Tragoediae septem. Tragoediae nomina. Aiax flagellifer. Electra. Oedipus tyrannus. Antigone. Oedipus coloneus. Trachiniae. Philoctetes.       [Paris: Simon de Colines.] , 1528 - the issue without the final quire of errata (cf. Schreiber), lightly toned, line numbers and some underlining in pencil, a small marginal wormhole in second half, briefly stretching but only twice touching a character, ownership stamp depicting a rampant lion to title margin, ff. [200], 8vo., old sprinkled calf boards, rebacked in the twentieth century with brown morocco, backstrip with five raised bands, second compartment gilt-lettered direct, the rest plain, new endpapers (preserving old front papers), old leather a little worn at extremities, ownership inscriptions to endpapers, The third edition of Sophocles, and the first to be printed outside Italy. The text is based on that of the 1502 Aldine editio princeps. ?A very rare and neatly printed edition; it is much sought after by the Curious and is considered pretty correct? (Moss). ?In any state, it is a rare book? (Dibdin). The typeface, which de Colines takes full advantage of (printing only fifteen words on the title in Roman letters), is sometimes called his ?Sophocles type? after its use in this volume. It was his first Greek type, probably cut by Colines himself, and this is the first significant publication using it. This volume bears a number of gift inscriptions. The older front pastedown has an inscription to W. Cripps from the Rev?d Thos. Short accompanied by a note ?from the library of Peter Elmsley?. Above that is a what appears to be a purchase note (Elmsley?s?), ?28 Jan 1807, King & Lockie?. The recipient, W. Cripps, cannot be firmly identified, but Rev. Thomas Short is probably the tutor of Trinity College, Oxford (1789-1879), rather than his contemporary T.V. Short of Christ Church, and a barrister and MP named William Cripps (1805-1848) matriculated at Trinity while Short was in residence there. Peter Elmsley is the classical scholar (1774-1825), in his day the best British Hellenist since Porson and an important editor of Sophocles (see, e.g., Finglass, ?A Newly-Discovered Edition of Sophocles by Peter Elmsley? in GRBS 47, 2007). The older front flyleaf has an inscription of Charles Thomas Pettingal, dated 1801, another reading ?e dono J.H.G.,? and a substantial bibliographical note probably in the same hand as the purchase note on the pastedown. The new flyleaf bears a gift inscription: ?H. Lloyd-Jones / d.d. J.T.C. / praeceptor olim / iamdudum discipulus / MCMLXII?. Sir Hugh Lloyd-Jones (1922-2009), who among his other distinctions edited Sophocles for the Oxford Classical Text series and the Loeb Classical Library, was inspired to study classics by his headmaster at Westminster School, John Traill Christie (a Trinity man, who was noted for his teaching of Sophocles). This inscription, meaning ?a gift given by J.T.C. / the teacher once, / now the student?, dates from 1962, not long after Lloyd-Jones was appointed Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford, and his former headmaster would certainly have been very proud.

From the library of George M Foster. 1st edition.The Codice de Tlatelolco is anonymous manuscript that Miguel Leon-Portilla believes was written as early as 1528 from a Tlatelolco perspective. Believed to be te first document in Nahuatl rendered into alphabetic script. It consists of its own narrative that mentions things not discussed in the Florentine Codex but is entirely consistent with it. Like the Florentine Codex, it suggests that Malinche facilited almost all communication between the Mexicas and other indigenous peoples.George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated.

Illinois); not in Adams; BMC STC German; Cathedral Libraries Cat.; OCLC WorldCat; VD 16. EXREMELY RARE AND BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED Lutheran catechism by Cyriacus Spangenberg (1528-1604), known only from two other copies (one incomplete). It begins with an eight-page foreword by Hieronymus Mencel (1517-1590), dated 1 March 1564, followed by Spangenberg's own four-page note to the reader (where he provides information about his work on his book, begun more than nine years before, and about his late father Johan Spangenberg, a prolific theological author) and two-page dedication to the brothers Otto Heinrich and Johann Friedrich, Dukes of Braunschweig and L�neburg, also dated 1564 from "Thal Manssfeld." After the catechism comes Die Christliche Haustafel noted on the title-page, with a drop-title on its first page. It provides guidelines for behaviour, with chapters devoted to bishops, ministers and other religious leaders, members of the congregation, people in government, servants, married men and women, parents, children, men and women generally, various sorts of servants and workmen, young people, widows and others.The book did indeed appear in the year 1564, also printed by Bawman in Erfurt. The present edition is new, however, with quite a different collation and corrected by the author. A third edition printed by Michel Schmuck at Schmalkalden appeared in 1566. OCLC WorldCat, the Karlsruher Virt. Katalog and the NUC record several copies of the 1564 and 1566 editions, as well as five later editions before the end of the century, but the only copies located for this first corrected edition are at the Universit�tsbibliothek T�bingen and the University of Illinois.The Haustafel begins a new alphabet series in the signatures, and (with a Schwabacher type for its main text and italic for the marginal notes) differs typographically from the rest of the book (which uses a fraktur for its main text with notes in a smaller heavy fraktur and Latin passages in an attractive Venetian-style roman with small capitals), but the two parts use the same rotunda for the running heads and some quotations, and the preliminaries (set in a third fraktur) use both the small fraktur of the catechism and the italic of the Haustafel for its marginal notes. So the colophon at the end of the Haustafel likely applies to the entire book: "Gedruckt zu Erffurdt, durch Georgium Bawman, zum bunten Lawen, bey Sanct Paul."Both boards richly blind-tooled in panels, with roundels containing portraits of Erasmus, Luther, Melanchthon and Huss, and in the central panel a larger figure of Justice with sword and scales, with the motto, ":IVSTICIA QVISQVIS PICTVRA:LVMINE CERNIS:DIC*DEVS EST*IVSTVS."Hand-written owners' inscriptions and marginal notes, sixteenth-eighteenth centuries; waterstained throughout, with the title-page damaged (not affecting the text or woodcut), and lacking only the final blank leaf (present in the T�bingen copy; the Illinois copy lacks this and three printed leaves). With minor marginal worm damage in the first forty and last five leaves, not affecting the text or woodcuts, a few minor tears (three very slightly affecting a catchword, one word in a marginal note and three words of the main text) and stains, small corners of two leaves gone (not affecting the text), and the text areas of an occasional sheet browned. Some pages numbered in manuscript to "826" (beginning with "1" on the second leaf and skipping one leaf between pp. "1" and "13"). Binding good, with only a few small wormholes and slightly rubbed. A sound and complete copy of an extremely rare catechism in an interesting and attractive contemporary binding.       [Bookseller: ASHER Rare Books]  6.   Check availability:     AbeBooks   Link/Print   BORDONE, Benedetto di ISOLARIO di Benedetto Bordone Nel qual si ragiona di tutte l'Isole del mondo, con li lor nomi antichi & moderni, historie, favole, & modi del loro vivere       Venice: Niccolo Zoppino, 1528. * Theatrum Orbis Terrarum facsimile edition edited by R.A. Skelton; see Harrisse, Bibliotheca americana vetustissima, no. 187; Sabin 6417; for the 1547 edition, see Mortimer, Italian, 82.. Small folio [31.5 x 22 cm], (10) pp., 73 ff., including title printed in red and black, with 2 full-page and 3 double-page maps and many maps in the text. Bound in early vellum over boards. Edges of title restored, gutter of initial and final leaves reinforced, single wormtrack through first 9 leaves, occasionally touching printed surface; light handsoiling throughout, but maps in strong impressions, overall good. Rare first edition. The isolario, or !book of islands,! was a cartographic form introduced and developed in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries. Like the portolano, or pilot-book, to which it was related, it had its origin in the Mediterranean, as an illustrated guide for travelers in the Aegean Archipelago and the Levant. Bordone!s Isolario was the second isolario to be printed and the first to give prominence to the transatlantic discoveries. Skelton quotes Almagia as saying that it is, in fact, !the earliest complete work of its kind to have been produced by the printing-press in Italy or anywhere else.!The Isolario is divided into three books, devoted respectively to the !islands and peninsulas! of the western ocean, to the Mediterranean, and to islands of the Indian Ocean and the Far East. While this order corresponds very roughly to that of Ptolemy, it gives conspicuous priority to the discoveries across the Atlantic. Besides a page of diagrams illustrating the construction of a circular world map and windroses of !ancient! and !modern type,! there are three general maps: Europe, the Aegean, and an oval world map. Scattered through the text, in the appropriate places, are 107 small maps, plans or views including a nearly three-quarter page plan of Mexico City before the conquest of Cortez!which qualifies because it is an island.According to Cortazzi, in his Isles of Gold Antique Maps of Japan: !In 1528 the Italian cartographer Benedetto Bordone (1460-1531) produced an atlas of islands printed in Italy by Nicolo d!Aristotle. In it he included a small map of an island which he called !Ciampagu,! presumably another version of Cipangu. This would seem to be the earliest European printed individual map of Japan! (p. 15).Bordone was a Paduan illuminator and wood-engraver who was apparently established at Venice by 1494.       [Bookseller: Martayan Lan, Inc.]  7.   Check availability:     Biblio    ABAA   Link/Print   D'ANNUNZIO, Gabriel.- Obras Completas.

Benzing mentions a copy of the 1529 edition and a "sp�tere, erweiterte Neu-ausgabe", z.B. 1597 bei Chr. Egenolffs Erben. The edition of 1531 is a reprint of the one of 1529, with the same woodcut on the title, and with the addition of a woodcut tailpiece.

The isolario, or book of islands, was a popular genre that had first appeared in manuscript examples by Cristoforo Buondelmonte dating from the early fifteenth century, then in printed versions by Bartolommeo dalli Sonetti from the late 1400s. More so than its predecessors, the isolario first published in 1528 by Venice-based cartographer Benedetto Bordone was formative for Renaissance geographical conceptions. Bordone's early sixteenth-century treatment of the island-atlas theme greatly expanded upon the earlier works, augmenting the conventional focus on the eastern Mediterranean to encompass maps of other parts of Europe and the world, stretching as far as the Indian Ocean, the African coastline and the New World. Bordone's maps of islands in the West Indies, although schematic in their outlines (perhaps reflecting the author's training as a miniaturist as opposed to a cartographer), were among the first nautical charts of these regions to become widely available, and his map of "La gran citta di Temistican" (pictured above)--modern-day Mexico City--brought the former Aztec capital before the eyes of curious European viewers and recorded for posterity its form prior to the destruction wrought by Cortez. Equally important is the map of the eastern coast of North America, which includes labels for "Terra de lavoratore, " thought to represent a section of the modern-day Atlantic coast of Canada, and "p[ar]te del mondo novo"--"part of the New World"--w       [Bookseller: Alibris]  36.   Check availability:     Alibris   Link/Print   ZUNIGA Don Juan de, Grand d´Espagne.

"Fernel (1497-1558), before making a name for himself in medicine, was first attracted by the mathematical sciences, as evidenced by his first three publications -- of which this is the third, and all three of which were issued by Simon de Colines: De Proportionibus was preceded by Monalosphaerium, 1527, and Cosmotheoria, 1528. Fernel received his M.D. degree in 1530 and became a very influential physician through his numerous writings; he became physician to Catherine de Medicis, whose barrenness he cured, and eventually was appointed chief physician to King Henri II."!Schreiber 35.

Its name indicates what is supposed to be its unifying element: accounts of happenings in ancient Rome. Each story has a title suggesting a virtue or vice and an appendix pointing to a moral. The first collection, in Latin, was probably the work of an English Franciscan about 1330. Continuously expanded, it exerted a strong influence upon later writers such as Chaucer and Gower and enjoyed a considerable vogue well into the 16th century...Some stories, e.g. AtalantaOs Race, derive from Greek myth; others, e.g. Androcles and the Lion, from late classical times. Several come fromAleandrian romance, Appolonius of Tyre being a notable example.

Wurmspur, alte Restaurierungen, im Ganzen leichte Gbrsp. - Ficino (1433 - 1499), studierte 1449 bis 1451 Philosophie und Medizin an der Universit�t Pisa/Florenz. Sein besonderes Interesse galt der platonischen Tradition, die er in einem Lehrbuch "Institutiones in Platonicam disciplinam" (1456) darzustellen versuchte, worauf ihm die Leser rieten zun�chst einmal Griechisch zu lernen. Dies setzte er vorallem mit den griechischen Erwerbungen der Medicis aus Konstantinopel um: hierbei in einer Reihe grundlegender Texte der Neuplatoniker. Die Bezeichnung "Platonische Akademie" f�r Ficinos Freundeskreis ist eine Erfindung des 17. Jahrhunderts, w�hrend der Begriff "Akademiker" von Ficino selbst verwendet wurde zur Bezeichnung seiner zahlreichen Sch�ler von diesen teilten nur relativ wenige seine Begeisterung f�r Platon und seine Antipathie gegen den zeitgen�ssischen Aristotelismus. 1473 entschloss sich Ficino Priester zu werden. Hierbei widmete er sich in den n�chsten Jahrzehnten weiteren �bersetzungen, Kommentaren neuplatonsicher Philosophen, aber auch theologischer und medizinischer Schriften, die von seinen Ansichten gepr�gt waren.

FIRST LATIN EDITIONS IN THE VERY INFLUENTIAL TRANSLATION OF CAMERARIUS OF ALL BOOKS OF VIER B�CHER VON MENSCHLICHER PROPORTION (Nuremberg, 1528), which 'should, of course, accompany each other, but [because of their different dates of publication] are often found apart and separately bound' (Fairfax Murray). Joachim Camerarius (the elder), a devoted classical scholar, translated both texts, after D�rer's friend Willibald Pirckheimer had abandoned his attempt. Camerarius' translation ensured the popularity of D�rer's theoretical work throughout Europe. 'Without Camerarius' translation D�rer's writings would not have achieved widespread influence in Europe ... His theory of proportions was not only a part of artistic discourse, but - now in the language of the learned - could become part of European scientific literature. Without Camerarius' work Michelangelo would never have seen the Proportionslehre' (translated from the D�rer catalogue, 1971).'As early as his Wanderjahre D�rer had come to appreciate the works of Mantegna and other Italian artists. He wished to learn more of the artistic and philosophical rediscoveries of the Italian Renaissance ... Moreover he had become convinced that the new art must be based upon science - in particular, upon mathematics, as the most exact, logical, and graphically constructive of the sciences. It was this realisation that led him to the scientific work for which he was, in his lifetime, as celebrated as for his art. He decided to travel to Italy and in 1494 left his wife in Nuremberg and set off on foot to visit Venice.'On his return to Nuremberg in 1495, D�rer began a serious study of mathematics and of the theory of art as derived from works handed down from antiquity, especially Euclid's Elements and the De architectura of Vitruvius ... Most importantly, however, this period marked the beginning of D�rer's experiments with scientific perspective and mathematical proportion ... In 1505-1507 D�rer returned to Venice. He extended his Italian travels to Bologna on this occasion, "on account" he wrote, "of secret [knowledge of] perspective." He most probably made the journey to meet Luca Pacioli, the mathematician and art theorist. This period of D�rer's life marks the full maturity of his mathematical, philosophical, and aesthetic theory' (Max Steck in DSB).Bohatta, Bibliographie der kunsttheoretischen Werke Albrecht D�rers, no. 20 (the 1528 edition of De symmetria has been proved to be a ghost since 1971) and 21; D�rer exhibition catalogue, Nuremberg, 1971, no. 495; Fairfax Murray 152 and 153; Meder, p. 288 XXIX; Dodgson I 265; VD 16 D 2860 and 2861.

Anteriormente se hab�a impreso una edici�n latina del �Almagestum� (1515) traducida del �rabe por Gerard de Cremona. Esta nueva traducci�n al lat�n tomada directamente del griego fue realizada por Jorge de Trebizon (1396-1472), un acad�mico cretense que lleg� a Italia a principios del siglo quince; la tuvo terminada en 1451 y se la ofreci� al Papa Nicholas V, quien la hab�a comisionado. La presente edici�n del �Almagestum� es el m�s importante de los textos matem�ticos y astron�micos de Ptolomeo; cubre cada aspecto de la teor�a matem�tica astron�mica y sirvi� de base a todos los trabajos de astronom�a hasta la publicaci�n de los textos de Tycho Brahe y Kepler.El �Almagesto� es una enciclopedia del conocimiento astron�mico que establece la astronom�a como una disciplina de las matem�ticas.

Estudi� e hizo observaciones astron�micas en Alejandr�a entre los a�os 127 y 141. Su primera obra, y la m�s importante, es la presente �Compilaci�n Matem�tica� o �Almagesto�. El sistema astron�mico geoc�ntrico ptolomaico ser�a aceptado por los astr�nomos como el �nico posible durante m�s de 15 siglos, hasta la aparici�n del sistema helioc�ntrico copernicano.

The translation was made in 1451 by the Byzantine scholar George of Trebizon (1396-1472). It was edited by the Renaissance mathematician Luca Gaurico (1476-1558), and dedicated to Pope Nicholas V (1447-55), who had commissioned the work. The present edition of Ptolemy�s Almagest was the most important of his astronomical and mathematical works; it covers every aspect of theoretical mathematical astronomy, and was the entire basis of all astronomy up to the publication of works by Tycho Brahe and Kepler. The Almagest is an encyclopaedia of astronomical knowledge which established astronomy as a mathematical discipline. It contains an elaborate theory of the planets, the discovery of the second inequality of the moon�s motion, the determination of the distance of the moon, an exposition of spherical and plane trigonometry and an account of the construction and use of astronomical instruments.

A combined edition of the Ecatomfila and the Deifira, Alberti�s two dialogues on love. They originally appeared separately in 1471, probably the first works of literature by a living author printed in Italian. They treat the vagaries of love from different perspectives. In the Ecatomfila, a woman, expert in matters of love, counsels her youthful listeners on how to secure and keep love. The ideal lover is prudent, modest, and virtuous; above all, he is a man of letters. In the Deifira Filarco counsels Pallimacro, hopelessly in love with Deifira, on the dangers of love and on how the humanist may experience the intensity of love as a young man without abandoning his literary and artistic pursuits.The emblem of the vase of flames � the symbol of love, carnal and spiritual � occurs on both Italian and French renaissance bindings.

Edges of title restored, gutter of initial and final leaves reinforced, single wormtrack through first 9 leaves, occasionally touching printed surface; light handsoiling throughout, but maps in strong impressions, overall good. Rare first edition. The isolario, or !book of islands,' was a cartographic form introduced and developed in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries. Like the portolano, or pilot-book, to which it was related, it had its origin in the Mediterranean, as an illustrated guide for travelers in the Aegean Archipelago and the Levant. Bordone's Isolario was the second isolario to be printed and the first to give prominence to the transatlantic discoveries. Skelton quotes Almagia as saying that it is, in fact, "the earliest complete work of its kind to have been produced by the printing-press in Italy or anywhere else."The Isolario is divided into three books, devoted respectively to the !islands and peninsulas' of the western ocean, to the Mediterranean, and to islands of the Indian Ocean and the Far East. While this order corresponds very roughly to that of Ptolemy, it gives conspicuous priority to the discoveries across the Atlantic. Besides a page of diagrams illustrating the construction of a circular world map and windroses of !ancient' and !modern type,' there are three general maps: Europe, the Aegean, and an oval world map. Scattered through the text, in the appropriate places, are 107 small maps, plans or views including a nearly three-quarter page plan of Mexico City before the conquest of Cortez-which qualifies because it is an island.According to Cortazzi, in his Isles of Gold Antique Maps of Japan: "In 1528 the Italian cartographer Benedetto Bordone (1460-1531) produced an atlas of islands printed in Italy by Nicolo d'Aristotle. In it he included a small map of an island which he called !Ciampagu,' presumably another version of Cipangu. This would seem to be the earliest European printed individual map of Japan" (p. 15).Bordone was a Paduan illuminator and wood-engraver who was apparently established at Venice by 1494. * Theatrum Orbis Terrarum facsimile edition edited by R.A.

Wurmspur, alte Restaurierungen, im Ganzen leichte Gbrsp. - Ficino (1433 - 1499), studierte 1449 bis 1451 Philosophie und Medizin an der Universit�t Pisa/Florenz. Sein besonderes Interesse galt der platonischen Tradition, die er in einem Lehrbuch "Institutiones in Platonicam disciplinam" (1456) darzustellen versuchte, worauf ihm die Leser rieten zun�chst einmal Griechisch zu lernen. Dies setzte er vorallem mit den griechischen Erwerbungen der Medicis aus Konstantinopel um: hierbei in einer Reihe grundlegender Texte der Neuplatoniker. Die Bezeichnung "Platonische Akademie" f�r Ficinos Freundeskreis ist eine Erfindung des 17. Jahrhunderts, w�hrend der Begriff "Akademiker" von Ficino selbst verwendet wurde zur Bezeichnung seiner zahlreichen Sch�ler; von diesen teilten nur relativ wenige seine Begeisterung f�r Platon und seine Antipathie gegen den zeitgen�ssischen Aristotelismus. 1473 entschloss sich Ficino Priester zu werden. Hierbei widmete er sich in den n�chsten Jahrzehnten weiteren �bersetzungen, Kommentaren neuplatonsicher Philosophen, aber auch theologischer und medizinischer Schriften, die von seinen Ansichten gepr�gt waren.
