August 1497. Type I, II, III und IV.. Einspaltiges, 30-zeiliges Original-Inkunabelblatt mit einem dreiviertelseitigen O-Holzschnitt von Albrecht D�rer (8,3 x 11,5 cm). Mit rotgestrichenen Majuskeln. Blattgr��e: 20 x 14,8 cm. Incunabula text woodcut leaf.. Originalholzschnitt von Albrecht D�rer, der in der lateinischen Erstausgabe vom 1. M�rz 1497 erstmals gedruckt wurde, auf einem Originalblatt der zweiten lateinischen Ausgabe J. Bergmann de Olpe. Sebastian Brant hat D�rers Holzschnitt das Motto "Zum Lob der Philosophie" vorangestellt. Der Text preist die Vorz�ge der Philosophie als zuverl�ssige Begleiterin des Menschen, beklagt aber deren �ffentlichen Ansehen. Der Holzschnitt zeigt wie ihre Anh�nger von den Narren in den Sack gesteckt werden. Nachdem der junge D�rer bei Michael Wohlgemuth in N�rnberg das Maler- und Stecherhandwerk erlernt hatte, begab sich der 19-j�hrige D�rer im Jahre 1490 auf die Wanderschaft. Zwischen dem Fr�hjahr 1492 und dem Herbst 1493 arbeitete er in Basel, und am 8. August 1492 erschien dort sein erster von ihm signierter und heute noch in Basel erhaltener Eingangsholzschnitt zu den "Epistolae beati Hieronymi". 1493 erschien der "Ritter vom Turn" und 1494 das "Narrenschiff" mit seinen Holzschnitten. Da nicht alle Holzschnitte im Narrenschiff von D�rer stammten, blieb seine Autorenschaft lange verborgen. 1951 entdeckte der Kunsthistoriker Friedrich Winkler die "Signatur" D�rers in den Holzschnitten. D�rer setzte auf jede Narrenkappe "eine Reihe von Schellen, die sich wie ein Scheitel �ber den Sch�del zwischen den Ohren" hinzieht (Winkler: D�rer und die Illustrationen zum Narrenschiff, 12). Diese Unterscheidung ist von einigen Einschr�nkungen abgesehen, bis heute g�ltig. (vgl. Cornelia Schneider, Das Narrenschiff 2004, 140). Die Besonderheit der Holzschnitte D�rers liegt in ihrer realistischen Fassung. Niemals zuvor sind im altdeutschen Holzschnitt die Landschaft, der Innenraum, das Strassenbild, der Bauernhof, die sch�ne Aussicht, das Dickicht eines Geb�sches oder die weite Fl�che des Meeres Hauptmotive von Bildern gewesen und mit so erstaunlicher �berzeugungskraft wiedergegeben worden. Von den 105 Holzschnitten des "Narrenschiffs" werden heute 73 dem Hauptmeister D�rer zugeordnet. Es hat keinen folgenreicheren Schritt in der Geschichte des Holzschnitts gegeben, als die Einf�hrung des Realismus. Ohne kr�ftige Binnenmodellierung war sie nicht m�glich. Die Holzschnitt-Produktion der zwei Jahrzehnte vorher, in denen Tausende von Buchbildern in Deutschland gerissen worden sind, ist noch dem Umrissholzschnitt verhaftet. (vgl. Winkler 1951) Die dargestellten Menschen erhalten durch D�rer erstmals verschiedenen Ausdruck: "Ein h�chst individuell abgestuftes Pand�monium von Dummheit, Unversch�mtheit, Verlegenheit, T�ppischkeit, Verschlagenheit, Genu�sucht und Herabgekommenheit tut sich auf. B�rger und Bauern, Ritter und Kaufleute, Pfaffen und Schreiber, Handwerker und Bauherrn, Landstreicher und Stubengelehrte, Aerzte und Quacksalber, Geizh�lse und Gecken, Vetteln und Huren ziehen vor�ber" (Fr.

First edition of a collection of Platonic theological texts by the 4th-century BC writer Iamblichus, an instrumental figure in disseminating Neoplatonism. Due to the urging of his patron Cosimo de Medici, whose Florentine circle clamored for Hermetic texts, Marsilio Ficino translated and edited the collection. Aldus! handsome imprint thus became a vital source for the transmission of Neoplatonism during the Renaissance.In his translation, Ficino emphasized the Hermetic passages, due to his veneration for the Egyptian Hermes Trismegistus. Iamblichus himself approached these passages carefully, cautioning the reader that many works circulating under Hermes! name were not written by him. !Throughout De mysteriis Iamblichus stresses the necessity of ritual in religion and the power of contemplation. It is possible for the initiated to !go beyond bodies and matter in service of the gods, being made one with the gods by a power which transcends the cosmos! (5.20-22). This philosophy of transcendence by the spirit was taken over in its entirety by Ficino!

Compiled by Hartmann Schedel, the text comprised a history of the world from creation up to the date of publication, and was illustrated with numerous woodcuts - a few from blocks designed by Albrecht Durer. The volume contained one of the earliest printed maps of Northern Europe, and the first authentic views of many cities, plus numerous portraits of popes, kings, etc. Three years after the Koberger editions, Johann Schonsperger of Augsburg issued a plagiarised or pirated small folio edition of the German translation, with woodcuts in reduced size, copied roughly from the Koberger blocks. The following year he printed a Latin edition, from which the present leaf (which is quite plain, with no illustrations or rubrication) was taken.       [Bookseller: Kay Craddock - Antiquarian Bookseller Pt]  9.   Check availability:     ILAB   Link/Print   Dante, Alighieri La Divina Commedia       .

Eine ikonographische und mentalit�tsgeschichtliche Studie, ausgehend von Hans Holbein d.J. "The Ambassadors".       (Studien zur dt. Kunstgeschichte, 177). Hildesheim: Olms 2009. - 524 S. mit 8 farbigen und 88 s/w-Abb. Kart. *neuwertig*. Als singul�re Erscheinung innerhalb seiner Gattung stellte das Doppelportr�t �The Ambassadors� von Hans Holbein d. J. (1497/98-1543) mit seiner Vielzahl deutbarer Einzelelemente Generationen von Forschern vor eine hermeneutische Herausforderung. Unter R�ckgriff auf bislang unerschlossenes Quellenmaterial bietet die vorliegende Studie eine �berzeugende Neuinterpretation dieses Hauptwerks der europ�ischen Kunstgeschichte. Das Gem�lde wird dabei erstmals in einen gr��eren geistesgeschichtlichen Kontext gesetzt, der es erlaubt, sich dem Sinnzentrum des Werkes unter Einbeziehung zentraler Teilaspekte stringent anzun�hern. Konkret nachgewiesen wird beispielsweise der Bezug des Gem�ldes zur Kr�nung Anna Boleyns am 1. Juni 1533, deren Zeugen und politische Advokaten die „Gesandten" waren. In Holbeins Gem�lde reflektieren sie die politischen Implikationen dieses Ereignisses und dokumentieren zugleich den eigenen Status sowie ihre diplomatischen Erfolge auf dem Hintergrund der europ�ischen Politik und religionspolitischen Bewegungen in der ersten H�lfte des 16. Jahrhunderts. Indem die vorliegende Studie tief in Mentalit�t, Denkstrukturen sowie das Wissenschaftsverst�ndnis humanistischer Gelehrter und politisch einflussreicher Personen eindringt, stellt sie ungeachtet ihres wissenschaftlichen Anspruchs eine fesselnde Lekt�re dar.       [Bookseller: Antiquariat Bergische B�cherstube Mewes]  13.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   Dante, Alighieri La Divina Commedia [Unbekannter Einband]       - Incunabula 612 Seiten, Holzschnitte Danthe Alighieri: Divina Commedia; 1497 Dante Alighieri: Die goettliche Kommoedie Mit dem Kommentar von Christophoro Landino Inkunabel Gedruckt 1497 Venedig von Pietro Quarengi, 11 October 1497 Editiert von Pietro de la Figino 6., illustrierte Auflage, In Italienisch 612 Seiten mit einem ganzseitigen Holzschnitt und 99 Holzschnitten im Text a10, 2a-z8 &8 A-K8 L-M10 N6 [-2a1, -N6] Seitennummerierung immer verso: [10], [II] - CCXCVII Blaetter (612 Seiten) 46 Zeilen Text und 60-61 Zeilen Kommentar 1.

Er widmete sich in Volterra und seiner Vaterstadt den klassischen Studien, �bernahm 1457 die Professur der Poesie und Beredsamkeit in Florenz. Er wurde gef�rdert von Piero de Medici, der Landino die Erziehung seines 1449 und 1453 geborenen S�hne Lorenzo de Medici und Giuliano I. de Medici anvertraute. Er erhielt sp�ter die Sekret�rstelle der Florentiner Signorie.

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.

" The Ship of Fools " first appeared at Basel printed in German under the title " Narrensciff " in 1494, followed in Latin in 1497. Its immediate popularity and universal appeal resulted in numerous pirated editions, of which this is the third in Latin. The woodcuts illustrating this edition derive from the influential Basel series. While the Strassburg cuts depend on the original Basel series for their iconography, they differ considerably in their artistic treatment, particularly in their dark tones and in the attention paid to the landscape backgrounds. They first appeared in Gruninger's German edition of 1494. Arguably the most famous humanistic work of its time, it exercised a tremendous influence in England, where it was first published in 1509, as well as on the continent.

Esemplare in ottimo stato di consevazione, con le silografie in ottima morsura. Prima celebre edizione stampata a Strasburgo, quarta assoluta, della versione latina del Narrenschiff di Sebastian Brant, impressa, con il titolo di Navis stultifera, il 1 giugno del 1497 nell'officina di Johann Gr�ninger, a soli tre mesi di distanza dalla prima stampa latina, apparsa a Basilea il 1 marzo dello stesso anno, presso Johann Bergmann von Olpe, e per i cui tipi aveva gi� visto la luce, l'11 febbraio del 1494, la princeps in lingua tedesca. Nato a Strasburgo nel 1458, Brant comp� i propri studi a Basilea, presso la cui Universit� fu poi titolare delle cattedre di Diritto e di Poesia. Nel 1500 fece ritorno nella sua citt� natale, della quale divenne sindaco nel 1501, e successivamente cancelliere. Autore di epigrammi e altre composizioni poetiche sia in tedesco sia in latino, la sua fama � legata in primo luogo al Narrenschiff (La nave dei folli), satira moraleggiante con la quale inizia la letteratura della stultitia, destinata a notevolissima fortuna nel Cinquecento. L'opera si suddivide, nella edizione originaria del 1494, in 113 brani in versi ottonari, ognuno dei quali � esplicato da una xilografia, a rappresentare le svariate forme che pu� assumere la stoltezza umana, tutte presenti a bordo della nave comandata da Venere, e diretta alla volta della favoleggiata Narragonia, il Paese della Follia. Tra le follie oggetto di maggiori attacchi spicca quella impersonificata dall'erudito pedante, destinata anche essa a grande fortuna, come emblematica della satira cinquecentesca diventer� la figura di Sankt Grobian, il protettore degli uomini volgari e villani, e che proprio nel Narrenschiff fa la sua prima apparizione letteraria. Nei suoi versi, spesso con rime impure, Brant ricorre sia ai modelli della satira classica - in primo luogo Giovenale-, sia alle diffuse raccolte di proverbi e di exempla moralia, preferendo un registro stilistico adatto anche al pubblico non dotto. L�opera ebbe un notevolissimo successo editoriale, al quale contribu� senza alcun dubbio il ricco apparato iconografico a corredo, e da tempo la critica � concorde sulla attribuzione di una parte delle xilografie al giovane Albrecht D�rer, al tempo attivo come �illustrator� a Basilea e i cui rapporti diretti con Brant sono ampiamente documentati. Le restanti xilografie sono state attribuite al Haintz-Nar Meister e al Gnad-Her Meister, mentre restano ancora ignoti i nomi di altri due artisti che contribuirono alla iniziativa. La versione latina, non sempre fedele all�originale tedesco, � dovuta a Jakob Locher Philomusus (1471-1528), poeta allievo dello stesso Brant, e che nella sua edizione della Navis stultifera inserisce, oltre al Prologus e una epistola al tipografo Johann Bergmann von Olpe a sua firma, anche alcuni epigrammi e distici di propria composizione. Fu stampata ben quattro volte nei primi tre mesi del 1497, a Basilea, Norimberga, Augsburg e infine Strasburgo, con lievi variazioni nel numero delle xilografie che integrano e esplicano il testo, e per le quali furono prevalentemente utilizzati gli stessi legni dell'edizione in lingua tedesca. La traduzione di Locher, di cui si ebbero numerose edizioni successive, costituisce la base delle versioni in altre lingue dell'opera di Brant, e di cui particolarmente precoce fu quella in francese di Pierre Rivi�re (Parigi 1497). First Strassburg edition, the fourth Latin one, of Brant�s humanistic poem Stultifera navis (The ship of Fools), translated by his pupil Jacob Locher. The book was first published in 1494 in original German version, became quickly popular and was translated and reprinted many times. Amazing copy in original German binding in contemporary blind stamped half pigskin over wooden boards, with original brass clasp and the manuscript title �Narragonica Navis� on the front cover. Illustrated by 118 woodcuts in very strong impression, little repair to the blank margin of the last three leaves. H 3749; GW 5057; BMC I, 112, IGI 2047; N. Hartl, Die ""Stultifera navis"". J.

Beautiful printed edition of Saint Augustine's commentary on Psalter; "Explanatio psalmorum" (uniform title). This is the fourth appearance of the text and was based on the Amerbach edition of 1489. "Aurelius Augustinus [more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," often simply "Augustine"] (354-430 C.E.): rhetor, Christian Neoplatonist, North African Bishop, Doctor of the Roman Catholic Church. One of the decisive developments in the western philosophical tradition was the eventually widespread merging of the Greek philosophical tradition and the Judeo-Christian religious and scriptural traditions. Augustine is one of the main figures through and by whom this merging was accomplished. He is, as well, one of the towering figures of medieval philosophy whose authority and thought came to exert a pervasive and enduring influence well into the modern period (e.g. Descartes and especially Malebranche), and even up to the present day, especially among those sympathetic to the religious tradition which he helped to shape (e.g. Plantinga 1992; Adams 1999). But even for those who do not share this sympathy, there is much in Augustine's thought that is worthy of serious philosophical attention. Augustine is not only one of the major sources whereby classical philosophy in general and Neoplatonism in particular enter into the mainstream of early and subsequent medieval philosophy, but there are significant contributions of his own that emerge from his modification of that Greco-Roman inheritance, e.g., his subtle accounts of belief and authority, his account of knowledge and illumination, his emphasis upon the importance and centrality of the will, and his focus upon a new way of conceptualizing the phenomena of human history, just to cite a few of the more conspicuous examples" (Stanford Enc. of Philosophy).

Rare first Aldine edition of this celebrated Greek-Latin dictionary, originally composed by Johannes Crastonus (ca. 1420-1498) on the basis of an older dictionary by Constantino Lascaris. Together with Marcus Musurus, Aldus has re-published the first edition of Crastonus's work which had been printed by Bonus Accursius in Milan ca. 1478. A second edition was printed in 1483 by Dionysius Bertholus in Vicenza, the first dictionary with the word Lexicon in its title.In his preface (edited by Renouard, pp. 13-4) Aldus doesn't mention the name of the author Crastonus, reason why Aldus is often considered to be the author. He is, however, only responsible for composing the Latin index at the end. In this index Aldus refers to the number of the leaf and line of the Greek dictionary. It is strange, however, that the leaves are not numbered. In his preface (f. 202v) Aldus gives the advice to start with numbering the leaves: 'nota tibi in extremitate libri arithmeticis numeris singulas chartes' ! And indeed our copy is numbered in a contemporary hand from 1-200. Added are several Greek philological texts:Contents:- f. 1r: Title.- f. 1v: Preface by Aldus: 'Aldus Manutius Romanus studiosis omnibus S.P.D.', concluded by two Greek poems by Scipio Fortiquerre (1466-1515) and Markos Musuros (1470-1517).- f. 2r-171v: Greek-Latin dictionary.- f. 171v-181r: (on the title: Cyrillus, but is:) Johannes Philoponus, Collectio dictionum quae differunt significatu secundum ordinem alphabeti.- f. 181v-198r: Ammonius, Hermias, De differentia dictionum per literarum ordinem.

Folio.. 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.#11;"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 Helmst!dt, 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.#11;#11;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."

Beroaldus (1453-1505) one of the most eminent scholars of the fifteenth century, was born in Bologna. He was brilliant scholar, a popular lecturer, and was rewarded with civic and academic honors. "He was fond of the pleasures of the table, and passionately addicted to play, to which he sacrificed all he was worth. He was an ardent votary of the fair sex; and thought no pains nor experience too great for accomplishing his wishes." At length he married and changed his ways. #11;This is the first edition of these two short works.The first is a dispute between three brothers - a philosopher, a physician and an orator - whose father has bequeathed his patrimony to the one whose profession is the most useful to society. Each of the three defends his own profession, first the philosopher, second the physician, and third the orator; but it is, of course, the orator who gets the inheritance because, even though his profession is probably least useful, he is best at defending it. The orator exposes the philosopher's and the physician's fallacies drawing on sources such as Pythagoras, Empedocles, Plato, Hippocrates, Galenus, Avicenna, etc. #11;The second work is an epistle on statecraft and on the optimal form of government. "Filippo Beroaldo begins his De optimo statu with a typology of legitimate regimes, speaking of the status popularis, the status paucarum and even the status unius when refering to monarchy."#11;"Filippo Beroaldo endorses the same conclusions (as Campano) in a treatise to which he actually gave the title De optimo statu. The best state, he argues, can be attained only if our our ruler or leading magistrate 'remains oblivious of his own good, and ensures that he acts in everything he does in such a way as to promote the public benefit." #11;[Political Innovation and Conceptual Change.

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.

St. Aurelij Augustini Prima Quinquagena (Explanatio psalmorum)       Johann Amerbach Basel 1497 17th century vellum (minor wear to head of spine) Folio . Beautiful printed edition of Saint Augustine's commentary on Psalter; "Explanatio psalmorum" (uniform title). This is the fourth appearance of the text and was based on the Amerbach edition of 1489. "Aurelius Augustinus [more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," often simply "Augustine"] (354-430 C.E.): rhetor, Christian Neoplatonist, North African Bishop, Doctor of the Roman Catholic Church. One of the decisive developments in the western philosophical tradition was the eventually widespread merging of the Greek philosophical tradition and the Judeo-Christian religious and scriptural traditions. Augustine is one of the main figures through and by whom this merging was accomplished. He is, as well, one of the towering figures of medieval philosophy whose authority and thought came to exert a pervasive and enduring influence well into the modern period (e.g. Descartes and especially Malebranche), and even up to the present day, especially among those sympathetic to the religious tradition which he helped to shape (e.g. Plantinga 1992; Adams 1999). But even for those who do not share this sympathy, there is much in Augustine's thought that is worthy of serious philosophical attention. Augustine is not only one of the major sources whereby classical philosophy in general and Neoplatonism in particular enter into the mainstream of early and subsequent medieval philosophy, but there are significant contributions of his own that emerge from his modification of that Greco-Roman inheritance, e.g., his subtle accounts of belief and authority, his account of knowledge and illumination, his emphasis upon the importance and centrality of the will, and his focus upon a new way of conceptualizing the phenomena of human history, just to cite a few of the more conspicuous examples" (Stanford Enc. of Philosophy).

Minor, faded waterstaining in upper margin and some finger soiling of first few quires, and occasional spotting. Very good overall. First edition of a collection of Platonic theological texts by the 4th-century BC writer Iamblichus, an instrumental figure in disseminating Neoplatonism. Due to the urging of his patron Cosimo de Medici, whose Florentine circle clamored for Hermetic texts, Marsilio Ficino translated and edited the collection. Aldus? handsome imprint thus became a vital source for the transmission of Neoplatonism during the Renaissance.In his translation, Ficino emphasized the Hermetic passages, due to his veneration for the Egyptian Hermes Trismegistus. Iamblichus himself approached these passages carefully, cautioning the reader that many works circulating under Hermes? name were not written by him. "Throughout De mysteriis Iamblichus stresses the necessity of ritual in religion and the power of contemplation. It is possible for the initiated to ?go beyond bodies and matter in service of the gods, being made one with the gods by a power which transcends the cosmos? (5.20-22). This philosophy of transcendence by the spirit was taken over in its entirety by Ficino" (BPH, Christ, 263).*Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica, Christ, Plato, Hermes Trismegistus, 1990; BPH, Ways of Hermes, 2002; HC*9358; BMC V, 557; Goff J-216; IDL 2615.

New This study of Johannine exegesis in the sixteenth century covers nearly every important commentator on John from the first half of the century, and examines the medieval and patristic traditions on which they drew. But while comprehensive in its scope, this book centers on the John commentaryof Wolfgang Musculus (1497-1563), an influential leader of the Protestant Reformation in the cities of Augsburg and Bern. As a theologian and biblical scholar, he authored a large number of theological and exegetical works which remained popular well into the seventeenth century. Despite hisinfluence, however, Musculus has been virtually ignored by modern scholarship on the Reformation.

He studied law and Greek, then decided to study philosophy ( patronage of Piero di Cosimo de Medici). Landino was a member of the Platonic Academy founded by Marsilio Ficino in Florence. He was the tutor of Lorenzo de Medici and his brother Giuliano. Landino also held public office, first as chancellor of the Guelf party (1467) and later as scriptor of public letters for the Signoria.He wrote three works framed as philosophical dialogues: De anima De vera nobilitate and the Disputationes Camaldulenses. As the lady "Xandra" Landino published three volumes of Latin poems.Of special importance to the Renaissance, Landino prepared commentaries on the Aeneid and The Divine Comedy .To promote the use of vernacular Italian, Landino held lectures on Petrarch and translated and published Plinys Historia naturalis) and Giovanni Simonettas Latin life of Francesco Sforza . Dante Alighieri: (1265 - 1321) Italian poet, prose writer, literary theorist, moral philosopher, and political thinker. He is best known for the monumental epic poem La commedia, later named La divina commedia (The Divine Comedy). Dantes Divine Comedy, a great work of medieval literature, is a profound Christian vision of mans temporal and eternal destiny. On its most personal level, it draws on the poets own experience of exile from his native city of Florence; on its most comprehensive level, it may be read as an allegory, taking the form of a journey through hell, purgatory, and paradise. By choosing to write his poem in Italian rather than in Latin, Dante decisively influenced the course of literary development. Italian became the literary language in western Europe for several centuries. In addition to poetry Dante wrote important theoretical works ranging from discussions of rhetoric to moral philosophy and political thought.

St. Aurelij Augustini Prima Quinquagena (Explanatio psalmorum)       Johann Amerbach, Basel 1497 - 17th century vellum (minor wear to head of spine) Folio . Beautiful printed edition of Saint Augustine's commentary on Psalter; "Explanatio psalmorum" (uniform title). This is the fourth appearance of the text and was based on the Amerbach edition of 1489. "Aurelius Augustinus [more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," often simply "Augustine"] (354-430 C.E.): rhetor, Christian Neoplatonist, North African Bishop, Doctor of the Roman Catholic Church. One of the decisive developments in the western philosophical tradition was the eventually widespread merging of the Greek philosophical tradition and the Judeo-Christian religious and scriptural traditions. Augustine is one of the main figures through and by whom this merging was accomplished. He is, as well, one of the towering figures of medieval philosophy whose authority and thought came to exert a pervasive and enduring influence well into the modern period (e.g. Descartes and especially Malebranche), and even up to the present day, especially among those sympathetic to the religious tradition which he helped to shape (e.g. Plantinga 1992; Adams 1999). But even for those who do not share this sympathy, there is much in Augustine's thought that is worthy of serious philosophical attention. Augustine is not only one of the major sources whereby classical philosophy in general and Neoplatonism in particular enter into the mainstream of early and subsequent medieval philosophy, but there are significant contributions of his own that emerge from his modification of that Greco-Roman inheritance, e.g., his subtle accounts of belief and authority, his account of knowledge and illumination, his emphasis upon the importance and centrality of the will, and his focus upon a new way of conceptualizing the phenomena of human history, just to cite a few of the more conspicuous examples" (Stanford Enc. of Philosophy). Fine copy of this handsome example of early Basel printing 3 parts and "Tabula" in 1 volume. [426] leaves. Gothic type; double column; capital spaces with guide letters.

CCLXVII, r. la stupenda impresa tipogr. del De Rossi, su fondo nero. Nel testo 180 vignette silogr. e gran numero di iniziali ornate su sei righe d'altezza. Splendido incunabulo in volgare, considerato tra i piu' bei figurati del Rinascimento italiano. Prima edizione, completa della Vita del Santo, che manca alla grande maggioranza degli esemplari, compreso quello della Pierpont Morgan Library. Lo stampatore Lorenzo de Rossi, nativo di Valenza Po (Alessandria), si stabili' a Ferrara alla meta' degli anni Ottanta, stampandovi fino al 1497. Oltre al San Girolamo, impresse il De Claris Mulieribus, straordinari figurati tra i piu' ambiti del Quattrocento italiano. Della silogr. al verso del quinto f. si conoscono quattro varianti, che testimoniano come il progetto iniziale subisse delle modifiche in corso d'opera: quella con San Gerolamo nello studio, la piu' comune, quella con la dedica a Ercole d'Este, come nel presente esemplare, con la dedica ad Augusto Barbadico o a Eleonora d'Este. Le due dediche alla famiglia d'Este fanno pensare ad un loro diretto coinvolgimento nel finanziamento dell'opera, di cui pero' non rimane traccia.

Bellissima prova, nella quarta variante di sei descritta dal Meder, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana irregolarmente rifilata al rame, leggere abrasioni visibili al verso, nel complesso in ottimo stato di conservazione. La raffigurazione di temi legati al mondo rurale ed agli aspetti della vita campestre costituisce un elemento costante della grafica Duereriana. Ricorre sia nelle piccole opere giovanili, come questa, che nelle opere del secondo decennio del �500. Inoltre il Duerer riprese il tema nel suo trattato di architettura e prospettiva, pubblicato postumo nel 1525. Le stampe di genere del Duerer ebbero un grande successo; il Vasari nella biografia dell'artista rileva� fece molti abiti diversi alla fiamminga in diverse carte stampate piccole, di villane e villani..�. Engraving, 1497 circa, signed with monogram at lower centre. Beautiful work, in the fourth state of the six described by Meder, printed on contemporary laid paper without watermark, irregularly trimmed to the platemark, light abrasion that can be seen on verso, otherwise in good condition. The representation of country life and all those aspects connected to rural life are a constant element in Duerer 's graphic production. They can be found both in his early works, like this one, and in those he realized in the 20s of the XVI century. Moreover, Duerer included this theme also in his treatise on architecture and perspective, published after his death in 1525. The prints he realized with this theme became very famous; in his biography of the artist, Vasari wrote "he depicted different Flemish clothes in many little prints, with countrymen and women...�.

Anselm is regarded as the founder of scholastic theology. He was canonized in 1494. Included here are his three most famous works, the Cur Deus Homo, a treatise on the atonement, and the Proslogion, and the Monologion, which contain his formulation of the ontological proof of the existence of God (God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived; that than which nothing greater can be conceived must exist; therefore God exists). Although it attracted little interest at the time, the argument has long generated intense debate among philosophers, being taken up by Descartes and Leibnitz, and rejected by Hume and Kant.

Leaf r3 with a piece at the bottom outer corner torn off with some loss of text to the commentary, the Dante's text being intact. A short tear at top of leaf N1 repaired affecting a few words but with no loss of legibility. A small area at top outer corner of the last three leaves (N3,4,5) damaged and repaired with minor loss of text of the Commentary and the Credo.

Generally, the text block is rather clean and unmarked, with strong bright impression of text and woodcuts, with the entire text of La Commedia perfectly legible, and all the 99 textual woodcuts are present and intact. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Although BMC states (erroneously) that this edition is "reprinted from M. Capcasa's 1493 edition, including the cuts and borders", Essling and Fiske both point out (correctly!) that the 99 woodcuts in text are, in fact, from the 18 Nov. 1491 Petrus Cremonensis edition, while the full-page cut at the beginning of Inferno is from the 3 Mar. 1491 Capcasa edition, and the decorative woodcut border surrounding the text of the first page of Inferno is from the 1493 Capcasa edition.

Anselm is regarded as the founder of scholastic theology. He was canonized in 1494. Included here are his three most famous works, the Cur Deus Homo, a treatise on the atonement, and the Proslogion, and the Monologion, which contain his formulation of the ontological proof of the existence of God (God is that than which nothing greater can be conceived; that than which nothing greater can be conceived must exist; therefore God exists). Although it attracted little interest at the time, the argument has long generated intense debate among philosophers, being taken up by Descartes and Leibnitz, and rejected by Hume and Kant.

Originalholzschnitt von Albrecht D�rer auf einem Originalblatt der zweiten lateinischen Ausgabe J. Bergmann de Olpe. Sebastian Brant hat D�rers Holzschnitt das Motto "Mancher, der ritt gern spat und fruh, k�mn er vor seiner Frau dazu, die l��t dem Esel selten Ruh" vorangestellt. Brant verwendet diesen Holzschnitt D�rers in seinem Narrenschiff zweimal. Winkler vermerkt zu diesem Holzschnitt: "F�r beide Kapitel mu�te das Bild dienen, daher vielleicht die geh�ufte Symbolik". (Winkler 1951, S 37) So symbolisiert die Schnecke den langsamen Gang des Tieres, der Hund der dem j�hzornigen und schnaubenden Narr gleicht und die Frau die den Mann am Reiten zu anderen Weibern hindern will. Der Holzschnitt enth�lt neuartige, ausdrucksstarke (Prestel 2004, 96) und pathetische Motive, die durch die "k�mmerliche" (Winkler 1951, 37) Ausf�hrung des Formschneiders vereinfacht werden. Nachdem der junge D�rer bei Michael Wohlgemuth in N�rnberg das Maler- und Stecherhandwerk erlernt hatte, begab sich der 19-j�hrige D�rer im Jahre 1490 auf die Wanderschaft. Zwischen dem Fr�hjahr 1492 und dem Herbst 1493 arbeitete er in Basel, und am 8. August 1492 erschien dort sein erster von ihm signierter und heute noch in Basel erhaltener Eingangsholzschnitt zu den "Epistolae beati Hieronymi". 1493 erschien der "Ritter vom Turn" und 1494 das "Narrenschiff" mit seinen Holzschnitten. Da nicht alle Holzschnitte im Narrenschiff von D�rer stammten, blieb seine Autorenschaft lange verborgen. 1951 entdeckte der Kunsthistoriker Friedrich Winkler die "Signatur" D�rers in den Holzschnitten. D�rer setzte auf jede Narrenkappe "eine Reihe von Schellen, die sich wie ein Scheitel �ber den Sch�del zwischen den Ohren" hinzieht (Winkler: D�rer und die Illustrationen zum Narrenschiff, 12). Diese Unterscheidung ist von einigen Einschr�nkungen abgesehen, bis heute g�ltig. (vgl. Cornelia Schneider, Das Narrenschiff 2004, 140). Die Besonderheit der Holzschnitte D�rers liegt in ihrer realistischen Fassung. Niemals zuvor sind im altdeutschen Holzschnitt die Landschaft, der Innenraum, das Strassenbild, der Bauernhof, die sch�ne Aussicht, das Dickicht eines Geb�sches oder die weite Fl�che des Meeres Hauptmotive von Bildern gewesen und mit so erstaunlicher �berzeugungskraft wiedergegeben worden. Von den 105 Holzschnitten des "Narrenschiffs" werden heute 73 dem Hauptmeister D�rer zugeordnet. Es hat keinen folgenreicheren Schritt in der Geschichte des Holzschnitts gegeben, als die Einf�hrung des Realismus. Ohne kr�ftige Binnenmodellierung war sie nicht m�glich. Die Holzschnitt-Produktion der zwei Jahrzehnte vorher, in denen Tausende von Buchbildern in Deutschland gerissen worden sind, ist noch dem Umrissholzschnitt verhaftet. (vgl. Winkler 1951) Die dargestellten Menschen erhalten durch D�rer erstmals verschiedenen Ausdruck: "Ein h�chst individuell abgestuftes Pand�monium von Dummheit, Unversch�mtheit, Verlegenheit, T�ppischkeit, Verschlagenheit, Genu�sucht und Herabgekommenheit tut sich auf. B�rger und Bauern, Ritter und Kaufleute, Pfaffen und Schreiber, Handwerker und Bauherrn, Landstreicher und Stubengelehrte, Aerzte und Quacksalber, Geizh�lse und Gecken, Vetteln und Huren ziehen vor�ber" (Fr.

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 Helmst�dt, 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."

E' una guida per il confessore, � dedicata al clero e divide le persone in commercianti, medici, vanitosi, orefici, macellai ecc. Il colophon � in fine, il registro � a c. y6 recto e al verso � bianca. Manca la carta numero 8 con segnatura d8. La prima carta (a1) � presente nel nostro esemplare, � bianca al verso e al recto porta solo il titolo "defecerunt" ma presenta una filigrana diversa dalle altre e forse � presa da un' altro esemplare? comunque � molto bella e perfettamente identica all' originale, tuttavia ingenera qualche dubbio a causa della filigrana. Edizione assolutamente molto rara: manca al BMC, HARVARD, BIBLIOTEQUE NATIONALE,POLAIN. GOFF ha un solo esemplare in america, SANDER registra 1 sola vendita e manca a vari grandi cataloghi di BAER, MAGGS compreso il CAT. di HARPER (1930), OLSCHKI n� 53 "MONUMENTA" e OLSCHKI n� 94 "INCUNABOLA TYPOGRAPHICA" nonch� al CAT. n� 24 di ROSENTHAL di Monaco "INCUNABULA" con ben 3500 incunaboli! La carta numerata 2 ha un bel capolettera ornato a fondo nero e il margine bianco basso porta una vecchia integrazione. Ultime carte con lievi difetti ai margini, alcuni aloni e qualche gora appena pi� evidente all' inizio e in fine. Peraltro esemplare bello, ben marginato con qualche chiosa antica e in fine, al verso bianco dell' ultima carta un ex libris manoscritto coevo: "Franciscus et amicorum, illi qui volunt.".
