Robert Bucholz, Newton Key
Early Modern England 1485-1714
      BLACKWELL PUBL. Early Modern England 1485-1714 is the first new survey of the Tudor-Stuart period in a quarter century. Written by two leading scholars and experienced teachers of the subject, it assumes no prior knowledge of English history. The text is broken up with reader aids including maps, illustrations, and genealogies. The narrative shows how, under the Tudors and the Stuarts, England transformed itself from a feudal and relatively minor European state into a constitutional monarchy and the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth. The story of struggles over governmental and religious policies is enlivened by snapshots of how social and cultural changes affected ordinary English men and women. The authors also cover developments in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales that are relevant to English history. An introduction sets the scene, providing students with an overview of the physical and mental geography of early modern England. Opening and closing chapters explain how the events covered in the book fit into the course of English history. ISBN10: 0631213929.

Taxation Under the Early Tudors 1485-1547
      Brand new. If taxation is the mobilization of economic resources for political ends, it is evident that any study of taxation must probe well beyond the administrative technicalities of its subject. Social, economic, political and administrative history are all part of the investigation.The early Tudor period is especially significant in the history of taxation. This new study examines the taxes granted by parliament to the crown between 1485 and 1547. Under Henry VIII, taxation based on the direct assessment of each individual was revived, having been abandoned as unworkable in the fourteenth century. In the long run, the Tudor experiment failed: direct assessment was abandoned again after decades of complaint about evasion and under-assessment in the mid-seventeenth century, and was not restored until the end of the eighteenth century. But examination of the experiment, and of the timing and causes of its failure, throws light on the changing political limits of the Tudor state.

ALBERTI Leon Battista
I DIECI LIBRI DE L'ARCHITETTURA . da Latina ne la volgar lingua con molta diligenza tradotti. Vinegia, Vincenzo Vaugris, 1546.
      (cm. 15,8) legatura solido Pieno Vitello bruno dell'epoca, dorso con nervi e filetti oro, piatti incorniciati da filetto in oro, due lacci metallici di cui uno mancante; cc. 12 nn. di cui l'ultima bianca, cc. 248, c. 1 c. con marca tipografica. L'opera è dedicata dal traduttore Pietro Lauro a Bonifacio Bevilacqua. Vecchio rinforzo al verso del frontis, qualche lieve macchia. L'ultima pagina con la marca tipog. è stata anticamente colorata a tempera rosso-bruno ed il colore si intravede anche al verso, ma senza danno al testo. Lievi difetti alla legatura, peraltro bell'esemplare nitido e fresco. - Prima edizione assoluta in lingua moderna e prima traduzione in volgare di quest'opera fondamentale del Rinascimento. L'editio princeps del "De re aedificatoria" apparve a Firenze nel 1485 e riprone in dieci libri la struttura del testo di Vitruvio. I primi tre libri riguardano il progetto e l'esecuzione di un'opera architettonica; il terzo e quarto riguardano le grandi opere come città e ponti; l'ottavo e nono libro trattano dell'apparato ornamentale, infine il decimo tratta del restauro e di idraulica. L'opera è importante non solo per la tecnica dell'architettura, ma anche per il pensiero rinascimentale ivi esposto. - Fowler 5; Cicognara 373; Schlosser 121-127; Adams A 487; BM STC 15.

With the usual imperfections associated with early herbal leaves: some browning smudging and foxing but no serious defects and most leaves in excellent condition the group as a whole quite good and certainly appealing. This set includes leaves from two different 1485 editions and a 1486/87 printing of GART DER GESUNTHEIT (Mainz: Peter Schöffer 1485; Augsburg: Hans Schönsperger 1485; and Basel: Michael Furter 1486/87); and leaves from two different editions of ORTUS SANITATIS (Mainz: Jacob Meydenbach 1491 and Paris: Antoine Vérard 1500). In addition there are nine 16th century leaves one each from the HERBARI ODER KREÜTERBUCH; the HERBOLARIO VOLGARE; the CONTRAFAYT KREÜTERBUCH of OTTO BRUNFELS; an edition of ORTUS SANITATIS from 1538; DE HISTORIA STIRPIUM of LEONHART FUCHS; his NEW KREÜTERBUCH; the KREUTTERBUCH of EUCHARIUS ROSSELIN; the NEW KREÜTERBUCH of HIERONYMUS BOCK; and the KREUTTERBUCH of PIER ANDREA MATTIOLI. Finally there is a 1610 printing of the KRÄUTERBUCH of DIOSCORIDES and a really lovely leaf from the ANLEITUNG ZU DER PFLANZENKENNTNIS of SALOMON SCHINZ.

The book has been called THE MOST IMPORTANT MEDIEVAL WORK ON NATURAL HISTORY WITH ILLUSTRATIONS, and it is the first Herbal at all written and printed in the vernacular. Claus Nissen (in BBI) describes the publication of it as a decisive turning-point in botanical illustration ("das (es) in der botanischen Illustrationsgeschichte ein ganz entscheidenden Wendepunkt bedeutet").GART DER GESUNDHEIT takes up a unique position in the family of Herbals or Hortus, which in the sense of the fifteenth century is not a botanical treatise, but a medical book intended for both the layman and the physician. It calls attention to the valuable herbs free to all, and similarly also to remedies derived from animals and minerals, a popular medicine book but in no way popular in the modern sense, as it served also in the technical education at the time. The prototype of the Hortus-family is HERBARIUS (Latin), also published by Schoeffer in 1484, the GART, though based on the Herbarius, "is a new creation in the vernacular, distinguished by original concepts, both textually and artistically, while the Hortus proper, combining both the virtues and vices of the former, is more ambitious in scope, more complex because of added material - an elaboration of the Herbarius, but less lucid and original than the Gart der Gesundheit" (Klebs).The GART inspired several contemporary printing presses immediately and gave rise to at least 14 other incunabula editions of Latin Herbarius (none in folio, mostly in quarto) and none with the GART- illustrations, but with copies in smaller design. Secondly, the 15 famous copied editions with the same title and also in the vernacular, starting already the same year with the fine incunabula from Augsburg, printed by Schönsperger 1485 (Schönsperger 1486, 1487, 1488, Dickmut, Ulm 1487, Grüninger, Strassburg c. 1488, Basel, Furter, c. 1490 etc.) Their cuts are copies from the GART. - The last member of the family, the HORTUS (Sanitatis or Ortus), sometimes called "the larger Hortus" - GART "the smaller Hortus", was inspired and largely derived from the GART and it has 5 incunabula editions, among these the famous Meydenbach-e

FORESI BASTIANO
LIBRO CHIAMATO AMBIZIONE.
      Senza note tipografiche (Firenze, Antonio di Bartolomeo Miscomini, c. 1485), in-4, ff. 90 nn. (compresi primo e ultimo bianchi), legatura coeva genuina in pergamena floscia, dorso con fili di cucitura in vista, interessanti annotazioni manoscritte antiche sul primo contropiatto e nei fogli bianchi allinizio e in fine. Prima ed unica edizione di questopera del Foresi (1424 ca. - 1488, notaio fiorentino). Il Libro chiamato Ambizione e' un poemetto in terzine dedicato a Lorenzo de Medici: si tratta di una versione in terza rima delle Georgiche sullorigine favolosa di Firenze. Nelle prime nove lautore e' persuaso da Virgilio a non porgere orecchio allAmbizione, la quale narra dellorigine mitologica, storia, fama e bellezze di Firenze per indurlo a prender parte alla vita politica e al governo della citta'; il Foresi, seguendo i consigli di Virgilio, decide di dedicarsi allagricoltura, parafrasando le egloghe del noto poeta latino. Il fatto che il componimento del Foresi non sia stato mai piu' pubblicato e' da ascrivere probabilmente al contenuto dellopera in aperta opposizione al governo e di denuncia sulla falsita' del mito apologetico di Firenze novella Roma. Sul margine inferiore della prima pagina nota di possesso di mano del sec. XVII, Bibl. Col. Sen.[ensis] Soc. Jesu; nellinterno del piatto anteriore e sul recto del primo f. bianco due madrigali di mano fiorentina contemporanea: Vn falso spechio, che di' e notte stanche in vagheggiarti, fa che vadi altiera, ma non ti dice l ver, chen questo manche, lui ti fa dolce, che se ritruosa e fiera. Vo tu veder quanto belleza abranche, se sei crudele o pia, fallace o vera ? Or lassa spechio e guarda gli occhi miei, e li' chogniosserai quel che tu sei.; Onde auiene che fra noi virtu' si chiami un atto, um modo, un operar, chaltroue per publicho parer uitio senfami ? Dicha quel che gli pare ciaschum, che doue perseuerantia sia, stimo uirtute e uitio dabondar de uoglie none; ragione e' ben che in la eletion se mute. Sul verso dellultimo f. altre note di mano antica. Provenienza: Richard Heber (vedi Cat. di vendita, Parte VII, Londra 1835, no 2403), e Martini. Esemplare assai interessante di estrema freschezza e purezza (lievi arrossamenti) di opera rara e importante (censita in soli 15 esemplari nel mondo). CAT. MARTINI 177. GOFF F243. IGI 4015. BMC VI 644. GAMBA,1099. DBIT XLVIII, pp. 795-797.

(Jacobus de Voragine):
Leben der Heiligen: Winterteil (Legenda aurea, deutsch): "sant prisca" (GW M11369).
      Augsburg, Johann Schönsperger, 10. Januar 1485. Type 1.. Einspaltiges, 33-zeiliges Original-Inkunabelblatt mit einem kolorierten Holzschnitt (6,2 x 8,2 cm). Im Randbereich Reste von 3 Papiermontagestreifen. Blattgröße: 18,8 x 27,6 cm. Incunabula text woodcut leaf.. Sauberer Druck auf festem Papier. Der Holzschnitt zeigt die Heilige Jungfrau Sankt Prisca. 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. (Becker; Overgaauw: Aderlass + Seelentrost 2003, 219) Ein reines Textblatt mit Wasserzeichen: Ochsenkopf mit Standarte kann für 70,- Euro erworben werden.

Fol. 317 recto & verso with a long commentary in contemporary hand. The hand-colouring well preserved and printed on well preserved thick paper. ¶ The extremely scarce first edition of GART DER GESUNDHEIT, a truly remarkable book, not only in the sense of its content as "a landmark in the history of botanical illustration"(Hunt), but also with its position in the history of printing, as it was produced by Gutenberg's head assistant (Meisterschüler), PETER SCHOEFFER in Mainz, in the Gutenberg premises which were taken over by Schoeffer and Fust. The book has been called THE MOST IMPORTANT MEDIEVAL WORK ON NATURAL HISTORY WITH ILLUSTRATIONS, and it is the first Herbal at all written and printed in the vernacular. Claus Nissen (in BBI) describes the publication of it as a decisive turning-point in botanical illustration ("das (es) in der botanischen Illustrationsgeschichte ein ganz entscheidenden Wendepunkt bedeutet").GART DER GESUNDHEIT takes up a unique position in the family of Herbals or Hortus, which in the sense of the fifteenth century is not a botanical treatise, but a medical book intended for both the layman and the physician. It calls attention to the valuable herbs free to all, and similarly also to remedies derived from animals and minerals, a popular medicine book but in no way popular in the modern sense, as it served also in the technical education at the time. The prototype of the Hortus-family is HERBARIUS (Latin), also published by Schoeffer in 1484, the GART, though based on the Herbarius, "is a new creation in the vernacular, distinguished by original concepts, both textually and artistically, while the Hortus proper, combining both the virtues and vices of the former, is more ambitious in scope, more complex because of added material - an elaboration of the Herbarius, but less lucid and original than the Gart der Gesundheit" (Klebs).The GART inspired several contemporary printing presses immediately and gave rise to at least 14 other incunabula editions of Latin Herbarius (none in folio, mostly in quarto) and none with the GART- illustrations, but with copies in smaller design. Secondly, the 15 famous copied editions with the same title and also in the vernacular, starting already the same year with the fine incunabula from Augsburg, printed by Schönsperger 1485 (Schönsperger 1486, 1487, 1488, Dickmut, Ulm 1487, Grüninger, Strassburg c. 1488, Basel, Furter, c. 1490 etc.) Their cuts are copies from the GART. - The last member of the family, the HORTUS (Sanitatis or Ortus), sometimes called "the larger Hortus" - GART "the smaller Hortus", was inspired and largely derived from the GART and it has 5 incunabula editions, among these the famous Meydenbach-edition, Mainz 1491, the 3 Prüss-editions, Strassbourg 1496, 1497 and ca. 1499, and the Paris-edition by Verrad ca. 1500. Later the GART inspired both Fuchs and Brunfels.The GART DER GESUNDHEIT must not be confused with the Herbarius Latinus of 1484 by Schoeffer, although it is based on this, as the GART is not a translation from this, but a much enlarged work, nearly twice in proportion, in folio, not in quarto and with new illustrations. Many of the wood-cuts to the Gart are evidently made from drawings of living plants and mostly with full-page illustrations. The wood-cuts must in part have been based on earlier drawings in manuscript, but a considerable number were newly and faithfully designed from nature, and all are cut with a charming simplicity and true decorative quality. Bernard Reuwich of Utrecht is thought to have made 65 of the cuts. He accompanied Bernhard von Breydenbach to Palestine in 1483-84 (Peregrinationes in terram Sanctam, 1486) and these 65 cuts were the FIRST FAITHFULL RENDITIONS OF PLANTS IN A PRINTED BOOK, and showed some middle-eastern plants for the first time. These large cuts were never reprinted! - The STRAWBERRY, cultivated during the 15th century is here depicted for the first time (fol. 160). The text of the GART was probably done by Dr. Johann von Cube, physician of the town of Frankfurt. He compiled it from older works such as Hippocrates, Galen, Plinius, Dioscorides etc.. "Since it is one of the most extensive of the early printed works in German language it thus became an important monument to modern German language, a remarkable source for folklore and dialect studies" (Hunt Collection).PETER SCHOEFFER was Gutenberg's head assistant (Meisterschüler), and he worked with him on the 42-line Bible from around 1452, and he finished the printing of the Gutenberg-Bible in 1455 after he and Fust had taken over the Gutenberg-officin. From 1468 Schoeffer was the only owner of the business. For the GART, Schoeffer invented a NEW TYPE FACE which he later added to his repertoire, particularly suitable as a German text type. It belongs to the group of semi-cursive types which became popular within German printers in the late part of the century (the Oberrheinische Druckbastarda). It was also used in Schoeffer's famous "Chronecken der Sassen, 1492". - "When it appeared, the Hortus (i.e. the GART) was the most ambitious illustrated work which Peter Schoeffer had produced" (Hellmut Lehmann-Haupt in Peter Schoeffer of Gernsheim and Mainz..N.Y., 1950). - Schoeffer is one of the greatest in the history of printing and he was Europe's first broadly successful printer of books. The first 40 years in the history of printing was an eventful period, and Schoeffer is distinguished by many innovations, including the first printed book stating its date of publication, the first book printed in multiple colours throughout, the first book printed with decorative initials, the first book printed with a publisher's device, and the first edition of any classical text, including the first Greek type."In Dr. Klebs opinion, the Gart der Gesundheit was a landmark in the history of botanical illustration, one which marked perhaps THE GREATEST SINGLE STEP ever made in that art; its delineations of plants, breaking away from the traditional stylized woodcut, were not only unsurpassed, but unequalled for nearly half a century." (Jane Quinby in the note to Hunt No. 5). Wilfrid Blunt (in The Art of Botanical Illustration) calls it the "ONLY BOTANICAL INCUNABULUM OF REAL IMPORTANCE"."So ist dieser GART wohl das wichtigste naturwissenschaftliche, illustrierte Werk des ausgehende Mittelalters zu nennen. Man kann dieses Buch wohl ein WUNDER DES BUCHDRUCKERKUNST nennen." (Karl Eugen Heilmann in "Kräuterbücher in Bild und Geschichte" 1973).No more than a handful of copies of this work have survived in public libraries, 3 complete copies are recorded (Library of Congress and New York Botanical Garden Library, only one in Europe: Universitätsbibliothek Erlangen-Nürnberg) - the 2 copies in the British Library and in Basel/Bern are both incomplete.Hain *8948 - Garrison & Morton No 95 - Nissen BBI No 2267 - Hunt Botanical Collection No 5 - Klebs, Incunabula Scientifica et Medica: 507.1 - Pritzel: 10823. - Brunet III p. 343 (wrongly describes it as a translation from the Latin Herbarius). - Wellcome No 3319 (incomplete) - Not in Waller-and Osler Collections.

Lievi difetti alla legatura, peraltro bell'esemplare nitido e fresco. - Prima edizione assoluta in lingua moderna e prima traduzione in volgare di quest'opera fondamentale del Rinascimento. L'editio princeps del "De re aedificatoria" apparve a Firenze nel 1485 e riprone in dieci libri la struttura del testo di Vitruvio. I primi tre libri riguardano il progetto e l'esecuzione di un'opera architettonica; il terzo e quarto riguardano le grandi opere come città e ponti; l'ottavo e nono libro trattano dell'apparato ornamentale, infine il decimo tratta del restauro e di idraulica. L'opera è importante non solo per la tecnica dell'architettura, ma anche per il pensiero rinascimentale ivi esposto. - Fowler 5; Cicognara 373; Schlosser 121-127; Adams A 487; BM STC 15.

(E)SPINA, Alfonso de
Fortalicii fidei.
      Nuremberg, Antonii Koberger, 1485. En folio mayor (382 x 256 mm). GÓTICO (5), 154, (1) ff. Encuadernación en holandesa con puntas en piel. INCUNABLE bastante raro de este autor español. Temprana edición de esta obra que siempre ha tenido mucho aprecio y alta cotización en el mercado. Existen numerosas ediciones posteriores. Sin duda la obra más influyente en su género. La obra combate las sectas de Herejes, Judíos, Moros y sus Sectas, y de los efectos que causaron en los países donde se asentaron. Así, el autor, Alfonso de Espina, religioso franciscano que fue del convento de Valladolid nos dice en su obra: “El Rey que echó de España los Judios, fue muy bueno, y tuvo prósperos sucesos y el que los restituyó los tuvo malos, y fue muy malo, entre ellos la pérdida de España que fue poco después. Y entonces los Judios se quedaron a vivir con los Moros. Y quando se comenzó a recuperar, los Judios se quedaron con el vencedor con las tierras que poseían, y se les permitía vivir en su Secta.” (Peñalosa, Las cinco excelencias del español, 1629. p.35). En la obra también se hace mención al CID CAMPEADOR y la expulsión de los moros de Valencia. Tipografía gótica, impreso a dos columnas, 70 líneas por página. Magnífico ejemplar, limpio y con muy grandes márgenes. Referencias: Goff A-480; Pell 563; Polain (B) 158; Palau 82472; BMC II 247

Jhds.. Erstausgabe; unter den drei bekannten Varianten ist dies diejenige mit der xylographischen Initiale "J". - "Insgesamt liegen heute elf Wiener Kleindrucke vor, die teils durch Orts- und Jahresangabe, teils durch inhaltliche und formale Kriterien auf die Zeit zwischen 1482 und 1486 festzulegen sind. Sie weisen alle dieselben Typen und dieselben Gestaltungsmerkmale auf [...]. In neuerer Zeit haben sich die meisten Autoren der Ansicht von Ignaz Schwarz angeschlossen, als Drucker sei Stefan Koblinger zu betrachten, der bis 1480 in Vicenza gearbeitet habe und dann nach Wien gegangen sei [...]" (Durstmüller). - Die Bulle der Heiligsprechung Leopolds von Babenberg durch Papst Innozenz VIII., der einzigen seines Pontifikats, ist das Ergebnis mehr als hundertjährigen Bemühens der Babenberger. Der Markgraf Leopold III. (1073-1136) genoss höchstes Ansehen und wurde duch sein Wirken zum Schutzpatron Österreichs. Die Klöster, allen voran Melk und Klosterneuburg, hatten ihm viel zu verdanken und er legte den ersten Grund zum Glanz der späteren Kaiserstadt Wien. - Einband min. berieben. Kl. Eintrag, Stempel u.

ALCHABITIUS.
Libellus Ysagogicus Abdilasi…qui dicitur alchabitius ad magisterium iuditiorum astrorum: interpretatus a Johanne Hispalensi. [with:] Commentum Johannis de Saxonia super textu Alchabicii…
      Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, [before 4 November] 1485. 4to. Text in Roman, commentary in Gothic letter.98 unnumbered leaves, aa-ll8, mm10. Woodcut frontispiece table of a globe showing the Tropics, polar circles etc., three further woodcut diagrams in text, several tables, many large and smaller white on black foliate woodcut initials. Very slight marginal dampstaining to some gatherings at end, touching text, a little light marginal soiling. Generally a very good copy in recent vellum over boards. Occasional early marginalia. Attractive illustrated scientific incunable, the second Ratdolt edition of an important Arabic astrological text in the translation of Johanes Hispaliensis. Alchabitius was Abu al-Saqr 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Uhman ibn Ali al-Quabisi (fl. 950), a recognised authority on Ptolemy's Almagest. His main work was the 'Introduction to the Art of Astrology', translated into Latin in 1144 by Joannes Hispalensis. Although the work was not original, it was "highly valued as a textbook" (DSB), and extremely popular in Medieval Europe. Its prime importance is in its quotations from al-Kindi, the Indians, Ptolemy, Dorotheus of Sidon, Masha'allah, Hermes Trismegistus, and Valens. The work is an introductory exposition of some of the fundamental principles of genethlialogy (casting nativities; that is, predicting the course of a person's life based on the positions of the stars and planets at the moment of their birth - the root of the fundamental techniques of astrology), and discusses i.a. the Zodiac and each of the signs individually, as well as the attributes of the planets, and relates the planets both to the hours of the day and night and to 'male' and 'female' elements. De Saxonia prepared his commentary at Paris in 1331, which was corrected by Bartholomeum de Alten de Nusia in the present edition. Ratdolt was active both in Venice and Augsburg and printed some of the most interesting and sought-after scientific incunables. His works are characterised by their elegant typography, layout, and illustration; this one is no exception.
