Appian of Alexandria
Delle Guerre Esterne
      Venice Pietro di Nicolini da Sabbio, 1538. 8vo. (6 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches), late 17th or early 18th century vellum over stiff boards with a red morocco title label; edges stained yellow. A few early marginal notes in brown ink; a very nice copy.#11;#11;Title-page with a large woodcut historiated border, the book!s 191 foliated leaves are nicely printed in italic type by Paolo Manuzio, whose name is absent from the volume. The Aldine Press had closed in 1529, upon the death of Andrea Torresano, and was subsequently reopened by Paolo Manuzio in 1533 who managed it for the heirs of Aldus and Torresano until 1540, when the heirs of Torresano began printing on their own, and the Aldine shop resumed printing under their own imprint: Aldi Filli. During the period 1533-1540 editions were issued using the imprint: Heirs of Also Manuzio & Andrea Torresano. In addition, they occasionally printed books, sometimes unsigned, for other printers and publishers, as here.#11;#11;The text of Delle Guerre Esterne was translated into Italian by Alessandro Braccio. Appian of Alexandria lived during the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian and Antonius Pius. He had an active political career and in retirement he turned to writing history, completing a history of Rome in 24 volumes (of which nine volumes survive complete, seven others in fragments). He is best known for his observations of military matters. #11;#11;An uncommon Aldine edition anonymously printed during the interregnum of the great house.#11;#11;See: Renouard. p. 116 no. 3.

TERENTIUS AFER, PUBLIUS
Habes hic amice lector P. Terentii Comcedias, vna cvm scholiis ex Donati, Asperi, et Cornvti commentariis decerptis, multo quam antehac unquam prodierunt emendatiores, nisi quod in [heautontimoroumenon] scripsit! Io. Calphvrnivs! Indicata
      Basileae, 1538. Folio, pp. [28], 398 (i.e. 389), [11]; woodcut printer's device on title and colophon, numerous woodcut initials throughout; full 18th century calf, gilt-decorated spine, the initials of an early owner ("M.S.J.S.R.") in the third compartment, edges stained red; S2 bound before S3; a very good, sound copy. An early edition of Erasmus's edition of Terence's plays. Compared to Erasmus's own writings, "of almost equal importance for the history of humanism and education are the editions he prepared of the classical authors! They were of two kinds: editions of the text itself, usually with a commentary; and, in the case of the Greek authors, translations into Latin. These editions had wide circulation and served to open the ancient world to a far broader public than had access to it before" (Houghton Library, Erasmus on the 500th Anniversary of his Birth, 42a). The first Erasmus edition was printed in 1532 and was subsequently printed no less than 40 times during the 16th and 17th centuries. With commentaries by Aelius Donatus, Aemilius Asper, Lucius Annaeus Cornutus, and Giovanni Calfurino. Yale, Michigan, and NC only in OCLC.

(Bound with) II: Justinian / Fuchsperger, Ortolf. Justinianischer Instituten warhaffte dolmetschung [.]. (Augsburg, Alexander Weissenhorn), 1538. (8), XCI [91], (9), XIII [13], (1) ff.

(Mainz, Ivo Schöffer, 10 June 1535). (6), XXXV [but: 39] ff. (wants last blank). With two-part title woodcut, large woodcut initial, half-page woodcut in the text, and woodcut printer's device on last page. Contemp. blindstamped auburn calf on wooden boards. Remains of clasps. Fine legal sammelband containing three German works of the Renaissance: Gobler's formulary; the "Institutiones" of Justinian; and the Constitutio Carolina. I: Rare second edition of one of the earliest German formularies (first published by Egenolff in 1536). "Der zweyte Theil (de actionibus) ist aus dem Klagspiegel abgeschrieben" (Stintzing). The fine title vignette by Hans Sebald Beham depicts a Renaissance courtroom. - II: Third printing of the second German translation of the "Institutiones" (first printed in 1536). This had been preceded by Thomas Murner's translation (Basel 1519), which was literally correct but often missed the meaning and therefore was replaced by the translations of Gobler and - in the 17th century - Ortolph Fuchsberger (cf. Kaspers 104). This present edition contains a 28-page appendix "Der Rechten Regulae Iuris Civilis" (by Murner) not present in earlier printings. - III: Fourth official edition of the so-called "Carolina", the first and only criminal code of the Empire, and the basis of all later common German criminal law (cf. Kaspers). The two-part title woodcut shows the execution grounds; the preface is followed by a portrait of Maximilian with a sword and a book. - Attractive blindstamped binding with four roll-tooled borders (all unrecorded by Haebler).

MACROBIUS Ambrosius Aurelius Theodosius A. A. T. MACROBE
In sommium Scipionis lib. II. Saturnaliorum, lib. VII.
      Nouvelle edition. La premiere parue chez Sebastien Gryphe semble etre celle de 1538. Marque de l'imprimeur sur la page de titre, et 7 vignettes dans le premier texte : Le songe de Scipion, dont une curieuse mappemonde qui divise le monde en zones climatiques. Impression en Miuscules Italiques. §Plein Velin d'epoque. Dos lisse avec titre a la plume noire. Page de titre doublee en marge. Un manque comble en marge du feuillet 17, rendant illisible la note. Hormis ces quelques defauts, bon exemplaire, tres frais. §Les deux textes reunis dans cette edition constituent les Å“uvres majeures de Macrobius, lequel vivait vers l'an 400 et dont on sait peu de chose sinon qu'il etait un philosophe neoplatonicien et stoicien oppose au christianisme de plus en plus repandu. L'idee du songe de Scipion est extraite de la republique de Ciceron dans laquelle celui-ci attribue un reve au jeune Scipion ou se deroule une conversation entre les heros decedes de la Republique, et notamment son pere et son grand-pere. L'ouvrage est constitue des commentaires de Macrobius, notamment sur la constitution de l'univers. Le deuxieme texte refere aux Saturnales, journees de fetes pour les romains , Macrobius y relate les discussions tenues dans la demeure de Vettius Praetextatus, l'auteur y traite de differents sujets, mythologiques et astronomiques, medicaux, citant de nombreux textes anciens. Ce livre est demeure une source importante quant a la datation de nombreux textes disparus, et surtout, il constituera un modele pour le XVIe siecle qui imitera abondamment cette facon d'exposer la science.

Beccadelli, Antonio, gen.:). Antonio Panormita.
De dictis et factis Alphonsi regis Aragonum libri quatuor. 4 Bl., 278 (recte 290) S., 1 Bl. Mit 2 Druckermarken. 4°. Flexibles Pergament d. Z. (aufgebogen, Bindebänder erneuert).
      Basel, Johannes Herwagen und Johannes Erasmius Froben, 1538. - Wichtige zweite Ausgabe der ersten neuzeitlichen Apophthegmensammlung, die 1485 noch ohne die Kommentare erschienen war. Hier nun erstmals mit den Anmerkungen des Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini sowie den Scholien des Humanisten Jacob Spiegel (ca. 1483-1544), einem Neffen Wimphelings aus Schlettstadt. Der Dichter Antonio Beccadelli (1393-1471), bekannt vor allem für sein erotisches und öffentlich verbranntes Werk "Hermaphroditus", war Berater des humanistisch interessierten Königs Alphons von Neapel. Die vorliegende Sammlung kurzer Anekdoten, die stets auf einen klugen Ausspruch zulaufen, sollen zum einen ein Denkmal für Alphons schaffen, gleichzeitig aber auch moralphilosophisch Beispiel geben und belehren. Durch die Erklärungen Spiegels, der oft ähnliche Aphorismen deutscher Herrscher wie Kaiser Friedrichs III. hinzufügt, wird diese Ausgabe gewissermaßen zur ersten deutschen Apophtegmensammlung (vgl. Verweyen, Theodor. Apophthegma und Scherzrede: die Geschichte einer einfachen Gattungsform und ihrer Entfaltung im 17. Jahrhundert. Bad Homburg 1970). – Kaum gebräuntes frisches Exemplar. – VD 16, B 1315. Adams B 428.

Terentius Afer Publius
Comedie Di Terentio nuovamente di latino in volgare tradotte. Al colophon: Finiscono le Comedie di Terentio, stampate in Venetia per maestro Bernardino Vidale, ad instantia di m. Iacob da Borgofrancho, del mese di luglio, 1533.
      - In 8, [mm. 200 x 146], cc. 171 - (1). Legatura coeva in cuoio con ricca decorazione impressa a secco ai piatti incorniciati da filetti lisci che comprendono una fascia ad elementi vegetali con foglie e verso il centro una fascia più piccola a trattini. Campo centrale liscio. Dorso a cinque nervi doppi con scomparti decorati da sottili linee incise. L’ultimo da piccoli rombi. Titolo scritto in oro su fondo nero.Mancanze ai quattro angoli e strappo alla copertina anteriore in conseguenza della mancanza dello scomparto inferiore. Cuffia superiore mancante. Lavoro di tarlo al margine bianco delle carte 2-29 che appena lambisce alcune lettere. Per il resto esemplare con buoni margini su carta forte. Al risguardo anteriore antico disegno ad inchiostro di un’arma nobiliare con sentenza latina: Quod patientia scritta con calligrafia antica. Altra breve annotazione a quello posteriore. Numero scritto al margine superiore del frontespizio. Il bel frontespizio xilografato presenta una ricca cornice architettonica con leoni alati con corone di foglie sulla testa che sostengono due cariatidi che tengono il campo centrale delimitato da tre cornici decorate dov’è scritto il titolo; le cariatidi sostengono a loro volta delle grandi colonne composite terminanti in un vaso da cui escono fiamme. Alle spalle dei due leoni alati, entro una cornice ad ovoli una vignetta raffigura un puttino alato appoggiato ad un albero. La grande cornice è sormontata da due riccioli affrontati che sostengono due uccelli ad ali aperte che stringono nel becco un piccolo festone dal quale pendono degli elementi decorativi che termina su di un ventaglio centrale che spunta dal centro dei riccioli. All’ultima carta bianca marca tipografica xilografica raffigurante, entro campo rettangolare con fregi vegetali agli angoli, due donne che guardano verso l’esterno e sostengono, l’una con la mano destra e l’altra con la sinistra uno scudo. Quella sulla destra che ha in mano un calice raffigura la Fede, dall’altra parte quella che sostiene nella mano sinistra un’ancora e tiene lo scudo con la destra raffigura la Speranza. Al centro dello scudo ci sono le iniziali I.A.D.P.B.F. legate fra loro e sormontate dalla croce; la A sormonta una stella. Al di sopra del bordo della vignetta il motto Sustine et Abstine, in basso invece in lettere greche Anéchou kaì apèchou. (La marca sembra essere una variante di quella EDIT XVI marca V379 - Z745 - A112 che presenta invece le lettere greche scritte in maiuscola e prive di accenti). Si tratta della prima edizione delle sei commedie scritte da Terenzio (Andria, Eunuchus, Heautontimorumenos, Adelphoe, Hecyra, Phormio) dedicate dal traduttore Giovan Battista da Borgofrancho a Benedetto Curzio, patrizio di Pavia ed oratore del Duca di Milano Francesco Sforza presso il Senato veneto. L’editore dell’opera, Giacomo Pocatela che nelle opere stampate si indica oltre che come Iacob da Borgofrancho anche come Iacob de Paucisdrapis o Iacob Paucidrapensis de Burgofranco, fu editore, tipografo e bidello all’università di Pavia dove operò anche in società con Filippo Mantegazza, a Venezia invece lavorò con Lucantonio Giunta il vecchio. Ebbe due figli Agostino che fu libraio per i Giunta a Palermo e Giovanni Battista che gli successe nella tipografia alla sua morte avvenuta nel 1538 o nell’anno seguente e che è anche l’autore di questa traduzione.HAYM 339/11; BRUNET V 723; GRAESSE VII 67.

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.

(Beccadelli, Antonio, gen.:). Antonio Panormita.
De dictis et factis Alphonsi regis Aragonum libri quatuor. 4 Bl., 278 (recte 290) S., 1 Bl. Mit 2 Druckermarken. 4°. Flexibles Pergament d. Z. (aufgebogen, Bindebänder erneuert).
      Basel, Johannes Herwagen und Johannes Erasmius Froben, 1538.. . Wichtige zweite Ausgabe der ersten neuzeitlichen Apophthegmensammlung, die 1485 noch ohne die Kommentare erschienen war. Hier nun erstmals mit den Anmerkungen des Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini sowie den Scholien des Humanisten Jacob Spiegel (ca. 1483-1544), einem Neffen Wimphelings aus Schlettstadt. Der Dichter Antonio Beccadelli (1393-1471), bekannt vor allem für sein erotisches und öffentlich verbranntes Werk "Hermaphroditus", war Berater des humanistisch interessierten Königs Alphons von Neapel. Die vorliegende Sammlung kurzer Anekdoten, die stets auf einen klugen Ausspruch zulaufen, sollen zum einen ein Denkmal für Alphons schaffen, gleichzeitig aber auch moralphilosophisch Beispiel geben und belehren. Durch die Erklärungen Spiegels, der oft ähnliche Aphorismen deutscher Herrscher wie Kaiser Friedrichs III. hinzufügt, wird diese Ausgabe gewissermaßen zur ersten deutschen Apophtegmensammlung (vgl. Verweyen, Theodor. Apophthegma und Scherzrede: die Geschichte einer einfachen Gattungsform und ihrer Entfaltung im 17. Jahrhundert. Bad Homburg 1970). - Kaum gebräuntes frisches Exemplar. - VD 16, B 1315. Adams B 428.

Spiegel, Jakob (Jacobus)

      1538. Spiegel, Jakob (Jacobus) [1483-c.1547]. [Hegendorf, Cristoph (1500-1540)]. Iuris Civilis Lexicon ex Variis Probatorum Autorum Commentariis Congestum. Strassburg: Io. Schottus Execudebat, 1538. [340], 54, [58] pp. Text printed in double columns. Folio (8-1/4" x 13-1/2"). Contemporary vellum dyed to look like calf, raised bands and lettering piece to spine, endpapers renewed at some point. Light rubbing to extremities, corners and spine ends bumped, front joint cracked but secure, rear joint starting, rear free endpaper loose. Attractive woodcut decorated initials, dedication printed within ornate woodcut architectural border. Toning, light browning in a few places, occasional faint dampstaining to margins. Early annotations to title page and a few leaves. A handsome copy of a scarce edition. * First edition. With indexes. Spiegel was a lawyer, a privy counselor to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and a notable humanist scholar who corresponded with Erasmus. The Lexicon Iuris Civilis, a dictionary of terms in Roman law, is his most important work. It was issued 12 times; the first edition was published in 1538, the final edition in 1577. The entries are rather brief, ranging from a sentence to a few paragraphs, and they contain references to examples in the Roman juristic literature. The part comprising 54 numbered pages, "In Tit. C. Iustiniani, Christophori Hegendorphini Exegeses, " is Spiegel's exegesis of sections of the Code, the Twelve Tables and other topics in Roman law with added commentary (exegesis) by Hegendorf. OCLC locates 2 copies of this edition in North America, one at the Library of Congress, another at the University of Pennsylvania.

      Parisiis, 1538. Octavo, ff. [14], 249 (without final blank); title within decorative engraved border incorporating the monogram of Francis I and the mark of Geofroy Tory; 15 large and 6 small decorative initials (probably by Geofroy Tory of Bourges; cf. Updike, Printing Types, I, 197) throughout text; full contemporary vellum, stained, with overlapping fore-edges, paper label in manuscript adhered to lower spine; the front joint and hinge cracked through, the covers stamped in blind "Mercantile Library" (Philadelphia) and with bookplates from the same on front and back pastedowns, 19th-c. type specimen also mounted to front pastedown, presentation inscription in ink, in Latin and English, from a James Hallahan to the Mercantile Library on ffep, and 3 owners' names on title-p. (one quite early); pages lightly browned and cockled, a few marginal chips and short tears, the odd letter lost, and occasional old marginalia and underlining. Valla (ca. 1407-57) was an Italian scholar, humanist and philosopher, not unfamiliar with controversy, who was chosen by Pope Nicholas V to translate the classical texts of Herodotus and Thucydides into Latin. His masterwork is De lingvae latinae elegantia (1444) "a brilliant philological defense of classical Latin in which he contrasted the elegance of the ancient Romans' works!especially those of Cicero and Quintilian!with the clumsiness of medieval and Church Latin" (Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed., 2006). Immensely popular as a textbook. this title went through at least 60 editions before 1536. This example is pure Colines: it is printed in his characteristic roman type, with shouldernotes and some instances for the clear Greek font for which he is also known. Another bookseller has noted that "the typography and overall design are characteristic of the use of Italianate elements with French restraint that accounts for the elegance of Colines's work."

Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges:]
Pragmatica Sanctio studiosis utilissima, cum Concordatis.
      [Lyon: sumptibus honesti viri Antonii Vincentii.] 1538. - 2 vols. in 1, 8vo., ff. clxii [liv], xxi [vii]. Title page in red and black, printed in blackletter throughout. Some browning. Early limp vellum, spine lettered vertically in ink, long sides overlapping, four later ties, front cover and ties sometime dyed yellow, lower pastedown torn. Ink inscription dated 1660 and some later pencil notes to f.f.e.p. The Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges, made in 1438 by King Charles VII of France, effectively declared administrative independence from Rome for the French Catholic church. It instituted a General Church Council superior to the Pope, to be held every ten years, and blocked papal involvement with the appointment of French prelates, among other reforms. Papal power at the time was weak (cf. the Council of Basel, later Florence), but later popes tried to have the Sanction repealed, and eventually in 1516 the Concordat of Bologna largely superseded it. However, it remained an important text for the developing Gallican Church, and in the centennial year of the original Sanction this edition, incorporating earlier commentary by Cosme Guymier, was printed in Lyon. It is rare in the UK: COPAC locates two copies in Oxford and one in Edinburgh only. Not in Adams. [Attributes: Signed Copy]

      Gedruckt zu Strassburg bei M. Jacob Cammerlander von Menz, (um 1538). - 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. 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 Schmid). Als Urheber der eindrucksvollen Holzschnitte vermutet 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. Benzing, Cammerlander, 6; VD 16, C-602; Durling 3335 (unter Newe); Muller 352; Ritter IV, 896; Alfred Schmid, Ein wertvoller medizinischer Sammelband aus der ersten Hälfte des 16. 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.

Concerning the Right to Succession to the Kingdom of England, Two Books; Against the Sophisms of One Parsons a Jesuite, Who Assum'd the Counterfeit Name Doleman; By Which He Endeavours to Overthrow Not Only the Rights of Succession in Kingdoms, But Also the Sacred Authority of Kings Themselves. Written Originally in Latin Above 100 Years Since by the Author, And Now Faithfully Translated Into English, With a Large Index of Contents, And a Preface by the Translator. London: Printed by M. Bennet, For Dan. Brown, 1703. [34], 230, 245-431, [17] pp. Folio (12-1/2" x 8"). Contemporary speckled calf, blind frames to boards, gilt spine with raised bands and lettering piece. A few minor scratches to boards, corners bumped and somewhat worn, front board just beginning to separate, rear joint just starting at ends, front free endpaper detached. Armorial Macclesfield bookplate to front pastedown, small embossed Macclesfield crest to title page. Offsetting to margins of endleaves, light soiling to title page, interior otherwise fresh. $1,500. * Only edition. Craig wrote this work in 1603 in response to Robert Parsons's A Conference About the Next Succession to the Crown of England (1594), which supported the claims of the infanta of Spain. The vigorous suppression of Parsons's book and the peaceful accession of James I probably convinced Craig that his book was obsolete and not worth publishing. When it was published, however, it provoked a response by William Atwood entitled The Superiority and Direct Dominion of the Imperial Crown of England over the Crown and Kingdom of Scotland and the Divine Right of Succession to Both Crowns Inseparable from the Civil, Asserted: In Answer to Sir Thomas Craig's Treatises of Homage and Succession (1704, 2nd ed. 1705). This book was ordered by the Scottish Parliament to be burnt by the common hangman. Craig, a notable Scotch jurist and poet, is best known as the author of Jus Feudale (1603), an the first systematic exposition of Scots law. OCLC locates 6 copies, none in law libraries.

[VIVES, Juan Luis].
De Vita Christianorum sub Turca opusculum. [in: "SADOLETO, Iacopo. De Bello Turcis inferendo, Oratio. Eiusdem Argumenti OTHONIS BRUNFELSII ad Christianos Principes Oratio. IACOBI FONTANI de Rhodi expugnatione Epistola. PETRI NANNIi Alcmariani Declamatio"a]
      Basileae, 1538 (A la fin:) Basileae, per Thomam Platterum 1538, Mense Martio. in-8. 247pp. Plein veau brun, dos a nerfs, encadrement de filets a froid sur les plats (Reliure moderne dans le style de l'epoque). Texte de l'humaniste espagnol Juan Louis Vives (1492-1542), adresse aux nations europeennes, sur les mÅ“urs des Turcs et leur incompatibilite avec ceux des Chretiens. Il parut pour la premiere fois dans un recueil intitule "De Concordia et Discordia in Humano Genere" (un des ouvrages les plus rares de Vives) adresse a l'empereur Charles V et publie a Anvers en 1528. Dans cet ecrit, Vives met en garde les nations chretiennes contre les Turcs decrivant ce que serait la vie des chretiens sous les lois et les mÅ“urs ottomanes. L'ouvrage reflete ses idees pacifistes mais aussi ses inquietudes (deja exprimees dans son "De Europae dissidiis et Bello Turcico", Bruges, Octobre 1526) au moment ou l'alliance avec les Turcs tentait certains esprits. Vives appelle les princes chretiens a la vigilance, a l'unite et a Å“uvrer pour la paix universelle. "Era enorme y alucinante la atraccion que el Turco ejercia sobre las mentes debiles del momento y hacia alla tendian como a un paraiso que cada cual se fingia y tenia con los colores de su propio deseo. Para salir a camino y cortar estas ilusiones escribio Vives este opusculo" (Riber). Cette edition est la premiere a paraitre dissociee des autres textes du "De Concordia", et la derniere publiee du vivant de Vives. Il occupe les p. 215 a 247 de ce volume collectif consacre a la Turquie, qui contient ces quatre autres ecrits : 2). "De Bello suspiciendo contra Turcas ad Ludovicum Christianissimm Gallarum Regem" (pp. 3-128). Cet ouvrage contre les Turcs de l'humaniste italien Jacopo Sadoleto (1477-1547), adresse au roi de France Louis XII, est paru a Rome en 1509. C'est sa premiere publication en prose. "His first appeala was adressed to Louis XII...It is at once a warning about the dangers of princely discord and a plea for the restauration of a Christian commonweal under the King of France" (Douglas). 3). "Ad Principes et Christianos omnes ut Rhodiorum atque aliorum qui a Turca devastantur Christianorum afflictionibus" (pp. 129-151) de l'humaniste, medecin et botaniste allemand Otto Brunfels (1488-1534). Paru en 1523 il concerne le siege de Rhodes par les Turcs de Suleiman le Magnifique en 1522. 4). "Iudicis appelationum populi Rhodiensis de Expugnatione Rhodi Epistola" (pp. 152-168) de Jacobus Fontanus de Bruges (mort en 1528). C'est une lettre au pape Adrien VI sur les cruautes des Turcs en 1522 pendant le siege de Rhodes, parue pour la premiere fois en 1523. Fontanus publia en 1524 un histoire de ce siege celebre. 5). "In eos qui negant bellum Turcae inferendum, docta simul ac Christiana Declamatio" (pp. 169-214) de Pieter Nannick (1500-1557), professeur a Louvain, sur le danger des Turcs. Il etait paru pour la premiere fois a Louvain en 1536. Important recueil reunissant 5 ouvrages sur le conflit de la Chretiente avec l'empire Ottoman dans la premiere moitie du XVIs. Tres bel exemplaire. Lorenzo Riber, "Juan Luis Vives, Apostol de la Paz" (in: Obras Completas, Primera traduccion espanola, 1947). Sur Sadoleto, voir Richard M.

Tolomei, Cherubino (m. 1534).
Opera intitolata il fascicolo della Mirrhata, Redentrice, & Salutifera, Humanita di Christo. Novamente, In Terze Rime, Raccolto.
      Ferrara, Francesco Rossi, 10 maggio 1538. "In-4° (mm 190x131). Segnatura: A-Z4, Aa-Tt4. 168 carte non numerate. Carattere corsivo. Al frontespizio incisione su legno raffigurante una fenice racchiusa in cornice circolare a sua volta inscritta entro una bordura quadrata ornata e circondata dal motto: ‘Et Sic. Alter. Ab Altero. Unica. Phenice. Qual La Tua Tal La Mia Scusa.’. Il frontespizio e il testo sono racchiusi in una bordo nero inciso su legno. Legatura settecentesca in vitello agli acidi, dorso decorato da ferri dorati con titolo in oro su tassello in marocchino rosso; tagli rossi, sguardie in carta marmorizzata, segnalibro in seta verde. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, alcune gore e qualche macchia alle prime carte, abrasioni alla pelle dei piatti della legatura. Nota di possesso manoscritta del secolo xvi al frontespizio: ‘ad usum domini petri gatti’; al contropiatto anteriore ex-libris con uno stemma nobiliare, al quale manca la parte inferiore che recava probabilmente il nome del possessore. Rarissima prima e unica edizione – se ne conoscono solo quattro copie censite nelle biblioteche italiane – di quest’opera, che è anche l’unica nota del ferrarese Cherubino dei Tolomei, detto degli Assassini, che si inserisce nell’ampio filone della poesia spirituale del Cinquecento avente per oggetto la vita e la passione di Cristo. Il componimento è dedicato a Renata di Francia, duchessa di Ferrara e moglie di Ercole II d’Este, ed è posto simbolicamente sotto l’ègida della fenice, raffigurata al frontespizio, come dichiarato dall’autore che afferma di voler «Rinovare l’huomo vecchio, isteriore mio, et farlo in Christo nova creatura». La Mirrhata – e il titolo allude chiaramente alla mirra che secondo la tradizione simboleggia l’unzione di Cristo, o l’espiazione dei peccati tramite la sofferenza e la morte corporale – è scritta in terza rima ed è divisa in cinquanta ‘sarmenti’ – cioè ‘rami’ – che il Tolomei dichiara di aver metaforicamente raccolto «da gli propri alberi loro, cioe da quelli, che hanno di questo Christianissimo sobietto, della salutifera Humanita, dello nostro piissimo Redentore, felicemente scritto, cosi in prosa, come in verso, et Rima, Abenche quanto mi sappia, non di questa sorte anchora» (c. 2v). L’opera, impressa l’anno dopo la morte dell’autore, è seguita da un’errata introdotta da una nota apologetica dello stampatore in cui si dice che, trattandosi della prima impressione del poemetto fatta sull’ultima revisione condotta dal Tolomei, essa non è scevra da imperfezioni. Very rare first and only edition of the only known work by Cherubino dei Tolomei, called ‘degli Assassini’ (of the Killers), which is a poem in tercets about the life and passion of Jesus Christ, dedicated by the author to Renée of France, the wife of the duke of Ferrara, Hercules II of Este. 18th century marbled calf binding, gilt decorations and gilt title within red morocco label on spine; red edges. On title-page a woodcut device depicting a phoenix within circular border and a Latin motto. Good copy, some dampstains and some spotting on first leaves, the binding a little rubbed. Manuscript note of possession of the 16th century on title; armorial bookplate in the inner cover. C. Fahy, Elenco delle edizioni di Francesco Rosso, in Id. L’Orlando furioso del 1532. Profilo di un’edizione, Milano 1989, pp. 179-188."

BEMBO (Pietro)
Epistolarum Leonis decimi Pont. Max. nomine scriptarum Libri XVI. Placuit praetera eiusdem auctoris epistolas aliquot sane quam doctas adnectere. Videlicet ad Longolium III, ad Budaeum II, ad Erasmum I.
      Lyon, heritiers de Simon Vincent, 1538. 1 vol. petit in-8°, velin souple. Reliure du temps. Ex-libris ms. Francois Gillet sur le titre et Augustin Saddeti sur le f. de garde. Quelques rousseurs. 3eme edition de la collection des Brefs de Leon X rediges par Pietro Bembo (e.o., Venise, 1515). P. Bembo fut secretaire intime de Jean de Medicis (le fils de Laurent le Magnifique) durant tout son pontificat (1513-1521). Ce grand protecteur des arts et des lettres marqua profondement son siecle par sa munificence et ses liberalites a l'egard des plus grands savants de son temps, et favorisa par ses largesses l'essor de la Renaissance. Et s'il fut moins habile politique, s'il ne sut pas non plus correctement envisager la naissance de la Reforme et l'importance des contestations de Luther, son pontificat est d'une importance capitale et marque un tournant dans l'histoire politique et religieuse de l'Europe tout entiere. On comprend le choix qu'il fit de Pietro Bembo comme secretaire, ancien correcteur des editions d'Alde Manuce, et deja celebre pour sa parfaite connaissance du latin et du grec comme pour l'elegance ciceronienne de son style. A la fin du volume, figurent egalement quelques lettres de Bembo a plusieurs eminents humanistes : Longolius, Guillaume Bude et Erasme. Elegante impression de Denis de Harsy pour les heritiers de Simon Vincent. Graesse I, 333; manque a Adams.

Biblia Latina.
Biblia Hebraea, Chaldaea, Graeca Latina nomina [...] cum Latina interpretatione. Locorum descriptio è Cosmographis. Index praeterea rerum sententiarum quae in iisdem Bibliis continentur [...].
      - Paris, Robert Stephanus, 1538-1540.4 Teile in einem Band. (10), 268 Bll. (1), 104 [recte: 103] Bll. 90 Bll. 92 Bll. [zus. 564 Bll.]. Mit figuraler Titelbordüre in Holzschnitt, der vierfach wiederholten, halbseitigen Druckermarke Estiennes, zwanzig teils ganzseitigen Textholzschnitten und zahlreichen Holzschnittinitialen. Blindgeprägter brauner Lederband der Zeit mit 8 (von 10) Messingeckbeschlägen und zwei intakten Schließbändern. Imp.-Folio.Robert Estiennes erste illustrierte Bibel (seine dritte in Folio). Der Text wurde korrigiert und revidiert von Guillaume Fabritius nach Estiennes Vulgata von 1528, ebenfalls im Imperial-Folio und "quite simply the most remarkable and original typographical treatment of the Bible ever printed [...] That of 1540 incorporates refinements of detail [...] The 1540 folio thus has a claim to be considered the most beautiful bible ever printed" (The Cambridge History of the Bible III, pp. 437-438). Estiennes erste Foliobibel von 1528 gilt als "the earliest genuine attempt at a critical edition of the Vulgate text" (Darlow/M. 6109). "The text of this edition represents a further revision on the same lines as that 1528, but based on a larger number of MSS [...] used by R. Stephanus, who acknowledges the help rendered by Guilelmus Fabritius in preparing this revision. It contains the Prayer of Manesses in Greek (as well as in Latin), printed here for the first time" (Darlow/M. zur vorliegenden Ausgabe). - "Most of the cuts are lettered and accompanied by printed keys [...] This is one of the few illustrated books printed by Estienne, and the purpose of the woodcuts is instruction above the Biblia pauperum level [...] Estienne acknowledges on the title-page the assistance of Francois Vatable, regius professor of Hebrew, in preparing the illustrations for the Tabernacle and the Temple of Solomon [...] Added to the scholarship of Vatable and Estienne was an accomplished hand in designing and cutting the blocks. They where thus widely copied [...] Tory criblé initials as in Estiennes's first folio Bible of 1528" (Mortimer). - Recht selten über OCLC nicht nachweisbar. - Die Einbanddecken sowie die ersten bzw. letzten Bll. mit zahlreichen stecknadelkopfgroßen Wurmspuren, der Titel überdies etwas angestaubt, sonst innen weitgehend sauber und nur vereinzelt etwas fingerfleckig.

      in officina Frobeniana per Hieronymum Frobenium, & Nicolaum Episcopium, 1538. Folio, pp. [28], 398 (i.e. 389), [11]; woodcut printer's device on title and colophon, numerous woodcut initials throughout; full 18th century calf, gilt-decorated spine, the initials of an early owner ("M.S.J.S.R. ") in the third compartment, edges stained red; S2 bound before S3; a very good, sound copy. An early edition of Erasmus's edition of Terence's plays. Compared to Erasmus's own writings, "of almost equal importance for the history of humanism and education are the editions he prepared of the classical authors ? They were of two kinds: editions of the text itself, usually with a commentary; and, in the case of the Greek authors, translations into Latin. These editions had wide circulation and served to open the ancient world to a far broader public than had access to it before" (Houghton Library, Erasmus on the 500th Anniversary of his Birth, 42a). The first Erasmus edition was printed in 1532 and was subsequently printed no less than 40 times during the 16th and 17th centuries. With commentaries by Aelius Donatus, Aemilius Asper, Lucius Annaeus Cornutus, and Giovanni Calfurino. Yale, Michigan, and NC only in OCLC.

Spiegel, Jakob (Jacobus)
Iuris [Juris] Civilis Lexicon ex Variis Probatorum Autorum
      1538. Spiegel, Jakob (Jacobus) [1483-c.1547]. [Hegendorf, Cristoph (1500-1540)]. Iuris Civilis Lexicon ex Variis Probatorum Autorum Commentariis Congestum. Strassburg: Io. Schottus Execudebat, 1538. [340], 54, [58] pp. Text printed in double columns. Folio (8-1/4" x 13-1/2"). Contemporary vellum dyed to look like calf, raised bands and lettering piece to spine, endpapers renewed at some point. Light rubbing to extremities, corners and spine ends bumped, front joint cracked but secure, rear joint starting, rear free endpaper loose. Attractive woodcut decorated initials, dedication printed within ornate woodcut architectural border. Toning, light browning in a few places, occasional faint dampstaining to margins. Early annotations to title page and a few leaves. A handsome copy of a scarce edition. * First edition. With indexes. Spiegel was a lawyer, a privy counselor to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and a notable humanist scholar who corresponded with Erasmus. The Lexicon Iuris Civilis, a dictionary of terms in Roman law, is his most important work. It was issued 12 times; the first edition was published in 1538, the final edition in 1577. The entries are rather brief, ranging from a sentence to a few paragraphs, and they contain references to examples in the Roman juristic literature. The part comprising 54 numbered pages, "In Tit. C. Iustiniani, Christophori Hegendorphini Exegeses," is Spiegel's exegesis of sections of the Code, the Twelve Tables and other topics in Roman law with added commentary (exegesis) by Hegendorf. OCLC locates 2 copies of this edition in North America, one at the Library of Congress, another at the University of Pennsylvania.

Craig, Sir Thomas
Concerning the Right to Succession to the Kingdom of England, Two Books; Against the Sophisms of One Parsons a Jesuite, Who Assum'd the Counterfeit Name Doleman; By Which He Endeavours to Overthrow Not Only the Rights of Succession in Kingdoms, But Also the Sacred Authority of Kings Themselves.
      Craig, Sir Thomas [1538- - 1608]. [Gatherer, James, Translator]. Written Originally in Latin Above 100 Years Since by the Author, And Now Faithfully Translated Into English, With a Large Index of Contents, And a Preface by the Translator. London: Printed by M. Bennet, For Dan. Brown, 1703. [34], 230, 245-431, [17] pp. Folio (12-1/2" x 8"). Contemporary speckled calf, blind frames to boards, gilt spine with raised bands and lettering piece. A few minor scratches to boards, corners bumped and somewhat worn, front board just beginning to separate, rear joint just starting at ends, front free endpaper detached. Armorial Macclesfield bookplate to front pastedown, small embossed Macclesfield crest to title page. Offsetting to margins of endleaves, light soiling to title page, interior oherwise fresh. * Only edition. Craig wrote this work in 1603 in response to Robert Parsons's A Conference About the Next Succession to the Crown of England (1594), which supported the claims of the infanta of Spain. The vigorous suppression of Parsons's book and the peaceful accession of James I probably convinced Craig that his book was obsolete and not worth publishing. When it was published, however, it provoked a response by William Atwood entitled The Superiority and Direct Dominion of the Imperial Crown of England over the Crown and Kingdom of Scotland and the Divine Right of Succession to Both Crowns Inseparable from the Civil, Asserted: In Answer to Sir Thomas Craig's Treatises of Homage and Succession (1704, 2nd ed. 1705). This book was ordered by the Scottish Parliament to be burnt by the common hangman. Craig, a notable Scotch jurist and poet, is best known as the author of Jus Feudale (1603), an the first sytematic exposition of Scots law. OCLC locates 6 copies, none in law libraries.

SOLINUS, Caius Julius and Pomponius MELA
Polyhistor, rerum toto orbe memorabilium thesaurus locupletissimus...
      Michaelis Isingrinius and Henricus Petrus Basle, 1538. Folio, with two folding woodcut maps, one with a slight tear, 18 woodcut maps in the text (three full-page), woodcut initials, woodcut printer's device on title and verso of last leaf; title leaf slightly darkened; several early ownership entries on title and one stamp removed; a very nice copy in an old Spanish binding of marbled sheep. First edition with commentary and woodcut maps by Sebastian Münster of these two classic geographical texts. Solinus was a legendary Roman geographer, grammarian and compiler whose Polyhistor survived in manuscript until the age of printing, first appearing in print in Venice in 1473. It incorporated much of Pliny's Natural History as well as Pomponius Mela's texts on geography, and also included brief remarks on a number of historical, social, religious and natural history questions. Pomponius Mela's work was the classic geographical text of the Middle Ages, which in part expounds the argument that the known landmasses in the Northern hemisphere must have antipodean counterparts to balance them.This important edition was edited by Hermann Münster, a very significant figure in the history of sixteenth-century cartography. In 1540 Münster published his own modernised edition of Ptolemy, which included a number of ground-breaking remade maps; he was one of the earliest map-makers to create space in the woodblock for the insertion of place-names set in metal type.Of particular interest here is the large folding map of Asia, which covers the area from the Cape of Good Hope and the Nile, the Indian Ocean, India, China and the Pacific Ocean, and which shows in the northeast corner a strip of land called "Terra incognita": this was 'the earliest representation of the north-west coast of America on a printed map' (Burden) and in fact according to Eames (see Jones) 'the earliest... indication of the western coast'. Burden also points out that this map also has one of the earliest depictions of a strait between Asia and America, nearly 200 years before Vitus Bering's voyages to the region. It is also the first work to include a printed map of Asia as a whole."Regnum Malacha" in the southeast corner is in the approximate area of north-eastern Australia. 'The other folding map shows Greece with Asia Minor. Among the smaller maps within the text, that of Russia (p. 48) is especially noteworthy; here, for the first time, the river system is shown with reasonable exactness, and it has been suggested that this map might be founded on communications from Baron Herberstein (1486-1566), who executed two diplomatic missions for the Emperor Maximilian in Moscow...'

Craig, Sir Thomas
Jus Feudale tribus libris comprehensum. Quibus non solum consuetudines Feudales & Praediorum Jura, quae in Scotia, Anglia, & plerisque Galliae locis obtinent, continentur; sed Universum Jus Scoticum, et omnes fere Materiae Juris clare & dilucide exponuntur, et ad fontes Juris Feudalis & Civilis singula reducuntur.
      Craig, Sir Thomas [1538- - 1608]. London: Impensis Societatis Stationariorum, 1655. Folio. [xii], 383, [1, blank] pp. Full contemporary sheep, damp stain to final leaves Woodcut head-pieces and initials. * Rare first edition. Jus Feudale, in marked contrast with the compilations which preceded it, is an original work. "Indeed Craig was the first systematic writer on law in Scotland. The Jus Feudale is not a mere textbook of the law of land rights, but is a learned disquisition upon a great social system. The opening chapters are devoted to an examination of the sources of law in general, and trace the history and development of the Civil, Canon and Feudal laws. If Craig had accomplished no more than that he would have been entitled to a foremost place amongst our jurists, for unquestionably the form of his book not only exemplified the philosophical outlook of the learned Scots lawyer, but provided a model of construction and treatment for his successors."

Zu I/II: Einzige lateinische Ausgabe. - Seltenes und berühmtes Dokument zur Geschichte der Hussiten in der erweiterten Ausgabe, erstmals mit Luthers Vorrede in der 'Confessio ?'. Die Denkschrift beinhaltet Geschichte, Lehrbegriff, Kirchen- und Gottesdienstordnung der (alten) Böhmischen Brüderunität, die sich 1467 von den gemäßigten Hussiten abgespaltet hatte. - Die Böhmischen Brüder (auch Mährischen Brüder, tschechisch Jednota bratrská) traten als eine religiöse Gemeinschaft im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert insbesondere in Böhmen auf; ihre Mitglieder bildeten sich aus Taboriten und Waldenser. Bezeichnend für die Böhmischen Brüder in ihrer Lehre und Lebensweise waren eine am Urchristentum orientierte Religionsauffassung, eine strenge Kirchenzucht, die Verweigerung von Militärdienst und Eid sowie die Ablehnung, öffentliche Ämter zu bekleiden. Die Brüder, die ein frommes Leben in apostolischer Armut erstrebten, wurden bald mit dem damals üblichen Ketzernamen der Waldenser oder Picarden bezeichnet. Auch Martin Luther, der mehrfach mit ihnen verhandelte, konnte sie nicht auf seine Seite ziehen, da sie auf dem Zölibat, den sieben Sakramenten und der Abendmahlslehre nach katholischem Glauben bestanden. Ihre Existenz war stets gefährdet und hing von der Duldung der Obrigkeit ab. So ist auch die vorliegende Schrift dem Markgrafen Georg den Frommen von Brandenburg-Ansbach gewidmet, der viele Jahre im Dienste König Wladislaws von Böhmen gestanden hatte und Erzieher von dessen Sohn Ludwig II. war. Der im Titel nicht genannte Autor Jan Augusta war seit 1532 Bischof der Brüdergemeine und ihr einflussreichster Repräsentant nach dem Tode des Lukas von Prag. - Zu II: First Latin edition of the Bohemian Confession of 1535 and was prepared, after the example of the Lutherans at the Diet of Augsburg, in proof of their orthodoxy, signed by the noblemen belonging to the Unitas, and laid by a deputation before King Ferdinand at Vienna, Nov. 14, 1535, who promised to take it into consideration.The confession consists of a long apologetic preface against the charges of heresy and immorality, and of twenty articles. It closely resembles in form and contents the Augsburg Confession. - Die drei wiederholten Holzschnitt-Portraits zeigen Johannes Huss. - Zu III: Erste Ausgabe dieses Prophetenkommentars.

GRASSAILLE, Charles de
Regalium Franciae libri duo, iura omnia & dignitates christianiss. Galli(a) regum, continentes
      Simon Vincent heirs (Jean Crespin), Lyon 1538 - Contemporary calf (early spine repairs, very worn but sound) 8vo . FIRST EDITION of this important treatise which argues the juristic basis of dynastic right to the French throne and over the privileges of the French king and his relationship to the rule of law. The author, Charles de Grassaille, (Degrassalius: 1495-1582) promotes the idea that the kings power is without equal. The attractive woodcuts depict the king in various offical acts as well as a map of Europe. "Both of the texts by Chasseneuz and Grassaille were written at a time when the nature of political power in France was undergoing a radical change. As is well known, the diffused power of late-medieval feudalism, form of political and social organization typical of Western Europe from the dissolution of Charlemagne's empire to the rise of the absolute monarchies was being converted to the much more centralized and absolutist monarchy that would come to define Renaissance France. This shift was profound and far- reaching. . Chasseneuz, Grassaille, and other legists such as Charles Du Moulin, tried to legitimate the French monarchy by searching history for precedents of royal prerogatives and privileges. One of the privileges of the French king noted by Chasseneuz, for example, was that he had the right to call himself an emperor in his own realm" ("On the evolution of toads in the French Renaissance"; Renaissance Society of America; Brandeis Univ.) 2 parts in 1 vol. [20], 322 pp. 1 blank; [2], 137, [4] pp. General title-page with four part woodcut border incorporating the woodcut device of A Vincent; 2 woodcut title borders to each part, 40 text woodcuts and numerous woodcut initials.

The woodcut illustrations show scenes from the Bible such as the expulsion from Paradise, Kain slaying Abel, Babel, and from the New Testament nativity, crucifixion, and resurrection. The cut on f. 113 of Ovid, Virgil and Dido represents a further combination of the sacred and profane. The Harvard copy has a manuscript correction of "disertum" for "desertum" in the "Excusatio" on f. 6, whereas the BL copy (according to Mortimer) has a printed correction, presumably representing a later state. The printer was identified from the ornamental capitals as Aurelio Pincio by Dennis Rhodes. - Lacking leaf a8, title somewhat dusty, edges a bit frayed, with stamps on recto and verso, some old ms. insc., several other small stamps in margins, waterstain to outer lower corner of a few leaves, some traces of worming. Otherwise an interesting example of a 16th-century Venetian illustrated book, printed in an attractive Italic type. - Mortimer 522; Sander 7506.
