Wasserman, Jack
|
| Michelangelo's Florence "Pieta"
|
Princeton University Press. - 0691016216 Jacket with light edge wear else clean and tight, mark free book. This is NOT an ex-library discard, is theirs? Michelangelo's Florence "Pieta" (Hardcover) by Jack Wasserman (Author), Franca Trinchieri Camiz (Contributor), Timothy Verdon (Contributor), Peter Rockwell (Contributor), Aurelio Amendola (Photographer) Michelangelo produced three sculptures of the Madonna holding the dead Christ in her lap, called the Pieta. The first (1498-99) is at St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome. The second (ca.1550) is at the Museo Civico in Milan. The third, called the Florence Pieta and the subject of this exciting book, was started about 1550. Michelangelo worked on it for several years, attacked it one day with hammer and chisel, was stopped by a servant, and never touched it again. Later repaired, the Pieta passed through many hands until it ended up in the Museo dell'Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, the subject of many long-raging controversies about why Michelangelo tried to destroy this beautiful work of art. Art historian Wasserman now analyzes numerous documentary studies and conducts a remarkably thorough physical examination of the Florence Pieta, including a gamma-ray scan of its interior, even using a virtual computerized model, which allows him to view the piece in ways that would be impossible in real life, all in an effort to replace speculation with fact. Utterly absorbing, this book sets new standards in art historical scholarship. Victor Cassidy Copyright American Library Association.

Diese wiederum gehen auf die Holzschnitte der erweiterten Basler Serie von J. Bergmann (1. März 1497) zurück. - Die reich illustrierte Verssatire auf die Narrheiten und Schwächen des Menschen bildet das Hauptwerk Sebastian Brants und zählt zu den populärsten Büchern zum Beginn der Neuzeit. Es ist eines der ersten deutschen literarischen Werke, dessen Ruhm sich rasch in ganz Europa verbreitete. Dies ist nicht zuletzt den teilw.

|
Basel: Johan Froben and Johann Petri, 1 December 1498 - 244 leaves. The text single column of 48 lines surrounded by 79 lines of commentary in double column plus headline gothic type. Part V (only) of six. VERY ATTRACTIVE 15TH OR 16TH CENTURY ELABORATELY BLINDSTAMPED PIGSKIN OVER THICK BEVELLED BOARDS both covers with ogivally diapered central panel featuring pomegranate and rosette stamps the panel formed by a broad and intricate frame incorporating floral stamps and closely spaced fleurs-de-lys raised bands original catchplates one original clasp (of two). Capitals hand painted in blue and red one genealogical diagram within text. Title leaf with oval stamp reading Bibl. Publ. Basileensis. Pigskin with overall darkening light wear to spine the topmost raised band somewhat abraded front edge of back cover lacking semicircular area of pigskin four inches in length a couple dozen very small round wormholes some minor scratches and smudges but a solid and pleasing original binding nevertheless with the blindstamping still sharp. Two integral leaves (s1 and s6) guarded and with marginal dampstaining (see below) opening leaves with some 30 wormholes all but a half dozen marginal (a handful of wormholes in the margin on most other leaves with some minor elongation but just two holes remaining within the text itself by folio 20) two leaves (including the final one) with one- or two-inch marginal tear (well away from the text) additional trivial defects otherwise quite a pleasing copy internally with very fresh text almost no staining or soiling and excellent margins. Goff B-609; BMC III, 791. This volume contains the four Gospels by the Evangelists Matthew Mark Luke and John the biblical text surrounded by the extensive commentary of Nicholas de Lyra. With more than 2100 folio-size leaves in six volumes the Bible from which this single volume comes was a major undertaking a fact that no doubt encouraged a collaboration between Froben and Petri the latter a printer at work in Passau from 1485-93 and then at Basel where he also worked in conjunction with Froben and Amerbach to produce Bibles in 1502 and 1504. It is no surprise that a Bible of this size would contain considerable commentary and it appears from the various bibliographies that there is simply no incunabular Bible with more scholarly elucidation than this one. Believed by some scholars to be of Jewish origin Nicholas of Lyra (ca. 1270-1349) from Lyre in France was a Franciscan especially learned in Hebrew and rabbinical studies; his Postillae originally printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1471 (see item #131 above) constituted the first commentary on the Bible to appear in print. The present volume appears to represent an early example of the substitution of leaves to make up a defective copy something that appears to have been done here at the time the book was bound in the 15th or early 16th century. Both s1 and s6 are mounted on stubs and both have dampstained margins indicating that these integral leaves were not originally in the s gathering (as is often the case the originals were probably simply omitted by accident when the book was first put together). However unlike books afflicted by modern sophistication these leaves were clearly inserted at the earliest possible date. This is obvious from the fact that they have three round wormholes in the bottom margin that line up exactly with those in leaves before between and after them and also from the fact that the stubs are almost certainly made out of leaves from this very work--they have printed side notes of the same kind and in the same typeface as those in the rest of the book. Despite its obvious importance the Froben-Petri-Lyra Bible in complete form is an extremely rare book in the marketplace: since 1975 ABPC lists only one (slightly defective) copy of the six volumes at auction and except for one group of three volumes (sold with all faults) only single volumes are otherwise listed for sale.

SIDONIUS APOLLINARIS (Gaius Sollius,
|
| Poema Aureum, Eiusdemque Epistole
|
Ulrich Scinzenzeler for Hieronymus De Asula and Johannes De Abbatibus, Milan 1498 - Folio, modern polished dark brown calf antique style, title leaf and preliminary leaves with several wormholes not affecting legibility, first few gatherings with bottom inside corner bit waterstained with several wormholes, all in the blank portion and tapering away, neat early marginalia, tall clean example with some uncut lower edges and featuring attractive white on black initial letters. Sidonius Apollinaris, born into an aristocratic Lyonnais family in the early Fifth Century, received an excellent classical education, and married the daughter of the future Roman Emperor Avitus. He was in turn a statesman, a poet, a bishop, and above all a master of the epistolary form. This work includes his letters and poems, which, along with Giambattista Pio's extensive scholia, provide insightful commentary on the difficult later years of the Roman Empire and life in the provinces. His writings have earned Sidonius Apollinaris the title of "The last representative of classical Roman culture." Of the first edition of 1474, Goff locates a copy at the Chapin Library in Massachusetts, and another at the Huntington in California; this first edition had no notes or commentary. The second edition, which we offer, is the sole edition to contain Giambattista Pio's scholary notes and commentary. Pio's edition of 1498 was the accepted text until Plantin produced his edition exactly a century later; in 1598. Hain Copinger 1287; Goff S 494.

SERMONETA, GIOVANNI
|
| Questiones subtilissime Johannis Sermonete super libros afforismorum. Eiusdem super librum Tegni.
|
Venetiis Octaviani Scoti per Bonetum Locatellum 31 marzo 1498 - Folio (cm 31.5) pergamena floscia cinquecentesca, con titolo manoscritto al dorso, bell’esemplare fresco e marginoso. Testo su 2 colonne in car. gotico 66 linee, cc. nn. 74 (di cui l’ultima bianca orig.), con iniziali xilogr. Seconda edizione di questo raro incunabolo, che contiene le annotazioni e il commento di Giovanni da Sermoneta alla ‘Tegni’ di Galeno e agli Aforismi di Ippocrate. Le opere di Galeno (131-201 d.C.), come noto, rielaboravano in chiave moderna il pensiero di Ippocrate (v sec. a.C.), e per tale motivo furono tramandate quasi sempre insieme agli scritti di quest’ultimo, divenendo sin dall’antichità il punto di partenza obbligato per l’apprendimento della scienza medica. Il nucleo centrale costituito dagli scritti di Galeno e Ippocrate – circolanti sia in greco che nelle traduzioni arabe e latine – si fuse nel Medioevo con altri brevi testi, dando vita a quelle raccolte che configurarono il canone della medicina nelle università italiane fino alla fine del Cinquecento. La più famosa di queste raccolte, la cosiddetta Articella (attestata in Francia fin dal xii secolo e stampata più volte tra il 1476 e il 1493), privilegia proprio la Tegni – titolo che deriva dalla traslitterazione latina dell’originale greco Techne iatrikè, cioè arte medica – e gli Aforismi, a conferma di una centralità e di una importanza di queste due opere che trovava riscontro nei sempre più numerosi commenti scolastici. L’Articella iniziò a circolare in Italia nel Trecento, là dove l’insegnamento della medicina – anche grazie all’influsso della scuola aristotelica – era a livelli più avanzati, e cioè Bologna e Padova. Nello Studio patavino furono attivi professori molto famosi, come Pietro d’Abano (m. 1315) e Jacopo da Forlì (m. 1414), autore quest’ultimo di un importante commento alla Tegni e agli Aforismi e maestro di Giovanni da Sermoneta, che fu suo allievo tra il 1411 e il 1412. Di Giovanni da Sermoneta, attivo nella prima metà del Quattrocento e morto dopo il 1438, non si conservano purtroppo molte notizie. Sappiamo di lui che intraprese dapprima lo studio della Arti e che esercitò in seguito la professione medica, affiancandola all’insegnamento della filosofia. Le Questiones subtilissime – declamate, come si ricava nel colophon, a Bologna nel 1430, "in parte teoretiche e in parte pratiche" (De Renzi, p. 454) – sono il frutto di una formazione giovanile in cui erano confluiti elementi di scolasticismo e aristotelismo ancora medievali e altri più vicini a un rigore scientifico già moderno. Resta forte in lui la tendenza, diffusa per la medicina dell’epoca (basti pensare al già citato Pietro d’Abano), a collegare medicina e astrologia. L’ipotesi dell’influsso degli astri trova conforto già nella teoria ippocratica e galenica degli "umori", per cui gli elementi vitali del corpo umano vengono accesi o sopiti da determinati pianeti. Sermoneta applicava in prima persona queste teorie: se è vero quanto riportato da Girolamo Torrella – anch’egli medico, astrologo e autore di un commento alla Tegni di Galeno – nel suo Opus praeclarum de imaginibus astrologicis (Valencia, 1496), Giovanni era solito curare i suoi problemi intestinali grazie al beneficio apportato dalla raffigurazione di un leone incisa in un particolare periodo dell’anno e sotto l’influsso di una certa costellazione (Thorndike, iv, p. 576), pratica che ricorda in maniera evidente la credenza medievale secondo cui determinati oggetti – come pietre o simboli – sarebbero in grado di "catalizzare" le forze astrali. La stretta derivazione dell’opera del Sermoneta da quella del suo maestro non era sfuggita ai suoi editori, che soltanto tre anni prima avevano dato alle stampe anche il commento di Jacopo da Forlì, all’interno di un più ampio progetto editoriale di pubblicazione di opere scientifiche e mediche. "The most striking features of his quaestiones on the Tegni is that he acts mainly as a logician analysing the arguments of his predecessors. He is especially keen on finding log

| The Final Revival of the Aegean Bronze Age: A case study of the Argolid, Corinthia, Attica, Euboea, the Cyclades and the Dodecanese during LH IIIC Middle
|
British Archaeological Reports - This work examines the post-palatial phase of Late Helladic IIIC middle. During this phase in Greek prehistory, Greece undergoes important changes that will transfer the palace administrative system of the Mycenaean era to that of the city-states of the early Greek period. At the time of its publication much of the material evidence known today was still unpublished and although the material examined provided a most thorough account of what was known at the time it was still limited as a result of the lack of publications or as often was the case the lack of LH IIIC, or so defined, deposits. This phase of the BronzeAge has been periodically examined either through the investigation of specific sites or in certain cases with the study of a particular type of material find such as pottery. What this publication aims to provide is a more synthetic study of the middle phase in its entirety within the regions of the central and southern Aegean. By examining the archaeological material from settlements and burials of the middle phase, together with their associated finds of pottery, terracotta figurines, jewellery and weapons, it is hoped that they will provide valuable insight into this phase and provide information concerning the new social and economic structures that arose in response to the loss of the Mycenaean administrative centres. 346p, b/w illus, pls, tabs (BAR S 1498, Archaeopress 2006). 9781841719290.

| Naamboek, van de Wel-Edele Heeren der Hooge Indiasche Regeering, zoo tot, als buiten Batavia; . zo als dezelve onder ultimo December 1771. alhier in weezen zyn bevonden: .Batavia (now Djakarta, Indonesia), Egbert Heemen (printer to the VOC), [1772]. 8vo. Annual VOC directory for the city of Batavia, the East Indies as a whole, Ceylon, and other lands where the VOC (Dutch East India Company) had settlements. Modern half calf with late eighteenth- or early nineteenth-century marbled sides, red sprinkled edges.
|
- (2 blank), (2), 110, (4), (2 blank) pp. Cf. Landwehr 1498 & 1499 (no ed. betw. 1766 & 1775/76); Karlsruher Virt. Kat. (1 copy each for 1767/68, 1770/71, 1773/74); NCC (no ed. betw. 1766 & 1807/08); OCLC (no ed. before 1784/85); STCN (no ed. betw. 1751 & 1775/76). The only recorded copy for this year of an annual directory printed by the VOC's printer at Batavia in the East Indies. All editions between 1766 and 1775/76 appear to be lost or unique (we have traced single copies for 4 of those 8 years, including the present copy of the 1771/72 edition). It covers not only the city of Batavia itself and the East Indies, but also other regions where the VOC had settlements, including an extensive section on Ceylon (pp. 65-82), a shorter one on Bengal (pp. 88-91) and a very short one on Japan (p. 99). The directory gives an extraordinary wealth of information, listing not only the VOC's governors general from 1610 to the time of publication (with exact dates and other information), military and church officials, merchants, ships' captains, bookkeepers and medical doctors, but also carpenters, smiths, sail makers, coopers, masons, coin minters, surveyors, the printers' censor, the inspector of lepers, the Batavian city midwife, and even some unemployed. For nearly all, it reports the date when they took up the named position or joined the VOC. Of special interest at Batavia (with their dates) are the printer of the almanac himself (1767), the master map-maker to the Company's East Indian fleet, Klaas de Loos (1769), and the master bookbinder to the Secretary of the Directors, Augustus Thomszens (1766). The last ten pages list people associated with the VOC who left or died in the course of the year 1771. All in all, a wealth of information (much unavailable in any other surviving source) for both the general study of the VOC and life in its territories, and for the two thousand or so individual people named.Directories (lists of people and their positions, often classed with almanacs but in this case much closer to a modern annual trade directory or telephone directory) were printed at Amsterdam for the VOC from at least 1724, but none printed at Batavia itself is known to survive before 1751 and only those for a few scattered years survive from the first quarter century. From at least the present year, they include data up to the last day of the named year, so that they were clearly published early in the following year (that of 1766 stopped at the end of September and was probably published toward the end of the named year). Egbert Heemen may have printed the directory every year from 1767/68 to 1779/80, but we have traced only 7 editions in a total of 9 copies for these 13 years. The present edition collates: [pi]4 A-G8 = 60 ll., with [pi]1 & G8 blank. It is set in several sizes of roman and italic types dating from the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with a tailpiece built up from fleurons at the end.In fine condition with only an occasional minor smudge, and with "No. 5" in ink in a contemporary hand on the first (blank) page. A fine copy of a unique VOC annual directory, printed in Batavia.

| Golden legend [single leaf].
|
Wynkyn de Worde 1498], [Westmynster - Folio xv of this edition of The Golden Legend has on its verso the beginning of "The Passyon of our lorde" and starts with a dramatic woodcut (8.8 x 7 cm; 3.5" x 2.75") of Christ on the Cross, his side having just been pierced by a pikeman and with a crowd of on-lookers to his left, including a fainted Mary. The text is printed in double-column format in English gothic type. The printer, Wynkyn de Worde (a.k.a., Jan van Wynkyn) was England's first typographer and worked with William Caxton, England's first printer. In 1495, he took over Caxton's print shop, but only after a difficult three-year litigation following Caxton's death in 1491. Provenance: Sold by Dauber & Pine (NY), the firm having dismembered an incomplete copy of the work and offered the individual leaves each with a letter-press leaf serving as ad hoc title-page. English incunable leaves with woodcuts are increasingly difficult to obtain. That this Golden Legend leaf bears the image at the heart of its matter makes it a particularly desirable one. Small folio (27.5 cm; 10.5"). [1] f. STC (rev. ed.) 24876; ESTC S103597; Duff 411; Copinger 6475; Goff J-151. Irregular in the margins and the recto of the leaf with old ink crossing out.

Anton Koberger, Nuremberg 1498 - (Johannes de Verdena) Sermones dormi secure de tempore. Nürnberg, Anton Koberger, 12 mars 1498. Suivi de : Sermones dormi secure de sanctis. Nürnberg, Anton Koberger, 1499 fautivement noté 1511. 2 volumes in-folio. Pleine reliure de l'époque en veau estampé à froid à motifs de fleurs de lys contenues dans des losanges, fleurons et listels. Dans la partie supérieure du 1er plat, super-libros en lettres gothiques " sermones ". Lettrine initiale du 1er ouvrage peinte aux gouaches verte, bleue et rouge, sur fond d'or. Toutes les grandes initiales dans le texte sont peintes alternativement aux gouaches bleue et rouge. Page titre du 1er volume découpée, dernier feuillet découpé, page de titre du 2è volume manquante, 2 découpis sur les 2 derniers feuillets, manquent le feuillet A3 et les feuillets F7 F8 du second volume. Nombreuses surlignures au crayon rouge et annotations marginales. Proctor, dans son Index of german books 1501-1520, relève, à propos du second texte daté 1511, que cette date ne peut être qu'une erreur : " is impossible, the last book of Koberger's printing being dated 1504 june 17. It has the first blank, which makes an early date probable ". Proctor propose les dates de 1499 ou bien 1502. La présence en 1è partie dans notre exemplaire, dans la même fonte de caractère et dans les mêmes dispositions confirme bien cette date de 1499. Anton Koberger (circa 1440-1513), ancien joaillier, est sans conteste le plus important imprimeur allemand du XVè s. Il est le 2ème à établir ses presses à Nuremberg, sensiblement à l'époque où Sensenschmid s'installe dans la ville, soit en 1471. Véritable introducteur de la gravure sur bois, il est l'immortel promoteur de la Chronique de Nuremberg. Travaillant avec Albrecht Dürer, c'est un homme en perpétuel mouvement qui enchaîne à un rythme effréné les publications de toutes sortes, tout en travaillant la forme et l'aspect de ses livres. Ses initiales, somptueusement rehaussées à l'or et aux gouaches, accompagnent merveilleusement les quelques 25 types de fontes différents que l'on relève durant les 35 années de son activité. A titre de comparaison, les autres officines, surtout dans ces époques reculées, n'utilisent que 2 à 5 types de fontes différents. On relève ainsi dans ses productions des polices strasbourgeoises, bâloises, mais aussi françaises ou italiennes. Koberger est un véritable entrepreneur, qui, au même titre que les Plantin, Elzévir, Bodoni ou Didot, révolutionna l'art de la librairie. Belle réunion de 2 éditions incunables de ce célèbre imprimeur de Nuremberg dans une reliure contemporaine. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

An appealing copy. * Only edition. Text in Latin. Along with Venice Pisa and Amalfi, Genoa was one of the maritime republics that dominated trade in the Mediterranean. In addition to Corsica, Sardinia and lands in Liguria and Piedmont, Genoa controlled colonies in the Middle East. Its fortunes declined during the fourteenth century due to the Black Death, which entered Europe through the Genoese trading post at Caffa in the Crimea, and wars with Venice, France and Milan. Genoa would later enjoy a revival of power and prosperity under the leadership of Andrea Doria, who introduced a new constitution in 1528. The 1498 compilation of Genoa's civil and criminal law was issued at a time when Genoa had suffered through nearly a century and a half of misfortune. As one would expect, its statutes and decrees indicate the many problems confronting the state and the scarcely-concealed pessimism of its leaders. KVK locates 8 copies, OCLC locates 9.

Printed in double column in Gothic font, a profusion of large initials with lateral extensions decorated by hand in red and blue and a profusion of smaller letters and initials decorated also by hand in red and blue. There are also: 24 magnificent engraved figures throughout including early reproductions of NoahÕs Ark, The Sacrificial Alter, The Ten Commandments, The Great Menorah and The Temple of Solomon. The commentary, of significant import, is by Cardinal Hugo di Saint-Chair who was active in the early part of the 13th century and who died in 1262. Folio, ff 464 nn., in a superb contemporary binding of full blindstamped pigskin with clasps, the spine with wide raised bands, the covers blocked beautifully with full Renaissance designs. A wonderfully preserved calligraphic rendering on the inner rear board remains and is dated from 1402. Offset from the original vellum pastedown, this is an inclusion of significant import. 464 folio leaves unnumbered. (signed: a-b8, c6, d8, e6, f-g8, h6, i-k8, l 6, m6, n8, o6, p8, q6, r8, s-t6, v8, x6, y8, z6; A-C8, D6, E-G8, H-L6, M-Z ed aa-vv alternating 8 and 6), complete. A superb copy of this rare book. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. The book is extremely fresh, beautifully preserved, and one conjectures nearly as pristine as could be expected. A RARE AND BEAUTIFUL PRINTING OF THE ILLUSTRATED KOBERGER LATIN BIBLE. Anton Koberger was for a number of years the leading publisher of his time. The total list of his printings for the forty years from 1473 to 1513, when he died, comprises no less than two-hundred and thirty-six separate works, including fifteen impressions of the Biblia Latina, eight of which presented material differences of notes and commentaries which entitled them to be considered as distinct editions. "In the actual number of separate works issued, Koberger was possibly equaled by one or more of his contemporaries, but in respect to literary importance and costliness, and in the beauty and excellence of the typography, the Koberger publications were not equaled by any books of the time excepting the issues of Aldus in Venice" (Putnam II, p. 150). This superb illustrated folio Bible is one of the most beautiful printed by Koberger and is a wonderful example of the magnificent productions made during the first generation of printed Bibles, the state of preservation and the impressive binding making it all the more so. Further volumes of the Bible were not published until 1502. This magnificent example, complete, provides one with the opportunity to have a copy of a great illustrated incunable Bible rarely encountered in the open marketplace. [Attributes: Signed Copy]

Venice, Aldus Manutius, 1498. - Folio. 17th/18th century polished calf, spine richly gilt in compartments with red morocco title label, both sides with triple gilt fillets along the edges and large gilt oval coat-of-arms in the centre, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers. The coat-of-arms is of Henri-Louis Loménie, comte de Brienne (1658-1743), son of Louis Henry Loménie de Brienne.

The 'Opera omnia' of Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494), one of the great Florentine humanists and tutor to Lorenzo de'Medici's children, printed by the most famous printer/publisher of the incunable's period: Aldus Manutius at Venice.According to Renouard, the great bibliographer of the Aldine editions, this rare edition is "l'une des plus belles qui soient sorties de l'imprimerie Aldine".The publication of the Opera omnia of Poliziano has a complex history. It has been usual to regard the edition as part of some 'grand design' of humanist publication: apart from Aldus' admiration for Poliziano as the embodiment of that perfect philological skill to which he himself aspired, we might notice that the book was printed as a large folio, costing 1.4 ducats and demanding typographic experiments such as the first use of Hebrew letters (Lowry).Indeed Poliziano was the outstanding humanist of his day, a talented scholar whose breadth of reading was very great and whose range of interests included history, politics, jurisprudence, architecture, botany, and even cooking. These interests were accompanied by a remarkable ability to handle Greek, in which language Poliziano composed many epigrams. His influence on the subsequent course of Humanism was considerable. He may be considered the father of textual criticism, for he was the first to consider carefully the relationship between manuscripts and to stress the need to reconstruct the original text. He brought all these talents to bear on thorny textual and interpretative questions in texts like his Miscellanea (1489) and his commentary of the Pandects. He also translated many Greek texts into Latin such as the Manual of Epictetus and a number of books of the Ilias. And then there is his own poetical output that reflects his scholarly eclecticism; he wrote in an erudite style, displaying his own considerable reading.Poliziano was a celebrity in his day. Among those who idolized him was the young Aldus Manutius who decided to publish Poliziano's complete works in the late '90s. After Poliziano's death in 1494 the humanist Pico della Mirandola started a project to organize Poliziano's papers to the end of publishing an edition of his collected works, which eventually became our edition published by Aldus and edited by Alessandro Sarti.After the title comes on its verso Aldus' dedication to Marinus Sannutus.f. 2r-v: The contents of the work: the authors of the letters, divided into 12 books as well as the list of Poliziano's works.f. a3r-t8v: Epistolarum lib. 1-12.f.

In addition to Corsica, Sardinia and lands in Liguria and Piedmont, Genoa controlled colonies in the Middle East. Its fortunes declined during the fourteenth century due to the Black Death, which entered Europe through the Genoese trading post at Caffa in the Crimea, and wars with Venice, France and Milan. Genoa would later enjoy a revival of power and prosperity under the leadership of Andrea Doria, who introduced a new constitution in 1528. The 1498 compilation of Genoa's civil and criminal law was issued at a time when Genoa had suffered through nearly a century and a half of misfortune. As one would expect, its statutes and decrees indicate the many problems confronting the state and the scarcely-concealed pessimism of its leaders. KVK locates 8 copies, OCLC locates 9.

RABBI SAMUEL. [ BUENHOMBRE (Alfonso),
|
| Epistola Rabbi Samuelis Israhelite missa ad Rabbi Ysaac magistrum Synagoge in subjulmeta civitate regis Morochorum. Qua judeus ille catecuminus aridam judeorum de Messia spem stimulans ipsos necnon eorum posteros sua spe super testimoniis legis et prophetarum de venturo Messia esse frustratos iam mirando tandem timendo et expavescendo: apetissime demonstrat. Annexa est etiam in fine Pontii Pilati de indubitata Hiesu resurrectione epistola ad Tiberium imperatorem.
|
(colophon) Impressa est Epistola Rabbi Samuelis: una cum testimonii duo decim patriarcharum Epistolaeque pontii Pilati huic anexis. Arte litteraria famati Casparis Hochfeders nurenbergensis. decimanona Martii anno salvatoris nostri M.cccc.xcviii (1498). in-4. (1f.blanc) 22ff. (signatures A-C6, D4). Caractères gothiques, 2 colonnes et 35 lignes par page. Parchemin moderne frotté. Important texte contre les Juifs, inspiré d'une ?uvre de Rabi Samuel Abu Nasr Ibn Abbas, juif marocain converti à l'Islam, et traduit librement de l'arabe par le dominicain espagnol Alfonso Buenhombre (originaire de Tolède et mort en 1353) qui a transformé en polémique chrétienne le texte original pro-musulman. Paru pour la première fois en 1475 à Mantoue, cet ouvrage devint l'un des fleurons de la littérature antisémite, réimprimé pendant plus de 2 siècles, traduit en plusieurs langues et diffusé à travers toute l'Europe. Précieuse édition incunable imprimée à Metz par le maître imprimeur allemand Caspar Hochfeder, qui venait de quitter sa ville natale de Nuremberg pour s'installer en Lorraine. Le colophon ne porte aucune mention de lieu d'impression mais, comme l'indique Rosenthal, plusieurs indices concordent à désigner Metz où l'imprimerie avait été introduite dès 1482. "Edition extrêmement rare. La souscription de ce volume est remarquable. En effet, c'est la première fois et nous pouvons dire la seule fois, que nous voyons un livre portant: 'Imprimé par l'art savant du fameux (ou du renommé) Caspar Hochfeder de Nuremberg'. Hochfeder imprima le même livre en allemand; il porte: 'Nuremberg, Caspar Hochfeder, 1498'. Il imprima à Metz en allemand le roman de Flore et Blanchefleur qui porte en souscription 'Gedruckt zu Metzs in der Freyenloblichen statt durch Caspar Hochfeder... 1499'. Dans ces deux ouvrages, il ne dit pas qu'il est de Nüremberg, pourquoi donc prend-il cette qualification dans la lettre ci-dessus ? Evidemment parce qu'il a quitté sa ville natale, où il a imprimé un certain nombre d'ouvrages, pour aller chercher fortune ailleurs. Entre 1498 et 1499 on ne cite aucun livre imprimé par lui dans une autre ville; nous devons donc croire, sinon avec une entière certitude, du moins avec une très grande probabilité, que notre 'Epistola Rabbi Samuelis' a été imprimée à Metz. Remarquons encore que le papier porte en filigrane le P gothique du premier livre de l'Imitation de J.C. imprimé à Metz en 1482" (Rosenthal). "The fact that Hochfeder describes himself as 'nurembergensis' in this book only may indicate that he printed it at Metz, where he moved in 1498 or 1499" (National Union Catalogue). Page de titre légèrement salie. Infime trace de mouillure dans la marge du fond de quelques feuillets. Bon exemplaire portant une mention manuscrite ancienne sur la page de titre "printed 1498 vide close of book", et une signature au verso du premier feuillet blanc: "Chs Greene 1838". Rosenthal, Bibliotheca Magica et Pneumatica, 3885. Goff, S-113 (croyant le volume imprimé à Nurenberg). Manque à Brunet.
