(51) pp. BMC STC Dutch, p. 39; Typ. Batava 5943 (7 copies?); NCC (1 copy); STCN (3 copies?); not in Adams; Bibl. Belg. A proclamation by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and his son, the future King Phillip II of Spain, made at Louvain on 5 July 1549 and containing fifty-eight articles reaffirming the rights and privileges of the province of Brabant, establishing an advisory council there, and regulating many other matters. Brabant was the first province in their official visit to present Phillip as Charles’s successor to the Habsburg dominions in the Low Countries. They visited more than forty cities in both North and South, including Brussels, Louvain and Waver in Brabant. Added at the end are Charles V’s proclamations made at Ghent on 12 April 1515 and Bruges on 26 April 1515, when he first came of age. In 1565, as the Low Countries headed toward their revolt against Habsburg Spain, these official declarations of their rights became very topical. The arms at the end bear the biblical motto "Sicut Lilium Inter Spinas" (as a lily among thorns), illustrated on the shield and alluding to the virgin Mary, and at the top "V[erbum] D[ei] M[anet in] Æ[ternum] (the word of God endureth forever), used by the Duke of Saxony and Landgrave of Hesse.Hirtzhorn, a printer of Dutch books at Cologne, had printed the 1549 proclamation in 1564, his first recorded imprint, and here for the first time added the two proclamations of 1515. Our copy matches the descriptions in Typ. Batava and the STCN, but at least the Leiden copy recorded there seems to be a different edition. The catalogue of the Leiden University Library gives an alternative title with some dozen variant spellings, and the catalogue of the Catholic University in Tilburg lists one copy of each title, KOD 030 A 43 matching ours and TFH A 7176 matching the Leiden description.With a flourished contemporary owner’s signature (“X. Roe...”?)on the title-page and occasional contemporary corrections and underlining. In very good condition, with generous margins and only a light water stain at the head throughout. A rare Brabant imperial proclamation, printed at Cologne.

| Paris, [Guillaume Prevost, for] the widow of Arnold Birckmann, 1549. 16mo., ff. [1] 2-248; [1] 2-165 [1], two parts with separate title-pages, woodcut Birckmann device on title-pages and verso of final leaf; clean tear in first title-page neatly repaired, some light browning or spotting, but a good copy in the original limp vellum, overlapping fore-edges. A rare pocket format Greek New Testament finely printed in Paris for the Widow of the Cologne printer Arnold Birckmann and retaining its original limp vellum interim shop binding. Textually it follows Robert Estienne's O Mirificam edition of 1546, with a few variations. Prevost's elegant minute types are close copies of Estienne's celebrated 'grecs du roi'. Arnold Birckmann seems to have died some time in 1547 and only a handful of imprints bearing his widow's name alone appeared before the 'Heirs' took over in the early 1550s. With the 17th century ownership inscription of 'Joannes Baptiste Ginis de Launeo'.

- 86, (9) pp. Cat. Bibl. Rijksmuseum II, p. 412 (engr. portrait); Simoni S-225 (woodcut portrait); NCC (6 copies); STCN (7 copies); NNWB V, cols. 1350-1352; no early ed. in OCLC WorldCat. The rare second edition (published one year after the smaller format first edition by the same publisher and printer) of the Hart-Spieghel, a posthumously published libertine didactic poem of which only seven of the nine books (one devoted to each of the nine muses) were completed. The most important work of the Catholic humanist Spieghel (1549-1612), it is written in alexandrines, discusses sin, guilt and free will, and defends the notion of virtue as its own reward. This was Spieghel's motto, and appears in a four-line verse under the title-page woodcut of Arion playing a harp while riding a dolphin. The seven books of the "Hart-Spieghel" are followed by two additional poems, "Wterste-Wil, ofte Vaderlijke Vermaning" and "A.B.C. Ketting-Lied op des Achsten Psalms stem", the latter with 25 verses, one for each letter of the alphabet (I = J). There are two issues of the present edition, the present with the woodcut portrait by Christoffel van Sichem (Van Someren, Portretten 5244, not in Muller, Portretten, cf. 5080-5083) seems to be rarer than the other with an engraved portrait by Jan Muller. The publisher's address is now "Stin Jans-straet" instead of the 1614 "Kalverstraet." Copy from the library of M. Buisman, with his 1937 signature on flylear. Good copy, a bit browned; spine defective. Rare second edition of an important poem.

Printed in parallel columns of Greek and Latin, woodcut initials, printer's device to last page, small woodcut map of the Nile and Libya inset on page 782, with blank leaf (a4) called for in Adams. Bound in a lovely period full embossed pigskin binding. Near Fine condition. This scholarly edition of Strabo's famous text brought together the fifteenth-century translation skills of Guarino Veronese and Gregorio Tifernate, the philological expertise of Marcus Hopper (d. 1564), and the classical erudition of Conrad Heresbach (1496-1576). Hopper was known as a Renaissance linguist, publishing his Latin-Greek dictionary in 1563 through the imprint of Heinrich Petri. Heresbach, an international diplomat and jurisconsult, retired from court life to pursue his true vocation, the study of classical literature. Strabo was a Greek historian, geographer and philosopher, known primarily for his seventeen volume work, Geographica, which presented a descriptive history of people and places, encylopedic in breadth.

|
- Fine large woodcut device of Poncet le Preux. Folio. [4]ff. 75pp. Early 20th century morocco backed marbled boards. 1549). Rare first edition of these commentaries on the Song of Songs and the Apocalypse. Anselm of Laon (d. 1117) was one of the most famous theologians of the Middle Ages who was known from his great learning as Doctor Scholasticus. He was educated at the abbey of Bee in Normandy under St. Anselm of Canterbury who acquainted him with the new scholastic theology. From 1076 he taught at Paris, and co-operated with William of Champeaux in establishing the university there. At the end of the 11th century he set up a theological school at Laon which became so famous that Peter Abelard moved there in order to study under him. Anselm's main work is the Glossa Interlinearis, a commentary on the Vulgate and was one of the two chief exegetical works of the Middle Ages; the other was the Glossa Ordinaria of Walafrid Strabo. A little very light staining, but generally an excellent copy. OCLC (National Library of Sweden and the universities of Tilburg and Utrecht in the Netherlands only).

The second known surviving copy of the 1580 editions of Neffe's two famous complementary woodcut writing books (the first in German and the second in Latin), including 4 pages printed from blocks additional to those of the first editions of 1549. The first editions are usually in portrait format with two blocks printed on the recto of each leaf, with the most complete copies containing 22 leaves (44 blocks) for both works together. Their original woodblocks continued to be used for the later editions, but the second edition of 1558 added 4 new blocks with additional writing samples for the German book. These two editions were published by Caspar Volpius. The 30 pages of writing samples in the Schatzkamer show German texts in a wide variety of hands, while the 14 of the Thesaurarium show texts in various languages and hands. Some leaves include an alphabet below the sample. Neff's writing books were among the earliest and most important to be published in Germany, Johann Neudörffer being his only major predecessor. Six copies of the first edition are known (though at least three apparently show 42 rather than 44 blocks). The five later editions with additional blocks are rarer, with only one or two known copies of each (nine copies in total, including at least three apparently incomplete). Until recently the present edition was known only from a mention in Deutschen Kunstblatt, 1853, no. 6, p. 51.Neffe (active ca. 1545-1558), born in Silesia, worked in Cologne as a calligrapher and schoolmaster. He must have been an outspoken Reformed Christian, for he is one of the few people who had to leave liberal Cologne for reasons of religion. Caspar Vopel or Vopelius (1511-1561), professor of mathematics at Montan Gymnasium in Cologne, globe maker and cartographer, probably cut the woodblocks or had them cut by whoever cut those for his maps and globes, for the first edition says "in costen und verlach Casparis Vopelii," and the 1571 edition says "in verlegung Casparis Vopelii außgeschniden unnd in Druck gestalt." The present 1580 edition repeats the notice that the blocks were cut "in verlegung Casparis Vopelii." The 1571, 1576 and 1580 editions were published by Thomas von Wierdt. Vopel's woodblocks finally descended to the Cologne printer Wilhelm Lützenkirchen, who published a new edition in 1594. The copy at Amsterdam has 49 (of 52) blocks, but we understand there may be a complete copy in Dresden. Some woodblocks were modified over the years, with the 1549 date removed from the original Schatzkamer title-page. At least in the editions from 1571 and later, including the present, letterpress imprints were added to some of the preliminary leaves, in the present case to the Schatzkamer title-page and both frontispieces. We thank Peter H. Meurer for information.With a 1593 inscription on the first title-page, contemporary manuscript calligraphic examples on the reverse of some leaves (showing an extremely skilful hand), and the early nineteenth-century letterpress bookplates of Edward Lloyd (ca. 1785?-ca. 1857?) of Rhagatt Hall, near Carrog, Corwen parish, Wales. With tears or chips in the Schatzkamer title-page and a few other leaves (some repaired), but still in good condition, with only minor water stains and foxing.

Cosimo I de' Medici (1519 – 1574) was Duke of Florence from 1537 to 1574, reigning as the first Grand Duke of Tuscany from 1569. Cosimo came to power when he was only 17 after the assasination of Duke Alessandro de' Medici in 1537. Cosimo was an authoritary ruler: in order to counter plots, he created for himself a Guard of Swiss mercenaries. In 1548 he managed to have his relative Lorenzino, the last Medici claimant to Florence, assassinated in Venice, just a year before the present letter 1 page letter written in brown ink on paper (10 lines plus signature), with conjugate leaf blank save for the name of recipient and remant of red seal §

John Daye and William Seres, London: [1549]. - 8vo. 2 volumes in 1. A-D8; A-2E8, lacking Ee1 [supplied in facsimile on old paper] and blanks Ee 7 & 8. [32]; 213 (of 216)ff. Modern calf decorated in blind,early notes in manuscript on a leaf inserted after the endpaper in rear. Light dampstains, small wormhole in right margin, old note on verso of last leaf with small repaired marginal tear,D4 torn in one margin with loss to side-note, rear inner hinge cracked. T.p.s in woodcut surround, full-page woodcut arms on verso of t.p., decorated initials. Rare first editions of both parts. Latimer, Hugh (c.1485Ð1555), bishop of Worcester, preacher, and protestant martyr. "For the first three Lents of Edward VI's reign Latimer appeared before the court in the outdoor pulpit at Westminster. Now he had old scores to settle and new agendas to pursue. He was a merciless opponent. Although he advocated the removal of those bishops who refused to put aside the doctrine of the real presence, including Nicholas Heath of Worcester, heavy allusions to his surrender of Ômine officeÕ did not result in his restitution once Heath was deprived in October 1551 (Sermons, 135Ð6). He delivered a shocking series of philippics in 1549 against Thomas Seymour, brother of Protector Somerset, which were unparalleled for their vitriol. He endorsed Seymour's execution, and after the axe fell declared that he had died unrepentant, and ÔhorriblyÕ. Further, Latimer said that Seymour had been responsible for the seduction of a poor woman that had led her to a criminal life and the gibbet. Seymour was Ôthe author of all this woman's whoredomÕ (ibid., 161Ð4). These pronouncements caused great offence and Latimer remained a contentious court preacher to the last."[Oxford DNB]"It was, however, the preaching of Latimer more than the edicts of Henry that established the principles of the Reformation in the minds and hearts of the people; and from his preaching the movement received its chief colour and complexion. The sermons of Latimer possess a combination of qualities which constitute them unique examples of that species of literature. It is possible to learn from them more regarding the social and political condition of the period than perhaps from any other source, for they abound, not only in exposures of religious abuses, and of the prevailing corruptions of society, but in references to many varieties of social injustice and unwise customs, in racy sketches of character, and in vivid pictures of special features of the time, occasionally illustrated by interesting incidents in his own life. The homely terseness of his style, his abounding humour - rough, cheery and playful, but irresistible in its simplicity, and occasionally displaying sudden and dangerous barbs of satire - his avoidance of dogmatic subtleties, his noble advocacy of practical righteousness, his bold and open denunciation of the oppression practised by the powerful, his scathing diatribes against ecclesiastical hypocrisy, the transparent honesty of his fervent zeal, tempered by sagacious moderation - these are the qualities which not only rendered his influence so paramount in his lifetime, but have transmitted his memory to posterity as perhaps that of the one among his contemporaries most worthy of our interest and admiration."

Lugduni: apud Seb. Gryphium, 1549. - ¦ Later Gryphius edition of this practical manual, originally published at Venice in 1472. While drawing from various Roman and Greek agricultural writers, Palladius (4th-cent. A.D.) continually quotes from personal experience, derived from his estates in Italy and Sardinia, especially in matters of climatic and soil variations. The introductory book is followed by twelve more, one for each month of the year, concluding with an appedix in verse on the grafting of trees. Medieval scholars found him useful, notably Albertus MagnusÓ (OCD), and a unique manuscript translation into Middle English, produced around 1420, was preserved at Colchester Castle. Adams P-112. 8vo, 184, (8)pp, fine woodcut printer's device verso final leaf. Modern period-style vellum with aged patina, yapp edges, manuscript title at cocked spine, occasional early marginalia and neat underlinings in text, extensive early notations at final 4 (index) leaves, faint marginal dampstain at final 20 leaves, otherwise a very good copy.

The second known surviving copy of the 1580 editions of Neffe's two famous complementary woodcut writing books (the first in German and the second in Latin), including 4 pages printed from blocks additional to those of the first editions of 1549. The first editions are usually in portrait format with two blocks printed on the recto of each leaf, with the most complete copies containing 22 leaves (44 blocks) for both works together. Their original woodblocks continued to be used for the later editions, but the second edition of 1558 added 4 new blocks with additional writing samples for the German book. These two editions were published by Caspar Volpius. The 30 pages of writing samples in the Schatzkamer show German texts in a wide variety of hands, while the 14 of the Thesaurarium show texts in various languages and hands. Some leaves include an alphabet below the sample. Neff's writing books were among the earliest and most important to be published in Germany, Johann Neudörffer being his only major predecessor. Six copies of the first edition are known (though at least three apparently show 42 rather than 44 blocks). The five later editions with additional blocks are rarer, with only one or two known copies of each (nine copies in total, including at least three apparently incomplete). Until recently the present edition was known only from a mention in Deutschen Kunstblatt , 1853, no. 6, p. 51.Neffe (active ca. 1545-1558), born in Silesia, worked in Cologne as a calligrapher and schoolmaster. He must have been an outspoken Reformed Christian, for he is one of the few people who had to leave liberal Cologne for reasons of religion. Caspar Vopel or Vopelius (1511-1561), professor of mathematics at Montan Gymnasium in Cologne, globe maker and cartographer, probably cut the woodblocks or had them cut by whoever cut those for his maps and globes, for the first edition says "in costen und verlach Casparis Vopelii," and the 1571 edition says "in verlegung Casparis Vopelii außgeschniden unnd in Druck gestalt." The present 1580 edition repeats the notice that the blocks were cut "in verlegung Casparis Vopelii." The 1571, 1576 and 1580 editions were published by Thomas von Wierdt. Vopel's woodblocks finally descended to the Cologne printer Wilhelm Lützenkirchen, who published a new edition in 1594. The copy at Amsterdam has 49 (of 52) blocks, but we understand there may be a complete copy in Dresden. Some woodblocks were modified over the years, with the 1549 date removed from the original Schatzkamer title-page. At least in the editions from 1571 and later, including the present, letterpress imprints were added to some of the preliminary leaves, in the present case to the Schatzkamer title-page and both frontispieces. We thank Peter H. Meurer for information.With a 1593 inscription on the first title-page, contemporary manuscript calligraphic examples on the reverse of some leaves (showing an extremely skilful hand), and the early nineteenth-century letterpress bookplates of Edward Lloyd (ca. 1785?-ca. 1857?) of Rhagatt Hall, near Carrog, Corwen parish, Wales. With tears or chips in the Schatzkamer title-page and a few other leaves (some repaired), but still in good condition, with only minor water stains and foxing. The second recorded copy of the 1580 edition, with 4 leaves added since the first edition: one of the most important writing books of all time.

|
Exeter Press Ltd. PLEASE NOTE that we do not offer expedited shipping. Orders placed with the priority shipping option will automatically be canceled. Circled with Stone is the most comprehensive study to date of the fortifications of an early modern English city. The culmination of some twenty years of archaeological and documentary research, it provides a richly detailed portrait of the ancient system of walls, towers and gates which ringed the city of Exeter during the Tudor and early Stuart periods. The book traces the development of the fortifications over time, explores the many purposes which they served, and shows how they were defended against a series of major attacks: most notably during the Prayer Book rebellion of 1549 and the English Civil War. The text is accompanied by a series of extensive transcripts from Exeter's matchless civic archives, including two newly-discovered documents relating to the Prayer Book rebellion. The book includes a wealth of illustrations and brings together, for the very first time, colour reproductions of all the early maps of Exeter, as well as a series of specially commissioned photographs of the city walls today. Designed to be accessible to the general reader, as well as to the specialist, Circled with Stone paints a uniquely vivid picture of the role which urban fortifications played in everyday life in one of early modern England's greatest cities.

|
Fine large woodcut device of Poncet le Preux.Folio. [4]ff. 75pp. Early 20th century morocco backed marbled boards. 1549). Rare first edition of these commentaries on the Song of Songs and the Apocalypse.Anselm of Laon (d. 1117) was one of the most famous theologians of the Middle Ages who was known from his great learning as Doctor Scholasticus. He was educated at the abbey of Bee in Normandy under St. Anselm of Canterbury who acquainted him with the new scholastic theology. From 1076 he taught at Paris, and co-operated with William of Champeaux in establishing the university there. At the end of the 11th century he set up a theological school at Laon which became so famous that Peter Abelard moved there in order to study under him. Anselm's main work is the Glossa Interlinearis, a commentary on the Vulgate and was one of the two chief exegetical works of the Middle Ages; the other was the Glossa Ordinaria of Walafrid Strabo.A little very light staining, but generally an excellent copy.OCLC (National Library of Sweden and the universities of Tilburg and Utrecht in the Netherlands only).

| Les 10 Derniers Livres Des Antiquités Juives
|
- Ce livre est la seconde partie des "Antiquités juives". La première partie a été publiée 2 ans plus tôt. In Venigia, A presso Baldassar Costantini al Segno di. S. Giorgio, 1549. Murray cite une édition de 1612 et Graesse une autre 1564. Texte en Italien du 16e. Format : 11 sur 15 cm. 299 pages. Reliure en parchemin, restauration ancienne sur le dos et sur une partie des plats, titre manuscrit au dos, frontispice restauré avec marque typographique répétée en dernière page, belles lettrines dorées. Trou de vers en marge basse des 9 premiers feuillets, sans atteinte au texte. Bel exemplaire malgré les défauts cités. Après l'Histoire des juifs, « Les Antiquités juives » est une des oeuvres les plus célèbres de ce soldat, diplomate à la cour de Néron, commandant en tête en Galilée, médiateur entre judaïsme et paganisme, romain citadin, fils adoptif de Vespasien. Les "Antiquités juives" relatent l'histoire des Juifs depuis Abraham. Extrait de l'Encyclopédie Universalis : À sa naissance (an 1 du règne de Caligula), il reçut le prénom de Joseph et le patronyme de ben Mattithiahu (fils de Mathias), auquel il pouvait adjoindre ha-Cohen (le prêtre) puisqu'il appartenait à une très noble lignée sacerdotale. Son éducation fut centrée sur l'étude sacrée. À treize ans, il était en mesure d'interpréter les textes pour des prêtres ou des notables moins savants. En un temps où le judaïsme était divisé en trois principaux courants : sadducéen, pharisien, essénien, il s'intéressa à chacun d'eux avant d'opter pour le courant pharisien. C'est sans doute à la demande de Vespasien que Josèphe écrivit son Histoire de la guerre des Juifs contre les Romains. Il entreprit d'écrire toute l'histoire de son peuple depuis les origines jusqu'à la veille du conflit avec Rome, dans un vaste ouvrage en vingt livres, LES ANTIQUITÉS JUIVES. Il s'agissait de démontrer que ce peuple vaincu et donc décrié était d'une très haute antiquité (ce qui était synonyme de noblesse) et possédait de grands hommes. Dans la première partie (I à X), Josèphe suit de près les récits bibliques, mais les modifications qu'il y apporte laissent entrevoir l'apport de toute une tradition orale, que l'on retrouve plus tard dans le midrash. On y décèle également quelques explications rationalistes (par exemple à propos du passage de la mer Rouge) destinées à son public romain ou grec. Dans la seconde partie (XI à XX), qui correspond pour l'auteur à de l'histoire moderne et contemporaine, il suit d'abord le livre I des Maccabées, puis il développe le règne des derniers Hasmonéens, celui d'Hérode, l'ère des procurateurs dont il avait été question plus brièvement au début de La Guerre. Sur cette période, il est notre seule source, ce qui explique l'importance historique de son oeuvre. Au chapitre XVIII des Antiquités apparaît un bref passage relatif à Jésus connu sous le nom de Testimonium Flavianum. C'est à lui sans doute que l'oeuvre de Josèphe doit sa survie, puisque l'Église a pu la considérer de ce fait comme une sorte de « cinquième Évangile ». Cependant, il ne fait aucun doute aujourd'hui que ce passage (comme on a commencé à le soupçonner dès le XVIe siècle) constitue, sinon dans sa totalité, du moins partiellement, une interpolation due à une main pieuse. D'abord encensée par l'Église, son oeuvre fut remise en question par certains théologiens, catholiques notamment, en raison de ses divergences avec les récits évangéliques (dates du règne d'Hérode, du recensement de Quirinius, absence de mention du massacre des Innocents, cause de la mise à mort de Jean-Baptiste).

La veufue Arnold Byrkman, 1549. Very Good 8vo. (16.4 x 10 cm) Bound in 17th century vellum with period endpapers. Collation: viii [16], 1-520 p. (p.387/388 supplied in facsimile). Includes 519 woodblock prints. Small circular institutional stamp (Maison de Poesis Fondation Blemont) on title page and several other pages, ca. 3 more. All 517 woodcuts have images with early coloring, many of the roots left uncolored. The plants depicted on facsimile pages in modern color. Text and plates generally good with occasional foxing spot. There was some tight trimming when the book was rebound that shaves close to text at the fore edge of several pages without apparent loss. This is a very rare copy made even more so with any coloring of woodcut images. Each page has a woodblock of the plant toward the gutter and text at the fore edge. However, because of prior trimming portions of letters on the fore edge are slightly affected. The text, however, is present and readable. There is ink marginalia in Index (iiii) which corrects errors in assigned pages for several plants and corrections of page numbers for p. 330, 331, 334, 335, 340, 348, 349, and 352. Three plants (517, 518, 519) not depicted in any of the Basel editions. This is only 8vo. Illustrated edition with a French translation with format of “three additional plants and much-abridged text (placed in the margins next to the figures) dealing with the medicinal properties (extraict de leurs vertuz) of the plants. ” (Meyer). Only two libraries listed in OCLC holding this title.
