Beatissi Patris Nili episcopi & martyris theologi antiquiss. Sente[n]tia morales e Greco in Latinum versae; Bilibaldo Pircheimero Norimbergensi interprete.
      Pamphilus Gegenback, Basel 1518 - Modern wrappers 4to . New 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 dedicatory letter's date has been changed from 1516 to 1518. OCLC locates only one copy at the Bridwell Library at SMU [16].

Barzizius (Barzizza), Christoph
Introductoriu(m) in medicinam legenti cuilibet perutile.
      Augsburg, Sigmund Grimm, 14.XII.1518. - Holzschnitt-Titelbordüre, 63 unnum. Bl., 1 w. Bl. 4°. Älterer biegsamer Pergamentband (etwas fleckig, Vorsätze erneuert) Einzige Ausgabe des 16. Jahrhunderts, von größter Seltenheit. - VD 16, B 619; Durling 484; Hirsch/H. I, 367 (falsch 'Wien'); Panzer VI, 151, 127; nicht bei Adams, Bird, Lesky, Osler, Waller und Wellcome - Unseres Wissens eine der frühesten Einführungen in das wissenschaftliche Studium der Medizin aus der Feder des italienischen Gelehrten Christoph Barzizius. Eine Inkunabelausgabe, die 1494 in Pavia erschien, ging der hier vorliegenden voraus. "Christofo Barzizza, um 1400, aus Bergamo, Neffe des (Grammatikers) Gasparinus Barzizius, 1434-1440 Professor der Medizin zu Padua. Sicher eine von dem Humanisten gleichen Namens verschiedene Persönlichkeit" (GW 3672 zur EA Pavia 1494). - Dieser in der Offizin des Sigismund Grimm, Doktor der Medizin, entstandene Druck ist sicher als ein Versuch zu verstehen, die Erkenntnisse der berühmten italienischen medizinischen Kapazitäten aus den Universitäten Pavia und Padua nördlich der Alpen weiterzuverbreiten. Nach dem Titelblatt ist das Buch "legenti cuilibet perutile" (für jeden Leser sehr nützlich), was an eine allgemeinbildende Schrift denken läßt. Mehrfach erwähnt sind auch die iuvenes, also junge Leute, wobei man zuerst an Studenten denken wird. Jedoch hat Augsburg zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts keine Universität besessen, so daß das Verlagsobjekt exportiert werden mußte oder zur Weiterbildung der in der Stadt oder im Umkreis ansässigen "fertigen" Ärzte dienen sollte. Die Schrift stützt sich auf die in der Medizin damals maßgeblichen Autoritäten wie Hippokrates, Almansor, Avicenna, Galen, Mesue oder Serapion und stellt die Probleme z. T. in der ersten Person Singular ("ich") durchaus nicht allgemeinverständlich dar. Sie beginnt mit "res naturales", auf denen die Medizin aufbaut, wie Luft, Feuer, Erde, Wasser (aer, ignis, terra, aqua) und den drei medizinischen Elementen "sperma viri mulieris et sanguis menstruus" (Same des Mannes und der Frau und Menstrualtionsblut). Nach Beschreibungen u.a. der besonderen Zeichen der Krankheit, ihres Ortes und ihrer Zeit enthält das 14. Kapitel "signa", Zeichen, die vom Kopf abwärts (Dolor in cute et ita de quolibet membro"; Schmerz in der Haut und in jedem Glied aufgelistet werden. Es folgt der "modus curandi", der Behandlungsmethoden und -regeln aufzeigt, wobei Wasser (kalt/warm), Luft, Abreibungen (fricatio), Bäder, Umschläge (epithimata), Aderlaß, Klistiere, Erbrechen etc. eingesetzt werden, ferner auch Heilpflanzen und Essenzen wie Aloe, Koriander oder Absinth. Diese Anweisungen wenden sich eindeutig an den Fachmann und sind kaum zur Medikation durch Laien geeignet. Die Ausgabe belegt, daß das "Introductorium" nicht nur 1494, also viele Jahre nach dem Tod des Autors, einem Kreis von Medizinern (als Herausgebern) und dem auf Medizin spezialisierten Drucker Antonius Carcanus wichtig und wertvoll erschien, sondern auch später in Augsburg als Zusammenfassung der spätmittelalterlichen Medizin-Praxis empfunden wurde (obwohl die Pest darin nur beiläufig erwähnt ist - und die Syphilis-Problematik nicht erörtert werden konnte, da die Krankheit noch nicht auf Europa übergegriffen hatte). - Die schöne Titelbordüre ist abgebildet bei Pflug-H., Taf. 14. - Wir danken Herrn Dr. Holger Nickel von der Staatsbibliothek Berlin für zeitaufwendige, detaillierte und umfangreiche Recherchen. - Tadellos erhaltenes, breitrandiges, rubriziertes Exemplar. Titel mit handschriftlichem Besitzvermerk (Cart. in Buxheim, deren Bibliothek 1883 versteigert wurde), altem Bibliotheksstempel, ein weiterer Stempel im Unterrand von Bl. 2. Vereinzelt minimale Wurmgänge. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

VORAGINE Jacopo de
Legendario di sancti novamente ben stampado vulgare.
      Venetia, Niccolo et Domenico Sandri, fratelli dal Jesu, 2 August 1518 in-4, ff. 344 (segn.354), 4 n.n. bella leg. ottocentesca ad imitazione antica, elaborata decorazione a secco ai piatti, tit. in oro e fregi a secco al dorso a nervi (piccoli restauri alle estremità delle cerniere, qualche abrasione). Testo impresso su due colonne, car. tondo in rosso e nero; titolo in grande car. gotico e istruzioni per la consultazione dell'opera impressi in rosso entro 5 tondi inseriti in bordura a grotteschi; al verso grande "crisma" con croce in negativo entro grande arabesco su fondo rosso; colophon in grande car. gotico entro bordura e, al verso, silogr. tonda con 2 angeli che reggono uno scudo vuoto. La stupenda illustrazione del volume comprende inoltre: 15 bordure di 4 legni con ritratti in tondo, e grande capolettera istoriato all'interno; 12 elaborate bordure con vasi e grotteschi, che comprende 5 tondi con calendario di ogni mese e sue peculiarità impressi in rosso; 56 tondi di diametro 15 cm con scene della vita dei Santi e Martiri, inscritti in quadrato con fregi agli ang.; un Giudizio Universale (colorato all'epoca) entro bordura di 4 legni con versi in rosso entro tondi; 5 silogr. di grandi formati diversi (Assunzione e Natività della Vergine, Adorazione dell'Eucarestia, Crocefisso della Scuola di S.Giovanni a Venezia, S.Adriano) e un foglio con 6 legni relativi a S.Apollonia; 124 vignette a larghezza di una colonna, raffig. scene della Bibbia, gran numero di grandi iniziali ornate. Questa edizione, come già quella del 1505, venne diffusa con due frontespizi differenti: in caratteri xilo-tipografici (di cui si conoscono il presente esemplare e altri 2, di cui uno presso la Biblioteca Casanatense di Roma e l'altro alla Fondazione Cini di Venezia; cfr L. Pagnotta, Le edizioni italiane della "Legenda Aurea" (1475-1630), Firenze 2005, p. 108) o in caratteri romani tipografici (noto in due esemplari: Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticane e Biblioteca Marciana). Una delle più belle edizioni della raccolta di vite e leggende dei Santi, composta da Jacopo da Varazze (1230-1298) verso il 1266, che conobbe enorme fama, ed ebbe gran numero di edizioni, anche figurate, tra XV e XVI sec. L'editore si è curato, oltre che di fornire le istruzioni per la consultazione sul frontesp., di corredare l'opera di un indice alfabetico, del registro e, fatto assai raro, dell'indicazione degli errori e delle omissioni nella numerazione delle carte. Rara e ricercata edizione volgare figurata, fedele ristampa dell'edizione del 1505 degli stessi tipografi; straordinaria per la ricchezza e la peculiarità dell'illustrazione, nella quale il tondo è tema ricorrente. La sua bellezza è confermata da Essling, che dedica ben 22 pag. di descrizione e riproduz. delle figure.Bell'esemplare, seppur con alcune bordure lievem. rifilate su 2 lati, strappo restaurato a un f. ed un alone nel margine inf. dei primi 8 ff. Cat.Unico censisce un esempl., presso la Casanatense e uno presso la Fondazione Cini di Venezia, così come un esempl. del 1505, presso la B.Mai di Bergamo. Non in BMC né Adams.

Rare lavishly illustrated devout Post-incunable printed in Antwerp FASCICULUS MIRRE. Hier beghint een seer sonderlinghe ende devote materie van die passie ons Heren Jesu Cristi gheheten (dat busselkijn of dat bondekijn van mirre) vergadert ende gecompileert van eenen gheestelijcken ende seer verlichten broeder vander minrebroeders oerden van die familie der observanten in die provincie van Colen ...
      Antwerp, Henrick Eckert van Homberch, 18 January 1518.. 4to. Old full speckled calf with decorated gilt spine in five compartments, red speckled edges. First word of title ('Fascilul us' ) printed in red from woodcut letters, with the initials 'H.E.' (Hendrick Eckert ?) worked into the 1st initial (F), 33 large and 2 smaller woodcut illustrations of the Passion in the text (27 blocks, 8 repeats) by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber, decorative woodcut initials. Rubricated in red throughout, including underlining and the bleeding Christ in some of the woodcuts. (196) ff. Collation: a8, b4, c-e8, f-i4-8, k-n8-4, o-p8, q4, r-s8, t4, u8, x4, A-B8 C-H4-8, I8.. Rare second edition (first: Delft, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden, March 6, 1517) of this devout collection of meditations on the Life of Christ, especially on the Passion. Later editions of this often reprinted work include editions of April 1519 (2 issues; Antwerp, Willem Vorsterman and The Hague, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden), 1526 (Antwerp, Symon Cock for Roelant Bollaert) and 1529 (Antwerp, Symon Cock, 1529). The author/compiler of the work was an anonymous Franciscan from Cologne; the compilation was edited by his fellow friar from Antwerp, Matthijs van Dordrecht, also known as Matthys or Matthias Weynsen (1480-1547). The beautiful series of descriptive and detailed woodcuts are by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber. Eckert, who moved to Antwerp from Delft in 1500, owned a very extensive stock of illustrations.Most copies were defective when they came on the market; one leaf was lacking after quire A. After the printer had noted that there was some text missing between the quires A and B, he has added a leaf (cancel) , hence the quire 'A8+1' in some copies. Since the added leaf is not present in our copy it is likely that it had already been sold before the printer discovered his omission. According to De Troeyer, five states (A-E) are known, derived from variants which appear on the title-page. Our copy belongs to state A with the word 'Mirre' instead of 'Myrre' in line 2 and the phrase 'cum gracia et previlegio', flanked by three dots, at the bottom of the first leaf. Nijhoff-Kronenberg mentions only three complete copies of this edition (The Hague, Weert and Woerden), of which only the last has the variant setting as in our copy. Provenance With old ownership's entries in ink on first flyleaf: 'Desen bock is tot gebruijck van Suster Maria Verhavert religeus onwerdigh', preceded by the motto 'Looft Godt altijdt' (16th. century); 'Deezen boek is tot gebruyk van zuster Elisabeth Goris Religieuse in Olv Gasthuys tot Mechelen int jaer 1831'. And another, cropped, one (16th. century) in the lower margin of fol. a1v: 'Desen boeck hoort toe tconve(n)t van'. Very good copy.- (Binding sl. rubbed with sm. defects to head and tail of spine). NK 923; De Troeyer II, 128; BCNI 652; Burger, Ned. Inc. , 64; Cockx-Indestege, E., 'De Passie Delbecq Schreiber houtsneden in drukken, 1500-1550', in: Ons Geestelijk Erf 63 (1989), pp. 245-78; Delen, A., 'De Meester der 'Passie Delbecq-Schreiber', in: Oude Vlaamsche grafiek: studies en aantekeningen (1943), pp. 5-21; De Kempenaer col. 68; NNBW V, col. 1108; not in Adams nor Machiels.

CLASSICS], [POMPEII], [VESUVIUS], [ALDINE PRESS], [PLINY THE YOUNGER], PLINIUS, Gaius Secundus
Epistolarim Libri X
      Aldi, et Andreae Asulani, (Aldus Manutius), Venetiis, (Venice) 1518 - [56], 525pp, [1]. Lacking final blank, else collated and complete. *-***8, ****-4, a-8-z8, aa-kk7. Handsomely bound in slightly later lettered vellum. Yapp-edges. Light wear to extremities, a few wormholes to spine/joints, single-track to FFEP, not extending to text. Marbled front and rear fixed endpapers. Bookplate removed from front endpaper. Very light marginal dampstaining to prelims, occasionally to the odd signature of text. Very light and sporadic foxing, else a very clean and crisp example of this early Aldine Press printing. Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, (c.61-c113), administrator of part of the Roman Empire. Pliny the Younger, adopted by his uncle Pliny the Elder, studied philosophy and rhetoric under Nicetes Sacerdos and Quintilian, and practised civil law. Eventually rising to the political court, where he prosecuted provincial governors on charges of corruption and extortion. He acheived the ranks of both Praetor and Consul (in 100 AD) of the Roman Empire. Friend of Tacitus, Martial and Suetonius, Pliny was likewise a published author with these 10 books of letters, issued between 100 and 109 - collectively they almost the entirety of Pliny's surviving work and offer a valuable insight into the Roman world of the 1st Century. 'The Letters are models of graceful thought and refined expression, each of them dealing with a single topic and generally ending with an epigrammatic point.' (Encyc. Britannica 11th Ed). They deal with various issues, including on of the few accounts of the eruption of Vesuvius made by an eyewitness (for the Younger Pliny had accompanied his uncle and adoptive father) to the area in AD79, describing his final hours in detail in a letter to Tacitus (VI). 'In his Letters Pliny presents us with a picture of the varied interests of a cultivated Roman gentleman. The etiquette of the imperial circle, scenes from the law-courts and the recitationroom, the reunions of dilettanti and philosophers, the busy life of the capital or of the municipal town, the recreations of the seaside and of the country - all these he brings vividly before our eyes. He elaborately describes his Laurentine and his Tuscan villa, and frankly tells us how he spends the day at each (ii. 17, v. 6, ix. 36 and 40);'expatiates on his verses and his speeches, his holiday-tasks in Umbria (vii. 9, ix. so), and his happy memories of the Lake of Como (i. 6). He gives an enthusiastic account of a statuette of Corinthian bronze he has recently purchased (iii. 6). He is interested in providing a teacher of rhetoric for the place of his birth (iv. 13); he exults in the devotion of his wife, Calpurnia (vi. 19); towards his servants he is an indulgent master (viii. 16); he intercedes on behalf of the freedman of a friend (ix. 21), and, when a freedman of his own is in delicate health, sends him first to Egypt and afterwards to the Riviera (v. 19). He consults Suetonius on the interpretation of dreams (1.18); he presents another of his correspondents with a batch of ghost-stories (vii. 27) or a marvellous tale about a tame dolphin on the north coast of Africa (ix. 33). He discourses on the beauties of the Clitumnus (viii. 8) and the floating islands of the Vadimonian lake (viii. 20).He takes as his models Cicero and Tacitus (vii. 20), whose name is so often (to his delight) associated with his own (ix. 23). He rejoices to learn that his writings are read at Lyons (ix. I I). He complains of the inanity of circus-races (ix. 6), of the decay of interest in public recitations (i. 13), of bad taste in matters of hospitality (ii. 6), and of the way in which time is frittered away in the social duties of Rome (i. 9). He lays down the principles that should guide a Roman governor in Greece (viii. 24); he maintains the cause of the oppressed provinces of Spain and Africa; and he exposes the iniquities of the informer Regulus, the only living man whom he attacks in his Letters, going so far as to denounce him as omnium bipedum nequissimus (i. 5, [Attributes: First Edition]

BERENGARIO DA CARPI, Jacopo;
Tractatus de fractura calve sive cranei a Carpo editus.
      Bologne Girolamo Benedetti 1518 - In-4 de 105 pp.ch. (chiffres rom.), 1 f.n.ch. ; vélin, pièce de titre de maroquin grenat au dos (reliure moderne). Waller, 911 ; Wellcome, 778 ; NLM, 531 ; Garrison-Morton, 4850.2 ; Norman, I, 186 ; Cushing Collection, 302 ; Heirs of Hippocrates, 160. Édition originale, très rare. Le premier traité de chirurgie crânienne publié séparément, et l'un des livres fondateurs de la neurologie moderne. L'ouvrage, sans conteste le chef-d'?uvre du médecin, anatomiste et chirurgien italien Jacopo Berengario (Carpi, v. 1460 - Ferrare, 1530), est dédié à Lorenzo II de Medici, duc d'Urbin, que l'auteur avait soigné pour une blessure à la tête. L'illustration, gravée sur bois, comporte une planche anatomique sur le titre (emplacement des zones opératoires sur le crâne) et 22 figures montrant des instruments chirurgicaux (trépan, forceps, marteau, scalpel etc.). "Berengario described several types of skull fractures and grouped the resulting lesions according to their symptoms, citing the relation between location and neurological effect. The book also discussed apoplexy, meningitis and parakysis" (Garrison). "Berengario (.) was the great anatomist of the period immediately before the flowering of medicine in the Renaissance. This work on skull fractures was occasioned by a controversy which had arisen among Berengario and other physicians regarding the postoperative treatment of a head wound suffered by Lorenzo de' Medici. It is especially interesting for the woodcuts of cranial instruments" (Heirs of Hippocrates).

New 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 dedicatory letter's date has been changed from 1516 to 1518. OCLC locates only one copy at the Bridwell Library at SMU [16].

Born in DueA!as, Palencia province, he was abbot of San FrontA!s de Zamora. He studied at Salamanca, where he may have earned a degree in theology. He traveled in Italy (Venice, 1550; Rome, 1551). He translated works from Latin and composed and published in various editions a emHistoria pontifical y cathA3lica (Pontifical and Catholic History)/em.

BARLETA (Gabriele).
Fructuosissimi atque amenissimi Sermones a toto verbisatorum cetu, diu desiderati. Suma cura Multis Sumptibus: tum ab italia: tum germania galliaque collatis exemplaribus. Ad ungue omnibus mendis repurgati reformatis falsis allegationibus bonis auspiciis. In usum publicum prodeunt.
      (a la fin:) Impressi Parrhisii Anno domini M.ccccc.xviii Die vero xvi Januarii (Jehan Petit, 16 janvier 1518). in-8. 4ff. 272ff. chiffres (i.e. 276). Plein veau mouchete, dos lisse orne (fraiche reliure du 18e siecle, infimes traces d'usage). Premiere Edition donnee par Franciscus de Serris, de ces sermons celebres du predicateur dominicain Gabriele Barleta, qui vivait au 15e siecle a Naples. Ses talents d'orateur et l'originalite de ses homelies lui valurent une telle renommee, qu'un proverbe se repandit a cette epoque en Italie: "Nescit praedicare qui nescit barlettare" ("Celui qui ne sait precher comme Bareleta ne sait pas precher"). "Il se rendit celebre a Naples par ses sermons, dans lesquels il melait le burlesque au sacre, citant Virgile apres Moise, placant David a cote d'Hercule et commencant une phrase en italien pour la continuer en latin et la finir en grec" (Larousse). "Les quolibets, jeux de mots et les bouffoneries obscenes dont surabondent ces sermons, pretent plus au scandale qu'a l'edification. Barlette est reste avec Menot et Maillard le modele du genre burlesque" (Bibliographie Clerico-Galante). Initialement parus en 1497 a Brescia, ces sermons firent l'objet d'un grand nombre d'editions dans les premieres annees du 16e siecle. La presente edition est dediee par Franciscus de Serris a un inquisiteur toulousain, Raymundus Gosinus. Elle fut a nouveau publiee par le meme imprimeur en 1527. Impression gothique en deux colonnes, avec la marque de Jehan Petit sur la page de titre. Inscriptions manuscrites sur les gardes et signatures anciennes sur le titre: "Ex. Biblioth. Claudi Rob. Jardel" et "Blendecq". Bel exemplaire finement relie au 18e siecle. Graesse, Tresor de livres rares et precieux, 1, 294: "sermons singuliers et bizarres". Bibliographie Clerico-Galante, p.14

FASCICULUS MIRRE.

      Rare lavishly illustrated devout Post-incunable printed in Antwerp Antwerp, Henrick Eckert van Homberch, 18 January 1518. 4to. Old full speckled calf with decorated gilt spine in five compartments, red speckled edges. First word of title ('Fascilulus') printed in red from woodcut letters, with the initials 'H.E.' (Hendrick Eckert ?) worked into the 1st initial (F), 33 large and 2 smaller woodcut illustrations of the Passion in the text (27 blocks, 8 repeats) by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber, decorative woodcut initials. Rubricated in red throughout, including underlining and the bleeding Christ in some of the woodcuts. (196) ff. Collation: a8, b4, c-e8, f-i4-8, k-n8-4, o-p8, q4, r-s8, t4, u8, x4, A-B8 C-H4-8, I8. Rare second edition (first: Delft, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden, March 6, 1517) of this devout collection of meditations on the Life of Christ, especially on the Passion. Later editions of this often reprinted work include editions of April 1519 (2 issues; Antwerp, Willem Vorsterman and The Hague, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden), 1526 (Antwerp, Symon Cock for Roelant Bollaert) and 1529 (Antwerp, Symon Cock, 1529). The author/compiler of the work was an anonymous Franciscan from Cologne; the compilation was edited by his fellow friar from Antwerp, Matthijs van Dordrecht, also known as Matthys or Matthias Weynsen (1480-1547). The beautiful series of descriptive and detailed woodcuts are by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber. Eckert, who moved to Antwerp from Delft in 1500, owned a very extensive stock of illustrations.Most copies were defective when they came on the market; one leaf was lacking after quire A. After the printer had noted that there was some text missing between the quires A and B, he has added a leaf (cancel) , hence the quire 'A8+1' in some copies. Since the added leaf is not present in our copy it is likely that it had already been sold before the printer discovered his omission. According to De Troeyer, five states (A-E) are known, derived from variants which appear on the title-page. Our copy belongs to state A with the word 'Mirre' instead of 'Myrre' in line 2 and the phrase 'cum gracia et previlegio', flanked by three dots, at the bottom of the first leaf. Nijhoff-Kronenberg mentions only three complete copies of this edition (The Hague, Weert and Woerden), of which only the last has the variant setting as in our copy.ProvenanceWith old ownership's entries in ink on first flyleaf: 'Desen bock is tot gebruijck van Suster Maria Verhavert religeus onwerdigh', preceded by the motto 'Looft Godt altijdt' (16th. century); 'Deezen boek is tot gebruyk van zuster Elisabeth Goris Religieuse in Olv Gasthuys tot Mechelen int jaer 1831'. And another, cropped, one (16th. century) in the lower margin of fol. a1v: 'Desen boeck hoort toe tconve(n)t van'. Very good copy.- (Binding sl. rubbed with sm. defects to head and tail of spine).

Nijhoff-Kronenberg mentions only three complete copies of this edition (The Hague, Weert and Woerden), of which only the last has the variant setting as in our copy.ProvenanceWith old ownership's entries in ink on first flyleaf: 'Desen bock is tot gebruijck van Suster Maria Verhavert religeus onwerdigh', preceded by the motto 'Looft Godt altijdt' (16th. century); 'Deezen boek is tot gebruyk van zuster Elisabeth Goris Religieuse in Olv Gasthuys tot Mechelen int jaer 1831'.

HUTTEN, Ulrich von (1488-1523)].
Outis nemo.
      (Augsburg, Johann Miller, [9. September 1518]). - 4to. Mit Titelholzschnitt von Hans Weiditz und zwei Zierinitialen. [12] Bl. Moderner Pergamentband. Erstausgabe. Diese Fassung von geistreichen Versen und Sprichwörtern in Wortspielform stellt eine Ueberarbeitung des Nemo I dar, die Hutten noch vor seiner zweiten Italienreise beendet hatte (vgl. seinen Brief an Erasmus aus Worms vom 24. Okt. 1515 [Allen II, 365,25]). Vermehrt um dreissig Distichen ist der zweite Nemo etwas straffer gefasst und mit einem moralischen und politischen Impetus versehen. Vorangestellt ist eine längere Vorrede an den Freund Johannes Crotus Rubianus (1480-1545), worin sich Hutten besonders über Theologen und Juristen auslässt. Der prachtvolle Titelholzschnitt von Hans Weiditz zeigt den bärtigen Nemo in römischer Uniform, dahinter das Schiff des Odysseus und links auf einer Klippe den Zyklopen Polyphem. Zu Nemos' Füssen liegen verstreut verschiedenste Utensilien, u. a. ein Buch, ein umgekippter Tisch mit Schemel, ein Brettspiel und Karten, eine Laute sowie eine Axt. - Ein vorzügliches Exemplar. VD 16, H-6384; Benzing 62; Böcking XV,1; Goedeke II, 229, 10; Röttinger, Weiditz, 7; Dodgson II, 140; Musper, Petrarca Meister, L7; Fairfax-Murray 211. First edition of the second version of one of Hutten's chief works, of which the first version appeared at Erfurt in 1516. Its verses contain puns and proverbs on domestic matters. Added in the present new version are thirty distichs and the preface in which the author attacks both theologians and lawyers. At the end is printed a letter summarizing the more controversial topics of Hutten's political and theological position. Hutten was a supporter of Reuchlin's defence of Hebrew books in the previous decade and their common satirical production had extended to cover more generally anti-Roman and anti-Papist issues. Reissues of this second version appeared in the same year at Basel, Strasbourg, and Leipzig. - A fine copy. - In modern vellum. [Attributes: First Edition]

      Pamphilus Gegenback, Basel 1518 - Modern wrappers 4to . New 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).

Large woodcut arms of the dedicatee Bishop Christopher of Brixen. Fine woodcut initials & several woodcut illus. in the text. [Augsburg: Grimm & Wirsung, 1520]. A magnificent sammelband in a handsome contemporary binding of three of Aristotle's chief scientific works. The editions were prepared and translated by John Argyropulus (1416-86), Greek humanist who was a very active promoter of the revival of learning in the West. Born in Constantinople, he was invited to Florence by Cosimo de' Medici, and was there appointed professor of Greek in the university. He left for Rome in 1471 where he continued to teach. He was highly esteemed as a translator of Aristotle. Johann Eck (1486-1543), best known as Luther's greatest opponent, was professor and chancellor at Ingolstadt for thirty years. He is a representative of the scholastic humanists, who were loyal supporters of the Church, while they were also eager for a revival of classical learning, and a new system of education. About 1515, the Duke of Bavaria established a commission to find means for ending the interminable strife between the rival academic parties at the University of Ingolstadt, and entrusted Eck with the preparation of fresh commentaries on Aristotle and Petrus Hispanus. These works became the standard text books of the university. The commentaries were inspired with much of the scientific spirit of the New Learning, but Eck had no sympathy with the revolutionary attitude of the Reformers (see Encyc. Brit.) . Very fine and fresh copies in a most attractive binding. Riley, Aristotle. Texts and Commentaries to 1700 in the University of Pennsylvania Library. A Catalogue, 170, 68, & 55. .

The expansion of the Ottoman empire during the reign of Sultan Selim I. (1465-1520) was closely watched throughout Europe. The present work calls for the formation of an army to be sent against the Turks (and all others opposed to Christianity). In the first half of the 16th century over 900 pamphlets relating to the Turks were issued, documenting the widespread fear of a Turkish domination. The present call to arms was issued in various cities throughout central Europe including Augsburg, Breslau, and Basel. Two other Nuremberg imprints are known to have been printed in the same year (Georg Stuchs and Friedrich Peypus). Only two copies are located on OCLC. Gollner: TURCICA I:107. VD16, D-160. KOHLER 664.

      Pamphilus Gegenback, Basel 1518 - Modern wrappers 4to . New 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 dedicatory letter's date has been changed from 1516 to 1518. OCLC locates only one copy at the Bridwell Library at SMU [16].

Large woodcut arms of the Bishop of Bamberg on title-page, a few woodcut text illus. Together with Plato, and Socrates (Plato!s teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. He was the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics. Aristotle!s views on the physical sciences profoundly shaped medieval scholarship, and their influence extended well into the Renaissance, although they were ultimately replaced by modern physics. In the biological sciences, some of his observations were only confirmed to be accurate in the nineteenth century. His works contain the earliest known formal study of logic, which were incorporated in the late nineteenth century into modern formal logic. These standard text works of Aristotle were prepared by the Greek humanist John Argyropulus (?1416-1486) and Johann Eck (1486-1543), who was Martin Luther!s greatest opponent. A ducal commission, appointed to find a way of ending the interminable strife between rival academic parties, asked Eck to prepare fresh commentaries on Aristotle and Petrus Hispanus. Between 1516 and 1520, in addition to all his other duties, he published commentaries on the Summulae of Petrus Hispanus, and on the Dialectics, Physics and lesser scientific works of Aristotle, which became the textbooks of the university. During these early years, Eck was considered a !modernist!, and his commentaries are inspired with much of the scientific spirit of the New Learning. His aim, however, had been to find a via media between old and new; his essential conservatism resulted in a lack of sympathy for the revolutionary attitude of the Reformers.

Aldine device on title leaf of first volume & verso of last leaf of volume three. Giovanni Pontano (1429-1503) humanist, diplomat, scholar, and poet. He was the driving forces behind the Neaploitan Academy and its official leader after 1471. He was secretary of state in Naples in 1486. He was also considered to be able to write pastoral poetry as good as, or superior to, his classical models.#11;"Like Ficino, Pontano undoubtedly acquired his taste for astrology early in life. His first teacher was Gregorius Tifernas, a master of the Greek tongue but, nonetheless, an adept in astrology. When Pontano came first to Naples, he met Lorenzo Bonincontri, who was, next to Pontano, the greatest astrological poet of the Italian Quattrocento....The earliest astrological compositions of Pontano are the translation of and commentary on the preudo-Ptolemaic Centiloquio and the early books of the De rebus coelestibus...As one turns over the pages of the De rebus coelestibus one is struck by the fact that one is reading a handbook of social psychology as well as a textbook of astrology...he took the view that the perfect, incorruptible skies had a shaping power over the corruptible sublunary matter...Pontano passes over the spiritual element, the divine soul...It is this startling silence that turns Pontano's astrological system into a milestone in the history of social psychology. Pontano''s theory that the matter of man is inclined by stellar influences establishes the necessity of a horoscope. If one knows in advance what one's inclinations are, one can shape one's character according to these dispositions if they are good, and check those weaknesses that are unsocial...In this book Pontano defends astrology vigorously by showing that the sciences of which Pico approved are filled with errors, and by asserting that astrology is the most certain science. " [Don Cameron Allen, The Star-Crossed Renaissance,1941.]#11;Nostradamus quotes his first proposition of the commentary on pseudo-Ptolemy: 'Soli numine divino afflati praesagiunt & spiritu prophetico particularia' ['Only those inspired by the divine godhead can prophesy, and only those inspired by the spirit of prophecy can prophesy detailed events' .#11; EDIT 16 cnce 47484.

APIAN
Eyn Newe unnd wohlgegr�ndte underweysung aller Kauffmans Rechnung in dreyen b�chen, mit sch�nen Regeln un
      A very attractive copy of the first edition of Apianus's Kauffmans Rechnung. This is the second arithmetic textbook written in German (preceded only by the 1518 work of Grammateus/Heinrich Schreiber), notable both for the rendering of Pascal's triangle on the title page-a century before Pascal studied it himself-and for its inclusion by Holbein in his famous double portrait "The Ambassadors." Clearly a much-used resource of a sixteenth-century merchant, this copy is bound with two early German-Latin dictionaries, and offered in its original blind-tooled binding, dated 1531.In addition to containing the first known appearance of the Pascal triangle ("some years before Stifel mentioned it"), Smith heralds the Kauffmans Rechnung for its depiction of line reckoning, also on the title (Rara Arithmetica, p. 156). John Glenn notes that Apianus's "method of division introduces... decimal fractions, nearly a century before Stevinus produced his treatise on them"; admitting however that the notation, where halves, quarters and eighths are written as 05, 025 and multiples of 0125, seems "rather clumsy" (Glenn, LRB Letters vol. 25, no. 6).The Kauffmans Rechnung covers the six basic mathematical operations (including roots up to eight, "casting out nines," and several contemporary methods of division), interest calculations, rates of exchange, counters, and other mercantile applications. Apianus, who drew upon Christoff Rudolff's 1525 algebraic work, also touches on all manner of commerce, FROM MINING TO THE SPICE TRADE, and discusses the "foreign" techniques employed in Florence. He includes many sample questions for practice. Part Two contains a chapter on the "Regula virginum," explaining how to calculate the varying wages of men, women, maidens and young children. Hans Holbein included the first edition of the Rechnung in his 1533 painting "The Ambassadors"; the small, partly open book appears on the lower shelf to the left of the famous anamorphic skull, open to a page that begins with the word dividirt (f. [Q8]v). OCLC lists only two copies of this first edition: Columbia and U. Chicago. Bound with Apianus's work are two bilingual dictionaries, the first an anonymous work directed at children that begins with a list of Latin and German syllables, followed by the Ten Commandments, Lord's Prayer and other devout passages. It contains 55 pages of vocabulary, where each German term is accompanied by a group of three letters and a number (g m d 2, g f d 3, etc.)-a type of shorthand, perhaps identifying the relevant parts of speech? (DigiBib lists a 1536 edition also from Wittemberg.) The second dictionary in this sammelband is an early edition of Sebald Heyden's popular Nomenclatura rerum domesticarum. Although this boasts more vocabulary words-each page features two double-columned lists-it lacks the handy bilingual subheadings. * Smith, Rara p. 155; Ortroy 67; VD16 A3094; Cantor pp. 401-5; John Glenn, London Review of Books, vol. 25 no. 6 (20 March 2003) http://www.lrb.co.uk/v25/n06/letters.html; http:// employees. oneonta.edu/farberas/arth/ARTH214/Ambassadors_Home.html

      Pamphilus Gegenback, Basel 1518 - Modern wrappers 4to . New 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 dedicatory letter's date has been changed from 1516 to 1518. OCLC locates only one copy at the Bridwell Library at SMU [16].

PANTHEO, Giovanni Agostino
Voarchadumia contra alchimiam: ars distincta ab archimia, et sophia: cum additionibus, proportionibus, numeris et figuris opportunis Ioannis Augustini Panthei Veneti sacerdotis
      4to, ff. 69; title and f. 2v printed in four colours (yellow, green, red and gold, the gold oxidised), title within a woodcut architectural border printed in black and yellow, two headlines (f. 7r and f. 8v) printed in yellow, with a double-page map of Venice and 11 full-page woodcut illustrations; without the final blank; contemporary marginal annotation in margin of f. 42r and some early underlining; some light soiling, part of fore-edge of title cut away and neatly repaired (not affecting image); old vellum. First edition, first issue of this rare alchemical work, highly unusual for its early use of four-colour printing. !There is an augmented issue with four leaves inserted between the title leaf and A2 - the first a blank, the others numbered 0, 00 and 1' (Mortimer).Pantheo was a Venetian priest who published, in 1518 the alchemical Ars transmutationis metallicae. !Portions of this were reproduced in the Voarchadumia in 1530, but [it] is quite a distinct work and is much enlarged. Pantheus wrote against spurious alchemy and he deals partly with the assay of gold, which is illustrated by drawings of rolling mills, furnaces of various sorts with the accompanying apparatus and a balance and weights, and partly with the chemical preparation of various substances which were made at Venice in his time and were used in the arts. He describes, for example, the manufacture of white lead and of an alloy for mirrors ... Pantheus was a priest of Venice, but seems nevertheless to have been devoted to chemical research. The word Voarchadumia - barbarous, as it has been styled by some writers - is compounded, according to the author himself, of a Chaldee word signifying gold, and of a Hebrew expression meaning "out of two rubies", and he explains it all as equivalent to "gold of two perfect cementations", that is, thoroughly refined' (Ferguson).!It seems probable that, after the publication of [the Ars transmutationis metallicae], someone called to the attention of its author or the papal court or the Venetian government the existence of a papal decretal and a decree of Venice against alchemists. For in 1530 Pantheus brought out with the same printer at Venice a book entitled Voarchadumia ... As [the] title suggests, he now professed to be writing not on alchemy but on Voarchadumia, an art distinct from alchemy. This Voarchadumia he represented as true wisdom, the very opposite of alchemy, a sort of "cabala of metals", handed down from Tubal Cain through the Chaldeans and Indians ... The work opens with prefaces to the doge and to the papal legate. Yet he repeats most of his work of 1518 in the course of the Voarchadumia. The volume also includes woodcuts of alchemical furnaces and apparatus and a bird's-eye view of Venice and its surroundings' (Thorndike, A history of magic and experimental science V, pp. 539-40).In the margin of f. 38r is printed a symbol which is strikingly similar to that used by John Dee in his Monas hieroglyphica. Dee owned and extensively annotated a copy of the Voarchadumia and it seems likely that his symbol, which first appears on the title of the Propaedeumata aphoristica in 1558 and then, most famously, in the Monas hieroglyphica of 1564, is derived from Pantheo's. !For Dee it was a powerful symbol both of creation and of the unity of the sciences' (Oxford DNB).*Caillet 8275; Duveen p. 449; Ferguson II p. 166; Mortimer 354; Neu 3044; [Olschki 4981]; Rosenthal 649; [Sander 5407].

VERVLIET, Hendrik D. L.
The Palaeotypography of the French Renaissance. Selected Papers on Sixteenth-Century Typefaces. Two volumes.
      Brill Publications, 2008, octavo, cloth in dust jackets. viii, 1-286 pp.; vi, 287-565 pp. First Edition. This collection of thirteen essays examines sixteenth-century type design in France. Typefaces developed during this period were to influence decisively the typography of the centuries which followed, and they continue to influence a great many contemporary typefaces. The papers' common goal is to establish the paternity of the typefaces described and critically to appraise their attributions, many of which have previously been inadequately ascribed. Such an approach will be of interest to type historians and type designers seeking better-documented attributions, and to historians, philologists, and bibliographers, whose study of historical imprints will benefit from more accurate type descriptions. The papers and illustrations focus on the most important letter-cutters of the French Renaissance, including Simon de Colines, Robert Estienne, Claude Garamont, Robert Granjon, Pierre Haultin, and also include a number of minor masters of the period. VOLUME I: Preface; Introduction; Abbreviations and Conventional Signs; Old English and French Names for Body Sizes; Early Sixteenth-Century Parisian Roman Types; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Roman Types by Body Size; Simon de Colines, Punchcutter; 1518–1546 Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Colines’s Types by Letter Family and Size; The Printing Types of the Young Robert I Estienne; 1526–1530; Robert Estienne’s Printing Types; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Estienne’s Types by Family and Body Size; Table 2: Estienne’s Types by Year of First Occurrence; Garamont’s Canons: Roman Type Design in Sixteenth-Century France; The Young Garamont: Roman Types Made in Paris in the 1530s; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Types in Order of First Occurrence; Table 2: Types Classified by Punchcutter; Roman Types by Robert Granjon; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Granjon’s Romans by Date; Table 2: Granjon’s Romans by Body Size; Printing Types of Pierre Haultin; c. 1510–1587; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Haultin’s Typefaces in Order of Date and Place of First Appearance. VOLUME II: Early Paris Italics; 1512–1549; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Types by Body Size; The Italics of Robert Granjon; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Granjon’s Italics by Style; Table 2: Granjon’s Italics by Body Size; Greek Typefaces of the Early French Renaissance: The Predecessors of the Grecs du Roy; Conspectus of Types; Greek Printing Types of the French Renaissance: The ‘Grecs du Roy’ and Their Successors Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Greek Types by Body Size; Table 2: Greek Types by Date of First Appearance; Cyrillic & Oriental Typography in Rome at the End of the Sixteenth Century: An Inquiry into the Later Work of Robert Granjon; 1578–1590; Conspectus of Types; Table 1: Types in Order of First Occurrence; List of Typefaces Cited or Discussed; References; Index.

      Leipzig, Melchior Lotter 1518.. 23 cm. 12 unnumerierte Blatt mit Holzschnitt-Titelbordüre von Heinrich Vogtherr d. Ä. Mod. Halbmaroquin-Band mit goldgeprägtem Rückentitel. - Luther, Titeleinf. 18 - Pflugk-H. / Claus 22 - Schottenl. Bibl. 10919a - VD16 L 4458 - Erste in Deutschland gedruckte Ausgabe mit der Urfassung der 95 Thesen, wahrscheinlich von Luther selbst veranlaßt. Luther sandte die handschriftliche Fassung seiner Thesen zunächst nach Mainz an Erzbischof Albrecht von Brandenburg, der sie an die Kurie nach Rom weiterleitete. Sie wurden dort dem Dominikaner Silvestro Mazzolini aus Priero (genannt Prieras) zur Prüfung übergeben. Dieser verfaßte in drei Tagen das vorliegende Gutachten, in dem er alle 95 Thesen Luthers abdruckte und mit seiner jeweiligen Entgegnung versah. Dieses erschien zuerst in Rom und gelangte bald an Luther, der in zwei Tagen eine scharfe Erwiderung unter dem Titel "Ad dialogum Silvestri Prieratis de potestate papae responsio" schrieb, wie er Spalatin in einem Brief am 21. August 1518 mitteilt (ausführlich in: Köstlin / Kawerau, Luther I, 192ff; Honselmann, Urfassung und Drucke der Ablaßthesen Martin Luthers und ihre Veröffentlichung, S. 51ff und 135ff).

The editions were prepared and translated by John Argyropulus (1416-86), Greek humanist who was a very active promoter of the revival of learning in the West. Born in Constantinople, he was invited to Florence by Cosimo de' Medici, and was there appointed professor of Greek in the university. He left for Rome in 1471 where he continued to teach. He was highly esteemed as a translator of Aristotle. Johann Eck (1486-1543), best known as Luther's greatest opponent, was professor and chancellor at Ingolstadt for thirty years. He is a representative of the scholastic humanists, who were loyal supporters of the Church, while they were also eager for a revival of classical learning, and a new system of education. About 1515, the Duke of Bavaria established a commission to find means for ending the interminable strife between the rival academic parties at the University of Ingolstadt, and entrusted Eck with the preparation of fresh commentaries on Aristotle and Petrus Hispanus. These works became the standard text books of the university. The commentaries were inspired with much of the scientific spirit of the New Learning, but Eck had no sympathy with the revolutionary attitude of the Reformers (see Encyc. Brit.) .

One of only 125 copies issued as part of a highly important set along with 49 similar works. [ Never before sold separately - only previously sold as part of complete sets to major world libraries ]. * the texts in the series HISTORIC ACCOUNTING LITERATURE expound and develop the art of book-keeping in the 350 years after Pacioli's seminal Summa de Arithmetica. They show how patterns and conventions were established, and how the following generations built on them in turn. As this body of knowledge accumulated, it became the framework for commercial dealings. Most of these works were intended for the instruction of students and apprentices, or for the use of book-keepers and merchants. The original copies are in the library of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in London, whose holdings in the fields of book-keeping and accountancy are the finest in the world. Most are of the utmost rarity & extremely fragile. Probably the only opportunity to acquire this text in a superbly produced edition, , whose original has so rarely been offered for sale in useful condition, and probably never will be again.

Bel exemplaire, relié par David pour le compte du grand collectionneur, le baron Achille Seillière, avec ses armes sur les plats: "Château de Mello". Brunet 5, 900 (qui cite seulement un exemplaire vendu en 1839). Fairfax-Murray 512. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

ANGELUS, Johannes (1463-1512).
Tractat von der Pestilentz Joanni Engel, der Freyen künsten vnd artzney Doctor, auss der leer der Doctorn der artzney vnd Astronomey gezogen.
      - Kl.-4to. Mit halbseitigem Titelholzschnitt von Hans Weiditz. [11] Bl. Flexibler Pergamentband. (Augsburg, [Sigmund Grimm und Marx Wirsung], 4. November 1518). Erstausgabe. Als einzige vorwiegend medizinische Schrift erschien sechs Jahre nach dem Tod des Arztes, Astrologen, Mathematikers und Schriftstellers Johannes Angelus (auch Engel oder Angeli) dieses äusserst seltene Pest-Traktat in Augsburg. Wie die allermeisten Pestabhandlungen seit der Mitte des 15. Jhs. stellt die Schrift eine Kompilation aus Fragmenten früherer Werke, wie z.B. aus jenem des Bruders Chrysogonus Krapf aus dem Kloster Tegernsee dar. Das Pestregiment gliedert sich in drei Teile: Der erste erklärt die Ursache der Seuche, der zweite führt zehn Merkmale auf, die erkennen lassen, ob jemand an der Pest erkrankt ist und der dritte Abschnitt gibt den Infizierten Anleitung zum richtigen Verhalten. Wie andere Pesttraktate der Zeit bietet auch das vorliegende Pestregiment die sechs Grundbedingungen einer gesundheitsbewahrend-diätetischen Lebensführung: die Beachtung von Licht und Luft, Speise und Trank, Bewegung und Ruhe, Schlafen und Wachen, Füllung und Entleerung sowie Regulierung der Leidenschaften und Zufälle des Gemütes. Der Verfasser war im Jahr 1492 zum ersten Dozenten ('Lector ordinarius') für Mathematik und Astronomie an der Universität von Regensburg ernannt worden, fünf Jahre später wird er als Magister und Angehöriger der Medizinischen Fakultät der Universität Würzburg geführt. Danach praktizierte er einige Zeit in Krems als Arzt um schliesslich, in der Tradition seines Lehrers Johannes Regiomontanus, als Mathematiker und Astronom in Wien zu unterrichten. Der in klarem Abdruck vorliegende, Hans Weiditz zugeschriebene, halbseitige Titelholzschnitt zeigt eine prächtige Darstellung des Aderlasses. Der revulsive (ableitende) Aderlass stellte in der Frühzeit, nebst dem Schröpfen, eine durchaus erfolgreiche Behandlungsmethode gegen die Pestilenz dar, ehe sich dann die durch Autoren wie Heinrich Steinhöwel oder Konrad Schwestermüller propagierten operativen Verfahren durchsetzten. - Minimale Flecken und Bräunung, ein vorzügliches und breitrandiges Exemplar. VD 16, E-1198 (7 Ex.: BSB München, UB Würzburg, PSB Berlin, UB Jena, Bibliothek Otto Schäfer, OeNB Wien und Ratsschulbibliothek Zwickau); Wellcome I, 311; Bethesda National Library of Medicine (Online Kat.), WZ 240 A588t 1518; Waller 2755 (inkomplett); Roloff, Die deutsche Literatur zwischen 1450 und 1620 III, S. 176 und S. 178, Nr. 1.16.01 (weist 10 Exemplare nach); Wickersheimer, Note sur Johannes Engel (Angeli) d'Aichach . , in: Académie Royale de Belgique, Bulletin de la classe des lettres (1928), S. 320f. Nicht in Köhler. First edition of this exceedingly rare tract on the plague, the author's only predominant medical writing published. As most of such tracts it was compiled from other writing on the subject such as that of Fray Chrysogonus Krapf in Tegernsee. The astrologer, physician and writer Johannes Angelus (also Engel or Angeli) had become the first lecturer (Lector ordinarius) in mathematics and astronomy at the new university in Regensburg. Five years later he became a member of the medical faculty in Würzburg. After he had practiced as a physician in Krems Angelus finally teached in the tradition of Johannes Regiomontanus as an astronomer and mathematician in Vienna. In the first of three parts of this tract the author explains the cause and effects of the plague. The second chapter lists ten distinguishing marks, and the third offers instruction to the proper behaviour. The title leaf with a half-page woodcut depicting a blood letting scene by Hans Weiditz, pupil of Albrecht Dürer. - Minimal stains and browning; an excellent copy with wide margi [Attributes: First Edition]

FOLIETA UBERTUS
Clarorum ligorum elogia. Genuae, ex Officina Hieronymi Bartoli, 1588
      - Cm. 25, pp. (8) 265 (3). Marchio tip. al frontespizio ed alcuni splendidi capilettera xilografici. Bella legatura coeva in piena perg. molle con titoli ms. al dorso. Alone alle prime ed ultime (in questo caso assolutamente marginale) cc., qualche trascurabile e sporadica fioritura, peraltro esemplare fresco e marginoso, nel complesso ben conservato.

Allontanato dalla Repubblica, fu in seguito al servizio di Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia e del cardinale Ippolito d'Este. Revocato il bando, nel 1576 rientrò a Genova, dove fu nominato storiografo della Repubblica. Quest'opera raccoglie gli elogi di oltre 150 illustri personaggi genovesi e liguri. Non comune. Cfr. Lozzi, I, 2275; Iccu; non in Brunet e Graesse. (S114)
