Incunable]. Nicolaus de Blony (Blonie)
Tractatus sacerdotalis de sacrementis deq[ue] divinis officiis et eoru[m] administrationibus.
      Imp[re]ssus Arge[n]tine [Strasbourg]: p[er] Martinu[m] Flach, 1496. - 126 leaves [252]pp. verso blank. Collation: (A)-O8; P6; Q8. Collated and complete. 4to. (18.6 x 13.2 cm.). Early or original boards with remnant of old clasp; recently rebacked. . Goff N87 Proctor 706 [Types 1 and 5]; Hain 3258; BM 15th Cent. I:152; OCLC 20010409 citing only the Harvard copy (imperfect); Goff lists copies at LC and LCT[hatcher] neither of which show up in their online catalogue. Yale has a 1492 edition and the Newberry a 1499 one. Nicolaus de Plove is also listed in Jocher, Adelung and Schulte (which we know thanks to our learned friend Jesse Mann). Lower right corner gone from I4 (leaf 67); paper flaw (browning) fore-edge of L signature -- neither touching text; 2 microscopic pin-prick size worm holes, barely noticeable, G1 to end not affecting text. Very early marginalia and markings, probably 15th or early 16th century. This copy has an early example of the title page (A)1 giving the title in full. Very early signature and ÒNic De PloveÓ in ink on the front board; two later signatures on (A)1, one crossed through. A very nice complete copy of this handbook to the sacraments by the Bishop of Posan and a fine example of 15th century printing from the famous press of Martin Flach in Strasbourg. FlachÕs first book appeared in 1487, but Òhe had worked at Strassburg, presumably as a journeyman, as early as 1472Ó [Colin Clair, p.25 and esp. p. 89]. Ours is the only Flach/ Strasbourg imprint currently offered in the trade. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Beautifully printed and well preserved early Venetian edition of Pliny the Younger's Natural History which, according to the British Museum Catalogue was based on Britannicus' Brescia edition of 1496. Pliny's Historia naturalis, written in 77 A.D. is the earliest extant encyclopedia, an enormous repository of ancient knowledge and belief about cosmography, geography, anthropology, zoology, botany, medicine, metallurgy, mineralogy and the fine arts. It is particularly valuable for including its sources (which number nearly 500), and for containing the earliest surviving account on Roman plant-lore (Norman). II.

Marcantonio Sabellico (1436-1506) was an eminent Italian humanist and historian who had studied under Julius Pomponius Laetus, Gaspar Veronese and Porcelio Pandone at Rome. He taught rhetoric at Udine and later held the first lectureship in humanities at the school of San Marco. He also served as librarian to the collection of books which Cardinal Bessarion had given Venice. 239 leaves (of 240; without last blank).

PIUS II AENEAS SYLVA
Epistolae Familiares.
      - Milan, Uldericus Scinzenzeler, 10 de diciembre de 1496. En folio. 188 folios sin numerar. Tipografía romana. 59 líneas por página. Bella capitular grabada en a1 y marca del impresor a la vuelta del último folio. Encuadernación restaurada en piel sobre tabla conservando gran parte de las cubiertas originales que están ricamente decoradas con ruedas e hilos gofrados, las guardas y hojas de respeto originales. Primera edición traducida y editada por Ambrosius Archintus y Joannes Vinzalius, impresa con mucho esmero tipográfico sobre fuerte papel y buen ejemplar limpio y de amplios márgenes de esta apreciada obra considerada con acierto como uno de los mejores trabajos de toda la historia europea medieval. Esta colección de 432 cartas de Pius II, Papa desde 1458 hasta 1464, más conocido en el mundo literario como Aeneas Silvius, está considerada como una de las grandes fuentes para el estudio de la Historia de Europa y de gran importancia para el conocimiento de las relaciones entre Turcos y Europeos; contiene innumerables noticias y relaciones al más alto nivel político y diplomático en los años posteriores a la caída de Constantinopla en favor de los Turcos en 1453. La mayoría de los asuntos que trató Pio II eran de índole exterior y en particular el gran esfuerzo de su papado fue para unificar los diferentes poderes que estaban divididos en Europa para que lucharan a favor de un cristianismo seriamente amenazado. Combatió el comercio de esclavos y sobre todo estuvo en contra de la opresión que se ejercía sobre los Judíos. Fundó las Universidades de Basilea, Nantes e Ingolstadt. La obra incluye su famosa Bula contra los Turcos donde se pide su conversión al Cristianismo.Esta edición está generalmente reconocida como la más perfecta por cuanto las ediciones anteriores fueron impresas en Alemania sobre traducciones del latín muy pobres. Los mismos editores enfatizan la mala calidad de los textos previamente publicados en Alemania ". ab horrida germanica corrupte imprimeretur".Precioso ejemplar en perfecto estado, con muy buenos márgenes y limpio, la impresión fresca y bien estampado. Mínimos taladros al principio y fin del volumen sin afectar al texto ni la lectura, muy ligera mancha que afecta mínimamente al margen superior de las últimas dos o tres hojas. La restauración de la encuadernación está magistralmente realizada.Referencias: Hain 157; Goff P-721; BMC VI, 770-771; IBE 4614; Proctor 6032; Pellechet 96

PAULUS (APOSTLE).
EPISTOLAE & EPISTOLAE CANONICAE. TITLE: EPISTOLARUM BEATI PAULI APOSTOLI PRAEVIA ANNOTATIO. AD ROMANOS EPISTOLA I. AD CHORINTHIOS EPISTOLE II ... EPISTOLARUM CANONICARUM ANNOTATIO JACOBI APOSTOLI EPISTOLA I. PETRI APOSTOLI EPISTOLA II ... (ZWOLLE, PETER VAN OS VAN BREDA, BETWEEN 26 MARCH 1493 AND 1 DECEMBER 1496).
      Sm. 4to. Modern vellum, spine with title lettered in gold. With half-page woodcut on title (97 x 117mm) with St. Paul seated on a throne with a sword in his right hand, handing over a document to a kneeling herald with a city in the background. (52) lvs. (collation: (A)-H8.4, I4). Rare incunable edition of the 14 epistles of St. Paul, including the arguments and prologues: only five copies of this edition are known, of which only one in the Netherlands: an incomplete copy in the Royal Library!). The text is edited by St. Hieronymus, with some other canonical letters added. They are all listed on the title in two columns, arranged under the two main titles which are printed over the whole line. The epistles of St. Paul were addressed to the Romans, Corinthians (2), Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians (2), Timothy (2), Titus, Philemon and Hebrews; the canonical letters include letters by the apostles James (1), Peter (2), John (3), and Jude (1). The text itself had been already printed by Pafraet in Deventer in January and May 1491 (ILC 1703 and 1704 respectively).The interesting large woodcut on title shows St Paul seated on a throne holding a sword in his right hand, and handing over a document (bundle of letters) to a kneeling herald with a view of a walled city in the background, where the herald is again visible on horseback, apparently delivering the letters. It is the first and only time that this woodcut appears in an incunable edition!The book is printed in a small lettre batarde, with a large type for the titles, and a still larger one for the headings, the types 6, 8 and 9 respectively of by far the most important and prolific printer at Zwolle, Peter van Os van Breda (= Type 8A, 9A: resp. 99G and 71G), with 42 lines to a page and the initials left blank. The present copy is one of the three copies mentioned by Ms. Kronenberg as the Bosanquet copy (sold after the death of Bosanquet in 1944) and the only one still in trade. Fine copy, with contemporary ownership's entry on the title: 'Iste liber pertinet ad me Johannes Tomson presbyterum'; the bookplate of E.F. Bosanquet, Exmouth, on the inside of front cover, and with some modern ms. notes on first and third free endpaper.- (As the woodcut on the title is in fact larger than the text area (see above) and our copy is rather cut tight (175 x 120 mm), the right-hand side (ca. 11 mm) of the woodcut is cut off by the binder). Hermans, Zwolse boeken, p. 169 (ZD 92); Camp.-Kronenb. I, 1370a; NK 4191 (listing this copy, but dating it before 1500), and III, 3, 293; ILC 1705; HPT II, 450; IDL 3510; Pellechet Ms 9041 (8895); woodcut: Kok, De houtsneden in de icunabelen van de Lage Landen, pp. 421-22 (nr. 76), 926; Dutch Royal Library Disc (The Hague 1987), 18686 (illstr.).

(Venezia 1496-1568) fu uno dei grandi medici che diedero lustro all'Italia nel Rinascimento. Medico pratico di grande reputazione, si segnalò specialmente in una epidemia che scoppiò nell'isola di Murano. Ciò accrebbe la sua fama, e al suo ritorno fu ricevuto in trionfo dai suoi concittadini ed ammesso, per acclamazione, nel collegio di medicina. Nel 1551 fu scelto per succedere a G. B. Monti nell'Università di Padova; esercitò su quella scuola una prodigiosa influenza, di cui fece uso per richiamare gli alunni allo studio dei medici greci, e, in particolare, di Ippocrate.

Non Paucis Dictionibus, Ac Vocabulis Elegantissimis hac Ultima Impressione Locupletatus. Venice: Apud Franciscum Laurentinum, De Turino, 1560. 248 fols. Main text in parallel columns. Octavo (6" x 4"). Contemporary limp vellum with lapped edges, early hand-lettered title to spine and bottom page edges, ties lacking. Moderate staining and soiling, front hinge cracked, endleaves lacking, some worming to rear hinge. Handsome woodcut head-pieces and decorated initials. Early annotations to front pastedown, small later owner signature to foot of title page. Dampspotting and light browning in a few places, interior otherwise fresh. A solid copy. * First published around 1474 and attributed to Jodocus of Erfurt, this popular legal dictionary went through more than 70 editions over the next 150 years. The definitions are mostly derived from the Vocabularius Stuttgardiensis (1432), the Collectio Terminorum Legalium (c. 1400), and the Introductorium pro Studio Sacrorum Canonum of Hermann von Schildesch (c. 1330). The main text is preceded by Compendiolum de Ortographia, a short essay on legal orthography by Albericus de Rosate. It is followed by Tractatus de Modo Studendi, a longer essay on legal study by Caccialupe. The dictionary was produced for laymen, but it was very popular with law students, which explains the appended essays that are common in all later editions.

HUGO DE SANCTO CARO] [Hugh of
Postilla super Psalterium.
      [Colophon on Z5r:] Venice: Joannes & Gregorius de Gregoriis, de Forlivio, for Stephanus and Bernardinus de Nallis, 12 November 1496. - folio. 316 x 210 mm. ff. [15], 389. lacking blanks [AA1-2], cc6 & Z6. gothic type. 70 lines. 2 columns. woodcut initials incl. 2 very handsome large ones. 3-line heading printed in red on fo. a1r. printer's device on Z5r. modern vellum (small hole in gutter blank margin of first leaf, some scattered foxing; a very good copy with ample margins). First Edition of the exegetical commentary on the Psalms attributed (incorrectly) to Alexander de Ales in the present editon, and to Hugh of Saint-Cher (Hugo de Sancto Caro) in the second edition printed by Koberger in 1498. Hugh of Saint-Cher, trusted adviser and diplomatic envoy of Popes Gregory IX Innocent IV, and Alexander IV, became the first Dominican to be made Cardinal (1244). He played an important role in the council of Lyon (1245), contributed to the institution of the Feast of Holy Sacrament, the reform of the Carmelites (1247), and the condemnations of the Introductorius in evangelium aeternum of Gherardino del Borgo San Donnino (1255) and the De periculis novissimorum temporum of William of St. Amour. He is best known, however, for having compiled, with the aid of many of his order, the first verbal concordance to the entire Bible. Completed in 1230, it became the model for all following publications of the kind, including the famous Postillae of Nicholas de Lyra. In some copies of this first edition a space was left on fo. a1r for the incipit (probably because of uncertainty over authorship); in this copy, however, the incipit is printed in red: "Postilla irrefragabilis doctoris dñi Alexadri de Ales.super psalmos Aurea".

It contains a letter by Saint Eucherius, bishop of Lyon (born ca. 380 - died ca 449), one of the great neglected spiritual writers of Western Orthodoxy and a high-born and high-ranking ecclesiastic in the Christian Church of Gaul. He is remembered for his letters advocating extreme self-abnegation. On the death of his wife he withdrew for a time to the monastery of Lerins, on the smaller of the two islands off Antibes , to live a severely simple life of study and devote himself to the education of his sons. Soon afterward he withdrew further, however, to the neighbouring island of Lerona (now Sainte-Marguerite), where he devoted his time to study and mortification of the flesh. It was at this time (ca 428) that Eucherius wrote his epistolary essay De laude Eremi ('In praise of hermits').To his kinsman Valerian, he wrote this Epistola paraenetica ad Valerianum cognatum, de contemptu mundi (Epistle on the contempt of the world) an expression of the despair for the present and future of the world in its last throes shared by many educated men of Late Antiquity, with hope for a world to come, at the same time to persuade him to let go of the riches and vanities of the world. Erasmus thought so highly of its Latin style that he edited and published it at Basel (1520).The fame of Eucherius was soon so widespread in South-eastern Gaul that he was chosen bishop of Lyon in 434. In 1654 the letter translated into English by Henry Vaughan. Fine copy, with ample margins. Hermans, Zwolse boeken, pp. 167-8, nr.

PIUS II AENEAS SYLVA
Epistolae Familiares.
      - Milan, Uldericus Scinzenzeler, 10 de diciembre de 1496. En folio. 188 folios sin numerar. Tipografía romana. 59 líneas por página. Bella capitular grabada en a1 y marca del impresor a la vuelta del último folio. Encuadernación restaurada en piel sobre tabla conservando gran parte de las cubiertas originales que están ricamente decoradas con ruedas e hilos gofrados, las guardas y hojas de respeto originales. Primera edición traducida y editada por Ambrosius Archintus y Joannes Vinzalius, impresa con mucho esmero tipográfico sobre fuerte papel y buen ejemplar limpio y de amplios márgenes de esta apreciada obra considerada con acierto como uno de los mejores trabajos de toda la historia europea medieval. Esta colección de 432 cartas de Pius II, Papa desde 1458 hasta 1464, más conocido en el mundo literario como Aeneas Silvius, está considerada como una de las grandes fuentes para el estudio de la Historia de Europa y de gran importancia para el conocimiento de las relaciones entre Turcos y Europeos; contiene innumerables noticias y relaciones al más alto nivel político y diplomático en los años posteriores a la caída de Constantinopla en favor de los Turcos en 1453. La mayoría de los asuntos que trató Pio II eran de índole exterior y en particular el gran esfuerzo de su papado fue para unificar los diferentes poderes que estaban divididos en Europa para que lucharan a favor de un cristianismo seriamente amenazado. Combatió el comercio de esclavos y sobre todo estuvo en contra de la opresión que se ejercía sobre los Judíos. Fundó las Universidades de Basilea, Nantes e Ingolstadt. La obra incluye su famosa Bula contra los Turcos donde se pide su conversión al Cristianismo.Esta edición está generalmente reconocida como la más perfecta por cuanto las ediciones anteriores fueron impresas en Alemania sobre traducciones del latín muy pobres. Los mismos editores enfatizan la mala calidad de los textos previamente publicados en Alemania ". ab horrida germanica corrupte imprimeretur".Precioso ejemplar en perfecto estado, con muy buenos márgenes y limpio, la impresión fresca y bien estampado. Mínimos taladros al principio y fin del volumen sin afectar al texto ni la lectura, muy ligera mancha que afecta mínimamente al margen superior de las últimas dos o tres hojas. La restauración de la encuadernación está magistralmente realizada.Referencias: Hain 157; Goff P-721; BMC VI, 770-771; IBE 4614; Proctor 6032; Pellechet 96

Cornucopiae linguae latinae. (Daran:) Commentariolus in prohemium historiae naturalis Plinii.
      Venedig, Johannes Tacuinus, 20. XII. 1496. - Antiqua mit griechischen Einsprengseln (Titel in got. Type). 2 Spp., 62 Z. Mit Holzschnittdruckermarke am Schluß und zahlr. Holzschnittinitialen. (38), CCCVII Bll., l. w. Bl. Blindgepr. Schweinslederband der Zeit über Holzdeckeln auf drei flach gearbeiteten Doppelbünden. Mit 7 (von 10) durchbrochenen, floral ziselierten Messing-Eckbeschlägen und 2 Schließen (Bänder erneuert, Deckelelemente ziseliert mit Marien-Schriftzug). Schnittitel am oberen Schnitt. Folio. Bedeutende Sammlung philologischer Texte, eigentlich ein Kommentar zum ersten Buch des Martial. Ursprünglich zusammengestellt vom Philologen Niccolò Perotti (1430-80), erstmals 1489 von Paganinus gedruckt und hier herausgegeben von Johannes Pompeius Cornianus und Polydorus Vergilius. Der Theologe Perotti lehrte in Rom die lateinische Sprache, "kriegte aber mit Domenico Calderino wegen Erklärung des Martialis Streit, docirte darauf zu Bologna nach und nach die Rhetoric, Poesie, Philosophie, ja so gar die Medicin" (Jöcher III, 1398). Kardinal Bessarion machte ihn 1458 zum Erzbischof von Manfredonia. In den "Cornucopiae", seinem Hauptwerk, soll er "ein Plagium [.] begangen haben, welches Calepin in seinem Dictionario hinwieder an diesem Buche ausgeübt" (ebd.). Überdies soll Perotti durch seine Arbeitswut seinen Gönner Bessarion um die Papstkrone gebracht haben, als er diesen 1471 ins Konklave begleitete: In seine Arbeit am Buch vertieft, schickte er die Kardinäle fort, die Bessarion zum Papst küren wollten; verdrossen wählten sie daraufhin Francesco della Rovere (Sixtus IV.). - Durchgehend etwas wasserrandig. Vorderer Vorsatz und Titel mit zeitgenöss. Eintragungen (Namensindex und griech.-/lat. Motti). Der hübsche deutsche Renaissanceeinband mit doppeltem Rahmen aus Rankenwerksrollen (die äußere feinverschlungen auf punziertem Grund), jeweils von breiten Streicheisenlinien begrenzt. Das Mittelfeld rhombisch geteilt; in den Rhombenfeldern Adler- und Rosettenstempel sowie Löwen im Schild, außerdem kleine Lilien- und Kreuzstempel (sämtlich nicht bei Schunke). Am Vorderdeckel Spuren eines zeitgenöss. hs. Deckeltitels. Die hübschen Eckbeschläge am Vorderdeckel wie auch die Schließelemente vollständig erhalten; es fehlen die Mittelbeschläge sowie am Hinterdeckel der untere Beschlag am Rücken. Hinterdeckel stärker fleckig (größerer Tintenfleck). Insgesamt hübsches, wohlerhaltenes Exemplar der recht seltenen Inkunabel. Hain/C. 12704. Goff P-295. GW M 31100. Pellechet Ms 9221 (9045).

Hennegau].
Erburkunde der Frührenaissance.
      Bouvignies bei Ath, 4. XII. 1496. - Mittelfranzösische Bastarda auf Pergament. 48 Zeilen. Gefaltet, ca. 30 x 24 cm. Vor dem Bürgermeister von Bouvignies bei Ath (Hainaut/Hennegau, heute Belgien), M. Deleuze, dem dortigen Obergericht und den Schöffen geschlossener Vertrag: Jaspart Ysacq aus Ath und sein Sohn Hanin vermachen Denis Beurelin aus Bouvignies aus freien Stücken und auf Lebenszeit gegen eine Rente einen halben Hektar Land, das Ysacq in Bouvignies, nahe dem Wald von Remonquesnoit, besitzt. Das Grundstück ist auf der einen Seite begrenzt durch den dorthin führenden Weg, auf einer anderen Seite durch den Weg nach Bigode und schließlich durch die Güter von Jacquemin Beurelin: "Jaspart hysacq en la ville dath et avoecq lui hanin Son filz quil heult de deffuncte Juliane de le plancq [.] de leurs pure et bonne voulentet et Sans constrainte nulle dirent et congnetrent quilz avoient donnet et mis a rente et ferme main tousiours perpetuelement A denis beurelin manouvries demorant en ladite ville de bouvegnies la estant present Liertaige de demi bonnier de terre ou environ [.]". Denis Beurelin verpflichtet sich ferner, binnen eines Jahres auf dem Grundstück ein Steingebäude mit Gebälk zu errichten. Er und seine Nachkommen verpflichten sich gegenüber Ysacq und seinen Nachkommen zur Zahlung einer jährlichen Summe von 26 Sols, leistbar jeweils zur Hälfte am Johannistag und am Weihnachtstag. Die erste Zahlung soll am kommenden Johannistag 1497 erfolgen. - Sollten Beurelin und seine Erben diese Rente von 26 Sols einmal nicht mehr zahlen können und sind drei aufeinanderfolgende Zahlungen ausgeblieben, so sollen Ysacq oder seine Anspruchsberechtigten, aber auch jeder Inhaber dieser Urkunde das genannte Grundstück mitsamt dem darauf errichteten Haus zurückfordern dürfen. Beurelin soll das Grundstück lebenslang nutzen dürfen, unabhängig vom Familienstand und von der Existenz von Nachkommen. Sollte er aber ohne Nachkommen sterben, so soll das Grundstück nach seinem Tod an Jean Dottegnies fallen. - Die Ortschaft Bouvignies ist heute der wallonischen Stadt Ath eingemeindet. Die Grafschaft Hennegau war mit der burgundischen Erbschaft 1477 an das Haus Habsburg gefallen und blieb bis zur Französischen Revolution österreichisch. - Volltranskription liegt bei.

SENECA, Lucius Annaeus
Las Epístolas (en Castellano).
      - Zaragoza, Pablo Hurus para Juan Thomas Favario de Lumelo, 3 de Marzo de 1496. En folio. Tipografía gótica. 84 folios. Un grabado a toda página en xilografía representando a Séneca ofreciendo el libro a Nerón, y manca del impresor en la última hoja. Encuadernación en pergamino moderno. Primera Edición española y primera edición ilustrada de las famosas epístolas del cordobés Lucio Aneo Séneca, de extraordinaria rareza. De acuerdo con Palau, la traducción al castellano se debe a Pedro Díaz de Toledo y fue posteriormente revisada por Fernán Díaz de Guzmán, estado definitivo con el cual se imprimió el texto. La última parte de la obra contiene la "Introducción de Filosofía", de Leonardo Aretino.Este libro fue impreso por uno de los mejores y más importantes impresores de cuantos se establecieron en España durante el periodo incunable. Pablo Hurus de Constanza llegó a la ciudad aragonesa de Zaragoza para establecer su taller de impresión a finales de 1476, junto con su amigo Henricus Botel de Sajonia. Ambos habían establecido la primera imprenta en Barcelona el año anterior. Hombre extraordinario, es una de las figuras más interesantes de la imprenta incunable española; cursó estudios en la Universidad de Basilea y mantuvo inquietudes literarias, a su llegada a España se relacionó con el mundo intelectual zaragozano, entrando en contacto con alguno de los autores de las obras impresas por él, e incluso costeándolas. En Zaragoza imprimió al principio en compañía de otros impresores y porteriormente solo. En 1477 Hurus imprime el "Fori Regni Aragonum" junto con Botel, y posteriormente hasta 1480 no se tienen nuevas noticias de impresiones suyas, momento a partir del cual imprime en colaboración con Juan Planck obras como la "Descriptio absidionis Rhodiae urbis" (1481) o las Fábulas de Esopo (1482). Tras un paréntesis, a partir de 1485 y hasta 1499, año de su última impresión, se desarrolla el período más intenso de su actividad, ya en solitario y sin la asociación con ningún otro tipógrafo. Imprimió en estos años numerosas obras de gran calidad como Las Mujeres Ilustres de Boccaccio (1494), la presente primera edición castellana de las Epístolas de Séneca (1496), o el Viaje a Tierra Santa de Breydenbach (1498). En 1499 Hurus transfirió su establecimiento tipográfico a Jorge Cocci, quien tantas glorias dio también a la imprenta española, y se retiró a Constanza.Obra muy rara que no se encuentra en la British Library. Según Salvá "Méndez no conoció esta magnífica primera edición" y Pellicer desconocía incluso la existencia de esta traducción castellana. En España se conservan sólo cuatro ejemplares completos en bibliotecas públicas, ninguno de ellos en Zaragoza. Goff registra dos ejemplares en Estados Unidos: Hisoanic Society of America y Curt F. Bühler.Referencias: Goff, S-383; Copinger, 5350; Haebler, 622; Palau, 308013; Salvá 4003; IBE 5195

Altogether a complete, well-preserved, wide-margined copy, attributable to an Augsburg shop due to the roll-tools (Kyriss 83: "Werkstatt Bogenfries"). - While complete copies of the Koberger edition are not uncommon, they are very rare for this edition: according to ISTC, no less than nine copies of the 1496 "small Schedel" in German libraries are incomplete. The copies listed in ABPC are all incomplete; not a single copy sold at German auctions during the past decades was in a contemporary binding. Hain 14511. Goff S-310. BSB S-198. Klebs 890.2.

      Venice, Aldus Manutius, February1495 (=1496). - Folio. Modern red morocco, spine gilt in compartments with title lettered in gold, covers with ornamental gilt borders, on both covers blind tooled ornament in centre, red sprinkled edges. With 37 fine woodcut headpieces (2 by the famous Poliphilus master, and 39 woodcut 'bianchi-giari initials'. (140) lvs. Collation: AA-?D8, EE-?G6, 2Z2?10, 2A2?-2D2?8, 2E2?6, ?a-?b8, ?c10, ?d-?e8. The first very rare issue of the original and only edition of one of the first books produced by the famous printer/publisher Aldus Manutius. In fact this edition is the third book that left the Aldine presses in the year Aldus started his printing activities in Venice. Aldus began his professional career as a teacher, not as a printer, and as such saw a need for the publication of the Greek and Latin classical authors, whose works figured high in the Renaissance humanist agenda. While many of these works had been published by the end of the fifteenth century, a large number had not yet seen print. This lack was especially acute in the case of Greek authors, and when Aldus decided to begin a printing business these authors were the ones he emphasized. His development of greek and italic fonts and, somewhat later the octavo format, point toward a carefully planned program for the dissemination of the ancient classics.Under Aldus's program, works of numerous Greek and Latin authors, including the present collection of Greek poetical texts, were published for the first time, and works by others appeared in better editions than had previously been available. The 'editiones principes' in this collection include 12 of the Ecloques of Theocrit, Hesiod's Theogonia (or De generatione deorum) and selections from the Greek Gnomic poets. It is the most interesting of all Greek Aldus editions, containing a wide variety of linguistic forms and packed with mythological or moralizing passages, and as such of highly interest for the educationalist and the history of humanism in general and the beginning of the study of Greek language and literature in particular. In his nearly twenty years as a printer, Aldus labored tirelessly at the press and left to the world a rich legacy of beautiful books and scholarly texts. These books are still admired for their attractive typography, clean lines, and good design as well as their scholarly contributions. Through his publications, Aldus contributed to the survival of many ancient texts and greatly facilitated the diffusion of the values, enthusiasm, and scholarship of the Italian Renaissance across the rest of Europe. Aldus demonstrated to the printing world that scholarly books could be produced finely as well as profitably; and he convinced the scholarly world of the value of printing. Also the present collection was published with the express understanding that it would be used in the classroom. In his preface and dedication to Bapt. Guarino, the son of Guarino Veronese, who taught Aldus Greek in Ferrara, the printer writes: "Here, most illustrious master, is the Theogonia of Hesiod, which you ask me to provide for the public instruction of your pupils". The other most important editio princeps present in this edition is the publication for the first time of 12 of the Ecloques of Theocrit, based on a manuscript in the Vatican (MS Vat. Gr. 1311). The first 18 eclogues are published here after the edition Milan 1480. The present Aldus edition of the Eclogues was taken as the basis for the Juntina edition of 1516 and has as such influenced the history of the text transmission of Theocrit's eclogues until the present day. The most famous 17th-century editor of Theocrit for instance, Daniel Heinsius from Leiden, admired this Aldus edition very much.There are two issues of this edition of which the first is the most rare. The differences - which are in general not very important as regards content - occur in the quires ZF and ?G (p. 77-80 and 85-100), the most obvious being the four verses on f. ZF1r occupying two lines (2nd is [Attributes: Hard Cover]

ANTONINUS FLORENTINUS
Summa theologiae, pars secunda.
      Strasbourg, Gruninger 8 maggio 1496 - In folio (cm 31), attraente legatura cinquecentesca in pelle di scrofa impressa a secco con fermagli e ganci di chiusura ai piatti conservati e funzionanti, i piatti interamente decorati con cornici concentriche impresse a secco con raffigurazioni delle virtù (Fede, Speranza, Carità ecc.) e di piccoli ritratti di condottieri storici. Bell’esemplare in carta ‘crocchiante’ (lievi aloni in fine), interamente rubricato d’epoca con lettere capitali in rosso. Carte 228, testo in carattere gotico su 2 colonne. Very attractive contemporary binding in blindstamped pigsking over wooden boards, with clasps and catches. Unsophisticated copy. Composta tra il 1440 ed il 1459 la ‘Summa theologiae’ si riconnette alla più celebre ed omonima opera di S. Tommaso, a cui è peraltro debitrice, ed è testimonianza di uno sforzo analitico-sistematico in campo etico, opera anzitutto destinata all’istruzione dei confessori e dei predicatori, coloro che erano a più diretto contatto con i vivi problemi del mondo laico fiorentino. La presente seconda parte (divisa in dodici capitoli, analizzanti i peccati capitali) indubbiamente la più interessante storicamente, offre allo studioso dei problemi di etica economica un quadro analitico delle proibizioni previste per singole attività che "sapessero di usura", e perciò di notevole importanza in quanto fornisce una adeguata idea del mondo economico quattrocentesco. L’Aut. indugia quindi ad esaminare le singole pratiche che nascondevano forme di guadagno e intenzioni speculative, come p. es. la vendita a termine, le vendite di census, i tassi di interesse dei monti di pietà e dei monti di Stato, i contratti di soccida, i depositi bancari, i vari tipi di cambio. Si fa tuttavia strada, pur nella condanna in linea di principio, la pressione irrefrenabile delle vita economica, recante l’idea del particolare valore che ha il denaro dell’uomo di affari, per il quale è sempre valido il principio del ‘lucrus cessans’, e si riconosce il valore del capitale in quanto denaro destinato ad investimento per attività mercantili. Di notevole interesse anche i capitoli "De ebrietate", "De gula", "De luxuria", ecc. Per la biogr. dell’Aut., cfr.

Curtius Rufus, Quntus. Bartholomaeus
Historiae Alexandri Magni.
      Johannes Tacuinus de Tridino, Venice: 1496. - Folio 12 1/2 x 8 1/2Ó a8,b-l6. 68 leaves. [1],lxvi,[1], [1]p. Early paper covered limp boards, some loss to spine,old description on front paste-down; single wormhole in lower margin, minor corner stains, small tear in LI. Provenance: Julio Berunza Collection of Alexander the Great (bookplate removed). Printer's device on register leaf. Decorated initials Curtius Rufus wrote this history of Alexander the Great ,his march through Phrygia and the cutting of the Gordian Knot,under Claudius or Vespasian. "The author is an excellent story-teller and makes the most of many thrilling or picturesque incidents in the Asiatic expedition."[OCCL]Merula, Italian humanist and poet, was born in Mantua. He taught grammar in Split from 1487-9. When the powerful Venicean Zori of the Corner family sought a tutor for his sons, Merula won the position. ÒAmong the most powerful families in Venice at this period were the Corner, whose members included the titular Queen of Cyprus and her brother Zorzi, one of the most widely employed and respected statesmen in the Republic. Zorzi had a history of connections with scholars of an earlier generation such as George of Trebizond and Merula, so when it became known in 1484 that he was seeking a tutor for his sons, the post was eagerly sought. Ermolao Barbaro and Gerolamo Donato were asked to intercede. Bartolomeo Merula, the successful candidate, gained a certain status in Venetian intellectual society, editing a number of Latin texts for the press of Tacuinus during the 1490s and 1500s. When his main charge, Marco Corner, was given a cardinalcy in 1500, Bartolomeo simply became his secretary instead of his tutor and was in due course rewarded for his services by the appointment of apostolic protonotary.Ó [Martin Lowry, World of Aldus Manitius.] Ann Moss in her ÒOvid In Renissance FranceÓ calls him an ÒindefatigableÓ editor and in the case of Ovid, ÒHis main concern is to make the sense of the text clear by paraphrasing difficult passages and enlarging on historical, geographical and mythological allusions, with the help of recognized authorities. His is a grammatical, rather than a rhetorical commentary.Ó Goff C1003 ; HCR 5886 ; Pell 4068 ; CIBN C-687 ; Neveu 208 ; Polain(B) 4310 ; IDL 1447 ; IBE 1966 ; IGI 3291 ; IBP 1820 ; Saj—-SoltŽsz 1125 ; Sallander 2176 ; Madsen 1311 ; Ernst(Hildesheim) I,I 163 ; GŸnt(L) 3748 ; Voull(B) 4432 ; Sack(Freiburg) 1200 ; Finger 326 ; Walsh 2567 ; Rhodes(Oxford Colleges) 645 ; Bod-inc C-498 ; Sheppard 4535, 4536 ; Pr 5443 ; BMC V 531 ; GW 7876.

ROLEWINCK, Werner.
Rules for a good monastic life Formula vivendi canonicorum sive vicariorum secularium aut etiam bevotorum (i.e.devotorum) presbiterorum.
      Delft, (Christiaen Snellaert), April 1496. - 4to. 19th century half vellum, boards covered with grained blue paper. Rubricated throughout, small red lombards; 45-48 lines; writing space: 146x88mm.; printed with three types: 145G (first line of title), 64G (text), 82G (signatures) (HMT 84 (107)). 11 lvs. (a6, b6-1, the last blank lacking). First and only edition published in the Northern Netherlands of this theological treatise formulating regimens for the best way of life for canons and priests by the famous Werner Rolewinck. Especially the many dangers threatening monastic and cloistered life are dealt with at length. The first edition had been printed in Cologne by Arnold ter Hoernen between 1471 and 1475. Two more editions appeared in Cologne before 1500. The first edition in the Netherlands was either printed in Alost or in Antwerp by Thierry Martens between 1486 and 1497, probably a few year earlier than the present Delft edition printed by the prolific printer/publisher Christiaen Snellaert who printed no less than 87 editions between 1486 and 1497, among which famous (first) editions of the Dutch literary texts Karel ende Elegast and Elckerlijck, the Missale Trajectense and Eike van Repgow's Spieghel van Sassen demand attention.Werner Rolewick (1425-1502) was a German Carthusian monk who composed many theological and devotional treatises and some important historical works, of which his Fascilucum temporum is by far the best known. First published in Cologne in 1474, this general history of the world was reprinted more than 30 times during the 15th century. Good copy of this interesting Dutch incunable.
