OTTO VON PASSAU.
|
| A fine mixture of Christian and Pagan wisdom Boec des gulden thrones of der xxiiij ouden ende hoemen elken vinden mach ende van hoerren leringhen die si leren om te comen totten ewighen leven.
|
Haarlem, (Jacob Bellaert), 1484. - Folio. Modern vellum. With large woodcut printer's device on verso of last leaf, 24 woodcut illustrations of one of the "Old Men" teaching a young female kneeling in front of him, printed from 4 different blocks, and all initials suplied by hand, incl. several beautiful large initials richly decorated and coloured by hand in red and purple with fine penwork in the margins, text rubricated throughout. (1 blank, 3), 136 (=135), (1) lvs. The second Dutch edition of Otto van Passau's religious instructive work, first published at Utrecht in 1480. "The Golden Throne of the 24 Old Men" is the only work known to have been left by Otto Von Passau, a Franciscan preacher who lived in the second half of the 14th century. The work is to be dated at 1383, and represents a fine mixture of Christian and Pagan wisdom. It is divided into 24 chapters, each containing a lecture by one of the old men of the Apocalipse, teaching nuns and brothers of lay orders a way of life which will lead them to the "Golden Throne" of eternal bliss. Each lecture has its own theme, like the essence of God and man, mourning, confession and penance, love, hope, the sacraments, friendship, death, the chosen, hell, the last things, etc. The work remained popular until the beginning of the 17th century. The book is finely printed in a good sized lettre bâtarde, in two columns, with 39 lines to a column. It is also most attractively illustrated with charming woodcuts, printed from four different blocks, which came originally from Haarlem block books. The first four leaves contain the table of contents and prologue. Our copy is furthermore richly and beautifully adorned with decorated initials in colour supplied by hand and rubricated throughout. Good large-paper copy, with contemporary owner's manuscript entry on verso of first blank, and early 17th century manuscript provenance on blank verso of the Prologue.- (Sl. thumbed and waterst., rather severily waterst. at the end; margins of last leaves restored without loss of text).

|
| Qui comenza la nobel opera de arithmethica ne la qual se tracta tute cosse amercantia pertinente facta...
|
[colophon:] Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, 2 August, 1484 4to (185 x 145 mm), ff [1] 2-116 [1], with woodcut initials;annotations throughout in a later hand, coloured pencil numbering on a few leaves, some minor worming in b lank margins and gutter, some early repairs and reinforcement at gutter, not affecting text, a very fresh, honest copy, eighteenth-century blue paper wrappers, with paper label on spine, spine splitting, embossed stamps of 'Giosue Pagani Ragioniere' on several leaves, in a morocco-backed box. £60,000 First edition, rare, of the second commercial arithmetic published in Italy and 'the first great commercial arithmetic' (Smith). Borghi's text covers 'operations with integers, fractions, compound numbers, mercantile rules, currency, commercial problems, barter, and matters relative to partnership' (Stillwell). It was a staple of the Abbaccho classroom of fifteenth-century Italy, with its chapters on currency exchange and barter, providing the computational skills on which the trading and financial empires of all the Italian city-states depended. In his Commercial Revolution and the Beginnings of Western Mathematics, Van Egmond has argued for a close causal link between the techniques described in mercantile arithmetics and the historical advent of capitalism. (See also the similar line pursued by Frank J. Swetz, Capitalism and Arithmetic. The New Math of the 15th century.) 'This work is more elaborate than the Treviso arithmetic, and had a far greater influence on education. More than any other book it set a standard for the arithmetics of the sixteenth century, and none of the early textbooks deserves more careful study. Borghi first treats of notation, carrying his numbers as far as "numero de million de million de million" and making no mention whatever of the Roman numerals. In the same spirit he eliminates all of the medieval theory of numbers, asserting that he does this because he is preparing a practical book for the use of merchants' (Smith). 'The boys (there is no record of any girls attending these schools) began their training in the abacus schools around the age of 10 or 11, usually immediately after two years in an elementary grammar school where they learned the basic skills of reading and writing. They generally stayed in the abacus schools for about two years and were taught the basic principles of arithmetic and practical mathematics: how to write the numbers, how to multiply and divide, how to deal with fractions, and how to solve the basic mathematical problems. Sections of the course were also devoted to understanding the complex Florentine monetary system. The school even followed a familiar routine of lessons, exercises, recitations and even an occasional holiday party. It appears that nearly all the educated men of the Renaissance gained their basic understanding of mathematics in schools such as these, including, for example, such notables as Leonardo da Vinci and Niccoló Macchiavelli. When grouped with the earlier schools of reading and writing, higher schools of Latin grammar, and the educational apex of the university, it is apparent that the abacus schools were an integral part of an educational system' (van Egmond, pp 8-9).

[colophon:] Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, 2 August, 1484 4to (185 x 145 mm), ff [1] 2-116 [1], with woodcut initials;annotations throughout in a later hand, coloured pencil numbering on a few leaves, some minor worming in b lank margins and gutter, some early repairs and reinforcement at gutter, not affecting text, a very fresh, honest copy, eighteenth-century blue paper wrappers, with paper label on spine, spine splitting, embossed stamps of 'Giosue Pagani Ragioniere' on several leaves, in a morocco-backed box. £60,000 First edition, rare, of the second commercial arithmetic published in Italy and 'the first great commercial arithmetic' (Smith). Borghi's text covers 'operations with integers, fractions, compound numbers, mercantile rules, currency, commercial problems, barter, and matters relative to partnership' (Stillwell). It was a staple of the Abbaccho classroom of fifteenth-century Italy, with its chapters on currency exchange and barter, providing the computational skills on which the trading and financial empires of all the Italian city-states depended. In his Commercial Revolution and the Beginnings of Western Mathematics, Van Egmond has argued for a close causal link between the techniques described in mercantile arithmetics and the historical advent of capitalism. (See also the similar line pursued by Frank J. Swetz, Capitalism and Arithmetic. The New Math of the 15th century.) 'This work is more elaborate than the Treviso arithmetic, and had a far greater influence on education. More than any other book it set a standard for the arithmetics of the sixteenth century, and none of the early textbooks deserves more careful study. Borghi first treats of notation, carrying his numbers as far as "numero de million de million de million" and making no mention whatever of the Roman numerals. In the same spirit he eliminates all of the medieval theory of numbers, asserting that he does this because he is preparing a practical book for the use of merchants' (Smith). 'The boys (there is no record of any girls attending these schools) began their training in the abacus schools around the age of 10 or 11, usually immediately after two years in an elementary grammar school where they learned the basic skills of reading and writing. They generally stayed in the abacus schools for about two years and were taught the basic principles of arithmetic and practical mathematics: how to write the numbers, how to multiply and divide, how to deal with fractions, and how to solve the basic mathematical problems. Sections of the course were also devoted to understanding the complex Florentine monetary system. The school even followed a familiar routine of lessons, exercises, recitations and even an occasional holiday party. It appears that nearly all the educated men of the Renaissance gained their basic understanding of mathematics in schools such as these, including, for example, such notables as Leonardo da Vinci and Niccoló Macchiavelli. When grouped with the earlier schools of reading and writing, higher schools of Latin grammar, and the educational apex of the university, it is apparent that the abacus schools were an integral part of an educational system' (van Egmond, pp 8-9).

PERSIUS FLACCUS, Aulus.
|
| Satirarum opus.
|
Incunable edition of one of the great Roman satirists, edited by Bartolomeo Fonzio Venice, Dionysius de Bertochis & Pelegrinus de Paschalibus Bononienses, 10 September 1484. Sm. folio (292 x 205 mm). Vellum over boards (rebacked). Woodcut printer's device on last leaf (Device A), not rubricated (capital spaces not filled in), printed in Roman type: 110R and 83R. Collation: a-d6, e4; (28) leaves. One of the incunable editions of the satires of Persius with the gloss (commentary) of Bartolomeo della Fonte (Fonzio, or Fontius). According to the BMC, the text is 'reprinted, generally with the same page-contents, from the edition of De Tortis, 14 March, 1482'. Fonzio's dedication to Lorenzo de' Medici of 1477 is included on the verso of the first leaf (recto blank).Bartolomeo Fonzio (1445-1513) was a Florentine humanist whose achievements are on a par with those of Poliziano. Their early friendship later turned into enmity and unremitting polemics. Fonzio's commentary on Persius was first published in 1477 at the Ripoli press (Rhodes 315; Conway, p. 292); its dedication to Lorenzo de' Medici is reprinted here. His purpose was to firmly establish Persius as a satirical poet; it was not his intention to write a full commentary on Persius'work, but rather to give a clear and straightforward interpretation of the text and to free it from its obscurities.Aulus Persius Flaccus (AD 34-62), known generally as Persius, was one of the most famous Latin satirical poets. Born at Volaterrae in Etruria, he belonged to an equestrian family and was a relative of the famous Arria, wife of Paetus. He was educated at Rome, and became the pupil of the Stoic Cornutus, who exercised a strong influence on him; a fellow pupil was the Roman epic poet Lucan. He joined the group of Stoics around Thrasea Paetus, the senator who was married to the younger Arria. He bequeathed his books and a part of his large fortune to Cornutus, who accepted the books but not the money. Persius took no part in public life, died young, and left only a small amount of literary work: six satires (650 hexameter lines) modelled on Lucilius and Horace, and a prologue. Except for the first satire, these poems are homilies rather than satires in the strict sense, preaching an uncompromising Stoic morality as it could be applied to private life, and only incidentally touching on public life. He uses an incongruous mixture of styles and his language is obscure, but his moral sincerity is unforced and scarcely priggish when considered against the background of Nero's Rome.Satire I is a criticism of the poets at Nero's court and the contemporary fashion for elegant, unrealistic poetry, which Persius finds significant of the corruption of Roman virtue and hardihood. Satire 2 is concerned with the right use of prayer, mocking those who ask for external goods rather than virtue. Satire 3 is a diagnosis of the damage done to sick souls by sloth and vice. Satire 4 urges a young statesman (Nero?) to disregard public admiration and pursue virtue by examining his own character. Satire 5 is a eulogy of Cornutus, describing the simple and studious life the poet leads when in the philosopher's company; its subject is the rarity of true freedom-we are all the slaves of our passions or superstitions. Satire 6 is addressed to Caesius Bassus (a lyric poet commended by Quintilian) who edited Persius' satires after his death and is said to have died in the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79; it expounds the wisdom of living comfortably, but not covetously. Good copy with wide margins.- (Quires carefully washed; inner margins of last quire restored, with some marginal water staining).

Attempts to codify the body of canon law began in earnest during the Carolingian Empire. These efforts reached fruition between 1020 and 1025 in the twenty-volume Decretum of Burchard, Bishop of Worms. The next great step was taken in 1234 with the Libri Quinque Decretalium (1253) of Gregory IX, which formed the basis of the Corpus Juris Canonici. The Liber Sextus of Boniface VIII (1298), the last great collection of the pre-Reformation era, consists of updates and modifications. The Clementinae Constitutiones (1313) is a collection of papal legislation that modifies portions of the Liber Sextus. It was followed by the Extravagantes Joannes XXII and the Extravagantes Communes in 1325. All of these texts were edited after the Council of Trent in 1582 under the collective

| La Bibbia d'Oro Del Secolo Illustrata Con Miniature Desunte Dai Principali Manoscritti Medievali. Edizione Integrale Della Traduzione Del Vecchio e Del Nuovo Testamento Curata Dalla Conferenza Episcopale Italiana. [The Golden Bible of the Century]
|
European Marketing Projects 260 x 370 x 70 Mm / 967 Pages Cuir / Leather Roma Copy #1484 / 2000 2000 If there is a work that best represents the sublime mingling of art and literature that complete each other in a rare crescendo of beauty, that is certainly the "Golden Bible of the Century", the publishing event of the III millennium. When leafing through the work we see the most precious and mystical testimonies of medieval Christian art through refined illuminations, in gold leaf which evoke the manuscripts of Romanic, Gothic and Renaissance periods. To fully appreciate the completeness and richness of the catalogued material, remember that the documentation has been taken from the most important sources, including the precious Bibles of the Pantheon and Duke Berry in the late 14th century, the New Testament from 1250 and the Urbinate Bible, the most famous renaissance manuscript, where we can recognise the hands of Ghirlandaio and Attavante. A great and unrepeatable publishing effort that places this magnificent work among the most famous Bibles in the word and for future generations will be witness to the birth of a new millennium, where the unchanged Word of God will continue to light the path of believers for ever. The Golden Bible of the Century contains 280 illuminations and 1,400 illuminated capital letters coming from more than 70 European libraries and collections, which were performed by the best writers of the time. This way the spiritual unity of Europe and the Near East is clear and we gain a new knowledge of the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, between Hebrew heritage and its conservation by the Catholic church. In choosing the illustrations, consideration was given to the strict connection between the test and the image. Not only does the Golden Bible of the Century take its images from biblical and evangelist manuscripts, but also iconographic manuscripts, Psalters, pericopes and books of hours, so that it reflects the continuous contrast (that includes all literary culture) of the Medieval era with the stories and promises in the Holy Scriptures. The wide range of illustrations, Christian rather than millenary illuminations, gives an impressive documentation of the changed interpretation of the bible. This is also very closely tied to the change in iconographic representations, where we can recognise the antique conception of the world and faith together with the historic background. Numerous illustrations come from Codex in the Vatican Apostolic Library: = Illuminated Hebrew manuscripts show a tradition that has never halted. = Byzantine works of art with the coloured ornamental mats show the spreading of the Christian faith. = The Golden Bible of the Century contains some famous golden gospels by Reichenau and Echternach made for Otto III, Henry II and Henry III, the Pantheon Bible, the Gumpertus Bible, the Hamilton Bible and the Venceslao Bible, the Ingeborg Psalter, the Saint Ludovic Psalter, the Bamber Apocalypse, "The very rich Book of Hours of Duke Berry" and many other important and priceless manuscripts. In the Golden Bible of the Century we can discover the illuminations coming from important European Libraries and collections.e collezioni Europee. Copy #1484 / 2000. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

A fine mixture of Christian and Pagan wisdom Haarlem, (Jacob Bellaert), 1484. Folio. Modern vellum.With large woodcut printer's device on verso of last leaf, 24 woodcut illustrations of one of the "Old Men" teaching a young female kneeling in front of him, printed from 4 different blocks, and all initials suplied by hand, incl. several beautiful large initials richly decorated and coloured by hand in red and purple with fine penwork in the margins, text rubricated throughout. (1 blank, 3), 136 (=135), (1) lvs. The second Dutch edition of Otto van Passau's religious instructive work, first published at Utrecht in 1480. "The Golden Throne of the 24 Old Men" is the only work known to have been left by Otto Von Passau, a Franciscan preacher who lived in the second half of the 14th century. The work is to be dated at 1383, and represents a fine mixture of Christian and Pagan wisdom. It is divided into 24 chapters, each containing a lecture by one of the old men of the Apocalipse, teaching nuns and brothers of lay orders a way of life which will lead them to the "Golden Throne" of eternal bliss. Each lecture has its own theme, like the essence of God and man, mourning, confession and penance, love, hope, the sacraments, friendship, death, the chosen, hell, the last things, etc. The work remained popular until the beginning of the 17th century. The book is finely printed in a good sized lettre bâtarde, in two columns, with 39 lines to a column. It is also most attractively illustrated with charming woodcuts, printed from four different blocks, which came originally from Haarlem block books. The first four leaves contain the table of contents and prologue. Our copy is furthermore richly and beautifully adorned with decorated initials in colour supplied by hand and rubricated throughout. Good large-paper copy, with contemporary owner's manuscript entry on verso of first blank, and early 17th century manuscript provenance on blank verso of the Prologue.- (Sl. thumbed and waterst., rather severily waterst. at the end; margins of last leaves restored without loss of text).

Invloeden van de Verlichting zijn duidelijk aanwezig, maar zeker ook van de Romantiek. Humor, gevoeligheid en de voortdurende uitweidingen doen denken aan het werk van de Engelse humoristische schrijver Laurence Sterne. 'Gedachten van Jean Paul' is een bloemlezing uit zijn werk. Het zijn de eerste teksten van hem die in het Nederlands werden vertaald. Weilands uitvoerige inleiding wordt door Elisabeth Jongejan geprezen als "de eerste niet-vertaalde grondige en vaak ook origineele bespreking van het humor-verschijnsel in Nederland". Pas twintig jaar later, toen hier de "humor-cultus" zijn volle omvang bereikte, werd de waardering voor Jean Paul algemeen.

His purpose was to firmly establish Persius as a satirical poet; it was not his intention to write a full commentary on Persius'work, but rather to give a clear and straightforward interpretation of the text and to free it from its obscurities.Aulus Persius Flaccus (AD 34-62), known generally as Persius, was one of the most famous Latin satirical poets. Born at Volaterrae in Etruria, he belonged to an equestrian family and was a relative of the famous Arria, wife of Paetus. He was educated at Rome, and became the pupil of the Stoic Cornutus, who exercised a strong influence on him; a fellow pupil was the Roman epic poet Lucan. He joined the group of Stoics around Thrasea Paetus, the senator who was married to the younger Arria. He bequeathed his books and a part of his large fortune to Cornutus, who accepted the books but not the money. Persius took no part in public life, died young, and left only a small amount of literary work: six satires (650 hexameter lines) modelled on Lucilius and Horace, and a prologue. Except for the first satire, these poems are homilies rather than satires in the strict sense, preaching an uncompromising Stoic morality as it could be applied to private life, and only incidentally touching on public life. He uses an incongruous mixture of styles and his language is obscure, but his moral sincerity is unforced and scarcely priggish when considered against the background of Nero's Rome.Satire I is a criticism of the poets at Nero's court and the contemporary fashion for elegant, unrealistic poetry, which Persius finds significant of the corruption of Roman virtue and hardihood. Satire 2 is concerned with the right use of prayer, mocking those who ask for external goods rather than virtue. Satire 3 is a diagnosis of the damage done to sick souls by sloth and vice. Satire 4 urges a young statesman (Nero?) to disregard public admiration and pursue virtue by examining his own character. Satire 5 is a eulogy of Cornutus, describing the simple and studious life the poet leads when in the philosopher's company; its subject is the rarity of true freedom-we are all the slaves of our passions or superstitions. Satire 6 is addressed to Caesius Bassus (a lyric poet commended by Quintilian) who edited Persius' satires after his death and is said to have died in the eruption of Vesuvius in AD 79; it expounds the wisdom of living comfortably, but not covetously.

PERSIUS FLACCUS, Aulus.
|
| Incunable edition of one of the great Roman satirists, edited by Bartolomeo Fonzio Satirarum opus.
|
Venice, Dionysius de Bertochis & Pelegrinus de Paschalibus Bononienses, 10 September 1484.. Sm. folio (292 x 205 mm). Vellum over boards (rebacked). Woodcut printer's device on last leaf (Device A), not rubricated (capital spaces not filled in), printed in Roman type: 110R and 83R. Collation: a-d6, e4; (28) leaves.. One of the incunable editions of the satires of Persius with the gloss (commentary) of Bartolomeo della Fonte (Fonzio, or Fontius). According to the BMC, the text is 'reprinted, generally with the same page-contents, from the edition of De Tortis, 14 March, 1482'. Fonzio's dedication to Lorenzo de' Medici of 1477 is included on the verso of the first leaf (recto blank).Bartolomeo Fonzio (1445-1513) was a Florentine humanist whose achievements are on a par with those of Poliziano. Their early friendship later turned into enmity and unremitting polemics.

Oorspr. kartonnen banden Dongelmans 200719b, 201215; Saalmink II, p.1484 Jongejan, De humor-”cultus” der Romantiek in Nederland (Zutphen 1933) p.92-100; Moderne encyclopedie der wereldliteratuur (Hilversum 1967) IV, p.235 Rond 1800 was Jean Paul Richter (1763 - 1825), die schreef onder het pseudoniem Jean Paul, een van de beroemdste schrijvers van Duitsland, door zijn landgenoten op gelijke hoogte geplaatst met Goethe, Wieland en Herder, maar met geen van hen te vergelijken. Invloeden van de Verlichting zijn duidelijk aanwezig, maar zeker ook van de Romantiek. Humor, gevoeligheid en de voortdurende uitweidingen doen denken aan het werk van de Engelse humoristische schrijver Laurence Sterne. 'Gedachten van Jean Paul' is een bloemlezing uit zijn werk. Het zijn de eerste teksten van hem die in het Nederlands werden vertaald. Weilands uitvoerige inleiding wordt door Elisabeth Jongejan geprezen als "de eerste niet-vertaalde grondige en vaak ook origineele bespreking van het humor-verschijnsel in Nederland". Pas twintig jaar later, toen hier de "humor-cultus" zijn volle omvang bereikte, werd de waardering voor Jean Paul algemeen.

| La Bibbia d'Oro Del Secolo Illustrata Con Miniature Desunte Dai Principali Manoscritti Medievali. Edizione Integrale Della Traduzione Del Vecchio e Del Nuovo Testamento Curata Dalla Conferenza Episcopale Italiana. [The Golden Bible of the Century]
|
European Marketing Projects 260 x 370 x 70 Mm / 967 Pages Cuir / Leather Roma Copy #1484 / 2000 2000 If there is a work that best represents the sublime mingling of art and literature that complete each other in a rare crescendo of beauty, that is certainly the "Golden Bible of the Century", the publishing event of the III millennium. When leafing through the work we see the most precious and mystical testimonies of medieval Christian art through refined illuminations, in gold leaf which evoke the manuscripts of Romanic, Gothic and Renaissance periods. To fully appreciate the completeness and richness of the catalogued material, remember that the documentation has been taken from the most important sources, including the precious Bibles of the Pantheon and Duke Berry in the late 14th century, the New Testament from 1250 and the Urbinate Bible, the most famous renaissance manuscript, where we can recognise the hands of Ghirlandaio and Attavante. A great and unrepeatable publishing effort that places this magnificent work among the most famous Bibles in the word and for future generations will be witness to the birth of a new millennium, where the unchanged Word of God will continue to light the path of believers for ever. The Golden Bible of the Century contains 280 illuminations and 1,400 illuminated capital letters coming from more than 70 European libraries and collections, which were performed by the best writers of the time. This way the spiritual unity of Europe and the Near East is clear and we gain a new knowledge of the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, between Hebrew heritage and its conservation by the Catholic church. In choosing the illustrations, consideration was given to the strict connection between the test and the image. Not only does the Golden Bible of the Century take its images from biblical and evangelist manuscripts, but also iconographic manuscripts, Psalters, pericopes and books of hours, so that it reflects the continuous contrast (that includes all literary culture) of the Medieval era with the stories and promises in the Holy Scriptures. The wide range of illustrations, Christian rather than millenary illuminations, gives an impressive documentation of the changed interpretation of the bible. This is also very closely tied to the change in iconographic representations, where we can recognise the antique conception of the world and faith together with the historic background. Numerous illustrations come from Codex in the Vatican Apostolic Library: NEW / NEUF
