[Œuvres].

Venise, In Ædibus Aldi et Andreæ Soceri, 1516 In-8 (164 x 99 mm) de 107 ff. et (1) f. de marque d'imprimeur, veau havane, dos de maroquin rouge à nerfs orné et doré, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin vert (reliure du XVIIIe siècle). Première et seule édition aldine des œuvres d'Ausone. Elle a été donnée par Girolamo Avanzi, membre de l'académie Aldine. Précepteur du fils de l'empereur Valentin, Ausone, grammairien, rhéteur et poète chrétien, est né à Bordeaux au quatrième siècle. Il fut le grand auteur latin de son époque et son œuvre intéresse autant sa ville natale de Bordeaux que celle de Trèves qui lui inspira son poème le plus connu : La Moselle dans lequel il donne, outre des descriptions pittoresques, la liste des poissons de la rivière ainsi que celle des vignobles qui poussent sur ses rives. Jolie reliure du XVIIIe siècle en veau à dos de maroquin. Elle est affectée de petits défauts d'usure. Renouard, Annali delle edizioni aldine, 80.7. - Adams, Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Continent of Europe 1501-1600, A 2278.

Al frontespizio grande marca tipografica dei Sessa con un gatto che ha in bocca un topolino entro una cornice attorniata da girali, con due maschere in alto ed in basso. Nella cornice il motto dissimilium infida societas. Due puttini alati sorreggono il tutto. (Marca Z590 in SBN). Grandi finali e capilettera incise in legno. Le Osservazioni, con propria numerazione presentano una grande testata ornata. Numerosi errori di numerazione (pp. 51, 54-59, 125, 132, 143, 186-7, 280-282, 377, 393-394 e 43 dell’indice).

Autore e titolo scritto ad inchiostro sul dorso liscio.

Qualche segno nel testo ed un’unica postilla a p. 55. Alone al margine delle carte e qualche macchia oltre a quelle normali per il tipo di carta. Contiene foglietto di appunti e paginetta di un libricino. Giovanni Francesco Fabrini nacque a Figline Valdarno nel 1516, dopo gli studi umanistici iniziati a Firenze, intraprese l’attività di mercante cche accrebbe le sue sostanze, quindi trasferitosi a Roma, cominciò ad insegnare e nel 1544 pubblicò la Interpretazione della lingua Latina per via della Toscana che dedicò al Cardinale Ippolito d’Este. A seguire le traduzioni in volgare degli scrittori latini: Virgilio, Orazio, Terenzio, e le Epistole di Cicerone, e La Teorica della lingua, dove s’insegna con regole generali ed infallibili a trasmutare tutte le lingue nella lingua latina. Venne nominato professore di eloquenza a Venezia nel 1547, incarico che ebbe per circa trenta anni e nella città lagunare, dove risiedeva morì nel 1580. Anche Filippo Venuti, nato a Cortona nel 1531 fu linguista e grammatico. A lui si deve un Dizionario volgare & latino che ebbe aver visto la luce nel 1561, oltre venti edizioni in circa cinquanta anni. Dopo la laurea in giurisprudenza si trasferì a Padova e Venezia, dove, entrato in contatto con il Fabrini, iniziò con lui una lunga collaborazione come traduttore di autori latini. Attivo a Roma nel 1569, è certa la data di morte avvenuta nel 1587, ma non il luogo che poté essere Roma o Venezia. Si tratta di una delle edizioni del XVII secolo di quest’opera apparsa già più volte nel secolo precedente, a partire dalla prima edizione, sempre per i tipi del Sessa del 1561 (altre nel : 1568, 1576, 1582, 1590 nel 1611), in cui i frequenti errori di numerazione dimostrano un impoverimento delle capacità della tipografia veneta che aveva iniziato la sua produzione nel 1489 con il capostipite Giovan Battista. In sedici libri le lettere di Cicerone, il cui testo in latino è al centro della pagina, sono attorniate da un breve sunto e dalla traduzione. In fine sono le Osservazioni del Venuti. Solo due copie censite in SBN. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Habermann, Johann:
Christliche Gebet für alle Not vnd Stende der gantzen Christenheit (1567). Doctrina et Pietas. Zwischen Reformation und Aufklärung. Texte und Untersuchungen [Abt 2 / Bd 4].
|
Stuttgart: Frommann-Holzboog 2009. - 440 S. Ln. *neuwertig* Das ›Betbüchlein‹ aus der Feder Johann Habermanns (1516-1590) ist unbestreitbar das erfolgreichste lutherische Gebetbuch überhaupt. An seine Verbreitung und Auflagenhäufigkeit reicht selbst Johann Arndts ›Paradiesgärtlein‹ nicht heran. Habermanns Betbüchlein, dem derzeitigen Stand der Erkenntnis nach 1567 erstmals erschienen und im selben Jahr bereits in überarbeiteter Fassung erneut gedruckt, ist in einer Flut von Neudrucken bis ins 20. Jahrhundert immer wieder aufgelegt worden. Die kritische, kommentierte Edition dieses Basistextes wird die beiden frühesten Drucke, die recht stark voneinander abweichen, im Paralleldruck darbieten. Ein Nachwort führt in Entstehung und (europaweite) Wirkung des ›Betbüchleins‹ ein.

(Colophon: Basel, printed by Adam Petri von Langendorff, 13 August), 1516.. Folio (30 x 19.5 cm). Slightly later (ca. 1565) blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards, in a panel design with 3 rolls (1 with Reformation portraits and 1 with biblical figures), a rosette and a leaf, brass fastenings with engraved decoration. Title-page in red and black with a woodcut pictorial frame, about 125 woodcut illustrations plus about 15 repeats by Hans Lützenburger after Hans Schäufelein and Urs Graf (5 nearly full-page, plus 2 repeats), 2 woodcut decorative strips, numerous decorated uncial initial letters (3 series, 17-34 mm, with more than 1 block for some letters), and 2 series of plain uncial initials. With the main text in a bastarda (97 mm/20 lines) with opening words and running heads in a large textura. All woodcuts and a few initials coloured by an early hand. With a remarkable half-sheet letterpress bookplate of Johann Hartmann of Forccheim (Bavaria), dated 1581 and with an elaborate border built from Robert Granjon's arabesque fleurons (182 x 100 mm), giving a warning curse to ensure the book's return. (8), 278 lvs.. Second edition (by the publisher of the 1514 first edition) of an extensively and beautifully illustrated rare devotional work, with readings for every day of the year (more extensive for Sundays). The woodblocks are largely the same as in the first edition, but the title-frame was newly made for the present edition. The text is loosely translated from the Gospels and Epistles, with explanatory texts (the book was intended for laymen who could not read Latin), Psalms, and stories from the lives of the Evangelists, Saints, etc. Folios 228 and 228v note the "güt und köstlich" art of printing with further comments on its benefits, ending with a complaint that people prefer to spend 3 shillings at the weinhauß than 1 shilling for a book. The woodcuts are by Hans Franck, usually equated with Hans Lützenburger (d. 1526?) at Basel, closely associated with Hans Holbein the younger and best known for the woodcuts he made for Holbein's 1524 Dance of Death. He here worked after drawings by Hans Schäufelein (the two largest of the four series) and Urs Graf (the title frame and the smallest series), and many show their HS and VG monograms, some also with Franck's shovel mark. The artist for the remaining series is unknown. The book is rare and three of the seven copies we have located are incomplete.One binding roll shows half-length portraits of Jesus, King David and two Saints, each with a two-line text. Another shows heads of Luther, Hus, Erasmus and possibly Melanchthon. The end leaf at the back is watermarked with a letter P below a square shield with a cross above three hills (similar to Piccard IV, marks XVII 691-704 (dated 1560-70, mostly from Esslingen, near Stuttgart), especially 699.The bookplate comprises a half sheet pasted down to the inside front board. It reads, "Sum ex Libris Ioannis Hartmanni Ivnioris Forchemii." followed by a quote from Psalm 55:11 (I trust in God and fear not what man can do to me), then his warning to ensure the book stays in his possession: "Est Liber ille meus, caueas deponere loco, Si mihi sustuleris, fur tibi nomen erit." Johann Hartmann is not the chemist of that name, but may be related to the astronomical instrument maker Georg Hartmann (1489-1564), who was born near Forccheim. Attractively bound copy in very good condition and with good margins.- (With a spot in the text in a few leaves (slightly affecting one woodcut) and an occasional minor marginal water stain or tear).

Il fut le grand auteur latin de son époque et son œuvre intéresse autant sa ville natale de Bordeaux que celle de Trèves qui lui inspira son poème le plus connu : La Moselle dans lequel il donne, outre des descriptions pittoresques, la liste des poissons de la rivière ainsi que celle des vignobles qui poussent sur ses rives. Jolie reliure du XVIIIe siècle en veau à dos de maroquin. Elle est affectée de petits défauts d'usure. Renouard, Annali delle edizioni aldine, 80.7. - Adams, Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Continent of Europe 1501-1600, A 2278.

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.

Petrus Apianus - 1540 AD Facsimiliby Famed Wittenberg
Astronomicum Caesareum
|
He was born as Peter Bienewitz (or Bennewitz) in Leisnig in Saxony; his father was a shoemaker. The family was relatively well off, belonging to the middle-class citizenry of Leisnig. Apianus was educated at the Latin school in Rochlitz. From 1516 to 1519 he studied at the University of Leipzig; during this time, he Latinized his name to Apianus (lat. apis means "bee"; "Biene" is the German word for bee).In 1519, Apianus moved to Vienna and continued his studies at the University of Vienna, which was considered one of the leading universities in geography and mathematics at the time and where Georg Tannstetter taught. When the plague broke out in Vienna in 1521, he completed his studies with a B.A. and moved to Regensburg and then to Landshut.In Landshut, he produced his Cosmographicus liber (1524), a highly respected work on astronomy and navigation that was to see at least 30 reprints in 14 languages and that remained popular until the end of the 16th century. He married the daughter of a councilman of Landshut, Katharina Mosner, in 1526. They would have 14 children together, five girls and nine sons, one of which was Philipp Apian.In 1527, Peter Apian was called to the University of Ingolstadt as a mathematician and printer. His print shop started small. Among the first books he printed were the writings of Johann Eck, Martin Luther's antagonist. Later, his print shop soon became well-known for its high-quality editions of geographic and cartographic works.A page of the Astronomicum Caesareum(1540)Through his work, Apian became a favourite of emperor Charles V. Charles had praised his work (the Cosmographicus liber) on the Reichstag of 1530 and granted him a printing monopoly in 1532 and 1534. In 1535, the emperor made Apian an armiger, i.e. granted him the right to display a coat of arms. In 1540, Apian printed the Astronomicum Caesareum, dedicated to Charles V. Charles promised him a truly royal sum (3,000 golden guilders)1, appointed him his court mathematician, and made him a Reichsritter and in 1544 even a Hofpfalzgraf. All this furthered Apian's reputation as an eminent scientist.Arms of coat of nobility Apian in Leisnig / SaxonyDespite many calls from other universities, including Leipzig, Padua, Tübingen, and Vienna, Apian remained in Ingolstadt until his death. Although he neglected his teaching duties, the university evidently was proud to host such an esteemed scientist. Apian's work included in mathematics—in 1527 he published a variation of Pascal's triangle, and in 1534 a table of sines— as well as astronomy. In 1531, he observed a comet and discovered that a comet's tail always point away from the sun. (Girolamo Fracastoro also detected this in 1531, but Apian's publication was the first to also include graphics.) He designed sundials, published manuals for astronomical instruments and crafted volvelles ("Apian wheels"), measuring instruments useful for calculating time and distance forHe was born as Peter Bienewitz (or Bennewitz) in Leisnig in Saxony; his father was a shoemaker.

All this furthered Apian's reputation as an eminent scientist. Scholar of wide and far acclaim oversaw this production. Brilliant! - You either know this masterpiece or you don't - this facsimile is more precious than the original 1540 first edition. Why? Well, for starters , you can actually enjoy by browsing it without it falling apart. It is magnificently reproduced with only 750 numbered copies in the world, and it is the most beautiful, powerful. book in the world, perhaps, of course, with the exception the the Holy Word. Keats produced a book of words and illustrations that early dumb founded me also, but, not like ASTRO! A reconnaissance 16th century masterpiece that will live in infamy - perhaps for all time. As I believe Infamy tends to last. I am not prone to hyperbole, either! The glitch here is that the card-board box that the text and volvelles are in and their companion guide to the reader in four languages needs to be replaced or restored, 200/250$ Not immediately or ever for that matter - the casing, which is treated in a bamboo paper motif is very well taped and does nothing to belittle the remarkable books inside. Money back guaranteed full if you are not mesmerized.

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.

- Bâle, Adam Petri de Langendorff pour le libraire Hornken (Cologne), 1516; in-folio, 6 ff.n.ch. + 213 ff. + 26 ff.n.ch. (manque le dernier feuillet blanc), plein veau brun de l'époque, ais de bois estampés à froid, dos à six nerfs, traces de fermoirs (absents), traces de restauration à un coin et en queue du dos, petits manques à la coiffe supérieur, une craquelure le long du dos. Belle impression bâloise, en caractère gothiques, effectuée par Adam Petri de Langendorff pour Ludovic Hornken, libraire à Cologne. Page de titre imprimée en rouge et noir, avec un beau bois gravé d'encadrement par Urs Graf (monogrammé en-haut à gauche); on trouve également sur cette page de titre la marque typographique de L. Hornken (Heitz, Kölner Büchermarken n° 30), répétée au folio 213b. Le "Livre des Sentences" est l'oeuvre la plus connue de Pierre Lombard (Lumellogno, près de Novare, vers 1100 - Paris, 1160). Elle constitue la "somme" la plus célèbre du Moyen Age avant celle de Saint Thomas d'Aquin, et si Pierre Lombard est loin de posséder le génie philosophique et théologique de l'Aquinate, son ouvrage n'en reste pas moins, jusqu'au seizième siècle, la source de tout l'enseignement religieux. Il présente une synthèse complète du savoir théologique du Moyen Age. Il n'y a aucune œuvre dans la littérature chrétienne, à part la Bible elle-même, que l'on ait commenté aussi souvent. Tous les grands penseurs médiévaux, d'Albert le Grand et Thomas d'Aquin à Guillaume d'Ockham et Gabriel Biel, étaient sous son influence. Même le jeune Martin Luther écrivit encore des commentaires sur les Sentences. Texte imprimé sur deux colonnes, quelques passages soulignés et marginalia. Bel exemplaire malgré quelques rares travaux de vers, une légère trace de mouillure dans le coin inférieur de quelques feuillets (sans atteinte au texte), et le déficit d'un feuillet blanc. Ex-libris manuscrit du seizième siècle sur la page de titre. 1516 [Attributes: Hard Cover]

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.

This bibliography, entitled Prologomena ad Galenum, which first appeared in this edition, was the first bio-bibliography, and Gesner's most developed bibliography, covering Greek editions, Latin editions, lost works, writers on Galen, and a classified bibliography of Galen's writings. The bio-bibliography occupies 37 unnumbered leaves, following the title to volume 1, and Gesner's two unnumbered leaves of dedication, dated February 1562. Besterman, The Beginnings of Systematic Bibliography (1940) 19-20, no. XXIX."Galen stands second only to Hippocrates in importance in ancient Greek medicine. His writings dominated Byzantine, Arabic and medieval medicine for over a millenium, being superseded in anatomy only with Vesalius, in physiology with Harvey, and in pathology with Boerhaave" (G-M 27, citing the Aldine Greek editio princeps of 1525). Gesner's edition, first published in Lyons in 1549-51, appeared during the height of Renaissance interest in Galen's works, evidenced by the enormous increase in new translations published between 1525 (the year of the Aldine Greek editio princeps) and 1561. Jean-Jacques Chifflet, whose signature and notes appear on our copy, was city physician of Besançon and served as personal physician to the Archduchess Isabella of the Netherlands and Philip IV of Spain; he also published a number of medical and political works (see NBG).

Maistre Chevalet
La Vie de sainct Christofle
|
DROZ - 9782600010184 Livre usage a l'etat de neuf / Used book as new condition Edition critique par Pierre Servet 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.

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.

Venise, In Ædibus Aldi et Andreæ Soceri, 1516 In-8 (164 x 99 mm) de 107 ff. et (1) f. de marque d'imprimeur, veau havane, dos de maroquin rouge à nerfs orné et doré, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin vert (reliure du XVIIIe siècle). Première et seule édition aldine des œuvres d'Ausone. Elle a été donnée par Girolamo Avanzi, membre de l'académie Aldine.

Venice: in aedibus Aldi, et Andreae Soceri, Nov. 1516. Rare second edition and OsuperiorO edition of the Latin translation of this collection of 13 works by Neoplatonist writers, translated and revised by Marsilio Ficino, and which is dedicated to Giovanni deO Medici, the future Leone X; the Greek text did not appear until 1678. Roman letter and with handsome woodcut initials. Folio (mm 300 x 200), in fine, full antique vellum, the spine with lettering label gilt. 177 [1] ff. 27 additional blanks bound in at rear. A fine copy, and a beautiful survival, crisp and clean throughout. One small antique ink blemish to the outer margin of one leaf. . RARE AND IMPORTANT ALDINE EDITION. This seminal work of Iamblichus translated in Latin contains the collection of 13 works by Neoplatonist writers, all translated and revised by Marsilio Ficino. The others works in this volume include: Proclus: In Platonicum Alcibiadem and De sacrificio et magia, Porphyrius: De occasionibus, de abstinentia, Synesius: De somniis, Psellus: De daemonibus, Pythagorae: Aurea Verba et symbola, Xenocrates: De morte, and a tract by Ficino himself De voluptate. 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.

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].

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.

Venise, In Ædibus Aldi et Andreæ Soceri, 1516 In-8 (164 x 99 mm) de 107 ff. et (1) f. de marque d'imprimeur, veau havane, dos de maroquin rouge à nerfs orné et doré, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin vert (reliure du XVIIIe siècle). Première et seule édition aldine des œuvres d'Ausone. Elle a été donnée par Girolamo Avanzi, membre de l'académie Aldine. Précepteur du fils de l'empereur Valentin, Ausone, grammairien, rhéteur et poète chrétien, est né à Bordeaux au quatrième siècle. Il fut le grand auteur latin de son époque et son œuvre intéresse autant sa ville natale de Bordeaux que celle de Trèves qui lui inspira son poème le plus connu : La Moselle dans lequel il donne, outre des descriptions pittoresques, la liste des poissons de la rivière ainsi que celle des vignobles qui poussent sur ses rives. Jolie reliure du XVIIIe siècle en veau à dos de maroquin. Elle est affectée de petits défauts d'usure. Renouard, Annali delle edizioni aldine, 80.7. - Adams, Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Continent of Europe 1501-1600, A 2278.

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.
