JUSTINIAN, Emperor of the East
Digestum novum
|
Bernardinus Stagninus de Tridino Venice 1494 Modern half vellum Folio . Rare edition of the "CorpusJuris Civilis"; not in American libraries, the BMC, Italy, etc. Includes the Glossa Ordinaria by Accursius Florentinus and the Summaria by Bartolus de Saxoferrato and Paulus de Castro with enlargements by Hieronymus Clarius (?). The volume, part of which has been subject to some expert repairs, and although some text has been affected it is a complete copy as well as an impressive, and monumental (16 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches) piece of printing; printed in red and black throughout. "The most enduring work of Justinian was his codification of the laws. ... The great empire he was reconquering must have the strength of organized unity. He says in the edict of promulgation of his laws that a state rests on arms and law ("De Justin. Cod. Confirmando", printed in front of the codex). The scattered decrees of his predecessors must then be collected in a well-ordered and complete codex, logically arranged, so that every Roman citizen could learn at once the law of the empire on any subject. This codification was Justinian's great work. He made many new laws himself, but his enduring merit is rather the classification of scattered older laws. ... So the immortal "Corpus Juris Civilis" was produced, consisting of four parts: (a) Digestae seu Pondecta, (b) Institutiones, (c) Codex, (d) Authenticum seu Novellae (an excellent account of its composition is found in Bury's Gibbon, ed. Cit., IV 461-510). It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of this "Corpus". It is the basis of all canon law (ecclesia vivit lege romana), and the basis of civil law in every civilized country" (Catholic Enc.; New Advent) 308 (of 310 leaves; lacking the last 2 blank leaves). Title printed in red; printed in red and black throughout; gothic type; double column; 70 to 82 lines; woodcut printer's device (Husung 214) printed in red at the end. Extensive expert repairs to the first two leaves which only affect a few letters; about a dozen leaves in the first part of the volume have a brownish coffee color stain (occasionally large but not affecting the legibility of the text); from leaf 147 to the end of the volume at the top inner margin a small round hole has been repaired with some loss of text; mildew stain in blank margins towards the end of the volume (stabilized); blank corner margins of last two leaves repaired (affect a few words on last leaf); few neat tear repairs. § Hain 9592; GKW 7718 (only 22 copies located); BSB C-592

Bachiacca.: Artist of the Medici Court.

Leo S. Olschki, Firenze 2008 - Fondazione Carlo Marchi - Studi Volume: 24.00.00 cm. 22,5 x 30, xii-462 pp. con 144 tavv. f.t. di cui 64 a colori. Rilegato (Hardcover). English Text. abstract: Francesco dUbertino Verdi (1494-1557), detto Bachiacca, produsse per la corte medicea opere darte sfarzose che combinavano la creatività figurativa italiana con lo stile paesaggistico nordeuropeo. Questo ampio studio affronta i vari generi dellopera di Bachiacca e dimostra che, al contrario di quanto sostenuto dalla storiografia darte, fu un gusto cosmopolita e non solo unambizione nazionalista ad ispirare la cultura pittorica del 500. Il volume include un catalogo ed unappendice documentaria. Francesco dUbertino Verdi (1494-1557), nicknamed Bachiacca, provided the Medici court and privileged Florentine patrons with opulent works of art that combined the figural inventiveness of Italian artists with lush northern European landscapes. This comprehensive study of Bachiaccas work in all media explicates the artists distinctive, hybrid style and demonstrates that cosmopolitan tastes, not nationalist narratives, inspired the vibrant pictorial culture of Renaissance Florence. It includes a catalog and documentary appendices. abstract: Francesco dUbertino Verdi (1494-1557), nicknamed Bachiacca, provided the Medici court and privileged Florentine patrons with opulent works of art that combined the figural inventiveness of Italian artists with lush northern European landscapes.

Versor, Johannes
Questiones magistri Johannis versoris super metaphisicam Arestotelis cu[m] textu eiusdem
|
[Cologne: Heinrich Quentell, not after 1 November 1494]. Folio, 10.25 x 7.5 inches. Second edition. a-i6, k4, l-v6. 118 leaves. The first few leaves require marginal paper repairs. The binding is seventeenth century Italian parchment. The title is inscribed with some verses from OvidOs Tristia. . OIn the arts faculty the Aristotelian commentaries of Johannes Versor, especially on the Metaphysics, written in Paris in the mid-fifteenth century, [provided an up-to-date textbook version of AristotleOs work] summarizing AristotleOs teaching on the natural world from a Thomist perspective. [E] Later theologians, such as the Heidelberg professor Johannes Wenck, the opponent of Nicholas of Cusa, and Johannes Versor in mid-century Paris, would fall back on the Thomist idea that human knowledge was grounded in sense-perception, and permitted some degree of knowledge of God, or natural theology; but they would reach their position in full awareness of the alternative solutions to the problem of essence and existence, and of the relation of possible to actual worlds. Underlying the more or less unsatisfactory solutions to these problems posed in the century from 1350 to 1450 was a slow change in the conceptus entis, the concept of ObeingO itself. Scotus had adumbrated a more dynamic notion of ObeingO by grounding it in the causal principle of the divine will: God impart to creation a vestige of his own creativity and freedom. A notion of OensO which embraced both creator and creation must imply some hierarchy or scale of Obeing,O which in turn opened the possibility of applying to it the measure of language of intention and remission developed in the course of the century by Thomas Bradwardine, Nicolas Oresme and others to describe variations of heat, velocity and other qualities.O (Quoted from Hebrew Bible Old Testament, by Magne Saebo.) For more on Versor see the Cambridge History of Renaissance Philosophy. #11;

With woodcut title page with xylographic initial [Macfarlane LXII] with calligraphic flourishes & grotesque faces & 19 woodcuts (6 repeats) [Macfarlane XXVIII & XXIX]; numerous white on black, black lombard and other woodcut initials with calligraphic flourishes and grotesques. The great Vulgate Prose Lancelot was written in the thirteenth century and expanded on Chretien de Troyes' version of the Arthurian tale. It tells of Lancelot's boyhood, his adventurous growth to manhood, his enrapture with Guenevere and his meeting with the Lady of the Lake. It continues with his search for the Grail and his eventual learning that only his son Galahad could complete his quest. The Morte D'Arthur appears did not appear until the third volume printed by Verard in 1502. “ Anthoine Vérard dominated French book production in Paris from 1485 to 1512, a critical period in the shift from manuscript to print. Although he defined himself invariably as a “ humble bookseller, ” this modest epithet belies the gargantuan scale of his enterprise, for during his career he issued more than 300 editions. Even more remarkable than their sheer number, however, is their visual splendor, for Vérard was the “ father of the French illustrated book. ” [Mary Beth Winn, Verard. ]

Zaragoza, Paul Hurus, 24. Oktober 1494.. Zweispaltiges, 42-zeiliges O-Inkunabelblatt auf festem sauberen Papier mit der Signatur 'g II'. Blatt mit einem Holzschnitt (11,6 x 8,2 cm), umgeben von Holzschnittrandleisten und einer 4-zeiligen Holzschnittinitiale "L". Blattgröße: 18,3 x 26,3 cm. Incunabula text woodcut leaf.. Das Gesamtwerk umfasst 76 Holzschnitte, die aus der sehr seltenen Augsburger Ausgabe von Anton Sorg aus dem Jahr 1479 stammen. Am 22. Oktober 1476 ist Paulus de Constantia (Paul Hurus, auch Hürus oder Hyrus) bereits als Drucker in Barcelona notariell erfasst, in dem er dort mit seinem Kollegen Heinrich Botel die erste in der Druckgeschichte bekannte Subscription protokollieren ließ. Um 1480 baute Paul Hurus seine Druckerei in Zaragoza aus, sodass sie mit ihren Produktionen an der Spitze aller spanischen Offizinen des 15. Jahrhundets stand. In Zusammenarbeit mit spanischen Gelehrten u. Übersetzern gelang es ihm zahlreiche literarisch bedeutsame Werke im Erstdruck herauszubringen. Kein deutscher in Spanien tätiger Inkunabeldrucker hatte so enge Beziehungen zu seiner Heimat, wie Paul Hurus. Mehrfach reiste er nach Süddeutschland. Nach seinem letzten Druck im Jahre 1499 kehrte er in seine Vaterstadt Konstanz zurück und wurde 1505 in den Rat der Stadt gewählt (Geldner, 1970, II, 273ff).

JUSTINIAN, Emperor of the East
Digestum novum
|
Bernardinus Stagninus de Tridino Venice 1494 Modern half vellum Folio . Rare edition of the "CorpusJuris Civilis"; not in American libraries, the BMC, Italy, etc. Includes the Glossa Ordinaria by Accursius Florentinus and the Summaria by Bartolus de Saxoferrato and Paulus de Castro with enlargements by Hieronymus Clarius (?). The volume, part of which has been subject to some expert repairs, and although some text has been affected it is a complete copy as well as an impressive, and monumental (16 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches) piece of printing; printed in red and black throughout. "The most enduring work of Justinian was his codification of the laws. ... The great empire he was reconquering must have the strength of organized unity. He says in the edict of promulgation of his laws that a state rests on arms and law ("De Justin. Cod. Confirmando", printed in front of the codex). The scattered decrees of his predecessors must then be collected in a well-ordered and complete codex, logically arranged, so that every Roman citizen could learn at once the law of the empire on any subject. This codification was Justinian's great work. He made many new laws himself, but his enduring merit is rather the classification of scattered older laws. ... So the immortal "Corpus Juris Civilis" was produced, consisting of four parts: (a) Digestae seu Pondecta, (b) Institutiones, (c) Codex, (d) Authenticum seu Novellae (an excellent account of its composition is found in Bury's Gibbon, ed. Cit., IV 461-510). It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of this "Corpus". It is the basis of all canon law (ecclesia vivit lege romana), and the basis of civil law in every civilized country" (Catholic Enc.; New Advent) 308 (of 310 leaves; lacking the last 2 blank leaves). Title printed in red; printed in red and black throughout; gothic type; double column; 70 to 82 lines; woodcut printer's device (Husung 214) printed in red at the end. Extensive expert repairs to the first two leaves which only affect a few letters; about a dozen leaves in the first part of the volume have a brownish coffee color stain (occasionally large but not affecting the legibility of the text); from leaf 147 to the end of the volume at the top inner margin a small round hole has been repaired with some loss of text; mildew stain in blank margins towards the end of the volume (stabilized); blank corner margins of last two leaves repaired (affect a few words on last leaf); few neat tear repairs. § Hain 9592; GKW 7718 (only 22 copies located); BSB C-592

So berichtet er vor allem in den Büchern III und IV von der im Gefolge der Akkulturation einzelner Gesellschaftsschichten erfolgten Herausbildung einer neuen Lebenskultur in diesen Gebieten.

AD 24) was a Greek historian, geographer and philosopher.Strabo was born in a wealthy family from Amaseia in Pontus (modern Amasya Turkey), which had recently become part of the Roman Empire. He studied under various geographers and philosophers first in Nysa, later in Rome. He was philosophically a Stoic and politically a proponent of Roman imperialism. Later he made extensive travels to Egypt and Kush, among others.Strabos History is nearly completely lost. Although Strabo quotes it himself, and other classical authors mention that it existed, the only surviving document is a fragment of papyrus now in possession of the University of Milan (renumbered [Papyrus] 46).The Geography Strabo is mostly famous for his 17-volume work Geographica, which presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known to his era. It is an important source of information on the ancient world, especially when information is corroborated by other sources. Source: Wikipedia -

Huttich, Johann (Ca 1480-1544) And Simon Grynaeus (1493-1541).
Novus Orbis Regionum Ac Insularum Verteribus Incognitarum
|
Paris: Antoine Augerelle, for Jean Petit, 8 Nov 1532. Folio (12 x 8 inches). Title-page with woodcut printer's device of Jean Petit, folding woodcut map of the world by Oronce Fine (1494-1555), 1531 (lower margin of map close cut, left blank margin slightly shaved and with extended margin, occasional light spotting to text). 18th-century vellum over paste-board, lettered in ink on spine "Variorum Geographia" and "Grynaeus Novus Orbis 94"; modern quarter brown morocco clamshell box. Provenance: Near contemporary ownership inscription of Carolus Bartolomeus Ranasius Cremonensis at the foot of the title-page; 18th-century inscription "No 94 Variorum Auctorum" in the upper right-hand margin of the title-page. The first appearance of Magellan's name on a map First published in Basel the same year, this is an exceptionally fine copy with the RARE WORLD MAP BY ORONCE FINE, the most prominent French cartographer of the 16th-century. Fine's double-cordiform (or heart-shaped) projection of the world is a modification of Werner's cordiform, but first employed by Fine in his world map of 1519. This new form which shows both the north and south poles went on to be used by Mercator in his 1538 world map and by Lafreri in 1560 and is a logical departure from the speculative geography of Waldseemüller and Ruysch. Fine names the lower Pacific "Mare Magellanium", which is the first appearance of Magellan's name on a map. The definition of the Antarctic land mass is surprisingly accurate given the lack of any knowledge of the region. The definition of the west coast of Mexico is one of the earliest to show the discoveries of Cortes. The work contains accounts of the voyages of Cadamosto, the three voyages of Columbus, Nino, Pinzon, Vespucius, Cabral, and part of the Fourth Decade of Peter Martyr, and Marco Polo. Shirley 66 (world map); Adams G1336. Purchased for $40, 000 at Christie's 16th November 2005, lot 180.

JUSTINIAN, Emperor of the East
Digestum novum
|
Bernardinus Stagninus de Tridino Venice 1494 Modern half vellum Folio . Rare edition of the "CorpusJuris Civilis"; not in American libraries, the BMC, Italy, etc. Includes the Glossa Ordinaria by Accursius Florentinus and the Summaria by Bartolus de Saxoferrato and Paulus de Castro with enlargements by Hieronymus Clarius (?). The volume, part of which has been subject to some expert repairs, and although some text has been affected it is a complete copy as well as an impressive, and monumental (16 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches) piece of printing; printed in red and black throughout. "The most enduring work of Justinian was his codification of the laws. ... The great empire he was reconquering must have the strength of organized unity. He says in the edict of promulgation of his laws that a state rests on arms and law ("De Justin. Cod. Confirmando", printed in front of the codex). The scattered decrees of his predecessors must then be collected in a well-ordered and complete codex, logically arranged, so that every Roman citizen could learn at once the law of the empire on any subject. This codification was Justinian's great work. He made many new laws himself, but his enduring merit is rather the classification of scattered older laws. ... So the immortal "Corpus Juris Civilis" was produced, consisting of four parts: (a) Digestae seu Pondecta, (b) Institutiones, (c) Codex, (d) Authenticum seu Novellae (an excellent account of its composition is found in Bury's Gibbon, ed. Cit., IV 461-510). It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of this "Corpus". It is the basis of all canon law (ecclesia vivit lege romana), and the basis of civil law in every civilized country" (Catholic Enc.; New Advent) 308 (of 310 leaves; lacking the last 2 blank leaves). Title printed in red; printed in red and black throughout; gothic type; double column; 70 to 82 lines; woodcut printer's device (Husung 214) printed in red at the end. Extensive expert repairs to the first two leaves which only affect a few letters; about a dozen leaves in the first part of the volume have a brownish coffee color stain (occasionally large but not affecting the legibility of the text); from leaf 147 to the end of the volume at the top inner margin a small round hole has been repaired with some loss of text; mildew stain in blank margins towards the end of the volume (stabilized); blank corner margins of last two leaves repaired (affect a few words on last leaf); few neat tear repairs. § Hain 9592; GKW 7718 (only 22 copies located); BSB C-592

Ensemble de 4 ouvrages reliés en un volume in-8, plein veau brun de l’époque, dos à 3 nerfs, plats ornés d’un décor estampé de filets d’encadrement et de 2 larges roulettes d’entrelacs en long, tranches mouchetées (décor estompé, reliure anciennement restaurée). Exceptionnel recueil de quatre œuvres, dont trois incunables, qui s'inscrivent, toutes quatre, dans le courant de « préréforme » et de renouveau de la vie intellectuelle à l'aube de la Renaissance. Réintroduisant la contestation contre la décadence de l'Eglise et le problème de la restauration chrétienne, l’édition de ces textes est emblématique de l'effort de réflexion entrepris, en cette fin du XVe siècle, autour des questions séculaires du rapport entre morale individuelle, morale collective, culture, croyance et pratiques, thèmes qui feront fortune au sein de l'humanisme naissant. Très bon exemplaire, intérieur très frais, bien préservé dans sa première reliure de veau estampé. Quelques notes érudites manuscrites par un humaniste à l'époque, d'une fine écriture en marge du texte, accompagnées d'une signature de la même main. Les textes se répartissent, dans le volume, selon l'ordre suivant : Jacobus Philippi, Guy Jouenneaux, Nicolas de Lyre et Isidore de Séville.

[1494-1497]. 18th century Italian mottled calf, spine extra-gilt with floral devices; two red morocco labels with gilt titles; marbled endpapers; some old notes on first t.p., contemp. 5 line entry from Virgil beginning OArma virumque canoO on Persius t.p. in fine hand; a few leaves browned in Juvenal; repaired tear in last leaf in Persius. . Folio. 2 works in 1 vol. 293 x 202mm.. Large woodcut on t.p. of Persius with Persius at a table and the editors, Giovanni Britannicio and Bartholomaeo de Fonte at their writing desks pens in hand. Composed of two blocks it was also used in Tacuinus' edition of Juvenal but with the right hand block replaced; white on black initials; TacuinoOs printerOs device at end of Persius. Juvenal (fl. A.D. 100)was the last great Roman satiric poet, and although it is not certain, it is generally believed that he was a member of the imperial court of Domitian who fell out of favor for lampooning a court favorite. His work was largely unpopular until the fourth century when Lactantius quoted him by name and Ausonius, among others, imitated him. Juvenal's satire may be seen as a protest against the corruptions of Rome in his day, and the works were greatly admired throughout the Middle Ages and became the model for many satirists in the Renaissance and thereafter.#11;Persius Flaccus (A.D.34-62), Etruscan knight and Stoic, is best remembered for his satires. His works were much read in Anitquity and the Middle Ages, but for his contorted thought, language, and many digressions, they are little read today. Donne emulated him, and his work has been compared for its flavor to that of Auden. Juvenalis: Goff J665. Hain/Copinger 9712*. IDL 2833. IGI 5600. Saj!-Solt!sz 2003. IBE 3396. Coll(U) 919.

AD 24) was a Greek historian, geographer and philosopher. Strabo was born in a wealthy family from Amaseia in Pontus (modern Amasya Turkey), which had recently become part of the Roman Empire. He studied under various geographers and philosophers; first in Nysa, later in Rome. He was philosophically a Stoic and politically a proponent of Roman imperialism. Later he made extensive travels to Egypt and Kush, among others. Strabos History is nearly completely lost. Although Strabo quotes it himself, and other classical authors mention that it existed, the only surviving document is a fragment of papyrus now in possession of the University of Milan (renumbered [Papyrus] 46). The Geography Strabo is mostly famous for his 17-volume work Geographica, which presented a descriptive history of people and places from different regions of the world known to his era. It is an important source of information on the ancient world, especially when information is corroborated by other sources. Source: Wikipedia Lesepult -

Institutio vite sacerdotalis div(ine) Joannis tritemii abbatis spanhemensis ordinis divi patris benedicti mogu(n)tinensis diocesis Ad nicolaum presbyteru(m) mernicenisem Treverensis diocesis

[Peter von Friedberg,] [Mainz:]: [Peter von Friedberg,], [After 22 October, 1494.]. First edition (one of three issues).. Modern full brown morocco,minor stains. Fine copy.. 4to.. Rubricated with intial Lombard letters in blue and red inks. The work in question is the Institutio viatae sacerdotalis, addressed to Trithemius' close friend and conscholarius during his former Heildelberg student days currently living in the neighborhood of Trier, Nicolaus de Merneck. Proposing to instruct the prospective scholar (as distict from regular) cleric in the performance of his office, the Institutio grew out of the first epistle of a series of letters from Trithemius to the novice priest Merneck begining April 1,1486.#11;Of the various dangers of the clerical vocation which Trithemius chose to warn his friend at that early moment in both their careers -- for at the age of 24 Trithemius himself was barely past his novitiate -- none is more predominantly at the front of his concerns in the Institutio than horrid acedia... And of course Trithemius' favorite remedy of the study of letters to help counteract aceia is also again close at hand... 'Withdraw from the company of those who reject knowledge...that is, those who neglect the reading of Scriptures and despise study!' Such ignorant seducers of young clerical novices 'are priests in name but asses in behavior...'#11;Trithemius did not wish to save the cleric from illiteracy only to have him come to no less disasterous ruin on the rockpile of the opposite stte, vain curiosity in matters detrimental to the lofty responsibilities of his office..."#11;[Noel L.

BRANDT (Sebastien)
La Nef des Folz du Monde. Lyon, Guillaume Balsarin, 11 Aout 1498. In-folio de 84 ff.n.ch. ; maroquin bleu nuit, decor de filets a froid encadrant les plats, doublures de maroquin vert fonce, gardes de velin, dos a nerfs orne de filets a froid, tranches dorees. (Huser).

Premiere edition Francaise en prose. La Nef des Fous est une des plus anciennes et des plus celebres satires litteraires medievales des travers de l' Eglise et des vices humains, concue sous la forme d'une allegorie : un navire charge de fous cinglant au hasard depuis le pays de Cocagne. On y releve les sept pechescapitaux et leurs derives, mais aussi le commerce des reliques, la chasse aux benefices, l'humeur proceduriere etc. Aucun groupe social n'est epargne et chacun peut donc se reconnaitre dans le miroir que l'auteur lui presente. Sous le masque ludique de la folie, cet ouvrage est un reflet fidele des moeurs de l'epoque. Lorsque la version originale allemande sortit des presses le jour de carnaval 1494, le succes fut immediat. Ses contemporains saluerent en Sebastien Brandt le continuateur des grands auteurs satiriques de l'Antiquite tels Aristophane, Horace, Perse et Juvenal. Une traduction latine, publiee en 1497 et reeditee a maintes reprisesassura la diffusion du texte en dehors des pays germaniques. C'est a partir de la version latine que furent publiees en 1497/1498 trois versions francaises differentes, l'une en vers et deux autres en prose. Il s'agit ici de la premiere edition paraphrasee en prose par Jean Drouyn d'apres la version en vers francais donnee par Pierre Riviere et imprimee par Geoffroi de Marnef peu de temps auparavant. Ne a Strasbourg en 1457, Sebastien Brand etudia le droit a l'universite de Bale ou il fit partie du groupe des prehumanistes reunis autour de Johannes Heynlin, qui en 1470 avait joue un role important dans l'introduction de l'imprimerie en France. C'est ce dernier qui avait recrute en Allemangne les trois prototypographes parisiens et installe leur presse dans un local appartenant a la Sorbonne. Apres avoir enseigne le droit a Bale, Brandt retourna dans sa ville natale en 1500 ou il occupa la charge de syndic, et de 1503 a sa mort en 1521, celle de chancelier. Maximilien 1er le nomma son conseiller et le fit assesseur de la Chambre imperiale et comte Palatin. Il s'agit du premier livre imprime en francais par Guillaume Balsarin, qui avait pris le titre de maitre imprimeur en 1498. A cette epoque Balsarin avait adopte un nouveau type de lettres batardes, inspirees de celle de son voisin Jacques Maillet. On trouve au verso du dernier feuillet sa grande marque sur fond noir avec le monogramme J. G. L'ouvrage est illustre de 117 remarquables figures gravees sur bois, ici en premier tirage, certaines tirees deux fois. Chacune d'elles represente une sorte de fou different : le bibliomane, l'avaricieux, l'usurier, le voyageur, le medecin assistant un mort, celui qui s'adonne trop a la danse, le fou de luxure etc. Ces compositions furent realisees pour cette edition d'apres les bois des editions baloises precedentes. Restauration au feuillet de titre, cependant bon exemplaire, grand de marges, lave et etabli au debut du XXeme siecle.

ALEXANDER VI, Pope.
|
[Venice, Jacobus de Paganinis, May-June 1494]. One of two known copies of this letter of indulgencefor the benefactors and members of the fraternity of the mons pietatis (or pawnshop bank) at Padua. The only other known copy is at Vicenza, Bibl. comunale Bertoliana. It is reproduced in V. Meneghin, Bernardino da Feltre e i Monti di Pietà, Vicenza 1974 (Tav. 8, opp. p. 88) where the background is discussed at length. We know that it was printed in 6036 copies (the printer being paid 7 ducats for his trouble) to be given to all members of the fraternity, present and future. Subscription to the fraternity was one shilling a month (singulis mensibus … solidum unum persolvere tenerentur). The encouragement to join was the right to appoint a confessor who could remit venial sins, non-fulfilment of vows, etc. By the end of the 15th century there were eighteen montes pietatis in Italy, but the printed evidence to document their growth is very rare. Only two other such printed broadsides are known (both apparently unique): one relating to the mons pietatis at Cremona (1493), the other to the mons pietatis at Verona (again 1493) (see below). The montes pietatis were an attempt to solve the problems of usury. There is an account of their institution in John T. Noonan, The Scholastic Analysis of Usury (Harvard University Press, 1957), pp. 294-5: “The medieval usury doctrine especially discouraged the small-loan business. Public lending to the poor was manifest usury … To accept lending as a profession, to admit public dealing in simple consumption loans as desirable, was to make a radical break with the past. This break occurred with the acceptance of the montes pietatis. With this came not only a belief that lending could be a livelihood: although the montes themselves were pawnshops, their acceptance led to acceptance of much of the structure of institutional banking, and in particular, to the approval of investments in lending institutions and a charge of the institutional obligation of being in a position to lend.A mons pietatis was a public pawnshop, regularly financed by charitable donations and run not for profit but for the service of the poor. It charged a small fee for its care of the pawns and for the expenses of administration, including the salaries of its employees, so that the capital would not eventually be exhausted by the cost of the business. In Italy this fee came usually to 6 per cent, as compared with the 32 ½ to 43 ½ per cent charged by the public usurers. The directors of the mons were usually one or two ecclesiastical representatives and several respected merchants of the town.From the first, the mons met theological opposition on the grounds that it was an institution making a business out of lending at usury. But in 1467 Paul II approved the constitution of the original Perugian mons and successive popes approved the montes in other Italian cities. The Franciscans espoused the institution, and Blessed Bernardine of Feltre, a great Franciscan preacher [mentioned by name in the present broadside] was its special apostle, travelling throughout Italy attacking Jewish money-lenders and pleading for the mons as the remedy for usury. Some montes founded by Franciscans originally loaned entirely gratuitously, but in 1493, Bernardine convinced a general council of the order that the only practicable ways of preserving them was to charge interest; accordingly, an interest charge was made mandatory for all Franciscan establishments. At the end of the fifteenth century, there were eighty montes pietatis in Italy – a growth which itself is perhaps the best indication of the necessity of their work”.The printer. Dr Martin Davies writes,The type of the Paduan mons pietatis broadside is a gothic fount measuring 84mm. for 20 lines, as used by a number of Venetian printers, in this case the 84G of the brothers de Paganinis of Brescia, whose books were variously signed by Paganinus, Jacobus and Hieronymus. Jacobus signs books only of late 1490 to 1491 (BMC V 453), but we have an archival document in Padua (V. Meneghin, Fra Bernardino da Feltre, p. 312) to the effect that this broadside was the work of a printer called “Giacomo da Brescia”, who on 4 June 1494 was paid seven ducats for printing 6,036 copies of it. (The broadside 84G is quite different from that used by Jacobus Britannicus of Brescia, the only other possible candidate among known printers.) The peculiar ticked Q (line 21), standing for Quod, is found sparingly towards the end of the only book signed by Jacobus de Paganinis in the British Library, Panormitanus, Consilia, 7 Apr. 1491, IC.23307, at h4v col. a ad calc. ‘Quarto’, i6v col. b v. 20, k4v col. a v. 4. This sort is also often seen filed down to make a regular Q (one of three distinct designs used by Jacobus in the book), as it is in the Pacioli, Somma di arithmetica, Nov. 1494 signed by his brother Paganinus. Imperfectly modified versions of this sort form the Q at fol. 7r col. 2 of the opening table (‘Quintus) and fol. 63r/h7r (‘Quanta’) in that book. The Panormitanus of Jacobus has no woodcut initials, but the black-ground woodcut V that begins the broadside is often used in the Pacioli of Paganinus, in the British Library copy (IB.23272) first at fol. 36 (c4r). The BL copy has its opening quires from a later printing, with lombards in place of the original woodcut initials: these latter can be seen in the online facsimile provided by Wolfenbüttel HAB at http://diglib.hab.de/inkunabeln/83-1-quod-2f/start.htm, the first woodcut V at frame 65 = fol. 24/c8r, and plentifully thereafter. The two words in roman type (all in capitals) will be printed in the de Paganinis 79R or 85R.The only broadsides relating to montes pietatis noted by Falk Eisermann, Verzeichnis der typographischen Einblattdrucke des 15.

GUILLELMUS PERALDUS
Summa de virtutibus et vitiis
|
Angelus and Jacobus Britannicus Brescia 24 December 1494 18th century vellum 8vo . Early collected edition (2nd? preceded by a Cologne 1479 ed.). An excellent note on the value of these texts is made by Dr. A.M. Verweij in his announcement for an a project to make an English translation of Guillelmus Peraldus', 'Summa de virtutibus': "The aim of this project is to prepare a critical, annotated edition of the by and large most influential text on the cardinal virtues from the later medieval period: Guillaume Peyraut (Guillelmus Peraldus, ca. 1200-1271?), 'Summa de virtutibus' (ca. 1248), section III, 'De virtutibus cardinalibus'. Peraldus, a Dominican preacher from Lyon, composed the 'Summa de virtutibus' as a counterpart of his 'Summa de vitiis' (ca. 1236); by 1250 both Summae often circulated together, so that they are sometimes mentioned as a single work, by medieval readers as well as by modern bibliographers. It is important to note that the 'Summa de virtutibus' is not a specimen of speculative theology or philosophy. There are few references to Aristotle or other Greek philosophers; Peraldus rather uses the Latin Stoics (Cicero, Seneca, Macrobius) and otherwise clings to the Christian tradition, from the Bible and patristic writings to Bernard of Clairvaux. One may characterize his Summae as compendia for preachers and confessors, adapted to their instructional needs and emphasizing more the concrete actions of common believers than human psychology or morality in general. Their rhetoric and structure suit these pragmatic needs: the works include a large amount of illustrative material (quotations, anecdotes, exempla), which were to facilitate the moral instruction of the congregation from the pulpit. Moreover, rubrics were introduced into the text to stimulate the use of the Summae as works of reference. The influence of the 'Summa de virtutibus' can hardly be overestimated. The work has been preserved in over 300 manuscripts (against 500 for the 'Summa de vitiis'), many of these originating in Dominican and Franciscan environments, and a few dozen early printed editions. For many Latin and vernacular treatises dealing with the virtues, the 'Summa' has functioned as a leading or exclusive model (which has caused many of these works to be mistakenly attributed to Peraldus)" ( Dr. A.M. Verweij, Instituut voor Historische, Literaire en Culturele Studies). The project may have been canceled or not yet accomplished since an online check doesn't bring up any English translations yet available.

OUP Oxford - In recent years there has been increasing interest shown in the history and development of accounting practices; accounting records are an important source of historical data, and they can also provide evidence of varied organizational structures and systems of management control. This volume brings together published work by the major British scholars in the field, and is intended as a contribution to accounting scholarship on the 500th anniversary of Pacioli's Summa de Arithmetica (1494). Contributions are grouped under the following headings: The Ancient World; Before Double Entry; Corporate Accounting; Local Government Accounting; Cost and Management Accounting; Accounting Theory; an.

The Elect Nation: The Savonarolan Movement in Florence, 1494-1545
|
Clarendon Press - The Elect Nation is the first comprehensive study of the religious, political and cultural movement inspired by Savonarola. Based on a thorough examination of archival material and manuscript sources, the book argues that the followers of Savonarola exercised a profound influence on every facet of Florentine life during the important period of the city's transition from republic to principate. It is the author's contention that their ideology and activities provide the key to understanding not only the policital developments of the last years of the Florentine Republic, but also the nature of contemporary political debate and the characteristics of the merging Medicean Principate.

BMC i 144; BSB-Ink H-292. GW 879. Goff A-400. Última de las ediciones incunables de la Historia de Alejandro. Esta recopilación de hechos legéndarios sobre la vida de Alejandro iii de Macedonia, llamado el Grande, fue escrita en griego hacia el siglo tercero de nuestra era. En diversos manuscritos antiguos, la obra estaba atribuída al historiador de la corte Calístenes. Hoy sabemos que éste murió en la cárcel al caer en desgracia ante Alejandro, por lo que difícilmente podría narrar la muerte y exequias de éste. El autor anónimo del relato es conocido como Pseudo-Calístenes, su obra conoció diversas versiones hasta el siglo xvi siendo traducida a la mayoría de las lenguas europeas.

Accounting History: Some British Contributions
|
Clarendon Press. New In recent years there has been increasing interest shown in the history and development of accounting practices; accounting records are an important source of historical data, and they can also provide evidence of varied organizational structures and systems of management control. This volume brings together published work by the major British scholars in the field, and is intended as a contribution to accounting scholarship on the 500th anniversary of Pacioli's Summa de Arithmetica (1494). Contributions are grouped under the following headings: The Ancient World; Before Double Entry; Double Entry Corporate Accounting; Local Government Accounting; Cost and Management Accounting; Accounting Theory; and Accounting in Context. The editors have contributed an introduction which traces the evolution of accounting history and summarizes key topics of research and debate in the post-war period. This collection will be of interest to accounting, economic, and social historians alike. ISBN10: 0198288867.

Malleus Maleficarum.
|
Colonia (Koln), Johann Koeloff, 1494. - Folio (Cm 28), attraente legatura in pergamena da un codice manoscritto del secolo XV, con titolo manoscritto al dorso, e laccetti di chiusura originali ai piatti (legatura rimontata nel sec. XIX), ottimo esemplare pulito e ad ampi margini, alcune carte con segni di barbe. Interessanti note manoscritte coeve alla carta del titolo ed al margine di varie carte, bell' esemplare rubricato con lettere capitali in rosso e bleu (vecchio strappo restaur. anticamente senza danni al margine della carta LXIIII, abili restauri all'angolo inferiore delle ultime 2 carte). Testo in carattere gotico su 48 linee a 2 colonne, cc. (4), CVIII.Rara edizione di questo testo, il più famoso manuale per inquisitori. Il Malleus Maleficarum (c.d. Martello delle streghe) fu redatto nel 1486, e pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1487, allo scopo di soddisfare l'urgenza di reprimere l'eresia e la stregoneria, secondo la volontà espressa da Papa Innocenzo VIII attraverso la bolla 'Summis desiderantes affectibus' del 1484, che conferiva esplicitamente agli stessi autori il mandato di procedere con rigorosa fermezza nei confronti delle streghe: ". E anche se i nostri diletti figli, Heinrich Kramer e Johann Sprenger [.] sono stati delegati come inquisitori con lettera apostolica [.] decretiamo che ai suddetti inquisitori venga data potestà di giuste reprensione, incarcerazione e punizione di chiunque, senza permesso e senza limitazione". La prima parte del libro affronta la discussione sull'origine della stregoneria ed in particolare sulla natura femminile che, secondo gli autori, per intrinseca debolezza sarebbe predisposta a cedere alle tentazioni di Satana. L'ultima parte si occupa di fornire istruzioni pratiche sulla cattura, il processo, la detenzione e l'eliminazione delle streghe, fornendo indicazioni su come evitare che le autorità siano soggette alla stregoneria, e dedicando ampio spazio all'illustrazione di tecniche di estorsione delle confessioni e alla pratica della tortura durante gli interrogatori. Quarta edizione, molto rara come tutte le edizioni incunabole. HC 9244; BMC I, 298; Goff I-167; Klebs 926.4. Caillet III, 10329 (ma tarda ediz. 1519). [Attributes: Hard Cover]

JUSTINIAN, Emperor of the East
Digestum novum
|
Bernardinus Stagninus de Tridino, Venice 1494 - Modern half vellum Folio . Rare edition of the "Corpus Juris Civilis"; not in American libraries, the BMC, Italy, etc. Includes the Glossa Ordinaria by Accursius Florentinus and the Summaria by Bartolus de Saxoferrato and Paulus de Castro with enlargements by Hieronymus Clarius (?). The volume, part of which has been subject to some expert repairs, and although some text has been affected it is a complete copy as well as an impressive, and monumental (16 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches) piece of printing; printed in red and black throughout. "The most enduring work of Justinian was his codification of the laws. . The great empire he was reconquering must have the strength of organized unity. He says in the edict of promulgation of his laws that a state rests on arms and law ("De Justin. Cod. Confirmando", printed in front of the codex). The scattered decrees of his predecessors must then be collected in a well-ordered and complete codex, logically arranged, so that every Roman citizen could learn at once the law of the empire on any subject. This codification was Justinian's great work. He made many new laws himself, but his enduring merit is rather the classification of scattered older laws. . So the immortal "Corpus Juris Civilis" was produced, consisting of four parts: (a) Digestae seu Pondecta, (b) Institutiones, (c) Codex, (d) Authenticum seu Novellae (an excellent account of its composition is found in Bury's Gibbon, ed. Cit., IV 461-510). It would be difficult to exaggerate the importance of this "Corpus". It is the basis of all canon law (ecclesia vivit lege romana), and the basis of civil law in every civilized country" (Catholic Enc.; New Advent) 308 (of 310 leaves; lacking the last 2 blank leaves). Title printed in red; printed in red and black throughout; gothic type; double column; 70 to 82 lines; woodcut printer's device (Husung 214) printed in red at the end. Extensive expert repairs to the first two leaves which only affect a few letters; about a dozen leaves in the first part of the volume have a brownish coffee color stain (occasionally large but not affecting the legibility of the text); from leaf 147 to the end of the volume at the top inner margin a small round hole has been repaired with some loss of text; mildew stain in blank margins towards the end of the volume (stabilized); blank corner margins of last two leaves repaired (affect a few words on last leaf); few neat tear repairs. § Hain 9592; GKW 7718 (only 22 copies located); BSB C-592.

GUILLELMUS PERALDUS
Summa de virtutibus et vitiis
|
Angelus and Jacobus Britannicus 24 December 1494, Brescia - 18th century vellum 8vo . Early collected edition (2nd? preceded by a Cologne 1479 ed.). An excellent note on the value of these texts is made by Dr. A.M. Verweij in his announcement for an a project to make an English translation of Guillelmus Peraldus', 'Summa de virtutibus': "The aim of this project is to prepare a critical, annotated edition of the by and large most influential text on the cardinal virtues from the later medieval period: Guillaume Peyraut (Guillelmus Peraldus, ca. 1200-1271?), 'Summa de virtutibus' (ca. 1248), section III, 'De virtutibus cardinalibus'. Peraldus, a Dominican preacher from Lyon, composed the 'Summa de virtutibus' as a counterpart of his 'Summa de vitiis' (ca. 1236); by 1250 both Summae often circulated together, so that they are sometimes mentioned as a single work, by medieval readers as well as by modern bibliographers. It is important to note that the 'Summa de virtutibus' is not a specimen of speculative theology or philosophy. There are few references to Aristotle or other Greek philosophers; Peraldus rather uses the Latin Stoics (Cicero, Seneca, Macrobius) and otherwise clings to the Christian tradition, from the Bible and patristic writings to Bernard of Clairvaux. One may characterize his Summae as compendia for preachers and confessors, adapted to their instructional needs and emphasizing more the concrete actions of common believers than human psychology or morality in general. Their rhetoric and structure suit these pragmatic needs: the works include a large amount of illustrative material (quotations, anecdotes, exempla), which were to facilitate the moral instruction of the congregation from the pulpit. Moreover, rubrics were introduced into the text to stimulate the use of the Summae as works of reference. The influence of the 'Summa de virtutibus' can hardly be overestimated. The work has been preserved in over 300 manuscripts (against 500 for the 'Summa de vitiis'), many of these originating in Dominican and Franciscan environments, and a few dozen early printed editions. For many Latin and vernacular treatises dealing with the virtues, the 'Summa' has functioned as a leading or exclusive model (which has caused many of these works to be mistakenly attributed to Peraldus)" ( Dr. A.M. Verweij, Instituut voor Historische, Literaire en Culturele Studies). The project may have been canceled or not yet accomplished since an online check doesn't bring up any English translations yet available. A very nice copy which is illustrated with a fine title woodcut of Saint Peter 2 parts in 1 volume. 220 (last leaf blank), [163] (instead of 164; lacking last blank leaf). With title woodcut; gothic type; 50 lines; capital spaces with guide letters; title-page expertly clean and remargined covering a few letters on verso but not affecting legibility of the text; some light occasional foxing. Generally a very good copy. § Hain-Copinger 12389; Pellechet 8983; Polain 3038; IGI 7211; Proctor 6988; BMC VII, 976; GKW 12054; Goff P 85 (3 copies); BSB G-524.

Debby, N.B.-A
Renaissance Florence in the Rhetoric of Two Popular Preachers
|
Brepols Publishers. Hardcover. 2503511635 The preaching of the Dominican friar Girolamo Savonarola and the period of his dominance (1494-1498) are a well-known chapter in the history of Renaissance Florence. However, comparatively less research has been done on Savonarola's predecessors, the mendicant preachers of Florence in the first half of the fifteenth century. The Dominican Giovanni Dominici (1356-1419) and the Franciscan Bernardino da Siena (1380-1444) were the most important of these preachers. Dominici's and Bernardino's sermons, as they appear in Tuscan reports (reportationes) of their preaching, are a valuable historical source. Written down by anonymous listeners, these are the major reports of sermons preached in fifteenth-century Florence before Savonarola. The reportationes are unique in that they transmit in full the actual preaching event and are not merely a doctrinal summary composed by the preacher. Many of these sermons are still in manuscript form, especially those of Dominici, which have never been studied in detail and remain unpublished to this day. Dominici and Bernardino were active in Florence at a time when broad legal, social and cultural changes were taking place. The central purpose of this study is to examine the response of these preachers to the changes, the alternatives they offered and their attempts to direct the life of the laity. The four principal chapters are devoted to the preachers' opinions on secular and ecclesiastical politics, education and humanism, morality and the family and the economy and usury (the role of the Jews), the discussion built around a comparison between the two preachers. Although they differed in their interests and in their style - the unbending Dominici concentrating on politics and culture while the more flexible Bernardino focused on morality and the economy - they shared ideologies. xiv + 244p (Brepols 2001). 9782503511634.

Curtius Rufus, Qunitus. De Rebus Gestis Alexandri Magni R...
|
Bartolomeo Merula, ed. Venice: Johannes Tacuinus de Tridino, July 17, 1494. Folio. [Lacks a1, t.p.]a2-8,b-i6, [lacks k1-6], l6. 61 (of 68)leaves=122pp. Modern half-calf, lightly stained (a little darker at front), some restored corners, first and last leaves with repairs (some minor text affects). First Merula edition. Curtius Rufus wrote this history of Alexander the Great ,his march through Phrygia and the cutting of the Gordian Knot,under Claudius or Vespasian. "The author is an excellent story-teller and makes the most of many thrilling or picturesque incidents in the Asiatic expedition..."[OCCL] Merula, Italian humanist and poet, was born in Mantua. He taught grammar in Split from 1487-9. When the powerful Venicean Zori of the Corner family sought a tutor for his sons, Merula won th position. “Among the most powerful families in Venice at this period were the Corner, whose members included the titular Queen of Cyprus and her brother Zorzi, one of the most widely employed and respected statesmen in the Republic. Zorzi had a history of connections with scholars of an earlier generation such as George of Trebizond and Merula, so when it became known in 1484 that he was seeking a tutor for his sons, the post was eagerly sought. Ermolao Barbaro and Gerolamo Donato were asked to intercede. Bartolomeo Merula, the successful candidate, gained a certain status in Venetian intellectual society, editing a number of Latin texts for the press of Tacuinus during the 1490s and 1500s. When his main charge, Marco Corner, was given a cardinalcy in 1500, Bartolomeo simply became his secretary instead of his tutor and was in due course rewarded for his services by the appointment of apostolic protonotary.” [Martin Lowry, World of Aldus Manitius.] Ann Moss in her “Ovid In Renissance France” calls him an “indefatigable” editor and in the case of Ovid, “His main concern is to make the sense of the text clear by paraphrasing difficult passages and enlarging on historical, geographical and mythological allusions, with the help of recognized authorities. His is a grammatical, rather than a rhetorical commentary.” The missing leaves are the end of book eight and the beginning of book nine. GW 7875. Hain/Copinger 5885. Goff C1002. BMC V,528. BSB C721.

Trithemius [Tritheim] , Johannes. Institutio vite sacerdo...
|
[Mainz:] [Peter von Friedberg,] [After 22 October, 1494.] 4to. A8,B-C6. Modern full brown morocco,minor stains. Fine copy. Rubricated with intial Lombard letters in blue and red inks. First edition (one of three issues). "The work in question is the Institutio viatae sacerdotalis, addressed to Trithemius' close friend and conscholarius during his former Heildelberg student days currently living in the neighborhood of Trier, Nicolaus de Merneck. Proposing to instruct the prospective scholar (as distict from regular) cleric in the performance of his office, the Institutio grew out of the first epistle of a series of letters from Trithemius to the novice priest Merneck begining April 1,1486. Of the various dangers of the clerical vocation which Trithemius chose to warn his friend at that early moment in both their careers -- for at the age of 24 Trithemius himself was barely past his novitiate -- none is more predominantly at the front of his concerns in the Institutio than horrid acedia... And of course Trithemius' favorite remedy of the study of letters to help counteract aceia is also again close at hand... 'Withdraw from the company of those who reject knowledge...that is, those who neglect the reading of Scriptures and despise study!' Such ignorant seducers of young clerical novices 'are priests in name but asses in behavior...' Trithemius did not wish to save the cleric from illiteracy only to have him come to no less disasterous ruin on the rockpile of the opposite stte, vain curiosity in matters detrimental to the lofty responsibilities of his office..."

A medieval classic GESTA ROMANORUM cum applicatoribus moralisatis ac misticis.
|
(Neurenberg, Anton Koberger). 1494 In die sancti Adriani martyris. - 4to. Modern dark green morocco. (8), 111 lvs., printed in 2 columns. Nuremberg incunable of one of the most popular literary works of the Middle Ages. Under the somewhat misleading title "Deeds of the Romans", it contains a wealth of exemplary tales of all genres of didactic and moral literature: fables, legends anecdotes, fairy-tales, etc. These tales came from a wide variety of sources, both European and Eastern, and included classical authors as well as stories from the Scriptures, and incorporated for instance the whole "Historia Septem Sapientium". So the structure of the book is loose, and the narrative talent of the compiler seems to vary with his source. This also allowed transcribers to insert any additional tale they judged suitable, and both manuscripts and printed editions much vary in contents. But the unifying element of the "Gesta" was its moral purpose, and the compiler managed to bring together the best tales of all genres of moralistic literature extant in the Middle Ages. The origin of the "Gesta Romanorum" is still under dispute, but the collection is believed to have originated either in Germany or England, the oldest known manuscript going back to 1342. The work was soon translated into most vernacular languages and remained the most popular moralistic literature, especially much used by preachers, until far into the 16th century. The "Gesta" also much influenced German and English literature, like Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales", but also Shakespeare. The present Nuremberg edition contains 181 fables, legends, anecdotes and fairy-tales, some very short, but also some of several pages long. All are followed either by an "Applicatio" or more generally by a "Moralisatio", in which the moral of the story is fully discussed. A full index is given in the preliminaries. In our copy some odd initials are provided by hand in red or blue, and a single page is rubricated. Fine copy with ample margins.- (Title on first leaf mounted, last blank lacking; leaf 111 restored at lower margin not touching text). Goff G 294; Hain-Copinger 7748; Proctor 2089; Oates 1032; Pell 5256; GW 10899.
