On the verso of the title-page appears Badius' dedicatory letter to Louis Ruzé (dated July 1521).Translations from the Greek by Niccolò Sagundino, Angelo Poliziano, Guillaume Budé, Willibald Pirckheimer, Philippe Melanchthon, Erasmus of Rotterdam, and eight others. One of Erasmus' translations includes his original dedication to Henry VIII (leaf CLV verso).

"De Claris Mulieribus," "De Exilio, and many others. No copies located of this or the 1514 edition located in the OCLC (1 copy of the 1526 edition: Huntington). II. This is the fourth Badius edition, augmented and revised, of these popular texts by the Florentine poet and humansit, Pietro Crinito (1465-1505), who had been a pupil of Angelo Poliziano and friend of Pico della Mirandola. De honesta disciplina, based on the model of Gellius' Noctes Atticae, is a miscellany of notes on classical literature, history, archaelology, etc. De poetis Latinis, (1st: 1505) has the distinction of being the first "modern" history of Roman literautre, containing the biographies of all the major Latin poets.

Desirable sammelband of two important and rare humanistic works which are also of particular interest in the history of printing. The two titles feature the two different famous printer's devices of Josse Badius (1462-1535), the first scholar-printer in France, which includes the first use of a printing press. The earlier device (in Crinito), which is signed "IB", included errors that had to be corrected in a new version (Plutarchus) ascribed to the school of Albrecht Durer (see Bigmore-Wymann.). Regarding this device; Renouard, II, Marques typographiques, Pl. B 6, 2-3, for J. Major's Historia Britanniae, 1521; Renouard calls this 2-2 at II:#561; "ascribed to the hand of Dürer and contains a figure strongly resembling the Master himself" (H. W. Davies, Devices of the early printer, #247). The two devices seem to feature here in their very earliest use [14], 181 leaves, 1 blank leaf.

      (cm. 16,3) legatura bella Piena Pergamena sec. XIX, nervi e titolo oro al dorso; cc. 12 nn., cc. 80 (di 84), carattere romano, bel frontis. architettonico figurato che racchiude il titolo. Il colophon è al verso di carta 83, la successiva è bianca. Mancano purtroppo le 4 carte numerate 2, 3, 6 e 7. Integrazione di un agolino bianco del frontis, una notazione abrasa all'ultima carta, altrimenti esemplare bello e nitido. Una nota alla sguardia manoscr. XX sec.: "Libro rarissimo acquistato dal P.Canal e poi donato.". - Edizione originale e probabilmente unica. L'autore, pisano, Bartholomeus De Rinochini, pubblicò varie opere di carattere ascetico. Quest'opera è divisa in otto parti; molto si parla dei diritti e doveri fra marito e moglie, dell'educazione dei figli e della famiglia in generale. E' una specie di galateo con regole di vita religiosa e civile, oltre che in famiglia, anche tra amici e vicini. Veramente rara, manca a tutta la bibliografia consultata, compreso Adams, BM STC, Choix, Graesse, nonchè a vari cataloghi di religione quali Olschki, Rosenthal, etc. Il census ICCU registra solo 3 copie in Italia. Unico riferimento bibliografico: Carpanè "Annali tipografici fratelli Da Sabbio 1521-1551" pag. 167.

Gabina Aurora Perez Jimenez, Maarten
Encounter With the Plumed Serpent: Drama and Power in the Heart of Mesoamerica
      University Press of Colorado. New The Mixtec, or the people of Nuu Savi ("Nation of the Rain God"), one of the major civilizations of ancient Mesoamerica, made their home in the highlands of Oaxaca, where they resisted both Aztee military expansion and the Spanish conquest. In Encounter with the Plumed Serpent, two leading scholars present and interpret the sacred histories narrated in the Mixtec codices, the largest surviving collection of pre-Columbian manuscripts in existence. In these screenfold books, ancient painter-historians chronicled the politics of the Mixtec from approximately A.D. 900 to 1521, portraying the royal families, rituals, wars, alliances, and ideology of the times. By analyzing and cross-referencing the codices, which have been fragmented and dispersed in far-flung archives, the authors attempt to reconstruct Mixtec history. Their synthesis here builds on long examination of the ancient manuscripts. Adding useful interpretation and commentary, Jansen and Perez Jimenez synthesize the large body of surviving documents into the first unified narrative of Mixtec sacred history. Archaeologists and other scholars as well as readers with an interest in Mesoamerican cultures will find this lavishly illustrated volume a compelling and fascinating history and a major step forward in knowledge of the Mixtec. ISBN10: 0870818686.

CYRIL, Saint, Patriarch of Alexandria
Opera, in three parts:] (1)Opus insigne. In Evangelium Ioannis. Paris, Wolfgang Hopyl, Thielman Kerver, Jean Petit, 1508.(2) Preclarum Opus quod Thesaurus nuncupatus quatuordecim libros complectens. Paris, Wolfgang Hopyl [for himself and F. Birckmann] , 1514, (colophon dated 1513).(3) Commentarii in Leviticum sexdecim libros digesti. Paris, Wolfgang Hopyl [for himself and F. Birckmann], 1514.
      0 - 3 parts in one vol., folio, ff. 276 + 92 + 64, roman letter, title to each part set within two circles supported by a pair of eagles (printer's device, reproduced in Sylvestre, Marques Typographiques, no. 1066), full-page woodcut at the end of the 2nd and 3rd parts (see below); a fine copy in a contemporary south German binding of blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, from the Donaueschingen Library. First edition of all three parts; edited by Josse Clichtove. The last part - the homilies on Leviticus - is attributed to Cyril, though it is actually by Origen. The parts are sometimes found separately, but it is clear from their uniform typographic appearance that they were intended to form a collected whole. They were reissued in 1521 (see Mortimer, French Books, no. 162).The translator, George Trapezuntius, was one of the earlier refugees to introduce the study of Greek into Italy; he was born in Crete, 1396, died in Rome, 1486, and was a prolific author of translations, including some Plato and Aristotle. He also had a reputation for cantankerousness and once came to blows with the scholar and papal secretary, Poggio Bracciolini. See N.G. Wilson, From Byzantium to Italy, ch. 10.The full-page woodcut at the end of the second and third parts looks like an illustration from a Parisian Book of Hours of the period but is the device of the Cologne (and London) bookseller Franz Birckmann for whom the printer Hopyl worked. At the top is an Adoration of the Magi, in the middle is a figure of St. Ursula with the 11,000 virgins, and below this is the cauldron containing the seven Maccabean youths with their mother. In the top corners are shields with the arms of Cologne and Birckmann's mark, and Birckmann's motto is cut on a banderole behind St. Ursula in the second scene. It constitutes one of the largest and most intricate devices of the period, and we cannot trace an earlier example of its use. It is reproduced by Heitz (Die Kölner Büchermarken bis Anfang des xvii. Jahrhunderts, Strasbourg, 1898, pl. xiii, no. 37) from a Cologne missal printed by Hopyl for Birckmann in 1520.Adams, C-3177, C-3178, C-3172. The first part is found in two states, with or without the annotations of John Chrysostom and Augustine to Cyril's missing books V to VII. Our copy has the annotations.

Marca aldina al frontesp. ed al versi dell’ult. carta, cc. (16 nn.), num. 245, (1). Seconda edizione aldina (la 1° nel 1514), di questo testo di retorica famosissimo, l’Ad Herennium fu compilata da un ignoto maestro a Roma negli anni 86-82 a.C. per i suoi studenti e fu ritenuta nel Medioevo opera di Cicerone. Essa costituisce "la fonte principale, anzi la sola fonte completa per l’arte della memoria classica, sia per il mondo greco, sia per quello latino" (Yates, L’Arte della Memoria, p. 7). La memoria è una delle cinque parti della retorica e si distingue in "memoria naturale", o innata, e "memoria artificiale", ossia potenziata con l’educazione. Il sistema su cui si basa la memoria artificiale è costituito da "immagini" associate alle cose da ricordare, collocate mentalmente in "luoghi" definiti – come ad esempio strutture architettoniche, palazzi, stanze ecc. – che vengono ripercorsi nel momento in cui i concetti vengono esposti e ripetuti. Il percoso così organizzato è in definitiva quello del discorso oratorio, che durante la fase dell’actio – cioè dell’esecuzione in pubblico – attraversa nuovamente le stanze in cui si trovano archiviati i concetti e li ritrova uno a uno nella loro sostanza (res) e nella loro forma (verba). Lo scritto ciceroniano con cui l’Ad Herennium presenta maggiori somiglianze è il De oratore (con cui peraltro usualmente si trova edito), probabilmente perché entrambi attingevano alle stesse fonti greche.

QUINTILIANUS, Marcus Fabius.
The second Aldus edition of the Roman world's greatest work on rhetoric Institutionum Oratorium libri XII diligentius recogniti M D XXII. Index capitum totius operis. Conversio dictionum Graecarum, quas ipse author in latinum non transtulit.
      Venice 'In Aedibus Aldi, et Andreae Soceri' (André d'Asola & sons), January 1521. - 4to. Seventeenth-century (?) red morocco with refined gilt centre-piece within double gilt ruled border with gilt corner pieces on both sides ('Style le Gascon'), gilt inner dentelles and binding edges, (later) matching red morocco spine gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, g.e. Aldus' famous printer's device (53 mm.) on the first and last leaves. (4), 230 lvs. (Collation *4, a-z, A-E8, F6). Second Aldus edition - 'revised', but almost exactly re-printed page-for-page - of the complete text of the De Oratoria, on the teaching of speaking and writing, by Quintilianus (ca. 35 in Spain - 95 AD).Quintilian's father, a well-educated man, sent him to Rome to study rhetoric early in the reign of Nero. In ca. 60 Quintilian returned to Spain, possibly to practice law in the courts of his own province. However, in 68 he returned to Rome as part of the retinue of Emperor Galba, Nero's short-lived successor. After Galba's death, and during the chaotic Year of the Four Emperors which followed, Quintilian opened a public school of rhetoric. Among his students were Pliny the Younger, and perhaps Tacitus. Quintilian retired from teaching and pleading in 88 and he spent his retirement writing his Institutiones Oratoriae. This is the only extant work of Quintilian, dealing not only with the theory and practice of rhetoric, but also with the foundational education and development of the orator himself. For Quintilian, the ideal orator or rhetorician was skilled in speaking and also a moral man (vir bonus dicendi peritus). The Institutiones can therefore be described as a treatise on education, a manual of rhetoric, a reader's guide to the best authors, and a handbook of the moral duties of the orator. Although much of what he writes is similar to Cicero, Quintilian emphasizes teaching. He was recognized by his contemporaries and exerted a strong influence possibly in the schools the Romans spread throughout the Empire. The influence continued until the fifth century. It was revived briefly in the twelfth century in France. The Humanists at the end of the fourteenth century renewed interest in Quintilian, especially after Poggio found a complete manuscript of the text in 1416 in the monastery in St. Gall. The editio princeps of Quintilian was edited by Ant. Campanus and printed in Rome in 1470 by Philippus de Lignamine. In the same year the second edition was printed by Schweynheym & Pannartz, edited by Giovanni Andrea Bussi; both edition were based on corrupt copies of the manuscript found by Poggio. A year later Jenson printed the third edition, skilfully edited by Omnibonus Leonicensis. The present book, beautifully printed in italics, is the second edition of Quintilian by Aldus Manutius. The first edition was published in August 1514. The text is edited by Andrea Navagero (1483-1527), one of the young poets from the Paduan circle, who was working for several years on the texts of Cicero, Lucretius (1515), Virgil (1514, Terence (1517), and the notoriously difficult text of Quintilian in close collusion with Aldus himself. Working in the famous Venice printing House of Aldus, he emerged as one of the ablest Latin editors of his time and, as librarian of the Marciana in Venice, he played a great part in the re-organization of the long-neglected manuscripts.On the verso of the title-page (unlike the first edition, mentioning the full title above Aldus's printer's device; the date '1522' is probably a mistake as the colophon mentions 'January 1521' as the date of printing), is the dedication by Aldus to the Italian editor and compiler Giambattista Ramusio (1485-1557), the author of the monumental Delle navigationi e viaggi, a collection of geographical accounts of explorations. After the contents of the twelve books on two leaves, the fourth leaf contains the translation into Latin of the Greeks words Quintilian had left un-translated (in the first edition this leaf is blank). Good copy in nice binding, with the armorial book-plate of Joseph [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Castellanus de Fara Jacobus
Tractatus novus de Canonizatione sanctorum editus
      - Roma, Marcello Silber, 1521. In-4°, 34 c.n.n., caratteri gotici. Frontespizio silografato con bordatura e grottesche. Legatura coeva in pergamena floscia. Ex libris dell'importantissima biblioteca privata del cardinale Giuseppe Renato Imperiale. Rara edizione originale di un'opera che tratta i nove punti il problema della canonizzazione dei santi, sostenendo che essa può essere attuata solo dal Papa. Rarità tipografica uscita da uno dei maggiori stampatori di Romana, Marcello Silber. Molto importante la provenienza. L'Imperiali, figlio del principe di Francavilla Michele Imperiali, e di Brigida dei Grimaldi di Monaco, nacque a Francavilla il 26 aprile 1651. Trascorsa la prima giovinezza a Genova, si recò a Roma presso il prozio cardinale Lorenzo Imperiali grazie al quale riuscì ad entrare nel collegio Germanico-Hungarico. Durante il papato di Clemente X fu nominato chierico della Camera Apostolica e sotto il pontificato di Papa Innocenzo XI ne divenne tesoriere generale.Alessandro VIII lo elevò al rango di cardinale nel concistoro del 13 febbraio 1690 con la diaconia di San Giorgio al Velabro. Dopo la nomina fu inviato a Ferrara come cardinale legato e nel 1696 tornò a Roma per esercitare la carica di prefetto della Sacra Congregazione del Buon Governo. Negli anni successivi ricevette incarichi politici di rilievo e tanta fu la stima conquistata dal cardinale presso gli ambienti ecclesiastici, che, nel Conclave del 1724, ottenne una candidatura a successore di Innocenzo XIII. Dal 1727 gli fu affidato il titolo cardinalizio di San Lorenzo in Lucina. Alla morte di Benedetto XIII, nel 1730, grazie soprattutto alla sua esperienza e capacità di uomo politico, il Cardinale Imperiali fu uno dei candidati favoriti per l’ascensione al soglio pontificio e nel conclave dello stesso anno ottenne ben 18 voti. A causa della sua età avanzata e dell'ostilità del re di Spagna che pose il veto alla sua candidatura, l’Imperiali non fu eletto.Al momento del conclave il cardinale era già quasi ottantenne. Morì il 18 febbraio 1737 all'età di 86 anni.(Olschki 4283 "Livret très rares, dedié au pape Léon X"; Sander 1788; Assente nel Sander; Alberto Tinto, Gli annali tipografici di Eucario e Marcello Silber (1501-1527).

Martyr, Peter:
DE NUPER SUB D. CAROLO REPERTIS INSULIS, SIMULQ[UE] INCOLARUM MORIBUS.
      Basel: [Adam Petri], . 1521 - 43pp. (pp. 20 and 21 misnumbered). Woodcut title border. Small quarto. Later vellum boards. Boards lightly rubbed, endpapers torn. Old faint institutional ink stamp on front free endpaper, titlepage, and verso of final text leaf; small neat ink number on front pastedown and titlepage. Slight tanning in some text margins, early ink marginalia and neat underlining on pp. 32 and 33. Overall, a very good copy. In a half morocco box. Martyr's 1521 Basel letter, which contains information from the lost First Cortés Letter. This is a key work for the New World from 1516 to 1520, including the conquest of Mexico and a description of Cuba. "This is Martyr's first narrative of the discovery made by Grijalva and the expedition of Cortes to Mexico, added to a fuller account of Cuba than was contained in his three decades already printed. Harrisse called this work an extract from the Fourth Decade, but it is evidently a much more important work, Stevens and other authorities defining it as a substitute for the lost first Cortes letter. This work supplements, rather than overlaps other narratives by the author" - Streeter. According to the Church entry on the famous Cortés Letters addressed to Emperor Charles V: "The first of these, known as the Lost First Letter, is supposed to have been written at Vera Cruz, July 10, 1519. Whether it was actually lost or suppressed by the Council for the Indies, at the request of Narvaez, is unknown.As this Letter is mentioned by Cortes in his Second Letter and by other contemporaneous writers, there can be no doubt of its having been written. Extensive researches made by later historians have, however, failed to bring it to light. A publication by Peter Martyr, entitled DE NUPER SUB D. CAROLO REPERTIS INSULIS, published at Basel in 1521, is usually substituted for it." A remarkably important piece of Americana, recounting to Europe for the first time the exploits of Cortés at the beginning of the Conquest.

Manuscrit religieux de la fin du Xve-début XVIe siècle Livre d'heures - Book of Hours - Horarium - Stundenbuch
      1521 - 77 feuillets. Sur le premier feuillet on trouve la date du (18 ?) janvier 1521 (terminus ad quem). Il s’agit d’un livre d'heures ou de dévotion qui renferme plusieurs pièces écrites en latin ou en vieux français. Parmi celles-ci, il y a un calendrier des saints au début, un office de la Vierge, une vie de saint Etienne ( ?) ou encore un récit de la Passion ( ?). Il y a eu probablement plusieurs scribes. Le support utilisé est le parchemin. Quelques petites lettrines (dont une collée), des bois gravés (collés) et surtout 3 miniatures dans ce qui est supposé être la vie de saint Etienne illustrent le document. Parmi ces dernières, une est pratiquement effacée et une autre a perdu un peu de couleur mais elles ont été refaites à une date qui est difficile à déterminer et se trouvent en supplément à la fin du livre (feuilles volantes) dans du papier protecteur. This is an authentic religious manuscript dated end 15th – beginning 16th century. On the first page is noted the date of the (18th ?) january, 1521 (terminus ad quem). This is an old devotion book containing several texts written in Latin and Old French. Within are a calendar of the Saints at the beginning, then an "Office de la Vierge", a "Life of St Stephen (Etienne)" and also a story of the Passion (?). There were probably more than one writer. Written on old parchment. Several small illustrated letters (one glued on the parchment ),engraved woods (glued) and principally three miniatures (illustrations) in what is supposed to be the life of St Stephen (Etienne) illustrating the document. In those last miniatures (illustrations), one is nearly erased and an other has faded colors but they were done again (difficult to date those new ones) and are added as supplement at the end of the book in a paper protection. Pour les 3 miniatures, il s'agit de courtes notices en vieux français sur saint Etienne, saint Laurent et saint Sébastien. on reconnait leurs attributs. 1 volumes. 360 gr Reliure en vélin ancien en bon état.

Opuscula sedulo undequaq(ue) collecta, & dilige(n)ter. recognita
      Badius Ascensius Paris 1521 Contemporary blindstamped calf over wooden boards (head and tail of spine repaired; new end-papers), decorated with ornamental rolls BOUND WITH CRINITO, Pietro. De Honesta Disciplina, Lib. xxv; De Peotis Latinis Lib. v; et Poematum, Lib. II cu índícibseu capitibus singluorum operu; cuqz tabellis alphabeticis rerum, dictorumqz insigniu ad finem capitum de honesta disciplina, ab Ascensio collectis & appositis. Paris: Badius Ascenius, 1520. [8], 109, [1] leaves, 1 blank leaf. With woodcut title- border and printer's device (of a press in a printer's shop; with monogram IB); large woodcut intials. Two pages of early manuscript in same hand as on first title-page (appears to be French verse). Folio . I. New revised second (1st: 1514) and much enlarged edition of this collection of the miscellaneous works by Plutarch which were translated by various hands here edited by Badius. On the verso of the title-page appears Badius' dedicatory letter to Louis Ruzé (dated July 1521).Translations from the Greek by Niccolò Sagundino, Angelo Poliziano, Guillaume Budé, Willibald Pirckheimer, Philippe Melanchthon, Erasmus of Rotterdam, and eight others. One of Erasmus' translations includes his original dedication to Henry VIII (leaf CLV verso). Included here is his "Politica," "De Liberis educandis," "Apophthegmata," "De Placitis Philosoph.," "Musica," "Problemata," "De Odio & Invidia," "De Fortuna Romano." "De Claris Mulieribus," "De Exilio, and many others. No copies located of this or the 1514 edition located in the OCLC (1 copy of the 1526 edition: Huntington). II. This is the fourth Badius edition, augmented and revised, of these popular texts by the Florentine poet and humansit, Pietro Crinito (1465-1505), who had been a pupil of Angelo Poliziano and friend of Pico della Mirandola. De honesta disciplina, based on the model of Gellius' Noctes Atticae, is a miscellany of notes on classical literature, history, archaelology, etc. De poetis Latinis, (1st: 1505) has the distinction of being the first "modern" history of Roman literautre, containing the biographies of all the major Latin poets. OCLC locates only only Harvard University copy in the US of the Crinito volume. Desirable sammelband of two important and rare humanistic works which are also of particular interest in the history of printing. The two titles feature the two different famous printer's devices of Josse Badius (1462-1535), the first scholar-printer in France, which includes the first use of a printing press. The earlier device (in Crinito), which is signed "IB", included errors that had to be corrected in a new version (Plutarchus) ascribed to the school of Albrecht Durer (see Bigmore-Wymann.). Regarding this device; Renouard, II, Marques typographiques, Pl. B 6, 2-3, for J. Major's Historia Britanniae, 1521; Renouard calls this 2-2 at II:#561; "ascribed to the hand of Dürer and contains a figure strongly resembling the Master himself" (H. W. Davies, Devices of the early printer, #247). The two devices seem to feature here in their very earliest use [14], 181 leaves, 1 blank leaf. With woodcut title-border and woodcut printer's device (of a press in a printer's shop; dated 1520); large woodcut intials. Early ownership inscription along bottom of title-page. Few minor damp marks in a few blank margins. § I. Renouard, Imprimeurs & Libr. Parisiens p. 206, no. 493; cf. Hollstein VII, 274 (for 1st printer's device). II.

GUICCIARDINI Jacopo (Firenze 1480 -
Uomo di stato. Patrizio di Firenze, fu Commissario di Borgo San Sepolcro nel 1516, Vicepresidente della Romagna nel 1525, Ambasciatore dal Papa nel 1529 e Vicario di Scarperia nel 1549. Nel 1504 sposò Camilla, figlia di Angelo de' Bardi.
      - Lettera interamente autografa del 25 settembre 1521. Risponde alla richiesta del suo corrispondente circa le esigenze della milizia la quale necessita l'invio di materiale bellico per far fronte alle truppe nemiche. Il corrispondente aveva infatti reclamato "pezzi di piombo piccoli e grandi", "archibugi otto e in più ruote trenta" di cui "quattro servanti da carro", rihiesta accolta da Guicciardini. In nota aggiunge che la pesa del piombo non è ancora stata eseguita tuttavia promette che ciò verrà fatto l'indomani. Il 1521 fu l'anno in cui ebbe inizio il lungo conflitto franco-imperiale per l'appropriazione del Ducato di Milano; Francesco I di Francia tentò di evitare che il proprio regno rimanesse attanagliato tra Spagna e Impero di Germania, territori in mano a Carlo V. Firenze dal canto suo rispose all'appello dei francesi; il sanguinoso conflitto, che coinvolse numerosi paesi dell'Europa, si potrasse per ben più di un ventennio. Una pagina in-4°. Lacune ai margini bianchi. Sigillo a secco e breve annotazione manoscritta sulla pagina dell'indirizzo di cui è assente l'altra metà.; Tipologia di articolo: Autografi ( ove non altrimenti specificato) / Book Type: autograph/document (Unless differently specified).
