Occultes; Ferguson, Bib. Chem.; Garrison & Morton; Honeyman; Krivatsy; MacPhail/Mellon, Alchemy and the Occult; Osler; Rosenthal, Bib. Magica et Pneumatica; Sinkankas; Wellcome. Very rare first and only edition of a detailed Latin treatise on unicorns, bezoar stones, emeralds and pearls, with the emphasis on their medical uses. The result is an extraordinary mixture of medicine & pharmacology, natural history and alchemy & the occult. The book is not recorded in any of the major subject bibliographies in any of these fields. Nearly half the book is devoted to unicorns, especially the use of unicorn horn to cure many diseases including plague. Silvaticus also mentions that Pope Paul III (1468-1549) bought a unicorn horn for 12,000 gold pieces. Much of his material appears to be original, although he also repeats well known stories from Galen, Plinius, etc., such as Cleopatra drinking her pearl in a glass of wine. The book has no index, but the numerous printed marginal headings and summaries serve to guide the reader. The presswork does little credit to its printer, but it has lovely 34 mm initials decorated with grotesque figures and vines. The large publisher's device (80 x 68 mm) shows a naked figure of "Bona Fortuna" in a scrollwork frame supported by two female figures.Joannes Baptista Silvaticus or Giovanni Battista Selvatico (1550-1621) studied medicine in Paris, but returned to his native Milan to work as a doctor and later professor of medicine. This seems to be the rarest of the several medical works he published in the years 1595 to 1615: the first and best known is considered the first treatise on feigned diseases.With a cancelled library stamp (ca. 1800) on the title-page. Foxed, but otherwise very good, with only a few minor marginal water stains. The binding is cracked at the hinges and the binder burned the leather with his overenthusiastic use of chemicals.

| Messale Di Giorgio Di Challant ( Secolo XV Aosta )
|
Priuli & Verlucca Editori, Ivrea Messale di Giorgio di Challant (secolo XV - Aosta) Due volumi rilegati a mano in mezzo vitello marrone, con impressione a secco e in oro e piatti in legno con legacci, posti in cofanetto con testate in legno e fiancate in vitello marrone con impressioni a secco. Tiratura limitata a 333 esemplari. Formato cm 51x34, pagine 352 (codice) stampate da 8 a 12 colori più ori, pagine 147 (commentario). L'antica Collegiata dei Santi Pietro e Orso in Aosta conserva, tra le opere più importanti dell'arte figurativa tardo medioevale, un'opera di grande valore storico: il Missale magnum festivum Georgii Challandi fatto eseguire, verso la fine del XV secolo, da un discendente della più potente e illustre famiglia feudale della Valle d'Aosta, Giorgio di Challant, priore della Collegiata aostana dal 1468 al 1509 e Governatore del ducato di Aosta. Si tratta di un codice liturgico manoscritto e miniato, di notevoli dimensioni (cm 51x34) e comprendente 176 carte membranacee (e quindi 352 pagine), di cui le prime otto e le ultime diciassette non numerate. Lo specchio di scrittura è di cm 21x33 ed alloggia 28 linee di scrittura su due colonne. Le miniature denotano una sensibilità artistica di altissimo livello: basti pensare alla grande tavola della Crocifissione che precede il Canone, a quelle riproducenti la Concezione della B. V. Maria, la natività, le solennità di S. Orso, di Pasqua, della Pentecoste, del Corpus Domini, di San Giovanni Battista, dei Santi Pietro e Paolo, dell'Assunzione di Maria Vergine al cielo, della Natività della B. V. Maria e di Ognissanti, nelle quali gli elementi decorativi e figurativi, ispirati spesso a motivi tratti dalla natura, esulano dal puro ornato stilistico, per diventare un complemento necessario ed espressivo dell'intero apparato iconografico e testuale. Oltre alle numerose scene raffigurate - veri capolavori di un'arte particolare, lontana dalle grandi scuole italiane dell'epoca - gli ornati marginali, dai colori caldi e vivi, e le grandi iniziali, molte delle quali trattate ad oro zecchino, rivelano nel miniatore un'abilità non comune nel variare la disposizione dei fregi, senza cadere in ripetizioni. L'opera è proposta in edizione in facsimile autentico (in due volumi), con una tiratura di 333 esemplari, rigorosamente numerati. Il primo volume contiene il facsimile, composto di 352 pagine stampate da 8 a 12 colori più ori, su carta avoriata, con i bordi fustellati e le bucature. Il secondo volume contiene gli apparati storico-critici e le presentazioni, in versione trilingue (italiano, francese, inglese). I due volumi, rilegati a mano in mezzo vitello marrone, con impressione a secco e in oro e piatti in legno con legacci, sono posti in un cofanetto con testate in legno e fiancate in vitello marrone con impressioni a secco.

Text Complete. [3ff blank]; 399ff=804pp. Handsome period style modern blind-tooled paneled calf, spine banded with blind-tooled design; contemporary brass clasps, occ. spotting and foxing, light dampstain to upper margin of opening leaves and fore-and bottom edge at end, first leaf slightly soiled, infrequent contemporary marginalia and corrections, pinwormhole in first four leaves (some text affected) and in fore-margin at end; a very pleasing copy. Dated colophon on verso of I2. Watermarked paper with "raisin or grape cluster device" close to Briquet 12996 (1446) Piedmontese watermark group. The leaf missing and present only in a stub was not part of the text of Voragine. It stood at the spot identifying the end of the Life Of St Dominic, especially important to our author who was a Dominican and at the point of the text that a Bull of Nicholas IV declared there to be a natural break. This tradition of a break here in the text, accompanied with a different order of the listing of the saints than those followed in the rest of Europe, was only followed in France and, because it is based on a French edition, Caxton's translation of Voragine. First leaf has illuminated 9 line initial in blue on gold burnished ground, with center left blank for historiation, borders floriated on f1r, 2 and 3 line rubricated initials throughout, with chapter headings in red. In a strong slightly sloping cursive bookhand. Two columns of text with 37 lines.

He describes himself as "master in arts" from the monastery of Montbrison which was located near Lyon. Blessed Jacopo de Voragine. Archbishop of Genoa and medieval hagiologist, born at Viraggio (now Varazze), near Genoa, about 1230; died 13 July, about 1298. In 1244 he entered the Order of St. Dominic, and soon became famous for his piety, learning, and zeal in the care of souls. His fame as a preacher spread throughout Italy, and he was called upon to preach from the most celebrated pulpits of Lombardy. After teaching Holy Scripture and theology in various houses of his order in Northern Italy, he was elected provincial of Lombardy in 1267, holding this office until 1286, in which year he become definitor of the Lombard province of Dominicans. In the latter capacity he attended a chapter at Lucca in 1288, and another at Ferrara, in 1290. In 1288 he was commissioned by Pope Nicholas IV to free the Genoese from the ban of the Church, which they had incurred for assisting the Sicilians in their revolt against the King of Naples. When Archbishop Charles Bernard of Genoa died, in 1286, the metropolitan chapter of Genoa proposed Jacopo de Voragine as his successor. Upon his refusal to accept the dignity, Obizzo Fieschi, the Patriarch of Antioch whom the Saracens had driven from the see, was transferred to the archiepiscopal See of Genoa by Nicholas IV in 1288. When Obizzo Fieschi died, in 1292, the chapter of Genoa unanimously elected Jacopo de Voragine as his successor. His again endeavoured to evade the archiepiscopal dignity, but was finally obliged to yield to the combined prayers of the clergy, the Senate, and the people of Genoa. Nicholas IV wished to consecrate him bishop personally, and called him to Rome for that purpose; but shortly after the arrival of de Voragine the pope died, and the new bishop was consecrated at Rome during the succeeding interregnum, on 13 April, 1292. The episcopate of Jacopo de Voragine fell in a time when Genoa was a scene of continuous warfare between the Rampini and the Mascarati, the former of whom were Guelphs, the latter Ghibellines. The archbishop, indeed, effected an apparent reconciliation between the two hostile parties in 1295; but the dissensions broke out anew, and all his efforts to restore peace were useless. In 1292 he held a provincial synod at Genoa, chiefly for the purpose of identifying the relics of St. Syrus, one of the earliest bishops of Genoa (324?). The cult of Jacopo de Voragine, which seems to have begun soon after his death, was ratified by Pius VII in 1816. The same pope permitted the clergy of Genoa and Savona, and the whole Order of St. Dominic, to celebrate his feast as that of a saint. Jacopo de Voragine is best known as the author of a collection of legendary lives of the saints, which was entitled "Legenda Sanctorum" by the author, but soon became universally known as "Legenda Aurea" (Golden Legend), because the people of those times considered it worth its weight in gold. In some of the earlier editions it is styled "Lombardica Historia", which title gave rise to the false opinion that this was a different work from the "Golden Legend". The title "Lombardica Historia" originated in the fact that in the life of Pope Pelagius, which forms the second last chapter of the "Golden Legend", is contained an abstract of the history of the Lombards down to 1250 (Mon. Germ. Hist.: Script., XXIV, 167 sq.). In the preface to the "Golden Legend" the author divides the ecclesiastical year into four periods, which he compared to four epochs in the history of the world, viz. a time of deviation, renovation, reconciliation, and pilgrimage. The body of the work, which contains 177 chapters (according to others, 182), is divided into five sections, viz. from Advent to Christmas, from Christmas to Septuagesima, from Septuagesima to Easter, from Easter to Octave of Pentecost, and from the Octave of Pentecost to Advent. If we are to judge the "Golden Legend" from an historical standpoint, we must condemn it as entirely uncritical and hence of no value, except in so far as it teaches us that the people of those times were an extremely naive and thoroughly religious people, permeated with an unshakable belief in God's omnipotence and His fatherly care for those who lead a saintly life. If, on the other hand, we view the "Golden Legend" as an artistically composed book of devotion, we must admit that it is a complete success. It is admirably adapted to enhance our love and respect towards God, to foster our devotion towards His saints, and to animate us with a holy zeal to follow their example. The chief object of Jacopo de Voragine and of other medieval hagiologists was not to compose reliable biographies or to write scientific treatises for the learned, but to write books of devotion that were adapted to the simple manners of the common people. It is due to a wrong conception of the purpose of the "Golden Legend" that Luis Vives (De causis corruptarum artium, c. ii), Melchior Canus (De locis theologicis, xi, 6), and others have severely denounced it; and to a true conception that the Bollandists (Acts SS., January, I, 19) and many recent hagiologists have highly praised it. That the work made a deep impression on the people is evident from its immense popularity, and from the great influence it had on the prose and poetic literature of many nations. It became the basis of many passionals of the Middle Ages and religious poems of later times. Longfellow's "Golden Legend", which, with two other poems, forms the trilogy entitled "Christus", owes its name and many of its ideas to the "Golden Legend" of de Voragine. “ [Catholic Encyclopedia] First printed in Basel in 1470, two years after our manuscript, the Golden Legend was a medieval ‘best seller,” so that by 1500 at least 74 Latin editions had been published as well as three translations into English, five in French, eight Italian, fourteen Low German, and three Bohemian.

Er legte großen Wert auf fehlerfreie, von gelehrten Korrektoren durchgearbeitete Texte. Auffallenderweise hat er nie Illustrationen noch gedruckte Initialen verwendet. Ein Blatt aus der sehr seltenen ersten im deutschsprachigem Raum gedruckten Ausgabe des Gottesstaates.. Das Exemplar der John Ryland Library in Manchester ist vom Rubrikator mit "1468" datiert. Die Ausgabe erscheint somit etwa zeitgleich mit der ersten datierten Ausgabe von Subiaco vom 12. Juni 1467. Das Blatt ist ein prachtvolles Beispiel des Strassburger Frühdrucks und ist der 6. Druck der Presse Johann Mentelins. The esteemed first edition of the Civitas Die printed in Germy, issued about the same time as the first dated edition of Subiaco 1467. Mentelin's edition is quite independent of the Subiaco edition and was made after another manuscript. The sixth product of Mentelin's press is printed in two different types.
