Dante, Alighieri.
|
| [DIVINA COMMEDIA]. DANTE COL SITO, ET FORMA DELLÕINFERNO EÕL PURGATORIO EÕL PARADISO.
|
(Tuscolano: Alessandro Paganini, [circa 1506]) Rare Aldine counterfeit and the first Paganini edition preceeding the illustrated Aldine edition of 1515. One double-page plate and three full-page plates. 8vo, very finely bound in full calf in the contemporary style imitating the bindings placed on the Aldine editions of the same period. Spine with wide raised bands handsomely gilt-tooled,in compartments and on the bands, the upper cover with central gilt ornamental device and decorated in overall designs gilt in the Italian manner. [248] ff. On verso of first leaf: LOÕNFERNO EÕL PURGATORIO EÕL PARADISO DI DANTE ALAGHIERI; On verso of last leaf: P. ALEX. PAG. BENACENSES F. BENA. V.V. within a double rule woodcut border. A very beautiful copy in an excellent and exemplary state of preservation. FIRST OF THE PRINTING AND OF THE EDITION. An extremely rare Aldine counterfeit of the famous 1502 Dante, but with typeletters somewhat larger and with illustrations. The woodcuts are different from those of the AldusÕ 1515 edition; with comparing minutely both edition, one can judiciously suppose that the set of blocks for the AldusÕ edition was made with cuts redesigned, much larger, and more elaborate that the primitive ones used by Paganini.

First Edition of Pico's Works and second of Hymni. Giovanni Francesco Pico della Mirandola (c.1469- 1533). EGianfrancesco succeded his father as ruler of the independant principate of Mirandola in 1499... Quite early in his life (about 1492) he fell under the influence of Girolamo Savaonarola... Pico wrote many works of philosophy, theology, and poetry... Pico was murdered by his nephew aleotto II...E [Contemporaries of Erasmus] ELike his uncle [Giovanni Della Mirandola] he devoted himself chiefly to philosophy, but made it subject to the Bible, though in his treatises, "De studio divin et human sapienti" and particularly in the six books entitled "Examen doctrin unitatis gentium", he depreciates the authority of the philosophers, above all of Aristotle. He wrote a detailed biography of his uncle and another of Savonarola.E [CE]EThis book [Rerum praenotione] is composed of about ten parts, which later converged into a single German edition, published in 1506. In each part the author thoroughly examines a different aspect of his thought. Pico della Mirandola had a strong passion for astrology, prophecies and the mysticism of numbers and was firmly convinced of the truth of these "sciences". Humans are the core element of his works. According to the author, they have all the germs of life God gave to them and are the creatures that are in closest contact with Nature (reign of necessity). The first nine parts, called books, contain a meticulous analysis of everything related to the term "prenotione" (pre-knowledge) and are divided into different chapters. The first book contains the definition of this phenomenon, together with some considerations on its use and abuse, and how it affects religion. The second book is dedicated to the figure of the prophet and the various ways he can utter his divinations. The third book is about those prophecies "secundum natura", in which Nature shows itself to all living creatures. The author mentions in particular those kinds of "prenotionae" noticed by farm workers, sailors, shepherds and physicians and in the fifth paragraph, here reproduced, he lists all the premonitory signs which farmers use, together with weather phenomena, to predict the future. In the seventh chapter he talks about those predictions "de futuris aegritudinis" (on future grief and worries), "ex observationae luminarium" (observing stars) made by physicians who take into account the influence of lunar phases. In the eighth chapter the author claims that sometimes these precognitions can be quite contradictory, if we compare what shepherds, physicians, wool-spinners and soldiers say. In the fourth book Pico della Mirandola rails against idolatries and satanic rituals, and in the fifth he carefully lists all the various cases in which astrology can prove useful. In the last four parts there are precise references to Plato, Bacon and Apollonio from Tiana. The other books which are not part of the De rerum prenotione have a different table of contents and they deal with philosophical or religious subjects connected to the Catholic religion, like in the De morte Christi & propria cogitanda..., De studio divinae & humanae philosophiae... and the De divini amoris imaginatione...

FILELFO, Francesco (1398-1481)
|
| Epistolae Fracisci Philelfi ex orginario exemplari transsumptae.
|
Pforzheim, Thomas Anshelm 1506. 8°. 3 weisse Bll., 244 nn.Bll. Halbpergamentbd. auf 3 erhabenen Bünden mit Holzdeckeln und Metallschliesse (stärker berieben, Kapital mit Einriss, fleckig, Deckel mit Fehlstellen und Wurmfrassspur). Sehr seltene Postinkunabel von Filelfos berühmtem Briefwechsel aus der Offizin des aus Baden-Baden stammenden und in Basel zum Buchdrucker ausgebildeten Thomas Anshelm. Nachdem er bis 1494/95 in Strassburg gewirkt hatte, druckte er von 1495 bis 1511 im badischen Pforzheim, wo er vor allem die Schriften des Philosophen, Humanisten und ersten deutschen Hebraisten Johannes Reuchlin verlegte. Die lateinischen Episteln des italienischen Humanisten Francesco Filelfo (latinisiert Franciscus Philelphus) zählen zu den bedeutendsten Beispielsammlungen von Briefen der Renaissancezeit. Es gibt kaum eine auf literarischem oder politischem Gebiet nennenswerte Persönlichkeit des 15. Jhdts., mit der Filelfo nicht korrespondierte. Drei Redaktionen seiner chronologisch von 1427 bis 1477 geordneten, teilweise fiktiven, Briefe sind nachgewiesen. Der 1473 durch Wendelin von Speyer in Venedig aufgelegte Erstdruck in nur 16 Büchern basiert auf der zweiten Redaktion und enthält wie alle nachfolgenden Frühdrucke nur lateinische Briefe. Eine Druckausgabe der ersten Redaktion erschien erst im 20. Jhdt. Unser Pforzheimer Druck folgt der massgebenden dritten Redaktion der Briefe (Codex Trivulzianus 873) in 37 Büchern, die als die umfangreichste und kompletteste Version erstmals 1502 in Venedig durch Johannes und Gregorius Gregorius aufgelegt wurde und Episteln bis zum Jahr 1473 enthält. Als Muster feinen und eleganten Stils erlangten Filelfos lateinische Briefe die Bedeutung von Lehr- und Übungsbüchern an den humanistisch geleiteten Schulen in ganz Europa und Neudrucke seiner ?Epistolae? finden sich bis in die Mitte des 18. Jhdts. hinein. - Innendeckel mit ExLibris und handschr. Eintragungen, ebenso Vorsatz, Titelbl. mit handschr. Eintragung und Stempel, Text stellenweise mit handschr. Notizen und Anstreichungen in Tinte, stellenweise fleckig, durchgehend kleine Wurmfrassspuren, einige Bll. mit Feuchtigkeitsspur (obere Ecke). - VD 16 F 1027; vgl. D. Robin, Filelfo in Milan. Writings 1451-1477 (1991), S. 175f.; T. Klette, Beiträge zur Geschichte und Litteratur der ital. Gelehrtenrenaissance (1890), S. 13ff.

ALBERTUS MAGNUS (ALBERTUS DE
|
| Aristotle explained for mediaeval students Philosophia naturalis [Philosophia pauperum].
|
Basel, Michael Furter, 22 June 1506.. 4to. 17th century vellum, remnants of ties. With woodcut initial 'A', the first letter of the author's name, and large symbolic woodcut (115 x 95 mm) on title, depicting the position of the earth in the universe consisting of the four elements and protected by God, surrounded five symbolic emblems: scales, a human head with the numbers 1-10 underneath, a pair of compasses, a carpenter's square and a vase; woodcut printer's device at the end (f. 65r), full-page woodcut of a human head with three circular compartments ('Ventriculus I-III') representing three different of the brains (f. 46r), and 2 large woodcuts in the text of the spheres. (66) lvs., incl. last blank. Collation: a-g8, h8, 14.. Early sixteenth century edition of this popular treatise, also known with the title Philosophiae naturalis Isagoge, sive introductiones in libros Aristotelis Physicorum, de Coelo et mundo, de Generatione et corruptione, Meteorum, de Anima , or Summa Philosophiae naturalis . For obvious reasons the treatise was attributed already in the Middle Ages, to Albertus Magnus. Indeed, the Summa, which contains epitomes of five works of Aristotle on natural philosophy, consists largely of extracts from, and abbreviations of, Albert's massive paraphrase commentaries on Aristotle. Albert's works were often digested by his students and confreres for the instruction of the less learned brethren. In earlier manuscripts this Philosophy for the simple ( Philosophia pauperum , first published in Brixen in 1490; later editions Venice 1496, Leipzig 1502 and 1505), as the work was sometimes also called, is ascribed only to a 'Brother Albert, O.P.'. Other manuscripts are more specific, mentioning an 'Albert of Orlamünde'. Scholars now believe that it was this Albert (fl. late 13th c.), a Dominican teacher in Thüringen, who compiled these digests, which summarize and explain Aristotle's ideas on physics, metaphysics, and mathematics. Three parts are dedicated to heaven and earth, the elements and meteorology, and another part describes the 'anima' in every detail: the soul and mind of the human being and the spirit of animals and plants, the five senses, the human intelligence to invent, judge, memorize and interpret, and emotions like sensibility, sensuality, desire, love, affection, and fear. Other aspects of the mind like fantasy, imagination, dreams, the will, and even the control of the limbs are treated as well. The work is a fine example of the way Aristotle was introduced to students and how Greek and Arab science were taught by Albertus Magnus at the universities. The work provides in fact a short textbook of natural philosophy and psychology which was used in schools throughout the Middle Ages. In the chapter about the soul (De anima) the author discusses the three ventricles of the brain as it is represented in the illustration on f. 46r: a diagram of the ventricles of the brain, sort of a 2D version of a phrenological model, with three perfect circles neatly packed into the brain case. Albertus Magnus was born sometime between 1193 and 1206, in Lauingen in Bavaria Contemporaries such as Roger Bacon applied the term 'Magnus' to Albertus during his own lifetime, referring to his immense reputation as a scholar and philosopher. Albertus was educated principally at Padua, where he received instruction in Aristotle's writings. In 1223 (or 1221) he became a member of the Dominican Order, against the wishes of his family, and studied theology at Bologna and elsewhere. Selected to fill the position of lecturer at Cologne, Germany, where the Dominicans had a house, he taught for several years there, at Regensburg, Freiburg, Strasbourg and Hildesheim. In 1245 he went to Paris, received his doctorate and taught for some time as a master of theology with great success. During this time Thomas Aquinas began to study under Albertus. Good copy, complete with the mostly lacking last blank, with a few contemporary annotations in ink in the margins and on verso of the last blank: two interesting distichs on each of the months January till June.- (Front flyleaf loose). VD16 , A1416; Index Aurel . 102.492; PGK 2.10043; Adams A 532.

LAPIDE, Johannes (Heynlin) de.
|
| In Breslau binding Resolutiorum dubiorum circa celeb(r)ationem missarum occurrentium.
|
Cologne, Joh. Landen, 1506. - 8vo. Original blindstamped calf, spines ribbed, front side decorated with roll cuts representing the Resurrection and the Crucifixion in centre, surrounded by the four Evangelists, the title #Resolutorium XLIII## blindstamped on top and bottom, rear side. Woodcut of the virgin on recto and verso last leaf. (44) lvs. AUGUSTINUS OF LEONISSA. Sermones pulcherrimi super dominicam orationem Pater noster et angelicam salutationem Ave maria. Cologne, Henricus Quentel, 1505. 8vo. With fine woodcut initials. (92) lvs. Two rare early sixteenth century Cologne imprints in fine sixteenth-century blind-stamped binding by the Breslau binder HB, dated 1540. The first work is a popular manual on the rites of the Roman Catholic mass by Johannes (Heynlin) de Lapide, who was the centre of a famous circle of learned men, one of whom was Sebastian Brandt. The work is divided into ten chapters, together treating 43 articles. The second work contains sermons by Augustinus of Leonissa, from the order of St. Augustinus, in two parts, with fifty and twenty-eight sermons respectively. Of special interest is the binding by a Breslau binder known by his monogram HB only. He worked from 1524 to 1540 and made bindings for Johann Hess, the reformer and first evangelical pastor of Breslau, and also for Heinrich Ribisch, syndic of the city of Breslau. For the present binding, two roll tools are used, one with the three images of Christ - Crucifixion, Resurrection and Christ carrying the instruments of his torture - the other with the four Evangelists. Both roll tools carry the initials HB, at the top of the Crucifixion, and above the head of St. Matthew. The date is marked in the tool with the four Evangelists only, at the top of the image of St. Marc. The present book previously belonged to the collection of the church of the cathedral of Breslau, according to the erased manuscript entry on the title of the first work: "Eccle. Cathedralis Wratislaviensis". Good copy, with old ms. name on paste-down and ms. annotations in the margins of the second work.- (Brass corners rear side lacking; lower half of the title cut off; one corner dam.). Ad binding: cf.

This edition contains notes and commentary by Gilbert, a professor of law at the Sorbonne, which display the tension between the Vatican and the French Crown. (Gilbert's preface is dated 1565). Naogeorg, the author of the second work, was a Protestant theologian who is better known as a playwright and controversialist. These were popular works that went through several editions. Of these editions, KVK locates 3 copies of Cucchi, 5 of Naogeorg. Adams, Catalogue of Books Printed on the Continent of Europe, 1501-1600 C3027 (Cucchi), N34 (Naogeorg). [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Boccaccio Giovanni
|
| L’opera de misser Giouanni Boccacio de mulieribus claris.
|
letteratura 6 marzo 1506, Venezia - In-4° (205x146 mm), [154] c. legate all’inzio 6 carte non numerate con un indice manoscritto. Alla prima carta, silografia a mezza pagina (112x94 mm) con monogramma L che raffigura un trionfo di donne illustri che ha in Lucrezia la sua eroina; altre 105 silografie nel testo (74x61 mm), la maggior parte delle quali è ottenuta tramite l’uso di due legni, uno per lo sfondo e il corpo, l’altro per il viso; numerosi capilettera istoriati. Legatura italiana del XVIII secolo in mezza pelle con angoli, piatti in carta marmorizzata, al dorso, riccamente ornato con fregi in oro, duplice tassello con autore, titolo, luogo e anno di edizione. Tagli rossi. Provenienza: Gaetano Melzi? (segnatura al contropiatto). Ottimo esemplare, alcune piccole macchie, due forellini di tarlo nel margine bianco esterno delle ultime dieci carte e uno strappetto nel margine bianco di una carta. Prima edizione del volgarizzamento di Vincenzo Bagli del De mulieribus claris di Giovanni Boccaccio. Il testo consiste in 104 biografie di donne celebri che si susseguono in maniera pressoché cronologica, da Eva alla regina Giovanna di Napoli. Composta tra il 1360 e il 1362 e poi ampliata e rimaneggiata a lungo negli anni successivi, l’opera, ispirata per ammissione dello stesso Boccaccio al De viris illustribus di Petrarca, ha le proprire fonti nelle opere di Ovidio, Virgilio, Valerio Massimo e anche Tacito che probabilmente era sconosciuto a Petrarca. Si tratta di un genere erudito fortemente ispi rato ai modelli della letteratura esemplare, connotato da una narrazione dotta e moraleggiante, mai priva però della piacevolezza e dei toni dilettevoli tipici della scrittura di Boccaccio. « Nella solitudine del suo studio, lo scrittore convoca e giudica i grandi della storia, distribuisce apostrofi e invettive, manifesta la sua dottrina, la sua capacità retorica, la sua disposizione moralistica» (F. BRUNI, Boccaccio, Bologna, 1990, p. 465). E l’intento di Boccaccio è proprio quello di «catalogare» ed esaltare donne accomunate dalla celebrità, raggiunta con l’ingegno, per «insolite virtù» o «eccezionale depravazione», ed è un’opera che consola la donna, allieta e propone utili insegnamenti e modelli di comportamento. Boccaccio presenta donne virtuose acanto a donne che ottennero la propria fama per l’audacia, la forza del carattere, per dono di natura e per i casi della fortuna o per essere state causa generatrice di imprese straordinarie. Accanto a modelli celebri per virtù religiose appartenenti alla tradizione cristiana ed ebraica, compaiono le donne famose della tradizione pagana, fino all’exemplum della meretrice Leena. Di lei Boccaccio ci dice che: «[ ] Leena deve essere aggiunta a così famosa schiera di donne, affinché sia chiaro che non sempre sono connessi a titoli illustri solo gli animi grandi e che la virtù non ripudia nessuno di coloro che la cercano. Così la meretrice Leena sarà lodata come benemerita, per quella parte in cui virtuosamente operò». Novità rivendicata da tale opera è quella della celebrazione e dell’elogio di tante donne del mondo antico che vengono riscattate dall’oblio e sfidano con dignità i modelli di verginità, castità, santità e virtù registrati dalle lettere sacre. Il De mulieribus claris è una produzione del tutto priva di intenti storiografici e parallela ad un’altra raccolta di biografie quale è il De casibus virorum illustrium in cui una serie di ritratti di uomini celebri è spunto per rendere conto della fragilità e instabilità delle vicende e fortune umane. Entrambe le opere godettero di ampia fortuna presso le prime generazioni umanistiche, fortuna che ebbe seguito anche con la nascita della stampa e raggiunse il vertice massimo nel Cinquecento con la consacrazione del Boccaccio a modello per novellistica e trattatistica.

Première édition des "Analemmate" de Ptolémée.

Ce traité sur les cadrans solaires est "un des premiers ouvrages de gnomonique" Houzeau et lancaster, 3072. Il est divisé en deux parties: dans la première, Commandino donne le texte de Ptolémée avec ses commentaires; la deuxième "de Horologiorum" lui est propre. Diagrammes in texte Frederico Commandino (1506-1575) est l'auteur de nombreuses traductions, avec commentaires, de textes classiques scientifiques (Archimède, Ptolémée, Euclide, Apollonius ) En 1558, il publie "Commentarius in planisphaerium Ptolemaei" où il montre déjà une parfaite connaissance de l'esprit de Ptolémée.

|
Ioannem Besicken Alemanum, Roma 1506 - 2 ff bb, 18 ff nn, 547 ff, 12 ff nn, 1 ff bb. Alcune illustrazioni xilografiche nel testo; numerosi capilettera incisi in legno. Magnifica legatura coeva tedesca in mezza pelle di scrofa (riccamente impressa a secco) su assicelle in legno a vista; incisioni a secco sui piatti. Un fermaglio è ancora presente. Piccoli restauri ai piatti ed al dorso. Data impressa a fuoco (1525) sul piatto anteriore. Interno freschissimo e con ampi margini; carta spessa ed esente da bruniture; qualche piccolo segno di tarlo al margine bianco delle prime carte ed alle ultime, con insignificanti coinvolgimenti del testo. Alcune antiche annotazioni (almeno due mani) ai margini bianchi di alcune carte. Diversi importanti ex-libris sul retro del piatto anteriore e sulla prima pagina bianca. Tra loro spicca quello di Scheurl and Tucher inciso da Lucas Cranach il Vecchio (una copia dello stesso è reperibile presso la Deutschen Fotothek di Dresda) e colorato a mano. Al di sotto di questo ex-libris è applicata parte di una vecchia scheda bibliografica che riporta, tra l'altro: "Melancthon (sic) copy, with marginal notes". Nel complesso uno splendido esemplare. Rara prima edizione di questa famosa opera enciclopedica del Maffei (Roma 1451 - 1522, ma che una biografia settecentesca ritiene originario di Volterra) e di cui non abbiamo trovato traccia nel mercato antiquario degli ultimi anni. I 38 libri in cui è divisa vogliono essere una "summa" del sapere scientifico e non solo: alla geografia vengono dedicati ben dodici capitoli; gli altri trattano di zoologia, botanica, mineralogia, giustizia, filosofia aristotelica, oratoria, grammatica, musica, ottica, astronomia, ecc. Molto importante è il riferimento alla scoperta dell'America, una delle prime testimonianze a riguardo: "Set nuper anno MD insulam novam ac maximam invenerunt, quam Sanctam Crucem appellavere. " e particolarmente curiosa è invece la descrizione dei suoi abitanti: "In hac homines degunt anthropophagi, nudi, capillati, colore rufo potius quam atro, sine moribus, sine legibus, sine deo, more ferarum, incolumes alioquin ac diu viventes materia omnis generis: herbisque abundant quibus panem conficiunt". Questa copia è particolarmente degna di nota in quanto sembra essere appartenuta a Melantone, celebre personalità della Riforma Luterana ed amico intimo dello stesso Lutero. Un'ipotesi che rimane comunque da confermare attraverso un'approfondita analisi delle antiche chiose manoscritte. A proposito di questo libro, il Brunet afferma: "Ce livre fort rare est précieux et cher; mais nous ne pouvons en citer d'adjudication". ENGLISH TRANSLATION ON REQUEST.

The present is the second edition (first: 1503) to note the recent discovery of the New World by Columbus, which, according to Sabin, is "the earliest considerable recognition of that important discovery by any general author". The American references, contained in the chapter De Insulis in India, appear on leaves 440v-441r. Among the attractive woodcuts adorning the text are four fine full-page blocks of the Creation, Expulsion, Death of Abel, and Tower of Babel, a 'T-O' world map, and numerous smaller city views of varying sizes: Verona, Genoa, Rome, Milan, Venice, Damascus, Athens, Florence, &c. All of the cuts originally appeared in the 1486 and 1490 editions, with the exception of the enlarged view of Milan, added in the edition of 1503. Adams F749. Alden 506/3. Bell F107.

First Edition of the First Illustrated Spanish Chronicle, written by Lucio Marineo, Italian scholar and historian, who became chaplain and historiographer to King Ferdinand V. Commissioned by the Eight Deputies of Aragon for presentation to King Ferdinand, the work was printed by Georg Coci, or Koch, a German, successor to the press of Pablo and Juan Hurus, and the only printer in Saragossa at the time. James R.P.Lyell, in his Early Book Illustration in Spain, speaks of Koch in the most glowing terms: "Zaragoza in the sixteenth century, so far as illustrated books are concerned, is chiefly notable for the work of one of Spain's great printers, Georg Coci.In 1509, Coci produced the De primis Aragoniae regibus of Lucius Marineus.There are a number of cuts in the book mostly portraits of Kings, with scroll work extending down the inner margin of the page. One of the most striking of these portrait cuts appears on fol. xviii b, and represents Raimundus and his fiancee, Petronilla.". (pp. 121-22) Juan M.Sanchez calls this one of the best typographical products of Koch's press. Adams M593. Brunet III 1432. Graesse IV 400. Norton, , 628.

In the seventh chapter he talks about those predictions "de futuris aegritudinis" (on future grief and worries), "ex observationae luminarium" (observing stars) made by physicians who take into account the influence of lunar phases. In the eighth chapter the author claims that sometimes these precognitions can be quite contradictory, if we compare what shepherds, physicians, wool-spinners and soldiers say.

| DIVINA COMMEDIA]. DANTE COL SITO, ET FORMA DELLÕINFERNO EÕL PURGATORIO EÕL PARADISO.
|
Tuscolano Alessandro Paganini [circa 1506] - Rare Aldine counterfeit and the first Paganini edition preceeding the illustrated Aldine edition of 1515. One double-page plate and three full-page plates. 8vo, very finely bound in full calf in the contemporary style imitating the bindings placed on the Aldine editions of the same period. Spine with wide raised bands handsomely gilt-tooled,in compartments and on the bands, the upper cover with central gilt ornamental device and decorated in overall designs gilt in the Italian manner. [248] ff. On verso of first leaf: LOÕNFERNO EÕL PURGATORIO EÕL PARADISO DI DANTE ALAGHIERI; On verso of last leaf: P. ALEX. PAG. BENACENSES F. BENA. V.V. within a double rule woodcut border. A very beautiful copy in an excellent and exemplary state of preservation. FIRST OF THE PRINTING AND OF THE EDITION. An extremely rare Aldine counterfeit of the famous 1502 Dante, but with typeletters somewhat larger and with illustrations. The woodcuts are different from those of the AldusÕ 1515 edition; with comparing minutely both edition, one can judiciously suppose that the set of blocks for the AldusÕ edition was made with cuts redesigned, much larger, and more elaborate that the primitive ones used by Paganini.

| Sommario del libro d'oro del Maggior Consiglio
|
- Venezia, secolo XVIII. In-8°, 500 c.n.n.; inchiostro rosso e nero. Il Maggior Consiglio era il maggiore organo politico della Repubblica di Venezia e si riuniva in un'apposita ampia sala del Palazzo Ducale. Ad esso spettava la nomina del Doge (la procedura di elezione era complicatissima e prevedeva circa dieci passaggi di elezioni e sorteggi) e di tutti gli altri consigli e numerose magistrature, con poteri illimitati e sovrani su qualunque questione. La partecipazione al Maggior Consiglio era un diritto ereditario ed esclusivo delle famiglie patrizie iscritte nel Libro d'Oro della nobiltà veneziana, la cui istituzione giungerà addirittura dopo più di due secoli, nel 1506 e nel 1526.Idealmente i "libri d'oro nascite" e i registri "Balla d'oro", conservati nell'ufficio dell'Avogaria di Comun, legati al processo cui era soggetto ciascun patrizio per accedere al Maggior Consiglio, nonché la lista di tutti i detentori di cariche, potrebbero fornirci preziose informazioni, ma essi sono sistematici solo dal Cinquecento in poi e in ogni modo comporterebbero un immenso lavoro di spoglio per ottenere come solo risultato sicuro la presenza delle famiglie nel Maggior Consiglio; ma le date di cooptazione e d'estinzione sarebbero emerse solo in minima parte. Inoltre, un lavoro di questa portata non avrebbe coperto il periodo che va dal 1297 al 1506. Malgrado ciò, il patriziato veneziano ha saputo predisporre nel corso dei secoli una serie di strumenti che fungevano da vere banche dati politiche e sociali, e che permettevano la rapida identificazione della veste sociale e politica di famiglie e persone: libri d'oro che elencavano tutti i membri del Maggior Consiglio secondo appartenenza famigliare; cronache di famiglie che studiavano la storia d'ogni famiglia membro del Maggior Consiglio, e che fornivano la data di cooptazione e d'estinzione; liste d'elezioni alle cariche e genealogie di singole famiglie. La loro affidabilità cambia secondo il genere: i libri d'oro - prima manoscritti, poi stampati sotto il titolo di La Temi Veneta e Protogiornale - sono considerati fedeli alle carte prodotte dall'amministrazione pubblica, mentre le cronache, manipolate a scopo politico o personale, non sono di grande aiuto, eccetto un solo caso: il Cod. Marc. It. VII, 105 (=7732). Questa cronaca, compilata tra il 1559 e 1567, è frutto di indagine accurata - svolta con ogni probabilità su richiesta ufficiale – su tutte le famiglie veneziane considerate nobili, incluse quelle che sedevano in Maggior Consiglio ed estinte prima della "serrata". Contrariamente ad altre cronache - più attente all'invenzione d'origini illustri per le famiglie - la novità di quest’ultima sta nel fatto che il compilatore identifica il momento della divisione della famiglia in casate con le relative armi e individua l'ultimo membro d'ogni famiglia estinta e la sua ultima carica sulla base, sembra, di documenti ufficiali.(Dorit Raines, Cooptazione, aggregazione e presenza in Maggior Consiglio: le casate del patriziato veneziano (1297-1797)

ALBERTUS MAGNUS.
|
| Aristotle popularized Philosophia naturalis.

Basel, Michael Furter, 1506, June 22. - Sm. 4to. 17th century vellum, remnants of ties. With woodcut initial 'A', the first letter of the author's name, and large symbolic woodcut (115x95mm) on title, depicting the position of the earth consisting of the four elements and protected by God, in the universe surrounded five symbolic emblems: scales, a human head with the numbers 1-10 underneath, a pair of compasses, a carpenter's square and a vase; woodcut printer's device at the end (f. 65r), full-page woodcut of a human head, indicating 'Ventriculus I-III' (f. 46r), and 2 large woodcuts in the text of the spheres. (66) lvs., incl. last blank. Popular treatise by Albertus Magnus, in which he summarizes and explains for his students Aristotle's ideas on physics, metaphysics, and mathematics. Three parts are dedicated to heaven and earth, the elements and meteorology, and another part describes the 'anima' in every detail: the soul and mind of the human being and the spirit of animals and plants, but also the five senses, the human intelligence to invent, judge, memorize and interprete, and emotions like sensibility, sensuality, desire, love, affection, and fear. Other aspects of the mind like phantasy, imagination, dreams, the will, and even the control of the limbs are treated as well. The work is a fine example of the way Albertus Magnus introduced Aristotle to his students and taught Greek and Arab science at the universities. Good copy.- (Front flyleaf loose; a few contemporary annotations in ink in the margins and on verso of the last blank). Adams A 532; this title not in STC German, Duveen, Ferguson, Caillet or Machiels.
