| Maistre Chevalet: La vie de sainct Christofle
|
DROZ - Ecrite à Grenoble vers 1516, représentée en 1527 et publiée en 1530, la Vie de sainct Christofle est un des rares mystères originaux du XVIe siècle. Son auteur, Maistre Chevalet, s'était déjà distingué par sa collaboration au Mystère des Trois Doms. La Vie de sainct Christofle lui permet de donner la mesure de son talent par une construction dramatique élaborée, ainsi que par l'établissement des dialogues savoureux qu'entretiennent de nombreux personnages populaires ("tyrans", paysans, fou et folle, messagers, aveugle et valet, bourreaux, mère maquerelle et prostituées, taverniers, etc.) et par l'écriture de scènes pour le moins spectaculaires (bataille, passage de la rivière, martyres remarquables). On y retrouve tout l'univers de la poésie dramatique hagiographique, mais traité avec un art inhabituel du théâtre et du récit. La Vie de sainct Christofle est une pièce essentielle dans l'histoire du genre des mystères, mais aussi pour celle de la langue: le goût de Maître Chevalet pour les proverbes et les expressions pittoresques, dont il procure souvent la première attestation, offre aux lexicologues une matière de choix et aux lecteurs un plaisir qu'ils ne bouderont pas. 1104p (Droz 2006). 9782600010184. Paperback [Attributes: Soft Cover]

In the manner of Erasmus' Adagia Venice, Aldus & Andrea Soceri (= Aldus Manutius & his son-in-law Andreas Torresano de Asula), February 1516. Folio. 18th-century vellum, boards covered with 18th-century decorative paper, gilt title on spine. Title printed in red with Aldine printer's device also in red, repeated in black on verso of last leaf. (80), 862 (6) pp.(Collation: AA-CC8, DD4, EE8, FF4, a-z8, &8, ?8, R8, aa-zz8, 2&8, 2?8, 2R8, A8, B10). Editio princeps of this enormous work by Ludovicus Caelius Rhodiginus (1469-1525). The second edition was published in 1517 by J. Froben in Basel with the title Lectionum antiquarum libri XVII. Working on a definite enlarged version, Rhodiginus died in 1525. This enlarged edition, edited by his nephew Camillo Richieri and by G.M. Goretti, did not appear before 1642 in Basel with H. Froben and N. Episcopius, with the title Lectionum antiquarum libri XXX, followed by many 16th- and 17th-century editions.Rhodiginus dedicated his work (on fols. AA2r-v) to the famous bibliophile Jean Grolier (1479-1565), then treasurer of Milan. The other fifteen books he dedicated to other persons. This encyclopeadic work is virtually a collection of notes on the classics and on general topics such as the human body, dance, music, poetry, art, sleep, rhetorics, the universe, etc. in sixteen books, more or less in the manner of the famous Adagia published by Erasmus.Erasmus himself first complained that Ricchieri had borrowed from the Adagia without acknowledgment. As the years passed, however, Erasmus grew less hostile towards Ricchieri and indeed valued his work. In the Ciceronianus Erasmus echoed Calcagnini's comment that Ricchieri was a good and Christian man.Ludovicus Caelius Rhodiginus was born in Rovigo as Lodovico Celio Ricchieri, and studied philosophy at Ferrara and Padua. He was professor of Greek and Latin at Rovigo from 1491 till1499. In 1508 he held the chair of eloquence at Ferrara. After a trip to France, Francis I appointed him to the chair of Greek at Milan. His pupil Julius Caesar Scaliger described him as the Varro of his age. Fine copy.- (Old ownership's entry on title erased, some lvs. browned). Renouard p. 79, no.11; Ahmanson-Murphy II, 123; Adams R-450; Brunet IV, col. 1269; STC Italian p.555; Contemporaries of Erasmus 3, p. 155.

- Badius' fine printing press device on title-page (82 x 65mm.), large criblé initials throughout (c. 45 x 40mm.). Sm. 8vo. [4], CCCXII ff. Early 19th century calf-backed marbled boards, m.e. (boards rubbed). 1516. First edition of the early Christian writer St. Paulinus' letters and poems, mostly written while he was at Nola between 395 and 408. Thirty seven letters (of the fifty one extant) are found here addressed to Sulpicius Severus (14), Bishops Delphinus (5) and Amandus (6) of Bordeaux, Victricius of Rouen (2), Aper (3), one each addressed to Florentius of Cahors, Alethius, Desiderius, Macarius, Pammachius, Jovius and included also is his single extant sermon "On the alms table". The poems, which place him in the forefront of Christian Latin poets, are to Ausonius, Cytherius, Nicetas, a paraphrase of Psalm 136, 10 poems of the Natalicia (a series of poems that annually commemorated St. Felix on 14 January) another verse by Paulinus, and verses addressed to him by Ausonius. Paulinus of Nola (c. 352-431) was born at Bordeaux Pontius Meropius Anicius Paulinus and was educated by the poet Ausonius. He became governor of the Province of Campania but married a Spanish Christian, to whom, along with Bishop Delphinus and St. Martin of Tours he owed his conversion. Paulinus and his wife Theresia moved to Spain c. 390 and there they gradually retreated into an ascetic way of life and a rejection of the world. Although ordained in Barcelona in 394 a year later Paulinus and his wife returned to Nola, a small Campanian town near Naples. Here he promoted the cult of St. Felix and began an intensive building programme around the tomb including a large and richly decorated basilica, and a hospital with monastic quarters above (one of the first monastic centres in the West). Long descriptions of the Basilica at Nola and the one he also built at Fundi are given in letter no. 12 (letter 32 in modern editions) to Sulpicius Severus, probably written c. 404. "The Basilica at Nola counted five naves and had on each side four additions or chapels (cubicula), and an apsis arranged in a clover shape. This was connected with the old mortuary chapel of St. Felix by a gallery. the side was richly decorated with marble, silver lamps and lustres, paintings, statuary, and inscriptions. In the apsis was a mosaic which represented the Blessed Trinity, and of which in 1512 some remnants were still found" (Catholic Encyclopaedia). Paulinus was chosen as Bishop of Nola in 409 and kept up a large correspondence with the leading bishops, ascetics and intellectuals of the time. Provenance. 17th/18th century inscriptions on title-page. Renouard III, pp. 119/120. BMSTC (French), p. 342. Adams P479. Moreau 1451.

En un volume in-8, vélin souple de l'époque à recouvrements. Satire sanglante du fameux humaniste Ulrich de Hutten, contre Ortwinus Gratius, qui avait attaqué son ami Reuchlin en l'accusant de judaïsme. Ce célèbre pamphlet dirigé contre le clergé de l'Eglise catholique fit grand bruit lors de sa première parution, en 1516. En effet, les successeurs de Saint Pierre y sont tout simplement traités de tyrans, de voleurs et de brigands. Rome prit le parti de Gratius et Léon X condamna l'ouvrage par une bulle, ce qui assura le succès du livre en Allemagne. Ces " sanglantes et immortelles satires " obligèrent Hutten à s'expatrier. D'une vue plus vaste que Luther, Hutten s'attaqua avec passion à la tyrannie politique et aux abus sociaux. P. Larousse le proclame le plus grand, le plus vrai, le plus énergique restaurateur de la liberté moderne. " ... première escarmouche des poètes séculiers contre les " sorbonagres ", de la Renaissance contre le Moyen-Age, de l'esprit moderne contre la vieille routine et les dogmes surannés " (Laurent Tailhade, qui devait traduire ces Lettres en 1924). Les 2 satires de Hartlieb et Oleario se trouvent souvent à la suite des Epistolarum obscurorum.Papier roussi, avec un cerne angulaire. Galeries de vers marginales.

Text in Latin.Justinian I, called The Great, Byzantine emperor (527-65), who extended Byzantine rule in the West, beautified Constantinople (present-day İstanbul), and completed the codification of Roman law. His full name was Flavius Petrus Sabgatius Justinianus. The Justinian code was the legal code of ancient Rome; codified under Justinian and was the basis for many modern systems of civil law. The centralized empire envisaged by Justinian required a uniform legal system. Therefore an imperial commission headed by the renowned jurist Trebonianus worked for ten years to collect and systematize existing Roman law. Their work was incorporated into the enormous Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law), also called the Justinian Code, promulgated in 534 and kept up to date by the addition of new decrees, or Novellae. This formidable legislative codification still remains the basis for the law of most European countries. Simultaneously with this legal reform, attempts were made to rectify administrative abuses., Size : 4to, Title in red and black, printers device containing two unicorns supporting a shield against a tree.

He was forced to leave Italy in 1551 because of his Protestant views and taught in Strasbourg and at the University of Heidelberg at the request of the Calvinist Prince Frederick III. He wrote many works during his life, but also left several unfinished or unpublished at his death. These were collected by his heirs and published in the present Operum Theologicorum. The style of layout and typography closely follows the great sixteenth-century French printers, with French roman and italic types, and light, intricate woodcut decorations and initials. A second edition appeared at Heidelberg in 1613 and a third at Geneva in 1617-1619. The content of the volumes is: I. De Tribus Elohim (1572); II. De Natura Dei (1577); III. De Operibus Dei (1591); IV. De Primi Hominis Lapsu (1597); V. Commentarium in Hoseam Prophetam (1600); VI. In D. Pauli Epistolam ad Ephisios commentarius (1594) and In D. Pauli epistolas ad Phuilipenses (1595); VII Miscellaneorum Libri Tres (1582); VIII. [several smaller works]. The most notable work included in volume eight is De Religione Christiana Fides (1585), translated into English in 1599 as Confessions of the Christian Religion and still in use today. This was Zanchius's last major work and is especially valuable because he used it to present his entire theological system.With a contemporary manuscript note in Dutch on one endleaf giving the price of all four volumes bound. Further with the Rochester Theological Seminary bookplates and library stamps in each volume. In very good condition, with some minor marginal water stains. The bindings are slightly soiled but generally very good. The collected works of an important Reformed theologian, in eight volumes.

Octavio Salado & Francisco Ugoleto for Anton Quintian, Parma 1516 - BEST EDITION of this famous work on the domestic economy of the ideal ancient Roman and Italian Renaissance home, with a virtual tour, itself a tour de force of imaginative writing -- including building, furnishing and household management -- here with the first appearance of Gripaldi's very rich "De Verborum Explicatione," a dictionary of architecture and related terms which more than doubled the size of the book. This work subsumed all previous in its encyclopaedic coverage, and is justly considered to be THE FIRST ARCHITECTURAL DICTIONARY, and the earliest vocabulary of domestic economy. Fourth Parma Edition (the First with the Vocabulary) Quarto (20 x 16.5 cm). [20], 265 ff. plus final blank leaf. with a large woodcut portrait of the author on title-page, small woodcut printer's device on final leaf (a Sun). Bound in near-contemporary vellum (17th-century?), spine lettered in MS, shelf-mark at foot of spine, evidence of two pair of ties AN EXCELLENT COPY in original unsophisticated condition. "De Partibus Aedium" (On the Parts of the House) presents, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of the mechanisms of the Renaissance household. For a picture of what the Renaissance knew about the daily habits of the ancients, no better source could be consulted. The book served as a reference work for many wealthy Italians who sought to model their villas on the ancient estates (i.a. Daniello Barbaro's estate at Maser). For the reason, the provenance is especially interesting, with the signature of the RENAISSANCE ARCHITECT Francesco Bonamici. As well, Venice, S. Maria di Nazareth (O. Carm.

[colophon:] Almeirim, Herman de Campos, 1516. - Full-page woodcut of St. Benedict within woodcut border, xylographic title, 2 woodcut emblems of the Order of Aviz, woodcut initials (2 historiated). Gothic letter (Campos 1:105G and 4:122G), 2 columns. (5), LIII [i.e. LXIII], (5) ll. Appears to lack preliminary blank, presumably cancelled, as in all recorded copies. Folio, late-nineteenth- or early-twentieth-century blue morocco, covers with triple-fillet gilt edge and panel and elaborate filigree ornament, spine heavily gilt, pastedowns burgundy morocco with gilt panels and filigree ornament, facing flyleaves blue moiré, all edges gilt. Very minor wear to corners. In a recent navy morocco slipcase with moiré sides. Washed and expertly re–sized; nevertheless, an exceptionally fine copy. FIRST EDITION of the Rule for the crusading Order of Aviz (the equivalent of the Order of Calatrava in Spain), and one of the earliest and most important books in the Portuguese language. This is the first book printed in Almeirim, probably produced at a time when the Court was in residence there. Only 2 sixteenth-century books were printed in Almeirim. The Order of Aviz was the first of the military orders founded by the kings of Portugal, possibly established as early as 1162. It played a vital part in the foundation of the Portuguese nation and in the struggle against the Moors. While the Orders of Christ and S. Thiago also fought for the independence of Portugal at the end of the fourteenth and beginning of the fifteenth centuries, the Order of Aviz took the lead. It was Dom João I, Master of Aviz, who vanquished the Castilians at Aljubarrota and founded the dynasty that reigned in Portugal under the name of Aviz for nearly two centuries. Herman de Campos is recorded as a printer in Portugal between 1509 and 1518. Only 12 works are known from his press—one at Setúbal and 10 at Lisbon, as well as this lone production at Almeirim. The only source of information on him is his colophons, from which it appears that he came from Germany, possibly Kempen, in the Rhineland: his earliest work is signed "Herman de Kempis alemão." He may also have been the first officially appointed Portuguese royal printer. (See Norton pp. 499-500.) Of the 7 other copies known of this work (several in poor states of preservation), only one is in North America: the Palha copy, at Harvard. Other locations are: British Library; Biblioteca Nacional, Rio de Janeiro; Biblioteca Pública e Arquivo Distrital de Ponta Delgada; Palace Library, Vila Viçosa (King Manuel's copy); Municipal Library, Évora; and Biblioteca Nacional, Lisbon. This last, in very poor condition, was apparently the only copy to appear at auction in Portugal in this century; it was in the Azevedo–Samodães sale (item 2658), purchased by Vítor Ávila Perez (item 6269 in his sale).

The book is divided into 4 parts. Text in Latin.Justinian I, called The Great, Byzantine emperor (527-65), who extended Byzantine rule in the West, beautified Constantinople (present-day Ä°stanbul), and completed the codification of Roman law. His full name was Flavius Petrus Sabgatius Justinianus. The Justinian code was the legal code of ancient Rome; codified under Justinian and was the basis for many modern systems of civil law. The centralized empire envisaged by Justinian required a uniform legal system. Therefore an imperial commission headed by the renowned jurist Trebonianus worked for ten years to collect and systematize existing Roman law. Their work was incorporated into the enormous Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law), also called the Justinian Code, promulgated in 534 and kept up to date by the addition of new decrees, or Novellae. This formidable legislative codification still remains the basis for the law of most European countries. Simultaneously with this legal reform, attempts were made to rectify administrative abuses., Size : 4to, Title in red and black, printers device containing two unicorns supporting a shield against a tree. Elaborate head and tail pieces, two very fine engravings, â??Justinian in councilâ?? with some early hand colouring; A full page woodcut of the â??Arbor Civilusâ?? on leaf 84 in red and black.

Une légère déchirure sur 0,5cm en coiffe de queue , un accroc avec manque sur 0,5cm de diamètre au caisson inférieur.

(Straßburg, Johann Grüninger, 1516). - Fol. Mit Holzschn.-Titelbordüre von Hans Wechtlin u. 10 halbseitigen Holzschnitten zum ersten Teil sowie einem Titelholzschnitt zum zweiten Teil von Hans Baldung Grien. 60 (recte 58) num. Bll.; num. Bll. 61-108 (recte 105). Mod. HPgmt. Erste illustrierte Ausgabe. - Der Liederdichter Marquard von Lindau (gest. 1392 in Konstanz) stammte vermutlich aus Lindau am Bodensee und trat dort in den Orden der Franziskaner ein. 1373 war er Lesemeister am Studium generale der oberdeutschen Franziskanerprovinz in Straßburg, danach wirkte er in Straßburg, Lindau, Würzburg und Konstanz. 1377-83 war Marquard mehrmals Kustos der Bodensee-Kustodie und von 1389 bis zu seinem Tod Ordensprovinzial der oberdeutschen Provinz. Er zählte zum Kreis der "Gottesfreunde", schätzte Johannes Tauler und kannte die Werke der deutschen Mystik. Seine zahlreichen Schriften sind in einem Werkverzeichnis des 15. Jhds. erfaßt. Während Marquards lateinische Werke vor allem innerhalb des Ordens Verbreitung fanden, gehörten seine deutschen Werke zu den erfolgreichsten und populärsten katechetischen Schriften des späten Mittelalters. - An die vorliegende Dekalogerklärung (entstanden um 1373) schliesst sich ein Werk des asketischen Schriftstellers und Dominikaners Marcus von Weida an, der in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts lebte, frühzeitig in den Orden in Leipzig eintrat und dort als Prediger und Lektor der Theologie wirkte. Unter seinen nach Inhalt und Form vorzüglichen Schriften fand sowohl die vorliegende Auslegung des Vaterunsers als auch der Rosenkranz Mariae noch zu Lebzeiten des Autors Drucklegung. - Die 10 signierten Holzschnitte von Hans Baldung Grien gehören zu den bedeutendsten xylographischen Erzeugnissen dieses hervorragendsten Vertreters der Straßburger Holzschnittschule: „Ob Baldung die früheren Illustrationen zu den 10 Geboten kannte, wie sie sich in dem 1478 bei Sorg erschienenen Seelentrost und in dem 1509 von Knobloch gedruckten Spiegel christlicher Wallfahrt vorfinden, ist unsicher. Jedenfalls hat er seine geistreichen Blätter ganz selbständig entworfen" (Muther). Das meist fehlende angehängte Werk von Marcus von Weida ist Muther unbekannt geblieben. Die ausserordentlich fein geschnittene Titelbordüre zum ersten Werk, die Muther ebenfalls nicht beschreibt, ist mit dem Monogramm „E. F. G. W." sowie „V. A." signiert und rührt von Hans Wechtlin, dem berühmten Formschneider der alten elsässischen Schule, her. Nagler (Mon. 11, No. 1581) beschreibt sie ausführlich, kennt jedoch ihre Verwendung in vorliegendem Werk nicht. Der Titelholzschnitt zum zweiten Teil ist eine Kopie nach dem in Sebastian Brants „Carmina" verwendeten Titelbild vom Jahre 1498 (vgl. Schreiber 3544). Er stellt einen in einer Landschaft knieenden Mann dar, links von ihm ein Wappenschild, über ihm eine Banderole mit den Buchstaben „ODM DTVMM", in der linken oberen Ecke Gott Vater. - Alter Besitzeintrag am ersten u. späterer handschriftl. Eintrag a. beiden Titelblättern. Weiterer getilgter Besitzvermerk am ersten Titel, dadurch min. Papierdurchbruch. Der zweite Titel mit kl. Loch im unteren Blattrand.

GESNER, Conrad.
|
| Libellus de lacte, et operibus lactariis. Zurich: Christopher Froschauer, [1541].
|
Small 8vo. 51 ll. Contemporary vellum, recased, japp edges. The FIRST EDITION of the first monograph on milk, written by Switzerland's famous natural historian, Conrad Gesner (1516-1565). Known as the "modern Pliny," Gesner discusses milk's various qualities (both gastronomic and medicinal), milk from the Alps, and the different products to be made from milk. References are made to the work of Galen and Pliny and to contemporary sources such as Jakob Bifron and his work on cheese from the Alps. Also included is a letter from Gesner to Jacob Avenius describing the beauty of the Alps. Conrad Gesner was born in Zurich, studied theology under the Protestant reformer Ulrich Zwingli, Hebrew at the Strasbourg Academy, medicine at Bourges, Paris, and Basel, and then botany in Montpellier. In addition to notable works in philology, zoology, and botany, he is considered to be the founder of bibliography, the founder of veterinary science, and to be the first naturalist to have sketched fossils. His interest in classifying the natural world took him on many excursions high into the Swiss Alps. A good copy of a work extremely rare in the market. ¶ Maggs 64a; OCLC: New York Academy of Medicine, University of California (San Francisco), Yale, National Library of Medicine, Bowdoin College, Univeristy of Minnesota, College Physicians of Philadelphia, Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, McGill University (Montreal), and three in Europe.

He was forced to leave Italy in 1551 because of his Protestant views and taught in Strasbourg and at the University of Heidelberg at the request of the Calvinist Prince Frederick III. He wrote many works during his life, but also left several unfinished or unpublished at his death. These were collected by his heirs and published in the present Operum Theologicorum. The style of layout and typography closely follows the great sixteenth-century French printers, with French roman and italic types, and light, intricate woodcut decorations and initials. A second edition appeared at Heidelberg in 1613 and a third at Geneva in 1617-1619. The content of the volumes is: I. De Tribus Elohim (1572); II. De Natura Dei (1577); III. De Operibus Dei (1591); IV. De Primi Hominis Lapsu (1597); V. Commentarium in Hoseam Prophetam (1600); VI. In D. Pauli Epistolam ad Ephisios commentarius (1594) and In D. Pauli epistolas ad Phuilipenses (1595); VII Miscellaneorum Libri Tres (1582); VIII. [several smaller works]. The most notable work included in volume eight is De Religione Christiana Fides (1585), translated into English in 1599 as Confessions of the Christian Religion and still in use today. This was Zanchius's last major work and is especially valuable because he used it to present his entire theological system.With a contemporary manuscript note in Dutch on one endleaf giving the price of all four volumes bound. Further with the Rochester Theological Seminary bookplates and library stamps in each volume. In very good condition, with some minor marginal water stains. The bindings are slightly soiled but generally very good. The collected works of an important Reformed theologian, in eight volumes.

The most complete edition of a classic "book of secrets," a collection of recipes for medicines and wine-making, primarily devoted to the distillation of essences from plants, fruits, minerals, etc., the first edition to include both volumes and Wolf's twenty-page appendix. It discusses the materials from which essences were to be distilled and their uses, as well as the techniques involved, and describes and illustrates (in the 87 woodcuts) the remarkably wide variety of glassware, furnaces and other equipment used for distillation.Conrad Gesner (1516-1565), a Zurich scholar of remarkable breadth who wrote on bibliography, botany, zoology, medicine and pharmacology, published the first volume of his De Remediis Secretis in 1552 under the pseudonym Euonymus Philiatrus. It quickly went through many editions and was translated into French, German, Italian and English by 1559. The second part appeared posthumously, edited by Gesner's student Caspar Wolf (1532-1601), and Froschauer, who printed its first edition, reprinted the first part at the same time with a matching format and typography. The two are often found bound together. The dedication to part two is dated August 1569. Before the end of the year, however, Wolf added an appendix containing three items, and reprinted at least the first and the last few gatherings. The first is a ten-page "Responsio" to the French Physician Antoine Valet's charges, published in 1567, that Wolf's 1565 edition of Viaticum Novum deliberately concealed Jacques Houllier's authorship. The second is Wolf's seven-page "Epistola in Viat | |
