MACER FLORIDUS, Aemilius
|
| Herbarum varias qui vis cognoscere vires: huc Macer adest: quo duce doctor eris. [Editado por Pierre Guéroult].
|
- S.l.n.a. (París), Petro Baquelier, (c.1510-1515). En 8º. 159 hojas (de 160, falto de la última blanca sólo). Signaturas a-v8. Portada con grabado de madera que cocupa la práctica totalidad de la hoja, 65 grabados en madera ilustrando plantas a tamaño algo mayor de media página. Encuadernación en pleno marroquén estilo Grolier con rica decoración dorada en cubiertas, lomera y contratapa. Muy temprana edición del "De Viribus Herbarum" ilustrada con 65 grabados en madera, quizá el más famoso tratado medieval sobre la virtud y beneficios de las plantas y de las yerbas. Se considera generalmente que el autor fue Odo de Meung, físico y naturalista francés del siglo XI. Todas las ediciones son extraordinariamente raras; el texto original aparece en forma de poema y se describen setenta y siete plantas. Es el primer texto francés y uno de los primeros textos occidentales que se dedican a la Botánica.Este popular poema medieval es el primer herbario impreso, cuya primera edición apareció sin ilustrar en Nápoles en 1477 y posteriormente ilustrada en Milán en 1482; se describen las virtudes de ochenta y ocho plantas, yerbas, especies, etc. A principios del siglo XVI aparecen en París una serie de ediciones, sin indicaciones tipográficas en la mayoría de los casos, donde se reproduce el texto de Macer comentado y anotado por Pierre Guéroult, profesor de medicina en Caen. Todas estas tempranas ediciones parisinas sin fechar comparten la misma colación y están ilustradas con los mismos grabados en madera. Se diferencian generalmente en pequeños detalles del título o del colofón y en la composición de las portadas. Hemos localizado cuatro variantes: la nuestra que muestra en recto de la portada un escribano con un perro y texto al verso; la descrita por Durling 2888 donde aparece el mismo grabado en el recto de la portada y se repite al verso; la descrita por Moreau A, con un grabado de la crucifixión en el recto de la portada; y la descrita por Hunt 22 que aparentemente es igual a la nuestra excepto en un colofón en v7 recto que no aparece en nuestra emisión. La primera edición comentada por Guéroult es de 1509 y como nuestra edición parece ser la más primitiva de las descritas anteriormente creemos que su impresión se realizó inmediatamente después, en 1510 posiblemente.Los sesenta y cinco grabados de plantas en perfecto estado, con el papel muy limpio. Portada con restauración en el margen exterior afectando muy ligeramente al grabado, segunda hoja con mínima restauración marginal sin afectar, por lo demás perfecto ejemplar, muy limpio.Referencias: Haller, Bibliotheca Botanica I, p. 125

[y] Paris: Impresse impensis communibus Joannis Parvi et Jodoci Badii Ascensii, 1528. - Dos tomos en un volúmen en folio; el primero tiene una hoja, 122 folios numerados, 7 hojas, con diversas pérdidas: portada, seis hojas preliminares, y tres folios que presentan desgarros con carencia de texto. El segundo tiene 4 hojas, 120 folios. Presenta falta de portada y pérdida parcial de texto en la hoja que le sigue, anterior a la tabla. Impresión en letra gótica para ambos tomos. Capitulares grabadas en criblé. Anotaciones marginales manuscritas, de la época. Texto limpio y amplios márgenes. Buen estado de conjunto pese a las faltas señaladas. Encuadernación de la época, en piel sobre tabla, con ruedas gofradas y restos de cierres, bastante fatigada, pero sólida. Rarísima edición de los Comentarios a los Libros primero y segundo de las «Sentencias» de Pedro Lombardo, obra del gran teólogo e historiador John Mair, nacido en Gleghornie, cerca de Haddington, quien ejerció una gran influencia desde sus Cátedras de Lógica y Teología de las Universidades de Paris, Glasgow y especialmente en St. Andrew's, no sólo en el pensamiento escolástico y nominalista de su época, sino en el desarrollo de una conciencia nacional escocesa, por sus escritos históricos y políticos, y al mismo tiempo como maestro de figuras tales como John Knox, Patrick Hamilton y George Buchanan, ilustres reformadores escoceses, y en su etapa parisina de personajes de la talla de Calvino, Ignacio de Loyola y Francisco de Vitoria. Hay que destacar igualmente que en dicha etapa en la cátedra de lógica del Colegio Monteagudo, Montaigu, en la Sorbona, se formó un círculo de lógicos españoles alrededor de Major, integrado por Jerónimo Pardo, Antonio y Luis Núñez Coronel, Fernando de Encinas, Juan de Celaya, Juan Dolz y Gaspar Lax. En el pensamiento de Major se halla la afirmación de que la autoridad de la Iglesia no reside en el Papa sino en el conjunto de la misma, así como que la autoridad civil reside en el pueblo quien la transfiere, «sub conditione», al gobernante, pudiendola recuperar eventualmente, incluso por la fuerza. -

Size of miniature: 195 x 120mm. On verso printed gothic text within a woodcut border, small illuminated initials. 1510. A very large and very colourful miniature from an early 16th century printed Horae which has been overpainted in very rich colours. At the foot outlines of two other babies can be seen on the tiled floor. Printed Books of Hours were very popular in the early 16th century, but the example from which our leaf comes must have very sumptuous especially with such rich colouring. It was probably illuminated in the workshop of Germain Hardouin, the brother of the printer and a skilled illuminator himself.

PECKHAM, John.
|
| Perspectiva Communis.
|
- [Edited by Luca Gaurico]. Fine large woodcut on title depicting a scholar sitting in his library with three pupils to his left & numerous geometrical woodcuts in the outer margins of the text (two cropped at foot). 18 leaves. Small folio, attractive modern blue morocco by Zaehnsdorf. [Paris?: ca. 1510]. A fine and handsome early edition of this classic work on optics; it was the most influential text on the subject for three hundred years. "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. Fine copy preserved in a morocco-backed box. ? 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 Perspectiva communis."

COLONNA (Pompeio), bp. of Rieti, d.
|
| Document on vellum of a sale of a piece of land during the papacy of Julius II, dated 31 January
|
- Notarial sign manual at foot of document with "Stefanus" spelled out in a succession of individual letters, Size of document: 2 1510. A document which records the sale of a piece of land in the territory of Castrum in Contrada by Joannes Tabeus, son of Luca de Iulianello The piece of land is called "la pecza della Casa" and is sold to Zerle de Cerbaria for 50 ducats given in the presence of the notary and witnesses. The document also contains the attestation of the notary in a cursive hand, and a subscription dated 16 February 1512 by which Pompeius Colonna, bishop of Riete and abbot of Subiaco confirms the sale and purchase of the land.The Colonna family was the most powerful of the Roman families in the Renaissance and it was not until the reign of Pope Paul IV (1555-9) that the family was reduced to a position of political and economic dependency which ensured their loyalty as subjects. Pompeio Colonna reluctantly entered the Church to represent his family in that sphere, but nevertheless was politically active in the disturbed times at the beginning of the 16th century He took the side of Emperor Charles V in his quarrel with the Pope, and the desecration of St.Peters and the Vatican in 1526 caused him to be forever remembered with infamy.

MACER FLORIDUS, Aemilius
|
| Herbarum varias qui vis cognoscere vires: huc Macer adest: quo duce doctor eris. [Editado por Pierre Guéroult].
|
- S.l.n.a. (París), Petro Baquelier, (c.1510-1515). En 8º. 159 hojas (de 160, falto de la última blanca sólo). Signaturas a-v8. Portada con grabado de madera que cocupa la práctica totalidad de la hoja, 65 grabados en madera ilustrando plantas a tamaño algo mayor de media página. Encuadernación en pleno marroquén estilo Grolier con rica decoración dorada en cubiertas, lomera y contratapa. Muy temprana edición del "De Viribus Herbarum" ilustrada con 65 grabados en madera, quizá el más famoso tratado medieval sobre la virtud y beneficios de las plantas y de las yerbas. Se considera generalmente que el autor fue Odo de Meung, físico y naturalista francés del siglo XI. Todas las ediciones son extraordinariamente raras; el texto original aparece en forma de poema y se describen setenta y siete plantas. Es el primer texto francés y uno de los primeros textos occidentales que se dedican a la Botánica.Este popular poema medieval es el primer herbario impreso, cuya primera edición apareció sin ilustrar en Nápoles en 1477 y posteriormente ilustrada en Milán en 1482; se describen las virtudes de ochenta y ocho plantas, yerbas, especies, etc. A principios del siglo XVI aparecen en París una serie de ediciones, sin indicaciones tipográficas en la mayoría de los casos, donde se reproduce el texto de Macer comentado y anotado por Pierre Guéroult, profesor de medicina en Caen. Todas estas tempranas ediciones parisinas sin fechar comparten la misma colación y están ilustradas con los mismos grabados en madera. Se diferencian generalmente en pequeños detalles del título o del colofón y en la composición de las portadas. Hemos localizado cuatro variantes: la nuestra que muestra en recto de la portada un escribano con un perro y texto al verso; la descrita por Durling 2888 donde aparece el mismo grabado en el recto de la portada y se repite al verso; la descrita por Moreau A, con un grabado de la crucifixión en el recto de la portada; y la descrita por Hunt 22 que aparentemente es igual a la nuestra excepto en un colofón en v7 recto que no aparece en nuestra emisión. La primera edición comentada por Guéroult es de 1509 y como nuestra edición parece ser la más primitiva de las descritas anteriormente creemos que su impresión se realizó inmediatamente después, en 1510 posiblemente.Los sesenta y cinco grabados de plantas en perfecto estado, con el papel muy limpio. Portada con restauración en el margen exterior afectando muy ligeramente al grabado, segunda hoja con mínima restauración marginal sin afectar, por lo demás perfecto ejemplar, muy limpio.Referencias: Haller, Bibliotheca Botanica I, p. 125

Venezia, Tacuino, 1510 Small folio. Contemp. wooden boards with remains of leather and metal clasps, early 20th century blind-stamped calf spine; corners worn. With a vignette on title, a most attractive and large three-side border on A1, several large and small decorative initials, numerous geometrical figures and diagrams, and a woodcut printer's device at end. (10), (230) ff.; generally a fresh copy, with some foxing and light soiling on a few leaves, and small wormholes at beginning and end occasionally just touching the text. «A very important edition appeared in 1505 printed at Venice by Joannes Tacuinus. It was translated into Latin from a Greek text by Bartolommeo Zamberti... The volume itself is a first-rate example of the Venetian book of the time. There is an elaborate title-page with the printer's well-known cut of John the Baptist at the foot. The first page of the text has a fine border, and the larger initials are a charming set depicting children playing. The enunciations are printed in gothic, the demonstrations in roman type. In 1510 some of the same sheets were reissued with a freshly printed last page containig the colophon, a misreading of which has often led to the issue being described as of 1517. Both issues seem to be amongst the rarest of early Euclids...» (Thomas Stanford, Euclid, n.5 and p.5). Essling 283. Adams E-973. Riccardi II, 645. Honeyman 974

Milan, Nicolaus Gorgonzola, 1510. Folio. (18),+ 224 blad. Titelsidan med Gorgonzolas boktryckarmärke i träsnitt. Enstaka fläckar, något värre sidan 61, delvis hårt skuren med bokstavsförlust på övre rubrik sidorna 168 och 184, sista sidan med papperslagning. Samtida bläckanteckningar i marginalen samt fåtaliga understrykningar med grön krita. Senare hfrbd med guldornerad rygg med tre upphöjda bind och titeletikett i pergament (Nanna Grönvall). Ur Erik Dahlbergs bibliotek med hans namnteckning på titelsidan! Schweiger II, s. 1105. Carlander II, 104. Omtryck av 1508-års upplaga. Böcker som tillhört fältmarkskalken greve Erik Dahlberg (1625-1703) är ovanliga. Carlander nämner inget om hans egentliga bibliotek, men att hans familjearkiv anlades på Ströpsta i Turinge socken, där man kanske kan tänka sig att även böckerna förvarades. Valerius Maximus (ca. 50 e. K.) "Memorabilia et dicta" i nio böcker är ett kompilat av minnesvärda händelser och yttranden hämtade ur Cicero, Sallustius, Livius m. fl., vilket såsom "Furstespegel" och exempelsamling blev mycket populärt under renässansen, och tillhör de böcker som trycktes i flest upplagor och lästes av furstar och fältherrar - sådana som Dahlberg. Walde nämner ett flertal antika författare bland de böcker som Dahlberg fått med sig som krigsbyte från Polen, men dock ingen Valerius Maximus (Walde II s. 9f.).

Testo latino. Cm.16,3x11,8. Pg.200 non numerate. Legatura coeva in piena pelle con dorso a quattro scomparti. Piatto anteriore parzialmente staccato. Impressioni a secco ai piatti. Doppia bordura a triplice filetto, cornice fitomorfa, decorazione a losanga e impressione ornamentale agli specchi. Fogli di guardia marmorizzati. Tagli in rosso. Mancano i nicchi di chiusura. Frontespizio inciso in rosso e nero. Capilettera ornamentali xilografici. Testo in caratteri gotici su due colonne. Al margine inferiore della seconda carta stemma cardinalizio policromo dipinto a mano. Nato a Scyllacium nel Bruzio tra il 480 e il 490, Flavius Magnus Aurelius, in seguito Cassiodorus, fu celebre scrittore e uomo politico ai tempi di Teodorico. Proveniente da una potente famiglia di funzionari di origine siriana, iniziò assai presto la carriera amministrativa ricoprendo le cariche di consigliere, questore, segretario, console ordinario, fino a giungere nel 533 al grado di "praefectus praetorii", già ricoperto dal padre. Si ritirò in vecchiaia in Calabria dedicandosi agli studi. Le sue opere, di argomento svariato, ebbero ampia diffusione e influenza sulla letteratura latina medioevale e forniscono utilissimi spunti per la conoscenza della vita e della cultura del tempo. Il presente testo costituisce una sorta di antologia di tre autori greci, Socrate, Sozomeno e il vescovo Teodoreto di Ciro, che qui viene chiamato Teodorico, e che sono interdipendenti tra di loro. Cassiodoro, dopo una breve prefazione che presenta le opere dei tre scrittori, ne sottolinea l'utilità per il lettore cristiano. Le sue versioni, proposte in una sistemazione unica ed organica ("in unum collecte") sono condotte grazie all’opera di Epifanio "scholasticus", un ellenista piuttosto mediocre. Ne viene fuori una specie di "hystoria ecclesiastica", che praticamente è una continuazione di quella di Eusebio di Cesarea. > Adams, 871. Choix 15932. ICCU, RMLE\015822.

ANONIMO [ sub. nom. "C. Plini Secundi"
|
| De viris illustribus cum tabula noviter impressus
|
s.l. [Roma] s.e. [Mazzocchi] s.d. [ca. 1510] 22x15 legatura settecentesca in pergamena, titolo calligrafato al dorso XXIV cc. frontespizio con titolo inquadrato in una bella cornice architettonica, decorazioni floreali colorate in inchiostro rosso e delfini. Post-incunabolo stampato in carattere romano, 28 righe per pagina. Opera erroneamente attribuita ad Aurelio Sesto Vittore (Africa del Nord, ca. 330 d.C.) pubblicata precedentemente già intorno al 1480 sotto il nome di Plinio il Giovane con il titolo "De Viris illustribus Romae" e ristampato più volte con titolo modificato (Cfr. Hain 1966: vol. I nn. 2129 - 2130 - 2135 - 2139 - 2140). "Il compendio di Aurelio Vittore [Storia dei Cesari] trattava soltanto il periodo di storia romana che iniziava da Augusto. In un momento non meglio precisabile (probabilmente nel quarto secolo o all'inizio del quinto, ma alcuni hanno addirittura proposto una data molto più tarda), uno sconosciuto editore unì alla sua opera altri due sommari storici, al fine di costituire una storia complessiva di Roma dalle origini fino al quarto secolo. La prima di queste epitomi, "Origo gentis Romanae", si occupava del periodo leggendario da Saturno a Romolo; la seconda, "De viris illustribus urbis Romae", copriva il periodo della Monarchia e della Repubblica. Entrambi gli scritti sono opera di sconosciuti, ma chiaramente non dello stesso autore. (...) Il "De viris illustribus" è una serie di ottantasei biografie di uomini famosi, che si apre con Proca, re di Alba Longa, e Romolo; continua quindi attraverso i re di Roma e i padri fondatori della Repubblica fino agli eroi della prima età repubblicana, quali Camillo, P. Decio Mure, T. Manlio Torquato, a figure storiche come Appio Claudio Cieco, Quinto Fabio Massimo il Temporeggiatore, Catone il Censore e Scipione l'Africano, per concludere con gli uomini dell'ultimo secolo della Repubblica: i Gracchi, Mario, Saturnino, Silla, Cesare, Cicerone, Antonio e Ottaviano. L'opera comprende anche le biografie di alcuni nemici di Roma quali il re dell'Epiro Pirro, Antioco di Siria, Mitridate e Cleopatra, la cui breve biografia chiude la serie. Nella sua forma attuale il "De viris illustribus" non contiene alcuna prefazione né stabilisce alcun rapporto narrativo fra le varie biografie. Lo stile, nei passi migliori, è conciso ed epigrammatico con una tendenza alle antitesi forzate (...). Il linguaggio è post-classico. L'editore che compilò la raccolta di storia romana riteneva che il "De viris illustribus" fosse un'epitome di Livio. In realtà le fonti non sono facili da identificare (...). Il "De viris illustribus" è utile soprattutto per il fatto che riempie due lacune dell'epitome di Livio a nostra disposizione" (Robert Browning, in AA.VV., "The Cambridge History of Classical Literature. Vol. II", Cambridge University Press, 1982; trad. it. di Laura Simonini, "La letteratura latina della Cambridge University", Arnoldo Mondadori, 1992; vol. II, pag. 521). Questa edizione reca 78 biografie (manca per es. quella di Cleopatra) più la biografia di Plinio il Giovane a cui il compilatore (Angelus Tiphernas) attribuisce il testo, con l'aggiunta di un utile indice alfabetico dei personaggi. Rispetto all'esemplare collazionato negli "Annali Tipografici di Giacomo Mazzocchi", oltre alle carte 15 e 16 anche la carta 9 è numerata in numero arabo. Forellino di tarlo al bordo superiore bianco delle prime cinque carte, alcune bruniture. Esemplare in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Basel, Johann Amerbach, 1510. 1510 5 parts in one vol., folio, gothic letter, with 20 fine woodcuts, some full-page by Urs Graf, and another woodcut by the Master DS; rubricated throughout, initials supplied in red and blue, ruled in red; bound in French 18th-century red morocco, gilt border on the sides, flat spine gilt with fleurons, green morocco title-label, edges gilt. First printed edition of the Statutes of the Carthusian Order, a magnificent copy. Printed at the expense of the editor, Gregor Reisch (c. 1467-1525), author of the “Margarita philosophica”, for distribution to the members of the Order only.The original compiler, Guigo de Castro (Gigues du Chastell), became a monk of the Grande Chartreuse in 1107, and three years later was elected prior. “To Guigo the Carthusian Order in great measure owes its fame, if not its very existence. When he became prior, only two charterhouses existed, the Grande Chartreuse and the Calabrian house where St. Bruno had died; nine more were founded during his twenty-seven years’ priorship. These new foundations made it necessary to reduce to writing the traditional customs of the mother-house. Guigo’s Statutes, composed in 1127 or 1128, have always remained the basis of all Carthusian legislation” (Webster).There are four large cuts representing the history of the Carthusian Order and 17 portraits of popes, all by Urs Graf (see His, Urs Graf, nos. 203-223). Koegler (Kunstchronik, N.S. XVIII, p. 290) attributes the representation of “Guillhelmus Rainaldi” to the Master DS.

First Editions. Printed on Vellum. Both volumes are PRINTED ON VELLUM. The first work is a life of St John Gualbert who founded the Vallombrosan Order, based on the Benedictine rule but with a greater emphasis on contemplation, in about 1036. The order underwent various reforms over the centuries, and for a time counted amongst its novices Galileo. It was eventally suppressed in 1866. The second work, a compendium of the abbots general of the same order, was issued with the first work and thus has been incorrectly ascribed to Adimari. The order's woodcut device on the title-page was originally used in a Vallombrosan missal of 1503. Camerini assets that the Adimari volume is 1511 rather than the 1510 date in the colophon. “St. John Gualbert, son of the noble Florentine Gualbert Visdomini, was born in 985 (or 995), and died at Passignano, 12 July, 1073, on which day his feast is kept; he was canonized in 1193... John Gualbert became a Benedictine at San Miniato, but left that monastery to lead a more perfect life. His attraction was for the cenobitic not eremitic life, so after staying for some time with the monks at Camaldoli, he settled at Vallombrosa, where he founded his monastery...The holy lives of the first monks at Vallombrosa attracted considerable attention and brought many requests for new foundations, but there were few postulants, since few could endure the extraordinary austerity of the life...After the founder's death the order spread rapidly... St. John adopted the Rule of St. Benedict but added greatly to its austerity and penitential character. His idea was to unite the ascetic advantages of the eremitic life to a life in community, while avoiding the dangers of the former. Severe scourging was inflicted for any breach of rule, silence was perpetual, poverty most severely enforced. The rule of enclosure was so strict that the monks might not go out even on an errand of mercy. The main point of divergence lay in the prohibition of the manual work, which is prescribed by St. Benedict. St. John's choir monks were to be pure contemplatives and to this end he introduced the system of lay-brothers who were to attend to the secular business. He was among the first to systematize this institution, and it is probable that it was largely popularized by the Vallumbrosans. The term conversi (lay brothers) occurs for the first time in Abbot Andrew of Strumi's Life of St. John, written at the beginning of the twelfth century. The Vallumbrosans do not, strictly speaking, form a separate order, but a Benedictine congregation, though they are not united to the confederated congregations of the Black Monks.” [Catholic Ency.] EDIT 267.
