Milan: Calvum, 1540 Two epistles by Isidoro Chiari, Bishop of Foligno, (1495 1555). Bound in one volume, the epistles were printed by Francesco Minizio Calvo, one of the more prominent early imitators of Ludovico degli Arrighi’s italic letter. Calvo used Aldine letter when he first set up his printing shop in Rome in 1523 and eventually served as printer to the Camera Apostolica, c. 1527 -1534. Relocating to Milan, by 1540 he produced several works in the style of Arrighi’s beautiful italic Rome (Johnson and Morison, Fleuron, Vol III, p. 37). The De Mondo is one of these printed in his Arrighi style italic and with a woodcut title border depicting the standing figures of Minerva and Mars, and the figure of Roma within a wreath. This border he had first printed while in Rome in 1523 (hence the figure of Roma, see Mortimer, Italian Sixteenth Century Books, p. 171). It may be the case that they were in fact issued together as both the British Library Copy and the Newberry copies have both these same editions bound together First Editions. 4to. A-E4; A-G4. Each title within woodcut border. Eighteenth-century Italian calf. Two small chips from rear cover, else a fine, BEAUTIFUL copy. Bookplate of George Abrams.

(Wien), (1540).. 1 Bl. Folio.. Das schöne und bekannte Exlibris des Wiener Bischofs Johannes Fabri von 1540. Fabri, der selbst eine große Sammlung an Frühdrucken besaß, hatte 1539 eine bedeutende Zahl an mittelalterlichen Handschriften aus dem Besitz des Johannes Alexander Brassicanus erworben. Der Großteil der legendären Bibliothek des Johannes Fabri, die zu seinen Lebzeiten in der Bibliothek des Kollegiums St. Nikolaus verwahrt wurden, kam später an die alte Universitätsbibliothek. 1756 gingen diese Bestände an die Hofbibliothek. Obwohl in der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek etliche Handschriften mit diesem Exlibris aufbewahrt werden, sind einzeln vorkommende sehr selten. Unser Exemplar ist auf dem vollen Folio-Blatt erhalten, aber sicherlich ein Einbandfund. Einige winzige Löchlein, Reste von Klebespuren, einige winzige Einrisse geschickt restauriert.

CERCHIA DI FRANCESCO MARIA MAZZOLA DETTO PARMIGIANINO (PARMA 1503 CASAL MAGGIORE 1540)
|
|
| LA MADONNA DI SANTA MARGHERITA 1540
|
Acquaforte e bulino, circa 1540/45. Da un soggetto del Parmigianino. Magnifica prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, irregolarmente rifilata allinterno della linea del rame, tracce di piega di carta centrale, leggere abrasioni, nel complesso in buono stato di conservazione. Lopera, sconosciuta a tutti i repertori consultati, e' in relazione con il dipinto del Parmigianino ora nella Pinacoteca di Bologna, eseguito dallartista nel 1529 per la chiesa e monastero di Santa Margherita. La composizione raffigura la Vergine con il Bambino, santa Margherita, san Benedetto, san Girolamo e un angelo. Il Copertini descrive una sola opera a stampa coeva derivante dallolio su tavola del Parmigianino; un bulino di Giulio Bonasone, databile circa al 1543. Rispetto al dipinto la stampa del Bonasone presenta delle lievi differenze che lasciano supporre che si sia ispirato al disegno preparatorio, ora perduto. Lopera qui descritta, si differenzia dal dipinto essenzialmente per la mancanza del paesaggio sullo sfondo, sostituito da un letto con baldacchino; e' altresi' probabile che lanonimo artista si sia ispirato al disegno preparatorio. Importante documento della grafica manierista. Etching and engraving, 1540/45. After a subject by Parmigianino. Magnificent work, printed on contemporary laid paper without watermark, irregularly trimmed inside the platemark, signs of central fold, light abrasions, otherwise in good condition. This work, unknown to the main catalogues, derives from the painting, nowadays in the Pinacoteca of Bologna, realized by Parmigianino in 1529 for the church and monastery of St. Margareth. The composition depicts the Holy Virgin with the Child, St. Margareth, St. Benedict, St. Jerome and an Angel. Copertini reports only one engraving of the period deriving from Parmigianinos work: an engraving by Giulio Bonasone, 1543 circa. Unlike the painting, the print shows different details: there is no landscape in the backgound, but a baldachin. This makes us presume that the print derives directly from the lost preparatory drawing Copertini, Il Parmigianino, pp. 107/111; Parmigianino e il manierismo europeo pp. 218/219, 2.2.21; Massari, Iulio Bonasone pp.38/39, 10.

Ruperto di Deutz (Rupertus Tuicensis)
|
|
| In XII Prophetas minores, Commentariorum libri XXXII - De Victoria Verbi Dei Libri Tredecim - De Divinis Officiis Libri XII.
|
Coloniae, impensis Arnoldi Birckman, 1540-1543. - 3 voll. in un tomo in-folio (321x205mm), ff. (6), CCXLII; (4), LXXXVII, (1); (5), CLXVII; legatura coeva p. pelle (rimontata) con ricchi decori a secco ai piatti a candelabra e a motivi floreali e vegetali entro due bordure inquadranti fleuron centrale. Dorso con titolo in oro e nervi rilevati. Impresa tipografica del Birckman incisa su legno replicata ai tre frontespizi e consistente in una cornice architettonica riccamente ornata con al centro due fiere rampanti ed un gallo; siccome il Birckman aveva la sua sede "à la poule grasse", egli aveva inserito tale animale nella propria impresa di stampatore. Numerose iniziali silografiche istoriate. Sottolineature antiche a penna e glosse marginali, egualmente coeve al volume ed in astrusa grafia, a numerose pagine, afferenti al testo di Ruperto. Al verso dell'ultimo foglio di testo della terza opera, antica firma di possesso. Ampi indici precedenti o seguenti ognuna delle opere. Aloni e buniture sparse. La prima e la seconda opera recano la data di stampa del febbraio 1540; la terza quella del 1543. Ruperto di Deutz, nato sul finire dell'XI secolo presso Liegi (o presso Ypres), divenne in giovanissima età oblato dell'abbazia di San Lorenzo della medesima città abbracciando la regola benedettina, per poi esulare, in seguito allo scatenarsi delle lotte per le investiture, nella Francia del Nord insieme con l'abate Berengario, cui fu stretto da grande amicizia. Ordinato sacerdote, nel 1113 si trasferì a Siegburg e nel 1120 a Deutz, sulla riva sinistra del Reno, a est di Colonia, di cui fu nominato abate. Morì nel 1135 o 1136 e fu tenuto in grandissimo conto per l'ampiezza della sua dottrina e per la probità del suo vivere. La prima opera è un commento ai Profeti biblici minori improntato appunto a tale chiave interpretativa; il "De Victoria Verbi Dei" frammischia teologia speculativa e teologia storica; il "De Divinis Officiis" è la sua prima opera teologico-liturgica, inerente alle cerimonie religiose. Adams, A-918 (per il "De Divinis Officiis"). S.T.C. German Books, p. 762 (ed. del Birckman del 1527). Le altre due opere mancano all'Adams, che ne cita diverse altre stampe cinquecentesche, tra cui, sempre del Birckman, una del 1529 per il "De Victoria" e, per il commento ai Profeti, edizioni del 1527 e 1534. V. Graesse, VI, 193 (ediz. del Birckman del 1527 del commento ai Profeti; ediz. del 1526 del "De Divinis Officiis"). Cfr. Valerius Andreas, "Bibl. Belgica", pp. 804-805.

A very rare edition of Leonardo (Aretino) Bruni's version of Aristotle's Politics, and of Bernardino Donato's version of Aristotle's Economics, which had also been translated by Bruni and published c1471. Donato mentions the latter in his preface to the work. The eight books of the Politics contain Aristotle's idea that the state was developed naturally by the grouping of families in villages, and of villages in a state, for the purpose of securing for the citizens a good and self-sufficient life. He discusses citizenship, classifies existing constitutions, and recognises the advantages of a limited democracy, although he thinks that the best form of government is either an enlightened monarchy, or an aristocracy of virtuous men. Books 4-6 deal with historical states; 7 and 8 contain the discussion of the ideal state. Each book is introduced by an useful outline by Raffaello Maffei. The first books of the Economics deal with the relationship between man and woman, the second contains historical examples. This is followed by the original Greek text. Leonardo Bruni (1369-1444) was born at Arezzo, the birthplace of Petrarch. He learnt Greek in Florence under Chrysoloras, and his fame as a latinist led to his being a papal secretary from 1405 to 1415, and chancellor of Florence from 1427 to his death. His reputation, however, rests on his translations from the Greek. Beginning with Demosthenes, he subsequently provided versions of works of...

Le décor de cette reliure est manifestement influencée par celles des grands bibliophiles de ce temps, Grolier et Mahieu. Le premier plat porte le titre de l'ouvrage : "M. T. CIC. EPISTOLAE." et le second, la devise : "TU TIBI IPSE FORTUNA". Cette devise, était celle des Franconville, dont le marquis d'O était l'héritier par sa femme.

First Edition. Octavo, 2vols.. viii, 351, [1]; 575, [4]pp. Period quarter vellum with beige papered boards and gilt tooled labels. A very good set. "Francis Xavier devoted much of his life to missions in foreign countries. As King John III of Portugal desired Jesuit missionaries for the Portuguese East Indies, he was ordered there in 1540. He left Lisbon on April 7, 1541, together with two other Jesuits and the new viceroy Martim de Sousa, on board the Santiago. From August of that year until March 1542, he remained in Mozambique then reached Goa, the capital of the then Portuguese Indian colonies on May 6 1542. His official role there was Apostolic Nuncio and he spent the following three years operating out of Goa. On September 20, 1543, he left for his first missionary activity among the Paravas, pearl-fishers along the east coast of southern India, North of Cape Comorin. He then focused on converting the king of Travancore to Christianity and also visited Ceylon. Dissatisfied with the results of his activity, he set his sights eastward in 1545 and planned a missionary journey to Macassar on the island of Celebes (today's Indonesia). After arriving to Malacca in October of that year and waiting three months in vain for a ship to Macassar, he gave up the goal of his voyage and left Malacca on January 1, 1546 for Amboyna where he stayed until mid-June. He then visited other Molucca Islands including Ternate and More. Shortly after Easter 1546, he returned to Ambon Island and later Malacca. During this time, frustrated by the elites in Goa, St. Francis wrote to King D. JoOo III for an Inquisition to be installed in Goa. However, this Inquisition did not begin until eight years after his death. Voyages of St. Francis XavierFrancis Xavier's work initiated permanent change in eastern Indonesia, where in 1546-1547 he worked in the Maluku region among the people of Ambon, Ternate, and Morotai (or Moro), and laid the foundations for a permanent mission. After he left Maluku, others carried on his work and by the 1560s there were 10,000 Catholics in the area, mostly on Ambon. By the 1590s there were 50,000 to 60,000. In December 1547, in Malacca, Francis Xavier met a Japanese nobleman from Kagoshima named Anjiro. Anjiro had heard from Francis in 1545 and had travelled from Kagoshima to Malacca with the purpose of meeting him. Having been charged with murder, Anjiro fled Japan. He poured his heart out to Francis Xavier, telling him about his former life and the customs and culture of his beloved homeland. Anjiro was a samurai and as such provided Xavier with a skilled mediator and translator for the mission to Japan that now seemed much closer to reality. "I asked [Anjiro] whether the Japanese would become Christians if I went with him to this country, and he replied that they would not do so immediately, but would first ask me many questions and see what I knew. Above all, they would want to see whether my life corresponded with my teachinga' All the Portuguese merchants who have come from Japan assure me that by going there I could render God our Lord much service, and more than among the peoples of India, because the Japanese are a race greatly given to the exercise of reason." Thus intrigued, Xavier baptized Anjiro-who was now called Paulo de Santa Fe-and began to plan for a mission to this recently discovered land. Anjiro helped Francis Xavier translate a few paragraphs of Christian doctrine into phonetic Japanese which Xavier learned by heart. He returned to India in January 1548. The next 15 months were occupied with various journeys and administrative measures in India. Then due to displeasure at what he considered un-Christian life and manners on the part of the Portuguese which impeded missionary work, he travelled from the South into East Asia. He left Goa on April 15, 1549, stopped at Malacca and visited Canton. He was accompanied by Anjiro, two other Japanese men, the father Cosme de Torrs and Brother JoOo Fernandes. He h

One of only 125 copies issued as part of a highly important set along with 49 similar works. [ Never before sold separately-only previously sold as part of complete sets to major world libraries ]. * the texts in the series HISTORIC ACCOUNTING LITERATURE expound and develop the art of book-keeping in the 350 years after Pacioli's seminal Summa de Arithmetica. They show how patterns and conventions were established, and how the following generations built on them in turn. As this body of knowledge accumulated, it became the framework for commercial dealings. Most of these works were intended for the instruction of students and apprentices, or for the use of book-keepers and merchants. The original copies are in the library of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in London, whose holdings in the fields of book-keeping and accountancy are the finest in the world. Most are of the utmost rarity & extremely fragile. Probably the only opportunity to acquire this text in a superbly produced edition, whose original has so rarely been offered for sale in useful condition, and probably never will be again.

HOLBEIN, Hans d. J. (1497/98-1543).
|
|
| Erasmus im Gehäuse'. Einblattholzschnitt mit Bildnis des Erasmus von Rotterdam in ganzer Figur, nach Holbein geschnitten von Veit Specklin.
|
- Ca. 285 x 152 mm [Blattgrösse: 286 x 175 mm]. [Basel, Hieronymus Froben und Nicolaus Episcopius, 1540/41]. Erstabzug des berühmten Gedenkblattes. Der grosse Holzschnitt, seit Amerbachs Inventar von 1580 bekannt unter der Bezeichnung "Erasmus im Gehäuse", zeigt den greisen Humanisten in Dreiviertelansicht nach rechts in einem auf einer Konsole stehenden Portalbogen, die rechte Hand auf dem Haupt der vor ihm stehenden Herme des Terminus, sein Mahnzeichen und Schutzgott. Den Auftrag erhielt Holbein höchstwahrscheinlich von Hieronymus Froben bei einem seiner kurzen Aufenthalte in Basel (10. Sept.-16. Okt. 1538). Die Holbeinsche Zeichnung wurde von Veit Specklin auf Holz übertragen und in der Offizin von Froben und Nicolaus Episcopius gedruckt. Laut Koegler - er datiert den Druck auf ca. 1535; Müller und Hieronymus auf frühestens1540 - wurde das Blatt u. a. auch in die Gesamtausgabe der Werke des Erasmus, deren Veröffentlichung 1540 durch Froben und Episcopius abgeschlossen war, eingeklebt. Der Erstdruck ist erkenntlich am zweitiligen Text in der Kartusche: Corporis effigiem si quis non vidit Erasmi / Hanc scite ad vivum picta tabella dabit (Falls jemand die liebliche Erscheinung des Erasmus nicht gesehen hat, / wird sie ihm das exakt nach dem Leben gemalte Bildnis zeigen). Die Inschrift variiert das Thema, wonach das Abbild nicht Erasmus, sondern nur seinen Körper zeige (dass sich der Geist im Gemälde also nicht wiedergeben lasse). Der Zweitabzug enthält einen veränderten, vierzeiligen Text und dürfte nach 1550 gedruckt worden sein. Der Druckstock ist noch erhalten und bfindet sich im Kupferstichkabinett Basel. Mit drei tiefen Rissen (ohne jeglichen Papierverlust), etwas fleckig. Wunderbar gleichmässiger Abzug. C. Müller, H. Holbein d.J., die Druckgraphik im Kupferstichkabinett Basel (1997), Nr. 7 und Abb. S. 26; F. Hieronymus, Icones Erasmi, in: Basler Zeitschrift für Geschichte und Altertumskunde (1986), S. 109f.; Holbein Kat. 1960, Nr. 433; Hollstein IX.2, Nr. 9; F. Hieronymus, Oberrheinische Buchillustration (1984), Nr. 456 und Abb. S. 691. Very rare first issue of the famous portrait woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger commemorating Erasmus von Rotterdam who had died in 1536. The printer Hieronymus Froben had most probably awarded the contact during Holbein's visit in Basel in September/October 1538. The original wood block is still preserved in the Kupferstichkabinett in Basel. This first issue was cut by Veit Rudolf Specklin but was not printed before 1540 by Froben and Episcopius, who in 1540-1541 published the nine volumes of Erasmus' Omnia opera. "This woodcut was possibly not intended as woodcut illustration to the Opera omnia edition of 1544ff., as believed in early literature. It was pasted up in this edition only in the Basel (UB) copies. Probably meant as honorary tribute to Erasmus after his death" (Hollstein). - With a longer and a shorter tear, somewhat short cut, lightly dust-soiled and stained.

Beautiful recent full calf in old style w. raised bands and gilt and blindstamped ornamentations to spine, blindstamped rectangular and diamond shaped borders and gilt corner ornamentations to boards. Large woodcut illustration to title page, numerous illustrated woodcut initials throughout. 19th century presentation inscription name to title-page.

Last ab. 20 leaves quite heavily stained at margins, last ab. five leaves generally stained and repaired at corners, no loss except to final leaf, which is repaired w. a bit of loss to about seven lines. Second last leaf repaired at margin and w. repaired tear to midlle, no loss. Ff. (8), CC, CCIII (In Librum I. et II. De Anima. Argumentum). The scarce second edition of Ficino's seminal translation of Plotinus' hugely influential "Enneads", which must be regarded as the sum up of the foundation of Neoplatonism; this is the second edition of the first appearance of the text and thus the second edition of the Latin translation, which originally appeared in 1492 and is very rare.This translation is of the utmost importance to the spreading of Neoplatonism in the Western world, and it gives us an important insight into the revival of Platonism and thereby the spreading of Neoplatinism in the period of its appearance. Plotinus (204-270) "may justly be regarded as the true founder of Neo-Platonism, in so far as he perpetuated its principles in a written form" (Sandys, I:343). In the class-room of Plotinus a new and original approach was taken to the interpretations of the later Platonic and Aristotelian commentators, and it is these groundbreaking new ideas that have been preserved as the "Enneads", which is divided in to six groups of nine books. It is Plotinus' student, Porphyry (ca. 233-301-5) that we have to thank for the preservation of these founding books of Neoplatonism. Neoplatonism is a term invented in the 18th century for a school of religious and mystical philosophy, which was founded in the third century and dominated down to the end of Antiquity in the sixth century, when the Emperor Justinian closed the Neoplatonic Academy (529). Neoplatonic teaching revolved around a renewed study of the teachings of Plato that were now combined with the doctrines of other schools of Greek philosophy. The school called itself Platonic, but modern historians named it "Neoplatonic" in order to emphasize its differences from Plato. Plato's dialogues were the main philosophical authority, but Plotinus, Ammnius and the other Noeplatonists attempted to fit all of Plato's scattered doctrines into a coherent system and to incorporate other Stoic and Aristotelian ideas into this, thus creating a comprehensive synthesis of Greek thought. As such Neoplatonism came to dominate the final phase of ancient philosophy and bequeathed its heritage to subsequent ages. Neoplatonism must be considered the only really original product of Greek philosophy in the third century, and after having been neglected during the Middle Ages, this original philosophical direction was being discovered in the Renaissance, the philosophy of which came to be hugely dominated by this Neo-Platonism. During the Renaissance a special and profound interest in the teachings of Neoplatonism emerged, focusing on and centered around Plotinus and his "Enneads". Neoplatonism, first in the translation of Ficino, whose work was of the utmost importance to the reconciling of the philosophy of Plato directly with Christianity, and later with the printing of the original Greek text (1580), came to hugely influence Renaissance philosophy, humanism and theology. Thus much Renaissance thought stemmed from the reading of Plotinus, the greatest of the Neoplatonists. As the actual founder of Neoplato [Attributes: Signed Copy; Hard Cover]

Mr. Wheat has sought out every map, manuscript or printed, relating to the Transmississippi West before 1861, and has selected the most interesting and important. Thes | |
