ALbertinus de Lisona, (Venetiis) 1502 - Perg. con materiale ant. 24 cc.nn. L'acenno alla vittoria di Britannia fa supporre che P. M. abbia scritto, fra il 43 e il 44 d.C., i tre libri che costituiscono la più antica opera geografica in latino a noi giunta. L'opera è fondamentale per lo studio della cartografia classica. Il Barbaro (1453 o 1454 - 1493) viene collocato nel gruppo dei grandi filologi della seconda metà del Quattrocento, accanto a Lorenzo Valla, a Giorgio Merula, che egli conobbe assai bene, al Poliziano, a cui lo univa , oltre a una personale simpatia, il comune proposito di restaurare la classicità nel suo splendore offuscato dalle barbarie. - Antico ex-libris ms. e 2 antichi timbri sul titolo. La carta leggermente brunita, alone d'acqua al margine int. di parte del vol., strappetto al margine int. del titolo, ma esemplare a larghi margini con testimoni.

WIJK ROELANDSZ., Jacobus van.

| Korte Schets der Nederlandsche Ontdekkingen.Groningen, Jan Oomkens Jansz., 1842. Small 8vo. With a folding chronological table of 34 sites discovered by Dutch voyagers in the years 1445 to 1835. Original publisher’s pink silk over boards, letterpress printed on the front and back, blue-coated endpapers, gilt edges.
|
- 36, (1) pp. Sabin 72588 (without location); NCC (3 copies); Karlsruher Virt. Kat. (1 copy); NNBW III, p. 1502; not in Church; Eberstadt; Streeter; OCLC WorldCat. A lovely little book, bound in letterpress-printed pink silk, on the Dutch discoveries in America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the East Indies, the Arctic and even the Antarctic. After a brief account of Joshua van der Berg’s 1445 (actually 1432) discovery of the Azores, the book recounts the discoveries in four sections: the Arctic, the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Antarctic. This last covers Dirck Gerritszoon’s still disputed possible sighting of the South Shetland Islands in 1598. The table at the end lists the principal sites with the name of the explorer, date, longitude and latitude. The author’s preliminary note provides unusually detailed information about the origins of the book, and the printed advertisement on the back cover gives a list of the author’s school maps: seven already published by Oomkens and three more in press (with prices and references to reviews in seven newspapers and magazines in 1841 and 1842).Van Wijk (1781-1847) began work as a school teacher and author of school books in 1802, and is best known for his 11-volume geographic dictionary (1821-1835). When Jan Oomkens (1809/10-1872), the third bookseller, printer and publisher of that name, completed his studies studied at Van Wijk’s Kampen institute, he extracted a promise, made half in jest, that Van Wijk would edit or write Oomkens’ first publication. The result was a series of school maps Van Wijk produced with the aid of his colleague R. van de Weerd and the lithographer C. F. J. Jaeger, and the present book. The excellent laid paper used for the text, table and endpapers must have been made to the publisher’s order, for it is watermarked: J Oomkens = horn on a crowned shield above initials JO. We have located only four other copies of this book, and it is not clear whether any other is preserved in a pink silk binding.In fine condition, with the paper fresh and crisp. The silk is frayed along the front hinge and at the corners, but the binding is still in very good condition. A rare and lovely little book, with valuable information on Oomkens’ rare school maps.

Antwerp, Govaert Bac, 1502. - 4to. Nineteenth-century polished calf with double gilt lines along the edges of both sides, gilt spine with title lettered in gold, marbled endpapers, gilt inner dentelles. With a full-page woodcut (115 x 84 mm) of a monk offering a book to a prince, repeated on the verso of the title; and full-page woodcut of the printer's device of Govaert Bac on the verso of the last leaf (133 x 84 mm): 'g [masters mark] b' cut within a birdcage on a black fond, with the coat of arms of Antwerp underneath (see NAT II, 5-6); rubricated in red throughout. 36 lvs. (Collation: a8, b4, c8, d4, e8, f4). 36 ll. to a page. Fourth copy known of this very rare post-incunable edition, and the fourth edition of this text printed in the Netherlands, of these two very popular treatises: (1) The book of secrets of Albertus Magnus, or Experiments, but mostly referred to as the Liber aggregationis: a combined work in which are described the virtues, real or imagined, of plants, stones, and animals. The plants, stones - the stones part includes numerous gemstones -, and animals are each briefly described and magical properties explained, and (2) De mirabilibus mundi, on the marvels of the Universe, that covers a variety of topics: astrology, zoology, astronomy, medicine, and physiology. These two treatises are sometimes attributed to Albertus Magnus (ca. 1193-1280), sometimes to Albertus of Saxonia, but nowadays considered to belong to the spurious works of Albertus. Added are (1) a section on maintaining one's health, the Regimen sanitatis attributed to Benedictus Kanuti (f. 24v-26r), and (2) the anonymous Quaestiones naturalis philosophorum (f. 26v-36r). Thorndike devoted an entire chapter to 'Three treatises ascribed to Albertus Magnus but usually considered spurious: Experimenta Alberti (=1), De mirabilibus mundi (=2), De secretis mulierum (not in this edition)'. The two treatises already circulated under Albert Magnus' name in the middle ages and appeared in numerous editions in the early years of printing, proving that these brief collections of superstitious experiments and sensational marvels were even more popular than Albert's longer, more difficult and argumentative, theological and scientific works.In the first treatise the author intends to make use of Kiranides and the book of Alcorath, later said to be by Hermes, and to speak first of certain herbs, than of certain stones and certain animals and of their virtues, showing the importance of natural objects in magic, and the virtues here ascribed to them are often indeed magical: one may become invisible, not feel pain, boil water instantly, make a rainbow appear, excite love between two persons, or arouse joy, sadness and other emotional and intellectual states, interpret any dream, and prophesy concerning the future, to name only a few instances. The treatise has an experimental character, which is to be classed as one of those 'books of experiments', or 'experimental books', and if this treatise is not by Albert himself, there can at least be little doubt that it pretends to be a product of his experimental school among the Dominicans at Cologne.The second treatise, the 'Marvels of the Universe' contains more theological discussion of the usual scholastic sort than the first, and so approximates rather more nearly to the form of most of Albert's works. The 'Marvels' enters upon a long and learned preliminary discussion of the validity, causes, and principles of magic before beginning its list of particular marvels, showing that the mind can bind and alter objects as it desires; the human soul can alter its own body or exterior objects, especially if its influence concurs with a favourable astrological hour. It further treats the magic power in man and specific marvels. Also a number of cures for certain diseases are described. Many of the recipes aim at magical or optical illusions, f.e. the fabrication of marvellous candles, lights and combustibles, some of which are perhaps akin to modern fi [Attributes: Hard Cover]

JOSEPHUS, Flavius.
|
| De antiquitatibus ac de bello Judaico.
|
Venice, excusit formis Bernardinus Vercellensis, sumptibus Andreae Asulani, 1502, XII Kal. Novemb. - Folio. Contemporary blindtooled half vellum over wooden boards, remnants of two brass clasps. Some initials left blank, but mostly provided in woodcuts. (14), CCLX (=261), (1) lvs. Fine Venetian edition of Flavius Josephus's famous works on the ancient Jewish history in twenty books and on the Jewish wars in seven books, mostly published together. The present Latin translation, first printed at Augsburg by Johann Schüssler in 1470, has long been attributed to Rufinus, but was more probably made by Cassiodorus. In the first work, the classical Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (ca. 37-100) treats the ancient history of the Jews, since the creation of the world to the revolt of Judea against the Romans. This work is of great importance, not only for the study of ancient Jewish history but also for the archeology of the canon books and the apocrypha. He wrote it for a Roman public, explaining Jewish traditions to outsiders and supplying a wealth of information on Jewish customs and habits. The second work, on the Jewish war against the Romans and the destruction of Jerusalem was originally written in Hebrew, but translated by the author himself into Greek to offer it to Vespasianus. Josephus had also taken part in this war and his work is very complete and full of details on this subject. His works were highly valued, especially in the sixteenth century. Fine copy in contemporary binding, with contemp. ms. rubrication and marginal notes in red on title and in text up till leaf XVI. Contemporary ms. notes in margins and on verso last leaf, partly affected by the frayed margin: "cronologia filiorum venerandi Bartolomei sirtich (?)" dated from 1533 to 1540.- (Outer margins of title frayed and of last two lvs. dam., not affecting the text).

Primera edición alemana en un ejemplar genuino y precioso. La edición original se publicó en latín en Lübeck: Ghotan, 1492; la segunda por el mismo Koberger en 1500 y a esta alemana le siguió otra latina en 1517. Uno de los libros ilustrados más bellos del renacimiento norteuropeo.Las Revelationes de Santa Birgitta (s. XIV) es uno de los primeros textos medievales de inspiración ascética y declaran las visiones de esta religiosa sueca (educada en un monasterio español de la orden cisterciense) y las profecías reveladas por Jesucristo y por la Virgen María: son consejos para conseguir acercar la vida del hombre a la rectitud religiosa y anuncios de los terribles castigos y sufrimientos que esperan al hombre pecador después de la muerte. Por su tono educativo y apocalíptico se convirtió en uno de los textos de referencia mística de la Edad Media.El libro se imprimió en 1492 para el uso y estudio de las religiosas del Monasterio de la Orden de Santa Brigita de Vadstena. Fue el secretario del emperador Maximiliano, Florián Waldauf (un devoto de la santa sueca) quien persuadió a Maximiliano para que instara a Koberger a publicar las revelationes y éstas pudieran ser divulgadas entre los monasterios alemanes. Así el propio Koberger se encargó de recuperar los tacos de madera de la primera edición y darlos de nuevo a la tinta: desde siempre se ha creído que las xilografías son obra de Durero, de Lucas Cranach y de Hans de Kulmbach y la autoría definitiva queda como uno de los grandes enigmas de la historia de la ilustración: se sabe seguro que los tacos salieron del taller de Durero y que éste participó en los bocetos y en la ejecución de, al menos, los dos escudos nobiliarios.

MELA, Pomponius.
|
| Very rare important early sixteenth-century edition of the earliest Roman geographer Pomponius Mela cosmographus De situ orbis Hermolai Barbari fideliter emendatus.
|
(Venice), Albertino da Vercelli (Albertino de Lisona Vercellensis), 1502, 14 May. - 4to. 19th century red half morocco, spine and corners gilt, marbled endpapers. Unrubricated; 38 lines to a page. 24 lvs. Collation: a-f4. Very rare important early sixteenth-century edition of Pomponius Mela's De Situ Orbis [A Description of the World], also known as De Chorographia (Concerning Chorography), the first extant geographical work in Latin and the only Roman treatise of the classical period devoted exclusively to that subject. Pomponius assumed a spherical earth that lay in the middle of the world and was divided into two hemispheres and five climatic zones. Three continents - Europe, Africa, and Asia - made up the habitable world, which was completely surrounded by a great ocean. Pomponius Mela, who wrote around AD 43, was the earliest Roman geographer. His little work (De situ orbis libri III) is a compendium, occupying less than one hundred pages of ordinary print, rather dry in style and deficient in method, but of pure Latinity, and occasionally relieved by pleasing word-pictures. Excepting the geographical parts of Pliny's Historia naturalis (where Mela is cited as an important authority) the De situ orbis is the only formal treatise on the subject in classical Latin. Nothing is known of the author except his name and birthplace - the small town of Tingentera or Cingentera in southern Spain. The general views of the De situ orbis mainly agree with those current among Greek writers from Eratosthenes to Strabo ; the latter was probably unknown to Mela. But Pomponius is unique among ancient geographers in that, after dividing the earth into five zones, of which two only were habitable, he asserts the existence of antichthones, inhabiting the southern temperate zone inaccessible to the folk of the northern temperate regions from the unbearable heat of the intervening torrid belt.The editio princeps of Pomponius Mela was published in Milan in 1471. That text, however was corrupt and full of errors. The first edition of Mela's text which was corrected and edited by the Italian poet and scholar Ermolao Barbaro (Hermolaus Barbarus) was printed in Venice by Christoph de Pensis (da Mandello) in ca. 1494-98. Another edition was published in 1498 in Salamanca before the text was published for the second time in Venice by Giovanni Battista Sessa in October 1501, a few months before our edition left the press. The present edition is therefore the third (or fourth?) edition of Barbaro's text of Mela.Ermolao Barbaro was born in Venice in 1453 or 54. At an early age he was sent to Rome, where he studied under Pomponius Laetus. He completed his education at the University of Padua, where he was appointed professor of philosophy in 1477. He was sent on various missions to persons of high rank, amongst them Pope Innocent VIII, by whom he was nominated to the important office of patriarch of Aquileia (1491). The Venetian senate, however, refused to ratify the appointment, which, contrary to the law, he had accepted without first obtaining its sanction. He was banished and forced to resign the patriarchate. Barbarus remained at Rome, in receipt of a small pension from the pontifical government, until his death (probably from the plague) in 1493. He edited and translated a number of classical works, of which the most important were: Castigationes Plinianae (1492), in which he boasted of having made 5000 corrections in the text and the Castigationes in Pomponium Melam (1493, in the year Columbus returned from the New World!), in which Barbaro makes more than 300 corrections and emendations. On these Castigationes all the Mela-editions after 1493 are based, providing the best text until the Vadianus edition (Basel 1522).On the verso of the title is the dedicatory letter of Barbaro to Pope Alexander VI (Rodrigo Borgia, 1431-1503; pope: 1492-1503). The three books of Mela's text follow: Book 1: the division of the world in four parts, description of Europe, Africa, Asia and Arabia (ff. ii r-ix r); book 2: Description of Asia, Italy, Fr [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Lazaro de Soardi,, Venezia, 1502 - In 8° (152x100). Bella silografia al frontespizio. Legatura in piena pelle coeva con fregi a secco, tagli goffrati. Buon esemplare"Juan De Torquemada (1388-1468), or rather Johannes De Turrecremata, Spanish ecclesiastic, was born at Valladolid, in 1388, and was educated in that city. At an early age he joined the Dominican order, and soon distinguished himself for learning and devotion. In 1415 he accompanied the general of his order to the Council of Constance, whence he proceeded to Paris for study, and took his doctor"s degree in 1423. After teaching for some time in Paris he became prior of the Dominican house first in Valladolid and then in Toledo. In 1431 Pope Eugenius IV. called him to Rome and made him "magister sancti palatii." At the Council of Basel he was one of the ablest supporters of the view of the Roman curia, and he was rewarded with a cardinal"s hat in 1439. He died at Rome on the 26th of September 1468." [EB 11th)Torequemada's commentary on the Psalter was composed in Rome in 1463.Peter Schoeffer is one of the great names in the history of printing.

HERODOTUS.
|
| The elegant and famous editio princeps by Aldus Manutius of 'the Father of History', from the Arenberg library! (Historiarum) Libri novem. Quibus musarum indita sunt nomina. (and title in Greek: Herodotu Logoi ennea, hoi per epika luntai musai)
|
Venice, Aldus Manutius, September 1502. - Folio. Late nineteenth-century full polished calf, sides blind-tooled: a floral border around a central panel with checked ruling with stamps of a fleur-de-lys and the coat of arms of the Dukes of Arenberg in the centre, ribbed spine, edges dyed green. With Aldus's printer's device on the title and on the verso of the last leaf. (140) lvs. (Collation: 2A-2R8, 2S4). Splendid copy of the famous editio princeps of the original Greek text of the works of Herodotus, 'The Father of History', published and edited by Aldus Manutius at Venice on the basis of many manuscripts, as Aldus underlines in his dedication to Giovanni Calfurnio da Brescia (f. 2A1v in Latin characters. Aldus had formed the great design of printing all the masterpieces of Greek literature, and on that project all his thoughts were intent. In 1490 he had settled at Venice, and entered upon preparations for his task. A Cretan, Marcus Musurus, was the most important of his assistants. The handwriting of Musurus was the pattern from which Aldo's Greek type was cast.In 1493 Aldus began his series of Greek editions with less important works as the Hero and Leander of Musaeus. Thenceforward Aldo's work was prosecuted with steady vigour, though not without some enforced interruptions. The whole of Hesiod, with Theocritus (thirty Idylls), Theognis, and some other gnomic poetry, came out in 1495. Aristotle, in five volumes, appeared in the years 1495-8. Nine plays of Aristophanes were issued in 1498. The year 1502 produced Thucydides, Sophocles, and, above all, our Herodotus-edition. When Aldo died in 1515, he had produced twenty-eight editiones principes of Greek and Latin classics within the space of some twenty-two years.In the opinion of the great eighteenth-century classical scholar Wesseling, this editio princeps is a very faithful and accurate edition, compiled with great care, and executed with considerable typographical elegance. Another scholar, Bergler, ranks the edition with the very best productions of the Aldine press (Dibdin).Aldus, attuned to the spirit of his times, valued Herodotus, not only for his 'sweet, candid, and flowing language, but also for the merit of his contributions to the study of the past and foreign cultures. He defends the study of Herodotus and sets the stage for his popularity in the sixteenth century.Herodotus of Halicarnassus was a Greek historian from Ionia who lived in the 5th century BC (ca. 484 BC-ca. 425 BC). He is almost exclusively known for writing The Histories, a record of his 'inquiries' into the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars which occurred in 490 and 480-479 BCE - especially since he includes a narrative account of that period, which would otherwise be poorly documented, and many long digressions concerning the various places and peoples he encountered during wide-ranging travels around the lands of the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Herodotus gives us a lot of information concerning the nature of the world and the status of the sciences during his lifetime.Written between 431 BC and 425 BC, The Histories were divided by later editors into nine books, named after the nine Muses (the 'Muse of History', Clio, represented the first book).The first six books deal broadly with the growth of the Persian Empire. The tale begins with an account of the first 'western' monarch to enter into conflict with an 'eastern' people - Croesus of Lydia attacked the Greek city-states of Ionia, and then (misinterpreting a cryptic oracle), also attacked the Persians. Croesus was defeated by Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire, and Lydia became a Persian province. The second book forms a lengthy digression concerning the history of Egypt, which Cyrus' successor, Cambyses, annexed to the Empire. The following four books deal with the further growth of the Empire under Darius, the Ionian Revolt, and the burning of Sardis (an act participated in by Athens and at least one other Greek polis). The sixth book describes the very first Persi [Attributes: Signed Copy]

Aldus Manutius, 1502., Venice: - Pollux, Julius [Poludeukes, Ioulios] (fl. 2nd cent. A.D.). [Onomasticon] Pollucis vocabularii index in latinum tralatus, ut vel graece nescientibus nota sint Folio. [104]ff. Venice: apud Aldum, April 1502. 296 x 201 mm. 18th or early 19th cent. gilt-ruled calf, a little rubbed, rebacked preserving original gilt spine. Fine copy.Editio princeps. Pollux, a Greek grammarian and sophist from Alexandria, was appointed professor of rhetoric at the Academy in Athens by the Roman Emperor Commodus (son of Marcus Aurelius). According to Philostratus's Lives of the Sophists, Pollux was given this post on account of his melodious voice. Pollux was the author of numerous rhetorical works, of which only a few titles survive, and the Onomasticon, a thesaurus of Attic Greek synonyms and phrases arranged thematically in ten books. "It supplies in passing much rare and valuable information on many points of classical antiquity- objects in daily life, the theater, politics- and quotes numerous fragments of lost works. Pollux was probably the person satirized by Lucian as a worthless and ignorant person who gains a reputation as an orator by sheer effrontery, and pilloried in his Lexiphanes, a satire upon the affectation of obscure and obsolete words" (Encyclopaedia Britannica [1999]). The editio princeps of Pollux's Onomasticon, issued by Aldus Manutius in 1502, made the work widely available to Renaissance scholars and antiquaries, and anatomists of the period drew on the Onomasticon for obscure Greek words to describe parts of the body. The Onomasticon was a valuable source of information for several important nineteenth century works of classical scholarship, and has continued to attract the interest of researchers in a variety of fields-in 2004, John H. Dierkx published an article on "Dermatologic terms in the Onomasticon of Julius Pollux" in The American Journal of Dermatopathology. Adams P-1787. Ahmanson-Murphy 54.

Original publisher’s pink silk over boards, letterpress printed on the front and back, blue-coated endpapers, gilt edges.

A lovely little book, bound in letterpress-printed pink silk, on the Dutch discoveries in America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the East Indies, the Arctic and even the Antarctic. After a brief account of Joshua van der Berg’s 1445 (actually 1432) discovery of the Azores, the book recounts the discoveries in four sections: the Arctic, the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Antarctic. This last covers Dirck Gerritszoon’s still disputed possible sighting of the South Shetland Islands in 1598. The table at the end lists the principal sites with the name of the explorer, date, longitude and latitude. The author’s preliminary note provides unusually detailed information about the origins of the book, and the printed advertisement on the back cover gives a list of the author’s school maps: seven already published by Oomkens and three more in press (with prices and references to reviews in seven newspapers and magazines in 1841 and 1842).Van Wijk (1781-1847) began work as a school teacher and author of school books in 1802, and is best known for his 11-volume geographic dictionary (1821-1835). When Jan Oomkens (1809/10-1872), the third bookseller, printer and publisher of that name, completed his studies studied at Van Wijk’s Kampen institute, he extracted a promise, made half in jest, that Van Wijk would edit or write Oomkens’ first publication. The result was a series of school maps Van Wijk produced with the aid of his colleague R. van de Weerd and the lithographer C. F. J. Jaeger, and the present book. The excellent laid paper used for the text, table and endpapers must have been made to the publisher’s order, for it is watermarked: J Oomkens = horn on a crowned shield above initials JO. We have located only four other copies of this book, and it is not clear whether any other is preserved in a pink silk binding.In fine condition, with the paper fresh and crisp. The silk is frayed along the front hinge and at the corners, but the binding is still in very good condition. A rare and lovely little book, with valuable information on Oomkens’ rare school maps.

|
Venice, Christophorus de Pensis for L. A. Giunta. 4 July 1502 4to. ff. 172 unnumbered (last blank); A4, a-x8; mm 210x130. Roman letter, title and Giunta's device beneath, both in red, one large white on black initial, 78 smaller, some spaces with guide letters, 150 woodcut illustrations of plants in text (7 slightly watercoloured). General light age-yellowing, browning in some ll., some faint marginal foxing throughout, a few old restorations to tears on t-p's margins and on a couple of early ll. not compromising text, occasional marginal waterstains, two contemp. ms annotations and manicula in ink by different hands. Generally a good copy with nice impressions on thick paper, contemporary calf, covers blind ruled, outer frame and two rectangular central panels with floral tools and angels playing, missing straps, rebacked, two raised bands, joints a little worn. Very early Italian edition of this Latin herbal, an anonymous compilation from classical, Arabic and medieval sources, first published in Mainz in 1484. It was the first illustrated botanical work printed in Germany and the prototype for almost all succeeding herbals. The illustrations are from the blocks cut for the 1491 Vicenza edition, which were imported to Venice by Simon Bevilacqua for his edition of 1499. Following an error in the text of this edition, the work has been attributed to Arnaldus de Villanova, a Spanish royal doctor active in Montpellier and Paris between the end of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th. The work is divided into two sections. The former features 150 woodcuts of plants which grew in Germany, arranged in alphabetical order with a Latin name and a description of their properties and medical uses. Among the best known are garlic, basil, camomile, ivy, gentian, genista, lily, lemon verbena, mallow, mint, marjoram, mandrake, oregano, leek, poppy, rose, rosemary, currant, spinach, willow, sage, violet, valerian. Among the rarest is 'artemisia' or mugwort, a plant used in the past to cure female illnesses and problems. A bath in the water of a decoction made essentially with mugwort and laurel's leaves would induce abortion of a foetus and menstruation. Mugwort was also used to treat frigidity and sterility, and to keep demons away from home. The latter section, in 96 chapters, deals with the medicines and herbs available from German apothecaries and spice merchants such as laxatives; aromatics, fruits, seeds and garden plants; gums and resins; salts; minerals and stones; and animals and their products (goose-greese, cheese, honey and ivory). The purpose of the work was entirely practical. The illustrations are stylised and simple (and not without charm), and the names are printed clearly in capital letters, so that the plants could be easily identified by, and accessible to a barely literate public. A very valuable and popular pharmacopoeia which went through a number of editions, of which the Italian ones display "a different and better set of figures" (Arber p. 17). Klebs 506.11. Essling 1191.

| LO SBANDIERATORE 1502

"Bulino, circa 1502, monogrammato in lastra al centro-destra. Esemplare nella prima variante delle tre descritte dal Meder. Magnifica prova, particolarmente ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, rifilata al rame, lievi interventi di restauro perfettamente eseguiti agli angoli superiori e nella montagna sullo sfondo, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Meder data la lastra al 1500, mentre motivi stilistici inducono Panofsky alla datazione intorno al 1502/3. Il paesaggio sullo sfondo e' molto simile ad unaltra opera dellartista, il San Giorgio in piedi (Meder 55), che recenti studi datano allo stesso periodo. Bibliografia: Bartsch 87; Meder 92 a/c; Panofsky 194." Engraving, 1502 approx., signed with monogram on plate on centre-right. Example in the first state of the three described by Meder. Excellent work, rich in shadows, printed on contemporary laid paper without watermark, trimmed to platemark, small perfectly executed repairs on upper corners and on the mountain on the background. Meder dated the plate up to 1500, while some stylistic characteristics make Panofsky postpone the date to 1502/3. The landscape is very close to the one it can be seen on another work of the artist, St. George (Meder 55), which has been realized in the same period. 70 115

In 8 (152x100). Bella silografia al frontespizio. Legatura in piena pelle coeva con fregi a secco, tagli goffrati. Buon esemplare"Juan De Torquemada (1388-1468), or rather Johannes De Turrecremata, Spanish ecclesiastic, was born at Valladolid, in 1388, and was educated in that city. At an early age he joined the Dominican order, and soon distinguished himself for learning and devotion. In 1415 he accompanied the general of his order to the Council of Constance, whence he proceeded to Paris for study, and took his doctor"s degree in 1423. After teaching for some time in Paris he became prior of the Dominican house first in Valladolid and then in Toledo. In 1431 Pope Eugenius IV. called him to Rome and made him "magister sancti palatii." At the Council of Basel he was one of the ablest supporters of the view of the Roman curia, and he was rewarded with a cardinal"s hat in 1439. He died at Rome on the 26th of September 1468." [EB 11th)Torequemada's commentary on the Psalter was composed in Rome in 1463.Peter Schoeffer is one of the great names in the history of printing. He was, with Johannes Furst ,a partner in the first books of Johannes Gutenberg. He was initially a calligrapher who apprenticed to Gutenberg and designed type for him. After Gutenberg"s bankrupcy he formed a partnership with Fust and eventually married his daughter. He has been called the first truly successful
