NILUS OF ANCYRA, St.: PIRCKHEIMER, W. (trans.)
Beatiss. Patris Nili, Episcopi et Martyris theologi antiquiss, Sente[n]tiae morales
|
Fridericus Peypus iterum impressit, Nuremberg 1516 - Modern boards made from the leaf of an incunable 4to . FIRST EDITION of Willibald Pirckheimer's (1470-1530) translation of the Sententiae morales of St. Nilus of Ancyra (c. ca. 430), 5th century abbot and ascetic writer, who was one of the many disciples and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom (cf. New Cath. Enc. X, p. 470). Willibald was one of the greatest German patrons of scholars and artists of the period as well as being a first rate scholar whose writings and translations were highly regarded. He composed the obituary of his lifelong friend and sometime collaborator Albrech Durer in 1528 (cf. Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). He dedicated the present work to his sister Klara who "was no exception to the remarkable level of education and culture for which the female members of the pirckheimer family were famous . Willibald dedicated to her his edition of Nilus' Sententiae mroales (Nuremberg: F. Peypus 1516); in the same year he conveyed Klara's greetings to Erasmus" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). The beautiful woodcut title border was earlier believed to be the work of Albrecht Durer but now attributed to Hans Springinklee (Dodgson I, p. 379; Butsch, plate 32). OCLC Columbia and Harvard [20]. Fine woodcut white on black title border (lightly trimmed at top of border) attributed to Hans Springinklee. Some foxing. § VD16 N1760; BM/STC German 654; Dodgson, German & Flemish woodcuts, I, 379.

Lyons: J. Marion, 1516. * Adams C-1318; BM, French Books, 98; Wellcome I.1424; Thorndike V.111-126; P. Allut, Etude biographique et bibliographique sur Symphorien Champier (1859/1972); not in Baudrier.. First and sole edition of this rare work on the logic of medical analysis and argumentation. The attempt to give a specialized presentation of formal analysis to physicians probably reflects the increase in the number of practitioners literate in Latin, but lacking the extensive experience in logic typical of graduates of !arts! faculties. Well before the era of forensic medicine, skill in argumentation was a comparatively important asset for Renaissance physicians, since disagreements among practitioners of rival medical philosophies were radical and frequent.The work gives a concise introduction to the Aristotelian doctrine of the categories (substance, predicate, etc.), treats the most basic techniques of disputation, and then shows how these techniques are specifically applied in the analysis of selected medical problems, largely passages from Galen. !Command of logic provided the would-be medical student with the major tool of... scientific inquiry. University trained medical authors... habitually used Aristotelian logic to isolate arguments in medical texts for analysis and criticism! (Nancy G. Siraisi, Medieval and Renaissance Medicine, p. 67). Champier (1472-c. 1535) studied medicine at Padua and was personal physician to two kings of France. He was the main force behind the foundation of the school of Medicine in Lyons and a vigorous opponent of occultism in medicine. His many works include !the earliest and best history of medicine in his time! (Garrison, History of Medicine, p. 196). Dumaitre (Histoire de la medecine et du livre medical, p. 195) stresses Champier!s marked interest in the physical production of his books, evident in the typography and design of this distinctive Lyonnais imprint.

There is also the OMisteriO of Giamblico as well as other important works. Ficino (1433-1499), was a personality of extraordinary importance in the 15th century. A celebrated philosopher and humanist, he translated Plato into Latin ca. 1462 at the behest of Cosimo de Medici and provided his still revered commentary. He was raised to the highest levels by the patronage of Lorenzo the Magnificent. His translation of PlatoOs dialogues, completed in 1477 contributed to a humanistic revolution born in the Renaissance. This copy of the Aldine Iamblichus is a rare and beautiful example.

Parisiis per Nicolaum de Pratis 1516 - Date and imprint from colophon, Latin text, small folio, bound mainly in eights, prelims in sixes, 290 x 195 mm, 11¼ x 7¾ inches, wood engraved title page with wide pictorial border and central engraving depicting an elephant, decorated initials throughout, 36 unnumbered pages of prelims, CCLXII leaves numbered on rectos only, signatures AA3 and AA4 in the prelims misnumbered BB3 and BB4, all text present in the correct order and nothing is missing, bound in full modern vellum, raised bands and blind rules to spine, no lettering or label. Title page slightly browned, soiled in the margins, 4 small ink stains, 2 affecting image in border, other light stains including a light brown stain to inner edge, repeated intermittently to a greater or lesser degree throughout the volume, 2 lines of ink notes partially erased or crossed through, first 4 leaves of prelims have small very neat old repairs to lower part of fore-edge, first few leaves of prelims lightly soiled and lightly damp stained in fore-edge margins, damp staining persisting but decreasing to leaf I, some pages lightly age-browned, pale damp staining to a few upper and lower margins, light soiling to a couple of margins, slight brown staining to 2 facing pages, no loss of legibility, single wormhole runs from title page to leaf CIII affecting text, but with no loss of legibility, occasional underlining and early marginal ink notes, mostly very neat, 5 small closed margin tears, 2 others go slightly into text, neatly repaired with no loss, piece torn off lower edge of leaf XIIII with loss of most of lowest 2 lines of text, small hole in 1 lower margin, neatly repaired, small chip to 1 lower margin. Binding tight and firm. A good copy of an early edition of this classic encyclopedic work (2 lines of text lacking on 1 leaf as noted). Gaius Plinius Secundus, the man we know as Pliny the Elder, was born in Como, Italy, in A.D. 23 (not Verona as stated in the title). By the time he died 56 years later, he had been a cavalry officer, an adviser to emperors and the author of at least 75 books, not to mention another 160 volumes of unpublished notebooks. He is remembered today for just one of those works, his 37-volume Naturalis Historia (also known as Historia Mundi), in which he planned to "set forth in detail all the contents of the entire world." Pliny describes in detail the nature of the physical universe: astronomy, mineralogy, geography, meteorology, anthropology, zoology, botany, and the medicinal uses of plants and curatives derived from animals, among a host of other topics. He states that he has covered 20,000 subjects of importance drawn from 100 selected writers, to whose observations he has added many of his own. Botany, agriculture, and horticulture appear to interest him most. For example the fourteenth book consists of 21 chapters on the cultivation of vines and the making and uses of wines plus 1 chapter on avoiding drunkenness. Although dubious as a work of science, Pliny's Historia Naturalis provides a unique glimpse into the world view of ancient Rome. It is a wonderful melange of the real and the fantastic, the never was and the never could be. He wrote of dog-headed people who communicated by barking, and people with no heads at all, their eyes in their shoulders. He wrote of snakes that launch themselves skyward to catch high-flying birds, and of the "basilisk serpent" of Africa, which kills bushes on contact, bursts rocks with its breath and is so venomous that when one was killed by a man on horseback, "the infection rising through the spear killed not only the rider but also the horse." The work became a model for all later encyclopedias in terms of the breadth of subject matter examined, the need to reference original authors, and a comprehensive index list of the contents. The work was dedicated to the emperor Titus, son of Pliny's close friend, the emperor Vespasian, in the first year of Titus' reign. It is the only work by Pliny to have survived, a

Capgrave, John, Et Al. [Wynken De Worde]
[Nova Legenda Angliae] "De Sancto Augustino Episcopo Et Confessore"
|
[Wynkyn de Worde, ], [1516. ]. Small 4to. Single page; leaf xxvi. Some light stains. "Wynkyn de Worde (also Wynken; originally Jan van Wynkyn) (died 1534) was a printer and publisher known for his work with William Caxton, and is recognized as the first to popularize the products of the printing press. De Worde was born in Wœ rth in Alsace; the name by which he is generally known means "Wynkyn of Wœ rth. " Traditionally, he was believed to have accompanied Caxton to England in 1476; more recently, it has been argued that de Worde actually arrived c. 1481, and that Caxton brought him to England to counter the competition of a second printer. (John Lettou set up a press in London in 1480. ) De Worde improved the quality of Caxton's product; he was, in this view, "England's first typographer. " In 1495, following Caxton's death in 1491 and a three-year litigation, de Worde took over Caxton's print shop. De Worde is generally credited for moving English printing away from its late-Medieval beginnings and toward a modern model of functioning. Caxton had depended on noble patrons to sustain his enterprise; while de Worde enjoyed the support of patrons too (principally Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII), he shifted his emphasis to the creation of relatively inexpensive books for a commercial audience and the beginnings of a mass market.

London, Wynkyn de Worde, 5. September 1516 and 22 October 1518. Two works bound in one volume, small 4to (192 x 130mm), ll. 70, A8.4-K4, L6, M4 (Promptorium); ll. 198, A8.4-2K8, 2L6 (Ortus); printer's device to both title-pages, decorated woodcut initials; six small spherical wormholes (up to 2 mm in diameter) at the beginning of the Promptorium reduced to four at the end, the Ortus with larger number of wormholes at the beginning, diminishing to six wormholes at the end; despite the wormholes there is only minimal loss to legibility throughout; the title-page of the Ortus is slightly browned and fragile, with holes in the lower margin; nineteenth-century full calf by Hatton of Manchester, sides with Macclesfield arms in gilt within double blind rules, gilt-lettered red morocco label to spine, marbled endpapers, red edges, extremities a little rubbed, and short split to upper joint; with extensive sixteenth century manuscript annotations in ink, chiefly to the Ortus. Rare early edition of the First English-Latin Dictionary, the Promptuarium Parvulorum, in effect the beginning of English lexicography, and the first Latin-English Dictionary bound together. The Promptuarium Parvulorum, or The Children's Storeroom or Repository was composed by Galfridus, or Geoffrey the Grammarian, an East Anglian monk, around 1440 and first printed by Richard Pynson in 1499. It is of the greatest importance. Here for the first time the primary object was the elucidation of English not of Latin, and thus this can be seen as the beginning of English lexicography. Some 12,000 words are listed, in alphabetical order, with nouns and other parts of speech listed first, followed by verbs. Each 'English' word is 'translated' by one or more Latin words. As is obvious from the list of sources cited, the work is based on extensive research. The Promptuarium is bound here together with the Ortus Vocabulorum, also printed by Wynkyn de Worde, for convenience of use. Even though the two works are sometimes found bound together they were issued separately. The Ortus Vocabulorum, the 'Garden of Words', a Latin-English dictionary, claims in its title to offer its readers 'almost all the things that are in the Catholicon, the Breviloquis, the Cornucopia, the Gemma Vocabulorum and the Medulla grammatice, together with an exposition in the vernacular English'. The Ortus Vocabulorum was first printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1500, and no earlier manuscript is known. 'Several editions of the Promptorium issued from the press of Wynkyn de Worde, in small quarto form; copies in fine condition are scarcely less rare than that printed by Pynson. ...Occasionally the Latin-English dictionary, Ortus Vocabulorum, printed by the same printer and the like form, is found bound up with the Promptorium for the convenience of students'. (Way III xliv-xlv). Born in Alsace, Wynkyn de Worde came to England around 1473 as Caxton's foreman and after Caxton's death in 1491 he took over his press and moved it to Fleet Street, founding the long association between printing and Fleet Street. I. STC 20438; McKerrow 19; II. STC 13834; McKerrow 23; I. all early editions are rare: 1511 (BL, Cambridge, University of Illinois), 1512: Huntington, Folger, and Cambridge; 1516 (this edition): BL, Cambridge, Oxford, John Rylands, Winchester College, Harvard and Huntington. II. numerous editions were published between 1500 and this 1516 edition, all of them are rare.

Capgrave, John, et al. [Wynken de Worde]
[Nova Legenda Angliae] "De sancto Amphibalo martyre
|
[London:]: [Wynkyn de Worde,], [1516.]. Some light stains.. Small 4to.. Wynkyn de Worde (also Wynken; originally Jan van Wynkyn) (died 1534) was a printer and publisher known for his work with William Caxton, and is recognized as the first to popularize the products of the printing press. De Worde was born in WIrth in Alsace; the name by which he is generally known means "Wynkyn of WIrth." Traditionally, he was believed to have accompanied Caxton to England in 1476; more recently, it has been argued that de Worde actually arrived c. 1481, and that Caxton brought him to England to counter the competition of a second printer. (John Lettou set up a press in London in 1480.) De Worde improved the quality of Caxton's product; he was, in this view, "England's first typographer." In 1495, following Caxton's death in 1491 and a three-year litigation, de Worde took over Caxton's print shop.De Worde is generally credited for moving English printing away from its late-Medieval beginnings and toward a modern model of functioning. Caxton had depended on noble patrons to sustain his enterprise; while de Worde enjoyed the support of patrons too (principally Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII), he shifted his emphasis to the creation of relatively inexpensive books for a commercial audience and the beginnings of a mass market."{wkpd] STC 4601.

Fridericus Peypus iterum impressit Nuremberg 1516 Modern boards made from the leaf of an incunable 4to . FIRST EDITION of Willibald Pirckheimer's (1470-1530) translation of the Sententiae morales of St. Nilus of Ancyra (c. ca. 430), 5th century abbot and ascetic writer, who was one of the many disciples and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom (cf.. New Cath. Enc. X, p. 470). Willibald was one of the greatest German patrons of scholars and artists of the period as well as being a first rate scholar whose writings and translations were highly regarded. He composed the obituary of his lifelong friend and sometime collaborator Albrech Durer in 1528 (cf. Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). He dedicated the present work to his sister Klara who "was no exception to the remarkable level of education and culture for which the female members of the pirckheimer family were famous ... Willibald dedicated to her his edition of Nilus' Sententiae mroales (Nuremberg: F. Peypus 1516); in the same year he conveyed Klara's greetings to Erasmus" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90).

DIOSCORIDES and Ermalao BARBARO
In hoc voluminae haec continentur. Joannis Baptistae Egnatii Veneti In Dioscoridem ab Hermolao Barbaro tralatum annotamenta, quibus morborum et remediorum vocabulae obscuriora ... explicantur...
|
Venice, Aloysius and Franciscus Barbari, 1516 Folio (316 x 220 mm), ff [36] 134; 106; a fine, crispcopy, with many sheets with their deckle, contemporary annotations throughout, in contemporary limp vellum, remains of ties, blue edges, labelled in ink on spine ëEII Egnatius in Dioscoridem S:V:í with paper shelf label, lettered in ink in caps ëDIOSC. HERMOí on inside of the back cover. £4500 First printing of Barbaroís definitive translation of Dioscorides, accompanied by the first edition of his Corollarii, his commentary on the plants described by Dioscorides. In this work, Barbaro collates classical descriptions of plants and provides his own observations. ëErmolao seems to have been the very first in the history of the revival of botany to have added anything at all of his own to that which had been handed down through the long ages. His is the first pioneer of a new phytography... Barbaro begins to tell things before untold about familiar plants that have been too succinctly written of during fifteen or twenty centuries; a kind of innovation in botany which was of profound important, and one with which Ruel, Valerius Cordus, Tragus, and Conrad Gesner, of a generation later, have been accredited as first pioneersí (Greene, Landmarks in botanical history). Dioscoridesí text, De medicinali materia, was first printed in Latin in 1479 (the original Greek text was not printed until 1499) and was the most highly regarded classical source of botanical knowledge until well into the seventeenth century. However, as Dioscorides was describing, and often very cursorily, an eastern Mediterranean flora, later European botanists and physicians often found it difficult to match their local floras with that in Dioscorides. It is in part to remedy this deficit that Barbaro composed his Corollaries. ëErmolao Barbaro (Hermolaus Barbarus), 1454-1493, the translator, was a Venetian scholar and diplomat prior to his appointment to the Patriarchate of Aquileia. Although the translation is believed to have been made c. 1489, this is the first printed edition. ëAccompanying the translation is the first printed text of Barbaroís Corollarium, in which he attempted to supply students of Dioscorides with all that had been written by Greek and Roman authors on the plants discussed in that workí (Johnston, The Cleveland herbal collection p 25). This edition was edited by Giovanni Battista Egnazios, who wrote the preface to the Corollarii. See Edward Lee Green, Landmarks in botanical history, chapter 13 ëErmolao Barbaro 1454-1493, pp 553-568, for a detailed analysis of Barbaro as a pioneer phytographer in his Corollaries. Provenance: two early inscriptions on title, the first ëAd usum ...?í, the second ëex libris Capucinorum Montii Aviumí; contemporary annotations in a single hand throughout, more extensive in the Corollarii, indexing plants and their medicinal uses, and kinds of preparation.

Geheftet. 4to.Bulle "Pastor aeternus" von Papst Leo X., welche (im Rahmen der 5. Lateransynode) die 1438 vom französischen König Karl VII. unterzeichnete Pragmatische Sanktion von Bourges verwarf. Diese hatte die pontifikale Macht in Frankreich begrenzt und auf eine französische Nationalkirche abgezielt. Trotz der 1461 erfolgten schriftlichen Versicherung König Ludwigs XI. gegenüber Papst Pius II., er habe die Pragmatische Sanktion "im ganzen Reich und in der Dauphiné" abrogiert, blieb sie dem Geiste nach in Kraft 1463 und 1464 erließ er "eine Reihe von Ordonanzen 'zur Abwehr der röm. Übergriffe u. Herstellung der alten gallikan. Freiheiten'. 1567 hob er sie abermals auf, fuhr aber fort, ganz im Sinne der Pragmatischen Sanktion zu handeln" (LThK VIII, 425). Nachdem die Bischofsversammlung zu Rom 1510 auf Wunsch Ludwigs XII. erklärte, man habe sich an die Pragmatische Sanktion zu halten, verwarf das 5. Laterankonzil dieselbe: am 18. August 1516 wurde sie von Franz I. durch das Konkordat von Bologna ersetzt. Die einige Monate später in der 11. Sitzung der Synode erlassene Bulle besiegelte die Abrogation. Datiert "Millesimo quingentesimo sextodecimo Quartodecimo Kal. Ianuar.", also am 19. Dez. 1516, und wohl noch im selben Jahr gedruckt. - Winziger Wasserrand Titel mit kl. Papierdurchbruch in der Holzschnittbordüre (etwas Buchstabenberührung verso). Die Wappenvignette von zeitgenöss. Hand mit roter Tinte eingerahmt.

Joannis Francisci Pici Mirandulae Domini, Et Concordiae Comitis (Giovanni Francesco Pico, Della Mirandola, Count Of Concordia)
De Amore Divino. Libri Quattuoz. (on Divine Love, in Four Books)
|
Jacobum Mazochium (Giacomo Mazzocchi), November 26, 1516. Very Good Dampstaining to upper page corner with scattered foxing, inscription to title page ( jo: Delphini). Lower page corner 51-52 perished, unrepaired tear in pages 105-06. sewn, spine ribbed, not bound. Decorative woodcut border on title-page. Title and dedication pages followed by 106 pages of Latin text. Listed as the first edition in Pichiana: Bibliografia delle edizioni e degli studi, ed. Leonardo Quaquarelli and Zita Zanardi (Florence: Leo S. Olschski, 2005) page 243-44. Located only in the libraries of Harvard, Princeton, Duke and the University of San Francisco. The Pico della Mirandola were hereditary lords of the Mirandola, a small province in the region of Emilia-Romagna near Ferrara in northern Italy, which they ruled as independent sovereigns. The family were allied to the Kings of France until they lost their province to Louis IV's rival, the Holy Roman Emperor, in 1708 (thus adding some interest to the inscription on this work. ) The elder of the Pici, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, like his nephew Giovanni Francesco, was an Italian humanist philosopher enjoying the patronage of the Medici. They were each tutors to the Medici, the elder in fact was the tutor of Lorenzo the Magnificent's son who became Pope Leo X, to whom the present work is dedicated. And under whom Giacomo Mazzocchi held the papal printing privilege. Mazzocchi had previously published a letter on the sculptures in the Cortile del Belvedere by Giovanni Francesco Pico Della Mirandola in 1513. All concerned came to untimely ends. The elder Pico della Mirandola was murdered, most likely on the orders of the Medici. Mazzocchi disappeared during the Sack of Rome in 1527, an attack carried out by the mutinous troops of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V in his war with the French, Italian and Papal alliance. Finally, in 1533 Giovanni Francesco died at the hands of his own nephew who succeeded him. A bloody and dangerous time even for philosophers.

NILUS OF ANCYRA, St.: PIRCKHEIMER, W. (trans.)
Beatiss. Patris Nili, Episcopi et Martyris theologi antiquiss, Sente[n]tiae morales
|
Fridericus Peypus iterum impressit, Nuremberg 1516 - Modern boards made from the leaf of an incunable 4to . FIRST EDITION of Willibald Pirckheimer's (1470-1530) translation of the Sententiae morales of St. Nilus of Ancyra (c. ca. 430), 5th century abbot and ascetic writer, who was one of the many disciples and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom (cf. New Cath. Enc. X, p. 470). Willibald was one of the greatest German patrons of scholars and artists of the period as well as being a first rate scholar whose writings and translations were highly regarded. He composed the obituary of his lifelong friend and sometime collaborator Albrech Durer in 1528 (cf. Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). He dedicated the present work to his sister Klara who "was no exception to the remarkable level of education and culture for which the female members of the pirckheimer family were famous . Willibald dedicated to her his edition of Nilus' Sententiae mroales (Nuremberg: F. Peypus 1516); in the same year he conveyed Klara's greetings to Erasmus" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). The beautiful woodcut title border was earlier believed to be the work of Albrecht Durer but now attributed to Hans Springinklee (Dodgson I, p. 379; Butsch, plate 32). OCLC Columbia and Harvard [20]. Fine woodcut white on black title border (lightly trimmed at top of border) attributed to Hans Springinklee. Some foxing. § VD16 N1760; BM/STC German 654; Dodgson, German & Flemish woodcuts, I, 379.

- (Straßburg, Johann Grüninger, 1516).Fol. Mit Holzschn.-Titelbordüre von Hans Wechtlin u. 10 halbseitigen Holzschnitten zum ersten Teil sowie einem Titelholzschnitt zum zweiten Teil von Hans Baldung Grien. 60 (recte 58) num. Bll. num. Bll. 61-108 (recte 105). Mod. HPgmt.Erste illustrierte Ausgabe. - Der Liederdichter Marquard von Lindau (gest. 1392 in Konstanz) stammte vermutlich aus Lindau am Bodensee und trat dort in den Orden der Franziskaner ein. 1373 war er Lesemeister am Studium generale der oberdeutschen Franziskanerprovinz in Straßburg, danach wirkte er in Straßburg, Lindau, Würzburg und Konstanz. 1377-83 war Marquard mehrmals Kustos der Bodensee-Kustodie und von 1389 bis zu seinem Tod Ordensprovinzial der oberdeutschen Provinz. Er zählte zum Kreis der "Gottesfreunde", schätzte Johannes Tauler und kannte die Werke der deutschen Mystik. Seine zahlreichen Schriften sind in einem Werkverzeichnis des 15. Jhds. erfaßt. Während Marquards lateinische Werke vor allem innerhalb des Ordens Verbreitung fanden, gehörten seine deutschen Werke zu den erfolgreichsten und populärsten katechetischen Schriften des späten Mittelalters. - An die vorliegende Dekalogerklärung (entstanden um 1373) schliesst sich ein Werk des asketischen Schriftstellers und Dominikaners Marcus von Weida an, der in der zweiten Hälfte des 15. Jahrhunderts lebte, frühzeitig in den Orden in Leipzig eintrat und dort als Prediger und Lektor der Theologie wirkte. Unter seinen nach Inhalt und Form vorzüglichen Schriften fand sowohl die vorliegende Auslegung des Vaterunsers als auch der Rosenkranz Mariae noch zu Lebzeiten des Autors Drucklegung. - Die 10 signierten Holzschnitte von Hans Baldung Grien gehören zu den bedeutendsten xylographischen Erzeugnissen dieses hervorragendsten Vertreters der Straßburger Holzschnittschule: Ob Baldung die früheren Illustrationen zu den 10 Geboten kannte, wie sie sich in dem 1478 bei Sorg erschienenen Seelentrost und in dem 1509 von Knobloch gedruckten Spiegel christlicher Wallfahrt vorfinden, ist unsicher. Jedenfalls hat er seine geistreichen Blätter ganz selbständig entworfen (Muther). Das meist fehlende angehängte Werk von Marcus von Weida ist Muther unbekannt geblieben. Die ausserordentlich fein geschnittene Titelbordüre zum ersten Werk, die Muther ebenfalls nicht beschreibt, ist mit dem Monogramm E. F. G. W. sowie V. A. signiert und rührt von Hans Wechtlin, dem berühmten Formschneider der alten elsässischen Schule, her. Nagler (Mon. 11, No. 1581) beschreibt sie ausführlich, kennt jedoch ihre Verwendung in vorliegendem Werk nicht. Der Titelholzschnitt zum zweiten Teil ist eine Kopie nach dem in Sebastian Brants Carmina verwendeten Titelbild vom Jahre 1498 (vgl. Schreiber 3544). Er stellt einen in einer Landschaft knieenden Mann dar, links von ihm ein Wappenschild, über ihm eine Banderole mit den Buchstaben ODM DTVMM, in der linken oberen Ecke Gott Vater. - Alter Besitzeintrag am ersten u. späterer handschriftl. Eintrag a. beiden Titelblättern. Weiterer getilgter Besitzvermerk am ersten Titel, dadurch min. Papierdurchbruch. Der zweite Titel mit kl. Loch im unteren Blattrand. Tlw. mit An- und Unterstreichungen sowie Marginalien von alter Hand. Etw. gebräunt, vorwiegend im unteren Blattrand fingerfleckig. - Kein Exemplar im Jahrbuch der Auktionspreise! - VD 16, M 1075 Weller 995 Kosch X, 462 Ritter 1488 Muller 134 Muther 1400 sowie Tafeln 238-247 (mit Faksimile aller 10 Holzschnitte) Bartsch 49-53 (kennt nur 5 Holzschnitte) nicht bei Adams, Fairfax Murray u. im BM STC, German Books. - Hardcover

En un volume in-8, velin souple de l'epoque a recouvrements. Satire sanglante du fameux humaniste Ulrich de Hutten, contre Ortwinus Gratius, qui avait attaque son ami Reuchlin en l'accusant de judaisme. Ce celebre pamphlet dirige contre le clerge de l'Eglise catholique fit grand bruit lors de sa premiere parution, en 1516. En effet, les successeurs de Saint Pierre y sont tout simplement traites de tyrans, de voleurs et de brigands. Rome prit le parti de Gratius et Leon X condamna l'ouvrage par une bulle, ce qui assura le succes du livre en Allemagne. Ces " sanglantes et immortelles satires " obligerent Hutten a s'expatrier. D'une vue plus vaste que Luther, Hutten s'attaqua avec passion a la tyrannie politique et aux abus sociaux. P. Larousse le proclame le plus grand, le plus vrai, le plus energique restaurateur de la liberte moderne. " ... premiere escarmouche des poetes seculiers contre les " sorbonagres ", de la Renaissance contre le Moyen-Age, de l'esprit moderne contre la vieille routine et les dogmes surannes " (Laurent Tailhade, qui devait traduire ces Lettres en 1924). Les 2 satires de Hartlieb et Oleario se trouvent souvent a la suite des Epistolarum obscurorum.Papier roussi, avec un cerne angulaire. Galeries de vers marginales.

The Description of Greece By Pausanias. Three Volumes Complete
|
. Good 16mo-over 5¾"-6¾" tall. Translated from the Greek, with notes. Leather bound with gilt lettering to spines and cloth covered boards. Complete in three volumes and illustrated with 2 lovely folding maps and 5 engraved folding plates. One of the most important texts of classical antiquity, first published by Aldus in 1516. A second-century A.D. guidebook, in the form of a tour, through the Peloponese and northern Greece, and which is divided into ten books: 1. Attica and Megara. 2. Argolis, including Mycenae, Tiryns, and Epidaurus. 3. Laconia. 4. Messenia. 5-6. Elis, including Olympia; 7. Achaea. 8. Arcadia. 9. Boeotia. 10. Phocis, including Delphi. In each, Pausanias describes the historical sites, topography, and customs of the regions, often adding historical background information, bits of local folklore, and relating contemporary anecdotes. It is, however, in descriptions of monuments of ancient art and architecture that Pausanias excells, and which have made this a work of lasting importance. The bindings are tight and firm and all covers are firmly attached. There is some wear to the extremities, particularly to the spines which are chipped and rubbed. The cloth to the rear board of Vol. II is also damaged. Internally the books are clean and bright apart from some isolated spots. There are some worming holes to a number of the pages of Vol. I, which do affect the folding plates, though not the engravings themselves. The folding maps are hardly affected at all and are in good condition. There are also some very isolated worming holes to Vol. III. There is an ownership plate to the front paste down of all three volumes.

Chr.) beschäftigte sich ab ca. 146 vornehmlich mit der Medizin, unter anderem in Smyrna und Alexandria, dem damaligen Zentrum der Medizin. 158 kehrte er in seinen Geburtsort Pergamon zurück. Hier war er als Sport- und Wundarzt der Gladiatoren tätig und unterhielt gleichzeitig eine Praxis, die aufgrund seines Rufs gut besucht war. Während der Olympischen Spiele untersuchte er die gut durchtrainierten Körper der Athleten und studierte die akuten Verletzungen der Sportler unmittelbar nach ihrem Auftreten. Ab 161 war Galen in Rom tätig und nach der Heilung des geachteten Philosophen Eudemos von Pergamon, Arzt der römischen Aristokratie. Um 166 verließ er wahrscheinlich aufgrund der dort ausgebrochenen Antoninischen Pest fluchtartig Rom und nahm seine Stelle als Gladiatorenarzt in Pergamon wieder an. 168 reiste er auf Bitte des römischen Kaisers Marcus Aurelius nach Aquileia, wo die Pest unter den römischen Soldaten ausgebrochen war. Seine präzise Beschreibung der Krankheitssymptome lässt die Vermutung zu, dass es sich hierbei eher um eine Pockenepidemie gehandelt haben wird. Seinem Wunsch entsprechend wurde er in Rom ab 169 der Leibarzt des Kaisersohnes Commodus, später vermutlich auch des Kaisers P. Septimius Severus. Galens systematisch ausgebautes Werk, das im Mittelalter ins Arabische übersetzt wurde, war derart umfangreich und philosophisch abgesichert, dass es 1400 Jahre brauchte, es kritisch zu hinterfragen. Seine Auffassungen vom Fluss des Blutes wurden erst im 17. Jahrhundert durch William Harvey und Marcellus Malpighi und teils gegen erhebliche Widerstände revidiert. Seine Fassung der Humoralpathologie hatte als Krankheitskonzept Bestand bis ins 19. Jahrhundert. (Zitat) - Auf die hier vorliegende Ausgabe bezieht sich die massgebliche venezianische Juntes-Ausgabe (1522, 1528). Selten.

Bale, Adam Petri de Langendorff pour le libraire Hornken (Cologne), 1516; in-folio, 6 ffnc. + 213 ff. + 26 ffnc. (manque le dernier feuillet blanc), plein veau brun de l'epoque, ais de bois estampes a froid, dos a six nerfs, traces de fermoirs (absents), traces de restauration a un coin et en queue du dos, petits manques a la coiffe superieur, une craquelure le long du dos. Belle impression baloise, en caractere gothiques, effectuee par Adam Petri de Langendorff pour Ludovic Hornken, libraire a Cologne. Page de titre imprimee en rouge et noir, avec un beau bois grave d'encadrement par Urs Graf (monogramme en-haut a gauche); on trouve egalement sur cette page de titre la marque typographique de L. Hornken (Heitz, Kolner Buchermarken n 30), repetee au folio 213b. Le "Livre des Sentences" est l'oeuvre la plus connue de Pierre Lombard (Lumellogno, pres de Novare, vers 1100 - Paris, 1160). Elle constitue la "somme" la plus celebre du Moyen Age avant celle de Saint Thomas d'Aquin, et si Pierre Lombard est loin de posseder le genie philosophique et theologique de l'Aquinate, son ouvrage n'en reste pas moins, jusqu'au seizieme siecle, la source de tout l'enseignement religieux. Il presente une synthese complete du savoir theologique du Moyen Age. Il n'y a aucune iuvre dans la litterature chretienne, a part la Bible elle-meme, que l'on ait commente aussi souvent. Tous les grands penseurs medievaux, d'Albert le Grand et Thomas d'Aquin a Guillaume d'Ockham et Gabriel Biel, etaient sous son influence. Meme le jeune Martin Luther ecrivit encore des commentaires sur les Sentences. Texte imprime sur deux colonnes, quelques passages soulignes et marginalia. Bel exemplaire malgre quelques rares travaux de vers, une legere trace de mouillure dans le coin inferieur de quelques feuillets (sans atteinte au texte), et le deficit d'un feuillet blanc. Ex-libris manuscrit du seizieme siecle sur la page de titre. 1516

Hier war er als Sport- und Wundarzt der Gladiatoren tätig und unterhielt gleichzeitig eine Praxis, die aufgrund seines Rufs gut besucht war.

Eine Ausgabe des Kaisers würdig, auf dem schönsten Papiere, alle Titel in Quadratlettern, der ubrige Druck groß, und so, daß er sich mit allen ältern und neuen messen kann, und in Deutschland nichts gleichzeitiges ähnliches hat" (Denis, Garelli). In der Tat ist der Druck der zwei Bücher aus der großen Geschichte des Diodorus Siculus (1.Jhdt.v.Chr.) - insgesamt sind 15 Bücher überliefert - von großer Eleganz und Schönheit. Die schöne Type, der sorgfältigst durchgeführte Druck, die ausgewogene Typographie und das besonders schwere Hadernpapier lassen diesen Druck aus der Offizin des Hieronymus Vietor, des vierten Wiener Druckers, aus der übrigen Produktion herausragen. Vereinzelt mit Anmerkungen in den äußerst breiten Rändern, manchmal zarte Unterstreichungen. Diese Anmerkungen von zumindest zwei Händen. Letztes Blatt verso mit einer einfachen Wappendarstellung und der Jahreszahl 1516, ein späterer Besitzer des Buches hat dieses Wappen als dasjenige der Familie Thannberg (oder: Tannberg) identifiziert. Es erscheint wahrscheinlich, dass der erste Besitzer dieses Buches der Domherr Wolfgang von Thannberg aus Passau war. Der schlichte Halbledereinband (wohl 19.Jahrhundert) dem Stil der Zeit nachempfunden und mit dem Rückentitel: Angel Cospu in Dio Sicul 1516. Die Vorsätze wurden bei dieser Gelegenheit erneuert.

Madrid. Vollständiges, farbiges Testimonio-FaksimileDeutscher Kommentarband: Claus Weinert., Florenz um 1516 / 18 (Faksimile-Nachdruck jüngeren Datums). - 332 Seiten im Format 6 x 4cm. 11 ganzseitige Miniaturen. 14 Dekorseiten.Florenz im Mai 1518: Eine hochpolitische Hochzeit wird gefeiert. Lorenzo di Piero de Medici heiratet Madeleine de la Tour dAuvergne aus dem Haus Valois. Sein Onkel, Papst Leo X., hat diese Allianz Florenz-Paris in die Wege geleitet, von der schon Lorenzo il Magnifico träumte. Zur Vermählung gibt nun Papst Leo, ein Sohn Lorenzos, der bildschönen Prinzessin ein winziges Stundenbuch in die Hand, welches nicht nur ein Kunstwerk, sondern auch ein diplomatisches Dokument ist, voller Wappen und Embleme beider Familien, en miniature gestaltet vom zur damaligen Zeit bedeutendsten Florentiner Buchmaler Boccardino dem Älteren. Der berühmte Boccardino oder Giovanni Boccardi hatte vom Papst, einem großzügigen Kunstförderer, und dessen Bruder, Kardinal Giulio de Medici, persönlich den heiklen, weil in das Ränkespiel der Politik verwobenen Auftrag erhalten, ein besonderes Stundenbuch zur Hochzeit ihres Neffen Lorenzo zu gestalten. Es sollte nicht nur ein Andachtsbuch werden, sondern darüber hinaus ein Sinnbild politischer Macht. Erst 1512 war es den Medici wieder gelungen, diese zurückzuerlangen, hatte sie 1494 doch der Italienfeldzug König Karls VIII. von Frankreich gezwungen, Florenz zu verlassen.

Thomas More
More: Utopia: Latin Text and English Translation
|
UK: Cambridge University Press. New PLEASE NOTE that we do not offer expedited shipping. Orders placed with the priority shipping option will automatically be canceled. First published in Latin in 1516, Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most influential books in the Western philosophical and literary tradition and one of the supreme achievements of Renaissance humanism. This is the first edition of Utopia since 1965 (the Yale edition) to combine More's Latin text with an English translation, and also the first edition to provide a Latin text that is at once accurate and readable. The text is based on the early editions (with the Froben edition of March 1518 as copy-text), but spelling and punctuation have been regularised in accordance with modern practices. The translation is a revised version of the acclaimed Adams translation, which also appears in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. The edition, which incorporates the results of recent Utopian scholarship, includes an introduction, textual apparatus, a full commentary and a guide to the voluminous scholarly and critical literature on Utopia.

Fridericus Peypus iterum impressit, Nuremberg 1516 - Modern boards made from the leaf of an incunable 4to . FIRST EDITION of Willibald Pirckheimer's (1470-1530) translation of the Sententiae morales of St. Nilus of Ancyra (c. ca. 430), 5th century abbot and ascetic writer, who was one of the many disciples and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom (cf. New Cath. Enc. X, p. 470). Willibald was one of the greatest German patrons of scholars and artists of the period as well as being a first rate scholar whose writings and translations were highly regarded. He composed the obituary of his lifelong friend and sometime collaborator Albrech Durer in 1528 (cf. Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). He dedicated the present work to his sister Klara who "was no exception to the remarkable level of education and culture for which the female members of the pirckheimer family were famous . Willibald dedicated to her his edition of Nilus' Sententiae mroales (Nuremberg: F. Peypus 1516); in the same year he conveyed Klara's greetings to Erasmus" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). The beautiful woodcut title border was earlier believed to be the work of Albrecht Durer but now attributed to Hans Springinklee (Dodgson I, p. 379; Butsch, plate 32). OCLC Columbia and Harvard [20].

Thomas More
More: Utopia: Latin Text and English Translation
|
Cambridge University Press. New First published in Latin in 1516, Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most influential books in the Western philosophical and literary tradition and one of the supreme achievements of Renaissance humanism. This is the first edition of Utopia since 1965 (the Yale edition) to combine More's Latin text with an English translation, and also the first edition to provide a Latin text that is at once accurate and readable. The text is based on the early editions (with the Froben edition of March 1518 as copy-text), but spelling and punctuation have been regularised in accordance with modern practices. The translation is a revised version of the acclaimed Adams translation, which also appears in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought. The edition, which incorporates the results of recent Utopian scholarship, includes an introduction, textual apparatus, a full commentary and a guide to the voluminous scholarly and critical literature on Utopia. ISBN10: 0521403189.

Maistre, Chevalet
Vie de sainct Christofle
|
Droz. 2600010181 Ecrite à Grenoble vers 1516, représentée en 1527 et publiée en 1530, la Vie de sainct Christofle est un des rares mystères originaux du XVIe siècle. Son auteur, Maistre Chevalet, s'était déjà distingué par sa collaboration au Mystère des Trois Doms. La Vie de sainct Christofle lui permet de donner la mesure de son talent par une construction dramatique élaborée, ainsi que par l'établissement des dialogues savoureux qu'entretiennent de nombreux personnages populaires ("tyrans", paysans, fou et folle, messagers, aveugle et valet, bourreaux, mère maquerelle et prostituées, taverniers, etc.) et par l'écriture de scènes pour le moins spectaculaires (bataille, passage de la rivière, martyres remarquables). On y retrouve tout l'univers de la poésie dramatique hagiographique, mais traité avec un art inhabituel du théâtre et du récit. La Vie de sainct Christofle est une pièce essentielle dans l'histoire du genre des mystères, mais aussi pour celle de la langue: le goût de Maître Chevalet pour les proverbes et les expressions pittoresques, dont il procure souvent la première attestation, offre aux lexicologues une matière de choix et aux lecteurs un plaisir qu'ils ne bouderont pas. 1104p (Droz 2006). 9782600010184. Paperback . New.
