The Ruralia Commoda consists of twelve parts covering the following subjects; Agriculture in general; the nature of plants and the fertility of soil; the products of the fields, their use and culture; the grape- vine; trees; gardens and plants (describing about one hundred and twenty plants useful for medicine and nourishment); meadows and woods; pleasure gardens; and the four last parts deal with cattle breeding and husbandry" (Hunt, p. 5). "Piero Crescentio was born at Bologna, in 1230. He was seventy years of age when he undertook to write, in Latin, a sort of Gentleman's Recreation or Maison Rustique, in twelve books, crammed with information of all kinds likely to be of use to the gentleman farmer, chiefly about agriculture, horticulture and viticulture, hunting and fishing, and generally speaking, how to enjoy the 'fruits of the earth'" (Simon, Bibiotheca Gastronomica p. 42).

K�ln, Fuchs 1536. 44 x 31 cm. 295 Blatt (r�misch numeriert) mit Musiknoten, Holzschnitt-Titeleinfassung, 6 gro�en und zahlreichen kleinen Initialen. Schweinslederband der Zeit �ber Holzdeckeln, mit Rollenstempeln, Messingbeschl�gen und 2 Messingschlie�en - Musik in M�nster 15 - B�mer / Degering J 1052 - Aengenvoort S. 17 uff. - Der erste Gradualdruck Nordwestdeutschlands im 16. Jahrhundert, das der K�lner Buchdrucker Hero Fuchs, Alopecius genannt, druckte. Das in seiner Offizin erschienene Graduale von 1536 ist, neben dem Antiphonale und dem Psalterium, "das fr�heste und imponierendste Beispiel eines Choraldrucks im norddeutschen Raum" (Musik in M�nster). Das M�nstersche Domkapitel veranla�te nach dem Brand der Dombibliothek und der Wiedert�uferzeit den Druck. Da der einzige damalige M�nstersche Drucker Dietrich Tzwyel 1534 aus M�nster ins lutherische Lager geflohen war, wurde das Werk nach ausw�rts in Auftrag gegeben (Aengenvoort S. 24). Es ist eines der wichtigsten liturgischen B�cher, die von der Domkirche wohl bis 1880 gebraucht wurden und im gesamten nordwestdeutschen Raum einzigartig. Das Graduale ist in gotischer Neumenschrift auf F�nfliniensystem gedruckt. Am Anfang jedes Systems stehen zugleich der C- und der F-Schl�ssel verzeichnet. Inhalt: Blatt 2-134: Proprium de tempore; Blatt 135-164: Commune sanctorum; Blatt 165-185: Proprium sanctorum; Blatt 185-198: Missae votivae (mit Anhang: Alleluja und Sequentiae Helenae reginae); Blatt 198-215: Ordinarium Missae (mit Anhang: Missa de Sancta Anna); Blatt 215-295: Sequentarium (mit Anhang: 2 Antiphonen). Der Text endet mit "... consortes celestis glorie." Das Buch endet wie alle bekannten Vergleichsexemplare mit Blatt 295 = dd1 [Kollation: A - O 6; P 1 - 6 (bezeichnet als P, P2, P3, P4, P, P2); Q - Z 6; a6; b6 (bezeichnet als b, b2, b3, b4, ohne, b); c - z6; aa - cc6; dd1 = Blatt 295]. Auf das hintere Vorsatzblatt ist ein Blatt mit einer handschriftliche Erg�nzung (Noten und Text) aus dem 18. Jahrhundert aufgezogen, Textbeginn: "Peccatis nostris indigrionem ..." Weitere handschriftliche Erg�nzungen aus dem 19. Jahrhundert sind eingef�gt vor Blatt 193 ("Dies irae ...") und vor Blatt 209 ("Alleluja" und "Hecdies"). Die Holzschnitt-Titeleinfassung (6 Heiligendarstellungen, 2 seitliche Leisten, Fu�leiste) zeigt oben in der Mitte Christus als Welterl�ser, unten den Apostel Petrus, in den Ecken die Evangelisten. Die Holzschnitte werden Anton Woensam von Worms zugeschrieben, der seit 1517 f�r verschiedene K�lner Buchdrucker t�tig war (Thieme-Becker 36, 166). Die gro�en Initialen (7 x 5 cm) mit Darstellungen zu den betreffenden Festen. Die Initiale "A" des Introitus "Ad te levavi" mit Darstellung des Psalmisten David (vgl. Merlo, K�ln. K�nstler 1073, 515); Initiale "T" (Blatt 185vo.) mit Darstellung des Doms zu M�nster. Auf dem Titel ist in 6 Zeilen eine Ermahnung f�r den Benutzer gedruckt: "Hunc qui aperis, et voluis librum, Mundas habeto manus ..." Die Blatt-Numerierung steht am Rand in der Mitte der Seite.

BRASAVOLA, Antonio; Examen omnium simplicium medicamentorum, quorum in officinis usus est.

Cet ouvrage est l'une des pharmacop�es les plus importantes de la Renaissance. Antonio Brasavola fut le m�decin et l'ami d'Hercule II, prince d'Este, � qui l'ouvrage est d�di�. Il soigna aussi quatre Papes, ainsi que Charles Quint, Henri VIII et Fran�ois 1er. "Brasavola tenait de la munificence du prince d'Este une maison de campagne situ�e non loin de Ferrare; c'est l� qu'il se livrait � la culture des plantes �trang�res et de celles qui croissaient dans sa terre natale, en m�me temps qu'il �tudiait les auteurs anciens qui ont trait� de leurs propri�t�s. Il r�introduisit dans la pratique m�dicale plusieurs substances tomb�es dans l'oubli, notamment l'ell�bore noir." (Encyclop�die des sciences m�dicales, I, p.197). "The new spirit animating botanists, contrasting sharply with that of the Middle Ages, was clearly expressed by Antonio Musa Brasavola, a physician of Ferrara, in his Examen Omnium Simplicium. "Not a hundredth part", he says, "of the herbs existing in the whole world was described by Dioscorides, not a hundredth part by Theophrastus or by Pliny, but we add more every day and the art of medicine advances". This opinion is revealing of the botanical thought of the time - still dominated by the needs of medicine but already moving to the problem of including all plants in a general scheme of recognition and nomenclature, that is, towards systematic descriptive botany" (Morton, History of botanical science).

An exceptionally rare, very early Protestant reformation work, by one of the Key Protestant Reformers. Martin Bucer (or Butzer) was born in 1491 in Schlettstadt, Alsace. In 1506 he entered the Dominican order, and went to study at Heidelberg. He became familiar with the works of Erasmus and Luther and was present at a disputation of the latter with some of the Romanist doctors. He converted to the reformed opinions, abandoned his order by papal dispensation in 1521 and married a nun. In 1522 he was pastor at Landstuhl, and travelled propagating the reformed doctrine. After his excommunication in 1523 he settled in Strasbourg, where he succeeded Matthew Zell. Henry VIII asked his advice in connection with his divorce from Catherine of Aragon. On the question of the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, Bucer's opinions were decidedly Zwinglian, but he was anxious to maintain church unity with the Lutherans and constantly endeavoured to formulate a statement of belief that would unite Lutheran, south German and Swiss reformers. Hence the charge of ambiguity and obscurity which has been laid against him. In 1548 he was sent to Augsburg to sign the agreement called the Interim between the Catholics and Protestants. His stout opposition to this exposed him to many difficulties, and he gladly accepted Cranmer's invitation to live in England. On his arrival in 1549 he was appointed regius professor of divinity at Cambridge. Edward VI and the protector Somerset showed him much favour and he was consulted as to the revision of the Book of Common Prayer.

Frankfurt, Christian Egenolff, 1536 Folio (307 x 204 mm), pp [xxiv] CCCXIX [5], with fine woodcut vignette and border on title, woodcut vignette on verso of title, woodcut vignette of a distilling on b6 verso, and 250 woodcuts in text; clean tear across A1 repaired without loss, a few marginal tears not affecting text, Bb3-5 misbound after Cc2, a few minor marginal stains, a single small wormhole throughout, small patch of worming on last five leaves affecting a few letters, generally a very attractive and large copy, in period-style blind-panelled pigskin over wooden boards, with clasps. �7500 Second edition of this title (first 1533), and extremely rare, with 11 more woodcuts than the earlier edition. This work was one of a series of popular vernacular herbals and manuals of domestic medicine, and also an egregious instance of multiple plagiarism by the enterprising publisher Christian Egenolff. This herbal appeared in a number of guises, under the authorship of R�sslin (also known as Rhodion; he was the city physician of Frankfurt), Lonitzer, and Egenolff. The text derives from a number of sources, including the Hortus sanitatis editions and various works of Brunschwig. The illustrious derive from Brunschwig (for the distillation apparatus), the Brunfels herbal with the Weiditz woodcuts (whose publisher sued Egenolff for copying the cuts), et al. There are also many woodcuts original to the Egenolff editions. Many of the cuts were made by Hans Sebald Beham, one of the best wood engravers of the time. See Nissen, who has made an attempt at unravelling Egenolff�s sources. The title woodcut is described in detail by Hunt: �Herb garden with man working on potted plants and vines at right background; sick-room scene with man in bed, two women nursing him, doctor holding flask, inset in design at left background; 5 men conferring in right foreground, one of them instructing a gardener and pointing up to a sickroom scene; tiered distilling apparatus at left foreground, man pounding herbs with pestle, and woman sorting herbs; man standing in round basin at center background�. There are several woodcuts of stills and distilling scenes, and numerous woodcuts of minerals, apothecaries� apparatus and materia medica, animals, and plants. This is a rare edition; Hunt noting that the only other copy of this edition they could locate was the British Library copy.

Yuval Noah Harari Special Operations in the Age of Chivalry, 1100-1550
Boydell Press. New 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. Alongside the familiar pitched battles, regular sieges, and large-scale manoeuvres, medieval and early modern wars also involved assassination, abduction, treason and sabotage. These undercover operations were aimed chiefly against key individuals, mostly royalty or the leaders of the opposing army, and against key fortified places, including bridges, mills and dams. However, because of their clandestine nature, these deeds of derring-do' have not been studied in any detail, a major gap which this book fills. It surveys a wide variety of special operations, from the eleventh to the sixteenth century. It then analyzes in greater depth six select and exciting operations: the betrayal of Antioch in 1098; the attempt to rescue King Baldwin II from the dungeon of Khartpert in 1123; the assassination of Conrad of Montferrat in 1192; the attempt to storm Calais in 1350; the dirty war' waged by the rulers of France and Burgundy in the 1460s and 1470s; and the demolition of the flour mill of Auriol in 1536.

Johannes Murmellius (Roermond 1480 - Deventer 1517) had been a pupil of the famous Alexander Hegius in Deventer before he went to the University of Cologne in 1496 where he became doctor in 1504. In the meantime he was appointed conrector (later rector) at M!nster before he left for Alkmaar to be the rector of the Latin school in 1513. In four years time he brought the school to such a prosperity that the number of pupils was grown to ca. 900 in 1517. In 1517, however, Alkmaar was looted by the troops of Charles of Guelders and Murmellius took refuge in Deventer where he was appointed rector in the same year; but he died before he could set to work. As a Neo-Latin poet and humanist of the first generation Murmellius has been very influential in the Low Countries and Germany. His many textbooks for the Latin Schools on the Latin language and literature earned an unprecedented popularity until far into the 18th century. Moreau/Renouard V,254. Not in Adams or BM Cat.

DROZ - 9782600012973 Livre usage a l'etat de neuf / Used book as new condition Texte �tabli et annot� par Sandra CORAM-MEKKEY et Christophe CHAZALON. Avec la collaboration de Catherine SANTSCHI Dans la droite lign�e des ann�es 1536-1538, le Registre du Conseil de Gen�ve de 1539 aborde tous les domaines de la vie quotidienne : �conomique, religieux, judiciaire, politique et institutionnel. Cependant, en cette ann�e 1539, il y a trois difficult�s majeures auxquelles les autorit�s doivent faire face, qui mettent � mal la supr�matie et l’ind�pendance de Gen�ve : l’affaire de Marin de Montchenu qui a demand� � quelques membres �minents de la ville de se placer sous la tutelle du roi de France, l’annexion du mandement de Thiez par Fran�ois Ier � la requ�te des anciens chanoines de Gen�ve r�sidant alors � Annecy et la tentative par Berne d’imposer un nouveau trait� � Gen�ve, au grand d�savantage de celle-ci, qui refuse de le sceller. Son rejet entra�ne une nouvelle crise partisane au sein de la cit�, entre les Articulants soutenant les n�gociateurs du trait�, d’une part, et les adeptes de Calvin, de l’autre. Les difficult�s cr�es par ce trait� entre les deux villes ne trouvera une issue qu’en 1544, avec le second D�part de B�le. La tension vive, renforc�e par d’incessants mouvements de troupes alentours et des relations de plus en plus crisp�es avec les baillis bernois, pousse les autorit�s genevoises � entreprendre une s�rie d’emprunts b�lois toujours plus importants pour fortifier la ville.

POMPONIUS MELA / CAIUS JULIUS SOLINUS De situ orbis / Polyhistor - 1536
Un classique par le premier geographe romain connu, Mela, suivi du texte de Solin. En latin. Lutetiae, 1536. 2 textes. Format : 10 sur 15 cm. 25 feuillets, 407 pages (pagination continue pour les 2 textes), 1 feuillet blanc. Demi reliure a coin (veau), papier dominote probablement dix-septieme siecle. Tranches mouchetees rouges. Mouillure pale en debut d'ouvrage sur une vingtaine de pages et fin d'ouvrage, une trentaine de pages. Les contre-plats sont marques aux coins par le cuir. Notes manuscrites anciennes a l'encre. Ex-libris manuscrit sur la page de titre. Bon exemplaire. Pomponius Mela est le premier des geographes romains, ayant precede Pline de plusieurs annees. Apparente aux Seneque, originaire de Tingentera (en Espagne), Pomponius Mela a ecrit sous les regnes de Caligula et de Claude. Il est l'auteur d'une geographie en trois livres. Cette oeuvre est composee comme la relation d'un voyage qui debuterait en Mauritanie (Maroc), passerait par les pays riverains de la Mediterranee (les cotes d'Afrique, d'Asie, d'Europe), pour revenir enfin au point de depart. Les peuples et les pays y sont decrits de facon tres vivante bien que breve. (voir Encyclopedie Universalis) Caius Julius Solinus fut aussi un geographe romain, egalement grammairien. Son Polyhistor a incorpore beaucoup de l'Histoire naturelle de Pline et de la geographie de Pomponius Mela. [Bookseller: Livres-et-autographes.com]

Il contient une suite composee de 29 grandes gravures sur bois, dont plusieurs a pleine page. Cinq des bois sont signes de la croix de Lorraine qui serait la marque des graveurs associes a l'atelier de Geoffroy Tory. Precede d'une epitre dedicatoire a Francois Ier, l'ouvrage renferme quatre essais, les trois premiers de Lazare Baif : I- Une monographie consacree a l'architecture navale et a la navigation des anciens (eDe re navali') illustree de 20 bois de navires sous pagination particuliere (152 p.). II- Un essai sur l'habillement et les vetements des anciens ('De re vestiaria') illustre de 3 grands bois. III- Sur les vases et urnes de l'antiquite ('De vasculis') illustre de 6 bois. IV- Le quatrieme essai 'De coloribus libellus' de l'humaniste italien Antonio Telesio (Antonius Thylesius) est la premiere monographie sur les couleurs. Goethe le reedita dans son 'Farbenlehre'. Pere du poete de la Pleiade, « l'un des humanistes et des diplomates les plus considerables de son temps », Lazare de Baif avait ete eleve du grand Jean Lascaris et de Guillaume Bude. Il fut charge par le roi de missions importantes, notamment de plusieurs ambassades a Venise et en Allemagne. (Brun, eLivres illustres au XVIe', 146-147. Brunet, I, 710-711.

Cum Latina tum grammaticorum, tum varii generis scriptorum interpretatione.
Parisiis: Ex officina Roberti Stephani. 1536. Gran folio. (39 x 260 cm.) [12] p., 1780 p., 1h. Sign.: 4, a�z8, aa�zz8, aaa�zzz8, A�Z8, AA�SS8. Textos a dos columnas. Capitulares grabadas en finos tacos de madera. Encuadernado en plena piel, con nervios y tejuelo rotulado a mano en papel conforme al original. Con las cubiertas de origen en piel vuelta adheridas. Guardas nuevas. La portada sujeta en el margen interior. Dos taladros de polilla que apenas afectan. Sombras de agua espor�dicas, pero no graves. Leves perdidas en las hojas finales, pero con injertos de papel. La obra se divide en 2 partes, la primera hasta la letra K, de la que solo hay una entrada, sigue una hoja blanca y nueva portada con t�tulo y el grabado igual a la portada primera. Continua la numeraci�n de las p�ginas. Completo primera edici�n. Primera edici�n de este cl�sico diccionario de autoridades, aunque existe una edici�n de 1532 pero muy breve y de la que Estienne no estaba orgulloso y que ni siquiera menciona, al denominar "editio secunda" la de 1543, de su Thesaurus. Despu�s de cada entrada incluye una cita de un autor cl�sico -en total 32 autores-. Lleva 2 portadas con un gran �rbol y un personaje que dice "Noli Altum Sapere". El Thesaurus es uno de los grandes logros del renacimiento tard�o al abrir un mundo de conocimientos reservado para una peque�a elite. Estos diccionarios producidos por la saga Estienne - Stephanus constituyen uno de los mayores logros pero no los �nicos de esta familia de impresores de la que Robert I. fue el mas destacado al convertirse en el primer lexic�grafo sistem�tico del antiguo y moderno lenguaje. Estienne consideraba el Calepinus como insuficiente e incompleto y ante la ausencia de estudiosos dispuestos a su reforma, se plantea una obra completamente nueva en la que cada vocablo este respaldado por una autoridad cl�sica. Se basa en Erasmo, Linacre, Alciato, y su gran amigo Guillaume Bud�, entre otros. The greatest monument of Latin scholarship.

Lucianus, Samosatensis [three lines in Greek characters transliterated as] Loukianou Peri Parasitou, etoi hoti techne he parasitike, [then in roman characters] Luciani parasitus, ubi artem ese parasiticam astruit
Parisiis: Ex officina Christiani Wecheli, 1536. Full dark modern calf old style, absolutely plain without labels; spine with raised bands accented with blind rules extending onto covers to terminate in trefoils, and simple blind double fillets to covers. One old numeral inked to title-page; text unmarked with paper clean and even bright, throughout.. Small 8vo. [20] ff. . Whether Lucian is truly the author of this work (The Parasite) is still open to some contention. In it he, or the real author, weighs in on the age-old question of whether philosophy or rhetoric is the higher art form and instead proves both ironically and satirically that parasitism is the highest of all art forms.#11; Text entirely in elegant Greek and with but one woodcut initial.

(BINDINGS). BA�F, LAZARE DE. ANNOTATIONES IN L. II. DE CAPTIVIS, ET POSTLIMINIO REVERSIS. IN QVIBVS TRACTATVR DE RE NAVALI [and three other works].
Paris: Robert Estienne, 1536 215 x 150 mm. (8 1/2 x 6") 4 p.l., [1]-168, [8], [1]-203, [13] pp. (with pagination anomalies). FIRST EDITION OF "De re Navali," First Printing of this Collection. STRIKING 16TH CENTURY CALF, HEAVILY AND BEAUTIFULLY GILT, covers gilt with border formed by two plain rules flanking a floral roll, this frame enclosing a central field of very many tiny star tools, intricate strapwork cornerpieces, and large central ara WITH 32 FINE WOODCUTS in the text, 11 OF THEM FULL-PAGE OR NEARLY SO, the illustrations showing ancient ships, Roman clothing, and urns; woodcut printer's device on title, decorative initials, and four woodcut diagrams. Text in Latin and Greek. Covers with minor discoloration, a little crackling and minor scratching, and gilt a bit dulled and eroded, one corner somewhat bumped, half a dozen leaves with faint dampstains to lower outer corner, a hint of soil in isolated places, but AN EXTREMELY PLEASING COPY, the binding solid, with no serious wear, and still very attractive; the text clean, fresh, and bright; and the margins generous. Schreiber 53; Renouard 44, no. 19; Brunet I, 710-11; STC French, p. 39. This is the first of just five illustrated books published by Robert Estienne, offered here in a handsome and historically important contemporary English binding. Included in the present volume are Ba�f's monograph on ancient ships, the author's treatise on Roman dress, and his work on early vases and receptacles, as well as an early printing of the first published monograph on colors, "De Coloribus" by Antonio Telesio (1482-1534), which was later reprinted in Goethe's "Farbenlehre." A distinguished humanist and diplomat who was well known in his own time for translations of the Greek dramatists, Ba�f (1485-1547) is today best remembered for the works contained in this collection. The woodcuts, which include 20 of early ships, may have been produced by the atelier of Geoffroy Tory, since five of them are signed with the Lorraine cross (Tory was the Royal printer of France, appointed by Fran�ois I, whose title included Duke of Lorraine). Our volume appears here in a lovely 16th century decorative binding that certainly is English and seems in design and execution similar to the work of the artist whom Nixon dubbed the "Dudley Binder," for the work he did for Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Our binding's central panel, with its oval medallion and ornate cornerpieces, is typical of the Dudley Binder's work (see, for example, items #16 and 17 in Nixon's "Five Centuries" and Foot's "Davis Gift," #43). $ 7500 [Bookseller: Phillip J.

One fine full-page woodcut, fine woodcut initials, & a woodcut printer's device on verso of final leaf. 12 p.l., 452, [2] leaves. Folio (first few leaves with unimportant marginal worming in lower margin, final leaf partly dampstained). Mainz: I. Schoffer, 1535. A very fine and handsome sammelband from the library of His Serene Highness Prince Furstenberg at Donaueschingen. I. An extremely rare German translation, issued by the publisher in the same year as the much more common parallel Latin edition. For this and the Latin edition, the woodcuts have been newly drawn and cut. While the section on herbals of former editions has been omitted, this edition serves as an encyclopedia of the zoological and mineralogical kingdoms and the medical applications of their products. The very numerous woodcuts in the part devoted to the mineral world depict jewelers and goldsmiths, mining and metallurgical activities, etc. There is no copy listed in N.U.C., OCLC, or RLIN; we have located one copy at Munich. II. First edition in German of the Annals of Tacitus; this is a very rare edition and OCLC locates only one copy in the U.S. (and that copy lacks the final leaf with the printer's device). This is an important edition, the first to appear in German, translated and edited by Jakob Moltzer (or Micyllus, 1503-58), humanist and professor of Greek at Heidelberg. He was known as one of the most learned scholars of his time. The Annals record the history of the emperors of the Julian line from Tiberius to Nero (A.D. 14 to 68). He has given us a striking and vivid account of the empire in the 1st century. Fine crisp copies. I. Nissen, ZBI, 4730. VD 16, H 5127. II. VD 16, T 20. . [Bookseller: Jonathan A.

Lucianus, Samosatensis [three lines in Greek characters transliterated as] Loukianou Peri Parasitou, etoi hoti techne he parasitike, [then in roman characters] Luciani parasitus, ubi artem ese parasiticam astruit
Parisiis:: Ex officina Christiani Wecheli,, 1536.. Full dark modern calf old style, absolutely plain without labels; spine with raised bands accented with blind rules extending onto covers to terminate in trefoils, and simple blind double fillets to covers. One old numeral inked to title-page; text unmarked with paper clean and even bright, throughout.. Small 8vo. [20] ff. . Whether Lucian is truly the author of this work (The Parasite) is still open to some contention. In it he, or the real author, weighs in on the age-old question of whether philosophy or rhetoric is the higher art form and instead proves both ironically and satirically that parasitism is the highest of all art forms.#11; Text entirely in elegant Greek and with but one woodcut initial. The printer's device of a Pegasus is on the title-page.#11; Rare: We find no copy in WorldCat or COPAC.

Boccaccio, Giovanni Laberinto d'amore. Con una epistola a messer Pino de Rossi confortatoria del medesimo autore e di nuovo corretto
[colophon: Vinegia:: per Pietro di Nicolini da Sabio,, 1536].. Bound as above; spine lightly faded and front cover with two small spots. Some small, light stains in text (only); generally, a very good copy.. Small 8vo (15.5 cm; 6"). 72 ff. . A handsome copy of this well-printed Renaissance edition of Boccaccio's problematic work about a man jilted or scorned, written in the 1360s. As to the complicated nature of the content, its relation to Boccaccio's life, and its date of composition, we refer the reader to Brown University's "Decameron Web," where Dr. Guyda Armstrong writes that in it "Boccaccio demonstrates his familiarity with the canon of classical and medieval antifeminist texts, and succeeds in creating what is practically an encyclopaedia of the genre."#11; The work is now generally better known under the title Il Corbaccio, although all editions use the title found here. As one would expect with a Venetian-printed Renaissance work of literature, the text is in italic type; and this was printed early enough in the 16th century that the title-page offers a charming four-element architectural woodcut border.#11; Binding: Finely bound in 19th-century English straight-grained red morocco, with ornamental gilt border to covers, gilt-extra panelled spine, and two black leather spine labels. Board edges with a gilt roll; complex gilt inner dentelles and marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. [Bookseller: Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts Co]

ARISTOTLE. De republica libri VIII. Interprete & enarratore Io. Genosio Sepulveda Cordubensi. Ad Philippum Hispaniarum principem.
First edition of Juan Gin�s de Sep�lveda�s extensively annotated Latin translation of Aristotle�s Politics. Sep�lveda had been the translator of Aristotle�s works for the papal court, but in 1536 returned to his native Spain to become official chronicler and chaplain to Charles V and, in 1542, tutor to Prince Philip. He is best known for his defence of the Spanish conquest of America in which he invoked Aristotle�s concept of natural slavery as justification for subjugating inferior races. This he famously disputed with Bartolom� de Las Casas before an adjudicative council especially convened by the emperor at Valladolid in 1550�51.�Sep�lveda during his twenty years in Italy had become one of the principal scholars in the recovery of the �true� Aristotle. His contributions to learning were recognized in Spain, and on the eve of the battle with Las Casas he had just completed and published at Paris in 1548 his Latin translation of Aristotle�s Politics, which he considered his principal contribution to knowledge. It was the best translation that had appeared, and was recognized for centuries as an indispensable work. Therefore when Sep�lveda began to write on America he was completely saturated with the theory of �The Philosopher�, including his much-discussed concept that certain men are slaves by nature� (Hanke, Aristotle and the American Indians pp. 31�3).�The willingness of sixteenth-century humanists, even including those in Erasmus�s circle, to countenance war on behalf of the respublica against its enemies, explains what has otherwise puzzled many commentators, that one of the most startling accounts of the legitimacy of war by Christians on non-Christians came from the pen of an absolutely stereotypical humanist, Juan Gin�s de Sep�lveda. Sep�lveda was an almost embarrassingly good example of an early-sixteenth century ultra-Ciceronian humanist, who was employed at the papal court in the mid-1520s as a translator of Aristotle into Ciceronian Latin � the pre-eminently humanist approach to Aristotle, rendering the Greek philosopher a participant in a Roman philosophical discourse. Sep�lveda�s allegiance is neatly illustrated . . . by the fact that his translation and edition of Aristotle�s Politics is entitled De republica � a feature of all truly Ciceronian translations of the Politics in the sixteenth century (for politica was of course a barbarous term, a mongrel piece of Greco-Latinity) . . . . Sep�lveda�s Ciceronian translation of the Politics . . . contained the clearest and most accurate translation of the Aristotelian passages about the acquisition of natural slaves, breaking the medieval tradition of construing the passages in a more humane light, and . . . despite the comprehensive defeat which Sep�lveda�s views suffered in Spain, broadly similar ideas continued to be put forward by humanist jurists outside Spain� (Tuck, Rights of war and peace pp. 43�4; see also p. 68n.).Adams A1916; Palau 16694, 309360; Riley 198.

Equicola, Mario (ca. 1470-1525). Libro di natura d�amore.
Venezia, Pietro Nicolini da Sabbio, maggio 1536. "In-8� (mm 149x100). Segnatura: A-Z8, AA-EE8. 223 carte numerate di 224, manca l�ultima carta bianca. Carattere corsivo. Frontespizio racchiuso entro cornice architettonica ornata incisa su legno; alla c. 78v diagramma silografico raffigurante le proporzioni ideali che le varie parti del corpo devono avere tra di loro. Legatura in cartonato del Settecento. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, alcune gore al frontespizio e alle prime carte, alcune carte uniformemente brunite. Bella edizione, la quarta assoluta � la princeps venne impressa a Venezia da Lorenzo Lorio da Portes nel 1525 � dell�opera principale di questo umanista di origini partenopee, la cui stesura originale, della quale si � conservato il manoscritto autografo dell�autore, � stata creduta per molto tempo essere stata composta in latino e tradotta solo in seguito in italiano dal nipote dell�autore, Francesco Prudenzio, mentre in realt� si tratta di un artificio letterario dell�Equicola, al quale va ascritta dunque la redazione primigenia in volgare. L�Equicola si trasfer� prima a Firenze dove fu allievo di Marsilio Ficino e in seguito fu al servizio della corte dei Gonzaga a Mantova. Il trattato, dedicato a Isabella d�Este, di cui il letterato fu per molti anni precettore e factotum, si inserisce nel quadro del neoplatonismo rinascimentale, e mescola elementi derivati da Marsilio Ficino con echi stilnovistici. �A giudicare dalle numerose riedizioni, che si protrassero fino all�inizio del secolo XVII, sembrerebbe che il Libro abbia goduto di un successo duraturo. Il rapido mutare del gusto e soprattutto la rivoluzione linguistica messa in atto dal Bembo resero tuttavia necessari interventi sull�aspetto formale dell�opera. I tipografi si sentirono liberi, gi� a partire dal 1526 (data della prima ristampa, a un anno di distanza dalla morte di Equicola), di ritoccare, com�era del resto normale, la veste linguistica del testo, che nella prima edizione appariva ancora vicina alla volont� dell�autore, e che suscit�, proprio per la distanza dal canone linguistico gi� dominante, giudizi poco benevoli. [�] Delle due edizioni del 1536 va considerata tale solo quella stampata da Pietro Nicolini da Sabbio. L�altra � invece una nuova emissione dell�ed. del 1531, come prova l�identica impaginazione e soprattutto il colophon, recuperato, come il resto delle carte, dall�edizione precedente� (La redazione manoscritta del Libro de natura de amore, pp. 35-38). Beautiful edition, the fourth, of the most famous work by the humanist scholar Mario Equicola, dedicated by him to Isabella d�Este of whom he had been the tutor for several years. In the book the author studies the metaphysics of love and the nature of poetic courtly love. Equicola�s views on love were credited as an influence by such figures as Agostino Nifo, Giuseppe Betussi and Lope De Vega. Bound in 18th century cartonnage. Title within woodcut decorated border; on leaf 78v a diagram showing the proportions that the different parts of the body should have between them. Very good copy, some dampstains on title-page and first leaves; some foxing throughout. Olschki 4499; La redazione manoscritta del Libro de natura de amore di Mario Equicola, a cura di L. Ricci, Roma 1999." [Bookseller: Philobiblon di Francesca Petrilli e Fili]

B. Vercellensis [for Sessa] Venice 1536 Contemporary limp vellum with leather ties (recased with new end-papers) 8vo . Scarce edition, in Italian, of this important work on agriculture by Crescenzi [who] is considered by authorities to rank with the best writers of his age. Ernst Meyer says ... that in agriculture there is not found anyone of equal merit several centuries before or after his time" (Hunt, p. 5). "Piero Crescentio was born at Bologna, in 1230. He was seventy years of age when he undertook to write, in Latin, a sort of Gentleman's Recreation or Maison Rustique, in twelve books, crammed with information of all kinds likely to be of use to the gentleman farmer, chiefly about agriculture, horticulture and viticulture, hunting and fishing, and generally speaking, how to enjoy the 'fruits of the earth'" (Simon, Bibiotheca Gastronomica p. 42) The work (Latin title: Ruralia Commoda), in twelve books, includes a section on one hundred and twenty plants useful for medicine and nourishment. He devotes book four viticulture and wine. A very nice fresh copy. The fine woodcut title-border depicts floral themes with griffons and a cat and mouse (the symbol for Sessa's printing house). The full-page woodcut depicts the author surrounded by three scribes. 392 leaves (leaf BBB8 blank).

BINDINGS). BA�F LAZARE DE. ANNOTATIONES IN L. II. DE CAPTIVIS ET POSTLIMINIO REVERSIS. IN QVIBVS TRACTATVR DE RE NAVALI [and three other works].
Paris: Robert Estienne, 1536 - 4 p.l. [1]-168 [8] [1]-203 [13] pp. (with pagination anomalies). FIRST EDITION OF "De re Navali," First Printing of this Collection. STRIKING 16TH CENTURY CALF HEAVILY AND BEAUTIFULLY GILT covers gilt with border formed by two plain rules flanking a floral roll this frame enclosing a central field of very many tiny star tools intricate strapwork cornerpieces and large central arabesque composed of strapwork interspersed with lilies and volutes; flat spine divided into latticed gilt panels by double plain rules and floral bands newer (17th or 18th century?) black morocco label the binding almost certainly with some restoration (the joints probably worked on though the repairs executed with such skill as to make difficult identifying exactly what has been done) old stock used for replacement endpapers. WITH 32 FINE WOODCUTS in the text 11 OF THEM FULL-PAGE OR NEARLY SO the illustrations showing ancient ships Roman clothing and urns; woodcut printer's device on title decorative initials and four woodcut diagrams. Text in Latin and Greek. Covers with minor discoloration a little crackling and minor scratching and gilt a bit dulled and eroded one corner somewhat bumped half a dozen leaves with faint dampstains to lower outer corner a hint of soil in isolated places but AN EXTREMELY PLEASING COPY the binding solid with no serious wear and still very attractive; the text clean fresh and bright; and the margins generous. Schreiber 53; Renouard 44, no. 19; Brunet I, 710-11; STC French, p. 39. This is the first of just five illustrated books published by Robert Estienne offered here in a handsome and historically important contemporary English binding. Included in the present volume are Ba�f's monograph on ancient ships the author's treatise on Roman dress and his work on early vases and receptacles as well as an early printing of the first published monograph on colors "De Coloribus" by Antonio Telesio (1482-1534) which was later reprinted in Goethe's "Farbenlehre." A distinguished humanist and diplomat who was well known in his own time for translations of the Greek dramatists Ba�f (1485-1547) is today best remembered for the works contained in this collection. The woodcuts which include 20 of early ships may have been produced by the atelier of Geoffroy Tory since five of them are signed with the Lorraine cross (Tory was the Royal printer of France appointed by Fran�ois I whose title included Duke of Lorraine). Our volume appears here in a lovely 16th century decorative binding that certainly is English and seems in design and execution similar to the work of the artist whom Nixon dubbed the "Dudley Binder" for the work he did for Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester. Our binding's central panel with its oval medallion and ornate cornerpieces is typical of the Dudley Binder's work (see for example items #16 and 17 in Nixon's "Five Centuries" and Foot's "Davis Gift" #43).

Boccaccio, Giovanni Laberinto d'amore. Con una epistola a messer Pino de Rossi confortatoria del medesimo autore e di nuovo corretto
per Pietro di Nicolini da Sabio [colophon: Vinegia: per Pietro di Nicolini da Sabio, 1536]. Bound as above; spine lightly faded and front cover with two small spots. Some small, light stains in text (only); generally, a very good copy.. Small 8vo (15.5 cm; 6"). 72 ff. . A handsome copy of this well-printed Renaissance edition of Boccaccio's problematic work about a man jilted or scorned, written in the 1360s. As to the complicated nature of the content, its relation to Boccaccio's life, and its date of composition, we refer the reader to Brown University's "Decameron Web," where Dr. Guyda Armstrong writes that in it "Boccaccio demonstrates his familiarity with the canon of classical and medieval antifeminist texts, and succeeds in creating what is practically an encyclopaedia of the genre."#11; The work is now generally better known under the title Il Corbaccio, although all editions use the title found here. As one would expect with a Venetian-printed Renaissance work of literature, the text is in italic type; and this was printed early enough in the 16th century that the title-page offers a charming four-element architectural woodcut border.#11; Binding: Finely bound in 19th-century English straight-grained red morocco, with ornamental gilt border to covers, gilt-extra panelled spine, and two black leather spine labels. Board edges with a gilt roll; complex gilt inner dentelles and marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. [Bookseller: SessaBks, A Division of the Philadelphia]

Lucianus, Samosatensis. [three lines in Greek characters transliterated as] Loukianou Peri Parasitou, etoi hoti techne he parasitike, [then in roman characters] Luciani parasitus, ubi artem ese parasiticam astruit.
Parisiis: Ex officina Christiani Wecheli, 1536. Small 8vo. [20] ff. Whether Lucian is truly the author of this work (The Parasite) is still open to some contention. In it he, or the real author, weighs in on the age-old question of whether philosophy or rhetoric is the higher art form and instead proves both ironically and satirically that parasitism is the highest of all art forms. Text entirely in elegant Greek and with but one woodcut initial. The printer's device of a Pegasus is on the title-page. Rare: We find no copy in WorldCat or COPAC.
