| Eyn Sermon geprediget vom Pawren zu Werdt, bey Nürmberg, am Sontag vor Faßnacht, von dem freyen willen des Mennschen.
|
Nürnberg, H. Höltzel 1524. Mit Titelholzschnitt von Erhard Schön. 7 Bll. 4°. Mod. Pappband. Erste Ausgabe "dieser in nicht weniger als 10 verschiedenen Ausgaben überlieferten Flugschrift. Clemen hat nachgewiesen, daß alle 10 Ausgaben zwischen Fastnacht und dem 26. Mai 1524 erschienen ('ein typisches Beispiel, wie rapid sich damals Flugschriften verbreiteten') und bringt die verschiedenen Überlieferungen über das tragische Ende des Autors in den blutigen Wirren des Bauernkrieges. Diebold Schuster aus Aichenbrunnen bei Ulm war 'geradezu ein Typus der Winkelprediger'. Er trat unter dem falschen Namen 'Peringer' auf (der vervollständigte 10. Druck nennt diesen Namen in der Vorrede), und um mehr Eindruck auf seine Zuhörer zu machen, trat er, obwohl seine Schrift gelehrte Bildung verrät, unter der Maske eines möglichst tölpischen Bauern auf, der (wie einer der Nachdrucke hervorhebt) 'weder lesen noch schreiben konnte'. 'Er zog in ländlicher Tracht umher, nahm Bücher verkehrt in die Hand und legte in guten Häusern die Füße auf die Bank oder den Tisch (von Bezold). Größten Zulauf hatten seine Predigten in dem in der Umgebung von Nürnberg gelegenen Wöhrd. 'Die ganze Flugschriften-Literatur dieses Zeitalters ist bewußt volkstümlich, aber sie stammt dennoch aus gebildeten, im schriftstellerischen Handwerk erfahrenen Kreisen von gelehrter Bildung, ist also für das Volk bestimmt, ohne vom Volke selbst hervorgebracht zu sein, obwohl sie sich vielfach absichtlich diesen Anschein gibt' (Arnold E. Berger). Von der Sensation, die Peringer erregte, profitierte Höltzel, der Nürnberger Drucker der hier vorliegenden Erstausgabe, indem er längst Erschienenes unter dem reklamehaften Aushängeschild eines Sermons des 'Bauern von Wöhrd' an den Mann zu bringen suchte. Denn seine angebliche Predigt 'Vom freien Willen des Menschen' ist - wie F. Cohrs feststellte - nichts als ein unveränderter Abdruck des letzten Abschnittes von Gretzingers 'Beschirm-Büchlein' von 1523. Erst die 10. Auflage enthält tatsächlich den Text von Peringers Sermon. Der prächtige Titelholzschnitt des Bauern mit dem Dreschflegel, eine vorzügliche Arbeit von Erhard Schön, ist ein Symbol für den aufrührerischen Bauern geworden, das in verschiedenen Nachschnitten verbreitet war. Brandt, Der große Bauernkrieg (Diederichs 1925), bildet ihn als Tafel 1 ab, desgl. Bezold, Gesch. der Reformation pag. 459. Das Wappen mit dem Eichelzweig findet sich auch auf der Fahne des Bauern auf Gengenbachs 'Bundtschuh' " (Rosen, Kat. Neufforge, 92). - Innenstege verstärkt, kleine Fehlstellen dort professionell restauriert; gutes Exemplar aus der Fürstl. Stolberg-Wernigerodeschen Bibliothek (Stemp. a. d. Titel). - VD 16, P 1410. Clemen (in: Beiträge zur Reformationsgeschichte II, 94). Röttinger, Schön und Stör, 32 Anm. - Nicht bei Adams und im British Museum (STC German Books).

- Cm. 15,5, pp. 234 (22). Con bello stemma pontificio a mezza pagina. Leg. settecentesca in piena pelle con titoli su tass e fregi in oro al dorso. Sottili fenditure di pochi cm. alle cerniere, lievi spellature. Esemplare nel complesso ben conservato. Francois Hotman (1524-1590), celebre giureconsulto francese, fu tra i massimi rappresentanti della scuola «culta» che mosse critiche radicali al diritto romano classico con l'intento di affermare la crescita di un diritto nazionale. Quest'opera politica fu scritta dall'Hotman in polemica con la posizione di papa Sisto V nell'ambito della contesa tra la lega cattolica ed Enrico di Navarra. La bolla di Sisto V che scatenò la reazione dell'A. è inserita dopo p. 234 con riproduzione del frontespizio dell'edizione romana (apud haeredes Antonii Bladii, 1585): "Sanctiss. D. N. Sixti Papae V declaratio contra Hericum Borbonium assertum regem Navarrae". Edizione non comune. Cfr. Brunet, V, 405; Graesse, VI, 418; Kvk. (S105)

Matted with two images of Mencken, glazed and framed. Size: 199 x 128 mm. Addressed "Dear Mr. Stearns,": "You are heading for disaster and the academic Zuchthaus. A few weeks ago a high-school teacher in Detroit posted much the same list, and now he is being tried by the Commissioners of Education. The newspapers report that he recommended "Jurgen" and my "Book of Burlesques", two undoubtedly lewd tomes. If you have the burlesques book turn to "From the memoirs of the Devil". This he offered to virgins of 17 and 18. No wonder the High-School Mothers’ Club complained to the Polizei.Give me a few days on the poem.Sincerely yours,H. L. Mencken."

HEGESIPPUS
|
| Historia de bello Iudaico, Scaeptri sublatione, Iudeorum dispersione, et Hierosolymitano Excidio
|
J. Badius, Paris 1524 - Latin translation from the Greek St. Ambrose, Jacques Lefèvre d'Etaples, M. Hummelberg, and J Badius. Lxxxvi ff. "De belle Iudaico" of Flavius Josephus (37-95 A.D.) is a narrative of the Jewish rebellion of 67-73 A.D. and probably had the purpose to impress on the Babylonian Jews the overwhelming power of Rome and thereby to deter them from repeating the futile revolt of the Jews of Palestine. Free Latin adaptation of the "Jewish War" with additions from the "Jewish Antiquities" and from the works of Roman historians, supposedly written by Hegesippus (now generally believed to be a corruption of the name of the original author). Title within elaborate woodcut border, incl. Badius' printing press device. Cribblé initials. Old ownership entries on title. Contemp. marginal ms. notes. Ref. Moreau III 679. Renouard "Badius" II 488-489 and "Imprimeurs" II 540. BN Paris (2). Not in Adams, STCFrench (BL London). 1 volumes.

Antwerp, Michiel Hillen van Hoochstraten, 1524.. 8vo. Half 17th century vellum, decorated with penwork; boards covered with marbled paper. Two small nice woodcut initials. Rom. type; 27-32 lines. 26, (2) leaves.. Extremely rare fourth edition of these translations by Erasmus of the satirical dialogues of Lucianus Samosatensis (2nd cent. AD), the most important Greek author of the second generation of the Sophists. Erasmus has worked on the translation of Lucianus' dialogues together with Thomas More in the first years of the 16th century. An edition of this translation appeared in 1506. The first edition of Erasmus' translations edited with additions by Nicolaus Buscoducensis (1478-1553; NNBW , 3 (1914), cols. 183-5) was published by Michiel Hillen van Hoochstraten in Antwerp in 1517 ( NK 3436; 2 copies); a second edition appeared in 1518 ( NK 3437; 2 copies ) ; a third in 1521 ( NK 1400; 1 copy). Our edition of 1524 is extremely rare: Nijhoff-Kronenberg mentions only one copy with the Fa. Nijhoff in The Hague. The edition is not in the bibliography by F. Vanderhaeghen, Bibliotheca Erasmiana. In the following six years at least four more editions were published by Van Hoochstraten testifying of the popularity of these translations. Good copy; some contemporary marginal annotations and Latin proverbs and sayings on the blank verso of the last leaf.- (Some occasional browning). NK 1401 (1 copy); Erasmus Rot.

BIBLE, New Testament.]
|
| Tomus primus Paraphraseon.in novum Testamentum, videlicet in quatuor Evangelia, & Acta apostolorum, quarum bona pars nunc recens nata est, omnes ab ipso auctore non oscitanter recognitae. Basileae, in officina Io. Frobenii, An. M. D. XXIIII.
|
Basel, Froben, 1524. 1524 - 5 parts in one volume, folio, roman letter; separate title-page to each part; each part with Froben's woodcut printer's device at beginning and end, numerous woodcut initials; a few faint spots here and there but generally in very good condition; German contemporary blind-stamped pigskin over bevelled wooden boards, catches intact, clasps renewed, some repair to spine. First collected edition of Erasmus' Paraphrases on the Gospels and Acts, including the first printing of Mark and Acts.The publisher Froben had already issued Erasmus' Paraphrases on Matthew, John and Luke in separate editions over the previous two years (Matthew, March 1522; John, Feb. 1523; Luke, August 1523). The Paraphrases on Mark and Acts he decided to issue in two formats, folio (for sale separately or as part of a collected Paraphrases) and octavo. As Allen (Ep. 1400, note) remarks, "[the latter] is probably only an issue in another form to suit diversity of taste." Both issues were published simultaneously; we know that for Acts each issue numbered 3,000 copies."Paraphrase is sometimes the best form of commentary. Erasmus was not content with the simple, more or less factual annotation of the New Testament, but went on to paraphrase, which enabled him to soar higher and to dig deeper. His paraphrases had the advantage of being a comparatively new form when they were written, and they were so well-liked and became so popular that edition after edition was called for during his lifetime and after his death. King Edward VI of England went so far as to decree that a copy should be placed beside the Bible in every parish church in his realm" (J. E. Walsh in the catalogue of the Houghton Library Erasmus quincentenary exhibtion).The Tomus primus was an immediate best-seller. The corresponding volume is the Tomus secundus which contains Erasmus' Paraphrases on Epistles and was originally issued a year earlier (1523). Its absence here is not significant. The two volumes regularly occur separately and when they are found together they are as often as not of mixed editions. Suffice it to say that the first edition of the Tomus primus is a very rare book.For the publishing history of Erasmus' various Paraphrases and their first appearance in print, see R.A.B. Mynors' introduction to vol. 42 (pp. xx-xxix) of the CWE. Bezzel 1501; Vander Haeghen p. 151.

- Tre opere in un volume di cm. 16. Frontespizi in rosso e nero. Ottima leg. coeva in piena perg. rigida con traccia di titoli ms. al dorso. Lievi e naturali arrossature, peraltro bell’esemplare. Francois Hotman (1524-1590), celebre rappresentante della scuola «culta» francese, mosse critiche radicali al diritto giustinianeo (e tribonianeo) con l’intento dichiarato di affermare la crescita di un diritto nazionale divincolato, per quanto concerne ogni forma di vigenza, dal diritto romano, considerato oramai mero exemplum. Anche in seguito all’impegno dell’Hotman le forti spinte ideologiche di politica nazionale fecero della Francia, ed in particolare di Bourges, il principale centro giuridico del Cinquecento. Questa celebre opera, accompagnata in quest’edizione da un interessante commento critico di Jean Papire Masson (1544-1611), rappresenta la sintesi ideale del pensiero politico di Hotman, sempre indirizzato alla negazione del potere assoluto del re. Di grande interesse anche il trattato "De jure territorii" di Andreas von Knichen (1560-1621), dedicato ai rapporti giurisdizionali tra potere imperiale e poteri territoriali. Non comune e ricercato. Così Brunet, III, 346: "La plus complete est celle de Francf. 1665, in-8, réunissant les passages supprimés dans les précédentes, ainsi que la réponse de Matharel". Cfr. anche Kvk. (S115)

|
| First edition of the account of the Ottoman conquest of Rhodes in 1522 De bello Rhodio libri tres Clementi VII Pont. Max. dedicati.
|
Rome, Francesco Minizio Calvo, February 1524. - Folio Nineteenth-century calf decorated in the style of a sixteenth-century binding: blind tooled with fillets, stamps and decorated border, small gilt centre piece and four corner pieces on both sides; leather ties, partly gone. Beautiful architectural title-border decorated with festoons with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, with standing figures of Minerva (left) and Mars (right) and the goddess Roma holding out a globe to the river god of the Tiber within a wreath in the lower register. Four painted decorated initials (seven lines), the first of which with coloured penwork with flowers, extending into the entire left margin. The initials (for the preface and book 1-3), are painted in gold in light-blue, green and pink squares decorated with Italian 'giari bianchi'. (44) lvs. (Collation: A-L4, including the two blanks: A4 and L4). Rare first edition of the account of the siege and conquest by the Turks of the island Rhodos in 1522 by the lawyer Jacobus Fontanus (Jacobo Fontano; Jacob Fonteyn) from Bruges (d. after 1538), which he dedicated to Pope Clement VII (f. A2r-A3r).The Order of the Knights Hospitaller (Order of St. John, Maltese Knights) had participated in the crusades and in 1309 established itself on the island of Rhodes, which it turned into a bulwark of Christianity in the continued conflict with Islam (from the mid-14th century onward, the Ottoman Empire). Rhodes had withstood Ottoman sieges in 1460 and 1480. Sultan Mehmet II. regarded Rhodes a pirate's nest, and in 1522 Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent dispatched a force reportedly 140,000 men strong, which landed July 28th. The fortress of Rhodes held out for several months; the island, however, proved untenable. Starved, Grand Master Philippe de Villiers de l'Isle Adam surrendered 21 December 1522. On January 1st 1523 the Knights Hospitaller withdrew. In 1530 Emperor Charles V. transferred the island of Malta to the Knights Hospitaller. The recto of f. L3 is blank and the verso contains a note to the reader by Fonteyn attributing errors in printing to an illness of Calvo's while the book was in press. A paragraph of errata follows. Calvo's illness could also account for the errors in estimating text for ff. D4, E4, F4 and K4 where the last few words had to be set in the direction line.Calvo used the beautiful title border - the finest of his border designs (Mortimer) - for the first time in this edition. It is an enlargement of a quarto border: the conception is the same but the border varies in details. Good copy complete with the two blanks, with some sixteenth-century marginal annotations in ink.- (Title shaved at the top, marginal water staining at places (esp. title and first five lvs), two ties lacking) Mortimer, Italian books 194 (with repr. of title which is also shaved); Sander I, 2849 (title: VI, 806: from an other work); A.

Paris, Simon de Colines, 1524 (colophon of part 2: 22 April 1524). - 2 parts in one vol. 16mo. Text space 80 x 44 mm. Seventeenth-century blind stamped vellum with title in ink on spine. Four charming small woodcut portraits of the evangelists at the beginning of the gospels (ca. 15 x 20 mm) and woodcut initials in text. Finely rubricated in red throughout. 280; 204, (24) ff. Very rare second edition of the four parts of the New Testament of the famous Bible in pocket format as published by Simon Colines: (1) the four gospels (ff. 2-216); (2) Acts of the Apostles (ff. 217-80); (3) Epistles: Epistola Pauli (ff. 4-142), Epistolae Catholicae (ff. 144-74); (4) Apocalypsis (ff. 175-204), and index. De Colines also printed the Old Testament selling all parts also seperately. The first edition of his Bible was published in 1522-23.Simon de Colines (between 1470 and 1490 - 1546) was one the greatest names of French publishing at the time of the Renaissance, he was a scholar, printer, publisher and punch-cutter at the same time. He also was the foreman of the famous Estienne printing firm founded in Paris in 1504/5. After the death of the founder Henri Estienne in 1520, Colines married his widow Guyonne Viart, became tutor of his three sons, and ran the firm until Henri's son Robert came of age. In 1526, De Colines formally handed over the business to Robert Estienne. In the meantime he had established his own firm in 1520 which he continued till his death in 1546. Colines used elegant roman and italic types and a Greek type, with accents, that was superior to its predecessors. He is believed to have designed some of his types himself; some were designed by Geofroy Tory. His books, often small in format, are superbly crafted. De Colines began a tradition of biblical scholarship and publications around 1521. 'It was at this time that De Colines began to publish a series of little volumes that were innovative both in spirit and in form, consisting of the four parts of the Novum Testamentum, for which his step-son the young Robert I Estienne (1503-1559) had revised the text after ancient Greek manuscripts, and which were specially printed in a tiny16mo pocket format to make the edition accessible to a wider public, and in a roman type of small body known as Petit Romain.' As a result of the publishing success of the 16mo Bible, it may have been this typeface that inspired the terms 'Colineus' and 'lettre Colinee' used forty years later by the Antwerp printer Christopher Plantin to designate a type close in size.' (Schreiber). Fine copy with two 16th-century full-page woodcuts, nicely coloured by a contemporary hand: (1) illustrating Mathew 16: 'Euntes in mundum universum predicate evangelium omni creaturae' (witten by a contemporary hand above and beneath the woodcut, pasted to the verso of the front cover), and (2) a woodcut of the Trinity with a caption in a contemporary hand beneath.- (Some printed marginal annotations shaved).

The first printed map devoted to New England and New France, showing the eastern seaboard from New York Bay to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The map is the first to use the name New France and one of the earliest to delineate New York Harbor and Manhattan with any accuracy. It has been called the best surviving early map to illustrate Verrazano's discovery of New York Harbor. (Cohen & Augustyn). The map is based on the voyages of Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524 and Jacques Cartier in 1534. Verrazano sailed up the eastern coast discovering Ney York Harbor on the way, with this monumental event graphically depicted on the map. New York Harbor is delineated in the low left, with Manhattan pictured as a peninsula named Angoulesme. This name, which Verrazano bestowed on his discovery, refers to Francis I's title before he became king. This name never was picked up for general usage and soon disappeared from maps. From New York, Verrazano continued further north, visiting Newport Bay, here called Port Real, and Narragansett Bay, named as Port du Refuge. Verrazano skirted the New England coast further north, which is why the map is missing the familiar shape of Cape Cod and also the reason that the distance between the bays of southern New England and the islands around the Gulf of St. Lawrence is so foreshortened. The northern region around the St. Lawrence is based on Cartier's voyage. Terra Nuova (Newfoundland) is shown as comprised of several islands and the St. Lawrence River is depicted running west from the Gulf, eventually meeting with the Hudson River north of Angouleme. This may reflect a mixed up belief that Cartier and Verrazano met while exploring these rivers. The map is the first cartographic depiction of the northeast by itself and it is based on the earliest explorations in the region. A nice example of the 1606 edition of the map, which can be distinguished from earlier editions by the pagination at the top left and right.

VITRUVIUS
|
| De Architectura
|
1524 1524 - VITRUVIUS. De Architectura traducto di Latino in Vulgare. (Venetia: Ioane Antonio & Piero Fratelli da Sabio, 1524). Tall, slim quarto, early vellum spine and paper-covered boards. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $18,500. Second edition in Italian of "the first of the great books on architecture and certainly the most influential of them all" (Avery 2), with 136 woodcut figures and diagrams and 101 woodcut initials. Vitruvius was "simply a very well informed, experienced Roman architect-engineer of the first century B.C. (his book is dedicated to the Emperor Augustus) who put everything he knew into ten so-called books of text. He deals with the education of the architect, with the fundamental principles of architecture (order, arrangement, eurythmy, symmetry, propriety and economy are his terms), with siting, material, constructions, building types (such as dwellings, temples, prisons and theaters), with weather conditions and even with astrology. To the Renaissance and indeed to all later followers of the classic tradition, his was the authentic voice of antiquity. all the more so since, through a ghastly fluke of history, all Greek writing on architecture has been lost. Thus our knowledge not only of Roman but also of Greek architectural theory (on the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders, on proportions, modules and ratios etc.) derives from this scholarly but sober Roman who in the introduction to his seventh 'book' lists all his Greek sources-the first bibliography in architectural literature" (Avery 2). "Important as our prime source of many lost Greek writings on the subject and as a guide to archaeological research in Italy and Greece. By exemplifying the principles of classical architecture it became the fundamental architectural handbook for centuries. Alberti, Bramante, Ghiberti, Michelangelo, Vignola, Palladio and many others were directly inspired by Vitruvius" (PMM 26). First published in Rome between 1483 and 1490. The text of this edition is "from the Italian text of the Como edition [1521], edited by Francesco Lutio Durantino. The illustrations are close copies, and follow page by page the arrangement of the 1511 [Venice] edition. The title page border is also from that edition" (Fowler 398). Title page printed in red and black. Opens with 37-page index of terms used in the book. Text in Italian. See Avery 2, PMM 26. Bookplate with deaccession stamp of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; occasional unobtrusive bookstamps throughout. Bookseller ticket. Typed page of bibliographic details tipped to rear pastedown endpaper. Expert paper repairs to title and final leaves. Text very fresh and crisp, with only scattered light foxing throughout. Sound vellum spine aged as expected, with the words "1524 Venice" handwritten at top of spine. Light soiling to paper-covered boards. A remarkable copy of an architectural classic.

"Bulino 1524, datato e monogrammato in lastra in basso al centro. Bellissima prova del primo stato di due e nella sesta variante di sei secondo il Meder, impressa su carta vergata con filigrana Corona Imperiale (Meder 30), con sottilissimi margini, lievi ossidazioni, nel complesso in ottimo stato di conservazione. William Pirckheimer, famoso letterato di Norimberga, era considerato dallimperatore Massimiliano I luomo piu' colto di tutto limpero. Lamicizia tra lui ed il Durer nacque nellinfanzia, quando lartista abitava nella proprieta' del padre di Pirckheimer, facoltoso cittadino di Norimberga. La loro comune esperienza in Italia, consolida lamicizia in eta' adulta, dove, al ritorno a Norimberga, Pirckheimer divenne membro del governo della citta'." Engraving, signed and dated on the plate at the lower centre. A good Meder F impression of the first state (of two). On contemporary paper, with thin margins, in good conditions. William Pirckheimer, famous man of letters of Nuremberg, was cosidered the most learned man in the empire by the Emperor Maximilian I. His friendship with Durer goes back to their childhood, when the artist lived in Pirckheimer's father property, in Nuremberg. Their mutual experience in Italy strengthened their frienship even back in Nuremberg, where Pirckheimer became a member of the city government.

Il Trissino, di fede asburgica, si augurava in quell'occasione che tra Venezia e l'Impero tornasse a regnare la pace.

FONTANUS, Jacobus (Jacobus
|
| First edition of the account of the Ottoman conquest of Rhodes in 1522 De bello Rhodio libri tres Clementi VII Pont. Max. dedicati.
|
Rome, Francesco Minizio Calvo, February 1524.. Folio Nineteenth-century calf decorated in the style of a sixteenth-century binding: blind tooled with fillets, stamps and decorated border, small gilt centre piece and four corner pieces on both sides; leather ties, partly gone. Beautiful architectural title-border decorated with festoons with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, with standing figures of Minerva (left) and Mars (right) and the goddess Roma holding out a globe to the river god of the Tiber within a wreath in the lower register. Four painted decorated initials (seven lines), the first of which with coloured penwork with flowers, extending into the entire left margin. The initials (for the preface and book 1-3), are painted in gold in light-blue, green and pink squares decorated with Italian 'giari bianchi'. (44) lvs. (Collation: A-L4, including the two blanks: A4 and L4).. Rare first edition of the account of the siege and conquest by the Turks of the island Rhodos in 1522 by the lawyer Jacobus Fontanus (Jacobo Fontano; Jacob Fonteyn) from Bruges (d. after 1538), which he dedicated to Pope Clement VII (f. A2r-A3r).The Order of the Knights Hospitaller (Order of St. John, Maltese Knights) had participated in the crusades and in 1309 established itself on the island of Rhodes, which it turned into a bulwark of Christianity in the continued conflict with Islam (from the mid-14th century onward, the Ottoman Empire). Rhodes had withstood Ottoman sieges in 1460 and 1480. Sultan Mehmet II. regarded Rhodes a pirate's nest, and in 1522 Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent dispatched a force reportedly 140,000 men strong, which landed July 28th. The fortress of Rhodes held out for several months; the island, however, proved untenable. Starved, Grand Master Philippe de Villiers de l'Isle Adam surrendered 21 December 1522. On January 1st 1523 the Knights Hospitaller withdrew. In 1530 Emperor Charles V. transferred the island of Malta to the Knights Hospitaller. The recto of f. L3 is blank and the verso contains a note to the reader by Fonteyn attributing errors in printing to an illness of Calvo's while the book was in press. A paragraph of errata follows. Calvo's illness could also account for the errors in estimating text for ff. D4, E4, F4 and K4 where the last few words had to be set in the direction line.Calvo used the beautiful title border - the finest of his border designs (Mortimer) - for the first time in this edition. It is an enlargement of a quarto border: the conception is the same but the border varies in details. Good copy complete with the two blanks, with some sixteenth-century marginal annotations in ink.- (Title shaved at the top, marginal water staining at places (esp. title and first five lvs), two ties lacking) Mortimer, Italian books 194 (with repr. of title which is also shaved); Sander I, 2849 (title: VI, 806: from an other work); A.

ERASMUS VON ROTTERDAM, Desiderius

| Catalogus novus omnium lucubrationu[m] Erasmi Roterodami cum censuris, & digestione singularum in suos tomos.
|
| 8vo (156 x 106 mm). Mit 1 schwarzgrundigen, vierzeiligen Eingangs-Initiale und Holzschnitt-Druckermarke auf Titel sowie ganzseitig auf Schlussblatt verso. [40] Bl. [a-e8]. Halbpergamentband des 18. Jhs. mit pergamentverstärkten Ecken, mit hs. Rückentitel. Basel, Hieronymus Froben, September 1524. Äusserst seltener zweiter Katalog eigener Werke des Erasmus von Rotterdam. Um die Lücken in seiner Sammlung von Erasmus-Schriften zu schliessen, richtete Johannes Botzheims von Konstanz 1522 die Frage an den Humanisten, ob er nicht eine Liste seiner Publikationen erstellen würde. Erasmus entsprach dem Wunsch in einem langen und detaillierten Antwortschreiben, welches von grosser Bedeutung für unsere Kenntnisse zu seinem Leben und Werk ist. Erasmus bietet hier nicht bloss eine Liste, sondern vielmehr eine lebhafte Schilderung der Umstände, in welchen seine Bücher verfasst und gedruckt wurden. Im Vergleich zum ersten Katalog vom April 1523 ist der vorliegende zweite auf mehr als den doppelten Umfang angewachsen. Bemerkenswert ist hier ein eigentlicher "Catalogus", in welchem Erasmus seine Werke in der Ordnung auflistet, in welcher er sie allenfalls nach seinem Tode in einer Gesamtausgabe zusammengestellt haben wollte. Ausserdem findet sich Aktuelles zu theologischen Fragen: so die Kontroverse im Zusammenhang mit den Colloquia sowie seine Stellungnahme gegenüber der Kirche und den Lutheranern. Die im Jahresabstand erfolgte Herausgabe dieses zweiten Katalogs liess wohl die allfällige Befürchtung einer baldigen, nochmals erweiterten Edition und damit neuer Ausgaben aufkommen. In seiner Zuschrift versichert der Verleger Johann Froben dem Käufer aber, dass dank der neuen Form des Katalogs es ihm nun möglich sei, neu erschienene Werke des grossen Humanisten unkompliziert laufend nachzutragen. - Offensichtlich existieren zwei Varianten dieses Drucks, die sich durch einen Fehler im ersten Wort der vierten Zeile des Titels unterscheiden ("ingularum" statt "singularum", wie hier). - Die fliegenden Vorsätze mit Exzerpten zur Biographie des Erasmus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert. - Titel etwas bestaubt, Titelrückseite mit Bibliothekssigel in Tinte, zahlreiche alte Marginalien und Unterstreichungen. Brighton Public Library (Bibliotheksschild und Blindstempel auf Titel und Schlussblatt). Bezzel 308 (und vgl. 307); Rummel/Schrag, The Erasmus Collection in the HAB Wolfenbüttel (2004), 235; VD 16, E-2123/2124; Index Aurel. 162.125; Allen, Opus epistolarum I, 1ff.; Vander Haeghen 27; Ausstellungskat. Erasmus von Rotterdam (Basel, 1986), 55f. und 195, Nr. E 12.3; K. Zickendraht, Der Streit zwischen Erasmus und Luther über die Willensfreiheit (1909), S. 23f. Nicht in De Reuck. Greatly enlarged scarce second edition of Erasmus' Catalogus lucubrationum in which he gives an account with commentary of his own writings and is therefore of greatest value for our knowledge of the Humanist. In 1522 Johann Botzheim of Constance, desirous of filling in the gaps in his collection of Erasmus' writings, asked him if he would not prepare a list of the books he had published. Erasmus complied in a long and detailed letter that is of great importance for our knowledge of his life and works. First published in two variants in April 1523 the author brings this "new catalogue" - "cum censuris" which apparently refers to newly revised earlier apologetic critical writings - up to September 1524 and adds a substantial new section which he arranges under subjects in nine volumes. This new section the printer Johann Froben cites as the justification for this new edition, appearing so shortly after the previous ones, in his address to the reader. New are the author's vindications against those theologians in Paris and Leiden who had spoken against his Colloquia. "This catalogue ... is of the highest importance for the study of Erasmus' life and works" (Allen). - Title and few leaves browned, light small waterstain at head of inne | |
