      S.l. S.t. 1473. In 4°, m. pelle no coeva, cc.nn. 176. Edizione poco conosciuta attribuita alle stampe del Convento dei SS. Udalric ed Afre intorno al 1473 (- Van Praet, Second Cat. T.I.p. 187 III p. 120). Una copia stampata su velina è stata acquisita da Lord Spencer (Biblioth. Spencer, VIII, p. 144 ). Carta forte. Ampi marg. Capolettere manoscritte, ad inchiostro rosso. Rare fioriture. Tracce di tarletto su poche pp. che riguardano solo i marg. Da un'attenta ricerca bibliografica il volume risulta formato da 178 cc.nn. + 1 bianca, pertanto la copia in nostro possesso risulta mancante della carta bianca e delle prime due del registro. Alcuni dei dati bibliografici sono stati estratti dalla prima carta di testo (cc.nn. 8 del vol.). Opera rarissima ed in buone condizioni.

60) Incisione originale su rame raffigurante "La Madonna detta della Misericordia", da un dipinto di Fra Bartolomeo conservato nella Pinacoteca di Lucca.
      Bella tavola in formato cm.93x60, incisa da Giuseppe Saunders su disegno di Carlo Fanucchi. Formato della incisione cm.73x48. Al piede la dedicatoria del Fanucchi "A Sua Altezza Reale e Imperiale Carlo Lodovico, Duca di Lucca" con stemma borbonico. Eccellenti condizioni di conservazione. Baccio della Porta (Firenze, 1473-1517) è il nome originale del pittore fiorentino, che cambiò in Fra Bartolommeo quando si ascrisse all'ordine domenicano nel 1500 in seguito all'influenza su di lui esercitata dalle concioni di Girolamo Savonarola. Allievo di Cosimo Roselli, iniziò la produzione artistica nel 1504, lavorando ad una "Visione di San Bernardo" che vide la luce nel 1507 ed è conservata presso l'Accademia fiorentina. Influenzato da Giovanni Bellini durante un viaggio a Venezia, realizzò numerose opere di grande pregio, fra cui l'ultima è la presente "Madonna della Misericordia" (1515), che riflette la maestosità dello stile di Michelangiolo e Raffaello, incontrati durante un soggiorno a Roma nel 1514.

GREGORY I , Saint, Pope 		   
Homiliae super Evangeliis. [Augsburg, Günther Zainer], 28 August
      First two initials in red and blue pasted over spaces.Folio. (303 x 205mm.) [142]ff. 33 lines, gothic letter. Early 19th century calf, possibly by C. Lewis, triple gilt fillet on covers, spine gilt in compartments, black morocco labels. 1473. First edition of the Homilies on the Gospels by Pope Gregory I which were among the most widely read and venerated texts of the Middle Ages. They were delivered to the people of Rome in 590-591 soon after his election to the papacy and represent his only surviving liturgical teaching. Unlike his other works which were delivered to monastic audiences, the Homilies on the Gospels are pastoral talks which he made more direct and less allegorical, with numerous examples drawn from life, so that the text also preserves significant anecdotes about Gregory himself, and the times he lived in. The work was enormously popular in the Middle Ages, and survives in over 400 manuscripts.Printed in Gunther Zainer's square heavy type, which the printer had begun to use from 1470. Gunther Zainer was the first printer in Augsburg; he was a native of Reurlingen and completed his first book at Augsburg on 12 March 1468. His press remained active until 1477, although he himself appears to have given up the business in 1475, and retired to the Buxheim Charterhouse where he died on 13 April 1478.Provenance.

Frater Johannes (Hrsg.): 		   
Speculum humanae salvationis cum speculo S. Mariae Virginis (lateinisch u. deutsch). (GWM 43054, H 14929, Schramm II, 521).
      Augsburg, Günther Zainer, 1473. Type 2.. Einspaltiges, 34-zeiliges O-Inkunabelblatt mit einem Holzschnitt (12 x 7,2 cm) und einer 3-zeiligen Lombarde. Fachgerecht restaurierter Einriss im oberen Randbereich und den obersten 3 Zeilen. Kleine Wurmlöcher im Rand. Wasserzeichen: Ochsenkopf mit Kreuz- und Blumenstandarte. Blattgröße: 19,2 x 28 cm. Incunabula text woodcut leaf.. Blatt aus der Erstausgabe des Speculum humanae. Der Inkunabelkatalog (INKA) gibt an, dass das Werk möglicherweise auch im Kloster St. Ulrich und Afra gedruckt worden sein kann. Der Holzschnitt zeigt den, mit den Schriftgelehrten diskutierenden Knaben Jesus. Diese für den deutschen Sprachraum ungewohnte pädagogische Freiheit der offenen Diskussion, wird noch heute in der Redewendung "Das ist ja so laut, wie in der Judenschule" deutlich. Auch für den Holzschneider war ein mit Lehrern diskutierender Knabe nicht im Bereich ihrer Alltagserfahrung und sie stellten deshalb den Knaben Jesu als Lehrenden und Erhöhten dar. Die Textstelle im Neuen Testament lautet jedoch: "Nach drei Tagen fanden sie (seine Eltern) ihn im Tempel. Er saß mitten unter den Lehrern, hörte ihnen zu und stellten Fragen an sie. " (Lk. 2, 46).

Flemish Primitives IV: Masters with Provisional Names
      Brepols (distributed) This fourth volume examines all the works attributed to masters with provisional names from the 1470s to the first half of the 16th century (Master of the Joseph Sequence, Master of the Magdalen Legend, Master of the Orsoy Altarpiece, Master of the Saint Barbara Legend, Master of the Saint Catherine Legend, Master of the Saint Lucy Legend, Master of the Saint Ursula Legend, Master of the View of Saint-Gudule, Master of 1473). It was towards 1900 that anonymous works were first grouped, on the basis of stylistic affinities, around certain paintings presenting particular characteristics. Each group is attributed to an anonymous master named after the painting (the eponymous work) which forms the basis for this group. These ensembles serve to give direction to the work of art historians, in the hope of identifying these anonymous painters at a later date. Some of these groups, to which new works have been added over past decades, appear fairly heterogeneous, and merit critical reexamination in the light of modern analysis methods. Like the three previous volumes, this one is published in English and abundantly illustrated with colour photographs of the investigated paintings, detail photographs and comparative material. Each of the nineteen paintings has been submitted to exhaustive and detailed examination following a scientific research method which has been fully established over the years. This includes, on the one hand, examination of the supports and the original frames, dendrochronological analysis, infrared reflectography, stereomicroscopic observation, radiographic analysis, ultraviolet fluorescence imaging and, where possible, examination of paint samples and, on the other hand, historical, iconographic and stylistic analysis, dating, attribution and bibliography. Information is drawn from documents in the museum's archives and supplemented with material held at the Royal Institute for the Study and Conservation of Belgium's Artistic Heritage (IRPA/KIK) and the Centre for the Study of Fifteenth-Century Painting in the Southern Netherlands and the Principality of Liège. Each group of paintings attributed to a master with a provisional name is introduced with a short status quaestionis evoking the origins of the grouping and the principal publications relating to it. In their notices on the individual paintings, the authors have based their research on comparing them as closely as possible with the works around which each ensemble is grouped. Certain paintings in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium are themselves eponymous works. In these cases the authors have made every effort to document these reference works as thoroughly as possible. 458p, 316 b/w illus, 195 col illus (Brepols, December 2006). 9782503517438. Hardback

Mantua: J. Vurster and J. Baumeister, [ca. 1473]. First edition of Aristotle's Problemata; this is one of the earliest of any of the texts by Aristotle to be published. The Problemata are a collection of scientific dissertations in the form of questions and answers ascribed to Aristotle in twenty chapters.

The text was translated by Theodorus Gaza (ca. 1400-1475), who fled from his native city of Thessalonica before its capture by the Turks in 1430. He was one of the leaders of the revival of learning in the 15th century. In 1447 he became professor of Greek in the new university of Ferrara, to which his fame soon attracted students from all parts of Italy. In 1450, at the invitation of Pope Nicholas V, he went to Rome, where he was for some years employed in making Latin translations from Aristotle and other Greek authors. With the signature and notes of Tobias Faber, very probably the Lutheran minister who flourished ca. 1580 and was the author of Theses Medicae (Basel: 1580).

SUPPLEMENTUM SUMMAE PISANELLAE . INSIEME A: ASTESANUS DE ASTI. CANONES POENITENTIALES.VENETIIS, BARTHOLOMAEUS CREMONENSIS, 30 NOV. 1473.
      In 4 (mm.258 x215) di (352 cc.), bella legatura seicentesca in pergamena, piatti riquadrati in oro e decorati ai piccoli ferri ,testo in carattere rotondo,su due colonne, interamente rubricato in rosso e bleu, margini amplissimi, carta frusciante, minimi aloni a qualche pagina, in esemplare freschissimo e assai bello. Seconda edizione a stampa, impressa appena quattro mesi dopo la princeps, di uno dei testi capitali della riflessione teologico-giuridica.del secolo XVI. Composto da Nicolo' da Osimo, canonista e teologo francescano,vicario in Terra Santa ,il Supplementum, concepito come la continuazione della Summa Pisanella del frate domenicano Bartolomeo da San Concordio fu portato a termine nel novembre 1444. Strutturata come un dizionario di teologia morale, l'opera dette un significativo contributo alla razionalizzazione del metodo casistico che venne affermandosi all'indomani del Concilio Lateranense IV. La lineare organizzazione di tipo alfabetico unita all'assai cospicuo numero di fattispecie prese in esame, oltre a determinarne l'immediata e pressoche' universale adozione da parte degli ordini mendicanti, decretandone cosi' lo straordinario successo editoriale ( solo nel XV secolo si contano oltre 20 edizioni) , dette un contributo non secondario alla sedimentazione della normativa di diritto canonico.

La Lega di Cambrai fu una lega contro la Repubblica di Venezia formata il 10 dicembre 1508 sotto la guida di Papa Giulio II. Ad essa aderirono, oltre al pontefice, Luigi XII di Francia, l'imperatore Massimiliano I, Ferdinando II d'Aragona e il Duca di Ferrara Alfonso I d'Este. La Lega combatte le forze veneziane dal 1508 al 1511: dopo avere sbaragliato le forze veneziane nella battaglia di Agnadello e averne distrutto la flotta nella battaglia di Polesella, l'esercito della Lega arrivo' quasi alle ripe salse (cioe' alle coste della laguna di Venezia) e mise inutilmente sotto assedio Padova; peraltro il condottiero veneziano Bartolomeo d'Alviano consegui' una brillante vittoria in Cadore. Gli avvenimenti successivi resero del tutto vani i risultati da essa conseguiti in terra veneta. Inizialmente, le forze della Lega intendevano occupare e spartirsi la Terraferma dello stato veneto. In base agli accordi, Massimiliano avrebbe ricevuto Verona, Vicenza, Padova e l'Istria. Alla Francia, che gia' occupava Milano, sarebbero andate Bergamo e Cremona. Otranto sarebbe tornata agli Aragonesi, mentre il papa avrebbe esteso il suo dominio sui restanti possedimenti veneziani. Nel 1510, tuttavia, Giulio II ritenne che la Francia rappresentasse per gli equilibri nella penisola una minaccia ben piu' grave di Venezia. Fu cosi' che il pontefice lascio' la Lega di Cambrai per allearsi con la Serenissima. L'anno seguente, anche la Spagna e il Sacro Romano Impero cambiarono schieramento, portando cosi' alla creazione della Lega Santa contro la Francia.

Incisione originale su rame raffigurante "La Madonna detta della Misericordia", da un dipinto di Fra Bartolomeo conservato nella Pinacoteca di Lucca.
      Bella tavola in formato cm.93x60, incisa da Giuseppe Saunders su disegno di Carlo Fanucchi. Formatodella incisione cm.73x48. Al piede la dedicatoria del Fanucchi "A Sua Altezza Reale e Imperiale Carlo Lodovico, Duca di Lucca" con stemma borbonico. Eccellenti condizioni di conservazione. Baccio della Porta (Firenze, 1473-1517) è il nome originale del pittore fiorentino, che cambiò in Fra Bartolommeo quando si ascrisse all'ordine domenicano nel 1500 in seguito all'influenza su di lui esercitata dalle concioni di Girolamo Savonarola. Allievo di Cosimo Roselli, iniziò la produzione artistica nel 1504, lavorando ad una "Visione di San Bernardo" che vide la luce nel 1507 ed è conservata presso l'Accademia fiorentina. Influenzato da Giovanni Bellini durante un viaggio a Venezia, realizzò numerose opere di grande pregio, fra cui l'ultima è la presente "Madonna della Misericordia" (1515), che riflette la maestosità dello stile di Michelangiolo e Raffaello, incontrati durante un soggiorno a Roma nel 1514.

Georg Reyser aus Ensingen leitete in Strassburg von etwa 1468 bis 1478 die Druckerrei, die als die des Drucker des Henricus Ariminensis bekannt ist. Kurt Ohly wies nach, dass diese von Georg und Michael Reyser geführt wurde. Während Michael in Strassburg im Gefängnis saß begann Georg auf Wunsch des Bischofs Rudolf von Scherenberg seine Druckertätigkeit im Jahre 1479 in Würzburg, die 1504 wohl mit seinem Tod endete. Michael Reyser konnte mit Hilfe des Würzburger Bischofs 1480 nach Würzburg nachkommen. Und arbeitete dort bis etwa 1482 und ging anschließend nach Eichstätt, wo er bis 1494 nachweisbar ist. (Geldner I, 63f., 230, 261ff.) "Die Schrift des Henricus Ariminensis kann bis zu einem gewissen Grade als eine Urschrift gelten. Es bleibt aber doch bemerkenswert, dass ein großer Teil ihrer Formen sich bereits in der Type 5 des Heinrich Eggestein vorgebildet findet." (Haebler, 1927, S. 61).

Manuscript Illumination in Lyons, 1473-1530 (Ars Nova 3)
      Brepols Publishers 2002 In the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, Lyons grew into one of Europe's great commercial centres and even served as an unofficial second capital of the French kingdom. While scholars have long recognized the city's prominent role in the history of printing, this is the first book to survey the art of manuscript illumination after the introduction of printing to Lyons in 1473. Using the manuscripts themselves as its main source, this study identifies and assesses the art of Lyons's busiest illuminators' workshops. It then reviews the nature of patronage and the activities of the illuminators during the close of the Middle Ages and the dawn of the Renaissance. The picture that emerges is one of a tightly knit community of artists adapting their production of fine religious and secular manuscripts to the changing demand of the clergy, the merchant class, the nobility, writers, and members of the court. A descriptive catalogue provides complementary information on 136 illuminated manuscripts, books, and leaves, many of them never published at length. The work is illustrated by a broad selection of colour and black-and-white reproductions. 480pp. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Vocabularius rerum [in Latin and German].
      [Augsburg, Günther Zainer, 1473-74] Folio (290 x 208 mm), ff 138, gothic letter, large woodcut initial at beginning of text, painted in red, some underlining and initial strokes supplied in red; leaves numbered in MS with cross-references in the index, occasional MS annotations, a very fresh, large copy, with many deckle edges, pastiche binding ca 1900 of wooden boards and blind-stamped calf spine. £40,000 First edition, extremely rare, of the first printed technical dictionary, and, after the Vocabularius ex quo, the first dictionary to employ two languages. This work is devoted entirely to technical terms, each with its own section, of medicine (four sections), culinary and medicinal herbs and food plants, zoology, mining and mineralogy, navigation, architecture, textiles, tanning and leather work, musical instruments, books and book production, cooking and kitchen utensils, baking, wine and viticulture, gambling, carpentry, horses and carriages, etc. 'Some of the words are highly technical, lexicographical rarities. In the section on scribes and book production we find definitions not only of the traditional scribal tools (calamus, stilus, graphius, pugillaris, etc.), but also of such specialist words as antipira (= the scribe's eye-shade, for protection against the fire or candle-light), corrosorium (= the mill or grinder to reduce chalk to a powder for the preparation of vellum), and epicausterium (= the table-cloth on which the parchment is laid for ease of writing). None of these last words occurs, for example, in Karen Gould's "Terms for Book Production in a Fifteenth-Century Latin-English Nominale", The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, 79 (1985), pp. 75-99. There is also an entry on the distinction between the words liber, volumen, and codex; likewise between exemplar and exemplum.' (Nicholas Poole-Wilson). A large part of the work is devoted to medicine, including anatomical terms, surgical terms and instruments, diseases and their definitions, etc. There are also extensive lists of plants, including culinary, horticultual, and medicinal plants. 'Possessed of a knowledge of names rather than of things, the mediaeval student had one urgent need - a dictionary. New words began to pour in - in Arabic, Syriac, Hebrew, and Greek - whose meanings he sought to know; and, for the medical student, there were new drugs, the composition and uses of which were essential to his practice. It is not surprising then to find books of the dictionary class among the first to be printed... The Vocabularius, a Latin-German dictiionary from the press of Günther Zainer, Augsburg, about 1473, has four sections devoted to medicine: (1) De homine et de diversis membris, in which the parts of the body are defined in order, with the German equivalents; brief references to authors are given. (2) De nominibus balneatorum etc., containing all the terms relating to bathing, bleeding, and cupping. (3) De medicis et eorum que pertinent ad medicine artes. The definitions here are most interesting... Siringa is described as a metallic instrument with which a surgeon injects resolving medicines into the Virile member in order to dissolve calculi in the bladder. (4) De nominibus quorundam egritudinum, contains seven and a half folios of definitions of diseases.' (Osler, Incunabula medica). This work is very rare, no copy having appeared at auction in Britain or America for over twenty-five years. Provenance: André Simon, with bookplate, but not in his Bibliotheca Bacchica nor in the 1981 sale catalogue of his gastronomy collection C6326; BMC II 321; Klebs (Add) 1044.01; Osler IM 47; Goff V322 (Chicago, Grolier, Huntington, Yale, and National Library of Medicine); Poynter 600 (William Morris copy); Sudhoff 104; Stillwell 288; Schullian and Somer 485; ISTC lists, in addition to the five U.S. locations above, two copies in London (BL and Wellcome), one each in Italy (Vatican), Basel, Copenhagen, and Kyoto, and 18 in Germany, of which at least one is imperfect
