Thomas A'Kempis.
   
[Ein ware Nachvolgung Cristi] Imitatio Christi.
      Augsburg: [Hans Schobser,] 1493, Dec.9th. Small 4to. [*6],a-v8,w8,x4. [Lacks *1&2 (including t.p.with woodcut); a1,a8.b1,b8,c1,c8.d1,d8.] 168 [of 178]ff. Modern antique style morocco, elaborately blind-tooled, spine double-bandedd, minor rubbing;occ. foxing and finger-soiling; last leaf cut and mounted (no losses); first six leaves have a wormtrack (some letters touched), some light damptains l8-n1;with slipcase. First ten leaves rubricated with initials colored or supplied in red ink; decorated initials. Thomas à 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. 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: 1. Useful admonitions for a spiritual life, 2. Admonitions concerning spiritual things; 3. Of interior consolation; 4. Of the Blessed Sacrament. 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] German translations first appeared in 1486; this is the third. They are all scarce as the book was widely read.

ZUTPHEN Gerard Zerbolt Von/BERNARD Saint
   
Liber meditationum [Ensemble] De reformatione virium animae.
      per Georgiu Mitelh[us]., [Per]isi[us] 1493, in 8 (9x13cm) 60f. Sig. a-g8. h4. (27 lignes par pages) et 32f. Sig. a-d8. (27 lignes par page)., relié. Rare édition incunable minuscule. Les éditions minuscules du XVe sont rarissimes, étant donné qu'elles exigeaient un savoir faire particulier, la quasi totalité des incunables étant in Folio , donnée normale si on considère qu'il est plus aisé de fondre des caractères d'imprimerie pour un format in Folio qu'un tout petit format. Autre édition du Meditationum à Venise, 1492, in 8 de 32f. (27 lignes par pages), Bernardinus Bernalius. (British Library) , une autre à Bâle, Amerbach (notre édition semble être la reproduction fidèle des éditions Amerbach), même collation. 1492. (British Library). Notre édition de 1493 est également détenu par la British Library. Nous n'avons rien trouvé dans les catalogues électroniques de la BN de France et dans les catalogues français. Le texte semble avoir été édité pour la première fois sous son premier titre Meditationes de interiori homine, par Anton Sorg, 1475. Le De reformatione de Zerbolt (Hain, 16292), un exemplaire de l'édition Amerbach (édition originale), 1492 à la bibliothèque Sainte Geneviève. Un seul exemplaire de l'édition de 1493 en Ecosse à Aberdeen , les catalogues anglais détiennent plusieurs exemplaires à la date de 1492.§Plein Veau marbré milieu XIXe. Dos lisse à caissons ornés. Filets d'encadrement sur les plats. (Reliure étrangère, anglaise ou allemande). Un accroc avec manque au mors inférieur. Frottements. Coins émoussés. Un manque de cuir de1cm sur 2cm sur le premier plat. Découpe en pieds du premier titre De virium...§Le de reformatione virium animae de Gerard Zerbolt de Zutphen (Gerardus de Zutphania) a été traduit récemment par Francis Joseph Legrand en 2001. Manuel de la réforme intérieure. L'ouvrage de Zerbolt est un traité mystique de la voie vers la spiritualité. A partie d'une parabole du bon samaritain « l'homme descendait de Jerusalem à Jericho », Zerbolt articule l'ensemble de sa pensée. L'homme déchoit en quittant la cité de l'harmonie, sa voie est de revenir, par un cheminement intérieur qui s'exercera par la réforme des trois puissances qui gouvernent l'esprit (la mémoire, l'entendement et la volonté) à la cité spirituelle. Ce traité, un des ouvrages de la Devotio Moderna (mouvement de réforme de la spiritualité contre la scolastique), sera un bréviaire pour les Frères de la vie commune de Deventer, où Gérard Zerbolt avait une responsabilité que nous n'avons pu définir , c'est en ce lieu que Thomas a Kempis devint son élève. Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471) a écrit une biographie de Gerard von Zerbolt (1367-1398) , son ouvrage maître, L'imitation de Jésus Christ, est sans doute le livre symbole de cette Devotio Moderna.§Le véritable titre de Liber meditationum attribué à Saint Bernard de Clairvaux (1090-1153) est Meditationes de interiori homine. Le traité est habituellement rangé dans ses oeuvres, mais avec la mention, auteur incertain. Il y a une parenté évidente entre les traités de Zerbolt et de Bernard, ils portent tous les deux sur le même sujet et ont été écrits par des moines pour servir la vie spirituelle et monastique , ils ont chacun en leur temps révolutionné la vie spirituelle et chrétienne.§Les deux ouvrages tendaient naturellement à être réunis, mais ils ont bien été édités séparément (ce que confirme les catalogues de bibliothèques puisqu'on les trouve toujours séparés), même si on trouve un an plus tôt en 1492, les deux mêmes éditions chez Amerbach. C'était une politique et une entreprise éditoriale que d'éditer pareillement des ouvrages qui étaient voisins non seulement par leur sujet, mais aussi par leur format ou autre caractéristique.§Suit un manuscrit de 20 feuillets intitulé : Abrégé de toute la vie spirituelle, réduite à ce seul point de la volonté de Dieu [...], selon toute probabilité de L. Boulet, dont on trouve le nom et une date, 1865, au verso du titre du premier livre.

AUGUSTINUS, Saint (354-430).
   
Sermones sancti ad heremitas
      [printer of 'Casus breves' (Georg Husner)] [about 1493-94], Strassburg Recent full calf in an appropriate antique style Small 4to . Scarce incunabular edition of this collection of sermons attributed to St. Augustine (354-430). The present work is grouped by the British Museum catalogue with other anonymously published works from Strassburg during 1493 -1494 now attributed to Georg Husner "who became a citizen of Strassburg by marriage in 1470, put his name (with that of Beckenhug) to one printed book in 1473, and (without Beckenhub) to two in 1476. . There was enough anonymous printing done at Strassburg to keep several presses busy, . The isolated differences between the tree types used in 1493 and 1494 in the books here grouped to follow the anonymous edition of the Casus breues Decretalium are only of the kind which would naturally occur by replacements in the course of several years . " (BMC I, p. 159). A very handsome copy with contemporary rubrications through the first half of the work [108] leaves, 34 lines & headline, gothic type, 2 columns, initials supplied in red in first half, red capital strokes in first half with capitol spaces and guide letters in latter half. Title and last blank page a little dusty. Some minor foxing. § GW 3006 (pseudo- Augustinus); HC 1998*; BMC I, 161; Goff A1318; Proctor 724;.

LIBER CHRONICARUM Leaf CCLVIII (Colophon Leaf of Sextas Etas Mundi and Including Stylized Initials of Schedel). Nuremberg Chronicle.
      Anton Koberger for Sebaldi Schreyer and Sebastiani Kamermaister, Nuremberg 1493 Very desirable leaf from the first Latin edition of the Nuremberg Chronicle. This is the leaf numbered CCLVIII. On verso side of the leaf are the date of 1493 and the large initials of H A S D for Hartmann Schedel, the creator of this classic incunabula book. This page ended the sixth section of the Chronicle, which was completed in June of 1493. The date 1493 is written out in Latin on the page as "Anno ab incarnatione salvatoris xpi Millesimo quadringentesimo nonagesimo tercio." An unusual opportunity for the collector of these Nuremberg leaves to obtain a dated page from the Chronicle. Underneath the highly stylized initials for Schedel that follow the date is printed the statement that the following three pages are to be left blank, which was indeed the case with the first edition. The final seventh section and the final colophon dated in July of 1493 were then added to complete the work. This preliminary colophon page of June, 1493 is in nice collector condition. Left edge of page archivally reinforced. Very short closed tear in upper blank margin not affecting anything. A bit of old soiling affecting a few letters of recto side. Verso quite clean with just some old light brownish age stains at bottom blank margin (mostly). The age stains not unsightly and they are not foxing. At upper left of recto of leaf, under the page number, is an illustration portrait of Maximilian I standing, holding cruficer and short staff. A handsome rendition of this great Holy Roman Emperor, which was decided on as a last minute addition to the Chronicle. It is estimated that perhaps three to four hundred copies of the Nuremberg Chronicle remain in existence in the first Latin edition of 1493. Many are safely tucked away in institutions and are of course complete volumes. Other complete or mostly complete volumes can be found here and there in the marketplace, highly priced. Some volumes have been broken up over time and the leafs sold individually. Since there are close to 300 leaves in the entire work, many leaves are available in the marketplace (although that may not always be the case). But obviously it can be quite a challenge to find one particular leaf at any given time, such as this very important dated leaf with the initials of Schedel. In other words, this is a scarce example of one of the more desirable leaves in the Chronicle.

PAULUS (Apostle).
   
Epistolae & epistolae canonicae. Title: Epistolarum beati pauli apostoli praevia annotatio. Ad Romanos epistola i. Ad chorinthios epistole ii ... Epistolarum canonicarum annotatio Jacobi apostoli epistola i. Petri apostoli epistola ii ...
      Rare incunable printed at Zwolle: only one copy recorded! (Zwolle, Peter van Os van Breda, between 26 March 1493 and 1 December 1496). Sm. 4to. Modern vellum, spine with title lettered in gold. With half-page woodcut on title (97 x 117mm) with St. Paul seated on a throne with a sword in his right hand, handing over a document to a kneeling herald with a city in the background. (52) lvs. (collation: (A)-H8.4, I4). Rare incunable edition of the 14 epistles of St. Paul, including the arguments and prologues: only five copies of this edition are known, of which only one in the Netherlands: an incomplete copy in the Royal Library!). The text is edited by St. Hieronymus, with some other canonical letters added. They are all listed on the title in two columns, arranged under the two main titles which are printed over the whole line. The epistles of St. Paul were addressed to the Romans, Corinthians (2), Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians (2), Timothy (2), Titus, Philemon and Hebrews; the canonical letters include letters by the apostles James (1), Peter (2), John (3), and Jude (1). The text itself had been already printed by Pafraet in Deventer in January and May 1491 (ILC 1703 and 1704 respectively).The interesting large woodcut on title shows St Paul seated on a throne holding a sword in his right hand, and handing over a document (bundle of letters) to a kneeling herald with a view of a walled city in the background, where the herald is again visible on horseback, apparently delivering the letters. It is the first and only time that this woodcut appears in an incunable edition!The book is printed in a small lettre bâtarde, with a large type for the titles, and a still larger one for the headings, the types 6, 8 and 9 respectively of by far the most important and prolific printer at Zwolle, Peter van Os van Breda (= Type 8A, 9A: resp. 99G and 71G), with 42 lines to a page and the initials left blank. The present copy is one of the three copies mentioned by Ms. Kronenberg as the Bosanquet copy (sold after the death of Bosanquet in 1944) and the only one still in trade. Fine copy, with contemporary ownership's entry on the title: 'Iste liber pertinet ad me Johannes Tomson presbyterum'; the bookplate of E.F.

[Ein Ware Nachvolgung Cristi] Imitatio Christi
      [Hans Schobser, ], 1493, Dec.9th. Small 4to. [*6], a-v8, w8, x4. [Lacks *1&2 (including t.p. with woodcut); a1, a8. b1, b8, c1, c8. d1, d8. ] 168 [of 178]ff. Modern antique style morocco, elaborately blind-tooled, spine double-bandedd, minor rubbing; occ. foxing and finger-soiling; last leaf cut and mounted (no losses); first six leaves have a wormtrack (some letters touched), some light damptains l8-n1; with slipcase. First ten leaves rubricated with initials colored or supplied in red ink; decorated initials. Thomas à 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. 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: 1. Useful admonitions for a spiritual life, 2. Admonitions concerning spiritual things; 3. Of interior consolation; 4. Of the Blessed Sacrament. 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] German translations first appeared in 1486; this is the third. They are all scarce as the book was widely read.

Una macchia interessa 5 carte interne, al terzo libro; con lettera capitale a tempera azzurra danneggiata; una lieve ombreggiatura all'angolo bianco basso di alcune carte interne, altrimenti esemplare bellissimo, nitido e a grandi margini di questo capolavoro tipografico. Incunabolo celeberrimo per la storia di Italia e di Firenze, dalle origini al 1401, scritta dal grande umanista aretino Leonardo Bruni. Contiene, tra l'altro, le piu antiche notazione biografiche su Dante Alighieri.
