MANUSCRIPT WITH ENGRAVINGS - HERALDRY]. [SMALLEGANGE, Mattheus].
Armorial of the Netherlands].[Amsterdam?], ca. 1736. Folio (34 x 22 cm). An armorial of the (mostly northern) Low Countries, with about 1451 engraved and 18 manuscript coats of arms pasted onto (or in the case of the manuscript arms drawn on) pre-printed engraved forms (each leaf with 25 spaces numbered 1-25). The facing pages, neatly written in brown ink, list the names of the families whose arms are shown, keyed to the pre-printed numbers. The engraved arms in the first part (each 21 x 20 mm) are taken from the ca. 1700 appendix to Smallegange's 1696 Nieuwe Cronyk van Zeeland, and that part has additional manuscript notes copied from the same source. The engraved arms in the second part (each 24 x 21 mm) have not been identified. Contemp
      - (11 blank), (88), (8 blank), (102), (5 blank) pp. including paste-downs.An armorial of the Netherlands, with about 1469 small coats of arms (about 1451 engraved and 18 manuscript), identified on the facing pages, sometimes with informative notes. It is divided into two parts, each with its arms arranged alphabetically by family name. Part 1, with about 794 engraved coats of arms from the heraldic appendix to Smallegange's Cronyk and 2 more added in manuscript, covers Zeeland nobility and includes not only the family names, but also notes copied from Smallegange (the note to "Blois" even copying his reference to "my" Chronyk van Zeeland). Part 2 contains about 657 engraved and 16 manuscript coats of arms, slightly larger than those in the first part and covering Low Countries nobility from various provinces, mostly the northern provinces that formed the Dutch Republic (approximately the modern Netherlands). We have not identified the source of the engravings in part 2. Occasionally part 2 includes the arms of a Zeeland family also included in part 1, but the arms then differ in execution (as with Smallegange's own arms) and sometimes in content. The arms of Soutelande (Zoutelande), for example, show two different marks of cadence: a label (eldest son, before the father's death) in part 1 and a crescent (second son, before or after the father's death) in part 2, though the label became a fixed element and the municipality of Zouteland adopted the arms with label in 1817. We have not had the opportunity to compare the arms of Holland families in part 2 with those in Smallegange's 1677 Wapenen de Steden en Oud-Adelyke Geslachten in. Holland en West-Vriesland or those of Utrecht families with those in the 1671 Wydberoemde Binnen-Stichtsche Wapenen. The manuscript arms (some added at the end in a different ink) are: in part 1, Honigs (added: Rethaan Macaré); and in part 2, Van Banchem, Boreel, Bors van Wareren, Hop and Rendorp (added: Van Bambeek, Van Bueren, Van Kretschmar, Kraijenhoff, Van Maanen, Van der Meersch, De Mey van Streefkerk, De Man, Muller, Pancras and Tulp). A calligraphic inscription under the front paste-down may provide clues to the compiler of the armorial, but is difficult to read.The paper, including the endpapers, is watermarked: PS = arms (chevron with 2 stars above and a sheaf of wheat below). These arms were used with the PS countermark by Paulus Sébille in 1736 (Voorn, Noord-Holland 161 and Gaudriault 199 & p. 307, without the heart or the zig-zag pattern that appear in the base of the present version), and with other initials or names by Daniel Sébille & Wend 1762-1763; Sebille, Van Ketel & Wassenbergh in 1776; and with initials replacing bearings by H.C. Wend & Zoonen in 1788. Paul Sébille baptised 7 children in the Walloon Reformed church in Amsterdam from 1719 to 1735, and his wife Susanne Bernard witnessed baptisms alone from 1737 to 1756, so he may have died ca. 1736.With the blind-embossed arms of Charles Philippe Louis van Kinschot (1806-1862) or his grandson of the same name (1875-1936) on the first leaf and the latter's 1903 pencilled note criticising the depiction of the Kinschot arms in part 2 (the fields normally bearing bees are blank). In very good condition, with the manuscript leaf numbers and sometimes also the letter of the alphabet heading the list of family names shaved. The sewing is loose and the binding worn and tattered. A manuscript and engraved armorial of the Netherlands, with about 1469 coats of arms.

MACHIAVELLI, NICCOLO.:
TUTTE L'OPERE DI NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI Segretario e Cittadino Fiorentino: con una Prefazione di Giuseppe Baretti.
      London, Thomas Davies, 1772. Three volumes, complete set, Italian text, 4to, 305 x 230 mm, 12" x 9", frontispiece portrait in Volume I, 3 folding plates in Volume II, pages lx, 407; 453; 580, (1 - description of the plates), bound in full contemporary tree calf, very elegantly and professionally rebacked to style, raised bands to spine, ornate gilt decoration in compartments, gilt lettered contrasting morocco labels, marbled endpapers. Corners expertly restored, few minor scuffs to covers, armorial bookplate on first pastedowns, slight offsetting from portrait onto title page, a few pages lightly age-browned, occasional light foxing chiefly to margins, heavy foxing in 2 places in Volume I affecting 10 pages in each case, 3 closed tears, 2 marginal, 1 into text with no loss, all with neat old repairs, one upper edge slightly ragged, 1 corner tip missing, binding tight and firm. A very good handsome set.Niccolò Machiavelli (1469 –1527) was a Florentine statesman and political philosopher. As a theorist, he was the key figure in realistic political theory, crucial to European statecraft during the Renaissance. His two most famous books, Discourses on Livy and The Prince, were written in the hope of improving the conditions of the Northern Italian principalities, but became general handbooks for a new style in politics. The Prince, written to encourage the appearance of a political saviour who would unify the corrupt city-states and fend off foreign conquest, advocated the theory that whatever was expedient was necessary—an early example of utilitarianism and realpolitik.

Sir Thomas Malory
Le Morte D'Arthur - two volumes
      The Easton Press, Norwalk, Connecticutt - Dark brown leather-like cover, gold foil stamped on front, spine and back. 7 3/8" x 10 3/4". Gold gilding on all three edges. Silk bound-in bookmark. Ribbed spine. Moire endpapers. Each volume has a bookplate reading "Published expressly for the personal library of Barry Griffin." "The story of King Arthur & his noble knights of the round table written by Sir Thomas Malory, first printed by William Caxton, now modernised, as to spelling and punctuation, by A. W. Pollard, illustrated by Robert Gibbings. The Morte d'Arthur was finished in the ninth year of the reign of Edward the IV., i.e. between March 4, 1469 and the same date in 1470. It is thus, fitly enough, the last important English book written before the introduction of printing into the country, and since no manuscript of it has come down to us, it is also the first English classic for our knowledge of which we are entirely dependent on a printed text. Caxton was not only the printer of the book, but to some extent its editor also, dividing Malory's work into twenty-one books, splitting up the books into chapters, by no means skilfully, and supplying the "Rubrish" or chapter headings." Note: there may be extra shipping charges for this two-volume set. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

BESSARION, Johannes Basilius of Trebizond, Cardinal
Adversus Calumniatorem Platonis. -- Correctio Librorum Platonis de Legibus Georgio Trapezuntio interprete. -- De Natura et Arte adversus Georgium Trapezuntium
      Roman & Greek type. 10-line initial opening text in red & blue with purple pen work decoration & extensions, 7-line initials opening subsequent books in red or blue, headings in red, chapter numbers in red in margins, paragraph marks alternating in red & blue. 231 leaves (lacking the first & final two blanks). Folio (280 x 197 mm.), 18th cent. sheep (a few small wormholes in first two & final three quires, some spotting & browning), sides ruled in blind, spine gilt, contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Rome: C. Sweynheym & A. Pannartz, [before 28 Aug. 1469]. First edition of "one of the most important texts in the history of Platonism."!J. Hankins, Plato in the Italian Renaissance, p. 215. Bessarion wrote this book to counter the attacks of George of Trebizond, who, in his translation of the Laws of Plato, had sharply criticized their author, exalting Aristotle instead. In defending Plato, Bessarion provides a general exposition of Platonic philosophy. It was one of the earliest expositions on Platonism to appear in print, published well in advance of any of Plato's own works, and therefore contributed greatly to disseminating and popularizing Platonic philosophy in the West. Bessarion's work was not merely a defense of Plato, but a defense of Greek culture and heritage. One of his main strategies in countering Trebizond was to prove the deficiency of Latin translations of Plato's works, which consequently resulted in western misconceptions. Included in this edition is Bessarion's detailed and sharp enumeration of the faults in Trebizond's own translation and commentary of Plato's Laws. Bessarion (1403-72), united the two worlds of Byzantine and Renaissance Italian culture. After 1440, the cardinal remained in Italy for most of the rest of his life and established himself as a dominant figure in Italian culture. At Rome, the house of Bessarion functioned as a humanist academy, frequented by Poggio, Filelfo, Trebizond (until the quarrel), Argyropulus, Cusanus, and Regiomontanus. The cardinal's promotion of Greek no doubt helped to turn the minds of Nicholas V and Duke Federico of Urbino to the patronage of Greek studies. Bessarion's immense collection of Greek manuscripts represents a major landmark in the transmission of classical Greek culture to Renaissance Italy. His collection of 800 Greek manuscripts was given by him in 1468 to the Republic of Venice and today forms the nucleus of the famous library of St. Mark's. Bessarion had considerable mathematical interests which are reflected in the present book. He received lessons in the subject from Gemistus Pletho in the early 1430s and, during his reorganization of the University of Bologna, planned to provide four professorships in mathematics. "At Rome the Byzantine cardinal became a close friend of Cusanus, that dedicated admirer of Archimedes. The influence of Cusanus can be seen in Bessarion's great work In Calumniatorem Platonis (directed against Trapezuntius), where the author defends Plato as a mathematician and adduces Archimedes in support of his contention...While on a mission to Nuremberg and Vienna (1460-1461), Bessarion met the astronomers Peurbach and Regiomontanus, then at Vienna University. Following the death of Peurbach, Bessarion persuaded the younger astronomer to accompany him back to Italy in 1461, thus introducing Regiomontanus to the humanists and mathematicians of Rome and Venice."!Rose, The Italian Renaissance of Mathematics, p. 44. A fine copy of this handsome book printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, who introduced the art of printing into Italy. It is known that this work was printed in an edition of three hundred copies.

[LORETO]
Spiegazione delli Quattro prospetti dei bassi rilievi in marmo che circondano le mura della S. Casa di Loreto: qui anessi in puntata, oltre l'altro prospetto del palazzo pontificio, facciata del tempio, campanile, e cupola
      Very rare pilgrim's souvenir album showing some of the artistic treasures of the Santa Casa di Loreto, one of the principal shrines for Marian devotion from the late 13th century to the present day. The shrine purports to be the house of the Virgin Mary, miraculously transported from Nazareth to Loreto, a small town in the Marche 30 kilometers from Ancona. A sanctuary was built over the house c. 1469 and quickly became a major pilgrimage site. With papal support, a building and decorative program attracted the leading names in Quattrocento architecture, sculpture and painting. In 1509, Julius II commissioned Bramante to construct a rectangular structure to contain the Santa Casa. He encased it in an elaborate marble shell, using fluted Corinthian half marble columns resting on pedestals and supporting entablature, cornice and balustrade to articulate the main story. The structure has two doorways at each of the north/south sides. The sculptural decoration shows 9 scenes from the Life of the Virgin by such sculptors as Giovanni Cristoforo Romano, Andrea Sansovino, Baccio Badinelli, Niccolo Tribolo and Raffaello da Montelupo. These reliefs are framed by pairs of statues in niches set one above the other executed in the 1540s (artist unknown). There is one plate for each side of Bramante's shell, and a final plate shows the courtyard of the basilica, the papal palace and the bell-tower renovated by Luigi Vanvitelli in 1750-54. Not in OCLC, RLIN lists one copy: Penn State. Not at Getty or National Gallery. * Grove Dictionary of Art XIX.685ff.

Balbus, Johanes. [Johann Gutenberg]
[Catholicon.]
      [Peter Schoeffer (?) for Konrad Humery (?),] [Mainz:]: [Peter Schoeffer (?) for Konrad Humery (?),], [ca. 1469.]. First Edition, second impression.. Single leaf from volume one with entries fro "cohors" to "color", 66 lines, double column. Type: 82G cast on two-ine slugs. Printed on Galliziani paper, the half of the sheet without the watermark, but with the characteristic shadows at wire-line intervals of ca. 5mm. Rubricated with one-line red Lombard initials and red paragraph marks. Very clean in a acid-free green mat with decription panel calling it the 1460 Gutenberg printing (incorrectly).. Royal folio.. A single leaf from the first edition, second impression of the Catholocon, printed from two-line slugs on Galliziani paper in 1468 or 1469. As early as 1905 Gottfred Zedler recognized that the Catholicon edition dated Mainz 1460 exists in three impressions printed from a single setting of type but associated with three presses (with different pinhole patterns) and printed on three distinct paper stock. In 1982 Paul Needham presented evidence that the three issues were printed at different times, according to the datable use of their paper stocks: copies on Bull's Head paper (with which are classed the vellum copies) in 1460, copies on Galliziani paper ca. 1469, and copies on Crown and Tower papers ca. 1472. Moreover, Needham argued that the three impressions were produces, not from standing type, but from two-line 'slugs' cast from the type and capable of being reassembled for subsequent impressions. According to this theory, the first impression of the Catholicon was produced by Gutenberg himself in 1460, the 'slugs' then passed into the possession of Konrad Humery with Gutenberg's other typographic material after the latter's death in 1468 and were re-used by Humery probably with the help of Peter Schoeffer, ca. 1469. In this view, which has aroused prolonged controversy among incunabulists, the 1460 Catholicon represents not only Gutenberg's last production but also final achievement, the invention of an early form of stereotyping."#11;[Christie's Nakles Collection of Incunabula, 2000 lot #2]#11;This leaf is almost certainly from those acquired by E.

Folio [33 x 23.5 cm], 150 ff., c. 37 lines written in a neat humanistic hand in brown ink, 2-3 line initials in red or blue, large illuminated initial and coat of arms of the Scalomonte family on first text leaf, flanked by floral decoration, 231 full-page tables densely (but neatly) written in red and brown ink; some marginal or inter-columnar annotations, and one extended annotation on final leaf. Watermarks: cf. Bricquet 3387 (ecclesiastical hat); Bricquet 2667 (basilisk). Bound in contemporary blind-stamped goat skin over wooden boards, sympathetically re-backed, edges of covers abraded and showing through to board. Some minor waterstaining in initial leaves and a little worming at back, but not affecting legibility. Generally in a fine state of preservation Rare manuscript of one of the most sophisticated and widely disseminated 15th-century attempts to correct the Alfonsine Tables, by Giovanni Bianchini (d. 1469), an astronomer and business administrator attached to the Ferrara court of the d'Este, considered by Regiomontanus the greatest astronomer of his time. The work was known by both Regiomontanus and Peurbach, both of whom visited the author in Ferrara and corresponded with him; both made use of the present work in the computation of their own Ephemerides (Hellman & Swerdlow in DSB XV.474). Regiomontanus actually copied the entire manuscript in Vienna in 1460 (Nuremberg Stadtbibliothek MS Cent V 57), and extracts were possibly copied later in the century by Copernicus himself (Uppsala MS Copernicana 4, ff. 276-281), influencing him as well. The work also provides an unusual, to our knowledge singular example of the production of a scientific text from the court of Lionello d'Este, best known for the philology of Guarino da Verona and the appreciation of art and literature, famously documented in Angelo Decembrio's De Politeia litterarum (written c. 1462; editio princeps 1540; 2nd ed. 1560)Understudied owing to its rarity, the work is representative of the technical revolutions in practical mathematics and geography on the eve of the Age of Discovery. The manuscript is divided into two parts. The first consists of an introduction and Canones explaining how the tables were calculated and how they are to be used. The remainder consists of the densely, if neatly written tables.Bianchini set out to achieve a correction of the Alfonsine tables-the standard in Europe for a couple of centuries by the time he wrote-with those of Ptolemy. He was a great admirer of Ptolemy and critical of the corrupted Ptolemaic and Alfonsine texts then in current use. Thorndike observes that historically: "many have erred by neglecting, because of their difficulty, the Alfonsine Tables for longitude and the Ptolemaic for finding the latitude of the planets. Accordingly in his Tables Bianchini has combined the conclusions, roots and movements of the planets by longitude of the Alfonsine Tables with the Ptolemaic for latitude, and with the rules of Ptolemy which Alfonso had employed too." - Thorndike ap. Tomash, p. 141 Although a significant number of manuscripts (at least in European institutions) and three printed editions (1495, 1526, and 1563) suggest that its contemporary circulation was far from negligible, its principal importance was its influence on such crucial texts as Peurbach and Regiomontanus, both of whom, as mentioned above, utilized Bianchini's tables to calculate their own Ephemerides The most recent technical assessment of the work by Goldstein and Chabas concludes:Bianchini compiled a set of "userfriendly" tables that simplified the computations required for using the Alfonsine Tables. Many astronomers in the late Middle Ages (e.g., John of Ligneres,William Batecombe, John of Gmunden, and Abraham Zacut) also had this as a goal (each interpreting it in his own way), and Bianchini fits nicely in this group. Finally, there can be little doubt that early in his career Copernicus depended on Bianchini's tables for planetary latitude which, in turn, are based on Ptolemy's models in the Almagest. Hence, Bianchini's tables can be considered a source for Copernicus's knowledge of astronomy. - p. 573.Provenance: Marco Antonio Scalamonte, most likely from the patrician family of Ancona, who became a senator in Rome in 1502; Robert Honeyman, Jr. (1928-78), noted US collector of scientific books and mss.; his sale Sotheby's, London, Wed May 2, 1979 #1110; Alan Thomas Catalogue 43.2 (1981), to H.P. Kraus and to former owner; Martayan Lan, Summer 2008.Census: Although Boffito, Thorndike and Zinner, and Kristeller locate some few dozen mss. of Bianchini's work in European institutions-not infrequently consisting solely of the tables, e.g., without the introductory matter-the only US copy recorded by Faye and Bond in 1962 was the present copy, then in the collection of Robert Honeyman. There was not then, and there is not now any copy of this manuscript in an American institution. In the same period, we know of a single other copy to come on the market, now in the collection of Erwin Tomash of Los Angeles, supplied by us. The work was occasioned by the visit of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III to Ferrara in 1452, and a copy, perhaps the dedication copy, in the Biblioteca Comunale Ariostea, Ferrara (Cl. I. No. 147) contains a miniature in which Bianchini is shown presenting the work to Frederick, with Borso d'Este looking on.* C.U. Faye & W.H.

BESSARION, Johannes Basilius of Trebizond, Cardinal
Adversus Calumniatorem Platonis. -- Correctio Librorum Platonis de Legibus Georgio Trapezuntio interprete. -- De Natura et Arte adversus Georgium Trapezuntium
      Roman & Greek type. 10-line initial opening text in red & blue with purple pen work decoration & extensions, 7-line initials opening subsequent books in red or blue, headings in red, chapter numbers in red in margins, paragraph marks alternating in red & blue. 231 leaves (lacking the first & final two blanks). Folio (280 x 197 mm.), 18th cent. sheep (a few small wormholes in first two & final three quires, some spotting & browning), sides ruled in blind, spine gilt, contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Rome: C. Sweynheym & A. Pannartz, [before 28 Aug. 1469].pFirst edition of "one of the most important texts in the history of Platonism."!J. Hankins, Plato in the Italian Renaissance, p. 215. Bessarion wrote this book to counter the attacks of George of Trebizond, who, in his translation of the Laws of Plato, had sharply criticized their author, exalting Aristotle instead. In defending Plato, Bessarion provides a general exposition of Platonic philosophy. It was one of the earliest expositions on Platonism to appear in print, published well in advance of any of Plato's own works, and therefore contributed greatly to disseminating and popularizing Platonic philosophy in the West. Bessarion's work was not merely a defense of Plato, but a defense of Greek culture and heritage. One of his main strategies in countering Trebizond was to prove the deficiency of Latin translations of Plato's works, which consequently resulted in western misconceptions. Included in this edition is Bessarion's detailed and sharp enumeration of the faults in Trebizond's own translation and commentary of Plato's Laws. Bessarion (1403-72), united the two worlds of Byzantine and Renaissance Italian culture. After 1440, the cardinal remained in Italy for most of the rest of his life and established himself as a dominant figure in Italian culture. At Rome, the house of Bessarion functioned as a humanist academy, frequented by Poggio, Filelfo, Trebizond (until the quarrel), Argyropulus, Cusanus, and Regiomontanus. The cardinal's promotion of Greek no doubt helped to turn the minds of Nicholas V and Duke Federico of Urbino to the patronage of Greek studies. Bessarion's immense collection of Greek manuscripts represents a major landmark in the transmission of classical Greek culture to Renaissance Italy. His collection of 800 Greek manuscripts was given by him in 1468 to the Republic of Venice and today forms the nucleus of the famous library of St. Mark's. Bessarion had considerable mathematical interests which are reflected in the present book. He received lessons in the subject from Gemistus Pletho in the early 1430s and, during his reorganization of the University of Bologna, planned to provide four professorships in mathematics. "At Rome the Byzantine cardinal became a close friend of Cusanus, that dedicated admirer of Archimedes. The influence of Cusanus can be seen in Bessarion's great work In Calumniatorem Platonis (directed against Trapezuntius), where the author defends Plato as a mathematician and adduces Archimedes in support of his contention...While on a mission to Nuremberg and Vienna (1460-1461), Bessarion met the astronomers Peurbach and Regiomontanus, then at Vienna University. Following the death of Peurbach, Bessarion persuaded the younger astronomer to accompany him back to Italy in 1461, thus introducing Regiomontanus to the humanists and mathematicians of Rome and Venice."!Rose, The Italian Renaissance of Mathematics, p. 44. A fine copy of this handsome book printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, who introduced the art of printing into Italy. It is known that this work was printed in an edition of three hundred copies.

Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand
Patrons of Columbus, in separate documents, Spanish monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand grant a salary payment and request an appointment be made - at the time of these orders, in 1501 and 1510, each monarch authorized actions which, in effect, resulted in the beginning of the African slave trade to the New World.
      The marriage of Queen Isabella of Castile and King Ferdinand of Aragon in 1469 eventually led to a united Spain. Their sponsorship of the four voyages of Christopher Columbus to the New World and their subsequent encouragement of colonial development of the Americas led to a period of prosperity and sea supremacy for Spain for almost 100 years. (1) Queen Isabella of Spain. Manuscript DS “Yo la Reyna” (“I the Queen”), one page, 8.5” x 12”. Granada. April 6, 1501. In old Spanish, not translated. “La Reyna” at top center. Countersigned by the Queen’s secretary “Gaspar de Trizio” beneath the words “By Command of the Queen.” An order to her chamberlain, Sancho de Paredes, to pay the sum of 7,500 maravedis to fray Juan Beato, thus completing his annual salary of 15,000 maravedis. Manuscript receipt signed “Fray Juan Beato” in lower portion of document. Docketed on verso. On laid paper with two inconspicuous cancellation cuts used during this period strengthened by glassine on verso. Fine condition. In 1501, Queen Isabella established the encomienda in New Spain, allowing the allotmentof natives as slave workers to missions and to individual owners. The Queen also granted permission to the Spanish colonists in the Caribbean to import African slaves. (2) King Ferdinand of Spain. Manuscript DS “Yo el Rey” (“I the King”), one page, 8.25” x 11”. Guadalajara, April 8, 1510. In old Spanish, not translated. “El Rey” at top center. Order to Dona Beatriz Maldonado, wife of el Licenciado Pedrosa, to appoint a replacement for Diego de Salamanca who is not qualified for his post. On laid paper. Slight separations at edges of horizontal folds. Related dockets on verso Fine condition. On January 22, 1510, eleven weeks before he signed this document, King Ferdinand authorized a shipment of 50 African slaves to be sent from southern Spain to Santo Domingo and that more be sent later. In April, at the time of this document, over a hundred slaves were bought in the Lisbon market. According to Yale history professor Dr. Edward Gaylord Bourne in “Spain in America, 1450-1580” (New York: Harper & Bros., 1904), “This is the beginning of the African slave-trade to America.”

Balbus, Johanes. [Johann Gutenberg] [Catholicon.]
      [Mainz:] [Peter Schoeffer (?) for Konrad Humery (?),] [ca. 1469.] Royal folio. Single leaf. Single leaf from volume one with entries fro "cohors" to "color", 66 lines, double column. Type: 82G cast on two-ine slugs. Printed on Galliziani paper, the half of the sheet without the watermark, but with the characteristic shadows at wire-line intervals of ca. 5mm. Rubricated with one-line red Lombard initials and red paragraph marks. Very clean in a acid-free green mat with decription panel calling it the 1460 Gutenberg printing (incorrectly). First Edition, second impression. "A single leaf from the first edition, second impression of the Catholocon, printed from two-line slugs on Galliziani paper in 1468 or 1469. As early as 1905 Gottfred Zedler recognized that the Catholicon edition dated Mainz 1460 exists in three impressions printed from a single setting of type but associated with three presses (with different pinhole patterns) and printed on three distinct paper stock. In 1982 Paul Needham presented evidence that the three issues were printed at different times, according to the datable use of their paper stocks: copies on Bull's Head paper (with which are classed the vellum copies) in 1460, copies on Galliziani paper ca. 1469, and copies on Crown and Tower papers ca. 1472. Moreover, Needham argued that the three impressions were produces, not from standing type, but from two-line 'slugs' cast from the type and capable of being reassembled for subsequent impressions. According to this theory, the first impression of the Catholicon was produced by Gutenberg himself in 1460, the 'slugs' then passed into the possession of Konrad Humery with Gutenberg's other typographic material after the latter's death in 1468 and were re-used by Humery probably with the help of Peter Schoeffer, ca. 1469. In this view, which has aroused prolonged controversy among incunabulists, the 1460 Catholicon represents not only Gutenberg's last production but also final achievement, the invention of an early form of stereotyping." [Christie's Nakles Collection of Incunabula, 2000 lot #2] This leaf is almost certainly from those acquired by E. Byrne Hackett and broken up by him for the Brick Row Book Shop in 1936,and sold with an essay on the book by Margaret Stillwell (not present here). Hain/Copinger 2254*. BMC I,39. BSB B8. CIBN B13.

Likewise, the volume may serve as a text for courses in phonology, syntax and Optimality Theory that have a component dedicated to extensions of linguistic theory to historical change. It is of interest for historical linguists, researchers into Optimality Theory and linguistic theory, and for phonologists and syntacticians with an interest in historical change.

      - (30), 464 pp. De Backer-Sommervogel VI, col. 1469. Attractive copy this study of duels with special attention for judicial aspects. The author basically rejects a duel in favour of solving conflicts in court, but allows it under three conditions: grave offence, serious damage, and blatant miscarriage of justice. Stadler's apparent approval of duels under certain circumstances brought him in conflict with Pope Benedict XIV, who "ayant condamné trois propositions favorables au duel, des PP. Reiffenstuel, Sporer et Milante, deux desquelees le P. Stadler avait aussi soutenues, celui-ci lui écrivit pour prouver qu'il ne les soutenait pas. Le Pape lui répondit, par un bref, du 3 mars 1753, que son ouvrage n'avait pas été nommé dans la condamnation" (De Backer-Sommervogel). Several small corrosion spots, good copy in attractive binding.

LIVIUS, Titus and Lucius FLORUS.
Von Ankunfft unnd Ursprung des Römischen Reichs, .(colophon: Strasbourg, Theodosius Rihel, 1574). Small folio. With title printed in red and black in an elaborate woodcut frame by Tobias Stimmer; Rihel's printer's mark (13 x 10 cm); 131 examples of 66 woodcuts by Stimmer and others (10.5 x 14.5 cm); dozens of large (48 mm) and small gothic initial letters. Contemporary elaborately blind-tooled sheepskin parchment, painted in red, green, white and yellow, and gilt; blind-tooled board edges and turn-ins; gilt and gauffered edges with red and uncoloured decorations; headbands in green, yellow and white; signed "H" probably Caspar Hornheffers in Augsburg.
      - (28), 887, (23), (2 blank) pp. Chrisman, Bibl. Strasbourg Imprints A.2.13A; Karlsruhe Virt. Kat. (5 copies); Ritter, Cat. Bib. Mun. Strasbourg 1384; Ritter, Cat. Bib. Nat. & U. Strasbourg III, 1375; not in Adams, OCLC WorldCat. FIRST STRASBOURG EDITION of the best German translation of Livius's classic history of Rome, beautifully illustrated with a new series of woodcuts by Tobias Stimmer and others and in a splendid contemporary binding probably by Caspar Horneffers in Augsburg. The numerous woodcuts illustrate a wide variety of events and scenes from Roman history, each in a frame, with scrollwork, figures, animals and mythical beasts, fruits and vegetables, armour and weapons, etc. Most are initialed, many by Bernard Jobin after Tobias Stimmer and others by Christoph Maurer and Christoffel van Sichem.Titus Livius (59 B.C.-A.D. 17) is known primarily for his great history of Rome, already printed as early as 1469 and published in German in 1505. The present translation by Zacharias Müntzer, first published at Frankfurt in 1568, quickly established itself as the standard and was reprinted many times. Rihel not only adorned it with beautiful woodcuts, but also printed it exquisitely with a wide variety of fine fraktur types and with roman and Greek types by the great French master Robert Granjon.The binding has large arabesque scrollwork stamps in the centres of the boards, that on the back possibly a stylized Augsburg pinecone. The cornerpieces are also scrollwork arabesques, and that used for the lower left and upper right corners on both boards appears to be initialled HG (its mirror image used for the other corners is unsigned). The space around the central stamps is filled with *-shaped stamps and the whole surrounded by a frame of rolls. Additional rolls occupy the compartments on the spine. The watermarks in the endleaves are very close to Briquet 2122 (1568-1581), and Briquet's note after number 2123 suggests that papers with its merchant's mark (inside the shield at the foot) come from Augsburg. In fact, the present mark has the form of the Augsburg coat of arms, but with a bunch of grapes occupying the position of the pinecone. In general style, the present binding resembles one made ca. 1579 by Caspar Horneffers at Augsburg (active 1564-1595), illustrated in Schunke, Die Einbände der Palatina, plate CL.In very good condition and with very large margins, with two tears repaired, slightly affecting one woodcut and the text of one leaf; a few transparent brown stains slightly affecting two woodcuts and the text on a few leaves; a tiny hole affecting two words of the text; and very minor marginal wormholes in a few leaves, not approaching the woodcuts or text.

STADLER, Daniel.
Tractatus de Duello Honoris Vindice ad Theologiae, et Juris Principia Examinatio. Ingelstad - Würzburg, J.F.X. Crätz - Th. Summer, 1751. 4to. Title-page printed in red and black, full-page engraved frontispiece and engraved headpiece, many woodcut tailpieces. Contemporary blind-stamped pigskin binding, with floral rolls, brass catches, blue edges.
      - (30), 464 pp. De Backer-Sommervogel VI, col. 1469. Attractive copy this study of duels with special attention for judicial aspects. The author basically rejects a duel in favour of solving conflicts in court, but allows it under three conditions: grave offence, serious damage, and blatant miscarriage of justice. Stadler's apparent approval of duels under certain circumstances brought him in conflict with Pope Benedict XIV, who "ayant condamné trois propositions favorables au duel, des PP. Reiffenstuel, Sporer et Milante, deux desquelees le P. Stadler avait aussi soutenues, celui-ci lui écrivit pour prouver qu'il ne les soutenait pas. Le Pape lui répondit, par un bref, du 3 mars 1753, que son ouvrage n'avait pas été nommé dans la condamnation" (De Backer-Sommervogel). Several small corrosion spots, good copy in attractive binding.

LIVIUS, Titus and Lucius FLORUS.
Von Ankunfft unnd Ursprung des Römischen Reichs, ...(colophon: Strasbourg, Theodosius Rihel, 1574). Small folio. With title printed in red and black in an elaborate woodcut frame by Tobias Stimmer; Rihel's printer's mark (13 x 10 cm); 131 examples of 66 woodcuts by Stimmer and others (10.5 x 14.5 cm); dozens of large (48 mm) and small gothic initial letters. Contemporary elaborately blind-tooled sheepskin parchment, painted in red, green, white and yellow, and gilt; blind-tooled board edges and turn-ins; gilt and gauffered edges with red and uncoloured decorations; headbands in green, yello...
      (28), 887, (23), (2 blank) pp. Chrisman, Bibl. Strasbourg Imprints A.2.13A; Karlsruhe Virt. Kat.(5 copies); Ritter, Cat. Bib. Mun. Strasbourg 1384; Ritter, Cat. Bib. Nat. & U. Strasbourg III, 1375; not in Adams, OCLC WorldCat. FIRST STRASBOURG EDITION of the best German translation of Livius's classic history of Rome, beautifully illustrated with a new series of woodcuts by Tobias Stimmer and others and in a splendid contemporary binding probably by Caspar Horneffers in Augsburg. The numerous woodcuts illustrate a wide variety of events and scenes from Roman history, each in a frame, with scrollwork, figures, animals and mythical beasts, fruits and vegetables, armour and weapons, etc. Most are initialed, many by Bernard Jobin after Tobias Stimmer and others by Christoph Maurer and Christoffel van Sichem.Titus Livius (59 B.C.-A.D. 17) is known primarily for his great history of Rome, already printed as early as 1469 and published in German in 1505. The present translation by Zacharias Müntzer, first published at Frankfurt in 1568, quickly established itself as the standard and was reprinted many times. Rihel not only adorned it with beautiful woodcuts, but also printed it exquisitely with a wide variety of fine fraktur types and with roman and Greek types by the great French master Robert Granjon.The binding has large arabesque scrollwork stamps in the centres of the boards, that on the back possibly a stylized Augsburg pinecone. The cornerpieces are also scrollwork arabesques, and that used for the lower left and upper right corners on both boards appears to be initialled HG (its mirror image used for the other corners is unsigned). The space around the central stamps is filled with *-shaped stamps and the whole surrounded by a frame of rolls. Additional rolls occupy the compartments on the spine. The watermarks in the endleaves are very close to Briquet 2122 (1568-1581), and Briquet's note after number 2123 suggests that papers with its merchant's mark (inside the shield at the foot) come from Augsburg. In fact, the present mark has the form of the Augsburg coat of arms, but with a bunch of grapes occupying the position of the pinecone. In general style, the present binding resembles one made ca. 1579 by Caspar Horneffers at Augsburg (active 1564-1595), illustrated in Schunke, Die Einbände der Palatina, plate CL.In very good condition and with very large margins, with two tears repaired, slightly affecting one woodcut and the text of one leaf; a few transparent brown stains slightly affecting two woodcuts and the text on a few leaves; a tiny hole affecting two words of the text; and very minor marginal wormholes in a few leaves, not approaching the woodcuts or text. Binding very good, with the hinges and board edges worn and a few minor stains and wormholes. A classic history of Rome, beautifully illustrated and in a splendid contemporary initialled binding.

      [Mainz:] [Peter Schoeffer (?) for Konrad Humery (?),] [ca. 1469.] Royal folio. Single leaf. Single leaf from volume one with entries fro "cohors" to "color", 66 lines, double column. Type: 82G cast on two-ine slugs. Printed on Galliziani paper, the half of the sheet without the watermark, but with the characteristic shadows at wire-line intervals of ca. 5mm. Rubricated with one-line red Lombard initials and red paragraph marks. Very clean in a acid-free green mat with decription panel calling it the 1460 Gutenberg printing (incorrectly). First Edition, second impression. "A single leaf from the first edition, second impression of the Catholocon, printed from two-line slugs on Galliziani paper in 1468 or 1469. As early as 1905 Gottfred Zedler recognized that the Catholicon edition dated Mainz 1460 exists in three impressions printed from a single setting of type but associated with three presses (with different pinhole patterns) and printed on three distinct paper stock. In 1982 Paul Needham presented evidence that the three issues were printed at different times, according to the datable use of their paper stocks: copies on Bull's Head paper (with which are classed the vellum copies) in 1460, copies on Galliziani paper ca. 1469, and copies on Crown and Tower papers ca. 1472. Moreover, Needham argued that the three impressions were produces, not from standing type, but from two-line 'slugs' cast from the type and capable of being reassembled for subsequent impressions. According to this theory, the first impression of the Catholicon was produced by Gutenberg himself in 1460, the 'slugs' then passed into the possession of Konrad Humery with Gutenberg's other typographic material after the latter's death in 1468 and were re-used by Humery probably with the help of Peter Schoeffer, ca. 1469. In this view, which has aroused prolonged controversy among incunabulists, the 1460 Catholicon represents not only Gutenberg's last production but also final achievement, the invention of an early form of stereotyping."

LIVIUS, Titus and Lucius FLORUS.
Von Ankunfft unnd Ursprung des Römischen Reichs, .(colophon: Strasbourg, Theodosius Rihel, 1574). Small folio. With title printed in red and black in an elaborate woodcut frame by Tobias Stimmer; Rihel's printer's mark (13 x 10 cm); 131 examples of 66 woodcuts by Stimmer and others (10.5 x 14.5 cm); dozens of large (48 mm) and small gothic initial letters. Contemporary elaborately blind-tooled sheepskin parchment, painted in red, green, white and yellow, and gilt; blind-tooled board edges and turn-ins; gilt and gauffered edges with red and uncoloured decorations; headbands in green, yellow and white; signed "H" probably Caspar Hornheffers in Augsburg.

Strasbourg III, 1375; not in Adams, OCLC WorldCat. FIRST STRASBOURG EDITION of the best German translation of Livius's classic history of Rome, beautifully illustrated with a new series of woodcuts by Tobias Stimmer and others and in a splendid contemporary binding probably by Caspar Horneffers in Augsburg. The numerous woodcuts illustrate a wide variety of events and scenes from Roman history, each in a frame, with scrollwork, figures, animals and mythical beasts, fruits and vegetables, armour and weapons, etc. Most are initialed, many by Bernard Jobin after Tobias Stimmer and others by Christoph Maurer and Christoffel van Sichem.Titus Livius (59 B.C.-A.D. 17) is known primarily for his great history of Rome, already printed as early as 1469 and published in German in 1505. The present translation by Zacharias Müntzer, first published at Frankfurt in 1568, quickly established itself as the standard and was reprinted many times. Rihel not only adorned it with beautiful woodcuts, but also printed it exquisitely with a wide variety of fine fraktur types and with roman and Greek types by the great French master Robert Granjon.The binding has large arabesque scrollwork stamps in the centres of the boards, that on the back possibly a stylized Augsburg pinecone. The cornerpieces are also scrollwork arabesques, and that used for the lower left and upper right corners on both boards appears to be initialled HG (its mirror image used for the other corners is unsigned). The space around the central stamps is filled with *-shaped stamps and the whole surrounded by a frame of rolls. Additional rolls occupy the compartments on the spine. The watermarks in the endleaves are very close to Briquet 2122 (1568-1581), and Briquet's note after number 2123 suggests that papers with its merchant's mark (inside the shield at the foot) come from Augsburg. In fact, the present mark has the form of the Augsburg coat of arms, but with a bunch of grapes occupying the position of the pinecone. In general style, the present binding resembles one made ca. 1579 by Caspar Horneffers at Augsburg (active 1564-1595), illustrated in Schunke, Die Einbände der Palatina, plate CL.In very good condition and with very large margins, with two tears repaired, slightly affecting one woodcut and the text of one leaf; a few transparent brown stains slightly affecting two woodcuts and the text on a few leaves; a tiny hole affecting two words of the text; and very minor marginal wormholes in a few leaves, not approaching the woodcuts or text. Binding very good, with the hinges and board edges worn and a few minor stains and wormholes. A classic history of Rome, beautifully illustrated and in a splendid contemporary initialled binding.

BESSARION, Johannes Basilius of Trebizond, Cardinal.
Adversus Calumniatorem Platonis. -- Correctio Librorum Platonis de Legibus Georgio Trapezuntio interprete. -- De Natura et Arte adversus Georgium Trapezuntium.
      Roman & Greek type. 10-line initial opening text in red & blue with purple pen work decoration & extensions, 7-line initials opening subsequent books in red or blue, headings in red, chapter numbers in red in margins, paragraph marks alternating in red & blue. 231 leaves (lacking the first & final two blanks). Folio (280 x 197 mm.), 18th cent. sheep (a few small wormholes in first two & final three quires, some spotting & browning), sides ruled in blind, spine gilt, contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Rome: C. Sweynheym & A. Pannartz, [before 28 Aug. 1469]. First edition of "one of the most important texts in the history of Platonism."­J. Hankins, Plato in the Italian Renaissance, p. 215. Bessarion wrote this book to counter the attacks of George of Trebizond, who, in his translation of the Laws of Plato, had sharply criticized their author, exalting Aristotle instead. In defending Plato, Bessarion provides a general exposition of Platonic philosophy. It was one of the earliest expositions on Platonism to appear in print, published well in advance of any of Plato's own works, and therefore contributed greatly to disseminating and popularizing Platonic philosophy in the West. Bessarion's work was not merely a defense of Plato, but a defense of Greek culture and heritage. One of his main strategies in countering Trebizond was to prove the deficiency of Latin translations of Plato's works, which consequently resulted in western misconceptions. Included in this edition is Bessarion's detailed and sharp enumeration of the faults in Trebizond's own translation and commentary of Plato's Laws. Bessarion (1403-72), united the two worlds of Byzantine and Renaissance Italian culture. After 1440, the cardinal remained in Italy for most of the rest of his life and established himself as a dominant figure in Italian culture. At Rome, the house of Bessarion functioned as a humanist academy, frequented by Poggio, Filelfo, Trebizond (until the quarrel), Argyropulus, Cusanus, and Regiomontanus. The cardinal's promotion of Greek no doubt helped to turn the minds of Nicholas V and Duke Federico of Urbino to the patronage of Greek studies. Bessarion's immense collection of Greek manuscripts represents a major landmark in the transmission of classical Greek culture to Renaissance Italy. His collection of 800 Greek manuscripts was given by him in 1468 to the Republic of Venice and today forms the nucleus of the famous library of St. Mark's. Bessarion had considerable mathematical interests which are reflected in the present book. He received lessons in the subject from Gemistus Pletho in the early 1430s and, during his reorganization of the University of Bologna, planned to provide four professorships in mathematics. "At Rome the Byzantine cardinal became a close friend of Cusanus, that dedicated admirer of Archimedes. The influence of Cusanus can be seen in Bessarion's great work In Calumniatorem Platonis (directed against Trapezuntius), where the author defends Plato as a mathematician and adduces Archimedes in support of his contention...While on a mission to Nuremberg and Vienna (1460-1461), Bessarion met the astronomers Peurbach and Regiomontanus, then at Vienna University. Following the death of Peurbach, Bessarion persuaded the younger astronomer to accompany him back to Italy in 1461, thus introducing Regiomontanus to the humanists and mathematicians of Rome and Venice."­Rose, The Italian Renaissance of Mathematics, p. 44. A fine copy of this handsome book printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, who introduced the art of printing into Italy. It is known that this work was printed in an edition of three hundred copies.

Title-page printed in red and black, full-page engraved frontispiece and engraved headpiece, many woodcut tailpieces. Contemporary blind-stamped pigskin binding, with floral rolls, brass catches, blue edges.
      (30), 464 pp. De Backer-Sommervogel VI, col. 1469 . Attractive copy this study of duels withspecial attention for judicial aspects. The author basically rejects a duel in favour of solving conflicts in court, but allows it under three conditions: grave offence, serious damage, and blatant miscarriage of justice. Stadler's apparent approval of duels under certain circumstances brought him in conflict with Pope Benedict XIV, who "ayant condamné trois propositions favorables au duel, des PP. Reiffenstuel, Sporer et Milante, deux desquelees le P. Stadler avait aussi soutenues, celui-ci lui écrivit pour prouver qu'il ne les soutenait pas. Le Pape lui répondit, par un bref, du 3 mars 1753, que son ouvrage n'avait pas été nommé dans la condamnation" (De Backer-Sommervogel). Several small corrosion spots, good copy in attractive binding.

Isabella and Ferdinand V
The Document That Made ColumbusÕs Discovery of America Possible.
      The Document That Made ColumbusÕs Discovery of America Possible.The Original Amnesty of Zamora.It United Christian Spain Under Ferdinand and Isabella, and Decided the Fate of the New World ~In the Middle Ages, Spain was not a unified nation, but a group of separate states. Castille and Leon ran down the middle of the Iberian Peninsula and over atop Portugal to the west. Aragon was to the northeast, while the Moorish kingdom of Granada remained in the southeast. In 1469, Princess Isabella (1451-1504), sister of King Henry IV of Castille and Leon and heir to its throne, married Prince Ferdinand (1452-1516), son of King Juan II of Aragon and heir to its throne. Ferdinand and Isabella would one day inherit and join together their two kingdoms, which composed some 90% of Spain. Then, once the Moors were driven out, Spain would be united under their rule. That was the intention. However, this plan would not go unchallenged by strong and determined forces. Upon the death of her brother in 1474, IsabellaÕs right to the throne of Castille and Leon was hotly contested. The rival claimant was Juana (called ÒLa BeltranejaÓ), wife of King Alfonso V of Portugal, which was then a wealthy and powerful nation. Juana was theoretically King HenryÕs daughter, but was popularly thought to be the illegitimate child of a Beltran de la Cueva (as Henry was widely believed to be impotent). Like Ferdinand and Isabella, Alfonso had a vision of unification; his, however, was incompatible with theirs. Through his wife, he claimed the throne of Castille and Leon for Portugal, thus hoping to unite the two states into a regional super-power, led from Lisbon, which would dominate the rest of the Iberian Peninsula. Although most Castilians favored Isabella, Juana had very substantial support.Zamora is a town northwest of Madrid, near Salamanca, and not far from the Portugese border. The town sympathized with JuanaÕs cause and the fortress there was held by supporters of Portugal at the start of the contest for the throne. Ferdinand took the initiative, and starting in 1475, a Castilian force led by him besieged Zamora. King Alfonso led a Portuguese army of 8,500 to Zamora's relief in February 1476. The Portuguese, being well equipped with artillery and arquebusiers, bombarded the Castilian positions for two weeks before moving in the direction of nearby Toro. Ferdinand pursued and caught the Portuguese five miles from Toro at 4 pm on March 1, 1476, as they negotiated a narrow pass beside the River Duero. The Portuguese formed up beyond the hills and allowed the Castilians through the gap to face them. Some of Ferdinand's infantry got left behind in the rapid pursuit, so he was slightly outnumbered. The Castilian right was disordered by the Portuguese arquebusiers facing them and the action of the Portuguese cavalry. However, reinforced by late arrivals, the Castilians rallied at the pass and returned to the battle. Toward evening, after 3 hours of fighting, the Portuguese began to give, and they finally broke when their flank was turned by a massed charge of the Castilian cavalry. In the end, at this, the famed Battle of Toro, some 2,000 Portuguese were killed; and badly beaten, Alfonso returned to Portugal empty handed, his hope of ruling Spain frustrated. Although their patron was defeated at Toro and had fled, pro-Juana Spanish leaders still held Zamora and its Fortress. Ferdinand understood that as long as they remained holed up there, his work was incomplete. There would still be armed resistance to his rule, the Portugese might again try to relieve the city, or the garrison might hold out and become a rallying point for his adversaries. So he would have to besiege Zamora and risk the fortunes of war. The forces within Zamora were well aware that a siege was imminent, and knowing there was realistically no hope of being relieved from Portugal, saw that their cause was now ultimately doomed. They preferred to surrender the Fortress and transfer their allegi [Attributes: Signed Copy]

BESSARION, Johannes Basilius of Trebizond, Cardinal
Adversus Calumniatorem Platonis. -- Correctio Librorum Platonis de Legibus Georgio Trapezuntio interprete. -- De Natura et Arte adversus Georgium Trapezuntium.
      Roman & Greek type. 10-line initial opening text in red & blue with purple pen work decoration & extensions, 7-line initials opening subsequent books in red or blue, headings in red, chapter numbers in red in margins, paragraph marks alternating in red & blue. 231 leaves (lacking the first & final two blanks). Folio (280 x 197 mm.), 18th cent. sheep (a few small wormholes in first two & final three quires, some spotting & browning), sides ruled in blind, spine gilt, contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Rome: C. Sweynheym & A. Pannartz, [before 28 Aug. 1469].First edition of "one of the most important texts in the history of Platonism."­J. Hankins, Plato in the Italian Renaissance, p. 215. Bessarion wrote this book to counter the attacks of George of Trebizond, who, in his translation of the Laws of Plato, had sharply criticized their author, exalting Aristotle instead. In defending Plato, Bessarion provides a general exposition of Platonic philosophy. It was one of the earliest expositions on Platonism to appear in print, published well in advance of any of Plato's own works, and therefore contributed greatly to disseminating and popularizing Platonic philosophy in the West. Bessarion's work was not merely a defense of Plato, but a defense of Greek culture and heritage. One of his main strategies in countering Trebizond was to prove the deficiency of Latin translations of Plato's works, which consequently resulted in western misconceptions. Included in this edition is Bessarion's detailed and sharp enumeration of the faults in Trebizond's own translation and commentary of Plato's Laws. Bessarion (1403-72), united the two worlds of Byzantine and Renaissance Italian culture. After 1440, the cardinal remained in Italy for most of the rest of his life and established himself as a dominant figure in Italian culture. At Rome, the house of Bessarion functioned as a humanist academy, frequented by Poggio, Filelfo, Trebizond (until the quarrel), Argyropulus, Cusanus, and Regiomontanus. The cardinal's promotion of Greek no doubt helped to turn the minds of Nicholas V and Duke Federico of Urbino to the patronage of Greek studies. Bessarion's immense collection of Greek manuscripts represents a major landmark in the transmission of classical Greek culture to Renaissance Italy. His collection of 800 Greek manuscripts was given by him in 1468 to the Republic of Venice and today forms the nucleus of the famous library of St. Mark's. Bessarion had considerable mathematical interests which are reflected in the present book. He received lessons in the subject from Gemistus Pletho in the early 1430s and, during his reorganization of the University of Bologna, planned to provide four professorships in mathematics. "At Rome the Byzantine cardinal became a close friend of Cusanus, that dedicated admirer of Archimedes. The influence of Cusanus can be seen in Bessarion's great work In Calumniatorem Platonis (directed against Trapezuntius), where the author defends Plato as a mathematician and adduces Archimedes in support of his contention...While on a mission to Nuremberg and Vienna (1460-1461), Bessarion met the astronomers Peurbach and Regiomontanus, then at Vienna University. Following the death of Peurbach, Bessarion persuaded the younger astronomer to accompany him back to Italy in 1461, thus introducing Regiomontanus to the humanists and mathematicians of Rome and Venice."­Rose, The Italian Renaissance of Mathematics, p. 44. A fine copy of this handsome book printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, who introduced the art of printing into Italy. It is known that this work was printed in an edition of three hundred copies.

      Venezia, B. Calore, 1884. In-8 (24 x 17), pp. 180+(2). Legatura coeva mezza pelle con angoli, dorso a 5 nervi con tit. in oro. Qualche fioritura, ma buon es. (5518) Il Berlan sostiene in questo studio, sulla base di numerose prove documentarie, che il primo libro stampato in Milano sarebbe i Miraculi de la Gloriosa Verzene Maria recante la data del 1469, ritenuta invece da molti altri bibliografi un errore tipografico in luogo di 1479. La questione resta tuttora aperta. Al contempo Berlan nelle prime pagine di questa memoria mette pure in discussione il "dogma germanico" in merito all'introduzione della stampa a caratteri mobili. La memoria del Berlan (Venezia, 1821 - Torino, 1876), storico e bibliografo fondatore della Societa' dei Bibliofili, esule in Piemonte dopo la caduta della repubblica di Venezia, apparve postuma, come molti altri suoi scritti (tra cui quelli relativi alla introduzione della stampa in Piemonte).

LIVIUS, Titus and Lucius FLORUS.
Von Ankunfft unnd Ursprung des Römischen Reichs, ...(colophon: Strasbourg, Theodosius Rihel, 1574). Small folio. With title printed in red and black in an elaborate woodcut frame by Tobias Stimmer; Rihel's printer's mark (13 x 10 cm); 131 examples of 66 woodcuts by Stimmer and others (10.5 x 14.5 cm); dozens of large (48 mm) and small gothic initial letters. Contemporary elaborately blind-tooled sheepskin parchment, painted in red, green, white and yellow, and gilt; blind-tooled board edges and turn-ins; gilt and gauffered edges with red and uncoloured decorations; headbands in green, yello...
      (28), 887, (23), (2 blank) pp. Chrisman, Bibl. Strasbourg Imprints A.2.13A; Karlsruhe Virt. Kat.(5 copies); Ritter, Cat. Bib. Mun. Strasbourg 1384; Ritter, Cat. Bib. Nat. & U. Strasbourg III, 1375; not in Adams, OCLC WorldCat. FIRST STRASBOURG EDITION of the best German translation of Livius's classic history of Rome, beautifully illustrated with a new series of woodcuts by Tobias Stimmer and others and in a splendid contemporary binding probably by Caspar Horneffers in Augsburg. The numerous woodcuts illustrate a wide variety of events and scenes from Roman history, each in a frame, with scrollwork, figures, animals and mythical beasts, fruits and vegetables, armour and weapons, etc. Most are initialed, many by Bernard Jobin after Tobias Stimmer and others by Christoph Maurer and Christoffel van Sichem.Titus Livius (59 B.C.-A.D. 17) is known primarily for his great history of Rome, already printed as early as 1469 and published in German in 1505. The present translation by Zacharias Müntzer, first published at Frankfurt in 1568, quickly established itself as the standard and was reprinted many times. Rihel not only adorned it with beautiful woodcuts, but also printed it exquisitely with a wide variety of fine fraktur types and with roman and Greek types by the great French master Robert Granjon.The binding has large arabesque scrollwork stamps in the centres of the boards, that on the back possibly a stylized Augsburg pinecone. The cornerpieces are also scrollwork arabesques, and that used for the lower left and upper right corners on both boards appears to be initialled HG (its mirror image used for the other corners is unsigned). The space around the central stamps is filled with *-shaped stamps and the whole surrounded by a frame of rolls. Additional rolls occupy the compartments on the spine. The watermarks in the endleaves are very close to Briquet 2122 (1568-1581), and Briquet's note after number 2123 suggests that papers with its merchant's mark (inside the shield at the foot) come from Augsburg. In fact, the present mark has the form of the Augsburg coat of arms, but with a bunch of grapes occupying the position of the pinecone. In general style, the present binding resembles one made ca. 1579 by Caspar Horneffers at Augsburg (active 1564-1595), illustrated in Schunke, Die Einbände der Palatina, plate CL.In very good condition and with very large margins, with two tears repaired, slightly affecting one woodcut and the text of one leaf; a few transparent brown stains slightly affecting two woodcuts and the text on a few leaves; a tiny hole affecting two words of the text; and very minor marginal wormholes in a few leaves, not approaching the woodcuts or text. Binding very good, with the hinges and board edges worn and a few minor stains and wormholes. A classic history of Rome, beautifully illustrated and in a splendid contemporary initialled binding.
