Epictetus.
Arrianou Eriktetos [sic] Arriani Epictetvs
      [from the colophon: Venice: In aedibus Bartholomaei Zanetti Casterzagensis, aere uero, & diligentia Ioannis Francisci Trincaueli, September] 1535. - Epictetus (ca. 55Ðca. 135), the very influential Stoic philosopher, was a slave in the household of Nero, and was given his freedom after the emperorÕs death. Around 93 AD Domitian banished all philosophers from Rome, and ultimately, from Italy, and Epictetus traveled to Nicopolis in Epirus, Greece, where he founded a philosophical school. One of his students was the historian Arrian (ca. 86 - after 146), who took careful notes. Like Socrates, whom he admired, Epictetus wrote nothing for publication. Everything we know of Epictetus comes through ArrianÕs writings, including both the Discourses, based on his lecture notes, and his later summary of EpictetusÕ philosopohy, the Encheiridion. Likewise, Arrian is our greatest source of knowledge of Greek military tactics (Tactica) and our principle source of information about Alexanbder the Great (Anabasis). Vettore Trincavelli (1491-1598) was professor of medicine at the University of Padua. He published a number of medical books in Latin. An eminent Greek scholar, he edited the works of several Greek authors who had never before been translated in their original language, often printed by Bartholomaeus Zanetti. His editions of Themistius, trobaeus, and Hesiod are noteworthy. Octavo. [216] ff., including the blank BB6 and BB7. Woodcut printerÕs device on title and last leaf. Text in Greek letter. Ornamental Greek initials and headpieces. Dedication to Georges de Selve (1506-1541), French ambassador to Venice. Late seventeenth-century mottled calf. Gilt spine, tooled in compartments, gilt borders on covers, green speckled edges. A remarkably fine, clean copy. From the library of the Earl of Macclesfield, with the South Library armorial bookplate and the embossed stamp on the title-page and following leaf. Editio princeps of ArrianÕs four books of the Discourses of Epictetus OCLC records fifteen copies worldwide. North American copies include Duke, Columbia, the Universities of Iowa and Illinois, Northwestern, the University of California at San Diego, and Dalhousie University.Dibdin, 4th edition, Vol. I, p. 328 [Attributes: Hard Cover]

VALERIUS MAXIMUS.
Dictorum ac Factorum Memorabilium libri X] additio indice perbrevi, ceu ad omneis historias asylo tutissimo.WITH: PROBUS, Marcus Valerius.De Scripturis Antiquis Compendiosum Oopusculu(m) [sic].Paris, Simon de Colines, 1527 (colophon: June). 8vo. With Colines' large publisher's device on the title-page. Later (ca. 1700?) richly gold tooled goatskin with ecclesiastical coat of arms (Noyon Cathedral?), gilt edges, marbled endpapers.
      - 235, (9); (27) ll. Adams V-101 & P-2124 (1 copy each); Renouard, Bibl. Colines, pp. 102-103; OCLC (4 & 6 copies); cf. BMC STC French, p. 433 (1535 & 1543 Colines eds.).The first Colines edition of a popular Roman compilation of anecdotes from the first century, meant as an aid for orators. It was one of the first works to come from Colines' newly expanded printing office, set up in 1526, and includes in addition to the usual nine "libri" an abbridgement of the tenth, not included in Aldus's 1514 edition. The various anecdotes are arranged by subject in more than a hundred sections, grouped in nine main chapters, to facilitate the book's use for making speeches and orations. This made it suitable for use in schools, where Valerius's work had been used throughout the Middle Ages. During the Renaiscence it gained more and more popularity as an example of classical rhetoric. Colines reprinted it four times. It is here bound (as intended by the publisher) with Probus's list of abbreviations, including a section on Roman numerals.With extensive contemporary marginal annotations on a few pages, 1811 owner's inscription of J. Gaspard on the title-page and twentieth-century bookplate of Madeleine and René Junod. A very good copy, lacking the final blank leaf. The arms on the back board has been crossed out with a knife, and two small pieces of untooled leather replaced, but the binding is otherwise good. Humanist edition of a classical work of rhetoric, in an ecclesiatical armorial binding.

      ..........Neben Vermeldung Etlicher mehr Garschon Frembden und Auszlandischen Gewachsen. [Itinerary into the Eastern Countries: Syria, Palestine, Armenia, Mesopotamia etc]. Second Expanded Edition. Small Quarto. [xvi], 487 pages. With several wood cuts in text. Period blind stamped full pig skin with two brass clasps. 4 raised bands, a very solid binding. Minor discoloration to front board, otherwise internally clean and bright. Scarce and very well preserved. Rauwolf's famous travel book, describing in detail the peoples, places, trade, religions, customs and political life, as well as the numerous plants of the Near East. It documents very well the difficulties and dangers encountered on early scientific field trips. Rauwolf (1535--96) was an Augsburg physician and a well-known botanist in his time, who corresponded and exchanged plants with Clusius, L'Obel and Camerarius. His private herbarium is now carefully preserved at Leyden, where it ended up at the University after having been owned by Duke William of Bavaria, Queen Christina of Sweden and Isaac Vossius. Rauwolf, who is generally credited with dozens of new discoveries, was the first modern botanist to collect and describe the flora of the regions east of the Levantine coast. The trip lasted almost three years and he visited Tripoli, Aleppo, Bir, Baghdad, Felugia, Urfa, the cedars on the Lebanon mountains, etc. His description of the preparation and drinking of coffee in Aleppo is the first such report by a European. Plumier dedicated a genus of tropical plants to him (Rauwolfia serpentina), now widely used as a tranquilizing agent in the treatment of hypertension and schizophrenia. Bound without the extra botanical wood cuts which are present only in a few copies of this edition. Cox I p.216.

ERASMUS.
Ecclesiastae sive de ratione concionandi libri quatuor, opus recens, nec antehac a quoquam excusum.
      Basel, Froben, 1535. 1535 - Folio, roman letter, woodcut medallion portrait of Erasmus by Hans Holbein, Froben's woodcut device at beginning and end, large and small woodcut initials; a few spots at beginning and end but a fresh, clean copy in German contemporary blind-stamped pigskin-backed wooden boards, decoration to front cover including a lozenge-shaped fleur-de-lys stamp and two crescent man-in-the-moon stamps impressed in black with the date 1537; lower cover with small portion of wooden board broken away at fore-edge, clasps missing. First edition of Erasmus' last and longest work, his treatise on preaching and the office of priest. Erasmus worked on it off and on for twelve years and it reveals him as a deeply religious man. For a folio of 450 pages it enjoyed a wide circulation: within the year there were three additional printings in Antwerp and Basel, and three more before the Opera of 1540. After an initial printing of 2,600 copies, which was quite unusual for the time, "it ran through nine other editions - some authorized, some pirated. It was, without doubt, one of the best sellers of the decade" (O'Malley, 2). O'Malley concludes his study by declaring it "a major monument in the long history and continuing influence of the classical tradition in western culture. Above all, it is a major monument - perhaps the major monument - in the history of sacred rhetoric. Its only rival is the De doctrina christiana of Augustine" (29).Interest in the book was quickened by the Preface, or rather by those paragraphs of it in which Erasmus speaks - his first public reaction - of the deaths of More and Fisher (Erasmus had originally intended to dedicate the book to Fisher): "Goods lost in a shipwreck are mourned for, yet what goods are so precious that they can be compared with a sincere friend? What storm could be crueller than the storm which has robbed me of so many of my friends? - some time ago William Wareham Archbishop of Canterbury, and more recently William Mountjoy, John Fisher Bishop of Rochester, and Thomas More. The last was Lord Chief Justice of his country, his heart whiter than any snow, a genius such as England (certainly not the home of the mediocre) has never had nor will ever have again." (Allen, Ep. 3036)J.W. O'Malley, "Erasmus and the History of Sacred Rhetoric: The Ecclesiastes of 1535", ERSYB 5 (1985) 1-29.

      - Venecia, Nicolo de Aristotele detto Zoppino, 1535. En folio. 122 folios incluyendo bella portada alegórica grabada a dos tintas y 136 ilustraciones por el texto grabadas en madera. Encuadernación del siglo XVIII en pergamino a la romana, lomera con ruedas doradas a modo de nervios y florón dorado en las calles, tejuelo en marroquén con letrería dorada. segunda edición editada por francesco lutio durantino, la tercera en lengua italiana. Esta edición es una reimpresión de la editada por Durantino en 1524, con las mismas láminas, ilustraciones y letras capitulares. La primera edición en italiano fue impresa por Gottardo da Ponte en 1521 y es conocida por el nombre de su editor Cesariano, así como la nuestra es conocida por el de Durantino.La bella portada alegórica está impresa a dos tintas, en rojo y negro; y es de estilo típicamente renacentista; está ilustrada con la figura de Cicero dentro de un medallón en la parte superior y junto a él en actitud militar, Augusto César, Julio César, Alejandro el Grande, y trofeos de guerra. Por el texto se reparten 136 ilustraciones en madera y bellas letras capitulares también grabadas en xilografía. Para ilustrar el libro, el impresor Zoppino utilizó los mismos tacos de madera que se emplearon para la edición de 1524, excepto el que aparece en la hoja con signatura N1, que se grabó de nuevo. Por lo demás todas las ilustraciones son las mismas; estas ilustraciones que aparecen en las ediciones de Durantino están basadas en las que se realizaron para la primera edición ilustrada de Vitruvio, que apareció en latín impresa por Tacuino en 1511; de hecho, la ilustración al verso de N5 tiene la marca de Tacuino y está copiada de la de 1511.El texto de esta traducción al italiano de los textos de Vitruvio es anónima y, en comparación con la traducción empleada para editar la primera edición italiana de 1521, fue completamente revisado y se empleó además un vocabulario diferente. En cuanto a la presentación tipográfica, disposición del texto y de las ilustraciones, las ediciones de Durantino siguen y copian la edición latina de Tacuino de 1511, por lo que también difiere en esto de la primera versión italiana editada por Cesariano en 1521.Bello ejemplar de este apreciado libro. Mínima restauración al pie de la portada sin afectar, ligeras manchas de agua ocasionalmente en los márgenes, pero generalmente limpio.

Pregiata edizione delle vite dei filosofi di Diogene Laerzio. Non ci e' pervenuta alcuna notizia sulla sua vita; il nome Laerzio potrebbe derivare dalla citta' di Laerte, in Cilicia, l'odierna Alanya in Turchia; altri, rifacendosi alla sua biografia ne deducono che egli fosse originario di Nicea; altri ancora, infine, attraverso deduzioni di carattere culturale, pur non pronunciandosi sulla sua origine, ritengono che egli sia prevalentemente vissuto ad Alessandria. Lo si colloca normalmente tra la fine del II secolo e la prima meta' del III, e cio' lo si deduce dalla sua conoscenza di Sesto Empirico, vissuto nella seconda meta' del II secolo d. C., e dalla citazione del filosofo Potamone di Alessandria come vissuto, dice Diogene "poco tempo fa", e operante nei primi anni del III secolo. Diogene non dichiara esplicitamente la sua appartenenza a una determinata scuola filosofica, e tuttavia, dai giudizi espressi in alcune biografie, traspare un'ostilita' verso forme di pensiero superstizioso, la sua simpatia" nei confronti di Epicuro e la sua difesa della scuola cinica. Diogene e' noto come autore della "Raccolta delle vite e delle dottrine dei filosofi", un'opera in dieci libri in cui esamina 83 figure di pensatori, dai Sette Sapienti (si indicano come i sette savi o i sette sapienti, alcune personalita' pubbliche dell'antica Grecia vissute in un periodo compreso tra la fine del VII ed il VI secolo a.C. (tra circa il 620 a.C. ed il 550 a.C.), esaltate dai posteri come modelli di saggezza pratica e autori di massime poste a fondamento della comune sensibilita' culturale greca. Nonostante siano in genere indicati tra i primordi della coscienza speculativa greca, e compaia tra di essi colui che e' solitamente considerato come il primo filosofo, Talete di Mileto, non tutti sono da considerarsi pienamente filosofi, poiche' il loro interesse e' principalmente rivolto alla condotta pratica e non alla speculazione) a Epicuro (al quale e' interamente dedicato il capitolo decimo (Diogene parla di Epicurea con una trasparente simpatia che lo ha fatto considerare un suo seguace; ne narra la vita, i suoi rapporti con Anassagora, Archelao, Nausifane e Senocrate, ne elenca le opere, e considera la divisione dell'epicureismo in filosofia canonica, fisica ed etica). In ogni caso, Diogene rivendica ai greci l'origine della filosofia e dove dispone le informazioni per scuole filosofiche, rispettando le successioni dei capi delle scuole filosofiche fissate dalla tradizione. La raccolta ci e' giunta mutila, in quanto il VII libro, dedicato agli Stoici, si interrompe bruscamente a meta' del catalogo degli scritti di Crisippo; del resto, da indici manoscritti, sappiamo che Diogene proseguiva la trattazione dello stoicismo almeno fino a Posidonio. L'opera e' dedicata a una signora, "che apprezza Platone", ma che non e' stata identificata, in quanto probabilmente le era dedicata l'opera: la dedica non e' pervenuta o, piu' probabilmente, non fu mai scritta, anche perche' l'opera mostra anche altrove segni di incompletezza. Seguendo un costume diffuso, Diogene compose anche una raccolta di epigrammi, "Pammetros" (Raccolta in tutti i metri), di cui restano 56 componimenti, da lui stesso inclusi nelle sue "Vite", senza particolare valore artistico ma di buona eleganza formale e metrica. Lo schema abituale usato da Diogene nel trattare di ciascun filosofo consiste in una biografia, spesso aneddotica, di una serie di m

Vehe, Michael.
Errettung der beschüldigten Kelchdyeb von newen Bugenhagischen galgen.
      (Leipzig, Melchior Lotter, 1535). - (190) SS. (ohne das l. w. Bl.). Schöne architektonische Holzschnittbordüre; einige figurale Holzschnittinitialen. Schwarzer Pappband um 1830. 4to. Erste Ausgabe; eine Entgegnung auf Bugenhagens "Wider die Kelchdiebe" (1532), im protestantisch-katholischen Streit um die Darreichung des Laienkelches. Die Vorrede ist datiert Halle, den 10. November 1532; jedoch wurde die Schrift erst drei Jahre später in Druck gegeben. - Der Biberacher Dominikaner Vehe (um 1490-1539) wurde 1513 in Heidelberg zum Doktor der Theologie promoviert; zwei Jahre später wurde er Prior des dortigen Dominikanerkonvents. 1530 zum Propst des Stiftes "Ad velum aureum" zu Halle ernannt, verteidigte er als Inquisitor die katholische Lehre in mehreren wichtigen Streitschriften, die Ignatius Smith als "the best apologetical treatises that appeared in Germany during the sixteenth century" bezeichnet (in: Catholic Encylopaedia, Bd. 15, s. v.) und zu denen die vorliegende Schrift gezählt wird. Veesenmeyer lobt, sie seien "in einem so guten Deutsch und, was nicht minder löblich ist, in einem so glimpflichen Ausdruck abgefaßt, wie man ihn nur selten, besonders in polemischen Schriften der damaligen Zeit, findet" (zit. n. Wetzer/W. 12, 646). - Durchgehend mit hübschen, zeitgenöss. Marginalien; am Titel zeitgenöss. Notiz von anderer Hand: "Daß ist, Defendirung des Satzung der catholisch Kirch, Krafft welcher der Laien der Kelch nicht gereicht wird" und eigenh. Besitzvermerk des amerikanischen Theologen und Schulmanns Howard Osgood (1831-1911) sowie seinem Schenkungsvermerk "From W. T. Wardnell [?] 1867" am vorderen Innendeckel. Am Titel ferner Blindstempel der "Rochester Theol. Seminary Library - Rockefeller Fund" (ausgeschieden). - Einband etwas berieben, sonst sauberes, breitrandiges Exemplar. Recht selten: lt.

Epictetus
Arrianou Eriktetos [Sic] Arriani Epictetvs
      In aedibus Bartholomaei Zanetti Casterzagensis, aere uero, & diligentia, September] 1535. A remarkably fine, clean copy. From the library of the Earl of Macclesfield, with the South Library armorial bookplate and the embossed stamp on the title-page and following leaf. Octavo. [216] ff., including the blank BB6 and BB7. Woodcut printer's device on title and last leaf. Text in Greek letter. Ornamental Greek initials and headpieces. Dedication to Georges de Selve (1506-1541), French ambassador to Venice. Epictetus (ca. 55&endash; ca. 135), the very influential Stoic philosopher, was a slave in the household of Nero, and was given his freedom after the emperor's death. Around 93 AD Domitian banished all philosophers from Rome, and ultimately, from Italy, and Epictetus traveled to Nicopolis in Epirus, Greece, where he founded a philosophical school. One of his students was the historian Arrian (ca. 86-after 146), who took careful notes. Like Socrates, whom he admired, Epictetus wrote nothing for publication. Everything we know of Epictetus comes through Arrian's writings, including both the Discourses, based on his lecture notes, and his later summary of Epictetus' philosopohy, the Encheiridion. Likewise, Arrian is our greatest source of knowledge of Greek military tactics (Tactica) and our principle source of information about Alexanbder the Great (Anabasis). Vettore Trincavelli (1491-1598) was professor of medicine at the University of Padua. He published a number of medical books in Latin. An eminent Greek scholar, he edited the works of several Greek authors who had never before been translated in their original language, often printed by Bartholomaeus Zanetti. His editions of Themistius, trobaeus, and Hesiod are noteworthy. OCLC records fifteen copies worldwide. North American copies include Duke, Columbia, the Universities of Iowa and Illinois, Northwestern, the University of California at San Diego, and Dalhousie University. Dibdin, 4th edition, Vol. I, p. 328.
