Libro intitulado nobiliario.       Seville, Pedro Brun and Juan Gentil; 30 June 1492. FIRST EDITION folio, 96 unnumbered ll, a6 b-h8 i10 k-m8. Gothic letter in two sizes, 48 lines plus headline to a full page, double column, ornate white on black woodcut initials; two opening 17-line paragraphs in red, final ll. with 47 woodcut shields, 3 herald's tunics and 15 pennants. Some ll. lightly browned, some probably washed long since; a very good, large copy in 19th C crushed crimson morocco, covers triple gilt ruled, spine with richly gilt compartments, inner dentelles gilt, a.e.g., two 20th C bookplates on pastedown. First and only early edition of the first book on heraldry printed in Spain in the only known production of this Seville press and one of a tiny number of Spanish secular vernacular incunables that have survived. About 850 Spanish incunable editions of all sorts are known, of which more than 70% consist of religious/philosophical/classical/humanistic/grammatical texts - the staples of university and church. By contrast, only 25 historical editions of the period are recorded in aggregate, in all 3 printed languages of the Peninsula - Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese - less than 3% of the total (see BMC X, G.D. Painter's fascinating 'General Introduction'). The present work in fact is not just heraldic, but also deals extensively with the rights, duties and attributes of the princes and nobility of Spain, illustrated with biographical exemplars depicting their chivalry, greatness and other noble virtues, generally categorised under 'history.' Beginning with the dedication to Fernando "el Cat�lico", the first book contains a history of the world from Adam, discussing the different ages of the world, mentioning the fall of Babylon, the destruction of Jerusalem, and the coming of Christ. Drawing on sources such as St Jerome and Eusebius, matters geographical and anthropological are discussed - the division and population of the world, focussing on Asia, Libya, Armenia, Persia, Africa, Egypt, and Judea. The discovery of arts and sciences, decrees on nobility, and its nature - theologically, morally and naturally, politics, orders of precedence in heredity, are also discussed. Chapters LXXV-C then enumerate in meticulous detail the duties, prerogatives, and privileges of the different offices and dignities, covering viscounts, barons, generals, judges, legal authorities, marshalls, cavalry, maestros, marquisses, Roman officials, mentioning dress, residences, accoutrements etc. In the second book come discussions of lineage in the Classics, drawn i.a from Ovid, Livy and religious commentators such as Augustine. The third book focusses on heraldry proper. Beginning with a discussion of insignia and coats of arms that are borne on banners and shields, Mexia considers the right to bear arms, and the practice of adopting the arms of important figures as a sign of subjection. Sharing arms, and the technicalities of doing so are touched upon - a precursor of copyright - and the inheritance of arms by both legitimate and illegitimate children is discussed. The pictorial display and deeper significance of arms, standards, blazons, signals and pennants are dealt with; covering their invention and use; how animals should be depicted, colours, metals, iconography and their significance, and discussing which physical materials are most suitable for the adornment of the armigerous classes, accompanied by numerous small woodcut crests. Throughout the work, Mex�a discusses and attacks the conclusions of B�rtolo de Sassoferrato, who had composed the heraldic work "Tractatus de Insignis et Armis" in 1335.Fernando Mexia was a noted poet from Jaen in Andalucia, and this present work is part of the long 15th C tradition of the study of the nobility and cavalry, developing themes otherwise addressed in works by Alfonso of Cartagena and Diego de Valera.

Very rare early printing of this piece of anti-French propaganda with which King Maximilian (Emperor 1493-1519) reacted to a double affront by Charles VIII of France who had stolen his wife and snubbed his daughter. Maximilian, whose first wife had died in 1482, had married Anne of Brittany by proxy in 1491. He had also earlier betrothed his three-year-old daughter Margaret to the then-dauphin Charles as part of the Treaty of Arras, hoping to secure Habsburg control over France, with which the empire had been continually at odds. Margaret grew up at the court of Paris alongside her fiance who was also still a minor. When Charles came of age, however, he invaded Brittany and put pressure on Anne to back out of her unconsummated marriage to Maximilian and marry him instead. Charles cited a clause from the Treaty of Verger which stipulated that any marriage by the Duchess of Burgundy would have to be vetted by the French king. Anne, besieged in Rennes with no help from the Habsburgs who were busy fighting in Hungary, was forced to give in and accept the hand of Charles. In a single moment, Maximilian saw his wife taken and his daughter jilted by his main European rival. The fallout from the event initially favored Charles. Pope Innocent VIII validated the marriage of Charles and Anne despite vociferous protests from Maximilian, who, aside from his own betrothal to Anne and his daughter!s engagement to Charles, cited coercion as an argument against the union. The present text, printed in several editions in Latin and German, is part of this campaign. However, Pastor!s account indicates that the pope favored discretion in this matter: !Charles VIII ! now required a Papal dispensation to set [Anne] free from her betrothal; and other dispensations were needed, as Charles was himself betrothed to Margaret of Burgundy, and was also related to Anna. These dispensations were granted, but privately, and disavowed by Innocent and the Ambassadors.! (Pastor V, p. 286) In time, however, Charles!s power crumbled due to his political isolation in Europe. He lost Artois and Burgundy to the Habsburgs, Cerdagne and Roussillon to Spain, and was forced to pay off England to stop it from invading. Maximilian meanwhile married the daughter of the Duke of Milan, strengthening his influence in the Franco-Italian wars. His further matchmaking efforts, especially on behalf of his grandchildren, all proved successful and expanded the Habsburg territory, landing him the epitaph Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube: !While others wage war, you, fortunate Austria, marry.!There are three printings of the current text in Latin and four of an edition in Latin and German; none bear a date, but would have to have been printed not before 1492.

RARE. Illustrated with diagrams throughout the text. Folio, contemporary wooden boards with remnants of clasps and chains remaining, at some time rebacked in correct period style with brown calf. 123 ff. A handsome and proper copy, with early marginal notation in scholarly hand, some evidence of worming, light throughout most of the book but somewhat heavy towards the beginning and end.. VERY RARE INCUNABLE EDITION OF AQUINASO COMMENTARY ON ARISTOTLEOS PHYSICS, an attempt to give a more technical form to the propositions and their demonstrations. The work includes early and important examples of scientific illustration, such as one in Book VI were we have a diagram showing that when bodies move, the time and the magnitude (that is, the space described), are divided similarly ; with many like propositions. In Book VIII there is demonstration that a finite mover (movens) cannot move anything in an infinite time.' This is illustrated by a diagram in which two hands are represented as engaged in moving a whole sphere, and one hand in moving a hemisphere. This mode of representing force, in diagrams illustrative of mechanical reasonings, by human hands pushing, pulling, and the like, is still employed in text books and this is most probably the first example of such a mode of representation.       [Bookseller: Buddenbrooks, Inc.]  6.   Check availability:     Biblio   Link/Print   ANTONIUS de BITONTO.

His work was deeply influential and his services were retained by the kings of France and Spain, as well as by several Italian princes. As one would expect, there was a large market for his works. In addition to those published by Alciati there are several unauthorized publications based on lecture notes compiled by his students. First published in Cologne in 1530, Iudiciarii Processus Compendium, a treatise on procedure in civil and canon law, appears to fall into this latter category. Some sources say it is not based on Alciati's work and is the work of an anonymous author. It was neveretheless a popular work that went through several editions and issues over the next 30 years.

His work was deeply influential and his services were retained by the kings of France and Spain, as well as by several Italian princes. Alciati's commentaries and notes are based on lectures delivered during his years in Avignon (1518-1522). They were edited by his students and colleagues, such as Montegna.

Manuel de la reforme interieure. L'ouvrage de Zerbolt est un traite mystique de la voie vers la spiritualite. A partie d'une parabole du bon samaritain « l'homme descendait de Jerusalem a Jericho », Zerbolt articule l'ensemble de sa pensee. L'homme dechoit en quittant la cite de l'harmonie, sa voie est de revenir, par un cheminement interieur qui s'exercera par la reforme des trois puissances qui gouvernent l'esprit (la memoire, l'entendement et la volonte) a la cite spirituelle. Ce traite, un des ouvrages de la Devotio Moderna (mouvement de reforme de la spiritualite contre la scolastique), sera un breviaire pour les Freres de la vie commune de Deventer, ou Gerard Zerbolt avait une responsabilite que nous n'avons pu definir , c'est en ce lieu que Thomas a Kempis devint son eleve. Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471) a ecrit une biographie de Gerard von Zerbolt (1367-1398) , son ouvrage maitre, L'imitation de Jesus Christ, est sans doute le livre symbole de cette Devotio Moderna. §Le veritable titre de Liber meditationum attribue a Saint Bernard de Clairvaux (1090-1153) est Meditationes de interiori homine. Le traite est habituellement range dans ses oeuvres, mais avec la mention, auteur incertain. Il y a une parente evidente entre les traites de Zerbolt et de Bernard, ils portent tous les deux sur le meme sujet et ont ete ecrits par des moines pour servir la vie spirituelle et monastique , ils ont chacun en leur temps revolutionne la vie spirituelle et chretienne. §Les deux ouvrages tendaient naturellement a etre reunis, mais ils ont bien ete edites separement (ce que confirme les catalogues de bibliotheques puisqu'on les trouve toujours separes), meme si on trouve un an plus tot en 1492, les deux memes editions chez Amerbach. C'etait une politique et une entreprise editoriale que d'editer pareillement des ouvrages qui etaient voisins non seulement par leur sujet, mais aussi par leur format ou autre caracteristique. §Suit un manuscrit de 20 feuillets intitule : Abrege de toute la vie spirituelle, reduite a ce seul point de la volonte de Dieu [...], selon toute probabilite de L.

Die Chronecken der Sassen oder Sachsenchronik von Konrad Bothe ist das letzte gro�e Druckwerk aus der Offizin von Peter Sch�ffer, dem Mitarbeiter erster Stunde des Johannes Gutenberg. Es ist in Mittelniederdeutsch verfasst und umfangreich illustriert. Druckjahr ist 1492. Der Verfasser der 'Cronecken der Sassen. Konrad Botho (Conrad Bote) z�hlt zu den Chronisten, die am Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts ihre kompilatorischen Werke bearbeiteten und vorlegten. Seine historischen Nachrichten verfasste Botho in mittelniederdeutscher Sprache. Von Beruf war der Verfasser der 'Cronecken der Sassen' angeblich Goldschmied, der aus Wernigerode nach Braunschweig zugewandet sein soll. Man nimmt an, dass er hier in den Jahren 1489 bis 1491 seine Chronik schrieb. Bereits ein Jahr sp�ter, im Jahre 1492, erschien das Werk in der Offizin von Peter Sch�ffer in Mainz.

Saint Jerome (= Eusebius Hieronymus Jerome) (c. 347-420) (Formerly Saint Heirom) (Latin: Eusebius Sophronius Hieronymus) one of the great fathers of the early Christian Church. He was next to Origen, who wrote in Greek, the most learned student of the Bible among the Latin ecclesiastical writers, and, previous to modern times, the only Christian scholar able to study the Hebrew Bible in the original. His major work was his translation of the Scriptures from Hebrew and Greek into Latin, which became the Vulgate. He is recognized by the Catholic Church as a canonized saint and Doctor of the Church and his version of the Bible is still an important text in Catholicism. He is also recognized as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church, where he is known as St Jerome of Stridonium or Blessed Jerome. He is commemorated on 30 September with a memorial.       [Bookseller: Antikvariat Aldus]  25.   Check availability:     ILAB   Link/Print   Expositio himnorum cum notabili commento quod semper implicat historias cum optimis allegationibus sacre scripture illorum sanctorum vel sanctarum de quibus tales hymni decantantur, ex quibus possunt faciliter de eisdem sanctis colligi sermones [...].       - K�ln, Heinrich Quentell, 14.

Silber, 24 Nov. 1492 & 13 Feb. 1493. First edition of an important and massive work in the famous controversy regarding errors in Pliny, in which Leoniceno took the opposing side; this work was immediately saluted as the most authoritative discussion of Pliny!s Historia Naturalis available. Barbaro (1454!93), was one of the leaders of humanism. Crowned as a poet at the age of fourteen by Frederick III, he became a doctor at Padua in 1477, made a careful translation of Aristotle, held public office, taught Greek in public, and gathered about him the most illustrious scientists of the end of the century. In 1486, he was Venetian Ambassador to the Emperor Frederick, and in 1489 was Ambassador to Innocent VIII, who created him Cardinal and Patriarch of Aquileia. He died in 1493, leaving behind him a surprising amount of erudite work that showed a wide knowledge of Greek and of ancient literature. !In 1490 Leoniceno inaugurated a famous controversy on the errors of Pliny the elder. In this year he sent to Politian a critique of Ibn Sina, in which he noted in passing that Pliny seems to have confused the two herbs ivy and cistus because of the similarity of their Greek names; Politian commended Leoniceno!s castigation of Ibn Sina but politely challenged his criticism of Pliny. Leoniceno responded with a tract, On the errors of Pliny and others in medicine (1492), in which he not only defended his original point but charged Pliny with many other errors stemming from verbal confusion.!!D.S.B., VIII, p. 249. Leoniceno!s book aroused a great storm of protest, indignation, and malediction. In the present work, Barbaro responded indirectly. !He claimed to have freed the text from some five thousand errors of copyists and printers, but did not wish anyone to think that Pliny himself had erred and affirmed that his reputation could in no way be overthrown. Without mentioning Leonicenus by name, Barbarus expressly refuted ! and that rather sharply ! some of his criticisms of Pliny.!!Thorndike, IV, p. 601. A very good and fresh copy. ❧ Goff B-100.

Ayora, Gonsalvo, ed       Milan: A. Zaroto, 1492. The Earliest Published Work on Physical Fitness and the First Published Book on Wrestling pMonte, Pietro (c. 1460-ca. 1513). De dignoscendis hominibus. Translated from the Spanish by Gonsalvo Ayora. Folio. [228]ff. Milan: Antonio Zaroto, 17 December 1492. 278 x 191 mm. Blind-paneled calf over wooden boards c. 1492, rebacked preserving most of original spine. Title a bit soiled, a few wormholes at end affecting a few letters, occasional faint marginal dampstaining./p pFirst Edition of the earliest published work on physical fitness, and the earliest published book on the art of wrestling. Monte, a Spanish master of arms who lived and studied in northern Italy, was renowned in the Renaissance for his expertise in all of the martial arts-he even taught Leonardo da Vinci how to play darts! During the 1480s and 1490s Monte wrote a number of treatises on military theory and the fighting arts, most of which appeared in the early 16th century. His De dignoscendis hominibus may be the only one of his works to have been published prior to 1501 (there appears to be some confusion between Monte and Pietro del Monte [d. 1457], who wrote works on theology and the law; see RLIN)./p pMonte's treatises on the fighting arts-many of which were long overlooked or considered lost-are in the process of being studied and translated by Dr. Sydney Anglo, author of The Martial Arts of the Renaissance (2000). Anglo's analysis of Monte's De dignoscendis hominibus is summarized below:/p pAnglo tells us Monte was a wrestling master of considerable ability and knowledge. His De dignoscendis hominibus, of 1492 is the first ever actual published text on the subject and contains much of his thoughts on the art. He considered wrestling skill to be the best foundation for personal combat and stated its "prime requisite" was a "balanced temperament". Monte's intense primary interest in wrestling is evident in his describing in detail series of grips, holds, take-downs, joint-locks, throws, escapes and counters of techniques. He also presents what is the first ever systematic survey of wrestling styles from other European countries including British, German, French, Greece, Sicily, and Portugal. He also describes his dislike for the ground fighting style of the Germans (which interestingly few German manuals show). Monte declares his belief that "wrestling must always be associated with the art of arms". Anglo calls Monte's manual a technical treatise on the martial art of wrestling for combat and self defence, not sport (Clements)./p pFrom a medical and scientific standpoint, Monte's treatise is of interest for its discussions of the four humors, the effects of climate on human temperament, how men and women should prepare themselves to conceive a child, etc. Monte's work was translated from Spanish to Latin by Gonsalvo Ayora; "this individual, equally eminent in letters and arms, filled the dissimilar posts of captain of the [Spanish] royal guard and historiographer of the crown" (internet reference).

Folio.. St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397; born probably 340, at Trier, Arles, or Lyons; died 4 April, 397. He was one of the most illustrious Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and fitly chosen, together with St. Augustine, St. John Chrysostom, and St. Athanasius, to uphold the venerable Chair of the Prince of the Apostles in the tribune of St. Peter's at Rome.#11;This volume of his collected works contains his complete letters with several additional important shorter treatises.#11;The largest part of this volume contains the important letters of St Ambrose but it is supplemented by various shorter works, including several important treatises on virginity.#11;"He wrote several works on virginity, or rather published a number of his discourses on that virtue, the most important of which is the treatise "On Virgins" addressed to his sister Marcellina, herself a virgin consecrated to the divine service. St. Jerome says (Ep. xxii) that he was the most eloquent and exhaustive of all the exponents of virginity, and his judgment expresses yet the opinion of the church." [CE]#11;Our volume contains:De Virginibus. Three books concerning Virgins, addressed to his sister Marcellina in the year 377, probably, like most of the treatises of St. Ambrose, revised from addresses, the first of which was delivered on the festival of St. Agnes, January 21. This would seem to have been perhaps the very earliest of the writings of St. Ambrose, judging from the opening chapter. The treatise is referred to by St. Jerome, St. Augustine, Cassian, and others.#11;2.. De Viduis. This shorter work, concerning Widows, was probably written not very long after the last mentioned treatise.#11;3. De Virginitate. A treatise on Virginity, the date of which cannot certainly be fixed, but the writing De Viduis is referred to in chapter 9.#11;4. De Institutione Virginis. A treatise on the training and discipline of a Virgin, addressed to Eusebius, either bishop or a noble of Bologna, after St. Ambrose had admitted his niece to the rank of Virgins, probably about a.d. 391 or 392.#11;5. Exhortatio Virginitatis. A commendation of Virginity preached on the occasion of the consecration of a church at Florence by St. Ambrose, a.d. 393 or 394.#11;The Letters of St. Ambrose:#11;1. To the Emperor Gratian, in reply to his request for a treatise on the Faith. Written a.d. 379, before August, as Gratian came to Milan in that month.#11;2. To Constantius, a bishop, on episcopal duties, and commending to him the care of the vacant see of Forum Cornelii, or Imola. Probably written about a.d. 379.#11;3, 4. To Cornelius, Bishop of Comum, the first a friendly letter, the second containing also an invitation to the consecration of a church by Bassianus, Bishop of Laus Pompeia, now Lodi Vecchio, near Milan. Written probably after a.d. 381.#11;5, 6. To Syagrius, Bishop of Verona. On a charge falsely brought against the Virgin Indicia. They may have been written a.d. 380.#11;xx7, 8. To Justus, perhaps Bishop of Lyons. On holy Scripture. If the conjecture that Justus was the Bishop of Lyons is correct, written about 380 or 381.#11;9!12. Letters concerning the Council of Aquileia, held a.d. 381, to the bishops of the provinces of Gaul, to the Emperor Gratian and his colleagues. Two men, Palladius and Secundianus, held Arian opinions, and the former appears to have asked Gratian to convoke a General Council, pleading that he was unjustly condemned. St. Ambrose pointed out to the Emperor that such a question as the orthodoxy of two persons could be settled by a local council in Italy; and as a result, by the EmperorOs mandate, a council of Italian bishops met at Aquileia, other bishops having also permission to attend. Palladius and Secundianus were condemned, and these letters have reference to the proceedings at the council. They were probably written by St. Ambrose in the name of the council, a.d. 381.#11;13, 14. Two letters addressed to Theodosius, the former relating the decisions of a council, probably held at Milan, on the Meletian schism at Antioch, and the latter further expressing the desire of the bishops for a council on this subject, and also on the opinions of Apollinaris. Written a.d. 381 or 382.#11;15. To the Bishops of Macedonia, in reply to their notification of the death of Acholius, Bishop of Thessalonica, who baptized Theodosius, and had met St. Ambrose at a council in Rome. Written a.d. 383.#11;16. To Anicius, on his election to succeed Acholius, whose labours and life are commended by St. Ambrose. Written a.d. 383.#11;17, 18. On the occasion of the attempt of Symmachus and the heathen senators to procure the restitution of the image and Altar of Victory in the Roman Senate-house, frustrated by St. Ambrose, a.d. 384.#11;19. To Vigilius, Bishop of Trent, subsequently martyred, written probably about a.d. 385.#11;20. To his sister, Marcellina, giving an account of the frustrated attempts of the Arian and imperial party to gain possession of a basilica at Milan, a.d. 385,#11;21. To the Emperor Valentinian II., declining the challenge to dispute with the Arian Auxentius before lay judges. a.d. 386.#11;22. To his sister Marcellina, giving an account of the finding of the bodies of SS. Gervasius and Protasius, and of the consequent miracles. Written a.d. 386.#11;23. To the bishops of the province of !milia, on the proper date for the observance of Easter, in 387. Written a.d. 386.#11;24. To Valentinian II., with an account of St. AmbroseOs second mission to Maximus on his behalf. Written probably a.d. 387.#11;25, 26. Inscribed the former to Studius, the second to Iren!us, but from internal evidence these appear to be the same person. It deals with the question, how far a judge being a Christian may lawfully sentence any one to death. Written probably about a.d. 388.#11;27!33. Addressed to Iren!us, on various questions. Written about a.d. 387.#11;34!36. To Orontianus, a cleric, on the soul and other questions. Written after 386.#11;37, 38. To Simplicianus, who became the successor of St. Ambrose in the see of Milan, setting forth that holiness is perfect freedom.#11;39. To Faustinus, on the occasion of the death of a sister. Written probably after a.d. 387.#11;40. To Theodosius. The Jewish synagogue at Callinicum in Mesopotamia having been destroyed by the Christians, and a meeting-house of the Valentinian heretics also burnt by the Catholics, Theodosius ordered that the bishop should rebuild the synagogue at his own expense, and the monks be punished. St. Ambrose remonstrates with the Emperor, and it would seem, from the following letter to his sister, at first unsuccessfully.#11;41. To his sister Marcellina, relating the circumstances alluded to above, and telling her of his sermon before the Emperor, and of his subsequent refusal to celebrate the Eucharist, until the Emperor had promised to rescind the order. The date of the two letters is a.d. 388.#11;42. Reply of St. Ambrose and a synod at Milan to the notification of Pope Siricius announcing the sentence of excommunication passed upon Jovinian and his followers.#11;43, 44. To Horontianus, in reply to his inquiries on some points connected with the Creation.#11;xxi45. To Sabinus, Bishop of Placentia, in answer to questions concerning Paradise.#11;46. To the same, on the subject of an Apollinarian heretic.#11;47!49. To the same, with books and on private matters.#11;50. To Chromatius, probably Bishop of Aquileia, explaining how evil men may be used to utter true prophecies.#11;51. To Theodosius, after the massacre at Thessalonica. Written a.d. 390.#11;52. A private letter to Titianus.#11;53. To Theodosius, to express the sorrow of St. Ambrose at the death of Valentinian II., slain by Arbogastes.#11;54, 55. To Eusebius, not, it would seem, the Bishop of Bologna who was present at the Council of Aquileia, but rather a lay friend to whom St. Ambrose wrote his treatise on the training of a virgin. Probably written a.d. 392 or 393.#11;56. To Theophilus. The troubles of the church of Antioch through the Meletian schism might have terminated on the death of Paulinus, had he not on his deathbed consecrated Evagrius as his successor in violation of the canons. Theodosius, being pressed by the Western bishops, now summoned a council at Capua, commanding Flavian to attend, which command he however disobeyed. The council referred the matter to Theophilus of Alexandria and the bishops of Egypt. But Flavian, as Theophilus had informed St. Ambrose, refused to submit to their decision. This is the reply of St. Ambrose advising Theophilus to summon Flavian once more, and communicate the result to Pope Siricius. The letter must have been written quite at the end of a.d. 391, or the beginning of 392.#11;57. To Eugenius the usurper, to avoid whom St. Ambrose had left Milan, and to whose letters he had sent no reply. Written a.d. 393.#11;58. To Sabinus, Bishop, on the resolution of Paulinus and Therasia to forsake the world. Written probably a.d. 393.#11;59. To Severus, Bishop probably of Naples, telling him of James, a Persian priest, who had resolved to retire from the world into Campania, and contrasting this with his own troubles, owing to the invasion of Eugenius, a.d. 393 or 394.#11;60. To Paternus, against a proposed incestuous marriage.#11;61. To Theodosius, after his victory over Eugenius. Written a.d. 394.#11;62. To the same, urging him to be merciful to the followers of Eugenius. Written in the same year.#11;63. To the Church at Vercell!.#11;The second division of the letters, being those which cannot be dated, begins here in the Benediction Edition.#11;64. To Iren!us, on the Manna.#11;65. To Simplicianus, on Exodus xxiv. 6.#11;66. To Romulus, on AaronOs making the calf of the golden earrings.#11;67. To Simplicianus, showing how Moses yielded to Aaron in matters relating to his priestly character.#11;68. To Romulus. Explanation of the text Deut. xxviii. 23.#11;69. To Iren!us, answering a question as to the prohibition under severe penalties in the Mosaic law, of disguising the sex by dress.#11;70, 71. To Horontianus, on part of the prophecy of Micah.#11;72. To Constantius, on the rite of circumcision.#11;73!76. To Iren!us. Why the law was given, and the scope of the Epistle to the Ephesians. The letter numbered 75 is plainly a continuation of 74, although inscribed to Clementianus, a difficulty similar to that about letter 26.#11;77, 78. To Horontianus, contrasting the condition of the Jew and the Christian.#11;79, 80. To Bellicius, on recovery from sickness, and on the miracle of healing the man blind from his birth.#11;81. To certain clergy, against despondency.#11;82. To Marcellus, concerning a lawsuit.#11;83. To Sisinnius, commending him for forgiving his son, who had married without consulting him.#11;84. To Cynegius.#11;85, 86. To Siricius, with thanks for letters, and commending Priscus.#11;xxii87. To Segatius [more probably Ph!badius], Bishop of Agens, and Delphinus, Bishop of Bordeaux. Polybius, mentioned in the letter, was proconsul of Africa between the years 380 and 390.#11;88. To Atticus. Commendation of Priscus.#11;89. To Alypius. Acknowledgment of letters.#11;90. To Antonius.

Before and after 1492, when the Jews were officially expelled from Spain, a significant number of these conversos maintained clandestine ties to Judaism, despite their outward conformity to Catholicism. Through the lens of the Inquisition's own records, this groundbreaking study focuses on the crypto-Jewish women of Castile, demonstrating their central role in the perpetuation of crypto-Jewish society in the absence of traditional Jewish institutions led by men.

From the settlement of the earliest peoples in the Americas to the close of the seventeenth century, enormous changes took place in what was to become the continental United States. To help students understand this sweep of history, this unique resource provides detailed description and expert analysis of the ten most important events through the seventeenth century: First Encounters, c. 40, 000 BCE-1492 AD; The Expedition of Coronado, 1540-1542; The Founding of St. Augustine, 1565; Early English Colonization Efforts, c. 1584-1630; Early European-Native American Encounters, 1607-1637; The Introduction of Slavery into America, 1619; The Surrender of New Amsterdam, 1664; King Philip's War, 1675-1676; The Glorious Revolution in America, 1688-1689; and The Salem Witch Trials, 1692. Each event is dealt with in a separate chapter. The examination goes beyond traditional textbook treatment of history by considering the immediate and far-reaching ramifications of each event. Each chapter features an introductory essay that presents the facts of the event in a clear, chronological manner that makes complex history understandable. This essay is followed by an interpretive essay, written by a recognized authority in the field in a style designed to appeal to a general readership and promote critical thinking, that places the event in a broader context and assesses it in terms of its political, economic, sociocultural, and international significance. With an illustration and an annotated bibliography for each event, a glossary of names, events, and terms of the period, a timeline of important events in American history through the seventeenth century, Events That Changed America Through theSeventeenth Century is an ideal addition to the high school, community college, and undergraduate reference shelf, as well as excellent supplementary reading in social studies and American history courses.

Silber, 24 Nov. 1492 & 13 Feb. 1493.p First edition of an important and massive work in the famous controversy regarding errors in Pliny, in which Leoniceno took the opposing side; this work was immediately saluted as the most authoritative discussion of Pliny!s Historia Naturalis available. Barbaro (1454!93), was one of the leaders of humanism. Crowned as a poet at the age of fourteen by Frederick III, he became a doctor at Padua in 1477, made a careful translation of Aristotle, held public office, taught Greek in public, and gathered about him the most illustrious scientists of the end of the century. In 1486, he was Venetian Ambassador to the Emperor Frederick, and in 1489 was Ambassador to Innocent VIII, who created him Cardinal and Patriarch of Aquileia. He died in 1493, leaving behind him a surprising amount of erudite work that showed a wide knowledge of Greek and of ancient literature. !In 1490 Leoniceno inaugurated a famous controversy on the errors of Pliny the elder. In this year he sent to Politian a critique of Ibn Sina, in which he noted in passing that Pliny seems to have confused the two herbs ivy and cistus because of the similarity of their Greek names; Politian commended Leoniceno!s castigation of Ibn Sina but politely challenged his criticism of Pliny. Leoniceno responded with a tract, On the errors of Pliny and others in medicine (1492), in which he not only defended his original point but charged Pliny with many other errors stemming from verbal confusion.!!D.S.B., VIII, p. 249. Leoniceno!s book aroused a great storm of protest, indignation, and malediction. In the present work, Barbaro responded indirectly. !He claimed to have freed the text from some five thousand errors of copyists and printers, but did not wish anyone to think that Pliny himself had erred and affirmed that his reputation could in no way be overthrown. Without mentioning Leonicenus by name, Barbarus expressly refuted ! and that rather sharply ! some of his criticisms of Pliny.!!Thorndike, IV, p. 601. A very good and fresh copy. ❧ Goff B-100.

New Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549) was the sister and wife to kings and a pivotal influence in sixteenth-century France. An astute politician and diligent humanist, she was a champion of gender equality and the evangelical reform movement, which recognized that the clergy was more concerned with maintaining the church's power than ministering to the faithful. As the years passed and the glitter of life at court waned, however, Marguerite came to realize her true vocation: writing. "Selected Writings" brings together a representative sampling of Marguerite's varied writings, most of it never before translated into English, enabling Anglophone readers to enjoy the full breadth of her work for the first time. From verse letters and fables to mythological-pastoral tales, from spiritual songs to a selection of novellas from the "Heptameron, " the wide range of works included here will reveal Marguerite de Navarre to be one of the most important writers— male or female— of sixteenth-century France.

Between 1391 and the end of the 15th century, numerous Spanish Jews converted to Christianity, most of them under duress. Before and after 1492, when the Jews were officially expelled from Spain, a significant number of these conversos maintained clandestine ties to Judaism, despite theiroutward conformity to Catholicism. Through the lens of the Inquisition's own records, this groundbreaking study focuses on the crypto-Jewish women of Castile, demonstrating their central role in the perpetuation of crypto-Jewish society in the absence of traditional Jewish institutions led by men. Renee Levine Melammed shows how many "conversas" acted with great courage and commitment to perpetuate their religious heritage, seeing themselves as true daughters of Israel. Her fascinating book sheds new light on the roles of women in the transmission of Jewish traditions and cultures.

Within this area of research the organotin chemistry reigns as one of the most important branches. The decisive reason for this development has been the wide range of potential application of these compounds in industry, technology, and agriculture. The present volume continues the series on Organotin Compounds, which first appeared in 1975 and now comprises a collection of sixteen volumes. The overall plan of the series has been given in the preface of Volume 1. This volume concludes the description of the mononuclear organotin compounds with tin-oxygen bonds. Treatment of organotin compounds with tin-sulfur, -selenium, and -tellurium bonds appeared earlier in the Volumes 9 and 10. Volume 17 describes in detail the following compound types: RSn(OR')3, RSn(OR')2OR", R2Sn(X)OR', RSnX(OR')2, and RSnX2(OR').       [Bookseller: Antiquariat-Versandbuchhandel Uwe L�b]  58.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   CLAVASIO DE ANGELU FRATE SUMMA ANGELICA       GEORGIU DE ARRIVABENIS, VENETIIS 1492 - Rilegatura antica in piena pergamena con traccie di legacci.

Al piatto posteriore e' invece uno stemma non identificato, con una corona marchionale entro tondo con due draghi e con aquila rampante circondata da tre aquile e il sole. Prima edizione di questo importante trattato scientifico sui veleni compilato dal medico valenciano Ilmado Arduino (fl. 1400-1450), sulla base della tradizione araba medievale e della conoscenza empirica in materia al principio del XV secolo. Precede il testo una Tabula dei capitoli. Buon esemplare, con ampi margini bianchi (restauri nei marg. esterni dei primi 4 ff.).

Translated from the Spanish and edited, with an introduction and notes by Lucien Wolf. In the text, the Calendar of Jewish Cases spans from 1499 to 1818. Appendix (Process of Antao Rodrigues Lindo) and Index. A sample of this fascinating story: "Between 1523 and 1532 the happy Canaries---the Fortunate Islands of the early voyagers---suffered a series of calamities as strange as they were appalling. Plague broke out in Grand Canary and ravaged the whole island, and in its wake followed the horrors of famine. The inhabitants fled to the neighbouring islands where they created a panic which speedily took the form of religious exaltation. This was the opportunity for the Inquisitor Ximenes, who at last found a congenial public opinion to appeal to. The awful visitations were pictured by him as manifestations of divine wrath on account of the tolerance of Judaical and Mohammedan backsliders, who celebrated in secret the rites of the detestable heresies they had solemnly pledged themselves to abandon. To appease the Almighty Don Martin set out on the warpath against the heretics, and laid his plans for a...       [Bookseller: Alibris]  62.   Check availability:     Alibris   Link/Print   AUGUSTIS QUIRICUS DE LUMEN APOTHECARIORUM.

In fine un utile indice degli argomenti in ordine alfabetico. Editio princeps di questo trattato di farmacologia straordinariamente raro (3 soli esempl. in Italia: Milano, Torino e Venezia e nessun esempl. negli altri paesi europei ed in USA), contenente una quantita' di formule dettagliate e di medicinali composti da un gran numero d'ingredienti (talvolta fino a trenta). L'opera, basata su fonti antiche e sugli scienziati arabi, quali Avicenna e Mesua, vuole aiutare i farmacisti nel chiarire oscure terminologie e nell'applicazione di droghe ed indica rimedi contro dolori di stomaco, di testa, agli occhi, ecc. e vari benefici per i disturbi dell'umore. L'applicazione di ingredienti esotici (quali oppio, rabarbaro, mandragora, cardamono, varie piante e pietre preziose) illustrano e documentano il commercio italiano delle droghe e la crescente conoscenza delle sostanze medicinali nel tardo medioevo. L'opera ebbe enorme successo, tanto da venir quasi, per cosi' dire, consunta dall'uso dei farmacisti dell'epoca; fu ancora ristampata nel 1525 ed utilizzata nel corso di tutto il XVI secolo. Il piemontese Quirico degli Augusti, nato a Tortona intorno alla meta' del XV sec., fu medico di Margherita, figlia di Carlo, duca del Borbonese, e moglie di Filippo "senza terra", allora conte di Bresse, poi duca di Savoia; verso la fine del secolo esercito' l'arte medica a Vercelli. Superbo cimelio dell'arte tipografica torinese. Esempl. puro e marginoso, con al verso dell'ultimo foglio una ricetta manoscritta in italiano d'inizio XVI secolo.

This volume deals with the properties of special functions and orthogonal polynomials (Legendre, Gegenbauer, Jacobi, Laguerre, Bessel and others) which are related to the class 1 representations of various groups. The tree method for the construction of bases for representation spaces is given. 'Continuous' bases in the spaces of functions on hyperboloids and cones and corresponding Poisson kernels are found. Also considered are the properties of the q-analogs of classical orthogonal polynomials, related to representations of the Chevalley groups and of special functions connected with fields of p-adic numbers. Much of the material included appears in book form for the first time and many of the topics are presented in a novel way. This volume will be of great interest to specialists in group representations, special functions, differential equations with partial derivatives and harmonic anlysis.

St. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan from 374 to 397; born probably 340, at Trier, Arles, or Lyons; died 4 April, 397. He was one of the most illustrious Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and fitly chosen, together with St. Augustine, St. John Chrysostom, and St. Athanasius, to uphold the venerable Chair of the Prince of the Apostles in the tribune of St. Peter's at Rome.This volume of his collected works contains his complete letters with several additional important shorter treatises.The largest part of this volume contains the important letters of St Ambrose but it is supplemented by various shorter works, including several important treatises on virginity."He wrote several works on virginity, or rather published a number of his discourses on that virtue, the most important of which is the treatise "On Virgins" addressed to his sister Marcellina, herself a virgin consecrated to the divine service. St. Jerome says (Ep. xxii) that he was the most eloquent and exhaustive of all the exponents of virginity, and his judgment expresses yet the opinion of the church." [CE]Our volume contains:De Virginibus. Three books concerning Virgins, addressed to his sister Marcellina in the year 377, probably, like most of the treatises of St. Ambrose, revised from addresses, the first of which was delivered on the festival of St. Agnes, January 21. This would seem to have been perhaps the very earliest of the writings of St. Ambrose, judging from the opening chapter. The treatise is referred to by St. Jerome, St. Augustine, Cassian, and others.2.. De Viduis. This shorter work, concerning Widows, was probably written not very long after the last mentioned treatise.3. De Virginitate. A treatise on Virginity, the date of which cannot certainly be fixed, but the writing De Viduis is referred to in chapter 9.4. De Institutione Virginis. A treatise on the training and discipline of a Virgin, addressed to Eusebius, either bishop or a noble of Bologna, after St. Ambrose had admitted his niece to the rank of Virgins, probably about a.d. 391 or 392.5. Exhortatio Virginitatis. A commendation of Virginity preached on the occasion of the consecration of a church at Florence by St. Ambrose, a.d. 393 or 394.The Letters of St. Ambrose:1. To the Emperor Gratian, in reply to his request for a treatise on the Faith. Written a.d. 379, before August, as Gratian came to Milan in that month.2. To Constantius, a bishop, on episcopal duties, and commending to him the care of the vacant see of Forum Cornelii, or Imola. Probably written about a.d. 379.3, 4. To Cornelius, Bishop of Comum, the first a friendly letter, the second containing also an invitation to the consecration of a church by Bassianus, Bishop of Laus Pompeia, now Lodi Vecchio, near Milan. Written probably after a.d. 381.5, 6. To Syagrius, Bishop of Verona. On a charge falsely brought against the Virgin Indicia. They may have been written a.d. 380.xx7, 8. To Justus, perhaps Bishop of Lyons. On holy Scripture. If the conjecture that Justus was the Bishop of Lyons is correct, written about 380 or 381.9�12. Letters concerning the Council of Aquileia, held a.d. 381, to the bishops of the provinces of Gaul, to the Emperor Gratian and his colleagues. Two men, Palladius and Secundianus, held Arian opinions, and the former appears to have asked Gratian to convoke a General Council, pleading that he was unjustly condemned. St. Ambrose pointed out to the Emperor that such a question as the orthodoxy of two persons could be settled by a local council in Italy; and as a result, by the Emperor�s mandate, a council of Italian bishops met at Aquileia, other bishops having also permission to attend. Palladius and Secundianus were condemned, and these letters have reference to the proceedings at the council. They were probably written by St. Ambrose in the name of the council, a.d. 381.13, 14. Two letters addressed to Theodosius, the former relating the decisions of a council, probably held at Milan, on the Meletian schism at Antioch, and the latter further expressing the desire of the bishops for a council on this subject, and also on the opinions of Apollinaris. Written a.d. 381 or 382.15. To the Bishops of Macedonia, in reply to their notification of the death of Acholius, Bishop of Thessalonica, who baptized Theodosius, and had met St. Ambrose at a council in Rome. Written a.d. 383.16. To Anicius, on his election to succeed Acholius, whose labours and life are commended by St. Ambrose. Written a.d. 383.17, 18. On the occasion of the attempt of Symmachus and the heathen senators to procure the restitution of the image and Altar of Victory in the Roman Senate-house, frustrated by St. Ambrose, a.d. 384.19. To Vigilius, Bishop of Trent, subsequently martyred, written probably about a.d. 385.20. To his sister, Marcellina, giving an account of the frustrated attempts of the Arian and imperial party to gain possession of a basilica at Milan, a.d. 385,21. To the Emperor Valentinian II., declining the challenge to dispute with the Arian Auxentius before lay judges. a.d. 386.22. To his sister Marcellina, giving an account of the finding of the bodies of SS. Gervasius and Protasius, and of the consequent miracles. Written a.d. 386.23. To the bishops of the province of �milia, on the proper date for the observance of Easter, in 387. Written a.d. 386.24. To Valentinian II., with an account of St. Ambrose�s second mission to Maximus on his behalf. Written probably a.d. 387.25, 26. Inscribed the former to Studius, the second to Iren�us, but from internal evidence these appear to be the same person. It deals with the question, how far a judge being a Christian may lawfully sentence any one to death. Written probably about a.d. 388.27�33. Addressed to Iren�us, on various questions. Written about a.d. 387.34�36. To Orontianus, a cleric, on the soul and other questions. Written after 386.37, 38. To Simplicianus, who became the successor of St. Ambrose in the see of Milan, setting forth that holiness is perfect freedom.39. To Faustinus, on the occasion of the death of a sister. Written probably after a.d. 387.40. To Theodosius. The Jewish synagogue at Callinicum in Mesopotamia having been destroyed by the Christians, and a meeting-house of the Valentinian heretics also burnt by the Catholics, Theodosius ordered that the bishop should rebuild the synagogue at his own expense, and the monks be punished. St. Ambrose remonstrates with the Emperor, and it would seem, from the following letter to his sister, at first unsuccessfully.41. To his sister Marcellina, relating the circumstances alluded to above, and telling her of his sermon before the Emperor, and of his subsequent refusal to celebrate the Eucharist, until the Emperor had promised to rescind the order. The date of the two letters is a.d. 388.42. Reply of St. Ambrose and a synod at Milan to the notification of Pope Siricius announcing the sentence of excommunication passed upon Jovinian and his followers.43, 44. To Horontianus, in reply to his inquiries on some points connected with the Creation.xxi45. To Sabinus, Bishop of Placentia, in answer to questions concerning Paradise.46. To the same, on the subject of an Apollinarian heretic.47�49. To the same, with books and on private matters.50. To Chromatius, probably Bishop of Aquileia, explaining how evil men may be used to utter true prophecies.51. To Theodosius, after the massacre at Thessalonica. Written a.d. 390.52. A private letter to Titianus.53. To Theodosius, to express the sorrow of St. Ambrose at the death of Valentinian II., slain by Arbogastes.54, 55. To Eusebius, not, it would seem, the Bishop of Bologna who was present at the Council of Aquileia, but rather a lay friend to whom St. Ambrose wrote his treatise on the training of a virgin. Probably written a.d. 392 or 393.56. To Theophilus. The troubles of the church of Antioch through the Meletian schism might have terminated on the death of Paulinus, had he not on his deathbed consecrated Evagrius as his successor in violation of the canons. Theodosius, being pressed by the Western bishops, now summoned a council at Capua, commanding Flavian to attend, which command he however disobeyed. The council referred the matter to Theophilus of Alexandria and the bishops of Egypt. But Flavian, as Theophilus had informed St. Ambrose, refused to submit to their decision. This is the reply of St. Ambrose advising Theophilus to summon Flavian once more, and communicate the result to Pope Siricius. The letter must have been written quite at the end of a.d. 391, or the beginning of 392.57. To Eugenius the usurper, to avoid whom St. Ambrose had left Milan, and to whose letters he had sent no reply. Written a.d. 393.58. To Sabinus, Bishop, on the resolution of Paulinus and Therasia to forsake the world. Written probably a.d. 393.59. To Severus, Bishop probably of Naples, telling him of James, a Persian priest, who had resolved to retire from the world into Campania, and contrasting this with his own troubles, owing to the invasion of Eugenius, a.d. 393 or 394.60. To Paternus, against a proposed incestuous marriage.61. To Theodosius, after his victory over Eugenius. Written a.d. 394.62. To the same, urging him to be merciful to the followers of Eugenius. Written in the same year.63. To the Church at Vercell�.The second division of the letters, being those which cannot be dated, begins here in the Benediction Edition.64. To Iren�us, on the Manna.65. To Simplicianus, on Exodus xxiv. 6.66. To Romulus, on Aaron�s making the calf of the golden earrings.67. To Simplicianus, showing how Moses yielded to Aaron in matters relating to his priestly character.68. To Romulus. Explanation of the text Deut. xxviii. 23.69. To Iren�us, answering a question as to the prohibition under severe penalties in the Mosaic law, of disguising the sex by dress.70, 71. To Horontianus, on part of the prophecy of Micah.72. To Constantius, on the rite of circumcision.73�76. To Iren�us. Why the law was given, and the scope of the Epistle to the Ephesians. The letter numbered 75 is plainly a continuation of 74, although inscribed to Clementianus, a difficulty similar to that about letter 26.77, 78. To Horontianus, contrasting the condition of the Jew and the Christian.79, 80. To Bellicius, on recovery from sickness, and on the miracle of healing the man blind from his birth.81. To certain clergy, against despondency.82. To Marcellus, concerning a lawsuit.83. To Sisinnius, commending him for forgiving his son, who had married without consulting him.84. To Cynegius.85, 86. To Siricius, with thanks for letters, and commending Priscus.xxii87. To Segatius [more probably Ph�badius], Bishop of Agens, and Delphinus, Bishop of Bordeaux. Polybius, mentioned in the letter, was proconsul of Africa between the years 380 and 390.88. To Atticus. Commendation of Priscus.89. To Alypius. Acknowledgment of letters.90. To Antonius. On the mutual affection of himself and St. Ambrose.91. To Candidianus, probably a fellow-bishop.

New This work, a virtually unique opportunity for those wishing to learn about pre-Hispanic America and its art, is divided into two parts and includes an essay by the Nobel Prize Winner for Literature Octavio Paz. The first part of the book is historical and, essentially, examines the brutal shock suffered by two worlds between 1492, the year of the discovery of America, and 1532, when Pizarro subdued and conquered the Inca empire in Peru, eleven years after Hernando Cortes had destroyed the Aztecs in Mexico. The connection between what took place in those dramatic years is illustrated with maps, old engravings and color photographs of various pre-Columbian archeological sites, as well as some of the background scenarios linked to the exploits of the European navigators. The second part looks at the major civilisations (Maya, Aztec, Inca, etc. ), and some little-known although equally fascinating cultures, attributed with the production of the approximately one hundred and fifty works of art from Mesoamerica, Central America, and the Andean Cordillera and the Amazon Basin, shown in full page color illustrations. The authors— historians and specialists— provide in these pages a clear vision of what has often been drawn out in long-winded explanations. Most importantly, they pause on the aesthetic value of peoples that have, on many occasions, been called "primitive, " without however omitting to place the sculptures, pottery and fabrics selected by the authors themselves in a precise anthropological context. The result is an exemplary work of interest and delight that neither experts nor the inquisitive will be able to resist.
