| Psalterium, Paraphrasibus illustratum, servataubique adverbum Hieronymi translatione... Magni Athanasij opusculum in Psalmos. Paris, Vivant Gaultherot (colophon: printed by P. de la Vidoue), 1540. 8vo. Title-page with woodcut architectural border. Modern half vellum.
|
468, (4) pp. De Graaf, Bibliographies of Dutch Humanists II, no. 10 (edition divided between L'Angelier, Foucher and Gaultherot); not in Adams, BMC STC French . Parisian 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. According to De Graaf, the present edition was divided between Arnoul & Charles L'Angelier, Jean Foucher and Vivant Gaultherot. He lists one copy of the edition published with Vivant Gaultherout's name. 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). Hand-written note and faint library stamp on title and first endleaf, outer margin shaved, causing loss of image on title and loss of marginal comments, several underlinings in brown ink, outer margins slightly waterstained, minor wormhole inner margin throughout, only sometimes very slightly affecting text. Despite these defects, a good copy of this famous paraphrase of the Book of Psalms.

Antoninus Florentinus (1389 - 1459)

| Summa Theologicae.
|
Venedig, Nicolaus Jenson, 1477. Band III, erster Teil. Imp.-8°; 29,5 cm hoch, 21,5 cm tief. 352 Bll. (a12, b-E10, F-H8, I6, K8). Moderner Einband aus einem handschriftlichen Antiphonar. Sehr guter Zustand. Eine sehr schöne Ausgabe des dritten Band der "Summa theologicae" des heiligen Antoninus (Antoninus Florentinus) von Florenz (1389-1459). Der Band enthält zwei kunstvoll gestaltete Schmuckinitialen. Auf goldgehöhtem Grund wurden die jeweiligen Buchstaben in einem leuchtenden Dunkelblau aufgetragen, wobei die Enden und Innenflächen mit floralen Ornamenten und Motiven in äußerst kontrastreichen Farben geschmückt wurden. Durch die Verwendung von sehr feinen Pinselstriche, wirken die Initialen besonders zart und eindrucksvoll. Die erste Initiale besticht dabei besonders durch ein reich über mehrere Zeilen ausuferndes Rankenwerk in Blau, Grün, Rot und Gold. Weiterhin enthält der Band mehrere einfarbige, handgemalte Initialen in Rot und Blau sowie durchgehende Rubrizierungen in denselben Farben. Der moderne Einband wurde unter Zuhilfenahme eines handschriftlichen Antiphonars aus hochwertigem Pergament hergestellt. [Zustand des Einbandes: 1- / Zustand des Papiers: 2+ / Sonstige Anmerkungen: Der Einband befindet sich in hervorragendem Zustand. Das Papier ist kaum nachgedunkelt und nur mit wenigen Marginalien in alter Hand. Blatt a6 fachkundig repariert mit minimalem Textverlust. Die Schmuckinitialen sind ebenfalls erstaunlich gut erhalten und erstrahlen frisch und stark. Es handelt sich um eine beeindruckende Inkunabelausgabe der "Summa theologicae". Vor allem in diesem Zustand ist sie nur noch äußerst selten zu finden.] Antoninus Pierozzi, später Antoninus Florentinus genannt, wurde 1389 geboren und trat mit bereits 16 Jahren in den Dominikanerorden ein. Er wirkte als Ordensmann in Cortona, Fiesole, Neapel und Rom. 1436 gründete er das berühmte Kloster San Marco in Florenz und wenig später die noch heute bestehende Gesellschaft "Buonomini di San Martino" ("guten Männer vom heiligen Martin"). Ab 1446 war er als Erzbischof von Florenz tätig. Antoninus wurde vor allem für seine Güte und Aufopferungsbereitschaft geschätzt. Insbesondere als Florenz in kurzer Periode zunächst von einer Pestepidemie, dann von einer Hungersnot und schließlich von einem schweren Erdbeben heimgesucht wurde, wurde Antoninus als Wohltäter der Armen bekannt. 1523 sprach Papst Hadrian VI. Antoninus heilig. Er gilt als Patron im Unglück und bei Fieber. Die "Summa theologicae" gilt nicht nur als eine der wichtigsten Schriften zur Moraltheologie, sondern auch als zuverlässiges Dokument der Geschichte und Justiz des 15. Jahrhunderts. Bei der vorliegenden Inkunabel handelt es sich um den dritten Teil der vierbändigen Reihe, der in außerordentlich gutem Zustand erhalten ist. Es ist sehr selten eine so reich verzierte und komplette Ausgabe von Antoninus Florentinus Werk zu finden. Die goldgehöhten Initialen sind wunderbar erhalten und verleihem den Werk einen ganz besonderen Glanz. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

[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.

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 Benvenuto's 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 Dante's 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 'divine' 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").

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 Naples in 1476 and 1477, the fount passed on to Rome where, with slight adaptations, we see it in 1478 and 1479 in the hands of the printer there named 'Johannes Bulle de Bremen'. His identity is problematic, for when we see the same fount again, in 1480 and 1481, it is in the first books printed in London, also printed by a printer named Johannes but this time with the surname 'Lettou', which may indicate his origin from Latvia. He is recorded as Theutonicus' in the London registers of aliens. Whatever the identity of the printer, we find the first books printed in London printed in types first selected a few years earlier by Mathias Moravus in Naples. Naples is not the birthplace of Mathias Moravus. He was a friar, born in the village of Cetechowitz near Olomouc in Moravia, in the east of the modern Czech Republic. Before settling as a printer he left a (sporadic) trail as a scribe and probably illuminator. The main source is a two-volume manuscript of the letters of St Jerome, written in 1468, probably in Vicenza, for Moses Buffarello, bishop of Belluno and temporarily of Vicenza. It is now in the Musee Conde in Chantilly. It is written in a fine rotunda hand, and we shall return to its outstanding illumination. Another manuscript, probably written in Verona and containing miscellaneous Latin texts (including one by Cicero), was sold in 1927 in Milan at an auction by Hoepli; from an illustration we can see that its script is rather similar to the style of the type of the St Augustine. Apparently it was not decorated, but we can learn from it at least that as a scribe Mathias Moravus was able to vary his styles as the occasion demanded, in the same way as printers could vary their founts (provided they possessed them). Thus we can follow what must be the final part of Mathias's itinerary from Moravia to the Veneto in the late 1460s, hence to Genoa, where he printed two very substantial books in 1474 (one in association with a Michael de Monacho), to settle for good in Naples, where he produced between 1475 and 1492 more than 60 titles. Printing in Naples had a character unique among the Italian centres of printing due to its royal court, a court that showed an active interest in book production and protected printers. Mathias Moravus was the second major printer to settle there, preceded in 1471 by Sixtus Riessinger, who worked in partnership with an Italian, Francesco del Tuppo, who later took over the business supported by his three 'fidelissimi Germani' who stayed after Riessinger had left. Naples had in common with all printing in Italy that in the early decades it was overwhelmingly carried out by Germans and others from north of the Alps, and del Tuppo's 'fidelissimi' may remind us that not only the named printers moved to Italy, but that they took with them craftsmen to work in their printers shops, contributing their skills and their own traditions. In Naples alone there were in the fifteenth century about twenty named printers from north of the Alps, many of them staying for only a short time. How many workmen they brought remains a matter for speculation. Mathias Moravus was a very competent printer, with perhaps a slight penchant for technical bravura: his formats range from very large (royal) folio to a miniature book of hours in 320 - highly exceptional at that date. One of the special skills he brought to book production may have been refined illumination. When we compare a sample of illuminated copies of his books (to date admittedly a small sample, based on those available in the British Library), and also compare them with the manuscript of 1468 (of which the two opening leaves of the two volumes are available in reproductions), we find characteristic elements common to them all. Perhaps the most striking characteristic is the mixture of Italian and North-European, or rather German stylistic elements. The other not less striking element is th...

[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.

|
(14) Bl. Index und Inhaltsverzeichnis, 466 (richtig 461) Bl. mit über 30 größeren und über 30 kleineren figürlich ausgeschmückten Initialen, Blattgröße ca. 34,8 x 24,7 cm. Dunkelbrauner Lederband der Zeit in einer modernen Leinenkassette (Rücken beschädigt, Kanten berieben, Einbandbezug mit Fehlstellen), Folio. Notariell beglaubigte Bestandsaufnahme der Liegenschaften des adligen Grundherren mitsamt einer Aufzählung der Familien und Personen, die als Pächter oder Nutzer Einzelteile des Besitzes innehaben und dafür Leistungen in Naturalabgaben, Arbeit oder Geld zu entrichten haben. Eingangs erklärt der Notar "Jean Sayre, de Sainct Amour, noter publiq et commissaire deppute ... par auctorite et lestres de la cours souveraine de parlement a Dole", daß er gebeten wurde alle Höfe, Häuser und Erbgüter des "Francois de Chaulcin, ecuier seigneur de Beauchemin et Vincelles" aufzulisten (Bl. 1 f.). Mit Blatt 5 beginnt die Aufzählung der Güter und zwar zuerst jener des eigentlichen Herrschaftssitzes: "Sensuit le domaine et autres droits seigneuriauls", mit den dazugehörigen unmittelbaren Dependancen in Cilly-le-Vignoble. Das umfasst 10 Meierhöfe mit Rechten wie etwa dem Zehnt, die "terres arables", die "vignes" und schließlich die Wiesen und Weiden. Ab Blatt 17 folgt dann die Auflistung aller Güter, beginnend mit den in Cilly-le-Vignoble gelegenen, die in den Händen von Pächter- und Unterpächterfamilien sind. Dabei wird zuerst immer vorgestellt, um wen es sich bei den Pächtern handelt, wie das Gut beschaffen ist und welche Abgaben darauf liegen; dem folgt die Beglaubigung dieser Rechte und Pflichten durch die Unterschrift des Notars. Das Verzeichnis der Güter und Pächter endet, soweit es Cilly-le-Vignoble betrifft, auf Blatt 108 b, die letzten vier Blätter behandeln unter anderem Mühlenrechte. Es folgen die Liegenschaften in Collans und Schavance (bis Bl. 114), dann Corboson (bis Bl. 120), Frebuance (Bl. 123 bis 153), die Dependancen von Trenay (Bl. 156 bis 206), Sainct Laurence (Bl. 209 bis 216), Milley (Bl. 218 bis 229), Condamine (Bl. 231 bis 274), Nachträge zu Corboson (Bl. 275 bis 281), Montmorot (Bl. 282 bis 310), Vincelles (Bl. 317 bis 359), eingefügt ist hier Vercia (Bl. 343 bis 344), Rotelly (Bl. 361 bis 373), Greusses (Bl. 378 bis 381), Sainct Agnes (383 bis 395), Vercia (Bl. 397 bis 418), Paisia (Bl. 420 bis 429), Bonaisot (Bl. 430 bis 435), Sezancey (Bl. 440 bis zum Schluß). Nachdem für jeden Besitz deren Pächter(familien) oder Inhaber namentlich aufgeführt werden und erklären, daß sie aus freien Stücken erscheinen, wird ihr Status, ihr Besitz und ihre Abgabenverpflichtung notariell beglaubigt und die Art der Abgaben oder Verpflichtungen festgehalten. An Naturalabgaben sind etwa Weizen, Hafer oder Hühner abzuliefern, dann "Corve" oder "corve a charrure", das heißt Tagwerke mit und ohne Pflug. Fast generell sind auch Abgaben in Geld zu entrichten. Seit dem 12. Jahrhundert war Dole die Hauptstadt der Franche-Comté und kam mit dieser 1384 zum Herzogtum Burgund. 1477 wurde Dole mitsamt der ganzen Franche-Comté habsburgisch und wurde erst 1674 von Frankreich zurückerobert. Die Grundherrschaft, die im vorliegenden Terrier erfaßt wird, gehörte also zu jener Zeit zum habsburgischen Reich. Der Streubesitz des Herrn Francois de Chauclin umfasste dabei Grundeigentum in Dörfern und Weilern, die alle um und in Lons-le-Saunier gelegen sind, das 1800 zur Hauptstadt des Departements Jura erhoben wurde. Sämtliche dieser Orte sind auch heute noch (mit teils leicht veränderter Schreibweise) nachweisbar (vergl. u.a. Rousset: Dictionnaire géographique, historique et statistique des communes de la Franche-Comté ..., Bd.1). Möglicherweise wurde das vorliegende Besitzverzeichnis so ausführlich und akkurat erstellt, weil der Inhaber, Francois de Chauclin, seinen Besitz verkaufen wollte. Zumindest legt die weitere Entwicklung dieser adligen Grundherrschaft dies nahe, denn nur etwas mehr als zehn Jahre nach Abfassung des Grundbuchs wird der Gesamtbesitz an Guillaume de Chissey verkauft. 1750 erwarb Prinz Isenghien das gesamte Areal um es seinen bereits umfangreichen Besitztümern zuzuschlagen. Abgesehen von dem Wert des Grundbuchs für die Erforschung der frühneuzeitlichen Wirtschaftsgeschichte, für die derartige Besitz- und Abgabenverzeichnisse eine Hauptquelle darstellen, liegt die Besonderheit der vorliegenden Arbeit in der Art ihrer Ausführung: Dutzende von schmückenden Initialen aus Gesichtern, Fabeltieren und Pflanzen überraschen insbesondere im zweiten Teil der Handschrift. Sind so umfangreiche Verzeichnisse seigneuraler Liegenschaften und der entsprechenden Rechte und Pflichten aus der Zeit des Spätfeudalismus ohnehin sehr selten, besticht hier zusätzlich noch die Qualität der kalligraphischen Ausführung. Geschrieben in der typischen, von italienischen Schreibmeisterbüchern beeinflußten, französischen Kanzleischrift des 16. Jahrhunderts, finden sich Übereinstimmungen mit Vespasiano Amphiareos Schreibmeisterbuch von 1554, insbesondere in den stark stilisierten 'J' zu Zeilenbeginn und den nach links gezogenen 'd' -Längen. (Siehe Abb. in James Wardrop: The Scipt of Humanism, 1963, pl. 56; den Hinweis verdanken wir dem Kollegen R. M.). - Der Index ist nicht komplett (es fehlen die Angaben für Chilley), die ersten 16 Bl. mit Fehlstellen im weißen Rand, die ersten 40 Bl. wasserrandig, danach abnehmende Feuchtigkeitsspuren, zwei Bl. am Falz verstärkt, Bindung gelockert, wenige Lagen lose, die letzten 27 Bl. mit Wasserrand, dadurch die Tinte stellenweise verwischt, diese Bl. auch mit einigem Tintenfraß.

religione - incunabolo, Venezia 1477 In-folio (291x202 mm), [336] c., la prima bianca. Carattere gotico (77 G), testo su due colonne di 50 linee, spazi per iniziali con letterine guida. Alla prima carta di testo una grande iniziale su venti linee in rosso e verde, tutto il testo rubricato con iniziali di diversa grandezza. Legatura inglese dei primi anni del XX secolo in marocchino bordeaux, i piatti inquadrati da una decorazione geometrica impressa a secco, dorso a quattro nervi con titolo in oro. Provenienza: Monastero di Botendale (iscrizione del XV secolo alla prima carta); Marburg (nota alla prima carta); Albert Herman (monogramma); Willialm Foyle (ex libris). Bell’esemplare, le prime e le ultime carte presentano nei margini qualche foro di tarlo anticamente riparato, uno strappo nel margine bianco della carta g2, qualche postilla di mano coeva. Abrasioni ai piatti e agli angoli della legatura. Seconda edizione, uscita a brevissima distanza dalla prima (Treviso 1477), del commento di San Bonaventura al secondo libro delle sentenze di Pietro Lombardo. Composti intorno al 1150 i Libri Sententiarum di Pietro Lombardo rappresentano uno dei testi più importanti della teologia medioevale costituendo, almeno fino alla fine del XVI, quando verranno sostituiti dalla Summa di San Tommaso, la principale base dell’insegnamento teologico. 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".

Antoninus Florentinus (1389 - 1459)

|
| Summa Theologicae.
|
Venice, Nicolaus Jenson, 1477. Volume III, Part one. Imp. 8to; 11.6 in x 8.5 in. 352 leaves (a12, b-E10, F-H8, I6, K8). Modern binding using an old hand-written antiphonary. Very good condition. A beautiful edition of the third volume of St. Anthony (Antoninus Florentinus; 1389-1459) of Florence's "Summa theologicae". The incunable contains two artistically decorated ornate initials. The letters were painted in luminant shades of blue onto a gilted background. The ends and inner areas of the letters were decorated with floral ornaments in magnificently contrasting colours. By using very fine brush strokes, the initials appear beautifully delicate and impressive. The first initial is especially captivating with its rich entwining borders in blue, green, red and gold, which reach wide into the margins of the page. Furthermore the volume contains numerous single-colour initials in red or blue as well as carefully hand painted rubrications in the same two colours. The modern binding was made using a hand written antiphonary made of high quality vellum. [ Condition of the binding: Very Good / Condition of the paper: Good (+) / Further remarks: The binding is in marvellous condition. The paper is hardly browned and only with few small annotations in old hand. Leaf a6 professionally repaired with minimal text loss. The ornate initials are preserved in excellent condition. The colours seem fresh and strong. This is a very impressive incunable edition of the "Summa theologicae". It is very rare to find such a beautiful copy in such excellent condition. ] Antoninus Pierozzi, later Antoninus Florentinus, was born in 1389 and joined the Dominican Order at the age of 16. He worked for the order in Cortona, Fiesole, Naples as well as Rome and founded the famous convent San Marco in Florence 1436. The society "Buonomini di San Martino" (The good men of Saint Martin) was also created by Antoninus and is still in existence today. In 1446 he was ordained Archbishop of Florence- Antoninus was highly admired for his benevolence and self sacrifice. Especially when Florence was devasted by the black death followed closely by famine and earthquakes, Antoninus was known to help the people in need. Pope Hadrian VI. canonised Antoninus in 1523. He is regarded as the patron saint of people in danger or in fever. The "Summa theologicae" is one of the most important works of moral theology and an important document for the history and legal system of the 15th century. The copy at hand is the third part of four volumes and was preserved completely and in extraordinary condition. The modern binding using an old hand-written antiphonary emphasises the beauty of this incunable which captivates with its stunning hand painted and gilted initials.

468, (4) pp. De Graaf, Bibliographies of Dutch Humanists II, no. 10 (edition divided between L'Angelier, Foucher and Gaultherot); not in Adams, BMC STC French. Parisian 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. According to De Graaf, the present edition was divided between Arnoul & Charles L'Angelier, Jean Foucher and Vivant Gaultherot. He lists one copy of the edition published with Vivant Gaultherout's name. 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). Hand-written note and faint library stamp on title and first endleaf, outer margin shaved, causing loss of image on title and loss of marginal comments, several underlinings in brown ink, outer margins slightly waterstained, minor wormhole inner margin throughout, only sometimes very slightly affecting text.

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 Naples in 1476 and 1477, the fount passed on to Rome where, with slight adaptations, we see it in 1478 and 1479 in the hands of the printer there named 'Johannes Bulle de Bremen'. His identity is problematic, for when we see the same fount again, in 1480 and 1481, it is in the first books printed in London, also printed by a printer named Johannes but this time with the surname 'Lettou', which may indicate his origin from Latvia. He is recorded as Theutonicus' in the London registers of aliens. Whatever the identity of the printer, we find the first books printed in London printed in types first selected a few years earlier by Mathias Moravus in Naples. Naples is not the birthplace of Mathias Moravus. He was a friar, born in the village of Cetechowitz near Olomouc in Moravia, in the east of the modern Czech Republic. Before settling as a printer he left a (sporadic) trail as a scribe and probably illuminator. The main source is a two-volume manuscript of the letters of St Jerome, written in 1468, probably in Vicenza, for Moses Buffarello, bishop of Belluno and temporarily of Vicenza. It is now in the Musee Conde in Chantilly. It is written in a fine rotunda hand, and we shall return to its outstanding illumination. Another manuscript, probably written in Verona and containing miscellaneous Latin texts (including one by Cicero), was sold in 1927 in Milan at an auction by Hoepli; from an illustration we can see that its script is rather similar to the style of the type of the St Augustine. Apparently it was not decorated, but we can learn from it at least that as a scribe Mathias Moravus was able to vary his styles as the occasion demanded, in the same way as printers could vary their founts (provided they possessed them). Thus we can follow what must be the final part of Mathias's itinerary from Moravia to the Veneto in the late 1460s, hence to Genoa, where he printed two very substantial books in 1474 (one in association with a Michael de Monacho), to settle for good in Naples, where he produced between 1475 and 1492 more than 60 titles. Printing in Naples had a character unique among the Italian centres of printing due to its royal court, a court that showed an active interest in book production and protected printers. Mathias Moravus was the second major printer to settle there, preceded in 1471 by Sixtus Riessinger, who worked in partnership with an Italian, Francesco del Tuppo, who later took over the business supported by his three 'fidelissimi Germani' who stayed after Riessinger had left. Naples had in common with all printing in Italy that in the early decades it was overwhelmingly carried out by Germans and others from north of the Alps, and del Tuppo's 'fidelissimi' may remind us that not only the named printers moved to Italy, but that they took with them craftsmen to work in their printers shops, contributing their skills and their own traditions. In Naples alone there were in the fifteenth century about twenty named printers from north of the Alps, many of them staying for only a short time. How many workmen they brought remains a matter for speculation. Mathias Moravus was a very competent printer, with perhaps a slight penchant for technical bravura: his formats range from very large (royal) folio to a miniature book of hours in 320 - highly exceptional at that date. One of the special skills he brought to book production may have been refined illumination. When we compare a sample of illuminated copies of his books (to date admittedly a small sample, based on those available in the British Library), and also compare them with the manuscript of 1468 (of which the two opening leaves of the two volumes are available in reproductions), we find characteristic elements common to them all. Perhaps the most striking characteristic is the mixture of Italian and North-European, or rather German stylistic elements. The other not less striking element is th...

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.

Sm.8vo. Modern vellum. With woodcut printer's device of a cat with a mouse on title. 52 lvs. Early Venice edition of one of the great pedagogical works of the Renaissance, ranking with Vives's "De Disciplinis" and Wimpfeling's "Adolescentia". The book is dedicated to Guillaume du Bellay, the celebrated humanist and diplomat in the service of the French king Francois I. Jacopo Sadoleto (1477-1547), modest and moderate of character, was a model of the Italian Renaissance-men of letters, raised on classical values, but polished by a sensitive Catholicism. After Luther had posted up his theses at Wittemburg, Sadoleto wrote on request of Pope Leo X to Erasmus to persuade him not to join Luther, which was the beginning of a lifelong correspondence between these two great men. When positions at Rome hardened, Sadoleto withdrew discouraged to his bishopry at Carpentras, where he devoted his energies to a just administration, to the promotion of education, and to his writings. In 1530 or 1531 Sadoleto published the present dialogue on liberal education. It is primarly a discourse on curriculum, rather than a manual for teachers, and shows no evidence of borrowing from Erasmus, whose "De pueris instituendis" had been published just a year before, in 1529. Although both, Sadoleto and Erasmus, adhered to the Petrarchean emphasis on tutored virtue, conceiving of education as a precondition of a moral life, Erasmus was far more explicit in his accent on religious instruction. Sadoleto at the other hand first set forth the separate functions of each learned discipline in long and digressive detail, and only then he goes on to say that the sum of all those studies - from grammar to music - is their fusion in philosophy, that is in the perception of essences and immutable things. Philosophy then marks the point, according to Sadoleto, at which knowledge generates virtue and harmonises desire with reason. This was of course much more a Platonic than a Christian point of view, but Sadoleto's dialogue was essential a humanist defence of the liberal arts, arising from his concern for the future of sound learning in Italy. Good copy of a rare work.- (Title and first text-leaf sl. worn with some dam. to the paper but without loss of text; some sl. marginal foxing).
