Middleton, Richard of (ca. 1249-1308)
   
Commentum super quartem sententarium. [bound with: handwritten Index of the late Middle Ages].
      Venice, Christophorus Arnoldus, [1476-77].. Folio; 10.4 in x 7.5. 278 leaves; a10, b8, c6, d-i10, k12, l-z10, A-D10, E12. Modern vellum binding. Very good condition.. IncunabulaThis beautiful incunable contai0ns an commentary by the Franciscan monk Richard of Middleton (also Richardus de Mediavilla) to the famous and often discussed "Sententiae" by Petrus Lombardus. The commentary was printed by Christophorus Arnoldus in two editions. The one at hand is exceptionally rarer than the other. A wonderfully painted initial can be found at the beginning of the text. It stretches over half the page in length and is decorated with ornaments of dots and lines. All other initials are smaller but nonetheless artistically painted. They are placed at the beginning each paragraph and stretch over 2-3 lines. The text is printed in a Gothic type set in two columns and completely rubricated in strong red ink. Elegant modern vellum binding. Author and title are gilt-stamped onto the spine. [Condition of the binding: Very Good (-) / Condition of the paper: Very Good (-) / Further remarks: The binding is slightly rubbed with some minor stains. The first couple of pages are loosened. Some leaves with very light water stains. First leave with blacked out exlibris. On the whole this is a very impressive work which, especially for its age, has been preserved in extraordinary condition.] The "Sententiae" are the main work by the respected scholastic and bishop of Paris Petrus Lombardus (c. 1100 - 1160). The text contains important theological ideas on the doctrine of the trinity, creation, incarnation and the scraments. When it was first published in 1158 it was one of the most important writings of its time and Petrus Lombardus was awarded the title of "Magister Sententarium". Later, commenting this work became a vital part of studying theology. That is why many important church fathers like Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventura and Albertus Magnus have all written commentaries on the "Sententiae". Richard of Middleton (c. 1249 - 1308) was the first Franciscan to write a complete commentary on the sentences after Bonaventura. He was rooted deeply in the Augustine-Franciscan traditions. Nonetheless he was also very influenced by the ideas of Thomas Aquinas, which might prove that he belonged to the Aristotelian branch of the Franciscan movement. After teaching the "Sententiae" at university, Middleton began writing the commentary in 1281. When he finished his work in 1284 he had already been promoted to the director of the Franciscan school of Paris. Middleton's origins remained a mysteries and have been the subject of many a discussion. Until today it is not known whether he was English or French. Most scholars have settled for the theory that Middleton belonged to the Menevill or Meynil family from Northumberland and had latinised his name. Regardless of his nationality, he is regarded as one of the most important theologians of the 13th century. His other works include "Quaestiones disputae", "Quodlibeta" and "Homilien". His most important, however, is the commentary on the "Sententiae". The copy at hand being a very early and rare print. It is in extraordinary condition which adds to the value of this beautiful incunable.

BRUNI LEONARDO (ARETINO)
   
Historia Florentina tradotta da Donato Acciaioli.
      Venezia, Giacomo De Rossi, 12 febbraio 1476.In-fol. (mm.315x215), cc.nn.218; 41 linee, caratteri romani. Spazi capitali. Leg. p.pelle. sec.XIX, titolo oro al dorso, piatti impressi a freddo con stemma nobiliare al centro in oro, tagli dorati. Lievi bruniture marginali su poche carte, cerniere rinforzate, ma ottimo esemplare, in carta forte. - Leonardo Bruni, detto l'Aretino, nacque ad Arezzo nel 1370; nel 1405 cominciò la carriera dei pubblici uffici a Roma, sotto Innocenzo VII. Dopo il concilio di Costanza (1414) si trasferì definitivamente a Firenze dove tenne la carica di cancelliere della Repubblica dal 1427 sino alla morte, avvenuta nel 1444. Bruni fu un umanista di profonda cultura e tra i maggiori scrittori in latino del suo tempo, soprattutto come traduttore dal greco di Platone e di Aristotele dei quali tradusse numerore opere. La sua opera più importante è l'Historia Florentina: la prima storia di Firenze basata su un accurato esame critico delle fonti grazie anche agli incarichi di Cancelliere che il Bruni ricoprì prima alla Corte papale e poi a Firenze.Divisa in dodici libri, iniziata nel 1414 e conclusa con il Commentario degli avvenimenti del suo tempo (Rerum suo tempore gestarum commentarius) scritto nel 1378-1440, l'opera è tesa a esaltare la libertà di Firenze, ad affermare il suo ruolo egemonico in Italia, rivolgendo l'attenzione più alla costituzione interna e alle vicende civili, che non alle imprese militari: sono concetti espressi con una profondità e un senso critico insoliti alle cronache del tempo.Hain, 13172; B.M.C., V, 215; IGI, 7940; Goff, 873; Id., B-1247; Moreni, II, 162-163; D.B.I., XIII, 640-646.

Ottimo esemplare a pieni margini, in carta forte. - Poggio Bracciolini Gian Francesco (Terranova Bracciolini 1380 - Firenze 1459) occupò importanti magistrature alla Corte di Roma; nel 1404 ricoprì l'ufficio di scrittore apostolico, fu poi all'estero al Concilio di Costanza. Visitò varii monasteri svizzeri, francesi e tedeschi che gli permisero di scoprire opere di classici. Nel 1423 tornò a Roma con l'ufficio di Segretario Apostolico, che nel 1453 cambiò con quello di Cancelliere della Repubblica fiorentina. Il Bracciolini non fu un pensatore di rilievo, ma più di ogni altro umanista del primo '400, espose in maniera agile dottrine da lui ben assimilate. Usò una prosa latina viva e senza pedanteria; importanti fra le sue opere: Dialoghi, De Varietate fortunae, Liber facetiarium e Historia florentina, che fu volgarizzata dal figlio Jacopo (1442-1478). Questa Historia abbraccia le cose della Repubblica fiorentina dal 1350 al 1455 e costituisce una fonte a stampa di notevole importanza.Leonardo Bruni, detto l'Aretino, nacque ad Arezzo nel 1370; nel 1405 cominciò la carriera dei pubblici uffici a Roma, sotto Innocenzo VII.

PERALDUS GUIL.
   
De fide et legibus.
      (Augsburg, Günther Zainer, 1475-1476). Small folio. Contemporary richly blind-stamped vellum over wooden boards, with two brass clasps, blue painted edges. With all initials supplied in red, rubricated throughout. (139) leaves. Editio princeps of a mediaeval work on Church Law by Guilielmus Peraldus, or Guillaume Pérault or Peyraud, doctor at the Paris University and bishop of Lyon (ca. 1190-1255). The work is mostly ascribed to Guillermus or Guillelmus Arvernus, bishop of Paris, and a very popular author, who died in 1248. In our copy the author is called: "Wilhelmi Epilugdunensis", and "doctoris parisiensis". The present, somewhat mysterious edition, was probably the only edition and published by the first printer of Augsburg, Günther Zainer. His first book, the "Meditationes" of Bonaventura was published in 1468 and Zainer died on April 13, 1478. Hain and Polain date the present work at ca. 1469, but other bibliographers date the work at ca. 1475-1476. The book is well produced, printed in a fine small Roman type, with 43 lines to a page, and is finished by hand and rubricated throughout. The first blank is lacking. On top of the first text-leaf a contemporary ms. note reads: "Cart. in Buxheim", and a small stamp of the "Bibl. Buxheim:" is present at the bottom. So the book originally belonged to the Carthusians at Buxheim in Germany. The publisher Zainer was after his death remembered for his gifts to the Carthusian Monastry at Buxheim, and our copy may have been one of these. The Monastry's library was sold in the 19th century. Our copy has also an interesting contemporary German binding. Fine large paper copy, with the additional bookplate of the Library of George Dunn of Woolley Hall, near Maidenhead.- (Binding sl. stained and rubbed). Goff G 711; Proctor 1556; BMC II 323; Hain-Copinger 8317; Polain 1807; Oates 883; IGI 4602; STC German p. 681.

Middleton, Richard von (ca. 1249-1308)
   
Commentum super quartem sententarium.: [beigebunden: handschriftlicher, spätmittelalterlicher Index]
      Venedig, Christophorus Arnoldus, [1476-77]. Folio; 26,5 cm hoch und 19 cm tief. 278 Blatt; a10, b8, c6, d-i10, k12, l-z10, A-D10, E12. Neuerer Ganzpergamentband. Sehr guter Zustand. Diese wunderschöne Inkunabel beeinhaltet einen Kommentar des Franziskanermönchs Richard von Middleton (auch Richardus de Mediavilla) zu dem berühmten und viel diskutierten Werk "Sententiae" von Petrus Lombardus. Das Werk wurde von Christophoros Arnoldus in zwei Auflagen gedruckt, von denen diese bei weitem die seltenere ist. Der Text wurde komplett in einem leuchtenden Rot rubriziert. Zu Beginn des eigentlichen Werkes, dem eine Inhaltsangabe vorangestellt wurde, findet sich eine sehr prächtige Schmuckinitiale. Sie erstreckt sich über die Hälfte der Seite und wurde mit einem Muster aus Linien und Punkten kunstvoll verziert. Alle weiteren Initialen wurden in besonders schöner Optik gestaltet. Zu Beginn eines jeden Absatzes sind sie von einer Größe, die sich über zwei, häufig auch über drei Zeilen erstreckt. Der Text wurde zweispaltig, in einer hübschen, kleinen gotischen Type gesetzt. Neuerer Pergamenteinband von schlichter Eleganz. Auf dem Rücken findet sich eine edle goldgeprägte Angabe von Autor und Titel. [Zustand des Einbandes: 1- / Zustand des Papiers: 1- / Sonstige Anmerkungen: Der Einband ist etwas berieben und weist kleinere Flecken auf. Die ersten Seiten des Buches sind etwas gelockert. Das Papier ist geringfügig nachgedunkelt und hat einige Braun- und Fingerflecken. Auf einigen Seiten finden sich leichte Wasserflecken. Das erste Blatt sowie einige Seiten des Indexes weisen sehr kleine Wurmgänge auf. Die erste Textseite wurde mit einem handschriftlichen Besitzvermerk versehen, der später durchgestrichen wurde. Insgesamt ist das Werk, vor allem unter Berücksichtigung seines Alters, in einem hervorragenden Zustand.] Bei der "Sententiae" handelt es sich um das in vier Bänden erschienene Hauptwerk des Scholastikers und Bischofs von Paris, Petrus Lombardus (ca. 1100-1160). Es beinhaltet die wichtigen theologischen Themen der Gotteslehre und Trinität, Schöpfung, Inkarnation und Sakramente. Das Werk, dessen erste erhaltene Fassung von 1158 stammt, war zu dieser Zeit das wichtigste seiner Art und brachte Lombardus den Ehrentitel des "Magister Sententarium" ein. Die Kommentierung dieses Werkes wurde etwas später zu einem festen Bestandteil des Magisterstudiums der Theologie. In diesem Zusammenhang entstanden auch die wichtigen Kommentare der "Sententiae" von z.B. Thomas von Aquin, Bonaventura oder Albertus Magnus. Als erster Franziskaner nach Bonaventura gab Richard von Middleton (ca. 1249-1308) einen vollständigen Kommentar zu den Sentenzen heraus. Er war mit der augustinisch-franziskanischen Tradition stark verwurzelt. Trotzdem stand er unter einem gewissen Einfluss der Ideen und Ansichten Thomas von Aquins, was darauf schließen lässt, dass er eher dem aristotelischen Zweig der Franziskaner angehörte. Nachdem Middleton an der Universität schon Vorlesungen zu den Sentenzen gehalten hatte, begann er um 1281 mit der Arbeit an dem vorliegenden Kommentar, welchen er etwa 1284 vollendete. Zu dieser Zeit hatte er auch die Position des Direktors der Franziskanerschule in Paris inne. Ein großes Rätsel und Inhalt vieler Diskussionen war die Herkunft Middletons. Es ist bis heute nicht geklärt, ob er aus England oder Frankreich stammte. Es wird allerdings vermutet, dass er ursprünglich aus der englischen Grafschaft Northumberland kam und Mitglied der Familie Menevill oder Meynil war, deren Name latinisiert wurde. Middleton, der als einer der wichtigsten Theologen des 13. Jahrhunderts angesehen wird, gab unter anderem die Werke "Quaestiones disputae", "Quodlibeta" und "Homilien" heraus. Das wichtigste bleibt jedoch der Sentenzenkommentar, der hier in einer sehr frühen und äußerst seltenen Ausgabe vorliegt. Der außerordentlich gute Zustand macht diese Rarität darüber hinaus zu einem einzigartigen Schmuckstück.

Filelfo, Francesco (1398-1481)
   
Satyrarum Hecatostichon Decades Decem
      Mailand, Christopher Valdarfer, 13. November 1476. Erstauflage. 4°; 27,4 cm hoch, 19,5 cm tief. 150 Bll. (a-s8, t6). Goff P615, Hain 12917*, WG M33062, CIBN P-329 Späterer Ganzpergamenteinband. Guter Zustand. Das "Satyrarum hecastichon decades decem" besteht, wie der Name schon verrät, aus zehn Büchern oder Dekaden. Jede Dekade wiederum vereint zehn Satiren. Und jede Satire umfasst exakt 100 Zeilen. Die erste Dekade wurde wahrscheinlich schon im Winter von 1432 verfasst, während der gesamte Zyklus allerdings erst im Dezember 1448 abgeschlossen wurde. Der Text ist der lyrischen Form entsprechend in schlichter Eleganz gesetzt. Die Anfangsbuchstaben der Zeilen sind jeweils in Großbuchstaben und etwas nach links gerückt abgedruckt. Die Überschriften hingegen sind ganz in Kapitalen gedruckt und zentral ausgerichtet. Durch zusätzliche Einrückung der folgenden drei Zeilen verschaffte der Drucker dem Gedicht eine bessere Übersicht. Diese einfache aber wirkungsvolle Art den Text zu setzen zeugt vom Alter dieser Inkunabel. Obwohl aus Italien bereits 1465 erste Pressen bekannt sind, erreichte der Buchdruck Mailand erst relativ spät im Jahre 1470. Das vorliegende Werk kann also zu den ersten gedruckten Büchern der Mailänder Offizien gezählt werden. Späterer Ganzpergamenteinband von schlichter Eleganz mit dreiseitigem Rotschnitt. Der Autor und der Kurztitel der Inkunabel sowie der Druckort und das -jahr sind auf den Buchrücken aufgeprägt. [Zustand des Einbandes: 2+ / Zustand des Papiers: 2 / Sonstige Anmerkungen: Der Einband ist leicht berieben. Das Papier in sehr guter Qualität erhalten und lediglich an den Rändern teilweise fleckig. Das erste Blatt ist beschmutzt und weist zwei kleine Löchern im Randbereich auf, welche von alten Tintenflecken stammen. Die letzten 12 Blatt mit kleiner Wurmspur und vereinzelt mit minimalem Buchstabenverlust. Insgesamt eine sehr gut erhaltene Inkunabel.] Francesco Filelfo (1398-1481) war ein Humanist der italienischen Renaissance. Er machte es sich zu seiner Lebensaufgabe die griechische Antike für die italienische Kultur wiederzuentdecken. Während Petrarca und die florentinischen Studenten am Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts die Vorarbeit zur Renaissance leisteten, indem sie wichtige römische Autoren entdeckten und das Lateinstudium wieder einführten, konzentrierte sich Filelfo auf die griechische Antike. Nach einem Studium der Rhetorik und der lateinischen Sprache, ermöglichte ihm der venetische Staat 1419 als Gesandter nach Konstantinopel zu reisen, wo Filelfo unter dem bekannten Chrysoloras griechisch lernte und eine beachtliche Sammlung Kodizes erwarb, die er zum besseren Studium nach Italien brachte. Neben zahlreicher wichtiger Übersetzungen von Aristoteles, Plutarch, Xenophon und Lysias, verfasste er auch zahlreiche lyrische Werke. Der vorliegende Zyklus ist im klassischen griechischen Stil der satirischen Dichtung geschrieben, den sich Filelfo beim Studium griechischer Werke aneignete und in die zeitgenössische Dichtung einführte. Sein Werk kann als maßgebend für die Renaissance gewertet werden. Wie kein Anderer gab er sich intensiv dem Studium der Antike hin, lehrte an verschiedensten Universitäten und verfasste unzählige Werke. Filelfo war ein Pionier des Humanismus und wichtiger Wegbereiter des Erasmus von Rotterdam sowie des italienischen Humanisten Angelo Poliziano. Der vorliegende Gedichtzyklus gehört zu Filelfos letzten Werken und liegt hier in der sehr seltenen und schönen Inkunabel-Erstausgabe vor.

VORAGINE, Jacobus de.
   
Printed by the first printers in France Legenda aurea.
      Paris, Martin Crantz, Ulrich Gering and Michael Friburger, (ca. 1476).. Folio. 18th century light brown calf, gilt fillets along the edges, spine gilt in compartments with two red labels with gilt lettering: 'Legenda sanctorum' and 'Parisiis absque anno', gilt inner dentelles, marbled edges. Rubricated throughout with the capitals painted alternately in red and blue, the first initial in gold against a blue and red background, heightened with white interlace, with penwork extending into the right margin. Printed in two columns, 45 lines to a page. Type: 114SG. Collation: (a)-(m)10 (n)12 (o)-(z) (A)-(F)10. (292) lvs, complete with the first and last blank.. One of the early incunable editions of the famous Legenda aurea , written and composed between 1260 and 1267 by Jacopo de Varazze - better known as Jacob de Voragine - in the Dominican monastery at Genua. Certainly it is the most popular and highly influential compilation of Saints' lives from the Middle Ages: at least 91 Latin, and 7 Italian, 5 English, 20 French, 2 German and 33 Dutch editions have been printed before the year 1500. The Legenda aurea contain ca. 160 lives of saints and 20 treatises on the principal feasts of the church. As there are a number of undated early editions, it is difficult to say which edition is the first, but probably the Zainer edition printed in Augsburg in 1468-70 can be considered as such.is the splendid and rare second Paris edition of the Legenda printed by the well-known combination of the three printers Martin Crantz from Strasbourg, Ulrich Gering from Constance and Michael Friburger from Colmar - all three being members of the intellectual set at the Sorbonne at Paris - who had started producing books with the financial backing of Guillaume Fichet and Jean Heynlin in the later part of 1470, establishing the very first press on French soil. After three years they moved their printing house, named 'Le soleil d'or', or 'In sole aureo', to the Rue Saint Jacques. On the first of September in 1475 their first edition of the Legenda aurea was published. The present undated edition appears to be the later one and is generally considered to be printed in the course of 1476. Contents: f. 1: blank. 2r: Prologus: Incipit prologus super legendas sanctorum; quas compilavit frater Iacobus Ianuensis natione, de ordine fratrum predicatorum; [U]NIVERSUM tempus.... 2v-3v: Contents. 3v-281 r: (col. 2) Incipiunt legende sanctorum.

Regiomontanus, Johannes (1436-1476).
   
Kalendarium.
      Venezia, Bernhard Maler, Peter Löslein e Erahrd Ratdolt, 1476. "In-4° (mm 270x203). Segnatura: [a8,b10, c14]. 32 carte non numerate. Caratteri 109:R per il testo e 2:50G per alcune parole o lettere delle tavole. Testo su 30 linee. Frontespizio stampato in rosso e nero racchiuso entro elegante bordura silografica ornata. Iniziali gotiche e lombarde in rosso e nero. Quattro grandi diagrammi silografici a piena pagina: l’Instrumentum horarum inequalium e l’Instrumentum veri motus lunae quest’ultimo completo delle due parti mobili legate insieme da un filo di canapa; il Quadrans horologii horizontalis, il Quadratum Horarium generale - stampati su due fogli incollati insieme alla fine del volume - con una lancetta in ottone che permette di utilizzare la tavola come una sorta di orologio solare costruito per i viaggiatori. Nel testo 60 diagrammi raffiguranti le varie fasi delle eclissi lunari e solari (alcune ripetute), molte colorate a mano in giallo. Legatura settecentesca in carta marmorizzata entro camicia di mezzo marocchino verde con titolo in oro al dorso e astuccio. Esemplare in ottimo stato di conservazione, le carte incollate tra loro con normale brunitura uniforme. Primo libro nella storia della stampa in cui compaia un frontespizio. È probabile che l’edizione in latino sia stata stampata per prima, poiché presentava meno difficoltà per i tre tipografi stranieri, e che ad essa spetti la priorità assoluta nell’ordine cronologico della produzione italiana del Ratdolt e dei suoi socii Bernhard Pictor detto ‘il pittore’, anche lui originario di Asburgo e Peter Löslein, originario di Norimberga, in qualità di ‘correttore’. Nello stesso 1476 l’opera dell’astronomo tedesco venne tradotta e impressa in italiano. La geniale ed elegantissima progettazione tipografica dell’edizione - con un vero e proprio frontespizio entro raffinata bordura vegetale e l’indicazione del luogo di stampa («veneta impressum fuit»), anno e nomi dei tipografi - fa sì che sia rimasta un unicum in tutta la storia del libro. Johann Müller (detto Regiomontanus dal nome latinizzato della sua città di origine) fu un celebre astronomo che ha il merito di aver semplificato l’apparato matematico-asronomico; per volontà di Sisto iv collaborò alla riforma del calendario giuliano. Durante il suo viaggio verso Roma si fermò a Venezia dove collaborò con Ratdolt alla pubblicazione delle sue effemeridi, una serie di tabelle che contengono dati precisi riguardo alla posizione, nel corso di un particolare intervallo di tempo, dei corpi celesti. HC 13776; BMC V, 243; Goff R, 93; IGI 5310; Klebs 836, 2; Sander 6400; Essling 247. Beautiful copy of Kalendarium, with all movable parts and hinged decorative brass pointer hand. The first book in printing history in which a title-page with typographical notes appears and probably the first book printed in Italy by Ratdolt and his partners. A landmark in history of astronomy."

Filelfo, Francesco (1398-1481)
   
Satyrarum Hecatostichon Decades Decem
      Milan, Christopher Valdarfer, 13th November, 1476. First Edition. 4to; 10.8 in x 7.7 in. 150 leaves (a-s8, tg). Goff P615, Hain 12917*, WG M33062, CIBN P-329 Later full vellum binding. Good condition. The " Satyrarum Hecatostichon Decades Decem" consists as the name suggests of ten books or decades. Each decade includes ten satires, which in turn are made up of exactly 100 verses. The first decade was most probably written in the winter of 1432. The whole cycle was finished in December 1448. The text is set elegantly simple reflecting the lyrical form. The initial letters if each line are printed in capitals and are a bit removed to the left. The headlines of the decades and satires are aligned to the middle and completely capitalised. By moving the next three lines in the printer achieved improved readibility and a better understanding of the poems. This simple but effective way of setting a text shows the age of this incunable. Even though Italy got its first printing workshop in 1465, Milan did not have a press until late in 1470. The work at hand therefore counts amongst the first works ever to be printed in Milan's workshops. Later full vellum binding, all edges of the book block red. Author and title of this incunabulum as well s the printing location and year are written in beautiful hand on the spine. [ Condition of the binding: Good (+) / Condition of the paper: Good / Further remarks: The binding is slightly rubbed. Paper is very well preserved, with occasional, very light foxing in the margins. First leaf with stronger foxing and two holes by an old ink mark. Text not affected. Last 12 leaves with small worm holes, some single letters touched. On the whole this is a very impressive early incunablua edition of the first printing workshops in Milan of one of Italy's greatest men of the renaissance. ] Francesco Filelfo (1398-1481) was an important Italian humanist of the renaissance period. He pioneered the discovery of classic Greek antiquity for Italian culture. While Petrarch and the Florentine students formed the beginning of the renaissance in the late 14th century by reintroducing Roman authors and promoting the study of Latin at university, Filelfo concentrated mostly on the studies of ancient Greece. After studying rhetorics and Latin the Venetian state sent him on diplomatic missions to Constantinople where Filelfo learned Greek under the famous teacher Chrysoloras. He also aquired a considerable collection of Codices which he imported to Italy for further studies. Apart from his pioneering translations of Aristotle, Plutarch, Xenophon and Lysias, Filelfo also wrote numerous lyrical texts. The poetic cycle at hand was written in the style of classic Greek satires which Filelfo acquired from his studies and introduced to his contemporaries. His work attitude was typical for the renaissance as he intensively studied the antique authors, taught at several universities and published various books. Feancesco Filelfo was one of the pioneers of humanism and paved the way for scholars like Erasmus of Rotterdam or the Italian humanist and poet Angelo Poliziano. The poetry cycle at hand was written at the height of Filelfo's artistic period. This first incunabula edition is therefore especially rare and preserved in truly beautifully condition.

POGGIUS FLORENTINUS.
   
Historia Florentina.
      Venice: Jacobus Rubeus, 8 March 1476. FIRST EDITION. Folio. 116 unnumbered ll., a10, b-c8, d-h10,i-k6, l-m10, n8. Roman letter, capital spaces, lightly foxed. A very nice copy on thick paper with good margins, in handsome English 18th-century diced goatskin, central roll-tooled gilt frame enclosed within a frame of triple-ruled gilt fillets, fleurons at corners, spine with six gilt elephants, emblem of Sir Andrew Fountaine of Narford, in seven compartments, outer and inner edges with floral pattern gilt. Joints a little cracked, corners and head and foot of spine very lightly bumped. Modern armorial plate of Robert Walsingham Martin inside upper cover, some early marginalia. In quarter leather box with folding chemise. A very nice copy of the handsome first edition of Giovanni Francesco Poggio Bracciolini's history of Florence from the Fountaine library. Bracciolini (1380-1459) was a noted Renaissance Humanist and an avid hunter and discoverer of manuscript sources of lost Classical texts. He acted as Apostolic Secretary to Boniface IX and five successive Popes, which role allowed him not only to travel but gave him the leisure to write on a wide range of subjects, including archaeology; his treatment of the ruins of Rome was perhaps the first systematic approach to the subject. After his retirement to Florence in 1452, he was appointed historiographer and head of the Chancery of the Republic, and composed the present work, a popular but partial history of the city from the beginning of the war with Milan in 1350 to the peace made with King Alfonso of Naples in 1455. Poggio set out to record events in print which were up till then preserved only in popular memory. An avowed imitator of Livy, Poggio was a great champion of, and wrote only in, Latin. His work, unfinished at his death, was translated into Italian by his son, Jacopo. The Latin version itself was not published until 1715. This first edition is a very early example of a popular modern history written of recent times for a general readership. It is of value as recording much incidental information which otherwise would have been lost. Jacobus Rubeus was Jacques le Rouge, a French printer from Chablis whose connection with Jensen (le Rouge is remembered in Jensen's will and may well have worked for him) influenced the style of his types, clear, upright and elegant. This edition is a product of his first press in Venice, which operated from 1473 to 1478, when he retired to Pinerolo near Turin; he stopped printing in 1481 and entered the book trade in a more general capacity. Sir Andrew Fountaine (1676-1753) had travelled to the continent in the early part of the 18th century and collected books. He was a friend of Pope, with whom he used to frequent the London bookshops, and is satirised by him in his 'Dunciad' as Annius the antiquary. He was also a collector of antiquities, miniatures and porcelain, and a friend of that great early 18th-century bibliophile, the Earl of Macclesfield.

Prima edizione della traduzione italiana curata da Donato Acciaioli delle Storie del popolo fiorentino (Historiae florentini populi) in dodici libri, iniziate da Leonardo Bruni Aretino (1370 - 1444) nel 1414, e la cui stesura accompagno' il celebre intellettuale, filosofo e scrittore tutta la vita. Lopera e' tesa a esaltare la liberta' di Firenze, ad affermare il suo ruolo egemonico in Italia: sono concetti gia' prefigurati da Bruni nel suo Elogio della citta' fiorentina (Laudatio florentinae urbis, 1401-3). Nella sua opera storiografica Bruni rivela un metodo fondato sul confronto dei documenti e sulla rinuncia a ogni interpretazione provvidenzialistica, tanto che la tradizionale narrazione delle origini leggendarie di Firenze viene abbandonata in favore di una breve compilazione sulla nascita della citta' in epoca romana. Buon esemplare, fresco ad ampi margini (lievi tracce di polvere al titolo su cui compare anche una nota di possesso di mano cinquecentesca di antica provenienza). HC 1562*. Goff B1247. BMC V 215.

      Esslingen, Konrad Fyner, 1476-78. Type 2. . Einspaltiges Original-Inkunabelblatt mit zwei 4-zeiligen roten Lombarden, im Randbereich etw. fleckig und kleiner Wurmgang, rotverzierte Versalbuchstaben. Blattgröße: 21 x 29 cm. Incunabula text leaf. . Konrad Fyner aus Gerhusen (Gerhausen bei Blaubeuren) ist der einzige nachweisbare Drucker Esslingens. Johannes Nider aus Isny trat um 1400 unter Konrad von Preußen zu Colmar in den Dominikanerorden, wo er seine Studien begann. Von 1429 - 31 war er Generalvikar der größtenteils von ihm selbst reformierten Klöster der oberdeutschen Ordensprovinzen. (Schieler 1885, II 26 ff.) Den Buchdruck erlernte er wohl bei Heinrich Eggestein in Strassburg und druckte seit 1472 in Eßlingen. Fyners Type 1 ist noch fast identisch mit der Type 5 von Eggestein und zeigt hier seine Nähe zu ihm. (Geldner 1968, 206) Seine Type 2 "darf man wohl als eine nach handschriftlicher Vorlage geschaffene Urtype ansehen". (Haebler 1927, S.42).

BOUCHET (Jean)
   
Sensuit le labyrinht (sic) de fortune et de Séjour des trois nobles dames. Composé par lacteur des Regnards traversans et loups ravissans surnommé le traveseur des voyes périlleuses (et autres oeuvres). Paris, Philippe le Noir (vers 1526). Petit in-4 gothique: maroquin rouge, décor "à la fanfare" sur les plats, armes au centre, dos à nerfs orné, filets sur les coupes, dentelle intérieure, tranches dorées sur marbrure (Belz-Niedrée).
      Belle édition gothique. Elle est dédiée à Marguerite de Valois. Le titre imprimé en rouge et noir est orné d'une grande lettrine et de la marque de Philippe Le Noir. Deuxième édition de ce traité poétique sur les malheurs qui accablent les hommes de toutes conditions. Jean Bouchet (1476-1557), poète et historien poitevin, fut le dernier des grands rhétoriqueurs. C'est à Poitiers que son Labyrinthe de fortune vit le jour (1522, et seconde émission en 1524) puis à Paris (Michel Le Noir, 1526, 1529 et 1534) et enfin chez Alain Lotrian (vers 1528). L'inventaire chronologique a ainsi permis de modifier et de compléter la séquence des éditions décrites par Tchermerzine. Spectaculaire reliure décorée "à la fanfare", exécutée avec maestria par le doreur Jean-Philppe Belz. Elle porte au centre les armes du baron Seillière (1890, numéro 444). Ex-libris Marcel Bénard (cat.1925, numéro 56). L'exemplaire figurait à l'exposition Dix siècles de livres français (Lucerne, 1949, numéro 90); il est le seul cité par Tchermerzine.
