Andrea Torresano was the father-in-law of Aldus Manitius, who had purchased the press of Nicholas Jenson in 1482/3. In 1515, on Aldus' death, he took charge of the Aldine press until Paulus Manitius came of age. Simon de Luere worked for various printers in Northern Italy.Petrarca or Petrarch (1304-1374) Italian scholar and poet, often considered the "first humanist".He was widely travelled and became the first great Alpinist. His famous series of poems to Laura, the Canzoniere, are still considered some of the greatest poems ever written. "Not only did this culture hero gain an ardant welcome or these ideas and practices (antiquarianism, study of elegant Latin, study of Greek, etc.), but he shaped them into a single movement that came to dominate the culture of the age: to have established the vogue and ideology of classical antiquity and humaniustic studies was Petrarch's most significant achievement. In this sense he was 'the founder of the Renaissance." [Wedeck & Schweitzer, Dictionary of the Renaissance.] EDIT cnce 31762. Adams P773. Fiske Petrarch Coll.2-3. Bernoni,284:141. Hortis 3ff.

Cardano, Girolamo
De Subtilitate Libri XXI.Nunc demum ab ipso autore recogniti, atque perfecti
|
a-z,A-Y8,*-3*8,4*4 [4*4, blank].: 718,[58]p., Lyon:. 18th c. Italian vellum, rear joint cracked,paste-paper endsheets in floral patterns; contents browned, light dampstaing to lower margins, old inscription on t.p. scored, scattered text passages inked out. Clean tear in Y8; small rust hole in S7 (some text affected).Early Italian manuscript instructions for making a sundial on the blank verso of 4*4.. Guillaume Roville,. PrinterÕs mark on t.p., numerous text cuts. Cardano (1501-1576) published two encyclopedias of natural science. The two works, written in an elliptical and often obscure Latin contain a little of everything: from cosmology to the construction of machines; from the usefulness of natural science to the evil influence of demons; from the laws of mechanics to cryptology. It is a mine of facts, both real and imaginary; of notes on the state of the sciences; of superstition, technology, alchemy, and various branches of the occult...Cardano must always be credited with having introduced new ideas that inspired new investigations." [DSB] "Cardano's encyclopedic De Subtilitate was the most advanced presentation of physical knowledge up to its time. It contains many remarkable observations and ideas, including Cardano's distinction between the attractive powers of rubbbed amber (electric) and the loadstone (magnetic), his pre-evolutionary belief in creation as progressive development, and the premise that natural law was unified and could be known through experiment." NormanCat. This edition contains Cardan's response to Julius Caaesar Scaliger's attacks on this work. Sir Thomas Browne noted of Scaliger's criticisms, "If Cardan saith that a Parrot is a beautiful Bird, Scaliger will set his Wits o'work to prove it is a deformed Animal." Among other topics Cardan discusses demonology, the power of stones, the sensible and insensible worlds." [NormanCat. ] Bruning 313. Adams A672. Norman 401. Galland, Cryptography,34.

Leonhart Fuchs
Plate 185, Avena, or Oatstraw
|
- Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1567) Hand-colored woodcuts from De Historia Stirpium Each 14" x 9½." Basel, 1547. The physician and herbalist Leonhart Fuchs (1501-1556) is regarded as one of the fathers of botany. His fame is due above all to the De historia stirpium commentarii insignes ("Notable commentaries on the history of plants"), first published in Basel in 1542. In this great herbal, more than 400 European and 100 exotic plants were described and depicted in elegant, strikingly modern looking woodcuts. The herbal was a genre of book containing the names and descriptions of plants and their medicinal properties. Throughout the Middle Ages, few developments were made in this field of study, the ancestor of modern botany. Western European herbals of that era were based on the works of classical authors, in particular Pedanios Dioscorides, the ancient Greek writer who is considered the founder of medical botany. The reliance on texts that were many centuries old changed with Fuch's ambitious publication. The plan and organization of his herbal was entirely original, although the work did include some material derived from his classical predecessors. Nonetheless, Fuchs' De historia stirpium represented an impressive first step away from medieval superstition and toward modern botany. Fuchs deplored the terrible state of medicine in his lifetime. Most doctors of his time relied on information from illiterate apothecaries, who were, in turn, depending upon the peasants who gathered roots and herbs for them. Fuchs realized that patients could easily be poisoned rather than cured because of improper identification of plants, and he compiled this herbal to improve the German pharmacopoeia with a reference book consisting of accurate illustrations and identifications of medicinal herbs in both German and Latin. The result was a book of great splendor, without equal among sixteenth-century herbals. It is illustrated with 511 hand-colored woodcut figures, all original and depicted from life. Fuchs looked to living plants for his illustrations, a departure from common practice at that time, but then "improved" them by removing any natural imperfections and by showing a plant in the flowering and fruiting stages simultaneously. These figures established a standard of botanical illustration that has lasted to the present day, and more than 100 species were illustrated for the first time (including 12 New World plants such as maize, kidney bean, chili pepper, cactus, and tobacco). During Fuchs' lifetime, the herbal and its various abridgments went through 39 printings in Latin, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. These prints are in excellent condition with fantastic color and maintain an exceptional paper quality where the copper in the green pigment oxidizes perfectly through the paper, which is extremely rare.

Nicht bei Panzer. - Regulae cancellariae sind die vom Papste oder in dessen Auftrag erlassenen nur für dessen Lebenszeit gültigen Normen für die formelle und materielle Behandlung der von der päpstlichen Kanzlei zu expedirenden Ausfertigungen über Gnaden- und Rechtssachen). ... Die Kanzleiregeln beziehen sich zunächst auf die Praxis der römischen Curie bei der Verleihung aller Arten von geistlichen Privilegien, Indulten und von Pfründen, sowie Ertheilung von Dispensen und der daran geknüpften Acte zur Erlangung der genannten Gnaden und Privilegien. ... Andererseits betreffen diese Regeln nicht blos die Bureaux der eigentlichen Kanzlei: das der Suppliken, Minuten, Reinschriften, Bulle und Register, sondern auch die Audentia litterarum contradictarum, die Rota und andere curiale Gerichtshöfe, insoweit dieselben Streitsachen über die in den Regeln behandelten Materien auszutragen haben. ... Seit Eugen IV, also vom Zeitpunkt an wo das Schisma für beseitigt gelten konnte und wo man die Rechtmässigkeit der Zwischenpäpste nicht mehr nach conciliaren Ansichten mass, liess man diese Bestätigungen endgültig fallen. Der Typ der Regulae cancellariae ist seitdem stätig gleichgeblieben. Dieselben beginnen mit der subjectiv im Namen der Vicekanzlers abgefassten Verlautbarung der Veröffentlichung der Regeln laut päpstlichem Auftrages, darauf folgen als einheitlicher Körper die durch 'item' in einzelne Paragraphe abgetheilten Bestimmungen, dem Wortlaut nach vom regierenden Papst selbständig erlassen; den Abschluss macht die Potestas vicecancellarii.

Elle est dédiée à Marguerite de France, duchesse de Berry, sœur du Roi. Elle est illustrée d'une centaine de figures et diagrammes gravés sur bois. Le subtilissime touche-à-tout de la Renaissance. Doué d'une culture prodigieuse, Jérôme Cardan (1501-1576) était mathématicien, philosophe et médecin. On doit à celui que son siècle a surnommé "l'homme des inventions" un type de transmission mécanique qui porte son nom et la formule de résolution des équations du troisième dégré. De la Subtilité est non seulement un document sur l'état de la science au XVIe siècle mais aussi une vaste encyclopédie scientifique où sont abordées, cosmologie, médecine, géométrie, sciences naturelles, cryptographie, vertus des pierres précieuses, etc. Les prodiges et l'occulte sont réintégrés dans une organisation intelligible de l'Univers, non sans témérités quant à sa conception peu orthodoxe des rapports entre le corps et l'âme. Bien des savants et poètes français ont médité l'ouvrage qui figurait dans la bibliothèque de Ronsard, qu'Ambroise Paré cite dans sa Chirurgie et dont les libertins érudits du XVIIe siècle firent leur miel.

Hieronymus Curio, 6092, Basel, - Small 4to. No binding. (32) lvs. First German edition of this rare biography of the famous Dutch heretic David Joriszoon (1501 - 1556). Banished from Holland for his overt rejection of the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church, David Jorisz. fled to Friesland, where he met the anababtists. He joined them in 1533 after his baptism and tried to appease the disputing parties within this sect. Ecstatic and susceptible to flattery, he pointed himself a prophet, with a divine mission and supernatural powers. Soon he got many followers, but he and his group were also severely persecuted. In 1554, he came to live in Basle after five years of having been on the run for the authorities in the Netherlands. There he lived with his family as a rich and respected citizen under the name of Jan van Brugge, pretending to be a Reformed refugee while he still kept in touch with his followers in the Southern Netherlands. Only two and a half years after his death, his real name and convictions were discovered. His corpse was exhumed and, together with his books, publicly burned outside the city of Basle on May 13, 1559. The present biography, written by the university of Basle in honour of the townmagistrates, mainly covers Jorisz.' life at Basle (1554-1556). A Latin edition by the same publisher appeared at the same time. Good copy.- (Sl. waterst.; binding gone).

Grand in-4 de (4) ff., VIII, 225, (2) pp., veau fauve, filet doré sur les plats, dos à nerfs orné de caissons de fleurons dorés, tranches mouchetées (reliure de l'époque). - Rare édition originale de ce traité physiognomonique de Cardan, célèbre médecin, mathématicien et philosophe italien. Cet ouvrage parut chez le même éditeur et la même année dans une version latine considérée comme postérieure. Titre gravé avec marque de l'éditeur. Les 800 bustes gravés sur bois qui illustrent ce traité sont répartis à raison de 4 par page. Sur le front de chacun d'entre eux sont inscrites diverses lignes. Un bref commentaire placé sous le visage en donne la signification, par exemple : Il sera malin, luxurieux, & enfin sera pendu. La femme aura deux maris, qui mourront devant elle ; sera paillarde, & aimera la compagnie des moines ; elle sera maligne, & dépravée. (L. II, fig. 37) Plusieurs livres de ce traité soulignent les liens directs entre les lignes visibles sur la figure et certains corps célestes avec leurs conséquences sur le tempérament. L'auteur analyse enfin l'interprétation à donner aux "seings [envies ou nævi] ou marques naturelles du visage". Jérôme Cardan (1501-1576) homme de la Renaissance au savoir universel, fonda en grande partie sa renommée sur ses talents de médecin et se passionna aussi pour l'astrologie et les arts divinatoires. Issue de l'Antiquité, la Métoposcopie (observation du front), désigne l'art de deviner les caractères ou l'avenir d'une personne par l'examen des traits du visage et particulièrement des rides du front. L'ouvrage de Cardan témoigne de l'intérêt renouvelé pour la "science" physiognomonique : l'étude du tempérament et du caractère d'une personne à partir de la forme, des traits et des expressions de son visage. Cette première édition parisienne s'inscrit à la suite du célèbre De Humana physiognomonia de della Porta (1586), dont la première traduction française venait tout juste de paraître (1655). L'ouvrage de Cardan annonce la conférence de Le Brun sur les Passions de l'âme (1668), illustrée par les gravures de Sébastien Le Clerc (1692). Cet engouement pour la physiognomonie se prolongera jusqu'à la fin du siècle suivant avec les travaux de Lavater. Bel exemplaire dans sa reliure de l'époque. Guaita, 1227. - Caillet, Manuel bibliographique des Sciences psychiques ou occultes, I, 2019. - Dorbon, Bibliotheca esoterica, 622 ("Ce rarissime traité, qui ne se trouve pas dans la collection des Œuvres de Cardan, est d'ailleurs l'un des meilleurs que l'on ait sur la physiognomonie"). 4500 [Attributes: Hard Cover]

FERRARIUS, Hieronymus (Girolamo FERRARI).
Extensive notes on Cicero's Philippics by an Italian philologist, printed by Paulus Manutius, Ad Paulum Manutium emendationes in Philippicas Ciceronis.
|
Paulus Manutius, B3RC74CDMSG7, Venice, - 8vo. Later vellum, spine raised in compartments with title lettered in ink, pastedowns of gilt paper with blue floral decorations. Woodcut printer's device on title and verso of last leaf. (126) ff. [Collation: A10 B-P8 Q4]. Rare only Aldus edition of the extensive philological notes on Cicero's Philippicae (speeches consisting of the 14 philippics, Philippica I-XIV, against Marcus Antonius), written in 44 BC by the Italian philosopher and philologist Girolamo Ferrari (1501-1542). With a prefatory letter from Ferrari to Paulus Manutius dated Rome, 5 January 1541 on ff. A2r-3r.Cicero was taken completely by surprise when the 'Liberatores' assassinated Caesar on the ides of March, 44 BC. Cicero was not included in the conspiracy, even though the conspirators were sure of his sympathy. Marcus Junius Brutus called out Cicero's name, asking him to "restore the Republic" when he lifted the bloodstained dagger after the assassination. A letter Cicero wrote in February 43 BC to Trebonius, one of the conspirators, began, "How I could wish that you had invited me to that most glorious banquet on the Ides of March"! Cicero became a popular leader during the period of instability following the assassination. He had no respect for Mark Antony, who was scheming to take revenge upon Caesar's murderers. In fact, Cicero privately expressed his regret that the murderers of Caesar had not included Antony in their plot, and he bent his efforts to the discrediting of Antony.The First and Second Philippics are two of the most polished orations in the Ciceronian corpus. These speeches, which were composed less than six months after the murder of Julius Caesar in March 44 BC, offer a scathing account of the early years and the rise to power of Mark Antony, Caesar's chief lieutenant. The period covered by these speeches (roughly 63-44 BC) is an important one because the Roman state was in transition from Republic to Empire. The Second Philippic not only gives us Cicero's assessment of his own political career and place in Roman history from a perspective late in life, but it also provides a vivid eyewitness account of how the dominance first of Julius Caesar and later of Mark Antony was shifting the locus of power from the Senate and Roman aristocracy to a single dynast. Good copy.- (Title rest.; occ. wormholes in blank margins; spine sl. dam.). UCLA 307; Renouard p. 125, no. 5; Adams F-274; STC Italian p. 247; not in Dibdin, nor Machiels. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

ADDITIONAL NOTES: A complete, near fine copy of one of the most important and most rare early Aldine imprints! "Collection infiniment rare et precieuse." (Renouard). Including EDITIO PRINCEPS of the HOMEROCENTRA, The Homeric Centos of the 5th century East Roman Empress Eudocia, printed (using, for the first time, a complicated system of imposition of quires developed by Aldus to produce interleaving of the Greek and Latin sheets containing parallel text of the original and the translation). "This book is the first in which Aldus used his celebrated mark of the anchor." (Goldsmid/Renouard, A bibliographical sketch of the Aldine press at Venice, p.27). "This is the first anchor device of Aldus and in its earliest state with the double line border intact" (Davies, Devices of the Early Printers, no.236). The 'most celebrated of all printers' marks' (cf. Fletcher p.43). It was illustrated in 1499 Aldine editio princeps of Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, explained by the motto festina lente. This volume, complete in itself is the 2nd of the ambitious three-volume Aldine compilation of works of early Christian poets. Complete sets are exceedingly rare, now virtually unobtainable, and even individual volumes are of great rarity in today's antiquarian book market. (Individual volumes are self-contained and catalogued by Panzer, and many others as bibliographically separate entities.) In his dedication to Daniele Clario, Aldus explains his complicated system of imposition and interleaving the Greek and Latin sheets he experimented with in this publication to produce parallel text of the original and the translation, and how this inevitably leaves two facing blank pages in the middle of each quire; these he has decided to fill with other works. In the text of Homerocentra in this volume Aldus has used these pages for the Greek text (with parallel Latin translation) of the Akathistos hymn (Akathistos Ymnos) - the most famous Byzantine Orthodox hymn to the Virgin Mary.

MARTIALIS, Marcus Valerius.
[Epigrammata].
|
Nice copy of the first Aldine edition (Colophon: Venice, Aldus Manutius the Elder, December 1501). 8vo. 17th-century calf, spine gilt in compartments with title lettered in gold. (192) ff., including the last blank. [Collation: A-Z8 &8]. Rare first Aldine edition (second edition of 1517 is a mere reprint) of Martial's Epigrams, and the 5th book printed in Aldus's italics. The editio princeps had been published in Ferrara in 1471. There is no normal title: on the first leaf only 'Martialis' is printed in capitals; on the verso is the letter Plinius Junior to Cornelius Priscus on Martialis (Plinius, Epist. III, 21). The imprint is found at the end: the colophon reads: 'Venetiis in aedibus Aldi mense decembri. M.DI.', followed by a printer's warning: 'Quisquis es qui quo quomodo huiusce excusionis ergo adversus ieris, damnatus esto et reus ill.s.v. ne dicas tibi non praedictum. Cave'.Of this edition a forgery has been made in Lyon. It bears no date, but according to Brunet is must have been before 1503. This forgery can be distinguished from the original (our edition) by the following: on the first page one reads 'Amphiteatrum' instead of 'Amphitheatrum' in the heading and 'se posita' instead of 'seposita' in the last but one line. Of this forgery two issues exist, both without date and foliation. In the first issue all Greek passages, as printed in the original, are left blank and in the second issue some of the Greek passages are translated into Latin (Brunet III, col. 1490).Martialis, who lived in the first century AD (ca. 38 - 103 AD), brought the Latin epigram to perfection and provided in it a picture of Roman society during the early empire that is remarkable both for its completeness and for its accurate portrayal of human imperfections. His epigrams were also considered as of a high educational value. Good copy.- (Crossed out ownership's entry and later 'probationes pennae' on title; some contemporary and later ms. annotations; some browning and staining, spine damaged (repaired)).

VERGIL, Polydore.
Urbinatis Anglicæ Historiæ Libri Vigintiseptem. Ab ipso autore postremum iam recogniti, adque amussim, salua tamen historiæ veritate, expoliti...
|
Basileæ [Basle]: Apud Mich. Isingrinium [Michael Isingrin] 1555. Folio in 6s, (ii), 691, (37 Index, 2) pp. Printer’s device to title and verso of final leaf, some worming and mostly light marginal damp staining at the beginning and the end, woodcut borders to two early leaves with some subtle old hand colouring, one with a small hole burnt through, bookplate of George Becher Blomfield, Canon of Chester. 19th century half calf, rather worn, spine with some cracking, marbled paper sides, a few small holes to joints. Born in Italy, Vergil came to England in 1501 or 1502 and except for a short period of imprisonment in 1515 enjoyed the patronage of the King with a series of clerical appointments. It was Henry VIII himself who asked Vergil to compose this history, and his researches led him to be in regular contact with many of the scholars of the day. Although his imprisonment had made him an enemy of Wolsey and subsequently skewed the opinions of generations of historians concerning the Cardinal, the work as a whole was massive influential. “Vergil's historical method was far in advance of anything that England had then known. Unlike preceding chroniclers, he wrote a history on modern lines, attempted to weigh authorities, and told a connected story. As an authority he is invaluable for the reign of Henry VII, with whose aims and character he thoroughly sympathised, and he realised fully the changes which marked the passing away of the middle ages... The substance of his history became... common property” (DNB). Adams V448. First published 1534 with another edition in 1546, this edition extended the period covered up to 1538.

Not found in H. M. Adams, Catalogue of Books Printed on the Continent of Europe, 1501-1600 in Cambridge Libraries. MARCUS TULLIUS CICERO (106-43) was a townsman of Marius. He belonged to the Equites, and received a good education under the best Greek teachers. As he ripened into manhood, he chose in politics the party opposed to Caesar, and for a profession he selected the bar, hoping to gain fame as a speaker before the Senate, and finally to become one of its members. He took part in the Social War (89), but during the troubled times that followed he remained quietly engaged in literary pursuits. His first public oration (80), the defence of Roscius, who was falsely accused of murdering his father, was a great success, and guaranteed for him a brilliant future. Cicero improved the next few years by study and travel in Asia and Greece. Shortly after his return, in 75, he was elected Quaestor, and thus became a member of the Senate. His year of office he spent in Sicily, in the performance of his duties. There he obtained an insight into the corrupt extortions of the Roman governors. Five years later, he conducted his famous case against Verres. VERRES had been a follower of Sulla, and during the proscriptions had amassed some property. Afterwards he held official positions in Greece and Asia, where he became notorious for his greediness and cruelty. With the money thus acquired, he had bought his election to the praetorship, became Senator, and was sent by his colleagues to govern Sicily. His government there may have been no worse than that of many other proconsuls in the different provinces, but we have a fuller account of it owing to the prosecution of Cicero, whose speeches against Verres are preserved. Verres was Governor of Sicily for three years. In his official position, he was judge of all civil and criminal cases. Every suit brought before him he gave to the party that could pay him best. Property was confiscated on false charges, and works of art of great value were stolen. By such a course Verres collected, it is said, property to the value of $4,000,000. Two thirds of this he expected to spend in silencing accusations. The rest he hoped to enjoy in peace. Images sent on request.

JUSTINIAN.
CORPUS JURIS CIVILIS. Novellae Constitutiones. Novellarum Constitutionum D N Iustiniani principis, quae exstant, & ut exstant, volumen. [Trans. Gregorius Haloander].
|
First separate edition of the Latin translation by Gregorius Haloander of the Novellae Constitutiones; Haloander (1501-1531) had edited the Greek text in 1531 and his Latin translation had first been added to the Basel edition of 1541.The Novellae are supplements to Justinian’s Digests, Institutes, and Codex, and survive in three different versions: two early Latin versions, and one in Greek. The Greek collection (on which Haloander based his translation) was made in the late sixth century for the use of Oriental lawyers.This edition was printed by Charlotte Guillard, the foremost woman-printer of the French Renaissance (see B. Beech, Renaissance Quarterly, XXXVI [1983], 345-367).From the library of the antiquary and man of affairs John Hooker, alias Vowell (c. 1527-1601), with his ownership inscriptions on title “Jo. Hooker al. Vowell meus verus est dominus” and “Jo. Vowelli al Hookeri suus liber”. “Vowell alias Hooker”, as he is regularly known (a fifteenth-century forebear had acquired the name Hooker on marrying a Hampshire heiress), was born into an established Exeter family; both his father and grandfather had served as mayor. His nephew was Richard Hooker, author of Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity.Vowell read civil law at Oxford, but left without taking a degree to travel on the Continent, where he lived and studied theology with Peter Martyr at Strasbourg. A second trip abroad, this time to France, was thwarted by the outbreak of war, and he was forced to return home and “dryven to take a wyffe”.Having turned down a post at the University of Salamanca, he began working for Miles Coverdale (bishop of Exeter 1551–53, and likewise a student of Peter Martyr). In 1555, Vowell was appointed the first chamberlain of Exeter, and was involved in a number of good works in the city. His next position (1568) was in the service of Sir Peter Carew in Ireland as his legal adviser, where he also sat in the Dublin Parliament. On Carew’s death in 1575, Vowell returned to Exeter and represented the city at Westminster in 1571 and 1586. The journal he kept of parliamentary proceedings, discovered in the nineteenth century stowed under the rafters of Exeter Guildhall, was the first of its kind.Vowell then turned scholar, editing the second edition of Holinshed’s Chronicles (1587), the edition used by Shakespeare as the principal source for the history plays. Vowell’s other antiquarian interests had a local focus, and his Description of the City of Exeter and Catalogue of the Bishops give a vivid and detailed picture of the city and its government.From the Sunderland library (with shelf-mark), third portion, sale July 1882, lot 6963 (second item). Paris, Charlotte Guillard, 1542.

Philostratus, Flavius
Philostratus De Vita Apollonii Tyanei, Scriptor Luculentus A Philippo Beroaldo Castigatus

Benedictus Hector [Benedetto Faeli], Bologna:: Benedictus Hector [Benedetto Faeli],, [1501.]. First Latin Edition.. 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.. Folio. 285 x 197mm.. Large Printer's mark at end [Kristeller 12 earliest use 1500] 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.#11;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;OIn 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.O [Teaching Classics in the Renaissance:Two Case Histories. Julia Gaisser]#11; 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.

NICOLAUS DE LYRA.

Cologne, Retro Fratres Minores, 1501. A rare work of the Retro Minores press which operated from 31July 1497 to 1504. Proctor attributed the work of this press to Martin Von Werden. BMC however suggests that, as the Retro Minores used three of Heinrich Quentell’s types and 2 of the same woodcuts, it might have been a branch of Quentell’s business. The pastedowns and endleaves are from an early 15th century manuscript on vellum of the Doctrinale of Alexander of Villa Dei (born c. 1160). Written in verse, this was the most familiar and enduring Latin grammar of the Middle Ages. The present fragment preserves 109 lines; the capitals at the beginning of the lines are touched in red.[Bound with]:1. NIDER, Johannes. Consolatorium timoratae conscientiae. [Paris, Félix Baligault] for Jean Petit [between 24 April and 2 October 1500]. (CIBN N97, dating it between 24 April and 2 Oct. 1500. This edition not in BMC or Goff). 2. JOHANNES DE LAPIDE.

Folio. 2 vols in 1. 314 x 215mm.. Andrea Torresano was the father-in-law of Aldus Manitius, who had purchased the press of Nicholas Jenson in 1482/3. In 1515, on Aldus' death, he took charge of the Aldine press until Paulus Manitius came of age. Simon de Luere worked for various printers in Northern Italy.#11;Petrarca or Petrarch (1304-1374) Italian scholar and poet, often considered the "first humanist".He was widely travelled and became the first great Alpinist. His famous series of poems to Laura, the Canzoniere, are still considered some of the greatest poems ever written. "Not only did this culture hero gain an ardant welcome or these ideas and practices (antiquarianism, study of elegant Latin, study of Greek, etc.), but he shaped them into a single movement that came to dominate the culture of the age: to have established the vogue and ideology of classical antiquity and humaniustic studies was Petrarch's most significant achievement. In this sense he was 'the founder of the Renaissance." [Wedeck & Schweitzer, Dictionary of the Renaissance.]#11; EDIT cnce 31762. Adams P773. Fiske Petrarch Coll.2-3. Bernoni,284:141. Hortis 3ff.

COUSIN, Jean
Livre de perspective
|
Le Royer Folio [41.5 x 28.5 cm], (72) printed leaves, of which 5 are folded double leaves signed as single leaves, final leaf blank; with the overslip tipped to C3v. Bound in contemporary limp vellum. Right edge of D2 a bit frayed and soiled, barely affecting one edge of the image; light scattered foxing, some leaves browned. A tall, wide-margined, genuine copy. A very attractive copy of the first edition of this rare work on perspective, which Updike calls "one of the handsomest volumes of its time." It is through this work that Jean Cousin became known as the major theorist of artists' perspective in sixteenth-century France, and was credited with perfecting the tiers points technique that was somewhat confusingly described by Pelerin at the beginning of the century. In his hands the tiers point technique "became a reliable, comprehensive and substantially accurate method for tackling the construction of space and the foreshortening of solid bodies" (Kemp, The Science of Art).The large woodcut frontispiece of the Livre de perspective is well known and often reproduced. It is "singularly inventive with its foreshortened perspective, displaying five polyhedrons set in a framework supported by acrobatic nudes. Later generations elaborated such frameworks in the painting of baroque ceilings. While the woodcut's architectonic perspective gives it added dimension in depth, it suggests the decorative schemes in wood, paint and plaster relief of Rosso and Primaticcio at Fontainebleau, or an engraving of a ceiling by a follower, Fantuzzi" (Wick, Sixteenth Century Architectural Books 30).Jean Cousin the Elder (1501- c.1560) was also a painter of considerable significance: "the most important of the painters working independently of the Fontainebleau school" (Blunt, Art and Architecture in France p. 112). A native of Sens, he was active in Paris by 1538, where he enjoyed considerable success as a painter and designer of stained glass. Works securely attributed to him include Eva Prima Pandora (now in the Louvre), the tapestries of the life of St. Mammes in the Cathedral of Langres, and at least two of the windows in the Cathedral of Sens. His advanced knowledge of Italian painting (again Rosso, but also Leonardo) seems to have been acquired directly rather than through the intermediary of the Ecole de Fontainebleau. *Mortimer 157; Berlin Kat. 4690; Millard 57; Didot, Cousin, pp. 113-118; Morison, Four Centuries of Fine Printing, with reproductions of no fewer than 6 leaves.

Impressum Venetiis, per Bernardinum Vercellensem: Anno Salutis MCCCCCI [1501] Die primo Kalendas Martii. Folio; [148] leaves. Signatures: a8, b-z6, &8 (last leaf blank); single column, 42 lines; in Roman type; printed letter guides in initial spaces of 4 and 8 lines. Covers worn and dusty; spine from contemporary printer's waste over paper boards, with handwritten title in ink and small paper shelf label; penciled notes on fly-leaves; occasional marginalia and underlining of text; old water stains to first few leaves; some small ink stains, not affecting text. Leaf eii is missigned dii. Imprint taken from the colophon. Adams P1856; Kress I:24. The Renaissance humanist and poet Johannes Jovianus Pontanus was born in Cerreto di Spoleto and educated in Perugia and Naples. He became tutor to the sons of Alphonso the Magnanimous (1416-1458), and subsequently occupied diplomatic and advisory positions in the Court of Naples. Alphonso established the Accademia Alphonsina as a forum for scholars to debate questions of philosophy, politics, and literature and Pontanus was a prominent teacher, eventually becoming the school's president. The Accademia was renamed in his honour, and is still operating today. Pontanus was a popular writer and had a respectable body of work published during his lifetime. This early edition includes his major philosophical and political essays, as well as two dialogues, one of which, Charon, is often found excised from collections of Pontanus' works due to its unflattering depiction of the clergy (cf. Renouard). Pontanus also wrote treatises on astronomy, art and language, but he was most appreciated as a gifted Latin poet who mastered the Greek epigrammatic form. The printer of this edition, Bernardino de Viano, was active in Venice from 1500-1512 and 1520-1543, publishing in Latin and Italian under several variations of his name.

La Gigantea insieme con La Nanea: nuovamente mandata in luce, [in fine:] Firenze, [figli di Lorenzo Torrentino], Ad’instanza d’Alessandro Ceccherelli, 1566.

4° (mm 192x134); cc. (4), pp. 43. Titolo entro classica larga cornice architettonica dei Torrentino, con alla base la veduta di Firenze. Un grande capolettera silografico figurato all’inzio della dedica a Cosimo i. Legatura dell’Ottocento in pergamena su cartone, piatti inquadrati da catenella e filetti dorati. Qualche piccola macchia, tuttavia buon esemplare, tenuto conto della modestissima qualità tipografica dell’edizione. Provenienza: Giacomo Manzoni (ex-libris). Prima rarissima edizione. Gamba, 533 («Rarissimo»); Stc it. (Additions and Corrections), 754; Edit xvi, a-1501. «La Gigantea descrive l’assalto dato dai giganti al cielo, e la Nanea la vittoria sui giganti dei nani che restituiscono il cielo agli dei. Malgrado che i due poemi siano ricordati dai bibliografi e dagli studiosi (Previtera compreso) come opere del Grazzini [Anton Francesco, detto Il Lasca], o comunque a lui attribuiti, la Gigantea si deve ritenere del Forabosco, pseudonimo di Girolamo Amelonghi detto il Gobbo di Pisa, che sembra abbia preso l’opera dal fiorentino Benedetto Arrighi, e la Nanea invece di Michelangelo Serafini. La Gigantea fu imitata in molti passi dal poeta burlesco francese Paul Scarron» (C.A. Chiesa, Libri italiani rari del Rinascimento, 119). L’edizione è certamente un prodotto della tipografia dei Torrentino, succeduti al padre Lorenzo nel 1563. A parte la cornice del frontespizio, ‘marca’ già di Lorenzo (cfr. Zappella, 1140), il grande corsivo con cui è stampata la dedica del Forabosco a Cosimo i è il medesimo carattere più volte utlizzato da Torrentino senior, ad esempio nell’Oratione del Lollio del 1552 (cfr. Moreni, 120).

In 1515, on Aldus' death, he took charge of the Aldine press until Paulus Manitius came of age. Simon de Luere worked for various printers in Northern Italy. Petrarca or Petrarch (1304-1374) Italian scholar and poet, often considered the "first humanist".He was widely travelled and became the first great Alpinist. His famous series of poems to Laura, the Canzoniere, are still considered some of the greatest poems ever written. "Not only did this culture hero gain an ardant welcome or these ideas and practices (antiquarianism, study of elegant Latin, study of Greek, etc.), but he shaped them into a single movement that came to dominate the culture of the age: to have established the vogue and ideology of classical antiquity and humaniustic studies was Petrarch's most significant achievement. In this sense he was 'the founder of the Renaissance." [Wedeck & Schweitzer, Dictionary of the Renaissance.] EDIT cnce 31762. Adams P773. Fiske Petrarch Coll.2-3. Bernoni,284:141. Hortis 3ff.

Fillipo Beroaldo, ed.Alamano Rinuccini, trans. Bologna: Benedictus Hector [Benedetto Faeli], [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. “In 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.” [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.

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 è abilmente rifatto) dentelle int. e tagli dorati. Sebbene proveniente dalla Pembroke Library, l'esemplare è corto al margine inferiore: il legatore ha rifilato in alcuni casi la segnatura in basso e toccato lievemente, in un paio di pagine, l’ultima riga di testo. Prima edizione aldina, impressa nell’elegante 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, dall’aprile all’agosto 1501. L’edizione è da considerarsi tra le 10 più rare impresse da Aldo, e paragonabile al “mitico” Virgilio del mese precedente: già il Renouard (p. 27-28, n.4) la definiva “édition non moins rare que la précédente de Virgile, et très précieuse”. Nel 1827 il Dibdin, Greek and Latin Classics, II, p. 89 ne conferma la rarità, ritenendo addirittura che Renouard l’avesse 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.

Isabella I., "The Catholic" Queen of Spain. Document signed "I the Queen" (yo la reyna), addressed to her steward, Pancho de Paredes, ordering additions to her personal wardrobe
|
One page, quarto, measuring 12 ! x 9 ! inches, framed, in gilded frame. With six line endorsement signed by the royal secretary Pedro Almazan. Dated at Grenada, Spain, on 18 March 1501. Isabella I, Queen and unifier of the Spanish kingdoms, patroness of Christopher Columbus, and her husband Ferdinand were noted for the magnificence of their royal court. The queen was particularly fond of fine clothing and jewels and was famous throughout Europe for her superb wardrobe. She and her ladies in waiting set fashions for several decades. In this unique documented she orders a new supply of linen to be worn with various court dresses which are described in detail, showing the great personal interest the Queen took in her wardrobe and giving an unusual glimpse into the private life of a celebrated European monarch. At the time of writing, 1501, Isabella was fifty years old and had been on the Spanish throne for twenty-six years. Her characteristic state attire at the time has been described as a "gown with a tight bodice and a girdle tied in a looped knot at the front (which) feel over the ankles to the ground!over this cloak was drawn across the figure from the left and caught under the right arm!" William T. Walsh: Isabella of Spain: The Last Crusader (New York, 1930),page 283. Here she orders her steward, Pancho de Paredes to have her dressmaker, Dona Catalina de Ribera, make for her "four linen chemises (camisas de olanda, i.e. of fine Dutch linen, or cambric). They are to be worn with overskirts (slashed with cloth of gold and fine scarlet cloth." This style was typical of Isabella's fashion; she is described by her biographers as being especially fond of dresses and cloaks slashed so as to reveal a fine fabric such as cloth of gold underneath. This was the medieval and Renaissance style. With such costumes she wore fabulous jewels including a famous ruby "the size of a tennis ball" (I.L. Plunket, Isabel of Castile, New York, 1915, pages 322-323). Particular orders are give to the dressmaker, Dona Catalina, that the Queen's clothing be "embroidered or covered with lace," and it is several times repeated that the linen by "finely pleated." Pedro de Almazan, who countersigns the royal order, was the principal confidential secretary to the Queen. He was a Jew who had converted to Christianity and acted as an advisor as well as secretary. He is said to have introduced the art of writing secret documents in code into Spain and played an important part in the brilliant political maneuvers of Ferdinand and Isabella. At the time of the writing of this document Isabella and her consort were at the peak of their fortunes and power. They had established themselves and their splendid court in the city of Grenada, which was the former Moorish capital, captured from the last Moorish rulers the same year that Columbus discovered the New World. Queen s of Spain always signed, as Isabella I signed this document, merely "I the Queen", without the use of their Christian names. Any document signed by Isabella is rare but especially unusual is this document dealing with her wardrobe which affords a rare view of the personal taste of one of histories most celebrated queens. Housed in a red cloth chemise inside quarter red morocco slipcase. I paid a hammer price of 1800 + a commission of $360 at Christies December 15 2005 lot 184. .
