LITTLETON, SIR THOMAS
Littleton's Tenures, in French and English. London, 1671.
Littleton, Sir Thomas [d. 1481]. Littleton's Tenures, In French and English. With an Alphabetical Table of the Principal Matters Therein Contained. London: Printed by John Streater, James Flesher and Henry Twyford, Assigns of Richard Atkins, and Edward Atkins, 1671. [xxii], 436 (i.e. 426), [2] pp. Main text in parallel columns. 12mo. (3" x 5-1/4"). Contemporary sheep, blind rules to boards and spine. Light rubbing to extremities, small chip to head of spine, rear joint just starting at head, front hinge cracked but secure, rear pastedown loose and worn around the edges. Clean tear to fore edges of a few leaves with no loss to text. Offsetting to margins of endleaves, toning to a few text leaves, interior otherwise fresh. Ex-private library. Armorial bookplate of the library of the Earls of Macclesfield to front pastedown, the library's small embossed stamp to title page, small shelf labels to spine. A lovely unsophisticated copy. $2,000. * First edition with parallel texts in English and Law French. Written during the reign of Edward IV [1442-1483] and first published around 1481, Littleton's Tenures is probably the most revered treatise in the history of the common law. Much admired for its learning and style, it is concerned with tenures and other issues relating to real property. This venerable work, which Coke called "the ornament of the Common Law, and the most perfect and absolute work that ever was written in any humane science," is considered a landmark because it renounced the principles of Roman law (and Latin) in favor of guidelines and doctrines drawn from the Year Books and, when necessary, hypothetical cases.

Manthen e seconda ediz. in assoluto di questa parte dell'opera (che si compone di 4 parti ed apparve completa per la prima volta a Norimberga, A. Koberger, 1477-79). La "Summa" è l'opera capitale di S. Antonino (Firenze 1389 - 1459, frate domenicano, arcivescovo di Firenze dal 1445, dai suoi concittadini inviato in varie missioni diplomatiche presso vari Pontefici) con cui esercitò un grande influsso fino al 1600; ebbe 20 edizioni complete dal 1477 (Norimberga e Venezia) al 1740 e moltissime altre incomplete.

Gregorius IX
Decretales cum glossa. [edito da Franciscus Moneliensis]
incunaboli, Venezia 1481 In-folio (428x286 mm.), [314] c. l’ultima bianca. Carattere gotico (73 Ga per il testo), (73 Gb per il commento), testo su due colonne inquadrato dal commento su 72 linee, spazi per iniziali con letterine guida, incipit dei cinque libri e 185 titoli stampato in rosso, grande marca tipografica di Jenson in rosso al verso della penultima carta, interamente rubricato in rosso e blu. Legatura coeva di area tedesca in cuoio con impressioni a secco su assi di legno, dorso a quattro nervi, conservati i quattro fermagli metallici, mancano i lacci. Bell’esemplare, marginoso, qualche gora nei margini, alcune piccole macchie, note marginali di antica mano. Una fenditura sul piatto anteriore anticamente riparata. Bella e rara edizione veneziana dei Decretales con il commento di Francesco di Moneglia. Fin dal momento della sua assunzione al pontificato nel 1227, Gregorio IX aveva intenzione di pubblicare una raccolta completa e autentica di decretali che servisse ad eliminare quelle compilate da privati pur dopo il Decretum di Graziano. Nel 1230 il papa affidò questo incarico a Raimondo di Pe?afort, già maestro presso lo studio di Bologna e in quel tempo cappellano e penitenziere del pontefice; il 5 settembre 1234 Gregorio IX pubblicò la raccolta con la bolla Rex pacificus inviandola alle Università di Bologna e Parigi. Il motivo della collezione, come spiega la bolla di promulgazione, fu quello di raccogliere le decretali dei predecessori, fino ad allora disperse, in un solo corpo, dotato di autorità. È probabile che il pontefice intendesse altresì collocare definitivamente, anche nella forma esteriore, il diritto canonico all’altezza del diritto romano mettendo al riparo da qualsivoglia possibile contestazione il potere legislativo del pontefice. L’opera è divisa in cinque libri che trattano differenti materie secondo l’ordine indicato dal noto verso: iudex, iudicium, clerus, conubia, crimen; comprende 185 titoli e 1871 capitoli; vi furono incluse decretali di papi, da Bonifacio I in poi – particolarmente numerose quelle di San Gregorio Magno e di Innocenzo III – canoni di concili, da quello di Sardica al IV lateranense, passi ricavati dalla Bibbia, da opere di santi, oltre ad alcuni titoli tratti da capitolari franchi e dal diritto romano. La collezione di Gregorio IX, autentica e universale, emanata cioè dalla suprema potestà legislativa con valore di legge per tutta la Chiesa, una e esclusiva perché il papa abolì tutte le collezioni precedenti a eccezione del decreto di Graziano e tolse valore agli stessi originali delle decretali da lui raccolte, incontrò subito il massimo favore e fu ben presto commentata. La glossa autentica fu fissata in un primo mometo da Bernardo da Botone quindi da Giovanni d’Andrea; importanti sono altresì i commenti di Sinibaldo Fieschi e Niccolò de’Tedeschi.

"Bartolomeo Platina, originally named Sacchi, was born at Piadena (Platina in Latin), near Mantua, in 1421; he died at Rome, 1481. In 1457, he went to Florence, and studied under the Greek scholar Argyropulos. In 1462 he proceeded to Rome, probably in the suite of Cardinal Francesco Gonzaga. After Pius II had reorganized the College of Abbreviators (1463), and increased the number to seventy, Platina, in May 1464, was elected a member. When Paul II abolished the ordinances of Pius, Platina with the other new members was deprived of his office. Angered by this, he wrote a pamphlet insolently demanding from the pope the recall of his restrictions. When called upon to justify himself he answered with insolence and was imprisoned in the Castle of Sant' Angelo, being released after four months on condition that he remain at Rome. In February 1468, with about twenty other humanists, he was again imprisoned on suspicion of heresy and of conspiring against the life of the pope...After his release on July 7, 1469, he expected to be again in the employ of Paul II, who, however, declined his services. Platina threatened vengeance and executed his threat, when at the suggestion of Sixtus IV he wrote his Vitæ Pontificum Platinæ historici liber de vita...<!- [Bookseller: Alibris]

London: Printed by John Streater, James Flesher and Henry Twyford, Assigns of Richard Atkins, and Edward Atkins, 1671. [xxii], 436 (i.e. 426), [2] pp. Main text in parallel columns. 12mo. (3" x 5-1/4"). Contemporary sheep, blind rules to boards and spine. Light rubbing to extremities, small chip to head of spine, rear joint just starting at head, front hinge cracked but secure, rear pastedown loose and worn around the edges. Clean tear to fore edges of a few leaves with no loss to text. Offsetting to margins of endleaves, toning to a few text leaves, interior otherwise fresh. Ex-private library. Armorial bookplate of the library of the Earls of Macclesfield to front pastedown, the library's small embossed stamp to title page, small shelf labels to spine. A lovely unsophisticated copy. * First edition with parallel texts in English and Law French. Written during the reign of Edward IV [1442-1483] and first published around 1481, Littleton's Tenures is probably the most revered treatise in the history of the common law. Much admired for its learning and style, it is concerned with tenures and other issues relating to real property. This venerable work, which Coke called "the ornament of the Common Law, and the most perfect and absolute work that ever was written in any humane science," is considered a landmark because it renounced the principles of Roman law (and Latin) in favor of guidelines and doctrines drawn from the Year Books and, when necessary, hypothetical cases.

AQUINAS, Thomas
Super quarto libro sententiarum
1481 1481 AQUINAS, Thomas. Super quarto libro sententiarum. Venice: Johannes de Colonia, Jenson et Socii, [Johannes Herbort de Seligenstadt] 24 June 1481. Small folio (8 by 12-1/2 inches), contemporary full paneled brown calf, raised bands, elaborately blind-tooled covers, metal catches. Collation: a-z10 A-H10 (a1 and H10 blank). $22,000. 15th-century Venetian printing of Thomas Aquinas' early and important theological commentary, with much rubrication, decoration, and a beautifully illuminated 16-line initial letter, printed in a Jensonian type, bound in elaborately blind-tooled contemporary calf. A handsome incunable. Peter Lombard, a chief precursor to medieval scholasticism, wrote his Four Books of Sentences in the mid-12th century to deal "in an orderly fashion with the main themes of Christian theology. It eventually became the basic textbook for the teaching of theology in the universities. Therefore the works of major scholastic theologians usually include a Commentary on the Sentences" (González I:314-15). Aquinas' commentary on Lombard, written circa 1250, stands among "his first important theological writings" and is one of "the immediate forerunners of the Summa Theologica," his masterpiece (Catholic Encyclopedia). The work was printed as early as 1469 by Peter Schöffer in Mainz (Proctor 87). The first leaf of text in this printing features a beautiful, 16-line initial "M" illuminated in gold, filled with light green and mauve foliate decoration surrounding an armorial shield. Delicate white flowers on blue and red backgrounds decorate the corners of the "M," and intricate red and blue foliate branches frame the first column. Red and blue marginal extensions, lombardic initials and paragraph marks embellish the entire Latin text, which is set in a Jensonian type. Johannes Herbort's printing establishment was in its day one of the largest in Europe, and took possession of Nicolaus Jenson's typefaces after the printing pioneer's death in 1480 (Jenson's device, in red, follows the colophon). The volume is bound in contemporary paneled Westphalian calf, with the central panels of both covers divided into lozenges and triangles by intersecting triple fillets, filled with such emblems as lions rampant and the Agnus Dei. BMC V:301. Goff T171. Hain 1484. Proctor 4680. See Thacher 337. Contemporary and later Latin annotations. Ink stamps. Library bookplate. Embossed library stamp to a2, slightly affecting text; leaves a2 and c10 with minor marginal paper restoration. Repair to leaf E8. Scattered dampstaining. Minor worming to first several and last several gatherings and to boards. Expected wear to boards. Large fragment of spine present, with library labels; bands still strong.

PHILELPHUS, Franciscus,
Orationes... cum quibusdam aliis eiusdem Operis. No pl., no printer (Basle, Amerbach, not after 1498). 4to. Rom. type. 182 lvs. 40 lines. Old green boards.
. Copy with good margins of this intereating work with Philelphus speeches at funerals and marriages, various speeches including 8 speeches to the Pope Sixtus, his "Rhetorices Aristotelis ad Alexander de causis civilibus praecepta" and "Plutarchi Cheronensis Apothegmata ad Trajanum" and "Plutarchi Laconica". Both the Aristotle and the Plutarch are translated by Francesco Filelfo (1398-1481), Italian humanist. He conducted his early studies in grammar, rhetoric and Latin at Padua where he acquired so great a reputation that he was invited to teach at Venice. Residence at Constantinople as secretary to the Venetian consul-general enabled him to learn Greek. Returning to Italy, he settled in Florence, but a violent animosity developed between him and Cosimo de" Medici, causing him to move first to Siena and then to Milan. Here he celebrated his princely patrons in panegyrics and abused their enemies with invective. Finally, as and old man of seventy-seven he went to Rome, but managed to upset Sixtus IV and had to leave the city. He died in Florence at the age of 83, where he had been invited to profess Greek. Filelfo was undoubtedly one of the greatest literary personalities of the 15th century, he had numerous disciples and left important works in poetry and prose. - The copy at Leipzig is dated 1498 by the rubricator.

Loget (procureur-generale of Aguesseau, by inheritance), Joseph Barrois, sold by him to Bertram, 4th Earl of Ashburnham (his sale, Sotheby's 1901, to Belin), sold at Sotheby's 9 Dec 1909, Kundig of Geneva, thence to William Foyle in 1948, his sale, Christie's, 11 July 2000, to H.P. Kraus. An artistically lovely manuscript, commissioned by or for Jean Budé with an outstanding provenance. In the beautiful opening miniatures, St Paul is shown with his sword (in the first), enthroned against a backdrop of fleurs-de-lys, the symbol of French kingship, entrusting a messenger boy - in fact a depiction of Jean Budé's even more celebrated son Guillaume who was then 14 - with a recognisably mediaeval document with seal; through the open window, the messenger is then shown carrying his charge over fields to the the far-away land of the Galatians. The Galatians are gathered in the temple, listening to a richly-dressed orator, labelled 'Le Juif', presumably one of the Jewish converts to Christianity preaching against St Paul's teaching. The sense of distance and 'otherness' are represented subtly in the gold frame surrounding the miniatures, but also directly - St Paul is presented seated beneath a gothic frame of small-vaulted arches, while the Galatians are shown beneath an oriental dome. Each miniature is also, unusually, very thoroughly labelled. The rustic character of the carefully-rendered faces and the attentive details of dress reflect the Northern French, probably Parisian, origins of the miniature. The rich merchant by the messenger's side in the second miniature almost certainly represents Jean Budé, for or by whom, the ms was commissioned. The framing, style, and inscriptions of the miniature would suggest that it was produced by an artist near to the Maître François in Paris, where Budé obtained many of his important collection of mss. The present artist is perhaps connected with one of the two individual hands to emerge from this milieu around the 1480s; the Master of the Cardinal of Bourbon and the Master of Jacques de Besanço [Bookseller: Sokol Books Ltd.
