| Etymologiae (with De Summo bono)
|
Peter Loslein, Venice 1483 - Chancery folio. Textblock measures 275 x 194mm. Bound in full 17th century (?) vellum with manuscript title on spine and two pairs of leather ties (recently renewed). Foliation: [4], 101, [2], 28 leaves (the total of 136 leaves forming 272 pages). Signature collation: p4 a-h10 i12 k10 ?2 A-B10 C8 .Complete copy. Printed in gothic letter (with some quotations in Greek type), in double column, 58 lines per column. Initial spaces (unrubricated) with printed guide-letters. Full page woodcut illustration of the tree of consanguinity ("Hec est arbor consanguinitatis") on leaf e9v, woodcut 'T-O' map in text on leaf g9v, and other schematic woodcuts in text. Recto of the first leaf (p1r) is blank, on verso begins the Table of Contents of the Etymologiae (Registru[m] in libros etymologiaru[m].) which ends on p4 recto (verso blank). Text of the Etymologiae is prefaced with several letters between St.Isidore and Bishop Braulio (leaves a[2]r - a[3]r). Text of the Etymologiae begins on a[3]r with Incipit liber primus etymologiarum. Text of the Etymologiae ends on k10 verso with Finit liber etymologiarum Isidori hyspalensis episcopi. The following unsigned quire of 2 leaves contains the Table of Contents of De summo bono on ?1v-?2r (?1r and ?2v are blank). It is followed by the text of De summo bono occupying leaves A1r - C8r, and terminating with the colophon on C8r. Verso of the final leaf (C8v) is blank. Very Good antiquarian condition. Binding slightly rubbed. Front inner hinge a bit started, but holding securely, binding tight. A pencilled signature and faded small stamp of K.G.T. Webster to top of front free endpaper; two identical small round armorial stamps (of 17th century?) of an ecclesiastical library to blank verso of p1. A clipping from an early catalogue pertaining to this edition tipped to front pastedown. Some leaves slightly browned, occasional light staining or minor soiling. A few tiny wormholes to the textblock at the beginning of the volume (affecting a few letters), and to blank margins of a few final leaves. Top margin cropped somewhat closely with a few headlines or foliation numbers shaved, and touching the extremities of the 'tree of consanguinity' woodcut, but with no loss of text. A few leaves in De summo bono with early marginal notes. Generally a clean, well preserved and genuine exemplar. From the library of Kenneth Grant Tremayne Webster (1871 ? 1942): with his small stamp, and signature of "K.G.T. Webster, Cambridge, Mass., 1915" on front free endpaper. The Etymologiae is the highly influential encyclopedia of medieval knowledge, composed by Saint Isidore at the beginning of the 7th century AD. The Etymologiae present a systematic survey of the world according to Judaic, Graeco-Roman, and Christian civilization in the form of a vast thesaurus of Latin vocabulary, which supplies a more or less accepted or fanciful etymology for each term. It covers the liberal arts, medicine, law, language, geography and natural history, and constituted one of the main routes for the transmission of classical learning to the middle ages. Etymologiae presents in abbreviated form much of that part of the learning of antiquity that Christians thought worth preserving. The book provided a rich source of classical lore and learning for medieval writers. THE IMPORTANT 'T-O MAP' is included, in a slightly modified form, in this 1483 edition (on leaf g9v). It represents only the top-half of the spherical Earth. It was presumably tacitly considered a convenient projection of the inhabited parts, the northern temperate half of the globe. The 'T' in the map is the Mediterranean, dividing the three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, and the 'O' is the encircling Ocean. Jerusalem was generally represented in the center of the map. Asia was typically the size of the other two continents combined. In patristic geography the Earthly Paradise (the Garden of Eden) was believed to be situated in Asia, at the eastern edge of India.

Edition "valued on account of the emendations and notes supplied by Ritterhusius, the learned editor" (Schwerdt). Oppian is the name of two author of didactic poems in Greek hexameters. Oppian of Corycus in Cilicia wrote the poem on fishing (Halieutica) of about 3500 lines which he dedicated to Aurelius and his son Commodus (c. 170). Oppian of Apamea in Syria dedicated his poem on hunting (Cynegetica) to the emperor Caracalla, so that this must have been written after 211 and which consists of four books. The author evidently knew the Halieutica, and perhaps intended his poem as a supplement. Both works are printed here in Greek with the Latin translation.Browned in places; two marginal wormholes; bookplates of H. Gallice and Marcel Jeanson; flyleaves slightly damaged.

[Strassburg: Martin Schott, after 23 August, 1483]; [Strassburg: Printer of the 1483 Vitas Patrum], 5 February 1484. - 144 leaves (fols. 16-141 numbered i to cxxix) including the four blanks (first and last leaves and fols. 14 and 15); [266] leaves including the initial and terminal blanks. Double column 41 lines of text and headline for the first work 50 lines and headline for the second gothic type. Two separately published works bound in one volume. VERY PLEASING CONTEMPORARY CALF OVER THICK WOODEN BOARDS covers panelled and diapered and featuring several distinctive stamps (see below) each cover with five brass bosses (one a convincing later replica the rest original) original brass corner guards and catches remnants of clasps expertly rebacked in the 20th century with unadorned matching dark calf tail edge of text block with early ink titling. Both works vigorously rubricated with red throughout: capitals and important phrases struck with paint or underlined paragraph flourishes many mostly three- and four-line initials (one very decorative initial 11 lines high) and unusual undulating line fillers. With a handful of contemporaneous marginal annotations in a fine early hand. Small portions of calf missing from top and fore edge of front board leather a bit scuffed and dried other small defects but the binding very solidly restored and extremely attractive because of its well-preserved original elements. First work with intermittent minor browning and foxing one of the medial blanks with four-inch diagonal tear (once mended with tape and now with residual discoloration) a half dozen leaves in the second work with minor marginal dampstain at fore edge but still AN EXCELLENT COPY INTERNALLY: the second work in quite fine condition--with extremely clean fresh leaves and very ample margins--and THE BOTTOM EDGES OF MANY LEAVES IN THE FIRST WORK WITH THE ORIGINAL COMPOSITOR'S MANUSCRIPT SIGNATURES THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE TRIMMED OFF. First work: Goff A-237; BMC I, 93. Second work: Goff G-500; BMC I, 98. The seven books in the Compendium (bound first here) discuss the Nature of Truth the Creation the Fall the Incarnation Grace the Sacraments and the Four Last Things. On account of its scope and style as well as its practical arrangement the work gained considerable popularity and was used as a basic text in schools for four centuries. It has been attributed to more authors than almost any other Medieval text. The 1557 Lyon edition attributed it to the intellectual giant and Doctor Universalis Albertus Magnus (1206?-80) a prolific writer active preacher and influential teacher (of among others St. Thomas Aquinas). Compendium was included in the 21 folio volumes of Albertus' works published in 1651. However after investigating the various theories of authorship scholars now believe the text is almost certainly the work of Albertus' student Dominican theologian Hugh Ripelin more commonly known as Hugh of Strassburg. The second work Quadragesimale is a popular collection of Lenten sermons by the Franciscan preacher Conradus Gritsch that was frequently reprinted following its first publication in Nuremberg ca. 1474. These sermons celebrate the events in Christ’s life during the 40 days (Quadragesima) from Ash Wednesday to Easter and in doing so develop a picture of the truly Christian life. Gritsch's sermons convey their message in an unusually lively way a fact that no doubt contributed to their popularity. For example sometimes Gritsch asks why lightning is seen before thunder is heard or why one country is hotter than another or whether it is praiseworthy for a saint to mix ashes with his food. (The answer to the last question is no because to do so would constitute a senseless departure from the mean.) Elsewhere interest is maintained by such things as mythological exempla taken from Ovid. Like the first work this text was for many years erroneously attributed to another author--in the present case Gritsch's brother Johannes an Augustinian canon law scholar in Basel. The mistake was rectified by the work of A. Murith in 1940. The stamps used to dec [Attributes: Hard Cover]

| Simon Bening's Flowers Book of Hours (Das Blumenstundenbuch Von Simon Bening-Ohne Schmuckschlieben) Fine Facsimile Illuminated Edition of 16th Century
|
Faksimile Verlag Luzern. New Simon Bening's Flowers Book of Hours, 16th century-Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, München, Clm 23637Flemish Book Illumination at Its Finest Flemish Book Illumination at Its Height The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening ranks among the most beautiful works of book illumination in general. It is an impressive example of Flemish book illumination which in the 16th century was clearly at its height. Among all Book of Hours, this masterpiece is distinguished by two special features: first by the loosely arranged decoration framing the text on each page with flowers and birds; second, by countless variations of page layout within one and the same manuscript. In terms of decoration and layout, this work clearly is the unsurpassed highlight of book art at this time. Book of Hours as "Best Sellers" of the Middle Ages The golden age of Book of Hours began in the Middle Ages. Originally they only contained Latin prayers and were used by aristocratic laymen as simple books of personal devotion. Later, increasing emphasis was put on a rich decoration and beautiful ornamentation. The aesthetic aspect became more important than spiritual edification. The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening is one of the most luxurious examples of its kind. Bening probably was one of the last great masters of his discipline. A Star Miniaturist Simon Bening was born into a family of artists. Already his father was an illuminator, although no work has been clearly associated with him. Simon was without any doubt the most famous illuminator of his time. He was born in 1483, presumably in Ghent. He seems to have been active since 1500. In the years before 1519, when he was granted the rights of a citizen of Bruges, Bening must have worked both in Bruges and in Ghent. He was married twice and had five daughters. He died in 1561 at the age of 78. The Texts of the Book of Hours As all Book of Hours, our manuscript begins with a calendar, followed by an introductory prayer and pericopes from the four...

| SIMON BENING'S FLOWERS BOOK OF HOURS (DAS BLUMENSTUNDENBUCH VON SIMON BENING - OHNE SCHMUCKSCHLIEBEN) Fine Facsimile Illuminated Edition of 16th Century

Faksimile Verlag Luzern. Simon Bening's Flowers Book of Hours, 16th century - Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, München, Clm 23637Flemish Book Illumination at Its Finest Flemish Book Illumination at Its Height The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening ranks among the most beautiful works of book illumination in general. It is an impressive example of Flemish book illumination which in the 16th century was clearly at its height. Among all Book of Hours, this masterpiece is distinguished by two special features: first by the loosely arranged decoration framing the text on each page with flowers and birds; second, by countless variations of page layout within one and the same manuscript. In terms of decoration and layout, this work clearly is the unsurpassed highlight of book art at this time. Book of Hours as "Best Sellers" of the Middle Ages The golden age of Book of Hours began in the Middle Ages. Originally they only contained Latin prayers and were used by aristocratic laymen as simple books of personal devotion. Later, increasing emphasis was put on a rich decoration and beautiful ornamentation. The aesthetic aspect became more important than spiritual edification. The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening is one of the most luxurious examples of its kind. Bening probably was one of the last great masters of his discipline. A Star Miniaturist Simon Bening was born into a family of artists. Already his father was an illuminator, although no work has been clearly associated with him. Simon was without any doubt the most famous illuminator of his time. He was born in 1483, presumably in Ghent. He seems to have been active since 1500. In the years before 1519, when he was granted the rights of a citizen of Bruges, Bening must have worked both in Bruges and in Ghent. He was married twice and had five daughters. He died in 1561 at the age of 78. The Texts of the Book of Hours As all Book of Hours, our manuscript begins with a calendar, followed by an introductory prayer and pericopes from the four Gospels, followed by seven individual prayers of a full hour relating to the Passion of Christ; the text follows closely the Word according to St. John. The Office of the Virgin forms the core of the Book of Hours which is composed of biblical texts, such as psalms. The work is complete with the seven Penitentiary Psalms, a Litany, an Office of the Dead and several prayers dedicated to the Trinity, to the Virgin Mary and to various saints. The text is written according to the usage of Rome and thus is valid everywhere. So this Book of Hours could be used internationally without any regional limitations. The manuscript is written in rounded gothic, a uniformal script, and probably goes back to a single hand. The Fantastic Decoration The way the artist decorated the text pages of the manuscript with single motifs, is particularly fascinating. Simon Bening liked the experiment and used all possible variations of motifs. The result is a multitude of decorative elements hardly ever seen in book illumination. The individual objects are not framed and show hard shadows on the side. The viewer thus has the illusion that the objects are really disseminated over the whole page. A particularly impressive example are the little dragonflies which, apparently attracted by trompe l'il flowers, now delude the viewer. The motifs used in the book range from flowers to animals, and the flowers appear in the luxurious colours unique in book illumination. The Miniatures - The Work of a Creative Genius Simon Bening based his work on an unusually wide range of sources, reaching from panel paintings by Hugo van der Goes to engravings by Schongauer. In addition, he treated these motifs in a very creative way, changing them, modeling them, combining them and adding on other individual motifs. The miniatures, especially the calendar miniatures, not only depict major events but also everyday reality. Each motif seems to be interesting enough to be decorated in the utmost perfection, such as peasants on the field, carrying out diverse occupations, according to the season. There is also room for pleasure and delight: boat and sledge rides, and even tournaments take place. Each leaf of this extraordinary work is a testimony to the masterful art of Simon Bening. His work is distinguished by an unequalled wealth of motifs and an unsurpassed sense of imagination. The Fine Art Facsimile Edition The Fine Art Facsmile Edition contains 438 pages in the original format of 16.5 x 11.2 cm. It is decorated with 70 miniature pages and more than 300 pages showing a wealth of decorative motifs, particularly flowers, birds and other animals. The most up-to-date electronic technology combined with traditional craftsmanship guarantee a faithful reproduction of the original. All leaves are gilt-edged on three sides.

(The answer to the last question is no because to do so would constitute a senseless departure from the mean.) Elsewhere interest is maintained by such things as mythological exempla taken from Ovid. Like the first work this text was for many years erroneously attributed to another author--in the present case Gritsch's brother Johannes an Augustinian canon law scholar in Basel. The mistake was rectified by the work of A. Murith in 1940. The stamps used to decorate our binding are particularly intriguing although none could be conclusively identified in Kyriss or Schwenke. The most prominent is a snarling lion flanked by eagle stamps on the front cover and appearing alone within the diapers formed by the strapwork on the back. There are several attractive botanical stamps including rosettes and grape clusters and a small unicorn rampant repeated around the blind tooled central panel. $15000

ALBERTUS MAGNUS] (historically
|
| COMPENDIUM THEOLOGICÆ VERITATIS]. [bound with] CONRADUS GRITSCH. QUADRAGESIMALE.
|
[Strassburg: Martin Schott, after 23 August, 1483]; [Strassburg: Printer of the 1483 Vitas Patrum], 5 February 1484. - 144 leaves (fols. 16-141 numbered i to cxxix) including the four blanks (first and last leaves and fols. 14 and 15); [266] leaves including the initial and terminal blanks. Double column 41 lines of text and headline for the first work 50 lines and headline for the second gothic type. Two separately published works bound in one volume. VERY PLEASING CONTEMPORARY CALF OVER THICK WOODEN BOARDS covers panelled and diapered and featuring several distinctive stamps (see below) each cover with five brass bosses (one a convincing later replica the rest original) original brass corner guards and catches remnants of clasps expertly rebacked in the 20th century with unadorned matching dark calf tail edge of text block with early ink titling. Both works vigorously rubricated with red throughout: capitals and important phrases struck with paint or underlined paragraph flourishes many mostly three- and four-line initials (one very decorative initial 11 lines high) and unusual undulating line fillers. With a handful of contemporaneous marginal annotations in a fine early hand. Small portions of calf missing from top and fore edge of front board leather a bit scuffed and dried other small defects but the binding very solidly restored and extremely attractive because of its well-preserved original elements. First work with intermittent minor browning and foxing one of the medial blanks with four-inch diagonal tear (once mended with tape and now with residual discoloration) a half dozen leaves in the second work with minor marginal dampstain at fore edge but still AN EXCELLENT COPY INTERNALLY: the second work in quite fine condition--with extremely clean fresh leaves and very ample margins--and THE BOTTOM EDGES OF MANY LEAVES IN THE FIRST WORK WITH THE ORIGINAL COMPOSITOR'S MANUSCRIPT SIGNATURES THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE TRIMMED OFF. First work: Goff A-237; BMC I, 93. Second work: Goff G-500; BMC I, 98. The seven books in the Compendium (bound first here) discuss the Nature of Truth the Creation the Fall the Incarnation Grace the Sacraments and the Four Last Things. On account of its scope and style as well as its practical arrangement the work gained considerable popularity and was used as a basic text in schools for four centuries. It has been attributed to more authors than almost any other Medieval text. The 1557 Lyon edition attributed it to the intellectual giant and Doctor Universalis Albertus Magnus (1206?-80) a prolific writer active preacher and influential teacher (of among others St. Thomas Aquinas). Compendium was included in the 21 folio volumes of Albertus' works published in 1651. However after investigating the various theories of authorship scholars now believe the text is almost certainly the work of Albertus' student Dominican theologian Hugh Ripelin more commonly known as Hugh of Strassburg. The second work Quadragesimale is a popular collection of Lenten sermons by the Franciscan preacher Conradus Gritsch that was frequently reprinted following its first publication in Nuremberg ca. 1474. These sermons celebrate the events in Christ?s life during the 40 days (Quadragesima) from Ash Wednesday to Easter and in doing so develop a picture of the truly Christian life. Gritsch's sermons convey their message in an unusually lively way a fact that no doubt contributed to their popularity. For example sometimes Gritsch asks why lightning is seen before thunder is heard or why one country is hotter than another or whether it is praiseworthy for a saint to mix ashes with his food. (The answer to the last question is no because to do so would constitute a senseless departure from the mean.) Elsewhere interest is maintained by such things as mythological exempla taken from Ovid.

Privately Printed, Strassburg, Printer of the Jordanus De Quedlinburg 1483 - Folio, sevententh century sheep over original bevelled wooden boards, some wear and scuffiing, name clipped from blank upper edge of first leaf, few minor stains, last portion with minor damp spotting to upper corners, few insignificant wormholes in blank areas of last several leaves, blank upper tip of final leaf renewed, very large copy with many uncut lower edges and preserving contemporary manuscript catchwords and signature marks. Jordan of Quedlinburg, noted Augustinian scholar, is remembered for his biography of St. Augustine as well as for his work in the reorganization of the Augustines, leading to their emergence as a mendicant order. The unknown printer of this work is yet the subject of scholarly research; his eponym, "Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg," was first assigned by Proctor in l898; Voullieme in 1915 assigned the output of this press to Georg Husner. In 1966, Victor Scholderer questioned the attribution to Huser, concluding that the printer's name will continue to elude scholars. Scholderer comments that this important press which produced over one hundred books, remains one of thte most important of the yet unidentified presses. Goff locates copies of this work in New York, New Haven, Washington, Williamstown, Mass., and at Tulane University in New Orleans (apparently the westernmost location except for the copy we offer).

HUGH OF ST. VICTOR.
|
| De sacramentis Christianae fidei.
|
Strasbourg, [printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg (Georg Husner)], 30 July 1485. 1483 - Folio, 159 (of 160) leaves, complete with the blank leaves ff. 70 and 71, but without the final blank; gothic letter, capital spaces with guide-letters; an excellent copy in English early seventeenth-century vellum, old library stamp of Warrington Museum at beginning. First edition, described by David Knowles in The Evolution of Medieval Thought, as "the first attempt on the grand scale - for Abelard’s almost contemporary Theologia is a scantier outline - to give a really comprehensive view of theology in all its branches".Probably from Saxony or Flanders originally, Hugh (d.1141) came to Paris at an early age and joined the canons regular of the abbey of St. Victor. He lectured on theology in the famous school attached to this monastery, and was its greatest representative. He wrote a very large number of exegetical, philosophical, and theological works which exercised a profound influence on the scholasticism of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The De sacramentis is the most important: "Joined to the different approach of Abelard, it became the grandmother of all the Summae of the following hundred years. It is also important as being an extension of the Anselmian rather than of the Abelardian use of dialectic. Hugh employs logic and speculation to penetrate and to establish the doctrine rather than to build up an edifice of ingenious conclusions and deductions . The Victorine element in Aquinas is indeed very large" (ibid.).Contemporary English ownership inscription on first leaf, "Ad Joannem (?)modun clericum attinet .". Some contemporary MS annotations in the text in an English hand. Later seventeenth-century signature "Ph. Mainwaringe". Sir Philip Mainwaring (1589-1661) trained as a lawyer and for much of his life sat as a Member of Parliament for various constituencies. In 1634 he was knighted at Dublin and for the next sixteen years served as secretary for Ireland. As a result of his imprisonment by Cromwell he died almost a pauper.HC 9025*; IGI 4940; BMC I 133; Goff H535.

| SIMON BENING'S FLOWERS BOOK OF HOURS
|
Faksimile Verlag Luzern. New. Hardcover. pSimon Bening's Flowers Book of Hours, 16th century - Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munchen, Clm 23637/ppFlemish Book Illumination at Its Finest /ppFlemish Book Illumination at Its Height /ppThe Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening ranks among the most beautiful works of book illumination in general. It is an impressive example of Flemish book illumination which in the 16th century was clearly at its height. /ppAmong all Book of Hours, this masterpiece is distinguished by two special features: first by the loosely arranged decoration framing the text on each page with flowers and birds; second, by countless variations of page layout within one and the same manuscript. /ppIn terms of decoration and layout, this work clearly is the unsurpassed highlight of book art at this time. /ppBook of Hours as "Best Sellers" of the Middle Ages /ppThe golden age of Book of Hours began in the Middle Ages. Originally they only contained Latin prayers and were used by aristocratic laymen as simple books of personal devotion. Later, increasing emphasis was put on a rich decoration and beautiful ornamentation. The aesthetic aspect became more important than spiritual edification. The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening is one of the most luxurious examples of its kind. Bening probably was one of the last great masters of his discipline. /ppA Star Miniaturist /ppSimon Bening was born into a family of artists. Already his father was an illuminator, although no work has been clearly associated with him. /ppSimon was without any doubt the most famous illuminator of his time. He was born in 1483, presumably in Ghent. He seems to have been active since 1500. In the years before 1519, when he was granted the rights of a citizen of Bruges, Bening must have worked both in Bruges and in Ghent. /ppHe was married twice and had five daughters. He died in 1561 at the age of 78. /ppThe Texts of the Book of Hours /ppAs all Book of Hours, our manuscript begins with a calendar, followed by an introductory prayer and pericopes from the four Gospels, followed by seven individual prayers of a full hour relating to the Passion of Christ; the text follows closely the Word according to St. John. The Office of the Virgin forms the core of the Book of Hours which is composed of biblical texts, such as psalms. The work is complete with the seven Penitentiary Psalms, a Litany, an Office of the Dead and several prayers dedicated to the Trinity, to the Virgin Mary and to various saints. /ppThe text is written according to the usage of Rome and thus is valid everywhere. So this Book of Hours could be used internationally without any regional limitations. /ppThe manuscript is written in rounded gothic, a uniformal script, and probably goes back to a single hand. /ppThe Fantastic Decoration /ppThe way the artist decorated the text pages of the manuscript with single motifs, is particularly fascinating. Simon Bening liked the experiment and used all possible variations of motifs. The result is a multitude of decorative elements hardly ever seen in book illumination. /ppThe individual objects are not framed and show hard shadows on the side. The viewer thus has the illusion that the objects are really disseminated over the whole page. A particularly impressive example are the little dragonflies which, apparently attracted by trompe l'il flowers, now delude the viewer. /ppThe motifs used in the book range from flowers to animals, and the flowers appear in the luxurious colours unique in book illumination. /ppThe Miniatures - The Work of a Creative Genius /ppSimon Bening based his work on an unusually wide range of sources, reaching from panel paintings by Hugo van der Goes to engravings by Schongauer. In addition, he treated these motifs in a very creative way, changing them, modeling them, combining them and adding on other individual motifs. /ppThe miniatures, especially the calendar miniatures, not only depict major events but also everyday reality. /ppEach motif seems to be interesting enough to be decorated in the utmost perfection, such as peasants on the field, carrying out diverse occupations, according to the season. /ppThere is also room for pleasure and delight: boat and sledge rides, and even tournaments take place. Each leaf of this extraordinary work is a testimony to the masterful art of Simon Bening. His work is distinguished by an unequalled wealth of motifs and an unsurpassed sense of imagination. /ppThe Fine Art Facsimile Edition /ppThe Fine Art Facsmile Edition contains 438 pages in the original format of 16.5 x 11.2 cm. It is decorated with 70 miniature pages and more than 300 pages showing a wealth of decorative motifs, particularly flowers, birds and other animals. The most up-to-date electronic technology combined with traditional craftsmanship guarantee a faithful reproduction of the original. All leaves are gilt-edged on three sides. The edition is strictly limted to 980 numbered copies. /ppThe Fine Art Facsimile Edition with two gold-plated clasps is sold out. This listing is for the standard Fine Art Facsimile Edition which is bound in red velvet. /ppThe Commentary Volume /ppThe Fine Art Facsimile Edition and the commentary volume are available in a protective case in acrylic glass. /ppDocumentation Kit/ppA documentation kit containing three full-sized leaves from the Fine Art Facsimile Edition and an illustrated 12-page information brochure is available for trial upon request. /p .

Bautista de Tortis, 1483, 3 de Agosto, Venecia: - 77 hojas, sin la última blanca. Signaturas a-n6. Encuadernación del siglo pasado en piel con hierros secos en lomo y planos. Goff J 646. CIBN J-360. IGI 5584. IBE 3388 (un único ejemplar en la Real Colegiata de San Isidoro de Leon). Las Sátiras de Juvenal (65-128) son el caso paradigmático de literatura satírica y de revisión envenenada de la miseria de algunos hombres. Contrario a la decadencia del Imperio, Juvenal raza un retrato ácido y despiadado de sus contemporáneos. Las 16 sátiras, repartidas en cinco libros, pueden fecharse por sus alusiones cronológicas entre el 100 y el 128.Muy conocidas son las expresiones de más fortuna que escribió: panem et circenses, refiriéndose a las costumbres de los romanos en tiempos del Imperio, Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (¿Quién vigilará a los propios vigilantes?, Mens sana in corpore sano. Los comentarios de Calderino, Mancinello (1452-1506) y Merula (ca. 1430-1494) abrazan la obra y la enriquecen y traen la justificación de su sentido satírico a la realidad del siglo xv y aun a la del nuestro. Es obra de referencia obligada en la historia de la literatura. La edición original se publicó hacia 1470.

|
[Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg (Georg Husner)], Strassburg: Sept. 1, 1488 / / Johan Koelhoff, Lubeck Colonie [Cologne]: 1487. - Three works in one. 1. Rationale Divinorum. 264 leaves. Title page mounted, with loss of blank portion. First signature with damp damage, but no real loss of text. 2. Manipulus curator(um). 68 leaves. Some light marginal damping. Some marginal worm holes. 3. Ars predicandi. 16 leaves (last blank) printed continuously with the preceding work. Last few leaves wormed and damped with some slight loss. Gothic Latin text. Double column. Folio. 215 x 310 mm. The original, highly decorated leather boards are preserved over a modern leather binding. The boards are blind tooled with: sixteen small stamps showing a rampant lion within a diamond frames; ten small madonna stamps in circular frames; and a lettered mari(a) ribbon stamp repeated over forty times. Though much of the decoration has perished, and what remains is worn - this is a wonderful survival of a fifteenth century binding. When all the prescriptions for celebration of the liturgy are gathered into a single volume, that book is termed an ordinal. If a book contains only the directions for sacraments administered by a bishop, it is called a pontifical. Over time, the ceremonial was studied by authors who attempted to explain its allegory and codify its practice; and the most complete of such treatises, the Rationale divinorum officiorum, was composed in 1286 by Guilelmus Durandus, Bishop of Mende [Ca. 1230-1296], also known as Duranti or Durantis. He was born at Puimisson, near Beziers, of a noble family of Languedoc. He studied law at Bologna, especially with Bernardus of Parma, and about 1264 was teaching canon law with success at Modena. Clement IV., his fellow-countryman, called him to the pontifical court as a chaplain and auditor of the palace, and in 1274 he accompanied Clement's successor Gregory X. to the council of Lyons, the constitutions of which he drew up, along with some other prelates. In the midst of the struggles between Guelfs and Ghibellines, Durandus successfully defended the papal territories, both by diplomacy and by arms. Honorius IV. retained him in his offices, and although elected bishop of Mende in 1286, he remained in Italy (with a few absences) until his death. His principal work is the 'Speculum judiciae' - a general explanation of civil, criminal and canonical procedure, and contracts. Scarcely less important is this 'Rationale Divinorum' - a liturgical treatise written in Italy before 1286, on the origin and symbolic sense of the Christian ritual. It presents a picture of the liturgy of the 13th century in the West, studied in its various forms, its traditional sources, and its relation to the church buildings and furniture. It is one of the main authorities on Western liturgies. The 'Manipulus Curatorum' of Guy de Montrocher and the appended 'Ars Predicandi' are among the most important of the practical manuals written for the use of the priests in the middle ages. They were "read to death" by generations of priests, which helps explain the incredible scarcity of the edition offered here. References: 1. Goff D 434; BMC I 138; Walsh 236; GKW 9135; Hain 6494. 2.

HUGH OF ST. VICTOR.
|
| De sacramentis Christianae fidei.
|
Strasbourg, [printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg (Georg Husner)], 30 July 1485. 1483 Folio,159 (of 160) leaves, complete with the blank leaves ff. 70 and 71, but without the final blank; gothic letter, capital spaces with guide-letters; an excellent copy in English early seventeenth-century vellum, old library stamp of Warrington Museum at beginning. First edition, described by David Knowles in The Evolution of Medieval Thought, as “the first attempt on the grand scale - for Abelard’s almost contemporary Theologia is a scantier outline - to give a really comprehensive view of theology in all its branches”.Probably from Saxony or Flanders originally, Hugh (d.1141) came to Paris at an early age and joined the canons regular of the abbey of St. Victor. He lectured on theology in the famous school attached to this monastery, and was its greatest representative. He wrote a very large number of exegetical, philosophical, and theological works which exercised a profound influence on the scholasticism of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The De sacramentis is the most important: “Joined to the different approach of Abelard, it became the grandmother of all the Summae of the following hundred years. It is also important as being an extension of the Anselmian rather than of the Abelardian use of dialectic. Hugh employs logic and speculation to penetrate and to establish the doctrine rather than to build up an edifice of ingenious conclusions and deductions ... The Victorine element in Aquinas is indeed very large” (ibid.).Contemporary English ownership inscription on first leaf, “Ad Joannem (?)modun clericum attinet ...”. Some contemporary MS annotations in the text in an English hand. Later seventeenth-century signature “Ph. Mainwaringe”. Sir Philip Mainwaring (1589-1661) trained as a lawyer and for much of his life sat as a Member of Parliament for various constituencies. In 1634 he was knighted at Dublin and for the next sixteen years served as secretary for Ireland. As a result of his imprisonment by Cromwell he died almost a pauper.HC 9025*; IGI 4940; BMC I 133; Goff H535.

| Sermones et de sanctis.

Par l'imprimeur du Jordianus de Quedlinburg de 1483, Strasbourg 1484 - In-folio, sans pagination ni foliotation, ni réclame. 252 feuillets sur 255. Manquent la page de titre, 1 feuillet après la table, et 1 feuillet. L'ouvrage se présente dans une demi-reliure de l'époque, laissant apparaître les ais de bois d'origine ; l'incrustation du fermoir, à même le bois, indique qu'il s'agit effectivement d'une demi-reliure du type de celles qu'on pouvait rencontrer à Strasbourg à la fin du XVè s : une sorte de reliure d'attente composée de 2 ais de bois destinés à servir de support à une reliure plus ouvragée. Texte imprimé sur 2 colonnes en gothique. Quelques mouillures, manques au dos. Les gardes ont été renforcées par un parchemin manuscrit du XVè s. Intéressant spécimen de demi-reliure germanique ; en effet, certains incunables d'origine allemande possédaient une demi-reliure, laissant apparaître le bois nu ; il s'agit d'un équivalent de la brochure d'attente. Sur la tranche inférieure du volume, on peut lire un titre manuscrit à la plume. Cette façon de ranger les ouvrages en laissant apparaître les tranches est un usage archaïque habituel dans la plupart des grandes bibliothèques du Moyen-âge. Ce type de couverture ne se rencontre que rarement dans son état d'origine. La présence de 2 textes imprimés à une année d'intervalle par le même imprimeur semble indiquer que ces volumes ont été acquis et reliés dans la ville de Strasbourg même, aux environs des années 1483-85.

GIOVIO Paolo.
|
| COMENTARIO DE LE COSE DE’ TURCHI di... Vescovo di Nocera, a Carlo Quinto Imperatore Augusto.
|
S.l. n.d., [XVI sec.] in-16, ccnn 36, bella rileg. pergamena da antico codice. Una delle poche opere scritte in volgare dal celebre storico e umanista originario di Como (1483-1552). Dedicata a Carlo V fu forse composta in occasione della crociata organizzata dall’Imperatore nel 1532. Il trattato dimostra la profonda conoscenza che l’A. aveva della politica e cultura turca: vi discute delle misure sanitarie che questi adottavano in guerra, delle tattiche militari, con una certa stima per le qualità belliche che rendevano gli Ottomani avversari assai temibili. Sono note edizioni simili a questa stampate a Venezia nel 1540 ma con piccole differenze. Raro. [303]
