Displayed below are selected recent viaLibri matches for books published in 1486 CRESCENZI, Pietro Opus Ruralium Commodorum       Strasbourg: [George Husner], 1486. Early Strasbourg incunable edition and internally fine copy of the best-known account of medieval agriculture, and the most popular practical guide to farming until the 16th century. Crescenzi!s work covered everything from estate management to hunting to viniculture; it was the first important work on European agronomy in the 900 years after Palladius and became the model for many gardening books of the 16th and 17th centuries. In deference to its calendrically concerned predecessors, Opus Ruralium Commodorum is arranged in 12 parts; but it is organized more scientifically, by subject matter rather than months of the year. Although he makes frequent reference to earlier authors such as Albertus Magnus, Palladius, Varro, and Columella, Crescenzi!s approach is critical and draws on his own experience managing the countless difficulties of husbandry and agriculture relating to the maintenance of a great estate. The work is of wide interest, addressing for example fishing, the grafting of grapes, the making of wine, diseases of animals, and of course the cultivation of every sort of crop, drawing upon the procedures of the farmers of Milan, Tuscany, and the author!s own Emilia-Romagna. Of additional note is the advice on the best location and arrangement of a manor, villa or farm, including every point from proper water supply to the dues of the head of the household. Perhaps in an attempt to compete with the herbals of his time, Crescenzi describes over 120 plants useful for medicine and nourishment.Crescenzi!s ideas showed remarkable foresight in his own time and for the next century: for example, he made the first European reference to the !hotbed! method of extending the growing season (a technique from Moorish Spain) and advocated waiting until wine is at least a year old before drinking it!advice very contrary to the contemporary view! Pietro Crescenzi (c.1233-c.1321) was a university-educated Bolognese jurist who apparently decided to devote his time to agronomy rather than the practice of law. The Opus ruralium, finished around 1306, circulated in a rich manuscript tradition as late as the 16th century. The editio princeps appeared in 1471. While the present edition appears to have been the first and only Latin Strasbourg edition, the city!s printers also brought out four later German editions.*See Greene, Landmarks of Botanical History (1983), I, 450, and Anderson,Illustrated history of Herbals (1977), pp. 66-72..

This is the first edition of Juvenal printed with the commentary of Giorgio Valla. Valla was a cousin of the more famous doctor of civil and canon law, Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457). OGiorgio Valla studied Greek at Milan under Constantinus Lascaris in the early 1460Os, and later medicine at Pavia under Giovanni Marliani. He then taught humanities at Pavia, Genoa, and Milan. Valla was a friend of the printer Aldo Manuzio and played a prominent role in the editing and diffusion of Greek and Latin manuscripts, particularly in the areas of mathematics, medicine, and natural philosophy. He wrote commentaries on Cicero, Ptolemy, Juvenal, Pliny the Elder, and translated into Latin works of Aristotle, Galen, Hippocrates, Euclid, and many others. Valla was also renowned for his extensive library of Greek and Latin manuscripts, which was purchased after his death by Albert Pio, prince of Carpi, and is today found almost intact at the Biblioteca Estense at Modena.O (Contemporaries of Erasmus) #11;       [Bookseller: James & Devon Gray Booksellers]  3.   Check availability:     Biblio   Link/Print   Cultural Exchange Between the Low Countries and Italy (1400-1600)       Brepols Publishers.

Der historische Reisebericht von Bernhard von Breydenbach, dem damaligen Mainzer Domdekan, war einer der ersten Pilgerreisef�hrer, der mit Hilfe der neuen Technik des Buchdrucks hergestellt wurde. Der damals ebenfalls mitreisende Maler Erhard Reuwich schuf die Stadtansichten und Illustrationen f�r den Reisef�hrer, der nicht nur die besuchten St�tten n�her beschreibt, sondern auch ethnographische, religions- und kirchengeschichtliche Einsch�be vereint. Zahlreiche herrliche Holzschnitte, die nach den auf der Reise angefertigten Skizzen von St�dten, Inseln, Menschen und Tieren geschaffen wurden, machen dieses Buch zu einer Kostbarkeit. Reuwichs Druckgraphiken dienten sp�ter als Vorbilder f�r den 'Liber Chronikcarum' des Hartmann Schedel. Die 'Reise ins Heilige Land' erschien 1486 in lateinischer und deutscher Sprache nahezu gleichzeitig und wurde in darauffolgenden Jahrzehnten mehrfach neu aufgelegt und auch in spanischer und franz�sischer Sprache herausgegeben.

Often known as 'Hammer of Witches', the Malleus consists of descriptions of the practices of witchcraft together with recommended methods of exterminating them. It was republished twenty-six times and remained a standard work on witchcraft for centuries. Yet this key text has never before been available in a reliable modern scholarly edition. This fully annotated edition is based on the first edition of 1486-7 and presents the Latin text together with a full textual apparatus.

Bernhard von Breydenbach, a wealthy canon of the cathedral at Mainz, compiled the work during a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1483-4. Breydenbach was accompanied by Erhard Reuwich, an artist from Utrecht, who is credited as maker of the map and the six views of Mediterranean towns which accompany the book, Iraklion, Modoni, Rhodes and Venice, Corfu and Parenzo. The Peregrinatio was the first illustrated travel book to be printed. It also broke new ground with the Palestine map and the four large views, which are the first folding plates to appear in a printed book. Reuwich is also the first illustrator to be named in print and his prospects are considered to be the earliest authentic printed town views.

Le brindamos la posibilidad de conocer la cosmograf�a de Tolomeo en edici�n facs�mil del incunable del 1486, conservado en la Universidad Complutense. Tolomeo, astr�nomo, matem�tico y ge�grafo griego que vivi� en el siglo II de nuestra era, esta considerado el sintetizador de los resultados de la astronomia griega. Dos son sus principales v�as de transmisi�n de las obras de Tolomeo. Una a trav�s de su version �rabe, fuente de los traductores al lat�n de Toledo. Otra, a trav�s de Constantinopla, gracias al monje y diplomatico M�ximo Planudes, probable reconstructor de los mapas ptolomaicos. A finales del siglo XV se realizaron las primeras impresiones de la Cosmographia en la traducci�n latina de Jacobo Angelo. La Cosmographia de Tolomeo constituy� la gu�a de exploradores y viajeros hasta el siglo XVI. En ella Europa y Asia se extienden hasta casi la mitad del globo, lo que indujo a Col�n a intentar llegar a este �ltimo continente por accidente y le llevo a descubrir America. Adem�s, Tolomeo supon�a que �frica y Asia estaban unidas por un territorio desconocido, error que se mantuvo hasta el viaje de James Cook en 1775.

Bound in 18th-c. quarter vellum and speckled paper over boards, spine in four compartments, blind ruled, title inked at head of spine; rubbed but solid and attractive. Pinpoint wormhole in lower margin and mild dampstaining on a few leaves; early ownership inscription (16th c.?) at top of first leaf. Perfectly fresh and clean copy of this "practical" book, excellent. Early Strasbourg incunable edition and internally fine copy of the best-known account of medieval agriculture, and the most popular practical guide to farming until the 16th century. Crescenzi?s work covered everything from estate management to hunting to viniculture; it was the first important work on European agronomy in the 900 years after Palladius and became the model for many gardening books of the 16th and 17th centuries. In deference to its calendrically concerned predecessors, Opus Ruralium Commodorum is arranged in 12 parts; but it is organized more scientifically, by subject matter rather than months of the year. Although he makes frequent reference to earlier authors such as Albertus Magnus, Palladius, Varro, and Columella, Crescenzi?s approach is critical and draws on his own experience managing the countless difficulties of husbandry and agriculture relating to the maintenance of a great estate. The work is of wide interest, addressing for example fishing, the grafting of grapes, the making of wine, diseases of animals, and of course the cultivation of every sort of crop, drawing upon the procedures of the farmers of Milan, Tuscany, and the author?s own Emilia-Romagna. Of additional note is the advice on the best location and arrangement of a manor, villa or farm, including every point from proper water supply to the dues of the head of the household. Perhaps in an attempt to compete with the herbals of his time, Crescenzi describes over 120 plants useful for medicine and nourishment.Crescenzi?s ideas showed remarkable foresight in his own time and for the next century: for example, he made the first European reference to the "hotbed" method of extending the growing season (a technique from Moorish Spain) and advocated waiting until wine is at least a year old before drinking it?advice very contrary to the contemporary view! Pietro Crescenzi (c.1233-c.1321) was a university-educated Bolognese jurist who apparently decided to devote his time to agronomy rather than the practice of law. The Opus ruralium, finished around 1306, circulated in a rich manuscript tradition as late as the 16th century. The editio princeps appeared in 1471. While the present edition appears to have been the first and only Latin Strasbourg edition, the city?s printers also brought out four later German editions.*See Greene, Landmarks of Botanical History (1983), I, 450, and Anderson,Illustrated history of Herbals (1977), pp. 66-72.

New. Hardcover. pDiebold Schilling's Spiez Illuminated Chronicle, 15th century - Burgerbibliothek Bern, Mss. H. H. I.16/ppA crowning achievement - Diebold Schilling's Last Masterpiece /p pThe Ultimate Masterpiece of a Great Annalist /ppThree magnificent illuminated chronicles of Diebold Schilling's own hand have come down to us: the Great Burgundian Chronicle, also called the Zurcher Schilling describing the history of the war between the Confederation and Charles the Bold, the Official Bern Chronicle in three volumes, and the so-called Spiez Chronicle, commissioned by Rudolf von Erlach, mayor of Bern, which became the crowning achievement of Schilling's uvre. /ppThis chronicle is the last work executed in the magnificent tradition of Bern chronicles of the 15th century. Diebold Schilling's relationship with Rudolf Erlach's family was particularly good. Schilling's wife Katharina even was godmother of one of Rudolf's sons. Rudolf was very keen to possess his own copy of Schilling's chronicle. /ppThis version, the Spiez Chronicle, would become Schilling's last work, he died in 1486. However, its truly outstanding illustrations make this chronicle the most precious work of Schilling's entire uvre as an artist. /ppRudolf von Erlach, a Nobleman and Councellor /ppRudolf von Erlach was at the height of his political career, when he commissioned his private chronicle of Bern from Diebold Schilling. He belonged to the leading members of the Council of Bern. His family could boast a glorious past as a dynasty of high-ranking officials under the Counts of Nidau. /ppRudolf was born in 1448. In the conflict between Bern and Burgundy he took sides with his father's home town, although he held a number of feudal estates in Burgundy. Immediately, his political career began, and it ended at the top of the city's administration. /ppThe historical work commissioned by him combined the proudness of his family's glorious past with the self-confidence of a Bern statesman, and at the same time expressed Rudolf von Erlach's way of life and thinking. /ppThe Ultimate Achievement of an Annalist /ppWhen Diebold Schilling at Christmas 1483 presented his Official Chronicle of Bern in three volumes to the Bern Council, he may have provoked Rudolf von Erlach's wish to call such a beautiful work his own. He ordered the chronicle just a little later. /ppThe text of the chronicle is written in Schilling's precise hand writing which he had used in previous editions. In 344 illustrations on 808 pages he deals with the history of the City of Bern, from its beginnings to the year 1465. /ppSeveral smaller abbreviations toward the end of the chronicle betray the writer's impatience: due to his advanced age and illness, the annalist had to finish his work in due time. /pp344 Fascinating Compositions /ppThe most unique pictorial decoration make Schilling's last illuminated chronicle the crowning of his comprehensive uvre as an annalist. Its life-like pen drawings coloured with many shades of azure have clearly surpassed the compositions of early illuminated chronicles. /ppA particular feature of these illustrations is the strong formal ability of the artist to direct and combine the main and secondary levels of the action, to create a link between background and foreground scenes. /ppFrequently he allows a charming insight appear in distant landscapes, as if through a window in the background, thus adding a lyrical counterpart to the dramatic events taking place in the foreground. /ppIn the same way as in the text, the illustrations of the chronicle are also dominated by descriptions of war scenes. In the centre, the artist places his protagonists who often appear as two opposed groups of persons. /ppProportion and pose of the figures show the remarkable ability of the artist to reproduce human physiology to the finest detail. The decoration of the book was specially designed to meet Rudolf von Erlach's personal needs. It was supposed to display the glory and honour of his family for posterity. /ppThe Fine Art Facsimile Edition /ppThe facsimile is published in a strictly limited edition of 980 unique numbered copies world-wide. All 808 pages in the format of 39 x 28 cm including 344 mostly full-page illustrations have been reproduced in full accordance with the original. /ppThe leather binding with blind tooling, corner and centre fittings and two metal clasps has been made by hand in a time-consuming process. The headband is faithful to the original and has been stitched by hand and modelled after antique craftsmanship. The double leaves were sewn by hand on five cords. /ppThe Scientific Commentary Volume /ppThe commentary volume of 600 pages includes a complete edition of the text and reveals the outcomes of scientific research begun on the occasion of the reproduction of the manuscript. /ppDocumentation Kit/ppA documentation folder containing four full-sized leaves from the facsimile edition and an illustrated 12-page information brochure is available for information upon request. /p .       [Bookseller: New Boston Used-Books]  45.   Check availability:     Biblio   Link/Print   VORAGINE JACQUES DE [LA LEGENDE DOREE] INCIPIT LEGENDA SANCTO[RUM] QUE LOMBARDICA NOMINAT HISTORIA �       S.l.

Orders placed with the priority shipping option will automatically be canceled. The Malleus Maleficarum is the most famous early modern text on witches and witch hunting. Often known as 'Hammer of Witches', the Malleus consists of descriptions of the practices of witchcraft together with recommended methods of exterminating them. It was republished twenty-six times and remained a standard work on witchcraft for centuries. Yet this key text has never before been available in a reliable modern scholarly edition. This fully annotated edition is based on the first edition of 1486-7 and presents the Latin text together with a full textual apparatus. An extensive introduction discusses the authorship, method of composition, and intellectual background of the work. The second volume provides the only accurate English translation available, together with detailed explanatory notes. This important edition makes this vital text accessible to scholars of the period and offers extraordinary insights into the attitudes and prejudices inspired by the fear of witches.

Terza edizione (la prima usci' a Milano, presso Antonio Zaroto, il 26 Feb.1483) e fedele ristampa della seconda impressa dallo stampatore milanese nel 1485. Interessante raccolta di componimenti poetici del dimenticato umanista milanese amico di Leonardo, composta durante la sua detenzione nel carcere di Monza. Dopo l�insediamento degli Sforza, Piattino fu accolto al seguito del giovane Galeazzo Maria ma nel febbraio 1469, fu da questi fatto imprigionare nel castello di Porta Giovia a causa di un obbligo di corte disertato. Proprio in questa circostanza il Piattino compose il Libellus de carcere e nel vano tentativo di impietosire il duca tento' un suicidio, ma ottenne solo il carcere piu' duro dei Forni di Monza. Scarcerato nell�estate 1470, visse a Modena, nel Monferrato, e ad Urbino come poeta di corte, facendo ritorno a Milano solo dopo l�assassinio di Galeazzo Maria (1476). Allievo del Filelfo e sodale di Leonardo da Vinci, il Piatti fu da questi incaricato di inviare a Lodovico il Moro, che sollecitava l�artista a portare a termine il lavoro, un�epigrafe in lode del padre Francesco da apporre sul basamento della grande statua equestre. Benche' nel Carcere figurino alcuni epigrammi dedicati �duci Mediolanensi�, questi sono indirizzati a Giangaleazzo per chiedere la grazia e non si tratta quindi dei perduti versi composti per il monumento equestre, del quale, come e' noto, venne realizzato il solo modello in gesso che ando' distrutto. Il Libellus e' dedicato Ad magnificum Thomam Thebaldum bononiensem; il Tebaldi fu consigliere ducale e ambasciatore di Carlo VII: grazie al suo ruolo all�interno della corte sforzesca dovette intercedere con successo alla scarcerazione del Piatti. L�Argelati (I, p. 268) ricorda il fatto �plurimum ab obtinendam a principe gratiam bonae frugis attulerat�. Quest�opera poetica e' un resoconto del periodo della carcerazione e dei sentimenti che lo accompagnarono: nelle preghiere a Dio, alla Vergine e ai Santi emerge bene il dolore e l�angoscia, si rivolge poi a S. Caterina, S. Pietro, S. Giorgio e S. Ambrogio ricordando la sua Milano che credeva non avrebbe piu' rivisto, e a S. Sebastiano, festivita' in cui ricorse il suo arresto. Alcuni versi sono dedicati alla S. Madre di Loreto ed alla Vergine di Monza. L�ultimo componimento e' rivolto a Lorenzo de�Medici in ricordo della morte del fratello Giuliano.

Peregrinationes.       Mainz, E. Reuwidh [sic] 1486 - First edition. Chancery folio (305 by 225mm), 164 leaves, 44 lines variable, woodcut frontispiece, seven folding topographical views, woodcuts in text, modern calf gilt. The first illustrated travel book; the first detailed and accurate printed illustrations of some of the most important European and Middle Eastern cities, such as Venice, and Jerusalem; the first folding plates to appear in a printed book; the first depiction of a giraffe, and for the first time, the Arab and Armenian alphabets. Bernhard von Breydenbach (1440-1497) was made a canon of Mainz Cathedral around 1450 and was appointed Dean in 1484. It does not appear that he was ever ordained. Breydenbach died in 1497 and was buried in the cathedral. When his tomb was opened in 1582, his body was found to be perfectly preserved, having being embalmed with substances brought back from his journey in the Near and Middle East. Breydenbach's pilgrimage, which took place from April 1483 to January 1484, was ostensibly undertaken in the hope of obtaining salvation for his soul. He had lived an apparently reckless life in his youth. He and two companions started out from Oppenheim near Mainz, though it seems that the pilgrimage proper did not begin in earnest until they reached Venice two weeks later, where they spent three weeks before bargaining for passage on a galley. They sailed on June 1st and arrived at Jaffa on June 30th. En route to the Holy Land they took in Parenzo, Corfu, Modon, Candia, and Rhodes, all of which are illustrated in the 'Peregrinationes'. The main holy sites, including Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Mount Sinai, were visited, before the party proceeded to Cairo and down the Nile to Rosetta. They set sail homeward from Alexandria on November 15th. Encountering a storm on the homeward passage, they did not reach Venice until January 8, 1484. Although Breydenbach is generally described as the author of this work, it seems that the Latin text may have been compiled by Martin Roth of the Dominican convent of Pforzheim, who did not make the journey. The book was illustrated by Erhard Reuwich of Utrecht, described by the author as a 'skilful painter'. However, nothing more is known about Reuwich, and no other specimen of his work has been recorded. The woodcutter is unknown, though it may have been Reuwich himself. In terms of the illustrations themselves, the frontispiece - of a richly dressed female bearing the armorial escutcheons of the three principal pilgrims - was the earliest known woodcut to show cross-hatching. Many of the large views were printed from more than one block - that of the Holy Land and Egypt, for instance, was printed from three blocks. In the words of Davies, the views 'are distinguished from other woodcut views published in the fifteenth century by their air of truth as well as their liveliness, being full of groups of figures, some pursuing their everyday occupations'. As a preparatory guide for pilgrimages to the Holy Land, the 'Peregrinationes' found a wide audience; there were no fewer than eight incunable editions and 12 editions in all between 1486 and 1522. There were also a few reprints of the text-only and abridgements in various languages. In spite of the vulnerability of the woodblocks, it appears that they were almost as well travelled as their author, appearing in editions printed in Lyon (1489-90), Speier (1490) and Zaragoza (1498).

Saarbr�cken 2008 Bernhard von Breydenbach Die Reise ins Heilige Land - Peregrinatio in terram Sanctam -       - Pilgerfahrten erfreuten sich im Laufe des Mittelalters einer gesteigerten Beliebtheit. Heute wie damals konnte man eine Reise ins heilige Land inklusive der Besichtigung der heiligen St�tten buchen. Der historische Reisebericht von Bernhard von Breydenbach, dem damaligen Mainzer Domdekan war einer der ersten Pilgerreisef�hrer, der mit Hilfe der neuen Technik des Buchdrucks hergestellt wurde. Der damals ebenfalls mitreisende Maler Erhard Reuwich schuf die Stadtansichten und Illustrationen f�r den Reisef�hrer, der nicht nur die besuchten St�tten n�her beschreibt, sondern auch ethnographische, religions- und kirchengeschichtliche Einsch�be vereint. Zahlreiche herrliche Holzschnitte, die nach den auf der Reise angefertigten Skizzen von St�dten, Inseln, Menschen und Tieren geschaffen wurden, machen dieses Buch zu einer Kostbarkeit. Reuwichs Druckgraphiken dienten sp�ter als Vorbilder f�r den �Liber Chronikcarum� des Hartmann Schedel. Zum ersten Mal �berhaupt zeigt dieser Reisef�hrer die Ansichten der besuchten Orte und eine Karte des heiligen Landes. Die �Reise ins Heilige Land� erschien 1486 in lateinischer und deutscher Sprache nahezu gleichzeitig und wurde in darauffolgenden Jahrzehnten mehrfach neu aufgelegt und auch in spanischer und franz�sischer Sprache herausgegeben. Bis heute erfreuen sich interessierte Leser an den Erlebnissen Bernhard von Breydenbachs.

By returning to original sources, Natali succeeds in introducing a new Andrea del Sarto (1486-1530), one whose brilliant and moving pictures leap off the pages with startling freshness. Since the 16th century, Andrea has been pictured as a "timid soul, " a view first proposed in Vasari's Lives and perpetuated without revision by later writers. According to this view, the artist was so shy and irresolute that he squandered his gift, living in near obscurity and refusing prosperity and worldly honors. Not so, says Natali, who argues instead that Andrea chose a simple but culturally vibrant life in a circle of like-minded friends — intellectuals and common folk who practiced material austerity and humility. How can we label as timid an artist who painted a fresco cycle in Florence's most prestigious sacred institution when he was barely twenty years old? asks Natali. How irresolute was the man who accepted an open-ended invitation from French king Francis to join his court in an era when few artists left Florence; who — amid rigid orthodoxy and accusations of heresy — filled his sacred paintings with bold theological content; who headed teams of renowned artists in learned artistic debates and in the execution of major commissions? With such provocative insights, this volume is certain to stimulate and delight art historians and nonscholars alike.

Diebold Schilling's Spiez Illuminated Chronicle, 15th century - Burgerbibliothek Bern, Mss. H. H. I.16A crowning achievement - Diebold Schilling's Last Masterpiece The Ultimate Masterpiece of a Great Annalist Three magnificent illuminated chronicles of Diebold Schilling's own hand have come down to us: the Great Burgundian Chronicle, also called the Z�rcher Schilling describing the history of the war between the Confederation and Charles the Bold, the Official Bern Chronicle in three volumes, and the so-called Spiez Chronicle, commissioned by Rudolf von Erlach, mayor of Bern, which became the crowning achievement of Schilling's uvre. This chronicle is the last work executed in the magnificent tradition of Bern chronicles of the 15th century. Diebold Schilling's relationship with Rudolf Erlach's family was particularly good. Schilling's wife Katharina even was godmother of one of Rudolf's sons. Rudolf was very keen to possess his own copy of Schilling's chronicle. This version, the Spiez Chronicle, would become Schilling's last work, he died in 1486. However, its truly outstanding illustrations make this chronicle the most precious work of Schilling's entire uvre as an artist. Rudolf von Erlach, a Nobleman and Councellor Rudolf von Erlach was at the height of his political career, when he commissioned his private chronicle of Bern from Diebold Schilling. He belonged to the leading members of the Council of Bern. His family could boast a glorious past as a dynasty of high-ranking officials under the Counts of Nidau. Rudolf was born in 1448. In the conflict between Bern and Burgundy he took sides with his father's home town, although he held a number of feudal estates in Burgundy. Immediately, his political career began, and it ended at the top of the city's administration. The historical work commissioned by him combined the proudness of his family's glorious past with the self-confidence of a Bern statesman, and at the same time expressed Rudolf von Erlach's way of life and thinking. The Ultimate Achievement of an Annalist When Diebold Schilling at Christmas 1483 presented his Official Chronicle of Bern in three volumes to the Bern Council, he may have provoked Rudolf von Erlach's wish to call such a beautiful work his own. He ordered the chronicle just a little later. The text of the chronicle is written in Schilling's precise hand writing which he had used in previous editions. In 344 illustrations on 808 pages he deals with the history of the City of Bern, from its beginnings to the year 1465. Several smaller abbreviations toward the end of the chronicle betray the writer's impatience: due to his advanced age and illness, the annalist had to finish his work in due time. 344 Fascinating Compositions The most unique pictorial decoration make Schilling's last illuminated chronicle the crowning of his comprehensive uvre as an annalist. Its life-like pen drawings coloured with many shades of azure have clearly surpassed the compositions of early illuminated chronicles. A particular feature of these illustrations is the strong formal ability of the artist to direct and combine the main and secondary levels of the action, to create a link between background and foreground scenes. Frequently he allows a charming insight appear in distant landscapes, as if through a window in the background, thus adding a lyrical counterpart to the dramatic events taking place in the foreground. In the same way as in the text, the illustrations of the chronicle are also dominated by descriptions of war scenes. In the centre, the artist places his protagonists who often appear as two opposed groups of persons. Proportion and pose of the figures show the remarkable ability of the artist to reproduce human physiology to the finest detail. The decoration of the book was specially designed to meet Rudolf von Erlach's personal needs. It was supposed to display the glory and honour of his family for posterity.

Scotus Pauperum super quatuor libris sententiarum.       (Toulouse, Heinrich Mayer, 1486). - in-4. 256ff. Veau brun, dos � nerfs, plats orn�s d'un d�cor � froid (Reliure moderne dans le go�t du temps). Edition Originale tr�s rare. Pr�cieux incunable toulousain, sorti des presses d'Henry Mayer, l'un des premiers et plus illustres imprimeurs de la cit�. Deschamps ne connaissait pas de livre imprim� par Mayer ant�rieur � 1488. Desbarreaux dit au sujet de ce "rare volume" : "Ce livre est fort bien imprim�. Les caract�res du texte sont menus, tr�s nets et ont � peine 4 points typographiques. Les caract�res du titre et des t�tes de chapitre en ont 7. Le papier est �pais, cors�, un peu fauve et il porte pour filigrane 'la main qui b�nit'.". Cet ouvrage est un commentaire sur les �crits du th�ologien et philosophe d'origine �cossaise Jean Duns dit Duns-Scot. Il est l'?uvre de l'�rudit espagnol originaire de Sarinena (Aragon) Guillaume Gorris, qui occupait la charge de professeur � l'Acad�mie de Th�ologie de Toulouse. Il fut r�imprim� l'ann�e suivante � Lyon, puis en 1489 � Cologne. Caract�res gothiques, exemplaire enti�rement rubriqu� en rouge. Titre un peu sali, petit trou au dernier feuillet, quelques mouillures au d�but et � la fin. Bon exemplaire par ailleurs, grand de marges, comportant des annotations anciennes.
