[SCHEDEL, Hartmann.]
Liber cronicarum cum figuris et ymaginibus
      Nuremberg: Anton Koberger for Sebald Schreyer, 1493. First edition and an outstanding copy of the first illustrated encyclopedia published at the dawn of the discovery period. As a comprehensive contemporary picture of geographical and historical knowledge, the !Nuremberg Chronicle! as it is called, offers nothing less than a history of the world, and, in its own fashion, expanded the barriers of local cities and states just as the transatlantic voyages expanded the boundaries of the world. As a representative picture of 15th- century geographical and historical knowledge, the work is unsurpassed among incunables, in which books of a religious and liturgical nature predominate. A milestone in the history of printing as well, it contains more illustrations than had ever appeared in a printed book, and as a technical challenge of incunable book production, was superseded only by the first printed book, Gutenberg!s Bible, also published in Nuremberg. The magnificent woodcut views (of which 31 are double-page) are in most cases the first printed views of the cities and towns they depict, and offer a representative view of how 15th- century readers pictured places they would most likely never visit. Many, such as the important double-page view of Jerusalem, were based on the most up-to-date reports of travellers (usually merchants). The colophon credits the artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff for their contribution, a detail with fascinating implication, since Albrecht Durer was at this time an apprentice in their workshop. The work!s author, Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) was a physician and an important humanist and book collector, whose outstanding library provided much of the research materials for the work. (Schedel!s private library is !today among the most precious collections of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich, Germany!.) The original publisher!s contract for the work is extant, providing a revealing window on the complicated production of this enormous project (see further A. Wilson, The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle). A German edition followed later the same year. *Goff S-307; Hain Copinger 14508; BMC II.437; Schreiber 5203; Adrian Wilson, The Making of the Nuremberg Chronicle (1976).. Imperial folio, [432 x 302 mm.], (20), 299, (1) ff., 2 blanks, (5) ff., 1 blank (including Sarmatian supplement (quire 55) misbound at end). Text in 2 columns, 64 lines, in a rotunda type expressly designed for it. 1809 woodcut illustrations from 645 blocks, of which 31 are double-page; spaces left blank for larger initials. Bound in 17th-century red gold-tooled goatskin (Venetian?), sides panelled and with fan ornament at center and corners, flat spine similarly decorated, gilt edges; repairs at spine and corners, small wormholes at bottom edge of boards; some minor rubbing. Ownership inscription of W.A. Foyle on front end pastedown. Handwritten Latin title-page inserted before printed xylographic title, illegible annotation on title. Discrete mend on t-p; minor repairs to several leaves at margin and gutter; small stain in world map; light dampstain, heavier towards end, some browning, fingersoiling and occasional spotting throughout. Generally a large and very attractive copy.

Complet des 3 feuillets blancs CCLIX-CCLX et CCLXI ; la carte sur double-page à la fin du volume est renforcée dans la marge intérieure. Relié en maroquin brun estampé à froid du XIXe siècle, dos à nerfs décoré à froid. EDITION ORIGINALE DE LA CHRONIQUE DE NUREMBERG ILLUSTREE DE 1809 GRAVURES SUR BOIS. Somme des connaissances historiques et géographiques des années 1490, la chronique de Nuremberg est une formidable mise en scène de l'Europe de la fin du Moyen-âge. Orné d'un grand titre xylographique à pleine page, ce superbe incunable est illustré de plus de 1800 bois, certains répétés, d'une grande beauté et d'une précision inouïe. Une multitude de villes d'Europe sont gravées sur double ou simple page, la plupart étant des représentations authentiques de l'état de ces diverses cités à la fin du XVe siècle. Ces bois si célèbres sont dus à Wolgemut.

Il s'agit de l'un des témoignages incunables les plus spectaculaires sur l'europe du XVe siècle.

Das Buch Der Croniken....[Register Des Buchs Der Croniken Und Geschichten Mit Figure[N] Und Pildnussen Von Anbegin Der Welt Bis Auf Dise Unsere Zeit. ]
      Nürnberg (Anton Koberger), 1493. (10), cclxxxvi, (1)ff. (several misnumbered), plus 2 blank leaves. 645 woodblocks, repeated to a total of 1, 809 impressions. Stout folio. 431 x 307 mm. Contemporary stamped pigskin over heavy wooden boards, recently rebacked; remains of one metal clasp and one leather thong. The first German edition of the Nuremberg Chronicle, printed simultaneously with the Latin edition (Liber Chronicarum) in July 1493, but published some five months later, on 23 December. The most extensively illustrated book of the fifteenth century and quite arguably the greatest, the Nuremberg Chronicle--a massive history of the world from Creation to the time of its publication--is filled with woodcuts of exceptionally high quality by Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff depicting a vast range of Biblical and historical subjects, and including many detailed views of contemporary European cities, which are of great topographic interest. The significance of Wolgemut's and Pleydenwurff's innovations for the development of a new woodcut style----also to be seen in their ?Schatzbehalter? of 1491--is underscored both by the fact that here they are the first artists ever to be named in the colophon of a book, and by the almost certain participation of Wolgemut's young apprentice Albrecht Dürer, whose Apocalypse illustrations are remarkably close to these. The text, which was translated from the Latin by Georg Alt, covers not only the Old and New Testaments, and classical and mediaeval history, but such recent and contemporary events as the invention of printing in Mainz, the exploration of the Atlantic and of Africa, the heresy of Wycliff and the Hussites, and other subjects. This vernacular German edition was the first history of the world printed in any language other than Latin, and it is notably rarer than the Latin, having been printed in a considerably smaller edition. Title-page trimmed at all sides; some 50 leaves have been remargined and extended and fitted into the binding; intermitt

BULLEN, Henry Lewis
Nuremberg Chronicle
      1493 1493 - (NUREMBERG CHRONICLE) BULLEN, Henry Lewis. The Nuremberg Chronicle; or, The Book of Chronicles from the Beginning of the World With a Leaf from the First Latin Edition. San Francisco: Printed for the Book Club of California by John Henry Nash, 1930. Tall folio, modern half brown morocco, marbled boards, uncut. $1800. First edition of Bullen's fascinating account of the making and contents of the extraordinary "Nuremberg Chronicle," the first extended study of the great illustrated incunable, number 183 of only 300 copies printed. With original leaf CCXXII from the first Latin edition of 1493 tipped in, as issued; this leaf features woodcuts of a church, three worthies and a comet. Hartmann Schedel compiled his elaborate history of the world from "the first day of creation" to his own time in an effort to correct what he felt was a slight to German history by other chroniclers. He divided his work into the usual six ages of the history of mankind, adding a seventh in which he foretold the coming of the Antichrist, the destruction of the world, and judgment day. Bullen's monograph discusses the book's background, provenance, creators, patrons, illustrations and execution; it includes numerous facsimiles of the Chronicle's woodcuts and typefaces, including a facsimile of the title page and frontispiece. Prospectus and announcement of book club lottery results laid in. Copies are almost never found with the original leather spine intact, as it tended to deteriorate—even the two copies at the Book Club of California are virtually spineless. This sympathetic later binding is in fine condition. [Attributes: First Edition]

Mancano la carta b1 e l'intero quaderno finale u (formato da 10 carte). Gore, pochi tarli al margine esterno delle prime carte, qualche macchia, alcune carte sciolte, mancanza con perdita di testo alla carta t4, restauro marginale alle prime due carte. Notazioni manoscritte antiche al recto di carta a1. Postille e manicule marginali. Non siamo riusciti da identificare con certezza l'edizione: la fascicolatura, la cartulazione e l'impronta non corrispondono a nessuna collazione presente in ICCU (o in edit16 per il primo '500); per quanto riguarda le edizioni del XV sec. fascicolatura e cartulazione corrispondono solo a quella data da BMC, V, 432 per l'edizione De Zanis 1493 (salvo che non è segnalata la particolarità della lettera minuscola i usata per cifra 1 nella cartulazione, particolarità che è sempre segnalata in quel catalogo). A causa dell'incertezza dell'edizione diamo anche fascicolatura e impronta dell'esemplare (quest'ultima presa considerando la prima carta - che reca quello che può essere considerato il titolo: "Martialis cum duobus commentis" - come un protofrontespizio; dall'impronta escludiamo il gruppo finale che si forma in base alla data di cui non siamo certi): fascicolatura: a6, b-t8, [-u10?]; impronta: m-uæ s:l. s:i. quci (3).

CCXII & CCLIII ~ 1493 ~L'arrivée de l'Antéchrist ~ Très rares gravures pleine page in-fol sur bois de l'Apocalypse accompagnée d'une description, par Michael Wohlgemuth Maître de Dûrer et son beau-fils Wilhelm Pleydenwurff dans le "Liber chronicarum cum figuris & ymaginibus ab inicio Mundi d'Hartman Schedel du 12 juillet 1493 Ce n'est que sous forme de brève parenthèse narrative, et sur très peu de pages, que la septième période, clôture la Chronique avec cette superbe et extraordinaire planche où l'on reconnaît la main de Dürer. Il est question des dangers que représente l'arrivée de l'Antéchrist et des décisions du Jugement dernier. Le Jugement est annoncé par les paroles du prophète Malachie (MI 3, 19-24) et le dernier adversaire du Christ, l'Antéchrist, décrit avec les images drastiques de l'Apocalypse (Ap 13). Les hommes sont avertis dans le texte de la fin prochaine du monde. Ce bois montre l'apparition attendue du faux prophète et le combat des anges avec le dragon (Ap. 12, 7) Pöur les Justes reste cependant la certitude consolatrice que la mort seul le ''cadavre fécal, terrestre, le sac à péchés'' est abandonné et que l'esprit de l'homme accède à l'esprit divin, qi'il prend part à la vie divine et qu'il vit pour toujours dans la paix entre les anges et les chœurs des saints. C'est avec cette perspective d'un présent éternel que ce termine la Chronique dans des mots pleins de reconnaissance pour la Création et le Créateur La plus belle et extraordinaire planche de ce monument iconographique!!

Mit 1.809 Holzschnitten, darunter einer doppelseitigen Weltkarte. Ganzpergament über Holzdeckeln mit zwei Messingschließen. Dieser Neudruck von Hartmann Schedels Buch der Chroniken, besser bekannt unter dem Namen Schedelsche Weltchronik, wurde im Jahre 1933 vom F. W. Hendel Verlag zu Leipzig veranstaltet. Gedruckt wurde das Werk in der Offizin Max Breslauer auf Hadernbütten, das von der Firma Ferdinand Flinsch eigens für dieses Buch angefertigt wurde. Die Bindearbeiten besorgte die Buchbinderei H. Sperling in Leipzig. Dieses Exemplar trägt die Nummer 320. Im Gegensatz zu den zahlreichen Neudrucken in verkleinertem Format bietet dieser Faksimiledruck, der einzige in Originalgröße und dem nicht geringen Gewicht von 6,8 kg, auch einen materiellen Eindruck der Monumentalität dieses Buches. Unter den zahlreichen, teils ganzseitigen Holzschnitten finden sich viele Stadtansichten wie z.B.: Wien, Salzburg, Regensburg, Nürnberg, München, Augsburg, Rom, Prag, Budapest, Basel, Jerusalem etc. In der Werkstatt von Michael Wolgemut und Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, die die Illustrationen lieferte, absolvierte zur Enstehungszeit Albrecht Dürer seine Lehrzeit und war möglicherweise mit Vorzeichnungen daran beteiligt. Mehr als 50 Kommissionäre organisierten den Vertrieb in mehr als 30 europäischen Orten.

SHEDEL, HARTMANN - WOLGEMUT, MICHAEL - ANTON KOBERGER.
FLORENCIA.
       Dal "Liber Chronicarum Nurembergensi", bottega di Michael Wolgemut e Wilhem Pleydenwurff, Norimberga fine XV secolo, pubblicata in Schedel Hartmann nel Liber Chronicarum. Xilografia in antica coloritura (ma non coeva), cm 48 x 67 (il foglio), tutte le lettere maiuscole, sia al recto che al verso, sono ritoccate in rosso, insieme ai dettagli dei personaggi che compaiono al verso del foglio. La prima edizione, in latino, fu stampata a Norimberga il 12 luglio del 1493, la seconda edizione, con testo in tedesco, fu stampata sempre a Norimberga nel dicembre dello stesso anno. Un'altra versione, in edizione ridotta, fu pubblicata in Augsburg nel 1496 da Johann Schonsperger. Mentre nelle edizioni veneziane della cronaca del Foresti il rapporto tra editore e illustratore, e tra testo e immagine configura la dominanza del primo termine, nella cronaca di Norimberga i ruoli tendono a rovesciarsi. E' Michael Wolgemut, pittore e designatore, e erede della bottega di Hans Pleydenwurff e maestro di disegno silografico del giovane Durer, che in societa' col figliastro Wilhem si procura i finanziamenti, coopta l'importante tipografo Anton Koberger, e alla testa di un nutrito staff di collaboratori produce circa 650 silografie, per 1809 illustrazioni che costituiscono il fondamento editoriale dell'opera. Il testo e' affidato al dotto medico e umanista norimberghese H. Schedel, gia' studente a Padova, il cui nome non compare ne' in incipit ne' in colophon. L'ingente corpus grafico e' assai disomogeneo per stile e valore del disegno e peripezia d'intaglio, ma nel suo complesso fornisce, secondo E. Panofsky "una nuova espressone delle possibilita' espressive e rappresentative della tecnica silografica". Se le silografie veneziane che illustrano il Foresti sono di piccolo formato, di stile squisitamente grafico, icasticamente concise nel lessico e nella sintassi rappresentativo - simbolica, tendenti alla stilizzazione decorativa, le vedute disegnate dall'equipe di Wolgemut sono al contrario di stile pittorico, di dimensioni medio - grandi, ricche di modellato e complicate di arditi scorci prospettici. Di questi 134 scenari urbani solo una trentina e' piu' o meno verosimile; di quelle italiane solo Roma, Firenze, Venezia e Genova, che tutte (o quasi) si ritengono trasposte da precedenti a stampa. I restanti tre quarti sono figure arbitrarie, come Pisa (alias Troia, alias Ravenna, alias Towered Town inglese), "metafisico" assemblaggio di moduli architettonico - urbanistici e paesaggistici estratti dal formulario di un tedesco; strutture fortificate a sezione prevalentemente cilindrica, con torrini a sbalzo, caditoie e casematte, edifici con facciata a dentelli, tetti spioventi con abbaini, multipli addossati a schiera, un'allucinazione iconografica del tutto scollata dal testo dello Schedel che, all'opposto, ricopia diligentemente la cronaca del Foresti. Bell'esemplare.

KETHAM, Johannes de (fl. 1460)
Fascicolo di Medicina Vulgare. Translated into Italian by Sabastiano Manilio Romano. Venice: Johannes & Gregorius de Grogoriis, 1493. [Facsimile printing:]
      Lucca:: Lucchese Grafica, 20 February 19. y1963. hardcover. 2. Folio in sixes. (351 x 222 mm) Unpaginated, 51, [1 blank, colophon, 2 blank] ff. Ten full-page woodcuts (1 printed in color), handmade paper, deckle edge. Original full brown morocco, gilt-stamped cover decoration and spine title; neatly rebacked. Very good. . Facsimile edition of the first Italian edition of 1493. This printing issue was limited to 350 copies, signed by Professor Carlo Hautmann, of which this is number 46. Of the ten large woodcut illustrations, the dissection cut is colored; the others include Petrus de Montagnano in his library, a consultation of physicians, physicians at the bedside of a plague patient, cuts relating the signs of the zodiac to various parts of the body, and a cut of the female anatomy. !A collection of short medical treatises, some dating as far back as the thirteenth century, which circulated widely in manuscript before the Forlivio brothers issued the editio princeps from their Venetian press in 1491. The Venetian printers may have attributed the collection to its former owner, Johannes von Kircheim, a professor of medicine in Vienna circa 1460; !Ketham! is a plausible Italian corruption of !Kirchheim.! The first edition was the first printed medical book to have anatomical illustrations of any kind! The dramatically improved and more realistic illustrations, which were reproduced in the numerous later editions, are by an unknown artist, about whom there has been much speculation; he was certainly close to the school of Bellini! It is in the woodcuts prepared for the Italian edition that we see the first evidence of the transition from medieval to modern anatomical illustration. In the 1491 edition, the woodcut of the female viscera ! like those of the Zodiac Man, Bloodletting Man, Wound-Man, etc. ! was derived from the traditional non-representational squatting figure found in medieval medical manuscripts. However, the illustrations for the Italian edition !included an entirely redesigned figure showing female anatomy.!! [Norman].

Recto with the frontispiece, a full page woodcut depicting God the Father seated on a throne, somebody has later defaced his face. On verso the Prologus, 64 lines with text in Latin, with an indent for a large initial. Nuremberg, Anton Koberger, 1493. 43 x 30,6 cm. The sheet is somewhat soiled. The full page woodcut depicts God the Father seated on a throne surrounded by the firmament. Cherubs cavort in the heavens above and two devilish creatures holding armorial crests are at bottom. A banner (in Latin) reads, God said Let there Be and all things were made. The woodblock cutters were Michael Wolgemuth, the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer, and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Dürer's tutor between 1486-90 and recent scholarship has shown, Albrecht Dürer may also have collaborated, since some of the cuts bear a remarkably close resemblance to the Apocalypse illustrations.

SCHEDEL, Hartmann
Liber Chronicarum
      1493. FIRST EDITION. SCHEDEL, Hartmann. Liber Chronicarum. (Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 12 July 1493). Tall folio, late 19th-century full period-style dark brown morocco; ll. [20], [5], CCC (without two blanks only). $150,000. First edition of the extraordinary "Nuremberg Chronicle," the most profusely illustrated book of the 15th century, featuring the first modern map of Europe and Ptolemy's map of the world. With folios CCLVIIII-CCLXI, (often missing) present and properly blank except for headlines and foliation, and with the five unnumbered leaves "De Sarmacia regione Europe" inserted before folio I. Portrait of Pope Joan (folio CLXIX, verso) intact and unmutilated. Handsomely bound in period-style by Riviere. Hartmann Schedel compiled this elaborate history of the world from "the first day of creation" to his own time in an effort to correct what he felt was a slight to German history by other chroniclers. He divided his work into the usual six ages of the history of mankind, adding a seventh in which he foretold the coming of the Antichrist, the destruction of the world, and judgment day. The invention of printing is mentioned on verso of leaf CCLII: "born in Germany! in the city near the Rhine [i.e. Mainz]! in the year 1440"; on verso of leaf CCXC is a brief account (not appearing in the subsequent German edition of the same year) of the "Portuguese voyage of discovery along the coast of Africa in 1483 [1484], under the direction of Diego Cam and Martin Behaim of Nuremberg, which has been used as a basis for the unwarranted theory that the expedition reached America" (Sabin). Leaves CCLVIIII-CCLXI were left blank by Schedel for the owner to record future historical events occurring after publication. The fame of the volume rests on its illustrations. "There are 1809 woodcuts printed from 645 different blocks. They picture the major events of the Old and New Testaments, episodes in the lives of many saints, portraits of prophets, kings, popes, heroes, and great men of all centuries, freaks of nature, and panoramic views of cities. Nuremberg artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff were responsible for the production of the book! The wood blocks were designed by the two masters and their assistants, including the young Albrecht Durer, who was apprenticed to Wolgemut at the time. The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger, whose illustrated books were famous throughout Europe" (Legacies of Genius 5). The unusually detailed woodcuts, many full- and double-page, feature the first modern map of Europe (double-page), Ptolemy's map of the world, and an extraordinary two-page illustration of the destruction of Jerusalem; biblical subjects include Adam and Eve and the building of the ark by Noah; cities include Nineveh, Rome, Nuremberg (showing the first German paper mill), Warsaw, Budapest, Venice, Basle, Paris; historical personages include the Venerable Bede, Wicliff, Boethius, Cato, Dante, St. Augustine, Charlemagne, and St. Catherine; this copy with the portrait of Pope Joan (leaf CLXIX, verso) and the accompanying text intact and unadulterated (the portrait is usually severely defaced). The illustrations in this work represent a landmark in the history of wood-cutting: "The peculiarity of the cuts in the 'Nuremberg Chronicle' is that they generally contain more of what engravers term 'colour' [shading to render form] than any which had previously appeared" (Chatto & Jackson, A Treatise on Wood-Engraving). The "Imago mortis" or Dance of Death, for example, (leaf CCLXIIII) has been described as "one of the most powerful representations of German art" (Stadler, 45). Text in Latin. Without blank leaf after the description of Poland and one blank leaf at the end only. Folio 2, lined in red and rubricated, probably supplied from another copy. Hain-Copinger 14508. Goff S-307. Thacher 121. Sabin 77523. Church 7. BMC II: 437. Old annotations in ink on the title page; similar notes and sketches in the text, ink stains to folios 35v and 36r. Occasional soiling and a few expert margin repairs, generally quite clean. Very handsome period-style Riviere binding lightly rubbed at corners, otherwise fine. Rare and extraordinarily important.

Liber Chronicarum cum figuris et imaginibus ab inicio mundi.
      INCUBABLE LEAF. - Leaf: Folio CCXXXII - sexta etas mundi - Printed recto and verso, with 66 lines, text in Latin. On recto a woodcut of Saint BIRGITTA of VADSTENA (7 x 5,2 cm.), a woodcut view of Vadstena (13,9 x 10,8 cm.) and a woodcut of a man, on verso a woodcut depicting 4 Popes (15,2 x 11,2 cm.). Nuremberg, Anton Koberger, 1493. 43 x 31 cm. Outer margin somewhat damp stained. Birgitta Birgersdotter (1303-73), later known as Saint Birgitta, also known as Santa Brigida or St. Bridgid of Sweden and Birgitta of Vadstena, in Swedish commonly as den heliga Birgitta, was a Mystic and saint, and founder of the Bridgettine Order. Uniquely among saints of the second millennium, she was also the mother of a saint Saint Catherine of Vadstena of Sweden. In 1999 Pope John Paul II named St Bridget as a patron saint of Europe. Her feast is celebrated on July 23, the day of her death. St Bridget's feast was not in the Tridentine Calendar, but was later inserted in the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints in 1623 for celebration on October 7, the day she was canonized by Pope Boniface IX in the year 1391. Five years later, her feast was moved to October 8, where it remained until the revision of the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints in 1969. VADSTENA is a locality and the seat of Vadstena Municipality in Sweden. Vadstena is, for historical reasons, still referred to as a city, it received its city privileges in 1400. Above all the city of Vadstena is noted for two important artefacts of Swedish history: it was in Vadstena, in 1350, that Saint Bridget of Sweden founded the first monastery of her Bridgettine Order; and Vadstena Castle is one of Sweden's best-preserved castles from the era of Gustav Vasa in the 16th century.

Paracelsus im Gedicht. Theophrastus von Hohenheim in der Poesie des 16. bis 21. Jahrhunderts.
      Hürtgenwald: Pressler Vlg. 2008. - 377 S., 29 schw.-w. u. 1 farb. Abb. Ln. *neuwertig*.Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, genannt Paracelsus (1493-1541), kommt oft wie ein Proteus redivivus daher, mal als Arzt, dann als Naturphilosoph oder Theologe, dann wieder als Magier, Neuplatoniker oder Kabbalist. In der Vergangenheit hat mancher Scheingelehrter in den Paracelsischen Schriften und Pseudoparacelsica zu pfiffig geforscht, ausgetauscht, in törichter Klügelei Resultate gesichert, die vom Inhalt der Originaltexte weit entfernt sind. Eine dümpelnde Paracelsusphilologie der Moderne schuf wenig Abhilfe: Die Paracelsusforschung beruht noch immer auf editorisch morschen Fundamenten zahlreiche Paracelsica sind nur in unzulänglichen Abdrucken zugänglich, ja noch manche Theologica warten auf ihre Erstherausgeber.Joachim Telles Überlegung und Wagnis, den Parcelsusbildern in der internationalen Poesie nachzuforschen, reicht in die 1970er Jahre zurück. Die nun vorliegende Anthologie enthält etwa 130 Texte von über hundert Autoren, setzt mit Zeugnissen aus dem 16. Jahrhundert ein und endet mit Dichtungen aus dem Jahr 2005. Für die Anzahl der in Paracelsus im Gedicht versammelten Texte gibt es im Schrifttum über Paracelsus ebensowenig Vorgänger wie für die Darbietungsweise: Im Unterschied zu fast allen im Rahmen der Paracelsusuntersuchungen seit dem 19. Jahrhundert erfolgten Abdrucken bestimmter Gedichte wurde darauf gezielt, die Texte mit ihren oftmals verschiedenen Vorlagen und Überlieferungen nach historisch-kritischen Gesichtspunkten zu edieren und ihnen, wo erforderlich, deutsche (Neu-)Übersetzungen beizugeben. Souverän werden die paracelsuskundlich bedeutsamen Eigenarten der Gedichte in einem umfangreichen Anmerkungsapparat erläutert. Mit dem Namen "Paracelsus" wird für Schnaps, Bier, Magenbittter, Windtropfen geworben, Schulen sind nach ihm benannt, eine Medaille für hervorragende Ärzte, ein Schnellzug, Straßen, Plätze, Ringe und Wege und natürlich zahlreiche Apotheken. Sein Schicksal vollzog sich zu seiner Zeit zwischen Ächtung und Achtung. Wer sich mit den Texten der Anthologie beschäftigt, dürfte viel erfahren und den Einblick bis in den Kern einer Theorie der Medizin als nie mehr erreichte Einheit von "philosophia", "astronomia", "alchimia" und "virtus" gewinnen.

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.

He was among the first to question strongly the validity of Artitotle's condemnation of usuary, he explicitly denounced price controls, defended money-changing and usury, was the first economic thinker to state clearly and unequivocally that government price-fixing is a mistake and was an early expositor of the Quantity Theory of Money - he studied at Toulouse almost simultaneously with Jean Bodin.

Iosephus, Flavius (ca. 37 - ca. 100 d. C.).
[La Guerra giudaica].
      Firenze, Bartolomeo de’ Libri, 6 luglio 1493. "In-folio (mm 323x210). Segnatura: [*2], a-z8, &8, cum8, rum6. 208 carte non numerate di cui la prima bianca. Testo su una colonna di 40 linee. Carattere 114R2. Insolita legatura italiana databile tra la fine del XVII e l’inizio del XVIII secolo. I piatti, circondati da una cornice in pelle delimitata da una semplice rotella in oro, sono ricavati da una precedente manifattura e sono realizzati con tecnica ‘alla mècca’. Tale tecnica, in uso fin dal XVI secolo per molteplici utilizzi, consiste in una verniciatura trasparente, a base di lacca, di tonalità aurea, usata per velare intagli lignei o fondi di pitture precedentemente argentati. Dorso rifatto nel Novecento con titolo in oro; sguardie in carta marmorizzata. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione; fioriture in tutto il volume. Prima dell’inizio dell’opera due carte bianche contenenti una tabula manoscritta in inchiostro rosso e di mano cinquecentesca. Numerose postille della stessa mano lungo i margini. Al contropiatto anteriore ex-libris inciso del collezionista inglese Edward Cheney (1803-1884). Al verso del foglio di guardia anteriore sono state applicate due descrizioni del volume tratte da due antichi cataloghi. Prima rara edizione italiana - in una traduzione anonima - di questo classico della storiografia di età imperiale, la Guerra giudaica, redatta dallo scrittore romano di origini ebraiche Flavio Giuseppe che godette il favore della corte dei Flavî. Nell’opera - divisa in sette libri e redatta originariamente in greco - viene narrata la storia ebraica da Erode il Grande fino alla distruzione di Gerusalemme, da un punto di vista molto parziale che addossa la colpa della guerra soprattutto ai fanatici zeloti. L’opera di Flavio Giuseppe ebbe grande fortuna, specialmente in età cristiana, ed ebbe frequenti traduzioni e rielaborazioni. La prima edizione del testo greco verrà stampata solo nel 1544 a Basilea da Johann Froben. First very rare Italian edition - in an anonymous translation - of the most famous work by Flavius Josephus. The War of the Jews, divided into seven books, was originally written in Greek by the author and recounts the Jewish revolt against Rome (66–70 AD). Good copy, some foxing throughout and an insignificant worming toward end not affecting the text. Unusual 17th-18th century Italian binding ‘alla mecca’; rebacked in the 20th century with red morocco. Manuscript table of contents in a 15th century hand and contemporary marginalia by the same hand throughout. Bookplate of the collector Edward Cheney, who assembled notable art and book collections during an extended residence in Italy. HC 9460; Goff J, 490; IGI 5391; BMC VI, 649."

Small 4to.. First ten leaves rubricated with initials colored or supplied in red ink; decorated initials. Thomas ! Kempis, Author (there is a long history of the dispute over the authorship but Thomas remains the most likely) of the "Imitation of Christ", born at Kempen in the Diocese of Cologne, in 1379 or 1380; died 25 July, 1471.#11;The "Imitation of Christ is "a work of spiritual devotion, also sometimes called the "Following of Christ". Its purpose is to instruct the soul in Christian perfection with Christ as the Divine Model. It consists of a series of counsels of perfection written in Latin in a familiar and even colloquial style, and is divided into four parts or books:#11;#11; 1. Useful admonitions for a spiritual life,#11; 2. Admonitions concerning spiritual things;#11; 3. Of interior consolation;#11; 4. Of the Blessed Sacrament.#11;#11;With the exception of the Bible, it is perhaps the most widely read spiritual book in the world. " [Catholic Ency.]"Imitation of Christ is a writing of the mysticist German-Dutch school of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and is widely considered one of the greatest manuals of devotion in Christianity. Protestants and Roman Catholics alike join in giving it praise. The Jesuits give it an official place among their "exercises". John Wesley and John Newton listed it among the works that influenced them at their conversion. General Gordon carried it with him to the battlefield" [Wkpd]#11;German translations first appeared in 1486; this is the third. They are all scarce as the book was widely read.

[MAXIMILIAN I]
Contra falsas Francorum litteras pro defensione honoris serenissimi Romanorum Regis
      Erhard Ratdolt olio [33 x 22.5 cm], (6) ff. of which two bear signatures, Gothic type, ca. 50 lines per page. With 2 woodcut initials. In cloth case. 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. Copies in American libraries are: Augsburg, Anton Sorg (Huntington)Augsburg, Erhard Ratdot (Penn, Yale)Rome, Eucharius Silber (Yale)*Hain/Copinger 10931*; Goff M 388; GW M22132; Proctor 1896; BMC II 386; BSB-Ink C-533.

The Omeasure of originalityO in this work was, at one level nil, for the book consisted entirely of ThomasOs compilation of quotations from patristic and other sources in explanation of the text of the four Gospels. But there was a significant element of originality nevertheless; for those patristic sources extended beyond the customary dependence on Augustine and other Latin fathers to include newly available witings of the Greek church fathers, who were assuming a new importance because of the efforts connected with the upcoming Council of Lyons in 1274 to repair the schism between East and West.O [J.

Schedel, Hartmann, (1440-1514)
"Secunda etas mundi" (Ptolemaic world map) from Liber chronicarum
      Nuremberg, 1493 THE CORNERSTONE WORLD MAP, WITH OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL HAND-COLOR FROM THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE, ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE BOOKS IN THE EARLY HISTORY OF PRINTING. Woodcut with original hand color: 171/2" x 231/2" References: Lloyd Arnold Brown, The World Encompassed, exh. cat. (Baltimore, 1952), n. 44; Rodney W. Shirley, The Mapping of the World (London, 1983), n. 19. Hartmann Schedel's 1493 Liber chronicarum is known more commonly as the Nuremberg Chronicle. Schedel's map was based on the cartographic system of Claudius Ptolemy, the great second-century AD geographer whose scholarship formed the foundation for map production in the fifteenth century. Schedel's world map is a robust woodcut inspired by the Ptolemaic system but without great attention to geometric detail. Its configuration is ostensibly based on Ptolemy's second projection but simplified for a popular audience, without the scientific apparatus of latitudes, longitudes, scales and extensive nomenclature. The attention to decorative detail is another story, for here the map provides a window onto the late medieval imagination. The border contains twelve dour wind-heads, while the map is supported in three of its corners by the solemn figures of Ham, Shem and Japhet taken from the Old Testament. Most remarkable are the panels representing the outlandish creatures and beings that were thought to inhabit the furthermost parts of the earth. There are seven such scenes to the left of the map and a further fourteen on its reverse. Pliny, Pomponius Mela, Solinus and Herodotus's Fables were the sources for many of these mythological creatures; others were doubtless the fruit of medieval travelers' tales. Among the scenes are a six-armed man, a centaur, a four-eyed man from a coastal tribe in Ethiopia, a dog-headed man from the Simien Mountains, a cyclops, a man with a single giant foot (stated by Solinus to be used as a parasol but more likely a symptom of elephantitis), a man with a huge lower lip, a man with ears hanging down to his waist, and other frightening and fanciful creatures from beyond the pale..

Hartmann Schedel - Liber Chronicarum.
      - Reprint der Ausgabe A. Koberger, Nürnberg 1493. Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514) war Nürnberger Stadtphysikus und ein bekannter Humanist. Sein »Liber Chronicarum«, das umfangreichste und künstlerisch bedeutsamste Holzschnittwerk des 15. Jh's. (wahrscheinlich hat auch Wolgemuts Schüler Albrecht Dürer daran mitgearbeitet), enthält eine Übersicht der Weltgeschichte nach den Ansichten der christlichen Humanisten des 15. Jh's. und ist damit eine bedeutende Quelle zur Kulturgeschichte. Die Schedelsche Weltchronik gilt als das größte Buchunternehmen der Dürerzeit und auch als das bilderreichste Werk der Frühdruckzeit im Abendland. Obwohl die Schedelsche Weltchronik in verhältnismäßig hohen Auflagen erschienen ist, sind beinahe alle erhaltenen Exemplare unvollständig. Für die vorliegende, hochwertig produzierte Faksimile-Edition standen die Originale aus den Klöstern in Melk und Metten zur Verfügung. Da nur eine geringe Anzahl dieses wertvollen Werkes verfügbar sind, empfehlen wir rasches Bestellen! 33 x 44 cm, 636 S., 1800 Holzschnitte von Michael Wolgemut (1434-1519) und Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, preiswerte und qualitativ hochwertige Studienausgabe im Originalformat in Halbleder, [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Le De reformatione de Zerbolt (Hain, 16292), un exemplaire de l'edition Amerbach (edition originale), 1492 a la bibliotheque Sainte Genevieve. Un seul exemplaire de l'edition de 1493 en Ecosse a Aberdeen , les catalogues anglais detiennent plusieurs exemplaires a la date de 1492. !Plein Veau marbre milieu XIXe. Dos lisse a caissons ornes.

Un manque de cuir de1cm sur 2cm sur le premier plat. Decoupe en pieds du premier titre De virium... !Le De reformatione virium animae de Gerard Zerbolt de Zutphen (Gerardus de Zutphania) a ete traduit recemment par Francis Joseph Legrand en 2001. 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.

[NUREMBERG CHRONICLE]. SCHEDEL, Hartmann
Liber chronicarum
      Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 12 July, 1493. Nuremberg: Anton Koberger, 12 July, 1493. Folio (16 x 11 inches). 327 RUBRICATED leaves (including leaves CCLIX-CCLXI blank, except for foliation and headline, of 328, lacking last blank leaf), 63 lines plus headline, Gothic letter, rubricated capitals, xylographic title-page (small repairs to verso), 645 woodcut illustrations by Pleydenwurff and Wohlgemut repeated to a total of 1809, some full-page, others double-page, double page map of the world (Shirley 19) and double-page map of Europe, 5 leaves of "De Sarmacia" bound after folio [CCCII, blank] (top corners renewed to folios CCLXII-end with occasional loss to text, top edges close cropped with occasional loss to headline and foliation, some heavy dampstaining, a few marginal tear crossing the image at folio LXXXVI, map of Florence, lacking the final blank). 16th-century German pigskin over boards, covers decorated with panels of blind roll tools and the supra libros of Sebastian Freitog, brass catches and clasps (a bit rubbed and soiled, lacking central brass bosses and cornerpieces). Provenance: Supra libros of Sebastian Freitog dated 1581, and ownership inscription on the verso of the title-page dated Lucca Abbey, 1575; inscription of Lucca Convent library on first page of text; early library inscription at the head of the title-page partially obscured; 18th-century penciled ownership inscription at the foot of the title-page partially erased. First edition, a German translation was published in December of the same year. The Nuremberg Chronicle is the most widely known, most lavishly illustrated and extensively documented early printed book. It is a history of the known world from the dawn of creation to the date of publication: "in this respect, the Chronicle would appear, at first glance, to follow in the tradition of a conventional structure of human history within the framework of the Bible, in analogy to the six days of creation! A brief Seventh Age follows, reporting the coming of the Antichrist at the end of the world and predicting the Last Judgement. This is followed, somewhat unsystematically, by descriptions of various towns ! This narrative pattern conforms with that of the medieval "universal chronicles" written in Latin, as well as with vernacular chronicles. In the known Middle High German chronicles of the world, too, historical events are interwoven with digressions on the subject of natural catastrophes, wars, reports of the founding of cities, etc. Events occurring in other parts of the world are inserted parallel to the biblical stories! Hartmann Schedel chose to place particular emphasis on describing the most important cities of Germany and the Western world! In many cases, we find in the Chronicle the first known illustrations of the cities in question, along with the story of their foundation, the etymology of their names and a painstaking list of facts about the cultural life, economy and trades flourishing there in the period around 1490" (Stephen Fussel, "Introduction" to Taschen edition). Goff S-307; Hain-Cop 14508\*; Klebs 889.1; Oates 1026; Proctor 2084; BMC II, 437. Purchased for $23,000 at Sotheby's 4th December 1996, lot 181.

Breviarium Novi II (1495) Facsimile edition
This second Novi Breviary is a large codex of 500 folios.
      - The greater part of it was transcribed by Priest Martinac from the district of Lapac in Grobnic, one of the free medieval Vinodol communes. In his colophons he mentions 1493, 1494 and 1495 as the years in which the codex was written and finished. It was inscribed for the Pauline monastery and the Church of St. Mary on Osap, a little hill outside the walls of Novi Vinodol. The Pauline monks in the glagolitic areas celebrated the Old Slav services from glagolitic liturgical books. The script, particularly that of Priest Martinac is neat and legible liturgical script in square Croatian glagolitic as was use in the 14 and 15 centuries. In language the codex is the Croation redaction of Church Slav. The texts date from the 10th to the 15th centuries, and old and new linguistic elements are intermixed. The breviary retains entire the breviary of the Roman Curia distinguished by lessons of considerable length and detailed descriptions of the offices in the rubrics. 1. Proprium de tempore (fol. 1-267d) 2. Calendar (fol. 268-275) 3. Psalterium (fol. 276a-322c) 4. Officium defunctorum (fol. 322c-324c) 5. Commune Sanctorum (fol. 324c-355c) 6. Officium "de Beata" (fol. 356a-359c) 7. Proprium sanctorum (fol. 382a-500d) All the components of this codex: language, script, illuminations, and text are characterised by a mixture of older forms and newer innovations. They present a wide field of interest to scholars in linguistics, and philology, and to librarians, liturgists, musicologists and historians of art. In order to facilitate reading and orientations a glagolitic alphabet has been provided, a list of the most frequent abbreviations of contents.
