DIOGENES LAERTIUS
Vitae et sententiae philosophorum (Translated by Ambrosius Traversarius.Edited by Benedictus Brognolus)
|
(Bonetus Locatellus for) Octavius Scotus Venice 18. December 1490 19th century vellum 4to . "The chief service of Diogenes Laertius (fl. 220) in his Lives was the preservation of the 'Sovran Maxims' of Epicurus, the collection of the forty most important articles in the Epicurean doctrine. Other biographies of scientific (including chemical) interest are those of Aristotle, Democritus, Leucippus, and Theophrastus. Diogenes's famous Lives of the philosophers was among the favorite schoolbooks of the ealier Renaissance, and there were numerous editions of it, especially in Italy where is remained in favor until the beginning of the seventeenth century. The text contains many biographical facts and quotations not easily accessible elsewhere. ... A rare incunable" (Neville Historical Chemical Library, I, 368: this edition) [112] leaves. Roman type; varying sizes of woodcut initials; Some neat contemporary annotations with later title inscription; some guide letters; few tiny round worm holes in the front of the volume and worm hole in bottom blank margin of a few leaves in the middle; some minor marginal dampstains; minor marginal handsoiling to titlegenerally a nice clean, crisp copy. § Hain-Copinger 6202; GW 8381; BMC V, 438; Goff D-222

Sacrobosco Johannes de; Regiomontanus; Georgius Peurbachius
SPHAERA MUNDI. Regiomontanus, DISPUTATIONES CONTRA CREMONENSIA DELIRAMENTA. Georgius Peurbachius, THEORICAE NOVE PLANETARUM
|
Venice: [Bonetus Locatellus for] Octavianus Scotus, 4 October 1490. A very early issuance of these pre-Copernican texts of astronomy. Printed in Roman type, 41 lines without headlines. With 4-line and 12-line white-on-black woodcut initials, a full-page allegorical woodcut of Astonomia seated on a throne and flanked by Urania and Ptolemy, seven wood cut diagrams printed in 2 or 3 colors, and numerous other woodcut diagrams throughout including one of an armillary sphere, and the woodcut printerOs mark printed in red 4to (195x 135mm), bound in full antique vellum. 48 leaves, unfoliated. A very fine copy, complete and uncommonly fresh; a few leaves shaved close by the binder affecting a few letters at the outside margin.. rare. An early printing of this great scientific text and one of the two earliest astronomical books ever issued. Sacrobosco's SPHAERA MUNDI is probably the most popular astronomical text ever written. Originally printed at Ferrara in 1472, it was only the second astronomical book ever printed and among the earliest scientific text in any field. Although it did not advance astronomical knowledge beyond that attained by the Arabs in their commentaries on Ptolemy, it gained a great reputation; twenty-four editions appeared before 1500, and at least forty between 1500 and 1647, when the last edition was printed at Leiden. Little is known of Sacrobosco himself. It is believed he was of English origin, but unquestionably lived in the first half of the thirteenth century as professor of astronomy at Paris and it is known that he died in that city in 1256. He owed his reputation as an astronomer chiefly to this astronomical textbook "De Sphaera Mundi," which was used at universities all throughout Europe for several centuries. The exact place and time of his birth is unknown. As the Latinized name Sacrobosco seems to be a translation of the English name Holywood or Holybush, many believe that Holywood (now Halifax), in Yorkshire, was his birthplace. Others give it as Holywood near Dublin; others again claim that he came from Scotland. Sacrobosco studied first at Oxford, but then went to France, where, as a contemporary of St. Thomas Aquinas, he proved himself an efficient teacher of mathematics and astronomy. At that time many were deterred from undertaking the study of astronomy by such ponderous (and at that time largely obscure) works as those of Ptolemy, Alfraganus, and Albategnius, so Sacrobosco wisely resolved to write a compendium of spherical astronomy, which universities could use as a textbook. How well-timed and well received his book was is shown by the numerous editions published before the middle of the seventeenth century when the new Copernican theory was generally adopted. Georg Peurbach lived from 1423-1461 and was the teacher of Regiomontanus (1436-1476), another of the great early Renaissance scientists of astronomy. The work here included by Regiomontanus has to do with corrections rendered to planetary tables and it is accompanied not only by SacroboscoOs text but by Peurbach"s NOVAE THEORICAE PLANETARUM. OPeurbach and Regiomontanus were the outstanding astronomers of their time and their early deaths were "a serious loss to the progress of astronomy... [which] left the technical development of mathematical astronomy deprived of substantial improvement until the generation of Tycho Brahe" (ibid). Around 1454 Peurbach composed his textbook of astronomy, NOVAE THEORICAE PLANETARUM (published in N!rnberg,1473), which became the standard astronomical text for over a century and a half, as well as writing, with Regiomontanus, the Epitome of Ptolemy (published in 1496), the clearest and most accurate exposition of Ptolemaic astronomy in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Following Arab astronomers, Peurbach "added trepidation to Ptolemy"s six motions of the celestial spheres and substituted solid crystal spheres for the hypothetical circles employed in Ptolemy"s Almagest" (Watson citing Stillwell).

Foresti, Jacobus Philippus de Bergamo
[Supplementum chronicarum.]
|
Venice: Bernardinus Rizus, Novariensis 15 May, 1490. Folio, 11.6 x 8.2 inches. Second illustrated edition. [1]6, [11]6, a-z8, [et]8, [con]8, [orum]8, A-F8, G6. 272 of 274 leaves. (Lacking the first and last blanks, [1]1 and G6.) This illustrated incunabula contains the following woodcut images: a large (6.5 inch square) woodcut of the creation of Eve; three half-paged woodcuts: 1) Adam and Eve tasting the fruit and then banished from the garden; 2) Cain and Abel; and 3) the building of the Tower of Babel. A three-part smaller woodcut shows the destruction of Sodom and Gomorra. The other sixty-three woodcuts found in the text are of city views, with some repeats. Most of the woodcuts of cities are small, and some are repeated, but Venice and Rome are quite large. The woodcut of Rome may be the earliest printed view of the city ever made, see Essling I, p. 303. The printer also uses some 12-line white-on-black floriated woodcut initials. The woodcut device on the colophon leaf is Kristeller 268. This copy is bound in late-sixteenth century Italian brown sheepskin over paper boards. It is ruled in blind with a large X-shape on both boards. The endpapers are from the time of the rebinding. A seventeenth century news article about Madrid has been pasted inside the back board. The condition is quite good in this copy, which contains notes throughout..

Medieval Music leaf on vellum
"Gloria Patri et filio et spiritui sancto..."
|
Italy: c1490. Double leaf. 360 x 485mm. The leaf is a palimpsest with traces of the original text of a larger leaf written crossways to ours. The verso of the leaves are blank and the leaf is probably a binding rescue. There are two holes in the text (one in each leaf) which are patched (some text lost); there is dampstaining at the outer edges and some worming in the inner margin. 4 line music staff in red with text in Gothic hand with 8 colored initials in alternating red and blue. The manuscript was probably added to the leaf after it was used in a binding. An old note claims it was from the collection of "John H. Carter."

The Legacy of Leonardo
|
Skira. New PLEASE NOTE that we do not offer expedited shipping. Orders placed with the priority shipping option will automatically be canceled. The ever increasing art historical attention being paid to the School of Leonardo lies at the root of this volume published almost sixty years after Suida's classic treatment of the subject. This is the first time since then that Lombard art of Leonardesque inspiration has been the object of a systematic analysis embracing a period of around half a century starting from 1490. On the 22nd of September of that year, in fact, Leonardo recorded the presence of Marco d'Oggiono in his workshop at Milan: this, for us, is the first clue to the existence of a school associated with the Florentine master and the point of departure for the adventure of the Leonardesques. The essays opening the volume provide an overview dealing with the environment, the organisation and the working practices of Leonardo's atelier and the problems faced by historians, whilst each artist is discussed in a critical profile that, taking into account the most recent academic research, acts a brief up-to-date monograph.

BIBERMÜHLE COLLECTION.
Horae B.M.V. 158 Stundenbuchdrucke der Sammlung Bibermühle 1490-1550. Graphik, Illumination und Einbandkunst in Frankreich um 1500.
|
Antiquariat Bibermühle AG, Ramsen. 2003. 3 Vols., oblong folio, 1348pp., over 1000 coloured illustrs., orig. decorated cloth, slip-case. The Bibermühle collection consists of 150 Books of Hours printed between 1490 and 1550 in France, forming, to the best of our knowledge, the most important collection of this type of book in private hands assembled within the last 300 years. It comprises 28 incunables, 112 vellum copies and 52 illuminated ones; many of them still being in their first or early bindings. Provenances are as wide-ranging as Anne de Beaujeu, Ruler of France on one side and the Duke of Bourbon-Parma on the other, with nearly every important collection of the 19th and 20th centuries fairly represented. The new catalogue Horae B.M.V. gives a comprehensive survey of this collection and the once so popular printed Books of ours in general, focusing on illumination, illumination and bindings. Introductory essays on printers, artists and publishers throw light upon the evolution of pictures, border-cycles and decorations. For the first time the numerous illustrations and border cycles have been classified and ascribed to different Parisian artists and workshops. Each entry with detailed bibliographical information, collation, full colophons etc. About 1000 coloured illustrations, most of them in original size, and full indices and references complete the thorough descriptions to form the most comprehensive study of these popular but as yet poorly documented books.

English Text: This is the sixth and final part of the Survey of Manuscripts Illuminated in the British Isles. The author has made a perceptive selection of the rich and varied illuminated books of the 15th century, many previously unstudied, and has catalogued these in the greatest detail. She includes many surviving manuscripts of the period which contain the finest works of art, and also shows some of the illustrations to the great examples of Middle English literature such as Chaucer, Lydgate and Gower which will be of particular interest to English scholars. Among the masterpieces of the period are liturgical works: the Carmelite, Abingdon and Sherbone Missals, the Bedford Hours and the Lovell Lectionary. Besides these, medical, botanical and topographical books are represented as well as works of chivalry and chronicles of the Kings of England. Dr Scott describes workshop practice and the way in which different craftsmen contributed to the same book. She traces the development from monastic to commercial shop practice (especially in London) in the period preceding the advent of printing. These manuscripts provide insights into the 15th-century view of court, church, ordinary ways of life and working methods, making this final volume in the Survey of English manuscripts a book of exceptional interest and value for historians of art and society.

EXIMENIS, Francisco
Libro de los Santos Angeles [en Español].
|
Burgos, Fadrique de Basilea, 15 de Octubre de 1490. En folio (283 x 204)mm. Tipografía gótica. 42 líneas y cabecera. Impreso a dos columnas. 147 hojas (de 148, falto de la última blanca sólo). Encuadernación del siglo diecinueve en pergamino a la romana, rueda dorada en los planos. Primera edición en español de este rarísimo inclunable impreso en Burgos. La primera edición apareció en francés impresa en Colonia en 1478, gozando fama de ser el primer libro impreso en aquella ciudad. La presente traducción al español parece ser obra de Miguel de Cuenca y Gonzalo Ocaña. Friedrich Biel se trasladó a España para establecer su imprenta en Burgos y fue conocido en nuestro país como Fadrique de Basilea. El mismo fue el encargado de introducir la imprenta en Burgos publicando en 1485 una edición de la Gramática de Gutiérrez. Durante su primer período de actividad Fadrique imprimió carca de setenta libros. Todas sus impresiones son muy raras en el mercado. Francisco Eximenis o Eiximenis fue un autor nacido en Cataluña; en el catálogo de la Biblioteca de La Vallière se dice que que el autor escribió este libro en 1387 a instancia de Don Pedro Dartes, caballero de la Corte del rey de Aragón. Se ignora si el original se escribió en latín o en la lengua madre del autor. Como hemos visto, a pesar de ser el autor catalán, se imprimió primero la obra en francés y luego español, no se imprimió en catalán hasta varios años más tarde, en 1494. Muy buen ejemplar. Pequeña restauración en a8, alguna mancha ocasional, por lo demás perfecto. Procedencia: 1. Antonio Cánovas del Castillo, ex-libris; 2. Hispanic Society of America, ex-libris, vendido como duplicado.

PTOLEMY, Claudius
[Turkey] Prima Asiae Tabula
|
[Rome: Petrus de Turre, 4 November 1490]. Engraved map. Good condition apart from some marginal repairs. 16 1/8 x 22 inches. An important early map of Turkey, from an edition of Ptolemy's 'Cosmographia' containing some of the finest Ptolomaeic plates ever produced This important map is from the 1490 Rome edition of Ptolemy's Cosmographia:. It shows the whole of Turkey, the Black Sea above, the Mediterranean below, with part of Cyprus in outline. All the maps are printed from the same plates as the Rome edition of 1478. 'The copper plates engraved at Rome ... [were] much superior in clarity and craftsmanship to those of the 1477 Bologna edition ... Many consider the Rome plates to be the finest Ptolemaic plates produced until Gerard Mercator engraved his classical world atlas in 1578' (Shirley p.2). Skelton echoes Shirley's sentiments: 'The superior craftsmanship of the engraved maps in the Rome edition, by comparison with those of the [1477] Bologna edition, is conspicuous and arresting. The cleanliness and precision with which the geographical details are drawn; the skill with which the elements of the map are arranged according to their significance, and the sensitive use of the burin in working the plates - these qualities ... seem to point to the hand of and experienced master, perhaps from North Italy' (Claudius Ptolomaeus Cosmographia Rome 1478, Amsterdam, 1966, p.VIII). A number of authorities have suggested an engraver from either Venice or Ferrara. In any event, the prints from these fine copper plates rank as some of the earliest successful intaglio engravings, quite apart from their undeniable cartographic importance. Another aspect of these maps which stands out is the fine roman letters used for the place names on the plates: in an apparently unique experiment, these letters were not engraved with a burin but punched into the printing plate using metal stamps or dies. According to Skelton the 1490 edition of Ptolemy, from which this map came, was issued 'in response to the geographical curiosity aroused by the Portuguese entry into the Indian Ocean... [The printer, Petrus de Turre (Pietro de la Torre) used the plates of the 1478 edition, which still showed little wear and produced excellent impressions' (op.cit. p.X). Cf.

[Colophon on T9v:] Venice: Giovanni Battista Sessa, ‘1490’ [1493-1498]. - 8vo. 176 x 120 mm. ff. [8], 280 [ie. 281], [1]. printed in in red & black throughout. roman type, title in gothic. 34 lines. 2 columns. Sessa’s cat and mouse device (Kristeller 289) printed in red on title, with a different device (Kristeller 288) at the end, also printed in red. woodcut initials & red-printed Lombards. musical notes on red printed staves. full-page woodcut of the Crucifixion on q4v. contemporary Venetian dark brown calf over thin wooden bds, blind-stamped side panels enclosing 2 gilt fleurons & gilt roundel with the Holy Monogram, spine compartments filled with blind diagonal intersecting triple fillets, two ornamental brass clasps with catches, edges gilt & gauffered (head & foot of spine worn away, a few minor abrasions elsewhere, small piece cut out & replaced from lower blank margin of title not affecting any printing, old stamp deleted from lower margin of penultimate leaf verso - marginal repair on recto, neat repairs to bottom margins of a few leaves, overall an excellent tall and fresh copy). in modern quarter calf felt-lined drop-back box. An elegantly produced small format Roman missal in its original Venetian binding: the gilt roundel with the Holy Monogram appears to be identical with that used on another liturgical book of the same period illustrated by De Marinis (No. 2199; repro. facing II, p. 120). For a discussion of the beautiful full-page woodcut of the Crucifixion, see Rivoli, Missels, p. 61, where a German influence is noted (cfSander). The colophon date of 1490 is incorrect, as Alexander VI became Pope in 1492 and his bull on the feast of Saint Augustine belongs to the following year. The type used (83 R) is here in its earliest state, which does not appear to have persisted after 1498. This sets the actual date of printing between 1493 and 1498. According to Kristeller the present work marks the earliest appearance of the famous Sessa cat and mouse device. Incunable missals are often defective and in poor condition owing to extensive use. This is a fine complete example in its first binding. The missal itself is rare, with Goff citing only the Huntington copy; the BM copy lacks a total of 28 leaves, including the title and the cut of the Crucifixion. BMC V 480-81. Duggan 113. Goff M-703.

MUSI, Agostino De', Agostino De Musis, called Agostino Ve...
Vulcan giving Cupid's arrows to Venus; after Raphael. 1530. Engraving 355mm x 255mm ( image ). Mounted, framed and glazed.
|
Almost certainly a later sixteenth century impression, small repair at the lower end. Musi was an eminent engraver born in Venice about 1490, he was a pupil of Campagnola, and afterwards formed his style on a study of Albrecht Dürer. He was one of the printmakers who, together with Marcantonio Raimondi and Marco Dente da Ravenna, was chiefly employed in engraving the designs of Raphael and his studio. The prints of Musi are quite uncommon, particularly fine impressions. He sometimes marked them with a tablet similar to that used by Marc Antonio, but more frequently with the initials A. V. with the date. The tablet is quite clear in this impression in the lower left corner. For more details of Musi see Bryan's Dictionary of Painters and Engravers. See also Bartsch, vol. XIV, 1920. And Oberhuber, Konrad. The Works of Marcantonio Raimondi and his School. The illustrated Bartsch, 27. 1978.

ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT LEAVES ON VELLUM.
Six illuminated leaves from the calendar of a Book of Hours, with miniatures on recto and verso of each leaf, showing the labors of the months and the appropriate zodiacal signs.
|
Central France (Bourges or Tours?): c. 1490. Each miniature c. 40 x 80 mm, on leaves 215 x 135 mm, 33 lines of text in a neat lettre batarde in gold, blue, and red. Each mounted, in fine condition. The complete occupational calendar from what must have been a glorious French Book of Hours. Each leaf has a delightful miniature at the head, as well as an illuminated panel border to the side of the text, illuminated initials and lettering &c. "Artists apparently had complete freedom in how they depicted the occupations and signs of the zodiac [in calendars]. In routine Books of Hours the treatment of these subjects is conventional or perfunctory; but in the more costly examples artists had scope for landscape painting and naturalistic observation." Harthan, Books of Hours, pp.24-26. At the foot of the first leaf is a black ink stamp of ownership (possibly ducal?) with the rather sombre motto (as yet unidentified) "Sic Undique Luctus" (Thus misery is all around).

Roman letter, 62 lines and headline per page, initial spaces with guide letters, spaces for Greek words. Initials and rubrication: red and blue decorated initials on a1 and m1; other initials alternating in red and blue, paragraph marks in red or blue. Greek words not supplied. Leaf size and condition: 320 x 320 x 212mm. [dagger]1r dustsoiled; light stains in the text on C4 and E3 and light marginal waterstains on a few other leaves, small hole in last 2 leaves (contents) affecting one or two letters. A fine fresh copy. Binding: Eighteenth-century British panelled calf, red sprinkled edges. Joints cracked, one upper cord broken, other cords holding but weak, head and tail of spine chipped, corners worn. Provenance and annotation: The Benedictine monasterry of Santa Giustina in Padua with inscription on a2, 'Est monasterii sancte Iustine signatus numero 20026', Three line verse in Italian on [dagger]1r in a contemporary hand; 11 words of contemporary annotation in the text and occasional underlining, pointing fists and grotesque faces in the margins. Engraved armorial bookplate of John Campbell of Shawfield, near Glasgow, probably the son of Daniel Campbell, 1672--1735, the politician who provoked the 'Shawfield riots'; Signet Library, Edinburgh with gilt stamp on boards and shelf-label on pastedown (Sotheby's 11th--12th April 1960, lot 1415, £38, Francis Edwards).

Third edition of the Opera containing the editio princeps of Questiones naturales. (First 1475; there were 5 other fifteenth-century editions, including one in French and one in Spanish). § The first edition of Seneca's works to contain his 'Natural questions' his only extant scientific work. These deal with meteorology in the modern sense, rivers, earthaquakes, meteors and comets, all topics that belonged to meteorology in its ancient sense. According to Sarton, 'Seneca was the first to express a belief in the progress of knowledge (not the progress of humanity); this idea of progress is unique in ancient literature'. The Questiones naturales is the most substantial extant ancient work after Aristotle and so the main source for the history of Greek meteorolgy after Aristotle since it relies heavily on Greek sources. Sarton draws particulary attention to Seneca's account of the earthquake in Campania on 5 February 63 which led him to discuss earthquates and volcanic phenomena. For details of Ficino's contributions and references, see Alan Coates and others, A catalogue of books printed in the fifteenth century now in the Bodleian Library (2005), S-267. A very good and attractive copy from the famous library of Santa Giustina in Padua, one of the most important libraries in Italy in the middle ages. Literature: Sarton I, pp. 247--8; L. D. Reynolds, ed. Texts and Transmission (1983), pp. 376--8.

Inscription on a1r 'Ad cenobium sancte elisabeth in suburbio brixine spectat presens liber.' (To the monastery of St. Elizabeth in the vicinity of Brixen belongs the present book.). Walter Pagel (1896--1983); B. E. J. Pagel (1930--2007). References: Goff T258; Poynter 574; Bod-inc T-140; BMC V 358; BSB-Ink T-236. Later edition, but one of the most complete, containing 71 treatises. ISTC lists 8 incunable editions. The first edition of 1472 comprises 12 treatieses. This recension, edited by Pizamanus, was reprinted at Venice by Bonetus Locatellus for Octavianus Scotus in 1498 with two treatises added. § This is one of the most complete fifteenth century editions of Thomas Aquinas, the 'Angelic doctor,' and a superb copy from the library of a womens' religious house. The dominant figure in medieval scolasticism, Aquinas' writings on the Aristotelian corpus defined the teaching of science up to the so called 'scientific revolution' of the seventeenth century. In theology, Aquinas taught that faith was not incompatible with reason. This collection begins with Pizamanus' life of Aquinas followed by 72 numbered 'Opuscula', including many scientific treatises, roughly grouped around Opuscula 26--55. Although 72 treatises are listed, the editor, Pizimanus, notes that one could not be found, no. 48 on Aristotle's logic, and so although numbered it is not printed. Opusculum 35 'De motu cordis' is discussed by Pagel for its bearing on Harvey's ideas. Pagel notes that this treatise has sometimes been described as a work on the motion of the blood but that this is a misunderstanding and the title really implies the motion of the heart. Aquinas argues that although the motion of the heart is made up of two movements -- pushing and pulling, systole and diastole -- it always returns to the same point and so although not truly a circular motion, it is like a circular motion, and comes close to a simple circular motion like that of the heavens. Pagel concludes that circular symbolism considered with relation to the motion of the heart can be traced back to this treatise of Aquinas; and circular symbolism considered with relation to the circular motion of the blood to Giodano Bruno's De rerum principiis. Binding and provenance. The inscription is that of the Franciscan house of women at Bressanone, now part of Italy but formerly in Germany and called Brixen (John R. H. Moorman, Medieval Franciscan Houses (1983) p. 560. The binding and the fine illuminated initial at the start of the text are consistent with a South German provenance. Literature: Pagel, William Harvey's Biological Ideas (1967) pp. 90--93 and 124; Vincent R. Larkin, 'St Thomas Aquinas on the movement of the heart', Journal of the History of Medicine 15 (1960) 22--30.

The Legacy of Leonardo
|
Skira. New The ever increasing art historical attention being paid to the School of Leonardo lies at the root of this volume published almost sixty years after Suida's classic treatment of the subject. This is the first time since then that Lombard art of Leonardesque inspiration has been the object of a systematic analysis embracing a period of around half a century starting from 1490. On the 22nd of September of that year, in fact, Leonardo recorded the presence of Marco d'Oggiono in his workshop at Milan: this, for us, is the first clue to the existence of a school associated with the Florentine master and the point of departure for the adventure of the Leonardesques. The essays opening the volume provide an overview dealing with the environment, the organisation and the working practices of Leonardo's atelier and the problems faced by historians, whilst each artist is discussed in a critical profile that, taking into account the most recent academic research, acts a brief up-to-date monograph. Also available from Abbeville PressMichelangelo: the PietàLorenzo LottoThe Frescoes in the Oratorio Suardi at TrescorePieter Bruegel the Elder at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna ISBN10: 888118463X.

Rebound in early limp vellum , some spotting, some minor restorations of wormholes (mostly marginal: a1, a2, & b5 have minimal losses), trimmed into running title and foliation marks on a few leaves. Johannes de Fonte was a Franciscan of Montpellier who is most famous for his “Conclusiones” on the Sentences. This popular Florilegium, known as Auctoritates Aristotelis was composed around the end of the thirteenth century by Johannes de Fonte [who was identified by Jacqueline Hamesse, in her ‘Les auctoritates Aristotlelis’ Louvain & Paris, 1974] “Yet another way that scholars encountered the S(ecretis) [S(ecretorum) was through a florilegium or compendium (i.e. a collection of brief extracts) of Aristotle’s books. These provided an easy way to access Aristotle’s philosophy as well as to dress up a written composition or a sermon with quotations from his work. Several compendia containing the SS were already available in the thirteenth and early fourteenth century, the most popular and well known of which was the Parvi flores. This is a large collection of sententiae of which was the Parvi flores. This is a large collection of sententiae taken from school texts that was put together in its current form in the years on either side of 1300 by a Franciscan, Johannes de Fonte, during his tenure as lector in theology in his order’s convent in Montpellier. John states in his prologue that his work is intended to provide assistance “as much for preaching to the people as study of the arts.” Judging by the wide circulation enjoyed by his work, his wish was nore than fulfilled.” [Steven J.

Florentinus, Antoninus:
Secunda pars summe domini Antonini. De vitiis deque eorundem annexis variisque insertis.
|
Strassburg: Johann (Reinhard) Grüninger, 17 Aug. 1490.. Folio, ff. [272]. Printed in blackletter in two columns, 60 lines per page. Wormholes in text area (about a dozen in first and last 20 leaves, reducing to only two that span the text-block), none larger than a character with minimal effect on legibility. Some underlining, early notes, and simple rubrication, all in red. Title a bit dusty, with small area of worming in blank margin, a later ownership inscription and a red blotch (from the rubrication ink) above title. Contemporary pigskin-covered wooden boards, sides partly bevelled, brass clasps, old paper label to spine, scratched and wormed, head of spine worn. Bookplate of the Library of Dominican Fathers to upper pastedown. Saint Antoninus Florentinus (1389-1459), birth-name Antonio Pierozzi, entered the Dominican order in 1405 and became Archbishop of Florence in 1446. He was canonised by Pope Adrian VI. Among his writings are a history of the world and several manuals for confessors and penitents; these latter are mostly abridgements and selections from his major work, his 'Summa Theologica' (sometimes called the 'Summa Moralis'), which was first published in 1477 and reprinted more than a dozen times within 50 years. Antoninus based much of his 'Summa', especially the first part, on the more famous 'Summa' of Aquinas, but his most significant contributions came when he narrowed the focus to moral theology, devoting parts two and four to vices and virtues in particular. The four parts were generally each issued separately: in this edition, they appeared in separate months from July and December 1490. This is the second part, dealing specifically with vices. GW 2191.

Scoto, Venezia 1490 - In Quarto (mm. 225x165); 112 carte non numerate; fascicolazione a-o8. Testo su 42 linee, carattere romano. Con iniziali decorate silografiche di varie dimensioni. Legatura coeva veneziana in mezza pelle decorata a secco e assi scoperte in cipresso, con tracce di fermagli; dorso a tre nervi.Sulla vita di Diogene Laerzio si hanno scarse informazioni. Autore del III secolo d. C., la fama che lo riveste è fondamentalmente legata alla sua opera in dieci libri Raccolta delle vite e delle dottrine dei filosofi. In essa esamina 84 figure di pensatori, dai Sette sapienti ad Epicuro, disponendo le informazioni per scuole filosofiche e rispettando le succesioni degli scolarchi fissate dalla tradizione. Senza quest'opera buona parte della nostra conoscenza della filosofia antica sarebbe andata perduta.Genuino esemplare arricchito da bellissime iniziali silografiche decorate e da note antiche manoscritte. Scritta illeggibile datata 1712 al piatto superiore; dorso a tre nervi con restauro a cuffia e piede; perduti i legacci al piatto superiore, superstiti i fermagli metallici all'inferiore. Antiche note manoscritte al frontespizio ed alle sguardie, sguardia finale mancante della metà sup. Diffuse fioriture e alcune tracce di umidità ai margini delle carte; segni di inchiostro alla carta aiii. Piccolissimo lavoro di tarlo nella seconda parte del libro che cessa d'essere trascurabile all'ultima carta. Sguardia finale è stata in parte tagliata ed asportata per metà. Goff D-222 p.213; IGI 3461; BMC V 438. Due sole copie in ICCU.

The latter's face is sensitive thoughtful.

PIETRO D’ABANO.
Tractatus de Venenis.
|
[Colophon:] Rome: [no printer,] 1490. - 4to, 18 unnumbered leaves. Gothic letter, 33 lines. Modern dark unlettered sheep, fine copy. Eighth printing, but the fifth separate edition. The first printed book on toxicology, treating of poisons and their antidotes. "The topics considered in its six main chapters are: the classification of poisons, how they act upon the body, how to guard against them, the effects and cures of a long list of particular poisons, and finally the problem of a panacea or bezoar against all poisons" (Thorndike). The poisons considered are wide ranging, and include arsenic and hemlock, narcotics, and animal poisons. The author makes reference to the loadstone as a poison if taken internally, and to two kinds of magnet (see Mottelay, p. 501, referring to this edition). Pietro d’Abano was born near Padua in 1250, and wrote De venenis in about 1316. First printed with his Conciliator at Mantua in 1472, the same year as Bagellardo’s book on paediatrics, it was one of the first books on a specific medical speciality to be printed. Klebs 774.8. BMC IV, 91. For a full account of this book, and of Pietro d’Abano’s life and other works, see Thorndike, II, pp. 874–947, and for the more bizarre aspects of his life (and death), see the Biographie Générale.
