Rothschild Miscellany (Fine Facsimile Edition of Illuminated 15th Century Manuscript)
|
Facsimile Editions. New The most lavish of all Hebrew manuscripts. 948 pages containing 70 religious and secular works including the Passover Haggadah and Siddur. 816 illuminated pages and miniatures illustrate in exquisite detail almost every custom of Jewish life. Executed in northern Italy in 1479. A strictly limited facsimile edition of 550 numbered copies. Size 21cm x 15.6cm x 10.2cm (8.25" x 6.125" x 4") approximately (page sizes vary slightly). 948 Pages, 474 folios numbered 0-473. 816 illuminated pages with raised burnished gold, flat gold, powdered gold, silver and brilliant delicate colours. 160gsm, uncoated, neutral pH paper. A paper mill in Italy took more than a year to make a paper that accurately reproduces the opacity, texture and thickness of the manuscript's vellum and has been widely acclaimed as the closest likeness to vellum ever achieved. The paper was developed exclusively for this facsimile. David Harris the renowned Israeli photographer, photographed the manuscript at the Israel museum in Jerusalem using large-format Ektachrome film in order to capture the finest details. In order to completely eliminate any curvature close to the spine the manuscript was disbound prior to photography so that it could be photographed flat. Specially manufactured glass which is both 'optically flat' and 'optically white' was used to hold the manuscript flat during photography. The printed page is, therefore, exactly the same size as the original. Offset lithography in up to twelve colours. The three different types of gold found in the manuscript have all been faithfully copied in the facsimile. The raised burnished gold of the original has been reproduced by applying the metal leaf to a specially built up area (replicating the original gesso) exactly where the leaf is raised in the original manuscript. Flat gold was reproduced by applying a metal leaf by hand. Gold powder was applied to all the illuminations that contain it in the original. Silver metal leaf was applied by hand

Bible-Latin-Incunable Leaf
[Biblia Latina] Maccabees
|
[Adolph Rusch for Anton Koberger, ], [c1479. ]. Folio. 468 x 325 mm. Single leaf. Double column, rubricated, slight wear at top. This leaf is from the Biblia Latina printed by Adolph Rusch in Strasburg for Anton Koberger about the year 1479, it having ben completed soon after September 1481. It is the only book that can be ascribed definitely to Rusch, the son-in-law and partner of Johann Mentelin. Rusch is commonly referred to as the R-printer from the peculiar R in the otherwise regular roman used by him in 1464. That type is thought to be the earliest roman letter cast--earlier even than that first used by Sweynheym & Pannartz at Subiaco. This Bible is in the Gothic which he obtained from Johann Amerbach. Ernest Voullieme, in his work, 'German Printers of the Fifteenth Century" characterizes it as a masterpiece of typography "by reason of its compass, its intricacy of the composition, and the delicacy of the presswork.

Das Lorscher Evangeliar. Faksimile der karolingischen Handschrift in den Bibliotheke von Alba Julia und des Vatikans.
|
- »Das Lorscher Evangeliar ist eine prachtvoll ausgestattete, ganz in Goldtinte geschriebene Evangelienhandschrift, die nach derzeitigem Forschungsstand als jüngste einer bedeutsamen Reihe von Prachthandschriften aus dem Hofskriptorium Karls des Großen gilt und allgemein um das Jahr 810 datiert wird. Es vereint nahezu alle stilistischen Einflüsse, die auf die karolingische Kunst eingewirkt haben. Somit gehört das Lorscher Evangeliar zu den bedeutendsten Manuskripten des abendländischen Frühmittelalters. Schon die reich dekorierten Textspalten einer jeden Seite, geschrieben in einer feierlich anmutenden Uncialis, sind an sich sehr bemerkenswert; bedeutsam ist der Codex aber vor allem wegen seiner ganzseitigen Illustrationen: der wundervollen Kanontafeln, der vier Evangelistenbilder, der Initialseiten zu den vier Evangelien und - zu Beginn des Matthäusevangeliums - auch der einander gegenüberstehenden Purpurseiten. Vermutlich kam die kostbare Handschrift unter Abt Adalung (804 - 837) vom Hof Karls des Großen oder Ludwigs des Frommen nach Lorsch, wo sie erstmals in einem um 860 zu datierenden Katalog der Klosterbibliothek des neunten Jahrhunderts als illustriertes Evangeliar, mit Gold geschrieben und mit elfenbeinernen Einbanddeckeln als erstes der liturgischen Bücher im Besitz des Klosterheiligen Nazarius genannt wird. In Lorsch, der großen Königs- und Reichsabtei, hat dann die Handschrift auch die Jahrhunderte überstanden - auch den schrecklichen Klosterbrand von 1090. Im Jahre 1479 wurde sie unter dem Prämonstratenserpropst Eberhard von Wasen neu gebunden - der Eintrag des Buchbinders ist der letzte Nachweis für das Vorhandensein der kostbaren Handschrift in Lorsch.« (Hermann Schefers) 36,8 x 26,8 cm, 473 Seiten, 473 ganzseitige, randlose Reproduktionen, davon 54 in sechsfarbigem Buchdruck mit Silber und Gold, die übrigen in zweifarbigem Offsetdruck, Halbleder gebunden [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Muller, Historieplaten 1479. Popular allegorical print on the failed attempt to assasinate Prince Maurits of Orange in 1623. In revenge for the execution of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt in 1619, two of his sons, Reynier and Willem, conspired to assassinate Prince Maurits. They were helped by other prominent members of Dutch society who had a political, religious or personal grudge against the Prince. However, the seamen who had been hired to execute the plan told the authorities about the plot. The conspirators were arrested and executed.The portraits of the conspirators, who were all Arminians, are displayed on a decapitated snake. The body of the dead snake encircles two trees, the felled tree of Arminianism, with Deceit cleaving to its trunk, and the Orange tree flanked by Religion and Justice and protected by divine light. At the left in the picture, the heads of the conspirators are displayed on pikes around the gallows. Below the illustration is a poem in three columns.

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). Ottimo esemplare (ex collezione Martini), malgrado la mancanza iniziale. IGI 8212. Goff P1109. Brunet IV, 967. Gamba 1140. Dionisotti, Leonardo uomo di lettere, pp.21-50: "Nell'elenco di libri di Leonardo del codice Atlantico e' compreso il Driadeo".

Vero monumento tipografico, di Nicolaus Jenson che fu il secondo tipografo a praticare tale arte a Venezia, dal 1470, un anno dopo Johann von Speier. Raccolta di leggi papali che il grande Papa Gregorio IX (Ugolino dei conti di Segni, nato ad Anagni intorno al 1148, morto nel 1241) aveva pensato di far redigere fin dai primi anni del suo pontificato, quale "rinvigorimento dell'autorita' pontificia e del suo influsso", tanto piu' necessario dopo la promulgazione delle Costituzioni di Melfi da parte di Federico II di Sicilia (cfr. Encicl. Catt. VI, 1136). Rara edizione di classica opera, apparsa per la prima volta con il commento a Strasburgo nel 1470-72.

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 ci˜ 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 pi antiche, ed quindi uno dei pi eccezionali documenti storici sul cristianesimo. Il libro I una dettagliata introduzione su Ges 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).

Vero monumento tipografico, di Nicolaus Jenson che fu il secondo tipografo a praticare tale arte a Venezia, dal 1470, un anno dopo Johann von Speier. Raccolta di leggi papali che il grande Papa Gregorio IX (Ugolino dei conti di Segni, nato ad Anagni intorno al 1148, morto nel 1241) aveva pensato di far redigere fin dai primi anni del suo pontificato, quale "rinvigorimento dell'autorità pontificia e del suo influsso", tanto più necessario dopo la promulgazione delle Costituzioni di Melfi da parte di Federico II di Sicilia (cfr. Encicl. Catt. VI, 1136). Rara edizione di classica opera, apparsa per la prima volta con il commento a Strasburgo nel 1470-72.

BONAVENTURA.
One of the earliest books printed in Zwolle 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. Good, but rather used copy, with ample margins.- (Binding rubbed and sl. dam., sl. loosening in spine; the 4 blanks lacking; waterst.).

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 rarità 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 è 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 trasformò 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 più noto Luigi, che probabilmente lo aiutò a stilare il Driadeo. "La comica vicenda narrata da Severe nel secondo libro del Driadeo è il celebre Anfitrione di Plauto. Il testo plautino, com’è noto, conobbe un’ininterrotta 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). Ottimo esemplare (ex collezione Martini), malgrado la mancanza iniziale. IGI 8212. Goff P1109. Brunet IV, 967. Gamba 1140. Dionisotti, Leonardo uomo di lettere, pp.21-50: "Nell'elenco di libri di Leonardo del codice Atlantico è compreso il Driadeo".

Facsimile Editions. New The most lavish of all Hebrew manuscripts. 948 pages containing 70 religious and secular works including the Passover Haggadah and Siddur. 816 illuminated pages and miniatures illustrate in exquisite detail almost every custom of Jewish life. Executed in northern Italy in 1479. A strictly limited facsimile edition of 550 numbered copies. Size 21cm x 15.6cm x 10.2cm (8.25" x 6.125" x 4") approximately (page sizes vary slightly). 948 Pages, 474 folios numbered 0-473. 816 illuminated pages with raised burnished gold, flat gold, powdered gold, silver and brilliant delicate colours. 160gsm, uncoated, neutral pH paper. A paper mill in Italy took more than a year to make a paper that accurately reproduces the opacity, texture and thickness of the manuscript's vellum and has been widely acclaimed as the closest likeness to vellum ever achieved. The paper was developed exclusively for this facsimile. David Harris the renowned Israeli photographer, photographed the manuscript at the Israel museum in Jerusalem using large-format Ektachrome film in order to capture the finest details. In order to completely eliminate any curvature close to the spine the manuscript was disbound prior to photography so that it could be photographed flat. Specially manufactured glass which is both 'optically flat' and 'optically white' was used to hold the manuscript flat during photography. The printed page is, therefore, exactly the same size as the original. Offset lithography in up to twelve colours. The three different types of gold found in the manuscript have all been faithfully copied in the facsimile. The raised burnished gold of the original has been reproduced by applying the metal leaf to a specially built up area (replicating the original gesso) exactly where the leaf is raised in the original manuscript. Flat gold was reproduced by applying a metal leaf by hand. Gold powder was applied to all the illuminations that contain it in the original. Silver metal leaf was applied by...

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.

L.xxxix (ma in realtà 1479). [unito con:] ASTESANO DA ASTI. Canones poenitentiales extracti de verbo ad verbu(m) de summa fratris Astensis. [unito con:] NIEVO, ALESSANDRO. Consilia Alexandri de Nevo contra Judaeos fenerantes. [al colophon:] Datu[m] Rome. 17. nove[m]bris. M.cccc.xli. [Venezia, Leonardo Wild, 1479]. 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. Carattere gotico, 48 linee. Registro: a-g12, h-t8-12, v8, 18, 212, 3-48, 512, 6-138-12, A12, B10, a8, b10. UNA GRANDE INIZIALE ROSSA Q (65 x 38 mm), con estensioni in verde pallido. 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.

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).

Eusebius Caesariensis
HISTORIA ECCLESIASTICA. [Translated by Rufinus].
|
Johann Schall. July 1479, Mantua - 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 ìreferencesî in an early hand. Front pastedown with a small leather bookplate of Eduardo J. Bullrich; and a paper bookplate reading, ìFrancisci Caesaris Augusti Munificentia.îSmall 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 printerís name; and the first book to have printed catchwords on each page. ìThe 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.î Thomas Frognall Dibdin. Goff E127; BMC VII 933; HC 6711. Hain Copinger 6711.

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.

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. Carattere gotico, 48 linee. Registro: a-g12, h-t8-12, v8, 18, 212, 3-48, 512, 6-138-12, A12, B10, a8, b10. UNA GRANDE INIZIALE ROSSA Q (65 x 38 mm), con estensioni in verde pallido. 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 Nicolo' 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 e' quello riguardante l'ebbrezza: da non considerarsi peccato se imputabile ad un vino di scarsa qualita', colpa veniale se conseguente a un'occasione conviviale e, infine, peccato mortale se la volonta' di ubriacarsi e' 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.

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.

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). Ottimo esemplare (ex collezione Martini), malgrado la mancanza iniziale. IGI 8212. Goff P1109. Brunet IV, 967. Gamba 1140. Dionisotti, Leonardo uomo di lettere, pp.21-50: "Nell'elencoo di libri di Leonardo del codice Atlantico e' compreso il Driadeo".

ROTHSCHILD MISCELLANY (Fine Facsimile Edition of Illuminated 15th Century Manuscript)
|
Facsimile Editions. The most lavish of all Hebrew manuscripts. 948 pages containing 70 religious and secular works including the Passover Haggadah and Siddur. 816 illuminated pages and miniatures illustrate in exquisite detail almost every custom of Jewish life. Executed in northern Italy in 1479. A strictly limited facsimile edition of 550 numbered copies. Size 21cm x 15.6cm x 10.2cm (8.25" x 6.125" x 4") approximately (page sizes vary slightly). 948 Pages, 474 folios numbered 0-473. 816 illuminated pages with raised burnished gold, flat gold, powdered gold, silver and brilliant delicate colours. 160gsm, uncoated, neutral pH paper. A paper mill in Italy took more than a year to make a paper that accurately reproduces the opacity, texture and thickness of the manuscript's vellum and has been widely acclaimed as the closest likeness to vellum ever achieved. The paper was developed exclusively for this facsimile. David Harris the renowned Israeli photographer, photographed the manuscript at the Israel museum in Jerusalem using large-format Ektachrome film in order to capture the finest details. In order to completely eliminate any curvature close to the spine the manuscript was disbound prior to photography so that it could be photographed flat. Specially manufactured glass which is both 'optically flat' and 'optically white' was used to hold the manuscript flat during photography. The printed page is, therefore, exactly the same size as the original. Offset lithography in up to twelve colours. The three different types of gold found in the manuscript have all been faithfully copied in the facsimile. The raised burnished gold of the original has been reproduced by applying the metal leaf to a specially built up area (replicating the original gesso) exactly where the leaf is raised in the original manuscript. Flat gold was reproduced by applying a metal leaf by hand. Gold powder was applied to all the illuminations that contain it in the original. Silver metal leaf was applied by hand wherever it appeared in the original. Wherever the silver had oxidised, a darker leaf and special varnish was used to accurately portray the oxidisation. The scribe's pricking holes on either side of each folio were reproduced for the first time ever in a facsimile. Once printed each page was cut to the exact size and shape of the original and then aged at the edges. No previously published facsimile has achieved this level of precision and accuracy. Fine morocco goatskin, blind-tooled on both covers and the spine. The book block is sewn over hand-made head and tail bands. Four oxidised sterling silver clasps are attached by leather thongs to silver catch plates which are themselves attached by tiny silver nails. 256 pages (46 in colour) printed on mould-made cold-pressed Magnani 160gsm paper. The commentary volume is bound in blind-tooled morocco goatskin and presented in a cloth covered slip-case to compliment the facsimile. The facsimile and commentary are individually housed in hand made slip-cases. The slip case for the facsimile has been specially constructed to accommodate the clasps. Each facsimile can be personally dedicated at no extra charge. Whether the facsimile is intended as a gift to an institution or a private individual, our calligrapher can inscribe a beautiful illuminated gift certificate with an appropriate inscription. Strictly limited to 500 numbered and 50 Ad Personam copies. Each volume. Discreetly numbered by hand on the inside back cover using minute steel dies, is accompanied by a numbered and signed certificate carrying the seal of the Israel Museum. On completion of the edition the printing plates were destroyed to protect the significant investment value of each facsimile. Price includes robust protective packaging, worldwide courier delivery and insurance. Courier service, usually by UPS. International overnight service usually available at no extra charge. If you would like to have your copy dedicated, please supply us with the inscription separately upon placing your order. Our Promise to You: ALL OUR DUST JACKETS COME WITH CLEAR BRODART PROTECTIVE COVERS. (Please read listing to determine if this book comes with a dust jacket.)

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.

Nider is lightly and evenly toned. Early marginalia throughout.A fine copy with wide margins. Both works are rubricated with Lombard initials and paragraph marks. Peraldus: 34 lines. Types. I:102G; 2:150G. Over 6,500 medieval treatises on the virtues and vices were listed by M.W. Bloomfield and his collaborators in 1979 (Incipits of Latin Works on the Virtues and Vices). The present text by the Lyon Dominican, Gullielmus Peraldus, or Guillaume PAErault, is probably the most famous and influential of them all. The authors learning and sources were enormous, including many of the classical Stoics, such as Cicero, Seneca and Macrobius. The text was circulated widely and was used by Dante, Chaucer and many other writers. Gerson is said to have remarked that if all the books in the world were suddenly to disappear and only the Summa of Peraldus were to survive, the loss would be tolerable. Guillaume Peyraut (Guillelmus Peraldus, ca. 1200-1271?), a Dominican preacher from Lyon, composed the 'Summa de virtutibus' as a counterpart of his 'Summa de vitiis' (ca. 1236); by 1250 both summae often circulated together, so that they are sometimes mentioned as a single work, by medieval readers as well as by modern bibliographers. It is important to note that the 'Summa de virtutibus' is not a specimen of speculative theology or philosophy. There are few references to Aristotle or other Greek philosophers; Peraldus rather uses the Latin Stoics (Cicero, Seneca, Macrobius) and otherwise clings to the Christian tradition, from the Bible and patristic writings to Bernard of Clairvaux. One may characterise his summae as compendia for preachers and confessors, adapted to their instructional needs and emphasising more the concrete actions of common believers than human psychology or morality in general. Their rhetoric and structure suit these pragmatic needs: the works include a large amount of illustrative material (quotations, anecdotes, exempla), which were to facilitate the moral instruction of the congregation from the pulpit. Moreover, rubrics were introduced into the text to stimulate the use of the summae as works of reference. The influence of the 'Summa de virtutibus' can hardly be overestimated. The work has been preserved in over 300 manuscripts (against 500 for the 'Summa de vitiis'), many of these originating in Dominican and Franciscan environments, and a few dozen early printed editions. For many Latin and vernacular treatises dealing with the virtues, the 'Summa' has functioned as a leading or exclusive model (which has caused many of these works to be mistakenly attributed to Peraldus). Moreover, several shorter versions of the work have been composed, some of which have been diffused in considerable numbers in their turn; some chapters have been transmitted as separate writings.E"John Nider, Theologian, b. 1380 in Swabia; d. 13 August, 1438, at Colmar. He entered the Order of Preachers at Colmar and after profession was sent to Vienna for his philosophical studies, which he finished at Cologne where he was ordained.

Graesse II, p. 206; Pegg, German Reformation Pamphlets in Libraries of Great Britain and Ireland 682; Schmidt, Rep. bibl. strasbourgeois I, 200; VD 16, C-4319 (at least 3 copies); not in Adams; BMC STC French; NUC. 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.

Facsimile Editions. New. Hardcover. The most lavish of all Hebrew manuscripts. 948 pages containing 70 religious and secular works including the Passover Haggadah and Siddur. 816 illuminated pages and miniatures illustrate in exquisite detail almost every custom of Jewish life. Executed in northern Italy in 1479. A strictly limited facsimile edition of 550 numbered copies. Size 21cm x 15.6cm x 10.2cm (8.25" x 6.125" x 4") approximately (page sizes vary slightly). 948 Pages, 474 folios numbered 0-473. 816 illuminated pages with raised burnished gold, flat gold, powdered gold, silver and brilliant delicate colours. 160gsm, uncoated, neutral pH paper. A paper mill in Italy took more than a year to make a paper that accurately reproduces the opacity, texture and thickness of the manuscript's vellum and has been widely acclaimed as the closest likeness to vellum ever achieved. The paper was developed exclusively for this facsimile. David Harris the renowned Israeli photographer, photographed the manuscript at the Israel museum in Jerusalem using large-format Ektachrome film in order to capture the finest details. In order to completely eliminate any curvature close to the spine the manuscript was disbound prior to photography so that it could be photographed flat. Specially manufactured glass which is both 'optically flat' and 'optically white' was used to hold the manuscript flat during photography. The printed page is, therefore, exactly the same size as the original. Offset lithography in up to twelve colours. The three different types of gold found in the manuscript have all been faithfully copied in the facsimile. The raised burnished gold of the original has been reproduced by applying the metal leaf to a specially built up area (replicating the original gesso) exactly where the leaf is raised in the original manuscript. Flat gold was reproduced by applying a metal leaf by hand. Gold powder was applied to all the illuminations that contain it in the original. Silver metal leaf was applied by hand wherever it appeared in the original. Wherever the silver had oxidised, a darker leaf and special varnish was used to accurately portray the oxidisation. The scribe's pricking holes on either side of each folio were reproduced for the first time ever in a facsimile. Once printed each page was cut to the exact size and shape of the original and then aged at the edges. No previously published facsimile has achieved this level of precision and accuracy. Fine morocco goatskin, blind-tooled on both covers and the spine. The book block is sewn over hand-made head and tail bands. Four oxidised sterling silver clasps are attached by leather thongs to silver catch plates which are themselves attached by tiny silver nails. 256 pages (46 in colour) printed on mould-made cold-pressed Magnani 160gsm paper. The commentary volume is bound in blind-tooled morocco goatskin and presented in a cloth covered slip-case to compliment the facsimile. The facsimile and commentary are individually housed in hand made slip-cases. The slip case for the facsimile has been specially constructed to accommodate the clasps. Each facsimile can be personally dedicated at no extra charge. Whether the facsimile is intended as a gift to an institution or a private individual, our calligrapher can inscribe a beautiful illuminated gift certificate with an appropriate inscription. Strictly limited to 500 numbered and 50 Ad Personam copies. Each volume. Discreetly numbered by hand on the inside back cover using minute steel dies, is accompanied by a numbered and signed certificate carrying the seal of the Israel Museum. On completion of the edition the printing plates were destroyed to protect the significant investment value of each facsimile. Price includes robust protective packaging, worldwide courier delivery and insurance. Courier service, usually by UPS. International overnight service usually available at no extra charge. If you would like to have your copy dedicated, please supply us with the inscription separately upon placing your order. ; 8.25"x6.125"x4"; 948 pages .

(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.

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.

Prima edizione di mitica rarità 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 è 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 trasformò 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 più noto Luigi, che probabilmente lo aiutò a stilare il Driadeo. "La comica vicenda narrata da Severe nel secondo libro del Driadeo è il celebre Anfitrione di Plauto. Il testo plautino, com’è noto, conobbe un’ininterrotta 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).

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.

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).

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). Ottimo esemplare (ex collezione Martini), malgrado la mancanza iniziale. IGI 8212. Goff P1109. Brunet IV, 967. Gamba 1140. Dionisotti, Leonardo uomo di lettere, pp.21-50: "Nell'elencoo di libri di Leonardo del codice Atlantico e' compreso il Driadeo".

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.
