| Nuova Raccolta Colombiana. 10 Bände. Englische Ausgabe.
|
. Die außerordentlich aufwendig gearbeitete Prachtausgabe, die sich mit den Reisen und großartigen Eroberungen des wohl bekanntesten aller Seefahrer beschäftigt, macht den Leser zum Zeitzeugen. Sie erschien zum Gedenken an den 500. Jahrestag der Entdeckung Amerikas durch Christopher Columbus und enthält unter anderem das Bordbuch Columbus', welches er höchstpersönlich auf der ersten seiner vier Reisen verfasst hat, um der Nachwelt anhand von Protokollen und Berichten eine detailgenaue historische und geographische Rekonstruktion seiner Reisen zu ermöglichen. Weitere Schriften von Columbus' Zeitgenossen, Dokumentationen und Briefe zu Columbus' zweiter, dritter und vierter Reise öffnen dem Leser die risikoreiche und unbeständige Welt eines Seefahrers im 15. Jahrhundert. Zur Ergänzung bietet der "Columbian Atlas of the Great Discovery" die kartographischen und geographischen Daten für eine adäquate und wissenschaftliche Repräsentation der Reisen und Eroberungen. Der Band "Historie Concerning the Life and Deeds of the Admiral D. Christopher Columbus" vervollkommnet die wohl umfassendste Studie zu Columbus' Reisen. Er gilt als einer der wichtigsten Beiträge zu den ältesten Darstellungen über die Entdeckung der Neuen Welt und ist bis heute die maßgebende Quelle für die Nachbildung Columbus' Lebens und den intellektuellen und politischen Kontext, in dem Columbus' Idee von der Entdeckung der Neuen Welt entstanden ist. Neue Dokumente über Columbus' Epoche mit neuen Ergebnissen aus der Forschung über Columbus' Leben und Werk ergänzen rückblickend die Berichte der Zeitzeugen. Die "Nuova Raccolta Colombiana" ist das derzeit umfassendste Werk, das eine präzise Konzeption der Entdeckungen des großen Seefahrers und Entdeckers und dessen persönlicher Vorstellung von den Zeitereignissen und den abenteuerlichen Lebensumständen auf seinen Schiffen bietet. Die Luxusausgabe wurde auf speziellem Papier gedruckt und ist in einem aufwendigen Verfahren mit Portraits in Form von Wasserzeichen ausgestattet worden. Die Bände I, II, III, IV und VI befinden sich in einer Halbleinenkassette. 30 x 21 cm, 4593 S., zahlr. Farbabb., z.T. ausklappbar, geb. Früher 1480,00 EUR jetzt nur noch.

Varro, M Terentius

| De Lingua Latina
|
Parma, [printer of the Jerome, Epistolae], 11th December 1480. Folio, ff. (iv) 46. Roman letter, a little Greek, guide letters, spaces blank. Extensive early marginalia in at least two early hands (one contemp) throughout, final blank page filled with annotations in Italian (c.1600); uniform light age browning, waterstains to edges of some ll., mostly marginal but slightly affecting the text in places, ancient marginal ink splashes to a couple of ll. A very interesting, not unattractive and well margined copy, if well used at an early date. In modern vellum over boards. A rare edition from an almost equally rare press; the identity of the printer is unknown, the style of his Greek type may indicate he came from Venice; the total known output of the press is only six titles, however the layout and typeface are handsome and accomplished. An early edition of Varro's pioneering work on Latin grammar (including inflexion and syntax) or more accurately of books V to X (of 25) which are all that have come down to us. It was regarded as a work of considerable importance by no lesser authorities than Cicero (the dedicatee), Quintilian and St Augustine, who wonders at the author's learning in the De Civ. Dei, book VI; the text was edited for the press by Pompinius Laetus and Francisus Rolandellus and first printed in that form by an unknown press in Venice in 1478. It has a comprehensive index. “Varro's treatise is the earliest extant Roman work on grammar. This great work, which was finished before Cicero's death in 43 BC, owes much to the stoic teaching of Aelius Stilo, and also to that of a later grammarian who combined the Stoic and Alexandrian traditions. The first three of the surviving books are on Etymology, book V being on names of places, VI on terms denoting time and VII on poetic expressions. To ourselves the value of these books lies in their citations from the Latin poets, and not in their marvellous etymologies. The next three books are concerned with the controversy on Analogy and Anomaly: VIII on the arguments against...

GREGORIUS MAGNUS
|
|
| MORALIA SIVE EXPOSITIO IN IOB In Fine: Expletum est opus istud Moralium beati Gregorij pape diligentissime correctum et emendatum per dictum Bartholomeum Cremonensem canonicum regularem. Impressum Venetijs per Reynaldum de Novimagio Leoteutonicum.
|
Reynaldum de Novimagio, Venezia 1480 - 1 foglio bb (non coevo), 15 ff nn, 2 ff bb, 330 ff nn, 1 foglio bb (non coevo). Esemplare completamente rubricato con inchiostro blu e rosso (nelle carte preliminari e nel registro si fa uso anche del giallo). Nel testo, 38 capilettera calligrafati (con inchiostro blu, rosso e viola) di cui uno, molto elaborato, su sedici righe e con estensioni lungo quasi tutto il margine interno. Nel margine inferiore della stessa pagina sono ritratti due angeli che sostengono una ghirlanda al centro della quale è disegnata una "M"circondata da tre stelle. Nel margine alto un uccellino ed un angelo che sta per scoccare una freccia col suo arco. Testo stampato su due colonne, 55 linee per pagina. Legatura in piena pergamena posteriore con titolo in oro su tassello in pelle incollato al dorso. Capitello superiore rotto. Pagina preliminare con lacuna risarcita e perdita di alcune lettere ed un'altra con rifacimento del margine bianco inferiore (restauri magistralmente eseguiti). Presenza di un foro (puntiforme) di tarlo ad alcune carte che, occasionalmente, intacca una lettera o due. Qualche carta con segni di foxing e rarissime piccole (e di lieve entità) macchie di umidità che non affaticano minimamente la lettura. Si segnalano delle chiose (di due mani diverse) ai margini delle prime carte ed insignificanti restauri marginali. Nel complesso, esemplare molto bello. Una delle prime edizioni di questo celebre commento al libro di Giobbe. La Editio Princeps venne stampata a Basilea per i tipi di Berthold Ruppel verso il 1465 (ma non dopo il 1568). Gregorio nacque verso il 540 da una famiglia agiata, Anicia, una delle più importanti di Roma. Fu un ammiratore di S. Benedetto tanto che, alla morte del padre, trasformò parte dei suoi possedimenti in Sicilia e perfino il suo palazzo al Celio in altrettanti monasteri. In quest'ultimo entrò come monaco, ma vi poté restare per poco tempo in quanto divenne presto diacono di uno dei quartieri della città. Il papa Pelagio II lo inviò poi a Costantinopoli, come nunzio apostolico, dove vi rimase per sei anni. Fu proprio durante questa permanenza che Gregorio redasse i "Moralia sive expositio in Iob". Tornato a Roma nel suo monastero, dovette nuovamente abbandonarlo in quanto, alla morte di Pelagio II, venne eletto papa. Con questa importante carica collezionò un numero formidabile di successi in tutti i campi (sociale, politico, sanitario, religioso, ecc.) dimostrando qualità uniche, al punto che ancora oggi lo si considera un modello insuperato di saggezza, giustizia e di tolleranza. Quest'opera, commentata da Bartolomeo da Cremona e con le aggiunte di Domenico de' Domenici, è considerata la più importante di Gregorio Magno. Essa rese all'autore immenso prestigio sia come guida spirituale che come autorità religiosa. Giobbe viene preso come esempio di uomo virtuoso che resta giusto di fronte a tutte le prove e tentazioni a cui è sottoposto l'uomo. Nei "Moralia" Gregorio suggerisce inoltre la via della santità per poter arrivare a Dio mediante la vita attiva e la vita contemplativa e considera la vita monastica come l'apice della perfezione cristiana. Questo commento sarà utilizzato per molti dei secoli successivi per l'educazione sia morale che spirituale: una vera e propria guida a disposizione del cristiano. Reynaldus de Novimagio (Rainald von Nimwegen), stabilì la sua stamperia a Venezia nel 1477. Viene ricordato per i suoi eleganti caratteri gotici che, in questa edizione, sono esemplificati ai massimi livelli. L'aggiunta delle bellissime iniziali calligrafate da mano esperta rende questo volume, nonostante i difetti sopra menzionati, veramente affascinante. Una curiosità: Reynaldus de Novimagio fu il quarto marito di Paola da Messina. Due di questi (il secondo ed il terzo) furono, rispettivamente, Johannes de Spira e Johannes de Colonia, due stampatori molto celebri. Effettivamente, per rafforzare l'importanza della stamperia (così come in altri campi), era consuetudine a quei tempi stringere matrimoni [Attributes: In Dust Jacket]

A VERY SMALL MINIATURE PAINTING ON VELLUM OF ST. JAMES O...
|
|
|
|
Bruges, ca. 1480s 32 x 25 mm. (1 1/4 x 1""). Attractively matted. Recto WITH A BEAUTIFULLY PAINTED TINY MINIATURE OF ST. JAMES OF COMPOSTELA standing as a pilgrim in his voluminous white cloak against a green background a staff in his right hand a book in a loose envelope binding in his left and a wide-brimmed hat with a scallop shell on his head the whole within a simple gold frame (the entire scene measuring 32 x 26 mm.). IN VERY FINE CONDITION. This leaf is taken from a prayer book decorated in the style of the Master of the Dresden Prayer Book whose atelier was active in Bruges for about 20 years beginning in 1470. (After 1490 he worked in Tournai and then Amiens but returned to Bruges about 1505.) This master whose name derives from a Book of Hours in Dresden's Sächsische Landesbibliothek has traditionally been associated with very small yet detailed miniatures often decorating the calendar sections of manuscripts with jewel-like depictions of the labors of the months. Wieck says however that recently our master has been shown to be a most gifted and prolific artist; nearly 50 manuscripts and illuminated incunables have been attributed to him (Painted Prayers no. 72). The artist's real name seems to have been Didier de la Rivière who was a member of the guild of booksellers in Bruges. His style is Dutch and Flemish with particular connections to Utrecht and with landscapes reminiscent of those done by the Flemish painter Hugo van der Goes (d. 1482). Even in such a tiny work as the present miniature the master has been able to provide convincing detail as seen especially in the convincing folds of the cloak. The miniature is noteworthy also in that it pictures an important saint but one who does not appear with great regularity in Books of Hours. The apostle and martyr St. James of Compostela (or St. James the Great) was one of the three witnesses of Christ's Transfiguration as well as his agony in the garden of Gethsemane and he was the first apostle to die for the Christian faith losing his head to Herod Agrippa. He was traditionally thought to have been buried at Compostela his body having been transported from Palestine on a drifting boat. A cult of Santiago (i.e. St. James) de Compostela flourished from the 12th to the 15th century in part because James became identified as a powerful defender of the Christian faith against the Moors. The pilgrimage to Compostela became one of the most important in all of Medieval Christendom reaching such heights of popularity that it actually transformed the iconography of James into that of the archetypical pilgrim whom we see in the present miniature. $2500

Medieval Miniature from Latin Book of Hours on Vellum. By...
|
|
| Pieta - Lamentation (Descent from the Cross.)
|
Northern France: c1480. Single Leaf 83 x 153mm. Fine Medieval miniature on vellum from a Northern French Book of Hours highlighted in gold. Upper compartment of the recto has the Pieta & Cross; it shows the cross with two men on ladders with torture instruments (one ascending and one descending the cross). Two male witnesses stand in the rear looking on. Three saints surround the foreground figure of Mary holding the body of Christ (Pieta). In the distance are castleated towns on hills. The lower half is filled with a rich field of decorative vines in gold on a brown ground with finely colored grotesques: A bird, a monkey with a crossbow, and a figure riding a dragon holding its maw open. The text compartment is 9 lines in French Batarde Secretary script in gold ink with 6 initial letters in gold on blue background with white tracery. One initial is in gray on gold with decoration. The verso has 24 lines of batard text in brown and pink inks with 8 small decorated initials in gold and blue inks with white tracery and two with floral inserts; border on the right side in gold on brown ground filled with floral designs and a grotesque of a male figure and a monkey-like figure in each others arms, in colors. The Monkey Master, so called because of the use of a monkey figure in the drolleries was probably not one man but a workshop in Delft. The presence of the Cross and related figures is also indicative of a Flemish influence. Trimmed to margins, edges on rear with some races of old mounting paper. Small rubs but fine. On the "Monkey Master" see "The Golden Age of Dutch Manuscript Painting" New York: Brazillier, 1990 pp266; 277-8.

| Italian Drawings from the Sixteenth Century
|
Harvey Miller - Paintings, sculpture, and classical antiquities are the most valuable resources of any museum, and are the first objects to be published in each museum's own collection catalogue or online inventory. Collection catalogues, however, have customarily included only a small sample of the riches to be found in Midwestern collections of master drawings. This volume of sixteenth-century drawings has largely been the work of Burton L. Dunbar (University of Missouri-Kansas City), director of the project and a specialist in the arts of northern Europe, and Edward J. Olszewski (Case Western Reserve University), co-editor for the series, a well-known authority on drawings of the Italian Renaissance. This volume covers the sixteenth century, including, as a rule, artists born between 1480 and 1580, with the exception of Giovanni Baglione (ca. 1573-1644) and the Carracci. This study represents a gathering of drawings from forty institutions between Ohio and Oklahoma based on a census of seventy-five museums and art centers. Jacob Burckhardt's contention that the Renaissance was, in many respects, an age of paganism is readily belied here by the 471 Italian drawings, the great majority of which are religious subjects. Antiquity provided a veneer beneath which sixteenth century artists could cloak their Christianity to make it seem fresh, reminding believers of the origins of their faith, and reviving the purity of Christian doctrine in its early years. It is no surprise, then, to find numerous drawings of antiquities and mythologies among the many subjects. A corpus this large can be representative in many ways, offering a cross-section of media, subjects, drawing types, and collectors. Of the 471 Italian drawings scattered across Midwestern America, here we reassemble many that were at one time in one or more prominent collections. Every drawing was examined for the following information: Artist, place of birth and death with dates, biography, title of drawing, date of drawing, dimensions in mm (and in inches), media, institutional credit line, accession number, technical condition, inscriptions, collectors' marks, watermark, provenance, exhibitions, bibliography, comments. 661p, 572 b/w illus, 17 col illus.

Small quarto (7 7/8 x 5 3/8 inches; 200 x 135 mm.). 157 leaves, including an inserted preliminary leaf and two leaves which are ruled, but otherwise blank. Lacking a leaf after fol. 54, otherwise complete. Modern pencil foliation 1-156, including the preliminary leaf. Collation: i-ii6 iii5 (of 6, the last leaf cancelled) iv-vii8 viii8 (of 6, the fifth leaf missing) ix-xix8 xx4 xxi8. Vertical catchwords on the verso of the last leaf of most gatherings. Ruled in red for seventeen lines of text. Justification: 4 1/4 x 2 13/16 inches; 108 x 70 mm. Written in brown and dark brown ink in a regular formal gothic liturgical script, with rubrics in red, sometimes in French. Verse initials and line-fillers in gold in a ground of alternating colors: red, blue, red, brown, two-line initials in burnished gold edged with black, on a blue and red ground with white ornament, every page with a two-line initial with an illuminated border the height of the text, with semi-naturalistic foliate and floral ornament, and conventional acanthus, often on geometrically shaped panels such as zig-zags, chevrons, stripes, etc., on grounds of gold, colors, or the plain vellum. Four-line initials under most miniatures, in blue on a gold ground. One small miniature and fourteen large miniatures with full borders, often incorporating birds and sometimes other animals and grotesques.Sewn on five cords and bound in nineteenth-century green velvet over pasteboards. Covers decoratively stamped in blind with a foliate border and a central device incorporating a fleur-de-lis and a crown, all edges gilt and gauffered, pale green silk doublures, parchment flyleaves. Minor worming to the last seven leaves. Generally in very good condition throughout.Provenance: Presumably made for someone living in Rheims in the late fifteenth century. A sonnet on fol. 1v entitled, "Vraye Amour L'Ame nous y alie," in a sixteenth- or seventeenth-century hand, above a cipher in gold within a laurel wreath in green, apparently formed of the letters V, R, A, and Y, possibly intended to spell "VRAYE," in which case this and the title of the sonnet may be clues to the owner's name. A nineteenth-century inscription in French, dated 1820, on fol. 1 refers to the Belles heures and Très riches heures of the Duke of Berry, neither of which had then been identified as extant.Text:Calendar (fols. 2-13v), in French, rather sparse.

northern France, ca. 1480s 203 x 140 mm. (8 x 5 1/2""). Single column three lines of text under theminiature and 11 on the other side in a very bold and regular gothic book hand. WITH A COLORFUL DEPICTION OF THE VISITATION the Virgin and Elizabeth meeting in a rocky landscape before castle walls at night the sky at the top filled with carefully arrayed gold stars the scene within an arched gold compartment and THE WHOLE SURROUNDED BY A FANCIFUL FULL BORDER of acanthus leaves in red blue and green on hairline stems with numerous small burnished gold buds an eagle perched in the upper corner atop a three-quarter inner bar border of pink and blue with white tracery this border enclosing three lines of text underneath the painting the text beginning with a large initial D in blue and pink on a burnished gold ground. The verso with 11 lines of text line fillers and four initials in gold on blue and red with white tracery. A small blurred area in floral border at foot possible retouching to the noses of the two figures a wrinkle at the top just reaching into the arched compartment margins with a hint of soiling but generally well preserved the colors rich and the margins particularly ample. This is a miniature of charming quaintness in which the artist shows a degree of creativity and at least a dawning esthetic sensitivity in his depiction of the wallpaper-like patterns in the grass of the foreground and the star-studded sky in his carefully particularized depiction of the wall blocks and roof tiles of the castle and in his basic decision to paint the scene as taking place under the stars. $4500

(16), 552, (4) ll. Palau 110180; this edition not in Adams, BMC STC French, Brunet, Graesse; NUC (vol. 222, p. 189) lists 1 copy (Yale). French translation of a widely popular courtesy book by Fra Antonio Guevara (1480-1545), first published in Valladolid in 1529. In the present guide, Guevara gives rulers directions with regard to their private and public conduct. The work is divided into three books: On the need for the Prince to be a good Christian; how the Prince should behave towards his wife and children; and how he should govern himself and his country. It contains the life of Marcus Aurelius and his "Letters," full of moral advice and instructions about correct social behaviour. Guevara gives numerous exemplary and instructive stories from a variety of sources, mostly from classical history but some entirely fictitious, as well as proverbs and wise sayings. The present work was translated into French in 1531 and a second revised French translation by Nicolas de Herberay appeared in 1555. The work was extremely popular in France, and the French version was the basis for Sir Thomas North's English translation The Diall of Princes, first printed in 1557. The book was considered in England to be the quintessence of political subtlety, and its maxims were collected and repeated at the court of Elizabeth by every one who aspired to literary taste.This small-sized edition was printed by George L'Oiselet in Rouen for Claude Micard in Paris, and is dated in the colophon "1576." Small defect to title-page; a few lines on page 6/7 partly erased with ink, but still well readable; a bit soiled and slightly discoloured; annotations and old owners entries on flyleaves dated 1585, J. Denant; 1626 de Luynes, Paris; 19th cent. Beauchamp and 1880, Vicomte R. de Courson, Brieux. Copy from the library of H. de la Fontaine Verwey; binding rubbed, upper and lower spine replaced; a bit worn.

BALDASSARE COLDIRADI

|
Large initial "G" painted in blue, mauve and green with a frame of burnished gold, and enclosing a fine initial of David praying, dressed in luxurious red and green clothes, and looking up to the sky. Size of initial: 85 x 78mm. 1490. An unrecorded fragment from a dispersed manuscript known through several other cuttings with a fine historiated initial which can be surely attributed attributed to Baldassare Coldiradi, and dated c. 1480-1490. This cutting is from the same manuscript as others obtained by William Young Otley which later entered the collection of Lord Northwick (his sale, Sotheby's 16 November, 1925). Two of these cuttings were purchased by Robert Lehmann - one is now in Oberlin College (Allen Art Museum 4317), while the location of the second is unknown. Three more initials are in the Philadelphia Free Library (Lewis, E M 71:A-C), one is in the Indiana University Library (ms. K7), and six fragments in the Bodleian Library (Ms. Douce d. 13) may also be associated with this dispersed antiphonary. The group of cuttings has been reconstructed by Anna Melograni (Miniature inedite del Quattrocento lombardo nelle collezioni americane, Seconda parte, in Storia dell'arte, 83 (1995), pp. 5-27. Baldassare Coldiradi is an important artist in the late 15th century Lombard illumination as he elaborates the style of Lombard illuminators of the middle of hte century, such as the Master of the Vitae Imperatorum, under the influence of Mantegna and contemporary Ferrarese artists. His standing as a well recognised artist is confirmed by his title as "peritus imminiator librorum" in a payment note of 1482. Works by Coldiradi and his immediate circle include a series of Antiphonaries in thge Cathedral of Cremoba (mss. VI, VII, XII, XXI), a breviary now in the British Library (Add. 35310) illuminated for the bishop Daniele Birago in 1480, a series of cuttings in the Museo Civico di Cremona and a Missal (Biblioteca Apostolica Vatiocana, Vat. Lat. 9243), probably made for an Augustine foundation in Cremona.
