Faksimile
Aesopus Vita et Fabulae - Ulm 1476
|
- Die Fabel gehört zu den frühesten literarischen Äußerungen der Menschheit. Wegweisende Bedeutung erlangten die auf den griechischen Sklaven Aesop (6. Jahrhundert v.Chr.) zurückgehenden Tierfabeln. Aesop erreichte von seinem Herrn die Freiheit, als dieser erkannte, daß Aesop ihm an Klugheit weit überlegen war. Das aus der Antike überlieferte aesopische Fabelgut war in den mittelalterlichen Klosterschulen ein beliebter Lesestoff. Ein wichtiger Teil unserer Kultur sind Aesops Fabeln bis heute geblieben und die Lebensweisheiten der Fabeln haben auch in unserer Zeit ihre Gültigkeit nicht verloren. Die Erfindung des Buchdrucks förderte die Verbreitung. Unzählige Ausgaben der Aesop-Fabeln erschienen im Mittelalter, aber unerreicht blieb Heinrich Steinhöwels 1476 in Ulm erschienener Aesop, der wegen seiner zauberhaften Holzschnitt-Illustrationen als eines der schönsten deutschen Bücher aller Zeiten gilt. Dieser sogenannte »Ulmer Aesop« enthält alle damals bekannten Aesop-Fabeln. Ihre Berühmtheit verdankt diese prachtvolle Ausgabe den über 190 zauberhaften Holzschnitt-Illustrationen, die von der Fachwelt dem Meister des Ulmer Chorgestühls, Jörg Syrlin d.Ä., zugeschrieben werden. Besonders reizvoll ist, daß Steinhöwel dem lateinischen Text gleich seine, auch heute noch verständlich lesbare, deutsche Übersetzung folgen läßt. Die Privat-Sammlung Otto Schäfer Schweinfurt hat ein Original von unschätzbarem Wert zur ersten und einmaligen Faksimilierung zu Verfügung gestellt, um es einem ausgewählten Kreis von Kunstfreunden zugänglich zu machen. Die kleine Auflage von weltweit nur 800 einzeln numerierten Exemplaren garantiert ein Buchkunstwerk von steigendem Wert. Der ausführliche Kommentar von Peter Amelung gibt eine verständliche Einführung. Seite für Seite wurde mit höchstem technischem Aufwand originalgetreu faksimiliert. Mit allen Stockflecken und Farbnuancen. Selbst die vom Bücherwurm verursachten Schäden wurden sichtbar gemacht. Viel Detailarbeit beanspruchten die 191 kolorierten Holzschnitte und die zahlreichen verzierten Initialen. Das 550 Seiten umfassende Werk ist handgebunden in einen wertvollen Ledereinband. Der umfangreiche Kommentar enthält eine verständliche Einführung in dieses faszinierende Werk. Er enthält auch mehrere in der faksimilierten Vorlage fehlende Seiten, die von den unkolorierten Originalen der Bibliotheken von München und Göttingen stammen. Faksimile im Originalformat 30,5 x 22,5 cm. 550 Seiten. Über 190 Holzschnitte. Handgebunden in Leder. Mit Kommentar im Schmuckschuber. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

HEROLT (Johannes).
LIBER DISCIPULI DE ERUDITIONE CHRISTI FIDELIUM. [INCUNABLE].
|
1476 Sans lieu, nom d'editeur, ni date [Strasbourg, Georg Husner, vers 1476]. Petit in-folio (jfsfg) basane brune sur ais, decor estampe a froid, encadrement d'un triple filet avec treillis de losanges au centre, dos posterieur de basane fauve, traces de fermoir (reliure de l'epoque) ; 248 feuillets non chiffres de 35 lignes longues. Volume compose de 30 cahiers, les quatre premiers et les deux derniers par 10, les 14 et 16emes par 6, et tous les autres par 8. Exemplaire orne de capitales peintes a l'encre rouge, rubrique de meme. Quelques rares notes et decorations dans les marges. MANQUENT les premier et dernier feuillets blancs, ainsi que le feuillet 227. Sur le premier feuillet ex-libris manuscrit des freres capucins " FF. Capuci Agonia Dni ". Deux ex-libris colles sur le premier contreplat : " Georgius Klok, M.D. Francofurti ad Moenum " et " Paul Helbronner ". Le dominicain allemand Johann HEROLT laissa de nombreux sermons, dont le succes s'expliquait par leur realisme et leur sens du concret. Ses propos sur les femmes et la religion ainsi que le mariage sauverent ce predicateur de l'oubli. Herolt tenta egalement de marquer de son empreinte les regles du catechisme du XVeme siecle. Dans le Liber Discipuli, il preche pour une amelioration des connaissances obligatoires du chretien : a la connaissance du Credo et du Pater Noster, augmentes des Dix Commandements imposes des le XIIIeme siecle, qui constituaient, avec parfois l'Ave Maria, la base de l'erudition du chretien de son epoque, Herolt n'ajouta pas moins de six dogmes : Les Neuf peches veniels, les Sept peches capitaux, les Six Actes de charite, les Sept sacrements et les Sept dons du Saint Esprit. Les synodes de Wurzburg en 1453 et de Regensburg en 1512 se contenterent neanmoins de quatre dogmes obligatoires : le Pater Noster, l'Ave Maria, le Credo et les Dix Commandements. GOOD COPY. PICTURES AND MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST.

"Fortescue was a favorite among the old lawyers, and will be read with profit in modern times by those who are interested in the origin and progress of the Common Law.": Marvin, Legal Bibliography (1847) 321. Sir Frederick Pollock [1845-1937], one of the greatest British judges and legal scholars of his day.

BRANDT, SEBASTIAN.
The Ship of Fools.
|
SINGLE LEAF. - Leaf LXXII. Text in English on one side and in Latin on the other side, the Latin text is printed in Roman type; the English is uniformly printed in the Gothic. The English text is by Alexander Barclay (1476-1552), it is a free imitation of the German poem. The English text is with a large (11,3 x 8 cm,) woodcut depicting a fool with his gees at market. London, Richard Pynson, 1509. 28 x 19 cm. The printer Richard Pynson (fl. 1490-1528) worked in Rouen before he came to London, where he began by printing legal works. About 1490 he took over the business of William de Machlinia. Pynson quickly became the most important printer of the day and became 1508 the second holder of the office of King's Printer. The author Sebastian Brant (1457- 1521) was a satirical poet whose work 'Das Narrenschiff' -- The Ship of Fools-- is the most famous German literary work of its time. Published in 1494, it tells the story of a sailing vessel taking a shipload of fools to a fool's paradise. Each of more than 100 characters embodies a particular facet of foolishness: drunkenness, lechery, greed, etc. Brandt's work was perhaps the most famous book of its time, and it appeared between 1494 and 1548 in German, Latin, French, English, Flemish and Dutch editions. Alexander Barclay's 'Ship of Fools' (1509) is a free imitation of the German poem, and a Latin version by Jacobus Locher (1497) was hardly less popular than the German original. 'The English 'Ship of fools' exereised an important direct influence upon our literature, pre-eminently to bury mediæval allegory in the grave which had long yawed before it, and to direct English authorship into the drama, essay, and novel of character' (A. W. Ward).

Bonisoli, Ognibene (1412-1474).
[De laudibus eloquentiae. Commentum in Ciceronis Oratorem].
|
Vicenza, [Johannes de Reno?], 22 dicembre 1476. "In-folio (mm 284x197). Segnatura: a6, b-c10, d-e8,f6; g10, h-i8, k6, l8, m6, n-q8, r6, f6, ff6, s6; s-t8, u10. 176 carte non numerate, il recto della prima carta bianco. Testo su una colonna di 44 linee. Caratteri 97R, Gk. Alla c. a2r iniziale miniata con corpo della lettera in blu e oro e decorazioni a grafismi in inchiostro blu, rosso e marrone. Alla c. b1r grande iniziale decorata con corpo della lettera in blu e marrone ornata da grafismi a penna in rosso e, all’interno, dal disegno stilizzato di un volto in inchiostro blu, rosso e marrone scuro. Capilettera dipinti in rosso nel testo; maiuscole toccate in inchiostro rosso in tutto il volume. Legatura settecentesca in vitello nocciola; dorso con titolo e decorazioni in oro e, al piede, il nome di uno dei proprietari ‘Brunck’; tagli rossi, sguardie in carta a pettine, segnalibro in seta verde. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, la prima carta - stampata al solo verso - rinforzata al recto; macchia di inchiostro rosso alla c. s1v. Nota di possesso manoscritta, probabilmente del xvii secolo al verso della prima carta: ‘Ex libris C. vercellum’. Antica segnatura manoscritta al recto della seconda carta: ‘Coll. Dol. 800 Jesu Cat. ins(?)’. Proveniente dalla biblioteca del classicista e critico Richard F. Ph. Brunck (1729-1803). Prima rara edizione del commento al De oratore di Cicerone dell’umanista e letterato Ognibene Bonisoli da Lonigo, che testimonia l’interesse quattrocentesco per la classicità aurea, all’interno della quale il celebre arpinate viene considerato tra i sommi maestri di stile ed eloquenza. Il Bonisoli, che era stato discepolo di Vittorino da Feltre, dopo aver insegnato a Treviso e a Vicenza, prese il posto del maestro a Mantova, dove risiedette dal 1449 al 1453. Rientrato a Vicenza, vi continuò l’insegnamento del greco e del latino sino alla morte. Alla sua scuola si formarono - tra gli altri - Niccolò Leoniceno e il Platina. Il commento all’Orator sembra inscriversi in un ideale progetto esegetico degli autori classici. Esperto di metrica e di prosodia, il Bonisoli tradusse e commentò anche Persio, Giovenale, Lucano oltre ad essere uno dei primissimi traduttori delle Favole di Esopo. First rare edition of the commentary of the Italian humanist Ognibene Bonisoli to Cicero’s De oratore which is very important because it witnesses the great interest for the great classical authors, considered masters of style and rethorics. Bonisoli teached Greek and Latin first in Treviso and Vicenza and then in Mantua and translated and commented many important authors such as Persius, Juvenal, Lucanus. He was also one of the first translators of Aesop’s Fables. Polished calf of the 18th century with spine label, gilt back in floral design and gilt-stamped ownership entry ‘Brunck’ on the back. Two beautiful illuminated initials (on ll. a2r and b1r). Initials painted in red or blue throughout. Good copy, the first leaf strenghtened, ink spot on l. s1v. Manuscript ownership inscription of the 17th century on the verso of the first leaf. Ancient shelfmark on second leaf. From the library of the classicist and critic Richard F. Ph. Brunck (1729-1803), who owned a precious collection of great value. HC* 10030; Goff L, 171; IGI 7000; BMC vii, 1041."

LIVIO Tito
Historiae Romanae decades (in italiano). Le Deche prima, terza e quarta (tradotte da Giovanni Boccaccio).
|
Roma, appresso al Palatio di San Marco (Vitus Puecher), 30 maggio - 20 luglio 1476, 3 vol. in-folio, ff. 174 (primo e ultimo bianchi; *8, a-c10, d6, e10, f8, g-i10, k8, l-o10, p-q8, r10, s8); ff. 176, (primo e l'ultimo bianchi; *12, A-E10, F12, G6, H14, I-M10, N8, O6, P12, Q10, R6); ff. 152 (*10, aa-cc10, dd8, ee-ff10, gg-hh8, ii-oo10, pp8); per un totale di 502 fogli impressi su carta pesante, privi di numerazione e segnatura, carattere romano. Magnifiche legature omogenee coeve in piena pelle su assicelle, decori geometrici impressi a secco sui piatti, fermagli metallici di chiusura conservati ai piatti poster. (4 per ciascuno dei primi due vol., 3 per l'ultimo); dorso a nervi con titolo ms. su tasselli in pergamena. Adorno di 3 pagine riccamente miniate al recto dell'incipit del testo di ciascun volume con iniziale a foglia d'oro, listello a bianchi girali sui toni del rosso, verde e blu, bottoni dorati e, nel bas de page, corona d'alloro per l'inserimento di armi mai realizzate. Centinaia d'iniziali filigranate in rosso e blu completano l'apparato decorativo, strettamente coevo e raffinato, dei volumi. Prima edizione della traduzione italiana delle Deche prima, terza e quarta di Tito Livio, completa dell'epistola dedicatoria di Luca di Giovanni Bonaccorsi, "Cartolaio fiorentino", a Giovanni Bernardo di Nicolo Cambini, non presente in tutti gli esemplari; in essa il dedicatario afferma: «ho facto nuouamente emendare et imprimere la prima Deca...traducta gia piu tempo in materno sermone da persona doctissima». Di grande importanza per la storia della letteratura italiana poiché la traduzione della terza e quarta Deca è assegnata a Giovanni Boccaccio (Billanovich 1951 e 1953; Casella 1961); la prima Decade è invece la anonima traduzione in italiano di una versione manoscritta francese, come si desume da una nota manoscritta sul codice canoniciano 146 della Bodleian di Oxford. L'attribuzione al Boccacio del volgarizzamento è stata avanzata in base a concordanze stilistiche e tematiche con l'opera del grande letterato, che infatti ampliò con proprie riflessioni il testo liviano. Sembra che il Boccaccio lavorasse alla traduzione sulla base di un manoscritto del Petrarca, che a partire dal 1330 cominciò un lavoro filologico sulle edizioni liviane raccogliendo diverse lezioni manoscritte in un unico codice che continuò a postillare sino alla morte. Incipit f. 1r del vol. I: "Tavola delle rubriche del primo libro della prima Deca di Tito Livio..."; colophon f. 151r del III vol. "Finito Lultimo libro della Quarta Deca...nel anno della Incarnatione di Christo M.CCCC.LXXVI". L'opera "Ab urbe condita libri", composta a partire dall'anno 27 o 26 a.C., rimane la più vasta di tutta la letteratura latina; ad essa Tito Livio (59 a.C. - 17 d.C.) si applicò per tutta la vita, narrando la storia di Roma dalle origini alla morte di Druso (9 a.C.) in 142 libri, di cui solo 35 giunsero fino a noi e cioè i libri I-X (con la storia che giunge al 293) e XXI-XLIV (con i fatti dal 219 al 167). Ma l'editore preferì limitarsi a pubblicare solo le Decadi complete, cioè i libri I-X, XXI-XXX e XXXI-XL. Di estrema rarità, soprattutto in pregiata legatura del tempo uniforme. Provenienza: Jacopo Serzelli (nota di possesso ms. al recto del primo f. di ciascun vol.); Conte Bardi-Serzelli (ex-libris ai contropiatti). Manca alla B. Vaticana. BMC IV, 65. HR 10144. BNF L-190. Pell 7219 (7160). IGI 5782 (10 esempl. in Italia). Goff L-251 (3 esempl). Bacchi della Lega p. 134: «Edfiz. in-fol. rarissima». Zambrini, Opere volgari...XIII-XIV sec., 997: «Rarissimo».

Cambridge: Printed by J. Smith for Joseph Butterworth, 1825. xvi, 280 pp. Octavo (8-1/2" x 5-1/2"). Later buckram, gilt title to spine. Some shelfwear and soiling, front and rear endleaves lacking. Toning to portions of text, internally clean. Ex-library. Location label to spine, bookplate to front pastedown, stamps to edges and endleaves. A solid copy. * De Laudibus Legum Angliae was written for the instruction of Edward, the young Prince of Wales. Cast in dialogue form, it demonstrates that the common law is the oldest and most reasonable legal system in Europe. It also compares the common and Roman systems and extols the superiority of a constitutionally limited monarch to a absolute monarch. De Laudibus was written around 1470 and first printed in 1567. "Fortescue was a favorite among the old lawyers, and will be read with profit in modern times by those who are interested in the origin and progress of the Common Law.": Marvin, Legal Bibliography (1847) 321.

- (8) pp. Alden & Landis 608/118 (3 copies); Asher 28/1 & Add.; Knuttel 1476; Muller, America 418/1; Sabin 98201 note; Tiele 686; OCLC WorldCat (1 copy); STCN (6 copies); cf. Simoni U-10 (2nd ed.). The last edition of the famous Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf (Dutch Beehive), printed to advertise and introduce a collective issue of thirty-seven anonymous pamphlets (more than the earlier editions) agitating against the proposed truce between Spain and the Netherlands in the middle of the Eighty Years' War, and warning the Dutch not to sacrifice their West Indian trade to the pursuit of peace. The anonymous publisher notes that a friend had urged him to gather together "all that has been published about the ceasefire and peace" because many people wished to collect the pamphlets and have them bound together, but since not even the booksellers know exactly what has been published, no one knows whether their collections are complete. He therefore brought together "all that I could get hold of" and added the present dialogue to be bound before them. In fact he included only pamphlets against the truce: none in favour of the truce! The main text of the present introductory pamphlet takes the form of a conversation between a Hollander (from the Dutch Republic in the Northern Netherlands) and a Flemish refugee (from the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands), the Hollander selling the Fleming the pamphlets, which are named individually. The present pamphlet therefore serves as a sort of catalogue, as well as a general introduction to the subject. The poem at the end, about Spain's untrustworthiness and the dangers of trying to make a peace settlement with them, is signed "Yemant Adams" (Someone Adams, a pseudonym probably meaning merely a descendent of Adam).On 4 May 1607, after forty years of war, Spain and the Dutch Republic began a ceasefire and peace negotiations that were to lead to the twelve-year truce two years later. The sharply divided opinions on the acceptable terms for peace and on the benefits and harm a truce might bring to the Republic set off a flood of pamphlets. The Dutch were considering establishing a West India Company, and Spain's wish to limit Dutch trade in the West Indies was the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations. The present pamphlet appeared in at least three editions (the STCN notes a fourth variant) listing an increasing number of pamphlets (from 30 in the first to 37 in the present third edition, including the introduction). All three are dated 1608 and apparently appeared after Easter (6 April) but before most of the pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608, for the ban specifically mentions two pamphlets listed only in the third edition. One pamphlet issued with the second and third editions discusses a letter written on 6 June 1608 and not generally known until 1 July 1608, so the second edition probably appeared around July and the present third in or shortly before August. Several of the key pamphlets in the collection were written by Willem Usselincx, but it is not known whether he had a hand in the introduction. His most beloved project was to establish the West India Company, and the present introduction mentions both the Spanish intent to snatch away the best part of the Indies trade and how important it is to safeguard the Republic's free trade in the West Indies. The Hollander in the dialogue explicitly notes (as in the first two editions) that some of the pamphlets are "difficult to find" and that one pamphlet exists under two different titles, so it had clearly gone through two editions before the first edition of the introduction. Some pamphlets listed in all three editions of the Bye-Korf, appear to have been printed only once, while some mentioned only in the third edition survive in several printings. Clearly the pamphlets were reprinted at irregular intervals as supplies ran out, and more study is needed to determine the order of the editions and which were issued with which editions

Alessandro Ariosto
Itinerarium (1476-1479)
|
- 644p. Ed. dell'Orso. Sorretto da auctoritates quali Plinio, Diodoro Siculo, Mela, Solino, Lattanzio, Cipriano, e da autori più ‘moderni’ come Mandeville e Niccolò de’ Conti, l’Itinerarium di Alessandro Ariosto prende forma intorno a tre grandi blocchi narrativi: una prima parte incentrata principalmente sul viaggio verso la Terra Santa, su Gerusalemme e sui luoghi santi; una seconda che presenta il Mar Rosso, il Sinai e, più in generale, l’Egitto con i suoi mirabilia (il Nilo e le piramidi in particolare); una terza dove grande risalto hanno l’India e le terre dell’Oriente più remoto. Per accompagnare il lettore sulle vie di questa peregrinatio (non priva, com’è ovvio, di richiami vetero e neotestamentari) e per arrecare una maggiore voluptas alla narrazione, l’Ariosto si affida alla forma dialogica. Il ‘tu’ con il quale egli dialoga è il cugino arciprete Ludovico, erudito ed esperto dei misteri celesti e delle res humanae. Il dialogo tra Alessandro

PHILELPHUS FRANCISCUS.
SATYRAE.

Milan: Christophorus Valdarfer, 1476 - [149] leaves missing the final blank. Single column roman type 35 lines of text per page. FIRST PRINTING. Attractive 19th century calf over thick bevelled boards very elaborately blind tooled in the style of 15th century books raised bands six spine panels two of them decorated with florals four with a pair of heraldic griffins. With initial spaces. Two small book labels on front pastedown: H.N.F. (Helmut N. Friedlaender) and a.r.s. Joints rather worn (though with no cracks) minor wear to corners and raised bands front cover with small area of lost patina but the binding solid bright and otherwise well preserved. First 44 leaves with small round wormholes in margin (beginning with eight and quickly decreasing the text unaffected) final 36 leaves similarly wormed with one small hole becoming five in the text and a half dozen more forming in the margin near the end (the holes in the text area so small as to scarcely affect any letters the final five leaves with one hole slightly elongated but this hole well away from the text) otherwise in fine condition internally the leaves almost entirely clean as well as remarkably fresh and bright. Despite its defects AN ATTRACTIVE COPY THE LEAVES EXTRAORDINARILY FRESH AND CLEAN. Goff P-615; BMC VI, 726-27. This is the Friedlaender copy in typically excellent condition of the very scarce first printing of a secular incunable from the 1470s. The 100 satires that make up the text here reveal the life and intrigues of Italian courts and scholarly circles in the middle of the 15th century at the height of enthusiasm for Renaissance ideas. Philelphus' satires like those of his model the Roman poet Horace are conversational in tone sometimes coarse and sometimes scholarly with many references to ancient history and literature. Written in dactylic hexameter each poem contains 100 lines (hence Philelphus gives them the learned name of hecatosticha). The author tells us he finished the satires in Milan in 1448 although they did not appear until our first printing some 28 years later. Franciscus Philelphus (Francesco Filelfo 1398-1481) had a checkered career as a wandering scholar and his satires reflect both his troubles and his triumphs. He believed that Cosimo de' Medici had tried to have him assassinated and he was ardent in his denunciations of this merchant prince of Florence. At the same time he was grateful for the patronage of Duke Filippo Maria Visconti of Milan and his powerful condottiere Francesco Sforza and he was not above lavishing flattery upon them and other powerful figures such as Alfonso of Aragon the ruler of Naples. Philelphus studied in Padua and was teaching in Venice before he was 20 years old. That republic sent him on a diplomatic mission to Constantinople where he learned Greek and married the daughter of a Greek scholar. Later he served the emperor Sigismund as a diplomat and by 1429 he had migrated to Florence where at first he was popular as a teacher of literature. His temper however was his undoing and he quarrelled bitterly with his fellow humanist Poggio as well as Cosimo de' Medici. By 1439 he was forced to take his teaching skills to Milan penning an epic Sforziade in honor of Francesco Sforza who rose to the position of duke after the death of Visconti. After Sforza's death in 1466 Philelphus now in his old age recommenced his wandering life teaching in Rome Siena and Pavia before returning to Florence to die in poverty.

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.

(8) pp. Alden & Landis 608/118 (3 copies); Asher 28/1 & Add.; Knuttel 1476; Muller, America 418/1; Sabin 98201 note; Tiele 686; OCLC WorldCat (1 copy); STCN (6 copies); cf. Simoni U-10 (2nd ed.). The last edition of the famous Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf (Dutch Beehive), printed to advertise and introduce a collective issue of thirty-seven anonymous pamphlets (more than the earlier editions) agitating against the proposed truce between Spain and the Netherlands in the middle of the Eighty Years' War, and warning the Dutch not to sacrifice their West Indian trade to the pursuit of peace. The anonymous publisher notes that a friend had urged him to gather together "all that has been published about the ceasefire and peace" because many people wished to collect the pamphlets and have them bound together, but since not even the booksellers know exactly what has been published, no one knows whether their collections are complete. He therefore brought together "all that I could get hold of" and added the present dialogue to be bound before them. In fact he included only pamphlets against the truce: none in favour of the truce! The main text of the present introductory pamphlet takes the form of a conversation between a Hollander (from the Dutch Republic in the Northern Netherlands) and a Flemish refugee (from the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands), the Hollander selling the Fleming the pamphlets, which are named individually. The present pamphlet therefore serves as a sort of catalogue, as well as a general introduction to the subject. The poem at the end, about Spain's untrustworthiness and the dangers of trying to make a peace settlement with them, is signed "Yemant Adams" (Someone Adams, a pseudonym probably meaning merely a descendent of Adam).On 4 May 1607, after forty years of war, Spain and the Dutch Republic began a ceasefire and peace negotiations that were to lead to the twelve-year truce two years later. The sharply divided opinions on the acceptable terms for peace and on the benefits and harm a truce might bring to the Republic set off a flood of pamphlets. The Dutch were considering establishing a West India Company, and Spain's wish to limit Dutch trade in the West Indies was the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations. The present pamphlet appeared in at least three editions (the STCN notes a fourth variant) listing an increasing number of pamphlets (from 30 in the first to 37 in the present third edition, including the introduction). All three are dated 1608 and apparently appeared after Easter (6 April) but before most of the pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608, for the ban specifically mentions two pamphlets listed only in the third edition. One pamphlet issued with the second and third editions discusses a letter written on 6 June 1608 and not generally known until 1 July 1608, so the second edition probably appeared around July and the present third in or shortly before August. Several of the key pamphlets in the collection were written by Willem Usselincx, but it is not known whether he had a hand in the introduction. His most beloved project was to establish the West India Company, and the present introduction mentions both the Spanish intent to snatch away the best part of the Indies trade and how important it is to safeguard the Republic's free trade in the West Indies. The Hollander in the dialogue explicitly notes (as in the first two editions) that some of the pamphlets are "difficult to find" and that one pamphlet exists under two different titles, so it had clearly gone through two editions before the first edition of the introduction. Some pamphlets listed in all three editions of the Bye-Korf , appear to have been printed only once, while some mentioned only in the third edition survive in several printings. Clearly the pamphlets were reprinted at irregular intervals as supplies ran out, and more study is needed to determine the order of the editions and which were issued with which editions of the Bye-Korf . Nearly all are Pot quartos.With some nineteenth-century manuscript notes. In very good condition and only slightly browned. The last edition of the Bye-Korf , with the most complete list of pamphlets.

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.

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.

The last edition of the famous Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf (Dutch Beehive), printed to advertise and introduce a collective issue of thirty-seven anonymous pamphlets (more than the earlier editions) agitating against the proposed truce between Spain and the Netherlands in the middle of the Eighty Years' War, and warning the Dutch not to sacrifice their West Indian trade to the pursuit of peace. The anonymous publisher notes that a friend had urged him to gather together "all that has been published about the ceasefire and peace" because many people wished to collect the pamphlets and have them bound together, but since not even the booksellers know exactly what has been published, no one knows whether their collections are complete. He therefore brought together "all that I could get hold of" and added the present dialogue to be bound before them. In fact he included only pamphlets against the truce: none in favour of the truce! The main text of the present introductory pamphlet takes the form of a conversation between a Hollander (from the Dutch Republic in the Northern Netherlands) and a Flemish refugee (from the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands), the Hollander selling the Fleming the pamphlets, which are named individually. The present pamphlet therefore serves as a sort of catalogue, as well as a general introduction to the subject. The poem at the end, about Spain's untrustworthiness and the dangers of trying to make a peace settlement with them, is signed "Yemant Adams" (Someone Adams, a pseudonym probably meaning merely a descendent of Adam).On 4 May 1607, after forty years of war, Spain and the Dutch Republic began a ceasefire and peace negotiations that were to lead to the twelve-year truce two years later. The sharply divided opinions on the acceptable terms for peace and on the benefits and harm a truce might bring to the Republic set off a flood of pamphlets. The Dutch were considering establishing a West India Company, and Spain's wish to limit Dutch trade in the West Indies was the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations. The present pamphlet appeared in at least three editions (the STCN notes a fourth variant) listing an increasing number of pamphlets (from 30 in the first to 37 in the present third edition, including the introduction). All three are dated 1608 and apparently appeared after Easter (6 April) but before most of the pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608, for the ban specifically mentions two pamphlets listed only in the third edition. One pamphlet issued with the second and third editions discusses a letter written on 6 June 1608 and not generally known until 1 July 1608, so the second edition probably appeared around July and the present third in or shortly before August. Several of the key pamphlets in the collection were written by Willem Usselincx, but it is not known whether he had a hand in the introduction. His most beloved project was to establish the West India Company, and the present introduction mentions both the Spanish intent to snatch away the best part of the Indies trade and how important it is to safeguard the Republic's free trade in the West Indies. The Hollander in the dialogue explicitly notes (as in the first two editions) that some of the pamphlets are "difficult to find" and that one pamphlet exists under two different titles, so it had clearly gone through two editions before the first edition of the introduction. Some pamphlets listed in all three editions of the Bye-Korf, appear to have been printed only once, while some mentioned only in the third edition survive in several printings. Clearly the pamphlets were reprinted at irregular intervals as supplies ran out, and more study is needed to determine the order of the editions and which were issued with which editions

La raccolta di Questiones, qui in seconda edizione che segue la princeps di Colonia dell’anno precedente, comprende il De Veritate, testo fondamentale della patristica cristiana, in cui San Tommaso affronta i problemi ontologici connaturati all’idea di verità e verosimiglianza. HC 1420; BMC iv, 62; Goff T, 180; IGI 9561; Pellechet 1019. Precious Roman incunable, the penultimate printed by the first Italian prototypographer Arnold Pannartz whom after Sweynheym’s death carried on the press activity, producing books of cultural relevance and valuable typographical quality.

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.

PHILELPHUS FRANCISCUS.
SATYRAE.

Milan: Christophorus Valdarfer, 1476 278 x 205 mm. (11 x 8""). [149] leaves missing the final blank. Single column roman type 35 lines of text per page. FIRST PRINTING. Attractive 19th century calf over thick bevelled boards very elaborately blind tooled in the style of 15th century books raised bands six spine panels two of them decorated with florals four with a pair of heraldic griffins. With initial spaces. Two small book labels on front pastedown: H.N.F. (Helmut N. Friedlaender) and a.r.s. Joints rather worn (though with no cracks) minor wear to corners and raised bands front cover with small area of lost patina but the binding solid bright and otherwise well preserved. First 44 leaves with small round wormholes in margin (beginning with eight and quickly decreasing the text unaffected) final 36 leaves similarly wormed with one small hole becoming five in the text and a half dozen more forming in the margin near the end (the holes in the text area so small as to scarcely affect any letters the final five leaves with one hole slightly elongated but this hole well away from the text) otherwise in fine condition internally the leaves almost entirely clean as well as remarkably fresh and bright. Despite its defects AN ATTRACTIVE COPY THE LEAVES EXTRAORDINARILY FRESH AND CLEAN. Goff P-615; BMC VI, 726-27. This is the Friedlaender copy in typically excellent condition of the very scarce first printing of a secular incunable from the 1470s. The 100 satires that make up the text here reveal the life and intrigues of Italian courts and scholarly circles in the middle of the 15th century at the height of enthusiasm for Renaissance ideas. Philelphus' satires like those of his model the Roman poet Horace are conversational in tone sometimes coarse and sometimes scholarly with many references to ancient history and literature. Written in dactylic hexameter each poem contains 100 lines (hence Philelphus gives them the learned name of hecatosticha). The author tells us he finished the satires in Milan in 1448 although they did not appear until our first printing some 28 years later. Franciscus Philelphus (Francesco Filelfo 1398-1481) had a checkered career as a wandering scholar and his satires reflect both his troubles and his triumphs. He believed that Cosimo de' Medici had tried to have him assassinated and he was ardent in his denunciations of this merchant prince of Florence. At the same time he was grateful for the patronage of Duke Filippo Maria Visconti of Milan and his powerful condottiere Francesco Sforza and he was not above lavishing flattery upon them and other powerful figures such as Alfonso of Aragon the ruler of Naples. Philelphus studied in Padua and was teaching in Venice before he was 20 years old. That republic sent him on a diplomatic mission to Constantinople where he learned Greek and married the daughter of a Greek scholar. Later he served the emperor Sigismund as a diplomat and by 1429 he had migrated to Florence where at first he was popular as a teacher of literature. His temper however was his undoing and he quarrelled bitterly with his fellow humanist Poggio as well as Cosimo de' Medici. By 1439 he was forced to take his teaching skills to Milan penning an epic Sforziade in honor of Francesco Sforza who rose to the position of duke after the death of Visconti. After Sforza's death in 1466 Philelphus now in his old age recommenced his wandering life teaching in Rome Siena and Pavia before returning to Florence to die in poverty. $28000

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."

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.

Cambridge: Printed by J. Smith for Joseph Butterworth, 1825. xvi, 280 pp. Octavo (8-1/2" x 5-1/2"). Contemporary calf, gilt rules to boards, lettering piece, gilt ornaments and raised bands to spines, marbled edges and endpapers, blind inside dentelles. Some rubbing to extremities, chip to head of spine carefully repaired, front hinge partially cracked. Early owner annotation and signature (of G.W. Bennett), internally clean. Ex-library. Bookplate to front pastedown, serial number in fine hand to title page. A handsome copy. * De Laudibus Legum Angliae was written for the instruction of Edward, the young Prince of Wales. Cast in dialogue form, it demonstrates that the common law is the oldest and most reasonable legal system in Europe. It also compares the common and Roman systems and extols the superiority of a constitutionally limited monarch to a absolute monarch. De Laudibus was written around 1470 and first printed in 1567. "Fortescue was a favorite among the old lawyers, and will be read with profit in modern times by those who are interested in the origin and progress of the Common Law.": Marvin, Legal Bibliography (1847) 321.

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.

Alessandro Ariosto
Itinerarium (1476-1479)
|
- 644p. Ed. dell'Orso. Sorretto da auctoritates quali Plinio, Diodoro Siculo, Mela, Solino, Lattanzio, Cipriano, e da autori più ‘moderni’ come Mandeville e Niccolò de’ Conti, l’Itinerarium di Alessandro Ariosto prende forma intorno a tre grandi blocchi narrativi: una prima parte incentrata principalmente sul viaggio verso la Terra Santa, su Gerusalemme e sui luoghi santi; una seconda che presenta il Mar Rosso, il Sinai e, più in generale, l’Egitto con i suoi mirabilia (il Nilo e le piramidi in particolare); una terza dove grande risalto hanno l’India e le terre dell’Oriente più remoto. Per accompagnare il lettore sulle vie di questa peregrinatio (non priva, com’è ovvio, di richiami vetero e neotestamentari) e per arrecare una maggiore voluptas alla narrazione, l’Ariosto si affida alla forma dialogica. Il ‘tu’ con il quale egli dialoga è il cugino arciprete Ludovico, erudito ed esperto dei misteri celesti e delle res humanae. Il dialogo tra Alessandro

- (8) pp. Alden & Landis 608/118 (3 copies); Asher 28/1 & Add.; Knuttel 1476; Muller, America 418/1; Sabin 98201 note; Tiele 686; OCLC WorldCat (1 copy); STCN (6 copies); cf. Simoni U-10 (2nd ed.). The last edition of the famous Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf (Dutch Beehive), printed to advertise and introduce a collective issue of thirty-seven anonymous pamphlets (more than the earlier editions) agitating against the proposed truce between Spain and the Netherlands in the middle of the Eighty Years' War, and warning the Dutch not to sacrifice their West Indian trade to the pursuit of peace. The anonymous publisher notes that a friend had urged him to gather together "all that has been published about the ceasefire and peace" because many people wished to collect the pamphlets and have them bound together, but since not even the booksellers know exactly what has been published, no one knows whether their collections are complete. He therefore brought together "all that I could get hold of" and added the present dialogue to be bound before them. In fact he included only pamphlets against the truce: none in favour of the truce! The main text of the present introductory pamphlet takes the form of a conversation between a Hollander (from the Dutch Republic in the Northern Netherlands) and a Flemish refugee (from the Spanish-controlled Southern Netherlands), the Hollander selling the Fleming the pamphlets, which are named individually. The present pamphlet therefore serves as a sort of catalogue, as well as a general introduction to the subject. The poem at the end, about Spain's untrustworthiness and the dangers of trying to make a peace settlement with them, is signed "Yemant Adams" (Someone Adams, a pseudonym probably meaning merely a descendent of Adam).On 4 May 1607, after forty years of war, Spain and the Dutch Republic began a ceasefire and peace negotiations that were to lead to the twelve-year truce two years later. The sharply divided opinions on the acceptable terms for peace and on the benefits and harm a truce might bring to the Republic set off a flood of pamphlets. The Dutch were considering establishing a West India Company, and Spain's wish to limit Dutch trade in the West Indies was the biggest stumbling block in the negotiations. The present pamphlet appeared in at least three editions (the STCN notes a fourth variant) listing an increasing number of pamphlets (from 30 in the first to 37 in the present third edition, including the introduction). All three are dated 1608 and apparently appeared after Easter (6 April) but before most of the pamphlets were banned on 27 August 1608, for the ban specifically mentions two pamphlets listed only in the third edition. One pamphlet issued with the second and third editions discusses a letter written on 6 June 1608 and not generally known until 1 July 1608, so the second edition probably appeared around July and the present third in or shortly before August. Several of the key pamphlets in the collection were written by Willem Usselincx, but it is not known whether he had a hand in the introduction. His most beloved project was to establish the West India Company, and the present introduction mentions both the Spanish intent to snatch away the best part of the Indies trade and how important it is to safeguard the Republic's free trade in the West Indies. The Hollander in the dialogue explicitly notes (as in the first two editions) that some of the pamphlets are "difficult to find" and that one pamphlet exists under two different titles, so it had clearly gone through two editions before the first edition of the introduction. Some pamphlets listed in all three editions of the Bye-Korf, appear to have been printed only once, while some mentioned only in the third edition survive in several printings. Clearly the pamphlets were reprinted at irregular intervals as supplies ran out, and more study is needed to determine the order of the editions and which were issued with which editions

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.; 1. LiteratureThe " 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.

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.
