| De Ritibus Baptismi, et sacræ synaxis apud Syros Christianos receptis, liber.Antwerp, Christoffel Plantin, 1572.WITH: [WIDMANSTETTER (VON WIDMANSTADT), Johann Albrecht]. Syriacæ Linguæ Prima Elementa.Antwerp, Christoffel Plantin, 1572. 4to. 2 works in 1 volume. Christian prayers and baptismal rites in Syriac, with a different woodcut Golden Compasses publisher's device on each title-page and 1 (lovely) woodcut decorative initial letter. Both works set in Syriac types (serto for the main text with estrangela mostly for headings) with a Latin translation in a parallel column on the gutter side (in italic with headings in roman) and a Hebrew transliteration at the foot. Near contemporary (ca. 1598) limp sheepskin parchment.

- "132" [= 124]; (8), 23 pp. Adams S-1021 & S-1023/W-139 (9 & 7 copies); BMC STC Dutch, p. 187; Smitskamp, Philologia Orientalis 96; Voet 1120 & 2207 (6 & 5 copies). Two important contributions to the study of early Christianity as well as to Syriac linguistics and typography. The first work presents the baptismal rites practiced by Syriac-speaking Christians in the Middle East in the time of the author, Severus of Alexandria (ca. 465-ca. 540). He was Patriarch of Antioch from 1512 to 1518, and spent many years in Constantinople before and after. His works were banned and ordered to be burned in 536, so that only fragments survive.The present text comes from a manuscript sent to Plantin by his partner Daniel van Bomberghen (Bombergus) and edited by Guy Le Fèvre de la Boderie (1541-1598), who also edited the companion work, an introduction to the Syriac language with notes on the alphabet taken from Widmanstetter’s 1555 book of the same title, but the editor added a series of prayers also taken from a manuscript supplied by Van Bomberghen. The preliminaries of the Severus give detailed information on the origins of the publications, which grew out of Le Fèvre de la Boderie’s work on Plantin’s Polyglot Bible, published 1569-1572. They use the two Syriac types (serto and estrangela) that Robert Granjon cut in 1569 for the Polyglot, where they first appeared in 1570. The Elementa begins with a synopsis of the alphabet in both faces with the Hebrew and Latin equivalents and the names in all three scripts, information on the diacritical marks, etc. It no doubt helped to establish Granjon’s Syriacs as the standard form for many years.The endpapers provide a rare example of a sixteenth-century dated watermark: a one-handled pot, topped by a bunch of eleven grapes (arranged 1, 1, 3, 3, 3), the pot bearing the date "1598" and initials possibly "GG" (not in Briquet, but see his mark 12885). The book bears four owner’s inscriptions, the oldest "Ex libris Erasmi et Hammeri" probably referring to the Jena orientalist Christoph Hammer (1550-1597), the next (dated 1789) by the German/Danish orientalist theologian Friedrich Münter (1761-1830) and another by his son(?) dated 1831. In very good condition and with generous margins, with only a water stain at the head, mostly in the first two quires of the Severus. The preliminaries to the Elementa are bound before the Severus, with the rest following it. An important work of early Christianity in the Middle East, and of Syriac linguistics and typography.

- (15), 308, (1 blank) ll. Karlsruher Virt. Kat. (3 copies); Haebler I, p. 475, roll 3 (not seen); cf. Adams S-1512 (1577 Antwerp ed.); NUC (1 copy each of 5 other eds.); OLCL WorldCat (1 copy of 1559 Venice ed.); not in BMC STC German; De Backer & Sommervogel; Gumuchian. Rare second Dillingen edition of Viexmont’s popular Methodus Confessionis, a schoolbook for teaching Latin grammar through confessional and penitential prayers and one of the earliest books printed in Dillingen, here in a contemporary binding with the initials of the binder and owner.First published at Paris c. 1531 under the title Libellus de Institutione Puerorum and intended for students at the Collège de Navarre, the book appeared under the title Methodus Confessionis from its second edition in 1532 and with the present sub-title from at least the Venice edition of 1545. It was perhaps at this date that it was revised by Pedro de Soto (d. 1563, probably the Jesuit of that name, active c. 1548-1558) though earlier editions are sometimes ascribed to him as well. Dozens of editions appeared in France, the Low Countries, Germany and Italy within a half century of the first edition, some of them abridged. The dedicatory epistle of the present edition is dated April 1553 at Dillingen (an der Donau, in Schwaben), where Sebald Mayer set up the town’s first printing office in association with the Catholic University established there in 1552. The 1553 edition of the present work may have been his first book, and his printing office published the only four German editions we have traced. Such schoolbooks were rapidly worn out with use, so that all editions are very rare.The binding is decorated with a single blind-tooled roll (205 x 24 mm) bearing the binder’s initials "BW" and four portraits with attributes and mottos: Jesus, the Apostle Paul, King David and the Apostle John. It is no doubt the roll recorded by Haebler, though it appears to have "APARVIT" with one rather than two Ps (not having seen it, Haebler gives no dimensions and no example, merely citing Husung, Bucheinbände. Preußischen Staatsbib., p. 23). It has here been impressed in four parts (two side by side on each cover) each showing slightly more than half the roll and together omitting nothing. Above the rolls on the front cover are the owner’s initials "TG." The brass catches and catch-plates are also decorated. With an early ownership inscription on the title-page and an early twentieth-century bookplate, both from the Kapuziner Bibliothek in Immenstadt (Schwaben), and with their paper labels on the spine. Other brief inscriptions on the front pastedown and the final blank leaf. The Schwabian printer and provenance suggest that the binder BW and first owner TG may also be Schwabian, but we have not identified them.In very good condition, only slightly trimmed and with a few deckles intact, and with only one or two minor marginal tears, holes, smudges or water stains, not affecting the text. With some words of the title "rubricated" in yellow-green and some underlining in the prelims. In a few sheets the inexperienced printer centred the press points (as in an 8vo, 4to or folio) so that their point-holes appear in the foredge margin of leaves three and four of their eight-leaf gatherings. The binding is rubbed but still good, with the head and foot of the backstrip gone, and with a small lacuna in the leather of the front cover, affecting an ornament (?) between the owner’s initials T and G. The decorated brass clasps have survived very well, with their leather straps and decorated brass catch-plates, lacking one of the two small undecorated strap-plates. A rare Schwabian religious schoolbook, with a Schwabian provenance and a contemporary binding with binder’s and owner’s initials.

s. l. s. e. 1512 - Placchetta in 16° (cm 10 x 14), copertina ricavata da Exultet o Salterio settecentesco, in rosso e nero, cc (8), senza paginazione e con segnatura discontinua, stemma di papa Della Rovere al frontespizio, esemplare in buone condizioni, carta brunita, parzialmente in barbe. Il volumetto contiene il testo, impresso in caratteri gotici, di indizione della Seconda, Terza, Quarta, Quinta Sessione del Concilio Laterano V, inaugurato il 3 maggio 1512, a meno di un anno dalla morte. La bulla della Seconda Sessione reca in calce la data delle calende di giugno, ed è tutta relativa al "pestifero e velenoso contagio", del scismatico Concilio di Pisa: consesso di cardinali e vescovi francesi figlio del Sinodo di Tours del febbraio 1513; che Luigi XII aveva costituito l'anno precedente in contrapposizione a Giulio II, che scacciato da Pisa dopo una rivolta popolare filo pontificia, errante da Milano si è spostato a Vercelli, Lione; il papa ripercorre i decreti composti ed emanati dall'ottavo al nono anno del suo pontificato, contro la "conventicola che deve essere scissa": esortazioni, ammonizioni, proibizioni, fino all'interdetto ecclesiastico e alle sentenze di censura. In opposizione al "Concilio adulterino e deviante dalla Verità", del quale vengono "cassate e annullate" tutte le opere, viene proclamato e indetto il Concilio sacro e approvato dal pontefice; segue un appello ai prelati gallicani che verranno, con promessa di indulgenza per le colpe passate. La Bulla della Terza Sessione è del dicembre dell'anno, saluta l'adesione al Concilio del "caro figlio" Imperatore Massimiliano, e contiene la scomunica e deposizione per alcuni cardinali scismatici, tra cui primeggiano Bernardino Lòpez Carvajal, Vescovo di Cartagena in Spagna; Guillaume Briçonnet vescovo di S. Malo, scomunicato il 24 ottobre 1511; Federico di Sanseverino, Legato del Concilio pisano, "cardinali fautori e aderenti. complici e seguaci", con l'obiettivo di scindere l'unità di S. Madre Chiesa; chiederanno perdono al subentrante papa Medici. La città di Lione e le città che danno asilo al "conciliabolo" degli eretici, vengono scomunicate, tranne il Ducato di Bretagna. La bolla della Quarta Sessione verte intorno a una "prammatica sanzione", disposizione di Luigi XII, a beni ecclesiastici confiscati, il papa afferma la nullità della sanzione predetta e invita a venire al Concilio e ad unirsi alla spedizione contro gli Infedeli, oggetto di altra celebre bolla. Nella Quinta Sessione, gli strali pontificali sono contro la "detestabile simonia" dell'"eresiarca Simon Mago", perniciosa per la Chiesa, la "simoniaca eresia", nel "dare, permettere che venga data, ricevuta pecunia"; condanna dell'acquisto (in titolo o in commenda) delle dignità ecclesiastiche, con elenco. Il testo entra nei particolari di beni feudali ed ecclesiastici, e fisco della Chiesa Romana e secolare. Frequente inoltre la presenza diabolica, esplicitamente citata, in questi documenti. Nessun esemplare di questi documenti in SBN, che cita edizioni in 4° ad opera dell'impressore Silber, ne' in altre biblioteche consultate. "Enciclopedia dei Papi", Treccani 2000.

The exceedingly scarce first edition of the hugely important and beautifylly executed "Itinerarium Antonini" (or in full: Itinerarium provinciarum Antonini Augusti), which is of paramount importance to our knowledge of the topography of the Roman Empire. This first printed edition is carried out by the seminal Parisian Renaissance printer, typographer and author Geofroy Tory (ca. 1480-1533), who was Estienne's most prominent editor.The work constitutes a register of the most important streets of the Roman Empire, and it also provides a register of Roman buildings. The Antoninus of the title is the Emperor Caracalla, and the basis of the work was thus probably formed in the third century; the manuscript form of the work that was handed down was probably written towards the end of the third century. However, the official documents, on which this register of the stations and distances along the various roads of the Roman Empire is probably based, are most likely those of a survey organized by Julius Caesar, and carried out under Augustus. The work was thus probably originally a sort of military document. The "Antonine Itinerary" includes 17 travel routes through the Roman Empire, and to this is included the numerous side streets. The work is paramount to the knowledge we now possess of the topography of the Roman Empire, and it is by far the best preserved written version of a street index. We also have this work to thank for our knowledge of many Roman buildings.Geofroy Tory was of huge importance to the development of printing as well as other important parts of the book in the Renaissance. He had taken drawing and engraving, and he had studied these fields in Italy, -the country which inspired his style so much. He also worked as a bookbinder, and Grolier was an enthusiastic client of his. It is thus very appropriate that our copy of this splendid little book is preserved in its beautiful contemporary binding.He worked with Estienne, and was a hugely successful editor, designer and engraver, who is famous for his beautiful initials, borders, illustrations, and printer's devices (his own, a broken jar, as well as Estienne's olive tree, which he designed). He is considered a true reformer of French orthography and typography, and he became the first royal printer under Francois I, which also bears witness to the seminal role he played in establishing French 16th century printing of superb quality. He introduced a type design that was free of the dependence on Middle Age handwriting, and he was the founder of book designing as an art in France. He is of seminal importance to French orthography, and the written printed French language might [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover]

Antwerp, Henric Eckert van Homberch, 'int huys van Delft' (Eckert's native town), 26 July 1512. - Folio. 17th-century sprinkled calf, spine ribbed and gilt with title lettered in gold. Title printed in red & black with large contemp. handcoloured woodcut showing the creation of Eve out of Adam's rib, 145 woodcuts in text (of which 25 almost full-page), 7 of which are coloured by a contemporary hand. Gothic type, 2 cols., 42 ll. to a page. (8), 321, (1 with colophon on recto) lvs.; collation: A-B4, a-z6, *6, 'con'6, A-Z6, Aa-Ee6, Ff4). Rare complete copy of a richly woodcut illustrated edition of one of the most popular devotional books of the late Middle Ages, a collection of mystic contemplations on the Latin Vita Christi (the life of Christ) by Ludolphus de Saxonia, adapted and translated into Dutch. After five incunable editions (IDL 3017-21, the first being printed by Gerard Leeu in Antwerp, 3 November 1487), our copy belongs to the third sixteenth-century edition in Dutch, enlarged with the gospels and with prayers added at the end of each chapter. The first sixteenth-century Dutch edition was also published by Eckert van Homburg in 1503, partly with the same woodcuts; the second by Adr. van Berghen, also in Antwerp in 1510. Further Dutch editions appeared in 1521: two editions, both in Antwerp, by Eckert van Homberch and Claes de Grave who also printed an edition in 1536. The Flemish editions belong to the most profusely woodcut illustrated Dutch books of the period. The original Latin edition was printed in Strasbourg in 1474. Ludolphus de Saxonia, a famous German mystic, lived in the fourteenth century, and became prior of the Chartreuse at Strassburg, where he died in about 1370. His life of Christ became one of the most popular works of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and was translated into several European languages.Following the liturgical calendar Epistles and Gospels are incorporated as well as dialogues between the asking human being and the answering Scriptures. Most of the chapters end with a meditation. The work became one of the most important sources of inspiration for lay devotion in the Low Countries in the sixteenth century. The present edition by Eckert van Homburgh is lavishly illustrated with over 140 magnificent woodcuts by a great Flemish artist called by Delen "Premier Graveur d'Anvers". The fine woodcuts, 25 almost full-page, are quite different from the earlier, fifteenth century editions, and when Delen recognizes the standing Christ from the 1487 edition by Gerard Leeu, it proves by comparison to be only loosely based on the original, here drawn in a more elegant style, and flanked by two Gothic altars (Delen II, p. 13, cf. Vol. I, plate XXXV, and the present edition on verso of leaf II). On the whole the woodcuts here are less primitive and drawn with greater elegance. A curious large woodcut on verso of leaf V shows Christ as the Lord of the Cosmos with the winds blowing and raining at the outside of a large circle, with winged angels in the outer ring, the stars, sun and moon under their feet, with fishes swimming in the seas in the inner circle, with in the center a picture of the Garden of Eden and God creating Eve from Adam's rib. There is a fine large woodcut of the Annunciation, the apostles fishing in the lake of Galilea with Christ speaking from a boat to the people, the Ascension, etc. There also runs a series of 38 smaller woodcuts through the book, with a format of 6,8 x 9 cm., which according to Delen first appeared in a small life of Christ published by Adrien van Berghen at Antwerp in 1500. As 23 woodcuts of this series were used by Eckert van Homberch in his first Ludolphus-edition from 1503, Delen concludes that the woodblocks really belonged to Homberch (Delen II, pp. 15-16). All woodcuts here are in fine strong impressions. Very good complete copy.- (Top of spine dam., some marginal waterstaining; title-page cut out and mounted (lacking blank margins); restorations to lvs. Ff2-3, tear in q6 and B6 repaired; marginal water staining in last lvs., inner margin of Ff [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Strassburg, Johann Knobloch, 1512. 42, [3] Bl. [A8, B-C4, D8, E-F4, G8, H6]. Durchgehend rubriziert. [Mit 5 Dystichen auf dem Titel]. Mit schwarzgrundiger Schmuckinitiale B im Titel und schwarzgrundiger Holzschnitt-Initiale im Vorwort (Proemium) von Hermannus Torrentinus. Pergamentband des 19. Jhs. (Vorsätze erneuert). Von einer Humanistenhand sehr extensiv annotiertes Exemplar dieser ungemein seltenen Strassburger Ausgabe. Sie stellt den dritten Druck der "Bucolica" des aus Zofingen stammenden, seit 1500 in Strassburg wirkenden, Johannes Knobloch [eigentlich Cist (gest. 1528)] dar. Knoblochs erstem Druck von Vergils Zyklus in zehn hexametrischen Gedichten von 1508, basierend auf der Kölner Bucolica-Ausgabe von 1503, folgte 1510 ein geringfügig korrigierter Neudruck. Der Kommentar des aus Zwolle stammenden Grammatikers Hermannus Torrentinus [Herman van Beek oder van der Beeke (gest. 1520)] war erstmals 1495 gedruckt worden. Ausgerichtet ist Torrentinus' Text auf die Bedürfnisse des poetischen Anfangsunterrichts und gibt entsprechend häufig ganz elementare Erklärungen. In jedem Abschnitt des Kommentar wird zunächst eine kurze Einführung zur vorausgegangenen Textpartie geboten, an die sich die "Constructio" anschliesst, in der zum leichteren Verständnis die poetische Wortfolge in die in Prosa zu erwartende Abfolge gebracht wird. Dabei werden die einzelnen Wörter jeweils mit "id est" glossiert und paraphrasiert. Danach folgen die Worterklärungen. Torrentius' Kommentar wurde noch bis in die Mitte des 16. Jhs. hinein wiederholt abgedruckt. - Teilweise mit schmalem Wasserrand, die Marginalien stellenweise im Aussensteg etwas beschnitten. - VD 16, V-1446; Schmidt 79; Panzer VI, 55, 246; Ritter 2415; Muller 112; The Vergil Collections at Princton, Nr. 527; vgl. B. Schneider, Vergil (Ausstellungskat. HAB Wolfenbüttel 1982), D. 96 (Ausgabe 1510). Nicht in Mambelli und Leoncini. Very interesting copy, studiously and extensively annotated by a contemporary Humanist hand of this very scarce Strasbourg edition. It represents the third print of the "Bucolica" by the Swiss born Strasbourg printer Johann Knobloch (died 1528). After his first print in 1508, which is based on the Cologne edition of 1503, Knobloch reissued a slightly corrected edition of Vergilius' cycle of ten hexametric poems in 1508. The commentary of the Zwolle born Hermannus Torrentinus [Herman van Beek or van der Beeke (died 1520)] had appeared first in 1495. It was written for the use of elementary instruction in poetry in his school at Groningen and Zwolle and offers correlatively often elementary explanations. In every part of the commentary is given a short introduction to the previous section of the poem, followed by the "Constructio" and the explanations of the single words. The commentary of Torrentius, whose eyesight was failing around 1508 was reprinted up to the middle of the 16th century. - With narrow waterstain in parts, few marginalia minimally affected by slightly trimmed outer margin. - 19th century vellum (later endpapers and fly-leaves).

(15), 308, (1 blank) ll. Karlsruher Virt. Kat. (3 copies); Haebler I, p. 475, roll 3 (not seen);cf. Adams S-1512 (1577 Antwerp ed.); NUC (1 copy each of 5 other eds.); OLCL WorldCat (1 copy of 1559 Venice ed.); not in BMC STC German; De Backer & Sommervogel; Gumuchian. Rare second Dillingen edition of Viexmont’s popular Methodus Confessionis , a schoolbook for teaching Latin grammar through confessional and penitential prayers and one of the earliest books printed in Dillingen, here in a contemporary binding with the initials of the binder and owner.First published at Paris c. 1531 under the title Libellus de Institutione Puerorum and intended for students at the Collège de Navarre, the book appeared under the title Methodus Confessionis from its second edition in 1532 and with the present sub-title from at least the Venice edition of 1545. It was perhaps at this date that it was revised by Pedro de Soto (d. 1563, probably the Jesuit of that name, active c. 1548-1558) though earlier editions are sometimes ascribed to him as well. Dozens of editions appeared in France, the Low Countries, Germany and Italy within a half century of the first edition, some of them abridged. The dedicatory epistle of the present edition is dated April 1553 at Dillingen (an der Donau, in Schwaben), where Sebald Mayer set up the town’s first printing office in association with the Catholic University established there in 1552. The 1553 edition of the present work may have been his first book, and his printing office published the only four German editions we have traced. Such schoolbooks were rapidly worn out with use, so that all editions are very rare.The binding is decorated with a single blind-tooled roll (205 x 24 mm) bearing the binder’s initials “BW” and four portraits with attributes and mottos: Jesus, the Apostle Paul, King David and the Apostle John. It is no doubt the roll recorded by Haebler, though it appears to have “APARVIT” with one rather than two Ps (not having seen it, Haebler gives no dimensions and no example, merely citing Husung, Bucheinbände ... Preußischen Staatsbib. , p. 23). It has here been impressed in four parts (two side by side on each cover) each showing slightly more than half the roll and together omitting nothing. Above the rolls on the front cover are the owner’s initials “TG.” The brass catches and catch-plates are also decorated. With an early ownership inscription on the title-page and an early twentieth-century bookplate, both from the Kapuziner Bibliothek in Immenstadt (Schwaben), and with their paper labels on the spine. Other brief inscriptions on the front pastedown and the final blank leaf. The Schwabian printer and provenance suggest that the binder BW and first owner TG may also be Schwabian, but we have not identified them.In very good condition, only slightly trimmed and with a few deckles intact, and with only one or two minor marginal tears, holes, smudges or water stains, not affecting the text. With some words of the title "rubricated" in yellow-green and some underlining in the prelims. In a few sheets the inexperienced printer centred the press points (as in an 8vo, 4to or folio) so that their point-holes appear in the foredge margin of leaves three and four of their eight-leaf gatherings. The binding is rubbed but still good, with the head and foot of the backstrip gone, and with a small lacuna in the leather of the front cover, affecting an ornament (?) between the owner’s initials T and G. The decorated brass clasps have survived very well, with their leather straps and decorated brass catch-plates, lacking one of the two small undecorated strap-plates. A rare Schwabian religious schoolbook, with a Schwabian provenance and a contemporary binding with binder’s and owner’s initials.

In the dedication Heinrich Stromer von Auerbach (1482-1542) refers to Aristotle and Boethius. There is a brief introduction on the use of counters or projectiles, then the work covers addition, subtraction, duplication, mediation, multiplication, division, progression, and the rule of three. The computations are performed ‘on the line’ i.e. by the ‘projectiles’ on a line abacus or algorithmus linealis.The text resembles several of the rare works on algorithms appearing at this time, in particular the earliest treatise on the subject Algorithmus linealis which was first printed in Leipzig around 1488 probably by Martin Landsberg, (printer in Leipzig until 1522); as well as the German Rechenmeister Balthasar Licht Algorithmus linealis Leipzig, Lotter c.1500, and Karl von Landshut Algorismus linealis Cracow 1513.

[colophon:] Strassburg, Matthias Schurer, May 1512 Folio (260 x 197 mm), ff [6] 60, title printed in red and black with elaborate woodcut border by Urs Graf; title cropped at upper and lower margins, discreetly guarded, a very nice copy in a recent binding utilising an antiphonal leaf. £4750 First edition, rare, a work important for Nemesius' doctrine of ventricle localisation of mental functions. This work 'is essentially concerned with the reconciliation of Platonic doctrines on the soul with Christian philosophy and also, importantly, with the interpretation of Greek scientific knowledge of the human body from the standpoint of Christian doctrine. For a time the work was attributed to Gregory of Nyassa [as in the above title]; and it was not until the seventh century that there was any ascription of it to Nemesius, of whom almost nothing is known except for such self-revelations as are to be found in his text. From these it is apparent that he was well-read in the writings of Galen and may even have had some medical training. 'Although Nemesius' book contains many passages dealing with Galenic anatomy and physiology, the most important contribution of the work was to establish the idea that the mental faculties were localized in the ventricles of the brain, a belief that was generally accepted and retained as late as the sixteenth century... 'According to Nemesius' doctrine, all sensory perceptions were received in the anterior - now called lateral - ventricles of the brain. Later this area came to be designated the "sensus communis", that is, the region where all sensory perceptions were held in common by a force known as the faculty of imagination. The middle or, as it is now called, third ventricle was the region of the faculty of intellect, which controlled the "judging, approving, refuting, and assaying" of the sensory perceptions gathered in the lateral ventricles. The third faculty was that of memory, the storehouse of sensory perceptions after they had been judged by the faculty of the intellect. Memory was located by Nemesius in the cerebellum but, according to succeeding interpretations, in the fourth ventricle... The faculties operated through the agency of the animal spirit, the very refined spirit which, according to Galen, was produced from vital spirit after it had been carried through the suppostitious network of arteries, called the rete mirabile, at the base of the brain. Nemesius was convinced of the correctness of his doctrine of the ventricular localization of the mental faculties, since in his opinion injury to those areas of the brain caused the loss of the faculties' (DSB). The theory was later attacked by Berengario da Carpi, and then by Vesalius and Varolio in 1543 and 1573 respectively. This translation was made by John Cono of Nuremberg. The Greek text was published by the Plantin Press in Antwerp in 1565. Ritter 1037; Garrison and Morton 571; Norman 1581 (this copy); NUC: MH ICN MnU CtY-D DNLM

La terza parte (“Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi”) è qui in edizione originale ed è pregevolmente illustrata da due grandi scene della crocifissione (la prima animatissima, la seconda solo con la Vergine e S. Giovanni) e 20 piccole vignette nel testo. “Guillermus Arvensis, detto anche Parisiensis perché fu dal 1228 vescovo di Parigi, ove morì nel 1249; scolastico, ma antiaristotelico, caldeggiò le dottrine platonizzanti degli Arabi. Le sue opere furono messe a stampa a Norimberga nel 1496 e, più correttamente, ad Orléans nel 1674” (Camerini I, n. 97, p. 126; ulteriori notizie bio-bibliografiche in Enciclopedia Cattolica VI, col. 1252-3). Pregevole testo di esegesi dottrinaria medievale e bel figurato d’inizio XVI secolo. Raro figurato del primo cinquecento. Esempl. con firma di possesso coeva sul tit. (con timbri di biblioteche estinte all’inizio ed in fine, lavori di tarlo per lo più marginali). Manca al BMC e all'Adams. Camerini 154. Sander II, 3339. Essling 196.

[Rom, Marcello Silber, 1512]. 4 unnum. Bll. (d. l. w.). Geheftet. 4to. Sendschrift des französischen Königs Ludwig XI. an Papst Pius II. vom 27. November 1461, hier neu aufgelegt im Rahmen der 5. Lateransynode, die Papst Julius II. 1512 gegen das antipäpstliche Konzil von Pisa einberief. Das Laterankonzil verwarf unter anderem die 1438 unterzeichnete Pragmatische Sanktion von Bourges, die auf eine französische Nationalkirche abgezielt hatte. Trotz Ludwigs hier vorliegender Versicherung, er habe die Pragmatische Sanktion "im ganzen Reich und in der Dauphiné" abrogiert, blieb sie dem Geiste nach in Kraft; 1463 und 1464 erließ er "eine Reihe von Ordonanzen 'zur Abwehr der röm. Übergriffe u. Herstellung der alten gallikan. Freiheiten'. 1567 hob er sie abermals auf, fuhr aber fort, ganz im Sinne der Pragmatischen Sanktion zu handeln" (LThK VIII, 425). Nachdem die Bischofsversammlung zu Rom 1510 auf Wunsch Ludwigs XII. erklärte, man habe sich an die Pragmatische Sanktion zu halten, verwarf das 5. Laterankonzil dieselbe endgültig; 1516 wurde sie von Franz I. durch das Konkordat ersetzt. Der vorliegende, vom Vatikan veranstaltete Druck von Ludwigs Abrogationsschrift sollte wohl die französische Kirche an gegebene Zusagen erinnern und die Grundlage für eine Lösung des Streits im Sinne Roms bereiten. - Am Schluß mit Kollationsbestätigung von Johannes Gerones, Notar der Apostolischen Kammer; darunter Nachdruckverbot von Balthasar Tuerdus. - Kl. Braunfleck am Titel. Fast unmerkliche Spuren früherer Faltung; letztes Bl. v. a. verso etwas gebräunt bzw. braun- und fingerfleckig. Adams L 670. Edit 15, CNCE 31026. Nicht bei BM-STC Italian.
