Jacobus de Voragine:
Legenda aurea, deutsch: Der Heiligen Leben. Winterteil. (GWM11424, C 6504) (Die heilige Agnes von Rom)
|
Strassburg, Johann Prüß, 1483 - 85. Type 1.. Einspaltiges, 40-zeiliges O-Inkunabelblatt mit einem Holzschnitt (7,6 x 6,7 cm) auf festem Papier. Winziger Sammlerstempel, heller Wasserrand, drei kl. Einrisse im Rand, etwas fingerfleckig in der Ecke und kl. handschriftliche Seitenzahl von alter Hand (190). Rotgestrichene Majuskeln und blaues Rubrikzeichen. Blattgröße: 19,9 x 28,3 cm. Incunable woodcut leaf.. Seltenes Inkunabelblatt! Der Gedenktag der heiligen Agnes von Rom ist am 21. Januar. Keine der Märtyrerinnen genoss schon früh solche Verehrung wie Agnes. Schon der Märtyrerkalender von 354 und Ambrosius von Mailand berichteten erste Züge ihrer Legende. Diese betont die Schönheit und Glaubenssicherheit der zwölfjährigen Agnes. Der Werbung des Sohnes des Stadtpräfekten trat die vornehme Römerin ablehnend gegenüber mit der Begründung, sie sei schon verlobt. Mehrfache Nachfrage des Jünglings beantwortete sie schließlich damit, ihr Verlobter sei Jesus Christus. Agnes wurde nun vor Gericht gestellt, aber alle Vorstellungen, Bitten und Drohungen des Richters konnten ihre Standhaftigkeit nicht erschüttern. Da befahl er, sie nackt auszuziehen und zur Prostitution zu zwingen. Aber ihre langen Locken umhüllten sie wie ein dichter Mantel, ein Engel brachte ihr ein Lichtgewand, von dem das ganze Haus durchstrahlt wurde. Der Sohn des Präfekten suchte sie mit seinen Gesellen im Bordell auf, geblendet wichen sie zurück; er selbst fiel, vom bösen Geist erwürgt, tot um, als er Agnes berühren wollte. Durch ihr Gebet ins Leben zurückgerufen, ließ er sie als Zauberin denunzieren. Der Präfekt wagte weder, sie zu retten, noch sie zu verurteilen, ging außer Landes und überließ sie einem anderen Richter. Dieser ließ sie im Stadion des Domitian in ein großes Feuer werfen, aber die Flammen wichen vor ihr zurück. Da befahl er, dass man ein Schwert durch ihre Kehle stoße. Eltern und Freunde begruben Agnes in einer heute nach ihr benannten Katakombe an der Via Nomentana und hielten die Totenwacht. In der achten Nacht sahen sie einen Reigen schöner Jungfrauen, in ihrer Mitte Agnes in goldenem Kleid, den Ring ihres Verlöbnisses mit Christus am Finger, ein weißes Lamm zu ihrer Rechten, das Lamm, auf das Johannes der Täufer und die Apokalypse hinwiesen. Agnes wird schon seit dem 4. Jahrhundert als Märtyrerin verehrt. Um 350 wurde über ihrem Grab eine von Konstantia gestiftete Kirche erbaut; sie stand unmittelbar neben dem Mausoleum der Kaisertochter. Die heutige Kirche Sant' Agnese fuori le mura an etwas anderer Stelle geht auf einen Bau zurück, der im 7. Jahrhundert von Papst Honorius erneuert wurde und seitdem unverändert ist. In Kunstwerken wird Agnes oft mit einem Lamm dargestellt. Die Kirche in Rom segnet jedes Jahr an ihrem Festtag zwei Schafe, aus deren Wolle dann das Pallium hergestellt und vom Papst an die Erzbischöfe als Insignie ihrer Rechtsprechung überreicht wird. (www.heiligenlexikon.de) Der italienische Prediger und Schriftsteller Jacobus de Voragine (Viraggio) aus dem heutigen Varazze bei Genua lebte von 1230 - 1298. Der Dominikaner Jacobus de Voragine fügte aus der Bibel, den Apokryphen, verschiedenen Akten sowie überlieferten Geschichten, die Lebensgeschichten der Heiligen zur Legenda Aurea. Das Werk in volkstümlicher lateinischer Sprache geschrieben, wurde zum populärsten religiösen Volksbuch des Mittelalter. Die deutschen Übersetzungen der Legenda Aurea wurden das Leben der Heiligen oder Der Heiligen Leben genannt. Zahlreiche Anzeichen deuten heute darauf hin, dass zwischen 1384 und 1421 im Umkreis des Dominikanerordens in Nürnberg eine neue Kompilationen der Heiligenlegenden entstand, die unter Einbeziehung der Legenda aurea, stärker auf den deutschsprachigen Glaubensraum bezogen waren. So wurden in diesem Legendar Bonifazius, Gallus, Kilian oder Magnus von Füssen aufgenommen. Dieser deutsche Legendar übertraf in seiner Verbreitung die Leganda Aurea.

CNOB. [Strasbourg, Johannes Knobloch, 1524] Superb sammelband in an original binding of three Reformation publications, the first of which is the only Strasbourg edition of a collection of Luther's three most important and confrontational anti-Papal writings: On the Babylonian Captivity, On the Revelation of the Antichrist, and On the Freedom of Christian Man. Bound after is another collection of two Luther tracts, On the Establishing of Ministries and Formula of the Mass, also in a first Strasbourg edition. The last book in the volume is a second Strasbourg edition of Johan Bugenhagen's Postillatio. On The Babylonian Captivity, possibly Luther's most furious attack on the Church, focused on the dogma of the Seven Sacraments. First of all, he thought there should be only three---Eucharist, Baptism, and Penance---and that these had been entirely corrupted by the church. The one that Luther felt the Pope twisted and misunderstood the most was the Eucharist: He argued that Leo X (whom, in the same treatise, Luther unambiguously accused of being the Antichrist), should not disallow the people's participation. Naturally, the Pope did not like this. Why it took him a year to declare the book illegal is not recorded. In his pamphlet De Instituendis Ministris (On the Establishing of Ministries), Luther is even more inciting---he writes (addressing specifically a Bohemian laity in Prague) that church congregations don't really need ministers at all; that the word of God permits ordinary followers to perform baptisms, administer the Eucharist, even absolve sins. Luther later hedged, realizing that some spiritual leadership was good and necessary---he probably also realized that he was becoming too sharp a thorn in the powerful and fleshy Papal side. The Postillatio was probably included in our volume because of Bugenhagen's history of repudiating, and then embracing, Luther's hypotheses in On the Babylonian Captivity. Bugenhagen was an effective---almost zealous---reformer, not to mention Luther's counselor and great friend---it was to Bugenhagen that Luther willed the care of his widow and children. He was also, for lack of a better phrase, the best man at Luther's wedding. In 1531 Bugenhagen met with some renown when he attempted to exorcise the Devil from a young girl. The internet informs me that the exorcist in the 1976 film "The Omen" was also named Bugenhagen. Luther flugschriften, even non-polemical ones, are becoming rare; surviving sammelbands especially so, as many have been broken up by dealers over the years in order to sell the tracts individually. That three important Reformation books have survived intact in their first binding is almost unknown in the present market. Octavo 167 x 107mm. I: A-S8, T10 =154 ff. II: A-E8 =40 ff. III: A-D8 =32 ff. All three books complete, including final blank of De Instituendis. Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, with a parchment lettering piece in the head compartment reading Lutherus | Opuscula. Lacks clasp. Covers soiled and worn, extremities abraded. Title of the first book artlessly and incompetently colored with various dry pigments, some of which have struck through to verso; an old signature has been erased, smudging the color and obscuring three letters of the date (renewed in manuscript); woodcut trimmed at fore-edge. Three worm galleries: a single hole, touching text of first 32 ff. of book I; a larger hole near the first, but not touching text, disappears at the 46th leaf of book I; a gallery in the tail fore-corner margin, not near text, extends from P6 of book I to B1 of book II. Head fore-corner of C8 in book I cut away (mended with no loss of text, though a stain surrounds the mend). Leaves uniformly toned; scattered staining; some foxing in book II; head fore-corners of the last 2/3 of the book shallowly creased; final gathering somewhat dampstained. Some deckles preserved. §I.

Strasburg: [Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg], 18 December 1495. Two folio volumes , 11.5 x 8.5 inches. Fourth edition. Volume I: 1[8], 2-4[6], a8, b-g8/6, h6, i-z8/6, A-M6/8, N-Q6, R-Z8/6, AA6, BB8, CC-DD6, EE8. 380 of 380 leaves, including the final blank, EE8. Volume II: A8 (lacking the title-page, A1), B-C6, aa8, bb-qq8/6, rr-tt6, vv-zz8/6, AA-PP8/6, QQ-SS6, TT-ZZ8/6, Aaa-Eee6 (lacking the final blank, Eee6). 368 of 370 leaves. A full-paged woodcut of the Lignum Vitae, or Tree of Life, embellished with fifteenth century coloring is printed on the verso of the title. A mellow golden ochre wash has been neatly applied to the tree itself, the PopeOs robes, and to the halos of Christ, Saint John the Baptist and the Pope. RubricatorOs red ink has been used to outline the halos, to color the flowers sprouting from the tree, to highlight the banners that entwist the crucifixion, and the PopeOs robes. This matte, opaque ink is also used to great effect to illustrate the bleeding wounds all over ChristOs body. The same woodcut is repeated in volume two, without hand coloring. On leaf 339 the full-paged woodcut of BonaventureOs De Sex Alis Cherubin, or Six Wings of the Seraphim is printed. This is a large copy, with deckle edges in evidence on all three sides of the leaves throughout both volumes. It is one and a quarter inch taller and five-eighthOs of an inch wider than the British Museum copy. Bound uniformly in full fifteenth-century alum-tawed pigskin bindings over wooden boards, these two volumes are in perfect condition. Central bosses have been removed on both volumes, but all sixteen corner pieces and both sets of catches and clasps are present, in perfect working order. The contents have been rubricated throughout. The matching bindings are tooled in blind on both boards. The tools, including the small banner with "Maria," the trefoil and the border plate with interlocking hearts, are used together on other fifteenth century German bindings created at the monastery of the Minor Friars of Bamberg. These particular tools were in use on printed books and manuscripts produced between 1471 and 1529. See EBDB s005957 on the Einband Datenbank at http://db.hist-einband.de/. Kyriss catalogues these tools under number 006, where the larger trefoil is 006.01, the small crown is 006.02, the Maria banner is 006.03, and the interlocking heart border plate is 006.04. . These two volumes were originally printed with a woodcut image of BonaventureOs OLignum VitaeO on the verso of each title-page. The title-page has been removed from the second volume, but is present in the first volume, perfectly preserved, and strikingly colored in a contemporary hand. Another print from the same cut appears in the second volume opposite leaf 333, uncolored.#11;BonaventureOs OTree of Life,O a structural mnemonic devised to guide Christian meditation on the humanity of Christ, was an illustrated element that accompanied one of his most popular and enduring treatises. In this image the tree is also the crucifix. The Tree first appears in thirteenth century manuscripts. See for example the Beinecke LibraryOs manuscript MS 416. In this fifteenth century woodcut version, the tree has twelve branches, each lettered from OaO through OmO. OPicture in your imagination a tree. Suppose next that from the trunk of this this tree spring forth twelve branches, adorned with leaves, flowers, and fruits. [E] Let there be twelve fruits, endowed with all delights and conforming to every taste, offered to GodOs servants as food they may eat forever, being fed but never sated.O The twelve branches are organized into three groups of fundamental Christian mysteries: the origin, the passion, and the glorification. Each of the mysteries is further subdivided into four main devotional ideals, sprouting from the main branch. Each of these four is numbered and suspended in a little orb. The twelve main branches are: 1) Illustrious Ancestry; 2) Humility of His Life; 3) Sublimity of Virtue; 4) Plenitude of Piety; 5) Confidence in Peril; 6) Patience in Injuries; 7) Constancy in Tortures; 8) Victory over Death; 9) News of the Resurrection; 10) Sublimity of the Ascension; 11) Justice of Judgment; and 12) Eternity of the Kingdom.#11;The flowing scrolls at the base of this living cross are inspired by the verses from Revelations 22:2, that link the crucifixion to the prophesied tree of life to come. OSuppose its roots to be watered by an eternally gushing fountain that becomes a great and living river, a river which spread out in four channels to irrigate the whole garden of the Church.O (Bonaventure)#11;The second full-paged woodcut, printed on leaf 339, at the end of volume two, is another mnemonic devised by Bonaventure in the 1260Os. In April 1263 Bonaventure composed his OSix Wings of the Seraphim,O as a treatise for religious superiors. Each of the six wings stands for a moral imperative that must be embodied by all church leaders. The virtues are: a zeal for justice, kindness, patience, living an exemplary life, exercising provident discernment, and devoting oneself to God. The angel depicted is the Seraph Francis. Here is how Bonaventure used the image of Francis. The two lower wings represent Ovestigia,O signs in the physical or natural world that indicate the existence of God, and correspondences between the sensory abilities of animals and people that point to the work of God. The two middle wings of the Seraph remind the reader to see God in His Oimage,O that is, in other people who seem to embody divinity. These special signs can be OnaturalO or Oreformed by grace.O The two highest wings are concerned with seeing God himself, through faith and reason. The inclusion of these fascinating woodcuts adds considerably to the artistic and intellectual value of this book.#11;OIn the OPrinter of the 1483 Jordanus de QuedlinburgO we come to an anonymous press of unusual activity and with a marked fondness for exactly dating books, and for attaining this exactness by reference to ecclesiastical festivals rather than the ordinary days of the month. As regards its output two important discoveries have been made. In five of this printerOs few undated books his types are found to measure 99 mm. These books agree also in having no title-pages, and it appears certain that they preceded the OJordanusO of 1483 from which the press takes its name, and that the 99 mm type in that year was filed down to 91 mm. [Further,] careful examination of a series of books in this printerOs type [BMC type 80] proves conclusively that the differences which have been found in specimens of it arise in the ordinary course of the replenishment of the fount, and that its division into two (ProctorOs types 4 and 5) was erroneous.O (BMC)#11;OBonaventure presents a marked contrast to his great contemporaries, Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon. While these may be taken as representing respectively physical science in its infancy, and Aristotelian scholasticism in its most perfect form, he brings before us the mystical and Platonizing mode of speculation. [E] To him the purely intellectual element, though never absent, is of inferior interest when compared with the living power of the affections or the heart.O (EB, 1910, v. 4, p. 198)#11;OBut more important than any group of positions is his effort to orient philosophy towards theology, and theology toward mystical union. Without such an effort, philosophy is merely an outgrowth of worldly curiosity, placing man on Othe infinite precipice.O In following the controversies of the thirteenth century it is important to remember that for men such as Bonaventure, the price of philosophical error is not merely confusion; it is also the ultimate disaster of damnation.O (Hyman & Walsh) #11;

The Rabelais Encyclopedia
|
Greenwood Press. New Please note that deliveries to addresses in the UK and Europe will be in 4-14 business days. Other countries should refer to Alibris standard times. The French humanist Rabelais (ca. 1483-1553) was the greatest French writer of the Renaissance and one of the most influential authors of all time. His Gargantua and Pantagruel, written in five books between 1532 and 1553, rivals the works of Shakespeare and Cervantes in terms of artistry, complexity of ideas and expression, and historical importance. Rabelais is read in numerous courses in French Literature, Renaissance Studies, and Western Civilization, and his writings continue to attract the attention of scholars and general readers alike. The first work of its kind, this encyclopedia is a comprehensive guide to his life and writings. Included are several hundred alphabetically arranged entries by expert contributors. These entries discuss his characters, his overt and veiled references to historical and Renaissance figures and events, his literary and philosophical allusions, his major themes, and the key events and influences that shaped his career. The entries cover such topics as education, religion, censors and censorship, humanism, death, and warfare. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia closes with a selected, general bibliography. ISBN10: 0313310343.

Rome Eucharius Silber 1483-1490 - In-4 de 20 ff. ; cartonnage moderne. Klebs, 519.1 ; Wellcome, 3244 ; Goff, H-278 ; Hain-Copinger, *8669 ; BMC, IV, 122 ; Proctor, 3943 ; Norman (Grolier), pp. 8-9 ; Contemporaries of Erasmus, I, p. 193. Rare édition incunable de ce recueil de textes hippocratiques, édité par l'humaniste italien Andrea Brenta (Padoue, v. 1454-1484). Parmi les sept traités contenus dans le volume, dont certains paraissent ici pour la première fois, on trouve le célèbre "serment d'Hippocrate", texte clef de l'éthique médicale occidentale. Le De natura hominis, qui donne son titre au recueil, introduit en médecine la notion de physiopathologie et contient la première formulation de la théorie des humeurs, notion centrale de la pensée médicale jusqu'au XVIIe siècle. Le De natura est suivi par le De victu, consacré à la diététique. La présence du "serment d'Hippocrate", dont on a ici l'une des premières versions imprimées, rend ce volume particulièrement précieux. C'est au recto de l'avant-dernier feuillet que se trouve le Iusiurandum ? plus connu sous le nom de "serment d'Hippocrate"?, dont la publication, dès les premiers temps de l'imprimerie, "secured for it a central place in the European medical consciousness" (Norman). Ce texte fondateur, probablement formulé au IVe siècle avant Jésus-Christ, "est, par la beauté de sa forme et par l'élévation des idées, un des plus précieux monuments de la littérature grecque ; c'est la pièce la plus ancienne et la plus vénérable des archives de la famille des Asclépiades" (Pierre Larousse). Mentionné pour la première fois au Ier siècle de notre ère, le serment est resté pratiquement inchangé dans sa formulation latine depuis sa première édition. En France, l'édit de 1707 le rendit obligatoire à tous les médecins, lors de la soutenance de thèse, dans toutes les facultés du royaume. Si l'attribution à Hippocrate et la date précise de son apparition sont sujettes à caution, beaucoup d'incertitude demeure également quant à la date de la première publication imprimée. On s'accorde généralement pour affirmer que la première impression du serment se trouve dans l'ouvrage de Nicolaus Perottus, De generibus metrorum (Vérone, Boninus de Boninis, v. 1475-1483), mais la traduction latine par Petrus Paulus Vergerius des Articella Hippocratis, publiée à Venise par Hermannus Liechtenstein le 29 mars 1483, dispute au traité de Perottus la palme de la première édition du serment hippocratique. Quatre autres éditions incunables des Articella ont vu le jour entre 1487 et 1500. Les trois premières éditions incunables du De natura hominis et des textes qui y sont associés, édités par Andrea Brenta, ne sont pas datées. La présente édition a été unanimement attribuée à l'imprimeur Eucharius Silber, et datée entre 1483 et 1490. Une autre édition romaine sans date (cf. Klebs, 519.3) a été attribuée par Goff et IGI à Stephan Plannck, qui l'aurait imprimée autour de 1490. Cependant, le Catalogue des incunables de la Bibliothèque nationale signale qu'elle serait sortie des presses de Georgius Herolt vers 1481 ? ce qui en ferait la première édition du De natura hominis. La troisième édition (Klebs, 519.2) a été, au départ, également attribuée à l'imprimeur Eucharius Silber par Reichling, mais IGI la donne aujourd'hui comme une impression de Plannck exécutée entre 1492 et 1493. Dans l'attente d'investigations typographiques plus approfondies, nous suivrons donc les avis de Goff, Klebs et Hain-Copinger, qui donnent la priorité à cette édition. L'humaniste Andrea Brenta étudia à Padoue avec Demetrius Chalcondyles et accompagna le cardinal Oliviero Carafa à Rome où, après 1475, il enseigna le grec et le latin à l'université. Il fut l'un des premiers érudits à bénéficier, en 1475, de l'ouverture au public de la Bibliothèque Vaticane, où il découvrit les manuscrits hippocratiques grecs dont il donna la version latine. Il mourut prématurément lors d'une épidémie de peste. Son nom est cité dans une lettre envoyée à Erasme par le médecin hongroi [Attributes: Hard Cover]

THUCYDIDES.
Historia belli peloponnesiaci.
|
Johannes (Rubeus) Vercellensis, 1483., Treviso, - In folio (mm. 301x200); 136 carte. Fascicolazione: a-r8. Testo in carattere romano su 47 linee. Sguardie moderne. Piena pergamena di inizi XVIII secolo con tracce di legacci.Editio princeps di Tucidide nella traduzione di Lorenzo Valla, unica edizione del XV secolo. L'edizione in greco verrà eseguita da Aldo Manuzio solo nel 1502. L'opera reca la dedica a papa Niccolò V. Il pontefice, infatti, fu il fautore dell'introduzione a Roma dello spirito rinascimentale, fino ad allora guardato con sospetto negli ambienti ecclesiastici. Oltre ad abbellire la città di monumenti e opere d'arte, Niccolò V favorì gli studi di scienziati e letterati umanisti, per cui si rendeva necessaria l'agevole consultazione di un vasto patrimonio librario. Poiché all'epoca il sapere era del tutto vincolato alla cultura greca, ed essendo difficile e costoso recuperare codici redatti in quella lingua, il papa decise di far eseguire la versione dei codici in suo possesso ai suoi più valenti traduttori. Così, fu su commissione pontificia che Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457), con il compenso di 500 ducati d'oro, eseguì questa traduzione del celebre storico greco; e fu proprio grazie a questa traduzione e alla versione, sempre valliana, delle Historie di Erodoto che la conoscenza della storiografia greca poté diffondersi in Italia e in tutto il resto dell'Europa. Bell'esemplare completo delle carte bianche iniziale e finale, con ampi margini e spazi tipografici per l'inserimento delle capitali miniate. Unici difetti qualche piccola traccia di umidità ai margini delle prime ed ultime carte e al margine inferiore delle carte e7-8; sporco superficiale e qualche macchia alla legatura che mostra i segni dell'uso.

La présence du ""serment d'Hippocrate"", dont on a ici l'une des premières versions imprimées, rend ce volume particulièrement précieux. C'est au recto de l'avant-dernier feuillet que se trouve le Iusiurandum – plus connu sous le nom de ""serment d'Hippocrate""–, dont la publication, dès les premiers temps de l'imprimerie, ""secured for it a central place in the European medical consciousness"" (Norman). Ce texte fondateur, probablement formulé au IVe siècle avant Jésus-Christ, ""est, par la beauté de sa forme et par l'élévation des idées, un des plus précieux monuments de la littérature grecque ; c'est la pièce la plus ancienne et la plus vénérable des archives de la famille des Asclépiades"" (Pierre Larousse). Mentionné pour la première fois au Ier siècle de notre ère, le serment est resté pratiquement inchangé dans sa formulation latine depuis sa première édition. En France, l'édit de 1707 le rendit obligatoire à tous les médecins, lors de la soutenance de thèse, dans toutes les facultés du royaume. Si l'attribution à Hippocrate et la date précise de son apparition sont sujettes à caution, beaucoup d'incertitude demeure également quant à la date de la première publication imprimée. On s'accorde généralement pour affirmer que la première impression du serment se trouve dans l'ouvrage de Nicolaus Perottus, De generibus metrorum (Vérone, Boninus de Boninis, v. 1475-1483), mais la traduction latine par Petrus Paulus Vergerius des Articella Hippocratis, publiée à Venise par Hermannus Liechtenstein le 29 mars 1483, dispute au traité de Perottus la palme de la première édition du serment hippocratique. Quatre autres éditions incunables des Articella ont vu le jour entre 1487 et 1500. Les trois premières éditions incunables du De natura hominis et des textes qui y sont associés, édités par Andrea Brenta, ne sont pas datées. La présente édition a été unanimement attribuée à l'imprimeur Eucharius Silber, et datée entre 1483 et 1490. Une autre édition romaine sans date (cf. Klebs, 519.3) a été attribuée par Goff et IGI à Stephan Plannck, qui l'aurait imprimée autour de 1490. Cependant, le Catalogue des incunables de la Bibliothèque nationale signale qu'elle serait sortie des presses de Georgius Herolt vers 1481 – ce qui en ferait la première édition du De natura hominis. La troisième édition (Klebs, 519.2) a été, au départ, également attribuée à l'imprimeur Eucharius Silber par Reichling, mais IGI la donne aujourd'hui comme une impression de Plannck exécutée entre 1492 et 1493. Dans l'attente d'investigations typographiques plus approfondies, nous suivrons donc les avis de Goff, Klebs et Hain-Copinger, qui donnent la priorité à cette édition. L'humaniste Andrea Brenta étudia à Padoue avec Demetrius Chalcondyles et accompagna le cardinal Oliviero Carafa à Rome où, après 1475, il enseigna le grec et le latin à l'université. Il fut l'un des premiers érudits à bénéficier, en 1475, de l'ouverture au public de la Bibliothèque Vaticane, où il découvrit les manuscrits hippocratiques grecs dont il donna la version latine. Il mourut prématurément lors d'une épidémie de peste. Son nom est cité dans une lettre envoyée à Erasme par le médecin hongrois Jan Antonin, qui estimait qu'Andrea Brenta était, avec Guillaume Cop et Niccolò Leoniceno, l'un des éditeurs les plus fiables d'Hippocrate. Agéable exemplaire, grand de marges. Titre anciennement inscrit à l'encre au recto du premier feuillet (blanc) ; taches et rousseurs légères dans les marges."

Rare édition incunable de ce recueil de textes hippocratiques, édité par l'humaniste italien Andrea Brenta (Padoue, v. 1454-1484). Parmi les sept traités contenus dans le volume, dont certains paraissent ici pour la première fois, on trouve le célèbre "serment d'Hippocrate", texte clef de l'éthique médicale occidentale. Le De natura hominis, qui donne son titre au recueil, introduit en médecine la notion de physiopathologie et contient la première formulation de la théorie des humeurs, notion centrale de la pensée médicale jusqu'au XVIIe siècle.

Legenda Aurea.
|
INCUNABLE LEAF. - Single leaf printed recto and verso. Text in double columns, with 47 lines to a column, text in Latin. with rubrication in red and blue and one blue initial, 3 lines, executed by hand. Strassbourg, Georg Husner, 1483. 26,8 x 19,4 cm. Jacobus de Voragine or Varagine (Italian: Giacomo da Varazze, Jacopo da Varazze (c. 1230-98) was an Italian chronicler and archbishop of Genoa. He was the author of the Golden Legend, one of the most popular religious works of the Middle Ages, a collection of the legendary lives of the greater saints of the medieval church. Jacobus was born in Varagine - today Varazze - on the Ligurian coast between Savona and Genova. His works include sermons on Gospel readings, saints' days, and the Virgin Mary; a chronicle of Genoa; and the Legenda aurea (Golden Legend, also known as the Lombardica historia). This book is a collection of saints' lives, of accounts of events in the lives of Christ and of the Virgin Mary, and of information about holy days and seasons, the whole arranged as readings (Latin: legenda) for the church year. Immensely popular in the Middle Ages, it was translated into all western European languages and gradually much enlarged. Medieval artists found the Golden Legend a storehouse of events and persons to be illustrated. The printer Georg Husner, popularly known as "the Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg," produced several editions of the Legenda aurea, the most famous late medieval/early Renaissance compilation of biographies of Christian saints. The first appeared in 1479, the next in 1480, 1483, 1485. Georg Husner was a goldsmith, who became a leading Strasbourg printer, active during the period 1479 - 1505. He 'struck a new note in providing roman capitals for a text in round gothic'.

Although Giovio (1483 - 1552) took a degree in medicine, he was primarily interested in a literary career, in which he was notably successful, so much so that Leo X gave him the rank of Cavaliere, with a pension. The present work was published first at Paris in 1549, Vita XII Vicecomitum Mediolani Principum, and Domenichi's is the first Italian translation, notable for Bianchi's exceptionally fine engraved portraits.Brunet III, 584.

Festus, Sextus Pompeius
[De verborum significatione] "Augustus locus sanctus ab avium gestu . .. "
|
Bresciae: Boninus de boninis, 18 June, 1483. Folio. Large hand-drawn initial capital letter. 38 lines, 2 columns, a6b8c- d6e8f-h6 [-h6]; 51 leaves,. numbered [1]- 51 (lacking final blank). Modern boards. Washed copy and remarkably clean, except that the final gathering shows faint waterstaining at outer margin and a small unobtrusive stain in the text; overall, a beautiful copy. Copinger 2489; Goff F-146 (2 locations); Oates 2619; Vancil 210 . Sextus Pompeius Festus was a grammarian of the 2nd century A.D., who wrote this abridgement ('epitome') of the now lost encyclopedic dictionary of his contemporary Marcus Verrius Flaccus -- which survives only in fragments and in occasional citations by other authors. Our primary remaining source of this important Latin dictionary is Festus' abridgement, of which there is only one surviving manuscript (mutilated, and consisting of only the letters M-V), and an 8th-century abridgment of Festus by Paul the Deacon. The printed editions from the 15th century, therefore, are of the utmost importance in the history of the transmission of the text. Vancil lists 10: (201-210), beginning with the first edition of Milan, 1471. This edition by Boninus de Bonini is the last edition printed in the 15th century, and apparently the last edition before the rediscovery of the mutilated manuscript was printed in 1559. Goff locates two copies (Hartford Theological Seminary and Newberry Library). RLIN & OCLC both locate one copy (Emory University), catalogued with the inaccurate remark that "this is the second and only remaining portion of the abridgement by Festus of the lost treatise, De verborum significatione of M. Verrius Flaccus, edited and with notes by Fulvio Orsini" - a remark which applies to the 1559 printing, edited by Orsini, from the mutilated manuscript now in Naples. The incunable editions represent the entire alphabet. In this edition, the text of the full alphabet runs through verso H2, ending with "Festi Popmpeii diligenter emendati liber finit". The final leaves (48-51) then recommence with addenda for the letters I through M, with the colophon on the verso of leaf 51. Goff notes the this Boninus de Bonini edition is sometimes found [bound?] with his printing of Nonius Marcellus of the same year, but the date of the latter book is 17 July, 1483 -- a month later than this printing. The two were issued separately. As for the importance of the Festus text, there is currently a "Festus" project to collate and publish the text on a website (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/history/festus) where the editors remark: "For modern readers, there is a critical text, published in the early part of the twentieth century; but no translation or commentary is available and the text itself needs modern re-assessment. Many individual entries from the dictionary have been much debated and play a major role in our understanding of the republican period; but there has been no collection of this bibliography and little attempt to look at the dictionary itself or at the information it provides as a coherent whole." And modern editors have also remarked: "The text, even in its present mutilated state, is an important source for scholars of Roman history. It is a treasury of historical, grammatical, legal and antiquarian learning, providing sometimes unique evidence for the culture, language, political, social and religious institutions, deities, laws, lost monuments, and topographical traditions of ancient Italy."

[Dialogus, and other works]
|
First edition of this Hebrew grammar and Greek reading-book.This copy lacks the title, dedication, and introductory Dialogus on the usefulness of Hebrew and Greek, but the main body of the text, i.e. the Hebrew grammar and the Greek reading-book, is present and complete.The Hebrew grammar (ff. 24-72) marks the first use of Hebrew printing types in France.The Greek reading-book (ff. 72v-90) is a follow-up to the author's Greek grammar, which the same printer, Gilles de Gourmont, had published a year before (coincidentally the first use of Greek types in France). The passages for reading include (with interlinear Latin translation) the opening chapter of St. John's Gospel, the Lord's Prayer, hymns, as also the Hippocratic Oath. The Oath was first printed in Latin at the end of Perotti's De generibus metrorum, Verona, c. 1483. Another version of the Oath by Pietro Paulo Vergerio also occurs at the end of a medical miscellany entitled Articella printed in Venice, 1483. This is apparently its first appearance in the original Greek. As an expression of Hippocratic ideals it has since won world wide currency, and it remains common practice for medical students today to take this Oath of conduct at the completion of their studies. OCLC records two copies, one at Cambridge and the other at University of Illinois. Paris, Gilles de Gourmont, 29 January 1508.

GIOVIO, Paolo.
Venice, Giovanni de’ Rossi, 1557.
|
Second Italian edition of Giovio’s Elogia on political and military men, or book of heroes as he liked to refer to it. A compilation of brief biographical descriptions, including those of such adventurers as Christopher Columbus and Hernan Cortes. The Elogia, in contrast to Giovio’s Histories, were intended to be ‘rhetorical in form: brief, vivid, and memorable’ (Zimmermann, Paolo Giovio p. 206).The individuals described range from Roman emperors to Moorish sultans, with such diverse ‘heroes’ as Attila and Piero Soderini. ‘Renaissance theory accorded biographers the convenience of glossing over bad qualities, [but] Giovio’s lives were rigorously historical. Everyone had bad traits as well as good, he maintained, and ‘adulation’ only invited ridicule’ (ibid., pp. 221–2). ‘In the humanist tradition of history as moral philosophy, the Elogia furnished examples not only of good conduct but of bad, notable examples of the latter being Ezzelino da Romano “with his fearful pallor and viper’s eyes,” Cardinal Alidosi, “an example to posterity of a wicked life,” and Cesare Borgia “who in his bloody character and pitiless cruelty can be likened to the ancient tyrants” ’ (ibid., p. 243).Giovio (1483–1552), bishop of Nocera, was one of the most prolific humanist historians of the sixteenth century. As Zimmerman notes: ‘seldom has the life and times reflected more vividly the nature of an era than with Paolo Giovio. An articulate sounding board for the political, social, and intellectual turmoil of the cinquecento, he resonated with the life of a brilliant, yet troubled epoch. His deep frustrations with princes and politics betrayed the devastation that Italy’s political calamity wrought on the morale of an individual Italian’ (ibid., p. ix). Among his many works, Giovio also wrote three other books of Elogia. These described: deceased men of letters; living men of letters; and, lastly, makers of great works of art and renowned wits. Lodovico Domenichi, translator of this Elogia, was a close friend of Giovio’s and his preferred translator. Giovio believed Domenichi’s translations ‘united fidelity to the original Latin with purity of language and felicity of style. It was gratifying to see his works translated into Italian during his lifetime, Giovio once told Domenichi, although his pleasure was tinged with envy when he reflected that, in Italy, Domenichi’s translations would be more sought-after than his own Latin originals, “which will await praises from other more remote and foreign nations” ’ (ibid., p. 246). His translation of the Elogia was first published in Florence in 1554.Adams G641; BL STC Italian p. 304. Not in Alden.

EUSEBIO DI CESAREA (265 ca. - 340 ca.)
CHRONICON ID EST TEMPORUM BREVIARIUM.
|
ERHARDUS RATDOLT, 13 settembre 1483, VENEZIA - Legatura settecentesca in piena pergamena rigida; dorso liscio recante in testa tassello con autore e titolo in oro; tagli spruzzati di rosso. 180 carte non numerate. Testo in lingua latina, impaginato su una e due colonne, caratteri tondi e gotici impressi in rosso e nero; nel testo, numerose tavole di sincronismi impaginate su due, tre, quattro e cinque colonne. Bei capilettera silografici decorati con eleganti racemi bianchi su fondo nero, colorati a pennello ed acquerello rosso e verde da antica mano. Alle carte 1 recto - 11 recto, "Tabula" ovvero indice delle parole degne di nota, introdotto da grande capolettera "T" acquerellato in verde e rosso; carte 11 verso e 12 bianche; incipit rubricato in lettere capitali e minuscole tonde alla carta 13 recto; explicit con dati tipografici, impresso in rosso con carattere gotico, al verso dell'ultima carta. Numerazione di epoca posteriore manoscritta a penna al recto di molte carte, al margine in alto a destra. Il pregevole incunabolo, di notevole interesse per la storia della stampa, è la seconda edizione del Chronicon , dopo quella di Milano del 1475 ca. Secondo l'IGI si conservano circa 60 esemplari della presente edizione. La veste tipografica accomuna elementi gotici ad altri di gusto spiccatamente rinascimentale. Eusebio vescovo di Cesarea, scrittore cristiano considerato il padre della storia ecclesiastica, compose questo trattato di cronologia in due parti con intenti eruditi e apologetici; la prima parte fornisce notizie storiche sui grandi popoli dell'antichità, la seconda parte è composta da tavole di sincronismi, in cui vengono collegati cronologicamente, anno per anno, gli avvenimenti di diversi popoli e nazioni. La redazione greca del trattato, salvo alcuni frammenti, è andata perduta; il testo latino impresso nel volume in esame è quello in parte rielaborato da san Gerolamo, con aggiunte fino al 378, poi ampliato nel secolo XV da Prospero di Aquitania e Matteo Palmieri da Firenze con aggiunte fino al 1448, nonché da Mattia Palmieri da Pisa con aggiornamenti fino al 1481. Tra le aggiunte a cura di Mattia Palmieri da Pisa, comparse la prima volta nell'edizione in esame, si legge, nella tavola cronologica riguardante l'anno 1457, un celebre elogio di J. Gutenberg come inventore della stampa a caratteri mobili, e una testimonianza del successo dell'arte tipografica in ogni parte del mondo, a beneficio dei "litterarum studiosi". Esemplare in buono stato conservativo; lieve usura al tassello sul dorso; interno lievemente rifilato ai margini, posteriormente all'apposizione dei numeri manoscritti alle carte; forellini di tarlo alle prime carte, senza perdita di testo.

Provenance: annotated throughout in a contemporary hand, including title and note on the author on flyleaf-Bregenz (Tyrol), Benedictine monastery: 17th-c. inscription on opening page (Ex Bibliotheca Monasterii Brigantini) Rare Koberger edition (reprint of 1483) and fine copy of one of the most widely-read contemplative texts of the Middle Ages. According to the ISTC, Koberger produced editions of Boethius (ca. 480-524 AD) in 1473, 1476, 1483, 1486 and 1495. The extensive printed commentary included in these editions has been attributed to Thomas Aquinas (including in the contemporary annotation on the flyleaf), but more recently to the Welsh priest Thomas Wallensis. Boethius wrote his Consolation of Philosophy in 524 AD while awaiting execution. During this year of imprisonment, he examined his understanding of the world without explicitly referring to his faith. Nonetheless, he was considered a Christian martyr and his work became de rigeur by the late fifteenth century. "To acquire a taste for it is almost to become naturalised in the Middle Ages." Such was the praise for The Consolation of Philosophy granted ... by C.S. Lewis ... From the Carolingian epoch to the end of the Middle Ages and beyond, this was the most widely copied work of secular literature in Europe. It was translated into Old English by King Alfred, into Old French by Jean de Meun, into Middle English by Geoffrey Chaucer and into Elizabethan English by Queen Elizabeth herself-to list only the most celebrated versions." (O'Donnell). Koberger evidently valued Boethius' text highly as well, for the first book he ever printed (in 1473) was the first bilingual edition of the text (Latin and German). This copy has been read thoroughly. There are extensive annotations in both the text and commentary by one or two contemporary hands, including underlining and numerous diagrams (an animated assortment of hands, eyes, arrows, etc.). The notes particularly emphasize Boethius' description of the vagaries of Fortune (book 2), and appears to agree with the conclusions of the pseudo-Aquinas gloss by evoking the Trinity."Anton Koberger of Nuremberg, perhaps the most powerful publisher of his day . . . brought out between 1473 and 1513 at least 236 books, most of them of the first importance." Lefevre, 124. He is also known for facilitating the use of images with text for the massive achievement of the heavily illustrated Nuremberg Chronicle (1493), and also produced Bibles and spectacular devotional texts including the Schatzbehalter (1491). *Goff B-781; BMC II, 430; cf.

The Oxford History of the Laws of England Volume VI: 1483-1558

OUP Oxford. New in new dust jacket. This volume covers the years 1483-1558, a period of immense social, political, and intellectual changes, which profoundly affected the law and its workings. It first considers constitutional developments, and addresses the question of whether there was a rule of law under king Henry VIII. In a period of supposed despotism, and enhanced parliamentary power, protection of liberty was increasing and habeas corpus was emerging. The volume considers the extent to which the law was affected by the intellectual changes of the Renaissance, and how far the English experience differed from that of the Continent. It includes a study of the myriad jurisdictions in Tudor England and their workings; a...

|
Peter Loslein, Venice 1483 - Chancery folio. Textblock measures 275 x 194mm. Bound in full 17th century (?) vellum with manuscript title on spine and two pairs of leather ties (recently renewed). Foliation: [4], blank, 101, [2], 28 leaves (the total of 136 leaves forming 272 pages). Signature collation: p4 a-h10 i12 k10 ?2 A-B10 C8 .Complete copy. Printed in gothic letter (with some quotations in Greek type), in double column, 58 lines per column. Initial spaces (unrubricated) with printed guide-letters. Full page woodcut illustration of the tree of consanguinity ("Hec est arbor consanguinitatis") on leaf e9v, woodcut 'T-O' map in text on leaf g9v, and other schematic woodcuts in text. Recto of the first leaf (p1r) is blank, on verso begins the Table of Contents of the Etymologiae (Registru[m] in libros etymologiaru[m].) which ends on p4 recto (verso blank). Text of the Etymologiae is prefaced with several letters between St.Isidore and Bishop Braulio (leaves a[2]r - a[3]r). Text of the Etymologiae begins on a[3]r with Incipit liber primus etymologiarum. Text of the Etymologiae ends on k10 verso with Finit liber etymologiarum Isidori hyspalensis episcopi. The following unsigned quire of 2 leaves contains the Table of Contents of De summo bono on ?1v-?2r (?1r and ?2v are blank). It is followed by the text of De summo bono occupying leaves A1r - C8r, and terminating with the colophon on C8r. Verso of the final leaf (C8v) is blank. Very Good antiquarian condition. Binding slightly rubbed. Front inner hinge a bit started, but holding securely, binding tight. A pencilled signature and faded small stamp of K.G.T. Webster to top of front free endpaper; two identical small round armorial stamps (of 17th century?) of an ecclesiastical library to blank verso of p1. A clipping from an early catalogue pertaining to this edition tipped to front pastedown. Some leaves slightly browned, occasional light staining or minor soiling. A few tiny wormholes to the textblock at the beginning of the volume (affecting a few letters), and to blank margins of a few final leaves. Top margin cropped somewhat closely with a few headlines or foliation numbers shaved, and touching the extremities of the 'tree of consanguinity' woodcut, but with no loss of text. A few leaves in De summo bono with early marginal notes. Generally a clean, well preserved and genuine exemplar. From the library of Kenneth Grant Tremayne Webster (1871 – 1942): with his small stamp, and signature of "K.G.T. Webster, Cambridge, Mass., 1915" on front free endpaper. The Etymologiae is the highly influential encyclopedia of medieval knowledge, composed by Saint Isidore at the beginning of the 7th century AD. The Etymologiae present a systematic survey of the world according to Judaic, Graeco-Roman, and Christian civilization in the form of a vast thesaurus of Latin vocabulary, which supplies a more or less accepted or fanciful etymology for each term. It covers the liberal arts, medicine, law, language, geography and natural history, and constituted one of the main routes for the transmission of classical learning to the middle ages. Etymologiae presents in abbreviated form much of that part of the learning of antiquity that Christians thought worth preserving. The book provided a rich source of classical lore and learning for medieval writers. THE IMPORTANT 'T-O MAP' is included, in a slightly modified form, in this 1483 edition (on leaf g9v). It represents only the top-half of the spherical Earth. It was presumably tacitly considered a convenient projection of the inhabited parts, the northern temperate half of the globe. The 'T' in the map is the Mediterranean, dividing the three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, and the 'O' is the encircling Ocean. Jerusalem was generally represented in the center of the map. Asia was typically the size of the other two continents combined. In patristic geography the Earthly Paradise (the Garden of Eden) was believed to be situated in Asia, at the eastern edge of India.

Fourth edition (first, Strasbourg, 1472). § The first great medieval encyclopedia, an epitome of all learning. It was the most popular compendium in medievel libraries and was printed in eight editions between 1472 and 1500. 'His main work is the "Etymologiarum sive Originum libri XX," written probably between 622 and 633; an encyclopaedia based upon classical authors, chiefly grammarians, and even more upon patristic literature. It served as a model for later encyclopaedias and its influence upon mediaeval thought was very great. Poor as the Origines are, they reveal a genuine interest in science, independently from theology.' (Sarton.) 'The Etymologiae, an encyclopaedic work, presents the sum of contemporary knowledge on all branches of science. Book IV affords a survey of the entire range of medicine.' (Garrison-Morton 6787, 1472 edition). '... the Etymologiae or Origines... briefly defines or discusses terms drawn from all aspects of human knowledge and is based ultimately on late Latin compendia and gloss collections. The books of greatest scientific interest deal with mathematics, astronomy, medicine, human anatomy, zoology, geography, meteorology, geology, mineralogy, botany, and agriculture... he wrote nothing original... but his influence in the Middle Ages and Renaissance was great, and he remains an interesting and often authoritative source for Latin lexicography, particularly in technical, scientific, and nonliterary fields.' (William D. Sharpe, DSB 7:27). Isidore was educated by his elder brother Leander and in monastery schools. He succeeded Leander as bishop of Seville and Catholic primate of Spain in 599. He was much concerned with the reformation of church discipline and with the establishment of schools. Besides the Etymologiae he wrote De natura rerum and numerous works on Scripture, canon law, systematic theology, liturgy, general and Spanish history and ascetics. There is a woodcut tree of tree of knowledge f. 48 v and the famous world map on f. 68v -- in 1472 this was the first map ever printed. Literature: Sarton I, pp. 417--2.

Exploration of Africa
|
Overlook Press. Please note that deliveries to addresses in the UK and Europe will be in 4-14 business days. Other countries should refer to Alibris standard times. The continent of Africa has always exerted a strong pull on the imagination of the adventurous, through the mystery of its native art and artifacts, the promise of untold riches, and the lure of the unknown. "The Exploration of Africa" documents the history of this passion in a large format, with a vivid and concise text and hundreds of beautiful photos and illustrations. Though the mouth of the Congo river was discovered by Portuguese explorers in 1483, much of the African continent remained terra incognita until the eighteenth century, when merchants and arms traders opened trade routes within the continent. In 1871, the journey of journalist Henry Morton Stanley to rescue the explorer David Livingstone captured the public imagination and sparked a craze for African art and artifacts. After the continent was partitioned by the Berlin Conference of 1885, school textbooks featured edifying images of African natives and makers of commercial goods used stereotyped portrayals of natives in their advertisements, belying the fact that, deep within the continent, rapacious profiteers were turning the jungles into the heart of darkness that Joseph Conrad documented. "The Exploration of Africa" offers the unique opportunity to share the sights and impressions of the actual explorersboth in their words and with photographs of what they sawand to see how their adventures resonated in the public imagination, with reproductions of the art and ephemera, newspaper and magazine illustrations, that were inspired by them.

MACROBIUS, Ambrosius Theodosius
In somnium Scipionis expositio. Saturnalia.
|
Boninus de Boninis, Brescia, 1483. Folio (300 x 200 mm.), 191 leaves (without the initial blank); seven diagrams and a map; capital spaces blank; a few wormholes and a little light staining; a handsome copy with large margins in eighteenth-century dark calf, gilt arms on sides; very well rebacked to style. The handsome Sunderland copy of this great and rare book, with the first appearance in print of the famous Macrobian world map. Arguably the most influential of all pre-Renaissance views of the world, the map presents an antipodean, southern continent.This is the first edition of Macrobius's Commentary on the Dream of Scipio to print the scientific diagrams and the world map. Since these had not been included in the only earlier printing of the text (Venice 1472, an edition which was therefore less than complete, as the map and diagrams are specifically referred to by Macrobius to illustrate ideas discussed in the text), this is the preferred early edition.Macrobius, writing in the early fifth century, was one of the select band of encyclopaedists who preserved and transmitted classical philosophy and science to the medieval world and whose works were 'to hold a central position in the intellectual development of the West for nearly a millennium. To the medievalist, Macrobius's Commentary is an intensely interesting document because it was... one of the basic source books of the scholastic movement and of medieval science' (W. H. Stahl, Macrobius: commentary on the Dream of Scipio, 1952). 'To the mere persistence, through a few compendia, of the knowledge that the earth is a globe, Europe owed the discovery of the New World. The astronomical and geographical science in Macrobius alone was sufficient to furnish a basis for Columbus when the passion for exploration had been reawakened, as it was in the fifteenth century' (Thomas Whittaker, Macrobius, 1923, p. 83).Macrobius's famous map figures a massive antipodal southern continent. One of the very earliest of all maps of the world, this woodcut shows a globe split into two - Europe and the balancing Antipodes - and surrounded by ocean at the edges. This remarkable image, which survived by manuscript transmission from the fifth century into the age of printing, had a strong and lingering effect on post-Renaissance and pre-discovery geography. It is also the first printed map to show the currents of the oceans. Its large southern continent carries the legend 'Pervsta / Temperata, antipodum / nobis incognita'. For a thousand years the Macrobian world map formed the basis of world geography, until Renaissance exploration replaced it with discovered fact, and all pre-discovery mapping was to some extent based on it, as were all ideas of a southern hemisphere, a southern continent, or an antipodes.There is an immense literature on the Macrobian world view: Carlos Sanz (El primer mapa del mundo..., Real Sociedad Geográfica, B 455, Madrid, 1966) has studied the significance of the maps with regard to Quiros and subsequent voyages of discovery into the southern hemisphere, while Beaglehole in his great edition of the journals of Cook has neatly written of 'the circular maps of another cycle, that of Macrobius... [who] goes rather further than Cicero or St. Isidore; for whereas Cicero thought the southern zone habitable, and St. Isidore noted that there 'the Antipodes are fabulously said to dwell', Macrobius considered that the heat of the torrid zone would forever keep men from providing any proof. There however is the neatly balanced round of the Macrobian map: in the middle the broad Bath of Ocean, bounded on either side by the wavy coastline of an insular continent, northern and southern, snugly fitted into the waters of its half-circle. Each is divided into three bands: the first, rather narrow, facing on the Alveus Oceani and labelled Perusta - 'burnt up'.'Beyond these are the broader temperate bands: on the north, Aphrica, Europa, India, with the four cardinal cities of Carthage, Alexandria, Jerusalem and Babylon; on the south, Temperata Antipodum Nobis Incognita. Beyond these again are the final bands labelled Frigida; containing on the north Britain, Thule, and the Rhiphei montes, on the south naturally nothing beyond the simply frigid. So seductive, in the field of science, was harmony, symmetry, balance, the fitness of things; so difficult has it been for the geographer, as for other men, to wait on facts. So little, one is tempted cynically to add, has it mattered in the long run...' (J.C. Beaglehole, The Journals of Captain James Cook, Vol. I, The Voyage of the Endeavour, pp. xxv-vi ).This is the Sunderland copy, with the gilt arms of the duke of Marlborough on the covers, lot 7792 (noted as a 'rare edition') in the Sunderland sale, Puttick & Simpson, third portion, 26 July 1882, bought by Quaritch for £2 4s; subsequently acquired by W. H. Crawford, of Lakelands, County Cork, with his armorial book-plate, lot 1981 in the Lakelands Library sale, Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge, March 1891. The magnificent Sunderland or Blenheim Library, which was particularly strong in early printed books, was formed by Charles Spencer, third earl of Sunderland, 1674-1722. It was inherited and added to by his third son (also Charles Spencer), who became fifth earl of Sunderland in 1729 and, in 1733, third duke of Marlborough. The library was moved in 1749 to Blenheim Palace, the seat of the dukes of Marlborough, where it remained until its sale by Puttick & Simpson in a series of auctions beginning in 1881.Beaglehole, 'Journals of Captain James Cook' I, p. xxv (and fig. 2); BMC, VII 968; Goff , M9; Hain, *10427; Sander, Le Livre A Figures Italien, #4072; Shirley, 13 (and plate 21); Stahl, p. 61.

SIMON BENING'S FLOWERS BOOK OF HOURS
|
Faksimile Verlag Luzern. New. Hardcover. pSimon Bening's Flowers Book of Hours, 16th century - Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munchen, Clm 23637/ppFlemish Book Illumination at Its Finest /ppFlemish Book Illumination at Its Height /ppThe Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening ranks among the most beautiful works of book illumination in general. It is an impressive example of Flemish book illumination which in the 16th century was clearly at its height. /ppAmong all Book of Hours, this masterpiece is distinguished by two special features: first by the loosely arranged decoration framing the text on each page with flowers and birds; second, by countless variations of page layout within one and the same manuscript. /ppIn terms of decoration and layout, this work clearly is the unsurpassed highlight of book art at this time. /ppBook of Hours as "Best Sellers" of the Middle Ages /ppThe golden age of Book of Hours began in the Middle Ages. Originally they only contained Latin prayers and were used by aristocratic laymen as simple books of personal devotion. Later, increasing emphasis was put on a rich decoration and beautiful ornamentation. The aesthetic aspect became more important than spiritual edification. The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening is one of the most luxurious examples of its kind. Bening probably was one of the last great masters of his discipline. /ppA Star Miniaturist /ppSimon Bening was born into a family of artists. Already his father was an illuminator, although no work has been clearly associated with him. /ppSimon was without any doubt the most famous illuminator of his time. He was born in 1483, presumably in Ghent. He seems to have been active since 1500. In the years before 1519, when he was granted the rights of a citizen of Bruges, Bening must have worked both in Bruges and in Ghent. /ppHe was married twice and had five daughters. He died in 1561 at the age of 78. /ppThe Texts of the Book of Hours /ppAs all Book of Hours, our manuscript begins with a calendar, followed by an introductory prayer and pericopes from the four Gospels, followed by seven individual prayers of a full hour relating to the Passion of Christ; the text follows closely the Word according to St. John. The Office of the Virgin forms the core of the Book of Hours which is composed of biblical texts, such as psalms. The work is complete with the seven Penitentiary Psalms, a Litany, an Office of the Dead and several prayers dedicated to the Trinity, to the Virgin Mary and to various saints. /ppThe text is written according to the usage of Rome and thus is valid everywhere. So this Book of Hours could be used internationally without any regional limitations. /ppThe manuscript is written in rounded gothic, a uniformal script, and probably goes back to a single hand. /ppThe Fantastic Decoration /ppThe way the artist decorated the text pages of the manuscript with single motifs, is particularly fascinating. Simon Bening liked the experiment and used all possible variations of motifs. The result is a multitude of decorative elements hardly ever seen in book illumination. /ppThe individual objects are not framed and show hard shadows on the side. The viewer thus has the illusion that the objects are really disseminated over the whole page. A particularly impressive example are the little dragonflies which, apparently attracted by trompe l'il flowers, now delude the viewer. /ppThe motifs used in the book range from flowers to animals, and the flowers appear in the luxurious colours unique in book illumination. /ppThe Miniatures - The Work of a Creative Genius /ppSimon Bening based his work on an unusually wide range of sources, reaching from panel paintings by Hugo van der Goes to engravings by Schongauer. In addition, he treated these motifs in a very creative way, changing them, modeling them, combining them and adding on other individual motifs. /ppThe miniatures, especially the calendar miniatures, not only depict major events but also everyday reality. /ppEach motif seems to be interesting enough to be decorated in the utmost perfection, such as peasants on the field, carrying out diverse occupations, according to the season. /ppThere is also room for pleasure and delight: boat and sledge rides, and even tournaments take place. Each leaf of this extraordinary work is a testimony to the masterful art of Simon Bening. His work is distinguished by an unequalled wealth of motifs and an unsurpassed sense of imagination. /ppThe Fine Art Facsimile Edition /ppThe Fine Art Facsmile Edition contains 438 pages in the original format of 16.5 x 11.2 cm. It is decorated with 70 miniature pages and more than 300 pages showing a wealth of decorative motifs, particularly flowers, birds and other animals. The most up-to-date electronic technology combined with traditional craftsmanship guarantee a faithful reproduction of the original. All leaves are gilt-edged on three sides. The edition is strictly limted to 980 numbered copies. /ppThe Fine Art Facsimile Edition with two gold-plated clasps is sold out. This listing is for the standard Fine Art Facsimile Edition which is bound in red velvet. /ppThe Commentary Volume /ppThe Fine Art Facsimile Edition and the commentary volume are available in a protective case in acrylic glass. /ppDocumentation Kit/ppA documentation kit containing three full-sized leaves from the Fine Art Facsimile Edition and an illustrated 12-page information brochure is available for trial upon request. /p .

[Colophon:] Strassburg: [printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg,] 1491. Small folio, 258 leaves, including the final blank R6. Printed in double columns, 52 lines plus headline, initial spaces with guide letters rubricated throughout. Contemporary goatskin roll-tooled in blind over beech boards, brass clasps, title written on lower edges, small paper label on upper cover (clasps repaired, spine cracked and restored). Single wormhole through text of first 25 leaves, a few other small wormholes in margin, minor dampstain in lower margin. A superb copy. The first important encyclopedia of all the sciences of the Middle Ages, which by its wide dissemination over three centuries had a profound influence of medieval thought. It is “still important for its information on political geography and its accounts of natural history” (Stillwell). Divided into nineteen books, the contents are as follows: “(1) God; (2) angels and demons; (3) psychology; (4–5) physiology; (6) family life, domestic economy; (7) medicine; (8) cosmology, astrology; (9) time divisions; (10) form and matter, elements; (11) air, meteorology; (12) flying creatures; (13) waters and fishes, dolphins, whales; (14) physical geography; (15) political geography, (in 175 chapters; this contains a number of interesting remarks, notes on economic geography, etc.); (16) gems, minerals, metals; (17) trees and herbs; (18) animals; (19) color, odor, savor; food and drink, eggs; weights and measures; musical instruments” (Sarton, II, p. 586). “Book 16 contains 104 short chapters on as many mineral substances as earths, stone, ores, metals, salts, etc., as well as gemstones, the latter often given names that now defy identification of the materials concerned. Gemstones are alabaster, adamante, amethyst, agate, alabandina, beryl, carbuncle, chrysoprase, chalcedony, chrysolite, rock crystal, coral carnelian, hematite, heliotrope, jet, jasper, hyacinth, pearl, marble, onyx, opal, prase, sapphire, emerald, sard, sardonyx, topaz, turquoise; very brief descriptions with comments on curious or medicinal lore associated with each” (Sinkankas, Gemology, p. 70). This is the second of two editions from this press. This copy has extensive marginalia in a calligraphic hand in Books III–V and occasionally elsewhere by the writer who recorded his ownership on the inside front cover at Beyharting in 1551.

[Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg (Georg Husner)], Strassburg: Sept. 1, 1488 / / Johan Koelhoff, Lubeck Colonie [Cologne]: 1487. 1488. Three works in one. 1. Rationale Divinorum. 264 leaves. Title page mounted, with loss of blank portion. First signature with damp damage, but no real loss of text. 2. Manipulus curator(um). 68 leaves. Some light marginal damping. Some marginal worm holes. 3. Ars predicandi. 16 leaves (last blank) printed continuously with the preceding work. Last few leaves wormed and damped with some slight loss. Gothic Latin text. Double column. Folio. 215 x 310 mm. The original, highly decorated leather boards are preserved over a modern leather binding. The boards are blind tooled with: sixteen small stamps showing a rampant lion within a diamond frames; ten small madonna stamps in circular frames; and a lettered mari(a) ribbon stamp repeated over forty times. Though much of the decoration has perished, and what remains is worn - this is a wonderful survival of a fifteenth century binding. When all the prescriptions for celebration of the liturgy are gathered into a single volume, that book is termed an ordinal. If a book contains only the directions for sacraments administered by a bishop, it is called a pontifical. Over time, the ceremonial was studied by authors who attempted to explain its allegory and codify its practice; and the most complete of such treatises, the Rationale divinorum officiorum, was composed in 1286 by Guilelmus Durandus, Bishop of Mende [Ca. 1230-1296], also known as Duranti or Durantis. He was born at Puimisson, near Beziers, of a noble family of Languedoc. He studied law at Bologna, especially with Bernardus of Parma, and about 1264 was teaching canon law with success at Modena. Clement IV., his fellow-countryman, called him to the pontifical court as a chaplain and auditor of the palace, and in 1274 he accompanied Clement's successor Gregory X. to the council of Lyons, the constitutions of which he drew up, along with some other prelates. In the midst of the struggles between Guelfs and Ghibellines, Durandus successfully defended the papal territories, both by diplomacy and by arms. Honorius IV. retained him in his offices, and although elected bishop of Mende in 1286, he remained in Italy (with a few absences) until his death. His principal work is the 'Speculum judiciae' - a general explanation of civil, criminal and canonical procedure, and contracts. Scarcely less important is this 'Rationale Divinorum' - a liturgical treatise written in Italy before 1286, on the origin and symbolic sense of the Christian ritual. It presents a picture of the liturgy of the 13th century in the West, studied in its various forms, its traditional sources, and its relation to the church buildings and furniture. It is one of the main authorities on Western liturgies. The 'Manipulus Curatorum' of Guy de Montrocher and the appended 'Ars Predicandi' are among the most important of the practical manuals written for the use of the priests in the middle ages. They were "read to death" by generations of priests, which helps explain the incredible scarcity of the edition offered here. References: 1. Goff D 434; BMC I 138; Walsh 236; GKW 9135; Hain 6494. 2.

The first appeared in 1485, and this is apparently the first of a number of page for page reprints. The imprint information is from the colophon on H5r.

Folio. Eighteenth or early nineteenth-century light brown calf, triple and double gilt filets along the borders of both sides with gilt corner pieces in between, spine gilt in compartments with title lettered in gold, marbled endpapers. Printed in two columns, 47 lines, 3-6 lines initial spaces left blank (not rubricated), Type: 4: 78 (80)R. 324 leaves; collation: a12 (including first blank, sign. beginning on fol. 2 (= a1, etc.)), a-z, A-G10, H12 (including last blank). Beautiful copy with wide margins (paper: 288 x 202 mm) of this first Italian translation of one of the main works by St. Augustine (354-430): his famous De civitate Dei, the City of God, also known as De Civitate Dei contra Paganos (The City of God against the Pagans). It is a book written in Latin in the early fifth century, dealing with issues concerning God, martyrdom, Jews, and other Christian philosophies. Augustine wrote the treatise to explain Christianity's relationship with competing religions and philosophies, and to the Roman government with which it was increasingly intertwined. It was written soon after Rome was sacked by the Visigoths in 410. This event left Romans in a deep state of shock, and many saw it as punishment for abandoning their Roman religion. It was in this atmosphere that Augustine set out to provide a consolation of Christianity, writing that, even if the earthly rule of the empire was imperilled, it was the City of God that would ultimately triumph.This magnificent incunable contains the first translation into Italian by an anonymous author, although the translation has been attributed to Brother Jacopo Passavarti in an inscription on H11v of a copy of this edition now in the Bodleian Library at Oxford. The same copy has an ownership's entry dated 1483, the reason why most bibliographies date the edition as 'not after 1483'. It is 'The only well authenticated early edition' of the Italian translation (BMC)Our edition was assigned to Miscomini's Florentine press by Proctor who identified Antonio di Bartolomeo with Antonio Miscomini who started his Florentine press in 1481.BMC, however, attributes it to his press in Venice because "(1) of the numerous watermarks several (scales in circle, large oxhead with shaft ending in cross and rosette, etc.) are characteristically Venetian but none characteristically Florentine; (2) the heavy a with head curled to left which is occasionally found elsewhere only in the Venetian Virgil of 1486." BMC provides further evidence for Venetian origin on the basis of several copies known in contemporary Venetian bindings. They note, however, "on the other hand, the frequent combination of the article with its substantive in one word is rather a Florentine characteristic." GW assigns the book to Florence, BSB-Ink., IDL and others to Venice. So, it is not completely clear whether this edition was printed at Antonio di Bartolommeo's (Miscomini's) Venetian press in the late 1470s or at his Florentine press in the early 1480s Very good clean copy with wide margins, and with both often lacking blanks at the beginning and end.- (Re-backed, back cover slightly scratched, some insign. wormholes).

Il pontefice, infatti, fu il fautore dell'introduzione a Roma dello spirito rinascimentale, fino ad allora guardato con sospetto negli ambienti ecclesiastici. Oltre ad abbellire la citta di monumenti e opere d'arte, Niccolo V favori gli studi di scienziati e letterati umanisti, per cui si rendeva necessaria l'agevole consultazione di un vasto patrimonio librario. Poiche all'epoca il sapere era del tutto vincolato alla cultura greca, ed essendo difficile e costoso recuperare codici redatti in quella lingua, il papa decise di far eseguire la versione dei codici in suo possesso ai suoi piu valenti traduttori. Cosi, fu su commissione pontificia che Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457), con il compenso di 500 ducati d'oro, esegui questa traduzione del celebre storico greco; e fu proprio grazie a questa traduzione e alla versione, sempre valliana, delle Historie di Erodoto che la conoscenza della storiografia greca pote diffondersi in Italia e in tutto il resto dell'Europa.

The Rabelais Encyclopedia
|
Greenwood Press. New The French humanist Rabelais (ca. 1483-1553) was the greatest French writer of the Renaissance and one of the most influential authors of all time. His Gargantua and Pantagruel, written in five books between 1532 and 1553, rivals the works of Shakespeare and Cervantes in terms of artistry, complexity of ideas and expression, and historical importance. Rabelais is read in numerous courses in French Literature, Renaissance Studies, and Western Civilization, and his writings continue to attract the attention of scholars and general readers alike. The first work of its kind, this encyclopedia is a comprehensive guide to his life and writings. Included are several hundred alphabetically arranged entries by expert contributors. These entries discuss his characters, his overt and veiled references to historical and Renaissance figures and events, his literary and philosophical allusions, his major themes, and the key events and influences that shaped his career. The entries cover such topics as education, religion, censors and censorship, humanism, death, and warfare. Entries cite works for further reading, and the encyclopedia closes with a selected, general bibliography. ISBN10: 0313310343.

CESSOLIS, JACOBUS de.
The Game of Chess.
|
CHESS. - Translated and Printed by William Caxton c. 1483, Reproduced in facsimile from the copy atTrinity College, Cambridge, with an introduction by N. F. Blake. London, The Scolar Press, 1976. 4to. (176) p.With illustr. in the text. Original rough hessian cloth, spine with leather titlelabel. Limited to 500 copies, of which this is copy number 73. 'The Game of Chess' is an English translation of the original Latin text by Jacobus de Cessolis under the title of 'Liber de Ludo Scaccorum'. This work, which was itself based on 'De Regimine Principum' by Aegidius Romanus, was written in the late 13th or early 14th century and was very popular - numerous manuscripts of it survive. There were two separate translations into French made about the middle of the 14th century, one by Jean de Vignay and the other by Jean Farron or Ferron. A further French version which is a conflation of these two translations was made, and it is from this conflated text, of which at least three manuscripts survive, that Caxton made his translation into English. This facsimile edition is a reproduction of England's first printer William Caxton's (1421-91) second edition of the Game of Chess. The second edition contained illustrations, the first edition of 1474 contained none. At the time it was published probably about 1483 it was one of the earliest printed books to have illustrations and it is also one of the earliest printed books in English on the subject of chess.

Anton Koberger. 24 Giugno 1483, Nuremberg - [Incunabolo-Raro] (cm. 33,3) mezzo vitello secolo XIX, dorso a 4 nervi con filetti a secco, piatti con abrasioni.-- interessante frammento di incunabolo decorato, della prima parte di sole 182 carte non numerate (di 191?). Assieme alla seconda parte l' opera conterebbe 376 carte complessive. Caratteri gotici, testo a due colonne, 56 linee. Tutti gli spazi per lettere capitali sono rubricati a mano a tempera rossa e azzurra, i titoli dei capitoli sono sottolineati a tempera rossa. E' questa una delle prime edizioni di famosa opera di devozione apparsa nel 1474, redatta dal Monaco Certosino di Strasburgo morto nel 1377, poi molte volte ristampata. Edizione veramente rara della quale non esiste alcun esemplare nelle biblioteche Italiane. Sander non registra alcuna vendita, manca ad Harvard e a molti grandi cataloghi di Rosenthal, Maggs, Olschki, Quaritch ecc. Per errore del legatore alcuni quaderni sono fuori posto ed è difficile controllare le carte mancanti. la prima carta presente inserita erroneamente inizia con: " De confessione vere fidei.capitulum primum". L' ultima carta presente (dd5) porta al verso la rubrica dei 92 capitoli presenti nel nostro volume: " Rubricae capitolorum primae partis in vita hiesu". Cosicchè mancano circa 8 carte? della prima parte e tutta la seconda parte. Vari fori di tarlo per lo più ben restaurati, aloni e alcune macchie, strappo con vecchio restauro alla prima e a due carte interne con perdita di alcune lettere ma esemplare su carta grave, con buoni margini, elegantemente rubricato a mano che nonostante i suoi difetti conserva tutto il suo fascino originale. * Hain-Copinger 10294; * Goff L 342; * Pellechet 7259; * Proctor 2037; * Cat.

Isidorus Hispalensis (Isidore of Seville)
Etymologiae (with De Summo bono)
|
Peter Loslein, Venice 1483 - Chancery folio. Textblock measures 275 x 194mm. Bound in full 17th century (?) vellum with manuscript title on spine and two pairs of leather ties (recently renewed). Foliation: [4], 101, [2], 28 leaves (the total of 136 leaves forming 272 pages). Signature collation: p4 a-h10 i12 k10 ?2 A-B10 C8 .Complete copy. Printed in gothic letter (with some quotations in Greek type), in double column, 58 lines per column. Initial spaces (unrubricated) with printed guide-letters. Full page woodcut illustration of the tree of consanguinity ("Hec est arbor consanguinitatis") on leaf e9v, woodcut 'T-O' map in text on leaf g9v, and other schematic woodcuts in text. Recto of the first leaf (p1r) is blank, on verso begins the Table of Contents of the Etymologiae (Registru[m] in libros etymologiaru[m].) which ends on p4 recto (verso blank). Text of the Etymologiae is prefaced with several letters between St.Isidore and Bishop Braulio (leaves a[2]r - a[3]r). Text of the Etymologiae begins on a[3]r with Incipit liber primus etymologiarum. Text of the Etymologiae ends on k10 verso with Finit liber etymologiarum Isidori hyspalensis episcopi. The following unsigned quire of 2 leaves contains the Table of Contents of De summo bono on ?1v-?2r (?1r and ?2v are blank). It is followed by the text of De summo bono occupying leaves A1r - C8r, and terminating with the colophon on C8r. Verso of the final leaf (C8v) is blank. Very Good antiquarian condition. Binding slightly rubbed. Front inner hinge a bit started, but holding securely, binding tight. A pencilled signature and faded small stamp of K.G.T. Webster to top of front free endpaper; two identical small round armorial stamps (of 17th century?) of an ecclesiastical library to blank verso of p1. A clipping from an early catalogue pertaining to this edition tipped to front pastedown. Some leaves slightly browned, occasional light staining or minor soiling. A few tiny wormholes to the textblock at the beginning of the volume (affecting a few letters), and to blank margins of a few final leaves. Top margin cropped somewhat closely with a few headlines or foliation numbers shaved, and touching the extremities of the 'tree of consanguinity' woodcut, but with no loss of text. A few leaves in De summo bono with early marginal notes. Generally a clean, well preserved and genuine exemplar. From the library of Kenneth Grant Tremayne Webster (1871 ? 1942): with his small stamp, and signature of "K.G.T. Webster, Cambridge, Mass., 1915" on front free endpaper. The Etymologiae is the highly influential encyclopedia of medieval knowledge, composed by Saint Isidore at the beginning of the 7th century AD. The Etymologiae present a systematic survey of the world according to Judaic, Graeco-Roman, and Christian civilization in the form of a vast thesaurus of Latin vocabulary, which supplies a more or less accepted or fanciful etymology for each term. It covers the liberal arts, medicine, law, language, geography and natural history, and constituted one of the main routes for the transmission of classical learning to the middle ages. Etymologiae presents in abbreviated form much of that part of the learning of antiquity that Christians thought worth preserving. The book provided a rich source of classical lore and learning for medieval writers. THE IMPORTANT 'T-O MAP' is included, in a slightly modified form, in this 1483 edition (on leaf g9v). It represents only the top-half of the spherical Earth. It was presumably tacitly considered a convenient projection of the inhabited parts, the northern temperate half of the globe. The 'T' in the map is the Mediterranean, dividing the three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, and the 'O' is the encircling Ocean. Jerusalem was generally represented in the center of the map. Asia was typically the size of the other two continents combined. In patristic geography the Earthly Paradise (the Garden of Eden) was believed to be situated in Asia, at the eastern edge of India.

Edition "valued on account of the emendations and notes supplied by Ritterhusius, the learned editor" (Schwerdt). Oppian is the name of two author of didactic poems in Greek hexameters. Oppian of Corycus in Cilicia wrote the poem on fishing (Halieutica) of about 3500 lines which he dedicated to Aurelius and his son Commodus (c. 170). Oppian of Apamea in Syria dedicated his poem on hunting (Cynegetica) to the emperor Caracalla, so that this must have been written after 211 and which consists of four books. The author evidently knew the Halieutica, and perhaps intended his poem as a supplement. Both works are printed here in Greek with the Latin translation.Browned in places; two marginal wormholes; bookplates of H. Gallice and Marcel Jeanson; flyleaves slightly damaged.

Spiegel, Jakob (Jacobus) [1483- - c.1547]. [Hegendorf, Cristoph (1500-1540)]. Iuris Civilis Lexicon ex Variis Probatorum Autorum Commentariis Congestum. Strassburg: Io. Schottus Execudebat, 1538. [340], 54, [58] pp. Text printed in double columns. Folio (8-1/4" x 13-1/2"). Contemporary vellum dyed to look like calf, raised bands and lettering piece to spine, endpapers renewed at some point. Light rubbing to extremities, corners and spine ends bumped, front joint cracked but secure, rear joint starting, rear free endpaper loose. Attractive woodcut decorated initials, dedication printed within ornate woodcut architectural border. Toning, light browning in a few places, occasional faint dampstaining to margins. Early annotations to title page and a few leaves. A handsome copy of a scarce edition. * First edition. With indexes. Spiegel was a lawyer, a privy counselor to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and a notable humanist scholar who corresponded with Erasmus. The Lexicon Iuris Civilis, a dictionary of terms in Roman law, is his most important work. It was issued 12 times; the first edition was published in 1538, the final edition in 1577. The entries are rather brief, ranging from a sentence to a few paragraphs, and they contain references to examples in the Roman juristic literature. The part comprising 54 numbered pages, "In Tit. C. Iustiniani, Christophori Hegendorphini Exegeses," is Spiegel's exegesis of sections of the Code, the Twelve Tables and other topics in Roman law with added commentary (exegesis) by Hegendorf.

Double column 41 lines of text and headline for the first work 50 lines and headline for the second gothic type. Two separately published works bound in one volume. VERY PLEASING CONTEMPORARY CALF OVER THICK WOODEN BOARDS covers panelled and diapered and featuring several distinctive stamps (see below) each cover with five brass bosses (one a convincing later replica the rest original) original brass corner guards and catches remnants of clasps expertly rebacked in the 20th century with unadorned matching dark calf tail edge of text block with early ink titling. Both works vigorously rubricated with red throughout: capitals and important phrases struck with paint or underlined paragraph flourishes many mostly three- and four-line initials (one very decorative initial 11 lines high) and unusual undulating line fillers. With a handful of contemporaneous marginal annotations in a fine early hand. Small portions of calf missing from top and fore edge of front board leather a bit scuffed and dried other small defects but the binding very solidly restored and extremely attractive because of its well-preserved original elements. First work with intermittent minor browning and foxing one of the medial blanks with four-inch diagonal tear (once mended with tape and now with residual discoloration) a half dozen leaves in the second work with minor marginal dampstain at fore edge but still AN EXCELLENT COPY INTERNALLY: the second work in quite fine condition--with extremely clean fresh leaves and very ample margins--and THE BOTTOM EDGES OF MANY LEAVES IN THE FIRST WORK WITH THE ORIGINAL COMPOSITOR'S MANUSCRIPT SIGNATURES THAT WOULD NORMALLY BE TRIMMED OFF. First work: Goff A-237; BMC I, 93. Second work: Goff G-500; BMC I, 98. The seven books in the Compendium (bound first here) discuss the Nature of Truth the Creation the Fall the Incarnation Grace the Sacraments and the Four Last Things. On account of its scope and style as well as its practical arrangement the work gained considerable popularity and was used as a basic text in schools for four centuries. It has been attributed to more authors than almost any other Medieval text. The 1557 Lyon edition attributed it to the intellectual giant and Doctor Universalis Albertus Magnus (1206?-80) a prolific writer active preacher and influential teacher (of among others St. Thomas Aquinas). Compendium was included in the 21 folio volumes of Albertus' works published in 1651. However after investigating the various theories of authorship scholars now believe the text is almost certainly the work of Albertus' student Dominican theologian Hugh Ripelin more commonly known as Hugh of Strassburg. The second work Quadragesimale is a popular collection of Lenten sermons by the Franciscan preacher Conradus Gritsch that was frequently reprinted following its first publication in Nuremberg ca. 1474. These sermons celebrate the events in Christ’s life during the 40 days (Quadragesima) from Ash Wednesday to Easter and in doing so develop a picture of the truly Christian life. Gritsch's sermons convey their message in an unusually lively way a fact that no doubt contributed to their popularity. For example sometimes Gritsch asks why lightning is seen before thunder is heard or why one country is hotter than another or whether it is praiseworthy for a saint to mix ashes with his food. (The answer to the last question is no because to do so would constitute a senseless departure from the mean.) Elsewhere interest is maintained by such things as mythological exempla taken from Ovid. Like the first work this text was for many years erroneously attributed to another author--in the present case Gritsch's brother Johannes an Augustinian canon law scholar in Basel. The mistake was rectified by the work of A. Murith in 1940. The stamps used to dec [Attributes: Hard Cover]

SIMON BENING'S FLOWERS BOOK OF HOURS (DAS BLUMENSTUNDENBUCH VON SIMON BENING - OHNE SCHMUCKSCHLIEBEN) Fine Facsimile Illuminated Edition of 16th Century
|
Faksimile Verlag Luzern. Simon Bening's Flowers Book of Hours, 16th century - Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, München, Clm 23637Flemish Book Illumination at Its Finest Flemish Book Illumination at Its Height The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening ranks among the most beautiful works of book illumination in general. It is an impressive example of Flemish book illumination which in the 16th century was clearly at its height. Among all Book of Hours, this masterpiece is distinguished by two special features: first by the loosely arranged decoration framing the text on each page with flowers and birds; second, by countless variations of page layout within one and the same manuscript. In terms of decoration and layout, this work clearly is the unsurpassed highlight of book art at this time. Book of Hours as "Best Sellers" of the Middle Ages The golden age of Book of Hours began in the Middle Ages. Originally they only contained Latin prayers and were used by aristocratic laymen as simple books of personal devotion. Later, increasing emphasis was put on a rich decoration and beautiful ornamentation. The aesthetic aspect became more important than spiritual edification. The Flowers Book of Hours by Simon Bening is one of the most luxurious examples of its kind. Bening probably was one of the last great masters of his discipline. A Star Miniaturist Simon Bening was born into a family of artists. Already his father was an illuminator, although no work has been clearly associated with him. Simon was without any doubt the most famous illuminator of his time. He was born in 1483, presumably in Ghent. He seems to have been active since 1500. In the years before 1519, when he was granted the rights of a citizen of Bruges, Bening must have worked both in Bruges and in Ghent. He was married twice and had five daughters. He died in 1561 at the age of 78. The Texts of the Book of Hours As all Book of Hours, our manuscript begins with a calendar, followed by an introductory prayer and pericopes from the four Gospels, followed by seven individual prayers of a full hour relating to the Passion of Christ; the text follows closely the Word according to St. John. The Office of the Virgin forms the core of the Book of Hours which is composed of biblical texts, such as psalms. The work is complete with the seven Penitentiary Psalms, a Litany, an Office of the Dead and several prayers dedicated to the Trinity, to the Virgin Mary and to various saints. The text is written according to the usage of Rome and thus is valid everywhere. So this Book of Hours could be used internationally without any regional limitations. The manuscript is written in rounded gothic, a uniformal script, and probably goes back to a single hand. The Fantastic Decoration The way the artist decorated the text pages of the manuscript with single motifs, is particularly fascinating. Simon Bening liked the experiment and used all possible variations of motifs. The result is a multitude of decorative elements hardly ever seen in book illumination. The individual objects are not framed and show hard shadows on the side. The viewer thus has the illusion that the objects are really disseminated over the whole page. A particularly impressive example are the little dragonflies which, apparently attracted by trompe l'il flowers, now delude the viewer. The motifs used in the book range from flowers to animals, and the flowers appear in the luxurious colours unique in book illumination. The Miniatures - The Work of a Creative Genius Simon Bening based his work on an unusually wide range of sources, reaching from panel paintings by Hugo van der Goes to engravings by Schongauer. In addition, he treated these motifs in a very creative way, changing them, modeling them, combining them and adding on other individual motifs. The miniatures, especially the calendar miniatures, not only depict major events but also everyday reality. Each motif seems to be interesting enough to be decorated in the utmost perfection, such as peasants on the field, carrying out diverse occupations, according to the season. There is also room for pleasure and delight: boat and sledge rides, and even tournaments take place. Each leaf of this extraordinary work is a testimony to the masterful art of Simon Bening. His work is distinguished by an unequalled wealth of motifs and an unsurpassed sense of imagination. The Fine Art Facsimile Edition The Fine Art Facsmile Edition contains 438 pages in the original format of 16.5 x 11.2 cm. It is decorated with 70 miniature pages and more than 300 pages showing a wealth of decorative motifs, particularly flowers, birds and other animals. The most up-to-date electronic technology combined with traditional craftsmanship guarantee a faithful reproduction of the original. All leaves are gilt-edged on three sides. The edition is strictly limted to 980 numbered copies. The Fine Art Facsimile Edition with two gold-plated clasps is sold out.

There are several attractive botanical stamps including rosettes and grape clusters and a small unicorn rampant repeated around the blind tooled central panel. $15000

Jordanus De Quedlinburg
Opus Postillarum et Sermonum De Tempore
|
Privately Printed, Strassburg, Printer of the Jordanus De Quedlinburg 1483 - Folio, sevententh century sheep over original bevelled wooden boards, some wear and scuffiing, name clipped from blank upper edge of first leaf, few minor stains, last portion with minor damp spotting to upper corners, few insignificant wormholes in blank areas of last several leaves, blank upper tip of final leaf renewed, very large copy with many uncut lower edges and preserving contemporary manuscript catchwords and signature marks. Jordan of Quedlinburg, noted Augustinian scholar, is remembered for his biography of St. Augustine as well as for his work in the reorganization of the Augustines, leading to their emergence as a mendicant order. The unknown printer of this work is yet the subject of scholarly research; his eponym, "Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg," was first assigned by Proctor in l898; Voullieme in 1915 assigned the output of this press to Georg Husner. In 1966, Victor Scholderer questioned the attribution to Huser, concluding that the printer's name will continue to elude scholars. Scholderer comments that this important press which produced over one hundred books, remains one of thte most important of the yet unidentified presses. Goff locates copies of this work in New York, New Haven, Washington, Williamstown, Mass., and at Tulane University in New Orleans (apparently the westernmost location except for the copy we offer). Hain-Copinger 9438; Goff J 477.Because of the value of this item, extra postal insurance or registry fees may be required.
