Albertanus.

| Tractatus de arte loquendi et tacendi. [Colophon]: Explicit liber de doctrina loquendi [et] tacendi ab Albertano causidico brixiesi. Ad instructionem filiorum suorum compositus. Impressus ac finit[us] Meming[en] p[er] Albertis Kun[n]e de Duderstat.
|
Memmingen: Albrecht Kunne. , 1489 42 lines, printed in two columns, 12-line manuscript inscription in two early hands on the title-leaf, some capitals letters in red ink, a few words underlined in red or black ink, single wormhole through text, early manuscript annotations, upper blank margins touched by damp, 8 leaves, small 4to, modern vellum over stiff boards, spine with gilt title lettering vertically, good Albertanus of Brescia (c.1195 to 1251) wrote the treatise De doctrina dicendia et tacendi ("On teaching about speech and silence") in 1245. In them he discusses the place of notaries in public life, and more generally explores the newly emerging role of the professional in public life. The first edition was published in Basle in 1474, and it proved to be a popular text. Possibly because in his writing Albertanus wished to present a rule of life that would lay the foundation for a good society. He believed in the importance of moral restraint based on voluntary participation in a community. Albertanus was very influential, his works were known and used by, amongst others John Gower, Geoffrey Chaucer, and Antonio de Torquemada. There were many translations of his works into French, German, Tuscan, Venetian, Spanish and Dutch, with wide circulation well into the 15th and early 16th centuries, a testament to his broader influence on society. The manuscript poem begins in Latin, whilst the last six lines are in German. (Goff A200; BMC II, 605; Proctor 2785)

VALERIUS MAXIMUS
|
|
| Facta et dicta memorabilia [in the French translation of Simon de Hesdin and Nicolas de Gonesse]. Lyon, Mathias Huss, "23 June"
|
9 fine half-page woodcuts (c. 170 x 165mm.) one at the beginning of each book; large printer's device on verso of penultimate leaf (Polain 44).Large folio. (335 x 240mm.) 308ff. (of 312 - lacks a1(title-page), bifolium G1&G8 (replaced with repeated bifolium G2&G7), and blank final leaf (S8); 3 other blanks present). 56 lines and headline. Late 17th/early 18th century mottled calf (expertly rebacked, corners and lower cover restored). 1489. Extremely rare third edition of the French translation of Valerius Maximus and the second to be illustrated. Huss's first illustrated edition was published in 1485 and this is a reprint of that edition with the same woodcuts and with the error of imposition in the table of contents of book viii corrected. The translation was begun by Simon de Hesdin in 1375, for Charles V, and completed by Nicholas de Gonesse at the request of Jaquemin Courau, treasurer of Jean, duc de Berry, and finished 1401. It was popularly produced as a luxury illuminated manuscript in the 15th century and the first edition of 1475-77 (Southern Netherlands, Printer of Flavius Josephus) left a space of half a page at the beginning of each book for the insertion of a miniature. Examples from the incunable editions of the French translation (a fourth edition was published by Verard in 1499) are scarce with only a very few copies located in institutional collections (see ISTC) or found on the market. The only copy that we can trace on ABPC-online of any of these editions is the Bute copy (part two only, 152ff.) of the 1489 printing sold at auction in 1995.Sadly our copy lacks the title-page and the bifolium G1&G8 is replaced by the repeated bifolium G2&G7, an error which must have taken place in the printer's shop.Provenance. Manuscript notes in a near contemporary French hand on ff 11-13, 159, 168 and 312. 18th/19th century bibliographical notes inside front cover. Ownership stamp on f. a2 of "C.P. Carey".A few small holes to f. a2, mostly marginal, a little dampstained in places, especially towards the end with final leaf frayed at edges, otherwise a fine, well-margined and unwashed copy.BMC VIII, p. 263 (imperfect - wanting ff. 109-16, quire, and last blank). CR 5933. Pr 8563. IGI 10077. Goff V45. ISTC (locates: France - 3 copies; United Kingdom & U.S.A - 2 copies each; Germany, Italy & Netherlands - 1 copy)

Zutphen, Gerard Zerbold van (1367-1398)

|
| Tractatus de spiritualibus ascensionibus.
|
Basle, Johann Amerbach and Johann Petri, before 1489. 8vo; 5.9 in x 4.3 in. (68) leaves. (GW 10689; Goff G-177) Full Calf binding. Good condition. The work at hand is one of Zutphen's two main works. Its systematic structure and emphasis on practical meditation had a great influence on later mystics such as Ignatius of Loyola. It was very popular during the Middle Ages. The text is decorated with numerous beautiful initials. These are carefully drawn and alternatingly coloured in red and blue. With a size of up to three lines, the initials nicely stand out. Furthermore the text is fully rubricated and some passages of the text are highlighted by a bolder and larger typeface. The elegant binding is made of polished calf leather on raised five bands. The covers are decorated with a beautiful gilt-stamped frame with floral ornament corners and a large black-stamped diamond penetrating the golden frame. The inner edges as well as the spine are richly ornate with gilt-stampings. All edges of the text block golden. [Condition of the binding: Good (+) / Condition of the paper: Good (+) / Further remarks: The binding is in good shape. A small tear on spine. The paper has hardly browned with minimal foxing. Last leaf verso with contemporary hand-written notes. Overall a wonderful incunable in extraordinary shape. This is a true gem of Amerbach's printing workshop.] Gerard Zerbold van Zutphen (1367 - 1398), was a Dutch theologian, author and a prominent member of the spiritual movement Devotio moderna. After reading theology at university he joined the fraternity in Deventer where he worked as a librarian, writer and confessor. He died aged 31 in the monastery of the Windesheimer Chorherren in Zwolle on December, 4th 1398, probably as a victim of the plague. Some authors regard him as a pioneer of the reformation movement whereas others declared him one of the Jesuit forefathers. He has also written De spiritualibus ascensionibus; De reformatione virium animae; De libris teutanicalibos; De vestibus pretiosis; Epistolae; Super modo vivendi devotorum. hominum simul commorantium. Johann(es) (of) Amerbach (also Amerbacensis, Amorbachius, de amerbach; born Johannes Welcker c. 1444 - 1513) was one of the most important publishers and printers of the incunabula era in Basle. His catalogue was shaped by the aims and thoughts of the humanist movement. He printed folio editions of Latin bibles, scholastic writings, dictionaries as well as scientific editions of the church fathers (e.g. Augustin, and Ambrosius). Amerbach devoted special attention to the works of contemporary humanists. Some of the authors he published were Petrarca, Ennea Silvio, Marsilius Ficinus, Baptista Mantuanus and Franciscus Philelphus. Amerbach also owned a large collection of type fonts. Amongst them were half a dozen Antiqua types which he especially used for his church father and humanist incunables. Johannes Petri (1441 - 1511) was another famous printer in Basle. He founded the Petrinische Offizin - a printing workshop which can be traced over many generations to today's Schwabe AG, the world's oldest printing and publishing office. At Petri's times it was the base for many reformatory and humanistic writings which he published together with Amerbach.

[Arge[n]tine {Printer of the 1483 Jordanus de Quedlinburg (Georg Husner)} 1489] Small folio (27 cm). [260 of 264] ff. 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 1485, and this is apparently the first of a number of page for page reprints. The imprint information is from the colophon on H5r. This is an uncommon edition in the U.S, though heavily held in Europe; Goff and ISTC locate only two copies (in U.S.), this being the deaccessioned copy of one of those two! The text is printed in double-column format in gothic type. In this copy, virtually all of the initials are nicely accomplished in red or blue. Copinger, II, 6452; ISTC ij00122000; Proctor 618; Goff J122. 19th-century quarter German calf with black mottled paper sides. Various waterstaining throughout, with other stray stains; copy missing first two and final two leaves of text, and the leaves at front and back remargined (with some others repaired). Priced according to faults, not pleasures!

Bruno, Episcopus Herbipolensis (Hrsg.):
|
|
| Psalterium (GWM 36219, Hain 4011).
|
Würzburg, Georg Reyser, vor 1489, Typen 1, 3, 8.. O-Inkunabelblatt (19,3 x 26 cm) mit zweispaltigem Text und Anmerkungen von Bruno in kleiner Schrifttype. Mit rubrizierten Initialen und Textpassagen.. Georg Reyser aus Ensingen leitete in Strassburg von etwa 1468 bis 1478 die Druckerrei, die als die des Drucker des Henricus Ariminensis bekannt ist. Kurt Ohly wies nach, dass diese von Georg und Michael Reyser geführt wurde. Während Michael in Strassburg im Gefängnis saß begann Georg auf Wunsch des Bischofs Rudolf von Scherenberg seine Druckertätigkeit im Jahre 1479 in Würzburg, die 1504 wohl mit seinem Tod endete. Michael Reyser konnte mit Hilfe des Würzburger Bischofs 1480 nach Würzburg nachkommen. Und arbeitete dort bis etwa 1482 und ging anschließend nach Eichstätt, wo er bis 1494 nachweisbar ist. (Geldner I, 63f., 230, 261ff.) Das Blatt wird laut dem Inkunabel-Katalog der Universiätsbibliothek Tübingen (INKA) dem Zeitraum zwischen 1475 bis 1488 zugeordnet. "In dem Psalterium dienen die beiden Straßburger Schriften dazu, die Zusätze des Heiligen Bruno zu den Psalmen kenntlich zu machen, wobei die große Textschrift des Ariminensis-Druckers zur Hervorhebung der Kapitelanfänge dient. Das Psalterium selbst, in liturgischer Form in Rot- und Schwarzdruck gesetzt, ist einer der charakteristischen Missaltypen der Gebrüder Reyser gesetzt, deren strenge Majuskelformen vielfach den Lombarden ähneln, die gleichzeitig in vielfacher Gestalt reichlich in den Reyser'schen Missalien Verwendung gefunden haben." (Konrad Haebler "Der deutsche Wiegendruck, München 1927, S. 72).

| Der Heiligen Leben. Sommerteil Blatt CCCLXV. ( H9982, GWM 11379)
|
Augsburg, Johann Schönsperger, 29. Mai 1489. Type 2,3.. Zweispaltiges, 42-zeiliges Original-Inkunabelblatt (16,4 x 25,8 cm), fingerfleckig, mit Holzschnitt (8,3 x 6,1 cm) von "sant Petronella". Incunabula text woodcut leaf.. Selten. 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.

2 works in one. Folio. [110] unnumbered leaves, i: a-c8, d6, e-2l8, m6, n10. ii: ff. [v] 131 [i] (blank). Roman letter. Capital spaces and guide letters. Very occasional marginal thumbmark, single round wormhole to final gatherings of second work, these also a bit age browned. A well-margined, clean, very good copy on thick paper in contemporary Venetian maroon morocco over thick wooden boards, covers with elegant and intricate knotwork tools within a double frame of knotwork rolltools, and triple fillets, spine in 4 compartments hatched in blind. A very elegant binding, lacking central bosses and 4 ties (original 8 star head studs present on upper cover, missing on lower), a few small wormholes to covers, spine neatly repaired in places at head, foot and joints, generally very good. Occasional early marginalia in a neat and attractive humanist hand. A very clean and wide-margined copy of two Venetian incunables in a strictly contemporary and very attractive Renaissance binding. Justinus was a second century Roman historian. This, his most notable work, he describes as a collection of the most interesting and important passages from Pompeius Trogus' 'Historiae philippicae et totius mundi origina et terrae situs', written in the time of Augustus and now lost. This was a general history of those parts of the world that had come under the auspices of Alexander the Great, and takes as its main theme the Macedonian Empire founded by his father Philip. The last event it records (in Justinius' version) is in 20 B.C. Through his frequent digressions, Justinus here produces not an epitome but rather a useful and sometimes elegant anthology based on the work. It was very popular in the Middle Ages, when the author was frequently confused with Justin Martyr. The Noctes Atticae consists of a miscellaneous anthology on various topics, including philosophy, law, literature, grammar, and history. Gellius (c. 125 - c. 180) wrote the book for the education of his children during his winter nights in Attica, and the work proved very popular into and throughout the Middle Ages. It grew out of a commonplace book that Gellius kept, in which he recorded items of unusual interest that he heard in conversation or read about. The book deliberately has no specific structure, and of the twenty books only 19 have come down to us - the 8th is known only through its index. In it, Gellius quotes extensively from Greek and Latin authors, many of whose works have not survived - the book is therefore a valuable resource in preserving fragments of writings otherwise entirely lost. The binding, although elements of its decoration are common to several printing centers in Italy at this time, bears a strong resemblance to a number of bindings known to have been produced at Venice (and in particular to de Marinis' no. 1532 in vol II of his 'Legatura Artistica in Italia'). In its decoration it shows elements of the assimilation of Eastern design in Italian bookbinding, especially by the Byzantine/Ottoman nature of the central knotwork tools. It must previously have been very grand, and shows evidence of elegant and arabesque furniture at the corners and at the center of the covers. The furniture would most likely have been bronze or silver; the remaining studs holding the stubs of the ties are in bronze. The binding is still an elegant example of Renaissance bookbinding craftsmanship and examples in this condition and are invariably rare. i: BMC V, 221; HC 9651; Goff J-618.ii: BMC V, 464; HC 7522; Klebs 442.6; Goff G-123.

GERARDUS Zerbolt van Zutphen
|
|
| One of the core texts of the Dutch Devotio Moderna. Tractatus de spiritualibus ascensionibus.
|
(Basel, Johannes Amerbach & Johannes Petri, 1488 or 1489). Sm.8vo. Modern vellum, title written on spine. All initials supplied by hand in red or blue, rubricated throughout. (68) lvs. Collation: a-h8, i4. Probably the third edition of this famous mystical and devotional work by Gerardus Zerbolt van Zutphen (1367-1398), one of the most well-known pupils of Geert Grote, the father of the Dutch 'Moderne Devotie' (Devotia Moderna). The first edition was printed in Deventer, together with Zutphen, the birthplace of Gerardus Zerbolt, in the center of the homeland of the Dutch Devotio Moderna. First attributed to the printer Jacob van Breda, the edition is now in the name of Richard Paffraet and is dated 1483-85. The second edition was published in Cologne by Ulrich Zell, ca. 1488. Our edition is dated 'not after 1489' and so the edition Strassburg, Johann Prüss, ca. 1488 may be earlier than our edition.The treatise De spiritualibus ascensionibus is a very popular devotional work, the most important van Gerard's works, and printed many times until well into the 16th century. It describes in 70 chapters the various steps one has to go to rise from this vale of tears to a mental state of paradisical innocence, at lenght treated by Van Rooij in his interesting thesis. On the last 4 pages is added a text "De quatuor in quibus incipientes deo servire debent esse cauti si perficere volunt", which is the first chapter of book II of David van Augsburg's Profectus a well-known manual for novices, sometimes regarded as the last chapter of Gerard's work. The text is finely printed in a small "lettre bâtarde", with 30 lines to a page, and with all initials most carefully and professionally supplied by hand in red and blue, rubricated in red and in blue throughout. Fine copy, with ample margins.

NICHOLAS of Cusa
|
|
| Opuscula theologica et mathematica.

[Strasbourg, Martin Flach, not after 1489] Two parts in one vol, folio (274 x 195 mm), ff [102]; [169, lacking final blank]; capitals supplied in red, numerous woodcut diagrams, one full-page (just touched by binderÕs knife); a few very slight stains, a few wormholes, in a few gatherings affecting some letters, a very fresh, crisp copy in contemporary blindstamped German calf over wooden boards, rebacked and repaired ca 1900 preserving most of the covers and part of the original spine. £65,000
First edition of Nicholas of CusaÕs scientific and philosophical writings, containing his famous theories and speculations about geometry, the infinite, the movement of the earth, and the infinity of the universe. The influence of Nicholas on subsequent thinkers, and in particular on scientists, was immense. Giordano Bruno and Johann Kepler were both heavily indebted to him and it is believed that Copernicus was inspired by his cosmological ideas, including that of heliocentric planetary systems.
Nicholas (1401-1464) was influenced by the Neoplatonists and the writings of Ramon Lull, and from the latter he developed his ideas on using symbols in philosophical investigations. ÔNicholasÕs work puts mathematics and experimental science at the service of philosophy in his attempt to describe the limits of human knowledge. In the De docta ignorantia he made new interpretations of those philosophically oriented introductory books of mathematics with which he was acquainted, most notably BoethiusÕ Institutio geometrica and Thomas BradwardineÕs Geometrica speculativa...
ÔThe Divine, being infinite, is inaccessible to the mind of man, but may be approached through a method of symbolic visualization which resolves apparent antitheses... Thus, if the truth is probably inaccessible to the mind of man, man can intellectually get closer and closer to it through the sum of his private knowledge - without ever quite reaching it, since the truth represents an absolute, unchanging maximum limit beyond the scone of manÕs understanding.
ÔNicholas made extensive use of geometric figures in his visio intellectualis; he chose them because the rational language of demonstration was not suited to explain intellectus - the power of knowing that is superior to human reason. Thus one could, for example, increase the number of vertices of a regular polygon until, in infinity, it was transformed into a circle... Likewise, the contradiction of opposites of a straight line and a circle may be resolved in infinity, since a circle of infinitely long radius has a straight line for its circumference.
ÔAs understood by Nicholas, the infinite could take two forms, the infinitely large and the infinitely small. No contradiction was here implied , however, since the infinitely large and the infinitely small could both be contained in the concept of maximum; the largest possible thing was of maximum largeness, while t he smallest possible thing was of maximum smallness...
ÔSuch geometrical examples are the essence of the coincidentia oppositorum, by means of which Nicholas hoped to resolve all problems formerly considered insoluble...
ÔIn cosmology, the application of the coincidentia oppositorum led Nicholas to determine that there could be no cosmic mechanism or center point for the motions of the heavens, since such a point of necessity included the whole universe... therefore, the universe has no fixed center and no circumference, being relatively infinite. Therefore, the earth is not the center of the universe, nor is it stationary, it moves, as do all other bodies in space, with a motion that is not absolute but relative to the beholder. Nicholas further suggests by analogy that the earth may not be the only body that supports lifeÕ (DSB). Furthermore, Nicholas claimed that the heavenly bodies are made of the same elements as earth, that the stars were other suns that had other worlds orbiting them which were inhabited, and that the earth rotates on its axis, and that an observer on the sun would see the earth as revolving around the sun.
Other texts in this work include his important Complementa arithmetica, in which he Ôexpressed the idea that the difference between the radii of a series of circles inscribed in a series of regular polygons is proportional to the difference in area between the inscribed circle and its corresponding regular polygonÕ (DSB). It presents further refinements of infinitesimal concepts. In De pace fidei Nicholas makes a plea for religious tolerance; Cribatio Alkoran presents a critique of Islam; De beryllo discusses magnifying glasses; De possest Ôuses the example of a circular disc rotating at infinite speed within a stationary ring to show that all points of the circumference of the disc are at all points of the interior of the ring simultaneously - hence, motion and rest are identical, and thus time unfolds from the present and thus the single instant and eternity are the same in infinityÕ (DSB). In De ludo globi he discusses impetus theory and the spiral motion of a partially concave sphere.
Further ideas presented by Nicolas in these texts include using the pulse rate in medical diagnosis and the first description of a hygrometer, utilising woolÕs increase in weight by absorption of humidity.
