BETULIUS, XYSTUS (SIXT BIRCK el. BIRCKUS).
Susanna. Comoedia tragica.
|
- Augsburg, Philippus Ulhardus, 1537. Small 8vo. Unbound, with the original cordes. First two quires loose (in their entirety). Faint dampstaining throughout. A nice copy. Large woodcut vignette (the German double-eagle) to title-page. (46 ff. + final blank). Exceedingly scarce first Latin edition (being the first edition thus) of Sixt Birck's important and greatly influential political and religious Reformation drama, his highly interesting and original version of the Susanna legend.When living in Basel and working as a rector there (1530-34), the German dramatis and later Augsburg-rector Sixt Birck, or Xystus Betelius, (1501-1554) had been asked by the town council to write a religious play. Protestant town councils of the period took an especially active role in determining the theatrical repertory of their cities, so that the local stage at times became an extension of council policy. This did not please Birck, who had wanted to write a political play, but nonetheless he composed the first version of his first play, the famous "Susanna" (a later so frequently used theme of Reformation plays - with no less than 16 dramatizations in Germany alone from 1490 till 1627), which thus appeared in German in 1532. However, after having moved back to his home town Augsburg in 1534, he began writing his Latin-language version "Susanna", which appeared in 1537. In this, perhaps the most important edition of the work, Birck chastised the council for having required of him a religious drama instead of the political play that he would have preferred. The Latin version had thus become a much more politically oriented work, and the main goals of this Latin play seem to have been 1) to politically educate the audience, 2) to combine religion and politics in a sensible way, 3) to erect a model for how a Protestant republic should be governed, and finally 4) to create a genre of dramas to be played by school students. This Latin version is often considered a work in its own, as it differs so much in content from the German version.Unlike the German version of the play, the Latin version was written for Birck's students in Augsburg. And as such, "Susanna" in Latin, printed in 1537 is considered the first play within the tradition of the German "shool dramas", and Birck is considered the father of this tradition, which later established itself as a distinct branch within the "Jesuit theatre".Apart from this stylistic fact, the play sets out to create a model for the government of a Protestant republic, and with this aim in mind, Birck puts an entirely new focus on the Susanna-figure, which is very different from the classical account of her. Instead of focusing on Susanna'a chastity, Birck focuses on how her case was handled by the local magistrates and council, and at the same time he dramatically recreates the contemporary legal procedures. Completely untraditionally, he portrays Sussana's absolute faith in the law and her right to appeal, which guarantees that she will be given a fair trial. At the end, though, the drama changes from a mainly political point of view to a strictly religious one. "The "Susanna" of Sixt Birck or Xystus Betulius is chiefly remarkable for the extreme elaboration of its picture of the trial of the heroine, in which the respectable members of the court, who are extremely numerous, distinguish themselves by giving their judgment dead against Susanna, in great individual detail." (Saintsbury George, The Earlier Renaissance, p. 341)."The paradox in Protestant thought between man's fallen nature and his educability was more apparent in Sixt Birck's two Susanna plays (German, 1532; Latin, 1537). In these works, the theological significance of Birck's religious plot contradicted the sociopolitical lessons he had incorporated into his plays. The discrepancy was especially evident in the Latin drama where Birck developed his ideas about sociopolitical function of theater" (Parente, Religious Drama and the Humanist Tradition, [Attributes: First Edition]

|
Christian Wechel Paris 1537 Contemporay limp vellum (early repair; a bit warped) 8vo . Very rare edition of the second book of Pliny's Natural History, dealing for the most part with astronomy; e.g. comets, fixed stars, movement of the planets, phases of the moon, latitude and longitude, measuring the earth and so on. The work also includes physical geography and related topics; e.g. the winds, air, tides, earthquakes, climates, etc. Appended are two essays by Hermolaus Barbarus, the younger ("Castigationes Prima" & "Secunda"; Johann Caesarus' "Annotationes"; and Pedro Juan Oliver's "Annotationes." This would have been an student's introductory text to the physical sciences which would probably explain its scarcity with the OCLC only locating a copy at the Bayersiche Staatsbibliothek 154 pp. [3] leaves (all blank except for the last page with the printer's woodcut device). With woodcut printer's device on title and last leaf; woodcut initials; faint dampstain on last few leaves. § DSB, XII, pp. 38-40; Schweiger II, 793; not in Adams or the BM/STC French

[Euclid]
Euclidis Megarensis Mathematici Clarissimi Elementorum Geometricorum Lib XV!
|
Basil: : Apud Johannem Hervagium, Mense Augusto Augusto, , 1537. . Full Vellum. Very Good. Folio (29.8 x 20.1 cm). Period vellum with title in ink. [8] 1!587 [1] p. + Ornamental capitals and diagrams in text. Latin text with Greek letters used for designating points on geometric diagrams. Preface present. Repairs to paper of several pages. Original free end papers replaced by early 18th century paper having armoral watermark (front) common to paper from The Hague or Leiden. Minor damp staining on head and tail of several signatures not affecting text. This is the first Latin edition of the Herwagen Euclid with the very scarce preface of Philip Melanchthon, and first appearance of the fragment with four theorems by Levi. Censors often removed the preface from many copies. It is rare to find this preface present. Provenance: Signature of Longomontanus written on the title page to the left of publisher and date of publication: !Ex lib. Christian S. Longomans.! Christian Severin known as Longomontanus (1562!1647) was a Danish astronomer and pupil of Tycho Brahe and succeeded him in 1601 as professor of astronomy. His major work was Astronomia Dania. The ink marginala in Latin on the first two pages of the preface and Greek on p. 6 at the end of Euclid!s definitions from Campanus appear to be Severin!s. Armorial bookplate of Sir Alexander Campbell of Cesnok (2nd Earl of Marchmont and Lord Polwarth) on front pastedown. He was one of the !Senators of the College of Justice and one of the Lords of Her Majesties most Honorable Privy Counsell & Exchequer &C: 1707.! Lord Polwarth was a member of the Scottish Parliament for Berwickshire, an advocate of the union with England (and thus the inclusion of 1707 on the amoral book plate), Lord Clerk Register, and envoy to Denmark (from 1716!1733). It was probably during his visit to Denmark as envoy that Sir Alexander Campbell purchased or received Severin!s copy of Euclid!s Elements. (Thomas-Stanford, 9; Houzeau- Lancaster 832; Adams H. 974)

Basel, Johannes Hervagius 1537. Folio. [VIII],587p. With printer's mark on title and on verso of last leaf, and numerous woodcut initials and figures in the text. Old limp vellum, a few imperfections. Title slightly frayed at margins, scattered scribbling in an old hand. A bright and clean copy with ample margins. Bookplate of the Bibliotheca Venerab: Conventus Viennensis in Rossaugia Ord. Servorum B.M.V.Euclid's Elements of geometry is a compilation of all Greek mathematical knowledge since Pythagoras and has been used as a textbook for centuries. It was the first mathematical book of any importance to be printed and the first book using diagrams. Euclid's work is divided into 13 books in which he treats plane geometry, the theory of proportion, the properties of numbers, irrational quantities, and solid geometry. Two more books were added by other authors. Our edition has appended some of Euclid's other works: the Phaenomena (astronomy), Specularia (catoptrics, of which Euclid's authorship has been doubted), Perspectiva (optics), and Data. This copy complete with the preface by Philip Melanchthon dated 1537, present in part of the remaining copies only. The Elements were printed for the first time in Venice in 1482 by Erhard Ratdolt, in a Latin translation by Johannes Campanus of Novara, from an Arabic manuscript. In 1505 a translation from the original Greek (the edition princeps did not appear before 1533) was done by the Venetian Bartolommeo Zamberti. The present edition largely follows the text of the edition brought out in Paris in 1516 giving both the translations by Campanus and by Zamberti in conjunction. It has Euclid's enunciations headed Eucli. ex Camp., followed in a smaller type by the proof headed Campanus and by text found in Campanus' translation but not in the Greek text with the heading Campani additio. Next follow the enunciations according to Zamberti's translation from the Greek headed Eucli. ex Zamb., then again in a smaller type the proof headed Theon ex Zamb. The present edition is augmented with Euclid's other works as quoted. The figures are printed within the text, whereas other editions have the figures printed in the margins. *P.M.M. 25.

Wien, [Singriener], 7. V. 1537. - Einblattdruck mit Unterschrift im Holzschnittdruck. Qu.-Folio (ca. 474:352 mm). Aufruf des römischen Königs, Erzherzog Ferdinand, zum Gebet gegen die Türkengefahr, veröffentlicht in Form einer Mandatsflugschrift während des Ersten Österreichischen Türkenkriegs. Erst 1529 hatte die Hauptstadt die Erste Wiener Türkenbelagerung überstanden, doch war die Gefahr damit keineswegs abgewendet: 1537 trat Venedig in den Krieg ein; 1552 endlich schlugen die Osmanen die Österreicher bei Palast. Das Königreich Ungarn wurde dreigeteilt, Ferdinand mußte jährlich einen Tribut von 30.000 Dukaten zahlen. - "Wie gross man damals die Gefahr hielt, und neue verheerende Türkenzüge in die österreichischen Lande befürchtete, erhellt aus der Aufforderung König Ferdinand's an alle Unterthanen, durch ein inbrünstiges Gebet die Schrecken und Gräuel eines blutigen Krieges von den ohnehin so oft und schwer heimgesuchten Ländern abzuwenden" (Oberleitner, S. 68). - Faltspuren; einige kl.

Ulm, Sebastian Franck 1537. (Facsimile. Schwäbisch-Gmünd [1928]) - 8 nn. Bl. Okart. mit äußerer Fadenheftung, der Umschlag außen u. innen überzogen mit gut erhaltenem Makulaturblatt aus einem religiösen Druck des 16. Jhdts. (!), in dessen 2spaltigem Satz ein hübscher Holzschnitt (7,5 x 9 cm). Das satirische Gedicht des Autors und hier auch Druckers Franck, ein früher Beitrag zum Thema "Geld regiert die Welt", ist zwar in Versen verfaßt, jedoch (vielleicht zur Papiereinsparung?) ganz unauffällig wie laufende Prosa gesetzt, nur in Absätzen unterbrochen. - Beweise für die Seltenheit und relative Unbekanntheit des Textes dürften sein: die maßgebliche Fr.-Bibliographie von Kl. Kaczerowsky (1976) verzeichnet unter A 116 nur die Orig.-Ausgabe mit Nachweis zweier Bibliotheksexemplare (München u. Stuttgart) nebst einem (kommentierten?) Wiederabdruck von Joh. Bolte in den Sitzungsberichten des Preuß. Akademie der Wissenschaften von 1925; dann lediglich noch vorliegendes Faksimile unter A 117. Die Nennung unter B 2 läßt erkennen, daß es sich bei der Orig.-Ausgabe um das zweite Produkt Francks im ersten Jahr seiner Druckertätigkeit handelt, die in Ulm nur 1539 dauerte. Frühe Publikation H.

Giovanni Francesco Camocio
Zarra et Contado citta principale della Dalmatia posta sul mare adriatico loco Ihr.me Sri. Venetiani al pnte molestata aa Turchi
|
Rare early map of the coast of Dalmatia, centered on the fortified city of Zarra, from Camocio's rare Isole Famose porti, fortezze, e terre maritime . . . The present example is from the first edition of the map, with no page number in the lower right corner. The map shows the Turkish and Venetian forces at war, symbolic of the conflicts in the region at the time of the publication of the map. Camocio's Isole Famose porti, fortezze, e terre maritime . . . is quite rare in its complete form and this map is rarely on the market. At the beginning of the 16th Century, Venice still controlled Dalmatia. However, the anti-Venetian League of Cambrai compelled Venice to withdraw its Dalmatian forces. After the Battle of Mohács, the Turks were able to easily conquer the greater part of Hungary, putting greater pressure on Dalmatia and other Adriatic states. Most ofl Dalmatia was conquered by the Turks by 1537. The treaty of 1540 left only the maritime cities and islands to Venice, while the interior became a Turkish province. The Turkish presense led to an exodus toward the coast, with Croatian refugees moving to the maritime cities and islands in great numbers and increasing the prospective allies available to the Ventians in their counteroffensive against the Tuks. At the time of the publication of this map, Venice and Turkey were again at war. At the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, a Dalmatian squadron assisted the allied fleets of Spain, Venice, Austria and the Papal States to defeat and cripple the Turkish navy.

PLINIUS SECUNDUS, C

|
Christian Wechel, Paris 1537 - Contemporay limp vellum (early repair; a bit warped) 8vo . Very rare edition of the second book of Pliny's Natural History, dealing for the most part with astronomy; e.g. comets, fixed stars, movement of the planets, phases of the moon, latitude and longitude, measuring the earth and so on. The work also includes physical geography and related topics; e.g. the winds, air, tides, earthquakes, climates, etc. Appended are two essays by Hermolaus Barbarus, the younger ("Castigationes Prima" & "Secunda"; Johann Caesarus' "Annotationes"; and Pedro Juan Oliver's "Annotationes." This would have been an student's introductory text to the physical sciences which would probably explain its scarcity with the OCLC only locating a copy at the Bayersiche Staatsbibliothek 154 pp. [3] leaves (all blank except for the last page with the printer's woodcut device). With woodcut printer's device on title and last leaf; woodcut initials; faint dampstain on last few leaves. § DSB, XII, pp. 38-40; Schweiger II, 793; not in Adams or the BM/STC French.

Basel, Johannes Hervagius 1537. Folio. [VIII],587p. With printer's mark on title and on verso of last leaf, and numerous woodcut initials and figures in the text. Old limp vellum, a few imperfections. Title slightly frayed at margins, scattered scribbling in an old hand. A bright and clean copy with ample margins. Bookplate of the Bibliotheca Venerab: Conventus Viennensis in Rossaugia Ord. Servorum B.M.V.Euclid's Elements of geometry is a compilation of all Greek mathematical knowledge since Pythagoras and has been used as a textbook for centuries. It was the first mathematical book of any importance to be printed and the first book using diagrams. Euclid's work is divided into 13 books in which he treats plane geometry, the theory of proportion, the properties of numbers, irrational quantities, and solid geometry. Two more books were added by other authors. Our edition has appended some of Euclid's other works: the Phaenomena (astronomy), Specularia (catoptrics, of which Euclid's authorship has been doubted), Perspectiva (optics), and Data. This copy complete with the preface by Philip Melanchthon dated 1537, present in part of the remaining copies only. The Elements were printed for the first time in Venice in 1482 by Erhard Ratdolt, in a Latin translation by Johannes Campanus of Novara, from an Arabic manuscript. In 1505 a translation from the original Greek (the edition princeps did not appear before 1533) was done by the Venetian Bartolommeo Zamberti. The present edition largely follows the text of the edition brought out in Paris in 1516 giving both the translations by Campanus and by Zamberti in conjunction. It has Euclid's enunciations headed Eucli. ex Camp., followed in a smaller type by the proof headed Campanus and by text found in Campanus' translation but not in the Greek text with the heading Campani additio. Next follow the enunciations according to Zamberti's translation from the Greek headed Eucli. ex Zamb., then again in a smaller type the proof headed Theon ex Zamb. The present edition is augmented with Euclid's other works as quoted. The figures are printed within the text, whereas other editions have the figures printed in the margins. *P.M.M. 25.

DES PERIERS Bonaventure B.
Cymbalum mundi ou dialogues satiriques sur differents sujets, avec une lettre critique dans laquelle on fait l'histoire, l'analyse, & l'apologie de cet ouvrage.
|
Cymbalum mundi connut deux premieres editions respectivement en 1537 et 1538, mais du fait de sa mise a l'index, les exemplaires sont devenus tres rares, il ne sera reedite qu'en 1711, puis en 1732 par le meme editeur (la preface de l'editeur est remarquable quant aux renseignements qu'il donne sur l'œuvre). Cette edition s'accompagne de notes et de commentaires et est la meilleure parue. §Plein Veau d'epoque marbre, dos a nerfs orne, piece de titre en maroquin rouge. Titre en rouge et noir. Edition illustree d'un frontispice et de 4 jolies gravures de Bernard Picard. Tres bon exemplaire. §Des Perier fut le valet de chambre de la reine de Navarre, son second ouvrage le plus connu reste Les nouvelles recreations et joyeux devis, ecrits dans un style rabelaisien. La drolerie, la satire et le rire ne sont jamais eloignes chez Des Perier. «Ce curieux ouvrage contient quatre interessants dialogues ayant trait surtout a la Mythologie. Dans le premier, Mercure est envoye du Ciel par Jupiter pour porter a Athenes un livre intitule le Livre des Destinees, qui lui est derobe pendant une absence. Dans le Second, Mercure, sous la figure d'un vieillard, s'entretient avec les philosophes sur la Pierre Philosophale. Dans le troisieme, Mercure s'apercoit qu'on lui a ravi le Livre des Destinees et qu'on s'en sert pour predire l'avenir, ce qui le rend furieux. Le quatrieme dialogue a lieu entre deux Chiens, ayant appartenu a Acteon et lui ayant mange la langue lorsqu'il fut metamorphose en cerf par Diane , ils en avaient obtenu la faculte de parler, et s'entretiennent sur la sotte curiosite des hommes pour les choses extraordinaires». Ces dialogues sont composes a la maniere de Lucien. Caillet (3080). Querard (II-527) : «L'edition de 1732 est la seule qui soit recherchee aujourd'hui».

LUTHER, Martin (1483-1546).
Die Lügend von S. Johanne Chrysostomo, an die Heiligen Peter inn dem vermeinten Concilio zu Mantua, durch D. Marti. Luther gesand.
|
Wittenberg, (Hans Lufft), 1537. - Kl.-4to (188 x 131 mm). [16] Bl. (das letzte leer). Moderner brauner Pappband. Erster Druck der Erstausgabe, mit der auf dem Kopf stehenden Initiale S im Titel auf Bl. 4a recto. Anlass zu dieser von Luther mit spöttischen Glossen versehenen Ausgabe der sittlich etwas anstössigen Chrysostomos Legende aus dem Prosapassional war das katholische Projekt eines Konzils in Mantua. In einer Bulle Papst Pauls III. vom 2. Juni 1536 war dazu eingeladen worden; im Februar darauf hatten Luther und andere protestantische Theologen sowie Stände in Schmalkalden dazu Stellung bezogen. Nach Luthers Rückkehr von dort wurde die vorliegende Edition verfasst. Seine Stellungnahmen sind dem beigegeben Widmungsbrief an den Papst und die Konzilsväter, dem Nachwort und den Glossen vorbehalten. Das Werk markiert den Beginn der protestantischen Legendenkritik und stellt die bedeutendste unter den in den späten 1530er Jahren verbreiteten Anti-Konzilschriften dar. Während jedoch bei Luther die Auseinandersetzung mit den impliziten theologischen Normen im Vordergrund steht, beschränkte sich die spätere Legendenpolemik auf die Verspottung von Fabulösem. - Beschmutzt und wasserfleckig, gebräunt. Benzing 3239; WA L, 50A; VD 16, L-5446; Kratzsch 883; The Richard C. Kessler Reformation Collection 934; A. Schnyder, Legendenpolemik und Legendenkritik in der Reformation, in: Archiv für Reformationsgeschichte LXX (1979), 122f. First issue of the first edition. While Luther was recovering from his serious attack of urinary tract stones, he wrote this polemic against the proposed council of Mantua. The pamphlet - of which the title is a pun on Legend/Lügend (Legend/Lie) - retells the legend of St. John Chrysostom. Luther attacks here the eternal deceit of popes, directing especial vernom at the pretence of a general council. It is the most important Anti-Council tracts produced in Germany in the late 1530s. - Poor copy, heavily soiled and waterstained, browned and somewhat short cut to edges. - Modern boards.

APOLLONIUS of Perga
Opera, per doctissimum philosophum Ioannem Baptistam Memum patritium Venetum, mathematicharumque artium in urbe Veneta lectorem publicum. De Graeco in Latinum traducta, & noviter impressa.
|
[Colophon:] Venice, Bernardinus Bindonus, 1537 Folio, ff 88 [1], without the final blank, title printed in red and black with woodcut portrait of a mathematician, and within elaborate woodcut border incorporating 22 portraits of scientists and philosophers, numerous diagrams in the text, and woodcut of Saint Peter at the end; abrasion to small, blank area of title, propositions xxxviii and xxxix on leaf g1 verso and proposition xxi on g6 recto misimposed and printed upside down (see below), the latter part of the work with short wormtrack to upper outer corners, a few upper outer corners stained and with old repairs; otherwise a very clean and crisp copy in nineteenth-century calf-backed marbled boards, spine gilt, red leather label. £22,500 First edition of Apolloniusís Conics (books I-IV; books V-VII werenít printed until 1661), one of the three greatest works, along with those of Euclid and Archimedes, of classical mathematics. This first edition is very rare and has escaped the notice of Dibner, Horblit, and Noman who only list the 1566 Commandino edition. ëApollonius (c. 245-190 BC) was the last of the great Greek mathematicians, whose treatise on conic sections represents the final flowering of Greek mathematicsí (Hutchinsonís Dictionary of Scientific Biography p 16). This edition is the first printing of any work by Apollonius, preceding by 29 years the Commandino edition of 1566, also of the first four books. These were the only books to survive in the original Greek; books V-VII survived in Arabic versions only (book VIII is lost), and were translated and published in 1661 at the instigation of Borelli. Apollonius synthesised the work of his predecessors and developed new methods and techniques for studying conics. ëFor a modern reader, the Conics is among the most difficult mathematical works of antiquity. Both form and content are far from tractable. The authorís rigorous rhetorical exposition is wearing for those used to modern symbolism... Apollonius has, in a way, suffered from his own success: his treatise became canonical and eliminated its predecessors, so that we cannot judge by direct comparison its superiority to them in mathematical rigor, consistency, and generality. But the work amply repays closer study; and the attention paid to it by some of the most eminent mathematicians of the seventeenth century (one need mention only Fermat, Newton, and Halley) reinforces the verdict of Apolloniusí contemporaries, who, according to Geminus, in admiration for his Conics gave him the title of The Great Geometer... ëThe first real impulse towards advances in mathematics given by the study of the works of Apollonius occurred in Europe in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries... It is hard to underestimate the effect of Apollonius on the brilliant French mathematicians of the seventeenth century, Descartes, Mersenne, Fermat, and even Desargues and Pascal, despite their very different approach. Newtonís notorious predilection for the study of conics, using Apollonian methods, was not a chance personal taste... It was not until Ponceletís work in the early nineteenth century... revived the study of projective geometry that the relevance of much of Apolloniusí work to some basic modern theory was realized...í ëHipparchus and Ptolemy absorbed his work and improved on it. The result, the Ptolemaic system, is one of the most impressive monuments of ancient science (and certainly the longest-lived), and Apolloniusí work contributed some of its essential partsí (DSB). The text was passed down by Eutocius, a Byzantine mathematician of the Justinian period. Books V-VII, which only survived in an Arabic version, were discovered by Borelli, and first printed, in Latin, in 1661. Book VIII is lost. This work was translated from the Greek, possibly using a manuscript belonging to the dedicatee Cardinal Marino Grimani, by Giovanni Battista Memmo (1466-1536), a Venetian patrician and the first professor of mathematics of the Venetian State. The misimpositions of g1 verso and g6 recto are probably due to the sheet having been incorrectly seen through the press, rather than the sign of an early issue.

PLINIUS SECUNDUS, C
Historiae naturalis liber secundus. Cum Hermolai Barbari Castigationibus,& annotationibus Ioannis Caesarii & Petri Ioannis Olivarii
|
Christian Wechel Paris 1537 Contemporay limp vellum (early repair; a bit warped) 8vo . Very rare edition of the second book of Pliny's Natural History, dealing for the most part with astronomy; e.g. comets, fixed stars, movement of the planets, phases of the moon, latitude and longitude, measuring the earth and so on. The work also includes physical geography and related topics; e.g. the winds, air, tides, earthquakes, climates, etc. Appended are two essays by Hermolaus Barbarus, the younger ("Castigationes Prima" & "Secunda"; Johann Caesarus' "Annotationes"; and Pedro Juan Oliver's "Annotationes." This would have been an student's introductory text to the physical sciences which would probably explain its scarcity with the OCLC only locating a copy at the Bayersiche Staatsbibliothek 154 pp. [3] leaves (all blank except for the last page with the printer's woodcut device). With woodcut printer's device on title and last leaf; woodcut initials; faint dampstain on last few leaves. § DSB, XII, pp. 38-40; Schweiger II, 793; not in Adams or the BM/STC French

Xenophon
Xenophons Treatise of Housholde
|
Thomas Berthelet, London 1537 - Exceptionally scarce early English edition of this classic work in surprisingly good condition. Architectural border to title page. Small paper flaw ro A8 leaving small chunk of loss to bottom margin not affecting text. 62 leaves plus colophon leaf. Collates complete. This copy has numerous neat contemporary ink marginal notes and two ink names to the title page. The earlier name is cropped slightly and illegible. The second name is probably 18th century and is of Joseph Berisford. The page block has been trimmed at some point and whilst this still leaves reasonable margins and is well away from the text, the ink notes have in some cases suffered. Bound in recent full calf. A very tidy, complete and clean example of this rare edition. 'Berthelet [Berthelot], Thomas (d. 1555), printer, was probably of French origin, and perhaps related to Jacques Berthelot (d. 1541), bookseller at Caen from 1527 and at Rennes from 1539 to 1541. The first mention of ‘Berthelett’, resident in the parish of St Dunstan, Fleet Street, London, is when he applied on 23 August 1524 for a licence to marry Agnes Langwyth, widow, at St Bride's, also in Fleet Street. On 27 September that year his first book, a small tract by the monk Galfredus Petrus of Bayeux, Opus sane de deorum dearumque gentilium genealogia (STC 19816.5) was printed ‘at the sign of the Roman Lucrece’, Berthelet's premises midway along Fleet Street. At this time printers were being warned against handling books labelled as heretical or seditious, and Berthelet was summoned before the vicar-general in March 1526 for printing A Devout Treatise upon the Pater noster and other works, without first submitting them for licence. He later reissued them, having obtained the necessary privileges. In 1528 he printed Thomas Paynell's translation of Regimen sanitatis Salerni, one of the most popular medical books, which was widely translated. Between 1531 and 1545 he printed all fifteen of Sir Thomas Elyot's works. Among his later publications were a few yearbooks of Edward III (1527–32; STC 9562, 9565) and Sir Anthony Fitzherbert's La novel natura brevium (1534; STC 10958), showing his familiarity with the legal world of Rastell and Pynson. Berthelet may not have immediately succeeded Richard Pynson (d. 1530) as king's printer, for John Rastell printed the statutes of 21 Henry VIII during the closing months of 1529, but he was already holding that office by 22 February 1530 when he was granted the annuity of £4 that went with it. He held the office until Henry's death, printing all statutes and proclamations with exemplary skill and efficiency, and on one occasion being ordered to produce a proclamation immediately, if necessary setting the type himself. His account submitted for payment covering the period 9 December 1541 to 12 June 1543 details not only quantities and costs of proclamations but also special purchases of books for the king, with the style and price of binding. Also king's business were several works fostering uniformity in religion such as the Bishops' Book (1537; STC 5163) and the King's Book (1543; STC 5168), of which multiple editions had to be printed. Following Henry's death in 1547 Berthelet did not seek to renew his patent as king's printer, which was taken up by the ardent protestant Richard Grafton under Edward VI. Berthelet was granted a coat of arms in 1549, and may have retired to live in his house in the adjacent parish of St Andrew, Holborn. He died in London on 26 September 1555, leaving a second wife, Margaret, and two sons: Edward, a lawyer of Lincoln's Inn, and Anthony, still a minor. His funeral, held at some point before 26 January 1556, was celebrated with great pomp, attended, as Machyn relates, by many priests, clerks, and mourners, and a concourse of his fellow craftsmen in the book trades, although it is not recorded where he was buried. His nephew Thomas Powell, who was free of the Stationers' Company in 1556, ran the business under Berthelet's name for s [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Basel, (Hieronymus Froben & Nicolaus Episcopius), 1537 (im Kolophon: 1536). - Kl.-4to (209 x 155). Mit 2 grossen, achtzeiligen Holzschnitt-Initialen, 2 kleineren schwarzgrundigen Initialen und kleiner Holzschnitt-Druckermarke auf Titel sowie ganzseitig auf Schlussblatt verso. 119, [1] S. [a-p4]. Flexibler Pergamentband im Stil des 16. Jhs. Die ebenso seltene wie bedeutende "Kommemorations-Ausgabe". Herausgegeben vom Freund, Erben und Testamentsvollstrecker, Bonifacius Amerbach (in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Beatus Rhenanus), enthält der Band einleitend Amerbachs persönlichen Bericht über die letzten Lebensjahre und den Tod des Erasmus (Allen, Ep. 3141), adressiert an den kaiserlichen Rat Johann Paumgartner, nach Fugger einer der reichsten Handelsherren der Zeit und ein Freund des Erasmus wie auch anderer Humanisten. Darauf folgt der Neudruck des Catalogus omnium lucubrationum von 1524, die auf Wunsch von Johann Botzheim 1522 erstmals verfasste Autobibliographie des Erasmus um den Brief sowie die Liste seiner Werke ergänzt, die Erasmus 1530 seinem alten Freund aus Pariser Zeiten, Hector Boece, zugeschickt hatte; diese Liste wurde von Amerbach seinerseits um die bis zum Tode von Erasmus erschienenen Schriften erweitert und thematisch gegliedert. Von speziellem Interesse sind die längeren Rechtfertigungen des Humanisten bezüglich seiner Polemik gegen Hutten und Luther und der zur Vorgeschichte der Diatribe de libero arbitrio wichtigen Erklärungen. Gegen Schluss macht Erasmus genaue Vorschläge für die Einteilung und künftige Herausgabe seiner gesammelten Werke. Ein zweiter, mit einem eigenen Titel versehener Teil, wird von einer Lobrede auf Erasmus von Germain de Brie eingeleitet und enthält Briefe sowie Gedenk- und Grabgedichte von befreundeten Autoren wie Johannes Sapidus, Georg Sabinus, Vitus Kopp, Simon Grynaeus, Giovanni Bressani, Nicolas I Bourbon, Jean Morel, Johannes Ulpius, Johannes Huser, Nicolaus Episcopius, Gilbert Cousin und Hieronymus Froben. Im Brief von Erasmus langjährigem Freund Paul Volz (Voltzius) an Rhenanus wird auch ausführlich Erasmus' Testament erwähnt. Als Schlusstext findet sich auf Seite 119 der hebräisch gedruckte Nachruf Sebastian Münsters. Wegen seines testamentarisch-memorativen Charakters bildet dieser Gedenkband gewissermassen eine Ergänzung zu Erasmus' Compendium vitae. Die Druckvorlage war von Amerbach an Rhenanus in Schlettstadt (Sélestat) zur Überprüfung gesandt worden. Rhenanus schlug die Form eines Druckes für Erasmus vor: nicht wie bei den früheren Catalogus Ausgaben im kleinenTaschenbuchformat und nicht in deren kleiner Antiquakursive, sondern im eleganteren Quartformat und gedruckt in jener Antiquatype wie sie auch für die Adagia Ausgaben verwendet worden waren. Auf Rhenanus' Vorschlag hin wurde im Untertitel auch der Hinweis auf die Epitaphia sowie der Vermerk gedruckt, dass damit jeglicher Fälschung, etwas als von Erasmus stammend herauszugeben, das dieser gar nicht geschrieben habe, der Weg versperrt sein möge. Minimal stockfleckig. Bezzel 311; Vander Haeghen 27; De Reuck 86; VD 16, E-2126; Index Aurel. 162.875; Panzer VI, 310.1052; Ausstellungskat. Erasmus von Rotterdam (Basel, 1986), 55f. und 195, Nr. E 12.5; Burmeister 29a. Nicht in Rummel/Schrag. A wide margined copy of the as rare as important "Commemorative edition" of the Catalogus lucubrationum, edited shortly after Erasmus' death by Bonifacius Amerbach (1495-1562) with the assistance of Beatus Rhenanus (1485-1547). It documents the importance of the Dutch humanist in the cultural life of early 16th century Europe. As preface a ten-page obituary by Amerbach, addressed to the Nuremberg merchant, financier and advicer to the emperor Johann Paumgartner (1488-1549). This Froben print offers the text of the greatly enlarged second edition of the Catalogus of 1524 and of the revised version of 1530. The editors added the titles which had appeared between 1530 and Erasmus' death. The second, intrinsically commemorative part has its own title (Epitaphiorum ac tumulorum libellus) and consists of contributions in pr

LETRES DU CARDINAL D'OSSAT. Corrigee sur le Manuscrit original & notablement augmentee, avec des notes Historiques & Politiques.

Paris, Jean Boudot, 1698. VOLUME 1 ONLY. Nouvelle edition, TEXT IN FRENCH. 4to, 260 x 200 mm, 10¼" x 8", half title, title page with woodcut, advertisment leaf and contents leaf plus 626 pages, bound in full contemporary calf, gilt lettering and decoration between raised bands to spine, red speckled edges. Head and tail of spine chipped, corners worn, covers rubbed and scuffed, small neat old ink inscription on first pastedown, slight age browning to endpapers otherwise a good tight clean copy. Arnaud d'Ossat (July 20, 1537 — March 13, 1604) was a French diplomat and writer, and a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, whose personal tact and diplomatic skill steered the perilous course of French diplomacy with the Papacy in the reign of Henri IV of France. In the course of his diplomatic career d'Ossat wrote many letters and memoranda, a selection of which, printed in 1614, long served as models for diplomats, owing not only to the importance of the questions which they treat, but especially to the talent for exposition which d'Ossat displays in them. The Acadmie Française inscribed Ossat among the "dead authors who have written our French language most purely" and Lord Chesterfield wrote to his son that the "simplicity and clearness of Cardinal d'Ossat's letters show how business letters should be written".

Basel, Johannes Hervagius 1537. Folio. [VIII],587p. With printer's mark on title and on verso of last leaf, and numerous woodcut initials and figures in the text. Old limp vellum, a few imperfections. Title slightly frayed at margins, scattered scribbling in an old hand. A bright and clean copy with ample margins. Bookplate of the Bibliotheca Venerab: Conventus Viennensis in Rossaugia Ord. Servorum B.M.V.Euclid's Elements of geometry is a compilation of all Greek mathematical knowledge since Pythagoras and has been used as a textbook for centuries. It was the first mathematical book of any importance to be printed and the first book using diagrams. Euclid's work is divided into 13 books in which he treats plane geometry, the theory of proportion, the properties of numbers, irrational quantities, and solid geometry. Two more books were added by other authors. Our edition has appended some of Euclid's other works: the Phaenomena (astronomy), Specularia (catoptrics, of which Euclid's authorship has been doubted), Perspectiva (optics), and Data. This copy complete with the preface by Philip Melanchthon dated 1537, present in part of the remaining copies only. The Elements were printed for the first time in Venice in 1482 by Erhard Ratdolt, in a Latin translation by Johannes Campanus of Novara, from an Arabic manuscript. In 1505 a translation from the original Greek (the edition princeps did not appear before 1533) was done by the Venetian Bartolommeo Zamberti. The present edition largely follows the text of the edition brought out in Paris in 1516 giving both the translations by Campanus and by Zamberti in conjunction. It has Euclid's enunciations headed Eucli. ex Camp., followed in a smaller type by the proof headed Campanus and by text found in Campanus' translation but not in the Greek text with the heading Campani additio. Next follow the enunciations according to Zamberti's translation from the Greek headed Eucli. ex Zamb., then again in a smaller type the proof headed Theon ex Zamb. The present edition is augmented with Euclid's other works as quoted. The figures are printed within the text, whereas other editions have the figures printed in the margins. *P.M.M. 25.

DRYANDER, JOHANNES.
Cylindri Usus et Canones...,
|
Im Pressum Marpurgi per Andream Kolbium, Calend. Junii, Anno &c 1st and sole Latin edition of this work, which appeared in a Germanûedition in 1537. Until definitive evidence confirms tne existence ofûSchoener's 'Horarii Cylindri Canones' of 1515, this little volume remainsûthe first printed work devoted to the pillar dial. In it Dryander makesûclear that he is building on the work of others, notably SebastianûMuenster and Oronce Fine, and in his justification of this latin editionûhis dedicatory letter prays in aid others who have published likewiseûin latin - Peuerbach, Regiomontanus, Apian, Schoener, and also Copernicus, whose 'De revolutionibus'ûhad appeared only a few months earlier. The folding plate, whichûillustrates the setting out of the dial, together with the pattern for theûgnomon, is the same as used in the german edition of 1537 - retaining bothûthe date and original german text.

Ulm, Sebastian Franck 1537. (Facsimile. Schwäbisch-Gmünd [1928]) - BestNr:FL10608 nn. Bl. Okart. mit äußerer Fadenheftung, der Umschlag außen u. innen überzogen mit gut erhaltenem Makulaturblatt aus einem religiösen Druck des 16. Jhdts. (!), in dessen 2spaltigem Satz ein hübscher Holzschnitt (7,5 x 9 cm).Das satirische Gedicht des Autors und hier auch Druckers Franck, ein früher Beitrag zum Thema "Geld regiert die Welt", ist zwar in Versen verfaßt, jedoch (vielleicht zur Papiereinsparung?) ganz unauffällig wie laufende Prosa gesetzt, nur in Absätzen unterbrochen. - Beweise für die Seltenheit und relative Unbekanntheit des Textes dürften sein: die maßgebliche Fr.-Bibliographie von Kl. Kaczerowsky (1976) verzeichnet unter A 116 nur die Orig.-Ausgabe mit Nachweis zweier Bibliotheksexemplare (München u. Stuttgart) nebst einem (kommentierten?) Wiederabdruck von Joh. Bolte in den Sitzungsberichten des Preuß. Akademie der Wissenschaften von 1925 dann lediglich noch vorliegendes Faksimile unter A 117. Die Nennung unter B 2 läßt erkennen, daß es sich bei der Orig.-Ausgabe um das zweite Produkt Francks im ersten Jahr seiner Druckertätigkeit handelt, die in Ulm nur 1539 dauerte. Frühe Publikation H. Aupperles, der sich als Antiquar und Kleinverleger lebenslang um die Erforschung und Wiedergabe der reformatorischen Flugschriftenliteratur verdient machte.460

TURINI (Andrea).
De curatione pleuritidis per Venae Sectionem.
|
Lyon, Michaelem Parmanterium, 1537. in-4. 6ff. 392pp. 10ff. Demi-reliure posterieure. Edition Originale de cet ouvrage sur la saignee d'Andrea Turini (1473-1543), celebre medecin italien dont la reputation et le savoir lui firent obtenir le titre de medecin personnel des papes Clement VII et Paul III, ainsi que des rois de France Louis XII et Francois Ier. L'ouvrage fut publie a Lyon avec une preface du grand medecin, litterateur et humaniste francais Symphorien Champier (1471- c. 1539) et une lettre d'introduction du medecin italien de Turin, Pietro de Bayro (1468-1558). Andrea Turino dedie son ouvrage au Papa Paul III et au medecin de Francois Ier Lodovicus Paniza. Ses conceptions sur la saignee susciterent en Italie des controverses parmi les grands noms de l'epoque, que ce volume illustre a travers 3 textes que Turini a fait imprimer a la suite de son ouvrage: 1). "Epistola Ioannis Manardi, Andrea Turinoa defenditur opinio De Sectione Venae lateris patientis". 2). "Epistola Ioannis Manardi, ad Iacobum Pharusium, Regiensem medicum, de Vena Sectione in Pleuritide et Spodio" (Ioannes Manardi, celebre medecin italien, Ferrara 1462-1536). 3). "Andreae Turinia ad Matthaeum Curtium Ticinen. De Vena in curationes Pleuritides incidenda". (Mathhaeus Curtius autre celebre medecin italien,1475-1542). Un dernier opuscule, adresse au meme Curtius concernant la nourriture, termine le volume. 4). "Disceptatiuncula medicaa adversus Mathaei Curtii, de prandi et coenae ratione". Mouillures claires.

Bologna: Alessandro Benacci, 1566 First Commandino edition. Folio (215mm x 315mm), two parts in one volume as issued. Contemporary vellum lettered in manuscript to the spine. Illustrated with woodcut diagrams throughout the text and woodcut initials. Minor repairs to the head of the spine. Contents sometime recased. Internally well margined, with some spotting and occasional early marginalia, but a generally clean and fresh copy. The most important text on conic sections, influencing many later scholars including Ptolemy, Newton, and Descartes. “The invention of conic sections is attributed to Menaechmus (4th cent. BC), a member of Plato’s Academy at Athens. Various species of conic sections were obtained by truncating an acute-angled, right-angled and obtuse-angled cone by a plane perpendicular to the generator of the cone.... The greatest ancient writer on conic sections was Apollonius of Perga (c.262-c.190 BC). His famous work Conics consisted of eight books and contained 487 propositions. Apollonius introduced the terms ellipse, parabola and hyperbola and showed that various sections of the cone can be obtained by varying the inclination of the intersecting plane... The Latin translation of the first four books of Apollonius by Gianbattista Memo appeared in Venice in 1537. The most notable printed edition of Apollonius’ Conics in the sixteenth century is based on the translation by Federico Commandino (1506-1575), who played the key role in the project of editing, translating and publishing classical Greek mathematical texts under the auspices of the Duke of Urbino.” (Koudela - Curves in the History of Mathematics: The Late Renaissance (2005))

First edition and a very fine copy in a handsome contemporary binding, of one of Agricola!s most important books which became a standard work on ancient weights and measures. It is !a valuable book of reference on the history of ancient measures...The book is also valuable to the student of Roman and Greek numerals, and of the various symbols of measures. Such works explain the origin of certain systems of measures employed before the metric system was developed, and of such symbols as are still used by apothecaries.!!Smith, Rara Arithmetica, pp. 171-73!(who, like several other bibliographers, describe in error the Paris edition of the same year as the first edition). Besides these subjects, Agricola discusses the value of metals of all kinds and of money both in ancient and modern times. II. First edition. Fichard (1512-81), a native of Frankfurt am Main, took his degree at Heidelberg and later translated some short works of Galen for inclusion in Cratander!s Latin edition of 1531. After receiving his law doctorate at Freiburg, Fichard travelled to Padua and Naples. When he returned to Germany, he settled in Frankfurt where he became a well-known and highly successful lawyer and diplomat. This is a collection of biographies of important people including Petrarch, Giovanni Antonio Campani, Pope Pius II (Piccolomini), Filippo Beroaldo, Mirandola, and Thomas More. Fine and fresh copies. It is interesting to note that President Hoover only owned an incomplete copy of the Agricola, lacking the second part. Ex Bibliotheca Mechanica. ❧ I. Darmstaedter, G.

MAESTRO F.G. ATTIVO 1530 -1570)
PAESAGGIO CON AMORINI E LEONI 1537
|
Bulino, 1537, datato e monogrammato in lastra in alto a sinistra. Da un soggetto di Raffaello. Magnifica prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, irregolarmente rifilata al rame, diverse abrasioni al verso perfettamente restaurate, tracce di colla al verso, per il resto in buono stato di conservazione. Il problema dell'identita' del Maestro FG non e' stato ancora oggi risolto. Herbet lo identifica come Francois Gentil, artista francese che risulta nel libro paga del castello di Fontainebleau, attribuendogli un gruppo di undici stampe nello stile di Domenico del Barbiere. La Biasini , nel saggio Le incisioni del Maestro FG italiano, lo collega a Guido Ruggeri, mentre la Boorsch lo identifica come Girolamo Fagiuoli, artista bolognese sconosciuto a Fontainebleau, che avrebbe riprodotto i disegni del Primaticcio al suo ritorno a Bologna, tra il 1541 ed il 1546. Girolamo Faccioli o Fagiuoli e' orafo, intagliatore di medaglie e bulinista attivo a Roma e Bologna tra il 1530 ed il 1572, anno della morte. Il Vasari lo nomina brevemente ed e' noto per avere inciso da soggetti di Perin del Vaga, Francesco Salviati e, sempre secondo Suzanne Boorsch, alcune delle opere in passato assegnate al Beatrizet sono invece ascrivibili oggi alla sua mano. Stefania Massari attribuisce al Fagiuoli anche la stampa da un soggetto di Raffaello denominata I vendemmiatori, monogrammata HFE che identifica come Hieronymus Fagiuolos Emilianus in accordo con il Nagler. Nello stile di questa opera da Raffaello riscontriamo molte somiglianze con l'opera che presentiamo, datata 1537 e sempre derivante da un disegno del maestro urbinate. Tuttavia la tecnica con il quale il Fagiuoli interpreta i vari artisti contrasta fortemente, tanto da non sembrare possibile l'attribuzione ad un solo intagliatore delle diverse opere, oppure ad una tale maestria nell'uso del bulino, che permetteva una duttilita' incredibile nell'interpretazione dei vari stili. Opera di grandissima rarita'. Engraving, 1537, dated and signed with monogram at upper. After a subject by Raphael. Magnificent work with beautiful shades, printed on contemporary laid paper without watermark, irregularly trimmed to the platemark, perfectly repaired abrasions on verso and signs of glue, otherwise in good condition. The problem concerning the identity of Mastef FG has not been solved yet. Herbert identifies him with Francois Gentil, a French artist mentioned also in the Fontainebleau salary register, ascribing to him also eleven prints realized in the style of Domenico del Barbiere. Biasini, in her essay Le incisioni del Maestro FG italiano, links the artist to Guido Ruggieri, while Boorsch identifies him as Girolamo Fagiuoli, a Bolognese artist who was not known in the Fontainebleau circle, who might have reproduced Primaticcio's drawings once back in Bologna between 1541 and 1546. Girolamo Facciuoli or Fagiuoli was a goldsmith, medal carver and engraver who worked in Rome and Bologna between 1530 and 1572, the year of his death. Vasari mentioned him for his engravings realized after subjects of Perin del Vega and Francesco Salviati; according to Suzanne Boorsch, some of the works that have been ascribed in the past to Beatrizet should be attributed to the Bolognese artist. Stefania Massari ascribes to Fagiuoli also the print realized after a subject of Raphael, called The Grape Gatherers, signed with HFE monogram which she interpreters as Hieronimus Fagiuolos Emilianus, according with Nagler. This print presents a lot of similiarities with the one we hereby introduce, dated 1537, which was as well realized after a drawing of the artist of Urbino. Nevertheless, the technique used by Fagiuoli to interpreter the different artists is extremely controversial, so that it seems nearly impossible to ascribe to just one engraver the realization of these different works. Or maybe he was such a skilled artist that he could change his style to interpreter the others'. A very rare w

Ohne Ort und Drucker, 1537 (hier: MXXXVII, also eigentlich 1037).. 8°. 192 Bll., mit Holzschnittportrait Agrippas auf dem Titel Hellbrauner Lederband des frühen 19. Jhs. mit Rückenvergoldung, goldgeprägtes, umrahmtes Monogramm "AB" auf beiden Deckeln sowie goldgepr. Innenkantenfileten. Index Aurel. 101.863; Vgl. Caillet 87; Rosenthal 12 ff.; Ackermann V, 736. Seltene und frühe Ausgabe des erstmals 1530 erschienenen, sehr erfolgreichen und häufig nachgedruckten Hauptwerkes von Agrippa (1486-1535), das grosses Aufsehen erregte, zu einem Ketzerprozess führte und schliesslich auch auf den Index kam. Agrippa verzeichnet in seiner Schmährede (der Untertitel lautet: "declamatio invectiva") systematisch Fehler und Irrtümer der verschiedensten Berufsgruppen und Institutionen, auch der Kirche. Das Werk gibt Kataloge bedeutender Erfindungen, die jedoch keinen wirklichen Fortschritt, sondern ein immer neues Irren dokumentieren. Durch diese Darstellung wird alles fragwürdig und nichtig, eitel, wie der Titel bereits ankündigt. Die Zusammenstellung ist jedoch zugleich auch nicht nur eine Satire, sondern ein regelrechtes Repertorium menschlicher Erfindungen und Entdeckungen, und als solches wurde es auch lange wie ein Nachschlagewerk genutzt. - Schönes Exemplar, gering gebräunt, wenig fleckig, Titel mit kleinen Vermerken.

In Venetia Per Frabncesco Marcolini Da Forli 1537 In-folio de LXXVIII ff. mal chiffrés LXXVI, exemplaire lavé, vélin, dos à nerfs, pièce de titre (reliure moderne). Edition originale illustrée des planches gravés par Agostino Veneziano. Titre encadré. « Premier des livres de Serlio à être publié, cet ouvrage qui traite de l'emploi des cinq ordres en architecture et dans l'ornementation, occupe la quatrième place dans le plan du traité d'architecture annoncé dans la préface. Le nom de l'auteur n'apparaît pas au titre. Dans la lettre à Francesco Marcolini placée en têt du volume, Pietro Aretino écrit à son imprimeur qu'il accepte volontiers que la publication de son recueil de lettres soit retardée de quelques mois à cause de la grande, la bella, e l'utile impressa de l'Architettura del Serlio mio compare. Pour cette édition, Serlio obtint un privilège de dix ans du Sénat de Venise, le 5 octobre 1537, c'est-à-dire alors que l'impression était déjà terminée - si l'on en croit le colophon » (Magali Vène). Brunet, V, 304 ; Fowler, 313 ; Magali Vène, Bibliographia serliana, Catalogue des éditions imprimées des livres du traité d'architecture de Sebastian Serlio, 01.
