Epigrammata.

Basle, J. Froben,1520. FIRST EDITION thus. 4to. pp. 115 (i). Roman letter, some Greek. Fine white on black woodcut historiated initials (one eight line), superb woodcut title border by Hans Holbein the younger, "at head, boys playing, and at foot, the story of C. Mucius Scaevola and King Porsenna. On the right hand Mucius, a young Roman who had made his way into the Etruscan camp, is represented slaying the secretary of Porsenna in mistake for the king himself; on the left he is seen thrusting his hand itto the fire in order to show his indifference to the order that he should be burnt alive. In the background is Rome, during the siege of which by Porsenna the incidents are said to have occurred. [Livy ii 12]" (McKerrow and Ferguson 8, on the copy used in England.) Froben's large woodcut Asclepius device on verso of last, some contemporary marginalia, two contemporary ms. ownership inscriptions on verso of last, "Edmund Pulleyn .. his book." and "codicis estis possesor nomine dritos", Chatsworth library bookplate on pastedown. Some light, mostly marginal, waterstaining, large light oil splash on two ll, verso of last browned and dusty, occasional marginal thumb mark. A very good, well margined, copy in English mottled calf c. 1800, covers bordered with double gilt rule, spine with raised bands, richly gilt in compartments, inner dentelles gilt, a.e.r. First separate, best and definitive edition of the Epigrams of St. Thomas More, beautifully printed by Froben with superb woodcut decoration by Hans Holbein the younger. More translated epigrams from the 'Greek Anthology' of Maximos Planudes into Ciceronian Latin which, after circulating in manuscript, were collected by Erasmus and twice printed by Froben in 1518 (with the third edition of More's Utopia and a different collection of epigrams of a more sober and religious nature by Erasmus). They were first published separately in 1520 in this edition which was substantially revised by More for its first independent appearance and presents quite a different text. Three of the epigrams which appeared in the 1518 printing are omitted and thirteen new ones added. This is the edition on which all subsequent editions were based. More's Epigrammata is divided in two parts; in the 'Progymnasmata', the first part, he vied with Lily for the aptest rendering of epigrams from the 'Greek Anthology' into Latin and in the 'Epigrammata' proper he composed his own epigrams. In the dedicatory letter to the German humanist Willibald Pirckheimer, Beatus Rhenanus (a well known editor of classical texts, an associate of Froben, and a friend of both Erassmus and Pirckheimer) writes glowingly about More and his epigrams praising his wit, language, style, learning and ability as both translator and composer. Little is known about when and why the poems were first written or how they first circulated though they seem to have been written over a period of as much as twenty years. In them More reworks material from many classical writers and weaves in biblical texts, adapts traditional jests, Aesopic fables, and translates two near contemporaneous English love lyrics. His topics are extremely diverse and his range much broader than his fellow humanists, though he eschews a favorite renaissance type, the erotic epigram. At one extreme he writes about foolish astrologers, prostitutes, cuckolds, a frenchified courtier; at the other there are reflections upon kingship, government, the brevity of life and death. In mood too the epigrams vary tremendously. There are jokes, slapstick comedy, scatology, satiric jabs, expressions of friendship, ironic reflections, lyric moments and epitaphs. More also enjoyed writing variations upon a theme as in his seven epigrams upon two beggars, one blind and one lame, who are each others support. There are a wide range of addressees including several to Henry VIII, humanist friends, his children, a fat priest, a woman More loved long ago, the Archbishops of York and Canterbury and in some instances himself, along with dramatic dialogues and monologues. The epigram on Wolsey is remarkable as a dedicatory epigram by proxy, begging the Cardinal's acceptance of Erasmus' New Testament of 1516. They were frequently reprinted over the next two hundred years and indeed long rivaled More's Utopia in popularity. "(it is the) vivid interest in life in all its aspects that makes More's Epigrammata incomparably the best book of Latin epigrams in the sixteenth century" Leicster Bradner. A very good copy from the Duke of Devonshire's great library at Chatsworth. BM STC C16 Ger. p. 860. Adams M 1753. Gibson 57. Lowndes II 1606. L1072.

ILLUMINTED MANUSCRIPT
PROCESSIONAL, for the use of Dominican nuns, in Latin and French, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM.
|
[France, c.1520 and 1674]. - Small folio. (225 x 158mm) COLLATION: 69 leaves: iv +18, 23(ii a singleton), 310(vii and viii a bifolium), 42, 5-64, 72, 88, 96, 10-144, pagination 1-132 followed here, pp.i-iv, pp.35-40, pp.65 and pp.83-134 are all part of the 1674 remodelling, when pp.133 and 134 were left blank, nine lines of music of square notation on a four-line stave of red between nine lines written in black ink in a gothic bookhand, justification: 193 x 108mm, rubrics in red, capitals touched yellow, original leaves with two-line initials of liquid gold on grounds of brick-red or blue and gold decoration within the rubrics, antiphons opening with either fine two-line illuminated initials with monochrome staves against grounds of liquid gold, usually with a flower-sprig as an infill, or with two-line black calligraphic initials with yellow wash. ILLUMINATIONS: TWELVE LARGE HISTORIATED INITIALS with staves of liquid gold against grounds of red and blue, the biblical scenes in full colour and highlighted with liquid gold, TWO FULL-PAGE ILLUMINATED BORDERS, one of renaissance architectural forms, the other containing the standing figures of saints between flower-sprays against a liquid gold ground; the later leaves of the same format but with up to 28 lines on text-only pages, and restricted to two-line initials of red (borders rubbed, three historiated initials smudged, text erased and replaced, some text alterations made by pasting on updatings). BINDING: Contemporary calf, panelled in blind with spine gilt in six compartments and with red morocco lettering-piece (some rubbing). PROVENANCE: 1. The presence of three Dominican saints in the border of p.41 and the provision for the procession on the feast of St Dominic, p.61, suggest that the manuscript was originally made for the use of a Dominican convent. The style of illumination indicates that the manuscript was made in Rouen around 1425. 2. The title-page identifies the manuscript as 'Pour le Chantre du Royal Monastere de S. Mathieu dit les Eminurées . Rouen' in the year 1674. The manuscript does contain the chants for the feasts of the Dedication of the Church and St Louis of France -- founder of S. Mathieu -- processions that the introduction says are specific to that convent, but it is unlikely that it was originally intended for the use of the precentress there. The manuscript was extensively modified in order to customise it, and other feasts specifically marked with a procession at the convent of S. Mathieu are part of the later additions, or, in the case of St Matthew, an adaptation of the feast for the Common of an Apostle. 3. M. Ribard, rue Morand [Rouen]: his label inside the upper cover. 4. Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872): Ms 4393 (spine label and inscribed on flyleaf), bought from Royez; British Library, Loan 36/18. CONTENT: Prefatory instructions ff.ii-iv; Table of contents ff.iv verso; chants for the processions on the following feasts: Purification of the Virgin, Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Ascension, Corpus Christi, Dedication of the Church, St Dominic, Assumption, St Louis, King of France, St Matthew, All Souls' Day, St Adrian, St Roch pp.1-97; Offices for taking the veil, for the burial of the Dead and the Office of the Dead, Antiphon of St Barbara pp.97-132; chants in honour of the Virgin added in a slightly later hand pp. 133-134. The Processional has undergone extensive remodelling from its original form. This may have been to bring it into line both with post-Tridentine usage and the liturgical requirements of S. Mathieu at Rouen. Sections of text and music have been erased and replaced with detailed instructions and rubrics in French, often evoking a vivid picture of the ritual of religious life. ILLUMINATION: The historiated initials are the work of the illuminator known as the Master of Girard Acarie from his work in the splendid copy of the Roman de la Rose that Acarie presented to François I around 1525: Margareta Friesen, Der Rosenroman für Fra

THE COMPLETE RIPLEY NOVELS: THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY, RIPLEY UNDER GROUND, RIPLEY'S GAME, THE BOY WHO FOLLOWED RIPLEY, RIPLEY UNDER WATER Scarce Pristine Copy of The Omnibus Edition.
|
New York City, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, 2008.. . Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 1520 pages. As New. Retrospective Uniform Edition of the author's Ripley novels. One of the greatest American novel-series of the 20th century. The first appearance of the titles in this Uniform-Edition format. Published in a small and limited print run as a hardcover set only. A brilliant production by W. W. Norton: Regular-sized volume format. The set weighs 7 pounds. Pictorial hard boards with titles printed around the cover, as issued. Text by Patricia Highsmith. Matching hard board slipcase. The slipcase comes with black hard board "book ends" inserted within. Printed on acid-free paper in the United States to the very highest standards. Without DJ's, as issued. Presents Patricia Highsmith's single greatest creation, Tom Ripley, one of the most fully realized and unique characters in American literature, in the most handsome, modern, and textually definitive format for our time. Ripley is irresistible as the embodiment of amorous amorality. Don't take our word for it because even the staid NYT thinks so: "Forces us to re-evaluate the lines between reason and madness, normal and abnormal, while goading us into sharing her treacherous hero's point of view" (The New York Times). Indeed, and quite an acknowledgment from the conventionally moralistic newspaper. "The Talented Mr. Ripley" was the basis of a very fine film by Anthony Minghella, with Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jude Law. "Ripley's Game" became the basis of yet another fine film, by the great Italian director Liliana Cavani, with John Malkovich as the older (and more assured) Tom Ripley. Alfred Hitchcock was among the first to see Highsmith's genius and adapted her debut novel, "Strangers On a Train", into one of his greatest films. A magnificent collection, this is a "must-have" edition for Patricia Highsmith collectors. This title is now collectible. This is one of few copies of the First Omnibus Edition still available online and has no flaws, pristine beauties. The individual novels, particularly "The Talented Mr. Ripley", command hundreds to thousands of dollars online. This is an exquisite and accessible alternative in every sense. A scarce copy thus. Regarded by Gore Vidal as "one of our great modernist writers". One of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. A flawless set. (SEE ALSO OTHER PATRICIA HIGHSMITH TITLES IN OUR CATALOG).

BOEMUS, Joannes.
Repertorium librorum trium Ioannis Boemi de omnium gentium ritibus.
|
[Colophon: Augsburg, Sigismund Grimm & Marcus Wirsung], 1520. - Folio (305 x 210 mm), ff. [6], LXXXI, without the final blank; title within an elegant historiated woodcut border; light water-stain or browning in last few leaves, small repaired damage in title (not affecting printed area); later vellum. First edition of the ?first, or at least one of the first, Renaissance collections of manners and customs . . . . Boemus made his simple purposes very clear. There were two of them. He wished, first, to make accessible to the ordinary reader an already not inconsiderable body of knowledge concerning the variety of human behavior, to arrange it on a broad geographical plan, with the geographical features subordinated to the ethnological, and to use the printed page, as others had employed the "cabinet de curiosités", for assembling and exhibiting the range of human custom, ritual, and ceremony. Second, in the interest of improved political morality, he desired to inform his readers concerning the laws and governments of other nations . . . . [His] "histories" or descriptions, written at about the same time as Machiavelli?s Prince, were intended not only to instruct his readers concerning the laws and governments of other nations, but to make it possible for them to form intelligent judgements as to "what orders and institutions" were "fittest to be ordayned" in their own lands for the establishment of perfect peace. With the ancient customs of the classical peoples spread out for contemplation and comparison, together with those of more recent practice, Boemus felt certain that Europeans could readily decide between the socially good and socially bad . . . . [The book] was an instant success, and widely consulted for well over a hundred years. Some measure of its interest to the reading public of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries may be inferred from the number of reissues, revisions, and translations . . . . Boemus was read by Montaigne, and may have helped to shape his ideas on the diversity of custom . . . . Moreover, as a collector of customs, Boemus initiated a literary and ethnological genre which has lived on vigorously until the present day . . . . But selected as they were from a scattered body of cultural observations in many ancient sources, this collection of ethnological traits, rituals, and ceremonies . . . throws a revealing light not only upon the concept of culture entertained by Boemus and his contemporaries but upon his idea of the classes or categories into which the traits of peoples might conceivably and usefully be assembled for closer analysis. With the clear intention of isolating major social institutions for inspection, and with some degree of orderliness, Boemus placed special emphasis on divergences in marriage and the family, divergences in social organization, in religions, funeral rites, weapons, warfare, justice, diet, and apparel . . . . The nations most fully described by Boemus were those at the farthest remove from sixteenth-century Europe . . . . Not only was far-off India favored with an amplitude of detail, but his descriptions, reflecting admiration not unmixed with incredulity, reflect also, as in a mirror, the contemporary standard of the socially good, the ultimate criterion of true civility . . . . It was impossible for [Boemus] to collect the customs of mankind without being confounded by their diversity. It was impossible for him to consider the problem of ethnological diversity as though Genesis had never been written. Yet, it is plain throughout that the Biblical solution was not enough . . . . While he refrained from adopting a theory of multiple human creations, with its corollary of original cultural diversification, he allowed himself on more than one occasion to deviate radically from the Mosaic solution. For example, he can be discovered installing the "first men" in at least two different regions. In conformity with certain classical habits of thought, they were set down in Ethiopia, where the gods were "first honoured", and sacred

FREGOSO Antonio
Opera noua, laqual tratta dei doi Philosophi: cioè Democrito che rideva dele pacie di questo mondo: e Heraclyto che piangeva de le miserie humane.
|
(In fine:) Venetia, Alessandro & Benedetto Bindoni, 1520, in-8, ff. (47, su 48, titolo facsimilato su carta antica). Legatura poster. m. perg. Purtroppo manca il frontesp. con la figura dei due filosofi (qui aggiunto in fac-simile, vedi riproduz. Essling n. 1783); alcune iniz. silogr. su fondo nero. La dedica a "Monsignore Iafredo Carlo Iureconsulto: Presidente del Delphinato: & del Regio Senato in Milano", datata 15 nov. 1505, è uguale alla seconda delle due che compaiono nella prima ediz. del 1506. Il testo si compone di 30 capitoli di terzine, quindici per il "Riso de Democrito" e quindici per il "Pianto de Heraclyto" che inizia al recto del f. E2. Di notevole curiosità e stranezza è l'inusuale segnatura del primo quaderno comprendente le due lettere abbinate (AB), inducendo in errore più d'un bibliografo. Infatti Essling (n. 1783) e Sander (I, 2940) indicano 56 ff. perché, secondo noi, nel vedere la segnatura fino alla lettera G, hanno calcolato tout-court 7 quaderni per 8 fogli, ottenendo il totale di 56. Olschki (Choix IV, 4574) ed ICCU, invece, attribuiscono correttamente all'opera 48 fogli. Trattasi, come si è detto, di due poemetti-visione, ciascuno in quindici capitoli di terzine: «Il primo, attraverso un impianto e un lessico di intonazione dantesca, ma con qualche locuzione comune ai poeti realisti toscani, introduce l’autore alle bellezze di un giardino e dopo l’incontro con Diogene e Platone, il protagonista si abbevera agli zampilli che sgorgano dal seno di una statua nutrice di quei “divi”, la Filosofia. Nel Pinato di Heraclito il F., condotto da Dianeo, giunge dal filosofo che alimenta una fonte di lacrime. Egli descrive la vita come un progredire di affanni da cui il piacere di amore e il timore della morte non ci fa separare. L'unico rimedio che lascia intravedere riposa nelle poche vere amicizie» (DBIt., vol. 50, p.383). Il Fregoso, nato forse a Genova o più probabilmente a Carrara intorno al 1460 e morto dopo il 1532, fu valente poeta, autore di sonetti burleschi e poemetti allegorici di notevole fama; visse per lo più a Milano, prima alla corte di Ludovico il Moro e poi in una villa di campagna, in perfetta solitudine (donde il nome d’arte “Fileremo”).

LUTHER, MARTIN
Adversus execrabilem Antichristi bullam
|
[Melchior Lotter?] - [November 4], 1520. First Edition. The year 1520 was one of the most important in life of Martin Luther. In January of that year the Roman Inquisiton re-opened its case against him, and in the spring Luther wrote 'A Treatise of Good Works', 'The Papacy in Rome', and 'An Open Letter to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation'. Sensing that punitive measures were imminient, on June 11 Luther received an offer of protection from over 100 knights. On June 15 Pope Leo X issued his Bull of Excommunication titled 'Exsurge Domine' which gave Luther 60 days to recant or be excommunicated from the Church. In September Johann Eck, the Catholic emissary of the Pope, traveled through-out Saxony posting the bull of excommunication. Meanwhile Luther was writing one of his most famous works 'The Babylonian Captivity of the Church' in which he attacks numerous practices of the Catholic Church. On the 10th of October Luther received the papal Bull and on the 4th of November Luther published the titled being offered here, 'Adversus execrabilem Antichrist bullam', as a response to the Bull. A month later Luther burned the Bull, along with numerous Catholic ecclesiastical books, under an oak tree outside the walls of the city of Wittemberg. 4to, 10 leaves. Signatures A-[C2]. Newly rebound in full calf with gilt lettering on spine, tape repair on A3, miniscule circular mark on A3-C2. From the library of the Episcopalian minister Phillip Brooks (1835-1893).

Venice: Gulielmum de Fontaneto de Monteferrato, 1520. Folio. ff. [6], CCXXXIIII. Title in red and black inside ornamental wood cut border. Printed in Roman type. Text contains 12 woodcuts and numerous decorative initials of various styles and sizes. Horace's verse is surrounded by commentary. Rebound in modern speckled calf. Leaves rinsed in distilled water (no chemicals used); mild spotting and staining remain - including areas in the first two signatures of transparent gray smudging (perhaps a printing / manufacturing error).

Outer edges of text-block left untrimmed after last re-sewing. Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65-8 bce) is considered one of the greatest Roman poets.

BOOK OF HOURS
Leaf from a Book of Hours
|
1520. (BOOK OF HOURS). Illuminated manuscript leaf from a Book of Hours. France, circa 1525. Single vellum leaf (3-1/2 by 6 inches), in black, gold, blue and red inks. $350. Attractive illuminated leaf from a French Book of Hours. The text is from the end of Canticum Moisis (Exodus 15:1-19) and most of Canticum Habacuc (Habacuc 3:2-19). Scribed in 24lines in dark brown and red inks in a gothic script, with one two-line and seven one-line initials on fields of red, blue and gold and line extenders in red, blue and gold. Although this leaf is probably from a Book of Hours, it is possibly from a Psalter ending with two Old Testament canticles used liturgically. The verso is very similar. A lovely leaf.

- (61), (3 blank) pp. Knuttel 1235; Karlsruher Virt. Kat. (1 copy? issue unclear); OCLC WorldCat (1 copy); NCC (1 copy); STCN (2 copies); not in Van Alphen, Pamfletten; Broekema, Pamfletten; Carter & Vervliet; Simoni; Tiele, Pamfletten; Van der Wulp. First issue of rare pamphlet produced for internal use by the Leiden city government opposing a tax on carrots, cabbage, onions, lettuce, beans and other garden produce, and including texts from relevant proclamations by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1520 and 1529, a decision of the Holland States Assembly on 13 December 1602, and the advice of the Provincial Council in the Hague on 18 March 1603. The whole was printed on the press set up in Leiden's city hall by the city clerk, Jan van Hout, and the title-page explicitly notes that it was printed in only a small number of copies for the city's official representatives at a meeting of the Holland States Assembly ("Alles in weynich exemplaren, om alleenlicken onder den steden en(de) leden ter vergaderinge vande Mo. E. Heeren Staten plaetse ende voys hebbende, te werden gedistribueert"). As a result the pamphlet is very rare. It is also of considerable typographic interest for its four civilité types (two used for extensive sections) and initials. It is not in Carter & Vervliet, which records only one Van Hout publication that uses all four of his civilité types (in 1602). The 3-line Text (about 51 point) initials used with the largest civilités may also be printed from cast type, for they are clearly a larger size of one whose matrices survive (Carter & Vervliet, p. 87: one letter from the larger series appears in fig. 24 on p. 50) and both sets were first used, as far as is known, in a 1576 book published by Willem Silvius in 1587. Van Hout's excellent press-work and choice of high quality Troyes paper (at least three stocks, one made by Edmon(d) Denise and one by the Le Bé family: similar to Briquet 5097, 8080-8083 and 13194) show all the types to good advantage. The press was active from 1578 to 1609.There are two versions of the pamphlet, and the descriptions available suggest that the other is a reissue with several leaves removed, added or replaced. Since the total number of printed leaves remains the same, it is difficult to distinguish the two in catalogues that give neither a collation nor a fingerprint. We have located three other copies of the first issue, two copies of the reissue, and one or two of uncertain issue. The present first issue collates A-H4 (with H4 blank) with STCN fingerprint: 160304 - b1 A2 esurc : b2 H2,$ajuyn and VD17-style fingerprint: del- gen, e.ie ghte.With marginal worm holes in a few leaves, slightly affecting 3 words of the text, but further in fine condition and only slightly trimmed, with the final blank leaf still present and only an occasional minor marginal blemish. The pattern of worm holes show that the present copy was stored in sheets, so its survival with generous margins and in remarkably good condition may result from its survival unused and unbound until the late nineteenth century, when the present binding was made. A rare pamphlet on garden produce taxes, printed in a very small edition for Leiden city representatives and using four civilité types.

Satsuma ware vases, bowls, and urns, depicted in an extensive sketchbook of detailed but unsigned watercolors, each numbered and presented as in a catalogue.

- [N.p.: probably the last quarter of the 19th century]. An oblong sketchbook comprising drawings of 95 items upon 93 thin Japanese paper leaves, executed in ink, watercolor, guache, and gilt; 5 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. Nineteenth century marbled boards, stitched at the spine. Boards rubbed and worn, spine restitched and two small pieces of cellophane tape applied; many leaves slightly worn at edges, some chipped, a few with loss beyond the edges and touching the image, one with loss of the number at the foot, one detached (and fragments of two additional drawings laid in), but images generally fine. A collection of detailed, Satsuma-ware watercolor drawings, most with guache and gilt to effect the "brocaded" surfaces of the pottery, numbered from 2 to 100 (no. 1 and four others are missing, a no. 105 is laid in, three numbered images are drawn on one leaf). Inside front cover is inscribed in ink: Property of Bert Raskin, 28 Porter Ave., Brooklyn, NY. Perhaps this served as an importer's or retailer's sale catalogue, perhaps as a collector's. Produced in southern Japan from the 17th century, Satsuma ware achieved considerable popularity among western collectors after the establishment of active trade there in the mid-19th century. (1520).

Jhs. über fünf erhabenen Bünden, mit Rückenvergoldung (minimal beschabt). Erster Druck der Erstausgabe der Lebensbeschreibung von Friedrich I. (Barbarossa), Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nation. Exemplar aus der Bibliothek des Gelehrten Joseph Freiherr von Laßberg. Der Elsässer Arzt und Humanist Johannes Adelphus ging 1513 als Arzt nach Überlingen. Bereits ein Jahr später ernannte ihn die Stadt Schaffhausen zu ihrem Stadtphysikus. Dort verfasste er denn auch diese erste Biographie und Charakterisierung einer der grossen deutschen Kaiser in Form eines deutsch geschriebenen Buchs. Es steht ganz im Zeichen des neuen humanistischen Interesses an der eigenen Geschichte, als deren Wegbereiter die Namen von Conrad Celtis, Jakob Wimpfeling und Sebastian Brant stehen. Die Lebensbeschreibung basiert auf verschiedenen lateinischen Chroniken, wie die von Burchard von Ursperg und von Johannes Nauclerus, sowie auf Johann Ecks Barbarossa-Vita und Sebastian Brants De origine et conversatione bonorum regum et de laude civilitatis Hierosolymae. Nahezu unverändert liess Adelphus auch das erstmals 1519 in Landshut und Augsburg veröffentlichte anonyme "Barbarossa-Volksbuch" mitdrucken. Der grosse Erfolg dieser am weitesten verbreiteten Geschichte Barbarossas im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert bezeugen die sieben bis 1629 aufgelegten Ausgaben. Die grossen, teilweise zusammengesetzten, Holzschnitte stammen von Künstlern des Grüningerumkreises; in der Zunftliste der Strassburger Maler waren um jene Zeit als Meister verzeichnet: Hans von Metz, Peter Schwein, Hans von Zabern, Hans Wechtlin, Veltin Zipfel, Erhard Schlitzoc und Hans von Frankfurt. Ob alle Illustrationen für diesen Druck geschaffen wurden ist nicht gesichert. Dargestellt sind detailreiche Szenen aus dem Leben des Kaisers Barbarossa, kriegerische Auseinandersetzungen, Belagerungsmaschinen nach Vorlagen von Valturius' De re militari und eine eindrucksvolle, von Osten gesehene Ansicht der Stadt Venedig. - Etwas gebräunt und (wasser-) fleckig, erste Bl. geringfügig wurmlöchrig, Name von alter Hand: Andreas Waibel auf Titel. - Gotzkowski, J.

Der aus Trittenheim stammende Verfasser (eigentlich Johannes Heidenberg oder Johannes Zeller) war Abt des Klosters Sponheim und vor allem auch bekannt als Theoretiker des Hexenwesens. Das Werk behandelt das Wahl- und Krönungszeremoniell für deutsche Kaiser und bietet vielfältige Hinweise auf die Genealogie der Habsburger. Deutsche Geschichte ist für Trithemius vornehmlich fränkische, die Begriffe Germani und Franci unterscheidet er demzufolge nicht konsequent, zuweilen verwendet er sie auch synonym.

|
Folio; bella legat. coeva in perg.; titolo calligrafico al dorso; cc. nn. 6, pp. 288, cc.nn. 6. Trascurabili lievi difetti alla legat., ma ottimo fresco esemplare di opera rarissima e pregiata. (Vicaire: col. 50: edizione che non figura nel Brunet e nel Bure, e questa neppure nel Vicaire che cita un'edizione in 8° della stessa data). Rara edizione della prima traduzione latina del più importante libro di gastronomia dell'antichità. Natale Conti Nacque a Milano nel 1520, studiò a Venezia e fu precettore di Francesco Panigarola, compose per Cosimo de’ Medici un poemetto in esametri sulle Ore del giorno e compilò la traduzione di alcuni classici. Sebbene poco sia noto della vita dell’autore, le dediche costanti a Carlo IX nelle sue opere farebbero supporre un suo soggiorno in Francia. Morì a Milano nel 1580. Ebbe il merito di essere stato il primo a tradurre in Latino e con grande valentia l'opera di Athenaeus, grammatico e retorico, nato a Naucratis in Egitto ma vissuto per la maggior parte del suo tempo a Roma tra il II e il III secolo d.C. probabilmente nell'età di Commodo (180-192) e dei suoi successori. In quest'opera (I Deipnosofisti o I dotti a banchetto) redatta in forma dialogica, secondo il modello classico del Simposio di Platone, Ateneo racconta all'amico Timocrate un banchetto tenutosi nella casa del Pontifex Maximus Laurentius, in cui uomini dotti si intrattennero in un lungo dialogo, dibattendo un ampio spettro di argomenti. Lusso, dieta, salute, sesso, musica, umorismo e lessicografia greca sono tutti temi che vengono trattati, ma il centro del dialogo è il cibo: alimenti e loro proprietà, cuochi famosi, pesci, storia degli usi conviviali in Grecia e a Roma, vino italico e suoi pregi. L'opera è inoltre una valida fonte per gli studi riguardanti la sessualità nella Grecia ellenistica. Senza il lavoro di Ateneo sarebbero andate perdute molte importanti informazioni sul mondo antico e molti autori (incluso Archestrato di Gela) sarebbero rimasti totalmente sconosciuti.

(Nürnberg, Friedrich Peypus, 6. März 1520). - Kl.-4to. Titel innerhalb Holzschnitt-Bordüre in Rot, mit Holzschnitt-Druckermarke auf Schlussblatt. [8] Bl. (das letzte leer). Flexibler Pergamentband. Erstausgabe. Seuchenschriften wurden nicht erst dann verfasst, wenn die Plage bereits ausgebrochen war, sondern vor allem auch, um den allgegenwärtigen ansteckenden Krankheiten vorbeugend begegnen zu können. Auch der vorliegende Traktat wurde in prophilaktischer Absicht kompiliert und veröffentlicht. Er besteht vor allem aus Arzneimittelrezepten und den Hinweisen, unter welchen Bedingungen sie zu benutzen sind. Um pharmazeutischen Laien die Zubereitung zu erschweren, sind die Zubereitungen auf Latein gedruckt, für den armen Mann werden stellenweise auch Ersatzmittel auf Deutsch genannt. Das mit einer sehr schönen und hier erstmals benutzten Holzschnittbordüre mit zwei Säulen und musizierenden Putti (Luther III, 114) geschmückte und mit rotem Titel recht aufwendig gedruckte Nürnberger Pestregiment aus der Offizin Friedrich Peypus (1495-1535) endet mit dem lateinisch gedruckten Busspsalm: "Multa flagella peccatoris sperantem autem in Domino misericordia circumdabit". - Kleiner Papierausriss im Rand des Titelblattes.

Weller, Repertorium, 1637 (Variante). First edition. The present rare German tract on the plague belongs to those publications which appeared prophylactically between the outbreaks of the black death. As many other such printed pamphlets, it was compiled from older sources and became widespread in middle class households. As usual to these booklets it lists ingredients and directions for making medicines for internal or topical use, as well as recipes for herbal mixtures to purify the air. The title is printed in red and black within a fine woodcut border depicting two columns and two putti playing music (Luther III, 114). - Short paper cut off in outer margin of title. - Limp vellum.

Guglielmo da Varignana
Secreta sublimia ad varios curandos .... [Alexandrum da Bindonis]
|
Venice, [1520]. Second Edition.. A very good copy; marginal staining to some pages (inoffensive); smudges on title page; loss of several letters on one page due to tear.. 8vo.,. A book of secrets containing an array of medical cures. It was written in the 13th century but not printed until 1519 and thereafter was always in print. The 1519 edition is almost unkown in collections. The 1520 edition, the only one seen by Ferguson, is offered here. He felt fortunate (see entry) to have located a copy for examination and inclusion in his collection. Eloy, Conring, and Portal all rate the book highly. Portal (who may be incorrect) identifies Varignana as a Jew who practised in Genoa. He is the only one to so identify Varignana.

Marcia Hall
After Raphael
|
Cambridge. Please note that deliveries to addresses in the UK and Europe will be in 4-14 business days. Other countries should refer to Alibris standard times. After Raphael is the first overview of sixteenth-century Italian painting to be published in over thirty years. Reevaluating the paintings of Raphael, Michelangelo, Pontormo, Bronzino and their followers in the light of recent research, Marcia Hall offers a new interpretation for the stylistic shifts that occurred after 1520. By taking into account the social, cultural, political, theological, and patronage issues that affected taste and stylistic developments, she demonstrates how the revival of interest in antique Roman sculpture relief affected Mannerist painters. She also examines the repercussions of the Reformation, which changed forever the Church's view of the function of images. ISBN10: 0521482453.

|
One of the last publications by the famous Parisian printer Henri Estienne: important for the history of the Reformation in France Paris, Henri Estienne, 1520. 4to. 19th century vellum, spine lettered in ink. Printed in Estienne's beautiful roman type; one criblé initial at the beginning. (14) leaves. Extremely rare (Schreiber) original edition of this sermon, and one of the last editions printed by the famous Parisian printer Henri Estienne, published in the year of his death. The work consists of a sermon delivered by Guillaume Briçonnet (1470-1534) on 13 October 1519 in Meaux, where he was bishop. In this sermon the bishop urges and admonishes his clergy and priests to take care personally and to be present in their respective parishes. He doesn't blame their ignorance or incompetence, but their absence from their parishes and their habit to designate substitutes ('vicaires') to fulfill their duties; and these substitutes, to be sure, are often ignorant and incompetent indeed.çonnet, a close friend of Lefèvre d'Etaples - who dedicated several of his humanistic works to him - was a relative through marriage of the great bibliophile Jean Grolier, who married Anne Briçonnet in 1516. He was appointed bishop at Lodève and later at Meaux, after the Kings Louis XII and François I had charged him with a number of difficult missions to the Pope. Returned at Meaux he assembled a circle of scholars around him such as Guillaume Farel, Lefèvre d'Etaples, Clichtove, Gérard Roussel and François Vatable. There were also Calvinists among them who have had a great influence on him. As a man of letters he has augmented greatly the library of the monastry of Saint-Germain-des-Près. Very good copy of this extremely rare sermon with the bookplates of Comte de Briailles and Paul Schmidt. Renouard, p.22, nr.1; Schreiber 32; Cioranescu 4875; B. Moreau 2274; M.

- Ohne Ort (Augsburg), ohne Drucker, o. J. (nach dem 8. Februar 1520).8. 2 nn. Bll. mit einer Holzschn.-Initiale I, Mod. Kart.Erstausgabe, sehr selten. - Der konvertierte Jude Paul Ricius studierte in Italien Medizin, war 1514 in Nürnberg und Salzburg als Arzt tätig und wurde im gleichen Jahr Leibarzt des Kaisers Maximilian I. In seiner Isagoge Cabalae behauptete er, daß der Sternenhimmel beseelt sei. Diese These wurde von Agrippa von Nettesheim noch weiter entwickelt, von Johann Eck im Chrysopassus und auf einer Disputation in Bologna jedoch abgelehnt. Ricius antwortete 1519 in seinem Werk Naturalia et prophetica de Anima coeli [...] in dem er seine Behauptung weiter untermauerte. Mitte Februar 1519 kam Ricius nach Ingolstadt, wo Eck eine Disputation in Gegenwart des Kardinals und Bischofs von Gurk, Matth. Lange veranlaßte. Eck zwang Ricius zu Zugeständnissen, die dieser in seiner Schrift De anima coeli compendium abzuschwächen versuchte. Es entwickelte sich daraus eine heftige Kontroverse, in der Eck Ricius der unverschämtesten aller Lügen bezichtigte und sich erbot, seine Ansicht einem Schiedsgericht zu unterstellen. Ritius suchte nun sich Hilfstruppen zu verschaffen. Er klagte seinen Unmuth und das erlittene Unrecht den österreichischen Landständen. Diese ersuchten in einem Schreiben vom 8. Febr. 1520 die Herzoge Wilhelm und Ludwig von Bayern, ihr Ansehen möge verhindern mordacissimo Eccii latratus rabidamque maledicentiam compescere, injungereque, ut quae in Ritium plena veneno scripta in publicum prodire non sinat, iniqui notam aut tergat, aut improperii multam reportet.

Imp. Lucantonio Giunta. Venecia, 1520. 30,5 cm. Portada con grabado xilográfico fechado en 1519 y firmado L. A. que muestra la figura de un astrólogo. 107 fol., a dos columnas. Capitulares xilográficas. Enc. en cartoné, lomera de ante algo fatigada, nervios. Muy ligera señal de óxido. Manchas en varios folios que no impiden la lectura. Portada levemente deslucida. Error de numeración en fol. 30 (consta como 31), pero texto completo. Discretos subrayados antiguos en algunas páginas. * Conocido también como Abenragel Haly, Abûl 'l-Hasan 'Alî ibn abî al-Rijâl vivió a caballo de los siglos X y XI y, a principios de esta última centuria, prestó sus servicios como astrólogo en la corte del príncipe tunecino al-Mu'izz ibn Bâdis. La traducción latina se realizó a partir de una versión castellana titulada El libro conplido en los iudizios de las estrellas. A pesar de que el manuscrito castellano hoy conservado contiene sólo cinco partes, la presente traducción se realizó a partir de la obra completa, que comprende ocho, y que fue editada por vez primera en Venecia en 1485 y se reimprimió en 1503, 1520 (la que ofrecemos, mejorada por Bartolomé Alten, doctor en artes y medicina), 1523, 1525, 1551 y 1571. La obra gozó de gran popularidad entre los astrólogos de la Baja Edad Media como Bonatti y Leopold y los del Renacimiento. El pie de imprenta consta en el colofón, en el que también hay marca tipográfica (L. A., de LucAntonio).

FIVE HISTORIATED INITIALS,
from a Gradual, in Latin, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM
|
- from a Gradual, in Latin, ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM (71x67mm.) THE CHRIST CHILD sitting on the grass and HOLDING A GLOBE against a short brown wall, beyond the wall a far landscape with high mountains and clouds, WITHIN AN orange INITIAL K with staves of acanthus leaves and jewels, highlighted in white, on a light pink ground of scattered flowers outlined in black. On the right trace of a four-line stave ruled in red. (71x57mm.) A BOY CLUBBING A DOG in a mountainous landscape WITHIN AN INITIAL I of pale pink and blue acanthus leaves including a grotesque face, on a ground of liquid gold. On the left trace of a four-line stave in red and text. (71x66mm.) AN ASCENDING SOUL helped by an angel ABOVE A LONG-HORNED TAG SWIMMING, in a large landscape, WITHIN AN INITIAL S of green, mauve, and orange acanthus staves, touched in white, on a yellow ground. (75x71mm.) A MAN FROM BEHIND KNEELING IN PRAYER TO CHRIST, seated on a rainbow amongst the clouds of the sky (as at the Last Judgement), in a deep landscape, WITHIN AN INITIAL R with acanthus blue staves highlighted in white, on a green ground adorned with acanthus leaves and outlined in black. On the right fragment of a red four-line stave.(67x68mm.) A MAN KNEELING BEFORE A PRIEST ADMINISTERING COMMUNION, on the back an altar with two women, jointing their hands in prayer and watching the scene, and an altarpiece of the Crucifixion, WITHIN AN INITIAL Q with blue acanthus leaves highlighted in white and adorned with pearls, on a green ground patterned with curling hairline tendrils and outlined by a double black fillet. On the right faint trace of a red four-line stave. (Framed all together; on the reverses remains of text and 4-line red staves; slight rubbing in a couple of places, else in very good condition).FINE INITIALS FROM A LAVISHLY ILLUSTRATED GRADUAL OF THE BEGINNING OF THE 16TH CENTURY: AN EXCEPTIONALLY RICH PROJECT OF DECORATION.According to the textual and musical fragments on the reverse of a couple of our cuttings, the five capitals come from a Gradual. Indeed, the K probably opened the Kyrie eleison (since there are remains of the Gloria on the reverse of the letter); the Q marked the Communion for Corpus Christi. The iconography also contributes to the identification.The sophisticate acanthus staves are typical of early sixteenth century German initials in both illuminated and printed books. The illuminator of our initials, however, was aware of the rules and the power of the Renaissance painting, known in Germany trough the masterpieces of Dürer, Cranach and Altdorfer. The atmospheric landscapes characterized by distant silver-blue shapes of mountains, the effect of the movement in the water, the smooth brush, the attention paid to details such as the subtle termination of the stave curled around Christ's tiny foot or the costumes in the Communion scene (the woman's one indicating a date around 1520) make this artist and accomplished painter of the early Renaissance. The Gradual from which our initials came seems to have been lavishly adorned with historiated initials, not just for the introits. This rich project was exceptional and certainly reserved for very important books. PROVENANCE: W.M. Voelkle and R.S. Wieck, The Bernard Breslauer Collection of Manuscript Illuminations, Cat. of the exhibition, New York, The Pierpont Morgan Library, 9 December 1992 - 4 April 1993, New York 1992, nos. 50-54.

Pierre Bercheur (ca. 1290-1362), a French Benedictine scholar was a translator, encyclopaedist, and the author of several works, including the Ovidius Moralizatus (Ovide Moralise) (1340), a work of mythography. The Gesta Romanorum, a Latin collection of anecdotes and tales, is sometimes attributed to him. In the 1340s, Bercheur became a student at the University of Paris and met Petrarch there again, having first met him in Avignon in the 1320s. The Italian poet was on an embassy to the French court. Bercheur translated into French Petrarch's reassembly (in Latin) of Livy's history of Rome. He was an eloquent preacher and a voluminous homiletical writer. His most important work is the Repertorium morale, for the use of preachers, a kind of Biblico-moral dictionary, in which the principal words of Scripture are arranged alphabetically and moral reflections attached thereto. His Reductorium morale to the Sacred Scriptures in thirty-four books, embraced all the books of the Bible and was first printed at Strasburg in 1474. Brunet, I, 819. Images sent on request.

German Prayer Book of the Margravine of Brandenburg (Das Deutsche Gebetbuch Der Markgrafin Von Brandenburg) Fine Facsimile Illuminated Edition of 16th Century
|
Faksimile Verlag Luzern. New German Prayer Book of the Margravine of Brandenburg, 16th century-Badische Landesbibliothek, Karlsruhe, Hs. Durlach 2A festive firework display of gold and colour An example from the heyday of late Gothic book illumination from Southern Germany In the year 1520, in the middle of the turbulent times of Renaissance and Humanism, an ornate, yet highly intimate prayer book in the German language was produced in Augsburg. The town, then under the Fugger dynasty, was not only an important place of commerce and finance, but also one of the major centres of German book illumination. The book was commissioned by Kasimir, Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach and his wife, Susanna of Bavaria, whose portraits and coats-of-arms both decorate the manuscript. Margravine Susanna was the niece of Emperor Maximilian, a generous patron of the arts throughout his life. He commissioned work from some of the greatest European painters, such as Dürer, Cranach and Holbein. Fireworks of gold and colourThis extraordinary prayer book was presumably ordered on the occasion of the marriage celebrations for Kasimir and Susanna during the 1518 Imperial Diet at Augsburg where Emperor Maximilan himself gave away the bride. Painted pages radiating with precious colours, opulent border decorations against a bright gold background and various ornamented initials in gold covering several lines against a red or blue background set ablaze a true firework display of gold and other colours on the 189 sheets of the book. However, the manuscript does not capture the eye merely through the extravagant richness of design; rather, this effect is more so achieved by its very personal charm. Although made for a princess, the prayer book intrigues the reader by an abundance of endearing detail taken from the private living circumstances of Susanna; it could only have been carried out in this way upon her direct wish. Susanna's living world in her prayer bookThe multi-faceted design of this prayer book reveals a...

Apianus, Peter
Tipus Orbis Universalis Ivxta Ptolomei Cosmographi Tradi-tionem et Americi Vespucii 1520. [Delineation of the entire world prepared according to the teach-ing of Ptolemy the cosmographer, and the voyages of Americus Vespuccius and others.]
|
[Vienna, 1520.] - Folio double-page woodcut map of the world. Short tears, neat repairs, margins reinforced at left and bottom with two words outside the map rule renewed, some minor spotting and marginal staining. Rare. FIRST EDITION of “the earliest obtainable map to name America” (Burden, The Mapping of North America). A true renaissance man, Peter Bienewitz (Apianus) was an astronomer, mathematician, cartographer, and printer. His Introduction to Cosmography (1524), a classic of the age of exploration, was “the first geographical work of importance in which the experiences of the discovery of the new world were used.” The 1520 Apianus map is based upon the Ptolemaic tradition, but it is enhanced with information from the voyages of Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. Columbus’s voyages in the 1490s are reflected in this map in its printed note, “Anno 1497 hec terra cum adiacetibo insulis inuenta est per Columbum Ianuensem ex mandato Regis Castello.” Apianus collected the most up-to-date cartographical knowledge and produced a cordiform (heart-shaped) world map with the New World labeled “America.” The map later appeared in various forms in Apianus’s widely circulated published works. For nearly 400 years, this map was known as the source of the term “America,” from the explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Its source has since proved to be the lone surviving example of the 1507 Waldseemüller wall map, recently acquired by the Library of Congress for $10,000,000. No manuscript or printed maps of the New World before 1500 have survived, and only a handful of relics naming “America” survive from the period of 1520 and earlier. Other than the 1507 Waldsee-müller wall map, there are two maps by Cornelius Aurelius (perhaps from 1514) and a handful of globe gores by two early makers. These virtually unobtainable examples were lost to scholars and the public for centuries, while the great 1520 Apianus map forever established America as the name of the New World. Opportunities to acquire significant relics of the earliest period of the cartography and exploration of the Americas are rare. [Attributes: First Edition]

BOEMUS, Joannes.
Repertorium librorum trium Ioannis Boemi de omnium gentium ritibus.
|
First edition of the ‘first, or at least one of the first, Renaissance collections of manners and customs . . . . Boemus made his simple purposes very clear. There were two of them. He wished, first, to make accessible to the ordinary reader an already not inconsiderable body of knowledge concerning the variety of human behavior, to arrange it on a broad geographical plan, with the geographical features subordinated to the ethnological, and to use the printed page, as others had employed the “cabinet de curiosités”, for assembling and exhibiting the range of human custom, ritual, and ceremony. Second, in the interest of improved political morality, he desired to inform his readers concerning the laws and governments of other nations . . . . [His] “histories” or descriptions, written at about the same time as Machiavelli’s Prince, were intended not only to instruct his readers concerning the laws and governments of other nations, but to make it possible for them to form intelligent judgements as to “what orders and institutions” were “fittest to be ordayned” in their own lands for the establishment of perfect peace. With the ancient customs of the classical peoples spread out for contemplation and comparison, together with those of more recent practice, Boemus felt certain that Europeans could readily decide between the socially good and socially bad . . . . [The book] was an instant success, and widely consulted for well over a hundred years. Some measure of its interest to the reading public of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries may be inferred from the number of reissues, revisions, and translations . . . . Boemus was read by Montaigne, and may have helped to shape his ideas on the diversity of custom . . . . Moreover, as a collector of customs, Boemus initiated a literary and ethnological genre which has lived on vigorously until the present day . . . . But selected as they were from a scattered body of cultural observations in many ancient sources, this collection of ethnological traits, rituals, and ceremonies . . . throws a revealing light not only upon the concept of culture entertained by Boemus and his contemporaries but upon his idea of the classes or categories into which the traits of peoples might conceivably and usefully be assembled for closer analysis. With the clear intention of isolating major social institutions for inspection, and with some degree of orderliness, Boemus placed special emphasis on divergences in marriage and the family, divergences in social organization, in religions, funeral rites, weapons, warfare, justice, diet, and apparel . . . . The nations most fully described by Boemus were those at the farthest remove from sixteenth-century Europe . . . . Not only was far-off India favored with an amplitude of detail, but his descriptions, reflecting admiration not unmixed with incredulity, reflect also, as in a mirror, the contemporary standard of the socially good, the ultimate criterion of true civility . . . . It was impossible for [Boemus] to collect the customs of mankind without being confounded by their diversity. It was impossible for him to consider the problem of ethnological diversity as though Genesis had never been written. Yet, it is plain throughout that the Biblical solution was not enough . . . . While he refrained from adopting a theory of multiple human creations, with its corollary of original cultural diversification, he allowed himself on more than one occasion to deviate radically from the Mosaic solution. For example, he can be discovered installing the “first men” in at least two different regions. In conformity with certain classical habits of thought, they were set down in Ethiopia, where the gods were “first honoured”, and sacred ceremonies ordained. Then, in deference to Scriptural historiography, he tells us of a people who resided in Judea . . . “as being of all other firste . . . that was mother of letters, and sciences”. In addition, China was also considered a possible site of the origination of mankind because people still dwelt there who were “as it ware in the beginnyng, or entryng of the world”. Manifestly, in this dual or triple implantation of the race, Boemus appears less the advocate of a theory of plural creations than the victim of that intellectual conflict which afflicts any transitional generation. Or, since during the earlier Renaissance many men could not make up their minds on this and related questions, he stands as an example of that uncertainty’ (Hodgen, Early anthropology in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries pp. 131–41, 232–5). See also Lach, Asia in the making of Europe II/ii pp. 336–7.Adams B2275; Bell B317; Durling 609; Europe informed 215; Proctor 10918; Sabin 6117. The alternative title (f. [I] recto) reads: ‘Omnium gentium mores leges et ritus ex multis clarissimis rerum scriptoribus . . . collectos: & in libros tris distinctos Aphricam, Asiam, Europam, optime lector lege’. The design of the border of the principal title-page is attributed to Hans Weiditz by Johnson, German Renaissance title-borders 29. [Colophon: Augsburg, Sigismund Grimm & Marcus Wirsung], 1520.

HUGO, Victor.
|
[Jersey, Imprimerie Universelle = Brussels, Henri Samuel] First edition, rare, of Hugo’s open letter to Napoleon III, written in exile in Jersey, protesting against the Emperor’s planned diplomatic visit to England: ‘Qu’est-ce que vous venez faire ici? à qui en voulez-vous? … Laissez l’exil tranquille. Ne venez pas.’ The visit went ahead, Napoleon III received the Order of the Garter, and Queen Victoria returned the favour, becoming the first British monarch to make an official visit to France since 1520. These events would indirectly contribute to Hugo’s expulsion from Jersey, along with a number of other French ‘proscrits’ at the end of October 1855.Hugo’s pamphlet is accompanied here by five similar works, written by authors in political exile after the coup d’état of 1851, and known to Hugo. Magen, Callet and Favre were journalists whose exile was passed in Belgium; Durrieu was editor of the Revolution and the closest to Hugo, who mentions him several times in The History of a Crime (which also refers in passing to Magen’s imprisonment) – he lived in exile in England and Spain; Arago, playwright and politician, and one of four talented brothers, was also in exile in Belgium. The abolitionist writer and fellow-exile Victor Schoelcher mentions in his Histoire des crimes du deux décembre (1852) the works by Durrieu, Favre, and Callet in the same breath as Hugo’s Châtiments. OCLC shows five copies of the Hugo (Koninklijke Bibliotheek; Harvard, Library of Congress, Indiana and Texas); three each of the Magen (Berlin Staatsbibliothek, Bayerischer Staatsbibliothek, International Institue of Social History) and the Durrieu (Koninklijke Bibliotheek, Radboud Universiteitsbibliotheek, Univerity of Toronto); and two of the Callet (Koninklijke Bibliotheek and Bayerischer Staatsbibliothek). The Favre and Arago pamphlets are not listed in OCLC in any edition.Clouzot, p. 149 ‘Très rare’; Carteret I, 415.

As one of the great popularizers of devotion to the rosary, he produced such works as the Rosarium aureum B.Mariae Virginis, which doubled as sermons and combined practical aspects of Marian doctrines with earlier theological formulations. Some of his Mariologies display a certain theological creativity, although Pepin never breached the limits of orthodoxy.O [Larissa Taylor, Soldiers of Christ,2002.] Moreau/Renouard 2440.

Contemp. vellum, title in ms. on spine, yapp fore-edge, old owner's name on f.f.e.p. some light browning, occ. dampstains, marginal paperflaws on q7 & 8 of Acontius slightly affecting sidenote.. 8vo. 2 works in 1 vol. . Acontius has a woodcut title-page border, folding table in Hotman, woodcut papal seal on O2, head- and tail-pieces, decorated initials. Aconcio, Jacopo [Jacobus Acontius] (c.1520!1566/7?), theologian and military engineer. OAccording to Aconcio's own recollection, he had already become attracted to the ideas of the Reformation while still with Landriano, views confirmed in Milan. Since he could not openly express such thoughts in Italy, he decided to choose a career by which he could earn a living in exile, and settled on military engineering... Meanwhile Aconcio had been busy developing his religious views, which were much more radical than his engineering. From 1560 he had become involved in a dispute which had split the Strangers' ChurchNthe Dutch church, which he joined after the Spanish reformers' church had been disbanded. The minister had been severely attacked for allowing Anabaptist refugees to join the church. Indeed loyal Calvinists had already been enquiring about Aconcio's past, as if he had always been suspect. When Bishop Grindal took the side of the objectors, Aconcio wrote to him to defend the minister and himself. This may have been the spur for him to publish his major work, the Stratagematum Satanae (1565), a military metaphor appropriate for a military engineer... In this book Aconcio turns the persecution of heresy upside down; instead of the heretics being seduced by the devil, it is the wish to persecute which is diabolical, for it is the means whereby the devil injures true Christianity. Given the fallibility of human judgement, and men's love of their own opinions, it can never be certain that any particular doctrine is totally erroneous. Satan moreover seeks to persuade men to ignore the bidding of their own consciences by surrendering their judgement to another (meaning all priests and ministers), while he encourages those with influence to exert their authority over the consciences of others. Curses, denunciations, and cruel punishments will only reinforce sectarian resistance. In effect persecution is wrong but also ineffective, having led to the present multiplication of opinions, all passionately defended. For Aconcio there are only a very few fundamental teachings in Christianity, derived directly from the plain meaning of the New Testament; everything else can be accepted or rejected so that any disagreement should be conducted mildly, acknowledging that either or indeed both sides may have a caseNor may be wrong.O [Oxford DNB]#11;Fran!ois Hotman (August 23, 1524 - February 12, 1590), was a French Protestant lawyer and writer. OHotman was a home-loving and genuinely pious man (as his Consolatio shows). His constant removals were inspired less by fear for himself than for his family, and he had a constitutional desire for peace. He did much for 16th-century jurisprudence, having a critical knowledge of Roman sources, and a fine Latin style. He broached the idea of a national code of French law.... a polemic (Brutum fulmen, 1585) directed against a bull of Sixtus V...{EB 11th ed.]#11;Both of these works relate to the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth I by the Pope.

BRIÇONNET, Guillaume.
One of the last publications by the famous Parisian printer Henri Estienne: important for the history of the Reformation in France, Sermo synodalis R. in Christo Patris D. Guillermi Meldensis Episcopi, habitus Meldis, anno 1519, die 13 Octobris: quo monentur quibus ouium cura credita est, illis praesentes invigilare.
|
Henri Estienne, 1520., Paris, - 4to. 19th century vellum, spine lettered in ink. Printed in Estienne's beautiful roman type; one criblé initial at the beginning. (14) leaves. Extremely rare (Schreiber) original edition of this sermon, and one of the last editions printed by the famous Parisian printer Henri Estienne, published in the year of his death. The work consists of a sermon delivered by Guillaume Briçonnet (1470-1534) on 13 October 1519 in Meaux, where he was bishop. In this sermon the bishop urges and admonishes his clergy and priests to take care personally and to be present in their respective parishes. He doesn't blame their ignorance or incompetence, but their absence from their parishes and their habit to designate substitutes ('vicaires') to fulfill their duties; and these substitutes, to be sure, are often ignorant and incompetent indeed.çonnet, a close friend of Lefèvre d'Etaples - who dedicated several of his humanistic works to him - was a relative through marriage of the great bibliophile Jean Grolier, who married Anne Briçonnet in 1516. He was appointed bishop at Lodève and later at Meaux, after the Kings Louis XII and François I had charged him with a number of difficult missions to the Pope. Returned at Meaux he assembled a circle of scholars around him such as Guillaume Farel, Lefèvre d'Etaples, Clichtove, Gérard Roussel and François Vatable. There were also Calvinists among them who have had a great influence on him. As a man of letters he has augmented greatly the library of the monastry of Saint-Germain-des-Près. Very good copy of this extremely rare sermon with the bookplates of Comte de Briailles and Paul Schmidt. Renouard, p.22, nr.1; Schreiber 32; Cioranescu 4875; B. Moreau 2274; M. Veissière, L'éveque Guillaume Briçonnet, p. 486 and 157-178; not in Adams

Offsetting and some edgewaer to endleaves, small worm tracks and dampstaining to margins in a few places, interior otherwise fresh. A nice copy of a rare title. * Third and final edition. First published in 1567, this is a concise but scholarly dictionary of terms from canon, civil, and Roman law. Some attention is given to classical Greek law as well. The entries, which range in length from a few sentences to several paragraphs, address lexicographical and philological issues and conclude with references and citations. A list of ancient and modern authorities divided into the following categories precedes the main text: Lexicographi, Iuris Auctores, Interpretes, Ex Iure Pontificio, Alii Lexicographi, Ex Medicis, Ex Aliis Classicus. Little is known about Pardoux, and the title page of this edition does not list any academic or professional distinctions. His range of references, descriptive method, organizational style and facility with Latin and Greek demonstrates that he received a solid humanistic education. In addition to the present work, he published and edited treatises on French, Greek and Roman law. OCLC locates 4 copies of this edition at Narth American law schools (Florida State, Harvard, SMU, UT-Austin). Not in Brunet, Graesse or the British Museum Catalogue. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Brown endpapers. 1184, 1520, 1417pp. With b/w engravings, portrait frontis and fold out map in Vol III (upside down). Vols I & II in very good condition, Vol III good. Spines and covers slightly rubbed and marked. Corners slightly rubbed and bumped. Vol III front board almost detached and has split across spine, with splits at top and bottom edges at back of spine. Owner’s inscription on front endpapers dated 1846. Map has small tear. A commentary of a practical and devotional rather than of a critical kind, covering the whole of the Old Testament, and the New Testament. Not a work of textual criticism, its attempt at good sense, discrimination, its high moral tone and simple piety with practical application, combined with the well-sustained flow of its English style, made it one of the most popular works of its type. Vol III has a map of the travels of St Paul which is bound in upside down. Includes a memoir of the life of Matthew Henry by J.B.Williams.

Carattere rotondo testo a due colonne, grande xilografia al frontis e 41 vignette nel testo. L' opera termina con "il fine" a carta 112 bianca al verso. Edizione assolutamente rarissima e di difficile identificazione. secondo Iccu, nessuna copia nelle biblioteche italiane; è vagamente ricordata da Graesse, Brunet e Haym. Essling la descrive compiutamente e cita l' unico esemplare conosciuto della biblioteca Melziana, e la data dopo il 1528 mentre Radaeli la ritiene anteriore. La più antica è del 1483 e fino al 1536 si contano ben 14 edizioni, tutte rare o rarissime (Harris "Sanudo" III 34/5). La bella xilografia al frontis, che rappresenta Carlo Magno e i baroni, è tratta dal "Guerino" del 1522. Il poema di argomento cavalleresco, in dieci ottave per pagina, narra la guerra di Troia e da taluni è attribuito al fiorentino Jacopo Carlo. Vecchio piccolo restauro al margine bianco del frontis e all' angolo alto di 11 carte in fine, purtroppo con perdita di molte parole soprattutto alle ultime 5 carte. Antica annotazione manoscritta in basso al frontis intorno all' autore e alle varie edizioni; al verso bianco dell' ultima carta lunga nota manoscritta coeva in 14 righe con chiara grafia.

Les Débuts de la gravure sur cuivre en France : Lyon 1520-1565 / Préface de Sylvie Deswarte-Rosa
|
DROZ - 9782600010962 Livre usage a l'etat de neuf / Used book as new condition L'essor pris par l'imprimerie et le livre illustré à Lyon au XVIe siècle est aujourd'hui pleinement établi, ne serait-ce qu'au regard de l'œuvre d'un Bernard Salomon. Néanmoins, le rôle qu'y joue la gravure sur cuivre, d'évidence considérable compte tenu des estampes conservées, demeurait méconnu. Sur la base de ce constat, Estelle Leutrat étudie un centre de production de la gravure en taille-douce qui fut parmi les plus actifs en France de 1520 à 1565 environ. Son corpus réunit principalement les estampes du Maître JG (autrefois identifié à Jean de Gourmont), de Georges Reverdy et du Maître CC, dont la production respective atteste à sa manière des débats intellectuels et religieux de l'époque. L'intérêt que porte l'auteur aux pratiques des graveurs, depuis les techniques de taille jusqu'au choix des modèles, confirme une fois encore la large circulation de formes entre la France, l'Italie et les Pays du Nord.

Binding tight and firm. A good copy of a scarce early printing of this work. Pierre Bercheur (ca. 1290-1362), a French Benedictine scholar was a translator, encyclopaedist, and the author of several works, including the Ovidius Moralizatus (Ovide Moralise) (1340), a work of mythography. The Gesta Romanorum, a Latin collection of anecdotes and tales, is sometimes attributed to him. In the 1340s, Bercheur became a student at the University of Paris and met Petrarch there again, having first met him in Avignon in the 1320s. The Italian poet was on an embassy to the French court. Bercheur translated into French Petrarch's reassembly (in Latin) of Livy's history of Rome. He was an eloquent preacher and a voluminous homiletical writer. His most important work is the Repertorium morale, for the use of preachers, a kind of Biblico-moral dictionary, in which the principal words of Scripture are arranged alphabetically and moral reflections attached thereto. His Reductorium morale to the Sacred Scriptures in thirty-four books, embraced all the books of the Bible and was first printed at Strasburg in 1474. Brunet, I, 819.

A title vignette shows a head with lines drawn from the skull to the eyes, ears and mouth. The woodcut is possibly of a bookseller standing behind a counter and surrounded by books, or perhaps of a teacher standing at a podium and lecturing. Three other figures stand off to the right and are writing down information of some kind. The work is incomplete, being only the first four leaves of a work of 32 leaves (Sanders 5521 & 5521a).
