LYRE (Nicolas de).
Postilla super psalterium Incipit feliciter.
|
s.l.n.d. (Mantoue, Paul von Butzbach, c. 1477). in-folio. (1f.blanc). 248ff. non chiffrés. Plein veau brun, décor frappé à froid sur les plats avec fleurons dorés dans les angles (reliure pastiche dans le style de l'époque). Précieuse édition incunable, seulement précédée par la première édition séparée de Bâle (1474), de ces commentaires sur le livre des Psaumes par le théologien et orientaliste normand Nicolas de Lyre (1270-1349). Ils sont extraits des Postilles de l'auteur sur le Vieux et le Nouveau Testament (Rome, 1471-1472, 5 volumes), ouvrage très important qui constitue le premier commentaire imprimé de la Bible et qui eut une influence considérable sur la pensée de Luther. Imprimée à Mantoue où la typographie avait fait son apparition quelques années plus tôt, en 1472, cette édition contient les additions critiques de Pablo de Santa María, évêque de Burgos (1350-1435), avec les réponses du théologien allemand Matthias Döring (1390-1465). D'origine juive, Nicolas de Lyre joua par ailleurs un rôle important dans la conversion des juifs et le présent volume est particulièrement intéressant de ce point de vue puisque Pablo de Santa María était lui-même un juif converti et que la ville de Mantoue fut l'une des premières à produire des écrits imprimés en hébreu. Quelques piqûres de vers sans gravité. Bel exemplaire sur papier fort entièrement rubriqué en rouge et bleu. Goff, N124. Reichling, 10376.

[Appianus]
[APPIANI ALEXANDRINI ROMANARUM HISTORIARUM] [APPIAN OF ALEXANDRIA]. Historia romana. [And:] De bellis civilibus. [Translated from Greek into Latin by Petrus Candidas Decembrius]
|
Venice: Bernard Maler (Pictor), Erhard Ratdolt and Peter L!slein, 1477. 2 volumes. First complete edition of the surviving portions of AppianOs History of Rome (As a matter of note, Part II only, De bellis civilibus, was printed by Vindelinus de Spira in 1472) Roman letter. Thirty-two lines, printed marginalia. Four-sided woodcut white vine border on the recto of a2 of Part I printed in red, three-sided woodcut white vine border on the recto of a2 of Part II printed in black, both possibly by Bernhard Maler. Nine- and five-line white-on-black woodcut initials. Headlines consisting of book numbers or titles supplied erratically. Large quarto volumes (10 15/16 x 8 inches; 278 x 204 mm.) , early twentieth-century English niger morocco. Covers panelled in gilt, gilt-lettered spines with raised bands, turn-ins ruled in gilt, all edges gilt. [132] and [212] leaves. Complete with both initial blanks. A superb copy of this typographical masterpiece. Volume I with two wormholes to lower blank margin of last few leaves and light dampstaining to last two leaves (o9-o10). Volume II with short repaired tear to lower corner of initial blank leaf and small stain to leaves h8-h10. Occasional minor dampstaining to extreme lower margins, scattered light marginal foxing, mainly in Volume II. Ink presentation inscription from Joachim Erckstede to Dr. Valentin de Teteleben (dated November 1522) on verso of final leaf in Volume I and on recto of initial blank leaf in Volume II. A few contemporary ink marginalia in Book II of De bellis civilibus. Bookplate of William Harrison Woodward.. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION. A SUPERB COPY OF THIS TYPOGRAPHICAL MASTERPIECE. The third book from RatdoltOs press at Venice. The translatorOs division of the extant books into two parts differs slightly in its order from the Greek originals. He dedicated the first part to Pope Nicholas V and the second part to Alfonso, King of Aragon and the Two Sicilies. Book III (Parthicus) in Part I of this and the following editions is a Byzantine compilation. The lower part of c1 verso (eleven lines) and all of c2 recto in Part I were left blank by the printers to indicate a gap in Appian1s manuscript, with a printed marginal note to that effect. These volumes represent the earliest example of the use of a fully-developed woodcut border in a Venetian book. RatdoltOs first border, a three-sided, simple black-on-white title designed for the Calendarium of 1476, is composed of fairly conventional plants growing out of vases. The borders for the Historia romana and De bellis civilibus, by contrast, are scrolling white vines and acanthus leaves, full and lush, black-on-white (in some copies, red-on-white), with a medallion for the owner1s arms in the lower edge. RatdoltOs initial letters, which replaced the illuminated or rubricated initials, are also of the utmost importance in the history of book-decoration (see Hind, A History of Woodcut, II, pp. 459-462). THIS COPY IS ONE OF A FEW IN WHICH THE FIRST WOODCUT BORDER IS PRINTED IN RED. In most copies both borders were printed in black. The partnership of the printers Erhard Ratdolt and Bernhard Maler and the corrector and editor Peter L!slein lasted from 1476 to 1478. The exceptional beauty of the books printed at their press is characterized by the use of a series of very fine woodcut borders and initials along with a strikingly clear and pleasing roman type. Although traditionally credited to Ratdolt, the design of the woodblocks and possibly of the type is more likely to have been the work of Bernhard Maler, the painter, who was in charge of the press. When Ratdolt set up his own press in 1480, he apparently brought only one of the border blocks with him, the one that appears in Part II of the present work, which he used again for the 1482 Euclid. The border used in Part I appears in this edition only. "To my mind there are few printed books of any age which can be compared with the Appian of 1477, with its splendid black ink, its vellum-like paper, and the finished excellency of its typography" (Redgrave).

Appianus, of Alexandria
Historia Romana
|
Venice: Bernhard Maler (Pictor), Erhard Ratdolt, and Peter L!slein, 1477. Quarto, 10.2 x 7.8 inches. Editio princeps. a-i10, k-n8, o10. 132 of 132 leaves, including the first blank, a1. Volume one only of two. This is a clean copy, with very large margins throughout. The first and last printed leaves have marginal paper restorations. This copy is bound in a beautifully executed unsigned early twentieth or late nineteenth-century binding. The crushed tan morocco is elaborately tooled in blind and gilt with interlocking knotwork patterns reminiscent of Islamic decoration. . In 1477 we have the magnificent edition of Appian's Roman History in two volumes quarto, [...] printed with the beautiful types used for the 'Kalendarium.' They are plentifully enriched with initial letters, sometimes printed in red ink, and they have all of them the gracefully designed title-borders for which the books of Ratdolt are so deservedly famous. [...] To my mind there are few printed books of any age which can be compared with the Appian of 1477, with its splendid black ink, its vellum-like paper, and the finished excellence of its typography. I remember the surprise expressed by an eminent bookseller at the price obtained in a London sale-room within the last seven years for a copy of the work in fine condition (I think the price was nine guineas), and his remark at the time, that this was three or four times the trade value of the book in question. It only served to show how entirely book prices are a matter of fashion, and how much booklovers fall into certain distinct grooves in the valuation of the best productions of the past." (Quoted from Erhard Ratdolt and His Work at Venice, by Gilbert Redgrave.)

Wird es geöffnet, nimmt es die Gestalt eines Schmetterlings an, gebildet aus den Herzen zweier sich Liebenden, die in ihren Liedern Liebesbekundungen austauschen. Wie leicht vorstellbar, ist die herzförmige Kontur der Handschrift bereits eine Rarität. Einzigartig jedoch sind die bei ihrer Öffnung sichtbare Darstellung zweier verbundener Herzen und das reichhaltige Dekor. Die Lieder in französischer und italienischer Sprache, geschrieben für verschiedene Stimmen, sind das Werk einiger der besten mittelalterlichen Tondichter und Musiker. Guillaume Dufay und Johannes Ockeghem, die führenden Komponisten in der ersten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts, zählen dazu.

[Venice]: D. de Siliprandis, [ca. 1477]. First edition and one of only two books known from this press. The only other book issued by this press is an edition of Petrarch's Canzoniere completed not earlier than 8 May 1477. The translator, Gianpietro d'Avenza (d. 1457), was professor of literature at Lucca. In a notice to the reader, the editor Calphurnius (d. 1503), explains that certain blank portions in the text are due to the incompleteness of the Greek manuscript. This is a Latin translation of Plutarch's Quaestiones Romanae, in which Plutarch attempts to explain 113 Roman customs, the majority of which deal with social and religious matters. The original Greek text was published much later. Fine copy with some contemporary annotations in the margins. First five leaves with a small marginal wormhole neatly filled-in. Goff B-828.

CATALOGUE DES MANUSCRITS de la Bibliothèque Royale des Ducs de Bourgogne, Publié par Ordre du Ministre de l’Intérieur. Inventaire N° 1- 18000 Résumé Historique; Répertoire Méthodique (Première et Deuxième Partie).
|
Bruxelles et Leipzig C. Muquardt 1842. 3 vols. Folio. 15 plates, folding table. Ex.-lib. with sm. ink stamps to prelims., some light browning, contemporary pigskin backed dec. boards, recased with much of original spines laid down, extremities rubbed, accession nos. to tail of spines, some wear to boards. The Library of the Dukes of Burgundy has justifiably been considered, since the Middle Ages, to be one of the most splendid collections of Western civilisation. Begun by Philippe le Hardi and continued by his successors, Jean sans Peur and Philippe le Bon, the Library had by the time of the death of Charles le Téméraire in 1477 reached 950 volumes. From an artistic and literary perspective many of the works had even in their own day gained an international reputation. We need only mention the Peterborough Psalter, the Chroniques et conquestes de Charlemagne, Jean Mansel’s Fleur des Histoires, the three-volume Chroniques de Hainaut, the Très Belles Heures du Duc de Berry or even Aristotle’s Ethics. The dukes were committed and enthusiastic book-collectors who were interested in all fields of learning. Literature, history, science, moral philosophy and the classics all attracted their attention. In order to expand and embellish their collection the dukes called upon the greatest artists of the period. Their constant demand for books drew together large numbers of translators, copyists, scribes and illuminators. Notwithstanding the wars and conflicts of these centuries, the book production under the patronage of successive dukes was spectacularly glamorous. But, like all medieval collections, it has suffered at the hands of history and the Burgundian Library has been dispersed, pillaged and in part lost. Nonetheless, despite what are probably irreperable losses, almost 270 volumes are still held in the Manuscripts Department of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek / Bibliothèque Royale in Brussels. ‘In the quality and number of manuscripts preserved, the Librairie des Ducs de Bourgogne (Library of the Dukes of Burgundy) is an exceptional heritage and indisputably one of the most remarkable expressions of the ducal house’s interest in arts and letters. At his death, in 1477, Charles the Bold, the last Duke of Burgundy, left a library of some 1,000 manuscripts, a substantial figure for a private library at the end of the Middle Ages. The number of manuscripts preserved is equalled only by their quality: in order to increase and enrich their collections, the Dukes were constantly enlisting the services of the best illuminators, copyists, translators and binders of the time (see 3. 1). Book-collecting became nothing short of a family tradition and was undoubtedly an important factor in giving the Burgundy dynasty a specific cultural identity. Officially established in Brussels since the sixteenth century, the Librairie des Ducs de Bourgogne forms the historical core of the Bibliothèque royale de Belgique (Royal Library of Belgium), which today preserves the vast majority of the remaining manuscripts – approximately 300. Other traces of this collection are nowadays found mainly in Europe (Bibliothèque nationale de France, the British Library and the Austrian Nationalbibliothek) and the United States. The detailed inventories carried out at the death of each Duke constitute an invaluable source that has enabled a great many unique and original manuscripts to be traced and identified with certainty.’ UNESCO US$978

Monter, William
A Bewitched Duchy : Lorraine and its dukes, 1477-1736
|
DROZ - 9782600011655 Livre usage a l'etat de neuf / Used book as new condition ############################################################################################################################################################################################################################################################### Drawing on basic archival sources in Paris and Vienna as well as those in Lorraine itself, William Monter (Professor Emeritus at Northwestern University and a well-known historian of early modern western Europe) offers the first English-language history of this important European buffer state. From the defeat of Charles the Bold in 1477 to the marriage of its last duke with the Habsburg heiress Maria Theresa 260 years later, the united duchies of Lorraine and Bar straddled both the linguistic and political boundaries between France and the Holy Roman Empire, maintaining a precarious neutrality between them until the Thirty Years War.

[Trans. By Joannes Petrus Lucensis & edited by Joannes Calphurnius]. 66 leaves, 23 lines, Roman & Greek letter, one 5-line initial space. 4to (197 x 144 mm.), late 18th cent. green half-sheep & marbled boards, flat spine gilt. [Venice]: D. de Siliprandis, [ca. 1477].pFirst edition and one of only two books known from this press. The only other book issued by this press is an edition of Petrarch's Canzoniere completed not earlier than 8 May 1477. The translator, Gianpietro d'Avenza (d. 1457), was professor of literature at Lucca. In a notice to the reader, the editor Calphurnius (d. 1503), explains that certain blank portions in the text are due to the incompleteness of the Greek manuscript. This is a Latin translation of Plutarch's Quaestiones Romanae, in which Plutarch attempts to explain 113 Roman customs, the majority of which deal with social and religious matters. The original Greek text was published much later. Fine copy with some contemporary annotations in the margins. First five leaves with a small marginal wormhole neatly filled-in. Goff B-828. Klebs 788.1.. First Edition. Hard cover.

Lacking initial blank and two leaves of text (a10 and c10), title mounted with a bit of loss to side of woodcut border and to sidenote on verso. Some leaves lightly stained, a bit of dustsoiling. Frequent early marginal notes (a few trimmed) and underlining in brown and red ink, headlines and folio numbers supplied. Early 20th-century half dark maroon pebbled morocco over matching pebbled cloth red boards, spine in six compartments with raised bands, gilt lettering to second compartment, marbled endpapers, a little scuffed at extremities. The first printing of the first part of Appian's Roman History, in Candidus's Latin translation, elegantly produced by Bernard Maler and Erhard Ratdolt, and an important volume in several respects. Appian (c.95-c.165 AD) wrote a ?Roman History' in 24 books, only about half of which survive complete. The surviving original text, in Greek, would not be published until the Estienne edition of 1551, but in the mid-15th-century the humanist scholar Pietro Candido Decembrio translated the entire work into Latin. When this translation was first printed in 1472, however, only one section of five books was included, covering the civil wars. Five years later, the year of Candido's death, Maler and Ratdolt printed this volume, containing the previously unpublished parts, and a second volume reprinting the other portion. This is thus the first printing of any kind of the first part of Appian's history. Maler and Ratdolt were not only among the earliest printers in Venice, but also among the most important printers in history. Both German emigré printers, like most of their contemporaries in Italy, they partnered for two years, from 1476 to 1478, and in that time produced the first fully-developed woodcut border in Venetian printing, which appears only in this book.

In addition to the border, also appearing in this book are some of the first woodcut decorated initials, another innovation attributed to Maler/Ratdolt, which took the place of spaces left for hand-rubrication. Dibdin, in comparison with the 1472 edition, called this one "likewise beautiful and rare. Perhaps the annals of the press during the fifteenth century do not notice more beautiful specimens of the art of printing". He adds, in the 'Bibliographical Decameron', "know then, quiet reader, in simple and sober language, that the edition first mentioned [i.e. the 1477 Appian] contains one of the most beautiful specimens extant of Roman [...] printing." Agrees Redgrave: "there are few printed books of any age which can be compared with the Appian of 1477, with its splendid black ink, its vellum-like paper, and the finished excellency of its typography."

MELA Pomponius
Cosmographia, sive de situ orbis.

(f. 60 v.:) "Pomponii Mellae Cosmographiae liber / explicit". S.n.t. (Stamperia eponima, 1477), in-4, ff. 62 n.n. (ben completo del primo e degli ultimi 2 ff. bianchi), leg. 500esca pergamena floscia. Impresso in elegante carattere tondo, una parola in greco (106 Gr.). Rarissima seconda edizione del trattato di Pomponio Mela (metà del I secolo d.C.), classico testo cosmografico latino che costituisce la più antica descrizione geografica della Terra, nonché la prima data alle stampe. La rarità della prima edizione (Milano, 1471) è comparabile a questa: 11 esempl. in Italia per entrambe e 4 soli (contro 5 del 1471) in USA. L'anonimo tipografo, che da questa edizione trae il suo nome, pubblicò nello stesso anno due varianti: una datata "Venetiis, xv novembris M.cccc.lxxvii" ed una priva di note tipografiche, come la presente; solo altre tre edizioni sono note di questo raffinato stampatore. L'opera di P.Mela può considerarsi la più antica trattazione geografica a noi giunta, seppur risenta di un palese lavoro di raccolta e selezione di notizie riferite da altri autori. Esemplare assai bello, a grandissimi margini (mm 222x145, contro i 184 e 195 di altezza delle due copie in BM) e molto fresco; lieve alone e nota di possesso al primo bianco ed al primo di testo; un forellino di tarlo. Eleganti chiose coeve nei margini, che segnalano i paesi trattati, e, nel margine inf. del f. (3) disegno coevo a penna che riproduce il mappamondo allora conosciuto; seppur ispirato alla silografia dell'Isidoro di Siviglia del 1472, è curiosamente orientato con il nord in basso e l'Antartide in alto; nessuna raffigurazione con tale orientamento è riportata a Shirley, Mapping of the World, né da alcuna altra bibliografia in tema. Klebs 675-2. BMC V, 261. IGI 6341. Goff M-448.

Unterkircher Franz Das Stundenbuch der Maria von Burgund = Glanzlichter der Buchkunst Band 3
Das Stundenbuch der Maria von Burgund = Glanzlichter der Buchkunst Band 3
|
WBG, Wiesbaden - 71 S. Kommentarteil 20,5 x 17cm schwarzer Ganzleineneinband mit farbig illustriertem Originalschutzumschlag und farbig illustriertem Originalschuber Dieses um 1477 für die Erbtochter des Reiches und spätere Gemahlin Kaiser Maximilians I. hergestellte Stundenbuch weist alle Elemente auf, die ein Buch wertvoll machen. In den groß- und kleinformatigen Miniaturen, den historisierenden Initialen, den vegetabil überwucherten, mit unterschiedlichsten Tieren und Fabelwesen belebten Zierrahmen und -leisten, vor allem aber in den großteils symbolisch zu deutenden Drôlerien entfalten die Maler eine unerschöpfliche Phantasie. Das Stundenbuch der Maria von Burgund, der Tochter Karls des Kühnen, kennzeichnet den letzten Höhepunkt der Buchmalerei – zu einer Zeit, in der es bereits gedruckte Bücher gab; doch gerade in dieser Epoche entstanden wertvolle Codices, und zwar besonders in den Niederlanden und in Frankreich. Dieses Stundenbuch, das durch die Pracht seiner Miniaturen und Randleisten ein Abbild des burgundischen Hofes ist, erhielt Maria von ihrer Stiefmutter Margarete von York als Geschenk. Kunsthistorikern und Liebhabern von Buchkunst ist dieser Codex wohlbekannt. Denn die hochstehende Qualität des Buchschmuckes macht ihn zu einer jener Handschriften, die auf jeder Seite Anlaß zu Bewunderung und Überraschung geben. Unter seinen Miniaturen flämischen Ursprungs finden sich auch einige der glänzendsten Kompositionen der führenden zeitgenössischen Künstler am burgundischen Hof. Alle 378 Seiten (189 Folios) des Gebetbuches zeichnen sich durch die künstlerische Gestaltung aus. Auf den ersten 34 Blättern, die einen Kalender beinhalten, ist ein ganz besonderer Kunstgriff bemerkenswert: Der Text ist mit Gold- und Silbertinte auf schwarzen Grund geschrieben. Die insgesamt 20 Vollbilder der Handschrift vermitteln uns in anschaulicher Weise das Leben und Denken der burgundischen Kultur. Jede Textseite des Buches ist mit Zierleisten, Drôlerien, phantasievollen Dekorationen und reichen kalligraphischen Verzierungen versehen. Nur Künstler ersten Ranges sind zur Ausführung dieses Gesamtkunstwerkes herangezogen worden. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

- 716, (2) pp. Adams S-65; BMC STC French, p. 389; OCLC WorldCat (6 copies).A collection of letters in sixteen chapters by the bishop of Carpentras, the Italian Humanist and Maecenas Jacopo Sadoleto (1477-1547), to various abbots, bishops, archbishops and cardinals, as well as prominent lay people. Amongst these are famous names such as Alexander Farnese and Francesco Guicciardini. The letters are followed by a letter to Sadoleto's nephew Paul Sadoleto and a short biography. Much of Sadoleto's correspondence discusses possibilities to mediate between the Catholic Church and early Protestants through Counter-Reformation measures. He was condemned by prominent members of the clergy for his eagerness to reach a theological compromise, but the Pope appreciated Sadoleto's efforts and appointed him a member of an early Counter-Reformation commission. With an index listing the recipients of the letters. With several early owners' inscriptions -- including "Petri Stellæ et amicor," that is Pierre de l'Estoile (1546-1611), who shared the author's tolerant Catholicism, and his friends -- and several library stamps. A good copy. Binding rubbed and spine tattered, with a clumsy repair. An interesting collection of letters by an early agent of the Counter-Reformation.

The fifth and largest work, Notitia, is an almanac with a survey of the offices, officials and other aspects of the governmental organization in the eastern and western part of the Roman Empire till the time of the emperors Arcadius (Constantinople; 383-408) and Honorius (Rome; 393-423). It was composed c. 408. The editor Gelenius found this work in old and rare manuscripts. They may all be derived from one manuscript in Speyer, which has since been lost (Graesse). The woodcut illustrations show insignias, official badges, coins, and allegorical depictions of cities and countries. The present volume also contains Beatus Rhenanus's Illyrici provinciarum utrique imperio cum romano tum constantinopolitano seruientis, descriptio (with two nice woodcut views of Rome and Constantinople), and Andrea Alciatus's Iuris consulti, de magistratibus, civilibusque et militaribus officijs. Alciatus is followed by a double-page map of Rome by Johannes Oporinus, dated 1551. De Rebus Bellicis is accompanied by attractive illustrations of chariots, engines of war, and other weapons. The final tract, a dialogue between the Emperor Hadrian and the philosopher Epictetus is opened by a full-page woodcut of both men engaged in a discussion.The present copy is the first edition. It was reprinted several times and each of these editions contains additions and omissions. Some occasional soiling; a good copy.

Platea, Franciscus
Opus restitutionum
|
PLATEA [PIAZZA], Franciscus de. Opus restitutionum usuarum et excomunicationum edita per venerabilem Dominvm Fratrem Franciscvm de Platea Ordinis Minorvm. [colophon: ] Venice, Johannes de Colonia and Johannes Mathen, 22 January 1477. A fine unsophisticated copy of an incunable edition of the first printed book to deal with economics. Platea's Opus restitutionum, first printed in 1472 is the first, and earliest, book in the Goldsmith and Kress catalogues respectively. Platea, (also known as Fra Francesco Piazza) (?-1460), a Professor of law at the University of Bologna and a well-known and acclaimed preacher, includes a detailed discussion of monetary questions, the taking of interest and usury in this treatise on canon law. The first part of the Opus Restitutionum deals with the return of illicit gains. Also discussed are commercial transactions under a variety of different legal circumstances, such as two creditors competing for the spoils of one debtor. The second part concentrates on usury, which, as in all canon law, denotes not just high interest but all interest. Platea is firmly aligned within the church authorities in his condemnation of usury. The final section, De Excommunicationes deals with the judicial exclusion of offenders from the rights and privileges of the Christian community.The printers de Colonia and Mathen had already published an earlier edition of Platea's popular work in 1474. Chancery 4to, (200 x 151 mm), ll. [152] including initial and final blank; in double columns, printed in Gothic letter, with initial spaces, some with guide letters; a few leaves with insignificant marginal dampstaining, some dust-soiling; contemporary full vellum, out of a fifteenth century rubricated legal manuscript leaf, some wear to spine with splits, and worm hole to upper cover; early manuscript ownership inscription of ?Davitis, and a few contemporary marginal annotations; a fresh unsophisticated copy in a contemporary binding.

L’opera, la prima a racchiudere in un contesto organico e sistematico l’intero materiale dogmatico, ricchissima di citazioni tratte non solo dai Padri della Chiesa ma anche dai teologi contemporanei,– Pietro fu uno dei primi ad utilizzare ampiamente il Decretum di Graziano e il De fide ortodoxa di Giovanni Damasceno nella nuovissima traduzione di Burgundio da Pisa oltre alle opere di Abelardo e Ugo da San Vittore – si articola in quattro libri: nel primo si tratta dell’unità e trinità di Dio, il secondo contiene la dottrina degli angeli e della loro caduta, la creazione dell’uomo e del peccato originale oltre ad un ampia parte relativa al peccato in genere, il terzo tratta del ritorno dell’uomo a Dio per mezzo di Gesù fattosi uomo e il quarto si occupa dei sacramenti. Le Sentenze di Pietro Lombardo verranno commentate tra gli altri da San Tommaso, San Alberto Magno e John Dun Scotus; il commento di Bonaventura, composto fra il 1250 e il 1254, è concordemente ritenuto il più completo. Rinaldo di Novimagio, originario di Nijmegen in Olanda iniziò la propria attività a Venezia nel 1477 in collaborazione con il compatriota Teodoro de Reynsburch; insieme stamparono solo sei libri utilizzando due differenti tipi di caratteri gotici. Dal 1478 Rinaldo di Novimagio, sciolta la società, continuò a stampare da solo fino ad ottobre del 1495; in questo lungo periodo in cui l’attività fu più volte interrotta, provò a dedicarsi anche alla pubblicazione di autori classici utilizzando caratteri romani, esperimento questo di scarso successo se, nel breve volgere di due anni, Novimagio tornò ad utilizzare esclusivamente caratteri gotici e a stampare autori "moderni".

Dante [Alighieri]
DIVINA COMMEDIA]; [THE DIVINE COMEDY with the supposed commentary of Benvenuto da Imola]. (Incipit:) Qui comincia la vita e costumi dello excellente poeta vulgari Dante Alighieri di Firenze honore e gloria delidioma fiorentino.
|
Venice Vindelinus de Spira 1477 - First edition with commentary of the Divine Comedy and the fifth overall and probably the earliest obtainable printing. Folio, antique, but later calf over boards, probably of the early 19th or very late period of the 18th century. The spine panel ruled and decorated in blind, lettered in blind. A pleasing copy, generously margined, this copy textually complete containing the complete COMMEDIA as printed as well as the additional Dante material, but without the preliminary introductory materials concerning the author, as is sometimes the case. Antique calligraphy to the lower foredge as would be typical in the Renaissance. VERY RARE AND OF THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE. First edition of the Divine Comedy with commentary and the fifth absolute. The present edition, printed by Vindelinus who also printed the Petrarca, shows his clear intention of publishing the great Italian authors and considering them at the same level as the traditional Latin ones. In fact, the text of the Divine Comedy is proposed together with BenvenutoÕs commentary, though in reality the author was Iacopo della Lana. At the end of the poem we also find the Credo, some poems of Busone da Gubbio, a sonnet, wrongly ascribed to Boccaccio by the tradition, and another sonnet having the function of colophon, ascribed to the editor Cristoforo Berardi da Pesaro. So this can be considered the first edition of DanteÕs great poem published with historical and didactic purpose. The gothic type used by Vindelinus bears witness to the reference of the printer to the manuscript tradition and to the printed tradition of religious works. It is interesting to note that, even as the adjective ÔdivineÕ would be utilized to define the poem in the edition of 1555 by Giolito, in the ordinary final sonnet the word appears referring to the poet himself ("inclito e divo Dante").

Mathias Moravus, Naples. . 1477 - Folio (266 x 209 mm), a8 b10; a-z10 aa-dd10, 298 leaves, a1, b10, dd10 blank, (this copy wanting the three blank leaves), 43 lines to the page, spaces for initials with printed guide-letters, a wide-margin copy, a few wormholes at beginning and end, 4 leaves repaired in margins just reaching text, nineteenth century blue polished calf, embossed in blind within gilt roll-tooled border, spine elaborately gilt in six compartments, a nice copy. Floral border on the inner margin on (2)a1 recto at the beginning of the text of Book I, with flowers in blue and dark pink, green leaves, extended with gold balls. Eight-line Initial I in gold on a squared background of pink and blue with small white penwork decoration. The beginning of each of the 21 following books is marked with a 6-line initial in gold with infills in pink, blue or green, all with white penwork decoration. The gold initial marking the beginning of Book XXI (aa 5 verso) is not filled in with colour. The painted initials are protected with tissue paper, probably inserted at the time of the present binding. Within the books each chapter is marked with a 3-line plain initial, alternating in red and blue. Comparison with other work by Mathias Moravus yields strong arguments for assuming that the illumination and decoration were carried out in his printing house. (see below). Some early notes, partly erased or washed. There are no marks of early ownership. After the colophon the figures '7,1 - 6 -' are written in a hand of the nineteenth, possibly late eighteenth century. This is probably the notation of a price in pounds, shillings and pence, indicating the presence of this volume in the British Isles at this time. The elegant binding does not contradict this. On the verso of the first fly-leaf the bookplate of Charles and Mary Lacaita and their children, Selham, Sussex. Charles Carmichael Lacaita, Liberal MP for Dundee and botanist (1853-1933) was the only son of Sir James Philip Lacaita (1813-95), a Neapolitan lawyer and statesman, for a long time living in exile in England (ODNB). The elder Lacaita was a scholar and had a reputation as an excellent bibliographer. Presumably he was the buyer of this book associated with his home-town, and it was later owned by his son and his family. On several points the present book, its printer, its type, as well as its illumination are remarkable witnesses to the movement of craftsmen, their materials, and their stylistic traditions over Europe in the first decades after the invention of printing. Such movement existed already in the world of scribal traditions, but was exponentially accelerated once books were multiplied in print. Book production became a veritable melting pot of influences: printers and artists adapted to new environments while at the same time maintaining skills and styles brought from elsewhere. This can well be shown in the present volume. The text, St Augustine's De Civitate Dei, was, and still is, one of the most widely read patristic texts; the plain text was ten years earlier printed at the Benedictine abbey of Subiaco among the first books printed in Italy, and this version was steadily reprinted in Rome and Venice. The present edition is the eighth in this sequence, and both the Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke and BMC note that it is a page-for page reprint of the edition printed in Venice in 1475 by Gabriele di Pietro. Meanwhile a version with the commentary of Thomas Waleys was printed from 1468 in Strasbourg, Mainz and Basel. The Naples edition does not follow the layout of its exemplar, which was printed over two columns, but by printing it with long lines the book was given a more humanistic character. The type, however, resembled that used for its model, and also a type Mathias Moravus had used himself for the two books he printed in 1474 in Genoa before moving to Naples. It is a 'fere-humanistica' appropriate for this kind of texts and for classics, and economical in use. After Moravus used it in Napl [Attributes: Hard Cover]

[APPIANI ALEXANDRINI ROMANARUM HISTORIARUM] [APPIAN OF ALEXANDRIA]. Historia romana. [And:] De bellis civilibus. [Translated from Greek into Latin by Petrus Candidas Decembrius]
|
Venice Bernard Maler (Pictor), Erhard Ratdolt and Peter Lšslein 1477 2 volumes. First complete edition of the surviving portions of AppianÕs History of Rome (As a matter of note, Part II only, De bellis civilibus, was printed by Vindelinus de Spira in 1472) Roman letter. Thirty-two lines, printed marginalia. Four-sided woodcut white vine border on the recto of a2 of Part I printed in red, three-sided woodcut white vine border on the recto of a2 of Part II printed in black, both possibly by Bernhard Maler. Nine- and five-line white-on-black woodcut initials. Headlines consisting of book numbers or titles supplied erratically. Large quarto volumes (10 15/16 x 8 inches; 278 x 204 mm.) , early twentieth-century English niger morocco. Covers panelled in gilt, gilt-lettered spines with raised bands, turn-ins ruled in gilt, all edges gilt. [132] and [212] leaves. Complete with both initial blanks. A superb copy of this typographical masterpiece. Volume I with two wormholes to lower blank margin of last few leaves and light dampstaining to last two leaves (o9-o10). Volume II with short repaired tear to lower corner of initial blank leaf and small stain to leaves h8-h10. Occasional minor dampstaining to extreme lower margins, scattered light marginal foxing, mainly in Volume II. Ink presentation inscription from Joachim Erckstede to Dr. Valentin de Teteleben (dated November 1522) on verso of final leaf in Volume I and on recto of initial blank leaf in Volume II. A few contemporary ink marginalia in Book II of De bellis civilibus. Bookplate of William Harrison Woodward. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION. A SUPERB COPY OF THIS TYPOGRAPHICAL MASTERPIECE. The third book from RatdoltÕs press at Venice. The translatorÕs division of the extant books into two parts differs slightly in its order from the Greek originals. He dedicated the first part to Pope Nicholas V and the second part to Alfonso, King of Aragon and the Two Sicilies. Book III (Parthicus) in Part I of this and the following editions is a Byzantine compilation. The lower part of c1 verso (eleven lines) and all of c2 recto in Part I were left blank by the printers to indicate a gap in Appian1s manuscript, with a printed marginal note to that effect.
These volumes represent the earliest example of the use of a fully-developed woodcut border in a Venetian book. RatdoltÕs first border, a three-sided, simple black-on-white title designed for the Calendarium of 1476, is composed of fairly conventional plants growing out of vases. The borders for the Historia romana and De bellis civilibus, by contrast, are scrolling white vines and acanthus leaves, full and lush, black-on-white (in some copies, red-on-white), with a medallion for the owner1s arms in the lower edge. RatdoltÕs initial letters, which replaced the illuminated or rubricated initials, are also of the utmost importance in the history of book-decoration (see Hind, A History of Woodcut, II, pp. 459-462).
THIS COPY IS ONE OF A FEW IN WHICH THE FIRST WOODCUT BORDER IS PRINTED IN RED. In most copies both borders were printed in black. The partnership of the printers Erhard Ratdolt and Bernhard Maler and the corrector and editor Peter Lšslein lasted from 1476 to 1478. The exceptional beauty of the books printed at their press is characterized by the use of a series of very fine woodcut borders and initials along with a strikingly clear and pleasing roman type. Although traditionally credited to Ratdolt, the design of the woodblocks and possibly of the type is more likely to have been the work of Bernhard Maler, the painter, who was in charge of the press. When Ratdolt set up his own press in 1480, he apparently brought only one of the border blocks with him, the one that appears in Part II of the present work, which he used again for the 1482 Euclid. The border used in Part I appears in this edition only.
To my mind there are few printed books of any age which can be compared with the Appian of 1477, with its splendid black ink, its vellum-like paper, and the finished excellency of its typography (Redgrave).

[Venice]: D. de Siliprandis, [ca. 1477]. First edition and one of only two books known from this press. The only other book issued by this press is an edition of Petrarch's Canzoniere completed not earlier than 8 May 1477. The translator, Gianpietro d'Avenza (d. 1457), was professor of literature at Lucca. In a notice to the reader, the editor Calphurnius (d. 1503), explains that certain blank portions in the text are due to the incompleteness of the Greek manuscript. This is a Latin translation of Plutarch's Quaestiones Romanae, in which Plutarch attempts to explain 113 Roman customs, the majority of which deal with social and religious matters. The original Greek text was published much later. Fine copy with some contemporary annotations in the margins. First five leaves with a small marginal wormhole neatly filled-in. Goff B-828.

- 716, (2) pp. Adams S-65; BMC STC French, p. 389; OCLC WorldCat (6 copies).A collection of letters in sixteen chapters by the bishop of Carpentras, the Italian Humanist and Maecenas Jacopo Sadoleto (1477-1547), to various abbots, bishops, archbishops and cardinals, as well as prominent lay people. Amongst these are famous names such as Alexander Farnese and Francesco Guicciardini. The letters are followed by a letter to Sadoleto's nephew Paul Sadoleto and a short biography. Much of Sadoleto's correspondence discusses possibilities to mediate between the Catholic Church and early Protestants through Counter-Reformation measures. He was condemned by prominent members of the clergy for his eagerness to reach a theological compromise, but the Pope appreciated Sadoleto's efforts and appointed him a member of an early Counter-Reformation commission. With an index listing the recipients of the letters. With several early owners' inscriptions -- including "Petri Stellæ et amicor," that is Pierre de l'Estoile (1546-1611), who shared the author's tolerant Catholicism, and his friends -- and several library stamps. A good copy. Binding rubbed and spine tattered, with a clumsy repair. An interesting collection of letters by an early agent of the Counter-Reformation.

491, (5) pp. Baudrier V, p. 187; BMC STC French, p. 59; De Graaf, Bibliographies of Dutch Humanists II, no. 13. Lyonese edition of Snoygoudanus's famous paraphrase of Book of Psalms. Reynerus Snoygoudanus (c. 1477-1537) came from a wealthy family in Gouda. After a brief career as a physician (he had a doctor's degree from the University of Bologna) and a magistrate in his hometown, he devoted his life to theological studies. In the present work, Snoygoudanus alternated the biblical text of the Book of Psalms, based on the Vulgate and printed in roman type, with additional explanatory phrases, printed in italic type. The work was finished in June 1533 (see end of preface) and first published in Antwerp in 1535 by Michiel Hillen van Hoochstraten. It became hugely popular, going through numerous editions. The Magni Athanasij in Psalmos opusculum , written by Athanasius is often printed with Snoygoudanus's work. It was translated into Latin by Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494). Erased ownership entry on title, ownership entry first endleaf; some minor wormholes, in a few leaves very slightly affecting text, some leaves misnumbered; binding slightly rubbed and top of spine damaged; new endpapers.

Adams N-354; BMC STC German, p. 747; Brunet IV, col. 111; Graesse IV, p. 691; MachielsN-689; Rosenwald 909; Wellcome 4582; NBG XX, cols. 373-374 .First edition of this collection of works on the classical world, edited by Sigismund Gelenius (1477-1554). The fifth and largest work, Notitia , is an almanac with a survey of the offices, officials and other aspects of the governmental organization in the eastern and western part of the Roman Empire till the time of the emperors Arcadius (Constantinople; 383-408) and Honorius (Rome; 393-423). It was composed c. 408. The editor Gelenius found this work in old and rare manuscripts. They may all be derived from one manuscript in Speyer, which has since been lost (Graesse). The woodcut illustrations show insignias, official badges, coins, and allegorical depictions of cities and countries. The present volume also contains Beatus Rhenanus's Illyrici provinciarum utrique imperio cum romano tum constantinopolitano seruientis, descriptio (with two nice woodcut views of Rome and Constantinople), and Andrea Alciatus's Iuris consulti, de magistratibus, civilibusque et militaribus officijs . Alciatus is followed by a double-page map of Rome by Johannes Oporinus, dated 1551. De Rebus Bellicis is accompanied by attractive illustrations of chariots, engines of war, and other weapons. The final tract, a dialogue between the Emperor Hadrian and the philosopher Epictetus is opened by a full-page woodcut of both men engaged in a discussion.The present copy is the first edition. It was reprinted several times and each of these editions contains additions and omissions. Some occasional soiling; a good copy.
