(à la fin:) Venetiis, per J. Baptista Sessam, 1504. in-folio. 20ff. Demi-vélin, pièce de titre rouge (Reliure postérieure). Troisième édition de cet ouvrage classique, l'un des premiers traités d'optique et de perspective qui était paru pour la première fois à Milan vers 1482. La présente édition fut donnée par l'astronome napolitain Luca Gaurico (1476-1558), à qui l'on doit d'autres éditions d'Archimède et de Ptolémée et qui enseigna à Bologne, Mantoue, Ferrare et Rome. Ce précieux volume traite de problèmes d'optique, de la lumière, de la physiologie de l'œil, de la formation des images par réfraction et il aborde sous cet angle les phénomènes de la perspective. Son influence fut considérable aussi bien dans le domaine de l'optique que dans celui de la peinture où les lois de la perspective commençaient à intéresser les artistes de la fin du Moyen Age et du début de la Renaissance. On le considère par ailleurs comme l'un des premiers livres de science "modernes", illustrés de figures techniques insérées dans le texte. "Peckham's thirteenth century treatise on optics, first published ca. 1482, was the generally accepted medieval handbook on the subject and used in the universities until Kepler's day. His most original contribution to optics is his description of concave refracting surfaces; the first time that such glasses were mentioned" (Source Book of Ohthalmology). La page de titre présente un grand bois gravé représentant un maître et ses élèves. Nombreuses figures de géométrie et d'optique dans le texte. Très bon exemplaire, malgré une légère trace de mouillure angulaire. Source Book of Ohthalmology, 1755.

CHRYSOSTOMUS. JOHANNES
|
| Accipe candissimi lector opera diui Joannis Chrysostomi Archiepiscopi Constantinopolitani. (Vol. one of three)
|
- Basel, Jacobi de Pfortzen (Jacob of Pfortzheim), 4th of December 1504 (on colophon). Folio. Cont. full calf over wooden boards. Three raised bands to back and richly blindstamped boards. Remains of old brass clasps to back board and new clasps in old style. Old brass corners andend piecs to boards. Rebacked preserving most of the old leather back, which is fairly crackled. Cont. Latin inscription to inside of front board. Title page repaired w. loss to title and part of index. Reapir to upper margin of second leaf, not affcting text. Some dampstaining to upper margin of first half of leaves, Last leaf w. marginal tears and loss, not affecting text. First leaf of fist part repaired, no loss. Ff. (8), CVIII (Homelia prima - Homelia Octuagesima); CXXII (Homelia I - Homelia XLIIII, Liber primus - Liber sextus dialogum, Liber primus - Liber secundus De compunctione cordis, Tractatus de reparatione lapsi, Liber primus - Liber tertius De providentia dei, Sermo I - Sermo XXXVI). A scarce early edition of the first part of the works of St. John Chrysostom (ca. 347-407). The famous Greek preacher, theologian and liturgist, Ionannes Chrysostomos, also Archbishop of Constantinople, was renowned for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, hence his name (Gold-Mouth). The most famous of his works are probably his Homilies on various books of the Bible and his Sermons, both which are present in this first part of his Works. He is honoured as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and by the Eastern Catholic Churches, and together with Basil the Great and Gregory the Theologian, the two last count him among the Three Holy Hierarchs. In 381 Chrysostomos was ordained a deacon and in 386 a Bishop. He became very popular and admired for his speeches and sermons, and he was particularly well liked among the people because of his concerns for the poor and his outspokenness against abuse of wealth. He was also considered easy to understand, due to his direct interpretations of the Scriptures, which made his preaching practical and aimed at everyday life. He also founded a number of hospitals in Constantinople, which secured him popular support. In 298 he was appointed Archbishop of Constantinople, but he still refused to take advantage of the privileges granted him as such. He thus became more and more popular with the people but less and less popular with the wealthy citizens and the clergy, and he tried to reform the clergy in Constantinople and rid them of their high lifestyle. Due to his ideologies and abilities as a preacher, Chrysostomos became hugely influential, and his works continue to be of the greatest importance. He is now generally considered the most prominent doctor of the Greek Church, and his works are probably the best preserved of those of any of the Greek Fathers.Graesse II:152.

T.p. in red and black,decorated initials. Gabriel Barletta (Sometimes called Barlete, De Barolo, Barolus) " Preacher, b., according to some, in the Neapolitan territory at Barletta, whence he took his name, or, according to others, at Aquino; d. sometime after 1480. Little is known of his life other than that he was a Dominican and probably a pupil of St. Antoninus. All his contemporaries held him in high esteem as an orator. He was generally proposed, even during his lifetime, as the model orator. After his death his fame did not diminish, if the popular saying which Altamura has preserved for us be a criterion. Throughout Italy it was the common saying: Nescit praedicare qui nescit barlettare. His sermons appeared in two volumes at Brixen in 1497, and have been reprinted very frequently since. Echardsays that no less than thirteen editions appeared in eighty years. In form his sermons are nothing else than the ordinary homily on the virtues and vices of life. He spares none of the foibles and weaknesses of his contemporaries, and in his denunciations passages of eloquent and biting sarcasm are often met with. At times he descends to an almost burlesque mimicry, as witness his sermon on the manner in which the rich ecclesiastic says the Lord's prayer. Coarse things are also to be found, but not so frequently as in the printed sermons of some of his rivals. Hehas been blamed for this coarseness by Bayle and Theophilus Raynaud, but his name has been completely vindicated by Dominic Casales, O.P., in the work "Candor lilii seu Ordo Praedicatorum a calumniis Petri a Valle Clausa [i.e. Theop. Reynaldi] vindicatus". Some maintain (Tubing, Quartalschrift, 1872, II, 270) that Barletta is not the author of the sermons which bear his name. They base their contention on a sentence of Leander Alberti [Descrizzione di tutta Italia (Bologna, 1550), 200], who says that an unskilled youth whom he knew gathered together old and unknown sermons and ascribed them to Barletta. Furthermore, they must have appeared in the vernacular, whilst we know them in the Latin alone. Thus they have suffered many changes and alterations. But up to the seventeenth century there was no question of the authorship. They show sure signs of the times and are not unworthy of his fame. Hence, scholars generally accept them as authentic." [Catholic Encyclopedia]This edition seems to be related to the Gueynard edition of 1504 with the same title (Baudrier XI,199) but with significantly different foliation.

- Opera in due parti raccolte in unico volume, dedicata a Giovanni Finetti. Presentazione di Enea De Alaris. Cm.20x15. Pg.(16), 252; 232, (16). Legatura in mz.pergamena con piatti marmorizzati. Marche tipografiche impresse ai due frontespizi. Capilettera e piccoli cartigli incisi. Tracce d'uso. Alcune notazioni di proprietà ad inchiostro. Piccole abrasioni che non ledono il testo alle ultime carte. Il testo è preceduto da una "Lettera del Sig.Bartholomeo Cavalcanti", da una "Lettera del Sig.Sallustio Piccolomini" e da due Sonetti di Lazaro Donzelli e Lucio Latini. Letterato, scrittore drammatico e novellista, Giambattista Giraldi, altrimenti noto come Cinthio, o Cinthius, o Cinzio (Fearrara, 1504-1573) insegnò a Ferrara, Mondovì, Torino e Pavia e fu protagonista di una riforma del teatro tragico imperniata sulle finalità morale del teatro di imitazione degli antichi greci. Gli "Ecatommiti", raccolta di 112 novelle ispirate al moralismo aristotelico, furono pubblicati nel 1565. "Tutte le novelle si concludono col trionfo della virtù e la punizione del vizio; tuttavia vi s'incontrano certe oscenità, che potrebbero destare meraviglia, se non si tenesse presente che la letteratura controriformistica fu tanto moraleggiante quanto lasciva" (Azelia Arici). Tra le novelle forse la più celebre è quella del Moro di Venezia, che ispirò l'Otello di Shakespeare. > Adams, I, 707. Graesse, III, 88. Brunet, II, 1609.

Freiburg: Johan Schott. [Apriles Anno Gratie], 1504. - 307 ff [of 330, lacking 23 leaves: rr-tt]. Signatures a-c in sixes (preceded by six preliminary leaves), d-pp in eights, qq in six, Quarto, rebound in full dark brown morocco, blindtooled to period, with gilt lettered morocco label on spine whith raised bands and blind tooled decorations, new endpapers. Titlepage with small repair from back and skillful infill in ink from front, n3 with skillful marginal repair, occasional light browning, a very nice copy. Illustrated with woodcuts, many full page as well as numerous ones in text, 2 folding plates. Map of the world and colophon in facsimile. Second edition. Leaf nn3 with lengthy old brown ink notation. This is the second edition, revised and enlarged by the author. The colophon (here present in facsimile) cautions the reader about an evidently unauthorized edition printed in the same year by GrŸninger. On the verso of the woodcut title are twenty-two lines of a verse headed "Suo Gregoriso Reisch gnerois Comitis de / Zolrn alumno: Adam Vuerherus Tema / rensis. Salutem. P. D." and below "Ex Heydelberga, iij. Klanu /arias. m. cccc. lxxxvi". This verse have led some bibliographers to the erroneous conclusion that the work was printed in Heidelberg in 1496. The volume was very widely read since its first publication in 1503 and is the first encyclopedia of liberal arts and science. It is divided into twelve books, edited by Gregor Reisch, a Carhusian monk and confessor of Emperor Maximilian I. The twelve books, or parts, deal with: anatomy of humans and of animals, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, metallurgy, geometry, music, philosophy, morals, and more, and are profusely illustrated with woodcuts. The illustrations are detailed and very well done; many are full page plates. The illustrations cover everything from human anatomy to comets and galaxies to relating the signs of the planters to the human body to a number of pages with music notations and words to the music to childbirth, and mining. For the next 100 years of this period of the Renaissance the book was used in universities and all institutions of learning. [Sabin 69124. See J.

| Perspectiva Communis.

- [Edited by Luca Gaurico]. Large woodcut on title depicting a master & his students, Sessa’s cat & mouse device below, & 77 woodcut diagrams in the text. 20 leaves. Small folio, modern limp vellum with ties. Venice: G.B. Sessa, 1504. A handsome early edition of this classic work on optics; it was the most influential text on the subject for three hundred years. This is the first edition to be edited by Luca Gaurico (1476-1558), the expatriate Neapolitan scholar who also edited works by Archimedes and Ptolemy and taught at Bologna, Mantua, Ferrara, and Rome. "The work on which Pecham’s fame has chiefly rested is the Perspectiva communis, probably written between 1277 and 1279 during Pecham’s professorship at the papal curia. In the first book Pecham discussed the propagation of light and color, the anatomy and physiology of the eye, the act of visual perception, physical requirements for vision, the psychology of vision, and the errors of direct vision. In book II he discussed vision by reflected rays and presented a careful and sophisticated analysis of image formation by reflection. Book III was devoted to the phenomena of refraction, the rainbow, and the Milky Way. "The central feature of Pecham’s optical system and the dominant theme of book I of the Perspectiva communis is the theory of direct vision. Here, as elsewhere, Pecham endeavored to reconcile all the available authorities — Aristotle, Euclid, Augustine, al-Kindi, Ibn al-Haytham, Ibn Rushd, Grosseteste, and Bacon. "Pecham’s optical system included significantly more than a theory of direct vision. He briefly discussed the doctrine of species; treated at length the propagation of rays; and developed a theory to explain how solar radiation, when passing through noncircular apertures, gives rise to circular images. He expressed the full law of reflection and applied it to image formation by plane, spherical, cylindrical, and conical mirrors; in this analysis he revealed an implicit understanding of the nature of the focal point of a concave mirror. "Pecham’s success was greatest in the case of the Perspectiva communis. This text.went through twelve printed editions, including a translation into Italian, between 1482 and 1665.

| DE' SECRETI DEL R.D.ALESSIO PIEMONTESE. Parti quattro, nuovamente ristampati. Con quattro Tavole copiosissime per trovare i rimedij con ogni facilità. In Venetia, appresso Angelo Bodio, 1674.
|
- Cm.15,9x10,4. Pg.554,(38). Legatura moderna in piena pergamena rigida. Cartigli e capilettera incisi. Bruniture sparse e varie tarlature dozzinalmente restaurate, che in alcune pagine ledono alcune parole, senza tuttavia inficiare la fruibilità globale del testo. Si tratta di un'Opera composta dal poligrafo e avventuriero Girolamo Ruscelli (Viterbo, 1504 circa - 1566) che oltre a compilare il celebre "Rimario" e a volgarizzare le "Geografie" di Tolomeo, compilò i presenti "Secreti" usando uno pseudonimo, ed in essi raccogliendo una quantità enorme di suggerimenti quotidiani di medicina, cucina, alchimia, spezieria, farmacologia, etc. "Questa riedizione (riferendosi alla successiva edizione del 1683, in tutto analoga alla presente) è una ristampa della prima versione, con correzioni e con l’aggiunta di quattro tavole piene di indicazioni "per trovare i rimedi con ogni facilità". Nell’introduzione, Alessio Piemontese ci racconta della sua fortuna di essere nato in una famiglia nobile che gli ha permesso di frequentare le scuole dove, con molta buona volontà, ha potuto studiare la letteratura greca, latina ed ebraica ed anche approfondire la filosofia e le scienze naturali. Per cinquantasette anni ha cercato di conoscere sempre nuove persone dotte che gli potessero riferire segreti; non soltanto grandi nomi di cultura ma anche "emminelle semplici" che raccontino le loro esperienze. I rimedi proposti dal nostro autore sono veramente semplici e facile è la reperibilità dei materiali necessari in natura o in spezieria. Analizzando il testo spicca la varietà dei segreti in tutti i campi e la facilità con la quale dopo l’"esser sicuro dai serpenti" e "elevar i dolori della gotta", c’è il suggerimento per poter "veder in sonno fiere selvatiche" e per poter "far nascere un’herba che auerà molti dolori e sapori". Un testo importante, dove tradizione popolare e fantasia vanno di pari passo e sono a disposizione di tutti in questo libretto popolare dedicato a lettori di ogni ceto e cultura (dal sito ufficiale della "Bibliotheca Antiqua Aboca"). La prima edizione è del 1555, l'ultima conosciuta è del 1749. > Melzi, I, 32, "Il Mazzucchelli, dopo d'aver detto che tutti quelli che parlano di Alessio Piemontese, non ci han renduto il cognome e la patria di costui, si dimostrò propenso a credere che Alessio Piemontese sia il vero nome del libro, benchè vi sia stato chi abbia scritto di esser nome finto, preso da Girolamo Ruscelli nel pubblicarlo. Noi diremo poi che non va lontano dal vero chi ciò asserisce.". Graesse, I, 68, "Ouvrage plein de superstitions, attibué à l'alchimiste Girolamo Ruscelli, qui l'écrivit d'après le témoignage de son contemporain Gir.Muzio ("per avventura fece egli questa metamorfosi in virtù della sua alchimia, donde ne segue il libro pubblicato sotto il nome di D.Alessio Piemontese").

| Perspectiva Communis.
|
(à la fin:) Venetiis, per J. Baptista Sessam, 1504. - in-folio. 20ff. Demi-vélin, pièce de titre rouge (Reliure postérieure). Troisième édition de cet ouvrage classique, l'un des premiers traités d'optique et de perspective qui était paru pour la première fois à Milan vers 1482. La présente édition fut donnée par l'astronome napolitain Luca Gaurico (1476-1558), à qui l'on doit d'autres éditions d'Archimède et de Ptolémée et qui enseigna à Bologne, Mantoue, Ferrare et Rome. Ce précieux volume traite de problèmes d'optique, de la lumière, de la physiologie de l'?il, de la formation des images par réfraction et il aborde sous cet angle les phénomènes de la perspective. Son influence fut considérable aussi bien dans le domaine de l'optique que dans celui de la peinture où les lois de la perspective commençaient à intéresser les artistes de la fin du Moyen Age et du début de la Renaissance. On le considère par ailleurs comme l'un des premiers livres de science "modernes", illustrés de figures techniques insérées dans le texte. "Peckham's thirteenth century treatise on optics, first published ca. 1482, was the generally accepted medieval handbook on the subject and used in the universities until Kepler's day. His most original contribution to optics is his description of concave refracting surfaces; the first time that such glasses were mentioned" (Source Book of Ohthalmology). La page de titre présente un grand bois gravé représentant un maître et ses élèves. Nombreuses figures de géométrie et d'optique dans le texte. Très bon exemplaire, malgré une légère trace de mouillure angulaire. Source Book of Ohthalmology, 1755.

Profetie di diverse persone Sante raccolte insieme, dove con difficolta' si considera e si antivede la vita delli Pontifici, et il successo del mondo, incomminciando a' la scisma di tre Papi, chi regno' lanno MCCCC sino al Papa Angelico. Manoscritto cartaceo, meta' XVII secolo, in-folio (mm 417x267) su carta con disegni a penna ed acquerello color seppia, ff. 38 n.n. (primo e ultimi 3 ff. bianchi), legatura coeva in cartone rustico. Manoscritto chiaramente vergato, databile alla meta' del XVII secolo; notevole per il grande formato e per la qualita' dei disegni, estremamente fedeli alla tradizione iconografica dellopera. Testo in latino e italiano; riporta 29 profezie su 30 poiche' lultima non e' mai stata disegnata e trascritta a causa di un errore o di una mancanza nellantigrafo; il codice deve quindi considerarsi comunque assolutamente completo. Particolarmente dettagliata e' la parte testuale relativa alla profezia generalmente ascritta a Pio V (1504-1572), autore di un duro rafforzamento dellinquisizione e di una persecuzione degli eretici. Il manoscritto riporta con il curioso titolo Papalista (lista dei papi) le profezie dellabate di origine cosentina (1130-1201), formatosi inizialmente in ambito cistercense. Le sue letture dei Vangeli e la delirante interpretazione dellApocalisse, crearono non pochi turbamenti nelle alte sfere ecclesiastiche, preoccupate per le sue apocalittiche visioni che fantasticavano sulla sorte degli ultimi Papi sino al Papa Angelico, previsto per il 1260 (numero piu' volte citato nellApocalisse). Questi era annunciato come ultimo rappresentante prima dellavvento di un periodo di concordia e di crollo delle gerarchie. Ancorche' dichiarato eretico, le sue opere esercitarono sempre una profonda attrazione anche per eminenti figure di teologi devoti, tra i quali si ricordano Guglielmo di Ockam e Ubertino da Casale. Le edizioni a stampa delle profezie datano sin dal 1517 e alcune di esse, profusamente illustrate, esercitarono un richiamo attrattivo non indifferente. Il manoscritto, ascrivibile ad un generico ambito italiano, e' databile per ragioni paleografiche e stilistiche alla meta' del XVII secolo. Ottimo esemplare.

Woodcut initials & woodcut publisher's device at end. Two columns, Gothic type. 155, [1] leaves. Folio, attractive antique vellum-backed wooden boards (lower outer blank corners of a number of leaves repaired, occasional staining). [Venice: B. Locatellus for O. Scotus, 6 Sept. 1504]. An important early edition of Aristotle's De Generatione et Corruptione; this is, I believe, the first to contain the three additional commentaries of Egidio Colonna (d. 1316), Marsilius of Inghen (d. 1396), and Albert of Saxony (ca. 1316-90). The De Generatione et Corruptione is one of Aristotle's most important writings on physics and natural science and was written during his years at Plato's Academy. Colonna (d. 1316), also known as Giles of Rome, was a disciple of Thomas Aquinas while a student in Paris. Colonna was the first Augustinian appointed to teach in the University of Paris and his deep learning earned for him the title of Doctor fundatissimus. In 1295 he was appointed Archbishop of Bourges by Pope Boniface VIII. "Although mainly a philosopher and theologian, Giles frequently dealt with problems relating to natural philosophy, notable in his commentaries on Aristotle. Moreover, he did so in a style distinctive enough to place him in the first rank of those thinkers who have made a positive contribution to the scientific thought of their time (see Maier, Die Vorläufer Galileis, p. 2)... "[His commentary on] the De generatione et corruptione...became [a] classic, and was often utilized by such fourteenth-century physicists as Buridan and Marsilius of Inghen, who considered Giles the communis expositor of the De generatione."D.S.B., V, pp. 402-03. Marsilius was a high official at the Universities of Paris and Heidelberg and his "chief contributions to science lay in the field of physics...His work places him among the Parisian masters who may be considered to be the precursors of Leonardo and Galileo and the formers of the new physics of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries."D.S.B., IX, p. 136. Albert of Saxony was a prominent teacher on the faculty of arts at Paris. "Albert's significance in the history of science is primarily that of a transmitter and an intelligent compiler of scientific ideas directly drawn from the works of Buridan, Thomas Bradwardine, William of Ockham, Burley, Oresme, and other writers in the medieval scientific tradition."D.S.B., I, p. 94. Very good copy. No copy in N.U.C., OCLC, and RLIN. Adams A-1792(false collation).

MARCANTONIO RAIMONDI SANT'ANDREA IN
|
| SAN GIORGIO E IL DRAGO 1504
|
"Bulino, circa 1504/5, firmato in lastra in basso al centro. Bellissima prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva con filigrana non meglio identificata, rifilata alla linea marginale, piccoli interventi di restauro nella parte superiore centrale e vicino la firma perfettamente eseguiti, nel complesso in ottimo stato di conservazione. Recenti studi confermano che il Raimondi stesso e' autre della composizione, seppure ispirata allomonimo dipinto del Francia e con richiami al Mantegna. Hind sottolinea che il paesaggio e' di chiara ispirazione dureriana, attinto da opere come il Mostro marino e Ercole al bivio. Elementi stilistici tipici del niello inducono a datare lopera ai primissimi del500, mentre piu' recenti studi tendono a collocarla al 1505. La firma Mar. Ant. Rappresenta una novita' assoluta nellambito della produzione grafica del Raimondi, di cui questo rimane lunico esempio. Di grandissima rarita'. Bibliografia: Bartsch 98; Passavant 42; Delaborde 89; Bologna e lUmanesimo 12." Engraving, 1504/5 approx., signed on plate on lower centre. Excellent work, printed on contemporary laid paper with unidentified watermark, trimmed to the border line, small repairs perfectly executed on upper centre and near the signature, in general in very good condition. Recent studies have confirmed that Raimondi is the author of this work, although it was inspired by the homonymous painting by Francia with some references to Mantegna. Hind underlines that the landscape is clearly inspired by Duerers work, which Raimondi might have known through Sea Monster and Hercules at the Crossroads. Some stylistic elements of the niello help us to date the print at the beginning of XVI century. The signature Mar. Ant. is a real, unique innovation in Raimondis graphic production. Extremely rare. 300 220

. FIRST EDITION! "Charles Estienne (1504-1564) was a member of ' the famous family of printers bearing the same name. He recieved ' his medical degree from the University of Paris in 1542, but had ' apparently been at work on this anatomical magnum opus for many ' years, as some of the plates are dated 1530 and 1531. This ' magnificent folio volume is one of the finest of all anatomical ' treaties. Certainly it was the finest printed in France in its ' century, and the sixty-two full-page woodcuts, artistically ' presenting the anatomical subjects in special poses before unusal ' background seetings, are unusually sumptuous and ' imaginative". "Had 'DE DISSECTIONE... been published in 1539, ' there is no question that it would have stolen much of the ' thunder from Vesaliu's Fabricia: it would have been the first ' work to show detailed illustrations of dissection in serial ' progression, the first to discuss and illustrate the total human ' body, the first to publish instruction to mount a skeleton, and ' the first to the anatomical figures in a fully developed ' panoramic landscape...." Despite its tardy appearance, however, ' DE DISSECTIONE..... was able to make numerous original contributions ' to anatomy, including the first illustrations of the whole ' external venous and nervous system, and the descriptions of the ' morphology and purpose of the "feeding holes" of bones, the ' tripartate composition of the sternum, the valvulae in the ' hepatic veins and the srotal septum. In addition, the work's ' eight dissection of the brain give more anatomical detail that ' had previously appeared."

PECKHAM, John.

| Perspective communis.
|
[Edited by Andreas Alexander]. Numerous geometrical woodcuts in the outer margins of the text & woodcut printer's device on recto of final leaf. 38 unnumbered leaves. Small folio, modern pigskin over boards (a few minor stains). [Leipzig: Martin Herbipolensis, 1504]. A rare and handsome early edition of this classic work on optics; it was the most influential text on the subject for three hundred years. This is the first edition to be edited by Andreas Alexander (ca. 1475-ca. 1504), who prepared this edition to instruct students at the University of Leipzig where he had recently been appointed to the faculty of arts (see Lindberg, Theories of Vision from al-Kindi to Kepler, p. 121). Leipzig had, in the 15th and early 16th century, a vigorous tradition of presenting regular lectures on the Perspective communis. "The work on which Pecham's fame has chiefly rested is the Perspectiva communis, probably written between 1277 and 1279 during Pecham's professorship at the papal curia. In the first book Pecham discussed the propagation of light and color, the anatomy and physiology of the eye, the act of visual perception, physical requirements for vision, the psychology of vision, and the errors of direct vision. In book II he discussed vision by reflected rays and presented a careful and sophisticated analysis of image formation by reflection. Book III was devoted to the phenomena of refraction, the rainbow, and the Milky Way... "The central feature of Pecham's optical system and the dominant theme of book I of the Perspectiva communis is the theory of direct vision. Here, as elsewhere, Pecham endeavored to reconcile all the available authorities -- Aristotle, Euclid, Augustine, al-Kindi, Ibn al-Haytham, Ibn Rushd, Grosseteste, and Bacon... "Pecham's optical system included significantly more than a theory of direct vision. He briefly discussed the doctrine of species; treated at length the propagation of rays; and developed a theory to explain how solar radiation, when passing through noncircular apertures, gives rise to circular images. He expressed the full law of reflection and applied it to image formation by plane, spherical, cylindrical, and conical mirrors; in this analysis he revealed an implicit understanding of the nature of the focal point of a concave mirror... "Pecham's success was greatest in the case of the Perspectiva communis. This text...went through twelve printed editions, including a translation into Italian, between 1482 and 1665. It was used and cited by many medieval and Renaissance natural philosophers, including Dominicus de Clavasio, Henry of Langenstein, Blasius of Parma, Lorenzo Ghiberti, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Brudzewski, Francesco Maurolico, Giambattista della Porta, Girolamo Fabrici, Johannes Kepler, Willebrord Snellius, and G.B. Riccioli...The Perspectiva communis was the most widely used of all optical texts from the early fourteenth until the close of the sixteenth century, and it remains today the best index of what was known to the scientific community in general on the subject."D.S.B., X, pp. 475-76. Peckham (ca. 1230-1292), took his degrees at Paris and Oxford and in 1279 was elected archbishop of Canterbury. The first edition of the text was published ca. 1482-83. Very good copy preserved in a red morocco-backed box. This edition is very rare. Smith, History of Mathematics, II, p. 341"The work that had the greatest influence upon the subject of perspective in the Middle Ages was the Perspective communis."

Cm.15,9x10,4. Pg.554,(38). Legatura moderna in piena pergamena rigida. Cartigli e capilettera incisi. Bruniture sparse e varie tarlature dozzinalmente restaurate, che in alcune pagine ledono alcune parole, senza tuttavia inficiare la fruibilità globale del testo. Si tratta di un'Opera composta dal poligrafo e avventuriero Girolamo Ruscelli (Viterbo, 1504 circa - 1566) che oltre a compilare il celebre "Rimario" e a volgarizzare le "Geografie" di Tolomeo, compilò i presenti "Secreti" usando uno pseudonimo, ed in essi raccogliendo una quantità enorme di suggerimenti quotidiani di medicina, cucina, alchimia, spezieria, farmacologia, etc. "Questa riedizione (riferendosi alla successiva edizione del 1683, in tutto analoga alla presente) è una ristampa della prima versione, con correzioni e con l’aggiunta di quattro tavole piene di indicazioni "per trovare i rimedi con ogni facilità". Nell’introduzione, Alessio Piemontese ci racconta della sua fortuna di essere nato in una famiglia nobile che gli ha permesso di frequentare le scuole dove, con molta buona volontà, ha potuto studiare la letteratura greca, latina ed ebraica ed anche approfondire la filosofia e le scienze naturali. Per cinquantasette anni ha cercato di conoscere sempre nuove persone dotte che gli potessero riferire segreti; non soltanto grandi nomi di cultura ma anche "emminelle semplici" che raccontino le loro esperienze. I rimedi proposti dal nostro autore sono veramente semplici e facile è la reperibilità dei materiali necessari in natura o in spezieria. Analizzando il testo spicca la varietà dei segreti in tutti i campi e la facilità con la quale dopo l’"esser sicuro dai serpenti" e "elevar i dolori della gotta", c’è il suggerimento per poter "veder in sonno fiere selvatiche" e per poter "far nascere un’herba che auerà molti dolori e sapori". Un testo importante, dove tradizione popolare e fantasia vanno di pari passo e sono a disposizione di tutti in questo libretto popolare dedicato a lettori di ogni ceto e cultura (dal sito ufficiale della "Bibliotheca Antiqua Aboca"). La prima edizione è del 1555, l'ultima conosciuta è del 1749. > Melzi, I, 32, "Il Mazzucchelli, dopo d'aver detto che tutti quelli che parlano di Alessio Piemontese, non ci han renduto il cognome e la patria di costui, si dimostrò propenso a credere che Alessio Piemontese sia il vero nome del libro, benchè vi sia stato chi abbia scritto di esser nome finto, preso da Girolamo Ruscelli nel pubblicarlo. Noi diremo poi che non va lontano dal vero chi ciò asserisce ....". Graesse, I, 68, "Ouvrage plein de superstitions, attibué à l'alchimiste Girolamo Ruscelli, qui l'écrivit d'après le témoignage de son contemporain Gir.Muzio ("per avventura fece egli questa metamorfosi in virtù della sua alchimia, donde ne segue il libro pubblicato sotto il nome di D.Alessio Piemontese"). DSB, Vol. XV, "a wide range of empirically discovered recipes, including medicinal compounds, cosmetic preparations, and formulas for the chemical technology of pigments and dyes, metallurgy, and jewellery". Brunet, I, 159.

T.p. in red and black,decorated initials. Gabriel Barletta (Sometimes called Barlete, De Barolo, Barolus) " Preacher, b., according to some, in the Neapolitan territory at Barletta, whence he took his name, or, according to others, at Aquino; d. sometime after 1480. Little is known of his life other than that he was a Dominican and probably a pupil of St. Antoninus. All his contemporaries held him in high esteem as an orator. He was generally proposed, even during his lifetime, as the model orator. After his death his fame did not diminish, if the popular saying which Altamura has preserved for us be a criterion. Throughout Italy it was the common saying: Nescit praedicare qui nescit barlettare. His sermons appeared in two volumes at Brixen in 1497, and have been reprinted very frequently since. Echardsays that no less than thirteen editions appeared in eighty years. In form his sermons are nothing else than the ordinary homily on the virtues and vices of life. He spares none of the foibles and weaknesses of his contemporaries, and in his denunciations passages of eloquent and biting sarcasm are often met with. At times he descends to an almost burlesque mimicry, as witness his sermon on the manner in which the rich ecclesiastic says the Lord's prayer. Coarse things are also to be found, but not so frequently as in the printed sermons of some of his rivals. Hehas been blamed for this coarseness by Bayle and Theophilus Raynaud, but his name has been completely vindicated by Dominic Casales, O.P., in the work "Candor lilii seu Ordo Praedicatorum a calumniis Petri a Valle Clausa [i.e. Theop. Reynaldi] vindicatus". Some maintain (Tubing, Quartalschrift, 1872, II, 270) that Barletta is not the author of the sermons which bear his name. They base their contention on a sentence of Leander Alberti [Descrizzione di tutta Italia (Bologna, 1550), 200], who says that an unskilled youth whom he knew gathered together old and unknown sermons and ascribed them to Barletta. Furthermore, they must have appeared in the vernacular, whilst we know them in the Latin alone. Thus they have suffered many changes and alterations. But up to the seventeenth century there was no question of the authorship. They show sure signs of the times and are not unworthy of his fame. Hence, scholars generally accept them as authentic." [Catholic Encyclopedia]This edition seems to be related to the Gueynard edition of 1504 with the same title (Baudrier XI,199) but with significantly different foliation.

CALIGULA DI BASALER, 1504. Signed. Dedica a Lucrezia Bentivoglia Estense. [CONTRAFFAZIONE POST-INCUNABOLO] (cm. 22) ottimo pieno vitello bruno recente con riportati i due piatti di precedente legatura del settecento, con ricchi fregi e stemma centrale con armi cardinalizie. Cc. 166 nn. Testo in carattere romano, 25 linee titolo in gotico. Dedica a Lucrezia Bentivoglia Estense. Prima edizione veramente rara e variamente citata da biblioografi. Il tipografo fu attivo dal 1491 al 1514, vedi il lungo commento in SERRA-ZANETTI circa le varie controversie. L' autore, bolognese, è poco noto e scrive in uno strano miscuglio di versi e prosa, alla maniera dell' ARCADIA del Sannazaro. Esemplare veramente particolare. Contiene 6 carte: C1, T1, X1, e relative corrispondenti C8, T8, X10, mirabilmente contraffatte a mano su carta dell' epoca in maniera così perfetta tanto che è difficile capire se siano stampate o manoscritte. Da annotazione sulla vecchia scheda di provenienza queste sei carte sarebbero state scritte a mano da Solari Raffaello Fiorentino. Qualche macchiolina marginale, ma esemplare a pieni margini e molto bello. PARENTI 290; QUADRIO II 222; FANTUZZI IV 331; SERRA-ZANETTI "STAMPA IN BOLOGNA" n° 225; PANZER VI 323; ISAAC 13713; GRAESSE III 179; BRUNET II 1808; BM. STC. 321.

Woodcut initials & woodcut publisher's device at end. Two columns, Gothic type. 155, [1] leaves. Folio, attractive antique vellum-backed wooden boards (lower outer blank corners of a number of leaves repaired, occasional staining). [Venice: B. Locatellus for O. Scotus, 6 Sept. 1504]. An important early edition of Aristotle's De Generatione et Corruptione; this is, I believe, the first to contain the three additional commentaries of Egidio Colonna (d. 1316), Marsilius of Inghen (d. 1396), and Albert of Saxony (ca. 1316-90). The De Generatione et Corruptione is one of Aristotle's most important writings on physics and natural science and was written during his years at Plato's Academy. Colonna (d. 1316), also known as Giles of Rome, was a disciple of Thomas Aquinas while a student in Paris. Colonna was the first Augustinian appointed to teach in the University of Paris and his deep learning earned for him the title of Doctor fundatissimus. In 1295 he was appointed Archbishop of Bourges by Pope Boniface VIII. "Although mainly a philosopher and theologian, Giles frequently dealt with problems relating to natural philosophy, notable in his commentaries on Aristotle. Moreover, he did so in a style distinctive enough to place him in the first rank of those thinkers who have made a positive contribution to the scientific thought of their time (see Maier, Die Vorläufer Galileis, p. 2)... "[His commentary on] the De generatione et corruptione...became [a] classic, and was often utilized by such fourteenth-century physicists as Buridan and Marsilius of Inghen, who considered Giles the communis expositor of the De generatione."D.S.B., V, pp. 402-03. Marsilius was a high official at the Universities of Paris and Heidelberg and his "chief contributions to science lay in the field of physics...His work places him among the Parisian masters who may be considered to be the precursors of Leonardo and Galileo and the formers of the new physics of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries."D.S.B., IX, p. 136. Albert of Saxony was a prominent teacher on the faculty of arts at Paris. "Albert's significance in the history of science is primarily that of a transmitter and an intelligent compiler of scientific ideas directly drawn from the works of Buridan, Thomas Bradwardine, William of Ockham, Burley, Oresme, and other writers in the medieval scientific tradition."D.S.B., I, p. 94. Very good copy. No copy in N.U.C., OCLC, and RLIN. Adams A-1792(false collation).
