HOLKOT, Robertus
Super librum sapientie
|
Basel: Jacob de Pforczen (Jakob Wolff). 1506. Contemporary blindtooled calf (scuffed) over wooden boards rebacked with with remnants of clasps; tools include a deer roll, decorative knots, and floral stamps; "R Holkot" stamped on front cover Folio . Handsomely printed early Basel edition of the English Dominican, Robert Holcot's (c. 1290-1349) commentaries on the Book of Wisdom (Lectiones super librum Sapientiae). Holkot, a follower of Willaim of Ockam, played an important role in the development of English scholasticism. The ODNB notes: "Holcot's works typically show a great range and number of quotations in illustration of his themes. The sources he used were astonishingly numerous and varied, ranging from the common exempla collections of the period to the rarer of Seneca's letters and the Noctes Atticae of Aulus Gellius, ... This is particularly true in his Commentary on Wisdom." It has been identified as a prime literary source for Chaucer's Nun's Priest's Tale (Robert A. Pratt, "Some Latin Sources of the Nonnes Preest on Dreams," Speculum 52 (1977), 538- 570). Holcot had studied and taught at the University of Oxford from c. 1326 to c. 1334 and became master of theology there in 1332. His Book of Wisdom is based on the series of famous biblical lectures presented during his stay at Cambridge (c. 1334- 1336). "Holcot's Commentary on Wisdom was one of the most popular commentaries of the late middle ages. It made his name famous throughout medieval Europe, and surviving catalogues show that every well-stocked library came to have a copy. It is a vast work, and although it follows most of the conventions of its genre, in many ways it resembles one of the pastoral handbooks popularized in the late thirteenth century. It could certainly have functioned as such: indeed it seems probable that this quality was one of the main reasons why it was such an outstanding and lasting success. Alongside its many chapters on youth, education, and the family, lie lengthy discussions of married life, society, and its structure, theories on the republic, the duties of kings and judges, and many other topics. A late fourteenth-century explicit attributes its success to the fact that it addresses and informs rulers. This would have appealed in an age of growing interest in political science, and was certainly a factor in the success of the Communiloquium of John of Wales. The contents of this earlier pastoral handbook have much in common with Holcot's the Wisdom of Solomon commentary: Holcot owed John of Wales a substantial debt, which he himself only partly acknowledged" (ODNB). A very attractive volume in its original blindstamped decorated calf binding over wooden boards [12], CXCIII, [1 blank] leaves. Gothic letter; guide letters and spaces; few small worm holes affecting some letters but not affecting legibility; some marginal annotations in a contemporary hand; top blank margin title-page repaired without loss. Very good copy. § Adams H 680

Bonatti de Forlivio, Guido.
Decem continens tractatus astronomie.
|
- Venice, Jacobus Pentius de Leuco für Melchior Sessa, 3. VII. 1506. 194 unnumbered ff. (last blank). Two columns, 66 lines. Gothic type. Large woodcut title vignette and Sessa`s device at the end. Numerous small astrological woodcut text illustrations; several astronomical diagrams; a representation of the earth`s climate zones, several woodcut initials. Later dark brown calf using the original wooden boards and the original blindstamped calf covers. Gilt title to spine. Folio (224 x 323 mm). Adams B 2381. Edit 16, CNCE 6865. Essling 548. Sander 1148. Riccardi I, 149. Honeyman Coll. I, 382. Thorndike II, 830-835. Second edition (following the 1491 Augsburg [Ratdolt] editio princeps); the only edition published in the 16th century. Bonatti`s collection of ten astronomical treatises is one of the most influential Italian works on mediaeval astrology; Dante assigns the author a place in Inferno. The work paints "an exact picture, broad and comprehensive, of astronomical and astrological doctrines of his time" (cf. Diz. Biogr. degli Italiani XI, 575). Many of the astrological woodcut illustrations are based on the Hyginus series. The title woodcut depicts the author with astronomical instruments upon a throne, with the muse Urania and an allegory of Astronomy, presenting the reader with his book. The individual figures are designated in lettertype (Sessa had already used the same woodcut in 1501 with different names, in his Sacrobosco edition; cf. Essling I, 265). Upon Sessa`s well-known device, the famous bibliophile Bishop of Ely, John Moore, remarked: "Whenever you see a book with a cat and a mouse in the frontispiece, seize upon it, for the chances are three to four that it will be found both curious and valuable" (Fumagalli, 486). First leaves slightly remargined at lower edge (not touching text). Two pinhead-sized wormholes and slight waterstain to blank outer margin (not touching text). Numerous underlinings and marginalia by several contemporary hands; last blank leaf almost entirely covered with recipes in Latin and English ("A foment. Take rosemary, laventar spyke, and camomell ."). - From the collection of the Scottish scholar, politician, and traveller Sir William Stirling-Maxwell of Pollok (1818-78) with his large heraldic bookplate on front pastedown.

Venetia: (in fine): Qui Finisse...la Excellente et Delectabile Opera..impressa in Venetia Per Piero De Quarengii Bergamascho Nel M.CCCCC VI a Di VI Del Mese Die Marzo.. [cm. 27,5) piena pergamena del XVII sec., 3 nervi, titolo al dorso calligrafato.-- cc. 6 nn., cc. 122 a numerazione romana. Carattere rotondo, 43 linee. Molti capolettera figurati e ornati a fondo nero, grandi e piccoli di ottima fattura. L' opera è una sintesi "a volo d' aquila" della storia del mondo dalle sue origini, ricca di citazioni dalla divina commedia ma anche di storie favolose e inverosimili. Con interpolazioni di leggende medievali e profezie. Fu molte volte stampata nel XV secolo sotto il nome prestigioso dell' umanista Leonardo Aretino; nel XVI secolo invece a Leonardo Bruni veniva attribuitosolo il volgarizzamento. Resta comunque incerta l' attribuzione data da alcuni a Guido da Pisa?. Edizione assolutamente rarissima della quale non siamo riusciti a trovare un preciso riferimento bibliografico relativo a Piero Quarenghi 1506. Il Census Iccu registra solo 3 copie in Italia. In commercio possiamo riferire di una vendita nel 1925: Asta Hoepli "De Marinis" 2° parte al n° 30 del catalogo del 30 nov/3 dicembre 1925 aggiudicato a 1100 lire italiane. Manca anche all' Adams e al Bm. Stc. Purtroppo esemplare con molti difetti e vecchi antichi rinforzi ai margini delle ultime 10 carte. Carta 120 e 121 con perdite di testo, ultima carta (1229 bianca al verso, con strappo di cm. 4x15 e relativa mancanza di testo. Alcune gore e bruniture e un filo di tarlo, facilmente restaurabile all' angolo basso bianco di circa 40 carte interne che non tocca il testo, ma accettabile per la sua rarità e ben completo. Al margine bianco del frontis un curioso disegno antico a penna. Per studio e confronti consulta le seguenti bibliografie: * Biblioth. Colombina I 139; * Capponi 29; * Graesse I 187; * Brunet I 396. . in ottime condizioni. Rilegato. 1506. Jpg.

HERMANNUS, Gulielmus.
Early Amsterdam imprint, Olandie gelrieque bellum.
|
(Pieter Jansz. Tyebaut, 6860, Amsterdam, - 4to. Eighteenth-century red morocco, spine gilt, with gilt title, sides with gilt decorated borders and 4 ornaments at the corners, gilt inner decoration, marbled endpapers, g.e. Large woodcut on title with the coats-of-arms of Holland and Gelre. (20) lvs. One of the earliest Amsterdam imprints, the first work printed by Pieter Janszoon Tyebaut. The colophon only indicates the printing place, Amsterdam, without address or date. For long this work was thought to be printed by the first printer at Amsterdam, Hugo Janszoon van Woerden, active between 1506 and 1510, because the author died in 1510. C.P. Burger convincingly attributed the work to the second Amsterdam printer, Pieter Janszoon Tyebaut, dating it 1517. Tyebaut was active from 1517 to 1530, and the present was the first work printed by him. It is a history of the war between Holland and Gelderland, describing the events between 1504 and 1509, written by Wilhelmus (Guilielmus) Hermannus from Gouda, a learned man and a good friend of Erasmus. He lived at the monastery of Steyn, near Gouda, where Erasmus stayed at the time and where he had Cornelius Aurelianus as his preceptor. This Aurelianus was one of the first humanists in the Northern Netherlands and writer of the well-known Divisiekroniek, the first history of the Low Countries. Erasmus admired Guilielmus for his intelligence and erudition. Tyebaut must have laid hands on a manuscript with Guilielmus's text, judging it an exciting work with such an important role for the city and citizens of Amsterdam that it would certainly find buyers and readers. One of the leading figures was the magistrate, Johannes Benignus, Tyebaut's brother-in-law. The present work is also of interest for the beautiful woodcut on the title. Fine copy, well preserved, with the book plate of Syston Park. Moes-Burger 712 (illustr.); Nijhoff-Kronenberg 1037; De Buck 2198; STC Dutch p. 93; Dubiez pp. 21-25. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

(In fine: ) Imprimé a Paris l'an mil cinq cent et six, le seizième jour de mars, (Parigi, 16 marzo 1506), in-8, ff. 12 n.n. (segn.: *8, b4), caratt. gotico, bella leg. 800sca in p. marocchino granata con tit. oro al dorso, tagli dorati (firmata Duru). Al titolo graziosa silografia (mm 40x30) raffigur. Margherita secondo la consueta iconografia: la santa esce dal ventre del diavolo, raffigurato come un dragone, grazie alle sue preghiere e alla croce; sempre al tit. piccolo riquadro pregevolmente miniato in epoca ottocentesca su fondo in polvere oro con elementi floreali e le iniziali "A M", imitanti i modi della scuola ganto-bruggese di fine Quattrocento, così come l'iniziale A al verso. Poemetto popolare francese di circa 595 versi in rima baciata sulla vita di santa Margherita, vergine e martire antiochena del III secolo, condannata a morte per aver rifiutato le avances d'Olibrius, governatore d'Oriente. La grande popolarità di Margherita, protettrice delle partorienti, fece fiorire numerose edizioni simili a questa, ma generalmente non datate e spesso più tarde della presente. Estremamente rara. Ottimo esempl. Manca ai principali repertori consultati. Graesse VII, 307 registra numerose altre edizioni. Enc. cattolica VIII, p. 68.

Bio-Bibliographien. Brandenburgische Gelehrte der Frühen Neuzeit: Mark Brandenburg und Berlin-Cölln 1506-1640. (Veröffentlichungen zur brandenburgischen Kulturgeschichte der Frühen Neuzeit).
|
Berlin: Akademie Vlg. 2009. - 720 S. Kart. *neuwertig* Dieser vierten Band beschließt die Reihe der brandenburgischen Bio-Bibliographien für das Kerngebiet des Kurfürstentums. Ausgewählt wurden 47 Personen der Kultur- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte, die mit ihrem Wirken in wichtige Entwicklungen des Landes involviert waren und das Antlitz der Region mit prägten. Durch die Gründung der brandenburgischen Landesuniversität in Frankfurt/O. 1506 wurden Strukturen geschaffen, die eine kontinuierliche Ausbildungs- und Forschungstätigkeit erst ermöglichten und damit den Landesaufbau durch qualifizierte Juristen, Mediziner, Lehrer und Pfarrer beschleunigen helfen konnten. Deshalb sind unter den in diesem Band aufgenommenen Gelehrten sowohl jene, die wesentlichen Einfluss auf die brandenburgische Kirchenpolitik nahmen, als auch solche, die mit ihren juristischen Kenntnissen zur inneren und äußeren Stabilität des Landes beitrugen. Weitere bildungspolitisch wichtige Maßnahmen stellten die Gründungen mehrerer höherer Schulen in der Mark Brandenburg im untersuchten Zeitraum dar, die als Vorbereitungsanstalten für die Landesuniversität dienten (Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster, Saldria, Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium). Ihre Leiter und andere herausragende Lehrkräfte hatten entscheidenden Anteil am Gedeihen dieser Einrichtungen. Berücksichtigung fanden auch einige Gelehrte, die sich als Verfasser von Landes- und Regentengeschichten einen Namen gemacht haben. Mit ihren, auf den Grundsätzen einer durch Humanismus und Reformation geläuterten Geschichtsauffassung fußenden Arbeiten sorgten sie für einen Aufschwung in der märkischen Historiographie.

Foresti's chronicle was first published in Venice in 1483 and was frequently reprinted,with additions, over the next fifty years, the first illustrated edition appearing in 1486. The present is the second edition (first: 1503) to note the recent discovery of the New World by Columbus, which, according to Sabin, is "the earliest considerable recognition of that important discovery by any general author". The American references, contained in the chapter De Insulis in India, appear on leaves 440v-441r. Among the attractive woodcuts adorning the text are four fine full-page blocks of the Creation, Expulsion, Death of Abel, and Tower of Babel, a 'T-O' world map, and numerous smaller city views of varying sizes: Verona, Genoa, Rome, Milan, Venice, Damascus, Athens, Florence, &c. All of the cuts originally appeared in the 1486 and 1490 editions, with the exception of the enlarged view of Milan, added in the edition of 1503. Adams F749. Alden 506/3. Bell F107.

First Edition of the First Illustrated Spanish Chronicle, written by Lucio Marineo, Italian scholar and historian, who became chaplain and historiographer to King Ferdinand V. Commissioned by the Eight Deputies of Aragon for presentation to King Ferdinand, the work was printed by Georg Coci, or Koch, a German, successor to the press of Pablo and Juan Hurus, and the only printer in Saragossa at the time. James R.P.Lyell, in his Early Book Illustration in Spain, speaks of Koch in the most glowing terms: "Zaragoza in the sixteenth century, so far as illustrated books are concerned, is chiefly notable for the work of one of Spain's great printers, Georg Coci.In 1509, Coci produced the De primis Aragoniae regibus of Lucius Marineus.There are a number of cuts in the book mostly portraits of Kings, with scroll work extending down the inner margin of the page. One of the most striking of these portrait cuts appears on fol. xviii b, and represents Raimundus and his fiancee, Petronilla.". (pp. 121-22) Juan M.Sanchez calls this one of the best typographical products of Koch's press. Adams M593. Brunet III 1432. Graesse IV 400. Norton, , 628.

Seneca, Lucius Annaeus
Senecae Tragoediae
|
Florence: Philippi de Giunta, 1506. Octavo, 6.4 x 4 inches. a-z8, &8, A-D8. (Lacking the final blank, D8). This is a large, fresh copy, with some intermittent blotchiness here and there on some leaves. It is bound in full sixteenth century Italian parchment. The Prince of LichtensteinOs bookplate is pasted inside the front board and the bookplate of the Biblioteca Senequiana of Buenos Aires is facing it. . OSenecan tragedy is a body of ten first century dramas, of which eight were written by the Roman Stoic philosopher and politician Lucius Annaeus Seneca. Rediscovered by Italian humanists in the mid-16th century, they became the models for the revival of tragedy on the Renaissance stage. The two great, but very different, dramatic traditions: French Neoclassical tragedy and Elizabethan tragedy, both drew inspiration from Seneca.#11;OSenecaOs plays were reworkings chiefly of EuripidesOs dramas and also of works of Aeschylus and Sophocles. Probably meant to be recited at elite gatherings, they differ from their originals in their long declamatory, narrative accounts of action, their obtrusive moralizing, and their bombastic rhetoric. They dwell on detailed accounts of horrible deeds and contain long reflective soliloquies. Though the gods rarely appear in these plays, ghosts and witches abound. In an age when the Greek originals were scarcely known, SenecaOs plays were mistaken for high Classical drama. Senecan tragedies tended to include ideas of revenge, the occult, the supernatural, suicide, blood and gore. The Renaissance scholar Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558), who knew both Latin and Greek, preferred Seneca to Euripides. The Elizabethan dramatists found SenecaOs themes of bloodthirsty revenge more congenial to English taste than they did his form. The first English tragedy, Gorboduc (1561), by Thomas Sackville and Thomas Norton, is a chain of slaughter and revenge written in direct imitation of Seneca. Senecan influence is also evident in Thomas KydOs OThe Spanish TragedyO and ShakespeareOs OHamlet.O Both share a revenge theme, a corpse-strewn climax and ghosts among the cast, all of which can be traced back to the Senecan model.O (EB) #11;

al-GHAZALI, Abu Hamid Muhammad
Logica et Philosophia Algazelis Arabis.
|
Venice, Petrus Liechtenstein, 1506 4to, ff [64], with a few woodcut diagrams in the text; title a little dusty, otherwise an excellent copy in modern green morocco. £25,000 The extremely rare first edition of al-Ghazaliís Maquasid al-Falasifa (íThe Intentions of the philosophersí), ëa highly acclaimed treatise in medieval Europe upon its translation into Latin (Logica et philosophia Algazelis Arabis) by Dominic Gundisalvi in the 12th centuryí (Encyclopedia Iranica). ëDuring the 12th and 13th centuries this work was a principal source for Latin authors on the teachings of the Arabic philosophersí (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). This was the only work of al-Ghazali to be published in the West until recent times. It is a translation of and commentary on the parts on natural sciences, logic, and metaphysics in Avicennaís Persian work Philosophy for ëAlâí al-Dawla. It was assumed to be a preparatory work for The Incoherence of the Philosophers (Tahäfat al-faläsifa) but is now believed to be only loosely connected with the latter. ëAl-Ghazâlî (c. 1055ñ1111) was one of the most prominent and influential philosophers, theologians, jurists, and mystics of Sunni Islam. He was active at a time when Sunni theology had just passed through its consolidation and entered a period of intense challenges from Shiite Ismâíîlite theology and the Arabic tradition of Aristotelian philosophy (falsafa). Al-Ghazâlî understood the importance of falsafa and developed a complex response that rejected and condemned some of its teachings, while it also allowed him to accept and apply others. [He advanced] the nominalist critique of Aristotelian science developed later in 14th century Europe. On the Arabic and Muslim side al-Ghazâlî's acceptance of demonstration (apodeixis) led to a much more refined and precise discourse on epistemology and a flowering of Aristotelian logics and metaphysics. With al-Ghazâlî begins the successful introduction of Aristotelianism or rather Avicennism into Muslim theology. After a period of appropriation of the Greek sciences in the translation movement from Greek into Arabic and the writings of the falâsifa up to Avicenna (Ibn Sînâ, c.980ñ1037), philosophy and the Greek sciences were ìnaturalizedî into the discourse of kalâm and Muslim theology (Sabra 1987). Al-Ghazâlî's approach to resolving apparent contradictions between reason and revelation was accepted by almost all later Muslim theologians and had, via the works of Averroes (Ibn Rushd, 1126ñ98) and Jewish authors a significant influence on Latin medieval thinkingí. ëThe Intentions of the Philosophers was translated into Latin in the third quarter of the 12th century and into Hebrew first in 1292 and at least another two times within the next fifty years. These translations enjoyed much more success than the Arabic original. In fact, in the Latin as well as in the Hebrew traditions they overshadowed all of al-Ghazaliís other writings. The Latin translation Logica et philosophia Algazelis was the only book by al-Ghazali translated during the period of the transmission of Arabic philosophy to Christian Europe... It was translated by Dominicus Gundissalinus of Toledo in collaboration with a Jewish scholar identified as Avendauth. This was most likely Abraham ibn Daud (c.1110ñ1180) the author of an Arabic philosophical treatise that is extant only in its Hebrew version The Exalted Faith (Ha-Emunah ha-Ramah). The two translators seem to have omitted the short introduction and the explicit where the work is described as an uncommitted report of the fal?sifaís teachings. A small number of Latin manuscripts show signs that this translation was revised during the 13th century (Lohr 1965, 229) and in one case they preserve a Latin rendition of al-Ghazaliís original introduction (edited in Salman 1935, 125ñ27). That, however, had next to no influence on the textís reception (Salman 1935), and the version that circulated among readers of Latin does not include al-Ghazaliís distancing statements (al-Ghazali 1506). The book thus concealed its character as a report of Avicennaís teachings and its author ìAlgazelî was considered a faithful follower of Avicenna who had produced a masterful compendium of the latterís philosophyí (Frank Griffel in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, online).

Deshalb sind unter den in diesem Band aufgenommenen Gelehrten sowohl jene, die wesentlichen Einfluss auf die brandenburgische Kirchenpolitik nahmen, als auch solche, die mit ihren juristischen Kenntnissen zur inneren und äußeren Stabilität des Landes beitrugen. Weitere bildungspolitisch wichtige Maßnahmen stellten die Gründungen mehrerer höherer Schulen in der Mark Brandenburg im untersuchten Zeitraum dar, die als Vorbereitungsanstalten für die Landesuniversität dienten (Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster, Saldria, Joachimsthalsches Gymnasium). Ihre Leiter und andere herausragende Lehrkräfte hatten entscheidenden Anteil am Gedeihen dieser Einrichtungen.Berücksichtigung fanden auch einige Gelehrte, die sich als Verfasser von Landes- und Regentengeschichten einen Namen gemacht haben. Mit ihren, auf den Grundsätzen einer durch Humanismus und Reformation geläuterten Geschichtsauffassung fußenden Arbeiten sorgten sie für einen Aufschwung in der märkischen Historiographie.

Colophon indicates that this work was "completed in Naples at the end of the month of Marcheshvan, in the year of "the sound of rejoicing and salvation’, 5255." Wide margined copy.FIRST EDITION OF ABRABANEL’S MOST IMPORTANT RELIGIOUS WORK. Don Isaac Abrabanel (1437-1508) was one of the greatest scholars, philosophers and statesmen among medieval Jewry. He was among the first Jewish scholars to be familiar with the concepts of humanism and the world of the Renaissance. His broad acceptance among both Jewish and Christian scholars alike is testament to his greatness."Abrabanel was essentially an opponent of philosophy for his entire conception of Judaism, opposed to that of Maimonides and his school, was rooted in the first conviction of God’s revelation in history, and particularly in the history of the selected people." (Jewish Encyclopedia, vol. 1). His Rosh Amanah, which addresses Maimonides Thirteen Articles of Faith (against the attacks of philosophers Albo and Crescas) appears to support Maimonides’ views in general, but differs as well on fundamental points. Among them is his rejection of the Maimonidean view that prophetic visions were creations of the imagination. "The most noteworthy feature of all Abrabanel’s philosophical disquisitions is the success with which he demonstrates the weak points in the Maimonidean system." (Jewish Encyclopedia Vol. 1)VERY RARE. We have been able to trace only two copies of this work offered for public sale in the past twenty years, although we are aware of two other known copies.

(Pforzheim, Thomas Anshelm 1506). - 8°. 3 weisse Bll., 244 nn.Bll. Halbpergamentbd. auf 3 erhabenen Bünden mit Holzdeckeln und Metallschliesse (stärker berieben, Kapital mit Einriss, fleckig, Deckel mit Fehlstellen und Wurmfrassspur). Sehr seltene Postinkunabel von Filelfos berühmtem Briefwechsel aus der Offizin des aus Baden-Baden stammenden und in Basel zum Buchdrucker ausgebildeten Thomas Anshelm. Nachdem er bis 1494/95 in Strassburg gewirkt hatte, druckte er von 1495 bis 1511 im badischen Pforzheim, wo er vor allem die Schriften des Philosophen, Humanisten und ersten deutschen Hebraisten Johannes Reuchlin verlegte.Die lateinischen Episteln des italienischen Humanisten Francesco Filelfo (latinisiert Franciscus Philelphus) zählen zu den bedeutendsten Beispielsammlungen von Briefen der Renaissancezeit. Es gibt kaum eine auf literarischem oder politischem Gebiet nennenswerte Persönlichkeit des 15. Jhdts., mit der Filelfo nicht korrespondierte. Drei Redaktionen seiner chronologisch von 1427 bis 1477 geordneten, teilweise fiktiven, Briefe sind nachgewiesen. Der 1473 durch Wendelin von Speyer in Venedig aufgelegte Erstdruck in nur 16 Büchern basiert auf der zweiten Redaktion und enthält wie alle nachfolgenden Frühdrucke nur lateinische Briefe. Eine Druckausgabe der ersten Redaktion erschien erst im 20. Jhdt. Unser Pforzheimer Druck folgt der massgebenden dritten Redaktion der Briefe (Codex Trivulzianus 873) in 37 Büchern, die als die umfangreichste und kompletteste Version erstmals 1502 in Venedig durch Johannes und Gregorius Gregorius aufgelegt wurde und Episteln bis zum Jahr 1473 enthält. Als Muster feinen und eleganten Stils erlangten Filelfos lateinische Briefe die Bedeutung von Lehr- und Übungsbüchern an den humanistisch geleiteten Schulen in ganz Europa und Neudrucke seiner „Epistolae" finden sich bis in die Mitte des 18. Jhdts. hinein. - Innendeckel mit ExLibris und handschr. Eintragungen, ebenso Vorsatz, Titelbl. mit handschr. Eintragung und Stempel, Text stellenweise mit handschr. Notizen und Anstreichungen in Tinte, stellenweise fleckig, durchgehend kleine Wurmfrassspuren, einige Bll. mit Feuchtigkeitsspur (obere Ecke). - VD 16 F 1027; vgl. D. Robin, Filelfo in Milan.

The three Epiphaniae treat the colors of the urine and their significance, the movement of the heart and pulse, and the various fevers and feverish states caused by emotions and diseases. This work also includes Gilles de Corbeil's Carmina de Urinarum Judiciis, but omits the epilogue found in Choulant's edition of that text. "Pinder's edition is not listed in Choulant's bibliography of printed editions of Gilles, and contains a number of variant readings not recorded by him."!Durling 3652. A fine copy. Printed bookplate of Anton Jonas Kilianstein (d. 1638), who studied medicine at Ingolstadt. He became professor of anatomy and surgery there and also served as rector of the University (see Hirsch, III, p. 524). Engraved armorial bookplate of Fr. Xav. de Hieber, dated 1773. .

Pacifici, Massimo (m. 1500).
Pacifici Maximi poetae Asculani Opera. Lucretiae libri duo. Virginiae libri duo.
|
Fano, Geršom Soncino, 1506. "In-8° (mm 147x95). Segnatura: a-g8, h10. 65 di 66 carte non numerate, manca l’ultima carta bianca. Carattere corsivo. Legatura settecentesca in pergamena rigida; titolo in oro su tassello in marocchino rosso al dorso, tagli azzurri. Esemplare in discreto stato di conservazione, restauro lungo il margine superiore bianco delle prime 7 carte, le carte dei primi due e dell’ultimo fascicolo leggermente più lunghe delle altre; lievi gore e fioriture. Timbro di una congregazione religiosa alla c. a3r che probabilmente doveva essere presente anche al frontespizio dal quale è stato però abraso. Al frontespizio sono presenti inoltre solo i titoli delle opere effettivamente contenute – la Lucretia e la Virginia – e mancano i titoli delle altre nove opere annunciate nei frontespizi delle altre copie conosciute, ma di fatto poi non presenti in alcun esemplare, compreso il nostro. È possibile che, nella presente copia, questi titoli non siano stati stampati oppure che essi siano stati abrasi. Prima e unica rara edizione di questa raccolta di poemetti latini, dedicata dall’autore, il grammatico e poeta di Ascoli Pacifico Massimi, al celebre umanista Angelo Colocci, suo conterraneo. La presente stampa, contenente i carmi Lucretia e Virginia, costituisce «la parzialissima edizione di un’“opera omnia” postuma, progettata e mai realizzata. Il formato in-ottavo e l’uso delle lettere corsive sono segnali evidenti che permettono di inserire l’opera in un’ideale collana di autori volgari (Petrarca, Ciminelli, Cornazano) e latini pensata dal Soncino in linea con le scelte veneziane di Aldo. Il titolo promette, infatti, altri testi importanti, come venti libri di elegie, sei libri De bello Spartaco, sette libri De bello Cyri regis Persarum, due libri De bello Syllae et Marii. L’elenco comprende un trattato di morfologia greca De Declinatione verborum graecorum, una Grammatica, un trattato di metrica De componendis carminibus, una composizione dedicata a Giovanni Salvagli e una polemica contro il Poliziano, intrusioni scolastiche in un corpus letterario. Non conosciamo la ragione per cui solo una minima parte dell’opera latina di Pacifico Massimo fosse stampata a Fano dal Soncino: forse ai curatori che la promossero mancarono i fondi per provvedere a una edizione tanto impegnativa» (Gershom, Girolamo, Hieronymus, le edizioni del Soncino nelle città adriatiche 1502-1527, p. 48). Il volume contiene inoltre, al verso dell’ultima carta, l’epitaffio del poeta fanese Camillo Damiani in lode del Massimi, al quale seguono un’altra epigrafe, in due versi, sempre del Damiani e un’errata di otto righe. First and only very rare edition of this collection of Latin poems by the poet and grammarian Pacifico Massimi and dedicated by him to the famous humanist Angelo Colocci. The book was printed by the errant Hebrew typographer Gershom Soncino in the small Italian town of Fano. In all the copies known of this work, the title-page has a list of 11 works of which only two – the Lucretia and the Virginia - are actually contained in the book. The 8° size and the italic type allow to argue that probably the present edition is to be inscribed in a precise printing program of classical texts, both in Latin and vernacular, imitating the one conceived by Aldus Manutius in Venice. Small repairs to the white upper margins of the first 7 leaves; some minor foxing and dampstaining throughout. Lacking the last blank leaf. 18th century vellum with gilt title within red morocco label on spine; blue edges. The title-page of our copy has only two titles, probably the other nine were abraded.

Reuchlin, Johann
Principium libri (De rudimentis Hebraicis)
|
Thomas Anshelm, Pforzheim:: Thomas Anshelm,, 1506.. First Edition.. 18th c. vellum, spine label slightly chipped, cover partly split at fore-edges; stamps inked-over (some offsetting) on t.p. and last leaf; p507-8 corner off (no loss); light browning, a few stains and some finger soiling, occ. marginal tears; overall a very clean, crisp copy... Folio.. Large woodcut Palatine arms & printer's mark at rear, some Hebrew text. Reuchlin (1455-1522) was one of the foremost humanists of the Renaissance. He believed that he could most successfully learn ancient wisdom through a thorough grounding in Hebrew and it is his work that founded Christian Hebrew studies. He also studied Kabbalistic disciplines and founded a school of Christian Kabbalah. He was frequently at odds with the church authorities over his "hebraizing." He refused to join in Pfefferkorn's crusade to destroy all of Hebrew learning. He was drawn into the "Battle of the Books" against his will but he fought to save Hebrew learning. He was even accused of heresy, but acquitted by Pope Leo X. #11;His most famous work is his De rudimentis Hebraicis" which he began shortly after he visited Trithemius at Sponheim. It comprises a lexicon and student's guide to Hebrew grammar (based on the work by David Kimhi). "...the Rudimenta was in fact the real pioneering work of its kind by a Christian scholar." [Ency. Judaica]#11; VD16 R1252. BM STC (Germ.) 732. Adams R383.Benzing, Reuchlin,90. Alberts, Anshelm,29. Furst II,151. Geiger 110.
