Keiner �nderung unterlag in dem jetzt publizierten Band die Problematik der vor dem Krakauer Oberhof in erster, zweiter oder dritter Instanz verhandelten Sachen. Alle diese Sachen, deren Zahl in diesem Band �ber 1.100 Eintr�ge betr�gt, best�tigen die ungebrochen dominierende Rolle unseres Gerichts in der Rechtsprechung des deutschen Rechts in Altpolen. Beide B�nde enthalten zusammen beinahe dreitausend Dekrete und bieten damit den deutschen und polnischen Rechtshistorikern eine wertvolle und unersetzliche Grundlage f�r Forschungen �ber das deutsche Recht in Polen in der zweiten H�lfte des 15. und zu Anfang des 16. Jahrhunderts. Im Unterschied zum fr�heren Band lassen die hier ver�ffentlichten Dekrete des Krakauer Oberhofs unter anderem eine sinkende Aktivit�t der polnischen Oberh�fe des deutschen Rechts um die Wende des Mittelalters zur Neuzeit erkennen, wie sie auch zeigen, da� die deutsche Sprache gegen Ende des Mittelalters in den Kanzleien der polnischen Gerichte des deutschen Rechts au�er Gebrauch gekommen zu sein scheint.       [Bookseller: Antiquariat-Versandbuchhandel Uwe L�b]  3.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   Antoninus Sanctus SUMMAE.Sanctus.

A second edition with the other parts of the opera was not printed until it was accomplished by Anton Koberger in Nuremburg.

The book had great influence for hundreds of years and twenty editions alone were completed in Nuremberg and Venice to 1740 but most copies are incomplete.

Twelve capital initials nicely rubricated in blue. Beautifully printed with wide margins. A very early example of Dante's classic work. Last two sheets are still joined but all sheets comprising Canto XXIII are present. Printed on good Renaissance paper. Some brown age spotting and staining, including in the inside margin which also shows some soiling on two of the sheets. Still, an overall attractive collection of five incunabula pages forming a complete sub-text. Notes in very old hand, ink turned brown, at bottom of last page. The first Florentine edition of the Comedy appeared 30 August 1481. A product of the cultural circle surrounding Lorenzo (Il Magnifico) de' Medici (1449-1492), this edition was conceived as a polemical work. It was directed towards other Italian centers which had produced editions of the poem, especially those of Venice (1477) and Milan (1478). This monumental book represented the Florentine attempt to reclaim the great poet who, since the 14th century, had become a classic throughout Italy. The text appeared together with a completely new commentary authored by the most authoritative literary critic then teaching in Florence, Cristoforo Landino. Landino's interest for the language of Florence is clear throughout, and independently of Dante, Landino's commentary remains a rich linguistic source in its own right for the Renaissance language of Florence. Moreover, Landino's humanistic commentary distinguishes itself from its predecessors by its appreciation for the variety, vivacity and compelling realism of Dante's style. In this Canto, Dante is saved by Virgil from the demons who pursue them. In the sixth chasm are punished the Hypocrites, who are condemned to pace continually round the gulf under the pressure of cloaks which are gilt without, but lined inside with lead.

Al contropiatto anteriore ex-libris inciso del vescovo di Durham Shute Barrington. Al contropiatto posteriore un foglio di carta recante una nota bibliografica manoscritta del secolo xviii in francese, relativa all�edizione. Rarissima editio princeps dei Salmi e prima edizione bilingue di un testo sacro mai stampata. Il volume contiene il libro dei Salmi in greco e la traduzione latina di Giovanni Crastoni, frate carmelitano e umanista originario di Piacenza. Questa edizione rientra in quel programma di promozione delle letteratura greca intrapreso dalla tipografia milanese di Bono Accursio - che nella realizzazione di questo progetto si avvalse tra l�altro pi� volte della collaborazione del Crastoni - e che -oltre alla presente stampa � include pubblicazioni come l�editio princeps di Esopo del 1478, quella del volume contenente gli Idilli di Teocrito e Le Opere e i Giorni di Esiodo, del 1481 circa. Sebbene i suoi lavori non siano privi di alcune imprecisioni e ingenuit�, grazie alla sua attivit� di grammatico e lessicografo il Crastoni detiene il merito di essere stato tra i primi ad aprire la strada allo studio della lingua e della letteratura greca in Italia e a dedicarsi in maniera sistematica alla compilazione e alla pubblicazione degli strumenti necessari per l�apprendimento e lo studio del greco. Il frate piacentino fu infatti il primo a compilare un vocabolario greco - stampato nel 1478 - che divenne ben presto un manuale indispensabile, tanto da venire impresso ben sei volte in epoca incunabola. �The first printed Greek liturgical book was another product of the association between Accorsi and Crastoni (who was responsible for the Latin translation). The ?????????, dated �20th September 1481�, was published twice more in the fifteenth century, once by Laonikos and Alexandros in Venice (1486) and once by the Aldine press in an edition prepared by Ioustinos Dekadyos (c. 1494). It is odd that an Italian humanist should have taken the trouble to publish a Greek liturgical book in a place like Milan, where the Greek community was hardly big enough to give it much likelihood of commercial success - unless it was intended as a linguistic aid for students of Greek, as it is known to have been used later. Crastoni�s dedicatory preface, in Latin, is addressed to the Venetian theologian Ludovico Donato, Bishop of Bergamo, in recognition of his contribution to the accomplishment of the project. Proctor notes certain peculiarities in the types used for the Psalter: the Preface is printed in a different Latin fount from the one used in the text, and besides the new Greek fount used in Accorsi�s four previous publications we find yet another original fount different in size but similar, though somewhat more archaic, in style. The blocks used for these Greek words inserted in the Latin text were presumably cut specially to match the size of the Latin characters� (K. Sp. Staikos, Charta of Greek Printing, p. 149). First exceedengly rare bilingual biblical imprint, with the text of the Psalms in Greek and - in a parallel column - its Latin translation by the Italian humanist Johannes Crastonus. The book was printed by the Milanese press of Bonus Accursius and, according to Proctor, some copies of this edition have his name on the colophon. Nice copy, bound in 18th century red morocco, decorated in gold on boards; gilt title on spine, gilt edges, marbled flyleaves.

Folio. 293 x 203mm.. Rubricated throughout with a 5 line red initial 'M' on the first leaf, 14-lie initial 'N; on first text leaf with white decoration. Bartolomeo Platina, originally named Sacchi, was born at Piadena (Platina in Latin), near Mantua, in 1421; he died at Rome, 1481.#11; 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.#11;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 SantO 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 Vit! Pontificum Platin! historici liber de vita Christi ac omnium pontificum qui hactenus ducenti fuere et XX (Venice, 1479). In it he paints his enemy as cruel, and an archenemy of science. For centuries it influenced historical opinions until critical research proved otherwise. In other places party spirit is evident, especially when he treats of the condition of the Church. Notwithstanding, his Lives of the Popes is a work of no small merit, for it is the first systematic handbook of papal history. Platina felt the need of critical research, but shirked the examination of details. By the end of 1474 or the beginning of 1475 Platina offered his manuscript to Pope Sixtus IV; it is still preserved in the Vatican Library. The pope's acceptance may cause surprise, but it is probable he was ignorant of its contents except insofar as it concerned his own pontificate up to November, 1474. After the death of Giandrea Bussi, Bishop of Aleria, the pope appointed Platina librarian with a yearly salary of 120 ducats and an official residence in the Vatican.

Alla carta di guardia anteriore, antica nota di possesso: Della Libreria del Nobil?Uomo Ignazio Compagnoni. 1765. Fedrico Frezzi, nacque e dopo essere entrato fra i Domenicani ed essere stato professore di Teologia a Firenze, Pisa e Bologna, venne nominato Vescovo di Foligno nel 1403. Mor� a Costanza in Germania nel 1416 durante i lavori del Concilio che doveva concludere lo scisma d?occidente, al quale partecipava. L?opera narra in quattro libri il viaggio dell?autore attraverso quattro regni - da cui il titolo ? quello dell?Amore, quello di Satana, dei Vizi e delle Virt�. Il tutto nella celebrazione dei Trinci sotto la cui signoria era in quel momento Foligno. Ad essa � dedicato il capitolo XVIII del I libro Dove si tratta del reggimento della Casa de?Trinci, e della Citt� di Foligno, tanto da far risalire la casata ad un mitico Tros che da Troia sarebbe giunto nella terra fra Topino e Timia e che avrebbe fondato un?altra Troia, un luogo chiamato or Trieve. Unanimente considerto la migliore imitazione della Divina Commedia. Pompeo Campana inizi� la sua attivit� di tipografo nel 1705 ed appena tre anni dopo venne riconosciuto come "stampatore pubblico" e quindi nel 1728 aggiunse anche l?indicazione di Stamperia Camerale. Alla sua morte nel 1743 l?attivit� della tipografia continu� fino al 1781, data dell?ultima pubblicazione edita a Foligno. Tra la sua produzione oltra al primo lunario conosciuto col titolo di Barbanera del 1762, anche gli Avvisi che, iniziati nel 1706, divennero nel 1776 la Gazzetta Universale che continu� ad essere edita a Foligno fino al 1783. Continu� ad essere poi edita sempre colsuo nome ad Asisi da Ottavio Sgariglia che del Campana aveva sposato una figlia. Cecchini G., Mostra dell?arte della stampa umbra, 1943, p. 30, n. 97.

It is the main source of information for all later historical compilations in the Land of Snows. This work is invaluable inasmuch as it establishes a firm chronology of events of Tibetan history and works out in detail the list of the names of famous religious teachers and their spiritual lineage. The work is divided into fifteen chapters, each dedicated to the history of a particular school or sect of Tibetan Buddhism. It provides a comparative study of the chronological data given by T'ang Annals, Blue Annals, and Tun-huang chronicles. The Blue Annals appears to be a faithful reproduction of the list given in the T'ang Annals with minor differences. The book concludes with the portrayal of the origin, etc. of the communities of the four schools.

"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 Vit� Pontificum Platin� historici liber de vita Christi ac omnium pontificum qui hactenus ducenti fuere et XX (Venice, 1479). In it he paints his enemy as cruel, and an archenemy of science. For centuries it influenced historical opinions until critical research proved otherwise. In other places party spirit is evident, especially when he treats of the condition of the Church. Notwithstanding, his Lives of the Popes is a work of no small merit, for it is the first systematic handbook of papal history. Platina felt the need of critical research, but shirked the examination of details. By the end of 1474 or the beginning of 1475 Platina offered his manuscript to Pope Sixtus IV; it is still preserved in the Vatican Library. The pope's acceptance may cause surprise, but it is probable he was ignorant of its contents except insofar as it concerned his own pontificate up to November, 1474. After the death of Giandrea Bussi, Bishop of Aleria, the pope appointed Platina librarian with a yearly salary of 120 ducats and an official residence in the Vatican. He also instructed him to make a collection of the chief privileges of the Roman Church."[CE] Goff P769. Hain/Copinger 13047*. GfT 1152. Pell Ms 9503 (9325). CIBN P-444. Aquilon 542. Arnoult 1208.

A handsome set. * Only edition. 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 land tenure and other issues relating to real property. This venerable work is considered a landmark because it was the first treatise to renounce the principles of Roman law (and Latin) in favor of a set of guidelines and doctrines drawn from the Year Books, and when necessary, hypothetical cases. Houard was a member of Parliament and respected scholar of the customary law of Normandy. His works include the four-volume Dictionnaire Analytique, Historique, Etymologique, Critique et Interpretive de la Coutume de Normandie (1780-82). As the title of Anciennes Loix indicates, Houard believed that Littleton's treatise preserved and developed a body of Norman customary laws dating from the time of the conquest. In effect, it was both a record of early Norman law and a contribution to Norman jurisprudence. Littleton's text is accompanied by a French translation and numerous annotations.

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 affid� questo incarico a Raimondo di Pe?afort, gi� maestro presso lo studio di Bologna e in quel tempo cappellano e penitenziere del pontefice; il 5 settembre 1234 Gregorio IX pubblic� la raccolta con la bolla Rex pacificus inviandola alle Universit� 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 autorit�. � probabile che il pontefice intendesse altres� 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 � 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 cio� dalla suprema potest� legislativa con valore di legge per tutta la Chiesa, una e esclusiva perch� il papa abol� tutte le collezioni precedenti a eccezione del decreto di Graziano e tolse valore agli stessi originali delle decretali da lui raccolte, incontr� 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 altres� i commenti di Sinibaldo Fieschi e Niccol� de’Tedeschi.

Il testo e' costituito dalla vita di Terenzio seguita da un'introduzione al genere letterario della commedia; quindi un commento su ognuna delle commedie di Terenzio, ciascuno introdotto da osservazioni sulla struttura, la storia, i personaggi e l'intreccio, il tutto a cura di Elio Donato, il piu' grande grammatico latino del IV secolo, denominato clarissimus per la sua grande fama. La biografia proviene in grande parte dall�opera De Viris illustribus di Caio Svetonio Tranquillo, opera andata perduta, e a questa il Donato vi ha aggiunto degli ampliamenti di fonte ignota Di questa edizione del 1481 ne parla con ammirazione Angelo Poliziano nel suo libro �Le Stanze, le Orfeo e le Rime�' dichiarando di averne visto un esemplare nella libreria della Nunziata di Bologna (v. vol. di G. Barberta di Firenze 1863 a cura di Giosue' Carducci, pag. 170).

Alfred Hartmann hat mittels der Amerbach-Korrespondenz nachgewiesen, dass dieser "eindrucksvolle Druck" nicht wie bisher angenommen aus der Strassburger Presse des Adolf Rusch stammt, sondern aus der von Johann Amerbach in Basel (Geldner I, 63). Rusch und Amerbach, wie auch andere Drucker haben oft f�r den Gro�unternehmer Koberger gedruckt. Johannes (von) Amerbach (14xx -1513) stammte aus Amorbach im Odenwald und studierte als Sch�ler des Johannes a lapide an der Sorbonne (Paris), wurde Magister artium, lebte dann in Venedig (Johannes de Venetiis oder Hans Venediger von Emrebach) und lie� sich 1477 in Basel nieder, wo er es zu Wohlstand brachte. Amerbach war nicht nur ein t�chtiger Meister und gewandter Kaufmann sondern auch ein hochgebildeter Mann, der mit reichen Geistesanlagen und umfassenden Wissen der "gelehrte Buchdrucker" war (Geldner I, 118ff).       [Bookseller: Versandantiquariat Christine Laist]  46.   Check availability:     choosebooks   Link/Print   ANTONINUS SANCTUS PRIMA (ET SECUNDA) PARS SUMMAE.       Venetiis, Leonardus Wild de Ratisbona, 1481 (Pars I); Venetiis, Johannes de Colonia et Johannes Manthen, 1477 (Pars II), 2 parti in un vol. in-folio, importante leg. del tempo uso monastico con i piatti in assicelle ricoperti di pelle decorati a secco tramite rombi e 7 file alternate di cerchi col leone rampante e piccoli rombi col giglio; dorso a cinque nervi (con abili restauri alle cerniere ed alle cuffie).

"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 Vit� Pontificum Platin� historici liber de vita Christi ac omnium pontificum qui hactenus ducenti fuere et XX (Venice, 1479). In it he paints his enemy as cruel, and an archenemy of science. For centuries it influenced historical opinions until critical research proved otherwise. In other places party spirit is evident, especially when he treats of the condition of the Church. Notwithstanding, his Lives of the Popes is a work of no small merit, for it is the first systematic handbook of papal history. Platina felt the need of critical research, but shirked the examination of details. By the end of 1474 or the beginning of 1475 Platina offered his manuscript to Pope Sixtus IV; it is still preserved in the Vatican Library. The pope's acceptance may cause surprise, but it is probable he was ignorant of its contents except insofar as it concerned his own pontificate up to November, 1474. After the death of Giandrea Bussi, Bishop of Aleria, the pope appointed Platina librarian with a yearly salary of 120 ducats and an official residence in the Vatican. He also instructed him to make a collection of the chief privileges of the Roman Church."[CE] Goff P769. Hain/Copinger 13047*. GfT 1152. Pell Ms 9503 (9325). CIBN P-444. Aquilon 542. Arnoult 1208.

Eleven 10-12 line foliated initials of delicate red and blue heightened with white on a background of burnished gold inset with complex foliage commencing each commentary and ten large illuminated initials 5-9 lines high, of blue and red with delicate liquid gold foliated patterning at the beginning of the first chapter of each. The opening illumination is very lightly rubbed in one or two small areas with very minor paint loss, but extremely attractive, a few tiny wormholes neatly repaired to first and last pages. A very good, clean, fresh and large ms. in handsome late 18th-C straight-grained red morocco gilt, covers delicately framed with gilt rolltools and the spine richly gilt in 6 compartments, lettered in the second and third, attributed to Bozerian. Jean Bud�'s partially erased ms ex-libris dated 1481 on fol. 190, his arms at foot of first page, Nicolas Thoynard of Orleans' 17th-C ms ex-libris on second preliminary leaf, 'hic liber est Nicolai Thoynardi Aurelianensis', from the libraries of ?M. 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 Bud� 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 Bud�'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 Bud�, 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 Ma�tre Fran�ois in Paris, where Bud� 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 Besan�on. The initials in this mss are of particularly high quality, and are distinguished by their precision and care, as well as by the generally superb state of conservation. The very large foliate initials opening each commentary, with their intertwined swirling leaves filling in the space between the letters and the burnished gold frame, are of an earlier style, and very typical of Books of Hours from Northern France. It is unusual to find them combined with the much more contemporary initials at the beginning of each first chapter which - in their use of liquid (rather than burnished) gold and silver - reflect the styles of Bud�'s own day and show remarkable delicacy and refinement. St Paul had founded the Christian community in Galatia, which after his departure tended to the teaching that in order to become a Christian, one must first undertake to live according to Talmudic Law, a belief St Paul decisively rejected. In his Epistle, he rebukes the Galatians, and calls them back to his guiding principles (which was based on the idea of justification by faith and works, and not by adherence to the Law). The author of the text, here identified only as 'Haymon' is now thought to be the scholar Haymo of Auxerre, who died in 865/6, and who was St Remy's tutor. This exegetical work was very popular throughout the middle ages, and was printed in 1519 (Strasbourg), 1528 and 1529 (Cologne). (Over a quarter of the manuscripts in Jean Bud�'s extensive library were theological). The text opens with a list of contents; the volume comprises St Paul's Epistles to the Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians,Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, and Hebrews (textually by far the longest part). The ms was commissioned by or for Jean Bud� (c.1430-1502), notaire et secretaire du roy and audiencier de la chancellerie de France under successive monarchs, and father of the pre-eminent French Renaissance scholar Guillaume Bud�, "le plus savant homme de France au commencement du seizieme siecle�il fut le restaurateur des lettres grecques, le conseiller fondatuer de coll�ge de France et de la bibilioth�que du Roi" (NBG), as well as being a friend of Erasmus'. "Jean Bud�, son p�re, 'grand acheteur de livres' liborum emacissimus, ainsi qu'il le dit lui-m�me, lui avait l�gu� par testament tous ses manuscrits. La Biblioth�que Nationale tient de cette provenance vingt-sept manuscrits, donts la plupart portent ses armes peintes au commencement du volume. A la fin de chacun se trouve pour l'ordinaire sa signature, pr�c�d�e de cette l�gende �crite tant�t en Latin tant�t en fran�ais: Ce livre apartient � Jean Bud�, conseiller du roi et audiencier de France, fait�ou acquis suit la date de la transcription ou de l'acquisition." Guigard vol II p.102. Bud�'s arms appear on the illuminated title page, however as usual his manuscript colophon has been scraped, though it is still possible to make out the date and the remains of his signature. Jean Clouet's portrait of Guillaume Bud� shows him to be in possession of a very large Gallic nose worthy of Cyrano and shared in the title illumination by the young messenger and probably his earliest portrait. The wealthy merchant by his side is most probably his father, Jean, whose portrait we have been unable to trace. The Bud� family had an extensive and distinguished library, over sixty volumes of which have been identified (see: H. Omont, "Notices sur les collections de manusrits de Jean et Guillaume Bud�" in Bulletin de la societe de l'histoire de Paris et de l'ile de France 12, 1885). Nicolas Thoynarde of Olreans was most probably the seigneur de Villamblain (1629-1706), who was a distinguished scholar, scientist and numismatist, and friend to the book collector Emeric Bigot and the Royal Librarian, Jacques Dupuy. Many of his books were left to the Bibliotheque Royale. Its next documented owner was the French ms collector Joseph Barrois, whose extensive collection was purchased in 1849 by the fourth Earl of Ashburnham for �6,000. Ashburnham was "one of the greatest and most ardent of English book collectors" (Fletcher, English Book Collectors), and his library "ranked among the first in the kingdom" (ibid.). At the time of his death, his collection included 4,000 mss; much of the Barrois collection went to the Bibliotheque Nationale. Jean-Claude Bozerian was the most fashionable Paris binder of the turn of the 19thC, and the present binding would certainly have been one of his de-luxe productions. An altogether luxurious book.

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 land tenure and other issues relating to real property. This venerable work is considered a landmark because it was the first treatise to renounce the principles of Roman law (and Latin) in favor of a set of guidelines and doctrines drawn from the Year Books, and when necessary, hypothetical cases. Houard was a member of Parliament and respected scholar of the customary law of Normandy. His works include the four-volume Dictionnaire Analytique, Historique, Etymologique, Critique et Interpretive de la Coutume de Normandie (1780-82). As the title of Anciennes Loix indicates, Houard believed that Littleton's treatise preserved and developed a body of Norman customary laws dating from the time of the conquest. In effect, it was both a record of early Norman law and a contribution to Norman jurisprudence. Littleton's text is accompanied by a French translation and numerous annotations.

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 affid� questo incarico a Raimondo di Pe?afort, gi� maestro presso lo studio di Bologna e in quel tempo cappellano e penitenziere del pontefice; il 5 settembre 1234 Gregorio IX pubblic� la raccolta con la bolla Rex pacificus inviandola alle Universit� 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 autorit�. � probabile che il pontefice intendesse altres� 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 � 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 cio� dalla suprema potest� legislativa con valore di legge per tutta la Chiesa, una e esclusiva perch� il papa abol� tutte le collezioni precedenti a eccezione del decreto di Graziano e tolse valore agli stessi originali delle decretali da lui raccolte, incontr� 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 altres� i commenti di Sinibaldo Fieschi e Niccol� de�Tedeschi.
