Very Rare First Edition., the Editio Princeps. Printed with the Roman type designed by Jenson. The typography used for this important book is so beautiful and so basically correct that it has served as a model for all those typographical artists who have thoguht to carry on this tradition. Folio (278 x 180 mm), handsomely bound in 18th century green morocco, the covers with triple gilt fillet lines at the borders, the spine with raised bands, the compartments decorated with elaborately gilt panes with central ornamental tools, two morocco lettering labels gilt, gilt edges, marbled endleaves. 68 leaves (136 pp.) In a pleasing binding and a highly important rare survival, the binding remains in very sound and attractive state, lower outside corner of the first leaf skillfully repaired, interesting manuscript notations and emendations throughout, this copy washed in the 18th century when it was bound.. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. SolinusOs work, also called OCollectanea Rerum MemorabiliumO is a compendium of curiosities and wonders of the ancient world, with remarks on geographical, historical, social, religious and natural history questioins. The greatest part of this instances is taken from PlinyOs Onatural HistoryO and Pomponius Mela. Solinus is the only ancient writer who mentions the English Isle of Thanet. This text exerted a great influence during the Midle Ages, most notably upon Isidore of Seville and Brunetto Latini. Julius Solinus (fl. 250 AD), surnamed Polyhistor, or "Teller of Varied TalesO, Latin grammarian and compiler, proably flourished during the first half of the 3rd century A.D. He provided the standard source of geographic myth during all the years of the OGreat InterruptionO, from the fourth till the fourteenth centuries. It is doubtful if anyone else over so long a period has ever influenced geography "so profoundly or so mischievously." Solinus' work had wide appeal. Saint Augustine himself drew on Solinus', as did all the other leading Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages.E The stories and fabulous images that Solinus retailed enlivened Christian maps right down to the Age of Discovery. They became an all- encompassing network of fantasy, replacing the forgotten rational gridwork of latitude and longitude, which had been Ptolemy's legacy. Solinus found wonders near and far. From Italy he reported people who sacrificed to Apollo by dancing barefoot on burning coals, pythons that grew long and fat by feeding on the udders of milk cows, and lynxes whose urine congealed to "the hardness of precious stone, having magnetic powers and the color of amber." Grasshoppers and crickets in Rhegium still dared make no sound because Hercules, irritated by their noise, had once ordered them to keep silent. Further afield were the dog-headed Simeans of Ethiopia, ruled by a dog-king. Along the Ethiopian coast were peoples with four eyes, while along the Niger were ants as big as mastiffs. In Germany there was a mule-like creature with such a long upper lip that "he cannot feed except walking backward." Human monstrosities that were normal in remote parts of the world included tribes who had their eight-toed feet turned backwards, men with dogs' heads and talons for fingers who "barked for speech," people who had only one leg, but with a foot so large that it protected them from the hot sun by serving as a parasol. History of Science As to Jenson--O...(A)mong the early Venietian printers the most important was certainly Nicholas Jenson. A Frenchman by birth, he passed his apprenticeship in the Paris Mint, and became afterwards the head of the Mint at Tours. In 1458, in consequence of the stories of the invention of printing, he was sent by Charles VII to Mainz to learn the art, and introduce it into France. Jenson returned in 1461, when Louis XI had just been crowned; but he does not seem to have settled in France, and we first hear of him again in 1470 as a printer at Venice. From 1470 to 1480 he printed continuously, issuing, according to Sardini, at least one hundred and fifty five editions, though this number must be considerably under the mark. His will was drawn up on the 7th September 1480, and he died in the same month....In 1474 he began to use Gothic type (after a crisis in the printing and book trades during which Jenson developed the new type and began to use it in a significant way in his printing of a number of the most important law-texts)...and in 1471, in the EPISTOLAE FAMILIARES, he used Greek type in the quotations, the first instance of its employment in Venice.O Duff, Early Printed Books ...The COLOGNE CHRONICLE in 1499 made reference to Jenson in the following passage: -- OOne named Omnibonus wrote in a preface to the book called QUINCTILIANUS, and in some other books too, that a Walloon from France, named Nicol. Jenson, discovered first of all this masterly art (printing)...O While it is now agreed that the art was first discovered in Mainz by Gutenberg, JensonOs importance to the discovery and scientific advancement of printing cannot be overstated. He is one of the most important players in the development of the extraordinary art of printing which allowed the Rennaissance to flower. O His type has great clarity and liveliness, and at the same time an element of divine repose. The Jenson types are part of the same Renaissance glory that gave the world the supremely beautiful written letters of the humanistic scribes.O (Blumenthal) His cutting of types in Venice made the city a centre of the art for the centuries that followed.       [Bookseller: Buddenbrooks, Inc.]  2.   Check availability:     Biblio   Link/Print   Burin, E Manuscript Illuminations in Lyons (1473-1530) (ARS 3) (Ars Nova)       Brepols Publishers.

Vor allem die Spielforschung als einer der j�ngsten kulturhistorischen Wissenschaftszweige, gleichzeitig aber auch die f�cher�bergreifenden Disziplinen wie Rechtswissenschaft, Theologie, Medizin, Psychologie, P�dagogik u.a. waren bis heute auf Zufallsfunde und -kenntnisse angewiesen. Der erste Band der auf zwei Teile angelegten Bibliographie der Spielb�cher (= Band 12 der Verlagsreihe "Hiersemanns bibliographische Handb�cher") erfa�t s�mtliche praktischen theoretischen und literarischen Einzeldrucke von der Zeit der Wiegendrucke bis 1700, die das Spiel ausschlie�lich oder �berwiegend thematisieren. Damit sind Spielanleitungsb�cher aller Art gemeint (Regelb�cher, Anleitungen zu Zauberkunstst�cken und wissenschaftlichen Spielereien, Lernspielb�cher, Konversationsspiele, Los- und Orakelspiele etc.), wissenschaftliche Traktate (historische, philologische, juridische, moralische, p�dagogische, medizinische u.a. Untersuchungen), Texte zur Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung, sofern sie dem Spiel zuzuordnen sind, Lyrik, Drama und Prosa, musikalische Druckwerke und illustrative Darstellungen in Buchform. Der Begriff "Spiel" wird in seiner Kernbedeutung verstanden, d.h., Texte zu Festen, Turnieren, Sport im modernen Wortsinn werden nicht dazugerechnet, sehr wohl jedoch Ball- und Bewegungsspiele. Das ber�cksichtigte Sprachgebiet ist das europ�ische unter Einschlu� des Lateinischen, jedoch mit Ausnahme der slawischen und skandinavischen Sprachen, letztere sollen im zweiten Band nachgetragen werden. Zur exakten und ausf�hrlichen Titelaufnahme und Beschreibung der Drucke geh�ren die Nennung der diversen Auflagen und Ausgaben, Verweise auf Quellen und Sekund�rliteratur, ein Kommentar mit biographischen, texthistorischen und inhaltlichen Angaben sowie die Standortnennung mit Bibliothekssignatur. Drei Register: Autoren, Herausgeber, �bersetzer, Bearbeiter; Drucker, Verleger, Buchh�ndler; Spiele, vervollst�ndigen die Angaben der Haupteintr�ge und sollen das gezielte Auffinden relevanter Informationen erleichtern. Ausgew�hlte Illustrationen aus den Druckwerken (Titelkupfer, Frontispize) dokumentieren die ikonographische Seite dieser Texte. Die auf Deutsch, Englisch und Franz�sisch gebotene Einleitung analysiert die bibliographischen Rahmenbedingungen und die historische Entwicklung der erfa�ten Werke. Band 2 wird in zwei Teilb�nden den Zeitraum des 18. Jahrhunderts behandeln sowie Nachtr�ge und Texte, in welchen das Spiel als Mittel zur Darstellung politischer Gegebenheiten (Satiren, Pamphlete) oder als Metapher des gesellschaftlichen Gef�ges benutzt wird, bringen.       [Bookseller: Antiquariat-Versandbuchhandel Uwe L�b]  8.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   "ARNAULD DE VILLENEUVE;VALESCUS DE TARENTE;PIETRO D'ABANO;" De arte cognoscendi venena.

Subjects include mathematics, meteorology, medicine, wine, botany, oceanography, vision, and color. 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.

Prima rarissima edizione di due importanti opere autobiografiche di Francesco Petrarca � il Secretum e il De vita solitaria � che si trovano, nella maggioranza dei casi, legate insieme e che sono ascrivibili all�attivit� tipografica di uno stampatore identificabile con Adolf Rausch, originario di Ingweiler e genero di Johann Mentelin � del quale prosegu� l�attivit� e che oper� probabilmente tra la fine degli anni �60 e la fine degli anni �70 del Quattrocento. Adolf Rausch � noto anche col nome di �R-printer�, dalla forma caratteristica che contraddistingue la �R� del carattere 103, utilizzato da questo stampatore. Composto tra il 1342 e il 1343, il Secretum, il cui titolo esteso � De secreto conflictu curarum mearum, �s�incornicia in una visione al modo di Boezio, apparendo all�autore la consueta �mulier quaedam inenarrabilis aetatis et luminis�, che qui � la Verit�; la quale come le �donne benedette� di Dante a Virgilio, lo affida a Sant�Agostino: e s�intenda quello delle Confessioni e del De vera religione, le opere [�] espressamente nominate. Il santo Dottore ha col Petrarca tre giorni di colloqui, a ognuno dei quali � dedicato un libro. Agostino imputa l�infelicit� del peccatore alla sua negligenza della morte, nozione astratta che non diventa concreto fondamento d�azione; mette a nudo i suoi vizi, la superbia, la lussuria e soprattutto l�accidia, questa radicale insoddisfazione di s� e del mondo; nell�ultimo libro denuncia l�amore dell�amore e quello, collegato alla gloria, controdeducendo alla gloria il pensiero della morte, che per tal modo chiude il circolo� (G. Contini, la letteratura italiana delle origini, Firenze 20033, p. 646). Il De vita solitaria � invece comunemente considerato il migliore dei trattatelli del Petrarca �forse perch� nato, lo dice egli stesso alla fine dell�opera, come epistola (s�intenda un�epistola di tipo senechiano), il genere a lui pi� congeniale� (G. Contini, ibid., p. 654). L�opera venne redatta tra il 1346 e il 1356 ed � divisa in due libri in cui viene descritta come necessaria la vita contemplativa, sia per i religiosi, sia per i filosofi che per i pensatori in genere. L�ideale di vita per Petrarca � quello di una raccolta solitudine nella pace agreste, dedicata agli studi letterari e alla riflessione religiosa. First very rare edition of Petrarch�s two great autobiographical works, fundamental for the understanding of his inner life. The Secretum is Petrarch�s principal prose work, composed about 1342-43 and never intended for publication. It is his confession of faith and has been called the �deed of foundation of Humanism and a formal renunciation of Medievalism�. The second work is the De vita solitaria, written to justify Petrarch�s departure from Avignon and his retirement to Vaucluse. Though these two works are sometimes found singly, they properly belong together as here. 19th century brown calf blind decorated; edges sparkled red; modern slipcase.

English Text: 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 activity 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.       [Bookseller: Antiquariat-Versandbuchhandel Uwe L�b]  29.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   Nikolaus Kopernikus / Andreas Osiander Der Altere / Nicolaus Copernicus Nicolai Copernici Torinensis De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium: Libri VI / V I: in Quibus Stellarum Et Fixarum Et Erraticarum Motus Ex Veteribus Atque Recentibus Observationibus Restituit Hic Autor: Praeterea Tabulas Expeditas Luculentasque Addidit       Basileae 1566 / Modern Reprint.

About the author, excerpt from wikipedia: Nicolaus Copernicus, February 19, 1473 to May 24, 1543, was the first astronomer to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology, which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. His epochal book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres, is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy and the defining epiphany that began the Scientific Revolution. Although Greek, Indian and Muslim savants had published heliocentric hypotheses centuries before Copernicus, his publication of a scientific theory of heliocentrism, demonstrating that the motions of celestial objects can be explained without putting the Earth at rest in the center of the universe, stimulated further scientific investigations and became a landmark in the history of modern science that is known as the Copernican Revolution. Among the great polymaths of the Renaissance, Copernicus was a mathematician, astronomer, physician, classical scholar, translator, artist, Catholic cleric, jurist, governor, military leader, diplomat and economist. Among his many responsibilities, astronomy figured as little more than an avocation yet it...       [Bookseller: Alibris]  30.   Check availability:     Alibris   Link/Print   Manilius M(arcus)., Astronomicon ex recensione Richardi Bentleji cum selectis variorum ac propriis notis praefationi subjuncta varia de Manilio Judicia et Julii Pontederae epistola de Manilii Astronomia & Anno coelesti cura et studio M.

Third Edition. CD-ROM. Published by Primary Source Microfilm in association with the British Library. The English Short Title Catalogue is the largest retrospective cataloguing project ever undertaken and also the first on-line computerized catalog of early printed books, providing, as far as radically possible, a complete record of English 18th-century printing. This 3rd Edition of the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) on CD-ROM is the most complete edition to date. Included for the first time are records for: Every item in Pollard and Redgrave's A Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, & Ireland and of English Books Printed Abroad 1473-1640 (STC) , Wing's Short-Title Catalogue of Books Printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and British America and of English Books Printed in Other Countries 1641-1700) as well as thousands of records for pre-1701 items not included in either STC or Wing. Nearly 4,000 newspapers and other serials. In all, 465,000 records with approximately 3,000,000 appended locations are included. That is, 130,000 records and 1,000,000 locations more than the last edition, making the 3rd edition of the ESTC the most comprehensive resource for British and British colonial studies to 1800 ever. The aims of the ESTC are to provide a comprehensive bibliography of the printed output of the hand-press era, to list the whereabouts of surviving copies, and to note the existence of facsimiles. The holdings of over 2,000 libraries around the world are represented. Chronologically, the scope of the ESTC extends from the earliest printing in England (ca. 1473) to the end of December 1800. Geographically, it includes: All relevant items printed in the British Isles in any language All relevant items printed in Colonial America, the United States (1776-1800) and Canada; in any language All relevant items printed wholly or partly in English, or other British vernaculars, in any other part of the world. (R. C. Alston and M. J. Jannetta. Bibliography, Machine Readable Cataloguing and the ESTC, London, the British Library, 1978, p.16) Records for items that purport to be within geographical scope, but in fact are not. In particular, there are thousands of foreign language items of continental origin bearing false London imprints. Such imprints may very reasonably be sought within the ESTC, and have thus been included, with notes giving the true places of printing where these can be ascertained All letterpress items, monograph and serial (with these few exceptions: trade and visiting cards, labels, tickets, invitations, playbills, and theatre programs, playing cards, games and puzzles) , as well as some categories of engraved material, are included. The ESTC is the product of three editorial centers: the American Antiquarian Society, the British Library, and the Center for Bibliographical Studies and Research, University of California, Riverside.

PLEASE NOTE that we do not offer expedited shipping. Orders placed with the priority shipping option will automatically be canceled. The 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.

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 .

Pergamino. 274 hojas. 313 mm. x 223 mm. Plena piel del siglo XIX, con gofrados en tapas, nervios y dorados en lomera. Religi�n / Teolog�a / �tica / Monasterios /Ordenes Religiosas (Biblia-Historia de la Iglesia), Siglo XIV. JUNTO CON COD. 66/5 Manuscrito sobre pergamino original, fechado en el a�o de 1303, que contiene la Historia Escol�stica escrita por el ex�geta Petrus Comestor (Troyes - 1178 Par�s), tambi�n llamado Petrus Manducator, Petrus Trecensis y Pierre le Mangeur. Comestor fue Decano de Troyes, Canciller en Paris y Magistrado en Teolog�a. Esta obra fue escrita en 1170 y la primera edici�n impresa fue en el a�o de 1473. Durante la Edad Media, este libro ha sido considerado la principal obra de la historia b�blica y contiene, junto a los vastos y elaborados conocimientos, una presentaci�n teol�gica popular de la completa revelaci�n b�blica As�, por ejemplo, en la Historia Scholastica, Petrus Comestor hace una aclaraci�n sobre la cuesti�n de la creaci�n humana como "a imagen y semejanza de Dios". Se explica que, si bien la esencia y la raz�n (o sea, el alma) fueron hechas a imagen de Dios, las virtudes fueron hechas a semejanza, puesto que el hombre es pecador. En el fragmento dedicado a "Dela fechura dell omne e del Parayso", Alfonso cita a mahestre Pedro como fuente, pero no incluye esta explicaci�n sobre la naturaleza inferior de las virtudes humanas. En otro caso, Petrus Comestor dedica un extenso fragmento a la creaci�n del alma (no se dice simplemente que Dios "aspiro enel respiramiento de uida: e fue el ombre fecho e acabdo con alma uiua"). Se deja afuera una reflexi�n interesante sobre el problema teol�gico del "soplido divino", que podr�a traducirse as�: Cuando en lo que respecta al alma se dice "inspiravit" (sopl�, insufl�, otorg�, puso el h�lito vital), etc, como si dijera: ?hizo el cuerpo de tierra, y el alma de la nada?. Tiene otra traducci�n, "insufflavit", o mejor "sufflavit", lo que no es inapropiado acerca de Dios, como ciertos (eruditos) creen, al no poseer ni garganta (boca) ni esp�ritu. Porque Dios "inspiravit", es decir, cre� el esp�ritu. De la misma forma "insufflavit", es evidentemente ?cre� el alma?. De donde Isa�as: "cre� todo h�lito". Por otra parte lo dice "in faciem" (en el rostro), por sin�cdoque, se entiende el todo por la parte, dado que provey� de alma a todo el hombre. Pero nombr� s�lo el rostro porque es la parte m�s digna, puesto que alberga el sentido.       [Bookseller: Librer�a de Bilbao]  43.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   Laue/Mises, Stereoskopbilder von Kristallgittern I und II./ Stereoscopic drawings of crystal structures I and II.Springer Berlin, 1926 - 1936,       - 43 S. m. 3 Textfig. und gest. 24 Tafeln; 56 S. und 24 gest.

Ab 1496 wird in der Johann-Zainersche Offizin in Ulm die Arbeit wieder aufgenommen, aber in der Fachliteratur besteht keine Einigkeit dar�ber, von wem: von Johann Zainer selbst (so u.a. Geldner) oder von seinem gleichnamigen Sohn (so schon Wegener und neuerdings GW und Amelung). Biografisches ist �ber Johannes Gallensis nur wenig bekannt: geb. zwischen 1210 und 1230, walisischer Herkunft; gest. wahrscheinlich 1285 in Paris. 1257 kommt er zu den Franziskanern nach Oxford und lehrt ab 1258 im Rahmen des dortigen Ordensstudiums. 1281 bis 1283 ist er an der Universit�t von Paris t�tig; in dieser Zeit wird er auf eine diplomatische Mission nach Wales vom Erzbischof von Canterbury gesandt. "Durch seine Kompilationen, ohne systematischen Anspruch, bem�hte sich J.G., den Predigern seiner Zeit Material, vor allem solches von antiken Schriftstellern, zur moralischen Erbauung ihrer Zuh�rer an die Hand zu geben, sie selbst aber mit den Normen f�r ihr Verhalten und mit ihren Pflichten vertraut zu machen." (BBKL III, Sp. 287). Umstritten ist eine Stelle im communiloquium, in der das Ende eines Schachspiels mit dem Lebensende verglichen wird: "Die Welt gleiche einem Brett mit wei�en und schwarzen Feldern, auf denen die Menschen als Schachpuppen verschiedene Pl�tze einnehmen. Fr�h holt man die Figuren ... aus einem Sack hervor ... nach vollendetem Spiel wartet aber Aller, ungeachtet ihrer verschiedenen Stellung im Leben und im Spiele, der n�mliche Ort. Und wie der K�nig dabei wohl zuunterst im Beutel zu liegen komme, so k�nnten auch die Gro�en der Erde zur H�lle, die Armen aber in den Himmel gelangen. Auf dem Brett des Lebens spielt der Teufel mit dem Menschen und sagt ihm Schach , wer sich dann nicht schnell bekehrt, dessen Seele wird mit Matt geraubt". (J. Seifert, Schachphilosophie, 1989, S. 117). In zwei Inkunabelausgaben ist sie enthalten, in den beiden anderen - wie in unserer - nicht; so wird sie auch als Interpolation gesehen. Die Zuweisung des ausgezeichnet erhaltenen Einbandes an J�rg Schapf aus Augsburg ist gut fundamentiert: Die Deckelaufteilung entspricht der bei Kyriss 63 abgebildeten, alle Stempel sind in der Einbanddatenbank der Staatsbibliothek Berlin unter diesem Binder aufgelistet. Auf dem Vorderdeckel folgt auf einen schmalen Rand ein Rahmen mit Rosettenstempeln,sechsbl�ttrig, Bl�tter breit und gebuchtet, umrandet im Quadrat (so weder bei S-S noch in EBDB). In dem inneren gro�en Rechteck findet sich Rautengerank (EBDB s002566 / S-S Rautengerank 137), in dessen inneren Feldern ein Stempel "Staude mit Krause" (EBDB s002561/ S-S Blattwerk 370). Der R�ckendeckel tr�gt das gleiche Rautengerank mit Staude, der Rahmen darum ist mit Kopfstempeln besetzt (EBDB s002555 / S-S Kopfstempel 29) - laut v. Rabenau ein f�r Schapf typisches Dekor (S-S II, S. 9). Auf dem R�cken wiederholen sich die Kopfstempel des Rautengeranks. Ein sehr breitrandiges Exemplar: eine Reihe von Temoins sind sichtbar. Schwach gebr�unt und gering fingerfleckig (Vors�tze und Spiegel st�rker). Vorderer Vorsatz verso mit alter handschr. Bibliothekssignatur, Bl. y8 recto �ber dem eingemalten Wappen der Besitzereintrag: "Johannes Weydenhuser possessor huius libri". Ein ungew�hnlich gut erhaltenes Exemplar im originalen Zustand.

Printed with the Roman type designed by Jenson. The typography used for this important book is so beautiful and so basically correct that it has served as a model for all those typographical artists who have thoguht to carry on this tradition. Folio (278 x 180 mm), handsomely bound in 18th century green morocco, the covers with triple gilt fillet lines at the borders, the spine with raised bands, the compartments decorated with elaborately gilt panes with central ornamental tools, two morocco lettering labels gilt, gilt edges, marbled endleaves. 68 leaves (136 pp.) In a pleasing binding and a highly important rare survival, the binding remains in very sound and attractive state, lower outside corner of the first leaf skillfully repaired, interesting manuscript notations and emendations throughout, this copy washed in the 18th century when it was bound. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. Solinus�s work, also called �Collectanea Rerum Memorabilium� is a compendium of curiosities and wonders of the ancient world, with remarks on geographical, historical, social, religious and natural history questioins. The greatest part of this instances is taken from Pliny�s �natural History� and Pomponius Mela. Solinus is the only ancient writer who mentions the English Isle of Thanet. This text exerted a great influence during the Midle Ages, most notably upon Isidore of Seville and Brunetto Latini. Julius Solinus (fl. 250 AD), surnamed Polyhistor, or "Teller of Varied Tales�, Latin grammarian and compiler, proably flourished during the first half of the 3rd century A.D. He provided the standard source of geographic myth during all the years of the �Great Interruption�, from the fourth till the fourteenth centuries. It is doubtful if anyone else over so long a period has ever influenced geography "so profoundly or so mischievously." Solinus' work had wide appeal. Saint Augustine himself drew on Solinus', as did all the other leading Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages.� The stories and fabulous images that Solinus retailed enlivened Christian maps right down to the Age of Discovery. They became an all- encompassing network of fantasy, replacing the forgotten rational gridwork of latitude and longitude, which had been Ptolemy's legacy. Solinus found wonders near and far. From Italy he reported people who sacrificed to Apollo by dancing barefoot on burning coals, pythons that grew long and fat by feeding on the udders of milk cows, and lynxes whose urine congealed to "the hardness of precious stone, having magnetic powers and the color of amber." Grasshoppers and crickets in Rhegium still dared make no sound because Hercules, irritated by their noise, had once ordered them to keep silent. Further afield were the dog-headed Simeans of Ethiopia, ruled by a dog-king. Along the Ethiopian coast were peoples with four eyes, while along the Niger were ants as big as mastiffs. In Germany there was a mule-like creature with such a long upper lip that "he cannot feed except walking backward." Human monstrosities that were normal in remote parts of the world included tribes who had their eight-toed feet turned backwards, men with dogs' heads and talons for fingers who "barked for speech," people who had only one leg, but with a foot so large that it protected them from the hot sun by serving as a parasol. History of Science As to Jenson--�.(A)mong the early Venietian printers the most important was certainly Nicholas Jenson. A Frenchman by birth, he passed his apprenticeship in the Paris Mint, and became afterwards the head of the Mint at Tours.

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 G�nther 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).

New 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.

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.

SITU ORBIS TERRARUM ET MEMORABILIBUS QUAE MUNDI AMBITU CONTINENTUR LIBER       (Venetiis: Nicolaus Jenson, 1473) Very Rare First Edition., the Editio Princeps. Printed with the Roman type designed by Jenson. The typography used for this important book is so beautiful and so basically correct that it has served as a model for all those typographical artists who have thoguht to carry on this tradition. Folio (278 x 180 mm), handsomely bound in 18th century green morocco, the covers with triple gilt fillet lines at the borders, the spine with raised bands, the compartments decorated with elaborately gilt panes with central ornamental tools, two morocco lettering labels gilt, gilt edges, marbled endleaves. 68 leaves (136 pp.) In a pleasing binding and a highly important rare survival, the binding remains in very sound and attractive state, lower outside corner of the first leaf skillfully repaired, interesting manuscript notations and emendations throughout, this copy washed in the 18th century when it was bound. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT WORK. Solinus�s work, also called �Collectanea Rerum Memorabilium� is a compendium of curiosities and wonders of the ancient world, with remarks on geographical, historical, social, religious and natural history questioins. The greatest part of this instances is taken from Pliny�s �natural History� and Pomponius Mela. Solinus is the only ancient writer who mentions the English Isle of Thanet. This text exerted a great influence during the Midle Ages, most notably upon Isidore of Seville and Brunetto Latini. Julius Solinus (fl. 250 AD), surnamed Polyhistor, or "Teller of Varied Tales�, Latin grammarian and compiler, proably flourished during the first half of the 3rd century A.D. He provided the standard source of geographic myth during all the years of the �Great Interruption�, from the fourth till the fourteenth centuries. It is doubtful if anyone else over so long a period has ever influenced geography "so profoundly or so mischievously." Solinus' work had wide appeal. Saint Augustine himself drew on Solinus', as did all the other leading Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages.� The stories and fabulous images that Solinus retailed enlivened Christian maps right down to the Age of Discovery. They became an all- encompassing network of fantasy, replacing the forgotten rational gridwork of latitude and longitude, which had been Ptolemy's legacy. Solinus found wonders near and far. From Italy he reported people who sacrificed to Apollo by dancing barefoot on burning coals, pythons that grew long and fat by feeding on the udders of milk cows, and lynxes whose urine congealed to "the hardness of precious stone, having magnetic powers and the color of amber." Grasshoppers and crickets in Rhegium still dared make no sound because Hercules, irritated by their noise, had once ordered them to keep silent. Further afield were the dog-headed Simeans of Ethiopia, ruled by a dog-king. Along the Ethiopian coast were peoples with four eyes, while along the Niger were ants as big as mastiffs. In Germany there was a mule-like creature with such a long upper lip that "he cannot feed except walking backward." Human monstrosities that were normal in remote parts of the world included tribes who had their eight-toed feet turned backwards, men with dogs' heads and talons for fingers who "barked for speech," people who had only one leg, but with a foot so large that it protected them from the hot sun by serving as a parasol. History of Science As to Jenson--�...(A)mong the early Venietian printers the most important was certainly Nicholas Jenson. A Frenchman by birth, he passed his apprenticeship in the Paris Mint, and became afterwards the head of the Mint at Tours. In 1458, in consequence of the stories of the invention of printing, he was sent by Charles VII to Mainz to learn the art, and introduce it into France. Jenson returned in 1461, when Louis XI had just been crowned; but he does not seem to have settled in France, and we first hear of him again in 1470 as a printer at Venice. From 1470 to 1480 he printed continuously, issuing, according to Sardini, at least one hundred and fifty five editions, though this number must be considerably under the mark. His will was drawn up on the 7th September 1480, and he died in the same month....In 1474 he began to use Gothic type (after a crisis in the printing and book trades during which Jenson developed the new type and began to use it in a significant way in his printing of a number of the most important law-texts)...and in 1471, in the EPISTOLAE FAMILIARES, he used Greek type in the quotations, the first instance of its employment in Venice.� Duff, Early Printed Books ...The COLOGNE CHRONICLE in 1499 made reference to Jenson in the following passage: -- �One named Omnibonus wrote in a preface to the book called QUINCTILIANUS, and in some other books too, that a Walloon from France, named Nicol. Jenson, discovered first of all this masterly art (printing)...� While it is now agreed that the art was first discovered in Mainz by Gutenberg, Jenson�s importance to the discovery and scientific advancement of printing cannot be overstated. He is one of the most important players in the development of the extraordinary art of printing which allowed the Rennaissance to flower. � His type has great clarity and liveliness, and at the same time an element of divine repose. The Jenson types are part of the same Renaissance glory that gave the world the supremely beautiful written letters of the humanistic scribes.� (Blumenthal) His cutting of types in Venice made the city a centre of the art for the centuries that followed.       [Bookseller: Buddenbrooks, Inc.]  67.   Check availability:     ILAB    choosebooks    Bibliopoly   Link/Print   Boccaccio, Giovanni.

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 G�nther 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).

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. Subjects include mathematics, meteorology, medicine, wine, botany, oceanography, vision, and color. 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.

Damit sind Spielanleitungsb�cher aller Art gemeint (Regelb�cher, Anleitungen zu Zauberkunstst�cken und wissenschaftlichen Spielereien, Lernspielb�cher, Konversationsspiele, Los- und Orakelspiele etc.), wissenschaftliche Traktate (historische, philologische, juridische, moralische, p�dagogische, medizinische u.a. Untersuchungen), Texte zur Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung, sofern sie dem Spiel zuzuordnen sind, Lyrik, Drama und Prosa, musikalische Druckwerke und illustrative Darstellungen in Buchform. Der Begriff "Spiel" wird in seiner Kernbedeutung verstanden, d.h., Texte zu Festen, Turnieren, Sport im modernen Wortsinn werden nicht dazugerechnet, sehr wohl jedoch Ball- und Bewegungsspiele. Das ber�cksichtigte Sprachgebiet ist das europ�ische unter Einschlu� des Lateinischen, jedoch mit Ausnahme der slawischen und skandinavischen Sprachen, letztere sollen im zweiten Band nachgetragen werden.CR Fast ausschlie�lich nach dem Prinzip der Autopsie in den wichtigsten europ�ischen Bibliotheken und Sammlungen erfa�t, sind im ersten Band 954 Titel zu finden, darunter eine Vielzahl von Unikaten.

Brand new. 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.       [Bookseller: Thunder Books]  73.   Check availability:     Biblio   Link/Print   Portrait, Portr�t.

The series was one of many commissioned by Maximilian to immortalize his reign as emperor. Most of the series were printed in very few impressions during the emperor's reign and remain very rare. Bartsch printed a new edition of the series after securing the original blocks in the 1790's. Beck designed woodcuts at the court of Maximilian I from 1512 until the early 1520s.Saint Wolfgangus (934-994) is known as one of the three brilliant stars of the tenth century, St. Ulrich, St. Conrad, and St. Wolfgang. After the death of Archbishop Henry of Trier, a close friend of St. Wolfgang, Wolfgang entered the Order of St. Benedict in the Abbey of Maria Einsiedeln, Switzerland, and was ordained priest by St. Ulrich in 968. After the death of Bishop Michael of Ratisbon, Bishop Piligrim obtained from the emperor the appointment of Wolfgang as Bishop of Ratisbon. After the summer of 983, St. Wolfgang withdrew as a hermit to a solitary spot, now the Lake of St. Wolfgang, apparently on account of a political dispute, but probably in the course of a journey of inspection to the monastery of Mendsee which was under the direction of the bishops of Ratisbon. He was discovered by a hunter and brought back to Ratisbon. While traveling on the Danube to Lower Austria, he fell ill at the village of Pupping, and at his request, was carried into the chapel of St. Othmar, where he died. 9 1/4 X 8 1/4 inches       [Bookseller: Childs Gallery Limited]  80.   Check availability:     ILAB   Link/Print   LEONARDO DA VINCI.

The original "Images of the Saints", a series of 119 woodcuts, was completed by Hans Burgkmair (1473-1531), Hans Schaufelein (ca.1480-1540), and Leonhard Beck at the court of the Hapsburg Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1531). The series was one of many commissioned by Maximilian to immortalize his reign as emperor. Most of the series were printed in very few impressions during the emperor's reign and remain very rare. Bartsch printed a new edition of the series after securing the original blocks in the 1790's. Beck designed woodcuts at the court of Maximilian I from 1512 until the early 1520s.Saint Wunibald, was born in Wessex, England, and went on a pilgrimage to Rome and the Holy Land with his brother and father. When their father died at Lucca, the brothers proceeded to Rome. Wunibald remained in the Eternal City while his brother went on to the Holy Land. Wunibald studied in Rome for seven years, went back to England, but then returned to Rome determined to enter the religious life. At the invitation of St. Boniface, he gathered together a group of English missionaries and went to Germany in 739. Wunibald was ordained, labored in Thuringia and Bavaria, and then joined his brother in his missionary work in Holland. With his brother, he founded the monastery in Germany, where he served as abbot with his sister as abbess. He struggled against the local pagans and strove to make the monastery one of the leading ecclesiastical centers in Germany.
