| Chinese Title: CH'IU YING [QIU YING]: PAINTINGS OF BEAUTIFULCHINESE WOMEN..
|
. [Japan 19th century]. Hand scroll, silk brocade outer cloth, ribbon tie, ivory clip, painted on fine hand-made paper some with crushed mica powder, giving a sparkling look, very long 27.5 x 6m.48 cm. length,very good, clean,22 color paintings.. A most charming and lovely Nanga school painted long scroll. The work shows the more tropical looking foliage of South China. The work is entirely devoted to Chinese beautiful women of the Ming dynasty. This work was done after the painted hand-scroll work done by the most celebrated Qiu Ying [1495-1522]. It contains some twenty-two scenes depicting the most celebrated beauties of Chinese history. Each is delicately painted in pastels, with a steady and fine hand in very thin outline. The surrounding scenery is beautifully executed in much detail, as are the architectural accommodations. Each painting is preceded by the name of the lady, and a brief comment about her charms and celebrity. Each is clad the most stunning and beautiful garments, elaborate coiffeur, some hold various kinds of fans, One lady plays a long-thin flute while serenading a Phoenix. Another sits while playing her lute while a white crane observes, others draw and paint scrolls or screens, some write in books, Lovely altars are depicted with small Buddhist statues, Chinese books and other scholar's desk articles. One shows a most pious lady saying her prayers while on a lovely mat with a censor adjacent. * BIBLIOGRAPHY: Andrew Pekarik: THE THIRTY-SIX IMMORTAL WOMEN POETS. Our item seems to be related to this, in that it reflects a common theme and bond. While the Japanese emulated much of Chinese culture and traditions, this book offers a good example of what and how the Japanese thought of such works as the Qiu Ying scroll. * Color scans can be sent by email.

Contemporary vellum over wooden boards, sides richly blind tooled in panel design, comprising in inner panel 2 naked male and female figures, with brass protective strips and 2 brass clasps. With fine large woodcut printer's device on recto of last leaf, and numerous large and smaller white flowered woodcut initials. (264) lvs. Bound with: PERSIUS. (Opera) cum tribus commentariis. Venice, Giovanni Tacuino de Tridino, 1499, 4 November. With white geometric woodcut printer's device on verso of penultimate leaf, and fine woodcut on title, showing the author lecturing, flanked by his commentators working at their desks. (64) lvs.- JUVENALIS. (Opera) cum commento Ioannus Britannici. Reggio Emilia, Francesco de Mazalibus, 1503. With woodcut, showing a satyr shaking a book at scholars and chasing them out of town, at the head of text, and with some white flowered woodcut initials. (143) lvs. Superb Humanist "Sammelband" with the collected works of three classical authors, in a fine contemporary Strasbourg binding, cf. Krisby 147. The three works also are typographical harmonious, with text in a well-sized Roman type, surrounded on three sides by the commentaries printed in a more compact smaller type, in the first and third work including fine Greek types. For Horace these are the 5th century pseudo-Acron scholia and the commentaries by the 3rd century scholar Porphyrion, and by two 15th century humanists: Christophoro Landino and Antonio Mancinelli. The Persius appears here for the first time with the notes by the three 15th century Italians: Giovanni Britannico, Bartelomeo Fonti, and Giovanni Bonardi. The present Reggio Emilia imprint of the Juvenal is the second edition only of Britannico's commentary, and is so rare that it was unknown to Schweiger. Splendid copy, from the library of the Fürstenberg family.- (18th century ms. paper title-label on spine; ms. titles on foredge; 2 bifolia sl. foxed).

DRAFT DOCUMENT
|
|
| Draft of a memorandum of the settlement of a dispute or grievance and the aftermath. Italy (probably Ferrara), c.
|
Size: 295 x 205mm. Written in an italic documentary hand. 1495. The numerous changes to the text which are rather roughly executed indicate that the document is a draft and not a fair copy. According to the document, twenty months ago a compromise was made between Hercules (Ercole) and Angela d'Este of Ferrara, spouses, together with "nepotes" [this word can mean grandsons or nephews] of the Duke of Ferrara on the side of his brother on one side of the case and Francis Grippius of Milan on the other side of the case: "Mensibus iam viginti peractis factum fuit compromisum inter dominos Herculem et Angelam iugales estenses et nepotes illustrissimi domini Ducis ferrarie ex parte fratris ex una parte et dominum franciscum Grippium mediolanensem ex alia". The process was finished and four months passed, but whereas one side responded immediately, the other side, in order to drag out the matter ("ut rem traheret"), neglected to respond. So the aforementioned spouses made an appeal to the senate and brought back a letter directed to the judges to the effect that the opposing party, under penalty of decree, should expedite and terminate the case within one month. A notice of the aforementioned letter was given to the judges. The duke is not named but he must have been Ercole I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara 1471-1505. Another Ercole d'Este, Lord of San Martino in Rio, married Angela Sforza, daughter of a cousin of Isabella of Aragon. She was born in 1479, married in 1491 and died in 1497 in Ferrara.Thus the document would hgave been written between 1491 and 1497. In excellent condition.

RECVEIL DE CHOSES MEMORABLES.
|
|
| Französische Handschrift des 18. Jahrhunderts in brauner Tinte auf Papier, einspaltig, zu 24 bis 29 Zeilen,
|
(1) weißes Bl., 342 (nur anfangs numerierte) Seiten, (2) weiße Bl., Blattgröße 22 x 17 cm, nicht datiert (das sechseitige Register später hinzugefügt), in einem Lederband der Zeit auf fünf unechten Bünden, mit goldgeprägtem Rückenschild und reicher Rückenvergoldung, Stehkantenvergoldung, dreiseitiger Rotschnitt und marmorierte Vorsätze (Kanten berieben, Gelenke mit Einrissen, die vordere Decke mit kl. Fehlstellen im Bezug). Die erste Textseite beginnt mit der Überschrift 'Secunda miscellaneorum Chilias'. Die Sprache des Kommentars ist französisch, die überaus zahlreichen Zitate aber sind in lateinischer, italienischer, griechischer und seltener auch in spanischer Originalsprache wiedergegeben. Die einzelnen Miszellen, Sinnsprüche, Annotationen, Kommentare und Apercus sind von 1 bis 1000 durchnummeriert und ergeben als "Sammlung merk-würdiger Dinge" eine typische Arbeit des 18. Jahrhunderts : ein positiv gesinntes Spiel mit Wissen und Bildung, eine philosophische Lagebeurteilung, die sich bisweilen witzig, bisweilen ernst, immer aber voller esprit, der klassisch-antiken und zeitgenössischen Literatur bedient, um Aufklärung zu betreiben. Entsprechend reicht die Auswahl der Autoren von der griechischen und lateinischen Klassik, über die etablierten Geistesgrößen der Renaissance wie Peucer oder Macrobius, bis hin zu den 'modernen' Reiseschriftstellern wie Pyrard, Pietro de la Valle und Tavernier. Die ersten 30 Miszellen behandeln Holland, es folgen einige Anmerkungen zu Gräbern und Bestattungsriten, dann Ausführungen zur französischen Geschichte und Topographie, zu Inschriften und Neuigkeiten, wie einer ewigen Flamme in der Nähe von Grenoble. Zu den häufiger vorkommenden Themen gehören Kirchengeschichte und Religion (Papsttum, Jesuiten, Jansenismus, Atheismus) und es werden auch irrationale Phänomene wie Talismänner, Horoskope und Prophezeiungen behandelt - alles immer wieder unterbrochen von den unterschiedlichsten Aphorismen. So wird berichtet, daß ein Gesandter im fernen Sudan eine arme Frau, der er auf der Straße begegnete, fragte, warum sie in der einen Hand Feuer und in der anderen Wasser trage, zur Antwort erhielt, sie trage das Feuer um das Paradies zu verbrennen und Wasser, um die Flammen der Hölle zu löschen. Viele der Aphorismen durchzieht eine solche freigeistige Ironie: zitiert wird etwa eine Inschrift eines Hauses in Villeneve "Vivent les lys, vive bourbon, vive Henry quatre de ce nom, vive cekuy qui pour sa reverence a fait poser ici les armoiries de France (1495). Ein aufmerksamer Leser des vorliegenden Manuskriptes hatte bereits im 19. Jahrhundert auf einem kl. Notizzettel, der sich auf dem Vorsatz verso findet, bemerkt : "une vaste compilation d'extraits et d'études de nombreux ouvrages curieux et peu connus ... Outre la valeur de cette documentation, elle nous revèle la tournure d'esprit d'un lettré du 18ième siècle". Die erste Textseite und Seite 25 mit dem Stempel 'Bibliothèque de la Davière'; stellenweise kl. Tintenflecke, eine Seite alt hinterlegt.

De multangularum omnium & regularium figurarum descriptine, liber hactenus desideratus. De invenienda longitudinis locorum differentia, aliter quàm per lunares eclipses, etiam dato quovis tempore, liber admodum singularis. Planisphaerium geographicum, quo tum longitudinis atque latitudinis differentiae, tum directae locorum deprehenduntur elongationes.. Paris: apud Simonem Colinaeum, 1544. Collation: Folio: ( 6 A-B6 C-E8 F-H6, 60 leaves. Roman letter, title within a strapwork border, woodcut decorations and diagrams in the text (see below). Condition: 906 x 212mm. Wormhole in title with slight loss in the woodcut border, light foxing and browning, mostly confined to the margins; a clean and fresh copy. Binding: Contemporary limp vellum, manuscript lettering on spine and lower edge. Some light wear, wormholes to lower cover, ties lacking. Provenance: Old circular library stamp in blank margin of title erased; bookseller's ticket of Malvasia, Milan. References: Mortimer 229; Adams F479; Norman 795 (bound with Cardano, Artis Magnae); Renouard Colines pp. 393-395; Morison, Four centuries of fine printing, figs 109-114. First edition. ¶ An interesting collection of treatises on circle squaring and scientific instruments and one of the monuments of French sixteenth-century typography. It comes late in the output of Simon de Colines (d. 1546), 'one of the key figures in the transormation of the printed book... His books show a refreshing awareness of type and related typographic decoration and an overall artfullness in book design' (Joseph Blumenthal, Art of the printed book (1973) p. 15). Oronce Finé himself designed the illustrations and some of the decorations and initials, while other initials are probably by Geoffroy Tory (1480-1533). 'Although he made few original contributions to science, Fine's numerous scientific works helped to popularize the traditional mathematics and Ptolemaic astronomy taught in the universities of his day. In the first two of the five teatises in this collection Fine attempted to find a more precise value of (; the remaining three deal with the geometry of various polygons, teh determination of longitude from lunar data, and the geography of the planisphere' (Norman 795). Woodcuts: The criblé title-border of strapwork ornament is similar in style to that designed by Finé for Colines and first used on the Arithmetica of Martnez Siliceo in 1526. The block for this 1544 border passed to Michel de Vascosan and occurs on his Le Féron of 1555. The ornamentation includes an initial D containing the Dauphiné arms encircled by Finé's name, 'Orontivs', first used in his 1536 edition of Euclid. There is also a criblé dolphin headpiece possibly also by Finé; the Colines criblé initials attributed to Geoffroy Tory; and a second head- and tailpiece in another style. There are 42 woodcut illustrations, mostly diagrams decorated with florets, but including 8 large cuts of instruments. The florets, the birds in the cut on F6v and the sleeping dog on H2r are all characteristic of Finé's illustrations for his own books. Literature: A.F.

| Maler und Graphiker (1868–1932). Eigenhändige Postkarte mit Unterschrift und Federzeichnung.

Berlin, 19. Januar (19)16 Qu.-8°. 1 1/2 S. Im Zusammenhang mit Slevogts intensiver Beschäftigung mit dem Thema "Indianer" hochinteressantes Dokument. Der Künstler schreibt an den Münchner Antiquar Emil Hirsch in der Karlstraße 6, den er mit der Recherche nach historischen Indianermythen beauftragt hatte. Hirsch hatte ihm die "Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva España", den Erlebnisberich der Kämpfe gegen die Ureinwohner Mexikos des Bernal Díaz del Castillo (1495–1584) beschafft (vgl. KNLL IV, 624): "Sehr geehrter Herr Hirsch! Also auch Sie haben kein Glück mit den alten Indianergeschichten? - ich konnte inzwischen nur einiges wenige hier auftreiben, u. bin noch immer für derartiges Material sehr empfänglich. Den Diaz de Castillo habe ich nun erhalten – die Märchen u. Atala von René [?] noch nicht! - Für Ihre "Nachrichten" dazu bin ich Ihnen dankbar! Was nun die beiden Radierungen betrifft, so ist die eine Eigentum des Dargestellten,- die andere einstweilen nur für einige Freunde u. Bekannte abgedruckt worden. Wenn jedoch hierin m. Erwerbssinn sprechen sollte, werde ich mich Ihres "Vertriebes" erinnern. Mit den besten Grüßen Ihr ergebener Max Slevogt.

8vo. 50 Bll.num., 2 Bll.nnum., 368 Bll.num., 20 Bll.nnum., das letzte weiss. Mit Holzschnitt-Druckermarke auf Titel. Schweinsleder-Holzdeckelband der Zeit mit Platten- und Rollenstempel-Blindpressung auf beiden Deckeln und zwei Schliessen (kleine Wurmspur im Vorderdeckel, untere Schließe defekt).. Vierte Kölner Ausgabe. Das Werk ist eine der wichtigsten Quellen für die portugiesischen Entdeckungsreisen nach Indien und Brasilien. "In this important classical history the author has inserted a most valuable account of the discoveries of the Portuguese navigators, such as Cabral, Cortereal, Magellan, Vasco da Gama and Gaspar de Lemos The work of Osorius belongs to the classics of Portuguese Colonial history in Africa and India. It details the events under the rule of King Manuel (1495-1521). He also occupies himself with the history of Missions" (Cox I, 15 nach Maggs No. 519). Osorio (1506-1580) war Bischof von Silves (Algarve) und Berater des Königs. Aufgrund seines flüssigen lateinischen Schreibstils erhielt er den Beinamen "portugiesischer Cicero". Der Einband zeigt auf dem Vorderdeckel eine Platte mit einer Darstellung der Ausgiessung des heiligen Geistes, sie ist unten links monogrammiert "I P". Die Platte auf dem Rückdeckel zeigt eine Mutter mit Kindern, einen Bettler beschenkend. Haebler (I, 332 f.) sieht in dem Buchbinder I P einen Görlitzer Buchbinder; beide Platten sind nicht bei Haebler verzeichnet, passen aber sowohl in Format als auch Dekor zu den dort aufgeführten. - Titel etwas gebräunt und mit Besitzeintrag am oberen Rand, erste und letzte Blätter mit minimaler Wurmspur im Falz, sonst sauber und gut erhalten. - VD 16, O-1364; vgl.

Philippus Pincius, para Lucantonio Giunta 1495, 3 de noviembre, Venecia: 20 hojas, 253 folios. [Signaturas: A8, a8, b4, c-l8, m10, n10, A-K8, L10, aa-ii8.] Encuadernación original en piel sobre tabla con el lomo rehecho de antiguo. Hierros secos en los planos, florones y filetes. Los cuadernos c y d con mancha antigua en el ángulo superior derecho y suciedad evidente. Restauraciones marginales Goff L247. HC 10141*. Essling 34. Pellechet Ms 7216 (7157). IGI 5780. IBE 3532. BMC V 496. Segunda edición con el texto anotado y al cuidado de Marco Antonio Sabellico. Ilustrado con los mismos tacos que la edición precedente de 1493, estos grabados tuvieron tanto éxito que se fueron reproduciendo hasta 1533. Las grandes maderas que enmarcan el inicio de los capítulos fueron utilizados ya en 1490 para la ilustración de la Biblia de Venecia. La primera edición de las Decadas de Tito Livio es de Roma: Sweynheym y Pannartz 1469.La Historia de Roma desde su fundación de Tito Livio es uno de los libros que fundan a su vez la literatura histórica: fue admirada por Ovidio, Virgilio, Petronio. Séneca, el gran Tácito, Lucano, Silio Itálico, Valerio Máximo, Floro y así Justino, Dión Casio, Orosio y Casiodoro y todos los antiguos que se dedicaron a escribir sobre historia de Roma. Ab Urbe condita quedó como la mejor historia de la Roma republicana, como la mejor escrita y como la vivaz descripción del desarrollo de una nación y de un sentimiento nacional. La fama del libro de Livio fue considerable también durante la Edad Media y desde Prisciano hasta el renacimiento petrarqueso fue la fuenta de la que manó y corrió la historia de la ciudad de Roma. Con Petrarca todo cambió: Livio fue considerado el historiador por antonomasia y el texto que podía hacer renacer el interés por los clásico. El propio Petrarca copió, anotó y completó manuscritos de Livio y con él se llegó al cénit del interés y de la moda humanista por el Ab Urbe condita, con lo que casi todos los humanistas pusieron su grano de interés en comentar y anotar los libros livianos: Lovatti, Beccadelli, Valla, Bruni, Poggio, Beato Renano, Gelenio y todos los grandes editores posteriores quedaron prendados de la grandeza de estilo y la profundidad de historiador de Tito Livio.

(143) lvs. Superb Humanist "Sammelband" with the collected works of three classical authors, in a fine contemporary Strasbourg binding, cf. Krisby 147. The three works also are typographical harmonious, with text in a well-sized Roman type, surrounded on three sides by the commentaries printed in a more compact smaller type, in the first and third work including fine Greek types. For Horace these are the 5th century pseudo-Acron scholia and the commentaries by the 3rd century scholar Porphyrion, and by two 15th century humanists: Christophoro Landino and Antonio Mancinelli. The Persius appears here for the first time with the notes by the three 15th century Italians: Giovanni Britannico, Bartelomeo Fonti, and Giovanni Bonardi. The present Reggio Emilia imprint of the Juvenal is the second edition only of Britannico's commentary, and is so rare that it was unknown to Schweiger.

Ce traité versifié de diététique comprenant 580 distiques répartis sur 180 stances, est dû à un médecin mantouan, Battista Fiera (1469-1538), qui est également l'auteur d'un commentaire de Galien et de divers traités sur le pouls, la peste, la bile et le phlegme. Cet ouvrage énumère les aliments dont les humains se nourrissent: fruits, graines, boissons, condiments, viandes, poissons, coquillages, épices, légumes, etc. Pour chacun des mets on trouve l'indication de sa valeur nutritive et ses propriétés diététiques; ce tableau donne une information extrêmement détaillée sur l'alimentation normale d'un italien du nord à la fin du quinzième siècle.

Small folio. Nineteenth century red calf, spine ribbed and with gilt title, sides blind-stamped, g.e., preserved in slipcase. With woodcut printer's device at the end of the preliminaries and at the end of the book, full-page woodcut of the Virgin manifesting herself to S. Bernard, full-page woodcut of the Annunciation at the beginning of the main text, full-page woodcut of the Saviour on verso of last blank, and 18 woodcuts in text, all hand coloured, several half-page, showing the Circumcision, Jesus presented in the Temple, Mary meeting Elisabeth, etc., the smaller ones showing Christ raising from his grave, the Holy Trinity, Saints, etc., initials supplied in red, rubricated throughout. (4), CCLXXIIII (= 275), (1) lvs. Richly and most beautifully illustrated Dutch incunable, containing the sermons of S. Bernard of Clairvaux, both for the winter and summer time, published by Pieter van Os van Breda, the first printer at Zwolle. Nine woodcuts appear here for the first time: the entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Descent into Limbo, the Resurrection, Pentecost, the Assumption, and three cuts of saints. The fine full-page woodcuts of the Annunciation, and of the Blessed Virgin appeared in earlier Zwolle editions and have been produced by woodcutters at Zwolle. The other woodcuts used were bought by Pieter van Os from the stocks of Gerard Leeu at Gouda, and Jacob Bellaert at Haarlem. The small woodcut printer's device shows two shields hanging from a branch with a six-pointed star inbetween, the left shield bearing the coat-of-arms of Zwolle and the right shield the printer's mark. The book is finely printed in a firm Gothic type, in two columns, with 40 lines to a page. Some errors occur in the numbering of the leaves, LI is skipped but corrected by LVII present twice, idem LXXX present three times, corrected by skipping LXXXI and LXXXIII, but between CCLXVII and CCLXVIII an extra CCLXI occurs which brings the total on 275 instead of 274. The woodcuts were studied by Hind and Conway, Hind drawing special attention to the title-woodcut of S. Bernard's vision, which he considered one of the finest Dutch woodcuts of the period. Good copy. With the bookplate of Dyson-Perrins.- (Binding sl. rubbed; a few stains).

In 4 ( mm.210 x 158) ,20 cc., l'ultima bianca,testo in gotico, 40 linee per pagina,legatura in pergamena molle cinquecentesca, riccamente illustrato con 65 incisioni di notevole fattura ( sette a mezza pagina e 58 di minori dimensioni) , 33 bei capilettera ornati, e 7 diagrammi di carattere astrologico; due forellini di tarlo, uno strappetto restaurato all'ultima carta bianca,in ottimo esemplare puro ad ampi margini e su carta frusciante. Seconda edizione, ristampa linea per linea dell'editio princeps impressa nel 1488 per i tipi dello stesso Ratdolt, frutto della pregevole traduzione dall'arabico al castigliano e poi in latino di Juan de Sevilla e Domingo Gundisalvo. Albumasar ( Abu Masar Jaafar b. Muhammad b. Umar al-Balhi) nato a Balkh, nel Khorasan attorno al 787 d.C, fu unanimemente riconosciuto come uno dei massimi astronomi della sua epoca. La sua teoria sulla formazione delle maree in connessione con le influenze astrali ebbe straordinario successo, consegnandolo a fama imperitura. L'opera, divisa in quattro sezioni e realizzata attraverso una selezione degli scritti astronomici e astrologici di Albumasar ( compiuta probabilmente ad opera dei traduttori medesimi) rappresenta una vera e propria summa del suo pensiero. Partendo dall'analisi dei quattro elementi, si passa poi ad una disamina della diversa morfologia dei pianeti e alle loro influenze sui fenomeni naturali nonche' sugli eventi catastrofici, come terremoti ed inondazioni per terminare con una attenta indagine sulle varie case astrologiche e sulla validita' prognostica dell'interpretazione dei movimenti degli astri.

It contains some twenty-two scenes depicting the most celebrated beauties of Chinese history. Each is delicately painted in pastels, with a steady and fine hand in very thin outline. The surrounding scenery is beautifully executed in much detail, as are the architectural accommodations.

Each is clad the most stunning and beautiful garments, elaborate coiffeur, some hold various kinds of fans, One lady plays a long-thin flute while serenading a Phoenix. Another sits while playing her lute while a white crane observes, others draw and paint scrolls or screens, some write in books, Lovely altars are depicted with small Buddhist statues, Chinese books and other scholar's desk articles. One shows a most pious lady saying her prayers while on a lovely mat with a censor adjacent. * BIBLIOGRAPHY: Andrew Pekarik: THE THIRTY-SIX IMMORTAL WOMEN POETS. Our item seems to be related to this, in that it reflects a common theme and bond. While the Japanese emulated much of Chinese culture and traditions, this book offers a good example of what and how the Japanese thought of such works as the Qiu Ying scroll. * Color scans can be sent by email.Images displayed may not be the actual copy in stock for sale at any given time; if you want to see the exact image of the book or edition in stock, please request this by email and an image will be returned to you by attachment. !!

First edition to contain a description of the ancient Greek drinking game, cottabus, and one of the earliest - if not the first - printed depiction of the apparatus used to play it. The game described here is a version whereby wine was thrown onto a pair of scales, which dipped down to touch figures below. This version of the game may be apocryphal, resulting from a later interpretation; [cf. Sartori, Das Kottabos-Spiel 1893.] The edition has not been dated with certainty. BMC dated it "for convenience" to c.1497, the last year its type was used, and Sheppard dated it to c.1495.Plautus (ca.254-184 B.C.)was an early Roman dramatist who adapted the Greek New Comedy for the Roman stage. Translations of his work in ancient times were not necessarily exact, but he did seem to follow Greek convention in using stock characters and he often borrowed from the plots of his Greek models. Over 130 plays were attributed to him so that by the first century B.C. even the likes of Varro wrote an analytical work, distinguishing the true plays from those by impostors; 20 are extant today. Plautus, along with Terence, is considered the primary model of ancient comedy to Western Europe.

First leaf a bit darkened, first 6 leaves w. neat repair to upper right coerner, far from affecting teaxt, last few leaves w. some brown spots, otherwise only occasional and not heavy brownspotting. Some near cont. marginal annotations, some shaved. Last end-papers renewed. Pasted down front end-paper w. long inscription in Italian, quoting from Giovio about Pomponazzi and his use of Aphrodisias' text (ab. 1800). A neat and solid copy. Large woodcut opening initial, capital spaces throughout. 91 leaves (of 92, -lacking first blank). The exceedingly scarce very first edition of Alexander of Aphrodisias' hugely influential commentary on Aristotle's "De Anima"; the enormously important first printing of Girolamo Donato's (1457-1511) translation from the Greek, which came to influence almost all original philosophy of the Renaissance with its hugely controversial exposition of the impossibility of the immortality of the individual soul, interpreted from Aristotle's "De Anima" -"On the Soul"- one of the most influential and commented on philosophical works of all times. If one question is to be pointed out as the main philosophical one of the Renaissance, it is that of the soul's relation to reason or intelligence. "This was the question of his (Pomponazzi's) time.
