LUTHER]. COCHLAEUS, Johannes.
Septiceps Lutherus, ubique sibi, suis scriptis, co[n]trarius, in Visitatione[m] Saxonica[m], p. D.D. Ioa[n]. Cocleu[m], editus. Leipzig, Valentinus Schumann, X Maias Calendas 1529. 4to. Full-page woodcut engraving on title-page, showing Luther with 7 heads, several historiated initials and woodcut borders. Old boards.
(6), (64) ll. Adams C-2287; BMC STC German, p. 250; Campbell Dodgson, Cat. of Early German and Flemish Woodcuts II, p. 413, no. 10; Pegg, German Reformation Pamphlets in Libraries of Great Britain and Ireland 697; Spahn 61a; NUC (2 copies); VD 16, C-4386 (at least 3 copies). Rare first edition of Cochlaeus's polemic caricature of Luther. Johannes Cochlaeus (German name Dobneck; 1479-1552) was one of the most prominent German polemicists against the Reformation in Germany. He disagreed with Luther's opinions on the sacrament of the ordination of priests, the Eucharist, the relationship between free will and grace, etc., and decided to devote his life to fighting the Reformation in order to perserve the unity of the church. He wrote over two hundred histories and pamphlets. In the present pamphlet, Cochlaeus sets out to convert the changes and developments in Luther's thinking over the years into, often farfetched, contradictions. According to Cochlaeus, the young "Doctor Martinus" still held acceptable opinions, but this changes during "Lutherus" years in Worms. "(Luther) Ecclesiastes" represents the total rupture with the Roman Catholic Church. Via "(Luther) Suermus," a head with swarming bees, symbolizing the furious ragings of the reformers, Luther's personality develops a "Barrabas" streak as instigator of war and looting, before settling as "Visitator." On the woodcut, the Barrabas and Visitator heads have been interchanged. Cochlaeus structures his work around a dialogue between these seven heads on different theological issues. The reply of his Protestant opponents was that if the Roman Catholic Church already failed to suppress a single-headed Luther, a seven-headed Luther would be entirely invincible. The present copy is the first edition. The work also appeared in German in 1529, and went through several editions in that language. Library stamps on inside front cover, endleaf and title-page, some waterstaining; marginal annotations and corrections as well as textual deletions in brown ink; some browning.

CAMILLO, Giulio.
Due trattati...L'uno delle materie che possono uenir sotto lo stile dell'eloquente: l'altro della imitatione,
(Venice, nella stamparia de Farri, [15]44) 4to. 2 works in one vol. 113 (of 114, with the penultimate errata leaf but lacks the final blank) + 48ff. Woodcut devices on title-pages, commentary printed round text in first work, red woodcut diagram printed over text on C4r in second work, title-page of second work a little browned, a few minor spots and stains, in English eighteenth century sprinkled calf, gilt spine, thin decorative border round sides. Two attractively printed works. The first is the first edition of Daniello's translation of Virgil's Georgics into blank verse, printed in the same year as his version of Virgil's Aeneid, book two. He also wrote a treatise on poetry and published commentaries on Petrarch and Dante. Giulio Camillo (1479-1544) was an expert in Greek, Latin, Hebrew and several oriental languages; but his passion was the Cabala and ancient Egyptian philosophy. He taught logic for a while at Bologna and spent many years at the court of Francois Ier where the king gave him a great deal of money to perfect his new system for teaching languges. He died in Milan. This copy belonged to Sir Richard Worsley (1751-1805), antiquary, traveller and founder of the 'Museum Worsleyanum', the first part of which catalogue he published in 1798 at the extraordinary price of ?2,887.4s., excluding binding costs.

AUGUSTINUS DE ANCONA
Summa de potestate ecclesiastica.
Roma, Francesco de Cinquinis 20 dicembre 1479 4to (cm 23), attraente legatura coeva in pelle su assi di legno, di area tedesca, con decorazioni a secco ai piatti, dorso abilmente rifatto nello stile del tempo; mancano i fermagli metallici. Bel taglio iscritto al margine esterno, pregevoli risguardi originali ricavati da manoscritto teologico trecentesco; esemplare fresco e bello, due singoli fori di tarlo attraversano i primi fascicoli, toccando talvolta qq. lettera; vv. annotazioni ms. di appartenenza in fine. Testo su due colonne, cc. 328 (la prima bianca). Terza edizione, rara. E’ inoltre uno dei pochi esempi dell’attività di questo tipografo romano attivo negli anni Settanta del XV secolo. L’opera è una sostanziale risposta al "Defensor Pacis" con cui Marsilio da Padova prendeva posizione in favore di Lodovico il Bavaro contro Giovanni XXII e l’assolutismo papale. Lo scritto del canonista anconetano, emulo di Egidio Romano, ebbe l’elogio dello stesso Pontefice, e intendeva riconoscere la potestà diretta, secondo la quale anche il potere temporale doveva essere concesso dal Papa ai sovrani, rimanendone al contempo egli stesso arbitro. In passato, come puntualizza il DBI (vol.1, pp.475-478), l’identità dell’A è stata spesso confusa per una probabile omonimia; di certo egli morì nel 1328 a Napoli, città nella quale aveva ricoperto l’incarico di cappellano e consigliere del Re Roberto, e dove aveva rafforzato la propria fama di teologo e polemista di prim’ordine.

EUSEBIUS DI CESAREA
Historia ecclesiastica. (Trad. Rufinus Aquileiensis)
Mantova, Johannes Schall, s.d. 15 luglio 1479 Folio (cm 29.5), pergamena cinquecentesca con titolo manoscritto al dorso, fresco esemplare con larghi margini, completamente rubricato all’epoca in rosso, con centinaia di lettere iniziali, ed alcune lettere capitali in rosso e blu (forse lievem. posteriori). Testo in caratt. romano su 34 linee, cc. 172 non num. Quarta edizione (ma la seconda stampata in Italia, dopo Roma 1476) dopo la prima del 1474 della famosa opera storica di Eusebio di Cesarea (265-340 d.C.), originariamente composta in greco e qui tradotta in latino. Come avverte l’autore nella prefazione, l’opera intende presentare la storia della Chiesa dai tempi degli Apostoli fino ai suoi giorni, in particolare per ciò che riguarda: le successioni episcopali nelle principali sedi; i teologi cristiani; le eresie; gli ebrei; i martiri. Il materiale, raggruppato cronologicamente secondo le epoche degli imperatori, fa riferimento a fonti più antiche, ed è quindi uno dei più eccezionali documenti storici sul cristianesimo. Il libro I è una dettagliata introduzione su Gesù Cristo, mentre l’ultimo, il X, si chiude prima della morte di Cristo (326), essendo dedicato a Paolino di Tiro (morto tra il 324 e il 325).

In-4° (205x145 mm), legatura monastica parlante in cuoio su assi di legno con impressioni a secco ai piatti, resti del fermo della catena, dorso rinnovato nel secolo XVIII, fermagli parzialmente preservati, cc. 380.

Belle rubricature in rosso lungo tutto il volume con eleganti filigrane in inchiostro. RARA EDIZIONE DELLA SUMMA PISANELLA impressa dal Wild nel 1479: per errore tipografico, in tutti gli esemplari appare al colophon la data 1489. Concepita da Nicolò da Osimo († dopo il 1453), giurista e teologo francescano, come addendum alla Summa confessorum (o Pisanella) del frate domenicano Bartolomeo da San Concordio (1262-1347) fu pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1473. L'opera, al pari del Confessionale del Caimi, suo confratello nel convento di santa Maria degli Angeli a Milano, appartiene alla manualistica penitenziale e divenne presto un testo di riferimento per la sua agevole disposizione alfabetica, che lo rende simile a un dizionario di teologia morale. Tra i capitoli, particolarmente gustoso è quello riguardante l'ebbrezza: da non considerarsi peccato se imputabile ad un vino di scarsa qualità, colpa veniale se conseguente a un'occasione conviviale e, infine, peccato mortale se la volontà di ubriacarsi è premeditata. All'opera sono uniti i Canones Poenitentiales del frate Astesano da Asti († 1330 ca.) e i Consilia contra Iudeos fenerantes del giurista vicentino Alessandro Nievo (1419 ca.-1485 ca.), un'originale raccolta di opinioni legali sull'usura. Alcune gore, più intense alla fine del volume. Il taglio principale è leggermente consunto nella parte superiore. PROVENIENZA: Interessanti glosse coeve di possesso, non identificate.

Very rare first edition of this disputation by Cochlaeus (Dobneck) against Luther. Johannes Cochlaeus (1479-1552) is known for his unremitting zeal in disputing the cause of the Reformation. He studied in Cologne, Nuremberg, and Ferrara, and had many contacts in humanist circles. He disagreed out of principle with Luther's opinions of the sacrament of priests, salvation, the relation between free will and grace, etc., and from 1520 onward devoted his life to preserving the unity of the church. He participated in all the major conventions, for instance Worms, Augsburg, and Trent, and wrote over two hundred histories and pamphlets. His exemplary lifestyle, his thorough knowledge of theological issues, and his willingness to compromise made him a keyfigure in the renewal of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany. In the present work, Cochlaeus quotes 154 statements by Luther, mainly about the relation between the law and good works and the Eucharist, and gives the Roman Catholic viewpoint. Library stamps on inside front cover, endleaves, title-page A3 recto; staining on m1v and m2r; marginal annotations and underlinings in brown ink.An attractive copy with broad margins.

PULCI LUCA
IL DRIADEO D'AMORE.
(In fine, colophon:) Florentie, (Nicolaus Laurentii Alamanus), die tertia Aprelis M.CCCC.LXXVIIII. (Firenze, 1479), in-8, ff. 58 (i primi due ff., con la dedica, sono in antico fac-simile), legatura in marocchino granata con decoraz. oro, filetto ai piatti, tagli dor., dent. int., titolo al dorso (bound by Lloyd).(questo esemplare apparve nella vendita Hoepli, 23-28 aprile 1923). Prima edizione di mitica rarita' del "Driadeo d'amore", dedicato dall'autore nel 1465 a Lorenzo de' Medici. Si tratta di un poema mitologico in ottava rima, celebre per aver fatto parte della biblioteca di Leonardo da Vinci. La scena e' ambientata sui monti Calvanei nel Mugello, avvicinabile per l'argomento al Ninfale Fiesolano del Boccaccio. Racconta l'amore del satiro Severe per la ninfa Lora, come Diana lo trasformo' in un liocorno, e come fu ferito dalla stessa Lora, nel fiume Sieve, e come poi la ninfa fosse tramutata nel fiume Lora, che si confonde col Sieve. Luca Pulci (Firenze 1431, morto in prigione per debiti a Roma nel 1470) fu fratello del piu' noto Luigi, che probabilmente lo aiuto' a stilare il Driadeo. "La comica vicenda narrata da Severe nel secondo libro del Driadeo e' il celebre Anfitrione di Plauto. Il testo plautino, come' noto, conobbe unininterrotta fortuna nel medioevo e nel Rinascimento" (Lanza pp. 110-36). Testo poetico in volgare in edizione censita in sole quattro biblioteche nel mondo (Manchester, Harvard, Firenze Nazionale e Riccardiana).

Eusebius Caesariensis.
HISTORIA ECCLESIASTICA. [Translated by Rufinus].
Johann Schall. Mantua July 1479 Folio. ff.(172), complete with the final blank leaf. Roman type. 19th c. full red morocco, neatly rebacked to match, with the old gilt spine laid down. Numerous marginal "references" in an early hand. Front pastedown with a small leather bookplate of Eduardo J. Bullrich; and a paper bookplate reading, "Francisci Caesaris Augusti Munificentia."Small round ownership stamps at bottom blank margin of the first leaf of text. Eusebius (circa 260 to circa 340) is considered the father of Church history and this text is the most important ecclesiastic history produced in ancient times. This particular volume is an interesting specimen from the press of Johann Schall, the printer-physician of Mantua. It is the only known work from the second press of this printer, who established his first press at Mantua in 1475. He is supposed to have been one of the German printers hired by Adamo Micheli, who introduced the art of printing into Mantua. This is also the only book from this press printed in a fine, large Roman type; one of two books with a metrical colophon and the printer's name; and the first book to have printed catchwords on each page. "The volumes issued from his press are of equal beauty and rarity; and it is seldom that we see a more eloquent specimen of ancient typography than that (Eusebius) which is now before us."

Rare first edition of Cochlaeus's polemic caricature of Luther. Johannes Cochlaeus (German name Dobneck; 1479-1552) was one of the most prominent German polemicists against the Reformation in Germany. He disagreed with Luther's opinions on the sacrament of the ordination of priests, the Eucharist, the relationship between free will and grace, etc., and decided to devote his life to fighting the Reformation in order to perserve the unity of the church. He wrote over two hundred histories and pamphlets. In the present pamphlet, Cochlaeus sets out to convert the changes and developments in Luther's thinking over the years into, often farfetched, contradictions. According to Cochlaeus, the young "Doctor Martinus" still held acceptable opinions, but this changes during "Lutherus" years in Worms. "(Luther) Ecclesiastes" represents the total rupture with the Roman Catholic Church. Via "(Luther) Suermus," a head with swarming bees, symbolizing the furious ragings of the reformers, Luther's personality develops a "Barrabas" streak as instigator of war and looting, before settling as "Visitator." On the woodcut, the Barrabas and Visitator heads have been interchanged. Cochlaeus structures his work around a dialogue between these seven heads on different theological issues. The reply of his Protestant opponents was that if the Roman Catholic Church already failed to suppress a single-headed Luther, a seven-headed Luther would be entirely invincible. The present copy is the first edition. The work also appeared in German in 1529, and went through several editions in that language. Library stamps on inside front cover, endleaf and title-page, some waterstaining; marginal annotations and corrections as well as textual deletions in brown ink; some browning.

Eusebius Caesariensis.
HISTORIA ECCLESIASTICA. [Translated by Rufinus].
Johann Schall. July, Mantua 1479 Eusebius (circa 260 to circa 340) is considered the father of Church history and this text is the most important ecclesiastic history produced in ancient times. This particular volume is an interesting specimen from the press of Johann Schall, the printer-physician of Mantua. It is the only known work from the second press of this printer, who established his first press at Mantua in 1475. He is supposed to have been one of the German printers hired by Adamo Micheli, who introduced the art of printing into Mantua. This is also the only book from this press printed in a fine, large Roman type; one of two books with a metrical colophon and the printer's name; and the first book to have printed catchwords on each page. "The volumes issued from his press are of equal beauty and rarity; and it is seldom that we see a more eloquent specimen of ancient typography than that (Eusebius) which is now before us." Thomas Frognall Dibdin. Goff E127; BMC VII 933; HC 6711. Hain Copinger 6711. Folio. ff.(172), complete with the final blank leaf.

Rare first edition of Cochlaeus's polemic caricature of Luther. Johannes Cochlaeus (German name Dobneck; 1479-1552) was one of the most prominent German polemicists against the Reformation in Germany. He disagreed with Luther's opinions on the sacrament of the ordination of priests, the Eucharist, the relationship between free will and grace, etc., and decided to devote his life to fighting the Reformation in order to perserve the unity of the church. He wrote over two hundred histories and pamphlets. In the present pamphlet, Cochlaeus sets out to convert the changes and developments in Luther's thinking over the years into, often farfetched, contradictions. According to Cochlaeus, the young "Doctor Martinus" still held acceptable opinions, but this changes during "Lutherus" years in Worms.

BONAVENTURA.
SERMONES DE TEMPORE ET DE SANCTIS. ZWOLLE, (JOHANNES DE VOLLENHOE), 1479.
4to. Later calf, red and blue mottled edges. All initials supplied in red, rubricated throughout. (340) lvs. First edition of a pseudo-Bonaventura, directly starting on recto of first leaf with the index: "Registrum sermonum et de tempore et de sanctis cum communi sanctorum at populum divini Bonaventure Cardinalis, devoti et seraphici sacre theologie professoris eximij feliciter incipit". The present collection of sermons was ascribed to the very popular S. Bonaventura who lived in the 13th century, but they were actually written by Servasanctus Faventinus, one of Bonaventura's contemporaries. The present work is one of the first printed dated books published at Zwolle, printed at the first press in the city. In the earliest printing period at Zwolle two types were used, called Zwolle type 1 and Zwolle type 2 by Hellinga, or also De Vollenhoe type as one publication printed in the Zwolle type 2 mentions in the colophon the name of Johannes de Vollenhoe. The present incunable, which was always ascribed to Pieter van Os, is now ascribed to Johannes de Vollenhoe, since it is printed in the Zwolle type 2. Only very little is known about De Vollenhoe, it is possible that he was working for a financial syndicate. It was shown by the Hellinga's that Van Os van Breda was connected with De Vollenhoe's press from 1479. The printing is of a fine quality, suggesting that experienced workmen used to handle the press. The book is well produced, and printed in Gothic type in two columns, with 39 lines to a page. All initials are supplied in red and the book is nicely rubricated throughout. An extra folio leaf is bound in at the beginning of our copy, with manuscript notes in Latin, in an old hand, and some ms. notes are also present in the margins of the book.

GRATIANUS ( DE CLUSIO).
Decretum. (Incipit concordia discordantium canonum).
Venetiis, Johannis Colonie agrippinensis & Johannisqz Manthe, 1479. Loose incunable leaf, large folio (29 x 42,5 cm) in portfolio. With the Glossa ordinaria of Bartholomaeus Brixiensis. Edited by Petrus Albinianus Trecius. Leaf e6 (unsigned) of the Venetian impression by Johann von Köln and Johann Manthen. Probably not printed on December 11th 1479 as stated, but (according to Goff) January 3d 1480. Beautifully printed (like a manuscript) in black and red. Rubricated in red and blue and with red and blue lombards. Text 2 columns, 57 (recto and verso) lines. Commentary 2 columns, 73 lines. Many two-line initials and one four-line initial in red. Gratian, the father of systematic study of canon law, lived in the 12th century at Bologna, the medieval centre of civil and canon law. He was born in the late 11th century in Central Italy and died before 1159. He initiated a new branch of learning, the study of church law as a discipline distinct from theology. His compilation, the Concordantia discordantium canonum ( later called the Decretum) tried to reconcile earlier contradictory canons by scholastic methods. The Decretum (supplemented with later commentaries) remained the basis of the Corpus Iuris Canonici (the Corpus of Canon Law of the Roman Catholic Church) throughout the next centuries. It was only with the codification of 1917 that it was set out of use. Lower margin with stains and a small hole (2 letters) repaired, but otherwise a well kept and very nice example of a fine Venetian incunable. [Bookseller: Zaal Books]

Legatura moderna in tela ad imitazione del cuoio con la scritta OPUSC. in oro al dorso. ESEMPLARE BELLISSIMO SU CARTA FORTE E A GRANDI MARGINI. Bellissima edizione di questo opuscolo splendidamente stampata con eleganti caratteri romani classificati come 5:99/100R dal Typenrepertorium). Venne scritto quasi certamente da Jacobus de Gruytrode, anche se esistono attribuzioni a Dionysius Carthusiensis (1402-1471) and Jacobus de Clusa (Jakob von Jueterbogk, 1381-1465). Jacobus de Gruytrude, originario di Gruitrode (oggi in Belgio), fu un teologo che fece parte inizialmente dellordine cistercense per poi passare al piu' rigido ordine certosino specializzato nelle tecniche meditative) ad Erfurt, citta' in cui mori' verso il 1472. Lattribuzione dellanno di stampa di questa opera e' controversa. Si sa che Ulrich Gering, Martin Crantz e Michael Friburger vennero invitati nel 1469 a Parigi da Johann Heynlin and Guillaume Fichet. Assieme fondarono la prima tipografia della citta': nel corso di tre anni (dal 1470 al 1472) stamparono circa 22 opere. Alla fine del 1477 (dopo aver stampato circa 50 titoli) la societa' venne sciolta. Ulrich Gering rimase solo per due anni e mezzo dopo di che si associ= a Guillaume Magniel (o Guillermus Maynyal). La presente opera potrebbe essere stata stampata proprio negli anni 1478-1480, quando il Gering apparentemente operava da solo. Se questo e' vero, per=, non si capisce per quale motivo la nuova societa' (Gering e Maynyal) stampera' gia' nel 1480 una nuova edizione dello Speculum Il libro e' diviso in sette capitoli, uno per ogni giorno della settimana, e tratta dei vizi e dei peccati, esaltando una vita di pentimenti e la gioia del paradiso. I titoli dei vari capitoli sono sufficientemente esaustivi per capirne il contenuto. Qualche esempio: De vilitate et miseria hominis, De contemptu et odio mundi, De falsa mundi gloria, potentia, et dignitate, et caducis eius divitiis contemnendis.

JUSTINUS.
Justini historici clarissimi in Trogi Pompeji historias exordium Venice, Filippo di Pietro, 12 Dec 1479. [bound with:]GELLIUS, Aulus. Noctium Atticarum comentarii Venice, Bernardus de Choris, de Cremona and Simone de Leuro, 13 Aug. 1489.
2 works in one. Folio. [110] unnumbered leaves, i: a-c8, d6, e-2l8, m6, n10. ii: ff. [v] 131 [i] (blank). Roman letter. Capital spaces and guide letters. Very occasional marginal thumbmark, single round wormhole to final gatherings of second work, these also a bit age browned. A well-margined, clean, very good copy on thick paper in contemporary Venetian maroon morocco over thick wooden boards, covers with elegant and intricate knotwork tools within a double frame of knotwork rolltools, and triple fillets, spine in 4 compartments hatched in blind. A very elegant binding, lacking central bosses and 4 ties (original 8 star head studs present on upper cover, missing on lower), a few small wormholes to covers, spine neatly repaired in places at head, foot and joints, generally very good. Occasional early marginalia in a neat and attractive humanist hand. A very clean and wide-margined copy of two Venetian incunables in a strictly contemporary and very attractive Renaissance binding. Justinus was a second century Roman historian. This, his most notable work, he describes as a collection of the most interesting and important passages from Pompeius Trogus' 'Historiae philippicae et totius mundi origina et terrae situs', written in the time of Augustus and now lost. This was a general history of those parts of the world that had come under the auspices of Alexander the Great, and takes as its main theme the Macedonian Empire founded by his father Philip. The last event it records (in Justinius' version) is in 20 B.C. Through his frequent digressions, Justinus here produces not an epitome but rather a useful and sometimes elegant anthology based on the work. It was very popular in the Middle Ages, when the author was frequently confused with Justin Martyr. The Noctes Atticae consists of a miscellaneous anthology on various topics, including philosophy, law, literature, grammar, and history. Gellius (c. 125 - c. 180) wrote the book for the education of his children during his winter nights in Attica, and the work proved very popular into and throughout the M
