| Modus vacandi et acceptandi beneficiorum.
|
| [Rome, Printer of the Mercuriales Quaestiones = Theobaldus Shencbecher, c. 1472]. 4to., 4 leaves, roman letter, capital space at opening of text, a few contemporary underlinings in ink; some lines on verso of first leaf lightly strengthened in ink in a contemporary hand (possibly in the printing shop); unwashed, in red leather boards, gilt ruled border. A legal handbook for beneficed clerics, specifying the terms of a benefice, its acceptance, and the reasons for the termination of an incumbent’s tenure (thus creating a vacancy, whence the modus vacandi of the title). There are 32 reasons in all: “It is provided in the law that in the event of certain acts vacancy shall occur ipso facto; as when the incumbent marries or attempts marriage, when he takes solemn vows in a religious order, when he violates the canon forbidding plurality, when he fails to receive within the prescribed time the necessary ordination, when he obtains episcopal consecration, when he is guilty of any crime to which penalty of deprivation is expressly attached. In other cases deprivation follows a judicial process, instituted in virtue of laws authorizing the bishop to punish certain offences in this manner. Moreover a cleric has the right to resign his benefice provided the resignation be offered freely and for just reasons …” – Catholic Encyclopaedia. This is a very early edition (possibly preceded only by an edition of Rome, Ulrich Han, c. 1470-71) of an essential canon law text which was virtually the exclusive property of Rome printers and which went through over 30 recorded editions before 1501, many known by only one or two copies, and some no doubt lost. Of the present edition no copy is known outside the Vatican (Sheehan, Incunabula BAV, 1997, M-328 = Inc. Ross. 1951).

Der zweite Drucker Speyers, der "Drucker der Gesta Christi" ist ebenso wie der erste Drucker, namentlich unbekannt geblieben. Der Speyrer Ratsadvokat Thomas Dorniberg datierte seinen Index zu "De quattuor virtutibus cadinalibus" des Henricus Ariminensis auf den 11. November 1472. Es ist nicht ausgeschlossen, dass die "Druckerei der Gesta" im Besitze Peter Drachs des Älteren war. Hinzu kommt, dass Thomas Dorniberg auch für Peter Drach tätig war. (vgl. Geldner 1968, I 187)

Rotgestrichene Versalbuchstaben, festes Papier. Gering fingerfleckig im unteren Randbereich. Blattgröße: 26,5 x 37,7 cm. Incunabula text woodcut leaf.. Blatt aus der Erstausgabe des illustrierten Voragine in deutscher Sprache mit der Darstellung und Lebensbeschreibung "Von Sant Oswald dem Kunig". Der italienische Prediger und Schriftsteller Jacobus de Voragine (Viraggio) aus dem heutigen Varazze bei Genua lebte von 1230 - 1298. Der Dominikaner Jacobus de Voragine fügte aus der Bibel, den Apokryphen, verschiedenen Akten sowie überlieferten Geschichten, die Lebensgeschichten der Heiligen zur Legenda Aurea. Das Werk in volkstümlicher lateinischer Sprache geschrieben, wurde zum populärsten religiösen Volksbuch des Mittelalter. Die deutschen Übersetzungen der Legenda Aurea wurden das Leben der Heiligen oder Der Heiligen Leben genannt. Zahlreiche Anzeichen deuten heute darauf hin, dass zwischen 1384 und 1421 im Umkreis des Dominikanerordens in Nürnberg eine neue Kompilationen der Heiligenlegenden entstand, die unter Einbeziehung der Legenda aurea, stärker auf den deutschsprachigen Glaubensraum bezogen waren. So wurden in diesem Legendar Bonifazius, Gallus, Kilian oder Magnus von Füssen aufgenommen. Dieser deutsche Legendar übertraf in seiner Verbreitung die Leganda Aurea.

DIOSDADO CABALLERO, Raymundo.
|
|
| De Prima Typographiae Hispanicae aetate specimen.Rome, Antonio Fulgoni, 1793. 4to. A bibliography of Spanish incunabula (plus a few early sixteenth-century books), with CCCX numbered items ("1451" to 1507) plus about seventy more in the addenda. Contemporary Italian mottled half sheepskin, gold-tooled spine with red label, red paste-paper sides, edges sprinkled red.
|
xxxvi, 134, (2 blank) pp. De Backer & Sommervogel II, col. 481; Palau 74031; Ist. Cent. Cat. Unico (2 copies). First edition of the great pioneering work of early Spanish bibliography, listing more than three-hundred and fifty books, nearly all from the incunabular era. The extensive introduction discusses many difficulties of the subject, the annotated descriptions are quite detailed and the author documents his sources well, so that the book remains a valuable reference on the subject. Most of the first nine items are now known to be incorrectly dated, but items V (proceedings of the 1472 Synod of Segovia, printed after 10 June 1472) and VIII (40 poems from a contest held in Valencia in 1474, printed after 25 March 1474) remain candidates for the first book printed in Spain, though we are on firmer ground with items X and XI, both published in 1475. The first item in the addenda (Sánchez Vercial’s Sacramental ), there dated 1475, was dated ca. 1470 by Vindel but is now generally dated 1477. The Aristotle editions said to have been printed at Saragossa in 1473 are not listed.Diosdada Caballero (1740-1829/30), born on the island of Majorca, became a Jesuit novice at age twelve, taught at the Jesuit College in Madrid, and moved to Italy when Spain expelled the Jesuits in 1767. The present book, his first major publication, was reprinted in 1865. It is interesting typographically, with a rather old-fashioned roman and italic for the main text, but with the author’s note to the reader in a remarkably modern large italic (133 mm/20 line or about 20 point).With an early twentieth-century owner’s stamp on the title-page and fly-leaf. In very good condition and with generous margins, with only some slightly browned patches in a few leaves and a couple of rust spots in the paper. A work that initiated Spanish bibliography and remains useful today.

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". 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 pr

A spectacular, fresh, unsophisticated, wide-margined copy printed in the elegant de Spira Roman type in a clear and dark impression by the first Venetian press. The book seems to have been bound (or at least cased) in Italy in the late 17th century, but retains eight leaves of contemporary blank paper (with the same watermark as the text block). Also present are the 'point holes' that were made by the printer during the production of the book, and a number of leaves have the manuscript marks used by the printer/original binder to collate the leaves. The second edition of the Greek geographer Strabo's Geographia, and the first Venetian and first dated edition, based on the first Latin edition printed in Rome by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1469. One of the earliest and most important scientific treatises on historical geography, and Strabo's only surviving work, the Geographia represents an initial attempt to compile geographical knowledge in a unified manner. The work provides a survey of the topographical, historical, and political characteristics of the principal regions of the Roman world, also including information concerning philosophy, political theory, geology, mathematics, science, and history. Strabo (ca. 64 BCE - 21 CE) was born in present-day Turkey and as a youth travelled and studied in the Mediterranean and Egypt. He retired to his home town of Amasia and composed his monumental geography, probably composed in the last three or four years of his life. In updating the work of Erastothenes (third century BCE), the first systematic geographer, Strabo relied on other Greek geographers but incorporated little of later Roman records. Following Erastothenes, Strabo presented the world as a single landmass surrounded by ocean on the northern half of a sphere, immobile within a revolving universe. His descriptions of the Mediterranean area, Asia Minor, and Egypt are considered extremely accurate, while those of Gaul, Britain, and Greece less so. Generally not known until the fifth century CE, Strabo's work came to be the standard geographical reference during the Middle Ages.

His library was then dispersed by Sotheby's in a series of three sales from 1913 to 1917. His collection was important enough to warrant the publication by the Oxford Bibliographical Society of A List of the Icunabula Collected by George Dunn Arranged to Illustrate the History of Printing (Oxford: 1923) by Francis Jenkinson. The present work was included in the final Sotheby's sale and is noted by Jenkinson. Dunn's obituary on 11 March 1912 in The Times (of London) noted that Dunn particularly sought out undescribed and rare editions, and this is bourne out in the present instance: no copy of this edition is listed as having sold at auction in the last thirty years. However, a copy of the 1469 first edition sold in the Wardington sale (Sotheby's, Oct. 10, 2006, lot 492), where is realized £254,400.

There are 32 reasons in all: "It is provided in the law that in the event of certain acts vacancy shall occur ipso facto; as when the incumbent marries or attempts marriage, when he takes solemn vows in a religious order, when he violates the canon forbidding plurality, when he fails to receive within the prescribed time the necessary ordination, when he obtains episcopal consecration, when he is guilty of any crime to which penalty of deprivation is expressly attached. In other cases deprivation follows a judicial process, instituted in virtue of laws authorizing the bishop to punish certain offences in this manner.

| In Somnium Scipionis libri II Eiusdem conuiuiorum saturnaliorum libri VII

La première édition de ces deux textes a été imprimée par Jensonius à Venise en 1472. Belle impression en italique minuscule.§Plein veau glacé brun d’époque , dos lisse. Macrobius estampé sur le dos et Nicolaus 1580 sur les plats (filet d’encadrement). Mors et coiffes et coins restaurés. 3 trous de vers sur plat supérieur et sur les derniers feuillets.§Les deux textes réunis dans cette édition constituent les œuvres majeures de Macrobius, lequel vivait vers l’an 400 et dont on sait peu de chose sinon qu’il était un philosophe néoplatonicien et stoïcien opposé au christianisme de plus en plus répandu. L’idée du songe de scipion est extraite de la république de Cicéron dans laquelle celui-ci attribue un rêve au jeune scipion où se déroule une conversation entre les héros décédés de la république, et notamment son père et son grand-père. L’ouvrage est constitué des commentaires de Macrobius, notamment sur la constitution de l’univers. Le deuxième texte réfère aux saturnales, journées de fêtes pour les romains, Macrobius relate les discussions tenues dans la demeure de Vettius Praetextatus, Macrobius y traite de différents sujets, mythologiques et astronomiques, médicaux, citant de nombreux textes anciens. Ce livre est demeuré une source importante quant à la datation de nombreux textes disparus. , Parisiis (Paris) 1585, in 8 (18x11,5cm) (14) (1bc) 578pp. -77., Un Vol. relié.
