Roma, Andreas Freitag 1492 4to (cm 20), cartoncino ottocentesco, ben conservato all’interno. Testo su una sola colonna, 28-29 ll. per pag., carattere gotico, cc. (4 nn.). Nello stesso anno 1492 uscirono tre edizioni dell’orazione del Tegrimi con il ‘saluto’ del "popolo lucchese" ad Alessandro VI (eletto papa nell’agosto): due presso lo stesso Freitag e una presso Plannck (considerata la prima). Questa è l’ultima e la più corretta, in quanto presenta le tracce di una revisione del testo a partire dalla data nel titolo, cambiata da 26 a 25 ottobre (il 26 era una venerdì, giorno in cui non si usa tenere il Concistoro). Niccolò Tegrimi (Lucca 1447-1527) fu un valente giureconsulto, storico e oratore, ed è noto, oltre che per aver scritto una notevole Vita di Castruccio Castracani, per aver portato l’arte tipografica a Nozzano, vicino a Lucca, chiamando nella propria casa di campagna i tipografi Enrico di Colonia e Enrico di Harlem (che diedero alla luce nel 1491 l’unico libro ivi stampato: la ‘Disputatio iuris’ di Paolo Turrettini).

PRISCIAN.
|
|
| Opera.
|
Venice, Philippus Pincius 20 June 1492. 1492 Folio, 308 ll. misnumbered, first blank. Roman letter in two sizes, smaller notes surrounding text, some Greek. One word title printed on verso of last for pasting onto blank prelim if so desired - in this copy the leaf has been cut ready at gutter but not pasted. Contemp. autograph or ex libris on prelim and fly, contemp. ms. on rear free endpaper and very occasionally in text. the odd marginal waterstain, spot or paper ageing, generally a most attractive copy in contemp. quarter pigskin over wooden boards, 4 triple line lozenges, triangles and other geometric borders, small blind panels of phoenixes, 'Tudor' roses and other decoration within, all of one and most of another clasp. An uncommon printing of Priscian of which Goff (cit.infr.) records only two copies. It combines the textual version of Benedictus Brognolus with the commmentary of Ioannes de Aingre and is only the second edition to do so. Priscian (fl.c. AD 500) was the last of the great grammarians of the Roman world. Apart from a treatise on weights and measures and a translation of the world geography of Dionysius, all Priscian's writings were on grammar or rhetoric, richly endowed with quotations from classical literature and closely following the Greek exemplar of Apollodorus Dyscolus. His text was one of the most widely admired and circulated of the Middle Ages. Three 8th century English scholars were certainly familiar with it - Aldhelm, Bede and Alcuin - and there must have been hardly a medieval library that did not possess a ms. In the mid C.14 chapter house of St. Maria Novella in Florence, Priscian's portrait was placed beneath the personification of grammar. It is remarkably fitting that the last work of the ninety year old Cassiodorus at Monte Cassino was the complilation of extracts from Priscian, and equally so that the first copy of his Opera, from which all surviving texts derive was made posthumously by his pupil Theodorus not at Rome but at Constantinople. Priscian was one of the very few bridges linking these two intellectual worlds. A handsome unrestored copy in a particularly appropriate South German monastic binding. BMC V 493. Harris 13362. Goff P969. (Catholic University Washington and N.Y. Public). Klebs 806:10. SN2514.

MANOSCRITTO - ARETINO PIETRO
|
|
| "LI SETTE SALMI PENITENZIALI SCRITTI DA LA DIVINA PENNA DI MISSIER PIETRO ARETINO". (SEGUE:) "RAGIONAMENTO NEL QUALE M. PIETRO ARETINO FIGURA QUATTRO SUOI AMICI CHE FAVELLANO DELLE CORTI DEL MONDO E
|
di quella del Cielo". Manoscritto della meta' del XVI secolo, su carta, bella e chiara grafia in inchiostro bruno: in-4 (250x160 mm.), 43 ff. mss. recto e verso, non numerati, seguiti da 6 ff. bianchi, per i Sette Salmi; 61 ff. mss. recto e verso, non numerati, seguiti 3 ff. bianchi, per il Ragionamento, ottima carta a mano, con filigrane cinquecentesche, a pieni margini. Legatura coeva in cartoncino rustico, assai fresca. Pietro Aretino nacque ad Arezzo nel 1492, ove visse in un primo tempo, trasferendosi poi a Perugia, Siena ed a Roma dal 1517, ove fu amico di Sebastiano del Piombo, Raffaello, Sansovino, intimo di tutti i letterati, regista di beffe, satire e piacevolezze mondane, feroce oppositore della chiesa romana. Dal 1525 inizio' la pubblicazione dei suoi scritti, tra i primi i Sonetti del Conclave e i Sonetti Lussuriosi, e alcune commedie. Fu scrittore assai fecondo e originale. I Sette Salmi Penintenziali furono pubblicati a Venezia dal Marcolini nel 1536. Consistono in una estrosa pafarasi dei biblici salmi, tradotti e arricchiti da Aretino della sua prosa immaginosa e celebrativa. Il Ragionamento delle Corti del Mondo e del Cielo vide la luce a stampa nel 1538. E uno sfogo sarcastico che raggiunge ogni strato sociale e nel far parlare le carte da giuoco realizza una satira delle illusioni e delle debolezze umane della societa' a lui contemporanea. Aretino mori' a Venezia nel 1556. - I due testi qui offerti sono fedeli alla compilazione delle rarissime edizioni originali del 1536 e 1538, con insignificanti varianti, per lo piu' grammaticali. Splendido manoscritto di raro testo letterario, di pochi anni posteriore alle edizioni a stampa, in ottima conservazione. DBIT IV, pp. 89-104. Diz. Biografico degli Italiani, vol. IV, pp. 89-104.

HENRY VII (1457-1509).
|
|
| Handsome large document bodly signed ('HR') at the head and written and sealed at Calais, 220 x 310½ mm. (ca 9 x 12½ inches), in English, 16 November 1492.
|
One vellum membrane with red wax impression of the Royal Signet Seal (central shield with the RoyalCoat of Arms intact), contemporary papering to seal on verso, two small holes. Letters under the Signet addressed to all Mayors, Sheriffs,Escheators, Bailiffs, Constables and all other officers, ministers and subjects, calling on them to assist in proceeding against various ecclesiastical establishments ('abbeyes priouris colleges parish churches chapelles Gildes and chauntres') in the counties of Warwick, Northampton and Worcester for taking over royal lands and for creative accounting ('colourable Wayes of amortisement') 'in defraude and abusion' of the Crown and 'the manifest & open Wrong of our prerogative royal', 25 lines, IN ENGLISH, 'Yeven Under our signet at our town of Calais' during 'our great Voiage into the parties of fraunce', 16 November 1492Documents by Henry VII are usually half the size of the present one; and as often as not they tend to be in Latin. It is rare for any Tudor royal document to be written aboard - only Henry VII and Henry VIII made brief visits out of England, both of them to France. It was of course during the reign of Henry VII's grandchild Mary I that Calais passed out of Englsh hands and she is said to have been so grieved by its loss that she swore 'When I am dead you will find Calais written on my heart.'' 'Styling himself, interestingly, given where he was, 'King of ffraunce and of England and lord of Ireland' in that order, Henry VII instructs local ministers, officials and officers in Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Worcestershire to cooperate with John Meautis ('our Secretary for the frenshe tong') and John Wylde and Benet Medley (Clerks of the Signet) who are given 'ful power and auctorite' to investigate the lands and by which ecclesiatical officials they have taken and 'soo usurpantly touched' the royal interest. He orders the three officers to seize the lands and account to him with details of where the lands lie ('certificat of every parcel of the said landes') and who had alienated them and also gives them for their labours and for their faithful service in France £20 per year from the lands, appurtenances and tenements they are to look into.' ' Henry had sailed to Calais with 25,000 foot soldiers and 1,600 cavalry in October 1492 and laid siege to Boulogne. A treaty was signed with Charles VIII of France at Etaples on 3 November by which peace was agreed for a year after the death of whichever monarch should live the longer. The present document would have been signed at Calais on his return journey; he re-entered London on 22 November.' 'The legislation of Henry VII's reign relating to ecclesiastical matters included several measures to declare void letters patent granted in the past to abbots, priors and other church officials whereby they had been exempted from paying various taxes and other obligations. He also enacted an Act to curtail abuse of benefit of clergy. His son Henry VIII was to sweep away such establishments and officers in his systematic Dissolution of the Monasteries and Religious Houses.

Lyon, Pierre Mareschal, Barnabé Chaussard , ((entre 1492 et 1499)). Petit in-8, [dimension: 124 x 85 mm] de 24 pp. Maroquin vert, dos à nerfs, tranches dorées. (Reliure du XIXe, Marius Magnin.) Très rare édition incunable de ce manuel de dévotion, inconnue de Baudrier. La marque d'imprimeur sur le titre permet de dater cette édition. Elle est identique à la marque nommée 2bis par Baudrier et qui d'après lui, a été utilisée entre 1499 et 1503. Il décrit une édition semblable mais portant "la marque 2, avec cassure dans la bordure du haut, postérieure à 1500". La nôtre est donc antérieure à l'an 1500. En outre, l'explicit de son édition présente deux différences avec le nôtre : "mares / chal" et non "mare / schal" et "Barnabe" et non "Barnabam". Pierre Maréchal et Barnabé Chaussart ont imprimé à partir de 1492 de nombreux ouvrages, très souvent non datés. "Ils se sont fait une spécialité du livre français de lecture pour les masses. Ce sont des imprimeurs français qui méritent une mention spéciale. Ils ont soutenu vaillamment la concurrence contre les étrangers qui s'étaient implantés en maîtres du marché lyonnais. Ils ont propagé la littérature populaire de la France plus que qui que ce soit. Leurs presses ont été très productives. Leurs affaires paraissent avoir été très florissantes, car on les voit fonder une succursale pour la vente de leurs livres à Toulouse, où ils avaient établi un représentant spécial." Claudin, Histoire de l'imprimerie en France, IV, 196. Caractères gothiques, 29 lignes par page. A la fin : Expliciunt articuli fidei vitia & virtutes. / Lugduni impressum per Petrum mare / schal. e Barnabam chaussard. Baudrier, Bibliographie lyonnaise 11, 471. Not in Goff.

(a1 bianca, a2r lettera dedicatoria di Francesco Filelfo a Leonardo Aretino, a3v testo, c3v lettera di Nicolò Lucaro a Borsio Cavitello, c4r colophon). Colophon: Ingeniosissimi & Diligentis chalcographi Bernardini de misintis Papiensi / opera: una cum Cesare Parmense Dion Chrisostomus Pru / sensis in lucem elegans:splendens: & integre: rediit Cremone Impres- / sus: Anno ab incarnatione sacralissime virginis. 1492. undecimo Ka- / lendas Augustas. Carattere romano (80R), testo su 34-38 linee, un’iniziale istoriata su 10 linee. Legatura ottocentesca in mezza pergamena con doppio tassello al dorso. Ottimo esemplare, uno strappo restaurato nel margine interno della carta a7. Prima traduzione latina ad opera di Francesco Filelfo della celebre orazione in cui Dione Crisostomo dimostra, grazie alla sua erudizione e alle sue spiccate doti dialettiche, che quanto Omero e la tradizione da lui derivata ci tramandano in merito alla presa di Troia, non corrisponde al vero. Dione usa una tecnica retorica ben precisa, quella della recusatio, per la rielaborazione di un testo poetico, al fine di trasmettere un chiaro messaggio politico; in piena età imperiale, appariva più conveniente contestare una fine cruenta del conflitto fra Greci e Troiani quale ci è tramandata dalle fonti antiche e sottolineare, contrariamente alla tradizione, un esito concordato delle ostilità quasi a sottintendere, in perfetta sintonia con l’idea della pax romana, un processo di coesione fra il mondo orientale e quello ellenico e occidentale. L’orazione, volta a dimostrare che Troia non cadde in mano ai Greci e quindi che i Troiani furono i veri vincitori del conflitto, è divisa in tre parti: la prima è tutta incentrata sull’evidenziazione di errori e omissioni commessi da Omero nella ricostruzione storica della guerra di Troia; la seconda verte sulla figura di Elena che non sarebbe stata rapita bensì regolarmente sposata con Paride, mentre nella terza parte Dione, dopo aver sottoposto il testo omerico ad una critica serrata, dimostra come la superiorità dei Troiani abbia condotto questi ultimi alla vittoria. L’orazione si conclude con l’asserzione che la guerra di Troia finì con la stipula di un trattato di pace fra i contendenti che salvaguardò i diritti degli uni e degli altri e che, terminata la guerra, alcuni dei capi troiani, Enea in primis, furono inviati a fondare colonie in Occidente. La società fra il pavese Bernardino de Misintis e Cesare da Parma che, in precedenza aveva collaborato con Bernardino Celerio, iniziò ad operare a Brescia all’inizio del 1492 utilizzando dei caratteri tipografici ottenuti dai fratelli Angelo e Jacopo de Britannicis. Dopo aver stampato tre soli libri i due tipografi si trasferirono a Cremona; qui, nel breve volgere di quindici mesi, stamparono circa otto opere prima di sciogliere la società. Bernardino de Misintis fece quindi ritorno a Brescia dove operò fino al 1502 mentre Cesare da Parma, rimasto a Cremona, collaborò con Rafainus Ungaronus fra il 1494 e il 1496.

Venice, Philippus Pincius 20 June 1492. 1492 Folio, 308 ll. misnumbered, first blank. Roman letter in two sizes, smaller notes surrounding text, some Greek. One word title printed on verso of last for pasting onto blank prelim if so desired - in this copy the leaf has been cut ready at gutter but not pasted. Contemp. autograph or ex libris on prelim and fly, contemp. ms. on rear free endpaper and very occasionally in text. the odd marginal waterstain, spot or paper ageing, generally a most attractive copy in contemp. quarter pigskin over wooden boards, 4 triple line lozenges, triangles and other geometric borders, small blind panels of phoenixes, 'Tudor' roses and other decoration within, all of one and most of another clasp. An uncommon printing of Priscian of which Goff (cit.infr.) records only two copies. It combines the textual version of Benedictus Brognolus with the commmentary of Ioannes de Aingre and is only the second edition to do so. Priscian (fl.c. AD 500) was the last of the great grammarians of the Roman world. Apart from a treatise on weights and measures and a translation of the world geography of Dionysius, all Priscian's writings were on grammar or rhetoric, richly endowed with quotations from classical literature and closely following the Greek exemplar of Apollodorus Dyscolus. His text was one of the most widely admired and circulated of the Middle Ages. Three 8th century English scholars were certainly familiar with it - Aldhelm, Bede and Alcuin - and there must have been hardly a medieval library that did not possess a ms. In the mid C.14 chapter house of St. Maria Novella in Florence, Priscian's portrait was placed beneath the personification of grammar. It is remarkably fitting that the last work of the ninety year old Cassiodorus at Monte Cassino was the complilation of extracts from Priscian, and equally so that the first copy of his Opera, from which all surviving texts derive was made posthumously by his pupil Theodorus not at Rome but at Constantinople. Priscian was one of the very few bridges linking these two intellectual worlds. A handsome unrestored copy in a particularly appropriate South German monastic binding. BMC V 493. Harris 13362. Goff P969. (Catholic University Washington and N.Y. Public). Klebs 806:10.SN2514.

Venice; Manfredo Bonelli, 27th March 1492. 4to. ff. [84]. Gothic letter, 23 2/3-3/4 page line-drawn woodcuts illustrating text within detailed architectural and floriated borders, large woodcut of Aesop and disciples within elaborate woodcut border to title page, initial spaces, one guide-letter. A few ll. repaired in gutter, not affecting text, skilful paper repairs to last gathering, just affecting a few letters. Light browning to first couple of ll, traces of early ms to blank lower margin of final leaf, now indecipherable, early ms additions to one woodcut. A good copy in contemporary vellum manuscript over later boards. 19th C library label to foot of spine, recased. Second edition of this famous text, deriving substantially from Rinuccio d'Arezzo's Latin edition of 1485 (IB.29533) together with the Italian translation of the humanist printer Francesco del Tuppo (1443/4-1501). The clearly produced illustrations featuring the characters in the text, each with an easily recognizable Aesop, equipped with bald head, limp hair, somewhat squashed nose and hunchback are simple and detailed, the faces in each scene portraying a range of emotions, from resignation to bemusement. The figures are clearly the main focus, taking up most of each picture, with backgrounds kept clear yet effective, allowing the illustrations to tell Aesop's story at least as effectively as the text. The borders, here used for the second time, are taken from the edition of Fables, 31st January 1491. Best known for his fables, Aesop remains enigmatic. "The Life" shows Aesop born a mute and ugly slave, but granted the power to speak and tell stories in thanks for assistance to an attendant of the goddess Isis. Newly adept at speaking, he goes to Samos, where he becomes the slave of a philosopher, Xanthus. Narrating Aesop's life with Xanthus, "The Life" implicates Aesop in a series of wild adventures, witty fables and obscene episodes which demonstrate his innate superiority to his philosopher master starting with his transformation and ending with his death. Reminiscent of Roman satire, "The Life" has acquired lasting appeal reprinted almost as often as the Fables. Though mentioned in passing by Herodotus, Aristophanes and Plato, it is likely that Aesop was a Phrygian slave who acquired notoriety for his storytelling ability, and was later freed, going on to make rousing speeches in the public arena. According to Herodotus Aesop was rumoured to have jumped from a cliff at Delphi, sentenced to death for insulting the Delphians. Controversy prevails over the nature of the insult, with the favoured account stating that he refused to distribute his master's gold to them on account of their greed. Only 7 copies recorded outside Italy. Hain-Reichling 354. 'After the edition of Rinucius,' Goff A-110 (5 copies). GKW I:445 (7 copies).

Basel: Johann Froben, 1492. First printed bible in octavo, the so-called "Poor Man's Bible." Short octavo (6 3/16 x 4 5/16 inches; 157 x 110 mm; title somewhat smaller (6 2/16 x 4 inches; 154 x 102 mm)). [493] of 496 leaves (bound without a1, the final leaf of the Summarium, and e7 and e8, the two final blanks). Fifty-six lines of gothic type in two- and three-columns. Nearly every page ruled in red by a contemporary hand. Many pages, especially preliminaries, with rubrication. Manuscript three-line capitals in red and blue throughout, title within a decorative manuscript red scroll.#11;#11;Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, with expert joint restoration. Boards with triple-filleted and foliate borders, and floral ornaments and deer and griffin stamps within a lattice of triple-filleted rules. Spine in compartments, manuscript paper label. Original brass catch-and-clasp fasteners, partially renewed, with new straps. New endpapers. Contemporary ownership inscription at foot of leaf 2 recto. From the library of Swedish bibliophile Per Hierta (1864-1924), with his notations on a leaf of parchment bound in place of a front free endpaper, the parchment also with notes by Swedish philosopher Alf Ahlberg (1892-1979). Occasional light spotting. Leaf 2 trimmed somewhat close. Pinhole sized worming from first leaf to c2. Some insect damage to front board. Overall an excellent copy; clean, fresh and in a contemporary binding. Housed in a parchment-backed clamshell box.#11;#11;This is a notably handsome, remarkably well-preserved copy of this important work, the first Bible printed by renowned printer Johann Froben, and also the first Bible ever to be printed in an octavo format. Bound without the final two blanks, as is often the case; in the past thirty years, just one copy has come up for auction with both blanks present (Sotheby's, December 15, 1986, lot 158).#11;#11;Prior to the publication of Froben's 1491 Biblia integra, printed Bibles tended to be massive folios that were difficult to transport, making them talismanic objects as much as texts, and therefore primarily suited for ecclesiastical use. Because of its relatively diminutive size Froben's Bible became know as the original "Poor Man's Bible", eminently transportable and therefore eminently accessible. Although Froben's Biblia integra was printed in Latin, because of its small size, it should rightly be ranked with Martin Luther's 1534 German Bible, and later sixteenth and seventeenth century Bibles translated into other vernacular European languages, that made the Bible increasingly accessible to laypeople in early modern Europe.#11;#11;"The earliest edition printed in octavo was printed by Johannes Froben de Hammelburg: Baseileae, 27 June 1491 ... This edition from its small size is known as the first 'poor man's Bible.' It is noteworthy also as being the first book, or one of the first books, issued by Johann Froben, the celebrated printer of Basel, who was intimately connected with Erasmus and other prominent men of the age, and printed many books in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Froben's Latin Bibles were based on the 'Fontibus ex Graecis' editions, and were highly esteemed for their accuracy" (Darlow & Moule).#11;#11;Darlow & Moule 6086. Goff B-592. Hain 664. Polain 664.

Two volumes bound in one. ff. 133 leaves [Textus Sequentiarum], (1) [Registrum] (12) [Novo Addite]; 77 leaves [Expositio Himnorum]. Accipies woodcut printer's device on both title pages. Square 8vo. 160 x 220 mm. Latin text in Gothic types. Rubricated throughout, with initial capital letters supplied in red. The text of each sequence and hymn surrounded by appropriate commentary. Some interesting old manuscript ownerships and annotations; and with the later ownership of Elnathan Elisha Higbee (1830-1889), an important Pennsylvania educator and a major scholarly figure in the German Reformed Church. Born at Saint George, VT he eventually studied and taught at Mercersburg (PA) Seminary and College. In 1866 he was elected to succeed Dr. Philip Schaff as professor of theology and, in 1871 was made president of the college. He also served as the distinguished Superintendent of Public Instruction for Pennsylvania 1881-1889. Some old damp stain and soiling on the initial leaves; and a few slight worm holes at the end. Utilitarian modern binding over very heavy boards. Overall, a very good copy. The printer's mark on the title page is the famous Accipies woodcut. It shows a master, seated at a desk on which lies an open book. In front of the master and below the desk are two pupils with books in their hands, Above the figures runs a ribbon with the legend: "Accipies tanti doctoris dogmata sancti". This famous woodcut was used first by our printer, Heinrich Quentell at Cologne. Later variations of this same cut were later employed by: Johann Schoensperger, Augsburg (1497); Hans Reger, Ulm (1499?); Johann Froschauer, Augsburg; Heinrich Gran, Hagenau; and an un-named printer in Strassburg. Over the next decade four or five changed versions appear. See: Robert Proctor. "The Accipies Woodcut" Bibliographica I, p. 52-63. Both hymns and sequences were integral parts of the medieval Catholic liturgy. Sequences came into being in the ninth century as the custom arose of fitting words to the melodies formed by prolonging the final note of the Alleluia of the Mass. Originally meant to be sung by answering choirs of men and boys, a sequence differs from a hymn in that the former has different, rather than repeating, melodies for its strophes. The commentaries, printed in smaller type, surround the main text. They are really quite remarkable. Sometimes they are tight little theological treatises (on such subjects such as the blessings of virginity, or the virtues of Mary); and sometimes containing biographies of the saints (and even a biography of Herod). The collection here gives the texts in the order of the church year. These works are considered anonymous by most sources, but Helmut Gneuss names a hymnologist known as Hilarius as the author. Another source cites one Hermannus Torrentinus. This is the first Quentell edition, and is very scarce. References: 1. Sequentiae: Goff S 457 (two copies only); BMC I: 278; Hain 14682, 2. Expositio.
