SCHRÖDER, Stefan:
Zwischen Christentum und Islam. Kulturelle Grenzen in den spätmittelalterlichen Pilgerberichten des Felix Fabri. (Orbis mediaevalis. Vorstellungswelten des Mittelalters 11).
|
Bln: Akademie-Verlag 2009. - 459 S. Kart. *neuwertig* Die spätmittelalterlichen Reisebeschreibungen über die Wallfahrt nach Jerusalem sind einzigartige Zeugnisse der Kulturbegegnung. Ausführlich berichten die Verfasser über ferne Städte und exotische Länder, detailliert schildern sie die fremdartigen Verhaltensweisen ihrer Bewohner und die ungewohnten Lebensbedingungen. Die Pilgerberichte des Ulmer Dominikaners Felix Fabri gelten dabei als Höhepunkt des Genres. Mit außerordentlicher Akribie und Detailgenauigkeit hielt er die Erlebnisse seiner Jerusalemwallfahrten 1480 und 1483 fest. Neben dem monumentalen, an seine Klosterbrüder gerichteten Evagatorium Terrae Sanctae, Arabiae et Egypti peregrinationem verfasste er für ein Laienpublikum eine deutschsprachige Version, einen geistlichen Pilgerführer und ein gereimtes Pilgerbüchlein.

Aus kulturhistorischer Perspektive analysiert Stefan Schröder systematisch die Fremd- und Selbstbilder in den Werken des Felix Fabri und stellt sie durch den Vergleich mit Pilgerberichten des 13. bis 15. Jahrhunderts in einen größeren historischen Kontext. Im Blickpunkt stehen Fabris Strategien zur Vermittlung und Beglaubigung des Gesehenen sowie die Funktionalisierung des Fremden und Anderen zur Konstituierung von Norm- und Wertvorstellungen. Am Beispiel seiner Beschreibungen der Venezianer, Muslime und Juden werden die kulturellen Grenzen und Identitätsvorstellungen in vormodernen Gesellschaften hinterfragt. Anhand des Mittelmeers sowie der Landschaftsdarstellungen Palästinas und Ägyptens geht der Autor Fabris Raumkonzepten nach.

GREGOROVIUS, Ferdinand (Neidenburg, Prussia Orientale, 1821 - Monaco di Baviera, 1891)
Lucrèce Borgia, d' après les Documents Originaux et les correspondances contemporaines.
|
A4458, Paris, - Sandoz et Fischbacher, Copertine originali, rinforzo al dorso, in-8° (cm.23x14), pagg. 413-(2)-1b., (4)-425-(2) con una tavola incisa fuori testo del fronte e retro della medaglia col ritratto di Lucrezia Borgia. Lo storico tedesco Gregorovius fu uno dei maggiori conoscitori di storia romana del Rinascimento e dell’ Umanesimo e notevoli sono e sue biografie di Papa Alessandro VI (Rodrigo Borgia) e di Lucrezia Borgia. Lucrecia Borja (Subiaco, 1480 - Ferrara, 1519), fu una delle figure più note del Rinascimento italiano. Donna di rara e documentata bellezza, è passata alla storia come un personaggio controverso, una donna dissoluta e forse incestuosa, sia con il padre che col fratello Cesare - il "duca del Valentino"-. Fu più probabilmente lei stessa vittima degli intrighi delle corti italiane preparati da suo padre, divenuto papa Alessandro VI, il cui papato fu tra i più fastosi ed immorali, da attirarsi un feroce odio da più parti. Lucrezia fu costretta a contrarre un primo matrimonio con Giovanni Sforza, duca di Pesaro, a 13 anni. Ma ben presto, i Borgia, non avendo più bisogno degli Sforza, costrinsero Giovanni a firmare una confessione di impotenza per sciogliere il matrimonio. Durante il processo di annullamento, Lucrezia consumò una relazione dalla quale nacque un figlio segreto, poco prima il suo secondo matrimonio con Alfonso d'Aragona, duca di Bisceglie, figlio naturale di Alfonso II di Napoli. Ma, una volta svanito il suo peso politico, Alfonso fu assassinato per ordine di Cesare Borgia. Il ruolo di Lucrezia in questo frangente, di vittima o ingannatrice, ne decretò la sua sanguinaria fama. Intanto, per rafforzare la signoria di Cesare in Romagna, Lucrezia venne data in sposa ad Alfonso I d'Este, erede legittimo del ducato di Ferrara. Alla corte d'Este Lucrezia riscosse notevole successo per i suo mecenatismo e per l’arte: il Bembo le dedicò Gli Asolani, dove cantò la sua bellezza e la sua virtù; l'Ariosto ne celebrò la virtù in una stanza dell'Orlando furioso e nelle Satire.

Silvaticus, Matthaeus.
Liber pandectarum medicinae.
|
[Strasbourg, Adolf Rusch, c. 1480]. - Folio (240:345 mm). 307 ff. (instead of 308, wanting first blank; counter-leaf [1]6 trimmed close to the two paragraphs of text, with ms. 17th-c. note on reverse). Collation: [1]6, [2]8, [3-7]10, [8]8, [9-10]10, [11-12]8, [13]10, [14-16]8, [17]6, [18]10, [19-22]8, [23]6, [24-28]8, [29-30]10, [31-32]8, [33]10, [34-36]8. 2 columns, 55 lines. Type 2:100G. Rubricated throughout; 3- to 8-line red lombardic initials. Restored early 16th-c. blindstamped pigskin binding (modern endpapers). Very early edition of Matthaeus Silvaticus's pharmacological "magnum opus", first printed in Naples in 1474 and dedicated to King Robert of Sicily. The printer is commonly referred to as "the R-Printer" and has been identified as Adolf Rusch. - This compendium on Greek and Arabic medical works constitutes one of the most important pharmacological writings of the 14th century; it treats principal sources such as Dioscurides, Galenus, Rhazes, Plinius, Hippocrates, etc. - "Silvaticus is regarded as one of the most important botanists and pharmacologists of the middle ages. His work is mainly a splendid compilation of the writings of earlier physicians. Subjects are arranged alphabetically, making the whole a kind of dictionary. The work's greatest value lies in its explanations of numerous technical terms from all fields of medicine, especially of various Arabic terms" (cf. Hirsch/H.). Silvaticus had made several scientific expeditions to collect his material; he later setteld in Salerno, where he designed a botanical garden. - Binding professionally restored using the original pigskin material.; hinges beginning to split. Significant worming to roll-tooled covers; further strong worming to second flyleaf (watermark: triple mount with cross) and first leaves of text (index; carefully restored with Japanese paper); slight worming to inner margins of last pages. Ten-line ms. dedication written on former pastedown laid down on the new one: according to it, the Silesian pharmacologist Fabian Ilg donated the volume to the library of Brzeg in 1604. A few contemp. ms. marginalia; altogether a fresh, well-preserved copy. As the perfectly spaced, complete ms. notes on the reverse of the trimmed last index leaf prove, the trimming of the unprinted parts of the page was done in the 17th century at the latest. HC 15192.

Italian Drawings From the Sixteenth Century

David Brown. New PLEASE NOTE that we do not offer expedited shipping. Orders placed with the priority shipping option will automatically be canceled. 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 covers the sixteenth century, including, as a rule, artists born between 1480 and 1580, with the exception of Giovanni Baglione and the Carracci. The study represents a gathering of drawings from forty institutions between Ohio and Oklahoma. Every drawing was examined for the following information: Artist, place of birth and death with dates, biography, title of drawing, date of drawing, dimensions, media, institutional credit line, accession number, technical condition, inscriptions, collectors' marks, watermark, provenance, exhibitions, bibliography, and comments.

Early printed edition of Martial with the commentary by Calderinus which was first printed in 1474 by De Colonia and Manthen. A very attractive example of early Venetian printing with the original text printed in a large Roman type surrounded by a sea of commentary. This is the work by which this anonymous press has been named. The British Museum Catalogue (vol. V, p. 296) identifies three editions of 1480, signed "Venetus", which constitute the total recognized output of this anonymous printer [223] leaves (instead of 224; without last blank). Roman type; 57 lines; capital spaces; ownership inscription on first blank page; marginal annotations in an early hand; first few leaves with some minor marginal handsoiling; few very minor dampstain in outer blank margin of last few leaves. § Hain-Copinger 10814; Pellechet 7599; IGI (+ Suppl) 6222; Proctor 5660; BMC V, 296; Goff M 304; CIBN M-165; BSB M-195.

Werner Rolevinck (1425-1502) was a Carthusian monk and historian who wrote about 50 titles. He was born near Laer, Westphalia, the son of a wealthy farmer. In 1447 he entered the Carthusian Monastery of Santa Barbara in Cologne where he died. His most famous work was his history of the world from Creation to Pope Sixtus IV, Fasciculus temporum, which was published in many editions between 1474 and 1726, including almost 50 editions during his lifetime, translated to Flemish, German, France and Spanisch. His only other well known work was a description of the manners and customs of his native land entitled De laude veteris Saxsoniae nunc Westphaliae dictae Contains one of the earliest references to the history of printing and the spread of the printed book. On leaf Cxci there is the statement " die boeckprinters worden seer vermenicht in alien landen". (trans.) "The printers of books are increasing in all countries." Caxton Connection: Recent scholarship has drawn attention to the connection between Jan Veldener and William Caxton, the first English printer, at Cologne around 1470. MAybe Caxton acted as the publisher, financing Veldener's printing. It is also very likely that Veldener was chief compositor of the first book printed in the English language ( Recuyell of the Histories of Troy) and that he helped Caxton set up his famous press in Bruges.

Er gehört seit über dreißig Jahren dem ?Max-Planck-Institut für Ornithologie ? Vogelwarte Radolfzell" an und hat bereits zahlreiche Fachbeiträge veröffentlicht. Die Bibliographie verzeichnet selbständige Drucke aus dem deutschen Sprachgebiet (einschließlich ihrer fremdsprachigen Ausgaben), die zwischen 1480 und 1850 erschienen sind und ist insofern eine Fortschreibung des lieferbaren Verlags-Standardwerkes ?Die illustrierten Vogelbücher. Ihre Geschichte und Bibliographie 1491-1953" von Claus Nissen. Thematisch geht es um Publikationen zu Vogelkunde, -fang, -haltung und Vogeljagd sowie um die Falknerei und Tauben. Keine Berücksichtigung finden Geflügelliteratur, Einblattdrucke und einschlägige Dissertationen. Den Schwerpunkt bilden nichtillustrierte Bücher, insbesondere die meist anonym erschienenen Titel für die Praktiker des Vogelfangs und der Vogelhaltung. Diese meist auf einfachem Papier gedruckten Büchlein, zudem nur selten illustriert, wurden kaum gesammelt und gehören deshalb heute zu den bibliophilen Kostbarkeiten. Fast ausschließlich durch Autopsie hat der Autor 500 Titel in etwa 1000 Ausgaben in öffentlichen und Sezialbibliotheken eruieren und damit einen hohen Grad an Vollständigkeit erreichen können. Neben den für wissenschaftliche Bibliographien üblichen Informationen weist der Autor bis zu 6 Standorte nach. Bei den Abbildungen handelt es sich zumeist um illustrierte Titelseiten von Rarissima. Eine Zeittafel dokumentiert die Chronologie der Vogelliteratur, und das Register erschließt die Titel nach Vogelarten, Orten / Regionen und Buchgattungen. Diese wissenschaftliche Bibliographie wendet sich vor allem an Bibliothekare, Antiquare, Auktionshäuser, Büchersammler; desgleichen an Zoologen, Taubenliebhaber, Ornithologen, Jagdwissenschaftler, Falkner und Kulturgeschichtler allgemein.

ILLUMINATED LEAF
Manuscript Koran Leaf
|
1480. ILLUMINATED LEAF. Manuscript Koran leaf. Turkey, late 15th century. Single leaf, measuring 7 by 10 inches, written in black ink; handsomely matted with gold fillets in beige cloth and window-framed, entire piece measures 12-1/2 by 16 inches. $1250. Scarce 15th-century Ottoman leaf from a selection of parts of the Koran, with five lines of strikingly bold, black muhaqqaq script on heavy buff paper, handsomely framed with gold fillet and silk matting. This highly desirable leaf is from a late 15th-century selection of parts of the Koran, most likely of Ottoman origin. Five lines of bold, black muhaqqaq script (a type of calligraphic script that died out in the 16th-century and was derived from Thuluth script, which was used in the middle ages on mosque decorations) are written on heavy buff paper, which originally opened bifolio. The leaf has been window-framed and the verso is similar. A beautiful framed leaf in fine condition.

[Straßburg, Adolf Rusch, um 1480].. 307 (statt 308) Bll. (fehlt das 1. w. Bl.; das Gegenblatt [1]6 unten und außen bis auf den Text [2 Absätze] beschnitten; verso mit hs. Notiz des 17. Jhs.). Kollation: [1]6, [2]8, [3-7]10, [8]8, [9-10]10, [11-12]8, [13]10, [14-16]8, [17]6, [18]10, [19-22]8, [23]6, [24-28]8, [29-30]10, [31-32]8, [33]10, [34-36]8. 2 Spalten, 55 Zeilen. Type 2:100G. Durchgehend rubriziert; 3-8-zeilige rote Lombarden. Restaurierter blindgepr. Schweinlederband des frühen 16. Jhs. auf 4 Doppelbünden (Vorsätze erneuert). Dreiseitiger Farbschnitt. Folio (240:345 mm).. Sehr frühe Ausgabe von Matthaeus Silvaticus' pharmakologischem Hauptwerk, erstmals 1474 in Neapel erschienen und König Robert von Sizilien gewidmet. Der Drucker wird nach Typenvergleich als "the R-Printer" bzw. der "Drucker mit dem bizarren R", d. i. Adolf Rusch, identifiziert. - Das Kompendium zu griechischen und arabischen medizinischen Abhandlungen stellt eines der wichtigsten pharmakologischen Werke des 14. Jahrhunderts dar; unter den berücksichtigten Texten sind Hauptquellen wie Dioskurides, Galen, Rhazes, Plinius, Hippokrates u. a. - Silvaticus gilt als "einer der bedeutendsten Botaniker und Pharmakologen des Mittelalters. Das Werk ist wesentlich eine grossartige Compilation aus Schriften früherer Aerzte. Die Gegenstände sind alphabetisch geordnet, so dass das Ganze eine Art Lexikon darstellt. Der Hauptwerth der Schrift liegt in den Erklärungen zahlreicher Kunstausdrücke aus dem Gesammtgebiete der Medicin, besonders verschiedener arabischer Bezeichnung" (Hirsch/H.). Silvaticus hatte zur Sammlung von Material große wissenschaftliche Reisen unternommen, sich später in Salerno niedergelassen und hier einen botanischen Garten angelegt. - Einband fachmännisch restauriert unter Verwendung des originalen Bezugsmaterials. Gelenke im Lederbezug geplatzt (der Leinenträger intakt). Die rollengeprägten Deckel (Köpfe im Oval, Bogenfriese, Apostelrolle) mit starken Wurmspuren; das erhaltene 2. Vorsatzblatt (Wasserzeichen Dreiberg mit Kreuz) und die ersten Textblätter (Register) ebenfalls mit stärkeren Wurmspuren (im Register sorgfältig mit Japanpapier restauriert); gegen Ende auch im Bug kl. Wurmgänge. Am vorderen Innendeckel einmontiert der 10zlg. hs. Schenkungsvermerk des alten Spiegels, demgemäß der wohl schlesische Pharmakologe Fabian Ilg den Band 1604 der Bibliothek von Brieg (Brzeg) schenkte. Einige hs. Marginalien der Zeit; bis auf gelegentliche Bräunung im Bug sehr frisch und sauber. Wie die den Beschnitt des letzten Registerblatts [1]6 genau ausfüllende Notiz auf der Versoseite zeigt, fand die Abtrennung der unbedruckten Blattteile spätestens im 17. Jh. statt. - HC 15192.

|
Taruisii per B. Celeriu 1480.II.24 (Bernardinus Celerius) - A somewhat defective copy of this first Latin edition of Dionysius, disbound and missing 30 of 300 leaves. Nevertheless a rare early printing, and the Editio Princeps. Four leaves loose and somewhat shaved down the gutter margin with no loss of text. Leaves 215-22 with small hole to upper margin (not a wormhole, more of a stabhole), not affecting text. Leaf 290 with bottom 1/3 excised. Last 20 or so leaves a bit dog-eared at bottom corner. Numbered by hand indistinctly in the top right hand corner, and starts at leaf 12. leaves 12-15, 19-20, 23-24, 26, 28-31, 34-290 only. No capitals in this copy. Internally fairly clean with the occasinal marginal blemish or small stain. Some faint light foxing. Some light waterstaining to corners of first and last few leaves but otherwise sound inside with no worming or loss except where noted above. We can send images of this book on request. Goff 250. Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Halicarnassus c. 60 BC - after 7 BC) was a Greek historian and teacher of rhetoric, who flourished during the reign of Caesar Augustus. He went to Rome after the termination of the civil wars, and spent twenty-two years in studying the Latin language and literature and preparing materials for his history. During this period he gave lessons in rhetoric, and enjoyed the society of many distinguished men. The date of his death is unknown. It is commonly supposed he is the ancestor of Aelius Dionysius of Halicarnassus. His great work entitled Rhomaike archaiologia (Roman Antiquities), embraced the history of Rome from the mythical period to the beginning of the First Punic War. It was divided into twenty books, of which the first nine remain entire, the tenth and eleventh are nearly complete, and the remaining books exist in fragments in the excerpts of Constantine Porphyrogenitus and an epitome discovered by Angelo Mai in a Milan manuscript. The first three books of Appian, and Plutarch's Life of Camillus also embody much of Dionysius. [Attributes: Soft Cover]

SAMUEL MAROCHITANUS.
Epistola contra Judaeorum errores. Based on the translation from the Arabic by Alphonsus Boni Hominis. - PONTIUS PILATUS (pseudo-). Epistola ad Tiberium.
|
(Rom, Eucharius Silber, um 1480/82). - Kl.-4to (205 x 147 mm). [22] Bl. [a8, b6, c8]. Pappband. Eines der berühmtesten antisemitischen Schriften des Mittelalters. Sehr seltene römische Inkunabel aus der Frühzeit der Offizin von Eucharius Silber der zwischen 1480 und 1509 aktiv war. Lange Zeit wurde der Druck der Offizin Andreas Freitags in Rom zugeschrieben. Der Text gründet auf der um das Jahr 1072 verfassten Schrift des aus dem marokkanischen Fez stammenden Samuel Ben Jehuda'Abbâs el Maghrebi el-Israel, der in Toledo zum Christentum konvertierte. Seine polemische Schrift Contra Judaeorum errores (Ueber die Irrtümer der Juden) wurde 1339 angeblich von dem spanischen Domikaner Alfonso Buenhombre (Bonihominis) aus dem Arabischen ins Lateinische übersetzt. Steinschneider äusserte aber auch die Vermutung, dass der Verfasser der vorliegenden Polemik identisch mit dem Übersetzter sei. "In the original work Samuel claimed to prove the prophetic character of Jesus and Mohammed, and argued that too many laws were added to the Torah by the Mishnah and Gemara. Buenhombre adapted the tract to present it as a Christian rather than Muslim polemic, and may have drawn on another Arabic tract as well" (Jewish Encyclopedia). Erstmals 1475 in Mantua gedruckt, erschienen gegen zwanzig Inkunabelausgaben sowie weitere Drucke bis ins 18. Jahrhundert. Vor allem die ganz frühen Inkunabelausgaben enthalten wie vorliegend den unechten, frühestens im 5. Jahrhundert entstandenen Brief des Kaisers Tiberius an Pontius Pilatus. Darin zeigt sich der durch Magdalena informierte Tiberius empört über die ungerechte Hinrichtung Jesu und verurteilt Pilatus mitsamt den jüdischen Führern zum Tod, anschliessend wird der Untergang der für Jesu Tod Verantwortlichen geschildert. Die im Campo di Fiore angesiedelte Offizin des dem geistlichen Stand angehörenden Eucharius Silber aus Regensburg gehörte zusammen mit jener von Stephan Planck zu den beiden grossen Druckereien Roms im 15. Jahrhundert. - Erstes unbedrucktes Bl. mit Notizen von alter Hand (Liste von Verben) etwas braunfleckig, Innensteg oben geringfügig wasserfleckig, Schnitt minimal gebräunt, insgesamt ein vorzügliches, breitrandiges Exemplar. Helmut N. Friedlaender (Kat. Christie's, NY 2001, Nr. 113). Goff S-106; IBP 4876; Reichling 722; IGI 8580; Garcia Rojo/Ortiz de Montalvon 1638; Fürst II, 153; Steinschneider, Polemische und apologetische Literatur in arabischer Sprache (1877), S. 137-138; Gutenberg Jb. 1966, S. 112-115; LThK II, 690; Very rare incunabular edition of one of the most widely disseminated medieval anti-Semitic tracts, from the press of Eucharius Silber from Regensburg, Rome's leading printer whose press was active from 1480 to 1509. The text is based on the 14th-century Latin version by the Spanish Dominican Alfonsus Bonihominis (Buenhombre, d.1353) of the 11th-century Arabic treatise Ifham al-Yahud [Confutation of the Jews] by the convert Samuel Abu Nasr ibn Abbas, son of Judah ibn Abbas of Fez. In his original versionl Samuel claimed to prove the prophetic character of Jesus and Mohammed and argued that too many laws were added to the Torah by the Mishnah and Gemara. Buenhombre adapted the tract to present it as a Christian rather than Muslim polemic; he may well have drawn on other Arabic texts as well. - The anti-Semitic work was first printed at Mantua in 1475. About twenty incunabular editions survive, including translations into German, Italian and Spanish. The text maintained its popularity throughout the following two centuries and was translated into most European languages, including Russian. Only early editions contain the spurious letter (written no earlier than the 5th century) of Emperor Tiberius to Pontius Pilate. - The first blank leaf with ms. notes (list of Latin verbs), faint water stain at head of inner margins, some minor foxing in lower margins, else a good, wide-margined copy in later boards. la [Attributes: Hard Cover]

AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF WITH A FINE HISTORI...
TEXT FROM THE OPENING OF THE OFFICE OF THE DEAD.
|
Florence, ca. 1480 127 x 89 mm. (5 x 3 1/2"). Single column, 12 lines of text in a very neat uncluttered gothic book hand. Rubrics in red, four one-line initials in red or blue, recto WITH A BEAUTIFUL DENSE FULL BORDER with much foliage, many flowers, very numerous small gold bezants, and, at the middle top, a skull, as well as WITH A FINE HISTORIATED "D" painted in several colors on a burnished gold ground ENCLOSING A SKELETON (from the fourth rib upwards) against a powder blue background, the border, text, and initial within a fine modelled frame of brown and gold. The leaf carefully inlaid into a larger piece of vellum (measuring approximately 8 1/8 x 5 5/8"), the black ink of the text somewhat faded (a few letters neatly retouched); in all other ways AN EXTREMELY FINE, EXTRAORDINARILY BRIGHT LEAF, with its gilt still shimmering. This leaf comes from a manuscript executed in the style of Mariano del Buono (1433-1504), a leading Florentine illuminator during the 1470s. Three of the splendid manuscripts that he painted appear as nos. 49, 68, and 69 in the catalogue entitled "The Painted Page," done for the magnificent exhibition held in 1994-95 at the Royal Academy in London and then the Morgan Library in New York. The historiation on both leaves is first rate, and the borders are simply superb. The inlaying of leaves into vellum, as here, is characteristic of items from the library of John Boykett Jarman. $ 2900

Fu autore di numerosi e apprezzati lavori umanistici. La presente opera, apparsa dapprima a Parigi nel 1518 con il titolo "Specimen epithetorum", assunse nella ristampa di Basilea, 1541, il titolo definitivo di "Opus epithetorum". Concepita come registro dei principali lemmi latini, disposti alfabeticamente, nei poeti e nei prosatori, godette di larga fortuna e fu numerose volte ristampata e compendiata ad uso degli allievi. Essa è preceduta, alle cc. 4-47, da un altro trattato del Tixier, il "De Prosodia". Voce Ravisius-Textor di Weiss in Michaud, "Biogr. universelle", XXXVII, 153-54. Cfr.

Tusculum est une ville ou Ciceron possedait une villa et ou il venait de perdre sa fille. Ciceron repond a cinq questions successivement : la mort est-elle un mal ? La douleur est-elle le plus grand de tous les maux ? Le sage est-il susceptible de chagrin ? L'ame du sage est-elle totalement a l'abri des passions ? La vertu suffit-elle a assurer le bonheur ?

Rouen : Chez Raphael du petit Val, devant la grand porte du Palais. 1596 Second 'de Rosset' Edition 12mo, A-H12, 186, [6] pp, printer's woodcut device on title, large woodcut on page 19, t-p and last leaf dust-soiled, a few leaves cut close at head, 19c. green calf a little rubbed. t.e.g., circular engraved armorial bookplate of Edward Grisbach on front pastedown. A libertine satire, thought to have been written early in the 15th century, providing a riotous critique of married women but also an important insight into the economic and social life of the period. The text first appears in two very rare incunable editions, Lyons c.1480 (of which ISTC locates copies at Paris BN and Poitiers BM), and Paris c. 1499 (located in 3 copies, Paris BN, Chantilly and Jena ULB). Sixteenth century editions are given by both Brunet and Tchemerzine as Paris undated, Lyon, C. Nourry 1520, Lyon, Arnoullet undated, all described as "fort rare", followed in 1595 by the first of innumerable editions of the text edited by Francois de Rosset.("... son texte est, aux jugement de M. Jannet, le meilleur de tous ceux qui ont paru avant 1853" - Brunet). After extensive electronic searches we are able to claim that all editions before the 18th century are very rare. Of the 16th and 17th century editions we have located no copy of any edition before 1596, 2 copies of the present edition (Exeter Cathedral and All Souls' Oxford), a copy of a 1607 edition in the British Library and a 1621 edition in the Bodleian Library, both of which are also held by the Austrian National Library. The next edition recorded is 1726, held by Princeton, Yale, UC Irvine, and Bryn Mawr. A 1734 edition is recorded at UCLA, U Cincinnati and National Library of Spain, but the earliest at Harvard and New York PL is the 1837 edition. Apparently an excessively rare text until rediscovered by Jannet in 1853, since which it has been constantly reprinted.

David, Goliath and 11 other Full-Page MiniaturesExpressing Elemental Directness of Emotion Tours[?], ca. 1480 125 x 90 mm. (4 7/8 x 3 1/2"). 155 unnumbered leaves, 1 leaf blank (except for ruling). Pleasing 17th century olive brown morocco framed in triple rules, spine with raised bands, gilt titling, and spine compartments featuring gilt central lozenge containing a flower and framed by scrolls. Numerous one- and two-line gilt initials on blue or red grounds, 12 calendar leaves with the usual burnished gold "KL" on a red or blue background, 12 EFFECTIVELY COMPOSED FULL-PAGE MINIATURES showing, in turn, the Annunciation, Arrest of Christ, Christ before Caiaphas, Christ Carrying the Cross, Christ Nailed to the Cross, the Crucifixion, Descent from the Cross, Entombment, David and Goliath, Pieta, Trinity, and Skeleton in Prayer, all in oblong apertures with curved tops, each with three lines of text beneath (begun by a three-line floral initial), EACH MINIATURE WITH A FULL BRUSHED GOLD BORDER filled with much vegetation, the borders of the first eight illuminations inhabited typically by two attractively realized birds, but with dragons and snails appearing twice, seven additional pages with lavishly decorated borders of colorful flowers, acanthus leaves, and strawberries and inhabited by birds (some fanciful), moths, and snails, these borders with various partial geometrical grounds of brushed gold. Inscription on front flyleaf of the poet and playwright Edward Jerningham (see below), noting that the book was a gift from James Robson, a bookseller located on New Bond Street. Joints lightly scuffed, more seriously at extemities, a few minor light abrasions on covers, but the early very decorative binding completely solid and retaining much of its original appeal. Several of the top curved edges of the miniatures slightly affected by cropping, one miniature with a half-inch marginal tear just entering the border, a few of the miniatures with minor paint loss, intermittent light soiling and a little wrinkling, one leaf with small marginal hole, but generally the miniatures and text in very agreeable condition, with nothing approaching a serious defect. This quaint and occasionally peculiar Book of Hours was created, perhaps in nearby Tours, for an Angevin owner, as is clear from the commemoration in the calendar of three bishops of Angers in west central France--Lesinius (February 13), Maurilius (September 13), and Renatus (November 12). It contains a 12-leaf calendar, the Hours of the Virgin, the Seven Penitential Psalms and Litany, the Office of the Dead, "O Intemerata," and Suffrages for Saints Christopher and Sebastian. It seems that at least two artists were at work here: the illuminated borders are always delicate and occasionally close to exquisite, with carefully drawn foliage and delightful inhabitation in an animated context. The miniatures were painted by someone else, as they are much more about dramatic emotion and much less about convincing visualization. That is not to say that they are without esthetic merit. The Descent from the Cross is a moving scene largely because the artist has emphasized the lifelessness of the body by the grotesque hanging of Christ's head, and the drama of the sombre betrayal miniature is enhanced by the clever use of light amidst a close group of dark and menacing soldiers. But the manuscript makes a memorable mark with a kind of artistry that might be less readily recognized. For example, in the unusual David and Goliath miniature (introducing the Psalms), we are treated to a depiction of the clumsy giant, in full armor and fringed kilt, kneeling, his forehead bleeding, as David raises a large sword to decapitate him. Although one would hardly call this painting great art (the figures are stiff, a sense of three dimensionality is lacking), it has very considerable appeal, not just because of its scarce iconography, but also because it conveys with an elemental, almost childlike, directness one of the most resonant of all biblical moments of triumph. In the same vein, the smiling corpse who introduces the Office of the Dead rises from his tomb, his emaciated face dimly reflected in a mirror hung from a dead tree. This last miniature, also containing an uncommon image, is simply ugly--as it is supposed to be--and the distasteful emotion it conveys is commensurately powerful. The former owner of this manuscript, Edward Jerningham (1737-1812) was, in the words of the Oxford DNB, "an exquisitely affected poet" of considerable range (but not soaring talent) influenced by Gray, Mason, and especially Walpole. He knew a great many of the social and political elite of the period, a number of whom figured prominently "in his highly entertaining correspondence." Jerningham was notoriously dainty, and Sheridan's foppish poet Sir Benjamin Backbite in "The School for Scandal" seems to have been based on him. During the final 27 years of his life, he lived in a modest residence off Grosvenor Square, described in 1809 by his niece as "'dirty, but well-filled with Books.'" $ 45000

TEXT FROM THE OPENING OF THE OFFICE OF THE DEAD.
|
Florence, ca. 1480 - Single column 12 lines of text in a very neat uncluttered gothic book hand. Rubrics in red four one-line initials in red or blue recto WITH A BEAUTIFUL DENSE FULL BORDER with much foliage many flowers very numerous small gold bezants and at the middle top a skull as well as WITH A FINE HISTORIATED D painted in several colors on a burnished gold ground ENCLOSING A SKELETON (from the fourth rib upwards) against a powder blue background the border text and initial within a fine modelled frame of brown and gold. The leaf carefully inlaid into a larger piece of vellum (measuring approximately 8 1/8 x 5 5/8) the black ink of the text somewhat faded (a few letters neatly retouched); in all other ways AN EXTREMELY FINE EXTRAORDINARILY BRIGHT LEAF with its gilt still shimmering. This leaf comes from a manuscript executed in the style of Mariano del Buono (1433-1504) a leading Florentine illuminator during the 1470s. Three of the splendid manuscripts that he painted appear as nos. 49 68 and 69 in the catalogue entitled "The Painted Page" done for the magnificent exhibition held in 1994-95 at the Royal Academy in London and then the Morgan Library in New York. The historiation on both leaves is first rate and the borders are simply superb. The inlaying of leaves into vellum as here is characteristic of items from the library of John Boykett Jarman.

Rubricated throughout in red and yellow, with Lombard initials in red; first initial with pen decoration (13 line); some browning and staining, a few leaves at the end are guarded in the inner margin; Ottaviano Scotto came from Monza, a small town not far from Milan. He presumably went to Venice in the 1470's, to seek his fortune in a new industry, where 'the glitter of gold was more inviting than anywhere in fifteenth-century Europe.'... He set up a shop in the parish of San Samuele, where, in 1479, he printed his earliest surviving book... For the next nineteen years, Ottaviano was active as a printer, underwriter, and bookdealer, producing no fewer than 220 books... Ottaviano made several contributions to the history of printing. He was the first printer to use quarto and octavo formats for liturgical books. These small formats not only made liturgical books more affordable, but also allowed greater portability for the clergy, since the bilk and weight of large folio volumes required them to remain stationary on lecturns."

Minor worming to the last seven leaves. Generally in very good condition throughout.#11;#11;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 Tr!s riches heures of the Duke of Berry, neither of which had then been identified as extant.#11;#11;Text:#11;#11;Calendar (fols. 2-13v), in French, rather sparse.

These include just a single Book of Hours, of the fourteenth century.
