| Publius Vergilius Maro. Bucolica. Georgica. Aeneis.
|
Limitierte Auflage in 1380 Exemplaren. Bibliotheca Rara: deutscher Kommentarband Antonie Wlosok., Rom / Neapel um 1460 (Faksimile-Nachdruck jüngeren Datums). 552 Seiten im Format 31,5 x 22,2cm, mit 38 Miniaturen, davon 11 ganzseitig. Um sein großartiges Heldenepos, die Aeneis, das er in Neapel begonnen hatte, zu vollenden, unternahm Publius Vergilius Maro, kurz Vergil, eine Studienfahrt nach Griechenland und Kleinasien. Auf der Rückreise mit dem Schiff wurde er krank und verstarb 19 v. Chr. in Brindisi. Von den unter seinem Namen überlieferten Werken sind die Eclogae oder Bucolica, die Georgica und die Aeneis die einzigen Texte, deren Echtheit unumstritten ist. Die Bucolica, die von Theokrits Werk Eidyllia inspiriert wurden, bestehen aus zehn kurzen Gedichten, wobei nur zwei mehr als hundert Verse haben. All diese zeichnen sich mit Ausnahme des vierten Gedichtes durch ihren dyllischbukolischen Charakter aus. Die Georgica, ein Werk von nicht zu übertreffender Schönheit, hatte zum Ziel, dem Herrscher Augustus dabei zu helfen, eine Rückbesinnung auf die Kräfte der Natur zu fördern. Sie ist in vier Bücher unterteilt: Im ersten Buch behandelt Vergil den Ackerbau und schließt einen Landsmannkalender und die Witterungszeichen ein, im zweiten wird die Baumzucht, vor allem der Weinbau dargestellt, im dritten die Viehzucht und im vierten die Apikultur: die Bienenzucht.

AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF WITH ROUNDELS ILLUSTRATING THE LIFE OF ST. ALEXIUS FROM A BOOK OF HOURS IN LATIN.
|
|
|
|
northern France, probably Paris, ca. 1460 Single column 13 lines in a pleasing regular gothic book hand. Attractively matted. WITH ONE HISTORIATED INITIAL in the text a "D" enclosing the face of a young nobleman with long hair the text within a three-sided gilt bar border and THE WHOLE WITHIN A FULL ILLUMINATED BORDER FEATURING CONSIDERABLE BRUSHED AND BURNISHED GOLD and with blue and gold acanthus sprays as well as many hairline stems leaves of various sorts strawberries and other fruit ONE SIDE OF THE LEAF WITH A ROUNDEL SHOWING SAINT ALEXIUS STANDING IN CONVERSATION WITH "CANONICUS" AND THE OTHER SIDE WITH A ROUNDEL SHOWING ALEXIUS AND "CLERICUS" BOTH TALKING ANIMATEDLY WITH THEIR HANDS. One small paint chip gone from the cloak of one figure inside a roundel otherwise IN EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION the gold and paint fresh and sparkling. Our leaf depicts scenes from the life of St. Alexius (or Alexis) whose story is worth recounting. Alexius was a beggar a fifth century man of God in Syriac Edessa but over time legend expanded his identity by acquiring a preface and conclusion set in Rome. As his story evolved Alexius was transformed into the son of the Roman senator Euphemianus who arranged a wealthy marriage for him. But the youth enamored of chastity leaves his bride on their wedding night and sails to the East for a life as a beggar. He returns home after 17 years unrecognized to take up his begging under the outer stairs of his ancestral home on the Aventine Hill (where the church dedicated to him stands today). Neither the stairs nor the marriage bed appears in our illustrations so we conclude that our outdoor scenes are set in Edessa. Alexius in one roundel interacts with a pink-robed cleric ("clericus") against a background of sky grass and gold scrolls while in the other roundel in a setting of hills and trees an ecclesiastic with an elaborate black hat ("canonicus") speaks to the seated Alexius. Our hero is not particularly ragged but his short tunic (even if trimmed in gold) and bare feet indicate that he is a beggar. The extraordinarily lavish and animated full borders and the extensive use of brushed and burnished gold here suggest that this leaf comes from a Book of Hours that was commissioned for a person or persons of high rank since it would have been very costly. Previously in the collection of the late Clark Stillman the manuscript included numerous roundels depicting the lives of St. Catherine and the more obscure St. Alexius and it is possible that the Book of Hours belonged to a husband and wife for whom these saints served as patrons. $3600 [Attributes: Hard Cover]

PERONNE
|
|
|
|
revealing a rich picture of this ancient town in Picardy, apparently assembled by members of the families of Dehaussy de Robecourt and Eudel, lawyers and administrators, and chosen to illustrate various aspects of life there and in the wider Bailliage of Peronne. The oldest are three leaves from the town!s records of 1460-1463, one concerned with placing a patient in the town!s leper hospital. 18th c. legal memoranda include a detailed inventory for probate and sale, with valuations, prices realised, buyers and their occupations; the case of a farmer against his son-in-law for theft of crops and equipment with violence; an order against a notary to maintain his natural son; applications to farm certain lands belonging to the Town!s hospital; a tax case, and a will. Other documents show how public office was regarded as a chattel that could be bequeathed, on suitable payments to the revenue, and how the government charged the holder for an increase in the office!s value. The pedigree of the new Marquis de Feuquieres includes an ancestor killed at Agincourt. On the eve of the revolution, the Three Estates are summoned to prepare their grievances and elect deputies to assemble at Versailles; the Jacobin Club of Paris sends a circular letter protesting at a move by Talleyrand and others, which had particular consequences for the clergy at Peronne; and Dehaussy has to get a 4-side identity document. The revolution also brought in equal inheritance by children. In family letters, M. Eudel describes how his attempt to help his brother-in-law to get round the new rule, and exactions by a revolutionary tribunal, all but caused his ruin. Other pieces include a travelling dentist!s advertisement (c. 1780), the setting up of a vaccination committee (1804), and a call-up notice to defend the town in 1870. Altogether the many names and family relations, and the legal and economic details, are a valuable source for the local historian, and may be followed up in Jules Dournel, Histoire General de Peronne (1879) and Les Mayeurs de Peronne: leurs familles et leurs descendants (1896), also Abbe Paul de Cagny, Histoire de l!Arrondissement de Peronne, 2 vols., 1869, which has a note on the measures of Peronne that occur in these documents.

These last two are particularly interesting. The dispute with Toulouse, son of Louis XIV and Admiral of France, was funded by Eudel (600 livres) and the Damoiselle Eleonnorre Eudel, widow of Charles Fournier (500 livres). Expenses include legal fees and sending the town!s charters to Paris. In the days when people paid to hold public office, the Purse received sums ranging from 6 livres for installing a huissier to 112 for a councillor such as Dehaussy, with 162 for the Lieutenant. Payments were made to the locksmith, fuel merchant, woodworker and plasterer for the Council Chamber.

His brother-in-law Arbellot had been the main beneficiary of Arbellot senior!s will, as was allowed by local custom. When the revolution decreed that all children should share equally, with retrospective effect, the husbands of Arbellot!s three married sisters began to threaten him, so Arbellot followed his late father!s advice and put his estate of La Gasnes in Eudel!s name, with Eudel leaving it in his will back to Arbellot or his heirs. Both had other troubles over this period. Eudel was forced to lend 30,000 francs by a revolutionary court at Limoges, lost his official position almost as soon as he had bought it, made to overstock with tobacco, and the assignats from the sale of his house in Peronne were now worthless. He has in fact survived only with help from Arbellot and one of his sisters. !If you had been in my place, you would have done the same!. 4 sides 9!! x 7!!, Bellac, Haute-Vienne, 17th July 1817.#11;28.

AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF WITH A BEAUTIFUL MINIATURE PAINTING OF THE CORONATION OF THE VIRGIN FROM A BOOK OF HOURS IN LATIN.
|
|
| TEXT FROM THE OPENING OF COMPLINE.
|
Paris, ca. 1460 Single column 13 lines of text in a regular gothic book hand. Attractively matted. Rubrics in red recto featuring two very pretty three-line initials in blue or pink with white tracery on a burnished gold ground and containing scrolling ivy leaves and with the text flanked by rinceaux panel borders the verso WITH A STRIKING MINIATURE PAINTING OF THE CORONATION OF THE VIRGIN within an arched compartment and above three lines of text and a very prominent three-line initial (in the style of those on the recto) the whole surrounded by a very wide full border of swirling ivy leaves on hairline stems acanthus leaves strawberries and other vegetation. Mounting traces on the side without the miniature otherwise IN ESPECIALLY FINE CONDITION THE GOLD SPARKLING and the vellum and paint very clean fresh and bright. Our miniature focuses as it should on the Virgin who kneels full of humility at center left as an angel in white reaches over from behind to settle a crown on her head. God the Father sits on a canopied throne to the right his right arm upraised in blessing his left on the orb in his lap. In the background to the left two delightful young angels hold a very large book and behind them bright orange seraphim watch from a gallery. Everything about this miniature indicates that it comes from a lavish manuscript made for a person of considerable means. It is large for a Book of Hours leaf (especially in terms of its width) and the level of artistry is impressive as we can see for example in the amazing delicacy of the architectural filigree at the top left in the very convincing folds of the garments and in the faces which are subtle and realistic in their detail even under magnification. In terms of style our leaf is reminiscent of both the mainstream Parisian illuminator Maître François whose scenes were frequently dramatic and generally painted in bright colors as well as the Coëtivy Master (about whom see item #42 below). $8500

Aan dat laatste dankt hij de kwalificatie "drekpoëet", voor het eerst door de dichter Pieter Langendijk gebruikt in een grafschrift. Behalve gedichten en rijmen vol "snakery en koddigheit", zoals hij het zelf noemt, heeft Rusting - door Marianne Peereboom omschreven als "een nuchter, pragmatisch en intelligent man" - ook medische onderwerpen behandeld, bijvoorbeeld in 'Nieuwe veld-medicine en chirurgie' (1693). De kennis daarvoor had hij ongetwijfeld opgedaan toen hij als heelmeester diende in het leger van stadhouder Willem III. 'De vol-geestige werken' verschenen aanvankelijk in twee delen bij Jan ten Hoorn in Amsterdam, in 1685 en 1687; in 1693 volgde een tweede druk in één deel en in 1698 verscheen, ook weer bij Ten Hoorn, een nieuw tweede deel, waarvan in ieder geval sommige dichtstukken - 'De kat in 't vagevuur', 'Duvels leven onder de duvelen' en een tweede parodie op de 'Aran en Titus' van Jan Vos - eerder afzonderlijk waren gedrukt. Dit tweede deel is opmerkelijk genoeg nooit meer herdrukt, in tegenstelling tot het eerste deel waarnaar de vraag - ongetwijfeld als gevolg van "de voorliefde onzer vaderen voor vieze grappen, waarbij 'struiven' en 'veesten' de hoofdrollen vervullen" (Frederik Muller) - onverminderd groot bleef: in 1699 bracht Ten Hoorn een derde én een vierde druk op de markt. Deze uitgave uit 1712 bij Van Heekeren en Graal is een titeluitgave van die vierde druk uit 1699.

"Most interesting of all of these is the work of Petrus Galatinus the Franciscan On the Mystery of the Catholic Truth... How shocking to orthodox Jewish minds must have been the catholicity of taste and interest of this master printer [Gerson Soncino] we find among his publications the ancient classics as well as Catholic publications of most unimpeachable orthodoxy, and most remarkable of all the book of Galatinus, which was not only Catholic but distinctly anti-Jewish in purpose, introduced to the public in Hebrew verses by the author or some apostate editor as a book filled with loveliness, expounding the secrets of the Talmud in which may be found the very foundation of Christian Messianism the unity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The desire to find support in the Hebrew books for the doctrine of the Trinity arose out of the spread of Cabalism, a so-called science, through which Jewish mystics attempted to explain the mysteries of heaven and earth, and which had many Christian devotees, among them the famous Cardinal Egidio of Viterbo, who in this very year 1518 had assisted in the establishment of a Hebrew press in the city of Rome" (D.

The plates are preceded by a historical survey of Surinam. According to the text on the title-page, there are one hundred plates (cent dessins ), but the list with illustrations in the book mentions only 99 illustrations, mainly half-page, on 49 plates. It is probable that the full-page lithographed title is included in the cent dessins. The Table des figures and the Table des matières have been bound in, in that order, after the plates.

AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF WITH A VERY FINE MINIATURE DEPICTING THE CRUCIFIXION FROM A BOOK OF HOURS IN LATIN.
|
|
|
|
Paris, ca. 1460-75 A Very Fine Crucifixion by theMost Important Parisian Artist of the Period Single column verso with 12 lines written in a pleasing early bâtarde script. Attractively matted. Verso with one-line brushed gold initials on a blue or red ground line fillers in the same colors and gold and a pretty panel border of flowers leaves and gold ivy on swirling wispy stems RECTO WITH A BEAUTIFULLY REALIZED MINIATURE OF THE CRUCIFIXION an emaciated Christ spilling much blood from wounds at his hands feet head and side the bereft Virgin in prayer at the left consoled by a figure in white partly hidden behind her (apparently St. John); at the right Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus (looking ever so much like 15th century elderly Parisian burghers) along with a contingent of soldiers behind them represented by helmets and six lances the whole set against a verdant backdrop of hills and trees beneath the miniature three lines of text as well as a charming three-line modelled initial enclosing strawberries on a gold ground the whole surrounded by a full border of acanthus other vegetation fruit flowers and a bird taking flight. Just a hint of fading to some of the paint in the panel borders but IN EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION the especially bright and fresh miniature without any paint erosion. The artist has done beautiful work here. The colors are rich and carefully applied; the composition is remarkably successful given the constraints of the scene’s limited space; and there are some lovely touches foremost of which might be the consoling arm supporting the Virgin and the rendering of Christ whose hair on head arms and legs is painted with almost astonishing delicacy and whose torso contours are convincingly depicted with subtle shading. The work is in the style of the celebrated Coëtivy Master. He is understood in Avril & Renaud as being identified with Colin d’Amiens who made a great name for himself in Paris (not as was previously thought with Henri de Vulcop who made a great name for himself in the Loire region). In any case the master takes his name from the Book of Hours (now in the Austrian National Library) that he painted for Olivier de Coëtivy and his wife Marie de Valois one of some 30 works that have been identified as his. Although there is considerable Flemish influence that can be seen in his work (he has links for example with Simon Marmion) Colin d’Amiens was active in Paris during the third quarter of the 15th century and with Barthélmy van Eyck and Jean Fouquet was among the three great artists of this period patronized by the French court (Avril & Renaud says flatly that our master was "the most important artist practicing in Paris in the third quarter of the century from about 1450 to 1485"). For more on the Coëtivy Master see Avril & Reynaud pp 58-69. $9500

FOLLOWER OF GIOVANNI DI PAOLO
|
|
| Large historiated initial (140 x 130mm.) on a full illuminated leaf on vellum, from a Gradual. Italy (?Siena), c.
|
Gold frame enclosing a large initial with a scene of the Virgin lying in state with her arms crossed, attended by a host of saints who include St. Peter reading, St. John carrying a girdle book an another saint holding a holy water stoop, while Christ appears to bear way the Virgin's soul in the form of a baby and to bless his mother's body. Also, saints' emblems and a kneeling figure's hat picked out in burnished gold. Full border on two sides composed of lush acanthus foliage painted in red, green and pink, and with gold bezants. Square musical notation on red 4-line staves, original foliation written in red at top.Size of leaf: 525 x 370mm. 7 lines of interlinear text in a rounded gothic hand, with several headings written in red 1460. A very fine initial painted by an artist from the school of the influential Siennese painter Giovanni di Paolo (c. 1403-1482), and was perhaps a member of the workshop which this artist directed in the province of Pistoia. Giovanni di Paolo was a highly individual artist who developed his own intense approach. He looked back towards the International Gothic style of Gentile da Fabriano, which he distorted for his own purposes: his figures are tortured and chiselled.The historiated initial "G" introduces the introit for the Assumption of the Virgin: "Gaudeamus omnes in domino . . .
