| Magister Petrus de Aquila...super quatuor libros magistri Sententiarum
|
[colophon: Venetiis: Per Simonem de Luere, 1501]. Binding as above; library rubber-stamps, including on title- and last (blank) page. Light waterstaining throughout. a1-8 with chipping or bumping on corners, more obvious on the lower inner and outer corners, not touching print. Title-page very lightly soiled with a few spots of staining. Two inked ownership inscriptions on title-page; some terse marginalia; inked title on fore-edge.. 4to (22.5 cm, 8.875"). [8], 244 ff. Peter of Aquila (1275-1361) was a Franciscan and bishop of Angelo whose theological acumen earned him the title of "doctor sufficiens," the able doctor, while his devotion to Duns Scotus earned him the cognomen "Scotellus." The present work is a commentary on the sentences of Peter Lombard (ca. 1095-1160), which present "the whole of Christian doctrine in one brief volume on the basis of Scripture, the Fathers, and the Doctors" (NCE). This handsome edition is printed in a round Italian gothic typeface of the sort used for theological works. Guide letters have been printed for initials (unaccomplished); the title-page gives the title above a poem in praise of Peter of Aquila. A table of the questions precedes the text, and at the end is a simply printed register and colophon, with a cipher SL as the printer's mark. The editio princeps of this work was published in 1480, and two other incunable editions preceded this, the first 16th-century edition. This edition is uncommon: we were able to trace only three copies in the U.S.#11; Binding: Deep walnut full calf old style: Round spine with raised bands, accented in gilt and with blind-tooled devices in compartments, and with oxblood leather labels, gilt-lettered; fillets extending onto covers from each band to terminate in trefoils and covers framed in blind double fillets.

HROSWITHA.
|
|
| Opera ... nuper a Conrado Celte inuenta.
|
Nuremberg, Printer for the Sodalitas Celtica [? F. Peypus], 1501. 1501 Sm. folio, roman letter, 82 leaves; with 8 full-page woodcuts, including two by Albrecht Dürer (see below); printer’s device at end, capital spaces with guide letters, a small worm trail in the upper margin of last leaf; a fine, very tall copy (300 x 214 mm.) in dark brown morocco, gilt edges. First edition of the “comedies” and other writings of Hroswitha of Gandersheim. With two full-page woodcut illustrations by Albrecht Dürer (Meder, pp. 279-280; Panofsky, nos. 417 and 418; Dodgson I, 261-63) and five other woodcuts which may be after Dürer, but have also been attributed to Wolf Traut (Dodgson I, 504) and to Dürer’s friend and collaborator Hans von Kulmbach (F. Winkler, H. von Kulmbach, 1959, pp. 33-37, with two reproductions).Hroswitha was a Benedictine nun of Gandersheim in Lower Saxony, born at some time between A.D. 912 and 940. She wrote several poems or metrical Lives of the Saints, but her fame rests principally upon her six religious “comedies” nominally modelled on Terence. These “comedies” occupy an important position in the general history of drama, forming “the visible bridge between the few earlier attempts at utilising the forms of the classical drama for Christian purposes and the miracle plays” (A.W. Ward). They enjoy the added distinction of being the first collection of modern, i.e. non-classical dramas to appear in print. The manuscript (now preserved at Munich) was discovered and edited for this first edition by the great German humanist Conrad Celtes, founder of the literary “sodality” named after him.Five of the woodcuts (one repeated) illustrate the six “comedies”. The other two - both by Dürer himself - represent Celtes presenting his book to the Elector Frederick the Wise of Saxony, three fellow-members of the Sodalitas Celtica in attendance; and Hroswitha presenting a book to the Emperor Otto I in the presence of his niece, Gerberga, Abbess of Gandersheim.“Hroswitha’s connection to the Ottos stems from the fact that her convent was an imperial foundation. The abbess in Hroswitha’s day was a niece of the ruling emperor, with the status of an imperial prince and even the right to mint her own coinage. The wealth and privileges of Gandersheim made it a magnet for aristocratic women entering monastic life. In their case, the Benedictine Rule was relaxed, since they were not required to take the vow of poverty. The strength of the education of the Gandersheim nuns is reflected in Hroswitha, the best Latin writer in Europe in her day. She produced poetry and histories of her convent revealing a thorough mastery of the classical Latin authors in the school tradition. Her best known works, and deservedly so, are her six plays. Aside from being the first expression of non-liturgical drama since late antiquity, Hroswitha’s plays show her ability to draw independently on literary sources not in the school curriculum and to use them her own way, developing a distinctive literary style and outlook. She has two sets of models. One is the collection of saints’ lives celebrating the early Christian martyrs, the desert ascetics, and the sinners they had converted to a life of repentance and austerity. The second is the Roman comedian Terence (195/85-159 BC) ... He is a surprising source for a nun whose protagonists are Christian martyrs, Magdalenes, and virgins. Hroswitha chose Terence because he taught her how to write humorous dialogue and how to manage the flow of events from scene to scene. She ignores or allegorises the racy passages. As for her hagiographical sources, they typically exalt the male saint who counsels virgins and martyrs or who converts harlots. In Hroswitha’s hands, the female characters become the protagonists and the role of their male mentors is downplayed or ignored. The result is a series of plays that are genuinely comic, that play very well on stage, and that have happy endings spiritually. They are entertaining and edifying at the same time. Hroswitha’s use of her sources as a springboard for her own innovations, in style and substance, is as noteworthy as the high literary finish of her plays” - Marcia L. Colish, Medieval Foundations of the Western Intellectual Tradition 400-1400 (Yale University Press, 1997).This is a duplicate from the Georgia Augusta, the university at Göttingen founded by the Elector Georg August (who was also King George II of Great Britain) in 1734; with the eighteenth-century library and duplum stamps on verso of first leaf, “Ex Bibliotheca Regia Acad: Georgiae Aug” and “Dupl.

(In fine:) In Vinegia, nelle case d'Aldo Romano, nel anno MDI del mese di Luglio.. (Venezia, Aldo Manuzio, Luglio 1501), in-8, ff.nn. 192, (segnature a-y8, z4, A8, B4; z4 e A8 bianchi. Completo di 7 ff. di indice e di 4 ff. di errata). Bella legatura 600esca in pergamena rigida, dorso liscio con tassello in pelle. Il testo, che fu curato dal giovane Pietro Bembo da un manoscritto presunto autografo del Poeta, e' diviso in: Sonetti e Canzoni in vita di Madonna Laura (verso del frontesp.), In morte di Madonna Laura (verso f. n3), cioe' Il Canzoniere e Triomphi (v. f. s5). In fine ampio indice di ogni singola composizione. Prima edizione aldina e primo libro in italiano impresso nel carattere corsivo aldino intagliato da Francesco da Bologna, utilizzato solo tre mesi prima per il mitico Virgilio. Ideato e fortemente voluto da Aldo, litalico rivoluziono' larte tipografica, e fu tra le cause principali della diffusione dei libri e della cultura nellEuropa cinquecentesca, favorendo la stampa dei piccoli formati. Qualche tempo dopo la pubblicazione del volume, Aldo si senti' in dovere di rispondere alle critiche sulla correttezza del volume, stampando 4 fogli con segnatura B, nei quali ammise e corresse i pochi errori commessi, non senza una certa vena ironica e polemica. Annuncia tra laltro ai lettori: aspettate in brieve un Dante non men corretto che sia il Petrarcha: anzi tanto piu anchora da dovervi esser caro'. Questi 4 importanti fogli furono aggiunti solo agli esemplari non ancora posti in vendita, e quindi sono presenti in poche copie. Il foglio a2 (inizio del Canzoniere) e' decorato da miniatura di mano contemporanea con una lettera iniziale su tre righe in rosso e blu, un fregio lineare su due lati in rosso e nero, le armi del primo possessore non identificate (una banda azzurro-oro in uno scudo su sfondo rosso, entro cerchio dorato). Bellesemplare, fresco e marginoso, di affascinante edizione di grande importanza filologica e tipografica e di insigne rarita', di uno dei capolavori della letteratura italiana e mondiale di ogni epoca (solo i primi otto fogli presentano arrossature della carta).

Venice: Per Magistrum Petrum de quarenghis Pergomensem April 7, , 1501 woodcut of an angel on the title, large woodcut to head of the first leaf, 3 woodcut diagrams in the text, capital spaces, early manuscript marginalia and annotations, printed in double columns, ff. [76], folio, later vellum, light glue remains from removed bookplate on front pastedown, slightly sprung, fine In this commentary on ‘De Anima’, Aquinas offers the first and most original of his studies of Aristotle. His influential, cogent reading of Aristotle’s notoriously difficult text not only contributes to our understanding of the Greek philosopher but also expresses in full detail Aquinas’s own views on central philosophical topics. Writing at the height of his intellectual powers, Aquinas considers in full detail the nature of the soul, the mind-body problem, the role of the intellect, the character of sensation, and many other related issues. The text was first printed by R. de Novimagio in Venice in 1481, and subsequently in 1485 and 1488. All these editions are scarce. Only three copies are recorded worldwide by OCLC of the present edition of 1501 (Oxford, All Soul’s; Saint Bonaventure and Brigham Young), making this handsome printing very scarce. (Not in Adams)

Juvenal. Persius.
|
|
| Satires
|
Venice, in aedibus Aldi, et Andreae Soceri, August 1501 8vo. ff. [i] 76 [i]. Italic letter. Aldine anchor device on t-p, bookplate of T. Kimball Brooker on pastedown, his stamp on blank preceding t-p. A very good copy in early C19th gilt calf in the style of the C16th, a.e.g., silk marker, spine remounted. Although dated 1501, this is a later edition (c.1515/17) of Juvenal's and Persius' satires. Renouard describes it as 'incontestablement postérieure' because of its foliation and the Aldine device on the title-page (both absent from the first), and because the colophon bears the names of Aldus and Andrea - an association acknowledged only after 1508. The 1501 edition, of which the present text is a truthful copy, was one of the first Aldines to adopt the 'Italic' type, founded on the handwriting of Petrarch by Francesco da Bologna. The book contains the famous sixteen satires written by Juvenal, and six by Persius. Juvenal being the greatest of Roman satirical poets, it is no surprise that Aldus quickly included his work among his beautifully printed publications. Little is known about Juvenal's life. His satires were first published between AD c110 and 127 and are characterised by a bitter and ironical humour directed against the vices of Roman society of the time. The third satire is perhaps the best, containing a wonderfully vivid description of Rome (which inspired Dr Johnson's 'London'), while the sixth, a harsh denunciation of women's vices, is the longest and most virulent. In his six satires, Flaccus Aulus Persius (AD 34-62) displays his stern Stoic morality in a mixture of styles and rather obscure language. A harsh criticism of the poets at the court of Nero is the subject of the first. The others, which are more homilies that satires, deal with topics such as the abuse of prayer (not for obtaining material goods), the damage caused by vice, and the greatness of Cornutus (Persius' Stoic teacher). The exquisite Aldine type makes the (re)reading of these great classics a real pleasure. BM STC It. C16th p. 364. Adams J 772. Brunet III p. 629. Graesse III p. 518. Renouard 29:6. Dibdin II p. 150.

Pietro dell'Aquila (a.k.a., Pietro dell'Aquilla)
|
|
| Magister Petrus de Aquila.super quatuor libros magistri Sententiarum.
|
Per Simonem de Luere 1501], [colophon: Venetiis Peter of Aquila (1275-1361) was a Franciscan and bishop of Angelo whose theological acumen earned him the title of "doctor sufficiens," the able doctor, while his devotion to Duns Scotus earned him the cognomen "Scotellus." The present work is a commentary on the sentences of Peter Lombard (ca. 1095-1160), which present "the whole of Christian doctrine in one brief volume on the basis of Scripture, the Fathers, and the Doctors" (NCE). This handsome edition is printed in a round Italian gothic typeface of the sort used for theological works. Guide letters have been printed for initials (unaccomplished); the title-page gives the title above a poem in praise of Peter of Aquila. A table of the questions precedes the text, and at the end is a simply printed register and colophon, with a cipher SL as the printer's mark. The editio princeps of this work was published in 1480, and two other incunable editions preceded this, the first 16th-century edition. This edition is uncommon: we were able to trace only three copies in the U.S. Binding: Deep walnut full calf old style: Round spine with raised bands, accented in gilt and with blind-tooled devices in compartments, and with oxblood leather labels, gilt-lettered; fillets extending onto covers from each band to terminate in trefoils and covers framed in blind double fillets. 4to (22.5 cm, 8.875"). [8], 244 ff. Adams P876. On Peter of Aquila, see: New Catholic Encyclopedia, XI, 210. On Peter Lombard, see: New Catholic Encyclopedia, XI, 221-22. Binding as above; library rubber-stamps, including on title- and last (blank) page. Light waterstaining throughout. a1-8 with chipping or bumping on corners, more obvious on the lower inner and outer corners, not touching print. Title-page very lightly soiled with a few spots of staining. Two inked ownership inscriptions on title-page; some terse marginalia; inked title on fore-edge.

Burchard Mithobius, "Ein Sohn Hektors Mitobius, Dr. Med. Stadtphysikus in Hannover, auch Herzogl. Braunschw. Leibmedikus, ist 1501 zur Neustadt am Rübenberge im Fürstentum Calenberg geboren. In Rostock nahm er das Bakkalaureat und in Erfurt die Magisterwürde an; 1531 kam er als Professor der Mathematik nach Marburg. Ob er in dieser Wissenschaft gleich für die damaligen Zeiten eine Stärke besaß; so war jedoch die Arzneygelahrtheit sein Hauptfach und er ließ sich in derselben am 11 Nov. 1535 (nach der Annal. Acad. Marb.) die Doktorwürde mittheilen, hielt auch allhier zuerst eine öffentliche Anatomie. Landgraf Phillipp der grosmütige zog ihn 1536 als Rath und Leibmedikus nach Cassel; bey den Grafen Poppo und Georg Ernst von Henneberg versahe er darneben eine gleiche Stelle. Im Jahr 1539 nahm ihn Herzog Erich der ältere von Braunschweig in seine Dienste als Rath und Leibmedikus nach Münden. Dessen Gemahlin die Herzogin Elisabeth, behielt ihn als solchen nicht nur bey, sondern sie verordnete auch, dass er als ein nicht minder in der Theologie bewährter Mann, bey der Reformation der Kirchen in dem Fürstenthum Calenberg sich gebrauchen und den Pastoral Synoden und Prüfungen der Prediger nächst dem Superintendenten Anton Corvinus, (mit welchem er schon zu Marburg vertrauerte Freundschaft gepflogen, auch noch am Ende ein Schwager von ihm geworden) beywohnen sollte. Auch von dem Sohne der Herzogin, Erich dem jüngeren, blieb er der Leibmedikus, und endigte sein Leben am 6.Aug. 1565, im 63sten Jahre seines Alters.Ein Sohn von ihm Hektor, aus seiner Ehe mit Amalia Borkin, hat über die 40 Jahre das Physikat in Hannover verwaltet und ist daselbst 1607 am 10.Apr. gestorben."

Edition très rare. Un seul exemplaire répertorié dans les bibliothèques en France, à Lyon. Arrighetto, né à Sentimello a écrit ce poème à la fin du XIIe siècle. Ce prêtre, ruiné par un procès, en fut réduit, dit-on, à mendier et à écrire sur une peau de bête. Ainsi, les revers de fortune et la consolation de la philosophie sont le sujet de son poème. Grande initiale historiée sur le titre et marque gravée des imprimeurs. Grand bois gravé au verso montrant un scribe copiant un livre. Caractères gothiques. Pierre Maréchal et Barnabé Chaussart ont imprimé à partir de 1492 de nombreux ouvrages et "se sont fait une spécialité du livre français de lecture pour les masses. Ce sont des imprimeurs français qui méritent une mention spéciale. Ils ont soutenu vaillamment la concurrence contre les étrangers qui s'étaient implantés en maîtres du marché lyonnais. Ils ont propagé la littérature populaire de la France plus que qui que ce soit." Claudin, Histoire de l'imprimerie en France, IV, 196. Baudrier, Bibliographie lyonnaise 11, 503.

Venetiis, apud Aldum Romanum, mense Maio MDI, in-8, ff. 144, completo dell'ultimo bianco, legatura settecentesca in pieno marocchino granata, duplice riquadro di filetti e fregi agli angoli dei piatti, (il dorso e' abilmente rifatto) dentelle int. e tagli dorati. Sebbene proveniente dalla Pembroke Library, l'esemplare e' corto al margine inferiore: il legatore ha rifilato in alcuni casi la segnatura in basso e toccato lievemente, in un paio di pagine, lultima riga di testo. Prima edizione aldina, impressa nellelegante carattere corsivo inventato da Aldo e disegnato da Andrea Griffo; la seconda opera di autori classici in formato tascabile ideato ed introdotto da Aldo nel formato portatile nel 1501 con il Virgilio, seguita da Petrarca e Giovenale, tutti pubblicati nello spazio di cinque mesi, dallaprile allagosto 1501. Ledizione e' da considerarsi tra le 10 piu' rare impresse da Aldo, e paragonabile al mitico Virgilio del mese precedente: gia' il Renouard (p. 27-28, n.4) la definiva edition non moins rare que la precedente de Virgile, et tres precieuse. Nel 1827 il Dibdin, Greek and Latin Classics, II, p. 89 ne conferma la rarita', ritenendo addirittura che Renouard lavesse sottovalutato: The first edition (of 1501) is perhaps a little under-rated both, in intrinsic and bibliographical, importance by Renouard. It is of considerabe rarity; and a good copy is of uncommun occurrence. Esempl. fresco e non lavato (un alone di polvere sul primo f.). "He in 1500 was about to launch a series of classical texts in convenient small format - 'portable books in the nature of manuals', he said. They were intended to be personal possessions and obtainable at a price that could be afforded by studious persons ..." (Carter - A view of early typography, pp.73-74). Renouard 27.4. Ucla 34.

Leonhard Fuchs, wurde am 17. Januar 1501 zu Membdingen Bayern geboren. Im Jahre 1519 bezog er die Universität Ingolstadt, beschäftigte sich hier besonders mit den schönen Wissenschaften, der Philosophie, der griechischen Sprache, erhielt 1521 die Würde des Magister artium,wandte sich jetzt dem Studium der Medicin zu und ward 1524 zum Doctor promovirt. Er liess sich in München als praktischer Arzt nieder, folgte aber schon nach zwei Jahren, 1526, einem Rufe als Professor der Medicin nach Ingolstadt, eine Stelle die er nach wieder zwei Jahren, 1528, mit derjenigen eines Leibarztes des Markgrafen Georg von Brandenburg in Anspach vertauschte. Hier blieb er fünf Jahre, erwarb sich durch glückliche Behandlung in der 1529 Deutschland überziehenden Epidemie des englischen Schweisses grossen Ruf und begann seine literarische Thätigkeit mit dem Werke: " Errata recentiorum medicorum LX numero, adjectis eorum confutationibus" (Hagenau 1530, 4.; später umgearbeitet unter dem Titel: "Paradoxorum medicorum libri tres, in quibus multa e nemine hactenus prodita, Arabum, aetatis nostrae medicorum errata non tandem indicantur, sed et probatissimorum authorum scriptis, firmissimisque rationibus ac arqumentis confutanlur" Basel 1533, fol.; Zürich 1540, 8.; Paris 1555, 8.; Frankfurt 1567, fol.). Es folgte "Cornarius furens" (Basel 1533, 8.). Beide Schriften sind kennzeichnend für Fchss medicinische Richtung und für seinen Charakter. In der ersteren zeigt er sich als glühender Verehrer der Griechen, als Verächter der Araber, deren Autorität er auf's eifrigste und gewandteste bekämpft, die zweite ist eine heftige Streitschrift, der Ausfluss seiner sehr grossen Zanksucht und höchsten Selbstgefälligkeit. 1533 ging Fuchs in Folge eines Rufes wiederum als Professor nach Ingolstadt, musste aber, nachdem er kaum seine Functionen übernommen, den Machinationen der in ihm den Protestanten verfolgenden Jesuiten weichen und ward nochmals von dem Markgrafen Georg' mit Freuden aufgenommen. Seine Unruhe liess ihn aber hier nur kaum zwei Jahre verweilen, denn 1535 folgte er einem Rufe des Herzogs Albrecht von Württemberg zur Uebernahme einer medicinschen Professur nach der jungen Universität Tübingen, der er bis zu seinem am 10. Mai 1566 erfolgten Tode treu blieb. Kaiser Karl V. erhob ihn in den Adelstand. Fuchs, der durch den Glanz seines wissenschaftlichen, weit über Deutschland hinaus bekannten Namens, durch eleganten und präcisen Vortrag viel zur Blüthe Tübingen's beitrug, hat besonders auf zwei Gebieten grosse Verdienste sich erworben, nämlich als Verfechter der griechischen Medicin und als Botaniker, während seine literarischen Leistungen in der praktischen Medicin sich nicht über das Niveau seiner Zeit erheben, ja auch in der Praxis selbst ihm das Glück nicht besonders hold gewesen sein soll. - Fuchs war durch seine classische Bildung so recht geeignet zum Vorkämpfer für die medicinischen; besonders die griechischen Classiker des Alterthums. Mit dem 16. Jahrhundert, der Zeit des höchsten Aufschwunges der humanistischen Bestrebungen, der eifrigsten Pflege der griechischen Literatur, vollzog sich auch in der Medicin ein gewaltiger Umschwung. Zu denjenigen Aerzten nun, die mit Enthusiasmus zur Fahne des Hippokates schworen, gehört in erster Reihe Leonhard Fuchs. Er wirkte sowohl durch allgemeine Anregungen, wie in den oben angeführten Abhandlungen, als auch durch concretes Beispiel in seinen Uebersetzungen und Commentarien. Hierher gehören: " Hippocratis epidemion Über sextus latinitate donatus et luculentissima commentatione illustratus" (Basel 1537, fol.) - "Hippocratis aphorismorum sectiones septem latinitate donatae etc." (Basel 1544, 4. und mehrfach) - "Claudii Galeni aliquot opera" (Paris 1549-1554, fol., 3 voll.). - Ausserdem besorgte Fcus zusammen mit Camerarius und Gemusaeus die Ausgabe des Galen (Basel 1538, fol., 5 voll.) und eine gute Uebersetzung mit Commentar des Myrepsus (Basel 1549, fol.). Diese literarische Thätigkeit verwickelte Fuchs in hefti

Benedictus Hector [Benedetto Faeli], Bologna: [1501.] Folio. 285 x 197mm. A2,B-Q6,R3. [4], 93ff=186,[1]p. 19th c. vellum-backed boards (slightly worn), 16th c. signature of Fr. Jo. Baptista Melonarius on t.p.; stamps and label of Jesuits of Rome, minor stains, early marginalia. Large Printer's mark at end [Kristeller 12 earliest use 1500] First Latin Edition. Flavius Philostratus (ca.170-ca.245), a member of the philosophical circle patronized by Septimus Severus and his wife Julia Domna, wrote his Life of Apollonius of Tyana at the urging of Julia herself. Apollonius was a first century Neo-pythagorean philosopher known for his ascetic lifestyle, his miracles, and his teachings rendered while traveling far, even into India. Later anti-Christian writers, especially Hierocles of Nicomedia, compared him as a rival to Jesus of Nazareth.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.ÒIn the late fifteenth century Filippo Beroaldo of Bologna was one of the most popular and influential teachers in Italy.As many as 300 students regularly attended his daily morning lectures at the University of Bologna.Many of these students were foreign, for Beroaldo's reputation extended far beyond Italy. They came from Spain and France, but above all from Germany and eastern Europe - indeed, a contemporary chronicler tells us both that he had 200 students "from the other side of the Alps" and that they all left Bologna after his death. Beroaldo's students were undoubtedly attracted by his kindly, genial manner, for he seems to have been a happy, hospitable man, deeply religious, but also good company and a bit of a bon vivant.Ó [Teaching Classics in the Renaissance:Two Case Histories. Julia Gaisser] The first Latin edition is quite rare with only a few recorded copies. Aldus published the first Greek edition in his collection of 1501-4 with the translation of Alamanno Rinuccini (1426-1499) stating it was the fourth Latin translation but with no listing of previous translations. [ Rinuccini's translation was presented to the Medici in 1475 (ms. Laur. 67.21, Vigilii #91].Beroaldus' edition was based on this but improved.Aldus' slightly later printing didn't take advantage of Beroaldus' edition. In a letter of September 19,1490 Pico della Miandola asks Giovanni Baptista Spagnolo of Mantua to write in Praise of Beroaldus and asks a loan of his manuscript copy of Philostratus. Spagnolo replied in October and tells Pico della Mirandola that he has lent his copy of Philostratus to Beroaldus. Apparently, that manuscript was of one of the sources of Beroaldus' translation and since, presumably, Pico had access to the Medici copy, it must have had a different source. EDIT cnce 36020.

| Opera ... nuper a Conrado Celte inuenta.

Nuremberg, Printer for the Sodalitas Celtica [? F. Peypus], 1501. 1501 Sm. folio, roman letter, 82 leaves; with 8 full-page woodcuts, including two by Albrecht Dürer (see below); printer’s device at end, capital spaces with guide letters, a small worm trail in the upper margin of last leaf; a fine, very tall copy (300 x 214 mm.) in dark brown morocco, gilt edges. First edition of the “comedies” and other writings of Hroswitha of Gandersheim. With two full-page woodcut illustrations by Albrecht Dürer (Meder, pp. 279-280; Panofsky, nos. 417 and 418; Dodgson I, 261-63) and five other woodcuts which may be after Dürer, but have also been attributed to Wolf Traut (Dodgson I, 504) and to Dürer’s friend and collaborator Hans von Kulmbach (F. Winkler, H. von Kulmbach, 1959, pp. 33-37, with two reproductions).Hroswitha was a Benedictine nun of Gandersheim in Lower Saxony, born at some time between A.D. 912 and 940. She wrote several poems or metrical Lives of the Saints, but her fame rests principally upon her six religious “comedies” nominally modelled on Terence. These “comedies” occupy an important position in the general history of drama, forming “the visible bridge between the few earlier attempts at utilising the forms of the classical drama for Christian purposes and the miracle plays” (A.W. Ward). They enjoy the added distinction of being the first collection of modern, i.e. non-classical dramas to appear in print. The manuscript (now preserved at Munich) was discovered and edited for this first edition by the great German humanist Conrad Celtes, founder of the literary “sodality” named after him.Five of the woodcuts (one repeated) illustrate the six “comedies”. The other two - both by Dürer himself - represent Celtes presenting his book to the Elector Frederick the Wise of Saxony, three fellow-members of the Sodalitas Celtica in attendance; and Hroswitha presenting a book to the Emperor Otto I in the presence of his niece, Gerberga, Abbess of Gandersheim.“Hroswitha’s connection to the Ottos stems from the fact that her convent was an imperial foundation. The abbess in Hroswitha’s day was a niece of the ruling emperor, with the status of an imperial prince and even the right to mint her own coinage. The wealth and privileges of Gandersheim made it a magnet for aristocratic women entering monastic life. In their case, the Benedictine Rule was relaxed, since they were not required to take the vow of poverty. The strength of the education of the Gandersheim nuns is reflected in Hroswitha, the best Latin writer in Europe in her day. She produced poetry and histories of her convent revealing a thorough mastery of the classical Latin authors in the school tradition. Her best known works, and deservedly so, are her six plays. Aside from being the first expression of non-liturgical drama since late antiquity, Hroswitha’s plays show her ability to draw independently on literary sources not in the school curriculum and to use them her own way, developing a distinctive literary style and outlook. She has two sets of models. One is the collection of saints’ lives celebrating the early Christian martyrs, the desert ascetics, and the sinners they had converted to a life of repentance and austerity. The second is the Roman comedian Terence (195/85-159 BC) ... He is a surprising source for a nun whose protagonists are Christian martyrs, Magdalenes, and virgins. Hroswitha chose Terence because he taught her how to write humorous dialogue and how to manage the flow of events from scene to scene. She ignores or allegorises the racy passages. As for her hagiographical sources, they typically exalt the male saint who counsels virgins and martyrs or who converts harlots. In Hroswitha’s hands, the female characters become the protagonists and the role of their male mentors is downplayed or ignored. The result is a series of plays that are genuinely comic, that play very well on stage, and that have happy endings spiritually. They are entertaining and edifying at the same time. Hroswitha’s use of her sources as a springboard for her own innovations, in style and substance, is as noteworthy as the high literary finish of her plays” - Marcia L.
