Zwolle, Pieter van Os van Breda, 1495, on Ascension Day, in May.. Small folio. Nineteenth century red calf, spine ribbed and with gilt title, sides blind-stamped, g.e., preserved in slipcase. With woodcut printer's device at the end of the preliminaries and at the end of the book, full-page woodcut of the Virgin manifesting herself to S. Bernard, full-page woodcut of the Annunciation at the beginning of the main text, full-page woodcut of the Saviour on verso of last blank, and 18 woodcuts in text, all hand coloured, several half-page, showing the Circumcision, Jesus presented in the Temple, Mary meeting Elisabeth, etc., the smaller ones showing Christ raising from his grave, the Holy Trinity, Saints, etc., initials supplied in red, rubricated throughout. (4), CCLXXIIII (= 275), (1) lvs.. Richly and most beautifully illustrated Dutch incunable, containing the sermons of S. Bernard of Clairvaux, both for the winter and summer time, published by Pieter van Os van Breda, the first printer at Zwolle. Nine woodcuts appear here for the first time: the entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Descent into Limbo, the Resurrection, Pentecost, the Assumption, and three cuts of saints. The fine full-page woodcuts of the Annunciation, and of the Blessed Virgin appeared in earlier Zwolle editions and have been produced by woodcutters at Zwolle. The other woodcuts used were bought by Pieter van Os from the stocks of Gerard Leeu at Gouda, and Jacob Bellaert at Haarlem. The small woodcut printer's device shows two shields hanging from a branch with a six-pointed star inbetween, the left shield bearing the coat-of-arms of Zwolle and the right shield the printer's mark. The book is finely printed in a firm Gothic type, in two columns, with 40 lines to a page. Some errors occur in the numbering of the leaves, LI is skipped but corrected by LVII present twice, idem LXXX present three times, corrected by skipping LXXXI and LXXXIII, but between CCLXVII and CCLXVIII an extra CCLXI occurs which brings the total on 275 instead of 274. The woodcuts were studied by Hind and Conway, Hind drawing special attention to the title-woodcut of S. Bernard's vision, which he considered one of the finest Dutch woodcuts of the period. Good copy. With the bookplate of Dyson-Perrins.- (Binding sl. rubbed; a few stains).

| Chinese Title: CH'IU YING [QIU YING]: PAINTINGS OF BEAUTIFULCHINESE WOMEN. Japanese Title: KYU EI BIJIN GA SHUU HO SEI: PAINTINGS OF BEAUTIFUL CHINESE WOMEN DONE AFTER MASTER QIU YING.
|
A LOVELY AND VERY LONG HAND-PAINTED 19TH CENTURY HAND SCROLL [Japan 19th century]. Hand scroll, silk brocade outer cloth, ribbon tie, ivory clip, painted on fine hand-made paper some with crushed mica powder, giving a sparkling look, very long 27.5 x 6m.48 cm. length,very good, clean,22 color paintings. A most charming and lovely Nanga school painted long scroll. The work shows the more tropical looking foliage of South China. The work is entirely devoted to Chinese beautiful women of the Ming dynasty. This work was done after the painted hand-scroll work done by the most celebrated Qiu Ying [1495-1522]. It contains some twenty-two scenes depicting the most celebrated beauties of Chinese history. Each is delicately painted in pastels, with a steady and fine hand in very thin outline. The surrounding scenery is beautifully executed in much detail, as are the architectural accommodations. Each painting is preceded by the name of the lady, and a brief comment about her charms and celebrity. Each is clad the most stunning and beautiful garments, elaborate coiffeur, some hold various kinds of fans, One lady plays a long-thin flute while serenading a Phoenix. Another sits while playing her lute while a white crane observes, others draw and paint scrolls or screens, some write in books, Lovely altars are depicted with small Buddhist statues, Chinese books and other scholar's desk articles. One shows a most pious lady saying her prayers while on a lovely mat with a censor adjacent. * BIBLIOGRAPHY: Andrew Pekarik: THE THIRTY-SIX IMMORTAL WOMEN POETS. Our item seems to be related to this, in that it reflects a common theme and bond. While the Japanese emulated much of Chinese culture and traditions, this book offers a good example of what and how the Japanese thought of such works as the Qiu Ying scroll. * Color scans can be sent by email.Images displayed may not be the actual copy in stock for sale at any given time; if you want to see the exact image of the book or edition in stock, please request this by email and an image will be returned to you by attachment. !!

(143) lvs. Superb Humanist "Sammelband" with the collected works of three classical authors, in a fine contemporary Strasbourg binding, cf. Krisby 147. The three works also are typographical harmonious, with text in a well-sized Roman type, surrounded on three sides by the commentaries printed in a more compact smaller type, in the first and third work including fine Greek types. For Horace these are the 5th century pseudo-Acron scholia and the commentaries by the 3rd century scholar Porphyrion, and by two 15th century humanists: Christophoro Landino and Antonio Mancinelli. The Persius appears here for the first time with the notes by the three 15th century Italians: Giovanni Britannico, Bartelomeo Fonti, and Giovanni Bonardi. The present Reggio Emilia imprint of the Juvenal is the second edition only of Britannico's commentary, and is so rare that it was unknown to Schweiger.

The exceedingly scarce very first edition of Alexander of Aphrodisias' hugely influential commentary on Aristotle's "De Anima"; the enormously important first printing of Girolamo Donato's (1457-1511) translation from the Greek, which came to influence almost all original philosophy of the Renaissance with its hugely controversial exposition of the impossibility of the immortality of the individual soul, interpreted from Aristotle's "De Anima" -"On the Soul"- one of the most influential and commented on philosophical works of all times. If one question is to be pointed out as the main philosophical one of the Renaissance, it is that of the soul's relation to reason or intelligence. "This was the question of his (Pomponazzi's) time. "Anima" and "Intellectus" were then the watchwords of the schools: their relation, or the nature of "anima intellective", was the point round which discussion moved and on which was invoked the authority of Averroes, Alexander or St Thomas. When the audiences in the Italian class-rooms called out "Quid de anima?" this was the subject which they desired to hear treated." (Douglas, p. 74). And if the new interpretation of Aristotle that affected all of Renaissance philosophy had one representative authority, it was Alexander of Aphrodisias. "Pour couvrir cette tendance nouvelle, un nouveau nom était nécessaire: On trouva celui d'Alexandre d'Aphrodisias. Désormais Averroès ne régnera plus seul." (Renan, Averroes, p. 282). "L'immortalité, en effet, était, vers 1500, le problem autour duquel s'agitait l'esprit philosophique en Italie." (Renan, p. 283).The publication of this present work, the first edition of Alexander's commentary, was of the utmost importance to Renaissance philosophy, religion, scholarship and learning, and it greatly influenced the path of Aristotelian scholarship as well as almost all original philosophy within this period. Alexander came to influence all reading of Aristotle in the Renaissance, -a period, in which the "De Anima" - like it had done earlier in the Middle Ages - occupied the central role within the field of philosophy; -few other works have been so commented on and been of such importance to theology, philosophy, psychology and natural sciences in general. The work re-evoked a great interest in the sort of philosophy that was not primarily connected to logic, and it was the cause of the greatest and most heated controversies due to the obvious consequences its doctrines could have for the Church. "With reference to those works of Aristotle which were and remained the center of instruction in logic and natural philosophy, the most important changes derived from the fact that the works of the ancient Greek commentators became completely available in Latin between the late fifteenth and the end of the sixteenth centuries and were more and more used to balance the interpretations of the medieval Arabic and Latin commentators. The Middle Ages had known their works only in a very limited selection or through quotations in Averroes. Ermolao Barbaro's complete translation of Themistius and Girolamo Donato's version of Alexander's "De Anima" were among the most important ones in a long line of others. When modern historians speak of Alexandrism as a current within Renaissance Aristotelianism that was opposed to [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy]

RECVEIL DE CHOSES MEMORABLES.
|
| Französische Handschrift des 18. Jahrhunderts in brauner Tinte auf Papier, einspaltig, zu 24 bis 29 Zeilen,
|
(1) weißes Bl., 342 (nur anfangs numerierte) Seiten, (2) weiße Bl., Blattgröße 22 x 17 cm, nicht datiert (das sechseitige Register später hinzugefügt), in einem Lederband der Zeit auf fünf unechten Bünden, mit goldgeprägtem Rückenschild und reicher Rückenvergoldung, Stehkantenvergoldung, dreiseitiger Rotschnitt und marmorierte Vorsätze (Kanten berieben, Gelenke mit Einrissen, die vordere Decke mit kl. Fehlstellen im Bezug). Die erste Textseite beginnt mit der Überschrift 'Secunda miscellaneorum Chilias'. Die Sprache des Kommentars ist französisch, die überaus zahlreichen Zitate aber sind in lateinischer, italienischer, griechischer und seltener auch in spanischer Originalsprache wiedergegeben. Die einzelnen Miszellen, Sinnsprüche, Annotationen, Kommentare und Apercus sind von 1 bis 1000 durchnummeriert und ergeben als "Sammlung merk-würdiger Dinge" eine typische Arbeit des 18. Jahrhunderts : ein positiv gesinntes Spiel mit Wissen und Bildung, eine philosophische Lagebeurteilung, die sich bisweilen witzig, bisweilen ernst, immer aber voller esprit, der klassisch-antiken und zeitgenössischen Literatur bedient, um Aufklärung zu betreiben. Entsprechend reicht die Auswahl der Autoren von der griechischen und lateinischen Klassik, über die etablierten Geistesgrößen der Renaissance wie Peucer oder Macrobius, bis hin zu den 'modernen' Reiseschriftstellern wie Pyrard, Pietro de la Valle und Tavernier. Die ersten 30 Miszellen behandeln Holland, es folgen einige Anmerkungen zu Gräbern und Bestattungsriten, dann Ausführungen zur französischen Geschichte und Topographie, zu Inschriften und Neuigkeiten, wie einer ewigen Flamme in der Nähe von Grenoble. Zu den häufiger vorkommenden Themen gehören Kirchengeschichte und Religion (Papsttum, Jesuiten, Jansenismus, Atheismus) und es werden auch irrationale Phänomene wie Talismänner, Horoskope und Prophezeiungen behandelt - alles immer wieder unterbrochen von den unterschiedlichsten Aphorismen. So wird berichtet, daß ein Gesandter im fernen Sudan eine arme Frau, der er auf der Straße begegnete, fragte, warum sie in der einen Hand Feuer und in der anderen Wasser trage, zur Antwort erhielt, sie trage das Feuer um das Paradies zu verbrennen und Wasser, um die Flammen der Hölle zu löschen. Viele der Aphorismen durchzieht eine solche freigeistige Ironie: zitiert wird etwa eine Inschrift eines Hauses in Villeneve "Vivent les lys, vive bourbon, vive Henry quatre de ce nom, vive cekuy qui pour sa reverence a fait poser ici les armoiries de France (1495). Ein aufmerksamer Leser des vorliegenden Manuskriptes hatte bereits im 19. Jahrhundert auf einem kl. Notizzettel, der sich auf dem Vorsatz verso findet, bemerkt : "une vaste compilation d'extraits et d'études de nombreux ouvrages curieux et peu connus ... Outre la valeur de cette documentation, elle nous revèle la tournure d'esprit d'un lettré du 18ième siècle". Die erste Textseite und Seite 25 mit dem Stempel 'Bibliothèque de la Davière'; stellenweise kl. Tintenflecke, eine Seite alt hinterlegt.

Bologna, Giustiniano da Ruberia 16 September 1495. 4to (202 x 146 mm.). [80]p. Gothic type (80, shoulder notes 108), 38 lines per page, floriated white-line woodcut initial, initial guide letters, space left blank for a diagram (f. 21r), a woodcut Ruberia device on final verso. Half blue morocco & marbled boards, spine gilt, all edges gilt. *“AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT” — DSB. EDITIO PRINCEPS. A standard astronomy text for four centuries Michael’s commentary on Sacro Bosco was composed about 1231. “From the closing references to Paris in the commentary…it would appear to have been delivered there in the form of lectures, although the titulus of the printed editions represents it as composed at the request of Frederick II” (Thorndike, Sphere). Mathematician, physician and scholar at the Hohenstaufen court, Michael defines and explains the terrestrial globe, great and small circles, rising and setting of stars and orbits and movements of the planets in twenty-eight lectiones, exploring climate, the transmutation of matter, the arctic circle, varying day length, eclipses and colures. HE INSERTS THE ODD FABULOUS TALE to keep it lively. His translations from the Arabic — including THE INTRODUCTION OF ALPETRAGIAN ASTRONOMY TO THE LATIN WEST — influenced the present work. Though long and widely circulated in manuscript, the treatise appeared only twice in print, 1495 and 1531. No example of the text appears in De Ricci’s Census. A nice copy, some lower margins uncut, etched bookplate of OZUR on front pastedown.

Michael Furter [Basel 1495.] First edition, 8vo (163 x 108mm.), 231 leaves, lacking the final blank, rubricated throughout; gothic type, 18 full-p. woodcuts attributed to the Master of Haintz-Narr (including 2 repeats); Furter's largest early device on recto of C8 (Heitz & Bernoulli, 18); full brown morocco by E. Joly, with the arms and motto of Victor Messina, Prince d'Essling on both covers, spine gilt-lettered direct in one compartment and with Messina's cipher in the other four; a nice copy. A beautifully illustrated book by D¸rer's collaborator on The Ship of Fools. "In his fundamental work, D¸rer und die Illustrationene zum Narrenschiff, 1951, F. Winkler discusses in detail the Quadragesimale which he calls the best work of the group, assigning it to D¸rer's main collaborator in illustrating The Ship of Fools, his 'Master of the Haintz Narr,' on the assumption that this artist had developed further and gained in finesse and subtlety of modelling" (Breslaur, Catalogue 101, 1970, item 104). The text consists of a series of 50 sermons on the Prodigal Son. Sebastian Brandt, a close friend of Meder's, wrote some introductory verse, most of which consists of a dialogue between the Prodigal Son and his Guardian Angel on gaming, whoring, snappy dressing, and cruelty to the poor, among other subjects. The irregular register of two leaves (o2 and y2) resulted in short upper margins, but not affecting the headline. OCLC finds 7 copies, only Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Newberry in the U.S. Goff M421; BM III, 783; Hain-Copinger, 13628*; Muther, German Book Illustration of the Gothic Period and the Early Renaissance (1460-1530) (N.Y., 1972), p. 64: "These woodcuts, like those in the Ritter von Turn, are very significant."

Small folio. Nineteenth century red calf, spine ribbed and with gilt title, sides blind-stamped, g.e., preserved in slipcase. With woodcut printer's device at the end of the preliminaries and at the end of the book, full-page woodcut of the Virgin manifesting herself to S. Bernard, full-page woodcut of the Annunciation at the beginning of the main text, full-page woodcut of the Saviour on verso of last blank, and 18 woodcuts in text, all hand coloured, several half-page, showing the Circumcision, Jesus presented in the Temple, Mary meeting Elisabeth, etc., the smaller ones showing Christ raising from his grave, the Holy Trinity, Saints, etc., initials supplied in red, rubricated throughout. (4), CCLXXIIII (= 275), (1) lvs. Richly and most beautifully illustrated Dutch incunable, containing the sermons of S. Bernard of Clairvaux, both for the winter and summer time, published by Pieter van Os van Breda, the first printer at Zwolle. Nine woodcuts appear here for the first time: the entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Descent into Limbo, the Resurrection, Pentecost, the Assumption, and three cuts of saints. The fine full-page woodcuts of the Annunciation, and of the Blessed Virgin appeared in earlier Zwolle editions and have been produced by woodcutters at Zwolle. The other woodcuts used were bought by Pieter van Os from the stocks of Gerard Leeu at Gouda, and Jacob Bellaert at Haarlem. The small woodcut printer's device shows two shields hanging from a branch with a six-pointed star inbetween, the left shield bearing the coat-of-arms of Zwolle and the right shield the printer's mark. The book is finely printed in a firm Gothic type, in two columns, with 40 lines to a page. Some errors occur in the numbering of the leaves, LI is skipped but corrected by LVII present twice, idem LXXX present three times, corrected by skipping LXXXI and LXXXIII, but between CCLXVII and CCLXVIII an extra CCLXI occurs which brings the total on 275 instead of 274. The woodcuts were studied by Hind and Conway, Hind drawing special attention to the title-woodcut of S. Bernard's vision, which he considered one of the finest Dutch woodcuts of the period. Good copy. With the bookplate of Dyson-Perrins.- (Binding sl. rubbed; a few stains).

Publisher: Printed for the Bibliographical Society at the Oxford UniversityThree scarce illustrated monographs published by the Bibliographical Society and bound in one volume. Gibson (Item 10) provides "A contribution to the history of bookbinding at Oxford down to the period of the civil war; it treats solely of bindings decorated with stamps and rolls to the exclusion of all gilt-tooled work"--Preface. Item 11 is a description of English printed music to the close of the sixteenth century, the earliest book in which it appears being Higden's Polychronicon, Wynkyn de Worde, 1495, and the latest dealt with here being Dowland's Songs, the Madrigals of Morley and Weelkcs, Sternhold's Psalms, all of 1600. Steele includes chapters on the methods of early music printing and on the printers of early English music books, and gives transcripts of three privileges granted to John Day and those to Talus and Byrd and to Morley. In the bibliography one hundred books are described, with collations, and there are about fifty facsimiles. Madan (item 12) is the second issue limited to 425 copies. The statistical chart is bound in but misplaced between items 10 and 11.

Provenance: Thomas Irschlingerus (inscription, 1607); Carolus Holderrieth (inscription); Hedingen, Franciscans (inscription); Baron Joseph von Lassberg (shelfmark); Fuerstenberg Court Library at Donaueschingen. First Edition of this collection of fifty sermons on the parable of the Prodigal Son and the Passion of Christ, preached at Basel during Lent, 1494, by Johann Meder. The fine full-page woodcuts, illustrating the various stages in the progress of the Prodigal Son, have been attributed to the 'Master of the Haintz Narr', Duerer's main collaborator in illustrating Sebastian Brant's Das Narrenschiff, published by Johann Bergmann the previous year. The Quadragesimale is considered to be one of the most important woodcut books to be printed in Basel following the young Duerer's activities as a book illustrator there.
