CRABBE PETRUS
CONCILIA OMNIA TAM GENERALIA QUAM PARTICULARIA AB APOSTOLORUM TEMPORIBUS IN HUNC USQUE DIEM A SANCTISSIMIS PATRIBUS CELEBRATA & QUORUM ACTA LITERIS MANDATA, EX VETUSTISSIMIS DIVERSAE REGIONI(BUS) BIBLIOTHECIS HABERI POTUERE, HIS DUOBUS TOMIS CONTINEN. COLONIA PETRUS QUENTEL 1538
Due volumi in folio legati in pergamena, titolo ai tasselli ai dorsi, sguardie (exlibris calcografico incollato, scritte a pennino), magnifici frontespizi con amplissima cornice silografica figurata e molto movimentata, al piede stemmi dei piu importanti Stati, al verso, a mezza pagina, silografia di Carlo V Imperatore in trono, 15 carte non numerate, CCLXX carte numerate al primo volume (tracce di tarlo in alcuni quinterni, restaurare e che non incidono mai sul testo), al secondo tomo 13 carte non numerate, CXL e CLXXII carte numerate. Nella descrizione fisica non deve mancare l'accenno agli splendidi capilettera figurati. Per l'importanza dell'opera e' sufficiente citare che essa e' piu' volte richiamata da Lutero nei suoi scritti, che e' frutto della consultazione di codici di oltre 500 biblioteche da parte dell'estensore, che e' caposaldo per lo studio e la conoscenza dei Concili antichi fino all'inizio del XVI secolo. Inoltre la parte storica e di ricerca e' preponderante sulla parte prettamente agiografica. Opera essenziale e diuturnamente consultata, la copia che si presenta, completa e collazionata, e' lievemente brunita e lamenta qualche pur lieve traccia di gora ed arrossature. La carta e' greve e solida, le tracce di tarlo son state restaurate. In definitiva volumi in piu' che buono stato e di importanza capitale nella storiografia conciliare.

Eckabriss, S. 43 mit Einriss im unteren weißen Rand, ohne das letzte weiße Blatt). (K 014936) Zur Geschichte Böhmens; 1458 unmittelbar vor der Wahl Enea Silvios zum Papst (als Pius II.) verfasst und zuerst 1475 gedruckt. Der gewandte Humanist und Diplomat Enea Silvio stand seit 1442 im Dienste Kaiser Friedrichs III. und kannte Böhmen aus eigener Anschauung.- U.a. zur böhmischen Ketzergeschichte, über Jan Hus, Jan Ziska, die Hussitenkriege, die Verhandlungen des Basler Konzils mit dem gemäßigten Flügel der Hussiten etc. "Aeneas Sylvius' Werke haben durch den Kultus der antiken rhetorischen Form keinen Schaden gelitten. Seine feuilletonistische Begabung blieb nicht totes Kapital. Was er erlebt und beobachtet hatte, machte er unbedenklich für die Geschichte fruchtbar. Und was hatte dieser internationale politische Agent nicht alles gesehen! Keiner konnte so anschaulich aus seinen Erinnerungen erzählen, keiner wußte über so mannigfache Dinge Bescheid Freilich tiefer als die andern drang er deshalb kaum ein" (Fueter 117).- Seltener Solinger Frühdruck; Johann Soter betrieb hier seit 1537 die erste Presse.

Darstellung und Rechtfertigung der Position Albrecht von Brandenburgs in der sogenannten Schenitz-Affäre, verfaßt von Philipp von Mansfeld. Die Affäre um den Hallenser Kaufmann und kurfürstlichen Brandenburgischen Hoflieferanten Hans Schenitz (1499-1535) ist einer der frühesten in dieser Ausführlichkeit dokumentierten Fälle von Wirtschaftskriminalität: Hans Schenitz hatte seit 1521 Waren auf Kredit gekauft, um sie dann an das Haus Brandenburg weiterzuverkaufen. Schließlich wurde er wegen Unregelmäßigkeiten bei der Rückzahlung seiner Kredite und Veruntreuung der bezogenen Waren angeklagt und 1535 zum Tode durch Erhängen verurteilt. Die vorliegende Schrift bezieht sich auf die im selben Jahr erschienene Verteidigungsschrift seines Bruder Anton Schenitz. - Sauber und fleckenfrei. - VD 16, M 122. Vgl. Hohenemser 1952.

CRESCENTIIS, PETRUS DE.
DE AGRICULTURA, OMNIBUSQUE PLANTARUM, & ANIMALIUM GENERIBUS, LIBRI XII. BASEL, H. PETRI, 1538, AUGUST.
4to. Contemporary blindstamped vellum, red painted edges. Woodcut printer's device on title and on verso of the last leaf. (38), 564 (=574), (2) pp. The best work on agriculture written in the Middle Ages, by Petrus Crescentiis (Bologna 1230-1320). Modelled on classical authors on the same subject - such as Cato, Varro and Columellus - but with many first hand observations and experiences added by Crescentiis, the work has had a great impact, first in Italy itself, later also through the whole of Europe. The first edition was published as early as 1471 at Augsburg, Germany and at the same time also at Strassbourg, both editions under the title Opus ruralium commodorum. These editions being very rare, the present Basel edition from 1538 is the best known, forming the basis for all later editions. Pritzel 1966; VD 16, P 1831 (3 copies); Nouv. Biogr. Univ., 11 (1855), col. 430-32; cf. Hunt 58 (ed. 1548); not in Nissen. [Bookseller: Antiquariaat FORUM BV - 't Goy-Houten - ]

Eucharius Cervicornus for Gottfried Hittorp, Cologne 1538 Contemporary blind tooled calf over wooden boards, rebacked and without clasps 8vo . FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION and second appearance of the text (1st: 1534, Ingolstadt) of this collection of sermons by this important figure from the Reformation period. Johannes Eck (1486-1543), from his position at the University of Ingolstadt, ". conducted the lifelong, vigorous and often vituperative campaign against Luther for which he is best remembered. . Eck was quickly recognized as a leading champion of the Catholic use . His tireless efforts in writing, disputation, and church politics made him the best known opponent of the Reformation in Germany" (Contemporaries of Erasmus I, p. 417). He and Erasmus, to put very mildly, had very poor relations as he had with many of the humanists of the period. The present work includes a substantial work (30 pages) against the Turkish threat with references to a successful battle fought by the Emperor which was originally published in 1532 (p. 966-999: "Sperandam esse in brevi victoriamm adversus Turcam, . Anno M.D.XXXII"). It is in Göllner, Turcica, no. 430 which, however, makes no reference to this edition or any later editions. The work is illustrated with nineteen handsome unsigned text woodcuts. A very nice copy in its original blind stamped binding. The work is very rare with OCLC locating only microfilm copies and notes one hard copy but with no location (probably this copy = Colgate-Rochester Library) and none of the first [32], 1007 pp. With 19 Text woodcuts. Several early owner's inscriptions on title-page. Some minor dampstains, mostly marginal. § VD 16, E296; B. Walde, Johannes Eck, 79 III (2); not in Adams or BL/STC German. [Bookseller: Jeffrey D.

CRESCENTIIS, Petrus de.
Influential work on agriculture De agricultura, omnibusque plantarum, & animalium generibus, libri XII.
Basel, H. Petri, 1538, August. 4to. Contemporary blindstamped vellum, red painted edges. Woodcut printer's device on title and on verso of the last leaf. (38), 564 (=574), (2) pp. The best work on agriculture written in the Middle Ages, by Petrus Crescentiis (Bologna 1230-1320). Modelled on classical authors on the same subject - such as Cato, Varro and Columellus - but with many first hand observations and experiences added by Crescentiis, the work has had a great impact, first in Italy itself, later also through the whole of Europe. The first edition was published as early as 1471 at Augsburg, Germany and at the same time also at Strassbourg, both editions under the title Opus ruralium commodorum. These editions being very rare, the present Basel edition from 1538 is the best known, forming the basis for all later editions. Pritzel 1966; VD 16, P 1831 (3 copies); Nouv. Biogr. Univ., 11 (1855), col. 430-32; cf. Hunt 58 (ed. 1548); not in Nissen. [Bookseller: Antiquariaat FORUM BV]

Castellanum Nicæum Xeniorum libellus. Paris: apud Sim. Colinæum, 1538. 48, (4) leaves (foliated). Two vols. in one, 16mo, full black morocco antique, spine and inner dentelles gilt, a.e.g. First editions. Two major works by an important Neolatin poet of the French Renaissance, about whom little is know beyond what is revealed in his poems, and the fact that he was murdered by an apothecary, with whom he had a quarrel, in 1542, at the age of 32. Among the hendecasyllabic poems are verses addressed to Jean Grolier, Charles Estienne, and Marguerite de Valois. Two poems, "To an Impious Follower of Lucian" and "To Lucian's Ape," were once thought to have been addressed to Rabelais, but more recent scholarship has identified the addressee as the controversial scholar-printer Etienne Dolet, with whom Visagier had an ongoing dispute. The first part of the second work consists of miscellaneous poems to such prominent figures as Oronce Fine, Lazare de Baif, and Jean Salmon (Macrinus); the second part ("Xenia") had first appeared in Lyon a year earlier. The preface contains a tribute to the printer Simon de Coline, who is described as "nobilissimorum typographorum diligentissimo ac solertissimo" (i.e. "the most accurate and skillful among the most distinguished printers"). These two works are sometimes found, as here, bound together, but not inevitably; the NUC (under Jean Voulté) lists five copies of the first (MH, NjP, ICU, ICN, DFo) and three of the second (MH, DFo, NjP). First title-page within an architectural border (old repair to the blank margin on the verso); the second title-page contains the first appearance of Colines's "Tempus" device, and a colophon leaf is present at the end. Signature of Fourquier(?) on the first title-page, dated 1557. A few headlines slightly shaved, but generally in excellent condition, in an attractive recent binding.

Eiusdem interpretatio in L.Bona fides.ff.Depositi. His accessit Index rerum ac vocum huius operis copiosissimus. Lyon, Apud Sebastianum Gryphium, 1538. Folio. Halbpergamentband des 18. Jahrhunderts mit Buntpapier als Überzug mit drei durchgezogenen Bünden. Kollation: Titelblatt mit Druckersignet, 316, (10) Spalten. ¶ 2. Exemplar in Reprint: H.24.VICO. Index Aureliensis: 102.915. München SB (J.rom.m3e, & ö.) auch in: Paris BN & Washington LC. Altenburg Signatur: C.128. Pergamentband mit fünf durchgezogenen Bünden mit Deckelprägung: M. T. S. 1618. Andreas Alciatus (1492 - 1550), berühmter italienischer Jurist, gilt als Begründer der vom Humanismus geprägten Rechtswissenschaft. Der Ruhm von Andreas Alciatus, der sich bis heute durch alle Epochen der Rechtswissenschaft erhalten hat, gründet sich weniger in den rechts- dogmatischen Fortschritten, die von seiner Lehre und Forschung ausgegangen sind, sondern vielmehr von den rechtsmethodischen und auch philologischen Impulsen, die aus seinem Denken und Arbeiten hervorgegangen sind. Alciatus war der erste Gelehrte im lateinischen Raum, der nach vorzüglicher Ausbildung in lateinischer und griechischer Philologie und Geschichte Jurist wurde und bei diesem Fache blieb. So war denn Andreas Alciatus zunächst bekannt durch die philologisch ausgezeichneten Arbeiten in den ersten Jahren seiner Publikationstätigkeit. Von Mailand aus, wo er als Anwalt in den Jahren 1515 bis 1518 tätig war, schrieb er eine Reihe von Schriften, die die ganze Gelehrtenwelt auf ihn aufmerksam werden ließ. Sogar Ulrich Zasius schickte aufgrund dieser literarischen Zeugnisse seinen besten Schüler, Johannes Amerbach, nach Avignon, wohin Andreas Alciatus im Jahre 1520 einen Ruf erhalten hatte. Aber erst im Jahre 1530, mit Alciatus' triumphalen Lehrerfolgen an der Universität zu Bourges, wird aus dem literarischen Ereignis eine Angelegenheit auch aller Universitäten in ganz Europa. Doch die unglaubliche Bewunderung, die noch heute gegenüber Alciatus zu spüren ist, erklärt sich auch zu großen Teilen aus seiner schillernden Persönlichkeit. Mittels seines uns erhaltenen Briefwechsels mit vielen Gelehrten Europas und aus seinem literarischen Nachlaß, sowie aus den Berichten seiner Zeitgenossen erkennen wir den hochgebildeten, äußerst selbstbewußten, sehr klugen, bisweilen auch sehr listigen Gelehrten. Darüberhinaus sind auch die Advokaten ihm zu Dank verpflichtet, denn er hat bei den Juristen und dem sie verpflichtenden Mandanten das Honorarwesen eingeführt. Kein Jurist vermochte so geschickt sein Wissen, seine Wirkung und seinen Erfolg in bares Geld umzusetzen. In den Jahren 1530 bis 1533 war er an der Reformuniversität in Bourges tätig. Seitdem gilt er innerhalb der Rechtsgeschichte als der große Reformjurist des 16. Jahrhunderts. Auch innerhalb dieser Bibliothek steht Alciatus als der geistige Vater der neuen Rechtsmethode, des sogenannten "mos gallicus". Die protestantischen Juristen haben Alciatus als einen Vorreiter dieser Rechtsmethode angesehen, so ist auch seine weite Verbreitung in Mittel- und Ostdeutschland zu erklären. Andreas Alciatus war aber keinesfalls so reformfreudig, wie dies die Rechtsgeschichte uns lehrt. Selbst in Bourges, wo er die größten Lehrerfolge feierte, war er stets bemüht, seine Lehrinhalte und auch seine Publikationen so auszurichten, daß eine Rückkehr in das katholische Italien und an die Universitäten des mos italicus jederzeit möglich war. Die hier vorliegende Schrift: De rebus creditis (D.12.1) hat Alciatus an der Universität zu Pavia im Jahre 1536 abgehalten. Sie ist in Inhalt und Aufbau keineswegs dem mos gallicus nachgeschrieben. Jedoch die Ablösung von den großen, umfassenden Kommentaren zu den Digesten hin zu den kleinen exegetischen und exemplarischen Interpretationen von Digestenstellen ist auch hier nachvollziehbar. Seit Andreas Alciatus lernt der Jurist nicht den gesamten Rechtsstoff zu erfassen, sondern im exemplarischen Lernen methodisch vorzugehen, um mit einer eingeübten exegetischen und methodischen Grundausstattung sich jederzeit in andere Materien einarbeiten zu können.

Kl.-4to (192 x 147 mm). Mit halbseitigem Titelholzschnitt (Badeszene), 4 (zwei je einmal wiederholten) ganzeitigen Holzschnitten.(Aderlassmann und Zodiakfigur) und ganszeitiger Holzschnitt-Druckermarke auf Schlussblatt verso. [4] Bl., XXVIII S. Pergamentband des frühen 19. Jhs. Gedruckt zu Strassburg bei M. Jacob Cammerlander von Menz, (um 1538). Erstausgabe, in einer bibliographisch unbekannten Variante mit insgesamt fünf (davon zwei wiederholten) Holzschnitten. Der seit 1531 in Strassburg wirkende, aus Mainz stammende Drucker/Verleger Jakob Cammerlander kompilierte sein medizinisch-balneologisch-astrologisches Werk aus Schriften der "berühmtesten Aerzten und gewissen Erfarnussen Otthonis Brunfelsii" (Vorwort). Der erste Teil handelt ausführlich über das Gesamtgebiet des Aderlasses, wobei hauptsächlich die alten arabischen Aerzte zu Worte kommen. Der zweite Abschnitt enthält Baderegeln allgemeiner Natur sowie eine Anzahl von Vorschriften zur Herstellung und Anwendug von Kräuterbädern, darunter auch Angaben zur Zubereitung eines künstlichen Wildbades. "Als sprachliche Eigentümlichkeit sei hervorgehoben, dass der lebende menschliche Körper stets als Leichnam bezeichnet wird" (Alfred Schmidt). Als Urheber der eindrucksvollen Holzschnitte vermutet Alfred Schmidt ebenfalls Cammerlander, der nach Nagler (Monogrammisten Bd. I) auch als Formschneider wirkte. Der halbseitige Titelholzschnitt stellt mit dem Sitz-, dem Voll- und dem Schwitzbad die drei wichtigsten Badarten dar. Die beiden ganzseitigen, schwarz eingefassten Holzschnitte (je einmal wiederholt) zeigen die Sternzeichenfigur sowie die Aderlassfigur. - Minimal gebräunt, letzte drei Schlussblätter schwach wasserrandig, ein sehr gutes und breitrandiges Exemplar.

Jhs., in: Der Schweizer Sammler IV (1930), S. 79, Nr. 5 (mit Abb. auf S. 81). First edition, unknown variant with five woodcuts, including title woodcut and two full-page cuts (each once repeated). The printer and publisher Jacob Cammerlander was born at Mayence and worked since 1531 in Strasbourg. According the preface he compilated this medical-balneological-astrological text from works of famous phyisicians and certain practical knowledge ("gewissen Erfarnussen") of Otto Brunfels. The first part deals in detail with venesection, citing Arab authors in particular. The second part offers general bathing rules plus recipes for preparation of bathings. "As a linguistic characteristic we note that the living human body always is denominated as corpse" (translated after Alfred Schmidt). Schmidt also assumes that the woodcuts were cut by Cammerlander who according to Nagler also worked as xylographer. The half-page woodcut on title depicts the three chief bathings, the two (repeated) full-page woodcuts show the zodiac figure and the blood-letting man. - Minimal browning, light waterstain in last three leaves, a well-preserved copy with wide-margins. - 19th century vellum.

Eucharius Cervicornus for Gottfried Hittorp Cologne 1538 Contemporary blind tooled calf over woodenboards, rebacked and without clasps 8vo . FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION and second appearance of the text (1st: 1534, Ingolstadt) of this collection of sermons by this important figure from the Reformation period. Johannes Eck (1486-1543), from his position at the University of Ingolstadt, "... conducted the lifelong, vigorous and often vituperative campaign against Luther for which he is best remembered. ... Eck was quickly recognized as a leading champion of the Catholic use ... His tireless efforts in writing, disputation, and church politics made him the best known opponent of the Reformation in Germany" (Contemporaries of Erasmus I, p. 417). He and Erasmus, to put very mildly, had very poor relations as he had with many of the humanists of the period. The present work includes a substantial work (30 pages) against the Turkish threat with references to a successful battle fought by the Emperor which was originally published in 1532 (p. 966-999: "Sperandam esse in brevi victoriamm adversus Turcam, ... Anno M.D.XXXII"). It is in Göllner, Turcica, no. 430 which, however, makes no reference to this edition or any later editions. The work is illustrated with nineteen handsome unsigned text woodcuts. A very nice copy in its original blind stamped binding. The work is very rare with OCLC locating only microfilm copies and notes one hard copy but with no location (probably this copy = Colgate-Rochester Library) and none of the first [32], 1007 pp. With 19 Text woodcuts. Several early owner's inscriptions on title-page. Some minor dampstains, mostly marginal. § VD 16, E296; B. Walde, Johannes Eck, 79 III (2); not in Adams or BL/STC German [Bookseller: Jeffrey D.

Yahya, Yoseph ben David ibn (1494-1534).
(Perus Hammes Megillot).
Bologna, per mano dei soci, 1538. "In-folio (mm 295x203). 40 carte numerate, 122 carte numerate 121. Le parole iniziali di ogni capitolo sono racchiuse in una cornice silografica ornata. Legatura moderna in pieno marocchino rosso, titolo in oro al dorso. Esemplare in discreto stato di conservazione, tracce di umidità in tutto il volume, gli angoli inferiori delle ultime carte usurati; copia mutila del frontespizio, riprodotto in xerocopia; alcune carte mutuate da un altro esemplare, meno marginoso. Al recto dell’ultima carta sottoscrizione del censore: “Revisus per me Laurentium Ffranguellum, 1575”. Timbri: ‘from the Library of Max Septimus’ e ‘Cosman Werner Bibliothek, Munchen’. Prima edizione di questo commento ai “Cinque rotoli” (Hammeš Megillot costituiti da: libro di Ruth, Cantico dei Cantici, Qohelet, Lamentazioni e Libro di Ester), ai Salmi, ai Proverbi e ai libri storici (Giobbe, Daniele, Esdra e Neemia). Si tratta del settimo dei nove volumi editi dalla Congregazione ebraica dei tessitori di seta di Bologna. L’autore, noto per il suo commento al Pentateuco intitolato Torah Or, era originario di una famiglia ispano-portoghese che fu costretta a lasciare il paese d’origine e a rifugiarsi in Italia a causa del rifiuto a convertirsi al cristianesimo. Il pensiero di questo autore rappresenta una severa eccezione alla filosofia razionalista e all’universalismo del Maimonide e si avvicina invece alla dottrina dell’”elezione” del popolo ebraico sostenuta da Yehudah Halevi. Proprio per questo motivo l’intera opera dello Yahya fu pesantemente sottoposta al vaglio della censura: il figlio Ghedalyah narra infatti che, subito dopo la morte del padre, i censori ecclesiastici diedero alle fiamme tutti i suoi manoscritti ancora inediti.
