Sophocles (469-399 B.C.)
[Title in Greek] TRAGEDIAE SEPTEM CUM COMMNETARIIS
|
Venice: Aldus the Elder, August 1502. The very rare editio princeps, the first Aldus edition, the first Greek text, the first complete edition of Sophocles, the first appearance of AldusOs finest Greek type and the first in AldusO series of the classics in pocket format. Woodcut aldine dolphin and anchor device [Fletcher no.2] on verso of last leaf, capital spaces with guide letters. 8vo, very fine 19th century French grained red goatskin, covers lined in blind with triple fillet rules and corner tools, the spine lettered in gilt between raised bands ruled in blind. 196 ff. with all blanks present A very handsome copy in a very well preserved antique binding.. THE VERY RARE first printing or editio princeps in its native Greek of a classic of enormous significance--the birth of all theatre. First printing from the Aldine press with the imprint: Venetiis, in Aldi Romani Academia, and the first printing by Aldus in the series by the classic authors. Dibdin in his great book on the Greek and Roman classics said of this printing that it Ois a very excellent and accurate edition; highly approved by Brunck, and taken from valuable MSS. It is greatly preferable to many that followed it. The Aldine edition was the basis of every subsequent one, till that of Turnebus. A very copious and flattering account is given by the bibliographer Harles of the excellence of this editio princeps.O Sophocles has been called the father of modern theatre and the Homer of tragedy. OAccording to Aristotle in the Poetics, Sophocles was an innovator in tragedy: he added a third to the previously accepted two actors, introduced Oscene paintingO, and increased the chorus from twelve to fifteen; he also abandoned the Aeschylean practice of writing trilogies on related events instead giving each play a self-contained plot....His characters were admired by Aristotle for being Olike ourselves only noblerO; his heroes and heroines are placed in circumstances in which they must act, and by their actions, which often have tragic consequences, they show their heroic stature. For Aristotle, Oedipus Rex represented Greek tragedy at its greatest.O - Howatson.

Carta Del Cantino. Charta del navichare per le isole novamente trovate in la parte de l'India
|
Ministerio De Cultura De Italia El Planisferio de Cantino, tambien conocido como mapa de Cantino, es el mapa mas antiguo existente que muestra los descubrimientos portugueses del siglo XV. Su fecha de elaboracion es incierta, y el cartografo que lo trazo es anonimo, probablemente de origen portugues. Lo que se sabe es que el mapa fue subrepticiamente llevado a Italia por Alberto Cantino en 1502. El mapa lleva la inscripcion Carta da navigar per le Isole nouam tr [ovate] in le parte de l'India: dono Alberto Cantino al S. Duca Hercole. Cantino era un agente del italiano Duque de Ferrara, que consiguio llegar a ser secretario particular del rey portugues Don Manuel I. El mapa es notable por representar con gran precision zonas del mundo hasta entonces poco exploradas por los europeos. La costa de Brasil aparece parcialmente trazada, confirmando la conjetura de Pedro Alvares Cabral, que dos anos antes afirmo que Brasil no era solo un territorio pequeno, sino quizas un continente que se extendia mucho mas al sur. La informacion contenida en el mapa tenia entonces un gran valor, y tuvo un gran impacto en las relaciones comerciales de Italia con Portugal en la epoca. En el planisferio de Cantino aparecen varios datos notables, que han llevado a muchas conjeturas sobre el origen de la informacion contenida, y la informacion historica sobre la exploracion europea. Un ejemplo es que el mapa describe la peninsula de Florida en 1502, cuando el descubrimiento de Florida es atribuido a Juan Ponce de Leon en 1513. Adicionalmente, el continente africano aparece notablemente bien trazado, y su linea costera es delineada con un detalle sorprendente para la epoca (con errores de menos de 45 km), lo cual es una proeza considerando que en esa epoca no existia en Europa ni el mundo arabe una forma precisa de medir la longitud, dato imprescindible para una cartografia adecuada. El planisferio de Cantino se encuentra en la Biblioteca Estense de Modena, Italia, donde ha sido guardado desde 1868. The most important manuscript map surviving from the early Age of Discovery, the Cantino World Map is named for Alberto Cantino, an Italian diplomatic agent in Lisbon who obtained it in 1502 for the Duke of Ferrara. It incorporates extensive new geographical information based on four series of voyages: Columbus to the Caribbean, Pedro Alvarez Cabral to Brazil, Vasco de Gama followed by Cabral to eastern Africa and India, and the brothers Corte-Real to Greenland and Newfoundland. Except for Columbus, all had sailed under the Portuguese flag. Il piu' antico planisfero conservato in Italia che riporti le coste americane appena scoperte risale al 1502: e la Carta del Cantino. La riproduzione in facsimile, ad alta risoluzione, tanto che i piu' fini particolari sono meglio apprezzabili con l'uso di una lente, e fedele all'originale anche nelle lumeggiature dorate e nella misura, due metri e venti di lunghezza per un metro e cinque di altezza. Per gli amanti della miniatura e della cartografia, un'opera veramente imperdibile. Tiratura: 750 esemplari, numerati e certificati. La Carta del Cantino e unanimemente considerata la piu bella geocarta di eta rinascimentale e attesta la recente scoperta del continente americano. Miniata in Portogallo nel 1502, subito dopo i viaggi di Colombo e Vespucci, su sei pergamene congiunte per complessivi 105x220 cm, fu probabilmente commissionata dall!ambasciatore Alberto Cantino per documentare al duca di Ferrara Ercole I la nuova dimensione del mondo e l!importanza strategica delle grandi scoperte geografiche. Il planisfero mostra, infatti, le coste caraibiche e quelle brasiliane (si tratta della piu antica rappresentazione del Nuovo Mondo conservata in Italia), separate dalla raya, la linea che divideva i possedimenti portoghesi da quelli spagnoli. Pur essendo una delle prime carte che per la rappresentazione dell!ecumene si libera della tradizione tolemaica, la Carta del Cantino vi rimane fedele per alcuni stereotipi che, ancora dopo Colombo, pretendono di identificare il percorso dell!uomo, come la Torre di Babele, il regno del Prete Gianni o il giardino dell!Eden. Nonostante la sua identificazione come charta del navicare, e invece una carta di rappresentanza, destinata alla contemplazione e allo studio, alla geografia di corte. La nuova edizione della Carta, promossa dal Ministero per i Beni e le Attivita Culturali e presentata da Laura Federzoni e Marco Cattini, e una co-produzione Il Bulino-Biblioteca Estense Universitaria. Il facsimile e stampato in 6 frammenti congiunti e intelati, custoditi nell!apposito cofanetto (110x16x16 cm), unitamente al certificato di garanzia. . Edicion Facisimilar.

MARCELLO (Pietro)
De vitis principum et gestis Venetorum compendium. Venice, per Cristophorum de Pensis
|
Folio. [54]ff. (last leaf blank). Contemporary wooden boards (once covered in leather), spine backed by paper in the 18th century?, title label pasted on spine (paper spine torn in places, no catches or clasps remain). 1502 Rare first edition of Pietro Marcello's history of the Doges of Venice, from the first Paolo Luccio Anafesto in 697 to the 74th Doge Agostino Barbarigo, who ruled from 1486-1501. In the last paragraph mention is made of Barbarigo's successor, the renowned Leonardo Loredan (1501-1521). Little is known of the author but he is almost certainly from the same patrician family as the 69th Doge Nicolo Marcello (previously a trader with the Orient who ruled for little more than a year in 1473/74). Marcello's work was brought up to date in 1554 by Silvestro Girelli, and then again in two editions in the Italian translation of Lodovico Domenichi in 1557 and 1558. Kellner's Frankfurt edition illustrated by Jost Amman appeared in Latin and German editions in 1574.BMSTC (Italian) p. 414. OCLC (Newberry, University of Illinois, Harvard, NYPL only).

OVIDIUS NASO Publius
Metamorphoseon libri XV. Ortographia. Vita Ovidii. Index fabularum.(Vol. I)
|
Venetiis, in aedib. Aldi. Mense Octobri. MDII. (Venezia, Aldo il Vecchio, 1502), in-8, ff. (268, bianco il f. 64 segn. h8, presente), raffinata legatura 800esca francese d'amatore, probabilmente di Bozérian, in marocchino violetto a grana lunga, bordura oro sui piatti, titolo, ricchi fregi e decorazione al pointillé in oro al dorso, tagli dor., dentelle int. (stanca la sola cerniera anteriore). Ancora aldina sul tit. e ripetuta in fine. Trattasi del I vol. (su 3) della prima edizione delle opere di Ovidio pubblicata da Aldo tra l'ottobre 1502 ed il febbraio 1503. Al verso del titolo inizia la dedica a Marin Sanudo, grazie al quale Aldo aveva ottenuto il privilegio del Senato per la “repubblica delle Lettere” che segue la dedica; vengono poi la “Ortographia dictionum graecarum”, la “Vita Ovidii”, l' “Index fabularum” e, finalmente, i “Metamorphoseon libri XV”. Gli altri due volumi, apparsi rispettivamente nel dicembre del 1502 e febbraio 1503, contengono le altre opere dello scrittore latino. E' molto raro trovare set completi ed omogeni dei 3 volumi di questa importantissima edizione, che in genere sono proposti separatamente, come in questo caso. Questo primo volume è tanto più raro in quanto in esso compare per la prima volta la marca tipografica aldina differente dalla prima: “l'àncora con delfino ormai del tutto priva di ogni tratto appartenente alla soppressa cornice a doppia linea” (Fletcher 3 e Laurenziana n. 72). Ottimo esempl. ex-libris G.Abrams. Renouard 37.12-3 e 38.14. UCLA 52. Laurenziana 68 e 72.

Jan Huygen Van Linschoten
Vera effigies et delineatio Insulae Sanctae Helenae qua Ortum Occasium, et Septentrionem spectat . . .
|
Striking set of Three views of St. Helena, engraved by Baptista van Doeticum for Linschoten's Itinerario. A richly ornamented view of the Island of Saint Helena, the half way point across the Atlantic Ocean between Africa and South America. St. Helena was discovered on May 21, 1502 by the Portuguese navigator João da Nova, on his voyage home from India. The Island is named after Helena of Constantinople. While popular myth holds that the Portuguese kept the location a secret until almost the end of the 16th century, both the was described as early as 1508 in a Dutch book that described a 1505 Portuguese expedition led by Francisco de Almeida from the East Indies. Lopo Homem-Reineis published the "Atlas Universal" about 1519 which showed the locations of both St Helena and Ascension. Sometime before 1557, two slaves from Mozambique, one from Java, and two women, escaped from a ship and remained hidden on the island for many years, long enough for their numbers to rise to twenty. Bermudez, the Patriarch of Abyssinia landed at St Helena in 1557 on a voyage to Portugal, remaining on the island for a year. Three Japanese ambassadors on an embassy to the Pope also visited St Helena in 1583. Sir Francis Drake may also have located the island, which is believed to be how the location of the island was known to the English only a few years later, Thomas Cavendish arrived on the island in 1588, during his first attempt to circumnavigate the world and stayed for 12 days. Another English seaman, Captain Abraham Kendall, visited Saint Helena in 1591, and in 1593 Sir James Lancaster stopped at the island on his way home from the East. Once St Helena’s location was more widely known, English ships of war began to lie in wait in the area to attack Portuguese India carracks on their way home. As a result, in 1592 Philip II of Spain and I of Portugal (1527–1598) ordered the annual fleet returning from Goa on no account to touch at St Helena. Over time, St. Helena became less important to the Portugese and increasingly important to the Dutch, who finally claimed the island in 1633.

Waller, 886 ; NLM, 520 ; DSB, I, p. 603-604 ; manque à Wellcome, Osler, Pilcher, Reynolds, Lilly et aux autres importantes collections médicales. Édition originale, d'une grande rareté. Un texte fondamental de la littérature anatomique bâti sur l'observation et la méthode expérimentale, considéré par l'historien de la médecine H. Haeser comme "l'?uvre la plus importante de la période pré-vésalienne". Benedetti avait commencé à rassembler des notes pour son traité dès 1483, et des fragments manuscrits circulaient déjà dans les premières années du XVIe siècle. Cette première édition comporte une épître à l'empereur Maximilien datée de 1497. L'ouvrage, qui se compose de cinq livres donnant une description du corps humain à peu près a calce ad caput, s'achève par un éloge de la dissection dans lequel l'auteur encourage tous ses étudiants, ainsi que les médecins et chirurgiens établis, à ne pas se limiter à la théorie, mais à rechercher la vérité dans le théâtre anatomique. Alessandro Benedetti (Legnano Fortezza, près de Vérone, v. 1450 - Venise, ap. 1511) enseignait la médecine à Padoue, où il avait fondé un théâtre en bois démontable (l'empereur Maximilien assista à l'un de ses cours publics).

TRactatus [sic] sacerdotalis d[e] sacrame[n]tis: de[que] diuinis officiis et eoru[m] administrato[n]ibus.

[Strassburg: Johann Knobloch, 1502-8?]. Small 4to (19 cm; 7.5"). A8C-D4D8F-K4L-M8N-R4S8T6 (-T5); [97 (of 98)] ff. (without the "tabula"). Also known by the title De sacramentis, Nicolaus de Plove's work on the sacraments of the Roman Catholic church seems to have been printed for the first time ca. 1475, with approximately 10 additional incunable editions. This edition does not match the collation of any edition listed in VD16, COPAC, or WorldCat, but comparison of its type with that of two early 16th-century editions from Knobloch's press is sufficient to assign this printing to his Strassburg establishment and to give it a date in the first decade of the 16th century. The text is complete but it is clear that the next to the last leaf is missing: It would contain the "Tabula" and possibly the colophon. The final blank is present. Nicolaus's text is printed in double-column format in gothic, black-letter type, with guide letters but the initials unaccomplished. Evidence of readership: Marginalia throughout; a small area at the beginning of four lines on A6v with early reader's inking over of the lightly printed letters (in a near perfect approximation of the gothic type). Provenance: Ownership signature of "G. Lunndro, Woodmansey, 1852"; bookplate of Madison University; later bookplate of Colgate University (i.e., Madison changed names in 1890); later transferred to Colgate Rochester Divinity School. Deaccessioned. Not in VD16; not in Adams. 19th-century plain boards. Ex-library with bookplates of two different institutions; pressure-stamp on title- and other leaves; five-digit acquisition number stamped in lower margin of first leaf of the prologue; residue of a charge pocket on rear pastedown and ink transfer to rear free endpaper.

The austerities and self-mortification which he practiced drew upon him the remonstrations of his friend, William of Champeaux, but they did not avial to change his manner of life... Indeed it was his saintliness and personality rather than the force of his intellect which made him so powerful in the Europe of his day, and found visible expression in the rapid growth of the Cistercian Order in the 12th century under his influence. Bernard's writings reveal a clear and penetrating grasps of theological problems, a fine eloquence of which his sermons give some suggestion, an extraordinary intimate acquaintance with the Bible, and, above all, a faith inspired by the sublimes mysticism."--Cross: Oxford Dict. 16TH-FRANCE-PARIS-QUARENGIS

Orthographia et flexus dictionum [.]; Sylvarum libri quinque, Thebaidos libri duodecim, Achilleidos duo.

[Venice]: in aedibus Aldi. , 1502 - FIRST ALDINE EDITION, Aldine device at end of ‘Orthographia’, lightly washed leaving just a few faint spots, a library punch-stamp to first leaf unobtrusively repaired, ff. [296], 8vo., modern dark brown calf, boards panelled in blind, backstrip with five raised bands, red morocco label in second compartment, a.e.g., very good The first Aldine edition of the poems of Statius, complete with the section of Greek-Latin glossary titled ‘Orthographia’ which according to Renouard is sometimes missing (though Adams treats it as a separate work). It is here bound before the text of the poems. This is the first post-incunable edition of Statius, following a number of printings of his shorter poems ni the 1470s and three printings of his works in the 1480-90s. Statius’s works comprise the ‘Thebaid’, the outstanding Silver Age epic, about the battle at Thebes between Eteocles and Polyneices, the ‘Silvae’, a collection of shorter miscellaneous poems, and portions of the ‘Achilleid’, an unfinished epic about Achilles. Moss calls this edition ‘rare and in some request among the curious’. This copy was formerly in the John Crerar Library, established by the American industrialist, now part of the University of Chicago; the library limited its collections to science and medicine early in the 20th century.

TIENE, Gaetano
Expositio in libro de celo & mundo. Cum questioe Domini Egidii de materia celi nuperrime impressa & diligentissime Emendata
|
Woodcut initials & woodcut publisher's device on final leaf. Double columns, Gothic type. 84 leaves. Folio, attractive antique reversed calf. [Venice: B. Locatellus for O. Scotus, 13 July 1502]. Fourth edition (1st ed.: Padua, 1476). Gaetano da Thiene (1387-1465), of Vicenza, was a student of Paolo Nicoletti of Venice (fl. 1420). Gaetano was one of the chief exponents of Italian Averroism and wrote a number of commentaries on the scientific works of Aristotle. "Books I and II of the De caelo treat of astronomical theories; III and IV, of the elements. Drawing upon theories advanced by his predecessors, Aristotle's theories in general may be summarized as representing the earth as fixed at the center of a spherical universe, with the spheres of the moon, Mercury, Venus, the sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn in orbit around the earth, and beyond them the sphere of the fixed stars and the realm of the primum movens or force which, every twenty-four hours, caused the planetary spheres to complete their revolutions, while each planet with an individual motion moved at times slightly retrograde."!Stillwell, The Awakening Interest in Science during the First Century of Printing, pp. 11-12. Leaves 78-end contain the De materia coeli of Egidio Colonna (d. 1316), also known as Giles of Rome. A disciple of Thomas Aquinas while a student in Paris, Colonna was the first Augustinian appointed to teach in the University of Paris and his deep learning earned for him the title of Doctor fundatissimus. In 1295 he was appointed Archbishop of Bourges by Pope Boniface VIII. Colonna's De materia coeli is "especially noteworthy...[it] takes the position -- against Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and the majority of contemporary scholars -- that celestial matter is identical to that of the sublunary world."!D.S.B., V, p. 403.

ALBERTUS MAGNUS (Pseudo-).
Two treatises on magic and the marvels of the Universe attributed to Albertus Magnus in a very rare Antwerp edition of 1502, [Liber aggregationibus] De virtutibus herbarum. De virtutibus lapidum. De virutibus animalium et mirabilibus mundi. Item parvum regimen sanitatis valde utile.

Govaert Bac, 1502., Antwerp, - 4to. Nineteenth-century polished calf with double gilt lines along the edges of both sides, gilt spine with title lettered in gold, marbled endpapers, gilt inner dentelles. With a full-page woodcut (115 x 84 mm) of a monk offering a book to a prince, repeated on the verso of the title; and full-page woodcut of the printer's device of Govaert Bac on the verso of the last leaf (133 x 84 mm): 'g [masters mark] b' cut within a birdcage on a black fond, with the coat of arms of Antwerp underneath (see NAT II, 5-6); rubricated in red throughout. 36 lvs. (Collation: a8, b4, c8, d4, e8, f4). 36 ll. to a page. Fourth copy known of this very rare post-incunable edition, and the fourth edition of this text printed in the Netherlands, of these two very popular treatises: (1) The book of secrets of Albertus Magnus, or Experiments, but mostly referred to as the Liber aggregationis: a combined work in which are described the virtues, real or imagined, of plants, stones, and animals. The plants, stones - the stones part includes numerous gemstones -, and animals are each briefly described and magical properties explained, and (2) De mirabilibus mundi, on the marvels of the Universe, that covers a variety of topics: astrology, zoology, astronomy, medicine, and physiology. These two treatises are sometimes attributed to Albertus Magnus (ca. 1193-1280), sometimes to Albertus of Saxonia, but nowadays considered to belong to the spurious works of Albertus. Added are (1) a section on maintaining one's health, the Regimen sanitatis attributed to Benedictus Kanuti (f. 24v-26r), and (2) the anonymous Quaestiones naturalis philosophorum (f. 26v-36r). Thorndike devoted an entire chapter to 'Three treatises ascribed to Albertus Magnus but usually considered spurious: Experimenta Alberti (=1), De mirabilibus mundi (=2), De secretis mulierum (not in this edition)'. The two treatises already circulated under Albert Magnus' name in the middle ages and appeared in numerous editions in the early years of printing, proving that these brief collections of superstitious experiments and sensational marvels were even more popular than Albert's longer, more difficult and argumentative, theological and scientific works.In the first treatise the author intends to make use of Kiranides and the book of Alcorath, later said to be by Hermes, and to speak first of certain herbs, than of certain stones and certain animals and of their virtues, showing the importance of natural objects in magic, and the virtues here ascribed to them are often indeed magical: one may become invisible, not feel pain, boil water instantly, make a rainbow appear, excite love between two persons, or arouse joy, sadness and other emotional and intellectual states, interpret any dream, and prophesy concerning the future, to name only a few instances. The treatise has an experimental character, which is to be classed as one of those 'books of experiments', or 'experimental books', and if this treatise is not by Albert himself, there can at least be little doubt that it pretends to be a product of his experimental school among the Dominicans at Cologne.The second treatise, the 'Marvels of the Universe' contains more theological discussion of the usual scholastic sort than the first, and so approximates rather more nearly to the form of most of Albert's works. The 'Marvels' enters upon a long and learned preliminary discussion of the validity, causes, and principles of magic before beginning its list of particular marvels, showing that the mind can bind and alter objects as it desires; the human soul can alter its own body or exterior objects, especially if its influence concurs with a favourable astrological hour. It further treats the magic power in man and specific marvels. Also a number of cures for certain diseases are described. Many of the recipes aim at magical or optical illusions, f.e. the fabrication of marvellous candles, lights and combustibles, some of which are perhaps akin to modern fi [Attributes: Hard Cover]

- Folio. [54]ff. (last leaf blank). Contemporary wooden boards (once covered in leather), spine backed by paper in the 18th century?, title label pasted on spine (paper spine torn in places, no catches or clasps remain). 1502 Rare first edition of Pietro Marcello's history of the Doges of Venice, from the first Paolo Luccio Anafesto in 697 to the 74th Doge Agostino Barbarigo, who ruled from 1486-1501. In the last paragraph mention is made of Barbarigo's successor, the renowned Leonardo Loredan (1501-1521). Little is known of the author but he is almost certainly from the same patrician family as the 69th Doge Nicolo Marcello (previously a trader with the Orient who ruled for little more than a year in 1473/74). Marcello's work was brought up to date in 1554 by Silvestro Girelli, and then again in two editions in the Italian translation of Lodovico Domenichi in 1557 and 1558. Kellner's Frankfurt edition illustrated by Jost Amman appeared in Latin and German editions in 1574. BMSTC (Italian) p. 414. OCLC (Newberry, University of Illinois, Harvard, NYPL only).

It is chiefly in his commentary on the Physics, written around 1277, that he considered scientific problems... "Among Giles's theses that have attracted the attention of more recent historians of science are those relating to quantity, which led him to admit the existence of natural minima below which concrete material substance cannot exist and which thus imply an atomistic theory of matter. The study of movement induced him to investigate the nature of a vacuum, to which he attributed a kind of suction force, observable with the aid of the clepsydra, the cupping glass, or the siphon...His observations on the accelerated motion of falling bodies have similarly been noted."!D.S.B., V, p. 402.

Pollux, Julius
[Onomasticon] Pollucis vocabularii index in latinum tralatus
|
Venice: Aldus Manutius, 1502. First edition pPollux, Julius [Poludeukes, Ioulios] (fl. 2nd cent. A.D.). [Onomasticon] Pollucis vocabularii index in latinum tralatus, ut vel graece nescientibus nota sint . . . Folio. [104]ff. Venice: apud Aldum, April 1502. 296 x 201 mm. 18th or early 19th cent. gilt-ruled calf, a little rubbed, rebacked preserving original gilt spine. Fine copy./p#11;pEditio princeps. Pollux, a Greek grammarian and sophist from Alexandria, was appointed professor of rhetoric at the Academy in Athens by the Roman Emperor Commodus (son of Marcus Aurelius). According to Philostratus's Lives of the Sophists, Pollux was given this post on account of his melodious voice. Pollux was the author of numerous rhetorical works, of which only a few titles survive, and the Onomasticon, a thesaurus of Attic Greek synonyms and phrases arranged thematically in ten books. "It supplies in passing much rare and valuable information on many points of classical antiquity- objects in daily life, the theater, politics- and quotes numerous fragments of lost works. Pollux was probably the person satirized by Lucian as a worthless and ignorant person who gains a reputation as an orator by sheer effrontery, and pilloried in his Lexiphanes, a satire upon the affectation of obscure and obsolete words" (Encyclopaedia Britannica [1999]). The editio princeps of Pollux's Onomasticon, issued by Aldus Manutius in 1502, made the work widely available to Renaissance scholars and antiquaries, and anatomists of the period drew on the Onomasticon for obscure Greek words to describe parts of the body. The Onomasticon was a valuable source of information for several important nineteenth century works of classical scholarship, and has continued to attract the interest of researchers in a variety of fields-in 2004, John H. Dierkx published an article on "Dermatologic terms in the Onomasticon of Julius Pollux" in The American Journal of Dermatopathology. Adams P-1787. Ahmanson-Murphy 54. Renouard, pp. 32-33. 40354/p#11;

Carta Del Cantino. Charta del navichare per le isole novamente trovate in la parte de l'India
|
Ministerio De Cultura De Italia - El Planisferio de Cantino, también conocido como mapa de Cantino, es el mapa más antiguo existente que muestra los descubrimientos portugueses del siglo XV. Su fecha de elaboración es incierta, y el cartógrafo que lo trazó es anónimo, probablemente de origen portugués. Lo que se sabe es que el mapa fue subrepticiamente llevado a Italia por Alberto Cantino en 1502. El mapa lleva la inscripción Carta da navigar per le Isole nouam tr [ovate] in le parte de l'India: dono Alberto Cantino al S. Duca Hercole. Cantino era un agente del italiano Duque de Ferrara, que consiguió llegar a ser secretario particular del rey portugués Don Manuel I. El mapa es notable por representar con gran precisión zonas del mundo hasta entonces poco exploradas por los europeos. La costa de Brasil aparece parcialmente trazada, confirmando la conjetura de Pedro Álvares Cabral, que dos años antes afirmó que Brasil no era sólo un territorio pequeño, sino quizás un continente que se extendía mucho más al sur. La información contenida en el mapa tenía entonces un gran valor, y tuvo un gran impacto en las relaciones comerciales de Italia con Portugal en la época. En el planisferio de Cantino aparecen varios datos notables, que han llevado a muchas conjeturas sobre el origen de la información contenida, y la información histórica sobre la exploración europea. Un ejemplo es que el mapa describe la península de Florida en 1502, cuando el descubrimiento de Florida es atribuido a Juan Ponce de León en 1513. Adicionalmente, el continente africano aparece notablemente bien trazado, y su línea costera es delineada con un detalle sorprendente para la época (con errores de menos de 45 km), lo cual es una proeza considerando que en esa época no existía en Europa ni el mundo árabe una forma precisa de medir la longitud, dato imprescindible para una cartografía adecuada. El planisferio de Cantino se encuentra en la Biblioteca Estense de Módena, Italia, donde ha sido guardado desde 1868. The most important manuscript map surviving from the early Age of Discovery, the Cantino World Map is named for Alberto Cantino, an Italian diplomatic agent in Lisbon who obtained it in 1502 for the Duke of Ferrara. It incorporates extensive new geographical information based on four series of voyages: Columbus to the Caribbean, Pedro Álvarez Cabral to Brazil, Vasco de Gama followed by Cabral to eastern Africa and India, and the brothers Corte-Real to Greenland and Newfoundland. Except for Columbus, all had sailed under the Portuguese flag.

Pollux, Julius
|
Venice: Aldus Manutius, 1502. First edition pPollux, Julius [Poludeukes, Ioulios] (fl. 2nd cent. A.D.). [Onomasticon] Pollucis vocabularii index in latinum tralatus, ut vel graece nescientibus nota sint . . . Folio. [104]ff. Venice: apud Aldum, April 1502. 296 x 201 mm. 18th or early 19th cent. gilt-ruled calf, a little rubbed, rebacked preserving original gilt spine. Fine copy./p#11;pEditio princeps. Pollux, a Greek grammarian and sophist from Alexandria, was appointed professor of rhetoric at the Academy in Athens by the Roman Emperor Commodus (son of Marcus Aurelius). According to Philostratus's Lives of the Sophists, Pollux was given this post on account of his melodious voice. Pollux was the author of numerous rhetorical works, of which only a few titles survive, and the Onomasticon, a thesaurus of Attic Greek synonyms and phrases arranged thematically in ten books. "It supplies in passing much rare and valuable information on many points of classical antiquity- objects in daily life, the theater, politics- and quotes numerous fragments of lost works. Pollux was probably the person satirized by Lucian as a worthless and ignorant person who gains a reputation as an orator by sheer effrontery, and pilloried in his Lexiphanes, a satire upon the affectation of obscure and obsolete words" (Encyclopaedia Britannica [1999]). The editio princeps of Pollux's Onomasticon, issued by Aldus Manutius in 1502, made the work widely available to Renaissance scholars and antiquaries, and anatomists of the period drew on the Onomasticon for obscure Greek words to describe parts of the body. The Onomasticon was a valuable source of information for several important nineteenth century works of classical scholarship, and has continued to attract the interest of researchers in a variety of fields-in 2004, John H. Dierkx published an article on "Dermatologic terms in the Onomasticon of Julius Pollux" in The American Journal of Dermatopathology. Adams P-1787. Ahmanson-Murphy 54. Renouard, pp. 32-33. 40354/p#11;

Carta Del Cantino. Charta del navichare per le isole novamente trovate in la parte de l'India
|
Ministerio De Cultura De Italia Edición Facisimilar El Planisferio de Cantino, también conocido como mapa de Cantino, es el mapa más antiguo existente que muestra los descubrimientos portugueses del siglo XV. Su fecha de elaboración es incierta, y el cartógrafo que lo trazó es anónimo, probablemente de origen portugués. Lo que se sabe es que el mapa fue subrepticiamente llevado a Italia por Alberto Cantino en 1502. El mapa lleva la inscripción Carta da navigar per le Isole nouam tr [ovate] in le parte de l'India: dono Alberto Cantino al S. Duca Hercole. Cantino era un agente del italiano Duque de Ferrara, que consiguió llegar a ser secretario particular del rey portugués Don Manuel I. El mapa es notable por representar con gran precisión zonas del mundo hasta entonces poco exploradas por los europeos. La costa de Brasil aparece parcialmente trazada, confirmando la conjetura de Pedro Álvares Cabral, que dos años antes afirmó que Brasil no era sólo un territorio pequeño, sino quizás un continente que se extendía mucho más al sur. La información contenida en el mapa tenía entonces un gran valor, y tuvo un gran impacto en las relaciones comerciales de Italia con Portugal en la época. En el planisferio de Cantino aparecen varios datos notables, que han llevado a muchas conjeturas sobre el origen de la información contenida, y la información histórica sobre la exploración europea. Un ejemplo es que el mapa describe la península de Florida en 1502, cuando el descubrimiento de Florida es atribuido a Juan Ponce de León en 1513. Adicionalmente, el continente africano aparece notablemente bien trazado, y su línea costera es delineada con un detalle sorprendente para la época (con errores de menos de 45 km), lo cual es una proeza considerando que en esa época no existía en Europa ni el mundo árabe una forma precisa de medir la longitud, dato imprescindible para una cartografía adecuada. El planisferio de Cantino se encuentra en la Biblioteca Estense de Módena, Italia, donde ha sido guardado desde 1868. The most important manuscript map surviving from the early Age of Discovery, the Cantino World Map is named for Alberto Cantino, an Italian diplomatic agent in Lisbon who obtained it in 1502 for the Duke of Ferrara.

Aufl. 02.2008 Gewicht : 1050 g Aus der Reihe : Bibliographien zur Klassischen Philologie 3 In diesem "Handbuch der illustrierten Vergil-Ausgaben 1502-1840" hat der Autor, ein bekannter Vergil-Experte und Bibliograph, alle über 550 Editionen oder Übersetzungen Vergils, die mindestens einen Holzschnitt oder Kupferstich (dann meist als Frontispiz) enthalten, ermittelt und in einem ausführlichen Katalog (mit Rubriken wie Beschreibung, Würdigung, Abhängigkeiten, Bibliographie, Zugänglichkeit) vorgestellt. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Analyse der etwa 70 größeren Illustrations-Zyklen zur Aeneis, die in der Regel 12, in mehr als einem halben Dutzend Fällen aber auch zwischen 50 und 138 Bilder aufweisen. Für die meisten dieser Szenen- oder Titelbilder werden gedruckte Abbildungen oder, worauf der Schwerpunkt liegt, über das Internet erreichbare Digitalisate nachgewiesen. Die eigentliche Basis sind die eigens für dieses Werk angefertigten Digitalisate von Vergil-Illustrationen aus den reichen Beständen der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek München (BSB). Etwa 4000 solcher Bilder auf weit über 6000 digitalisierten Seiten sind auf den beiden beigefügten DVDs erstmals in kompakter Form zugänglich. Das durch mehrere Indizes (darunter einen Sujet-Katalog) bereicherte Werk entwickelt Grundzüge einer Geschichte und Typologie der Vergil-Illustration und erschließt ein fast unbekanntes, aber wichtiges Feld der Vergil-Rezeption. Der 1933 geborene Verfasser, emeritierter Ordinarius für Lateinische Philologie an der Universität München, ist nicht nur durch mehrere größere kommentierte Bibliographien zur römischen Literatur ausgewiesen (so zu Vergil 1980, zu Tacitus 1990, in den beiden ersten Bänden der vorliegenden Reihe zu Ennius 2003 und zu Cato Censorius 2004, auch innerhalb des von ihm herausgegebenen und zum größeren Teil verfassten "Handbuch der lateinischen Literatur der Antike, Band 1: Die archaische Literatur", 2002), sondern auch durch mehr als zwei Dutzend wissenschaftlicher Publikationen zu P. Vergilius Maro (70 -19 v. Chr.), darunter eine Einführung in dessen Hauptwerk, die Aeneis (1999). Von seinem Interesse für die Rezeption Vergils in der Kunst zeugen mehrere Aufsätze und besonders seine fünf Beihefte zur Münchener Ausstellung "Vergil visuell" von 1998. The author of this guide to illustrated Vergil editions from 1502-1840, a noted Vergil expert and bibliographer, has examined the more than 550 editions of Vergil which contain at least one woodcut or engraving (mostly as a frontispiece) and presents them here in a comprehensive catalogue, with descriptions, evaluations, bibliographies and location details. The focus of the study is an analysis of some 70 major cycles of illustrations to the Aeneid, which generally consist of 12 pictures but in more than half a dozen cases contain between 50 and 138 pictures. Reproductions of most of these illustrations and frontispieces are available in printed works or in digital form via the Internet, where the emphasis of this study lies. The actual basis of the study is the digitization of Vergil illustrations from the rich holdings of the Bavarian State Library in Munich (BSB), specially prepared for this project. Some 4000 images on more than 6000 digitized pages can be accessed for the first time in compact form on the accompanying DVDs. With its several indexes (including a subject catalogue), this work sets out the foundations for a history and typology of Vergil illustrations and opens up and almost unknown but important field of Vergil reception..

BEROALDUS, PH.
One of the most beautiful written Latin schoolbooks for children at the end of the Middle Ages Libellus quo Septem Sapientum Sentensiae Discutiuntur.
|
Bologna, Benedict Hector, 1502, Die X Octobris. - 4to. Modern half vellum. With large white on black woodcut printer's device at the end. (24) lvs. Rare second Bologna-edition, first published by Benedict Hector in 1498, of one of the most beautiful written Latin schoolbooks for children at the turn of the 15th century. Philippe Beroaldo, the Elder (1453-1505), a celebrated Italian literary author, opened a school at Bologna when only 19 years old. He taught at Parma and Milan, and later at the Paris University, where he inspired French youth for classical literature. He was recalled to Bologna and offered the chair in literature at the Bologna Uninversity, where he remained until his death. He edited a large number of classical authors, which made him famous throughout Europe, but the present attractively composed schoolbook received no less fame, being published in the early 16th century at Paris, Deventer, Basel, etc. In comprehensive and entertaining stories the children are taught at the hand of the proverbs and sayings of Seven Wise Men. In the colophon the title reads: "Heptalogos sive Septem Sapientes". The book is well produced too, printed in a clear and regular Roman type, including abbrevation-marks, and similar Greek types for quotations, with legenda in a slightly larger Roman type in the margins, all initials left blanc, with guide-letters. Fine large-paper copy. STC Italian 89; cf. Adams B 770 (Paris-edition of 1505); Buisson p. 61 (Bologna-edition of 1498, followed by a Paris-edition of 1509); NUC lists two copies.

BEROALDUS, PH.
One of the most beautiful written Latin schoolbooks for children at the end of the Middle Ages Libellus quo Septem Sapientum Sentensiae Discutiuntur.
|
Bologna, Benedict Hector, 1502, Die X Octobris.. 4to. Modern half vellum. With large white on black woodcut printer's device at the end. (24) lvs.. Rare second Bologna-edition, first published by Benedict Hector in 1498, of one of the most beautiful written Latin schoolbooks for children at the turn of the 15th century. Philippe Beroaldo, the Elder (1453-1505), a celebrated Italian literary author, opened a school at Bologna when only 19 years old. He taught at Parma and Milan, and later at the Paris University, where he inspired French youth for classical literature. He was recalled to Bologna and offered the chair in literature at the Bologna Uninversity, where he remained until his death. He edited a large number of classical authors, which made him famous throughout Europe, but the present attractively composed schoolbook received no less fame, being published in the early 16th century at Paris, Deventer, Basel, etc. In comprehensive and entertaining stories the children are taught at the hand of the proverbs and sayings of Seven Wise Men. In the colophon the title reads: "Heptalogos sive Septem Sapientes". The book is well produced too, printed in a clear and regular Roman type, including abbrevation-marks, and similar Greek types for quotations, with legenda in a slightly larger Roman type in the margins, all initials left blanc, with guide-letters. Fine large-paper copy. STC Italian 89; cf. Adams B 770 (Paris-edition of 1505); Buisson p. 61 (Bologna-edition of 1498, followed by a Paris-edition of 1509); NUC lists two copies.

JOSEPHUS, Flavius.
Of great importance for the study of ancient Jewish history, the archeology of the canon books and the apocrypha De antiquitatibus ac de bello Judaico.
|
Venice, excusit formis Bernardinus Vercellensis, sumptibus Andreae Asulani, 1502, XII Kal. Novemb.. Folio. Contemporary blindtooled half vellum over wooden boards, remnants of two brass clasps. Some initials left blank, but mostly provided in woodcuts. (14), CCLX (=261), (1) lvs.. Fine Venetian edition of Flavius Josephus's famous works on the ancient Jewish history in twenty books and on the Jewish wars in seven books, mostly published together. The present Latin translation, first printed at Augsburg by Johann Schüssler in 1470, has long been attributed to Rufinus, but was more probably made by Cassiodorus. In the first work, the classical Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (ca. 37-100) treats the ancient history of the Jews, since the creation of the world to the revolt of Judea against the Romans. This work is of great importance, not only for the study of ancient Jewish history but also for the archeology of the canon books and the apocrypha. He wrote it for a Roman public, explaining Jewish traditions to outsiders and supplying a wealth of information on Jewish customs and habits. The second work, on the Jewish war against the Romans and the destruction of Jerusalem was originally written in Hebrew, but translated by the author himself into Greek to offer it to Vespasianus. Josephus had also taken part in this war and his work is very complete and full of details on this subject. His works were highly valued, especially in the sixteenth century. Fine copy in contemporary binding, with contemp. ms. rubrication and marginal notes in red on title and in text up till leaf XVI. Contemporary ms. notes in margins and on verso last leaf, partly affected by the frayed margin: "cronologia filiorum venerandi Bartolomei sirtich (?)" dated from 1533 to 1540.- (Outer margins of title frayed and of last two lvs. dam., not affecting the text).

(colophon, f. CXCVIII) Impressum Venetiis Ioannis Tacuini de Tridino, Anno MCCCCCII pridie idus Octobris, (Venezia, Giovanni Tacuino 1502) in-folio (mm 314 x 205) , ff. (4), CLXXXXIX, (1), leg. moderna in p. pergamena, titolo ms. in caratteri gotici al tit. e al dorso liscio. Carattere romano, testo inquadrato dal commento, il tutto su 62 linee. Grande silografia al titolo (mm 84x150) raffigurante Ovidio in cattedra, con i due commentatori in atto di scrivere; la silografia deriva dall’edizione di Giovenale del 1494 pur con varianti. Iniziali silogr.; grande impresa edit. al colophon. Seconda edizione dei Fasti ovidiani (prima 1497, sempre edita dal Tacuino), con il commento di Marso Paolo (1442-1512) e di Costanzo Antonio (1436-1490). I Fasti, come le Metamorfosi, vennero composti da Ovidio ( 43 a.C.-18 d.C.) per assecondare i desideri di moralizzazione della società romana e di salvaguardia degli antichi costumi sostenuti dall’imperatore Augusto. Nell’opera, in sei libri di distici elegiaci, Ovidio volle illustrare il calendario romano, con tutte le feste e i riti religiosi. I libri dovevano essere dodici, uno per ogni mese, ma al sesto libro Ovidio decise di non continuare l’opera. Edizione rarissima, censita in due sole biblioteche italiane (Roma, Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale; Reggio Emilia, Biblioteca provinciale dei cappuccini ).Ottimo esempl. a grandi margini (piccole tracce di penna in inchiostro bruno al tit., restauro al margine dell’ultimo f.). Sander 5301. Essling 1125 ( cf. fig. p. 237). STC 481. Adams O 456 (ed. 1508). "Opera liturgico-cronologica sul calendario delle feste romane…contengono una parte astronomica, un'illustrazione dei giorni festivi e delle solenni ricorrenze, con descrizioni di usi, cerimonie e spettacoli..."

Le terze rime di Dante

(in fine: Venetiis, in Aedibus Aldi. Accuratissime. Men. Aug. 1502).In 8° (mm. 160 x 100), c.nn. 244 (la l 2 bianca, a separare l'Inferno dal Purgatorio). Prima edizione aldina di Dante, e prima edizione della Commedia in formato tascabile. Secondo Renouard appare qui per la prima volta, al verso dell'ultima carta, la celebre marca tipografica con l'ancora. In realtà l'ancora si trova per la prima volta nel secondo tomo dei "Poetae Christiani", datato giugno 1502, mentre con "Le terze rime" siamo nell'agosto dello stesso anno. Il testo, curato da Pietro Bembo, servì di base a tutte le edizioni successive. L'Accademia della Crusca lo adottò per l'edizione di Firenze, Manzani, 1595; Volpi lo scelse per la cominiana del 1726-27. Ottimo esemplare dai margini insolitamente ampi. Legatura di François Bozerian le Jeune (che esercitò dal 1801 al 1818) in marocchino nocciola con impressioni a secco e in oro al dorso e ai piatti. Tagli dorati. Dentelles.

ALbertinus de Lisona, (Venetiis) 1502 - Perg. con materiale ant. 24 cc.nn. L'acenno alla vittoria di Britannia fa supporre che P. M. abbia scritto, fra il 43 e il 44 d.C., i tre libri che costituiscono la più antica opera geografica in latino a noi giunta. L'opera è fondamentale per lo studio della cartografia classica. Il Barbaro (1453 o 1454 - 1493) viene collocato nel gruppo dei grandi filologi della seconda metà del Quattrocento, accanto a Lorenzo Valla, a Giorgio Merula, che egli conobbe assai bene, al Poliziano, a cui lo univa , oltre a una personale simpatia, il comune proposito di restaurare la classicità nel suo splendore offuscato dalle barbarie. - Antico ex-libris ms. e 2 antichi timbri sul titolo. La carta leggermente brunita, alone d'acqua al margine int. di parte del vol., strappetto al margine int. del titolo, ma esemplare a larghi margini con testimoni.

A lovely little book, bound in letterpress-printed pink silk, on the Dutch discoveries in America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the East Indies, the Arctic and even the Antarctic. After a brief account of Joshua van der Berg’s 1445 (actually 1432) discovery of the Azores, the book recounts the discoveries in four sections: the Arctic, the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Antarctic. This last covers Dirck Gerritszoon’s still disputed possible sighting of the South Shetland Islands in 1598. The table at the end lists the principal sites with the name of the explorer, date, longitude and latitude. The author’s preliminary note provides unusually detailed information about the origins of the book, and the printed advertisement on the back cover gives a list of the author’s school maps: seven already published by Oomkens and three more in press (with prices and references to reviews in seven newspapers and magazines in 1841 and 1842).Van Wijk (1781-1847) began work as a school teacher and author of school books in 1802, and is best known for his 11-volume geographic dictionary (1821-1835). When Jan Oomkens (1809/10-1872), the third bookseller, printer and publisher of that name, completed his studies studied at Van Wijk’s Kampen institute, he extracted a promise, made half in jest, that Van Wijk would edit or write Oomkens’ first publication. The result was a series of school maps Van Wijk produced with the aid of his colleague R. van de Weerd and the lithographer C. F. J. Jaeger, and the present book. The excellent laid paper used for the text, table and endpapers must have been made to the publisher’s order, for it is watermarked: J Oomkens = horn on a crowned shield above initials JO. We have located only four other copies of this book, and it is not clear whether any other is preserved in a pink silk binding.In fine condition, with the paper fresh and crisp. The silk is frayed along the front hinge and at the corners, but the binding is still in very good condition. A rare and lovely little book, with valuable information on Oomkens’ rare school maps.

ALBERTUS MAGNUS (Pseudo-).

Antwerp, Govaert Bac, 1502. - 4to. Nineteenth-century polished calf with double gilt lines along the edges of both sides, gilt spine with title lettered in gold, marbled endpapers, gilt inner dentelles. With a full-page woodcut (115 x 84 mm) of a monk offering a book to a prince, repeated on the verso of the title; and full-page woodcut of the printer's device of Govaert Bac on the verso of the last leaf (133 x 84 mm): 'g [masters mark] b' cut within a birdcage on a black fond, with the coat of arms of Antwerp underneath (see NAT II, 5-6); rubricated in red throughout. 36 lvs. (Collation: a8, b4, c8, d4, e8, f4). 36 ll. to a page. Fourth copy known of this very rare post-incunable edition, and the fourth edition of this text printed in the Netherlands, of these two very popular treatises: (1) The book of secrets of Albertus Magnus, or Experiments, but mostly referred to as the Liber aggregationis: a combined work in which are described the virtues, real or imagined, of plants, stones, and animals. The plants, stones - the stones part includes numerous gemstones -, and animals are each briefly described and magical properties explained, and (2) De mirabilibus mundi, on the marvels of the Universe, that covers a variety of topics: astrology, zoology, astronomy, medicine, and physiology. These two treatises are sometimes attributed to Albertus Magnus (ca. 1193-1280), sometimes to Albertus of Saxonia, but nowadays considered to belong to the spurious works of Albertus. Added are (1) a section on maintaining one's health, the Regimen sanitatis attributed to Benedictus Kanuti (f. 24v-26r), and (2) the anonymous Quaestiones naturalis philosophorum (f. 26v-36r). Thorndike devoted an entire chapter to 'Three treatises ascribed to Albertus Magnus but usually considered spurious: Experimenta Alberti (=1), De mirabilibus mundi (=2), De secretis mulierum (not in this edition)'. The two treatises already circulated under Albert Magnus' name in the middle ages and appeared in numerous editions in the early years of printing, proving that these brief collections of superstitious experiments and sensational marvels were even more popular than Albert's longer, more difficult and argumentative, theological and scientific works.In the first treatise the author intends to make use of Kiranides and the book of Alcorath, later said to be by Hermes, and to speak first of certain herbs, than of certain stones and certain animals and of their virtues, showing the importance of natural objects in magic, and the virtues here ascribed to them are often indeed magical: one may become invisible, not feel pain, boil water instantly, make a rainbow appear, excite love between two persons, or arouse joy, sadness and other emotional and intellectual states, interpret any dream, and prophesy concerning the future, to name only a few instances. The treatise has an experimental character, which is to be classed as one of those 'books of experiments', or 'experimental books', and if this treatise is not by Albert himself, there can at least be little doubt that it pretends to be a product of his experimental school among the Dominicans at Cologne.The second treatise, the 'Marvels of the Universe' contains more theological discussion of the usual scholastic sort than the first, and so approximates rather more nearly to the form of most of Albert's works. The 'Marvels' enters upon a long and learned preliminary discussion of the validity, causes, and principles of magic before beginning its list of particular marvels, showing that the mind can bind and alter objects as it desires; the human soul can alter its own body or exterior objects, especially if its influence concurs with a favourable astrological hour. It further treats the magic power in man and specific marvels. Also a number of cures for certain diseases are described. Many of the recipes aim at magical or optical illusions, f.e. the fabrication of marvellous candles, lights and combustibles, some of which are perhaps akin to modern fi [Attributes: Hard Cover]
