Cardano, Girolamo.
De malo recentiorum medicorum medendi usu libellus. GM 5370.
Venice: Octavio Scotto, 1536. First Description of Typhus & a Rickettsial Infection Cardano, Girolamo (1501-76). De malo recentiorum medicorum medendi usu libellus . . . Eiusdem libellus de simplicium medicinarum noxa. 8vo. 105, [7]pp. (last leaf blank). 146 x 97 mm. Modern limp vellum, 16th century style. Faint staining on first & last leaves, slight browning, some printed glosses minutely cropped, but still fine. Small old armorial stamp on title & colophon. A few 16th century annotations. Venice: Ottaviano Scoto, 1536. First Edition. G-M 5370. The first description of typhus, and of a Rickettsial infection. Cardano called it "morbus pulicaris" or "flea-like disease" because the spots in typhus resemble flea-bites. The description is found in De malo recentiorum medicorum medendi usu, which translates as "On the bad practices of modern physicians." Not distinguishing typhus from measles is the thirty-sixth "fatal error" of the physicians. De malo was Cardano's first book; it sold very well, except among the physicians whose colleague Cardano wanted to become. Cardano's criticisms, however, put sufficient pressure on the Milan physicians that they offered him some concessions, and this in turn opened the way to triumph for Cardano, who rose to the second most prominent physician in Europe after Vesalius. The book is extremely rare; the great medical collectors had later editions (Waller and Cushing) or none (Osler). Ore, Cardano (1965)12-13. Major 161-64. Durling 841.

Young, 1632. [vi], 1464 (i.e. 1460), [86] pp. Title printed within woodcut architectural border. [Bound with] Manby, Thomas. [Pulton, Ferdinando]. A Collection of the Statutes Made in the Reigns of King Charles the I. and King Charles the II.: With the Abridgment of Such as Stand Repealed or Expired. London: Printed by John Streater, James Flesher, and Henry Twyford, 1667. [xvi], 325, [6] pp. Woodcut frontispiece coat of arms. Folio (13" x 8-1/2"). Recent period-style quarter calf over cloth, raised bands and lettering piece to spine, endpapers renewed. Woodcut head-pieces, tail-pieces and decorated initials.

Pulton was a commoner of Brasenose College, Oxford, a fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge, and a member of Lincoln's Inn. As a Catholic Pulton was not allowed to practice, so he devoted his energies to editing the statutes. He published An Abstract of All the Penal Statutes in 1560 and A Kalendar, Or Table, Comprehending the Effect of All the Statutes in 1606. A Collection of Sundrie Statutes, his magnum opus, was first published in 1618. Though it had its defects, "it is clear that Pulton's edition was an advance upon all former editions of the statutes. He set a new standard to the makers of these editions, to which subsequent editors made at least an attempt to conform. We shall see that this standard was a good deal higher that that either aimed at or attained by those who edited the Reports of this period.": Holdsworth, A History.

(WR 16-130) Erste Ausgabe.- Enthält in den beiden ersten Abschnitten einen knappen Abriss der römischen und römisch-deutschen Geschichte von Romulus bis auf Kaiser Karl V., im dritten Teil eine Übersetzung von Capellas Beschreibung des Mailänder Krieges. Der sehr gewandte, aber auch geltungssüchtige Humanist Heinrich Eppendorf ist unrühmlich bekannt durch seine Mittlerrolle zwischen Erasmus und dem todkranken Hutten, in der er das Vertrauen beider Seiten missbraucht hat. Dagegen verdient seine umfangreiche Übersetzertätigkeit "in stilistischer und gehaltlicher Hinsicht stärkere Beachtung. Eppendorf, der damit auch auf Hans Sachs einwirkte, hatte wesentlichen Anteil daran, die antike Prosa in Deutschland populär gemacht und mit seiner kräftigen, sprichwortreichen, latinisierende Satzbildungen verschmähenden Sprache in das Denken des deutschen Volkes eingefügt zu haben" (NDB 4, 549).- Muller 95, 221 = Ritter 889; VD 16 E 1848; BM STC German 274.- Zwei weitere Werke zur antiken Geschichte angebunden: 2.

Die Darstellung des bedeutenden italienischen Humanisten und Historikers Leonardo Bruni, genannt Aretino, ist nicht so selbständig, wie der Titel glauben machen will - es handelt sich vielmehr weitgehend um eine Übersetzung aus dem Polybios (vgl. Fueter 16). Herrlich illustrierter Druck aus der Offizin von Heinrich Steiner.

Bl.- Erste deutsche Ausgabe.- Hauptwerk des Orosius (der Vorname Paulus ist spätere Zutat). Auf Anregung des Hl. Augustinus und in Ergänzung zu dessen Schrift über den Gottesstaat verfasste Universalgeschichte, die das geschichtsphilosophische Denken des Abendlandes nachhaltig beeinflusst hat. Gegen die "geschichtspessimistische" Niedergangs-Hypothese vom goldenen, silbernen ... Zeitalter stellte Orosius die optimistische Betrachtung der Geschichte als Heilsgeschichte. Er will zeigen, dass die Menschheit schon vor dem Aufkommen des Christentums - und sogar schlimmer - von Elend, Krieg und Leid heimgesucht wurde. Darüber hinaus besitzt die Chronik für seine eigene Zeit - die Wende vom 4. zum 5. Jahrhundert - Quellenwert. Der aus Straßburg stammende Bartholomäus Grüninger war der zweite Colmarer Drucker.

VENUTI Antonino.
De agricultura opusculum.
Venice, Melchior Sessa, 1536 8vo: Sessa's cat-and-mouse device on title-page, roman type. Recent binding of old vellum; ungenerous margins. Very rare second edition of an important work for our knowledge of agricultural practice in Sicily during the end of the 15th century and beginning of the 16th. The Latin title is left from the first edition, Naples, 1516; the text, however, is Italian. Venuti spent his life in Sicily and in this practical work exhibits the development during that period from its primitive economy based on sugar-cane towards the more modern practices of viticulture and the cultivation of fruit-trees, the two topics to which nearly all this manual is devoted. Nicoli, Scritti teorici e technici di agricultura, p.61 et seq.; Argoli p.47; not in BL.; not in Adams; NUC lists a single copy at Harvard; the Censimento notes only two copies - Casale Monferrato and Padova.

Bible - Psalms; Campensis, Joannis [Jacque Cappel (Capellus)].
ENCHIRIDION PSALMORUM...
Seb[astian] Gryphius, Lugduni (Lyon): 1536. Full Title: "ENCHIRIDION PSALMORUM. Eorundem ex veritate Hebraica versionem, ac Ioannis Campensis e regione paraphrasim, sic ut versus versui respondeat, complectens. Concionem praeterea Salomonis Ecclesiastae, per eundem Campensem ex Hebraico [paraphrasichos] traductam." ff. 320 leaves. Latin text in parallel columns, with some Hebrew and Greek. 16mo. 75 x 105 mm. Almost disbound, but with old (1799-1801) paper wraps from a ledger. A worthwhile candidate for a nice binding. A rare Paraphrase of the Hebraic Psalms by the important Flemish humanist Jean de Campen [Jacques Cappel or Capellus] (1490-1538). Cappel followed closely the ideas of Elias Levita (or Eliaha Bokhar), a Jewish teacher of Hebrew in Renaissance Italy, who was an extremely influential philologist, grammarian, and lexicographer, who also taught Sebastian Munster. He studied further in Germany and Poland, and consulted the most learned Rabbis. This work, was first published in 1532, and met great success. It was translated into French (1534) by Etienne Dolet, and also into Flemish, German and English. This 1536 edition is quite scarce. It's small size meant that it could be carried about and be readilly consulted - thus most copies were "read to death". Apparently it is not in Adams; nor BMC-French STC.

The accounts of Magellan's circumnavigation that begin this volume come from the two most authoritative descriptions of that voyage, those produced by Maximilianus Transylvanus and by Francisco Antonio Pigafetta.

SIRIGATTO, Francisco.
De Ortu et Occasu Signorum Libri duo.
Lyon : Sebastianus Grypius, 1536. 4to. pp. 132, [iv]. Roman letter. Woodcut initials with human figures, printer's device on title and verso of final leaf. A very little occasional light thumbing, small crease to upper margin of a few pages (including title), not touching text. In fine contemporary ?English calf over pasteboard, with double ruled rectangular panel, fleur de lys gilt at corners, central fleurons gilt. Spine in seven compartments, 17th-century red leather label. Corners a little bumped, joints slightly cracked at head and foot of spine, very light scuffing to boards, lacking ties. 16th-century inscription of Thomas Knyvett on title, repeated (most probably his pressmark on final leaf), library of the Earls of Macclesfield at Shirburn Castle, their armorial bookplate inside upper cover, and blindstamp to first gathering. A very good copy of the second, Lyonnaise, edition of Sirigatto's astronomical work, with a desirable provenance. Sirigatto, a Florentine working before 1550, initially published this work in Naples in 1531 ("Fort rare" Huzeau & Lancaster). Using the Ptolemaic system of celestial motion, Sirigatto here lays out his own observations of the appearance and the various movements of the constellations throughout the year. The work is divided into two 'books', the first dealing with a day-by-day annual account of the appearance of the constellations, the second describing their movements in 'rising' and 'setting' ('ortu' and 'occasu'), this data theoretically permitting the contemporary scientist to predict the motion of the stars. In his preface to Leo X, Sirigatto tells us that the work is intended for use in all branches of science; in the 16th century, of course, everything from chronology to navigation to agriculture was essentially star dependant. Thomas Knyvett of Ashwellthorpe (c.1539-1618), was a noted sixteenth-century book collector (for this collection, see: D. McKitterick, The Library of Sir Thomas Knyvett of Ashwellthorpe, Cambridge, 1978), more than four hundred of whose books passed (c. 1693) into the hands of John Moore, Bishop of Ely (whom Dibdin calls "the father of black-letter collectors in this country"), his collection was purchased en bloc by George I then passed to the Cambridge University Library. This copy may, then, have either been sold as a duplicate in Knyvett's or Moore's collections, or been sold from Knyvett's collection in the eighty or so years between his death and Moore's purchase of his books, and thence acquired by the Earls of Macclesfield (the first Earl was actively collecting at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries).

CORNAZZANO ANTONIO
DE RE MILITARI, NUOVAMENTE CON SOMMA DILIGENTIA IMPRESSO.
(In fine:) In Vinegia, nelle case di Pietro di Nicolini da Sabbio, nell'anno di nostra salute MDXXXVI del mese di Marzo (1536), in-8, ff. 183 (manca ultimo bianco), importante legatura coeva in vitello, alle armi dei Turinetti di Priero, impresse in oro ai piatti; al dorso titolo su tassello e fregi in oro (difetti alle cerniere e agli angoli).

Condition: 183 x 116mm. A few gatherings browned and some light dampstaining. Binding: Contemporary limp vellum. Spine torn but sound, ties lacking. In a cloth folding case.

Annotations apparently in the same hand throughout, including notes on medicines and several words of Greek. References: EDIT16 CNCE 20162; Wellcome 2564; Durling 1862; not in Adams. Reprint of the second edition of the translation and commentary by Guenther von Andernach; the first seven books were published at Paris in 1530, the first separate edition of Galen's text, and a second edition, containing ten books, was published in 1535, of which this seems to be a reprint. There was also a Basle edition of 1530, with other works. An attractive copy with contemporary annotations of an early printing of the first separate edition of Galen's work on the diseases of different parts of the body and their treatment with compound medicines. The edition was prepared by Guenther von Andernach for his pupils in Paris, among whom was the young Vesalius, who studied with Guenther from 1533 until 1536, when this edition was printed in Venice and Vesalius moved to Padua. Vesalius assisted Guenther in his public lectures and in the preparation of his Institutiones anatomicae (Paris, 1536), which he in turn edited for his own students at Padua in 1538. From his strongly Galenic training with Guenther, Vesalius took his stand in the dedicatatory epistle in the Fabrica against fashionable doctors who scorned to use their hands, and left the preparation of medicine to druggists, unlike Galen who prepared all his own medicines. All the early editions of Guenther's recension of the text are rare, and this Venice edition is the earliest in the Wellcome Library and National Library of Medicine catalogues. There is no modern edition or translation of Guenther's text. [Bookseller: Roger Gaskell ABA ILAB]

Concionem praeterea Salomonis Ecclesiastae, per eundem Campensem ex Hebraico [paraphrasichos] traductam." ff. 320 leaves. Latin text in parallel columns, with some Hebrew and Greek. 16mo. 75 x 105 mm. Almost disbound, but with old (1799-1801) paper wraps from a ledger. A worthwhile candidate for a nice binding. A rare Paraphrase of the Hebraic Psalms by the important Flemish humanist Jean de Campen [Jacques Cappel or Capellus] (1490-1538). Cappel followed closely the ideas of Elias Levita (or Eliaha Bokhar), a Jewish teacher of Hebrew in Renaissance Italy, who was an extremely influential philologist, grammarian, and lexicographer, who also taught Sebastian Munster. He studied further in Germany and Poland, and consulted the most learned Rabbis. This work, was first published in 1532, and met great success. It was translated into French (1534) by Etienne Dolet, and also into Flemish, German and English. This 1536 edition is quite scarce. It's small size meant that it could be carried about and be readilly consulted - thus most copies were "read to death". Apparently it is not in Adams; nor BMC-French STC.

Wonderful woodcut printer's device at end showing a hunter with two dogs about to step off of a little rock hill, with the legend: "Undique Praecipitium." Early manuscript ownerships on the title page. Contemporary full leather binding; spine perished. Frans Titelmans (Franciscus Hasseltensis) [1502-1537] was born in Hasselt, in Limburg. He matriculated at Louvain in 1518, obtained a MA in 1521, and studied theology while teaching philosophy in the arts faculty. Around 1523 he entered the Franciscan order at the Louvain Monastery, and was chosen to instruct his fellow monks. Impressed with the stricter rule of the newly founded Capuchins, he set out for Italy in 1535 to join that order and devote himself to works of charity (and some teaching). In his lectures and writings he followed medieval techniques of interpretation "prefering the pure fountain of St. Thomas Aquinas to the troubled waters of humanist philology." He was involved in a brief but increasingly bitter dispute with Erasmus (1527-1530) - with neither man influencing the ideas of the other. This particular exposition on Catholic liturgy is extremely scarce. MOUNT BX1 [Bookseller: The Family Album]

Early 19th-century vellum, spine with red and green morocco lettering-pieces, yapp foredge, marbled endpapers A remarkable volume, bringing together the most important early accounts of navigation and New World exploration, featuring the second edition of Pigafetta's famous narrative of Magellan's circumnavigation - supplemented by an early edition of Maximilianus Transylvanus's account of Magellan - and also including the complete three books of the "Summario de la general historia de l'Indie Occidentali," Giovanni Ramusio's first collection of New World narratives, containing Martyr, Oviedo, and Ramusio's descriptions of exploration in the Americas. Evidently the Magellan account was always intended to be the fourth and final part of this collection, the first three of which detail explorations in the New World, and were printed in Venice in 1534, although the few other copies of the "Summario" that have appeared on the market have been without it. The accounts of Magellan's circumnavigation that begin this volume come from the two most authoritative descriptions of that voyage, those produced by Maximilianus Transylvanus and by Francisco Antonio Pigafetta. Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521) was born in Portugal and served his country in East Asia and Africa. In 1517 he offered his services to King Charles V of Spain, arguing that the Moluccas Islands were within the region of discovery assigned to Spain by Pope Alexander VI. Magellan and 265 sailors aboard five ships left Spain in August 1519, sailing through the straits off the southern coast of South America that now bear his name and into the Pacific Ocean, which Magellan himself named due to its apparently tranquil nature. He sailed across the unexplored Pacific with no charts and equipment consisting only of a compass, an hourglass, and an astrolabe, relying on the sun for his calculations of latitude, and with no knowledge of longitude. He arrived at the Philippines (which he had earlier visited sailing from the west), where he was killed by natives in April 1521. The command of the voyage devolved to Sebastiano del Cano, who led the remaining ships and crew across the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope, and back to Spain. They arrived at Seville in September 1522 with only one ship, the Victoria, and eighteen sailors still alive. "To many the first circumnavigation of the globe, which unfolded to the world the vastness of the Pacific and a new conception of geography, is as great an event as the discovery of America" (Streeter Americana Beginnings). The earliest account of Magellan's voyage was written by Maximilianus Transylvanus, the natural son of the Archbishop of Salzburg according to some, and a student of the great chronicler of discoveries, Peter Martyr. When the survivors of the voyage went to Valladolid to report to the Emperor, Martyr asked Maximilianus to interview the sailors and to write an account [Bookseller: Donald A.

ESTIENNE, CH.
De re hortensi libellus, vulgaria herbarum, florum, ac fructicum, qui in hortis conseri solent nomina Latinis vocibus efferre docens ex probatis authoribus. In puerorum gratiam atque utilitatem.
Paris, Robert Estienne, 1536. Sm.8vo. 19th century half brown morocco, spine gilt, red painted edges (L. CLAESSENS). With woodcut printer's device on title. 96, (16) pp. Second edition "recognitus et auctus" of one of the first real children's books, first published in 1535. Charles Estienne (1504-1564), was at the time employed as private tutor to Jan Antoine de Baïf, son of the humanist and diplomat Lazare de Baïf (ca. 1496-1547). Estienne planned to publish a series of books, especially written for children's enjoyment. Of course the books were instructive as most adult reading was at the time, but they were intended for children's entertainment, not mere school books they should learn by heart. The first books were abridged adaptations for children of Lazare de Baïf's scholarly monographs on Roman antiquities with French glossaries added, the first on Roman dress, and the second on Roman vessels. The present third children's book however, was from Estienne's own hand, based on original information, drawn from his own great interest in botany. The book gives the names and descriptions of plants and trees, with French translations of botanical terms, and a short Latin-French dictionary. Charles Estienne was a member of the famous Paris family of scholar printers and he was still very young when he finished his studies as doctor of medicine. As tutor to Lazare's son he travelled to Germany and Italy where he met distinguished scholars, including Paul Manutius. Charles remained Roman Catholic, so he became responsible for the printing office at Paris when his Protestant brother went in exile to Geneva, from 1551 to 1561. Charles Estienne, or Carolus Stephanus, printed some beautiful books, including some excellent works on his own fields of learning, medicine, botany and agriculture. For the latter works the present children's book on plants and trees had been the first preamble. Fine copy.

In folio (29,7x22,2 cm); (8), 180 pp. Al colophon: Excudebat Ioannes Lodoicus Tiletanus Mense Martio MDXXXVI. Legatura settecentesca in mezza pergamena con ai piatti applicata carta marmorizzata. Bel frontespizio con cornice architettonica xilografica con veduta di una bottega di stampatori mentre viene stampato un libro. Pochi fori di tarlo nelle prime 6 cc (non fastidiosi). RARA edizione dell'opera di uno delle piu' importanti fonti di storia della chiesa stampata a Parigi. Poco si sa della vita di Beda, santo e dottore della Chiesa. Probabilmente di umili origini anche il suo nome e' sconosciuto, quello utilizzato Beda , inglese antico Baeda, viene in realta' da un vocabolo sassone che vuol dire preghiera. L'unico profilo della sua vita lo forni' l'autore stesso nella sua opera "Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum". Nacque in Inghilterra nella provincia Northanimbrorum o regno di Northumbriaregno Anglo, cosi' chiamato perche' si estendeva a nord del fiume Humber nella odierna regione del Northumberland, e precisamente nella cittadina di Monkton in Jarrow nel 672 o 673 d.C. La sua vita e' legata a due monasteri benedettini: san Pietro a Uiuraemuda, oggi Wearmouth (dove arrivo' all'eta' di 8 anni) e e a quello di San Paolo nei pressi di Ingyruum, oggi Jarrow nella contea di Durham, alla foce del fiume Tyne, che nacque come costola del primo e dove vi si trasferi' poco dopo la sua fondazione e visse fino alla morte fatta eccezzioni per due viaggi (non provati dalla storiaografia ufficiale) a York e Lindisfarne. Beda e' considerato il piu' grande erudito dell'Alto Medioevo. Scrisse opere a carattere storico, filosofo, grammatico, poetico, astronomico e trattati di musica e matematica. Proprio per le sua grande erudizione Beda e' il patrono degli studiosi. Rara edizione ad opera di due fra i piu' grandi stampatori francesi del XVI secolo: Giovanni de Roigny e del cognato originario di Amiens Michel Vascosan. Vescovan fu uno dei primi ad abbandonare l'uso dei caratteri gotici a Parigi. Mira scrive nel suo celebre Manulae di Bibliografia (Palermo, 1861 pag. 437) che le opere di Vescosano si "raccomandano per la scelta delle opere, per la bellezza della carta; per la eleganza e sopratutto per la corezione". Proverbiale e' infatti la scarsissima presenza di errori di sorta nelle edizioni di Vescosan. L'opera contiene i "Proverbia Saolomonis" i "Cantica Canticorum". In particolare il cantico dei cantici e' uno dei passaggi piu' inusuali della Bibbia. Presente sia nella Bibbia cristiana che in quella ebraica, narra dell'amore tra due innamorati con una vena sensuale. Il nome di Dio non e' mai citato e questo passo biblico e' solitamente interpretato come allegoria religiosa. I cristiani vedono in esso l'amore del Cristo per la chiesa, mentre gli ebrei l'amore del creatore per il suo popolo. Per la santita' del contesto e del suo significato simbolico, il testo viene paragonato al luogo piu' santo ed interno del Tempio di Gerusalemme, il Kodesh haKodashim: il Cantico dei Cantici infatti include metaforicamente tutta la Torah. OPERA IN BUONO STATO DI CONSERVAZIONE e ASSAI RARA. [Bookseller: Studio bibliografico ANTONIO ZANFROGNINI]
