Greek Gnomic Poetry.) SENTENTIAE
singulis versibus contentae, iuxta ordinem literarum, ex diversis poetis. Adiecta est ad finem Latina interpretatio.
|
Paris: Ex officina Rob. Stephani. , 1540 - FIRST EDITION, some browning (more substantial to last few leaves), title slightly dusty, pp. [48], 8vo., early nineteenth-century calf, boards with a blind dentelle border inside a double blind fillet, backstrip with five raised bands, second compartment gilt-lettered direct, the rest with a blind flower tool, joints and head of backstrip neatly renewed, hinges relined to match, a touch of rubbing at extremities, older bookplate preserved on front pastedown, stamp of Bibliotheca Heberiana with purchase note to initial blank, good The first edition of this collection of one-line maxims or gnomai monostichoi, made by Robert Estienne; another (Schreiber 236) appeared under the imprint of Robert II in 1566. The pithy sayings taken from Greek poets are printed first in Greek and then in Latin, and organised under headings such as Life, Death, Drunkenness, Beauty, Friends, and so forth. This copy was sold as lot 3833 for 4 shillings in the White Knights sale, and there bought by Richard Heber, with his stamp and purchase note. The library at White Knights was built by George Spencer, Marquess of Blandford and later fifth Duke of Marlborough (who famously paid a record £2260 for the ‘Valdarfer Boccaccio’ in 1812); when circumstances compelled him to sell his library in 1819, Richard Heber bought a number of volumes, including this one, to add to his own massive collection. The Bibliotheca Heberiana filled six houses in five cities, and was dispersed in sixteen sales in the 1830s, marking the end of the era of great bibliomaniacs. This edition is rare: we have been able to trace only two copies in the UK, both in Oxford, while Worldcat gives Lyon and Berlin only. It is not in Adams or Schreiber.

[MICHELANGELO]/SCULTORI, Adamo
Michael Angelus Bonarotus pinxit. Adam Sculptor incidit
|
Rome, 1540. Rare first edition of the complete suite of engravings of Michelangelo!s frescoes for the Sistine Chapel by the Mantuan engraver Adamo Scultori, the earliest comprehensive graphic record of this ceiling. Of art historical interest on two counts, the series was an important means for the dissemination of designs that revolutionized Renaissance painting. It also includes the only iconography of the Prophet Jonah and surrounding figures (nos. 62-65), which Michelangelo had destroyed in 1535 in order to make room for the Last Judgement.

Monographs of the School of American Research and the Museum of New Mexico. Limited to 1000 copies. All issues First editions.br /br /The Florentine Codex is the name given to 12 books created under the supervision of Bernardino de Sahagun between approximately 1540 and 1585. It is a copy of original source materials which are now lost, perhaps destroyed by the Spanish authorities who confiscated Sahagun's manuscripts. The original source materials were records of conversations and interviews with indigenous sources in Tlatelolco, Texcoco, and Tenochtitlan. The Florentine Codex is primarily a Nahuatl language text, written by trilingual Nahuatl, Spanish and Latin Aztec students of Sahagun. This Nahuatl text is written on the right side of the codex. Sections of this text were translated into Spanish, and written in the left column. However, many sections were not translated and some only summarized in their translation. In their place, the Florentine Codex has roughly 1,800 illustrations done by Aztec emtlacuilos/em using European techniques. Some of the Spanish translation was censored or otherwise rewritten by Sahagun. Perhaps more than any other source, the Florentine Codex has been the major source of Aztec life in the years before the Spanish conquest even though a complete copy of the Florentine Codex, with all illustrations, was not published until 1979. Before then, only the censored and rewritten Spanish translation had been available. There is also a Spanish-only version of Sahagun's document. This copy was taken to Europe in 1580 by Rodrigo de Sequera, and is also referred to as the Sequera manuscript. The Spanish text was the basis for the Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana (General History of the Things of New Spain) which is kept at the Laurentian Library in Florence. The Codex Matritense is a copy and compilation from the same sources as the Florentine Codex, corresponding to the material recompiled in Tlatelolco and Texcoco in Nahuatl. It has five books, and includes 175 illustrations. It is a very heavily censored translation of the Florentine Codex by Sahagun himself, done to appeal to the Spanish authorities. The two codices are housed in the Library of the Royal Palace and the Royal History Museum, in Madrid. Other names include the Codices Matritense and the Madrid Codex (not to be confused with the Maya Madrid Codex. A short version of this document, emBreve compendio de los soles idolatricos que los indios desta Nueva Espana usaban en tiempos de su infidelidad/em ("Short Compendium of the Idolatry Used by the New Spain Indians during their Unfaithfulness"), was sent by Sahagun to Pope Pius V.br /br /George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview.

BORDONE, Benedetto
Isolario di Benedetto Bordone Nel qual si ragiona di tutte l'Isole del mondo
|
Venice: Francesco Di Leno, 1540. * Adams 2483 (same collation as 1534 ed); Theatrum Orbis Terrarum facsimile edition edited by R.A. Skelton; see Harrisse, Bibliotheca americana vetustissima, no. 187; Sabin 6417; for the 1547 edition, see Mortimer, Italian Sixteenth Century Books, no. 82.. Small folio. (10), 74 ff. including woodcut title-page, 2 full-page and 4 double-page maps and many maps in the text. Bound in early yap-edged vellum. Bottom border of both dbl-page maps cropped as often, with some loss to lowermost island on second; some colored residue in margin of four leaves, otherwise a bright copy.Third edition of the Isolario, containing the !gionta del Monte del Oro novamente ritrovato,! mentioned on the title-page, the earliest description of Pizzaro!s conquest of Peru in book form. (There exists a newsletter describing the conquest separately published in Venice before February, 1534.)The isolario, or !book of islands!, was a cartographic form introduced and developed in Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries. Like the portolano, or pilot-book, to which it was related, it had its origin in the Mediterranean, as an illustrated guide for travellers in the Aegean Archipelago and the Levant. Bordone!s Isolario was the second isolario to be printed and the first to give prominence to the transatlantic discoveries. Skelton quotes Almagia as saying that it is, in fact, !the earliest complete work of its kind to have been produced by the printing-press in Italy or anywhere else.!The Isolario is divided into three books, devoted respectively to the !islands and peninsulas! of the western ocean, to the Mediterranean, and to islands of the Indian Ocean and the Far East. While this order corresponds very roughly to that of Ptolemy, it gives conspicuous priority to the discoveries across the Atlantic. In addition to a page of diagrams illustrating the construction of a circular world map and windroses of 'ancient' and 'modern type', there are three general maps: Europe, the Aegean, and an oval world map. Scattered through the text, in the appropriate places, are 107 small maps, plans or views including a nearly three-quarter page plan of Mexico City before the conquest of Cortez!which qualifies because it is an island.According to Cortazzi, in his Isles of Gold Antique Maps of Japan: !In 1528 the Italian cartographer Benedetto Bordone (1460-1531) produced an atlas of islands printed in Italy by Nicolo d'Aristotle. In it he included a small map of an island which he called "Ciampagu", presumably another version of Cipangu. This would seem to be the earliest European printed individual map of Japan.! (p. 15)Bordone was a Paduan illuminator and wood-engraver who was apparently established at Venice by 1494. The first edition of his isolario appeared at Venice in 1528 and the last ca. 1565.

Die Geschichte vom Verlorenen Sohn ist das erste Stück dieser Reihe; wahrscheinlich bereits um 1510 entstanden, dann nach dem Erscheinen der Vulgata-Ausgabe des Erasmus korrigiert und 1537 in 's-Hertogenbosch zum ersten Mal im Druck erschienen..

Rüdem (six) and one other printer the works deal with the religious disputes between the Catholic prince Heinrich, the Younger of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel (Luthers "Hans Worst") with Duke Ernst von Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the city of Braunschweig. The onset of the Reformation in autumn 1528 caused Duke Ernst of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the city of Braunschweig to be at variance with his sovereign, Duke Henry the Younger of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel (Luthers "Hans Worst"), From 1493 up to then the city had managed to resist numerous sieges either with the help of the Hanseatic League or by paying large sums of money. Later Duke Henry would lay siege to Braunschweig in 1550 and 1553.

MAESTRO FP (ATTIVO IN ITALIA NELLA PRIMA META' DEL XVI SECOLO)
LA FORZA 1540
|
"Acquaforte, circa 1540, monogrammata in lastra in basso a sinistra. Da un soggetto del Parmigianino. Buona prova, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, rifilata al rame o con sottili margini, leggera abrasione all'angolo inferiore sinistro, per il resto in ottimo stato di conservazione. Il soggetto e' un'allegoria di una delle Sette arti liberali. Ignota a tutto oggi l'identita' del monogrammista FP, che diversi studiosi hanno tentato di accostare ad Antonio Fantuzzi. I suoi lavori derivano quasi tutti da disegni del Parmigianino, e proprio per questo motivo che lo accomuna al Fantuzzi, esiste la possibilita' che si tratti dello stesso autore. Altri studi sulla maniere di incidere affermano invece che potrebbe trattarsi dello stesso Mazzola, teoria che tuttavia ci sentiamo di escludere. Bibliografia: Bartsch 14. Dimensioni 71x101" Etching, 1540 circa, signed with monogram on lower left. After a subject by Parmigianino. A fine work, printed on contemporary laid paper without watermark, trimmed to platemark or with thin margins, light abrasion on lower left corner, otherwise on excellent condition. The subject is the allegory of one of the Seven Liberal Arts. The real identity of Monogrammist FP is still unknown, though some scholars tried to match him with Antonio Fantuzzi. Almost all of his works derive from Parmigianino's drawings, characteristic he shares with Fantuzzi and that still makes people think they might be the same person. Some studies on the peculiar way of carving state that he might be Mazzola himself, a theory we however exclude. Bartsch 14. Dimensioni 71x101.

Bookplate of George Abrams. Adams C2060 (2nd title); Mortimer 121 (1st title) . 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

In alternativa si potrebbe trattare di una nuova edizione composta riga su riga sulla precedente. Esistono altri due stati con datazione 1540: il primo con secondo gruppo dell'impronta O.O. (IT\ICCU\RMSE\009389), il secondo con secondo gruppo **co (Edit16 CNCE 31395). La nostra variante è censita in ICCU (IT\ICCU\BA1E\011480). Ultima carta sciolta.

Sebastien Munster
Tabula Europae IIII [German Empire & Baltic] (1st edition!)
|
Detailed map of the German Empire, Baltic and part of the Balkans, extending to the CarpathianMountains and the Danube. Shows are remarkable depiction of the region, as known in Ptolemy's time. This is the 1st edition, second state of Munster's map, which can be distinguished by the inclusion of the 2nd printer's device in the title. Munster's Geographia (1st issued in 1540) and Cosmographia (1548) are the most important and widely copied geographical works of the middle part of the 16th Century and represented for most Europeans the first accessible imagery (maps and views) of the World.

Cuspinianus frequently references past scholars including Cicero, Herodotus, and Plutarch. The illustrator, Heinrich Vogtherr the elder (1490-1556), was a skilled woodcutter, painter, draughtsman, writer, and publisher. He cloned and published the works of Albrecht Durer as well as publishing his own version of Hans Holbein?s ?Dance of Death? in 1544.

ex officina Antonii Putelleti, Veronae 1540 - Folio piccolo; carte 70 con errori nella numerazione ed una grande tavola silografica a quadruplo foglio più volte ripiegata, raffigurante il teatro romano; ritratto dell'autore al verso del frontespizio, 29 grandi silografie perlopiù a piena o doppia pagina.

Le illustrazioni sono di Giovanni Caroto, pittore veronese e raffigurano archi e antichità romane, fra cui l'anfiteatro ed il teatro.

Presenta numerosi piccoli difetti, generalmente un po' vissuto, con alone d'umido, qualche carta un po' rifilata, alcuni piccoli restauri di vario genere, rilegato con utilizzo anche di materiale antico di provenienza liturgica al marg. int., qualche mancanza, evidente alla grande tavola ripiegata, restauro al dorso.

The author Giachini (fl. 1527-1546) was a physician whose DE ACUTORUM MORBORUM CURATIONE DISPUTATIO appeared in the same year, also issued by Gryphius, and the copy examined by Durling contains the two bound together (along with two other works). Nevertheless, the LIBELLUS has a separate title-page and pagination, and there is no reason to suppose that it could not have been issued separately, however slight a work it may be. In fact it is a charming series of 86 questions on a variety of natural (particularly human) phenomena, including interesting speculations on sexual appetite, the smell of human excrement, differences between men, women, the old, the young, etc

|
Robert Redman, and Thomas Petyt, for Thomas Berthelet, London 1540 - An extremely important early Bible, one of the earliest Bibles printed in English (Herbert 52). Black letter. The first Great Bible version printed in England in its entirety. The first printing of the Great Bible was started at the Regnault Press in Paris but was suppressed by the French authorities at the end of 1538 and many of the sheets confiscated. Grafton and Coverdale managed to save some and were able to transport the necessary presses, type and workmen to London, where the edition was finished in April 1539, one year before the publication of this edition, smaller in size and with some corrections and revision. Bound in later, probably 17th century panelled and blindstamped straight grained morocco with a later reback. Some wear to extremities and surface blemishes. One or two small losses to leather. Front innher hinge weakening. Bookplate of William Henry Dutton to front pastedown. 57 lines to the full column. General title in facsimile. Missing first four preliminary leaves, first eight leaves of Genesis, Iii7, Iii8, Kkk1, Kkk8, Lll1, Lll8 and quire Nnn at end. In total 26 leaves missing from 556. Starts on Genesis leaf x. Full collation would be +4, A-B8, C-K8, L6, M-Z8, aa-dd8, Aa8-Rr8, Ss6, tt6, Vv-Zz8, Aaa-Eee8, Fff6, Aaa-Nnn8 (with extra sheet Hhh+8 before Hhh). Top margin a little cropped but usually not affecting headlines. Fore margin cropped occasionally just impinging on margin notes. Occasional short closed handling tears to margins. Occasional darkening or minor soiling along gutter. First 16 leaves with repairs to gutter. Some worming to gutter towards front. B8 with some loss to bottom margin with loss of some words. D3 with loss of a few words to one corner. Some mild stains and soiling to first 10-20 leaves but most of the text is fairly clean. Minor couple of holes with loss of a few letters to H7-H8. Small loss to bottom margina of O1 with no loss of text. Small tear with minor loss, with paper repair to verso of U1, with no loss of text. Paper strengthening to gutter margin of Ee1.

Johannes Actuarius
De Medicamentorum Compositione
|
1540 - All original, 1540, 7 leaves, 240 pp, Probably second edition. These are the fifth and sixth books of the Methodus Medendi. The entire Methodus medendi was not published before 1554. Byzantine medicine comes to a brilliant end with the works of Joannes Actuarius (end of 13th and beginning of 14th centuries). A writer of nice perceptions, well grounded in classic literature, versed in philosophy; a physician endowed with keen powers of observation and sound judgment, he was far in advance of his age and environment and addressed himself to posterity. He was the author of several meritorius works. The most important, the Methodus medendi, shows that Joannes, led by the Hippocratic spirit, aimed at individualism in treatment, preferred, where possible, simple and mild remedies to the customary concotions or drastic measures, and that he was able, by unbiassed observation, to make many valuable additions t he sum of clinical knowledge. This copy does not contain the Succidaneorum medicaminum tabula, indicated on the title page (neither does the copy in the Surgeon General's Library contain it, see cat., second series I, p. 139.appears to be complete.binding very tight.boards and insides are very clean.has an owner's name: Zacarius Actuarius.photos available.extra shipping cost required.

Sebastian Munster
Tabula Asiae X [India]
|
Important early map of part of India and the Indian Ocean, extending north to the sources of the Indus and Ganges Rivers, based upon Ptolemy. The map is unchanged from the 1540 edition. Munster's Geographia was a cartographic landmark, including not only Ptolemaic maps, but also a number of landmark modern maps, including the first separate maps of the 4 continents, the first map of England and the earliest obtainable map of Scandinavia. Munster dominated cartographic publication during the mid-16th Century. Munster is generally regarded as one of the most important map makers of the 16th Century. Munster was a linguist and mathematician, who initially taught Hebrew in Heidelberg. He issued his first mapping of Germany in 1529, after which he issued a call geographical information about Germany to scholars throughout the country. The response was better than hoped for, and included substantial foreign material, which supplied him with up to date, if not necessarily accurate maps for the issuance of his Geographia in 1540.

Tabula Asiae III [Black & Capian Sea Region]

Excellent example of Munster's Ptolemaic map of the region between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea extending south to include all of Armenia Maior and part of Armenia Minoris. Munster's map shows Noahs Arc in the Caspian Sea, believed to have come to rest in a mountain in Armenia according to the map. Shows Armenia Maior, Iberia, Albania, Colchis, Porte Albanie, the Euphratis River, the Tigris, Assyriae, and many other place names in the cradle of civilization. The map is unchanged from the 1540 edition. Munster's Geographia was a cartographic landmark, including not only Ptolemaic maps, but also a number of landmark modern maps, including the first separate maps of the 4 continents, the first map of England and the earliest obtainable map of Scandinavia. Munster dominated cartographic publication during the mid-16th Century. Munster is generally regarded as one of the three most important map makers of the 16th Century, along with Ortelius and Mercator.

Comoedia Acolasti titulo inscripta, de filio prodigo, . Verba prodigi resipientis, Lucae 15. Pater, peccaui in coelum & coram te, iam non sum dignus uocari filius tuus
|
Apud Mauricium de Porta,, Paris 1540 - Unbound pamphlet 8vo . Scarce early edition of this neo-Latin school drama by the Dutch humanist, Guilelmus Gnapheus (Willem de Volder: 1493 - 1568) who was a supporter Luthers. He wrote his drama "Acolastus" in 1529 after the models of Plautus and Terence on the theme of the Prodigal Son which was a popular motif of the period. It was one of the first biblical school dramas to use theological topics to deal with contemporary disputes. The work was very popular and ended up in a number of play collections and was even believed to be a Jesuit drama with the article in the New Catholic Encyclopedia (vol. VII, 894a) grouping it with other similar Jesuit works and saying it was first published in 1560 (probably referring to a later play collection). There appears to be two issues of this edition; one with the last two leaves incorrectly numbered 98-99 (with the reversed 6) and our issue with the numbering corrected. The OCLC only locates one copy of this edition at the University of Illinois (also lacking last blank; with the 98-99 numbering) 69, pp. [1] blank page, without last presumably blank leaf. Few minor on title-page. Nice copy. § Not in Adms or the BM/STC French.

Elizabethan Instrument Makers: The Origins of the London Trade in Precision Instrument Making
|
OUP Oxford - Europe in the sixteenth century experienced a period of unprecedented vitality and innovation in the spheres of science and commerce. The Americas had been discovered and the colonizing nations had an urgent need for mathematical instruments for navigation and surveying. The Elizabethan age saw the establishment of the precision instrument-making trade in London, from 1540, a trade that would become world-famous in the succeeding two centuries.The first of a group of London makers was an immigrant from Flanders, Thomas Gemini, succeeded by the Englishman, Humfrey Cole.It has proved possible to find over 100 surviving mathematical instruments, signed and unsigned, made by a group of London.

(Wien, Joh. Singriener d.Ä.), (1540). 1 Bl. Folio. Helmut W.Lang, in: Österr.Jb.für Exlibris und Gebrauchsgraphik LXII (2001), Seite 9, Abb. 1. 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.
