| Questiones Subtilissime Alberti De Saxonia in Libros De Celo Et Mundo

Orinus de Luna, Papiensis, 1497, 9 June. Hieronymus Surianus, ed. Folio. a-h6, i3. [-i4 blank] 51 (of 52 lacks last blank]ff. 19th c. paste-paper boards, titling piece, some rubbing; foxing throughout, light marginal dampstain on last 4 leaves; last leaf restored in upper outer margin with some loss of text. Albert of Saxony (ca. 1316-1390), Master of Arts at Paris, then Rector of the University of Vienna, and finally Bishop of Halberstadt (Germany). As a logician, he was at the forefront of the movement that expanded the analysis of language based on the properties of terms, especially their reference (in Latin: suppositio), but also in the exploration of new fields of logic, especially the theory of consequences. As a natural philosopher, he worked in the tradition of John Buridan and contributed to the spread of Parisian natural philosophy throughout Italy and central Europe. "Albert of Saxony's treatises on physics consist of a "Tractatus proportionum" and questions on Aristotle's "Physics", "De Coelo", and "De generatione et corruptione". These contain, in a clear, precise, and concise form, an explanation of numerous ideas which exercised great influence on the development of modern science, which ideas, however, were not wholly personal to Albert of Helmstädt, many of the most important of them being derived from his master, Jean Buridan. He abandoned the old Peripatetic dynamics which ascribed the movement of projectiles to disturbed air. With Buridan he placed the cause of this movement in an impetus put into the projectile by the person who threw it; the part he assigned to this impetus is very like that which we now attribute to living force. With Buridan he considered that the heavens were not moved by intelligences, but, like projectiles, by the impetus which God gave them when He created them. With Buridan he saw in the increase of impetus the reason of the acceleration in the fall of a heavy body.

Koberger, Anton
|
|
| Biblia Latina Cum Postillis Nicolai De Lyra Et Additionibus Pauli Burgensis. [Latin Bible]
|
Anton Koberger, 1497. Very Good Hardcover. Folio-over 12"-15" tall. Being the third part of Koberger's massive Latin Bible, consisting of the complete latter prophets (Isaiah to Malachi), with the addition of the First & Second Book of Maccabees, accompanied by the glosses of Nicolaus de Lyra. Folio, 318 leaves (including the last blank), printed in gothic type with 12 woodcut illustrations. The volume has been carefully collated and is complete. It is bound in original blind-stamped calf over wooden boards and is professionally rebacked. One brassclasp with catch, with the remains of another; margins of first 12 leaves and last 10 leaves frayed, not affecting text; some leaves with dampstains. This is the 3rd part of the monumental Latin Bible issued in four parts by the celebrated Nuremberg printer. The four parts are rarely found together, and this third part contains the complete text of the latter Prophets (Isaiah to Malachi), with the addition of the First and Second Book of Maccabees. The Biblical text is printed in double columns in a handsome gothic type, surrounded by the massive commentary of Nocolas de Lyra, printed in a smaller gothic type. The French theologian Nicolas de Lyra (ca. 1270-1349) was the best equipped Biblical scholar of the Middle Ages since he knew Hebrew and was familiar with the commentaries of many of the Jewish expositors. He was among the first to break away from the then current allegoristic interpretations of the Bible, his objective being to arrive at the exact and literal sense of the Scriptural text. It has been said of Nicolas that no one down to his day since the time of St. Jerome had contributed as much to the understanding of the Old Testament, and his commentary quickly established itself as the favorate source of Biblical exegesis.

Hermann Bumgart, 1497, 7 y 25 de septiembre, Colonia: 88 hojas, A-B8, C-D4, E8, F-G4, H8, J-K4, L8, M-R4. Letra gótica a línea tirada. Rubricado. Encuadernado en piel del siglo xix. Hain 5853*. Copinger 1846. BSB-Ink C-707; GW 7849. IGI VI 3277-A. No en el British Museum Catalogue. No en IBE. Nota bene: De institutione novae vitae is attributed in this edition to Isidorus Hispalensis. Attribution to (Pseudo-) Valerius Bergidensis by BSB-Ink (entered in GW as Pseudo-Ambrosius, De vita perfecta: cf. CIBN B-944). The anonymous text De beatitudine claustrali (or 'Dilige stare in claustro'), introduced by a quotation of Petrus Blesensis, is identified by CIBN J-22 as the work of Cultrificis Cuarta edición (la primera se publicó en 1479). Es una defensa jurídica e histórica de los privilegios de los franciscanos. Responde a los ataques de los párrocos que ven en la pobreza y en la mendicidad una forma de bombardear la confortable vida del cura medieval.

Orinus de Luna,Papiensis Venice: 1497, 9 June. Folio. a-h6,i3.[-i4 blank] 51 (of 52 lacks last blank]ff. 19th c. paste-paper boards, titling piece, some rubbing; foxing throughout, light marginal dampstain on last 4 leaves; last leaf restored in upper outer margin with some loss of text. Albert of Saxony (ca. 1316-1390), Master of Arts at Paris, then Rector of the University of Vienna, and finally Bishop of Halberstadt (Germany). As a logician, he was at the forefront of the movement that expanded the analysis of language based on the properties of terms, especially their reference (in Latin: suppositio), but also in the exploration of new fields of logic, especially the theory of consequences. As a natural philosopher, he worked in the tradition of John Buridan and contributed to the spread of Parisian natural philosophy throughout Italy and central Europe."Albert of Saxony's treatises on physics consist of a "Tractatus proportionum" and questions on Aristotle's "Physics", "De Coelo", and "De generatione et corruptione". These contain, in a clear, precise, and concise form, an explanation of numerous ideas which exercised great influence on the development of modern science, which ideas, however, were not wholly personal to Albert of HelmstŠdt, many of the most important of them being derived from his master, Jean Buridan. He abandoned the old Peripatetic dynamics which ascribed the movement of projectiles to disturbed air. With Buridan he placed the cause of this movement in an impetus put into the projectile by the person who threw it; the part he assigned to this impetus is very like that which we now attribute to living force. With Buridan he considered that the heavens were not moved by intelligences, but, like projectiles, by the impetus which God gave them when He created them. With Buridan he saw in the increase of impetus the reason of the acceleration in the fall of a heavy body. He further taught that the velocity of a falling weight increased in proportion either to the space traversed from the beginning of the fall or to the time elapsed, but he did not decide between these two.The equilibrium of the earth and seas is the subject of a favourite theory of Albert's. The entire terrestrial element is in equilibrium when its centre of gravity coincides with the centre of the world. Moreover, the terrestrial mass has not everywhere the same density, so that its centre of gravity does not coincide with the centre of its figure. Thus the lightest part of the earth is more distant from the centre of gravity of the earth than the heaviest part. The erosion produced by rivers constantly draws terrestrial particles from the continents to the bosom of the sea. This erosion, which, by scooping out the valleys, has shaped the mountains, constantly displaces the centre of gravity of the terrestrial mass, and this mass is in motion to bring back the centre of gravity of the earth to the centre of its figure. Through this motion the submerged portions of the earth constantly push upwards the emerged parts, which are incessantly being eaten away and afterwards replaced by the submerged parts. At the beginning of the sixteenth century this theory of Albert's strongly attracted the attention of Leonardo da Vinci, and it was to confirm it that he devoted himself to numerous observations of fossils. Albert of Saxony, moreover, ascribed the precession of the equinoxes to the similar very slow movement of the terrestrial element."

Bernard Quaritch Ltd. Cuarta edición del Breviarium de Arnau de Vilanova. Arnau de Vilanova (València, c.1238 - Genova c.1311). Alquimista, astrólogo, teólogo y médico. El nombre de Vilanova proviene del hecho que posiblemente su lugar de nacimiento fuera el Grau de València, que es ese momento se conocia con el nombre de Vilanova del Grau.Se introdujo en el estudio de la Biblia, del Talmud y del rabinismo en sus lenguas originales, así como de la lengua árabe y parte de la cultura musulmana. Estudió medicina en Montpellier y desde 1281 fue médico de Pedro el Grande y de sus sucesores. Aficionado a la teología, frecuentó a los franciscanos espirituales, lo que le condujo a un exaltado misticismo, hasta ver como inminentes la venida del Anticristo y el fin del mundo. Fue condenado por los teólogos de la Sorbona, aunque el papa mitigó su condena, aconsejándole que se dedicara exclusivamente a la medicina. Fue un médico excelente, razón por la cual se toleraron sus visiones delirantes. Sus numerosas obras médicas (se conservan más de setenta), escritas en latín, abarcan desde opúsculos a versiones de obras árabes, sobre todo de Avicena, aunque sus conocimientos médicos se basaban en el empirismo, mezcla de Galeno y Avicena.

| Ten printer's specimens, copies of curious alchemical woodblock engravings from the 'Hortus Sanitatis' and other early sources, with captioned title and price.
|
Undated: early nineteenth century. On one side each of two leaves of thin laid paper (quality of tissue). Both leaves are good: lightly creased and spotted on aged paper. The first leaf (roughly 19 x 18 cm) carries six illustrations, arranged 2 x 3, and with the captions reading: 'Price 2s/6d | a way of purifying sea water'; 'Price 1s/6d | preparation Acid Sulphuric'; 'Price of block | 1s/- | Physician Galenical School'; 'Price 1/- | cold still'; 'Price 1/- | Pelican'; '2s/6d | distillation'. Printers blue pencil around third woodcut. The second leaf (roughly 24 x 18.5 cm) carries four illustrations, arranged 2 x 2, the largest two being roughly 8 x 6 cm. The captions read: 'Bufonites' (from the 'Hortus Sanitatis' of 1497, showing a man extracting a bezoar stone from the head of a frog); 'preparation medicinal earths'; 'obtaining draconites' and 'Hippocrates sleeve'. Along one margin: 'Please return specimens'. The 'Bufonites' engraving is certainly a skillful copy, and it may be that the cuts were originally produced for a Roxburghe-Club-type publication, before joining the printer's stock.

| Biblia Latina Cum Postillis Nicolai De Lyra Et Additionibus Pauli Burgensis. [Latin Bible]
|
Anton Koberger, 1497. Very Good Hardcover. Folio-over 12"-15" tall. Being the third part of Koberger's massive Latin Bible, consisting of the complete latter prophets (Isaiah to Malachi), with the addition of the First & Second Book of Maccabees, accompanied by the glosses of Nicolaus de Lyra. Folio, 318 leaves (including the last blank), printed in gothic type with 12 woodcut illustrations. The volume has been carefully collated and is complete. It is bound in original blind-stamped calf over wooden boards and is professionally rebacked. One brassclasp with catch, with the remains of another; margins of first 12 leaves and last 10 leaves frayed, not affecting text; some leaves with dampstains. This is the 3rd part of the monumental Latin Bible issued in four parts by the celebrated Nuremberg printer. The four parts are rarely found together, and this third part contains the complete text of the latter Prophets (Isaiah to Malachi), with the addition of the First and Second Book of Maccabees. The Biblical text is printed in double columns in a handsome gothic type, surrounded by the massive commentary of Nocolas de Lyra, printed in a smaller gothic type. The French theologian Nicolas de Lyra (ca. 1270-1349) was the best equipped Biblical scholar of the Middle Ages since he knew Hebrew and was familiar with the commentaries of many of the Jewish expositors. He was among the first to break away from the then current allegoristic interpretations of the Bible, his objective being to arrive at the exact and literal sense of the Scriptural text. It has been said of Nicolas that no one down to his day since the time of St. Jerome had contributed as much to the understanding of the Old Testament, and his commentary quickly established itself as the favorate source of Biblical exegesis.

Initials suppled in red, paragraph marks, underlinings and initial strokes also in red. 4to. (207 x 140mm.). 24 leaves. 36 lines, gothic letter. 20th century brown morocco. 1497]. The 13th edition of this very popular anti-Jewish tract which first appeared in 1474. "Alphonsus Boni Hominis claims only to have translated the Epistola, but it seems he himself was the author drawing largely from another tract in Arabic" (Encyclopaedia Judaica). Although the imprint of Cologne, 1499, appears at the end, this must be wrong because another copy was bound at Gröningen in 1497. Provenance. Inscription on title-page of W. Attfield.

HOMER.

|
| Ilias. [Trans. Laurentius Valla].
|
Brescia, Baptista Farfengus, for Franciscus Laurinus, 6 Sept. 1497. 1497 Folio, 90 leaves, printed in roman letter; capital spaces, that on 3a with guide-letter; contemporary MS annotations (see below); a few light marginal stains, but generally in fresh, crisp condition (unwashed), in recent tan niger, lettered in gilt. This is the Italian humanist Lorenzo Valla’s prose translation of the Iliad, the first complete rendering of either the Iliad or the Odyssey to achieve print in the renaissance. It first appeared in 1474 (anticipating the Florence 1488-89 edition of the Greek text by fourteen years). This is the second edition, with a new introduction. Written in a stylish Latin prose, this version was one of George Chapman’s sources for his English translation of 1598–1611. Chapman claimed to have translated from the Greek but even in his own day it was buzzed abroad that he used a Latin version. “Though he refers to it disparagingly, [Chapman] used it more than he chose to admit (cf. Book iv. 308-9). Valla: ‘Illi veteres …hac disciplina, hoc more, hoc animo in bellis usi, multas urbes multaque oppida expugnaverunt’.Chapman imitates Valla’s epanaphora: ‘And with this discipline’, said he, ‘this form, these minds, this trust, Our ancestors have walls and towns laid level with the dust’.” – H.C. Fay, “George Chapman’s Translation of Homer’s Iliad”, The Review of English Studies, New Series, Vol. 2, No. 6 (Apr., 1951), pp. 121-128.This copy was read from beginning to end by a contemporary reader who has added annotations (mostly subject headings) throughout in a cursive humanist hand.H8775; BMC VII 986; Goff H312 recording only five complete copies in America (Huntington, Yale, Maryland Diocesan Library, Phyllis & John Gordon, and the Lilly Library).

|
BRANT, Sebastian. Stultifera navis. Strassburg: Johann Grüninger, 1 June 1497. Small quarto, period-style full dark brown calf, raised bands; ff. 109 (of 112). $32,000. Fourth Latin edition of "a most important woodcut book, having a great influence on the art of book illustration... One of the greatest monuments in literary history" (Rosenbach), with a total of 118 woodcut illustrations from 78 blocks. Text and illustrations complete, with three last leaves of index only in fine facsimile. "The Ship of Fools is the most important of a long line of moralizing works in which the weaknesses and vices of mankind are satirized as follies. The tradition goes back to early medieval times both in England and on the Continent... Composed in popular humorous verse and illustrated by a remarkable series of woodcuts... the book was an immediate success. Brant was a humanist-the book is full of classical allusions-but he was undoubtedly conservative in his wish to strengthen the existing order. Nevertheless, there is much criticism and a strong feeling that man, in striving for salvation, deals directly with God and not necessarily with the Church: a foretaste of the movement for reform. Incidentally, the book also contains the first literary reference to the discovery of America [The Columbus Letter had been published in 1493 by the printer of the 1494 German first edition]. The Ship of Fools was the first original work by a German which passed into world literature. Brant's book played an important part in European literature, and helped to blaze the trail that leads from medieval allegory to modern satire, drama and the novel of character" (PMM 37). The Ship of Fools first appeared in German in 1494 and in Latin in 1497. Its immediate popularity resulted in numerous unauthorized editions, of which this is the third in Latin, following the authorized first in Latin by only three months. The Latin version was the basis for the subsequent English, French and Dutch translations. The illustrations copy those used in the German and authorized Latin editions published in Basel, though in a horizontal rather than vertical format and reversing the original images. Y4-6, the last three leaves only, comprising Locher's Ad numeros suos and the register, supplied in neat facsimile on old paper (all original illustrations are present). Goff B-1089. HC 3749. GW 5057. Near-contemporary ink marginalia and underlinings in a neat hand. R1v with red ink marks on initials. Repair to upper corner of O1. A few running titles closely trimmed. Faint dampstain to upper margin, infrequent foxing. Handsome binding fine. A wonderful incunable volume with extraordinary 15-century woodcuts throughout.

PANORMITANUS DE TUDESCHIS ( Nicolaus)

|
| [Lectura super V libris Decretalium] - Tertia pars sup[er] secundo decretaliu[m].
|
Baptistam de Tortis, Venetiis, 1497 die 28 Januarij. volume 5 (on 7), folio (42 X 28 cm/16.5 x 11 inches), 131 pp., signature aaa - qqq 8 - rrr 3, round gothic type, full brown contemporary calf on bevelled wood boards (small wears and rubbings, posterior spine with some leather on the upper and lower spine-ends), spine raised on 5 larges doubles bands, around sides framing made with 4 stamped fillets each which surround roll or stamped fleurons, in center the frame is divided in losange by triple stamped fillets which contain fleurons, traces of clasps and small fragment of paper stuck on the first side. Rare edition of the fifth book of the Latin comments, on the third part of the second book of the Decretales of Gregorius IX, given by Nicolaus de Tudeschis (Catania 1386 - Palermo 1445) named later Panormitanus. He was first abbot of Santa Maria di Maniace (1425) in Sicilia and became archbishop of Palermo in 1434. He taught the Decretales in Bologna and in Florence and took part in the Council of Siena (1423-1424) and in the Council of Basle in 1433. His comments on the Decretales of Gregorius IX will remain throughout the 15th and 16th century one of the most estimated law treatises. The comments are accompanied here by additions brought in particular by Antonius de Butri and Bernardinus Capitaneus de Landriano. Full complete copy with all its leaves and which has a collation perfectly in conformity with that given by Hain (12318). The first blank leave has in center a rubricated title 'Abbas super Tertia secure' and is also accompanied in the upper part by a handwritten Latin inscription 'Sola Vicendi Ratio Optimum Distended Cupidita'. The leave of colophon is rubricated and carries the large red printer mark of Baptista de Tortis. Marginal printed gloses and also some contemporary handwritten annotations in the blank margins. The Venetian printer, Baptista de Tortis was one of the first printers specialized in law book and the Tortis's round, gothic type found such favor with the early Spanish printers that they copied it for several centuries under the name 'letra de Tortis'. Splendid binding coming from a workshop of the Netherlands of which the decoration and irons are extremely similar to those which were used at the same time by the bookbinder-printers of Louvain in Brabant (Ludovicus Ravenscot?). Small cancellation stamp of the library of Louvain in the blank margin of the second leave. Very fine copy. Cft. Hain 12318 ; Frederick Goff P54, Polain (B) 3850, BSB-Ink T521 ; G.
