VITRUVIUS POLLIO, Marcus
Vitruvius Iterum et Frontinus a Iocundo Revisi Repurgatique quantum ex collatione licuit
|
Florence: Giunti, 1513. * Adams V-903; Fowler 394; Wiebenson I-6; Mortimer II.543 (1511).. Augmented edition of THE FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF VITRUVIUS (1511), the first attempt to establish a critical text of the only surviving ancient architectural treatise, one notoriously difficult for its technical matter and crabbed means of expression. It is notable that this was undertaken by a practicing architect, Fra Giovanni Giocondo, equally at home in the practice of building and in the finer points of humanist philology: he worked on St. Peter!s with Raphael and Bramante and supervised construction after the latter!s death in 1514. !Fra Giocondo!s publication of his edition of Vitruvius in 1511 is the best remembered of his Venetian projects... Fra Giocondo!s claim for his edition is that he reconciled the reconstituted Latin text with the extant Roman ruins. Although Manfredo Tafuri criticizes his Latin edition as less rigorous than the editio princeps of Sulpizio, and Francesco Pellati considers his assertive interventions worthy of a translator rather than an editor, Lucia Ciapponi has shown that Fra Giocondo!s corrections and filling of lacunae were based on manuscripts unknown to the earlier editor. Fra Giocondo had distinguished counselors in Venice, including Pietro Bembo, Giovanni Lascaris, and Giovanni Marco da Landinara, an expert in optics, who assisted him with the illustrations. The graphic segment is of course the great breakthrough of Fra Giocondo!s edition. Although seemingly coarse and diagrammatic, the illustrations are logical and clear. The woodcut illustrations, based on drawings probably prepared by Fra Giocondo himself, are assumed to have been made by the publisher! (M. Pollak in Millard, Italian, p. 493). The present work contains the 136 Tacuino woodcuts of the 1511 first edition in smaller format, plus 4 new woodcuts, and is further augmented by Frontinus!s treatise on aqueducts. The work was reprinted in 1522. The influence of both text and illustration could be felt throughout the 16th century (see Mortimer!s entry for nachleben).

Rouen, Jehan Burges, s.d. [ca. 1513]. - Petit in-4 gothique à deux colonnes (186 x 129 mm), 138 ff.,(f.69 en fac similé), [6] dont un beau bois gravé au recto du dernier feuillet, qui représente la concession de la Normandie à Hrolf (manque marginal de papier sans atteinte au texte, inscriptions manuscrites anciennes). Beau bois imprimé en rouge dans un encadrement noir sur le feuillet de titre (taché) comportant les lettres I b (Jehan Burges) dans l'encadrement. Vélin légèrement postérieur. Ex-libris de Nicolas Joseph Foucault, qui était le fondateur de l'Académie des Belles Lettres de Caen; et du Comte de Macclesfield (XIXe) Rarissime édition de la Chronique de Normandie, qui vient, d'après Frère, quelques années après celles incunables de Guillaume Le Talleur et de Natalis de Harsy ( 1487). Copinger (n°1596) l'a même classé parmi les incunables en la datant par erreur vers 1502. Notre exemplaire diffère légèrement de celui décrit par le bibliographe, car le sien porte au titre : " ont este imprimees pour Richard Mace, libraire demourant a Rouen." alors que notre exemplaire: "imprimees pour Jehan Burges libraire demourant a Rouen en la rue de grant pont devant la serayne. Et en trouvera ten audict lieu aprix competent", par contre, même inscription au recto du feuillet 138 : ". Pour Jehan burges.", avec les lettrines en bas de page J. Et B. Les impressions de Burges sont peu nombreuses (21 d'après Aquilon) et celle-ci est répertoriée comme une des 34 imprimées pour différents libraires de Rouen, Caen et Paris, provenant du mystérieux Atelier du Bandeau au Lion couronné, reconnaissables notamment par l'emploi de lettrines au fond criblé, de bois répétitifs comme la remise d'une lettre à un roi (concession de la Normandie à Hrolf d'après Frère, 86 mm), ou bien encore le bois de titre représentant un élève agenouillé devant son maître, tiré en rouge dans notre exemplaire. Frère I, 240; Vente La Germonière, 1966, n°54; Aquilon n°21, p. 70 et n°4, p. 272; Francisque Michel: Les Chroniques de Ndie, 1839; Bechtel C-348. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

WALDSEEMULLER, Martin
Tabula Nova Hibernie Anglie et Scotie
|
Strassburg: , 1513. 360 x 510 mm., with some slight restoration to the centrefold as usual, some splits repaired and two small wormholes repaired, one in the image, one in the upper margin, otherwise a good example on sound paper. The FIRST TRULY MODERN MAP OF THE BRITISH ISLES. This is only the sixth printed map of the British Isles according to Shirley's study. However it is pre-dated only by the Ptolemaic maps of Bologna 1477, Rome 1478, Florence 1482, Ulm 1482 and Venice 1511. Although published in an edition of Ptolemy's "Geographia" this is in fact the first modern map of the British Isles, i.e not depending on ancient Ptolemaic geography. The map by Bernadus Sylvanus published in the Venice edition of 1511 did introduce more modern cartography but incorporated it into Ptolomaic geography. Martin Waldseemuller was the first to break entirely with the older work and construct a map of the British Isles from entirely contemporary sources. An interesting comparison is made between the two versions in the same atlas, the Ptolomaic one extends from 52 to 63 degrees north whereas the modern map more accurately records 47 to 59 degrees.Waldseemuller was the geographer behind one of the early schools to study cartography, that at St. Die outside Strassburg. He was the author of the wall map of 1507 which named America for the first time. In that same year it is believed he completed the maps for an edition of Ptolemy's 'Geography'. It was not until 1513 though that it was published. Printed from a wood block by Joannes Schott it includes in the borders graduations of latitude and for the first time a scale of miles (Italian) lower right. Waldseemuller had no printed sources to draw upon so relied on contemporary manuscript portolans which were hard to obtain. With our easier access to surviving portolans we can see similar cartography was being used in the early fifteenth century. Waldseemuller has corrected the slanting Scotland and Cornwall, and has added many new towns, most notably along the southern and eastern coasts of England and Ireland - areas well known to European sailors and merchants. Shirley deciphers many of the place names along the south coast such as Dobla (Dover), Portamua (Portsmouth), Antona (Southampton), Artamua (Dartmouth) and Premua (Plymouth). London is clearly recognisable and Eristo (Bristol). The coastlines of southern England and Wales can be understood but further north becomes harder to decipher. A curious mountain range appears to divide England from Scotland with an indication of their fortification. Extensive names occur on the east and southern coasts of Ireland indicating extensive links with that island too. A noteworthy feature is the fictitious island of Brazil off of the west coast of Ireland. Karrow, R.W. (16 c.) 80/34; Moreland & Bannister p. 193; Nordenskiold 205; Pastoureau Ptolemee A no. 31; Shirley BL T.Ptol-6a; Shirley BI no. 11 pl. 8.

Celtis, Konrad:

|
- (1513) = Libri odarum quattuor, cum epodo et saeculari carmine. Übers. und hrsg. von Eckart Schäfer, NeoLatina Tübingen : Narr, 2008. 394 S. Gebundene Ausgabe. Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - Zum 500. Todestag Conrad Celtis (1459 - 1508) wird das Odenbuch von 1513 erneut publiziert, erstmals als zweisprachige Ausgabe mit Erläuterungen. Celtis verstand sich als ein Dichter, der in Deutschland den Gebrauch des klassischen Lateins in Prosa und Poesie vorbildhaft durchzusetzen bestrebt war, und für gut eineinhalb Jahrhunderte ist das - natürlich durch den Humanismus, kaum durch ihn - auch erreicht worden. Dies gelang so überzeugend, dass Celtis in den folgenden Generationen als Wegbereiter angesehen, jedoch an poetischer Sprachqualität - worauf er gefasst war - von den folgenden Neulateinern bald überholt worden ist, wenn auch nicht an der Größe seiner Konzeption von Lebens- und Weltdichtung. Auf Grund seiner geschichtlichen Leistung sind seine lateinischen Schriften in der Moderne wiedergedruckt und z.T. sogar textkritisch erschlossen worden, wie die keines anderen deutschen Neulateiners.

[8] leaves (the last is blank). Small 4to, modern limp vellum (light dampstaining at foot). [Tubingen: T. Anshelm, 1513]. First edition of this early and rare balneological work which describes the mineral baths at Wildbad and their benefits. Wildbad is a watering place in Wurttemberg, situated in the Enz gorge in the Black Forest. Its thermal alkaline springs have a temperature of 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit. Widmann (1440-1524), took his master of arts degree at Heidelberg and then went to Italy where he studied medicine at Pavia, Padua, and Ferrara. He received his medical degree at Ulm. Later, Widmann held a series of posts, including physician to Margrave Christoph von Baden and Duke Eberhard von Wurttemberg, city physician at Basel, Strasbourg, and Ulm, and professor of medicine at Tubingen. His tract on syphilis, published in 1497, is considered to be one of the best written in the 15th century. In this work, Widmann describes the medical uses the waters of Wildbad provide in treating gout, rheumatism, and neuralgia. Fine copy. ❧ Durling 4728. Hirsch, V, pp. 925-26. .

The 37 woodcuts, one at the head of each book or chapter, were especially designed for this edition. They include a representation of Pliny writing his book, a diagram of the cosmos, a map of Europe and the Mediterranean, depictions of fabulous creatures, a map of Africa, cannibals, elephants, lions, giraffes, sea serpents, apothecaries preparing medicines, figures being fumigated with woodsmoke, a swineherd harvesting acorns for his swine, gardeners grafting trees, the harvesting of grapes, the preparation of flax, gardeners growing melons, beekeeping, a man being given a head massage with aromatic oils, the use of herbs in medicine and sanitation, medicine from animals (including a cupping administered by an elephant), musicians, a painter painting, a sculptor carving a statue, conjurors, mineral baths, mining and panning for gold, and many more scenes. See Essling for full details of the subjects of all the cuts. ëAn artistís signature in the form of a column appears on blocks for books 7, 25, and 26; at book 26, the column has a star on the top. These three blocks also have a slightly different border, the corners being joined by diagonals to form a frameí (Mortimer). The text was edited by Alessandro Beneditti (d. 1512) Provenance: several early inscriptions and signatues on front and rear pastedowns, one signed J. V. Rechberg; title inscription ëEx libris Jacobi Rieggerii ... 1544í (Reiggerius of Freiberg im Brisgau); monastic inscription dated 1733 from Freiberg im Brisgau BM STC (Italian) p 526; Mortimer 388 (note to 1516 edition, which uses most of the same blocks); Durling 3687; Essling I n 4; Sander 5760; Wellcome 5114

De Republica Anglorum; the Manner of Government or Policie of the Realme of England was written between 1562 and 1565 and first published in 1583. "It is the most important description of the constitution and government of England written in the Tudor age" (DNB). It went through eleven editions in English between 1584 to 1691. Four Latin editions appeared between 1610 and 1641. Abridged editions in Dutch and German were published in 1673 and 1688. Smith, an English scholar and diplomat, was Regius Professor of Civil Law at Cambridge University. Sir Frederick Pollock [1845-1937] was one of the greatest British judges and legal scholars of his day. His treatises on contracts, jurisprudence the common law and other subjects did much to clarify and systematize English law. Several of these were standard texts that went through several editions. He is also remembered for his collaboration with F.W. Maitland on The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I and his correspondence with Oliver Wendell Holmes, which was published posthumously as The Holmes-Pollock Letters.

Strassburg, Matthias Hupfuff, 1513.. Zweispaltiges, 49-zeiliges Postinkunabelblatt mit einem altkoloriertem Holzschnitt (10,9 x 8 cm). Blatt gebräunt. Kleine Fehlstelle in der oberen Blattecke ohne Textverlust. Signatur 'H'. Blattgrösse: 19,5 x 28 cm. Post incunable leaf, woodcut.. Sehr seltenes Postinkunabelblatt aus dem am reichsten illustrierten Druck von Hupfuff! In diesem Druck verwendet Hupfuff zahlreiche Holzschnitte aus dem Bestand des sogenannten 'Drucker des Antichrist', der um 1482 seine 'Vitas Patrum' herausgab (Oliver Duntze 2007, S.49ff). Der Holzschnitt wurde mit einer Holzschnittleiste und dem Bruchstück eines Holzschnittes an die Zeilenbreite angepasst. Der Drucker des 'Antichristen' ist nur zu Beginn der 1480-iger Jahre nachweisbar. Die Wiederverwendung des hier vorliegenden Holzschnitts nach mehr als 30 Jahren zeigt die Wertschätzung der Holzschnitte im Mittelalter. Mit den Heiligenlegenden des Athanasius (um 295 - 373) und Hieronymus (347 - 420) beginnt die, im Verlaufe der Jahrhunderte, ständig erweiterte Sammlung von Lebensbeschreibungen, Lehrgesprächen, Anekdoten, Parabeln und Ermahnungen der in den Wüsten Ägyptens lebenden Eremiten und Mönchsgemeinschaften. Diese Altväter gehören zu den grundlegenden Schriften der monastischen Bewegung des Abendlandes. So schreibt die Benediktinerregel für die Zeit nach dem Mittagessen vor: "et legat unus collationes vel vitas patrum aut aliud quod aedificet audientes" zur Erbauung und Erziehung aus der "Vitaspatrum" vorzulesen.

Waldseemuller, Martin (c. 1470 - c. 1521)
!Octava Euro! from Ptolemy!s Geographia
|
Strassburg: Martin Waldseemuller, Jacobus Eszler, Gorgeous Abalone and Johann Schott, 1513 SPECTACULAR ORIGINAL COLOR Martin Waldseemuller, a highly accomplished student of geography, merged the science of map making and the art of printing in these maps and the atlas from which they came- the most groundbreaking document in the history of cartography. Like many other Renaissance scholars interested in classical learning, Waldseemuller translated and made maps according to Claudius Ptolemy's "Geographia," a second-century treatise. Ptolemy's plans for ordering three-dimensional geographic space on a two-dimensional surface-paper-were in fact the most advanced methods up to the time of the Renaissance. In fifteen hundred years, no one had been able to improve on Ptolemy's instructions; for a time, in fact, many had regressed to thinking of the earth as flat. . First Edition.

Peau de truie sur ais, decor estampe d'encadrements a motifs vegetaux, dos a nerfs, mors et coins doubles de cuivre, fermoirs, titre calligraphie sur la tranche. (Reliure de l'epoque). Haguenau, Henry Gran, 1513. "Texte sur deux colonnes de 58 lignes, le titre porte seulement ""Secunda pars Rosarii"", le premier feuillet de texte presente deux reserves destinees a recevoir des lettrines peintes, table des matieres au debut du volume. Cette impression haguenovienne du XVI° siecle est due a Henry Gran, le premier imprimeur de la ville. Il publia les sermons de Bustis des 1483, puis les reedita en 2 volumes en 1500, 1503, 1508 et 1513 (notre edition). Il n'est cependant pas signale de premiere partie (Rosarium sermonum) pour cette edition-ci. A l'instar de la plupart des productions d'Henry Gran, elle se fit a la requete et aux frais de Jean Rynman, qui semble avoir ete a la fois libraire, editeur et fondeur de caracteres a Haguenau. Cette ""Secunda pars"" contient les sermons pour la Passion, pour le dimanche de Paques, le dimanche d'apres Paques, l'Ascension, la Pentecote. Les sermons de Bernardin de Bustis (ou Busto), firent la gloire de leur auteur au XV°siecle. Ce capucin, membre d'une illustre famille milanaise, mort en 1500, etait un homme instruit, devot et zele, repute excellent predicateur et ascete. Propagateur du Tiers-Ordre, defenseur des Monts-de-Piete, il fut en meme temps grand apotre de la devotion a saint Joseph. (Dict. de Spiritualite I p. 1515). - (Brunet I, 1426 (entree Bustis) cite l'edition H.

|
- Paris, Rembolt et J Parvus. 1513. 4to. ff. (xlvi) 232. Roman letter. Title in red and black with Jean Petit's woodcut printer's device, charming floriated and historiated white on black woodcut initials, small worm hole on title and first few leaves just touching a few letters, expertly restored, a little damp staining to lower outer corners of a few ll. Contemporary ex libris on title "Ex Bibliothecae Kalaephatorum Bariensium: Alexander Mana Kalaephaty Indigny." armorial bookplate of Manuele Aguillera Marques of Cerralbo on pastedown. A good copy in modern calf, covers bordered with double blind rule, arms gilt at centre. Second edition, first published in 1476 and textually distinct. John of Salisbury, humanist and scholar of the middle ages "was for thirty years the central figure of English learning and was the fullest representative of the best scholarly training which France had to give."(DNB). This work "the Statesman's Book" was one of the most important medieval treatises on statecraft and political theory. John was employed by Archbishop Theobald of Canterbury and later by his successor Thomas à Beckett who he was accompanying at the latter's assassination. (William Tracy, Beckett's murderer, boasted of having broken John's arm before killing the Archbishop.) With the increased absence of King Henry II on the continent John became more and more indispensable in the running of Church affairs, "the charge of all Britain as touching church matters, was laid upon me", he also gained considerable insight into the running of the state, and was involved in numerous missions in Europe trying to arbitrate between the Archbishop and the King. John fell into disfavour with Henry II over increasing taxation of the church in England, and it was in this period of enforced leisure that he wrote his 'Policraticus'. Its eight books deal respectively with luck and devotion - to unsuitable goals, the distribution of duties according to the political constitution of the ancients; nature and mathematics; vice and virtue - pride as the root of all evil and passion as a leprosy; the differences between kings and tyrants - the moral characters of tyrants, the destruction of tyrants as lawful according to the Bible, the need for a ruler to always hold the law of Gods before all things; the republic - the arrangement of the republic as being alike to a hive of bees, the people as moulded by the strengths of the ruler and the government, the military and military skill - the hand of the republic as armed or unarmed, the formula of the oath of the soldier, the armed soldier as bound by God; academics, philosophers and religions, - academics as more modest than the others, and so less blinded to truth. "Ne paraissent pas être des réimpressions de la précédente" Brunet. One of the most important political and secular philosophical works of the middle ages and certainly the most important by an Englishman, beautifully printed by Jean Petit. BM STC. Fr. C16 p. 243. Adams J 304. Brunet III 547. Graesse III 467. L930

Lyon, Jean Huguetan, 1513. 1 vol. in-4°, veau estampe a froid sur ais de bois, dos a trois nerfs orne de croisillons de filets a froid, plats ornes d'une large roulette a decor continu en encadrement, compartiments de losanges avec des fleurs et un blason dans lequel sont entremeles les lettres O et R avec le 4 des marchands, trois larges roulettes verticales au centre, separes par plusieurs filets a froid, representant dans un decor continu compartimente en losanges, une alternance de fleurs, d'hermines et de fleurs de lys avec l'inscription repetee "OGIE ROIE", etiquette de papier en haut du 1er plat (en partie manquante) sur laquelle on devine l'inscription a l'encre en gros caracteres gothiques du titre de l'ouvrage : Floretus (manque la lettre F). Reliure de l'epoque avec qq. manques pres des bords, et qq. piqures de vers sur le second plat. Une partie du decor de celui-ci est difficilement lisible. Quelques restaurations (coiffes et caissons de tete et de queue. Titre en rouge et noir dans un bel encadrement grave sur bois en forme de portique a deux colonnes enroulees de feuilles d'acanthe ornes d'une vignette representant St Bernard, Floretus personnifie et Jean Gerson. Impr. en car. goth. sur 2 coll., lettrines. cxvij ff., (5) ff. Signatures : [a-c]8 d4 [e-g]8 h4 [i-l]8 m4 [n-q]8 r6. Mouillure marginale, un trou de ver traverse le volume. Plusieurs ex-libris mss. d'ecclesiastiques du XVIe et XVIIe s en debut et en fin de volume (Th. Lyetard, chanoine de Tulle, deb. XVIe, Steph. Hordal, doyen de l'eglise de Toul, XVIe s., Claude Thomassin, 1661). Ce long poeme de 1168 vers latins rimes attribue dans cette edition (et dans toutes celles de cette epoque) a Bernard de Clairvaux est apocryphe. Dom Rivet, dans le VIIIe volume de l'Histoire litteraire de la France, l'attribue a Jean de Garlande, poete et grammairien anglais qui vecut en France vers le milieu du XIIIe s. C'est un ouvrage sur la morale chretienne, les vices et les vertus, le dogme catholique et les ceremonies de l'Eglise. Son titre ("florilege") viendrait du fait que l'auteur l'aurait compose comme un centon, a partir des plus beaux passages des ouvrages dont il faisait la lecture. Le Floretus attira l'attention des theologiens et est ici abondamment commente par Jean Gerson : sa glose entoure le texte en vers ecrit en caracteres plus gros. Il connut plus de 10 editions jusqu'en 1525. Seduisant exemplaire dans une reliure estampee de l'epoque, signee du relieur Ogier Roye (ou Roie) dont le baron Pichon possedait une reliure et dont une autre du meme type est reproduite par Gruel. Belle impression lyonnaise, attribuable a Etienne Gueynard avec qui Huguetan (qui n'etait pas imprimeur) etait lie depuis le debut du XVIe siecle. L'encadrement du titre dessine par G. Leroy fut d'ailleurs utilise par celui-ci pour ses propres livres. Il semble que ce soit l'une des premieres apparitions de cet encadrement qui sera reutilise plusieurs fois et copie par David dit La Mouche pour ses impressions et que l'on retrouve dans les premieres editions de Rabelais (cf. le titre du Pantagruel de Claude Nourry, 1532). C'est la seconde edition de ce texte donnee par Huguetan, la premiere etant de 1509.

[Strassburg: Matthias Hupfuff, 1513].. [7] leaves, including woodcut titlepage illustration (3 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches), plus final integral blank leaf. Quarto. Dbd., leather tab on foredge of first leaf. Slight soiling and dampstaining in margins. A very good copy. In a half morocco box. An extremely rare German translation of a newsletter first issued in Latin and published in Rome in 1513, reporting the Portuguese conquest of Malacca in 1511 and describing its rich potential as a commercial center. No copies of this seven-leaf edition are recorded in OCLC or RLIN, and only a single copy of another 1513 German translation, printed in Augsburg and consisting of five leaves, is located in the U.S. at the James Ford Bell Library. However, the British Library holds copies of both translations, and the imprint information for this edition is based on Robert Proctor's research on German books in the British Museum. The letter from Manuel I to Pope Leo X relates the conquest of Malacca by Portuguese military commander Afonso de Albuquerque in June 1511. In addition to providing details of this victorious battle, the report includes descriptions of the wealth to be found in the region and the importance of the city as a trading nexus. In particular, the text emphasizes how courteously the merchants were treated in order to ensure future commerce. Albuquerque's voyages and military exploits between 1503 and 1515 were instrumental in consolidating Portugal's expansion to India and Malaya. The present pamphlet also records his actions after he departed from Malaya and returned to Goa in 1512. These include descriptions of skirmishes with the Moors and embassies to other parts of India and Asia related to the payment of tribute to the Portuguese crown. As in the descriptions of Malacca, the potential wealth to be found in the region is emphasized. While the text of the pamphlet is entirely about the East Indies, the titlepage contains one of the earliest illustrations of an American Indian. The woodcut on the titlepage shows a native man and native woman on either side of an armorial shield immediately below a royal crown. The naked woman, with a flowering plant in her left hand, holds the bottom of the crown with her other hand as the man steadies the shield with his left hand and grasps a bow with his right hand. The man, with full beard, wears a feather crown, skirt, and leg decorations. This woodcut is exactly the same as that illustrating the titlepage of an earlier German newsletter reporting Portuguese activities in the East, Manuel I's GESCHICHTE KURTZLICH DURCH DIE VON PORTUGALIEN IN INDIA, MORENLAND, UND ANDERN ERDTRICH, published in Nuremburg circa 1507. This portrayal of the man, in turn, appears to be derived from images of South American Indians found in an illustrated Vespucci broadside printed in Nuremberg circa 1505-6 (see EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/11, and illustrated on the cover of the Wolfenbuttel exhibition catalogue) and broadsides based on Vespucci's third voyage printed in Augsburg circa 1505-6 (EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/13 and 505/14). The publisher of the present work also issued an illustrated edition of Vespucci in 1505, although not this one (see Church 22 for a reproduction). Of course, at this early time Europeans might well have supposed that the East Indians of Malacca and the natives Vespucci encountered in the New World were the same people. All of these broadsides and pamphlets, including the present work, were published within seven or eight years in three different centers of German printing. A remarkably rare early German newsletter reporting on Portuguese military and commercial activities in Malacca and India.

Gabriel Alonso de Herrera (1470-1539) born into a farming family, is considered to be the father of modern-day Spanish agriculture. He learned about agriculture from working with his father in the fields of Talavera de la Reina, in Granada with the Moors, studying Spanish Arabic and classical Roman texts on the subject, and travelling extensively throughout Europe.In this work which is divided into six books he deals with cultivation, (Book II is devoted to the cultivation of the vine and wine-making), the breeding of livestock, beekeeping, gardens and orchards and the economy of farming. His work went into many editions in the 16th century and continued to be reprinted, as a manual for practical use, until as late as 1858, 345 years after its first appearance.

Troisieme edition collective, la plus complete, donnee du vivant de l'auteur, des œuvres de l'humaniste italien Battista Spagnuoli (1436-1516) : recueil d'œuvres poetiques et d'essais. Surnomme «Mantovano», il entra chez les Carmes, devint general de son ordre en 1513 et entreprit de le reformer?; n'ayant pu y reussir, il abdiqua et consacra aux lettres le reste de sa vie. Sa gloire fut considerable parmi ses contemporains?: il a ete celebre, par Erasme, comme le «?Virgile chretien?» et son buste en marbre, couronne de laurier, a ete place, par sa patrie reconnaissante, a cote de celui de l'auteur de l'Eneide, ne comme lui a Mantoue. Cette edition, partagee entre Badius Ascensius, Denis Roce, Jean Petit et les freres de Marnef, est la premiere a contenir l'appareil critique de prefaces, commentaires, notes et documents annexes par Josse Bade, Sebastian Murr et Sebastian Brant. La preface de Josse Bade, datee de juin 1513, figure en tete de la premiere partie ; un poeme sur une page est imprime en noir et rouge au verso du dernier feuillet de table. Le verso du titre de la troisieme partie contient une preface de l'auteur a Francois Fantucius. Les feuillets preliminaires de la quatrieme partie renferment une correspondance entre Jean Pic de La Mirandole, Baptiste de Mantoue, Philippe Beroalde, etc., ainsi qu'une table et un poeme. Le 'De Patientia' en 49 feuillets, a ete place en fin. Traite sur les maladies physiques et mentales, il renferme l'une des premieres references sur les maladies en Amerique et les epidemies qui venaient d'etre introduites en Europe par les explorateurs de retour. On y trouve egalement des discussions sur la sante et les moyens de la conserver par une alimentation appropriee. Il contient, a sa suite, 'De Vita Beata libellus optimus' ('Eglogue de la vie bien heureuse'). (Adams, M.385. Brunet, III, 1375. Renouard, 'Josse Badius Ascensius', II, p. 139-143.

COMPENDIU MUSICES
confectu ad faciliore instructionucantum chorale discentiu.

- Venice, Lucantonio Giunta; 1513. 8vo., 120 numbered ll. A-P8. Red and black gothic letter, half page woodcut to t-p of cantors singing from a choirbook at mass, full-page woodcuts of the harmonic hand, voice register, the procession 'de l'arche alliance', and the Annunication, the last two within framed borders, smaller woodcut of the vespers of the dead. Elaborate large historiated and floriated initials, most pages music stave printed in red and black, printer's device in red at end. Light age yellowing, contemp. autograph of Giacomo Merula on t-p, the odd marginal duststain, small oilstain at upper outer corner of 3 leaves at end. Fols.17, 116, 117 skilfully, partially relaid, small paper repair in blank of last leaf. A very good copy in later cat's paw calf ruled in blind. 20th C book plate of C.E. Rava. Very rare and early instructional manual designed to facilitate the learning of choral chanting, with a section 'Cantorinus' which covers the chants for the main hours and offices, for use by cantors and ecclesiastical choirs. Beginning with a discussion of the seven-note diatonic musical scale, it demonstrates different cadences and phrases, accompanied by explanations. 'Cantorinus' systematically illustrates different musical intervals, giving various tuned responses for the liturgical seasons, the ordinary time Te Deum, tunes for the prayers, the standard responses, the Gospels, including at particular length instructions on singing morning prayers, the daily office, with variants for feast days, Passion Sunday and passiontide, ferial celebrations, Easter, Corpus Christi, the Apparition of Saint Michael, the feast of John the Baptist, the assumption of the Blessed Virgin, the triumph of the Cross and feasts of apostles and martyrs, concluding with the Vespers of the Dead. The first printed book containing music - which was added to the book by hand - was the Mainz Psalter. For some years sometimes blank spaces were left with no music or lines at all, sometimes the staff lines were printed with the notes added later by hand, sometimes the notes were printed with the staff lines added later. In 1476 Ulrich Hahn printed the Missale secundum consuetudinem curie romane, and claimed to be the first to print music. In 1493 woodcuts were used for the first secular polyphonic printing, the Historia Baetica, Rome. The earliest example of printing both staves and notes with moveable type, the Constance Graduale, occurs around 1473, and the first double-impression by Han Planck in 1496. Only by 1500 had liturgical works containing music using the double-impression technique become relatively standard. Fr. Giacomo Merula was a priest and lecturer in religion and law at the University of Pavia in the mid-16th C, and CE Rava, an Italian scholar, was responsible, i.a, for works on the illustration of Italian Renaissance books.

(colophon) Impressarum Anno post Virginis partum decimo tertio supra mille et quingentos pridie nonas aprile (9 avril 1513) [Lyon, Balthzar Gabiano Pour Bartholomeo Trott]. in-8. 335ff. Reliure moderne en daim, a l'imitation. Rarissime premiere edition de la version donnee par Simon Charpentier des Comedies de Plaute. Cette edition est importante car elle presente des ameliorations significatives sur les editions anterieures, avec plusieurs fragments inedits, des arguments en prose ajoutes a chaque piece par l'editeur et une meilleure disposition metrique. Bien qu'elle ne soit pas une contrefacon au sens strict du terme, cette edition est habituellement rangee dans la collection des rares "contrefacons aldines" parues a Lyon de 1502 a 1527, dont elle constitue l'un des fleurons. En effet, elle fut publiee a l'imitation des impressions aldines avec le caractere dessine et fondu par Balthazar de Gabiano. "Cette edition, publiee a Lyon d'apres la revision de Symon Charpentier, parisien, presente, independamment des arguments de chaque piece, un texte plus exact sous le rapport du metre que les precedentes editions. Plusieurs fragments y paraissent pour la premiere fois, et entre autres, a la fin de l'Aulularia, un morceau de 28 vers commencant par Quid hic quondam pervicus addit, mais qui n'est pas bien authentique. Comme curiosite typographique, ce meme livre se recommande et par sa rarete et parce qu'il appartient a cette suite d'impressions lyonnaises qui s'annexe a la collection aldine. Le titre de Plaute est tire en rouge et porte un fleur de lis; ce qui a fait attribuer mal a propos l'edition aux Junte de Florence" (Brunet). "Ce volume est l'un des plus rares et des meilleurs de cette collection lyonnaise; mais on ne le rencontre guere que dans le plus pitoyable etat de conservation" (Renouard). Bel exemplaire tres frais, revetu d'une reliure pastiche parfaitement executee. Adams P 1483. Bibliotheca Bibliographica Aureliana CXLI, S. 107. Brunet, IV, 708.

[Strassburg: Matthias Hüpfüff, 1513]. [7] leaves, including woodcut titlepage illustration (3 1/4 x4 1/2 inches), plus final integral blank leaf. Quarto. Dbd., leather tab on foredge of first leaf. Slight soiling and dampstaining in margins. A very good copy. In a half morocco box. An extremely rare German translation of a newsletter first issued in Latin and published in Rome in 1513, reporting the Portuguese conquest of Malacca in 1511 and describing its rich potential as a commercial center. No copies of this seven-leaf edition are recorded in OCLC or RLIN, and only a single copy of another 1513 German translation, printed in Augsburg and consisting of five leaves, is located in the U.S. at the James Ford Bell Library. However, the British Library holds copies of both translations, and the imprint information for this edition is based on Robert Proctor's research on German books in the British Museum. The letter from Manuel I to Pope Leo X relates the conquest of Malacca by Portuguese military commander Afonso de Albuquerque in June 1511. In addition to providing details of this victorious battle, the report includes descriptions of the wealth to be found in the region and the importance of the city as a trading nexus. In particular, the text emphasizes how courteously the merchants were treated in order to ensure future commerce. Albuquerque's voyages and military exploits between 1503 and 1515 were instrumental in consolidating Portugal's expansion to India and Malaya. The present pamphlet also records his actions after he departed from Malaya and returned to Goa in 1512. These include descriptions of skirmishes with the Moors and embassies to other parts of India and Asia related to the payment of tribute to the Portuguese crown. As in the descriptions of Malacca, the potential wealth to be found in the region is emphasized. While the text of the pamphlet is entirely about the East Indies, the titlepage contains one of the earliest illustrations of an American Indian. The woodcut on the titlepage shows a native man and native woman on either side of an armorial shield immediately below a royal crown. The naked woman, with a flowering plant in her left hand, holds the bottom of the crown with her other hand as the man steadies the shield with his left hand and grasps a bow with his right hand. The man, with full beard, wears a feather crown, skirt, and leg decorations. This woodcut is exactly the same as that illustrating the titlepage of an earlier German newsletter reporting Portuguese activities in the East, Manuel I's GESCHICHTE KURTZLICH DURCH DIE VON PORTUGALIEN IN INDIA, MORENLAND, UND ANDERN ERDTRICH, published in Nuremburg circa 1507. This portrayal of the man, in turn, appears to be derived from images of South American Indians found in an illustrated Vespucci broadside printed in Nuremberg circa 1505-6 (see EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/11, and illustrated on the cover of the Wolfenbüttel exhibition catalogue) and broadsides based on Vespucci's third voyage printed in Augsburg circa 1505-6 (EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/13 and 505/14). The publisher of the present work also issued an illustrated edition of Vespucci in 1505, although not this one (see Church 22 for a reproduction). Of course, at this early time Europeans might well have supposed that the East Indians of Malacca and the natives Vespucci encountered in the New World were the same people. All of these broadsides and pamphlets, including the present work, were published within seven or eight years in three different centers of German printing.

Camilla Russell
Giulia Gonzaga and the Religious Controversies of Sixteenth-Century Italy
|
Brepols Publishers. Please note that deliveries to addresses in the UK and Europe will be in 4-14 business days. Other countries should refer to Alibris standard times. Giulia Gonzaga (1513-66) was renowned throughout sixteenth-century Italy as a model of pious widowhood and of female beauty. Yet over three decades she sustained a risky friendship and personal correspondence with Pietro Carnesecchi (1508-67), the one-time papal favourite who became infamous for his heretical beliefs and religious networks. Indeed, Carnesecchi was condemned to death by the Tribunal of the Roman Inquisition, implicated in part by evidence of his correspondence with donna Giulia. This major new study traces the evolution of donna Giulia's unorthodox religious ideas and associations. Considered alongside inquisitorial trial records and contemporary religious treatises, donna Giulia's written dialogue with Carnesecchi, and others, vividly reflects the religious tensions of mid-sixteenth-century Italy.

[ITALIAN DRAMA]. DOVIZI, Bernardo (il Bibbiena).
Comedia … intitolata Calandra.
|
A Sammelband of three renaissance prose comedies including an early edition of La Calandra from theSoncino press at Rimini. This play was a theatrical landmark, first performed in 1513 (the year the author became a cardinal), published in 1521, and the most frequently reprinted (and performed) comedy of the 16th century, played in every Italian city and court.The Jewish printer Gershon Soncino was the son of the printer of the first Hebrew Bible, and spent a wandering life (presumably because of religious persecution), during the course of which he set up presses in no fewer than nine Italian towns. He printed at Rimini from 1520 to 1527 when he moved to Cesena, his last halting-place before his final departure from Italy. He died in Constantinople in 1534. Soncino was the last printer of Hebrew books in the 15th century and the first in the 16th. This is one of his very few excursions into contemporary Italian literature. He printed three plays in all, this, Ariosto’s Suppositi printed at Rimini in the same year, and Machiavelli’s Mandragola printed at Cesena in 1527. All three are of the greatest rarity. Just one, the Ariosto (Yale only), features on OCLC / RLIN.On the title to the Calandra is an old (17th century) library stamp of three mounts surmounted by palm branches and a cross with the initials PLT.Manzoni, Annali Typografici dei Soncino, no. 131. Rimini, per Hieronymo Soncino, 25 July 1526.

Aldo Manuzio & Andrea Torresano, Venice:: Aldo Manuzio & Andrea Torresano,, 1513, September.. Editio Princeps. First Edition in Greek.. Contemp. vellum, title in old hand on spine, yapp fore-edge; 19th c. bookplate of former owner with Welsh motto [Fy nuw fy ngwlad a i gwyrthiau (My passion, my country and in pursuit of the miraculous) attributed to: Eyton (Eaton). Llanerchymor, Holywell, Flint, North Wales. A upright lion, above the waist, holding between the paws a ducal coronet ; lower outer corners of first two gatherings and last few leaves expertly restored, small stain to recto of one leaf, light stain to head of last two leaves, inner margin restoration in gutter of first and last leaves, minor spotting in lower blank margin of a few leaves; repairs to small wormholes at rear (no text affected), f7-g3 with narrow wormtrack in upper margin touching a few letters; folio 14 with ms signature which has been attributed to Aldus' own hand, a few other leaves with editorial corrections and marginalia in Latin and Greek. A very fine copy with wide margins. Housed in clamshell box.. Folio. 2 vols. in 1. 283 x 190mm.. Aldine anchor on t.p. & last leaf (K177, V393, Z35). Editio Princeps of the surviving works of Plato with Diogens Laertius' life of the philosopher. "That Plato should be the first of all the ancient philosophers to be translated and broadcast by the printing press was inevitable. Plato's central conception of a universe of ides, Perfect Types, of which material objects are imperfect forms, and his ethical code based on action according to human nature, developed by education, which represents the authority of the State, fitted in as well with the philosophical, religious and political thought of western Europe in the fifteenth century, striving to free itself from the shackles of scholasticism... His master Socrates had laid the foundation of scientific method in asking the essential question 'What is...?' rather than improvising theories, and this passionate belief in the answerableness of questions and the certainty that good came from knowledge was developed and idealized in the writings of Plato. Amidst a great diversity, both of subject and treatment, the dialogues are pervaded by two dominant impulses: a love of truth and a passion for human improvement. While nowhere is a definite system laid down, it has been truly said that the germs of all ideas can be found in Plato..." (Printing and the Mind of Man 27).#11;The work is prefaced by Aldus' dedication to Giovanni de Medici, (Leo X,) Aldus, in his preface, discusses the new voyages of exploration and compares them to his intellectual voyages bringing to light lost realms of literature. The same Renaissance spirit pervades both travels. This is one of the most important publications of the Aldine press and one of the cornerstones of modern philosophical and scientific thought. #11;The Greek Plato "was the last great undertaking of the first Aldine press" (Davies). "This is an exceedingly beautiful and valuable edition, which for typographical elegance may justly be ranked among the most beautiful of the productions of this illustrious printer" (Moss).

BUSTIS (Bernardin de)
Secunda pars Rosarii.
|
Haguenau, Henry Gran, 1513. - in-4 gothique, 16ff.n.ch. (le dernier blanc) - CCCXLIX folios chiffrés- 1f. blanc. Peau de truie sur ais, décor estampé d'encadrements à motifs végétaux, dos à nerfs, mors et coins doublés de cuivre, fermoirs, titre calligraphié sur la tranche. (Reliure de l'époque). Texte sur deux colonnes de 58 lignes, le titre porte seulement "Secunda pars Rosarii", le premier feuillet de texte présente deux réserves destinées à recevoir des lettrines peintes, table des matières au début du volume. Cette impression haguenovienne du XVI° siècle est due à Henry Gran, le premier imprimeur de la ville. Il publia les sermons de Bustis dès 1483, puis les réédita en 2 volumes en 1500, 1503, 1508 et 1513 (notre édition). Il n'est cependant pas signalé de première partie (Rosarium sermonum) pour cette édition-ci. A l'instar de la plupart des productions d'Henry Gran, elle se fit à la requête et aux frais de Jean Rynman, qui semble avoir été à la fois libraire, éditeur et fondeur de caractères à Haguenau. Cette "Secunda pars" contient les sermons pour la Passion, pour le dimanche de Pâques, le dimanche d'après Pâques, l'Ascension, la Pentecôte. Les sermons de Bernardin de Bustis (ou Busto), firent la gloire de leur auteur au XV°siècle. Ce capucin, membre d'une illustre famille milanaise, mort en 1500, était un homme instruit, dévot et zélé, réputé excellent prédicateur et ascète. Propagateur du Tiers-Ordre, défenseur des Monts-de-Piété, il fut en même temps grand apôtre de la dévotion à saint Joseph. (Dict. de Spiritualité I p. 1515). - (Brunet I, 1426 (entrée Bustis) cite l'édition H. Gran, 1500 - Brunet, Dict. de géographie 599 pour l'éditeur - Ritter I p. 228 : éditions en 1503, 1508, 1513 (secunda pars seulement pour cette dernière date) - Adams 1 p. 216, 3354). - Quelques marginalia et passages soulignés, écriture ancienne. Les fermoirs sont entiers. Légères traces de moisissure et mouillures claires tout au long du volume, 10 premiers feuillets déboîtés, charnière fragile, petits trous de vers sur les ais.

VITRUVIO POLIO, Marco
Vitruvius Iterum et Frontinus A Iocundo Revisi Repurgatique Quantum Ex Collatione Licuit.
|
Florentia, Philippi de Giunta, 1513. En 8º. (4) h., 187 [i.e. 188], 24, (24) folios. Portada grabada y 140 grabados en madera repartidos por el texto, marca tipográfica del impresor Giunta al verso de la última hoja. Encuadernación artística italiana de la época en piel con decoración gofrada en ambos planos, lomera con decoración inglesa del siglo dieciochocon a base de hierros dorados en los nervios y greca dorada en las calles. Segunda edición ilustrada de la Architectura de Vitruvio, editada por Fra Giocondo junto con la cuarta edición del Aquaeductibus de Julius Frontinus. La rica ornamentación con que se ilustra el libro contiene una portada grabada, marca del impresor grabada en la última hoja, y 140 grabados en madera dentro del texto que son copias reducidas de los que se emplearon en la primera edición ilustrada publicada en 1511, a excepción de cuatro, que aparecen aquí por vez primera. Cicognara considera esta edición lá más correcta. De Architectura es el único texto de arquitectura Greco-Romana que nos queda de manera íntegra. En la Italia del siglo XIV el conocimiento del tratado se difundió gracias a los trabajos de Petrarca, Boccacio y al humanista Poggio Bracciolino, que descubrió el manuscrito de San Gall en 1416. Durante el Renacimiento, el tratado de Vitruvio será la obra clave de la teoría de la arquitectura romana. La primera edición impresa apareció publicada en Roma por Giovanni Sulpicio entre 1486 y 1492, volviéndose a imprimir en Florencia en 1496 y en Venecia en 1497, todas ellas sin ilustrar. Después apareció de la mano de Fra Giovanni la primera edición ilustrada que se publicó, como hemos dicho anteriormente, en 1511, ilustrada con 136 grabados sobre madera y dedicada al Papa Julio II, quien mandó construir la nueva basílica de San Pedro en Roma. La siguiente edición en aparecer fue la presente, quinta en total, que edita el mismo Giocondo. Fra Giocondo, cuya erudición excepcional en su vida artística fue elogiada por Vasari, fue un activo arquitecto, constructor de puentes y fortificaciones, urbanista e ingeniero, que dominó tanto la arquitectura como la hidráulica y la arqueología. Además, le ayudó en su trabajo su sabiduría filológica, que queda patente en las investigaciones que realizó sobre las inscripciones latinas y en las ediciones de autores antiguos que dirigió más tarde. Por esto, y dado que siempre se lamentó el aspecto confuso del vocabulario especializado, repleto de términos griegos, de los Diez Libros de Vitruvio, Fra Giocondo incluye un glosario de términos especializados al final de la obra para mostar la etimología y el significado de la mayoría de los términos descritos por Vitruvio. Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (c. 90-20 a.c.) compuso su tratado de arquitectura a lo largo de más de treinta y cinco años, dividiéndolo en diez libros o capítulos. Vitruvius fue un "constructor, ingeniero y académico" nacido en una familia acomodada, parece que vió numerosos edificios en Asia, Grecia y la península italiana; estuvo especialmente interesado en los santuarios helenísticos y admiraba muchos de los materiales empleados por ellos. Desde hacía varios siglos que los griegos habían escrito algunos textos relativos a sus edificios; Vitruvio pudo haberlos visto en la biblioteca de Pergamon, y quizá se sirviera de ellos para inspirarse y escribir el presente tratado. Vitruvio fue también educado como constructor de aparatos de guerra e ingeniería militar, lo que le llevó a enrolarse con Julio César en algunas de sus campañas donde trabajó como arquitecto militar; describe las fortificaciones de Gallipolis en su discurso sobre la ciudad ideal. Posteriormente y por orden de Agrippa, ayudante de Octavio, Vitruvio se incorporó a los trabajos de restauración del sistema de aguas de Roma. Esto está tomado de Frontinus "De Aquaeductibus urbis Romae" compuesto hacia el año 100 d.c., y cuyo testimonio constituye la única confirmación procedente de la antigua Roma de la existencia de Vitruvius. Desque que se juntaran aquí los dos tratados, estos aparecieron juntos en las ediciones sucesivas que se han hecho de la Architetura de Vitruvio. Muy buen ejemplar, limpio y con buenos márgenes, vestido con una importante encuadernación artística italiana de época. La encuadernación expertamente restaurada en los cajos. procedencia: 1. Henry Howard (1655-1701), séptimo Duke de Norfolk, donado a:, 2. The Royal Society (con sello en tinta recordando la donación en la portada); 3. W. Gedney Beatty (1869-1941) arquitecto americado, dado como regalo a:, 4. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (ex-libris recordando la donación) referencias: Fowler 394; Berlin kat. 1799; Cicognara 697; Brunet V, 1327; Vagnetti, Vitruvio, 5; Mark J. Millard 157; Riccardi I, 493; Giunti 45 Title with woodcut border, 140 woodcut illustrations and Giunta’s device on verso of last leaf. 16th century Italian paneled calf, cover decorated in blind, spine with 18th century English gilt tooling. Second illustrated edition of the Architevtura of Vitruvius, bound with De aquaductibus by Frontinus, paginated independently but not issued separately. The woodcuts in this edition are reduced copies of those in the first illustrated edition of 1511, to which are added four new subjects. Cicognara considers this second edition the more correct. Very good copy, clean; binding expertly restored.

Waldseemuller, Martin (c. 1470 - c. 1521)
!Orbis Typus Universalis luxta Hydrographorum Traditionem! from Claudii Ptolemei... Geographie opus novissima traductione e grecorum archetypis
|
Johann Schott Strassburg: Johann Schott, 1513 THE FIRST OBTAINABLE MAP OF THE WORLD BY MARTIN WALDSEEMULLER Woodcut: 173/8! x 22 7/8! References: Rodney W. Shirley, The Mapping of the World (London, 1983), n. 35. In 1507 Martin Waldseemuller published the first map to name the New World !America,! in acknowledgement of explorer Amerigo Vespucci's discoveries. There is only one copy of the 1507 map in existence and it is in the holdings of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. By 1513, and with the publication of this map in his Ptolemaic atlas (see n.6 above), he had recognized the real importance of Christopher Columbus. In an attempt to rectify his earlier mistake, Waldseemuller removed not only the name but also the whole North American continent from his 1513 map. In a sense it was too late, as !America! had now become the popular name for the New World. But, in this !modern! world map Waldseemuller attempted to assert Columbus! important discoveries in the western hemisphere and give the explorer the credit he deserved. Therefore, this map is sometimes called the !Admiral!s Map! in view of comments made by Waldseemuller in the text (which accompanied his atlas) suggesting that information for the mapping of the New World had been supplied by Christopher Columbus. Substantiating this retraction is another map in the same volume. On the regional map of the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean (!Tabula Terre Nove!), South America is labeled !Terra Incognita! (unknown land) and bears an inscription indicating that these lands were discovered by Columbus, with no indication of Amerigo Vespucci's role in the exploration of the northern coast of South America. Waldseemuller extended the map southwards and westwards in order to show discoveries in Africa and the rest of the southern hemisphere by Columbus and Pedro Alvares Cabral. The map focuses on the Caribbean islands of Hispaniola and Isabella (Cuba) and much of the northern coast of South America and of Brazil. A vague indication of Labrador is also given. .

PTOLEMAEUS, Claudius (after 83 - ca 168 AD).
Geographie opus nouissima traductione e Grecorum archetypis castigatissime pressum.
|
Johann Schott, Strassburg 1513 - Folio (18 4/8 x 12 4/8 inches). 47 woodcut maps by Martin Waldseemüller (all but 2 double-page), including "Tabula terre nove" THE FIRST MAP IN AN ATLAS ENTIRELY DEVOTED TO AMERICA, the last map ("Lotharingia") printed in colors, 4 woodcut diagrams in text, one large woodcut of an armillary sphere on K1 (without the final blank leaf, some browning and staining, a few leaves skillfully repaired). Contemporary blind-stamped paneled calf over wooden boards, each cover decorated with alternating fillets of a stag and hunter, and a thistle and bird roll tool, fore-edges lettered in Greek: "Ptolemaio", original vellum page-markers (brass catches and clasps and corner pieces renewed to style, recently and expertly conserved by James and Stuart Brockman Ltd, full report available on request). Provenance: Copious contemporary marginal scholarly annotations in Greek and Latin; Pierre S. du Pont III (1911-1988), Collection of Navigation. THE FIRST "MODERN" EDITION OF PTOLEMY, First edition of all the maps and woodcuts, which were cut in 1507-8 at the Gymnasium Vosagense in Saint-Dié under the direction of Martin Waldseemüller and his associate Mathias Ringmann, partly at the expense of Duke René of Lorraine. The first modern atlas, and one of the most important editions of Ptolemy, containing many new regional maps: twenty new maps based on contemporary knowledge "unlike many of the alleged 'new' maps produced by earlier editors, [they] contained a great deal of new information, and in nearly every case they were decided improvements over anything that had been previously offered." ("The World Encompassed", 56), were included in addition to the traditional body of twenty-seven Ptolemaic maps derived from the 1482 Ulm edition (or possibly from the manuscript atlas of Nicolaus Germanus that served as source for the latter). Schott's edition while initiated by the most famous of all early sixteenth-century cosmographers, Martin Waldseemuller and his associate Mathias Ringmann, partly at the expense of Duke Rene of Lorraine, was brought to completion by Jacobus Eszler and Georgius Ubelin. The atlas contains the first map in an atlas entirely devoted to America ("Tabula terre nove"), often called the "Admiral's map" after Columbus. The variant map of Switzerland (the first published map of that country) differs greatly in style and lettering from the Waldseemüller series, and was probably copied from a manuscript map drawn by Konrad Türst, ca. 1495-97. The map of Lotharingia (the first map of the Duchy of Lorrain), printed in black, red and olive, is one the earliest examples of color-printing. This edition was reprinted in 1520 using the same woodcut blocks. Fairfax Murray "German" 348 and 348A; Harrisse 74; Phillips 359; Sabin 66478; Shirley 34.

Cord binding that has been repaired; now has a tied loop of cord to the centre of the spine, though I doubt that this would have been how it looked originally. Spine also reinforced with sellotape which is holding firm. Scuff tocover over the 'I' of 'In'. Light creasing and a little wear to cover. Sellotape joints to top and bottom of insides of covers which are slightly gummy. First page has a sepia drawn coach scene. Reverse has a further illustration then a page saying 'Arranged under the supervision of G Thompson Hutchinson'. Title page is decorated again and proclaims In Ye Olden Time by Sir Walter Scott, then mentions G H Edwards, E H Garrett, Harry Fenn, J S Davis abd A Woodruff, who appear to be the very capable illustrators. Undated but publisher details Hodder and Stoughton to bottom left of picture. The book follows the format of a page of verse opposite an illustration. The poem is "Christmas In The Olden Time" by Walter Scott, from Marmion Canto Number 6, a charming celebration of Christmas, talking of the many rituals, such as the heir who puts roses in his shoes and chooses his partner. All superbly illustrated. A very unusual item which would make a superb literary gift. The edition and date are unknown, but it looks late nineteenth century. Marmion is an epic poem by Walter Scott about the Battle of Flodden Field (1513) that was published in 1808. UK postage price guaranteed on this item. We are always interested in buying non-fiction books, first editions and all FOLIO SOCIETY books. We also sell high value items or large collections on commission if preferred.

Martin Waldseemüler (c. 1470 - c.1521/22)
LOTHARINGIA VASTVM REGNVM
|
Johann Schott, Strasbourg, 1513 - This is an excellent copy of one of the first maps printed in color. Johann Schott used three woodcuts to print this map. Every copy of this map that is still in existence is slightly different. This is due to fact that the exact alignment of each block in the presses at hand in the sixteenth century was almost impossible. This time consuming process required that each color is completely dry before the next was applied. Printing in color would not be attempted successfully until the nineteenth century. This copy has some aging to the paper but no more than is expected after almost five hundred years. There are period manuscript notations in the top margin and a primitive sketch of a man on the back of the map in the same ink. Neither of these mar the map in any way.

BUSTIS (Bernardin de)
Secunda pars Rosarii.
|
Haguenau, Henry Gran, 1513. - in-4 gothique, 16ff.n.ch. (le dernier blanc) - CCCXLIX folios chiffrés- 1f. blanc. Peau de truie sur ais de bois, décor estampé d'encadrements à motifs végétaux, dos à nerfs, mors et coins doublés de cuivre, fermoirs, titre calligraphié sur la tranche. (Reliure de l'époque). Texte sur deux colonnes de 58 lignes, le titre porte seulement "Secunda pars Rosarii", le premier feuillet de texte présente deux réserves destinées à recevoir des lettrines peintes, table des matières au début du volume. Cette impression haguenovienne du XVI° siècle est due à Henry Gran, le premier imprimeur de la ville. Il publia les sermons de Bustis dès 1483, puis les réédita en 2 volumes en 1500, 1503, 1508 et 1513 (notre édition). Il n'est cependant pas signalé de première partie (Rosarium sermonum) pour cette édition-ci. A l'instar de la plupart des productions d'Henry Gran, elle se fit à la requête et aux frais de Jean Rynman, qui semble avoir été à la fois libraire, éditeur et fondeur de caractères à Haguenau. Cette "Secunda pars" contient les sermons pour la Passion, pour le dimanche de Pâques, le dimanche d'après Pâques, l'Ascension, la Pentecôte. Les sermons de Bernardin de Bustis (ou Busto), firent la gloire de leur auteur au XV°siècle. Ce capucin, membre d'une illustre famille milanaise, mort en 1500, était un homme instruit, dévot et zélé, réputé excellent prédicateur et ascète. Propagateur du Tiers-Ordre, défenseur des Monts-de-Piété, il fut en même temps grand apôtre de la dévotion à saint Joseph. (Dict. de Spiritualité I p. 1515). - (Brunet I, 1426 (entrée Bustis) cite l'édition H. Gran, 1500 - Brunet, Dict. de géographie 599 pour l'éditeur - Ritter I p. 228 : éditions en 1503, 1508, 1513 (secunda pars seulement pour cette dernière date) - Adams 1 p. 216, 3354). - Quelques marginalia et passages soulignés, écriture ancienne. Les fermoirs sont complets. Légères traces de moisissure et mouillures claires tout au long du volume, 10 premiers feuillets déboîtés, charnière fragile, petits trous de vers sur les ais.

Dovizi da Bibbiena Bernardo (1470-1520)
Comedia nobilissima et ridiculosa intitulata Calandra, [Venezia], ad instantia de Nicolo et Domenico del Iesus fratelli, [non prima del 1522].
|
8° (mm 156x105); cc. (48). Grande silografia ‘scenica’ al frontespizio; marca tipografica al colophon. Legatura dell’Ottocento in mezza pelle. Seconda edizione, rarissima (due sole altre copie in Edit xvi on-line), la cui datazione si ricava dall’explicit: «Recitata ne la famosa et generosa città di Venezia: per prete Giovanni Senese Ierosolymitano nel mdxxi et nel mdxxii». La Calandra, tra le più importanti e celebri commedie del Cinquecento, fu rappresentata per la prima volta a Urbino nel 1513 e fu originariamente pubblicata Siena nel 1521, per Michelangelo ad istanza di Maestro Giovanni di Alessandro libraio. Per lungo tempo, tuttavia, si ritenne che la princeps fosse l’edizione romana del 1524. «E’ in cinque atti e in prosa. Fu considerata sino al secolo scorso la prima commedia composta e recitata in lingua italiana e, secondo Apostolo Zeno, la prima commedia in prosa stampata» (Chiesa). Le sue prime due rappresentazioni, a Urbino nel 1513 e a Roma nel 1514, sono indissolubilmente intrecciate a invenzioni scenografiche notissime agli studiosi di storia dell’arte rinascimentale: «con la scenografia della prima rappresentazione della Calandria, a Urbino nel 1513, si passa all’uso di quinte ad altorilievo. La scena è attribuita da Serlio e da Vasari a Girolamo Genga, pittore e architetto ducale. La descrizione del Castiglione è chiara: “La scena poi era finta una città bellissima, con le strade, palazzi, chiese, torri, strade vere: et ogni cosa di rilievo, ma aiutata ancora da bonissima pittura, e prospettiva bene intesa. Tra le altre cose ci era un tempio a otto facce di mezo rilievo, tanto ben finito, che con tutte l’opere del Stato d’Urbino non saria possibile a credere che fosse fatto in quattro mesi: tutto lavorato di stucco”. Risulta chiaro da questo brano che la scenografia prospettica non è una semplice tela di fondo, non è uno sfondo, bensì un ambiente, pittorico e architettonico al tempo stesso. La scena della seconda rappresentazione della Calandria (dicembre 1514, a Roma, alla presenza del papa e di Isabella d’Este Gonzaga, ospite della corte pontificia) è invece accreditata a Baldassarre Peruzzi, pittore senese vissuto a lungo a Roma, che ha peraltro stretti rapporti con il Genga. Proprio Peruzzi sembra aver giocato un ruolo centrale nel definirsi e rafforzarsi del discorsoprospettico. Già Vasari vedeva in lui l’inventore della novità: “E quando si recitò al detto papa Leone la Calandra, comedia del cardinale di Bibbiena, fece Baldassarre l’apparato e la prospettiva, che non fu manco bella, anzi più assai che quella che aveva altra volta fatto, come si è detto sopra; ed in queste sì fatte opere meritò tanto più lode, quanto per un gran pezzo adietro l’uso delle comedie, e conseguentemente delle scene e prospettive, era stato dismesso; facendosi in quella vece feste e rappresentazioni; ed o prima o poi che si recitasse la detta Calandra, la quale fu una delle prime comedie volgari che si vedesse o recitasse, basta che Baldassarre fece al tempo di Leone x due scene che furono maravigliose, ed apersono la via a coloro che ne hanno poi fatto a’ tempi nostri”».

- [Parisiis], Ascensianus (Josse Bade) & Dionysii Roce, 1513. 4 parties reliées en un volume in folio (284 x 206 mm), pleine peau de truie sur ais de bois garnie d’un motif d’encadrement de larges roulettes de fleurs et feuillages estampées à froid, dos à nerfs orné de grands fers à froid entrenerfs (reliure de l’époque), (6), ccli f., (1) f. blanc ; clxviii f. ; (4), cxcv f., (1) f. blanc et xlix f., (qqs pet. gal. de vers, un cahier lég. débroché), caractères romains, manchettes, titres - dont un noir et rouge - dans un bel encadrement historié à la grande marque de Denis Roce, lettrines sur fond criblé. Troisième édition collective, la plus complète, donnée du vivant de l’auteur, des œuvres de l'humaniste italien Battista Spagnuoli (1436-1516) : recueil d’œuvres poétiques et d’essais. Surnommé «Mantovano», il entra chez les Carmes, devint général de son ordre en 1513 et entreprit de le réformer?; n'ayant pu y réussir, il abdiqua et consacra aux lettres le reste de sa vie. Sa gloire fut considérable parmi ses contemporains?: il a été célébré, par Erasme, comme le «?Virgile chrétien?» et son buste en marbre, couronné de laurier, a été placé, par sa patrie reconnaissante, à côté de celui de l’auteur de l’Enéide, né comme lui à Mantoue. Cette édition, partagée entre Badius Ascensius, Denis Roce, Jean Petit et les frères de Marnef, est la première à contenir l’appareil critique de préfaces, commentaires, notes et documents annexes par Josse Bade, Sébastian Murr et Sébastian Brant. La préface de Josse Bade, datée de juin 1513, figure en tête de la première partie ; un poème sur une page est imprimé en noir et rouge au verso du dernier feuillet de table. Le verso du titre de la troisième partie contient une préface de l’auteur à François Fantucius. Les feuillets préliminaires de la quatrième partie renferment une correspondance entre Jean Pic de La Mirandole, Baptiste de Mantoue, Philippe Béroalde, etc., ainsi qu’une table et un poème. Le 'De Patientia' en 49 feuillets, a été placé en fin. Traité sur les maladies physiques et mentales, il renferme l’une des premières références sur les maladies en Amérique et les épidémies qui venaient d’être introduites en Europe par les explorateurs de retour. On y trouve également des discussions sur la santé et les moyens de la conserver par une alimentation appropriée. Il contient, à sa suite, 'De Vita Beata libellus optimus' ('Eglogue de la vie bien heureuse'). (Adams, M.385. Brunet, III, 1375. Renouard, 'Josse Badius Ascensius', II, p. 139-143.

(1 blank) [Collation: '*'-10'*'8 a-z8 A-Y8 (Q3 unsigned)]. Third Aldine edition of this collection of the main texts on the Latin language available to the early humanists: the most important Renaissance dictionary/encyclopaedia, written by Niccolo Perroti, together with the three most important and influential classical texts on the subject by Varro, Festus and Nonius Marcellus.The greater part of this impressive Aldus edition is occupied by the Cornucopia of the Italian humanist Perotti. Written as a commentary on book I of Martial, it includes a discussion on almost every word of Martial's text and thus transcended its original ambition, becoming a standard work of reference on the Latin language. One commentator calls it 'a massive encyclopedia of the classical world. Every verse, indeed every word of Martial's text was a hook on which Perotti hung a densely woven tissue of linguistic, historical and cultural knowledge'. The book was dedicated to the condottiere Federico da Montefeltro of Urbino (whose portrait was painted by Pierro della Francesco). The work was revised and expanded by Perotti's son Pyrrhus who made a number of additions of his own.The first edition of the Cornucopia was published in Venice by Paganino de Paganin in 1489; the first Aldine edition in 1499. Our edition is a page-for-page reprint of the second Aldus edition of 1513. The colophon on the last column has still 'November 1513', while the colophon at the end of the Cornucopia has 'November 1517 (col. 1054). In the first1499 edition Aldus explains in the preface that the text has been carefully numbered by page and by line (as also in our edition, so that the index can be precisely keyed. This marked the inception of a modern scholarly system of reference (see F. Geldner, Inkunabelkunde, p. 69). Niccolo' Perotti or Perottus (1429-1480) was an Italian cleric and humanist writer, born and died in Sassoferrato near Fano (Italy). From 1451 to 1453 he taught rhetoric and poetry at the University of Bologna. In 1452 he was made Poet Laureate in Bologna by the Emperor Frederick III, as acknowledgment of his speech of welcome. He was the papal secretary from 1455 and he was made archbishop of Siponto in 1458.Although his later career was as a papal governor, he continued his scholarly pursuits, editing the works of the Roman writers Pliny and Martial. Apart from his Cornucopia, he wrote a Latin school grammar, Rudimenta Grammatices (printed by Pannartz and Sweynheim in 1473), one of the earliest and most popular Renaissance Latin grammars, which attempted to exclude many words and constructions of medieval, rather than classical, origin. Described by Erasmus as 'accurate, yet not pedantic', it became a bestseller of its day, going through 117 editions. With Pomponio Leto, he produced a version of the poet Martial's Epigrammaton in the 1470s. To the Cornucopia are added: the three most important classical text on the grammar and etymology of the Latin language:- cols. 1057-1110: Marcellus Terentius Varro (116-27BC), a prolific classical author of whom only two works partly survive. In this Aldus edition the known books 4-6 of his most famous work De lingua Latina are given, together with the three books De analogia (cols. 1093-1110), which also belong to the De lingua Latina.- cols. 1111-1226: of the Roman grammarian Sextus Pompeius Festus (2nd cent. AD) is added his epitome in 21 books of the encyclopaedic treatise De verborum significatione of Valerius Flaccus. Festus gives the etymology as well as the meaning of many words, and his work throws considerable light on the Latin language, myt

(colophon) Impressarum Anno post Virginis partum decimo tertio supra mille et quingentos pridie nonas aprile (9 avril 1513) [Lyon, Balthzar Gabiano Pour Bartholomeo Trott]. - in-8. 335ff. Reliure moderne en daim, à l'imitation. Rarissime première édition de la version donnée par Simon Charpentier des Comédies de Plaute. Cette édition est importante car elle présente des améliorations significatives sur les éditions antérieures, avec plusieurs fragments inédits, des arguments en prose ajoutés à chaque pièce par l'éditeur et une meilleure disposition métrique. Bien qu'elle ne soit pas une contrefaçon au sens strict du terme, cette édition est habituellement rangée dans la collection des rares "contrefaçons aldines" parues à Lyon de 1502 à 1527, dont elle constitue l'un des fleurons. En effet, elle fut publiée à l'imitation des impressions aldines avec le caractère dessiné et fondu par Balthazar de Gabiano. "Cette édition, publiée à Lyon d'après la révision de Symon Charpentier, parisien, présente, indépendamment des arguments de chaque pièce, un texte plus exact sous le rapport du mètre que les précédentes éditions. Plusieurs fragments y paraissent pour la première fois, et entre autres, à la fin de l'Aulularia, un morceau de 28 vers commençant par Quid hic quondam pervicus addit, mais qui n'est pas bien authentique. Comme curiosité typographique, ce même livre se recommande et par sa rareté et parce qu'il appartient à cette suite d'impressions lyonnaises qui s'annexe à la collection aldine. Le titre de Plaute est tiré en rouge et porte un fleur de lis; ce qui a fait attribuer mal à propos l'édition aux Junte de Florence" (Brunet). "Ce volume est l'un des plus rares et des meilleurs de cette collection lyonnaise; mais on ne le rencontre guère que dans le plus pitoyable état de conservation" (Renouard). Bel exemplaire très frais, revêtu d'une reliure pastiche parfaitement exécutée. Adams P 1483. Bibliotheca Bibliographica Aureliana CXLI, S. 107. Brunet, IV, 708.

- 3 Teile in 1 Bd. Kl.-4to (207 x 142 mm) Mit 2 Titelholzschnitten (wiederholt), 1 breiten Holzschnitt-Titelbordüre (Directorium) und 118 Holzschnitten von Urs Graf im Text. Erster Titel in Rot und Schwarz. [8], 186, [4], 39, [1] Bl. (die Bl. 25v und 26 r sowie 276v und 28r sind unbedruckt). Schweinslederband d. Z. über 3 erhabenen Bünden, mit reicher Blindprägung, 2 intakten Metallschliessen. (Basel, Adam Petri, 31. Juli 1513). Mit Holzschnitten von Urs Graf illustrierte dritte Ausgabe der Postilla durch Adam Petri, zuvor bereits 1509 und erneut 1511 aufgelegt. Auf dem wiederholten Titelholzschnitt, mit der Jahrzahl 1513 in der Banderole, predigt Christus in offener Landschaft vor seinen Jüngern und dem Volk, in den Ecken die drei Apostel Petrus, Paulus und Jakobus sowie der Prophet Daniel, je dazwischen die vier Evangelistensymbole. Die im Aussenteg der Bll. 56 und vor allem 57 gedruckten hebräischen Buchstaben stellen die ersten in Basel gegossenen hebräischen Typen dar. Sie gehören zum ersten Kapitel der Proverbia, "dessen einzelne Verse im hebräischen Originaltext bekanntlich der Reihe nach mit den einzelnen Buchstaben des Alphabets beginnen. Zu Anfang eines jeden Verses der vorliegenden lateinischen Übersetzung ist am Rande der hebräische Anfangsbuchstabe vermerkt, jeweils mit darüberstehender Benennung" (J. Prijs, Die Basler hebräischen Drucke, S. 4). Die Verfasserschaft dieser sehr häufig gedruckten Predigtsammlung zu den für die Tage des Kirchenjahres fest bestimmten Bibeltexten und Heiligen wurde lange dem Pariser Dominikaner Guillermus (oder Guillelmus) zugeschrieben, heute wird aber der Prediger und Generalvikar am Katharinenkloster in Nürnberg, Johannes Herolt als Urheber angenommen. Als Anhang und mit einem eigenen, von einer breiten Bordüre umrahmten Titel, fügte Adam Petri zur Postilla auch hier wieder die Passionsandachten (Directorium in dominice passionis articulos) des Herausgebers, des Basler Barfüsserpredigers Daniel Agricola (1490-1540), hinzu. "Petris exemplarische Doppeldrucke haben bewirkt, dass von 1509 an beide Texte nur noch in Basel erschienen sind" (Frank Hieronymus). Der seit 1509 in Basel tätige Solothurner Holzschneider Urs Graf (1485-1527) schuf auch den Titelholzschnitt sowie 98 Textholzschnitte für die Postilla und 20 für die Passio. - Vier Seiten blieben versehentlich unbedruckt, der Text teilweise von alter Hand eingefügt, einzelne Bll. mit extensiven Marginalien von zeitgenössischer Humanistenhand; Titelblatt mit kleiner Fehlstelle im Innensteg oben (Verlust von zwei Buchstaben) sowie recto etwas bestaubt und fleckig, fast durchgehend im Kopf und gegen Schluss unten wasserrandig, ein gutes Exemplar im ersten Einband. Hs. Monogramm CHW , datiert 1575 und mit Motto von Petrejus 'Omnia cum tempore' auf Spiegel des Vorderdeckels. VD 16, E-4385; Hieronymus, Petri-Schwabe I, 21a; Adams G-1599; Goff, The Postilla of Guillermus Parisiensis, in: Gutenberg Jahrbuch 1959, S. 73f. Third Basel edition of the Postilla by Adam Petri, with the woodcuts of Urs Graf, previously published in 1509 and1511. With the Hebrew letters to the last chapter ot the Proverbia in outer margin of leafes 56 and 57. "This compilation of the Postilla was written down in 1437 expressly for members of the clergy and for those desirous of understanding the excerpts from the Epistles and the Evangelists, more commonly called lessons, which are read at appropriate services throughout the church year. It obviously filled a most pressing need" (Goff). - With extensive notes by a contemporary hand on recto and verso of final leaf. - Three short wormtracks on outer margin of title. - Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, back on three raised bands, with 3 (of 4) ties.

Die handschriftliche Uberlieferung von Platons Symposion
|
Reichert Verlag. Hardcover. 388226554X Zum äSymposionô wie auch zu anderen Überlieferungen des äCorpus Platonicumô fehlte bisher eine gründliche Aufarbeitung der Textgeschichte. Platons äSymposionô ist in 55 Handschriften aus dem byzantinischen Mittelalter und der Renaissance (vom 9. bis 16. Jh.) sowie in einem spätantiken Papyrus (etwa die Hälfte des Textes) überliefert. Mit einbezogen in die Untersuchung ist die Editio Princeps, 1513 von Aldus Manutius in Venedig herausgebracht, mitsamt den unmittelbar von ihr abhängigen frühen Ausgaben sowie Marsilio Ficinos lateinische Übersetzung, die zuerst 1484 in Florenz erschienen ist. Umfangreiche Partien wurden in allen Textzeugen verglichen. Aufgrund dieser Kollationen lieaen sich nach den Grundlagen der Textkritik die Abhängigkeiten der Handschriften voneinander bestimmen. Anhand dieser Erkenntnisse kann eine neue Edition des äSymposionô erstellt werden. Ein anderer Aspekt widmet sich der Paläographie und Handschriftengeschichte. Die Beschäftigung mit der Tradierung des platonischen Werkes ist gleichzeitig eine Beschäftigung mit der Geschichte des Platonismus. Die mittelalterlichen Handschriften verweisen häufig direkt in die Kreise berühmter byzantinischer Gelehrter und Humanisten. Ziel der Arbeit ist über die Erstellung eines vollständigen Stemmas hinaus die Erhellung des Zusammenhanges von Texttradierung, Geistes- und Kulturgeschichte. 346p, 64(Reichert 1992)". 9783882265545. Hardback . New. 1992-01-01.

Giulia Gonzaga and the Religious Controversies of Sixteenth-Century Italy
|
Brepols Publishers. Giulia Gonzaga (1513-66) was renowned throughout sixteenth-century Italy as a model of pious widowhood and of female beauty. Yet over three decades she sustained a risky friendship and personal correspondence with Pietro Carnesecchi (1508-67), the one-time papal favourite who became infamous for his heretical beliefs and religious networks. Indeed, Carnesecchi was condemned to death by the Tribunal of the Roman Inquisition, implicated in part by evidence of his correspondence with donna Giulia. This major new study traces the evolution of donna Giulia's unorthodox religious ideas and associations. Considered alongside inquisitorial trial records and contemporary religious treatises, donna Giulia's written dialogue with Carnesecchi, and others, vividly reflects the religious tensions of mid-sixteenth-century Italy. ISBN10: 2503518079.
