8vo. Re-cased in a 17th-century binding (overlapping vellum), title in ink on spine. Title in red & black with red woodcut rebus of the author's name: a rose followed by 'mondt' = Rosemondt; woodcut initials. 251 (5) ff. [Collation: (A)8 B-2K8]. Rare early edition of this interesting Latin work on confession by the highly respected Louvain (moderate) inquisitor and professor of theology Godschalk Rosemont. The first edition was published in May 1518, followed by an edition of March 1519 (for H.E. van Homberch), this edition, and an edition in 1525, all published by Van Hoochstraten.Godschalc Rosemondt (1483-1526) of Eindhoven was a distinguished alumnus of Louvain where he was appointed extraordinary professor of theology in 1515 and ordinary professor in 1520. For the half-year August 1520-February 1521 he was rector of the university and it was at this time that he was in communication with Erasmus (cf. Allen Ep. 1153, 1164 & 1172), who called him in one letter: "Vir melior quam pro vulgari sorte theologorum". Rosemondt was less dogmatic than most inquisitors and his writings have been compared with those of Erasmus. He was also known as an eloquent vicar and friend of the Dutch Pope Adrian VI. Between 1516 and 1519 he composed many devotional works, all but the Confessionale in Dutch. The Confessionale is partially a translation of the Boecxken van der Biechten but is far more detailed and lengthy. It shares some of its content as well as its amiable tone with the Boecxken, published one year earlier. The content reflects the fact that it is intended for a better-educated reader. It is the first book in which the Summa of Thomas Aquinas is used for resolving conflicts of conscience. For his audacious statements in chapter XX, 'De excommunicatione' Rosemondt was rebuked by Pope Benedict XIV, who considered the book to be in discord with the views of the church. Although Rosemondt based his arguments on old concepts of Catholic clerical law, he expanded these principles to a much greater extent than the church was prepared to accept. The conrector of the Latin School at Antwerp, Levinus Linius (+1533) contributed a laudatory poem, printed on the verso of the title. Tentler considers the Confessionale as 'A work of learning and pastoral wisdom'.

Mensis Decembri 1519. - in-12 (13 x 8 cm. = 5'12 x 3'15 inches), 7 ff. - 215 numbered leaves - 20 ff., a8 - A-Z8, AA-DD8, aa-bb8, ninenty century brown calf (restorations on spine-ends,corners and joints), spine raised on 3 bands underlined by twisted fillets, gilt lettered black morocco label.One of the two editions appeared in Toscolano (1519 and 1532) and the first to use a smaller format. It is in 1501 that Alde Manuce published for the first time this Latin grammar, which will keep a great notoriety throughout the sixteenth century. Aldus did, however, have remarkably progressive pedagogical ideas. For exemple in the preface of his 1523 edition, he admonishes teachers, ' Do not force children to memorize anything except the best authors,.not your own composition in prose and verse or those in the grammar book. They will unlearn in a few days took great effort to learn.Children will become desperate, run away from school, and hate such studies'. Our edition include : the foreword printed in red and black, the four parts of the Latin gramma. The first part is ornamented by a large engraved ornemental letter, the Appendix formed and the volume finishes, as it should be, by the four leaves of 'Introductio Perbrevis AD Hebraicam linguam'. Stains on the title page with little holes and ancient owner inscriptions with brown ink over. Light waterstains in the tail margins of 150 leaves but without gravity. Cfr. also Kristian Jensen, Latin The Grammar of Aldus Manutius and its Fortuna in Aldus Manutius and rebirth culture, pp. 247 to 285. A.

Alde Manuce imprime en 1501 pour la première fois cette grammaire latine, qui gardera une grande notoriété tout au long du seizième siècle. Notre édition est précédée de la préface imprimée en rouge et noir, des quatre parties de la grammaire latine dont la première partie est ornementée d'une grande lettrine gravée, de l'Appendix formé par les cahiers aa et bb. Le volume se termine, comme il se doit, par les quatre feuillets de l'Introductio Perbrevis ad Hebraicam linguam. Page de titre tachée et trouée avec caviardage des signes d'appartenance. Auréole dans la marge de queue de 150 feuillets mais sans gravité. 'L'interesse di Aldo per le opere grammaticali antiche e contemporanee, e per il materiale linguistico di base, evidenziando il prevalente interesse verso il greco, traduce il suo impegno di fornire strumenti utili allo studio delle lingue antiche ; le opere letterarie sono spesso accompagnate da introduzione alla lingua e allo stile greco, alla metrica e all'ortografia latina, interessi esplicitati dalle lettere di dedica che si sivolgono a maestri di greco cinsegnarti suoi contemporanei, studiosi adulescentulis' (Aldo Manuzio tipografo 1494-1515, Firenze 131).

Fascinating map, which was used to illustrate the travels of Diego Lopez De Sequeira of Portugal, to illustrate the Portugese travels in the region in search of Prester John between 1519 and 1520. In the early 18th Century, Vander Aa reproduced a number of rare manuscript and printed accounts of 16th Century Travel to America and included marvelous decorative maps, which were typically based upon contemporary cartographic information. Many of the earliest voyages of exploration which are impossibly rare to find in the original editions can be found in Vander Aa's works, which are now becoming increasing rare. This example is in an attractive full wash color. (Leiden, 1706) [color: Hand Colored, size: 9 x 7 inches, condition: VG+]

- (40), 544, 54, (2 blank) pp. Willems 741 note; OCLC WorldCat (7 copies); STCN (3 copies); cf. Rahir 745-746 (other issues).Important "magnifique édition" (Willems) of Calvin's seminal Latin Institution of Christian Religion. with a biographical sketch and other additions by Théodore de Bèze (1519-1605). First published in 1536, and extensively revised by Calvin (1509-1564) for the 1559 edition, this introductory textbook on the Protestant faith sets out Calvin's concept of Protestant theology systematically and attacks Roman Catholicism as unorthodox. It therefor forms an essential primary text for Calvin's ideas. It is divided into four "books": 1. Of the knowledge of God the creator; 2. Of the knowledge of God the redeemer in Christ; 3. The mode of obtaining the grace of Christ; 4. Of the holy Catholic church. After Calvin's death, Bèze added the biographical sketch (including the text of Calvin's last will and testament), a list of his publications and other material. The present edition includes Calvin's original 1536 note to the reader and his 1559 dedication to the new King François II of France. It appeared in six simultaneous issues published by Franciscus Hackius, Franciscus Moyaerd, Pieter Leffen, Adriaen Wijngaerden, David Lopez de Haro and Johannes and Daniel Elzevier. Four of the six differ only in their imprints, while the Elzevier and Lopez de Haro issues have two-leaf and four-leaf additions respectively, the former being an additional dedication. The imprint of the Elzevier issue adds "Acad. typogr." while the others say only "ex officina," Rahir notes the headpiece and tailpiece as Leiden Elzevier material (nos. 41 & 62), and Willems and Rahir attribute the printing to them, but the initials have not been noted as Elzevier material. It appears to be the first Elzevier publication to use Christoffel van Dijck's largest italic (Kanon, measuring about 183 mm/20 lines or about 26 point) used for 6 words on the title-page, and perhaps their first use of any Van Dijck type.With a 1930 inscription by Howard R. Chapman, a Baptist minister active in Rochester from 1897, and a bookplate and stamp of Crozer Theological Seminary. With an occasional pencilled annotation. In very good condition and with generous margins, with a few small marginal water stains. Most of the gold in the tooling of the binding has rubbed off, and there are some small tears and cracks in the vellum. Calvin's seminal work of systematic theology printed by the Elzeviers.

Dürer, Albrecht (1471-1528)
|
| Emperor Maximilian I
|
Albrecht Durer, Germany 1519 - AN EXTREMELY RARE WOODCUT PORTRAIT OF EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN I BY LEGENDARY GERMAN GRAPHIC ARTIST ALBRECHT DURER Woodcut Literature: Bartrum, Albrecht Dürer, 303-304; Bartsch, Le peintre graveur; 154; Bodnár, Dürer and his Contemporaries, 5,9; Hollstein, German Engravings, 205-206; Meder, Dürer-Katalog, 255 iv/iv. This commanding and extraordinarily rare woodcut portrait of Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519), in absolutely superb condition, was executed by famed graphic artist and painter, Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528), around the time of the legendary German ruler's death in 1519. On June 28, 1518, Dürer, according to his own accounts, met the emperor "in a little room high up in the castle" while the pair was attending the Diet of Augsburg. During this encounter, the artist proceeded to create a splendid chalk drawing of Maximilian. The modest yet exquisitely realized work would ultimately serve as the portrait image contained within Dürer's magnificent woodcut, the first life-size woodcut portrait in European history. Maximilian I, Holy Roman emperor and German king (1493-1519), was the son and successor of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III, husband of Mary of Burgundy, father of Margaret of Austria, and grandfather of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. Maximilian frequently sacrificed the interests of Germany as a whole in the hopes of enhancing the possessions of the Hapsburg dynasty. Nevertheless, Maximilian, an ardent humanist, also aimed to reinstate effective imperial leadership over and to initiate much-needed administrative reforms across his evermore decentralized empire. In addition to his legendary political and military record, Maximilian I has also been credited by scholars for having passionately supported the arts. During the golden age of the Northern Renaissance, Maximilian commissioned important works from Albrecht Altdorfer (1480/85-1538) in Regensburg, Hans Burgkmair (1473-1531) in Augsburg, and, most notably, Dürer in Nuremberg. All of these men pioneered cutting-edge techniques in the practice of woodcutting, a relief printing process which had only just begun to spread across Europe a century earlier. Dürer, however, was individually responsible for designing many of the emperor's more decorative projects, including a mammoth woodcut known as the Triumphal Arch, the Triumphal Procession, and a small prayer book. The impression seen in this work represents the last of four woodcuts printed (from four different blocks) of Dürer's portrait of Maximilian. It represents Maximilian, in somewhat idealized fashion, in a three-quarters profile pose and, most strikingly, without any imperial symbols (crown, orb, scepter, sword). Instead, Maximilian is portrayed as a secular monarch, albeit still lavishly dressed, wearing the chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The Emperor earned entry into the esteemed Order as a result of his marriage to Mary of Burgundy. A badge, containing an image of Mary and the Christ Child, is pinned on Maximilian's cap and is emblematic of the ruler's pious nature. Like the other versions of Dürer's Maximilian portrait, this extremely rare example of the fourth edition contains the Latin caption: "Imperator Caesar Divus Maximilianus Pius Felix Augustus." Unlike in earlier editions, however, the Latin script in the fourth state is located at either side of the Emperor's head rather than above it. In addition, this aesthetically dazzling final state includes a breathtaking decorative frame which was added to the composition by Hans Weiditz, a well-respected contemporary of Dürer. At the bottom of the sheet are two lines of German script in addition to Dürer's distinctive initials and the date, 1519. Dürer, a German painter, engraver, and theoretician, was born in Nuremberg to a goldsmith father. Prior to 1494, he traveled to Colmbar, Basel, Strasbourg and, most significantly, Italy. Indeed, it was in Italy that Dürer became exposed to such renowned artists as Schongauer, Mantegna and Bellini. Thoug

Flemish School, 16th Century
|
| Emperor Charles V inspecting the building of Escorial, close to Madrid
|
- AN UTTERLY UNIQUE DRAWING OF HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR CHARLES V AT ESCORIAL Inscription: 'Brixiae' et 'Carolus Puteus Hoc Opus Calamo Fecit./ Carolus innumeris redimitus tempora lauris,/Bellorum vitat fremitus atque otia querit./ Sacros monasterii: Sic bello strennuus HEROS: Deseruit terras, tradens sua regna PHILIPPO' et numerate '8' Pen and brown ink, on parchment Parchment size: approx. 7 1/10" x 8 9/10" Framed size: approx. 16 3/5" x 18 1/10" This is an extraordinary and utterly unique drawing of Emperor Charles V (1519-1558), produced by an unknown member of the Flemish School during the sixteenth century. This drawing is based on a composition painted by Antonio Tempesta (1555-1563) at Palazzo Mattei in Rome. It likely served as the basis of the eighth and final engraving included in Mattaus Merian's (1593-1650), father of legendary naturalist Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), 1615 work dedicated to the life of Charles V. The artist to whom the inscription refers, "Carolus Puteus," is unknown today, but scholars have suggested that he is of the family of the gifted painter and miniaturist Thomas van den Putte (1532-1608). The scene represented in the drawing, however, is not a historical event, since the construction of Escorial did not commence until five years after Charles V's death. The drawing depicts Charles V overseeing the building of the famed Spanish monastery and palace. Decked out in full Classical garb, his chiseled musculature exposed, Charles V gives feedback to an architect holding a blueprint of Escorial's legendary basilica. Surrounding the emperor are a band of similarly heroic looking soldiers and a number of builders hard at work. A lavish border encloses the scene along with the artist's inscription as well. Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, was the son of Philip I and Joana of Castile, and the grandson of Ferdinand II of Aragón, Isabella of Castile, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, and Mary of Burgundy. Upon his father's death in 1506, Charles inherited a vast empire that included the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Artois, and Franche Comté. After the death of Ferdinand II in 1516, Charles inherited Aragón, Navarre, Granada, Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, Spanish America, and joint kingship with his mother (who was insane) over Castile. During Charles V's rule the Spanish Empire dramatically increased in size. Spain won control of Italy, and almost usurped power in England and Portugal as well. Nevertheless, Charles V, a vehement supporter of the Counter-Reformation, largely failed in his attempts to return Protestants to the Roman Catholic faith. Escorial is a monastery and palace located in New Castile, near Madrid, and is one of the finest edifices in Europe. It was built between 1563 and 1584 as the monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial by Phillip II (1527-1598), Charles V's only legitimate son, to memorialize the Spanish victory over the French at Saint-Quentin (1557). Escorial's numerous granite buildings are quite somber in tone, and include a monastery, church, royal palace, mausoleum, college, and library. Escorial's architect was Juan Bautista de Toledo, though the complex's final construction was overseen by de Toledo's pupil, Juan de Herrera. Claudio Coello and Luca Giordano among others decorated Escorial. Its art collection includes magnificent works by Velásquez, Ribera, El Greco and Tintoretto.

- (8), 397, (2) pp. Bierens de Haan 5157; Krivatsy 12499; Norman Library 2168; Wing V-707; not in Osler, Waller; NNBW I, cols. 1519-1525. FIRST EDITION of a collection of works by Vossius, most of them published here for the first time, with subjects ranging from classical Roman cities, China, gun powder, ancient ship construction, navigation and the calculation of longitude, the phases of the moon, and Christ's nativity. The rare dedication leaf, cancelled in most copies, is here loosely inserted. The longer pieces in the collection include "De Antiqua Urbis Romæ Magnitudine" (ending with chapters on Thebes, Alexandria, Carthage, Cairo, Babylon, and thirteen pages on the cities of China), "De Triremium & Liburnicarum Constructione" (an account of the construction of galleys and Illyrian warships in classical Roman times, with nine woodcut diagrams), "De Emendatione Longitudinum" and "De Sibyllinis" (on Christ's nativity, previously published at Oxford in 1679). But the shorter works are especially interesting: the seventeen-page "De Artibus & Scientiis Sinarum" (with one of the earliest accounts of acupuncture; Vossius also points out that the Chinese had discovered the circulation of the blood many years before Harvey), nine-page "De Origine & Progressu Pulveris Bellici apud Europæos" (on gun powder), eight-page "De Patefacienda per Septentrionem ad Japonenses & Indos Navigatione" (on the Northeast Passage), and six-page "De Apparentibus in Luna Circulis" (with one woodcut illustration). The engraved map in "De Antiqua Urbis Romæ" (plate size 15 x 19 cm) shows the area around Rome (about 35 x 40 km) with the course of the Aniene and Tiber rivers, from Tivoli to the coast at Ostia.Isaac Vossius (1618-1689), renaissance man, book collector and religious sceptic, moved to London in 1670 and lived there for the rest of his life. The depth and breadth of his scholarship awed his contemporaries and is still admired today. The present collection must have been published very early in 1685 or perhaps even in the last months of 1684, because it originally contained a dedication to King Charles II, who died on 6 February 1685. This dedication leaf was probably cancelled by the publisher after Charles's death, and most copies contain only three preliminary leaves. The Huntington Library and Norman Library copies are described as having four preliminary leaves, so they apparently include the dedication. The Norman Library catalogue describes the preliminaries as four singleton leaves, but in our copy the first two appear to be conjugate. The loosely inserted dedication leaf appears to be printed on the same paper stock as the first two leaves, but if it was originally conjugate to the third leaf it must come from another copy. "De Sibyllinis" and the two related works that follow it have their own part-titles (without imprints), and the first is introduced by Vossius's letter to Thomas Brown, dated December 1672. The printer, Robert Scott, had helped John Fell set up the University Press at Oxford. The present book provides a good view of typographic materials, including Greek and occasional words of Hebrew. Some of his types were native-cut and others continental.With the bookpate of the American protozoologist and algologist Charles Atwood Kofoid (1865-1947), showing books on his shelves, a ship trawling for plankton (!), and his arms. In very good condition, with only occasional spotting, small hole touching three letters of the text, and a minor stain on one leaf, rebacked with original backstrip and with corners repaired. A very good first edition of an interesting collection essays, with large margins and the rare dedication leaf.

Desiderius Erasmus (1460-1527) Important Dutch Humanist writer, theologian and reformer. In 1516 Erasmus published his critical edition of the Greek New Testament. Immediately afterwards he started writing the "Paraphrases" or commentaries on the New Testament. These he considered suitable for the educated laymen. The "Paraphrases" were first published individually and were not collected together until 1524. They were soon translated into the common languages of Europe. In England the "Paraphrases" were particularly favored and English translations were placed in all the local parish churches in the country.

Johann Schönsperger, Augsburg 1519 - 2o (330 x 220 mm). 116 woodcuts (of 118, lacking numbers 4 and 111) by Jost de Negker and Heinrich Kupferworm after Leonhard Beck (77), Hans Burgkmair (13), Hans Schdufelein (20), and others. (Title and a2 supplied in an early manuscript facsimile, a8, b1, N5 and blank P5 lacking, lower portion of r5 repaired affecting some letters on verso, D8 with small hole to last two lines affecting a few letters supplied in facsimile, P4 loose with light fraying to lower margin.) Late 19th- century vellum binding of an antiphonal leaf (backstrip and front panel have pulled away from the text block at the front hinge, but remain attached to each other and the rear board). Provenance: Daniel Henry Holmes (bookplate); John Wesley Warrington (bookplate). Second edition, a line-by-line reprint of the first edition, printed by Schönsperger in 1517. It is printed with the same distinctive type, which was created specifically for the work. The type was designed by Vinzenz Röckner, the emperor's court secretary, and the woodcuts, based on preliminary drawings approved by Maximilian himself, are the work of the great woodcut artists, Beck, Schäufelein, Burgkmair, and others. A literary epic, sponsored by Emperor Maximilian (represented in the poem by the hero Tewrdannck) to celebrate his heroic feats in overcoming the difficulties of his journey to win his bride, Mary of Burgundy (die Künigin Ernreich in the poem). Maximilian was largely responsible for writing the poem, and had made the first drafts in 1505-08. Pfintzing, the emperor's private secretary, oversaw completion of the poem and served as general editor. This copy is a mixed second and third issue (Panzer A and B) with b2 and b3 corresponding with Panzer A and the rest corresponding with Panzer B. Brunet V, 787-8; Fairfax Murray German 330 (listing differences between Schönsperger's first three editions).

New front and rear end papers expertly fitted. Very slight wear to cover edges and spine. Spine foot bears gilt date 1500. 15cm x 21cm tall. Book 1. 158pp. CR. Book 2. 184pp. CR. Most of both books printed in twin columns. Both books printed throughout in italic print, with impressive woodcut capital letters to sections. All pages throughout are numbered sequentially only on right hand page, left hand pages are unnumbered. Approx. 5 pages have had their numbers transposed in printing (i.e 35 for 53). Book 1. Title page bears inscriptions by previous owners, as does last page of Book 2. A loose sheet of more recent times is included with translations of these inscriptions. Book 1. has one superb full page, quality woodcut of a scholar sitting under a tree with his books, and a messenger about to place a laurel wreath upon his head. Some browning to margins, also handwritten notes. Pages 73-75 have Canzone XXI, consisting of 7 Stantia crossed through, and Canzone XXVIIII, pages 91-92 and facing page to 93 have all been blanked, with what appears to be brown watercolour wash. These pages are still clearly readable, as the medium is transparent. It would appear that some previous owner did not agree with Petrarcha's sentiments or arguments in these particular sections. It is possible that these markings were made by Jesus Maria Joseph, as the writing on the last page of Book 2 is in the same medium as the margin notes and blocked portions of text. There are some spots of the same medium to be found in occasional margins. Book 1. ends at Page 158 with the Registrum, given as follows A B C D E F G H I R L M N O P Q R S T V.

An Italian Renaissance humanist, scholar, poet, philosopher, and moralist, he was responsible for the recovery of many Latin and Greek manuscripts. He shared his interest in writing and Latin literature with his friend Giovanni Boccaccio. On the 26th April, 1336, aged 32 years, he climbed Mont Ventoux, and was said to be the first person to climb a mountain just because it was there, and is credited with being the first Alpine climber. He also travelled widely in Europe, principally in Italy, Spain, France and Germany, searching out ancient manuscripts in Latin and Greek, and wrote much of his more serious works and poetry in Latin.

Enchiridion sacerdotale concinnatum ad salutarem eruditionem Christifidelium ab longe reverendo in Christo patre domino Ioanne Mare Condomiensis episcopo. In quo haec sunt capita. (see below). Paris, Jodocus Badius Ascensius, 25 November 1519. 4to. LXI (=LXXI), (1 blank) lvs. Nice woodcut initials. Two rare works - both in first editions, both complete with their often lacking last leaves - on priesthood and education of priests in a interesting signed 16th century binding, finely produced by two of the most important printers/publishers of the 16th century, Henri Estienne, or Henricus Stephanus (1) and Josse Bade, or Jodocus Badius Ascensius (2).Ad 1: First edition of this influential work on the priestly office by Josse Clic(h)thove (Nieuwpoort 1472-1543 Chartres). Clichthove was a theologian who began his studies at Louvain and went to Paris for his philosophical and theological studies. After receiving the doctorate in theology (1506) he was appointed professor at the Sorbonne. In 1515 he was asked to direct the studies of Louis Guillard, the Bishop-elect of Tournai, and four years later he accompanied him to this latter place. After a short stay there, he returned to Paris and in 1527 to Chartres, whither Guillard had been transferred. A champion of reform in philosophical and theological studies during the earlier part of his life, Clichthove devoted himself later almost exclusively to combating the doctrines of Luther. He gained a wide reputation in intellectual circles as the representative of theology among Lefèvre's collaborators. In particular, Wimpfeling and his disciples, such as Beatus Rhenanuns, showed great appreciation for his work. His works are numerous and belong to almost every department of theology and philosophy. Among his original works must be mentioned De verâ nobilitate opusculum (1512); Elucidatorium ecclesiasticum (1516); ad above all the present work, his De vitâ et moribus sacerdotum (1519). Increasingly Clichthove's efforts were devoted to a reform of the secular clergy. In this work he developed a new and comprehensive concept of the priestly office that anticipated the spirit of Trent. It also defended clerical celibacy and the fast, in opposition to Erasmus, although the latter is not mentioned by name. Already the next year a second edition was printed by Simon de Colines in Paris, followed by further editions in 1548, 1549 and 1550 (2x).The title is printed in a woodcut frame, reproduced as a printer's device in Silvestre (nr. 844); on its verso starts the dedicatory letter to Louis Guilliard, dated Paris 1519. The text begins on f. 3r; the index is on f. 74v-75r, and the colophon on f. 75v; the work is complete including the often lacking last blank.Ad 2: Very rare first edition of this collection of texts edited by Jean Marre, bishop of Condom, for the education of priests. As the title-page is loose and as there are two variant readings in the text of the title-page compared with the title as given by Renouard (l. 8: timenda,; and last l.: Prelo), the title may be a cancel. In that case our copy belongs to an unrecorded issue of the first edition!This interesting work contains the following texts:- f. ir: Title.- f. iv: Letter of Jodocus Badius to Jean Marre, dated Paris, 24 November 1519 (edited by Renouard, p. 77-8).- f. iir-xviv: Preface by Jean Marre (on the title: 'Quae sint de deo [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

(40), 544, 54, (2 blank) pp. Willems 741 note; OCLC WorldCat (7 copies); STCN (3 copies); cf. Rahir 745-746 (other issues).Important "magnifique édition" (Willems) of Calvin's seminal Latin Institution of Christian Religion. with a biographical sketch and other additions by Théodore de Bèze (1519-1605). First published in 1536, and extensively revised by Calvin (1509-1564) for the 1559 edition, this introductory textbook on the Protestant faith sets out Calvin's concept of Protestant theology systematically and attacks Roman Catholicism as unorthodox. It therefor forms an essential primary text for Calvin's ideas. It is divided into four "books": 1. Of the knowledge of God the creator; 2. Of the knowledge of God the redeemer in Christ; 3. The mode of obtaining the grace of Christ; 4. Of the holy Catholic church. After Calvin's death, Bèze added the biographical sketch (including the text of Calvin's last will and testament), a list of his publications and other material. The present edition includes Calvin's original 1536 note to the reader and his 1559 dedication to the new King François II of France. It appeared in six simultaneous issues published by Franciscus Hackius, Franciscus Moyaerd, Pieter Leffen, Adriaen Wijngaerden, David Lopez de Haro and Johannes and Daniel Elzevier. Four of the six differ only in their imprints, while the Elzevier and Lopez de Haro issues have two-leaf and four-leaf additions respectively, the former being an additional dedication. The imprint of the Elzevier issue adds "Acad. typogr." while the others say only "ex officina," Rahir notes the headpiece and tailpiece as Leiden Elzevier material (nos. 41 & 62), and Willems and Rahir attribute the printing to them, but the initials have not been noted as Elzevier material. It appears to be the first Elzevier publication to use Christoffel van Dijck's largest italic (Kanon, measuring about 183 mm/20 lines or about 26 point) used for 6 words on the title-page, and perhaps their first use of any Van Dijck type.With a 1930 inscription by Howard R. Chapman, a Baptist minister active in Rochester from 1897, and a bookplate and stamp of Crozer Theological Seminary. With an occasional pencilled annotation. In very good condition and with generous margins, with a few small marginal water stains. Most of the gold in the tooling of the binding has rubbed off, and there are some small tears and cracks in the vellum. Calvin's seminal work of systematic theology printed by the Elzeviers.

BARTHOLOMAEUS Anglicus

| Opus de rerum proprietatibus
|
| by Friedrich Peypus for Johann Koberger Nuremberg 3 May 1519 19th century stiff wrappers Folio . Important Renaissance edition of this influential medieval encyclopedia, "On the Properties of Things," by Bartholomaeus Anglicus (Bartholomew of England) which is very comprehensive with the sections on natural history being very advanced for the period in additional to the traditional theological topics that are dealt with. Thorndike comments that it is interesting to note that this 13th century monk included substantially more science that his 16th century counterparts. In nineteen books he deals with, among other things, medicine; trees and herbs; gems, minerals and metals; food and drink; geography; cosmology; animals; and music. Bartolomaeus Anglicus (Fl. ca. 1220-1250) was a monk born in England, who became professor of divinity at the University of Paris. For centuries after his death he was famous as the compiler of this highly esteemed encyclopedia on the nature of things: "An encyclopedia written for the common people, that went through many editions. Still important for its information on political geography and its accounts of natural history. It treats also of medicine, cosmology, form and matter, meteorology, minerals, metals, trees, plants, measures and weights, musical instruments, and many other matters" (Stillwell, Awakening Interest in Science, no. 595: Basel 1471 ed.). The work also appears to have been a Shakespeare source (cf. Kunz, Shakespeare and Precious Stones, p. 36). Thorndike in his "History of Magic and Experimental Science" devotes a whole chapter describing the work in great detail (vol. II, chap. LIV; pp. 401-435). From the library of Wolfgang Sedelius (inscription, dated 1537, on title and with annotations in his hand on leaves m6, n1, o6, and x1). Wolfgang Seydel (1492-1562) was a well known preacher at the Augustine Church in Munich. He was an opponent of the reform movement and helped to prevent the advances of Protestantism in Munich Title within fine large historiated border, with the blank *6, historiated and ornamental initials, printed in double columns; final text leaf with small piece of blank margin torn away (no loss); title a little | |
