Werner "Dear Mr. Werner: The Jack London scheme looks very promising. You should, in fact, do a whole book on him after you finish with Brigham Young. The literature on him is very bad. His wife's two books simply gurgle. He was ruined, of course, by money -- the god of the Socialists living like a feudal baron on a $250,000 estate! The man, I believe, was more interesting than his books. Getting the latter would probably be difficult; many of them are out of print. But I suppose they are in most public libraries. Why not give us a chance at some of your Young stuff? Or is it otherwise disposed of? I'd be delighted to print an article on that great and puissant man. Sincerely yours." M.R.

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 Waldseem�ller 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-m�ller 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.       [Bookseller: Alibris]  19.   Check availability:     Alibris   Link/Print   PLINE LE JEUNE C.

Titel innerhalb Holzschnittbord�re, erstes Textblatt mit Holzschnittbord�re und Holzschnittinitiale, ganzs. Holzschnitt-Druckermarke auf Schlussblatt verso. [200] Bl. Kalbslederband d. Z. mit Blindpr�gung (R�cken �ber 3 B�nden erneuert, Gelenke teilw. eingerissen, oberes Kapital besch�digt, neuere Vors�tze, ohne die beiden Schliessen). Seltener K�lner Druck von Erasmus' Paraphrasen zum Neuen Testament, die auch dem theologisch nicht vorgebildeten Leser den Zugang zur Heiligen Schrift erleichtern sollten, weshalb sie auch bald �bersetzt wurden. In der Widmung der Paraphrasen des Johannes-Evangliums an Ferdinand I. gesteht der Humanist, dass das letzte Evangelium auch das schwierigste sei und dem Verst�ndnis gr�ssere M�he bereiten k�nne. Der seit 1513 zuerst als Buchh�ndler in K�ln t�tige Eucharius Cervicornus (auch Eucharius Agrippinae, deutscher Name: Hirtzhorn) druckte zwischen 1516 und 1547 eine grosse Anzahl meist humanistischer Schriften. Sein letzter K�lner Druck datiert von 1543, ein Koblenzer Druck von 1547. Der Sohn Gottfried Cervicornus ist als Nachfolger, mit Unterbrechungen bis 1577 nachweisbar. - Mit zeitgen�ssischen Marginalien vor allem zu Beginn, wenige schwache Wasserflecken hie und da; ein vorz�gliches Exemplar in einem sch�nen zeitgen�ssischen Blindpr�geeinband. VD 16 E-3348 (1 Ex. im Germanischen Nationalmuseum N�rnberg); Bezzel 1489 (ebenfalls nur das N�rnberger Ex.). Nicht in De Reuck, Vander Haeghen, STC, (German), Adams etc. Exceedingly rare Cologne edition of Erasmus' Paraphrase on the Gospel of John, first published in March 1523 by Johann Froben in Basel. Erasmus' paraphrases had the advantage of being a comparatively new form when they were written, and they were so well-liked and became so popular that edition after edition was called for during his lifetime and after his death. The probably Cologne born printer Eucharius Cervicornus (or Eucharius Agrippinae, German name: Hirtzhorn) matriculated at the University of Cologne in 1513 and engaged as a bookseller at approximately the same year. In 1517 he started his printing press which flourished to 1547, printing a great number of humanist texts. The apparently only copy recorded of this print (kept by the Germanische Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg) is cited by VD 16 as well as by Bezzel. - With marginalia by a contemporary hand, few light waterstains hre and there, a very well-preserved copy in a fine binding. - Contemporary full calf with blind-tooling (restaured back damaged at head, clasps gone).       [Bookseller: Erasmushaus - Haus der B�cher AG]  21.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   PLINE LE JEUNE C.

A very good copy of a scarce early military and firework book.The first edition was published in 1521 and is exceptionally scarce. It was the first book to contain a section on fortification but our edition, the second, was the first to contain the 3 brief chapters on fireworks. These occupy the last 3 unnumbered leaves at the beginning and have the following headings: Per far trombe de fuoco de mirabile faccione; Per far balle de bronzo da trazere in un battagion de fanti, lequale schiopando fan grandissimo danno; Per fare fiaschi overo pignatelle di fuoco artificiato da trazere. This is probably the first printed description of military fireworks of this kind. See Chris Philip, A Bibliography of Firework Books, page 152, No. V010.1 listing the 1524 edition. The rest of the book deals with all aspects of besieging and defending a city including earthwork fortifications, and with battle formations and manoeuvres. Cockle, Bibliography of Military Books up to 1642, page 197 No. 765 listing the 1524 edition: "Il Vallo (The Defence), where it concerns engineering and artillery, is taken almost entirely from the ancients. Dela Valle has no scientific knowledge whatever, and writes from experience only. But the elementary character of his work made it accessible to the rudest soldier, and it ran through eleven editions in thirty-seven years, that is to say, more than any other military book in those times."

De Architectura traducto di Latino in Vulgare. (Venetia: Ioane Antonio & Piero Fratelli da Sabio, 1524). Tall, slim quarto, early vellum spine and paper-covered boards. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $18,500. Second edition in Italian of "the first of the great books on architecture and certainly the most influential of them all" (Avery 2), with 136 woodcut figures and diagrams and 101 woodcut initials. Vitruvius was "simply a very well informed, experienced Roman architect-engineer of the first century B.C. (his book is dedicated to the Emperor Augustus) who put everything he knew into ten so-called books of text. He deals with the education of the architect, with the fundamental principles of architecture (order, arrangement, eurythmy, symmetry, propriety and economy are his terms), with siting, material, constructions, building types (such as dwellings, temples, prisons and theaters), with weather conditions and even with astrology. To the Renaissance and indeed to all later followers of the classic tradition, his was the authentic voice of antiquity! all the more so since, through a ghastly fluke of history, all Greek writing on architecture has been lost. Thus our knowledge not only of Roman but also of Greek architectural theory (on the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders, on proportions, modules and ratios etc.) derives from this scholarly but sober Roman who in the introduction to his seventh 'book' lists all his Greek sources!the first bibliography in architectural literature" (Avery 2). "Important as our prime source of many lost Greek writings on the subject and as a guide to archaeological research in Italy and Greece. By exemplifying the principles of classical architecture it became the fundamental architectural handbook for centuries! Alberti, Bramante, Ghiberti, Michelangelo, Vignola, Palladio and many others were directly inspired by Vitruvius" (PMM 26). First published in Rome between 1483 and 1490. The text of this edition is "from the Italian text of the Como edition [1521], edited by Francesco Lutio Durantino. The illustrations are close copies, and follow page by page the arrangement of the 1511 [Venice] edition. The title page border is also from that edition" (Fowler 398). Title page printed in red and black. Opens with 37-page index of terms used in the book. Text in Italian. See Avery 2, PMM 26.

Born at Varazoin, near Pamplona, he studied at Alcal? de Henares, Toulouse and Cahors. Around 1524 he went to Salamanca, where he lectured on canon law until 1538. At that time D. Jo?o III asked his brother-in-law, the Emperor Charles V, to allow Azpilcueta to teach at Coimbra. For 17 years Azpilcueta taught, wrote and published there; then he returned to Spain, and later went on to Rome, where he lived and continued to publish until his death in 1586, at age 94. He was held in high esteem by Philip II of Spain, Cardinal San Carlo Borromeo, and Popes Pius V, Gregory XIII and Sixtus V. (See Argita y Lasa, @El Doctor Navarro D.

[4],49,[1],12 leaves, including two portraits, plus half of the folding map (the remainder of the folding map supplied in excellent facsimile). Tall quarto. Modern blindstamped calf in period style. Minor soiling in the text, else very good. The eastern portion of the map is present and in excellent condition; the western portion in superb facsimile. The first Latin edition of Cortes' second letter, after its original publication in Seville in 1522. The work was translated by Petrus Savorgnanus. This copy bears the portrait of Pope Clement VII on the verso of the fourth preliminary leaf, which is not found with all copies. Cortes' second letter, dated Oct. 30, 1520, provides a vivid account of the people he encountered and fought en route to Tenochtitlan, painting a picture of an impressive empire centered around a great city. He relates his scrape with rival Velazquez and gives a wonderful description of the buildings, institutions, and court at Tenochtitlan. It is here that Cortes provides a definitive name for the country, calling it "New Spain of the Ocean Sea." This letter is also important for making reference to Cortes' "lost" first letter, supposedly composed at Vera Cruz on July 10, 1520. Whether that letter was actually lost or suppressed by the Council of the Indies is unknown, but there is little doubt it once existed. The text is the first major announcement to the world of the discovery of major civilizations in the New World, and as such is a work of surpassing importance. As usual, the second letter is here bound with Peter Martyr's DE REBUS, ET INSULIS NOVITER REPERTIS..., which provides an account of the recently discovered islands of the West Indies and their inhabitants. It is often considered a substitute for the lost first Cortes letter. The extant portion of the extremely rare map shows the Gulf of Mexico, with a bevy of named rivers running into it. "[This] is the first accurate delineation of the Gulf of Mexico and the first to use the name Florida. In his letter Cortes claims that the delineation of the Mexico coast came from Montezuma himself" - Burden. Yucatan is erroneously depicted as an island, a mistake which would plague numerous future explorers and cartographers. The right-most portion of the map, which has been trimmed away, included the plan of the city of Mexico, considered to be the first printed depiction of an American city. This portion is supplied in expert facsimile. One of the most important early descriptions of Mexico and the first encounter of the West with the Aztec civilization, and a work of bedrock importance to the New World.

Fin novembre de la m�me ann�e, il donne Expositio orationis dominicae, partag� avec Berthold Rembolt.

De la troisi�me il a pu en localiser un exemplaire � la Biblioth�que Nationale (Paris), un exemplaire dans la biblioth�que Victor Cousin et un autre � la biblioth�que d’Amiens. La British Library en poss�de un exemplaire ainsi que la ville de Tournai. Aucun autre exemplaire localis� en 1908 par Renouard. Depuis la biblioth�que de Tours (Les biblioth�ques Virtuelles Humanistes, Centre d'�tudes Sup�rieures de la Renaissance) en poss�de �galement un exemplaire aux armes de De Thou. La biblioth�que de Rouen en poss�de un exemplaire ins�r� dans un recueil factice. Les �ditions des �crits de Savonarole par Josse Bade ont la particularit� d’avoir �t� imprim�e dans le format in-8, peu fr�quent chez cet �diteur qui avait l’habitude d’imprimer au format in-4 ou in-folio. On n’en d�nombre environ 70 seulement. �galement appel� Hieronymus Savonarola ou encore Girolamo Savonarole, il est connu pour ses r�formes religieuses, ses pr�ches anti-humanistes, son b�cher des vanit�s o� disparurent de nombreux livres et de nombreuses œuvres d’art. Il pr�cha de fa�on v�h�mente contre la corruption morale du clerg� catholique, sans toutefois remettre en cause le dogme. Diff�remment consid�r� par les uns et par les autres, la figure de Savonarole ne laisse en tous les cas pas indiff�rent. � Fou de dieu � ou � Pr�curseur de la r�forme �, � H�r�tique � ou � Saint � pour les autres, Savonarole fascine les esprits jusqu’� aujourd’hui. Son Triomphe de la croix, publi� � Paris en latin par Badius Ascensius pour la premi�re fois en 1523-1524, est un texte qui initiait le lecteur au pressentiment que le monde en �tait � son dernier �ge et le mettait en devoir d’�tre vigilant, dans tous ses instants, face � l’annonce de la venue des faux proph�tes et de l’Ant�christ. Il est int�ressant de rappeler que justement dans les ann�es 1520, un pr�dicateur dominicain du nom de Santo Pagnini, disciple de Savonarole, pratiquait activement, � Lyon, la pr�dication antiluth�rienne. Le premier XVIe si�cle est un temps de fr�missements, de tremblements devant l’imminence de la venue de Dieu. Lire � ce sujet l’int�ressant ouvrage de Denis Crouzet, Les guerriers de Dieu.

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. In 1524 Lorenzo Lotto (Venice, 1480-Loreto, 1556), one of the greatest Italian artists of the Renaissance, painted the walls of a small oratory. The building, owned by Battista Suardi, the nobleman who had commissioned the frescoes, was situated in the garden of his country house at Trescore Balneario, a few miles from Bergamo. The encounter between the Venetian painter and his refined patron, in a year marked by obscure signs in the heavens and heretical stirrings, produced one of the century's most unusual cycles of paintings, not only from the artistic viewpoint but also from that of the complexity of its doctrinal underpinnings. The paintings of the great Venetian artist are thoroughly analyzed on the visual plane as well, by means of a lavish set of illustrations. A series of explanatory diagrams and close-up photographs, on a one-to-one scale, permit the reader to appreciate the high formal qualities of this cycle of paintings and to get to the heart of its beauty and meaning. In this volume the author, Francesca Cortesi Bosco, traces the dense web of religious and cultural motivations that lie behind Lotto's masterpiece, presenting a fascinating picture of the artistic life of the time and opening up completely new prospects for its interpretation. Francesca Cortesi Bosco is an expert on the painting of the Renaissance. The author of a series of essays on Lorenzo Lotto that have appeared in magazines, she has also published Gli affreschi dell'Oratorio Suardi. Lorenzo Lotto nella crisi della Riforma (Bergamo 1980) and Il coro intarsiato di Lotto e Capoferri per Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo (Bergamo 1987).

It is certainly an excellent one, and if I can track it down I'll include it in my next edition. My Dictionary is doing pretty well, and so there will probably be another printing in the near future.

" In 1920, Terence and his wife Elsa (Smith class of 1911) opened their bookshop on 10 West 47th Street in New York City. The bookshop began to slowly grow, despite the Holliday's choice to ignore the advice of Frank Crowningshield of Vanity Fair, to "have a couple of attractive young ladies serve tea in the shop every afternoon. " Initially, the bookshop specialized in importing English books, as well as offering unusual and rare books, especially first editions of contemporary authors and private press books. Later, the Hollidays promoted the works of younger British and American poets and novelists, such as W. H. Auden, Thornton Wilder, Virginia Woolf, Aldous Huxley, Katherine Mansfield, William Faulkner, and T. S. Eliot. In 1925, the bookshop moved to 49 West 49th Street. This location was a propitious one, since there were specialty bookshops in the area. Rather than competing for customers, the bookshops cooperated, making referrals and placing orders for each other. Unfortunately, some of the larger publishers in competition with the Holliday were not nearly as gracious. The import of English editions was made difficult by the existing copyright laws, and the invention of "limited editions" from the larger houses also threatened business. The Hollidays weathered the Depression, with Terence lecturing occasionally and writing articles to make ends meet. However, by 1950, the difficulties of running the bookshop began to wear on Terence, and the Hollidays began to look for a buyer for their shop. A run of bad luck ensued, including two destructive fires of suspicious origin. In 1951, the Hollidays sold their bookstore to Robert T. Vanderbilt, and retired in Milford, Connecticut. Terence Holliday died in 1969 at the age of 84. Elsa Detmold Holliday died in 1991 at the age of 100. After 31 years of existence, the Holliday bookshop had become more than a bookshop; it had become an "Institution. "; Signed by Author .

Cologne, (Eucharius Cervicornus for Gottfried Hittorp, March) 1525. Ad I: Important collected edition of Josephus Flavius' (c. A.D. 37-95) main works, the first to include Erasmus' revised edition of "De Machabaeis". The twenty books of "De antiquitates Iudaeorum", here based on the Latin text version by the 4th-century theologian Tyrannius Ruffinus, cover the history of the Jews from creation to the outbreak of the war with Rome (67 A.D.). The account was finished by 93 A.D. and had the purpose to glorify the Jewish nation in the eyes of the Roman world. "De bello Iudaico" in seven books is the oldest of Josephus' extant writings, originally written in Aramaic towards the end of Vespasian's reign (79 A.D.). It is a narrative of the Jewish rebellion of 67-73 A.D. and probably had the purpose to impress on the Babylonian Jews the overwhelming power of Rome and thereby to deter them from repeating the futile revolt of the Jews of Palestine. "De antiquitatibus contra Appionem", aimed against the anti-Semite Apion from Alexandria, is a defence against current misaprehension of Jews. Both these texts are based on the Latin version of Sigismund Gelenius and on newly discovered manuscripts from France, Germany, and Poland. They are followed by "De imperio rationis" (or "De Machabaeis") revised by Erasmus, an epitomized chronicle of the Maccabean passion, i.e. of the martyrdom of Eleazar and of seven youths during the persecution under Antiochus Epiphanes, a work only attributed to Josephus. Erasmus' revision was first published separately in 1517. The fine woodcuts by Anton Woensam appear here for the first time. The title border shows the 12 labours of Hercules and his choice (Merlo 1044, 433). The initials are cut after D�rer's children's alphabet (Merlo 1078, 538). The lavish text borders with grotesques and putti show Agrippina and her husband Agrippa in the centre of the columns left and right (Merlo 1054, 452), the lower ornamental piece is monogrammed "EC" (Eucharius Cervicornus) and bears the printer's device. - VD 16 J 957; Adams J-355.

Ad II: Free Latin adaptation of the "Jewish War" with additions from the "Jewish Antiquities" and from the works of Roman historians, supposedly written by Hegesippus, now generally believed to be a corruption of the name of the original author. The attribution of the translation of this work to St. Ambrose, bishop of Milan, is no longer upheld. The present edition is introduced with a letter from Ph. Melanchthon to G. Hittorp. The title frame after Holbein shows a porticus with two groups of men of which one on the right side is marked as "Dionysius" (Merlo 1051, 448). The lower part depicts Cleopatra clasping two snakes to her breasts. - Occasional minor fingerprints, on the whole a fine copy of this important edition. - VD 16 H 1253; Adams H-146; Graesse III, 230.

A very good copy of a scarce early military and firework book. The first edition was published in 1521 and is exceptionally scarce. It was the first book to contain a section on fortification but our edition, the second, was the first to contain the 3 brief chapters on fireworks. These occupy the last 3 unnumbered leaves at the beginning and have the following headings: Per far trombe de fuoco de mirabile faccione; Per far balle de bronzo da trazere in un battagion de fanti, lequale schiopando fan grandissimo danno; Per fare fiaschi overo pignatelle di fuoco artificiato da trazere. This is probably the first printed description of military fireworks of this kind. See Chris Philip, A Bibliography of Firework Books, page 152, No. V010.1 listing the 1524 edition. The rest of the book deals with all aspects of besieging and defending a city including earthwork fortifications, and with battle formations and manoeuvres. Cockle, Bibliography of Military Books up to 1642, page 197 No. 765 listing the 1524 edition: "Il Vallo (The Defence), where it concerns engineering and artillery, is taken almost entirely from the ancients. Dela Valle has no scientific knowledge whatever, and writes from experience only. But the elementary character of his work made it accessible to the rudest soldier, and it ran through eleven editions in thirty-seven years, that is to say, more than any other military book in those times."

Minor worming to bottom (blank) margin of title leaf. Occasional light marginal damp-staining. A few leaves with early marginal notes and several passages underlined Couple of leaves with short marginal tears (without loss). Generally very clean, attractive, wide-margined copy. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Onus Ecclesi� (i.e. "Burden of the Church"), written in 1519 and published anonymously (Landshut, 1524), is a fearless exposition, from a Catholic point of view, of the abuses then prevalent in the Church, calling for a purifying reform. The book occasioned much comment and controversy, and was several times reprinted. Around 1550 it was placed on the Index of heretical books. Ebert (A General Bibliographical Dictionary, 10784) calls this 1st edition "very scarce," noting that the 1531 Cologne reprint of the work is "mutilated". The magnificent large woodcut (Dodgson II, 428) on the title page illustrates various passages from the Book of Revelation. Let loose from his dungeon Satan (perhaps representing the protestants) is seen setting about the Church with cudgel and sword.

Lo stesso bibliografo afferma che "pur seguendo cronologicamente l'editio princeps (impressa a Ferrara, senza note tipogr.), questa stampa di Roma non puo' dirsi con certezza la seconda edizione dei Suppositi in prosa, inquantoche' senza dubbio e' esistita una stampa di Siena del 1523, ricordata dal Mazzuchelli, dal Gamba, dal Polidori". Per l'identicita' delle caratteristiche tipografiche (caratteri, frontespizio, formato) puo' essere considerata "gemella" della "Cassaria" in prosa del 1525 (Roma, s.n.t., in-12) e, come quella, e' da attribuirsi all'officina tipografica del Mazzocco (op. cit., pp. 83 e 96); c'e' da notare, pero', che lo STC (Italian Books, p. 38) e ICCU (A-2509) l'attribuiscono allo stampatore Francesco Minizio Calvo. Composta nel 1508 e rappressentata nel febbraio del 1509, la comedia e' fondata tutta sopra sostituzioni di persone e sopra equivoci, a imitazione dell'Eunuco di Terenzio e dei Captivi di Plauto.

Written early in his career, this pamphlet appears to have made Osiander's reputation as a prominent Lutheran reformer. => This is the rarer of two 1524 editions (we were able to trace only one copy in the U.S.), and it is listed by VD16 as the first. The other was printed in October of the same year by Hieronymus H�ltzel, also of Nuremberg.

Francois Hotman (1524-1590), celebre rappresentante della scuola �culta� francese, mosse critiche radicali al diritto giustinianeo (e tribonianeo) con l'intento dichiarato di affermare la crescita di un diritto nazionale divincolato, per quanto concerne ogni forma di vigenza, dal diritto romano, considerato oramai mero exemplum. Anche in seguito all'impegno dell'Hotman le forti spinte ideologiche di politica nazionale fecero della Francia, ed in particolare di Bourges, il principale centro giuridico del Cinquecento. Questa celebre opera, accompagnata in quest'edizione da un interessante commento critico di Jean Papire Masson (1544-1611), rappresenta la sintesi ideale del pensiero politico di Hotman, sempre indirizzato alla negazione del potere assoluto del re. Di grande interesse anche il trattato "De jure territorii" di Andreas von Knichen (1560-1621), dedicato ai rapporti giurisdizionali tra potere imperiale e poteri territoriali. Non comune e ricercato.

In der Widmung der Paraphrasen des Johannes-Evangliums an Ferdinand I. gesteht der Humanist, dass das letzte Evangelium auch das schwierigste sei und dem Verst�ndnis gr�ssere M�he bereiten k�nne. Der seit 1513 zuerst als Buchh�ndler in K�ln t�tige Eucharius Cervicornus (auch Eucharius Agrippinae, deutscher Name: Hirtzhorn) druckte zwischen 1516 und 1547 eine grosse Anzahl meist humanistischer Schriften.

Nicht in De Reuck, Vander Haeghen, STC, (German), Adams etc. Exceedingly rare Cologne edition of Erasmus' Paraphrase on the Gospel of John, first published in March 1523 by Johann Froben in Basel. Erasmus' paraphrases had the advantage of being a comparatively new form when they were written, and they were so well-liked and became so popular that edition after edition was called for during his lifetime and after his death. The probably Cologne born printer Eucharius Cervicornus (or Eucharius Agrippinae, German name: Hirtzhorn) matriculated at the University of Cologne in 1513 and engaged as a bookseller at approximately the same year. In 1517 he started his printing press which flourished to 1547, printing a great number of humanist texts. The apparently only copy recorded of this print (kept by the Germanische Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg) is cited by VD 16 as well as by Bezzel. - With marginalia by a contemporary hand, few light waterstains hre and there, a very well-preserved copy in a fine binding. - Contemporary full calf with blind-tooling (restaured back damaged at head, clasps gone).       [Bookseller: Erasmushaus - Haus der B�cher AG]  72.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   LEONICUS THOMAEUS Nicolaus Dialogi, nunc primum in lucem editi.       (In fine:) Venetiis, Greg. de Gregoriis, 1524, in-4, ff.

Particolarmente interessanti il primo che tratta della divinazione e delle varie forme di premonizione; il secondo, in cui, prendendo posizione nella discusssione provocata dal Pomponazzi, sostiene che l'anima, sostanza semovente e separata, come vogliono Platone ed Aristotele, � immortale; il penultimo che tocca la gastronomia e la medicina (l'alica � una qualit� di orzo con cui si preparava una tisana; per altri "opuscula" l'autore � registrato nelle bibliografie di medicina di Wellcome e Durling); ed infine l'ultimo che riferisce di quel tipo di rappresetazione musicale in cui gli attori venivano vestiti d'una tunica (talaris) lunga sino ai talloni.

PLEASE NOTE that we do not offer expedited shipping. Orders placed with the priority shipping option will automatically be canceled. In 1524 Lorenzo Lotto (Venice, 1480-Loreto, 1556), one of the greatest Italian artists of the Renaissance, painted the walls of a small oratory. The building, owned by Battista Suardi, the nobleman who had commissioned the frescoes, was situated in the garden of his country house at Trescore Balneario, a few miles from Bergamo. The encounter between the Venetian painter and his refined patron, in a year marked by obscure signs in the heavens and heretical stirrings, produced one of the century's most unusual cycles of paintings, not only from the artistic viewpoint but also from that of the complexity of its doctrinal underpinnings. The paintings of the great Venetian artist are thoroughly analyzed on the visual plane as well, by means of a lavish set of illustrations. A series of explanatory diagrams and close-up photographs, on a one-to-one scale, permit the reader to appreciate the high formal qualities of this cycle of paintings and to get to the heart of its beauty and meaning. In this volume the author, Francesca Cortesi Bosco, traces the dense web of religious and cultural motivations that lie behind Lotto's masterpiece, presenting a fascinating picture of the artistic life of the time and opening up completely new prospects for its interpretation. Francesca Cortesi Bosco is an expert on the painting of the Renaissance. The author of a series of essays on Lorenzo Lotto that have appeared in magazines, she has also published Gli affreschi dell'Oratorio Suardi.

A very well preserved copy of this sixteenth century treatise in its first edition on the history of the roman empire from the Emperor Diocletianus, who divided the empire in East and West to the death of Justinianus and the destruction of the Empire upon the longobard invasions. The treatise is the work of the Italian humanist Carolus Sigonius born in Modena around the year 1524. He attended the philosophical schools of Bologna and Pavia, and in 1545 was elected professor of Greek in his native place in succession to Franciscus Portus of Candia . In 1552 he was appointed to a professorship at Venice, and then to the chair of Eloquence at Padua in 1560. Sigonius's reputation chiefly rests upon his publications on Greek and Roman antiquities, very detailed works, among which is worth remember : Fasti consulares (1550), with an extended commentary, from the regal period to Tiberius, based on the study of fragments of old bronze tablets dug up in 1547 on the site of the old Forum. De antiquo jure Romanorum, Italiae, provinciarum (1560) and De Romanae jurisprudentiae judiciis (1574), De republica Atheniensium (1564) and De Atheniensium et Lacedaemoniorum temporibus (1565), the first well-arranged accounts of the constitution, history, and chronology of Athens and Sparta along with which may be mentioned a similar work on the religious, political, and military system of the Jews (De republica Ebraeorum) and his history of the Kingdom of Italy (De regno Italiae, 1580) from the invasion of longobards (568 AD) to the end of the 13th century. In order to obtain material for these works, Sigonius consulted all the archives and family chronicles of Italy as well as public and private libraries. At the request of Pope Gregory XIII he undertook to write the history of the Christian Church, but did not live to complete the work. The most complete edition of his works is that by P Argelati (Milan, 1732-1737), which contains his life by L.A Muratori. The Historiaum de Occidentali Imperio had 3 editions in the xvi century of which the present copy is the first edition (1578, Bologna) it was further reprinted in 1579 ( Basilea, 2nd ed. quarto ) and then 1593 (Frankofurti) .Wonderful copy in excellent conditions, very clean interiors, woodcut printer�s device on titlepage, beautifully carved woodcut decorated initials at the beginning of each Liber, text entirely framed in double-ruled borders, quarter vellum binding with titlepiece on spine and pale yellow coloured edges.FIRST EDITIONAn attractive copy in excellent antiquarian conditionsCfr.: FRANCIOSI, Della vita e delle opere di Carlo Sigonio Modena, (1872); HESSEL, De regno Italiae libri XX. von Carlo Sigonio, eine quellenkritische Untersuchung (1900); ADAMS, Catalogue of books printed on the continent of Europe, 1501-1600 in Cambridge Libraries.
