|
- (2), viii, 388 pp. BMC NH, p. 1505; Nissen, ZBI 3074; Wood, p. 511; DSB X, pp. 283-285. First edition of Pallas's monograph on rodents. Peter Simon Pallas (1741-1811) occupied himself with botany, zoology, geology, and geography, searching constantly for "causal interrelationships and hidden regularities of natural phenomena. He was one of the first to use anatomical characteristics in classifying animals. His research in comparative anatomy provided the foundations for animal taxonomy" (DSB ). His descriptions of rodents in the present volume are accompanied by attractive and accurate plates of animals and animal parts. Nissen (ZBI I, p. 154) qualifies Pallas's illustrations in general as "zoologisch bedeutsam." The figures on the plates are explained on pages 385-388.A highly desirable, clean and wide-margined copy.

LEO I. [d. 461 ]
|
| Leonis pontificis maximi sermones quam diligentissime nuperrime castigati, et quantum anniti ars potuit fideliter impressi.
|
Venice 1505 - Venetiis, Bartholomaeus de Zanis impressit, Ioannes Andreas episcopus Aleriensis edidit. 1505. Folio, 84 leaves, complete. ONE OF ONLY THREE KNOWN COPIES, with OCLC, KVK, BNF, Lib. Cong. together showing institutional holdings only at Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen and Staatsbibliothek Berlin. Leo's pontificate, next to that of St. Gregory I, is the most significant and important in Christian antiquity. At a time when the Church was experiencing the greatest obstacles to her progress in consequence of the hastening disintegration of the Western Empire, while the Orient was profoundly agitated over dogmatic controversies, this great pope, with far-seeing sagacity and powerful hand, guided the destiny of the Roman and Universal Church. Leo was no less active in the spiritual elevation of the Roman congregations, and his sermons, of which ninety-six genuine examples have been preserved, are remarkable for their profundity, clearness of diction, and elevated style. The first five of these, which were delivered on the anniversaries of his consecration, manifest his lofty conception of the dignity of his office, as well as his thorough conviction of the primacy of the Bishop of Rome, shown forth in so outspoken and decisive a manner by his whole activity as supreme pastor. CE.

This is the third edition, printed by the heirs of the famous Cologne printer Heinrich Quentell who had died in 1501.

On the last page is an extensive contemporary note in manuscript on the requirements for giving a good sermon. The second collection of sermons, the Sermones quattuor novissimorum, is often attributed to Bonaventura (1221-1274). These sermons are centred around the four final stages of human experience: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. This is an early Cologne edition printed by Cornelis van Zirikzee who lived in the Stocklgasse near the Convent of the Praedicatores. Good copy, with old ms. annotations on fly leaves and in margins second work.- (First title cut without loss of text; wormholes in last lvs., the repeated Salvator Mundi woodcut on the last page damaged).

JUVENAL(IS), Decimus Junius.

| The beautiful first Badius edition of Juvenal Familiare commentum. Cum Anthonii Mancinelli explanatione. Argumenta Satyrarum Juvenalis per Antonium Mancinellum.
|
Paris, Jodocus Badius Ascensius, for Joannis Meganc, Joannis Waterloose & Jodocus Horenweghe (in Flanders), 7 March 1505 (1506). - 4to. Nineteenth-century marbled boards. (6), CCLIII lvs. (without the last blank); collatiion: #6, a-z, A-H8, I6. Fine Badius edition published in Paris of Juvenal's Satyrae. Jodocus Badius Ascensius (1461-1535) published his comments on Juvenal already in two earlier editions printed in Lyon in 1498 and 1501, but the present is the first edition published by his own house at Paris, which he started in 1503. The main text is printed in a large gothic type, with the extensive commentary by the influential Italian humanist Antonio Mancinelli from Velletri (1452-1502) in smaller gothic. The colophon is dated 7 March 1505, but the dedication letter by Badius Ascensius to Henricus Valuphinus on the verso of the title is dated 7 March 1506 ('Nonis Martiis Anno. Millesimo quingentesimo sexto'); as the year in the colophon is given in numerals, this may be an error and then the date of publication should be 1506. The dedication is followed by a letter by Mancinelli, dated 9 June 1492 (f. (1)v-(2)r), a general note on Juvenal by Mancinelli and a 'vita' of Juvenal by Badius Ascensius on f. (2)r and another note on the Satires of Juvenal by Mancinelli on f. (2)v. The Tabula is on f. (3)r-(6)v. Good copy with contemporary annotations (sm. numbers above the words of the first Satire).- (Sm. hole in one leaf).

| Perspectiva Communis.

Paris ? ca 1505 - In-folio de 18 ff.ch.; maroquin bleu glacé janséniste, filets intérieurs dorés (Zaehnsdorf) Cf. Brunet, III, 534, Durling, 3579, Becker, 291.2; Mortimer, 367; Essling, n°1427 pour d'autres éditions; Smith, History of Mathematics, II, p. 341. La Perspectiva Communis est un des premiers traités modernes de perspective et d'optique. Bonne édition donnée par Luca Gaurico. Elle reproduit l'édition de Sessa, Venise, 1504, est illustrée du même beau bois sur le titre, mais ici une fleur de lys remplace l'écusson au chat sous la gravure; figures géométriques dans le texte et dans les marges. "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 propagation of light and colour, the anatomy and physiology of the eye, the act of visual perception, physical requirements for vision. In book II he discussed vision by reflected rays. Book III was devoted to the phenomena of refraction, the rainbow and the milky way (.) The perspectiva Communis was one of the most widely used of all optical texts from the early fourteenth century until the close of the sixteenth century [influencing Leonardo da Vinci and Johannes Kepler among others], and it remains today the best index of what was known to the scientific community in general on the subject."

|
| Bellum Troianum ex Homero. Maphaei Veggii Astyanax. Epigrammata quaedam.
|
Fano, Girolamo Soncino maggio 1505 - 8vo (cm 14), mezza pergamena settecentesca con angoli, titolo ms. al dorso, piatti ricoperti da carta decorata. Carta del titolo restaurata con abile ricostruzione del margine bianco, margine superiore sobrio, peraltro discreto. Cc. 36 nn., stampate in corsivo italico (coi caratteri incisi per Soncino da Francesco Griffo, l’artefice del corsivo aldino), con letterine di attesa per lettere capitali. Prima edizione estremamente rara dell’Ilias latina all’interno di questa raccolta curata da Lorenzo Abstemio (bibliotecario del duca Guido Ubaldo di Urbino), contenente anche l’Astyanax di Maffeo Vegio e alcuni epigrammi latini classici e quattrocenteschi. L’opera, dedicata a Ramberto Novello Malatesta detto Ramberto il Filosofo (1475-1532), raccoglie esempi di poesia epica e di esaltazione della vita guerriera, come poteva essere quella del dedicatario. Il Bellum Troianum, meglio noto con il nome di Ilias Latina, è un’epitome dell'Iliade in 1070 esametri latini risalente al I secolo d.C. Il poema dalla tradizione fu attribuito genericamente a Omero e, dalla fine del secolo XI, a Pindarus Thebanus, corruttela del vero nome del poeta. Attribuita da alcuni a Silio Italico, oggi si ritiene opera di Bebio Italico. L’opera di Maffeo Vegio (1407-1458), tra i massimi poeti latini del Quattrocento, celebrato come alter Virgilio, racconta la sola tragica vicenda di Astianatte, il figlio di Ettore e Andromaca fatto uccidere da Ulisse. Al verso del frontespizio sono riportate le iscrizioni romane che si trovano sull’arco di Fano, e nel ponte di Rimini. Manzoni, Ann. Soncino, n. 17, p. 85; BMC STC It. p. 331, non in Adams.

Augsburg, Johannes Froschauer, 1505. - 2 parts in one. Small 4to. Later marbled boards. Two titles each with an identical large woodcut. (24) lvs. (collation: a6, b4 ; c6, d-e4). Early post-incunable with two satirical texts, mainly songs and verses, criticising the lascivious clergy and usually published together. The VD16 lists 11 editions between ca. 1501 and 1509, our edition being the first dated edition! Other early editions were printed by Jac. Wolff at Basle and Ambr. Huber in Nurnberg in ca. 1501/2. The first part 'On the fidelity of concubines of priests' is attributed to Paulus Olearius (his name has been sometimes assumed as being the pseudonym of Jac. Wimpfeling (1450-1528)) from Heidelberg. The second text 'On the fidelity of prostitutes in their love affairs' is written by Jakob Hartlieb from Landau. Each part is preceded by a separate title with an identical woodcut depicting on the left a monk, a scholar and a canon; on the right two soldiers, one with scimitar, another drawing a sword and a peasant with flail; in centre a woman about to open a door leading 'ad infern(um)' these words being written on a scroll with some notes of music. On the back of the first title are verses by Joh. Gallinarius and Philippus Beroaldus, on the back of the second by Gallinarius and Joh. Speyser from Pforzheim. Ludwig Hohenwang Elchingensis is mentioned in the colophon: some scholars state he was the editor, others the printer or somebody who contributed some poems. The work is a very interesting example of pre-reformation critic on abuses in the Roman Catholic Church, written in the form of the so-called 'Quodlibet' disputations - in this case by the (fictitious?) "egregio magistro" Johann Hilt from Rottweil, in a mixture of Latin and German, with verses of Virgil, and Beroaldus. Some of the poems have lines, or even words, alternating in Latin and German, what makes these disputations also linguistically very important. On leaf B3 verso a list of books is recommended by the bishop to the priest, as Pretarca' De vita solitaria, Decretals, Homilies, Virgil, Cato & Varro, Gerson, De Celibatu, etc. "Hartliebs Rede gehört zu jenen ergötzlichen akademischen Scherzreden oder Quaestiones fabulosae seu facetosae, die, bis in die neuere Zeit herab nur als pseudonyme Pamphlete betrachtet, zu ihrer Zeit öffentlich vorgetragen wurden und das (damalige) Universitäts- und Kulturleben wie wenige andere Äußerungen auf eine drastische und anziehende Weise zu charakterisieren geeignet sind. Und gerade Hartliebs Schrift gehört ihres kulturhistorischen Inhalts wegen zu den interessantesten ihrer Art" (ADB 10, 669 f).

Valerius Maximus. Oliverii

| Opera cum Com(m)ento...
|
Milan: Alexander Minutianus, 1505. Folio. a-z,&8, (rev.c)8, (RX)10.A8. 209ff=418, [18]pp. 18th c. calf-backed paper boards, spine defective by 1" at top, hinges rubbed, old title-label, edges red; t.p. with scattered soiling, dampstains and old mold stains in inner margin at front, contemp. owner's inscription on blank verso of last leaf colored over; fully annotated by a contemp. hand using a French batard script (our 18th century binder has cut into many of the marginal notes). Valerius Maximus, a Roman historian and contemporary of the emperor Tiberius (42 B.C.-A.D.37), "was the compiler of an extant collection of anecdotes, "facta et Dicta Memorabilia', in nine books, for the use of orators. The anecdotes are arranged, according to the subjects that illustrate, roughly as follows: Book I, religion, omens, prodigies; Book II, social customs; Books III - VI, virtuous conduct (fortitude, moderation, humanity, etc.); Books VII and VIII, a miscellaneous group including good fortune, military stratagems, famous law-suits, eloquence, and many other items; Book IX, evil conduct. The examples on each topic are grouped separately according as they are drawn from the lives of Roman or foreign worthies... the work proved useful, and its popularity, which it retained in the Middle Ages, is shown by the fact that two epitomes of it were made." OCCL. The text is surrounded with commentary by Arziganenis which first appeared in 1487. This edition is rare.

[signatures : Pi10, a-p8, q10, A-I8, K10, dernier blanc] Veau brun, dos à nerfs orné, grande plaque estampée à froid sur les plats avec encadrements. (Reliure de l'époque.) Belle reliure à plaques d'André Boule. Le martyr de Saint-Sébastien, sur le premier plat, accompagné de deux soldats qui le transpercent de flêches, et surmonté de deux anges tenant une couronne, le tout entouré d'une bordure (vigne, animaux chimériques.), avec en pied, le nom du relieur en capitales dans un cartouche. Au second plat, une crucifixion dans laquelle Sainte-Catherine de Sienne et Saint-Thomas sont couronnés, entouré d'une bordure similaire et le nom du relieur en pied.

(Le dos de la reliure de l'exemplaire de Goldschmidt était refait). Si les reliures d'André Boule ne sont pas très rares dans les bibliothèques publiques , il y en a plusieurs à la Bibliothèque Nationale, on en rencontre très rarement sur le marché.

LUCAS VAN LEYDEN LEIDA 1494 -
|
| SAN CRISTOFORO SULLA RIVA DEL FIUME.
|
Bulino, circa 1505-6, monogrammato in lastra in basso a destra. Bellissima prova nell'unico stato e nella seconda variante di tre. Esemplare nitido e contrastato, impresso su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, rifilato irregolarmente alla linea marginale, generalmente in ottimo stato di conservazione. Opera giovanile di Luca di Leida, che molto probabilmente esegui' questo lavoro alla giovanissima eta' di dodici anni. Nello stile ancora primitivo, si riconosce la grande abilita' incisoria. "Engraving, circa 1505-6, signed on plate on lower right edge. A fine, clear impression of the only state known, on contemporary laid paper, irregularly trimmed on the borderline, generally in very good conditions. This work was probably made by Lucas van Leyden when he was only twelve years old. The style is still primitive, but the author's great ability can already been recognised."

La Perspectiva Communis est un des premiers traités modernes de perspective et d'optique. Bonne édition donnée par Luca Gaurico. Elle reproduit l'édition de Sessa, Venise, 1504, est illustrée du même beau bois sur le titre, mais ici une fleur de lys remplace l'écusson au chat sous la gravure; figures géométriques dans le texte et dans les marges. ""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 propagation of light and colour, the anatomy and physiology of the eye, the act of visual perception, physical requirements for vision. In book II he discussed vision by reflected rays... Book III was devoted to the phenomena of refraction, the rainbow and the milky way (...) The perspectiva Communis was one of the most widely used of all optical texts from the early fourteenth century until the close of the sixteenth century [influencing Leonardo da Vinci and Johannes Kepler among others], and it remains today the best index of what was known to the scientific community in general on the subject.""

Venezia, Bernardino Benali, [1505 ca.]. "In-4° (mm 192x140). 28 carte non numerate. Numerose iniziali silografiche istoriate e decorate, di cui alcune con nodi su fondo nero. Alla c. a2r grande iniziale ‘I’ istoriata; 12 silografie a piena pagina raffiguranti le Sibille inquadrate da cornici formate da quattro legni. Legatura ottocentesca in mezzo marocchino marrone. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, lievi bruniture, margine superiore sobrio. Fittamente annotato da una mano tardo-cinquecentecsa alle prime tre carte, numerose sottolineature e sporadiche note marginali in rosso di mano più antica. Ex-libris di C.W. Frederickson e di Otto Schaefer, timbro in inchiostro nero al recto del foglio di guardia posteriore ‘H.E.H. DUPL.’. Rara edizione cinquecentesca, un tempo creduta incunabola, della collezione di opuscoli curata dal teologo e inquisitore siciliano Filippo Barbieri, la cui princeps fu impressa dal Lignamine a Roma nel 1481 (vedi scheda n. 32 del presente catalogo) e ristampata dal Riessinger l'anno seguente. La raccolta contiene le concordanze di San Girolamo e Sant’Agostino, una difesa delle teorie della scuola tomista, le profezie delle Sibille sull'avvento di Cristo ed infine i Cento Vergiliana, stampati separatamente fin dagli anni ’70 del Quattrocento, che sono un arrangiamento dei versi virgiliani fatti nel secolo iv da Proba Falconia, moglie di un proconsole romano. La suite delle 12 Sibille, che ricalca solo concettualmente quella dell’incunabolo romano, appare invece molto simile a quella delle stampe di Kobel, impresse a Oppenheim rispettivamente nel 1516 e nel 1517 ca. (Benzing, Kobel, 55). Goff B, 121; Proctor 12374; Essling 2316; Sander 775; Arnim 357. Very rare Venetian edition of this Opuscula collection edited by the Sicilian theologist Filippo Barberi, illustrated by 12 full-page woodcuts showing the Sybils within architectural frames.

ALIXANDRO OF GNANO
|
| 1505 - 500+ YEAR OLD HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL, LEDGER AND DIARY OF A WEALTHY BUSINESS MAN OF GENOA
|
GENOA, ITALY, 1505. One hundred and eighty four hand numbered pages in this remarkable, 501 year old, handwritten manuscript ledger, journal and diary : " 1505 Gendenze di Saviz - gnano" as stated on the cover. The first page begins: "Libro de tuto _____ quale so tato asan__giano ala venuta mia. [T]o Alexandro salueto schrise e soto schrise de mia gnovia mar...." Not written by a scribe, this is a working journal and ledger containing hundreds of business entries, purchases, loans and repayments. There are long lists of foods and prices for what is assuredly shopping lists for parties and feasts. There are also what appears to be observations and business maxims and poetry in a number of entries. Certainly this fascinating book requires more research. The original vellum cover is in somewhat rough shape with tears, rubbing and bumping and is barely attached to the text block though still held by the rear binding cords. Interior is in excellent shape save for the odd and to be expected ink blot, age-toning and light soiling. Please email for pictures of this rare manuscript.. Original Vellum. Good+/None. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Italian, Spanish, Latin.

Esta edición contiene los textos corregidos y revisados por Paulus Panormita, agustino, nacido en Sicilia. Cayetano de Thiene fue discípulo de Pablo de Venecia, y enseñó en la universidad de Padua desde 1424. Fue uno de los más radicales averroistas de la "Escuela de Padua". Asimismo Cayetano recibió las influencias de los físicos de la Escuela de París, y también de los mertonianos, en particular de Heytesbury. Estudió la naturaleza del calor y de la transmisión del calor a los cuerpos. Johannes de Ganduno (o John de Gand o de Ghent), estudió en el colegio de Navarra y en la Sorbona. Se inclinó también por la doctrina averroista. Ferrater Mora, pág. 80. Aristóteles

Edition imprimée en caractères gothiques. Belle mise en page, caractéristique de l'époque. §Broché. Traces de colle le long du dos. Sans couverture. Un feuillet blanc, en fin d'ouvrage, après le texte, est manquant, il complète la collation à 44 f. §Gaudensis fut Théologien et professeur (1470 Gauda-1520 Cologne). L'oeuvre littéraire de J. Gaudensis se dessine à travers l'utilisation experte des textes bibliques, qui forme à la fois la base et la frontière de sa création. L'ouvrage traite de la Passion du Christ de Albert dit le Grand, évêque de Ratisbone , la seconde partie concerne la Vierge.

| [Epigrammata] Cum duobus comentis.

Milan, Johannem Scinzenzeler 1505. 1505. Folio, ff. 158 (i) lacking final blank. Roman letter in two sizes, white on black woodcut initials. Pretty De Lignano woodcut on t-p (they commissioned the work), ms. 'Emptus a F.Carolo 1592' above, couple of slightly later conventual ex libris. Early marginalia to first couple of gatherings, a splendid copy, completely clean, almost uncut and unpressed in strictly contemp. Milanese calf, covers with central panel enclosing a border of repeated but separate knot-work tools, middle panel with rosettes, inner wih three large knotwork lozenges, outer undecorated except for blind rules. Small defects at lower edges of boards and head and tail of spine, else a splendid copy in an important unrestored original binding preserved in box. Autograph of Joseph von Lassburg, the C18/19. antiquary and scholar on fly. A very rare edition of the Epigrammata with the commentaries of Calderini and Merula. Martial, certainly a Spaniard and probably a Basque spent his working life in Rome surveying the local scene and producing for us exquisite vignettes of what he saw. His short poems, often expressing a single message or depicting a single picture are among the most vivid glimpses which have come down to us of real life in the first century AD. Perhaps because of allegations of obscenity - but Martial did not invent, he described what he saw - the Epigrammata were relatively neglected in the first century of printing. This edition is of conspicuous rarity; Balsamo, the bibliographer of Schinzenzeler's press, records no copy outside Italian institutional libraries. The classic, simple, yet elegant and well preserved binding is not identified by De Marinis, or Goldschmidt and the style is unusual for folios, more usually found on smaller books. Altogether a very splendid volume. Not in BM. STC It, NUC or Adams. Balsamo 48 "Bella edizione". SN2527.

Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, lievi fioriture, dorso restaurato. Prima ed unica edizione aldina dell'opera del poeta ed alchimista del Rinascimento Aurelio Augurello, che fin dal tempo del suo soggiorno fiorentino, alla metà degli anni ’70 del Quattrocento, aveva goduto della protezione di Bernardo Bembo e al quale anche Pietro accordò i suoi favori. La princeps dei Poemata era stata impressa nel 1491 e viene qui riproposta ed ampliata in due libri che contengono tutti i componimenti, tranne la Chrysopoeia e il Geronticon, che verranno impressi solo dieci anni più tardi. «Alla fine del 1504, subito dopo la pubblicazione del testo di Demostene, che il Carteromaco partendo aveva lasciato pronto per la stampa, Aldo si rese conto che la sua impresa era giunta a un punto morto. Nel 1505 fece un ultimo tentativo, analogo in parte a quello che gli era riuscito nel 1501. Non potendo offrire alcuna novità tecnica, si appigliò alla scelta dei testi: per la prima volta e ultima, pubblicando gli Asolani del Bembo e i carmi latini del Pontano, dell’Augurello e del cardinal Adriano da Corneto, diede preminenza alla letteratura contemporanes» (C. Dionisotti, Aldo Manuzio umanista e editore, Milano 1995, p. 135). Renouard 49, 2; Laurenziana, n. 91; Ahmanson-Murphy 73; Adams A, 2152. First and sole Aldine edition o the Latin poems by Aurelio Augurelli, an Italian poet and alchimist, Bernardo and Pietro Bembo’s friend."

[Basel: Michael Furter, 1505]. [16]pp. Full-length woodcut portrait of Manuel, King of Portugal, with shield and escutcheon on titlepage, smaller woodcut illustrations and diagrams in text. Small quarto. Modern calf. Bottom inch of titlepage supplied with later paper, mostly replacing blank margin, with slight loss to bottom margin of woodcut illustration on titlepage and slight loss of last line of text on verso. The year "1505" inscribed in ink below image on titlepage. Inner margin of first and last leaf reinforced). Old ink stains on last page. Two insignificant wormholes at bottom edge and in fore- margin, not affecting any text or image. Leaves A4 and A5 supplied in expert facsimile. A good copy. The extremely rare Basel 1505 German- language edition of Vespucci's account of his second voyage to the Brazilian coast in 1501-1502, translated from the author's MUNDUS NOVUS, itself a translation from an Italian manuscript. First published in Paris in 1503 under the title PETRI FRANCISCI DE MEDICIS SALUTEM PLURIMAM, Vespucci's report was printed in a remarkable number of editions, issues, and translations in the following three years. Between 1504 and 1506, twenty-eight separate printings were produced, including fourteen in German, twelve in Latin, and single editions in Dutch and Czech. Also, a separate Italian-language LETTERA printed in 1505 included accounts of this and Vespucci's other two voyages to the New World. While some printings are known to exist in six or seven copies, many are recorded with only one or two locations. EUROPEAN AMERICANA lists copies of this edition only at the JCB and the British Library. Vespucci's account of his voyage to Brazil in 1501 and 1502, addressed to Lorenzo di Pier Francsco de Medici, was the first printed document about Brazil. It was the first of the navigator's reports to be printed and contributed more to his fame than any other letter. As noted above, it achieved extraordinary success during the author's lifetime, and the Vespucci scholar Alberto Magnaghi calculated that by 1550 the text had appeared, separately or reprinted in collections of voyages, more than fifty times. The text provides a colorful and at times fantastic view of the new found lands which clearly engaged the popular imagination. "Amerigo Vespucci, like Columbus, believed that he had reached the shores of Asia, but his more vividly colourful letters gave much greater prominence to the extraordinary aspects of the land which was soon to be named after him. He thus provided greater scope for the imagination -- and for his illustrators. The general impression he gave may be deduced from a German woodcut [broadside] of about 1505, which shows a group of Brazilian cannibals above an inscription summarising his report: 'The people are thus naked, handsome, brown, well-formed in body, their heads, necks, arms, privy parts, feet of women and men are slightly covered with feathers. The men also have many precious stones in their faces and breasts. No one owns anything but all things are in common. And the men have as wives those that please them, be they mothers, sisters, or friends, therein they make no difference. They also fight with each other. They also eat each other even those who are slain, and hang the flesh of them in smoke. They live one hundred and fifty years. And have no government.' '' - Honour. Hough notes that this Basel 1505 edition represents one of two German translations published in different editions at Basel, Munich, Nuremberg, Strassburg, Leipzig, and Magdeburg, adding that these editions "contrast with the single German printing of the Columbus letter and reveal how much more extensive was Vespucci's reputation at the time...Amerigo Vespucci may not have been the first to realize that a new continent had been discovered, but his letters were the first revelations of that startling fact that were read by a large audience throughout Europe. The letters attracted readers not only because of the news of a New World, but because of their vivid descriptions of the cannibalism and sexual promiscuity of the natives. Vespuccci placed himself at the center of action and attention and this brought him rapid and lasting fame." An exceedingly rare copy, with two leaves in facsimile but otherwise in good condition, of an early German- language edition of the Vespucci letter. EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/22. SABIN 99340.

| Small folio. 56 leaves (A1-G4, a1-g4). With 8 woodcut initials. Recent red morocco, spine richly gilt, sides framed and ornated with a neoclassic decor (sides rubbed). First two leaves with marginal restoration (far from text) and spots on the leaves A3-A4, quire b and leaf c1 with marginal worm trails, never affecting text. Despite these inconveniencies a fine, broad-margined copy. Early edition of the apocryphal Secreta secretorum with the commentary of the famous physician Alessandro Achillini. The publishing date can be put around 1505, in consideration of the typographic evidence. A date earlier than 1500 should be excluded because the first edition with Achillini's commentary bears a date of 1501. "Most widely influential upon the mediaeval mind of all the spurious works attributed to Aristoteles was The Secret of secrets This is not surprising since it purports to sum up in concise form what the greatest of ancient philosophers deemed it essential for the greatest of the ancient rulers to know It was printed a number of times before 1500 ... The Secret of the secrets is believed to be the outcome of of a gradual process of compilation from very varied sources, and to have reached something like its present form by the VIIth or VIIIth century of our era. But its chapters on physiognomy go back to Polemon's treatise, and part of its medical discussion is said to be borrowed from Diocles Caristes who wrote about 320 b. C. Some Graeco-Persian treatise is thought to be the basis of its discussion on kingship. It is also believed to have appropriated bits from popular literature to its own uses. In Arabic there is extant both a longer and a shorter version, and Gaster has edited a Hebrew text which is apparently derived from an Arabic original different from that of any Latin text." (Thorndike). The final text is allegedly a translation from Arabic. The translator is Master Philip from Tripoli, a divine on whose identity there is still uncertainty. He has been identified as the papal physician who was sent in 1177 on a mission to Prester John, or also as Philip of Salerno, a royal notary documented in 1200. " Aristotle wrote this book in response to the petition of King Alexander his disciple who demanded that Aristotle should either come to him or faithfully reveal his secrets of certain arts, namely, the motion, operation, and power of stars in astronomy, the art of alchemy, the art of knowing natures nd working enchantments, and the art of geomancy ... Those portions which deal with kingcraft and government display shrewdness and common sense, worldly wisdom and knowledge of human nature, are not restricted by being written from any premise or view-point, and often evince real enlightenment ... The medical theory of the Secret of secrets is not of an advanced or complex sort, but is a combination of curious notions, such as that vomiting once a month or more often is beneficial, and sensible ideas, such as life consists of natural heat and that it is very important to keep the abdomen warm and the bowels moving regularly. Turkish baths are described for perhaps the first time in Europe, and Alexander is advised to keep his teeth and mouth clean ... Much of the advise offered to Alexander by Aristotle is astrological ... Later the two parts of astronomy are distinguished, that is, astronomy and astrology in our sense of the words ... The work discusses the relation of the four elements and of various herbs to the seven planets, and in the next to last chapter Alexander is advised to conduct his wars under the guidance of astrologers. There is much indulging in astrological theory in the midst of the chapter on Justice, and the constitution of the universe is set forth from the first | |
