It is notable to its elegant typography and numerous woodcuts and vignettes relating to the text. Attempts to codify the body of canon law began in earnest during the Carolingian Empire. These efforts reached fruition between 1020 and 1025 in the twenty-volume Decretum of Burchard, Bishop of Worms. The next great step was taken in 1151 with Gratian's Concordia Discordantium Canonum, or Decretum Gratiani, a watershed compilation that superseded earlier collections. The Libre Quinque Decretalium of Gregory IX followed in 1234. Published in 1298, the Liber Sextus of Boniface VIII was the last great collection of the pre-Reformation era. John XXII adde.

Hernandez de Toledo, Francisco (1514-1587)
Antiguedades de la Nueva Espana
      pspan style="font-family: Arial;"363 pages with illustrations and index. Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 7 1/4") rebound in full leather with red and black spine labels and gilt lettering, original wrappers bound in. Translated by Joaquin Garcia Pimentel. From the library of George M Foster. 1st Mexican edition limited to 100 copies.br /br /Francisco HernA!ndez de Toledo (La Puebla de MontalbA!n, Toledo 1514 a!! Madrid 28 January 1587) was a naturalist and court physician to the King of Spain. HernA!ndez was among the first wave of Spanish Renaissance physicians practicing according to the revived principles formulated by Hippocrates, Galen and Avicenna. HernA!ndez studied medicine and botany at the University of AlcalA! and may have traveled between cities in Spain as was common among physicians seeking to make a name for themselves. Moving from Seville with his wife and children, HernA!ndez served briefly in the Hospital y Monasterio de Guadalupe and then at the Hospital Mendoza in Toledo, where he gained prominence for his studies of medicinal botany and publication of a Castilian translation of a work on natural history by Pliny the Elder. In 1567 HernA!ndez became a personal physician to King Philip II. In 1571 HernA!ndez was ordered to embark on the first scientific mission in the New World, a study of the region's medicinal plants. Accompanied by his son Juan, he traveled for 7 years collecting and classifying specimens, interviewing the indigenous people through translators and conducting medical studies in Mexico and the Philippines. He was assisted by three indigenous painters (baptized, AntA3n, Baltazar ElA!as and Pedro VA!zquez respectively), who prepared illustrations. During the 1576 yellow fever ("cocoliztle") epidemic HernA!ndez performed autopsies in the Hospital Real de San JosA! de los Naturales in collaboration with surgeon Alonso LA3pez de Hinojosos and physician Juan de la Fuente. Parts of Francisco HernA!ndez' extensive descriptions of his findings were published in a translated collection entitled emPlantas y Animales de la Nueva Espana, y sus virtudes por Francisco Hernandez/em, y de Latin en Romance por Fr. Francisco Ximenez (Mexico, 1615) also cited as emCuatro libros de la naturaleza y virtudes de las plantas y animales que estA!n recibidos en uso de medicina en la Nueva EspaA!a/em published by Francisco JimA!nez. A heavily redacted compendium in the original Latin was later published as emRerum medicarum Novae Hispaniae thesaurus/em (Rome, 1628) by collector, Federico Cesi. Another impression was put out by Johannes Schreck and Fabio Colonna as emNova plantarum, animalium et mineralium mexicanorum historia a Francisco HernA!ndez in indis primum compilata, de inde a Nardo Antonio Reccho in volumen digesta/em (Rome: Vital Mascardi, 1648). Some of HernA!ndez' original manuscripts are housed in the library of the Escorial, but many were lost in the fire of July 17, 1671. A new compilation by physician Casimiro GA3mez Ortega, based on additional material found in the Colegio Imperial de los Jesuitas de Madrid was entitled emFrancisci Hernandi, medici atque historici Philippi II, hispan et indiar. Regis, et totius novi orbis archiatri. Opera, cum edita, tum medita, ad autobiographi fidem et jusu regio/em. (1790).br /br /George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview.

Belle édition de cette encyclopédie populaire, médicale et gastronomique. Girolamo Manfredi, philosophe, astrologue et professeur universitaire né à Bologne vers 1430, est mort dans cette ville en 1493. La première édition de son traité de santé, composé sous forme de questions et réponses – ce qui lui a valu la dénomination de livre du Perchè (pourquoi) –, a paru pour la première fois en 1474 sous le titre de Liber de homine. Manfredi y aborde la question de la conservation de la santé sous tous ses aspects, des conditions atmosphériques à la qualité du sommeil en passant par l'influence des saisons, la nature des vents, l'exercice physique, les passions de l'âme etc. Une grande partie du volume, sans conteste la plus intéressante, concerne l'alimentation et les régimes de santé, avec des considérations sur les différents types de boissons et notamment le vin : ""Les différentes qualités de vins, la façon dont on doit boire sagement et celle dont on peut boire plus que de raison occupent une place importante dans cet ouvrage dont les éditions furent fort nombreuses au XVIe siècle"" (Simon). La moitié du titre est ornée d'un bois gravé représentant ""un homme nu, posé de face, les bras écartés du corps, avec des lignes droites partant des différentes parties du corps et qui devaient aboutir, sur le livre d'anatomie auquel cette figure est empruntée, à des désignations qui ont été supprimées ici"" (Sander). Quelques lettrines ornées. L'imprimeur Simone da Lovere, originaire de Lovere (près de Bergame) et actif à Venise à partir de 1489, utilisa le matériel typographique qui avait appartenu à Lazzaro Soardi.

Diaz del Castillo, Bernal (1492!1585)
The True History of the Conquest of Mexico, By Captain Bernal Diaz del Castillo, one of the Conquerors. Written in the year 1568
      pspan style="font-family: Arial;"viii+514 pages with frontispiece map. Quarto (10 1/2" x 8 3/4") bound in full leather with gilt lettering to spine. Translated by Maurice Keatinge. From the library of George M Foster. 1st English edition.br /br /was a conquistador, who wrote an eyewitness account of the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards under Hernan Cortes, himself serving as a rodelero under Cortes. Born in Medina del Campo (Spain), he came from a family of little wealth and he himself had received only a minimal education. He sailed to Cuba in 1514 to make his fortune, but after two years found few opportunities there. Much of the native population of the island had already been killed by epidemics and forced labor, and in 1517 an expedition was sent to the smaller Caribbean islands to find alternative sources of labor. Diaz joined this group, under the command of Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba. It was a difficult venture, and although they discovered the Yucatan coast, by the time the expedition returned to Cuba they were in disastrous shape. Nevertheless, Diaz returned to the coast of Yucatan the following year, on an expedition led by Juan de Grijalva, with the intent of exploring the newly discovered lands. Upon returning to Cuba, he enlisted in a new expedition, this one led by Hernan Cortes. In this third effort, Diaz took part in one of the legendary military campaigns of history, bringing an end to the Aztec empire in Mesoamerica. During this campaign, Diaz spoke frequently with his companions in arms about their experiences, collecting them into a coherent narration. The book that resulted from this was emHistoria verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana/em (English: emThe True History of the Conquest of New Spain/em. In it he describes many of the 119 battles in which he claims to have participated, culminating in the fall of the Aztec Empire in 1521.br /br /As a reward for his service, Diaz was appointed governor of Santiago de los Caballeros, present-day Antigua Guatemala. He began writing his history in 1568, almost fifty years after the events described, in response to an alternative history written by Cortes's chaplain, who had not actually participated in the campaign. He called his book the Verdadera Historia ("True History"), in response to the claims made in the earlier work. Diaz died in 1585, without seeing his book published. A manuscript was found in a Madrid library in 1632 and finally published, providing an eye-witness account of the events, often told from the perspective of a common soldier. Today it is one of the most important sources in understanding the campaign that led to the collapse of the Aztec Empire and the Spanish conquest of Mexico.br /br /George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus.

SIGISMUND I., König von Polen (1467-1548) - DIE SCHLACHT
vo[n] dem Kunig von Poln. vn[d] mit dem Moscowiter gescheen am tag Marie gepurt. M.CCCCC.Xiiij.
      - Kl.-4to. Mit fast ganzseitigem Titelholzschnitt. [3] S. Flexibler Pergamentband. (Nürnberg, Jobst Gutknecht, 1514). Erstausgabe. Äusserst seltener, mit grossem Titelholzschnitt illustrierter zeitgenössischer Bericht über die Schlacht bei Orscha am 8. September 1514. Die Kräfte Polen-Litauens standen unter dem Kommando des Grosshetmans von Litauen, Konstanty Ostrogski, jene Moskowiens unter dem Befehl des Konjuschis von Moskowien, Iwan Tscheljadin und Knjas Michael Goliza. Die viel kleinere polnisch-litauische Armee besiegte die Streitkräfte des russisch-moskowitischen Grossfürsten und stoppte vorerst dessen Expansionsdrang. König Sigismund I. von Polen versuchte in der Folge, so viel Nutzen wie möglich aus dem Sieg zu erzielen. Im folgenden Jahr schloss er ein Heirats- und somit auch Regierungsbündnis mit Kaiser Maximilian von Habsburg. Der Kaiser erkannte die Thorner Friendesbestimmung von 1466 an und verzichtete darauf, Polen-Litauen zusammen mit dem Grossfürsten von Moskau anzugreifen. Der prachtvolle, noch ganz im Stil der Illustrationen in mittelalterlichen Chroniken gehaltene Holzschnitt wurde später noch in anderen Drucken des seit 1514 in Nürberg wirkenden Druckerverlegers Jobst Gutknecht verwendet. Die vorliegende Flugschrift zählt zu den allerersten Drucken dieser Offizin, aus der bis 1542 über 350 Druckwerke nachgewiesen werden. - Unbedeutender Braunfleck im Aussensteg. VD 16, S-2936 (3 Exx.; BSB München, HAB Wolfenbüttel und OeNB Wien); Weller, Repertorium, 851; Schottenloher, Flugblatt und Zeitung, Abb. S. 159; First edition. Exceedingly scarce contemporary German account on the battle of Orsha, finely illustrated with a large title woodcut. The Battle of Orsha took place September 8, 1514, between the forces of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Kingdom of Poland, under the command of Hetman Konstanty Ostrogski, and the army of Grand Duchy of Moscow under Konyushy, Ivan Chelyadnin and Kniaz (Prince) Mikhail Golitsa. The Battle of Orsha - one of the biggest battles of 16th-century Europe - was part of a long chain of the Russo-Lithuanian Wars conducted by Russian rulers striving to gather all the Old Ruthenian lands under their rule. Due to the spectacular proportions of the defeat, information about the Battle of Orsha was suppressed in Muscovite chronicles. King Sigismund I of Poland on the other hand sought to gain as much political advantage as possible from his victory.

VIGO, Giovanni de;
Practica in Chirurgica copiosa. continens novem libros.
      Roma per S. Guillireti et H. Bononiensem 1514 - In-folio de 220 ff.ch. et 5 ff.n.ch.; peau de truie estampée à froid (reliure de l'époque). Garrison-Morton, 5559.1; Waller, 9976; N.L.M. 4605 (incomp.); cf. Des Français à Rome, 11-15. Edition originale. Editée par Giovanni Antracini et imprimée à Rome par Etienne Guillery en association avec Hercule Bononiensis. "The first complete system of surgery after that of Guy de Chauliac. It contains an account of gunshot wounds and a section on syphilis. It was a book which especially suited a practitioner who knew nothing of anatomy and feared or dislike to make use of the knife" (Garrison-Morton). Giovanni da Vigo (1460-1525) fut le chirurgien du pape Jules II. Dans cet ouvrage, qui connut de nombreuses éditions, il traite des deux problèmes majeurs auxquels les chirurgiens de l'époque devaient faire face : les plaies par arme à feu et la syphilis. Il donne de bonnes descriptions de la gangrène, des fractures du crâne, de l'hydrocèle, de l'hémostase par ligature et conseille des frictions mercurielles contre la syphilis. Ambroise Paré s'opposera à sa méthode de cautérisation des plaies à l'aide d'huile bouillante et d'onguents. Bel exemplaire, lavé et replacé dans sa reliure, restaurations à l'angle de quelques feuillets surtout en fin de volume. [Attributes: First Edition]

SIGISMUND I., König von Polen (1467-1548) - DIE SCHLACHT
vo[n] dem Kunig von Poln. vn[d] mit dem Moscowiter gescheen am tag Marie gepurt. M.CCCCC.Xiiij.
      (Nürnberg, Jobst Gutknecht, 1514). - Kl.-4to. Mit fast ganzseitigem Titelholzschnitt. [3] S. Flexibler Pergamentband. Erstausgabe. Äusserst seltener, mit grossem Titelholzschnitt illustrierter zeitgenössischer Bericht über die Schlacht bei Orscha am 8. September 1514. Die Kräfte Polen-Litauens standen unter dem Kommando des Grosshetmans von Litauen, Konstanty Ostrogski, jene Moskowiens unter dem Befehl des Konjuschis von Moskowien, Iwan Tscheljadin und Knjas Michael Goliza. Die viel kleinere polnisch-litauische Armee besiegte die Streitkräfte des russisch-moskowitischen Grossfürsten und stoppte vorerst dessen Expansionsdrang. König Sigismund I. von Polen versuchte in der Folge, so viel Nutzen wie möglich aus dem Sieg zu erzielen. Im folgenden Jahr schloss er ein Heirats- und somit auch Regierungsbündnis mit Kaiser Maximilian von Habsburg. Der Kaiser erkannte die Thorner Friendesbestimmung von 1466 an und verzichtete darauf, Polen-Litauen zusammen mit dem Grossfürsten von Moskau anzugreifen. Der prachtvolle, noch ganz im Stil der Illustrationen in mittelalterlichen Chroniken gehaltene Holzschnitt wurde später noch in anderen Drucken des seit 1514 in Nürberg wirkenden Druckerverlegers Jobst Gutknecht verwendet. Die vorliegende Flugschrift zählt zu den allerersten Drucken dieser Offizin, aus der bis 1542 über 350 Druckwerke nachgewiesen werden. - Unbedeutender Braunfleck im Aussensteg. VD 16, S-2936 (3 Exx.; BSB München, HAB Wolfenbüttel und OeNB Wien); Weller, Repertorium, 851; Schottenloher, Flugblatt und Zeitung, Abb. S. 159; First edition. Exceedingly scarce contemporary German account on the battle of Orsha, finely illustrated with a large title woodcut. The Battle of Orsha took place September 8, 1514, between the forces of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Kingdom of Poland, under the command of Hetman Konstanty Ostrogski, and the army of Grand Duchy of Moscow under Konyushy, Ivan Chelyadnin and Kniaz (Prince) Mikhail Golitsa. The Battle of Orsha - one of the biggest battles of 16th-century Europe - was part of a long chain of the Russo-Lithuanian Wars conducted by Russian rulers striving to gather all the Old Ruthenian lands under their rule. Due to the spectacular proportions of the defeat, information about the Battle of Orsha was suppressed in Muscovite chronicles. King Sigismund I of Poland on the other hand sought to gain as much political advantage as possible from his victory. Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor was impressed by the scope of the Polish-Lithuanian victory and started peace negotiations with Jagiellons in Vienna in 1515. The finely executed large woodcut was reissued later by the Nuremberg printer Jobst Gutknecht who started business in 1514. Until his death in 1542 over 350 titles left his press. - Minor brown stain in outer margin. - Flexible old vellum. [Attributes: First Edition]

Jordanus Nemorarius]
Arithmetica decem libris demonstrata. Musica libri demostrata quator. Epitome in Libros Arithmeticos diui Seuerini Boetij. Rithmimachie ludus qui et pugna numuroru appellatur.
      - Paris, H. Estienne, (7 Sept. 1514). 4to (27.3 x 19.2 cm), printed in Gothic type. Title set within woodcut border, full-page woodcut on one page and small woodcut illustrations and diagrams throughout. Many decorative initials. Expertly executed new calf binding in period style. *Historians of mediaeval mathematics agree that Jordanus de Nemore (1225-1260) was one of the most important writers on mathematics in Europe. He was, for example, among the first to use letters to replace numbers in algebraic calculations. But almost nothing is known about his life. This edition of Jordanus' Arithmetica - the first Estienne edition - is a fine example of early sixteenth century printing, complete with numerous mathematical diagrams. It comprises Jordanus' work on the theory of numbers, as well as a treatise on music by le Fèvre, an epitome (also by le Fèvre) of Boethius' Arithmetica, and an anonymous tract (attributed to John Shirwood) about the arithmetical game of "Rithmimachia". This Estienne edition was printed from settings similar to those used in the first printed edition of 1496. A rare book - ABPC records only 2 copies in the last 30 years. A small hand stamp on verso of title page, Some very small and marginal wormholes at the beginning and end, but not obtrusive in any way. Two small paper repairs to corners of first two leaves. Some near-contemporary marginalia and the text "Jordani Arithmetica" added in ink to title, Estienne's name inked out on title-page and colophon. Provenance: Harvard College Library. Overall a very nice crisp and clean copy of a rare work. Adams, J324; Renouard Estienne, p. 16. [Attributes: First Edition]

Ouvrage de morale sur le theme des sept peches capitaux, du philosophe et theologien anglais Robert Holcot (c. 1290-1349), dont la premiere edition semble avoir ete publiee a Venise en 1505. "Robert Holkot belonged to the first generation of scholars to absorb and develop the views of William Ockham. He is particularly known for his "covenantal theology" and his views on human freedom within the framework of a divine command ethics. He developed an original theology grounded in Ockham's logic and metaphysics, and his works were influential into the sixteenth century". (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). Holkot etait lie d'amitie avec Richard de Bury, l'auteur du "Philobiblon", le celebre traite de l'amour des livres, et la tradition affirme qu'il participa a sa redaction. Par ailleurs un autre ouvrage de morale de Holcot, est considere comme source d'une des histoires de Chaucer (" Nun's Priest's Tale"). L'Å“uvre de Robert Holcot a fait l'objet de plusieurs reimpressions et etudes modernes. Titre aux encres rouge et noire. Caracteres gothiques, texte a deux colonnes. Bel exemplaire de ce rare volume.

LUCIANUS/NACHTIGALL, Ottmar (a.k.a. LUSCINIUS), tr. & ed
Deorvm dialogi numero. 70. una cum interpretatione e regione Latina: nus[quam] antea impressi
      Rare first edition of the Strasbourg humanist Ottmar Nachtigall's edition and parallel Latin translation of Lucian's satirical Dialogues of the Gods. The ancient's cynicism and common sense found a wide audience among Northern European humanists in the intellectual orbit of Erasmus. A member of the circle of Strasbourg humanists which included Jakob Sturm, Nikolaus Gerbel, Thomas Vogler, his teacher Jakob Wimpfeling and Sebastian Brant, Nachtigall is credited with introducing the formal teaching of Greek to the city of Strasbourg. In this capacity he prepared a number of Greek grammars and Greek texts, including an edition of the Palatine Anthology. He met Erasmus during the humanist's visit to Strasbourg in 1514; Erasmus is duly saluted in the present work's preface (a1v), though relations between the two men later underwent some strain when they lived in the same house in Basel (see Contemporaries of Erasmus III.3). Nachtigall is also known for a popular defense of humanistic studies, Grunnius sophista and original works of music theory, and his career warrants study as a Northern humanist sympathetic to church reform who nonetheless remained a Catholic.

(avec le titre) + 352 feuillets + 8 ffnc.; et pour l'ouvrage d'Agricola : 4 ffnc. + 39 ff. + 1 fnc., peau de truie estampee sur ais de bois, dos a nerfs, traces de fermoirs; au dos : piece de titre manuscrite ancienne, sur papier contrecolle, et cote ancienne de bibliotheque peinte (reliure de l'epoque frottee mais solide, travaux de vers sur les plats). Belle edition de ce commentaire de Guillaume de Paris, appele aussi Guillaume d'Auvergne (philosophe et prelat francais ne a Aurillac vers la fin du XIIe siecle, mort archeveque de Paris en 1248 ou 1249) sur les Evangiles et les Lettres des Apotres. Ce texte eut un grand nombre d'editions au XVe et au XVIe s. Guillaume de Paris est considere comme l'un des theologiens scolastiques et des philosophes les plus eclaires de son temps. D'une grande erudition, il avait etudie avec soin les anciens philosophes, y compris ceux de l'Ecole d'Alexandrie. Beau tirage des gravures sur bois d'Urs Graf, artiste suisse celebre, l'un des meilleurs graveurs de son temps. Les petites figures (154 pour le premier texte, 20 pour le deuxieme) portent presque toutes son monogramme. La page de titre du premier texte, imprimee en deux couleurs, est illustree d'un grand bois d'encadrement d'Urs Graf, repris pour le titre du texte d'Agricola (mais cette fois a la date de 1513). On trouve egalement un grand bois grave au verso du 4eme feuillet, figurant les quatre evangelistes (symbolises par le lion, pour Marc, l'homme, pour Matthieu, l'aigle, pour Jean, et le taureau pour Luc), Pierre, Paul, Jacques et Daniel se presentant en tenant des livres ouvertes devant eux sur lesquels ont decouvre leur identite; il est interessant de noter que 4 des personnages representes tiennent en main ce qui semblerait etre un "hornbook". Ce bois grave est repris pour le faux-titre du texte d'Agricola. Le texte imprime en gothique est entoure de la glose de Guillaume de Paris en caracteres gothiques d'un corps plus petit. Provenances : Couvent des Dominicains du Luxembourg, ex-libris manuscrit date 93 (tres probablement 1593), Johannes Hoffer (ex-libris manuscrit ancien), Nicolaus Saxxen alias Luxembourgensis (ex-libris manuscrit date de 1652), cachet de bibliotheque sur la page de titre. Bon exemplaire malgre les traces du temps signalees a la reliure, quelques traces de mouillures, notamment sur les premiers feuillets, et quelques galeries de vers. 1514

      [Nurenberg: Hieronimus Holtzel, 1514]. [Nurenberg: Hieronimus Holtzel, 1514].. 6 leaves. Title with large woodcut vignette. Small quarto. Old flexible vellum. Overall a very good copy. First German edition. A remarkable account of the battle of Chaldiran between the Turkish Sultan Selim I. (1465-1520) and the Persian Shah Ismail I. (1487-1524), which was won by the Turks. Selim usurped the throne from his father, Bayezid II, in 1512 and eliminated all potential pretenders to the throne. In a number of military campaigns he defeated the Mamluk Sultanate and annexed Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. He extended Ottoman power to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, claiming the position of "Guardian of the Faithful," a title that had hitherto been held by Shah Ismail. During his rule, Selim more than doubled the size of the Ottoman empire. According to Gollner, the present German translation appears to be based on an Italian original. News of the Persian defeat reached Germany in a remarkably short time. Two other editions (one in Latin, one in German) were issued in Augsburg in the same year. Only two copies are located on OCLC. Gollner: TURCICA I:67. VD16, V-2594. Panzer: ANNALEN DER ALTEREN DEUTSCHEN LITERATUR 796.

Johanne Froben
1514 Johanne Froben Latin Bible: "Biblia, Cum Peno Apparatu Summariorum Concordantiarum et Quadruplici.
      Johanne Froben, Basel, Switzerland 1514 - Title: Bible, Latin: "Biblia, cum pleno apparatu summariorum concordantiarum et quadruplici repertori." Publisher: Johanne Froben, Basel. Froben was a historic Renaissance printer who also printed numerous works of Erasmus, including Erasmus' 1519 Novum Testamentum, which became the basis for Martin Luther's translation of the Bible into German for the common people of his culture. Year: 1514 Edition: Masterpiece work of typography; post-incunabula. Size: 9 x 13.5" (Folio) Collation: 14 leaves + 351 leaves + 28 leaves forming 986 pages. Complete. Binding: Original pigskin binding, large repair to front cover, clasps missing, but all intact. Inscriptions: A few instances of antique handwriting occur; no apparent family history Description/Contents: Pages printed on heavy paper with dark ink, accented with woodcut engravings (see below). Title with verso beginning small section of introductory notes. Three sections of tables follow. "Tabula alphabetica historiarum" follows the Tables. Followed by General Divisions of the Bible. Scriptural text follows, with prologues to each book. Apocryphal books are included but not grouped together (interspersed with Old Testament Books). Leaves (e.g., not pages) are numbed (Fo. 1, etc.) throughout the text of Scripture, but not the pre- or post- Scriptural text materials. Last numbered leaf is 351, which is then followed by a brief index and what appears to be Interpretation of Hebrew Names, numerous leaves, but apparently complete. Other features of this Bible include some printed marginal references and a several page chart between the Old and New Testaments, each titled "Canon" with successive numbers 1-10. Engravings: Decorative and illustrative woodcut border on title leaf. Initial decorative woodcut letters appear to open each book. Additional woodcut, depicting someone reading the Hebrew Bible in the temple, adds visual interest to this Bible. This woodcut also has decorative accents borders to each side. Condition: Binding of text block generally secure; one weakened spot noted behind the third table, but no leaves are detached. A number of leaves have small wormholes, but these are generally found in the margins where present. Some do cover text, and result in the loss of a few letters, but not severe. Occasional colored pencil notes, modern, but not extensive. Occasional small spots found at a brief perusal (foxing, smudging, soiling, staining) but most pages are generally clean and white. Last few leaves have brown staining, covering but not obscuring all text. Additional Reference: British Library: General Reference Collection; 3020.f.6. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

[San Pedro Diego Fernandez De]
Carcer d’amore traducto dal magnifico Miser Lelio de Manfredi ferrarese: de idioma spagnolo in lingua materna, [in fine:] Venezia, [G. De Rusconi?], 1515.
      8° (mm 153x104); cc. (46). Al frontespizio, bellissima silografia raffigurante un erudito nel suo studiolo (vedi sotto). Testo in carattere romano, diposto su due colonne. Piccoli capilettera silografici. Marocchino nero giansenista: titolo al dorso, dentelles interne e taglî in oro. Bell’esemplare. Rarissimo volgarizzamento – verosimilmente coniato sulla prima traduzione italiana dell’anno precedente (Venezia, Zorzi di Rusconi, 1514) – «di questo celebre romanzo, tra i capolavori della letteratura spagnola; e pubblicato per la prima volta a Siviglia nel 1492. Esso apre l’interpretazione delle posteriori raffigurazioni letterarie in materia d’amore: influì sulla Celestina, sull’Amadigi di Gaula, sulla Diana, sulla Galatea e sugli episodi sentimentali del Don Chisciotte» (C.A. Chiesa, Libri italiani rari del Rinascimento, 187 – altra edizione). La silografia del frontespizio è la medesima – raffigurante l’”Unico Aretino”, ovvero Bernardo Accolti – dell’edizione veneziana della sua Opera nova (N. Zoppino-V. Polo, 12-iii-1515 (U. Rozzo, Lo studiolo nella silografia italiana (1479-1558), Udine 1998, pp. 74-75). Palau, 293382; Essling, 1885; Sander, 6728.

Memento practico Contable 2009
      2008 - En el Memento Contable 2009 realiza el análisis más amplio y riguroso de toda la contabilidad. Lejos de ofrecerle un simple estudio de cada cuenta, en él se analizan los diferentes aspectos relacionados con la contabilidad que deben tenerse en cuenta para tomar decisiones con seguridad: regímenes especiales, planes sectoriales, aspectos fiscales, auditoría, infracciones y sanciones, figuras mercantiles, valoración de empresas, Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad, etc. Tras la entrada en vigor del nuevo Plan General Contable, esta nueva edición 2009 del Memento Contable adapta su estudio a la nueva realidad, cambiando en parte su sumario, añadiendo numerosos ejemplos prácticos a lo largo de toda la obra, e introduciendo nuevos capítulos como el relativo a otras formas societarias y de cooperación. Además del análisis del nuevo PGC (RD 1514/2007), se estudia también el Plan General Contable de las pequeñas y medianas empresas y los criterios contables específicos para microempresas (RD 1515/2007). El Memento Contable le ofrece nuevos contenidos y un análisis más exhaustivo de cuestiones contables de gran interés para el experto, como la reforma mercantil en materia contable o el nuevo Reglamento de la CE en materia de NIIF/NIC. Además, la obra incorpora nueva doctrina, nuevas resoluciones del ICAC, de especial interés práctico para la aplicación del nuevo Plan General Contable y relevantes sentencias relacionadas con el ámbito contable. 0 págs.

SIGISMUND I., König von Polen (1467-1548) - DIE SCHLACHT
vo[n] dem Kunig von Poln. vn[d] mit dem Moscowiter gescheen am tag Marie gepurt. M.CCCCC.Xiiij.
      Kl.-4to. Mit fast ganzseitigem Titelholzschnitt. [3] S. Flexibler Pergamentband. (Nürnberg, Jobst Gutknecht, 1514). Erstausgabe. Äusserst seltener, mit grossem Titelholzschnitt illustrierter zeitgenössischer Bericht über die Schlacht bei Orscha am 8. September 1514. Die Kräfte Polen-Litauens standen unter dem Kommando des Grosshetmans von Litauen, Konstanty Ostrogski, jene Moskowiens unter dem Befehl des Konjuschis von Moskowien, Iwan Tscheljadin und Knjas Michael Goliza. Die viel kleinere polnisch-litauische Armee besiegte die Streitkräfte des russisch-moskowitischen Grossfürsten und stoppte vorerst dessen Expansionsdrang. König Sigismund I. von Polen versuchte in der Folge, so viel Nutzen wie möglich aus dem Sieg zu erzielen. Im folgenden Jahr schloss er ein Heirats- und somit auch Regierungsbündnis mit Kaiser Maximilian von Habsburg. Der Kaiser erkannte die Thorner Friendesbestimmung von 1466 an und verzichtete darauf, Polen-Litauen zusammen mit dem Grossfürsten von Moskau anzugreifen. Der prachtvolle, noch ganz im Stil der Illustrationen in mittelalterlichen Chroniken gehaltene Holzschnitt wurde später noch in anderen Drucken des seit 1514 in Nürberg wirkenden Druckerverlegers Jobst Gutknecht verwendet. Die vorliegende Flugschrift zählt zu den allerersten Drucken dieser Offizin, aus der bis 1542 über 350 Druckwerke nachgewiesen werden. - Unbedeutender Braunfleck im Aussensteg. VD 16, S-2936 (3 Exx.; BSB München, HAB Wolfenbüttel und OeNB Wien); Weller, Repertorium, 851; Schottenloher, Flugblatt und Zeitung, Abb. S. 159; First edition. Exceedingly scarce contemporary German account on the battle of Orsha, finely illustrated with a large title woodcut. The Battle of Orsha took place September 8, 1514, between the forces of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Kingdom of Poland, under the command of Hetman Konstanty Ostrogski, and the army of Grand Duchy of Moscow under Konyushy, Ivan Chelyadnin and Kniaz (Prince) Mikhail Golitsa. The Battle of Orsha - one of the biggest battles of 16th-century Europe - was part of a long chain of the Russo-Lithuanian Wars conducted by Russian rulers striving to gather all the Old Ruthenian lands under their rule. Due to the spectacular proportions of the defeat, information about the Battle of Orsha was suppressed in Muscovite chronicles. King Sigismund I of Poland on the other hand sought to gain as much political advantage as possible from his victory. Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor was impressed by the scope of the Polish-Lithuanian victory and started peace negotiations with Jagiellons in Vienna in 1515. The finely executed large woodcut was reissued later by the Nuremberg printer Jobst Gutknecht who started business in 1514. Until his death in 1542 over 350 titles left his press. - Minor brown stain in outer margin. - Flexible old vellum.

Passio domini nostri Iesu Christi secundum seriem quattuor evangelistarum: per fratrem Danielem agricolam ordinis minorum de observantia: accuratissima opera devotissimaque expositione illustrata: magnorunque virorum sententijs compte adornata
      Adam Petri de Langendorff, Basilea 1514 - frontespizio illustrato e 20 illustrazioni xilografiche di Urs Graf (Solothurn, Svizzera ca. 1485 - Basel ca. 1527). Il nome dell'artista si evince dal frontespizio e da alcune xilografie dove si trova inciso il suo monogramma. Le ultime cinque pagine costituiscono l'indice "Directorium in indice passionis articulos", con proprio frontespizio, con titolo inquadrato in una cornice decorata anch'essa firmata con monogramma di Urs Graf. Questo indice fu pubblicato separatamente nel 1513. Testo in gotico, con differenti grandezze e disposizione dei caratteri. Le xilografie illustrano con semplicità e immediatezza espressiva la passione di Cristo. Daniele Agricola francescano, membro del convento di Basel fu teologo di impronta umanista, sacerdote e poeta, impegnato nella polemica contro il luteranesimo. Questa "Passio domini." è la sua opera principale. La prima edizione sembra sia del 1509 (Basilea, A. Petri de Langendorff), illustrata da Urs Graf, a cui segue una ristampa con l'indice nel 1511. Un'altra edizione esce nel 1512 (Basilea, J. Frobenii) in sole 36 carte. Nel 1513 viene pubblicato l'indice con il frontespizio di Urs Graf e una nuova ristampa del libro con l'indice in appendice. Post-incunabolo in ottimo stato di conservazione, con lievissime arrossature ai margini. Probabile quarta edizione, a cui è unita la prima edizione dell'indice.

      8° (mm 153x104); cc. (46). Al frontespizio, bellissima silografia raffigurante un erudito nel suo studiolo (vedi sotto). Testo in carattere romano, diposto su due colonne. Piccoli capilettera silografici. Marocchino nero giansenista: titolo al dorso, dentelles interne e taglî in oro. Bell’esemplare. Rarissimo volgarizzamento – verosimilmente coniato sulla prima traduzione italiana dell’anno precedente (Venezia, Zorzi di Rusconi, 1514) – «di questo celebre romanzo, tra i capolavori della letteratura spagnola; e pubblicato per la prima volta a Siviglia nel 1492. Esso apre l’interpretazione delle posteriori raffigurazioni letterarie in materia d’amore: influì sulla Celestina, sull’Amadigi di Gaula, sulla Diana, sulla Galatea e sugli episodi sentimentali del Don Chisciotte» (C.A. Chiesa, Libri italiani rari del Rinascimento, 187 – altra edizione).

PLUTARCH.
The most influential Latin edition printed outside Italy Vitae Plutarchi Cheronei post Pyladen Brixianum longe diligentius repositae: cum moiore verioreque indice: necnon cum Aemilii Probi vitis.
      Paris, Jodocus (Josse) Badius Ascensius & Joannes Parvus (Jean Petit), 1514, November 13, preface dated 1 December 1514.. Jodocus (Josse) Badius Ascensius & Joannes Parvus (Jean Petit), Folio. Half blind stamped 16th-century pigskin over the original wooden boards, with two clasps, spine in compartments with title written in ink: 'Plutarchus 35', title also in 16th-century hand on the wood of the front board. Title in splendid Renaissance woodcut border, with coat of arms left blank in the lower borderpiece (Renouard, Encadrement no. 1); in the middle the printer's device of Jodocus Badius Ascensus with the heading 'prelum Ascensianum' printed in red (Renouard, marque 3, ill. vol. 1, p. 43), lettering of the title, as well as certain elements in the border printed in red. Many beautiful woodcut initials in the text. (22), 393, (1 blank) lvs.. Very rare first Latin edition of Plutarch's Vitae paralellae (Lives) by the famous Parisian printer and publisher Josse Badius Ascensius. After the Strassbourg edition of 1470-71 this is the first and by far the most influential Latin edition outside Italy, printed three years before the Greek edition princeps. Much better, as is stated on the title, than the edition by Pylades Brixianus (=Johannes Franciscus Buccardus, 1506), printed in Brescia in 1499.Plutarch's popularity and importance rest primarily on these ' Parallel Lives' - composed ca. 100-120 AD -, which were designed to encourage mutual respect between Greeks and Romans. The lives are presented in pairs, for example: Theseus-Romulus, Demosthenes-Cicero, Alexander the Great-Caesar, etc. There are 22 pairs, and four single biographies of Aratus, Artaxerxes, and the Roman emperors Otho and Galba. By exhibiting noble deeds and characters, they were also to provide patterns of good behavior and moral and ethical values. Plutarch's later influence has been profound, but his reputation faded in the Latin West during the Middle Ages, only to be re-introduced in Renaissance Italy by Byzantine scholars in the 15th century. Italian humanists had already translated Plutarch's work into Latin before 1509 when the Greek editio princeps of the Moralia, the other great work by Plutarch, was published by Aldus Manutius at Venice. The Greek editio princeps of the Vitae appeared at Florence in 1517 and they were printed in 1519 by Aldus. Especially through its translations into Latin - of which this 1514 edition by Badius is undoubtedly the most important - as well as in the vernacular - the famous French translation by Jacques Amyot in 1559, and the English by Sir Thomas North in 1579 - the Lives could gain an enormous impact on Western civilisation by providing later biographers and literary authors an outstanding model. It is very well known for example that authors like Montagne, Corneille, Racine, Rousseau and Schiller heavily drew upon the Lives . This was certainly also the case with Shakespeare for whom the Lives were the main source for his Roman history plays. Julius Caesar, Coriolanus, Anthony and Cleopatra and Timon of Athens, all come, often literally, from the Lives. They have functioned also to a great extent as a model for later rulers like the French king Henry IV, Frederik II of Prussia and even Napoleon. The book is printed in a fine Roman type. Very good copy, with ownerships's entry of Albertus Trechsel (?) in ink on verso front cover, and the bookplate of Ludovicus Romanus IVD on verso of first flyleaf.- (Some contemporary 16th century scholarly annotations, esp. on lvs. 120-126v: the 'Live of Cato'). Renouard, Josse Badius Ascensius , III, p. 175-8 (4 copies, one of which in the Bibl. Arsenal); NUC lists 3 copies, one of which in the Folger Shakespeare Library); not in STC French , and Adams; no copy in the British Library; no copy in BNF.

SAXO.
Danorum regum heroumque historie stilo elegantia Saxone Grammatico natione Sialandica necno Roskildensis ecclesie preposito.
      Paris, Ioducus Badius Ascensius, 1514. Folio. (8),+ 199 blad. Saknar det sista blanka bladet B8. Titel tryckt i rött och svart inom träsnittsram, med tryckt röd kolorering. Enstaka samtida understrykningar och marginalantecknigar i bläck. Enstaka småfläckar, något större på blad 78, återkommande svag fuktrand i yttermarginal, något kraftigare mot slutet. Fin inlaga, med breda marginaler. Nära samtida skinnband över träpärmar, med blindpräglad rygg med upphöjda bind från 1700-talet med senare svart titeletikett, samtida i rutmönster blindpräglade pärmar, spår av spännen. Förstärkning av inre pärmpapper över det samtida. Skada på övre kapitäl och mindre maskhål i pärmarna. Främre snitt med titel textad med bläck. Ägaranteckningar: Georgii Johis nÿcopeij och Nicolai Joannis Smalandij på titelsidan, liksom även Joh. Benzels namnteckning, daterad Stockholm, 1745. Bläckanteckning på frampärmens insida: "Duplette, hämtad ur skåpet e 23.1. der samma edition af boken finnes".

Fint exemplar av den mycket viktiga Parisupplagan av Saxos danska krönika, utgiven av Christiern Pedersen. Första utgåvan och det första tryckta nordiska historieverket överhuvudtaget. Inget komplett manuskript till Saxos 1200-talskrönika finns bevarat, vilket gör Petersens utgåva extra viktig. En ny upplaga trycktes i Basel 1534 och en tredje i Frankfurt 1576. A-editionen (enligt Rosenkilde & Ballhausen) saknar texten "Venundantur in ædibus Ascensianis" på titelbladet, och var troligen tänkt för export. Denna bok utgör första numret i Reinhards utställning Danish Literature på Harvard 1986. Kallad omväxlande för Gesta Danorum och Historica Danica utgör Saxos krönika startskottet för den danska (och nordiska) humanismen. Dess första del behandlar Danmarks äldsta "historia", från Dan till Gorm III med mängder av legender, inte minst den om Hamlet. Den andra för upp den danska historien till 1185, året då han själv påbörjade sin krönika. Saxo var präst i Lund och blev kallad Grammaticus för sina kunskaper i latin. En bok ur Nicolaus Johannis Smolandius bibliotek, det gamla svenska bibliotekshistorieproblemet! Bokägaren Nicolaus Johannis Smolandius dök upp som ett frågetecken vid försäljningen av det Cederhielmska biblioteket på Bjärka-Säby 1878-82, vilket innehöll ett antal böcker med hans proveniens. Enligt en uppgift som verkar härröra från Eichhorn var han huspredikant åt Göran Gyllenstierna (så även hos Carlander). Otto Walde identifierade honom dock i en uppsats från 1926 som hertig Karls sekreterare Nils Jönsson. Denne, som troligen kom från Växjö, skrevs in vid universitetet i Wittenberg 1551. Han trädde sedan först in i hertig Magnus tjänst men övergick senare i hertig Karls, där han tjänade i närmare trettio år. Han tjänstgjorde ofta som sändebud och företog ett flertal utrikes resor, och köpte bl.a. böcker på mässan i Frankfurt. Han dog ca 1605. Som Walde visat var historia ett av hans huvudsakliga intressen och av Saxo ägde han även Vedels danska översättning från 1575. Redan 1721 hade en stor del av hans bibliotek kommit i familjen Cederhielms ägo, men således ej denna bok. I Nyköping, där hertig Karl ofta hade sitt kansli, fanns även Petrus Johannis Ostrogothus, som inhyste Nils Jönsson då denne kom till Nyköping och de blev vänner. Åt honom skänkte Nils Jönsson 1571 en Albert Krantz. Den sålde Petrus Johannis 1591 vidare till en Johannes Georgii, troligen identisk med Johan Göransson Rosenhane (Walde s. 175). Denna Saxo torde dock snarast ha gått från den sistnämndes fader, Jöran Johansson Rosenhane, till Nils Jönsson. Jöran Johansson Rosenhane (1525-1576) var fogde och sedermera ståthållare på Nyköping slott, och stod hertig Carl nära. Han är dock ej omnämnd av Carlander som bokägare, men bör väl rimligen liksom sonen ha haft ett bibliotek. Anteckningarna i boken och understrykningarna är troligen av Smolandius. Benzel är någon av dem som ej tog namnet Benzelstierna, och boken har troligen gått till Matthias Benzelstierna. Dennes stora bibliotek ärvdes av familjen von Engeström och bildade grunden för det von Engeströmska biblioteket, vilket överlämnades till Kungliga biblioteket 1864. En betydlig samling dubbletter sorterades dock ut och överlämnades till donatorns bror.

SAXO GRAMMATICUS.
Danorum Regum heroumque Historie. (Issued by Christiern Pedersen).
      - Paris, Iodocus (Josse) Badius Ascensius, 1514 (on colophon). Small folio. Bound in a very nice Danish Cambridge style-binding (Danish "mirror-binding") from ab. 1720-30 w. five raised bands on richly gilt back. Some scratches and overall wear, but well-preserved. Title-page printed in red w. large woodcut ornamental border and large woodcut depicting a Danish king in front of his army (signed C.P.). Numerous beautiful large and small woodcut initials throughout. Title-page repaired at margin w. very minor loss, none to woodcuts or text on verso; occasional later colouring in red to parts of the woodcuts of the title-page border. Minor browning an waterstaining (mostly marginal) throughout. One leaf (xiii) w. a tear, no loss. Cont. ownership-inscriptions to title-page and colophon. All in all a very nice and handsome copy. 107 ff. + final blank (being a1-(8) - z1-(8) + A1-(8) - B(1-(7) + 1 blank; quire aa bound first, aa1 being the title-page). The seminal first edition of Saxo's "History of Denmark", the edition that preserved the first full history of Denmark for posterity and to this day the most important of all Danish historical publications. The work furthermore contains the first known written narrative of the legend of Hamlet. No complete manuscript of the work has survived, merely a few loose leaves have been preserved, and thus "Pedersen's edition is indeed our only source to Saxo's history" (Thesaurus, 190). "[I]t is this edition that saved Saxo's work, because as mentioned earlier, during the course of time, all manuscripts have disappeared". ([own translation] Carl S. Petersen). The present copy is the A issue without the words "Venundantur in ædibus Ascensius" underneath the woodcut of the Danish King on the title-page; according to Thesaurus, "[p]resumably the B issue was for sale in Paris and the A issue for export". Saxo Grammaticus (ab. 1150-1220) was probably a secular clerk or secretary to Absalon, Archbishop of Lund, the great Danish churchman, statesman and warrior. Saxo is remembered today as the author of the first full history of Denmark, in which he modelled himself on the classical authors (e.g. Virgil, Plato, Cicero) in order to glorify his fatherland. The work dates from the end of the 12th century and was edited by Christiern Pedersen, a Canon of Lund, and printed by Jodocus Badius Ascendius in Paris in 1514 (the present copy) with 16th century re-issues following in 1534 (Basel) and 1576 (Frankfurt). Only with the first printing of this seminal work did the work become known throughout academic circles. The work soon received international fame and is to this day renowned as not only being immensely important historically, but also being extremely well written (Saxo is praised by Erasmus, for instance, for possessing great power of eloquence). The work consists of sixteen books that cover the time from the founders of the Danish people (Dan I of Denmark) till Saxo's own time, ending around 1185 (with the submission of Pomerania), when the last part is supposedly written. The work thus covers the entire history of Denmark until Saxo's own time, seen under a somewhat glorified perspective, from heathen times with tales of Odin and the gods of Valhalla to the times of Absalon, who probably directly influenced the sections on the history of his own time, working closely with Saxo himself. Apart from that, the work contains the first known written narration of the legend of Hamlet (Amleth, the son who took revenge for his murdered father). It is most likely this narrative of Saxo's, which he based on an oral tale, that forms the basis for Shakespeare's "Hamlet", which takes place in Helsinore in Denmark. There is fairly certain evidence that Shakespeare knew Saxo's work on the History of Denmark and thus the legend of Amleth.Laur.Nielsen 240. - Thesaurus 190. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Palacios Rubio, Juan López de (1450-1524).
Libellus de beneficiis in curia vacantibus.
      Juan Varela de Salamanca, 1514, 13 de abril, Sevilla: - 12 hojas. Encuadernación de la época con el lomo y planos parcialmente rehechos. Una sombra de humedad en la primera hoja y alguna suciedad difusa. Norton 960. Martín Abad 957. Palau 141664. Primera edición.Juan López de Palacios Rubios (Palacios Rubios, 1450 - 1524) fue un jurista español cuyo verdadero nombre es el de Juan López de Vivero. Es el redactor del famoso "Requerimiento" que lleva su nombre, leído durante la Conquista de América a los indígenas, conminándoles a someterse pacíficamente. En el texto se les informaba a los nativos que eran vasallos del monarca castellano y súbditos del papa y, en el caso de que opusiesen resistencia se les anunciaba que serían sometidos por la fuerza y convertidos en esclavos.Estudió en su ciudad natal y llegó a ser catedrático de la Universidad de Salamanca. En 1494 se le concedió la cátedra de prima de cánones en la Universidad de Valladolid, mientras ejercía funciones judiciales en la chancillería de la misma ciudad. Más adelante seguiría la carrera administrativa y alcanzaría los cargos de miembro del Consejo Real y presidente del Real Consejo de la Mesta (fundado en 1273 por Alfonso X el Sabio). Miembro del Consejo de Castilla desde 1504, por nombramiento de los Reyes Católicos, fue uno de los redactores de las Leyes de Toro (promulgadas en 1505), siendo uno de los principales defensores de la cuestión de los Justos Títulos del dominio de Castilla sobre las Indias. En concreto, en su obra Libellus de insulis oceanis hace un concienzudo razonamiento jurídico sobre la legitimidad de la soberanía castellana de los territorios americanos.Nombrado miembro del Consejo real fue enviado como embajador a Roma, donde escribió el Libellus de beneficiis in curia vacantibus, en defensa de la prerrogativa que tenía la Corona de nombrar los miembros de la jerarquía eclesiástica en las curias de su territorio. Tema éste de vital importancia al entrar ahora en juego los nuevos territorios americanos bajo gobierno español. Es interesante anotar que en esta obra Isabel y Fernando están considerados "hispaniarum utriusque sicilie, hierusalem, et insularum maris oceani rex et regina" (folio a2r) y que la extensión de su jurisdicción a la zona del Nuevo Mundo se da por sentada. El texto fue encargado por la reina Isabel la Católica, de quien el autor hace un retrato encomiástico, toda vez que en el momento de la publicación ya había muerto, en la dedicatoria dirigida a su esposo Fernando de Aragón. Entre sus obras también se pueden encontrar escritos de carácter militar, entre los que destaca el Tratado del esfuerzo bélico heroico (Salamanca, 1524), la única obra que escribió en castellano con un marcado carácter político.

PALUDANUS, PETRUS [DE PALUDE, PETER], O.P. (C.1275-1342)
Exactissimi...doctoris Petri de Palude... Quartus sententiarum liber a F. Vincentio de Haerlem
      Paris, Claudio Chevallon, 1514. [BOUND WITH:] ECKIUS, JOANNES [ECK, JOHANN] (1486-1543). Homiliarii Eckiani adversus sectas, ab ipso auctore denuo recogniti, tomus quartus de septem sacramentis ecclesiae catholicae.. (Ingolstadt: G. Krapfius, 1536). Two fine post-incunabula theological works bound together in a single volume. Large 8vo (28 x 21cm). The first work is printed in Gothic font, the second in Roman. Collation for the first work is as follows: engraved title-page + [ii] + index (13pp) + 244ll. Collation for the second work is: engraved title-page + [vii] + 144ll. + colophon. Wood-cut initials throughout both works. A lovely engraved tree of sanguinity in the first work, several fine wood-cut illustrations in the second work. Bound in contemporary blind-tooled calf, lacking clasps, newly rebacked leather spine with label, four raised bands. A beautiful specimen of early printing. Placed in a specially made folding cover and slipcase, both of black cloth, the slipcase having a gilt morocco label to its spine. Paludanus, or Petrus de Palude, was a Dominican friar and eventually made Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. He was also a theological adviser on the board at the University of Paris which studied the question of the Beatific vision of the souls of the just immediately after death, a debate which was opened by Pope John XXII's assertions to the contrary. Johann Eckius (also Eck) was among the most learned humanists and theologians of the Catholic Church during the time of the Reformation. He was also Martin Luther's most vigorous and able opponent, and spent much of his life in controversy with Protestants.

      Adam Petri de Langendorff, Basilea 1514 - frontespizio illustrato e 20 illustrazioni xilografiche di Urs Graf (Solothurn, Svizzera ca. 1485 - Basel ca. 1527). Il nome dell'artista si evince dal frontespizio e da alcune xilografie dove si trova inciso il suo monogramma. Le ultime cinque pagine costituiscono l'indice "Directorium in indice passionis articulos", con proprio frontespizio, con titolo inquadrato in una cornice decorata anch'essa firmata con monogramma di Urs Graf. Questo indice fu pubblicato separatamente nel 1513. Testo in gotico, con differenti grandezze e disposizione dei caratteri. Le xilografie illustrano con semplicità e immediatezza espressiva la passione di Cristo. Daniele Agricola francescano, membro del convento di Basel fu teologo di impronta umanista, sacerdote e poeta, impegnato nella polemica contro il luteranesimo. Questa "Passio domini." è la sua opera principale. La prima edizione sembra sia del 1509 (Basilea, A. Petri de Langendorff), illustrata da Urs Graf, a cui segue una ristampa con l'indice nel 1511. Un'altra edizione esce nel 1512 (Basilea, J. Frobenii) in sole 36 carte. Nel 1513 viene pubblicato l'indice con il frontespizio di Urs Graf e una nuova ristampa del libro con l'indice in appendice.

Bulla reformationis s.d.n. domini Leonis X pont. max. Sacro approbante Concilio edita. Lecta in nona sessione per reueren. patrem dominum archiepiscopum Neapolitan., in sacrosancta Lateranen. basilica solemniter celebrata.
      s. l. s. e. (1514) - Placchetta in 16° (cm 10 x 14), copertina ricavata da Exultet o Salterio settecentesco, in rosso e nero, cc (8), senza paginazione, stemma di papa Medici al frontespizio, esemplare in buone condizioni, carta brunita, parzialmente in barbe. Il volumetto contiene il testo, impresso in caratteri gotici, relativo alla necessità della riforma della Chiesa "in capitis et membris". Questa seconda parte del programma ebbe attuazione alla IX sessione del concilio, nel maggio del 1514, quando venne promulgata una bolla in cui si prescriveva la correzione dei principali abusi vigenti nella Curia romana. Ad essa è collegata, l'anno successivo, una bolla di riforma delle strutture del governo della diocesi. Leone, accogliendo le querele che si moltiplicavano contro la Corte di Roma, istituì una commissione incaricata di vagliare i rimedi possibili (il testo della relazione in W. von Hofmann, II, pp 240-48). Le proposte della commissione si tradussero nelle prescrizioni contenute in questa bolla di riforma. Anche questa, come tutte le disposizioni conciliari emanate fra 1513 e 1515, che avrebbero dovuto segnare una svolta nella storia della Chiesa romana, rimasero lettera morta, a causa della paralisi di cui la monarchia pontificia diede prova. Forse un esemplare censito in Edit 16, che cita edizioni in 4°, ma non in 16°, ad opera dell'impressore Silber. "Enciclopedia dei Papi", Treccani 2000.

Nessuno degli obiettivi fu raggiunto e il Concilio falli' totalmente, creando le premesse dell'instaurarsi della Riforma (cfr. J.C.

Arithmetica decem libris demonstrata. Musica libri demostrata quator. Epitome in Libros Arithmeticos diui Seuerini Boetij. Rithmimachie ludus qui et pugna numuroru appellatur
      Paris, H. Estienne, (7 Sept. 1514). 4to (27.3 x 19.2 cm), printed in Gothic type. Title set within woodcut border, full-page woodcut on one page and small woodcut illustrations and diagrams throughout. Many decorative initials. Expertly executed new calf binding in period style. *Historians of mediaeval mathematics agree that Jordanus de Nemore (1225-1260) was one of the most important writers on mathematics in Europe. He was, for example, among the first to use letters to replace numbers in algebraic calculations. But almost nothing is known about his life. This edition of Jordanus' Arithmetica - the first Estienne edition - is a fine example of early sixteenth century printing, complete with numerous mathematical diagrams. It comprises Jordanus' work on the theory of numbers, as well as a treatise on music by le Fevre, an epitome (also by le Fevre) of Boethius' Arithmetica, and an anonymous tract (attributed to John Shirwood) about the arithmetical game of "Rithmimachia". This Estienne edition was printed from settings similar to those used in the first printed edition of 1496. A rare book - ABPC records only 2 copies in the last 30 years. A small hand stamp on verso of title page, Some very small and marginal wormholes at the beginning and end, but not obtrusive in any way. Two small paper repairs to corners of first two leaves. Some near-contemporary marginalia and the text "Jordani Arithmetica" added in ink to title, Estienne's name inked out on title-page and colophon. Provenance: Harvard College Library. Overall a very nice crisp and clean copy of a rare work. Adams, J324; Renouard Estienne, p. 16.

AGRICOLA, DANIEL (DANIEL MEYER).
PASSIO DOMINI NOSTRI JESU CHRISTI SECUNDUM SERIEM QUATTORUM EVANGELISTARUM: PER FRATREM DANIELEM AGRICOLAM ORDINIS MINORUM DE OBSERVANTIA: ACCURATISSIMA OPERA DEVOTISSIMAQUE EXPOSITIONE ILLUSTRATA: MAGNORUMQUE VIRORUM SENTENTIJS COMPTE ADORNATA. BASEL, ADAM PETRI DE LANGENDORFF, 31 JULY 1514.
      4to. Modern light-brown gilt-marbled calf, spine ribbed, with 2 black title-labels. With almost full-page woodcut(121 x 93 mm) on title, showing Mary with the Child, Christ preaching in the midst of three saints and a procession with a town on the background; the scene is framed by the emblematic representation of the four evangelists, each holding an open book, and four biblical figures each holding an horn-book with their name: Daniel vir desideriorum, Petrus princeps apostolorum, Jacob frater Donini, and Paulus doctor gentium, signed by Urs Graf with his monogram and dated 1514; the text is illustrated with 20 small woodcuts in text (ca. 45 x 35 mm), illustrating Christ's Passion, also by Urs Graf. 40 lvs. Rare and well produced Gospel Harmony, concentrated on the Passion of Christ, and beautifully illustrated by Urs Graf. The book is beautifully printed in a fine 'lettre batarde' in various sizes, with the extensive notes arranged all around Agricola's text, and with legenda in the margins. The simple but expressive woodcuts by Urs Graf charmingly illustrate the sequence of events which led to the crucifixion of Jesus as told by the four evangelists. Our edition is possibly the fourth. The first edition was published in 1509, also by Adam Petri (further edd. 1511, 1513, 1516, 1518, 1519 and 1520). Sometimes five leaves of the Directorium in indice passionis articulos, with a separate title and imprint are added.The Franciscan theologist, preacher and poet Daniel Agricola (or Daniel Meyer; 1490 - 1540) lived in Basel and Kreuznach. He is known mainly for the present work and for the Vita Sancti Beati published in Basel in 1511. Not much of his life his known. Urs Graf (Solothurn, Switzerland, about 1485 - Basel, about 1528) was the most important artist of the early renaissance from German speaking Switzerland. He was active in Basel and Zurich from about 1507 until his mysterious disappearance from Basel in 1527. Graf was a member of the Goldsmiths Guild, a die-cutter, woodblock book illustrator, stain glass designer and painter, engraver, and a mercenary who periodically escaped his artisan life for military adventures in Italy. He produced the world's first etching print in 1513 and pioneered the white-line woodblock technique. Graf almost always signed his drawings and was certainly influenced by his famous contemporary, Albrecht Duerer, but overall he pursued his own style; see Passavant,Le peintre-graveur III, p. 428 (n. 85-104); about Urs Graf's work see also: Luethi, Urs Graf und die Kunst der alten Schweizer ( Zuerich 1928).

Paludanus, or Petrus de Palude, was a Dominican friar and eventually made Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. He was also a theological adviser on the board at the University of Paris which studied the question of the Beatific vision of the souls of the just immediately after death, a debate which was opened by Pope John XXII's assertions to the contrary. Johann Eckius (also Eck) was among the most learned humanists and theologians of the Catholic Church during the time of the Reformation. He was also Martin Luther's most vigorous and able opponent, and spent much of his life in controversy with Protestants.
