Una nueva �poca en la historia natural naci� con la publicaci�n del Herbarium vivae eicones; si bien este trabajo es comunmente conocido como el herbario de Brunfels, no menos importante es el ilustrador, Hans Weiditz, quien es el primero en representar las plantas tal como son, tom�ndolas de su h�bitat. Sus ilustraciones, que han sido en numerosas ocasiones atribuidas a Durero, rompen con todas las tradiciones de los herbarios antiguos que copian una y otra vez los mismos grabados inventados.

Brunfels was the first great mind in modern botany, and as Sachs says, a new epoch of natural science began with Brunfels, Bock and Fuchs. They brock awy from the tradition of the old herbals wich had never represent any original thinking."Arber, Herbals, p. 52: "A new era in the history of the herbal may be said to date from the year 1530, when the first part of the Herbarium vivae eicones was published by Schott of Strasburg. This work is commonly called Brunfels' herbal, but it would be juster to associate it with the name of the artist, Hans Weiditz, who was responsible for the illustrations."Procedencia: 1 Ernest Hartland, donado a ... 2.

HOGENBERG, Nicolaus (c.1500-39). Gratae et laboribus aequae posteritati. Caesareas sanctique patris longo ordine turmas aspice.
[?Antwerp: 1532.] - 8 friezes, each consisting of four folios joined, float mounted in pairs and framed (frieze size 15 x 60 inches). EXCEPTIONALLY FINE engraved frieze totaling more than 40 feet in length. Provenance: Early manuscript colophon; with the large engraved armorial bookplate of Antoine de la Mare, Sieur de Chesnevarin, councilor to the King Henry IV (ennobled 1590); late 18th-century engraved armorial bookplate with count's crown and manuscript motto 'semper juncti', and ownership inscription "Picquot fils"; early 20th-century bookplate with cipher 'LR'. 'this is undeniably one of the most interesting and splendid works representing public processions in the 16th century' (Vinet). THE VERY RARE FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED FETE ENGRAVINGS EVER PRODUCED, this issue with the space above the plates showing engraved arms of the noble processors, and captions in French within frames. Recording the triumphal and majestic procession of Charles V (1500-1558), Clement VII, and all the Princes and Dukes of the Spanish empire, after Charles's coronation as Holy Roman Emperor at Bologna in 1530. Charles V was the last Emperor to receive a papal coronation, and since he and Clement VII had often been on opposing sides of the complicated political divides of early 16th-century Europe, it was an event of tremendous historical significance. As early as 1524, the year after Clement became Pope, Francis I of France's conquest of Milan prompted him to change his allegiance from Imperial Spain and to ally himself with other Italian princes (including the Republic of Venice) and France in the January of 1525. This alliance acquired Parma and Piacenza for the Papal States, the rule of Medici over Florence and the free passage of the French troops to Naples. However at the Battle of Pavia in February of 1525 Francis was captured by his bitter enemy Charles V and held captive in Madrid. So Clement re-affirmed his loyalty to Charles, signing an alliance with the viceroy of Naples. Once Francis was freed after the Treaty of Madrid in 1526 Clement changed sides again, and entered into the League of Cognac together with France, Venice, Florence, and Francesco Sforza of Milan. Then he issued an invective against Charles, who in reply defined him a "wolf" instead of a "shepherd", menacing the summoning of a council about the Lutheran question. Meanwhile troops loyal to Charles, led by Cardinal Pompeo Colonna pillaged the Vatican City and sacked Rome in 1527; Clement was held prisoner in Castel Sant'Angelo. The Pope was forced to change sides for one last time. On June 6, Clement VII surrendered, and agreed to pay a ransom of 400,000 ducati in exchange of his life. He conceded Parma, Piacenza, Civitavecchia and Modena to the Holy Roman Empire. In June of 1528 the warring parties signed the Peace of Barcelona. The Papal States regained some cities and Charles V agreed to restore the Medici to power in Florence. And, at last, in1530 Pope Clement VII crowned Charles V as Holy Roman Emperor: the pinnacle of Habsburg power, when all the family's far flung holdings were united under one ruler. After Charles's reign, his realms were split between his descendants, who received the Spanish possessions and the Netherlands, and those of his younger brother, who received Austria, Bohemia and Hungary. This copy of "Gratae et laboribus aequae posteritati " was formerly in the possession of the eminent de la Mare family of Normandy. Antoine de la Mare was ennobled by Henry IV in March 1590. Formerly a protestant King of Navarre, and then first Bourbon King of France, Henry IV very publically attended mass in order to secure the throne. During Henry IV's reign a number of prominent families who had supported his coronation and fought on behalf of the Protestant cause were ennobled under the edict of Nantes (or Toleration). During the reign of Louis XIV, however, many of these families had their patents examined in the 1660s; the implication being that their loyalt [Bookseller: W. Graham Arader III gallery]

D�RER, Albrecht (1471-1528). De symmetria partium in rectis formis humanorum corporum, Libri in latinum conversi [per Joachim Camerarium].
Gr.-4to (324 X 204 mm). Mit zusammen 85, teilweise ganzseitigen Holzschnitten im Text und grossem Monogramm AD in Schwarz auf dem Titel. [80] Bl. (das letzte leer). Zweispaltiger Druck. Moderner Kalbslederband, mit R�ckentitel in Goldpr�gung. (N�rnberg, Impersis viduae Durerianae per Hieronumum Formschneyder [i.e. Andreae aut Enderlin], 1532). Erste lateinische Ausgabe von D�rers wichtigstem kunsttheoretischen Werk, das erste illustrierte Traktat zur Proportionslehre. "Dreissig Jahre hatte D�rer sich mit der Proportion des menschlichen K�rpers besch�ftigt, die Drucklegung des Werkes, das den Ruhm des Theoretikers D�rer begr�ndete, erlebte er nicht mehr. Der Plan geht zur�ck auf die Anf�nge des Malerbuchs um 1507/08, eine erste Reinschrift war 1523 weitgehend fertiggestellt, die endg�ltige Fassung wurde 1527/28 an den Setzer geliefert, nachdem Pirckheimer sie durchgesehen hatte." (D�rer-Katalog, 1971, S. 253). Die ersten beiden B�cher - Buch drei und vier erschienen zwei Jahre sp�ter separat unter dem Titel De varietate figurarum et flexuris partium - behandeln D�rers eigene Proportionslehre und diejenige des Leon Battista Alberti. Bei D�rer geht es um die Konstruktion des menschlichen K�rpers mit Hilfe des 'Teilers', d. h. eines Richtscheits, mit dem die L�nge und Breite der einzelnen Glieder in ihrem Verh�ltnis zur gesamten K�rpergr�sse in aliquoten (ohne Rest teilenden) Br�chen gemessen wird. Die Anregung zu seiner Messform scheint er aus Pomponio Gauricos De sculptura von 1504 gesch�pft zu haben. Das zweite Buch enth�lt das Albertische System der Hexempeda, ein auf Vitruv gr�ndender Ma�stab von sechs Fuss. D�rer fasst schliesslich Messergebnisse in Tabellen zusammen, wobei er die praktikabilit�t seiner Methode betont, da sie "durch sehen k�nntlich seyn". Die sch�nen Holzschnitte mit weiblichen bzw. m�nnlichen Figuren sowie Kindern stammen aus der deutschen Erstausgabe von 1528. Die Bedeutung der lateinischen �bersetzung durch Camerarius unterstreicht H. Dornik-Eger mit folgenden Worten: "ohne die Arbeit des Camerarius h�tte Michelangelo die Proportionslehre nicht zu Gesicht bekommen." Randeinrisse im Kopfsteg der Bl. L3-6 und kleiner Eckausriss in M1 restauriert. Ein sauberes und breitrandiges Exemplar.� Bohatta 20 Ba; Choulant-Frank 143f.; Cicognara, 321; Fairfax Murray 152; VD16, D-2860; Dodgson I, 265; Dornik-Eger, Albrecht D�rer und die Druckgraphik f�r Kaiser Maximilian (1971), Nr. 22; Roehrl, History and Bibliography of Artistic Anatomy (2000), S. 377 und 58f. A clean and wide margined copy of the first Latin edition of the first two books of the first illustrated manual on proportions to appear in print. In was only by this translation of Duerer's 'On Human Proportions' into Latin, the lingua franca of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, by the author's friend Joachim Camerarius, that his theory of proportions became known and influential all over Europe: "without Camerarius' work Michelangelo never would have seen Duerer's Proportionslehre' (Hanna Dornik-Eger). For Albrecht D�rer who attempted to find evidence of advanced Italian measuring methods on his journeys to Venice and through his contact with the painter Jacopo de Barbari, the study of human proportions and the study of perspective were correlative fields of inquiry and concerned him more than any other subjects throughout his life. Preparing a theory of proportion since 1512 the planned publication in 1525 could finally materialised only posthumously in 1528 by his wife Agnes, to whom the emperor Charles V had confirmed the title for the book shortly after her husband's death. It was printed by Hieronymus Formschneider (in effect: Andreae or Enderlin), who produced woodcut for Duerer since 1515. The translator Joachim Camerarius (1500-1574) worked since 1526 as senior professor of Greek and Latin in the newly found Gymnasium in Nuremberg. The rich variety of 85 outline woodcuts of male and female figutes are depicted as constitutional types and were printed from the original woodblocks used previously in the 1528 German edition. Each are presented with a heigth of seven, eight, nine, and ten facelenghts, seen from the front, the side and the back. This was completed with a child's proportions and pictures showing the measurements of the foot and the hand. D�rer tried to combine all his available knowledge which he had gained because he wanted to establish an ideal canon. D�rer's intriguing designs had definitely a major impact on Renaissance art. - Short tear in upper margin of leaves L12-L6 and upper corner of M1 torn off restaured, a clean copy with wide margins. - Modern dark brown polished calf, gilt lettering on spine.

MACHIAVELLI, Niccol� Historie Fiorentine Di Niccolo Machiavelli Cittadino, et secretario Fiorentino. Al santiss. et beatiss. Padre S.N. Clementi Settimo pontefice mass.
Florence Bernardo di Giunta 1532 - The Bernardo di Giunta Edition MACHIAVELLI, Niccol�. Historie Fiorentine. Di Niccolo Machiavelli Cittadino, et secretario Fiorentino. Al santiss. et beatiss. Padre S.N. Clementi Settimo pontefice mass. Florence: Bernardo di Giunta, 16 March 1532. First edition(?) The Blado edition was published just two days before the present Giunta edition, however they used different manuscripts. Although the Blado edition is dated 25 March, 1532, some copies have the Giunta edition with a colophon date of 27 March, 1532, while other copies such as our present copy has a colophon dated 16 March, 1532, possibly giving priority to this edition. Octavo (8 3/16 x 5 3/8 inches; 208 x 136 mm). [2, blank], [1]-224, [2, blank] leaves. Leaves partly numbered 9-224 with some numbers printed in error. Lacking the rare four errata leaves found in only a few copies. Only one other copy has come up at auction since 1940 according to ABPC, which was the Chatsworth copy. Our present copy collates the same as that copy, except the Chatsworth copy has the date on the preface of 16, March 1531. Contemporary brown calf, rebacked to style. Boards decoratively ruled in blind. Spine ornamentally stamped in blind. Old printed text visible from underneath front and rear pastedowns. Some wear to corners and edges of boards. Tail of spine a bit weak. A tiny bit of worming to inner margin of signatures E-M, not affecting text. Two previous owner's old sepia ink signatures to title-page. Two small holes to title-page, not affecting text. Some spotting and dampstains to front and rear blanks. Some light tidemarks to margins throughout. Overall a very good copy of this rarity. "One of Machiavelli?s most important political studies. It has long been known that the Giunta edition of the Historie followed one printed at Rome by Blado by a few days: the Blado edition is dated 25 March 1532, while Giunta?s important preface to what he probably supposed was going to be the First Edition, is dated 27 March 1532 in most copies, and the colophon either 27 or 16 March. In some copies, and possibly after it was learned that Blado?s printing had stolen a march on the official Giunta edition, changes were made in both the colophon and the prefatory letter, as well as some page numerals and probably quire-signatures." (Laurence Witten Rare Books). In 1531, the printer Blado in Rome recieved previliages from Pope Clement VII to print the text of some of Machiavelli's manuscripts. "Meanwhile, back in Florence, Giunta, unaware of Blado's project, had decided, with the approval of the author's heirs, to honor Machiavelli in the city of his birth by producing printed editions of his as yet unpublished major works (the Giuntas having been the first to print the Arte della guerra in 1521). With his own printing nearly finished, the news of the Rome edition came as a shock to Giunta. Arguing that he and not Blado had been given the authorization of the authors' heirs, he immediately applied for and duly received the Pope's permission not only to publish his own edition, overriding Blado's privilege, but also (in a papal brief dated 20 December 1531) to continue the project of printing Florentine editions of the remaining works. Hence the rush of both printers to issue the first edition of each of the remaining works. Blado won in both cases, coming out well ahead with Il principe, but publishing his edition of the Historie fiorentine only two days before Giunta's." (Christie's). HBS 65016.

Folio (285 x 185mm). pp. (viii), 266, (66, including final blank); pp. 313, 5, (2, blank), title of first volume in woodcut border, full page woodcut coat of arms of Strassburg, 4 woodcut ornamental borders, and 138 woodcuts of plants, mostly full page. Recent full blind tooled morocco, spine in 8 compartments with gilt lettering. Both volumes in the second edition. The first edition of the first volume is exceedingly rare. "A genuine milestone in the history of the botanical sciences.. " (Tomasi & Willis. An Oak Spring Herbaria p. 31). A celebrated herbal which marks an epoch in the history of botanic illustration. It was the first herbal illustrated with drawings which are throughout both beautiful and true to nature. The plants are represented as they are in the greatest possible artistic perfection by Weiditz one of the best German illustrators, whose name appears in the book. "Weiditz accepted Nature as he found her. Was a leaf torn or drooping, a flower withered?- he observed the fact with the cold eye of the realist and recorded it with the precision of a true craftsman. The beauty was never wantonly sacrificed to mere scientific accuracy; the poet in him always triumphed, the artist in him always prevailed. His work must ever remain the high-water mark of woodcutting employed in the service of botanical illustration" (Blunt p. 47). Posthumously a third volume was published in 1536 by Michael Herr, which is seldon found with the first two volumes, and which was illustrated by an other artist.

"To the Hymns of Callimachus are subjoined the Gnomologia, which is a singular production form a certain ancient MS. specified in Harles, Fabr. B.G. t. i. 725. The Scholia and Preface of Gelenius adorn this correct edition, which is far preferable to the Aldine, and which supplies some lacunae." (Dibdin, Intro. Classics, I, p. 366). The eminent Greek poet, Callimachus (b. ca. 300 B.C.), had been the head of the great library at Alexandria where he compiled a catalogue of its holdings of which only a few fragments survived.Edited by the eminent Greek scholar and Bohemian humanist. Sigmund Gelen (Zikmund Hruby z Jeleni: 1497-1554) of Prague. Hruby z Jeleni, "better known as Gelenius, was born into a family of Bohemian nobles. He translated Erasmus's Moria into Czech as well as works by Petrarch and Cicero. Gelenius at one time studied Greek under Marcus Musurus and visited Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and France before returning to Prague, where he lectured privately on Greek authors and entered into correspondence with Melanchthon. ... Probably in 1524 he moved to Basel, where he lived in Erasmus' household. He spent the remainder of his life working for the Froben press as a scholar, editor, corrector, and translator from the Greek, even declining a position as professor of Greek at Nuremberg for which he was recommended by Melanchthon in 1525 and 1526. ... in his day there cannot have been many major productions of the Froben press which did not benefit from his selfless scholarly devotion. ... There is also evidence that he collaborated on a number of editions by Erasmus ... [also] Erasmus held Gelenius in high regard as is attested to by himself and others" (Contemporaries of Erasmus, II, pp. 84-85).A very handsome, large paper copy, of this fine example of Basel Greek printing 245, [3] pp. Woodcut printer's device on title and at end; large woodcut initials and headpiece. Introduction in Latin with text in Greek. Contemporary ownership inscription, in Greek, on title as well as a later inscription dated "1640." � VD16, C270; Ebert 339; Brunet I, 1479; Graesse II, 17 [Bookseller: Jeffrey D. Mancevice, Inc.]

(etwas berieben) mit 2 R�ckenschildern, R�ckenblindpr�gung, Deckel-, Steh- und Innenkantenvergoldung.
Venedig, Benedetto di Bendoni, 1532. - �u�erst selten wie alle fr�hen Ausgaben dieser Sammlung humoristischer, teils obsz�ner und oft klerusfeindlicher Geschichten von Poggio Bracciolini, der dieser humanistischen Literaturgattung den Namen gab. Der bedeutende Humanist und Historiker (1380-1459) verfasste die "Facetiae" wie alle seine Werke in lateinischer Sprache. Schon sehr fr�h wurden Ausgaben gedruckt, ab etwa 1480 auch anonyme italienische �bersetzungen. Die "Fazetie", eine humoristische, oft erotische, pointierte Kurzgeschichte, mit denen die p�pstlichen Sekret�re sich in ihren Mu�estunden zu unterhalten pflegten, wurde von Poggio als Literaturgattung eingef�hrt und noch lange nachgeahmt. Auf dem Titel der offenbar von verschiedenen Druckern immer wieder verwendete Holzschnitt mit dem Motto "Dio te la mandi bona". – Etwas fleckig. Einige Blatt mit kleinen Papierfehlern bzw. Wurmspur im wei�en Rand. – In italienischen Bibliotheken (ICCU 7401) nur 2 (inkomplette!) Exemplare. Vgl. Gamba, Novelle 73 und Passano 351 (jeweils andere Ausgaben in gleicher Ausstattung, teils auch bei Bindoni). Nicht bei Adams. * Very rare early edition of this collection of partly humerous and partly obscene stories, many of them aimed against the clergy. Title with large woodcut, some woodcut initials. – Occasional spotting, a few pages with small paper flaws or worm holes in the margins. 19th-century polished tan calf (slightly rubbed), blind-tooled spine decoration, two labels, covers gilt, gilt inner dentelles.

HOLBEIN, Hans and Sebastian Munster Typus Cosmographicus Universalis
Basle 1532 - HOLBEIN, Hans and Sebastian Munster. "Typus Cosmographicus Universalis." Basle, 1532. Approximate paper size 15 1/2 x 22 3/4 inches; framed size 26 3/8 x 34 inches. Woodcut map (black and white). This early modern map was the result of a unique collaboration between a celebrated cartographer and a world-renowned artist. Sebastian Munster was a German cartographer who enlisted Hans Holbein--one of the foremost artists of the Northern Renaissance--to add ornamentation to this stunning map of the world. Holbein's striking decorative additions include elaborate, flawlessly rendered animals and foliage, while vivid vignettes surround the oval outline of the map. Within the borders of the map, enormous sea monsters, mermaids, and sailing ships embellish the oceans. The imagination and superb draftsmanship visible in Holbein's decoration are arguably unequaled in 16th-century maps. Yet the map's significance is not confined to its ornate beauty. Munster was the first cartographer to incorporate into his maps the revolutionary theories of Copernicus, the Polish astronomer who theorized that the earth orbited the sun (and not vice versa), and also rotated once daily on its axis. Copernicus was a contemporary of Munster and Holbein, and his ideas were considered highly radical and, by many, almost blasphemous. Until Copernicus, the 2nd-century theories of Ptolemy were held as law. As the first to embrace the ideas of Copernicus and to put them into practice, Munster and Holbein ushered in a new era in mapmaking. Illustrating one of the most successful marriages of art and science in cartography, this world map is exceedingly rare and represents an excellent opportunity for collectors.

Hoyois (eds.) XLV+641 p., 5 b/w ill.+2 colour ill., 156 x 234 mm, 2009, Hardback ISBN 978-2-503-51101-6, EUR 85.00 Disponible/Available French Text: L'idee d'une publication systematique de la volumineuse correspondance (essentiellement conservee au Haus-, Hof-, und Staatsarchiv a Vienne) echangee entre Charles Quint et ses frere et soeur, Ferdinand Ier et Marie de Hongrie, ne date pas d'hier, et est a mettre a l'actif d'historiens viennois. Mais, ceux-ci plus interesses par les territoires habsbourgeois d'Europe centrale que par les anciens Pays-Bas, centrerent leurs efforts sur la personne de Ferdinand, en ne prenant en compte, de ce fait, que deux pans de cette relation triangulaire: d'une part, la correspondance entre Ferdinand et Charles, et d'autre part, celle entre Ferdinand et Marie. Le chantier qui avait ete amorce au debut du 20e siecle, pour la periode 1514-1530, sommeilla ensuite longuement. Il ne reprit que beaucoup plus tard (1973) en envisageant successivement les annees 1531-1532 et 1533-1534. Cette edition de la correspondance entre Marie et Charles pour 1532, point de depart d'une intensification de leurs contacts epistolaires (pres de 300 textes), et les annees anterieures (une trentaine), ainsi que des lettres de Nicolas Perrenot de Granvelle a Marie (la correspondance de Marie a Granvelle est perdue), permettra enfin de completer le tableau pour la periode mentionnee, et d'accroitre par consequent l'interet qu'il y a a poursuivre la publication de ces documents emanant de princes qui etaient fort lies, tant intimement que politiquement. Laetitia Gorter-van Royen, nee a Delft (Pays-Bas) en 1945, a etudie l'histoire a l'universite de Vienne. Elle a pu, d'une part, s'initier a l'histoire de l'Europe centrale, et d'autre part tenter de mieux comprendre le mythe des Habsbourg. La combinaison de son origine neerlandaise et de sa maitrise de la langue francaise a incite le professeur Lutz, grand specialiste de Charles-Quint, a lui proposer d'ecrire sa these sur Marie de Hongrie, la soeur trop meconnue de Charles-Quint, dont la correspondance en francais repose en grande partie dans les archives viennoises. Cette these, qui fut ralentie suite au deces du professeur Lutz et menee a terme sous la direction des professeurs Blockmans et de Schepper, fut finalement defendue a l'Universite de Leyde. Jean-Paul Hoyois, ne a Mons (Belgique) en 1967, est licencie en histoire de l'Universite catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve) et agrege de l'enseignement secondaire superieur (1991). Ses travaux portent principalement sur l'histoire des institutions aux Temps modernes. De 1992 a 1995, il a ete assistant de recherches successivement aupres des professeurs Sosson et Bruneel (Louvain-la-Neuve). Avec ce dernier, il a publie Les grands commis du gouvernement des Pays-Bas autrichiens.

The plates are by Anton Wierix after Maerten de Vos and are recut or just issued by Claes Jansz Visscher.Maarten de Vos was born in Antwerp in 1532 and died there in 1603. His father Pieter de Vos was also a painter and he studied first with him and then with Frans Floris, one of the first to bring Mannerism to Antwerp. In 1551 de Vos left Floris and went to Rome, where he studied the works of Michelangelo and then to Venice where he became first the pupil then the friend and collaborator of Tintoretto. He was highly successful in Italy, executing commissions for the Medici among others. In 1558 he returned to Antwerp where he worked as a painter executing portraits and large commissions for churches. He executed some engravings, but he was far more prolific as a source of drawings that were then engraved and published by others Wierix was one of three brothers and was a designer and engraver born in Antwerp or Amsterdam in 1555.

(N�rnberg, Johann Petreius), 1532. (6), XCVII Bll., l. w. Bl. Mit Wappenholzschnitt am Titel. Pappband des 19. Jhs. mit floralem Moir�e-Tapetenpapierbezug. Reste eines hs. R�ckenschildchens. Folio (212:300 mm). Sehr seltene Beschreibung des gro�en abendl�ndischen Schismas von 1378-1413. Der Theologe und Geschichtsschreiber Dietrich aus Niemheim bei Paderborn erlebte diese Epoche der Kirchengeschichte als beteiligter Zeitgenosse: "An demselben Tage, an welchem [...] Johann XXIII. in Bologna die Kr�nung erhielt, am 24. Mai 1410, schlo� er ein neues literarisches Werk ab, seine drei B�cher 'De schismate', deren Niederschrift er Ende 1409 begonnen hatte. Sie sind die bedeutendste Schrift Niem's, auf welche sich sein Ruhm als Schriftsteller haupts�chlich begr�ndet. Man kann sie als Memoiren bezeichenen und sie zeigen die Licht- und Schattenseiten dieser Gattung der Geschichtsschreibung. Mit feuriger Lebendigkeit schildert Nieheim die Ereignisse seit dem Jahre 1376, wie er sie selbst erlebt und in seinem Ged�chtnisse bewahrt hatte, in schnellem Flusse der Darstellung, ohne die Einzelheiten noch einmal �ngstlich zu pr�fen. Er ist ganz Parteimann und schreibt als solcher, aber er enth�llt uns seine Zeit in ihrem vollen und warmen Pulsschlag" (ADB XXIII, 672). - Leicht gebr�unt. Der Einband mit altem t�rkisfarbenen Tapetenpapier mit aufgedruckten Rosen bezogen; etwas berieben; Ecken und Kanten besto�en. Alte hs. Bibliothekssignatur am vorderen Innendeckel. VD 16, T 740.

Una nueva �poca en la historia natural naci� con la publicaci�n del Herbarium vivae eicones; si bien este trabajo es comunmente conocido como el herbario de Brunfels, no menos importante es el ilustrador, Hans Weiditz, quien es el primero en representar las plantas tal como son, tom�ndolas de su h�bitat. Sus ilustraciones, que han sido en numerosas ocasiones atribuidas a Durero, rompen con todas las tradiciones de los herbarios antiguos que copian una y otra vez los mismos grabados inventados. Este libro goza fama adem�s de ser un alarde tipogr�fico alem�n: la tipograf�a, la disposici�n del texto, los m�rgenes, las vi�etas y encuadramiento del texto; todo es perfecto.La primera parte apareci� en 1530 y al quedar incompleta se hizo rapidamente una reimpresi�n junto a la segunda parte que completaba la obra entre los a�os 1531 y 1532. En 1536 aparece un tercer volumen con unas breves adiciones y una recopilaci�n de los dos vol�menes anteriores.Hunt: "This is an important book. Brunfels was the first great mind in modern botany, and as Sachs says, a new epoch of natural science began with Brunfels, Bock and Fuchs. They brock awy from the tradition of the old herbals wich had never represent any original thinking."Arber, Herbals, p. 52: "A new era in the history of the herbal may be said to date from the year 1530, when the first part of the Herbarium vivae eicones was published by Schott of Strasburg. This work is commonly called Brunfels? herbal, but it would be juster to associate it with the name of the artist, Hans Weiditz, who was responsible for the illustrations."Procedencia: 1 Ernest Hartland, donado a. 2.

Stephanie Buck, Jochen Sander, Thames, Hudson Hans Holbein the Younger: Painter at the Court of Henry VIII
UK: THAMES AND HUDSON LTD. 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. Hans Holbein's psychological insight, magisterial compositions, and cool palette ensure his status as one of the greatest European painters. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Mauritshuis in The Hague, the book concentrates on the period beginning in 1532, when Holbein settled in England. From 1536 Holbein was court painter to King Henry VIII and immortalized not only the king himself but also several of Henry's prospective spouses, actual wives, and children. Holbein also drew and painted other prominent figures, including German merchants in London, ambassadors, and members of the English court. After almost 400 years, these portraits have lost none of their profoundly expressive power: Holbein was among the first artists to portray people as flesh and blood, as strong and decisive personalities who continue to intrigue and move us. In her introductory essay, Stephanie Buck discusses Holbein's activities as a portraitist. She explores the pivotal role Erasmus played in Holbein's early career, and the later English period during which he portrayed the royals and their circle. Jochen Sander's essay sheds new light on the creation of the Darmstadt Madonna. The book is completed by a Who's Who that explains figures and essential ideas and movements necessary for a complete understanding of Holbein's milieu. ISBN10: 0500093180. [Bookseller: Alibris]

Woodcut printer's device on title & repeated on verso of final leaf. Printed throughout in Greek.12 p.l., 532, 507 (i.e. 207) pp., [28] leaves. Folio, 17th-cent. English sheep (a few scars, title a bit stained & soiled, final five leaves with a small & unimportant burn hole in margin), spine gilt, upper cover stamped in gilt "B.C.R." Basel: J. Herwagen, Sept. 1532. First edition of Erasmus' important edition of Demosthenes (384-322 B.C.), the great Attic orator and statesman, whose fame as an orator can be compared only with the fame of Homer as a poet. This copy bears the signature on the title of John Lumley, first Baron Lumley (ca. 1533-1609), "one of the great Elizabethan collector-patrons. His collections, which included books, paintings, and marbles, were catalogued during his lifetime and transcriptions of the manuscripts published during the twentieth century. The significance of these inventories cannot be underestimated � they provide a unique illustration of his particular interests and intellectual pursuits as well as a more general picture of aristocratic taste in Elizabethan England�Lumley's library was one of the largest in Elizabethan England. It was housed at Nonsuch and contained nearly 3000 books�The books are inscribed with the original purchaser's name."-ODNB. The majority of Lumley's books passed from Lumley to Henry, Prince of Wales, and then to the Royal Library and now survive in the British Library. This copy remained in private hands and bears the bookplate of J.P.R. Lyell (1871-1948), the book collector and founder of the Lyell Lectures at Oxford. This edition, while based on the 1504 editio princeps of Aldus, is the first to contain the commentaries of Erasmus, Bud�, and others. It contains all the speeches and Ulpian's Scholia.

CALLIMACHUS [Greek text: Kallimachou Kyrenaiou Hymnoi, meta ton scholion. Gnomai ek diaphoron trieton philosophon syllegeisai] Callimachi Cyrenaei Hymni, cum scholijs nunc primum !ditis. Sententiae ex diuersis poetis oratoribusq[ue] ac philosophis collect&
Basel: (Hieronymus Froben & Nicolaus Episcopius). 1532. 18the century Spanish mottled sheep with gilt spine (rubbed; very minor damage to base of spine) 4to . FIRST EDITION of this important new recension of the original Greek text which Brunet notes includes much that has been added and improved over any previous editions including the Aldine of 1513. "To the Hymns of Callimachus are subjoined the Gnomologia, which is a singular production form a certain ancient MS. specified in Harles, Fabr. B.G. t. i. 725. The Scholia and Preface of Gelenius adorn this correct edition, which is far preferable to the Aldine, and which supplies some lacunae." (Dibdin, Intro. Classics, I, p. 366). The eminent Greek poet, Callimachus (b. ca. 300 B.C.), had been the head of the great library at Alexandria where he compiled a catalogue of its holdings of which only a few fragments survived.Edited by the eminent Greek scholar and Bohemian humanist. Sigmund Gelen (Zikmund Hruby z Jeleni: 1497-1554) of Prague. Hruby z Jeleni, "better known as Gelenius, was born into a family of Bohemian nobles. He translated Erasmus's Moria into Czech as well as works by Petrarch and Cicero. Gelenius at one time studied Greek under Marcus Musurus and visited Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and France before returning to Prague, where he lectured privately on Greek authors and entered into correspondence with Melanchthon. ... Probably in 1524 he moved to Basel, where he lived in Erasmus' household. He spent the remainder of his life working for the Froben press as a scholar, editor, corrector, and translator from the Greek, even declining a position as professor of Greek at Nuremberg for which he was recommended by Melanchthon in 1525 and 1526. ... in his day there cannot have been many major productions of the Froben press which did not benefit from his selfless scholarly devotion. ... There is also evidence that he collaborated on a number of editions by Erasmus ... [also] Erasmus held Gelenius in high regard as is attested to by himself and others" (Contemporaries of Erasmus, II, pp. 84-85).A very handsome, large paper copy, of this fine example of Basel Greek printing 245, [3] pp. Woodcut printer's device on title and at end; large woodcut initials and headpiece. Introduction in Latin with text in Greek. Contemporary ownership inscription, in Greek, on title as well as a later inscription dated "1640." � VD16, C270; Ebert 339; Brunet I, 1479; Graesse II, 17 [Bookseller: Jeffrey D. Mancevice, Inc.]

Woodcut printer’s device on title & repeated on verso of final leaf. Printed throughout in Greek. 12 p.l., 532, 507 (i.e. 207) pp., [28] leaves. Folio, 17th-cent. English sheep (a few scars, title a bit stained & soiled, final five leaves with a small & unimportant burn hole in margin), spine gilt, upper cover stamped in gilt “B.C.R.” Basel: J. Herwagen, Sept. 1532. First edition of Erasmus’ important edition of Demosthenes (384-322 B.C.), the great Attic orator and statesman, whose fame as an orator can be compared only with the fame of Homer as a poet. This copy bears the signature on the title of John Lumley, first Baron Lumley (ca. 1533-1609), “one of the great Elizabethan collector-patrons. His collections, which included books, paintings, and marbles, were catalogued during his lifetime and transcriptions of the manuscripts published during the twentieth century. The significance of these inventories cannot be underestimated — they provide a unique illustration of his particular interests and intellectual pursuits as well as a more general picture of aristocratic taste in Elizabethan England…Lumley’s library was one of the largest in Elizabethan England. It was housed at Nonsuch and contained nearly 3000 books…The books are inscribed with the original purchaser’s name.”–ODNB. The majority of Lumley’s books passed from Lumley to Henry, Prince of Wales, and then to the Royal Library and now survive in the British Library. This copy remained in private hands and bears the bookplate of J.P.R. Lyell (1871-1948), the book collector and founder of the Lyell Lectures at Oxford. This edition, while based on the 1504 editio princeps of Aldus, is the first to contain the commentaries of Erasmus, Bud�, and others. It contains all the speeches and Ulpian’s Scholia. Erasmus contributed a preface as well. Dibdin wrote of it: “there are many preferable readings to be found. It is a beautiful and excellent work, according to Fabricius, containing the commentaries of Ulpian in the margin of each page; and at the end, the various readings collected by Danesius; also the commentaries of Budaeus, Erasmus, and other learned men, on certain passages of Demosthenes.” Fine and fresh copy. ❧ Brunet, II, 587–“Cette belle �dition…elle est rare.” British Museum, John Lumley (1956), number 1709–“Lumley copy now privately owned.” .

Gorter-van Royen, J.-P. Hoyois (�ds.) XLV+641 p., 5 b/w ill.+2 colour ill., 156 x 234 mm, 2009, Hardback ISBN 978-2-503-51101-6, EUR 85.00 Disponible/Available French Text: L'id�e d'une publication syst�matique de la volumineuse correspondance (essentiellement conserv�e au Haus-, Hof-, und Staatsarchiv � Vienne) �chang�e entre Charles Quint et ses fr�re et soeur, Ferdinand Ier et Marie de Hongrie, ne date pas d'hier, et est � mettre � l'actif d'historiens viennois. Mais, ceux-ci plus int�ress�s par les territoires habsbourgeois d'Europe centrale que par les anciens Pays-Bas, centr�rent leurs efforts sur la personne de Ferdinand, en ne prenant en compte, de ce fait, que deux pans de cette relation triangulaire: d'une part, la correspondance entre Ferdinand et Charles, et d'autre part, celle entre Ferdinand et Marie. Le chantier qui avait �t� amorc� au d�but du 20e si�cle, pour la p�riode 1514-1530, sommeilla ensuite longuement. Il ne reprit que beaucoup plus tard (1973) en envisageant successivement les ann�es 1531-1532 et 1533-1534. Cette �dition de la correspondance entre Marie et Charles pour 1532, point de d�part d'une intensification de leurs contacts �pistolaires (pr�s de 300 textes), et les ann�es ant�rieures (une trentaine), ainsi que des lettres de Nicolas Perrenot de Granvelle � Marie (la correspondance de Marie � Granvelle est perdue), permettra enfin de compl�ter le tableau pour la p�riode mentionn�e, et d'accro�tre par cons�quent l'int�r�t qu'il y a � poursuivre la publication de ces documents �manant de princes qui �taient fort li�s, tant intimement que politiquement. Laetitia Gorter-van Royen, n�e � Delft (Pays-Bas) en 1945, a �tudi� l’histoire � l’universit� de Vienne. Elle a pu, d’une part, s’initier � l’histoire de l’Europe centrale, et d’autre part tenter de mieux comprendre le mythe des Habsbourg. La combinaison de son origine n�erlandaise et de sa ma�trise de la langue fran�aise a incit� le professeur Lutz, grand sp�cialiste de Charles-Quint, � lui proposer d’�crire sa th�se sur Marie de Hongrie, la sœur trop m�connue de Charles-Quint, dont la correspondance en fran�ais repose en grande partie dans les archives viennoises. Cette th�se, qui fut ralentie suite au d�c�s du professeur Lutz et men�e � terme sous la direction des professeurs Blockmans et de Schepper, fut finalement d�fendue � l’Universit� de Leyde. Jean-Paul Hoyois, n� � Mons (Belgique) en 1967, est licenci� en histoire de l’Universit� catholique de Louvain (Louvain-la-Neuve) et agr�g� de l’enseignement secondaire sup�rieur (1991). Ses travaux portent principalement sur l’histoire des institutions aux Temps modernes. De 1992 � 1995, il a �t� assistant de recherches successivement aupr�s des professeurs Sosson et Bruneel (Louvain-la-Neuve). Avec ce dernier, il a publi� Les grands commis du gouvernement des Pays-Bas autrichiens.

Augsburg: H. Steiner. 22. April 1532. Modern vellum covered boards 8vo . German translation of the collection of secrets (Secreta secretorum), largely dealing with health, that has been attributed to Aristotle. This is the third appearance of this translation; Steiner published all three with the first appearing in 1530. The work deals, in seventy-one chapters, with diet, health, diseases, medicines, etc. In addition it has political advice for rulers, on life in general and making intelligent decisions in life; such as how to recognize the best wines, advice on drunkenness and recipes for hangovers, etc. The title woodcut depicts the translator dedicating the book to the king. The full-page woodcut is of Alexander the Great standing in the royal military dress of a renaissance warrior. Ferguson in his Bibliographical notes on Histories of Inventions and Books of Secrets (third suppl. pp. 6-7, no. 5) describes Steiner's 1531 edition, noting the works rarity and also that although a few supplementary texts have been left out that appeared in the Latin Secreta Secretorum of 1520, the present work "has not however been disemboweled like the English translation of 1702" [4], 48 leaves. With title woodcut and 1 full-page woodcut. Running heading on a few leaves is slightly cropped. Small tear repaired (covering up a few letters but no loss). !

With richly engraved allegorical frontispiece and 78 engraved emblems after Adriaan van der Venne in text in the first work, and 2 fine engraved frontispieces by J. Goeree and 28 newly engraved illustrations after Adriaan van der Venne in text in the second work. (16), 320; (16), 235, (5) pp. Two of the very popular works by Jacob Cats (1577-1660), as usual beautifully illustrated by Adriaan vande Venne (1589-1662). The first work contains a collection of old and new proverbs, enriched by emblematic poems and prints, and the second work presents an old man's contemplations on sleepless nights, together with the author's autobiography in verse. Cats' impact on Dutch cultural, that is Dutch Calvinist, life, of the 17th and 18th century cannot be easily exaggerated. In this he was greatly supported by the imaginative art of Vande Venne, who depicted Dutch daily life as soundly and vividly as Cats described it. Good copies.- (Binding sl. soiled; endpapers loose).

Atahualpa told Pizarro: 'Ten days' journey from Caxamalca (Cajamarca, where Pizarro was holding Atahualpa), on the road to Cuzco, there is in a village, a temple (Pachacoma), which all the inhabitants of that land look upon as their common temple. In it they all offer up gold and silver. This temple contains great riches, for, though there is a temple in each village where they have their special idols which they worship, in this temple there is a general idol common to all, and there is a famous sage in charge of that mosque, whom the Indians believe to have a knowledge of future events, because he speaks to that idol'.- nr. 5: 'Don Francisco Pizarro prende al Inga Atahualpa ij deshaze su exercito cerca de Caxamalca' = Cajamarca; Atahualpa (1500?-1533, cf. his portrait, nr. 4, ), also called Atabalipa, was the last ruler of the Inca Empire in Peru.

Woodcut printer's device on title-page and last leaf, LARGE WOODCUT FOLDING MAP (a bit spotted, one or two small holes at creases), woodcut illustrations in the text (early gatherings lightly browned, a few mostly marginal pale stains and one or two spots). Contemporary blindstamped pigskin over wooden bevelled boards, each panel decorated in panels with broad fillets of alternating roll tools of portraits of "Venus" and "Lucretia" with the date 1532, and a heads in medallion roll, filled in with tudor rose and thistle tools, spine in five compartments with four raised bands, with early paper library labels in two, brass clasps and catches (extremities scuffed with some minor loss); quarter morocco slipcase and chemise. Provenance: The near contemporary ownership inscriptions of Johannes Craesselius on the title-page, whose name appears in a copy of Rithaymer's "De orbis terrarum situ com-pendium" 1532, now at the University of Graz; manuscript library catalogue designation of the Society of Jesus, Graz dated August 1633 on the title-page; and a later inscription placing the book in their Mathematical library dated 1674 also on the title-page; Frank Sherwin Streeter (1918-2006) (Collection of Important Navigation, Pacific Voyages, Cartography and Science). First edition, with the celebrated world map "Typus cosmographicus universalis", the issue with "Asia" printed in large letters, but "Tropicus Capricorni" printed above the tropical line. Shirley attributes the cartography of this map to M�nster and the border decoration to Holbein, who was working with several Basel publishers at the time. It is of particular interest especially for its "richness of artistic decoration" (Shirley). The work contains accounts of the voyages of Cadamosto, the three voyages of Columbus, Nino, Pinzon, Vespucius, Cabral, and part of the Fourth Decade of Peter Martyr, "also many other pieces which do not relate to America" (Sabin).

A nice wide-margined copy in contemporary blind-stamped calf over wooden bds., 1 brass catch, lacking clasps (covers scuffed, rear cover with a few small round wormholes, spine ends & corners worn, paper label on upper spine, tear in Tt4-6 ! no loss). Sixth Edition of the Latin Translation by Marsilio Ficino, the first to contain the careful revisions of distinguished Protestant theologian Simon Grynaeus [1493-1541]. Grynaeus, a friend of Melanchthon and Erasmus, and professor of Greek at Heidelberg (1523) and Basel (1536), was also the editor of the second Greek edition of Plato, published at Basel in 1534. Ficino!s translation, begun in 1466 and first published in 1484-85, made his name famous in the history of scholarship and has been called "the best translation of that author Italy can boast." (Encyc. Britan., 11th Edn.) The manuscripts on which he worked were supplied by his patron Cosimo de! Medici and by Americo Benci. While the translation was in progress, Ficino periodically submitted its pages for discussion and revision to Angelo Poliziano, Christoforo Landino, Demetrios Chalchondylas, and other fellow scholars who were members of the Platonic Academy. "Marsilio Ficino (1433-1499) was the most influential representative of Renaissance Platonism. Together with Alberti, Pico della Mirandola, Cosimo de! Medici, Politian, and Landino, he founded the Platonic Academy in Florence. Although several works of Plato had been available in Latin translations prior to the fifteenth century, Ficino made the first complete translation of the Platonic corpus into a Western language (1484). This publication marks a major point in the intellectual history of Europe. The work was of such high quality that it remained in general use until the eighteenth century.

Brogiollo added his own 1634 colophon, printed in the space left below the end of the main text on fol. 2M4 of the 1609 edition.In very good condition, with only an occasional minor spot. The hinges have been repaired and the head and foot of the backstrip lost, but the binding is otherwise good.

DURER, Albrecht Institutionum Geometricarum
Paris: Christian Wechel, 1532. First Latin edition of Durer!s first book on the theory of art, the Unterweisung der Messung, bound with the first Latin edition of his treatise on fortification, !strictly speaking the first treatise dealing exclusively with this subject! (Krufft), with important material on urban planning and utopianism.1) Illustrated by Durer himself, the Institutionum Geometricarum outlines the artist!s theory of !the work of art as a natural object!, which became an accepted aesthetic dogma until the 19th century. Far more than the German original of 1525, this translation by the humanist Camerarius brought the treatise to the attention of the whole of Europe. As a theoretical statement by !the last major painter to be counted a significant geometer! (Kemp), the work is naturally of interest for applications in Durer!s own oeuvre as well as for the history of perspective. After his encounter with Luca Pacioli in Italy, Durer became convinced of how close the links are between art and mathematics and devoted himself to the study of form through the resources offered by arithmetic and geometry. The result was the present work. In this work Durer teaches the principles of perspective and explains the application of practical geometry to drawing and painting. It became a very influential text as its audience broadened from artists to architects, sculptors, and different craftsmen and was translated and reprinted several times.Panofsky describes the treatise!s importance as three-fold: for the technical innovation in the construction of a perspective apparatus in which the eye of the observer is dispensed with entirely; for being the first literary document !in which a strictly representational problem received a strictly scientific treatment at the hands of a Northerner!; and for emphasizing that !perspective is not a technical discipline destined to remain subsidiary to painting or architecture, but an important branch of mathematics, capable of being developed into what is now known as general projective geometry! (Panofsky, p. 252).Book Three contains Durer!s famous treatise on the just shaping of Roman capital letters and gothic or !Textur! letters built up by means of small geometrical forms, a method original with Durer. (This text was translated into English by R.T. Nichol for publication by the Grolier Club, Of the Just Shaping of Letters, New York, 1917.)2) Inspired by the artist!s witnessing the siege of Hohenasperg in 1519 and by fear of the advancing Turkish armies, Krufft writes, De Urbibus !employs a dual approach. On the one hand Durer develops various alternatives for the construction of bastions to defend existing cities; this is the contemporary aspect. At the heart of the treatise, he outlines a utopian city, in which the nature of fortification merely serves as a spur to the depiction of a social structure organized on the ground... Related trades are placed side by side; smiths are to be housed near foundries, etc. The town hall and the houses of the nobility are sited near the royal palace. The whole system of organization is hierarchical and functional. Durer thinks of every function of the city, right down to the taverns! (Krufft, History of Architectural Theory, p. 110 ). Elsewhere Krufft suggests that Serlio employed the present treatise in book VI.According to Mortimer, the woodblocks are close copies of the 1527 German original.* 1)Mortimer, French I.182; Vagnetti E II.b7; Panofsky, The Life and Art of Albrecht Durer, Chapter 8, !Durer as a theorist of Art!, esp. 247-60; Kemp, The Science of Art, 53ff.; 2) Mortimer, French I.184; Fowler 113 (1527 German); Krufft, History of Architectural Theory, 110-111..
