892. S. 338f., E. Vouillième, ebda. Bd. XXI/1904, S. 566, der beklagt, daß Exemplare "dieses modernen nichts weniger als seltenen Machwerks in den Handel gebracht und zu hohen Preisen ausgeboten worden"). Die Firmen, die zwischen 1898 und wohl 1904 insgesamt 5 Exemplare zu verkaufen hatten, lesen sich aus heutiger Sicht wie ein "Who is Who" der Branche, und es ist uns eine Ehre, unserer kleines Antiquariat nun dort einreihen zu dürfen: Gilhofer & Ranschburg, Baer & Co., Breslauer & Meyer, J. Rosenthal und J. Halle (Katalog 34, Nr. 78). Gründlich vermerkt V. jeweils die Verkaufskataloge, die Katalognummern und die Verkaufspreise. Aufgrund eines Lesefehlers hatte J. Halle eine falsche Beschreibung gegeben, worüber Vouillème sich besonders ausläßt. Dieser Rüge des von uns hochgeschätzten Inkunabelforschers verdanken wir nun, daß wir das vorliegende Exemplar zweifelsfrei identifizieren konnten, denn rückseitig findet sich ein alt montierter Katalogausschnitt mit der [falschen] Beschreibung und der Nummer "78". Die Echtheit des Holztafeldrucks hat schließlich eindrucksvoll Georg Leidinger bewiesen ("Der Münchener xylographische Ablaßbrief von 1482 ist echt", Cb.f.BW Bd. XXII/1905 S. 138-41). Er konnte die Auslösung aus mehreren Inkunabel des Münchener Franziskanerklosters nachweisen, die Siegelreste erklären und auch den Grund benennen, warum dort unverbrauchte Ablässe als Makulatur verklebt worden waren. "Papst Sixtus IV. hatte in der Mitte des Jahres 1482 die Ablässe zu Gunsten des Kreuzzuges gegen die Türken . widerrufen und ungültig erklärt. Infolge dieses Widerrufs blieben denn wohl auch die xylographischen Ablaßformulare des Guardians und Predigers Petrus vom Münchner Franziskanerkonvent unbenutzt. Sie taugten nur mehr zur Verwendung beim Einbinden von Büchern". Habent sua fata libelli.

| Campanus of Novara and Euclid's Elements
|
Franz Steiner Verlag - Euclid's Elements is acknowledged as the most influential writing on mathematics in the West at least till the end of the Middle Ages. Over the last thirty-six years several of the most important medieval Latin texts of the Elements have been edited. The most frequently used compilation remained, i.e. that of Campanus of Novara of the thirteenth century (before 1259). This version dominated Latin mathematics until printed editions were made from the Greek manuscripts in the sixteenth century. In 1482 the first printed edition of Euclid's Elements appeared in the redaction of Campanus, which was also the first printed mathematical book of any importance. 768p(Franz Steiner 2005). 9783515086455.

| Le grandi Alpi nella cartografia 1482-1885. Vol. 1: Storia della cartografia alpina
|
- 359pp, illus. Questa edizione si riferisce alle carte geografiche relative alle Grandi Alpi, pubblicate dal 1482 al 1885. La scelta di questi limiti cronologici non è casuale: nel 1482 viene infatti data alle stampe una carta della Gallia, inserita nella Geographia di Francesco Berlinghieri, in cui per la prima volta sono segnati i colli delle Alpi occidentali. Parimenti il 1885 è una data fondamentale per la cartografia alpina, perché il rilevamento delle alte quote diventa possibile grazie al metodo della fototopografia. Questo primo volume si riferisce alla storia della cartografia alpina, cioè alla scoperta lenta e graduale delle Grandi Alpi da parte dei cartografi. Priuli & Verlucca

- [Westminster]: William Caxton, [after July 2 1482]. 2 leaves, being (1) leaf of text CCLV and (2) the colophon leaf CCCCxxxviii. Both leaves are rubricated. The first leaf has old manuscript notes in the margins. In good condition. A great rarity. Though Caxton leaves are not uncommon (there have been three Caxton leaf books published, and occasionally stray single leaves turn up), it is of the utmost rarity to see a Caxton colophon. This colophon is 14 lines and begins: "And here I make an ende of this lytel Werke as nigh as I can fynde after the forme of the werk to fore made by Ranulph monk of Chestre / And where as ther is fawlte/ I beseche them that shal rede it to correcte it." and ends: "prayenge of all them that shall see this symple werke to pardone me of my symple / and rude wrytynge/ Ended the second day of Juyll the xxcvii yere of the regne of kynge Edward the fourth & of the incarnation of oure lord a thousand four honderd foure score and tweyne / Fynysshed per Caxton".

Lienhart Holl, Ulm, Germany 1482 - THE FIRST ATLAS PRINTED IN GERMANY, THE FIRST ATLAS MADE FROM WOODCUT BLOCKS, THE FIRST TO CONTAIN HAND-COLORED MAPS AND THE FIRST MAPPING OF THE WORLD BY A NAMED CARTOGRAPHER Super-Royal folio, with woodcut historiated and Maiblumen initials, ornamental woodcut borderpieces, woodcut diagrams in text. 32 full-sheet woodcut maps, 133 leaves. Rubricated and hand-colored throughout (the initials carefully colored in orange and green pigments and several color washes; rubricated with capital strokes and paragraph marks, and several missing initials supplied; yellow washes on text headings; the maps carefully colored in indigo, carmine, and green pigments, with additional color washes). A few early annotations. Seventeenth-century Italian gold-toothed vellum, with small tooled insignia of Cardinal Altieri, the future Pope Clement X Provenance: Pietro dal Verme (17th-century inscription) - Pope Clement X (Emilio Lorenzo Card. Altieri, died 1676); Prof. Victor Goldschmidt of Heidelberg (stamp); Robert L.B. Tobin References: Lloyd Arnold Brown, The World Encompassed, exh. cat. (Baltimore, 1952), n. 37; Rodney W. Shirley, The Mapping of the World (London, 1983), n. 10; R. V. Tooley, Maps and Map-makers (New York, reprint 1990), 24. The text of Claudius Ptolemy’s Cosmographia was translated into Latin from the original Greek by Jacobus Angelus and was first published, in Renaissance times, at Vicenza (1475), Bologna (1477) and Rome (1478). The sumptuous edition published at Ulm in 1482, however, far surpassed all earlier efforts and remains one of the most important publications in the history of cartography. This is the first redaction of the Geography to be printed outside of Italy, the earliest atlas printed in Germany, the first to depart from the classical prototype to reflect post-antique discoveries, the first to be illustrated with woodcuts rather than engravings, and the first to contain hand-colored maps, the design and execution of which were ascribed to a named cartographer. The Ulm edition, moreover, was the first to depart from the classical prototype by expanding the atlas to reflect post-antique discoveries about the size and shape of the earth. To the canonical twenty-seven Ptolemaic maps were added five "modern maps" of Spain, France, Italy, the Holy Land and northern Europe. The world map is of particular interest as it is the first to be signed, by Johannes Schnitzer of Armsheim, and the first to be based on Ptolemy's second projection, in which both parallels and meridians are shown curved to convey the sphericity of the earth. Schnitzer, furthermore, updated the Ptolemaic world picture by incorporating improvements that were probably based on a manuscript of the 1470s by Nicolaus Germanus. One notable addition is a rudimentary depiction of Scandinavia to the north, within an extension of the map's top border. The world map, moreover, embodies what is perhaps the most readily apparent feature of the Ulm Ptolemy: its beauty.

Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, 30 November 1482. - 4to. (175 x 140 mm.) Nineteenth-century brown morocco with triple gilt lines along the edges of both sides, gilt spine, inner dentelles, gilt edges, bound by MATTHEWS (rebacked, original spine laid down). Title on f. A2 printed in red, 4 full-page woodcuts: (1) a tree of oratory in the first part (f.

Types 7:92G (heading on A2r), 3:91G (text), 6:56(75)G (inscriptions on tree cut), 91G (alphabet on c7r). 67 lvs. (out of 68: first blank (f. A1) lacking). Collation: A-D8, E6, a8, b6, c-d8. Unrecorded variant issue of the first printed treatise on the Art of Memory, illustrated with the first 'visual alphabet' by the mysterious Jacobus Publicius, together with Publicius's treatises on rhetoric and composing letters. It has been suggested that Johannes Lucillius Santritter edited this edition for Ratdolt. In our copy is the woodcut of a chess board on the recto of the last leaf, while in all other copies it is on the verso of f. d7! 'By the way': This is also said to be the first illustration of a chess board! Little is known of the author who says he is Florentine but may come from Spain. He lectured at Louvain, Basel, Leipzig, and in 1466 in Erfurt, where he after Pater Luder the second early-humanistic 'vagant' and teacher of Johann von Dalberg was. He is generally considered as one of the first itinerant humanists in Europe. In Erfurt he taught Greek for the first time and favoured Cicero as the best example for writing in Latin elegantly. His lectures were based on his own writings devoted to rhetoric and to the art of composing letters which were first published in Venice in 1482 (our edition!).(1) The book starts with the Oratoriae artis epitomata: A1 blank (lacking in our copy), A2r: Ars oratoria: author's prefatory letter to Cyrillus Caesar, A2v-E6v: text (De Civilium questionum: sive causarum generibus.De benevolentie captatione (A5r). De narratione inventionis parte secunda (A5v). Narratio iudicalis (A5v).De iurisiurandi veritate (A8r).De rumore et fama (A8v). De argumentatione (B2v). De ordine (B7v). De numero (E2v). De mode punctuandi (E3r). De dignitate elocutionis parte tercia ultima (E3v).(2) The second work is the treatise on composing letters, the Ars epistolandi: 'Ars Tulliano more epistolandi Iacobi Publicii ad Illustrissimum Principem Tarantinum Hispanie Ducem foeliciter (= Frederick I of Aragon; a1r), a1r-b8v: text (De officio et genere epistolarum (a1r) De speciebus generum (a1v). Diversi mode in diversis speciebus scribendum (a4r). De laude propria et aliena (a6r).

Ad studiosos viros (b4v). Ad medicum (b5r). Ad scholasticum (b6r). Ad foeminas (b6v).(3) The most important work is the third treatise, the Ars memoriae: 'Iacobi Publicii Florentini ars memorie feliciter incipit et primo prefatio' (c1r), Divisio memorie (c1v), De ordine locorum (c2r). Locorum qualitas (c3r), Inventio locorum (c3v). Numerus locorum (c3v). Imaginem abolitio (c4v). Exercitatio locorum (c4v). Cognitio mentis (c6v).

Einspaltiges, 34 -zeiliges O-Inkunabelblatt mit einem altkolorierten Holzschnitt (13,1 x 8,4 cm), einer fünf-zeiligen Holzschnittinitiale, Seitenzahl 24 von alter Hand, etwas fingerfleckig im Rand. Blattgröße: 19,6 x 26,7 cm. Incunabula text woodcut leaf.. Ausdruckstarker Holzschnitt. (Geldner I 1968, 67) Sehr selten! Der unbekannte "Drucker des Entkrist" druckte vom "Leben der Altväter" auch eine Ausgabe in niederdeutscher Sprache (H 8609). Mit den Heiligenlegenden des Athanasius (um 295 - 373) und Hieronymus (347 - 420) beginnt die, im Verlaufe der Jahrhunderte, ständig erweiterte Sammlung von Lebensbeschreibungen, Lehrgesprächen, Anekdoten, Parabeln und Ermahnungen der in den Wüsten Ägyptens lebenden Eremiten und Mönchsgemeinschaften. Diese Altväter-Literatur gehört zu den grundlegenden Schriften der monastischen Bewegung des Abendlandes. So schreibt die Benediktinerregel für die Zeit nach dem Mittagessen vor: "et legat unus collationes vel vitas patrum aut aliud quod aedificet audientes" zur Erbauung und Erziehung aus der "Vitaspatrum" vorzulesen (Aderlass und Seelentrost 2003, 216).

Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, 14 October 1482 First illustrated edition and the first depictions of the constellations, the beginning of celestial cartography. This series of 47 allegorical woodcuts of constellations and planets influenced celestial atlas imagery for over a century. The images derive from medieval manuscript sources, and depict figures in medieval European costume. These figures were reprinted, and copied, in numerous incunable editions, and were the source for the engraved images of Jacob de Gheyn and via the latter many of the images in Johannes Bayer.Ratdoltís medieval European figures drew on a tradition different from the Ptolemaic-Arabic iconography which influenced the maps of Dürer and most later celestial cartographers. Warner details those figures derived from Ratdolt that survived and joined the Islamic celestial imagery.The cuts were probably designed by Johannes Lucilius Santritter. Hyginus the mythographerís text on astronomy derives from Greek sources, particularly Aratosís Phaenomena. This text was first published in an unillustrated edition in Ferrara in 1475.Arnim Katalog der Bibliothek Otto Schäfer 171.2; BMC V 286; BSB-Ink H-459; CIBN H-334; Goff H-560; Sander 3472; Klebs 527.7; Warner The sky explored p 269 4to (218 x 157 mm), ff [57], without initial blank], first heading printed in red, white-on-black woodcut initials, and 47 half-page woodcuts depicting the constellation and planet figures; a fine, large copy, some leaves with deckle edges intact, in nineteeenth-century English red straight-grained morocco, gilt edges, with the ink monogram and inventory number of Otto Schäfer on rear endleaf. £22,000

Second leaf with a fine three-sided woodcut border, over 500 woodcut diagrams in the margins, & woodcut initials throughout. Second leaf with two lines printed in red. Gothic type. 45 lines. 137 leaves, lacking the final blank. Folio (305 x 213 mm.), early 19th cent. calf-backed marbled boards (second leaf carefully re-margined at head with no loss of woodcut image), spine gilt. Venice: E. Ratdolt, 25 May 1482. First edition and a magnificent large and fresh copy of this important book from the library of Harrison D. Horblit (sale Sotheby's, 1974, Part II, no. 341). "An epoch-making book from many points of view. It was the first attempt -- and a highly successful one -- to produce a long mathematical book illustrated by diagrams. In his dedicatory epistle to the Doge Ratdolt says that he had often wondered why the great output of the Venetian printing presses included so few and so insignificant mathematical works. He had discovered that this was due to the difficulty of printing the diagrams without which such books were almost unintelligible, and he had set himself to overcome the difficulty. He certainly did overcome it; and he did more. He not only produced a very beautiful book, but he set a standard for the production of mathematical books which lasted for a generation or longer."Thomas-Stanford, Early Editions of Euclid's Elements, p. 3. Provenance: Early Italian arms drawn in the roundel of the woodcut border of second leaf, with the abbreviated signature Bern. Bal., 1587. Early 20th century bookplate of Charles and Mary Lacaita, Selham, Sussex. Later bookplate of Harrison D. Horblit. This copy has dimensions identical to the Freilich example, described in the recent sale catalogue as "one of the largest...copies known of the 1482 Euclid." Preserved in a handsome morocco box.

Caxton leaf. Higden,

| Polychronicon.

[Westminster]: William Caxton, [after July 2 1482]. 2 leaves, being (1) leaf of text CCLV and (2) the colophon leaf CCCCxxxviii. Both leaves are rubricated. The first leaf has old manuscript notes in the margins. In good condition. A great rarity. Though Caxton leaves are not uncommon (there have been three Caxton leaf books published, and occasionally stray single leaves turn up), it is of the utmost rarity to see a Caxton colophon. This colophon is 14 lines and begins: "And here I make an ende of this lytel Werke as nigh as I can fynde after the forme of the werk to fore made by Ranulph monk of Chestre / And where as ther is fawlte/ I beseche them that shal rede it to correcte it..." and ends: "prayenge of all them that shall see this symple werke to pardone me of my symple / and rude wrytynge/ Ended the second day of Juyll the xxcvii yere of the regne of kynge Edward the fourth & of the incarnation of oure lord a thousand four honderd foure score and tweyne / Fynysshed per Caxton".

JUSTINIANUS Justinien

| Corpus iuris civilis. Digesta Iustiniani. Digestum vetus. Mit der Glossa ordinaria des Accursius.
|
Sous un autre titre et une autre collation, Siber avait auparavant édité le Corpus en 1482 (Hain 9542 , GW 7659). Rare édition incunable entièrement rubriquée. Grande marque de l'imprimeur au dernier feuillet, sans le nom de l'imprimeur. On notera par ailleurs qu'il n'y a pas de colophon. On sait que Siber a utilisé cette marque pour un autre de ses livres Lectura super I et II parte codicis , pour ses autres éditions, Jean Siber utilisait d'autres marques. En outre, on retrouve ce même dessin sur fond noir sur la marque de Teodore Ragazzone à Venise (Louis Polain : Marques des imprimeurs et libraires en France au Xve siècle). GW 7666. §Absent à la bibliothèque de Lyon et à la BN de France , mais également aux catalogues anglais et à la British Library. L'édition de 1488 semble beaucoup plus rare que celle de 1482 et celle de 1500 qu'on trouve régulièrement dans les bibliothèques, notamment à Bourg en Bresse. §Impression gothique (Le caractère n'est pas le Gothique allemand, mais un caractère plus lisible, entre le Romain et le Gothique) avec le Corpus de Justinien dans un rectangle central (2 colonnes, nombre de lignes variables) et le commentaire de Accursus se distribuant autour (72 lignes 2 colonnes), dans une police de caractère plus petite. Le Codex est distribué en 24 livres, noté en marge haute, en lieu et place de la pagination ou foliotation. Les titres sont imprimés en rouge. §Nombreuses annotations finement manuscrites à l'encre noire de l'époque. §Notre exemplaire est manquant des deux premiers feuillets blancs et peut-être d'un feuillet de titre (mais nous ne le pensons pas, le livre commençant par le titre rouge « In nomine domini nostri Iesu Christi... »),et des deux derniers feuillets blancs. Le premier feuillet de texte (a3?) a été découpé, et l'ouvrage n'en compte plus que le tiers , de plus La première lettrine accompagnant le titre principal (complet) en rouge a été découpée et retirée. §Plein Veau d'époque sur ais de bois. Dos à nerfs refait fin XIXe, avec succession de filets à froid formant des triangles. Plats découpés en larges losanges formés par des roulettes à froid (quadruple filet) , nombreux fers frappés à froid dans les losanges. Les coins sont recouverts d'une plaque de cuivre (ou autre alliage) clouée avec une protubérance, ornée de 3 fleurs de lys. Certaines parties des plats ont été restaurées, ainsi que les bordures. Trous de vers, épidermures. Traces de liens. Nombreux trous de vers en fin d'ouvrage sur les 10 derniers feuillets, constellant les marges , une galerie d'1cm de large avec perte de lettres sur les 8 derniers feuillets. Au livre XVIII, un feuillet portant une déchirure sur 10 cm en marge (sans manque). §La codification du droit romain (Le Codex, ou Corpus Juris Civilis) est l'oeuvre de l'empereur Justinien (527"565) et des deux écoles de droit de l'Empire Byzantin, celle de Beyrouth et celle de Constantinople, dont les professeurs nommés Antecessores ont étudié avec profondeur la littérature de droit de l'époque classique. La codification a été réalisée en quatre étapes, marqués par les oeuvres suivantes: 1) le Codex Iustinianus, 2) les Digesta (le Digeste), 3) les Institutiones (les Institutes) et 4) le Codex Iustinianus repetitae praelectionis (le Code de Justinien de deuxième rédaction). L'oeuvre entreprise par Justinien a été accomplie avec la rédaction de la collection des 5) Novellae (les Novelles) comprenant les lois de Justinien et celles de ses successeurs, majoritairement en langue grecque. Le premier des codes, le Codex Iustinianus a été rédigé par une commission dont les membres les plus illustres étaient Tribonien, plus tard protagoniste de la codification et Théophile, professeur de l'école de droit à Constantinople, et Dorothée. (On retrouve ces noms et le terme Antecessores sur le premier feuillet à l'encre rouge au côté de Justinien). Cette oeuvre fondamentale a exercé une influence déterminante sur le droit européen, dont celui-ci découle pour la plus grande partie. A la fin du XIIe siècle fut redécouvert le Codex, à l'université de Bologne, de cette redécouverte s'engagea la renaissance du droit Romain et la naissance des glossateurs, qui eurent une très grande importance pour l'avenir du droit en Europe §Accursius (1182-1229 ou 1260) fut un de ces fameux commentateurs, Jurisconsulte italien né à Florence, il composa, sous le titre de la Grande Glose ou Glose ordinaire (Glossa Ordinaria ca 1230), une vaste compilation dans laquelle il réunit les meilleures décisions des jurisconsultes, ses prédécesseurs sur le droit romain. *[ca 1488/90] Sl.

It is divided into two parts of fifty chapters each. The first part covers ancient times (to the great discoveries of the Renaissance), emphasizing the many naval battles, but also presenting the development of navigation and geography. The second part covers recent voyages of discovery and topographical description, drawing on numerous naval and maritime sources, including travel journals by European explorers. It includes numerous details of the voyages of Gerard de Veer in the Arctic, Thomas Cavendish, Sir Walter Raleigh, Le Moine in Florida, Thomas Hariot, and the exploration of the southern seas and islands by Magellan, Le Maire, Bernard Jantz, Sebalt de Wert and others. Part 1 includes Ptolemaic maps of the ancient world, while part 2 includes maps of North America, South America, the Strait of Magellan, Asia, Africa and Europe, based on those of Johann Theodor de Bry and others. The other engraved illustrations depict antique coins and medals, and ancient and modern vessels. The book is also a valuable source for naval architecture. The folding plate (31 x 44.5 cm) depicts an ancient Roman naumachia (staged sea battle) with about two-dozen ships in a flooded amphitheatre. Pages 592 to 608 describe North and South America, and pages 609 to 612 the islands around South America, New Guinea, Solomon Islands and "Terræ Australis."Morisot (1592-1661), one of the great intellectuals of his day, is known from several erudite publications, the present being the most important. He corresponded with many leading European academics, using this network to collect materials for his books, adding much to their diverse and encyclopaedic qualities. In this way his Orbis Maritimi, the first major work on naval history, reflects his intellectual contacts. A very good copy, with generous margins, with only minor browning and a small tear affecting a few words of text in one leaf. One map is printed upside down. The binding is rubbed and restored. An extensive illustrated encyclopaedia of maritime and especially naval history.
