LOUIS XI (1423-1483), roi de France (1461-1483).
Lettre signée
|
- Lettre signée « Loys » au bailli et aux quatre gouverneurs d'.pinal. Louviers, 2 janvier [1467]. Inscription postérieure au dos. Très rare ordre de protéger l'un des exécuteurs testamentaires du poète François Villon (1431-1463). Le poète dans son Testament poétique (écrit en 1461-1462), institue ironiquement « directeurs » de l'ordonnancement de ses funérailles des hommes riches et puissants de son temps, dont à la strophe 182 « maistre Martin Bellefaye », cité dans la lettre. Ce dernier fut avocat au Châtelet en 1454 et conseiller au parlement à partir de 1462. La présente lettre réunit les noms de deux personnes ayant joué un rôle important dans la vie de François Villon : Louis XI, qui le fit libérer de la prison de Meung-sur-Loire en 1461 et Martin de Bellefaye qui a participé en 1462 à sa condamnation à la pendaison (cette peine ayant été commuée en bannissement en janvier 1463). « (.) Nous envoions à Espinal nostre amé et feal conseillier en nostre court de parlement à Paris maistre Martin de Bellefaye pour les causes lesquelles luy avons chargié vous communiquer. Si le vueillez croire de ce qu'il vous dira de par nous, et avec ce l'acompaignez, le conseillez et aidez en tout ce dont il vous requerra, et le gardez de toutes oppressions, violences & voyes de fait, et luy faites obeyr comme feriez à nous mesmes (.) »

Peres Fobes, LLD. Pastor of the church in Raynham.

Usual tanning, scattered foxing, else very good. Evans 30432, AAS only. Alden 1467. ESTC W20480. NAIP t059053. OCLC records only one physical copy at LC. Two other physical copies possibly at AAS and British Library. Peres Fobes or Perez Fobes (1742-1812) was a minister of Raynham, Massachusetts. Fobes is perhaps best known for his association with his daughter Molly Wales Fobes (1772-1801) who married the Rev. Elijah Leonard (1760–1834), a Congregational minister. Molly’s wedding engagement is richly visualized in the famous American folk art painting, ca. 1790, held at the Met entitled, "Lady with Her Pets (Molly Wales Fobes)." Fobes, a Harvard graduate, was a zealot patriot who volunteered to serve as chaplain for the Continental troops. After the war, Fobes served for a short time as Vice President of Brown University and was associated with the university in other capacities. Fobes did not remove to Providence, but traveled from Raynham to deliver his sermons and lectures. [Ref.

Genazzano
Madonna del Buon Consiglio

Stampa popolare originale 3773 - VERA EFFIGIES B.M. VIRGINIS DE GENEZZANO DICTA BONI CONSILII Prima metà del XIII° secoloDalla biografia tratta dalla Roma misteriosa di Massimiliano Liverotti Nel Santuario della Madonna del Buon Consiglio di Genazzano, la cui costruzione risale al XIII secolo, è conservato un piccolo Affresco della Vergine che sembra sia apparso improvvisamente il 25 aprile 1467, giorno della festa di San Marco. Diverse persone assistettero al miracolo. La popolazione si commosse per questo fatto che è narrato nel Codice dei miracoli operati dalla Vergine e da un testo del 1471 ad opera di uno dei testimoni dell?incredibile evento: il padre agostiniano Ambrogio Da Cori. Questo miracolo fu infatti il primo di una lunga serie. Secondo la tradizione del luogo l?affresco sarebbe stato trasportato dagli angeli per volere della stessa Vergine Maria. Sembra, inoltre che, al momento della comparsa dell?opera, la campana della chiesa si sia messa a suonare spontaneamente, come se volesse richiamare l?attenzione della gente all?evento appena successo. Pare, inoltre, che due pellegrini albanesi di nome Giorgi e De Sclavis avrebbero testimoniato l?improvvisa sparizione della stessa opera mentre la stavano contemplando nel santuario di Scutari in Albania. I due pellegrini raccontarono anche di essere stati esortati dalla Madonna a seguire la sua immagine con un viaggio prodigioso durante il quale avrebbero addirittura attraversato il mare a piedi. Il fatto sarebbe avvenuto poco prima che il santuario di Scutari finisse nelle mani dei Turchi. Ancora oggi la tradizione di questo miracolo è viva anche tra gli albanesi che vengono pellegrini al santuario per pregare Maria con l?antico titolo di ?Signora d?Albania? stampa popolare incisione su rame coloritura d'epoca. i vari restauri sono visibili in controluce misura cm 51 x 40coloritura d'epoca - cm 51 x 40.

Chrysostomus, Johannes, Saint
De Reparatione Lapsi. [Crisostomus De Reparat(I)One Lapsi Ad Amanticu(M) Lapsum. ]
|
[Ulrich Zell, ], [1467-1472. ]. 4to. [a-e8. ] 40 leaves. Modern limp vellum, using old vellum, with title in ms on cover; edges speckled red. Fine copy. Housed in morooco backed folding box. ] Though it is now separated, this is the Sexton-Berland-Kraus copy. ] First 4 line initial "Q" blue ink surrounded by red penwork decoration in the margin, other initials in red and blue Lombard letters. "De reparatione Lapsi" is a Latin translation of the longer of Chrysostom's Paraeneses ad Theodorum Iapsum. This treatise dates from the four-year period when Chysostom was an anchorite, probably some time between 373 and 381. It is an exhortion in defense of ascetic life to his friend Theodore, who had left monastic life and hoped to marry. Theodore later returned, was ordained, and became bishop of Mopsuestia. "Saint John Chrysostom (c.347&endash; c.407, archbishop of Constantinople, was an important early father of the church. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities...Known as "the greatest preacher in the early church, " John's sermons have been one of his greatest lasting legacies. Chrysostom's extant homiletical works are vast, including many hundreds of exegetical sermons on both the New Testament (especially the works of Saint Paul) and the Old Testament (particularly on Genesis). Among his extant exegetical works are sixty-seven homilies on Genesis, fifty-nine on the Psalms, ninety on the Gospel of Matthew, eighty-eight on the Gospel of John, and fifty-five on the Acts of the Apostles. The sermons were written down by the audience and subsequently circulated, revealing a style that tended to be direct and greatly personal, but was also formed by the rhetorical conventions of his time and place. In general, his homiletical theology displays much characteristic of the Antiochian school (i.e., somewhat more literal in interpreting

Astrological chart and table. John ab Indagine (or von Hagen, or Jager) (ca.1467-1537) , a priest at Steinheim near Frankfurt, dedicated his work, a series of tractates on astrology and chiromancy, to Albrecht, the archbishop of Mainz, along with an attack on scholastic theology. In his work he advocates a natural astrology (i.e., one which observes merely the movement of the sun and the moon) as opposed to an artificial astrology; the work was subsequently specifically named on Pope Paul IV's Index in 1559. Indagine "was an extremely learned man in many fields, and at one time acted as an ambassador to the Pope, though it appears that he had many sympathies with the revolutionary theories of the day..." Gettings p177. #11;This is a manuscript translation of the astrological portions of Indagine's work. The loose leaves seem to be in a different hand and cover other materials of Indagine. The bound manuscript is in a good readable hand. About 34 lines of close writings on each page. The loose card is an astrological chart. The endpaper of the book has the date "1845" in the watermark and the manuscript dates from around that period. Someone has added the note that Jaeger has done the translation but we do not know who this refers to.

Der Kommentar:Ferdinand Hutz, Bibliothekar und Archivar des Stiftes Vorau.Limitierte Auflage: 480 handnumerierte Exemplare. Neupreis: 7.254,-. Tadellos neuwertig erhalten.. Das ausgehende Mittelalter war von großen geistigen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Umwälzungen gekennzeichnet. Diese spiegeln sich auch in den Handschriften jener Zeit wider, die als hervorragende Dokumente der kulturellen Entwicklung gelten können. Eine besondere Stellung kommt in diesem Zusammenhang den Historienbibeln zu. In ihnen wurden die biblischen Erzählungen durch profanhistorische und philosophische Exkurse zu einer Art mittelalterlicher Universalgeschichte, die von der Schöpfung bis zum Jüngsten Gericht reichte, ausgebaut. Wo das biblische Geschehen historische Lücken aufwies, schloß man diese unter Heranziehung apokrypher Schriften, Legenden und weltlicher Geschichtswerke. In der Sprache des Volkes verfaßt, erfüllten die Historienbibeln somit einerseits die Forderung nach religiös-erzieherischer Erbauung, dienten andererseits zugleich aber auch weiten Teilen der Bevölkerung als einzig zugängliches Geschichtsbuch. Unter den rund 100 deutschsprachigen Historienbibeln nimmt die Vorauer Volksbibel in künstlerischer Hinsicht unbestritten den höchsten Rang ein. Insgesamt 559 (!) Miniaturen begleiten den in einer baierisch-österreichischen Mundart verfaßten Text und belegen einmal mehr die starke Bilderfreude des Spätmittelalters.. Faksimile

Aldershot: Ashgate, 2004. 8vo, (224x150mm), 396p. 17 plates. A fine copy in original hardback. Two themes uniting the essays in this collection are the provenance and history of medieval manuscripts during the Middle Ages, and the fates that befell them in England in the period after the invention of printing and the 16th-century dissolution of the religious houses and visitations of the universities. The section 'Libraries and collectors' includes papers on seven major English collectors of the 16th and 17th centuries, and the section 'Manuscripts' concerns the fates of five manuscripts or groups of manuscripts from England, Belgium and Italy. Of the other chapters one is concerned with the post-medieval history of the library of All Souls College, Oxford, and another with the provenance of hundreds of manuscripts in the Harleian collection in the British Library. For this volume Andrew Watson has provided extensive additional notes and indexes.

[CARTHUSIANS.] [GUIGO DE CASTRO, compiler].
Statuta ordinis Cartusiensis.
|
First printed edition of the Statutes of the Carthusian Order, a magnificent copy. Printed at the expense of the editor, Gregor Reisch (c. 1467-1525), author of the "Margarita philosophica", for distribution to the members of the Order only.The original compiler, Guigo de Castro (Gigues du Chastell), became a monk of the Grande Chartreuse in 1107, and three years later was elected prior. "To Guigo the Carthusian Order in great measure owes its fame, if not its very existence. When he became prior, only two charterhouses existed, the Grande Chartreuse and the Calabrian house where St. Bruno had died; nine more were founded during his twenty-seven years' priorship. These new foundations made it necessary to reduce to writing the traditional customs of the mother-house. Guigo's Statutes, composed in 1127 or 1128, have always remained the basis of all Carthusian legislation" (Webster).There are four large cuts representing the history of the Carthusian Order and 17 portraits of popes, all by Urs Graf (see His, Urs Graf, nos. 203-223). Koegler (Kunstchronik, N.S. XVIII, p. 290) attributes the representation of "Guillhelmus Rainaldi" to the Master DS. Basel, Johann Amerbach, 1510.

Een Oud Schipper van Monickendam, Daer ons den Vromen Held uyt Quam ...[Amsterdam], [1608]. Small 4to. Political pamphlet in the form of a parable told by an old ship's captain. With a full-page engraved illustration headed by the title poem, a decorated woodcut initial letter and a band of cast arabesque ornaments. Modern wrappers.

. (5) pp. + the engraving. Asher 28/38; Knuttel 1467; Tiele 677; STCN (7 copies); cf. Alden & Landis (4 copies, eds. not distinguished); Simoni O-46 to 48 (other eds.); OCLC WorldCat (4 copies, eds. not distinguished); not in JCB; for the engraving, see also Atlas van Stolk 1221; Muller, Historieprenten 1254c. A political pamphlet urging the Dutch not to agree to a truce with Spain, presented as a parable told by an old ship's captain, about a sailor who is winning a tug-of-war with the King of Spain, the two pulling on the East and West ends of a staff representing the East and West Indies. This tug-of-war is illustrated in the (landscape-format) copperplate that bears a four-line verse serving as the title of the pamphlet (repeated as a drop-title on the first letterpress page). "One of the most charming pamphlets against the peace" (Tiele). The title alludes to Admiral Cornelis Dirksz, Burgomaster of Monnickendam, who defeated the Spanish fleet in 1573. The engraving is also interesting for the clothing of the eight figures, one of whom may be Prince Maurits. In passing, the ship's captain also mentions that he has dropped anchor at Tierra del Fuego, refers to his compass and book of charts, and mentions Spain's relations with the Moors and Sarasans. The golden staff is the source of the King's power, and he has not only used it to mow down people in the Indies and the Netherlands as though they were wheat: he has also fooled them into mowing down each other. The King now ranges so widely that he begins to feel cramped in the world, and the parable refers to him as "Ghy Valck" (Dutch for "you falcon," but alluding to Guy Fawkes, the Catholic who tried to blow up the English Parliament less than three years before). There are also references to the Indian produce that has made him rich (oranges, lemons, limes, figs and grapes) and to his braiding "Vijghe-korfkens", literally fig baskets, but possibly a typesetting error for or elliptical allusion to "Bije-korfkens," referring to the Netherlands as beehives (see below). It also notes that the King has a medicinal herb he calls "long-term truce" that makes one fall asleep for several years. The closing advice is: hold fast to the East end of the staff, work your way toward the West end, regard that medicinal herb as rat poison, and those who stand and watch should join in to help.The pamphlet must have appeared too late to be issued with the first two editions of the Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf (the second around July 1608) but appeared with the third edition and was explicitly named when most of the Bye-Korf pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608. The authorities apparently considered it one of the most dangerous pamphlets against the proposed truce, and it was certainly one of the most popular, surviving in about ten different editions, most or all published in July or August 1608. It is also the only one to include an engraved illustration. The order of the editions remains unclear, but this is one of the earliest. Knuttel lists eight, with the present as the first of three under the original title, with a good impression of the illustration and without the additions in some later versions of the plate. The engraving shows dunes in the background and no line around the title, so it is apparently Muller 1254c.With a sharp fold near the side of the engraving, but still a very good copy. The slight trim just touches the lower right corner of the engraving, without loss. The only illustrated Bye-Korf pamphlet and in many ways the most interesting..

Chrysostomus, Johannes, Saint.
De reparatione lapsi. [Crisostomus de Reparat(i)one lapsi ad Amanticu(m) lapsum.]

[Ulrich Zell,] [Cologne:] [1467-1472.] - 4to. [a-e8.] 40 leaves. Modern limp vellum, using old vellum, with title in ms on cover; edges speckled red. Fine copy. Housed in morooco backed folding box.] Though it is now separated, this is the Sexton- Berland-Kraus copy.] First 4 line initial "Q" blue ink surrounded by red penwork decoration in the margin, other initials in red and blue Lombard letters. "De reparatione Lapsi" is a Latin translation of the longer of Chrysostom's Paraeneses ad Theodorum Iapsum. This treatise dates from the four-year period when Chysostom was an anchorite, probably some time between 373 and 381. It is an exhortion in defense of ascetic life to his friend Theodore, who had left monastic life and hoped to marry. Theodore later returned, was ordained, and became bishop of Mopsuestia."Saint John Chrysostom (c.347Ð c.407, archbishop of Constantinople, was an important early father of the church. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities.Known as "the greatest preacher in the early church," John's sermons have been one of his greatest lasting legacies. Chrysostom's extant homiletical works are vast, including many hundreds of exegetical sermons on both the New Testament (especially the works of Saint Paul) and the Old Testament (particularly on Genesis). Among his extant exegetical works are sixty-seven homilies on Genesis, fifty-nine on the Psalms, ninety on the Gospel of Matthew, eighty-eight on the Gospel of John, and fifty-five on the Acts of the Apostles.The sermons were written down by the audience and subsequently circulated, revealing a style that tended to be direct and greatly personal, but was also formed by the rhetorical conventions of his time and place. In general, his homiletical theology displays much characteristic of the Antiochian school (i.e., somewhat more literal in interpreting Biblical events), but he also uses a good deal of the allegorical interpretation more associated with the Alexandrian school." [Wkpd]"Ulrich Zell, Publisher, the first printer of Cologne, born at Hanau-on-the-Main, date unknown; died about 1507. He learned the art of printing before 1462 in the printing establishment of Fust and Schšffer, and seems, shortly after the catastrophe of 1462, to have gone to Cologne, whose university gave promise of a market for printed works. Zell was printing at Cologne apparently as early as 1463, although his first dated book is of the year 1466. His work as printer and publisher can be traced up to the year 1502; altogether about 120 of his publications are known. Of these, however, only nine bear his name, but in all probability he printed and published many more. In outline and cut his six kinds of type are strikingly similar to the "Durandus" and "Clements" types of Fust and Schoffer; it would even seem that a number of the matrices of the "Clements" type had been used. Most of the books printed by Zell were text-books in quarto form for the university. Among the fine productions of his printing shop is an undated edition of the Latin Bible in two volumes. At first he called himself clericus (of the lower orders), but as early as 1471 he married and became a citizen and householder of Cologne. In 1473 he bought the important manorial estate of "Lyskirchen", to which he transferred the main part of his business. In the colophons of his books the place of business is called "apud Lyskirchen". The purchase, sometime later, of various houses, lands, and properties yielding revenues, show that Zell had become a prosperous man. It is also a proof of his importance that for a long time he filled the office of Kirchenmeister (church-master) of "S. Maria an Lyskirchen".

[TWELVE YEARS' TRUCE].
Een Oud Schipper van Monickendam, Daer ons den Vromen Held uyt Quam ...[Amsterdam], [1608]. Small 4to. Political pamphlet in the form of a parable told by an old ship's captain. With a full-page engraved illustration headed by the title poem, a decorated woodcut initial letter and a band of cast arabesque ornaments. Modern wrappers.

(5) pp. + the engraving. Asher 28/38; Knuttel 1467; Tiele 677; STCN (7 copies); cf. Alden & Landis (4 copies, eds. not distinguished); Simoni O-46 to 48 (other eds.); OCLC WorldCat (4 copies, eds. not distinguished); not in JCB; for the engraving, see also Atlas van Stolk 1221; Muller, Historieprenten 1254c. A political pamphlet urging the Dutch not to agree to a truce with Spain, presented as a parable told by an old ship's captain, about a sailor who is winning a tug-of-war with the King of Spain, the two pulling on the East and West ends of a staff representing the East and West Indies. This tug-of-war is illustrated in the (landscape-format) copperplate that bears a four-line verse serving as the title of the pamphlet (repeated as a drop-title on the first letterpress page). "One of the most charming pamphlets against the peace" (Tiele). The title alludes to Admiral Cornelis Dirksz, Burgomaster of Monnickendam, who defeated the Spanish fleet in 1573. The engraving is also interesting for the clothing of the eight figures, one of whom may be Prince Maurits. In passing, the ship's captain also mentions that he has dropped anchor at Tierra del Fuego, refers to his compass and book of charts, and mentions Spain's relations with the Moors and Sarasans. The golden staff is the source of the King's power, and he has not only used it to mow down people in the Indies and the Netherlands as though they were wheat: he has also fooled them into mowing down each other. The King now ranges so widely that he begins to feel cramped in the world, and the parable refers to him as "Ghy Valck" (Dutch for "you falcon," but alluding to Guy Fawkes, the Catholic who tried to blow up the English Parliament less than three years before). There are also references to the Indian produce that has made him rich (oranges, lemons, limes, figs and grapes) and to his braiding "Vijghe-korfkens", literally fig baskets, but possibly a typesetting error for or elliptical allusion to "Bije-korfkens," referring to the Netherlands as beehives (see below).

Indagine, Johann. Jaeger?,trans.
"Translation of much of the Astrological part of Indagine."
|
England: Second half of the 19th c. 4to. 24p bound+12p loose+ 3x5 card. 19th century 1/2 vellum over marbled boards, title on paper label on front cover, old owners cryptogram E.H., some of the blank endpapers at either end cut away. Astrological chart and table. John ab Indagine (or von Hagen, or Jager) (ca.1467-1537) , a priest at Steinheim near Frankfurt, dedicated his work, a series of tractates on astrology and chiromancy, to Albrecht, the archbishop of Mainz, along with an attack on scholastic theology. In his work he advocates a natural astrology (i.e., one which observes merely the movement of the sun and the moon) as opposed to an artificial astrology; the work was subsequently specifically named on Pope Paul IV's Index in 1559. Indagine "was an extremely learned man in many fields, and at one time acted as an ambassador to the Pope, though it appears that he had many sympathies with the revolutionary theories of the day..." Gettings p177. This is a manuscript translation of the astrological portions of Indagine's work. The loose leaves seem to be in a different hand and cover other materials of Indagine. The bound manuscript is in a good readable hand. About 34 lines of close writings on each page. The loose card is an astrological chart. The endpaper of the book has the date "1845" in the watermark and the manuscript dates from around that period. Someone has added the note that Jaeger has done the translation but we do not know who this refers to.

He learned the art of printing before 1462 in the printing establishment of Fust and Schšffer, and seems, shortly after the catastrophe of 1462, to have gone to Cologne, whose university gave promise of a market for printed works. Zell was printing at Cologne apparently as early as 1463, although his first dated book is of the year 1466. His work as printer and publisher can be traced up to the year 1502; altogether about 120 of his publications are known. Of these, however, only nine bear his name, but in all probability he printed and published many more. In outline and cut his six kinds of type are strikingly similar to the "Durandus" and "Clements" types of Fust and Schoffer; it would even seem that a number of the matrices of the "Clements" type had been used. Most of the books printed by Zell were text-books in quarto form for the university. Among the fine productions of his printing shop is an undated edition of the Latin Bible in two volumes. At first he called himself clericus (of the lower orders), but as early as 1471 he married and became a citizen and householder of Cologne. In 1473 he bought the important manorial estate of "Lyskirchen", to which he transferred the main part of his business. In the colophons of his books the place of business is called "apud Lyskirchen". The purchase, sometime later, of various houses, lands, and properties yielding revenues, show that Zell had become a prosperous man. It is also a proof of his importance that for a long time he filled the office of Kirchenmeister (church-master) of "S. Maria an Lyskirchen". Of much importance in the history of the discovery of printing is Zell's statement, preserved in the Chronicle of Cologne of 1499, that the year 1450 was the date of the beginning of printing, that the country-squire Johann Gutenberg was the inventor of it, and that the first book printed was the Latin Bible, the Vulgate.

Alttestamentlicher Teil IIIDie Faksimile-Ausgabe:Codices Selecti Vol. XC.Vollständige farbige Faksimile-Ausgabe der 920 Seiten (fol. 1-458) im Originalformat (405 x 285 mm). Mit 559 farbigen Federzeichnungen und zahlreichen Initialen. Einband: Leder mit Gold- und Blindprägung (Kopie des Originaleinbandes). Sämtliche Blätter sind dem Original entsprechend randbeschnitten. Der Kommentar:Ferdinand Hutz, Bibliothekar und Archivar des Stiftes Vorau.Limitierte Auflage: 480 handnumerierte Exemplare. Neupreis: 7.254,-. Tadellos neuwertig erhalten.. Das ausgehende Mittelalter war von großen geistigen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Umwälzungen gekennzeichnet. Diese spiegeln sich auch in den Handschriften jener Zeit wider, die als hervorragende Dokumente der kulturellen Entwicklung gelten können. Eine besondere Stellung kommt in diesem Zusammenhang den Historienbibeln zu. In ihnen wurden die biblischen Erzählungen durch profanhistorische und philosophische Exkurse zu einer Art mittelalterlicher Universalgeschichte, die von der Schöpfung bis zum Jüngsten Gericht reichte, ausgebaut. Wo das biblische Geschehen historische Lücken aufwies, schloß man diese unter Heranziehung apokrypher Schriften, Legenden und weltlicher Geschichtswerke. In der Sprache des Volkes verfaßt, erfüllten die Historienbibeln somit einerseits die Forderung nach religiös-erzieherischer Erbauung, dienten andererseits zugleich aber auch weiten Teilen der Bevölkerung als einzig zugängliches Geschichtsbuch. Unter den rund 100 deutschsprachigen Historienbibeln nimmt die Vorauer Volksbibel in künstlerischer Hinsicht unbestritten den höchsten Rang ein. Insgesamt 559 (!) Miniaturen begleiten den in einer baierisch-österreichischen Mundart verfaßten Text und belegen einmal mehr die starke Bilderfreude des Spätmittelalters.. Faksimile

Translation of much of the Astrological part of Indagine."

England: Second half of the 19th c. 4to. 24p bound+12p loose+ 3x5 card. 19th century 1/2 vellum over marbled boards, title on paper label on front cover, old owners cryptogram E.H., some of the blank endpapers at either end cut away. Astrological chart and table. John ab Indagine (or von Hagen, or Jager) (ca.1467-1537) , a priest at Steinheim near Frankfurt, dedicated his work, a series of tractates on astrology and chiromancy, to Albrecht, the archbishop of Mainz, along with an attack on scholastic theology. In his work he advocates a natural astrology (i.e., one which observes merely the movement of the sun and the moon) as opposed to an artificial astrology; the work was subsequently specifically named on Pope Paul IV's Index in 1559. Indagine "was an extremely learned man in many fields, and at one time acted as an ambassador to the Pope, though it appears that he had many sympathies with the revolutionary theories of the day." Gettings p177. This is a manuscript translation of the astrological portions of Indagine's work. The loose leaves seem to be in a different hand and cover other materials of Indagine. The bound manuscript is in a good readable hand. About 34 lines of close writings on each page. The loose card is an astrological chart. The endpaper of the book has the date "1845" in the watermark and the manuscript dates from around that period. Someone has added the note that Jaeger has done the translation but we do not know who this refers to.

De reparatione lapsi. [Crisostomus de Reparat(i)one lapsi ad Amanticu(m) lapsum.]

[Cologne:] [Ulrich Zell,] [1467-1472.] 4to. [a-e8.] 40 leaves. Modern limp vellum, using old vellum, with title in ms on cover; edges speckled red. Fine copy. Housed in morooco backed folding box.] Though it is now separated, this is the Sexton- Berland-Kraus copy.] First 4 line initial "Q" blue ink surrounded by red penwork decoration in the margin, other initials in red and blue Lombard letters. "De reparatione Lapsi" is a Latin translation of the longer of Chrysostom's Paraeneses ad Theodorum Iapsum. This treatise dates from the four-year period when Chysostom was an anchorite, probably some time between 373 and 381. It is an exhortion in defense of ascetic life to his friend Theodore, who had left monastic life and hoped to marry. Theodore later returned, was ordained, and became bishop of Mopsuestia. "Saint John Chrysostom (c.347– c.407, archbishop of Constantinople, was an important early father of the church. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders, the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and his ascetic sensibilities...Known as "the greatest preacher in the early church," John's sermons have been one of his greatest lasting legacies. Chrysostom's extant homiletical works are vast, including many hundreds of exegetical sermons on both the New Testament (especially the works of Saint Paul) and the Old Testament (particularly on Genesis). Among his extant exegetical works are sixty-seven homilies on Genesis, fifty-nine on the Psalms, ninety on the Gospel of Matthew, eighty-eight on the Gospel of John, and fifty-five on the Acts of the Apostles. The sermons were written down by the audience and subsequently circulated, revealing a style that tended to be direct and greatly personal, but was also formed by the rhetorical conventions of his time and place. In general, his homiletical theology displays much characteristic of the Antiochian school (i.e., somewhat more literal in interpreting Biblical events), but he also uses a good deal of the allegorical interpretation more associated with the Alexandrian school."
