Rabelais, Francois Les Oeuvres...Augmentees de la Vie de l'Auteur & de quelques Remarques sur sa vie & fur l'histoire
[23],488,[10];459,[9]pp., N.P.[Brussels?]:. Modern brown morocco-backed marbled boards,spine with title gilt, new endpapers, bookplates of David Warner Dumas, & Sir Robert Comyn, signature of Rich(ard) Wilson on t.p.s.. N.P.,. First t.p. in red and black, Elzevier sphere device on t.ps. Rabelais (1494?-1553) physician, humorist, satirist, and pioneer of humanism. His Gargantua and Pantagruel were composed over a twenty years and are loosely held together by a narrative thread. They are one of the great works of world literature. This collection also includes his Prognostication Pantagrueline which is a facetious forecast of events in the coming year (published in 1533), and is a parody of the popular almanacs of its kind. This is a facsimile reprint of the Elzevier edition of 1663; the date on the first t.p. is incorrect and should be 1669 as on the second title (Graesse says there are examples with the date corrected). Brunet likens these to 1659 reprints by Adrian Moejens of Amsterdam and Henri Fricae of Brussels; Rahir places it later. Tchemerzine IX,318a. Rahir 3370 "est publiee en France au XVIIIe siecle."

Cristoferum de Pensis, de Mandello (& Philippus Pincius).] 18 March 1494, gatherings a-e and A-D bound before aa-ff (in variance to BMC), early marginalia in five tracts, some just shaved, an old reinforced tear from tail-edge of one leaf through five lines of text with no loss, a short slit in blank margin of six other leaves, a little faint spotting in places, ff.

Modesti libellus de vocabulis rei militaris [edited by Philippus Beroaldus.] [Bologna: Plato de Boniensis.] 1495-6, lacking last leaf (blank except for register on recto), numerous diagrams composed of type, one wormhole through second half (no loss of sense), joined by a further scattering in final leaves with just a couple of words lost on the last, a little faint staining in a few margins, ff. [97 (of 98)], folio, three works bound together in eighteenth-century diced mid-brown russia, backstrip with six raised bands, second and third compartments gilt-lettered direct, the rest with elaborate gilt tooling of stars, crowns, dots, volut�s and other tools, boards with a gilt fillet border and ornate gilt cornerpieces, marbled endpapers, leather cracked at joints (but joints strong), a touch of wear at tail of backstrip, very good Three incunabula bound together, comprising Cicero?s Philippic Orations, the same author?s philosophical works, and a collection of military treatises by Frontinus, Flavius Vegetius, Aelian, and Modestus. The first two works were both printed in Venice in March 1494, the first by Joannes de Tridinus and the second by Christopher de Pensis of Madellus, though two included pieces in the second were probably the work of Philippus Pincus as they use his type. The first book, the Philippic Orations, was edited by Franciscus Maturantius Perusinus, and includes a commentary by him. The second book exists in two variants with different orders of signatures (v. Hain), one with the contents on the verso of leaf a1 and the other with the contents on the verso of GG4; the copy here has the contents on GG4v but is bound in the order of the other issue, so that the contents appear near the end. The third book was printed at Bologna beginning in 1495 (the first two internal colophons are dated 10 July and 16 November of that year) and finishing the following year (the final colophon is dated 17 January 1496). It was edited by Philippus Beroaldus, who based his edition on that of Sulpitius Silber (1487), though with a new arrangement of texts; the Aelian is a Latin translation by Theodorus Gaza. Beroaldus?s arrangement was reprinted in 1505. All three books show some ink marginalia in an early hand. These appear to be mostly finding aids rather than annotations - the majority of the entries simply repeat a significant word or name at the level of the line of text wherein it appears. There are also corrections to the text. (First work: ISTC ic00557000; BMC V p. 528; Bod. C-254; Goff C557; Hain 5139; Proctor 5430. Second work: ISTC ic00570000; BMC V p. 469; Goff C570; Hain 5340.

Briquet, C.M. Les Filigranes. Dictionnaire Historique Des Marques Du Papier Des Leur Apparition Vers 1282 Jusqu'En 1600. [ 4 Vols, Complete Set ]
Georg Olms Verlag, Hildesheim, 1977 reprint of 1923 first edition. Background blocking to spine-titles rubbed, otherwise a Fine set. 4 vols, cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, 836 pp, 1494 pp of ills with some 16112 watermarks reproduced. "A standard reference depicting more than 16, 000 watermarks beginning in 1282, when the first one appeared, to 1600. Over a period of twenty-five years, Briquet traveled to more than 200 European libraries and archives to examine paper, and he went blind in the process. Briquet arranged the descriptions alphabetically, using the numbers of his illustrations for references. His notes reveal much about the origins of papermaking in Europe and often provide fascinating information. For example, 'elephant' sheets derive their name not from their size but from the watermark that appeared on them. Later the term came to be associated with this size of paper, regardless of the watermark. Briquet did not examine paper in Spain, Portugal, Scandinavia, or Great Britain, but for the countries covered this is an indispensable resource. "-Rosenblum. [Bookseller: Alibris]

Y. Pinson Art History (Outside a Series) Y. Pinson The Fools' Journey. A Myth of Obsession in Northern Renaissance Art
Brepols Verlag. Art History (Outside a Series) Y. Pinson The Fools' Journey. A Myth of Obsession in Northern Renaissance Art XVII+226 p., 152 b/w ill.+8 colour ill., 220 x 280 mm, 2009, Paperback ISBN 978-2-503-52612-6, EUR 105.00 Available English Text: Tracing the evolution of the newly emerging iconographical patterns of fools and folly, this book sheds light on the original and innovative invention that was an exclusive creation of northern Renaissance art and culture. The novel theme of the fools' journey, as expressed mainly through prints in Germany and later in the Netherlands in the sixteenth century is revealed as an ironical paraphrase, parodying the well established Christian topos, the Pilgrimage of Life or the Pilgrimage of the Human Soul, which offered the believer the opportunity to travel on the road toward redemption. The new mythical image of the fools' journey, however, confronts the contemporary reader/viewer with the image of the fool on his voyage that leads him, instead, to his doomed fate, thereby reflecting a pessimistic world-view. The newly emerging visual vocabulary is considered in relation to analogical contemporary didactic and satirical theatrical performances such as the rederijkers plays, the sotties, and also carnival processions. Proposing a new reading of Sebastian Brant's The Ship of Fools (Das Narrenschiff, Basel 1494), a landmark in the new iconography of the allegorical journey, this study recognizes as well the power of the visual image employed in the woodcuts-illustrations accompanying the treatise as a tool of moral teaching, used as a means of influencing the larger urban audience for whom word and image were sometimes interchangeable. Concomitantly, the divergence between verbal expression and visual language may be seen to define the inherent codes of the visual expressions. It is precisely the gap between literary sources and visualization, the very moment when visual vocabulary crystallizes, and image departs from word creating its own autonomous expression and language, that attracts our attention. The range and diversity of visual material related to the fools' journey topos, addresses a wide spectrum of audiences. This study also takes into consideration the strategies of communicating meanings and values to various publics. Addressing the wider urban public that was not necessarily lettered, notably women, illustrated-books and images were envisaged first of all as didactic tools. In accordance, the painters-engravers attended their public with rather simple visual elaborations that could be easily deciphered. Paintings, drawings, and prints intended for highly cultivated elite circles of urban society, among them works by Albrecht D�rer and Hieronymus Bosch, demanded greater intellectual involvement on the part of the beholder, challenging the sophisticated viewer to re-create a meaningful ensemble out of the various scenes and motifs presented within complex compositions.. 2-503-52612-6 Verlagsfrisch New Copy [Bookseller: Antiquariat und Versandbuchhandel Uwe L�]

Renouard, A. -A. Annales De L'Imprimerie Des Alde, Ou Histoire Des Trois Manuce Et De Leurs Editions. Tome Premiere [With] Tome Deuxieme. [ 2 Vols of 3, in 1]
A. -A. Renouard, Paris, second edition, 1825. Fore-edges untrimmed and slightly duststained, contents mildly foxed on a few leaves but generally very clean, Good. Later cloth, gilt spine-title "Aldes", 8vo, 425, [1], 434, [2] pp, 2 frontispiece portraits. numerous vignettes. From Bigmore & Wyman: "The Annals, executed with all the care, the taste, and the elegance which characterised the editions of Renouard, are divided into two parts. The first, occupying the first volume, supplies accounts: 1. Of the editions of Aldus Manutius, called Aldus the Elder, between 1494 and 1515, the year in which he died, at the age of-seventy years, leaving four sons of very tender years, among them Paul Minutius, then aged three years. 2. Of the editions of Andrew d'Asola and his sons, between 1516 and 1529, the year of his death. During this period the printing-office of Manutius was superintended by Andrew d'Asola and his sons. 3. Of the editions issued under the direction of Paul Manutius in the name of the successors of Aldus from 1533 (the establishment being closed for four years, owing to quarrels between the son and the successors of the founder) up to 1571. Paul Manuce died in 1574. 4. Of the editions produced by Aldus the Younger, from 1572 up to 1597. when the latter died, and the Aldine dynasty came to an end. The first volume of Renouard is closed with an account of editions without date. The second volume contains a preface, the lives of the three Aldi, the privileges accorded to the first Aldus by the Venetian Senate and the Pontifical Sovereigns; a notice of the four Aldine Catalogues, of which the elder Aldus issued three; a notice of the editions of Andrew d'Asola, between 1480 and 1506; a notice of the editions published in Paris by Bernard Turrisan, grandson of Andrew d'Asola, afterwards by Robert Colombelle; a notice of the counterfeits or editions produced in imitation of those of Aldus; a catalogue of Aldine editions, arranged according to subjects; also a list of authors whose works were issued from this press. The book of Renouard is regarded as a model for a similar compilation. " d'Alde Manuce, 1494-1515. Andr� d'Asola, 1516-29. Paul Manuce, 1533-58. --t. 2. Paul Manuce, 1559-78.

(8), 182, (1) pp. Important and very early chronological survey of the editions published by the Aldine Press (1494-1595).

STRABO Geographia. Translated by Guarinus Veronensis and Gregorius Tiphernas. Edited by Antonius Mancinellus
[Colophon on &6r:] [Venice]: Joannes (Rubeus) Vercellensis, 24 April 1494., 1494. folio. 310 x 215 mm. ff. [16], cl. 61 lines & headline. roman & Greek type. initial spaces. old bds. covered with marbled paper (some chipping to spine, a few early ms. notes & measurements in margins, repairs to upper & lower margins of final leaf with partial loss of one word, a few small wormholes in the last few leaves, some light dampstaining). The First Edition to be Edited by Antonio Mancinello. The previous four editions, the first of which was printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz at Rome in 1469 (Goff S793), were all edited by Giovanni Andrea, Bishop of Aleria. Mancinello's dedication of his table is dated 'quinto nonas Maias. M.cccc.xciiii', eleven days later than the colophon, which presumably accounts for the duplication of the title. In his second edition of 28 January 1494/5 (Goff S798), the printer replaced the second title with some Latin verses. "A geographical encyclopaedia written for the information of government officials and travellers and containing much regarding the customs and usages of various countries that is of technological interest. For instance, it describes the marble quarries of Carrara, the mining of vermilion in Spain, and the use of rock salt deposits there. It mentions the raising of the water by means of Archimedean screws. It describes the use of asphalt for building-blocks and in liquid form as a water-proofing agent - a product made from a bitumen seepage in Babylonia. It speaks of trade in bitumen, a product of the petroleum family, and discusses dyes, use of pitch in sealing the cracks in Celtic beer barrels, and the fact that Spanish wine will keep."

MISSA BEATAE VIRGINAE, et aliae Orationes.
Bologna (?), Italy; after 1494. 12mo 66x95mm. Illuminated manuscript on vellum. Ff. [ii]145 [ii], fol.31 with full page illumination depicting the Virgin and the Infant Christ within fullpage border, scrolling decoration at head and foot on a red and green ground, urns and flowers with jewels and pearls on a deep blue ground, text slightly worn, shield at foot azur an eagle or with initials N.M., fol.66 with elaborate illuminated 5-line D with stave of flowers, leaves, scrolls, jewels and pearls on crimson, blue and gold grounds, one-line crosses in red and blue. In Rotunda Italiana script, 11 lines per page, in Latin, some rubrics in Italian towards the end. 2-line liquid gold illuminated letters on red, blue and green grounds with scrolling decoration, initial letters with traces of gold, partially rubricated. Text slightly faded in places on hairside only. Occasional slight marginal soiling, oil-stain to blank outer corner of last three leaves. Generally very good and clean in early 19th C black morocco, panel stamped with the Malpassuti (di Tortona) (?) arms and quadruple-ruled in blind. Title and ex libris of Isabella Sofia Commercati (c.1800) added to the recto and verso of the first and last leaves respectively. Light blue watered silk endpapers with bookplates of Pamela and Raymond Lister and Michael Tomkinson, a.e.g. In folding box. A charming pocket-sized liturgical work, apparently not corresponding to any of the principal liturgical books. Ff 1-19 contain a calendar of saints. The only irregular Saints appearing here are Saint Petronius, indicating a Bolognan provenance, Mark the Evangelist and the apostle Barnabas. Ff 20-51v comprise the Mass of the Virgin. The Confiteor, Misereatur and Blessing are followed by the Pericopes arranged in chronological order (John 1, 1-14; Luke 1, 26-37; Matthew 2, 1-12; Mark 16, 14-20). The striking and colourful fullpage illumination marks the start of the Mass of the Virgin. It opens with psalm 44, before moving onto a farced Gloria with additional tropes specifically for the Marian mass, a collect, epistle, gradual, the Nicene Creed, Ave Maria, Eucharistic prayer II, the Preface of Mary, Sanctus, Agnus, Benedictus, Salve Regina, the Marian antiphons, Psalm 90, prayers of Saint Augustine, and on the Passion. Ff 51v-81 contains the prayers of St Brigit on the passion of Christ and 81v-85 of St. Anselm. Ff 86-134 contain the seven penitential psalms and litanies beginning with a lovely elaborate illuminated letter, then follow prayers of St Bernard from ff 135-138r. Ff 138v to the end give the prayers used at the Lateran Basilica in Rome and for papal indulgences. Originally written for 'Jacopo,' whose name appears several times in the text in the same hand, reference to St Anselm, if the Archbishop of Canterbury, dates the book to after 1494, when Anselm was canonized by Pope Alexander VI. The small size of the book indicates private use, albeit at public celebrations, and the arms and initials within the fullpage illumination a lay origin. The clear and elegant calligraphy - the very regular rotunda script indicating a high-end scribal production for a wealthy patron - and style of illumination point towards by the circle of the famed calligrapher Sallando - though this is not his hand - and the illuminator Marmitta, both of whom were working in Bologna from the last decade of the 15th century, and who made use of a palette of strong, dark colours and foliage. The N.M. monogram at the foot may indicate an earlier member of the Malpassuti family.While we have been unable to trace the Comercati family, the Malpassuti family originate from Tortona in Lombardy.

"Albert's principal importance for the history of modern science derives from the role he played in rediscovering Aristotle and introducing Greek and Arabic science into the universities of the Middle Ages ... Albert's early identification as a precursor of modern science undoubtedly stemmed from his empiricist methodology, which he learned from Aristotle but which he practised with a skill unsurpassed by any other Schoolman ... He stated that evidence based on sense perception is the most secure and is superior to reasoning without experimentation. Similarly he noted that a conclusion that is inconsistent with the evidence cannot be believed and that a principle that does not agree with sense experience is really no principle at all" (DSB). - Ohne das Titelblatt. - Erste 7 Bll. mit restaur.

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.

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.)

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 H�rus 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 lie�. 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. �bersetzern gelang es ihm zahlreiche literarisch bedeutsame Werke im Erstdruck herauszubringen. Kein deutscher in Spanien t�tiger Inkunabeldrucker hatte so enge Beziehungen zu seiner Heimat, wie Paul Hurus. Mehrfach reiste er nach S�ddeutschland. Nach seinem letzten Druck im Jahre 1499 kehrte er in seine Vaterstadt Konstanz zur�ck und wurde 1505 in den Rat der Stadt gew�hlt (Geldner, 1970, II, 273ff).

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.

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 - [Bookseller: liber.antiqua*]

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 Waldseem�ller 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.

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.

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.

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 Piet�, 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 � to 43 � 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 Wolfenb�ttel 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. 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 [Bookseller: Jeffrey D.

Lorenzo Polizzotto 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.

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. [Bookseller: Jeffrey D.
