Leonhart Fuchs Ricinus, Plate 340
Basel 1542 - Herbals are books containing the names and descriptions of plants and their medicinal properties. The herbal had declined during the Middle Ages, western European herbals of that era were based on the works of classical authors, in particular Pedanios Dioscorides, the ancient Greek writer who was the father of medical botany. This would change with the publication of Leonhart Fuchs? illustrated herbal De historia stirpium commentarii insigne. The plan and organization of the herbal was entirely original with Fuchs, although the work did include some material derived from his Classical predecessors. Fuchs? De historia stirpium represented an impressive first step from medieval superstition to modern botany. Leonhart Fuchs, a German doctor of medicine, deplored the terrible state of medical practice during his lifetime. Most doctors of his time relied on information from illiterate apothecaries, whom were, in turn, depending upon the peasants who gathered roots and herbs for them. Fuchs realized that patients could easily be poisoned rather than cured because of improper identification of plants. Therefore he compiled this herbal to improve the German pharmacopoeia with a reference of accurate illustrations and identifications of medicinal herbs in both German and Latin. The result was a book of great splendor, without equal among sixteenth-century herbals. It is illustrated with 511 hand-colored woodcut figures, all original and depicted from life. Fuchs looked to living plants for his illustrations, a departure from common practice at that time, but then ?improved? them by removing any natural imperfections and by showing a plant in the flowering and fruiting stages simultaneously. These figures established a standard of botanical illustration that has lasted to the present day, and more than 100 species were illustrated for the first time (including 12 New World plants such as maize, kidney bean, chili pepper, cactus, and tobacco). During Fuchs? lifetime, the herbal and its various abridgments went through 39 printings in Latin, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. This hand colored wood-cut engraving, 14.25" x 9.25", is in excellent condition with a slight water stain in the lower left corner and evidence of verso page text. Ricinus is commonly known as the Castorl Oil Plant and is used as an oil and for medicinal purposes. This engraving is original hand coloring from 1542 and has perfect oxidation of the copper in the green pigment, which goes idyllically through the paper. De Historia Stirpium is one of the earliest legitimate medicinal textbooks of its time. [Bookseller: Arader Galleries San Francisco]

Schon, Erhard. Pfintzing, Melchior [Maximillian I, of Germany] Theuerdank [Die Geuerlicheiten und eins tells der Geschichten des ... Ritters herr Tewrdanckhs
Single leaf on paper., Augsburg:. First Edition.. Light paper toning and a few light spots.. Johann Schoensperger,. Woodcut #34 ascribed to Erhard Schon by Dodgson I,p419.Two men in the fore-ground watch a man with a crossbow shoot at a bird in a tree. A another man reacts by falling backwards. This famously beautiful font was designed by the court calligrapher and personal secretary to Maximillian -- Vinzenz Rockner and cut by Jost Dienecker of Antwerp. The Theuerdank fraktur is almost "modern" and was the model for many subsequent designs. It is embellished with ornamental flourishes . Erhard Schšn (c1491-1542). "Scholars have attributed some 1,200 illustrations for 116 books and about two hundred separate woodcuts to Erhard Schšn, making him one of the era's most prolific woodblock designers. He probably took his earliest instruction from his father, a minor Nuremberg painter, then studied Albrecht DŸrer's prints while living in the artist's house for several years." [Getty-on-line."One of the most important patrons of art in the sixteenth century was the German emperor Maximilian I. He has been noted as the last great knight of Europe and the "patron of humanistic romanticism".1 His life is best known to us today because he had such an interest in the arts, mainly as a means of immortalizing his existence. The Theuerdank is one of three large books that Maximilian commissioned. The other two, Weisskunig and Freydal were to be the first and third installments, respectively, of a trilogy highlighting Maximilian's life. Only Theuerdank was published before his death.Theuerdank, literally meaning "The Knight of Adventurous Thoughts", is an allegory in the form of epic verse that retells the adventures of Maximilian as he traveled to woo his future wife, Mary of Burgundy. Although she died after only five years of marriage, Maximilian regarded the years of his courtship as the ideal romantic interlude and the epitome of a knightly adventure. Mary was indeed the daughter of his own knightly hero, Charles the Bold of Burgundy. The book is largely fictitious, characterizing Maximilian as a chivalric knight in the Arthurian sense. The text is supposedly written by Melchior Pfintzing, a friend of Maximilian, but Maximilian himself probably composed the majority of the work... VD 16 B1649-51. Fairfax/Murray 330.

M�nster, Sebastian (1488-1552) [Europe] Europa Prima Nova Tabula
. [Basel: Heinrich Petri in the 'Geographia Universalis', 1542]. Woodcut map, in excellent condition. 11 3/4 x 15 1/8 inches. A very rare first-state example of M�nster's very fine map of Europe, a veritable masterpiece of Renaissance cartography Europa Prima XVII Nova Tabula, depicts the continent oriented to the south, an aspect common to many Renaissance maps of Europe. The continent is depicted from Iberia in the west to "Constantinopel" (Istanbul) in the east, and from Denmark and Scotland in the north to the Pillars of Hercules in the south. The map is quite geographically advanced, especially considering that it preceded the triangulated surveys conducted later in the century. All major cities are represented by pictorial symbols, and rivers, mountain ranges and forests are elegantly illustrated. A caravel graces the waters of the Bay of Biscay. M�nster was a brilliant polymath and one of the most important intellectuals of the Renaissance era. Educated at T�bingen, his surviving college notebooks, Kollegienbuch, reveal a mind of insatiable curiosity, especially with regards to cosmography. M�nster later became a professor of Hebrew at Heidelberg, and then from 1529 at the University of Basle. In the 1530s, he turned his attentions to translating Ptolemy's Geography, adding new material that related to the lands newly discovered in the Americas and Asia. The result was the publication of his highly regarded Geographia Universalis, first printed in 1540. The present map is from the second edition, but still represents the first-state of the map, as the same unaltered woodblock from the initial printing was employed in the production of the second edition. M�nster was also a trend-setter in his ideas regarding design and layout of maps, and he was one of the first to create space on his woodblocks for the insertion of place names in metal type. M�nster later published his Cosmographia (1544, revised 1550), a monumental encyclopedic book of contemporary knowledge and legend that became one of the most widely read books in Europe.

Sebastian Munster Tabula Asiae XII [Sri Lanka -- with Elephant]
Terrific map of Taprobana, the island of Ceylon, which was sometimes confused with Sumatra on earlymaps. Taprobana was an important post for trade between the east and the west, and was drawn too large on many maps because of its importance. Marco Polo states: It has a circumference of some 2400 miles. And I assure you that it used to be bigger than this. For it was once as much as 3500 miles, as appears in the mariners' charts of this sea. But the north wind blows so strongly in these parts that is has submerged a great part of this island under the sea. Many myths existed concerning Taprobana. It was believed to be the burial place of Adam, on Mount Serendib. The Great Khan reportedly made a mission to the Island in 1284 to retrieve Adam's teeth and other artifacts. From the 1542 edition of Munster's Geographia, one of the most important works of the 16th Century.�� Sebastien Munster is generally regarded as one of the 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. � (Basle, 1542) [color: Uncolored, size: 13.5 x 10 inches, condition: VG+] [Bookseller: Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc]

Most doctors of his time relied on information from illiterate apothecaries, whom were, in turn, depending upon the peasants who gathered roots and herbs for them. Fuchs realized that patients could easily be poisoned rather than cured because of improper identification of plants. Therefore he compiled this herbal to improve the German pharmacopoeia with a reference of accurate illustrations and identifications of medicinal herbs in both German and Latin. The result was a book of great splendor, without equal among sixteenth-century herbals. It is illustrated with 511 hand-colored woodcut figures, all original and depicted from life. Fuchs looked to living plants for his illustrations, a departure from common practice at that time, but then “improved” them by removing any natural imperfections and by showing a plant in the flowering and fruiting stages simultaneously. These figures established a standard of botanical illustration that has lasted to the present day, and more than 100 species were illustrated for the first time (including 12 New World plants such as maize, kidney bean, chili pepper, cactus, and tobacco). During Fuchs’ lifetime, the herbal and its various abridgments went through 39 printings in Latin, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. This hand colored wood-cut engraving, 14.25" x 9.25", is in very good condition with slight staining on the lower left corner and evidence of verso page text. Angelica Sylvestris, also referred to as Wild Angelica is a tall flowering plant and has been used over time to prevent scurvy and in dyeing. This engraving is original hand coloring from 1542 and has perfect oxidation of the copper in the green pigment, which goes idyllically through the paper. De Historia Stirpium is one of the earliest legitimate medicinal textbooks of its time [Bookseller: Arader Galleries San Francisco]

Sebastien Munster Tabula Asiae I
Rare first edition of�Munster's Ptolemaic map of Asia Minor and parts of the Black Sea and Cyprus. From the 1542 edition of Munster's Geographia, one of the most important works of the 16th Century.�Sebastien Munster is generally regarded as one of the 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.

Charlotte Guillard, Paris 1542 - Contemporary calf, gilt tooled (corners damaged, head of spine chipped; but very sound) 16mo . Fine pocket edition of Justinian's Institutiones and related legal texts from his Corpus Juris Civilis translated and edited by the German jurist and Hellenist, Gregor Haloander (1501-1531), who published several legal works and translations. Justinian I (483?- 565), Emperor of the East, is best known for the collection legal texts that he had commissioned which became the cornerstone of Roman law. This is a scarce production by the very highly regarded woman renaissance printer Charlotte Guillard; see B. Beech, Charlotte Guillard: A Sixteenth- Century Business Woman, in: "Renaissance Quarterly," 36 (1983), pp. 345- 367. This is the earliest edition of Justinian's Institutiones which Charlotte published and reprinted in 1550 and 1553; see A. Erdmann, My Gracious Silence; Women in the mirror of 16th century printing in Western Europe, page 247. "We know that women were essential in the transmission of skills and materials from one generation of craftsmen to the next. Printer's daughters who had some literacy were attractive wives for other printers. Furthermore, marriages of daughters from printing families could form important social and economic networks . "Charlotte Guillard, spent, by her account, fifty years as a printer. After sixteen years married to the printer Berthold Rembolt, she managed his business from 1518 until 1520 when she remarried Claude Chevallon. . With her second husband, she published other works that contained recognition of both his and her contribution. . when Chevallon died in 1537, Guillard took over the business, managing it for twenty years until her death in 1557. . she published . under her own name 'At the House of Charlotte Guillard'. Several works she published contained praise of her expertise and the accuracy of her publications" (Susan Broomhall, Women and the Book Trade in Sixteenth-Century France, p. 55). The present work was published under her own imprint (Ex officina Carola Guillard) and is rare with the OCLC locating only one copy in the US (University of Illinois) and one in Europe 2 volumes in 1. 80, [60], 248, [4], leaves (second part bound first).

EUSTATHIUS Thessalonicensis (um 1125-um 1195/1198) Parekbolai eis ton Homeru Iliada kai Odisseian [Graece (Commentarii in Homeri Iliadem et Odysseam). Hrsg. von Nicola Maiorano].
Rom, (Antonio Blado, Benedetto Giunta und Nicolo Sofianos), 1542-50.. 4 Bde. Folio (324 x 225 mm). Mit grosser Holzschnitt-Druckermarke auf den drei Titeln und 3 gr�sseren Holzschnitt-Wappen in den Widmungsbl�ttern des vierten Bandes.

Z. mit Ledereinlagen, Deckelrahmen aus Doppelfileten und Eckornamenten in Goldpr�gung, im Zentrum eingerahmter Namen Vyner Gilbert in Goldpr�gung (R�ckenvergoldung stark berieben).. [HOMER -]Editio princeps der hochgesch�tzten Kommentare zu Homers Ilias und Odyssee durch den "Vollender der Homer-Erkl�rung" (Frank Hieronymus). Die Einzigartigkeit von Eustathius' monumentalen Kommentaren zu den beiden Epen Homers, der als der gr�sste Dichter aller Zeiten galt, liegt auch darin begr�ndet, dass er noch Scholien exzerpieren konnte, die seither als verloren gelten. Als namhaftester Vertreter der Philologie in der Zeit der Komnenen (1118-1180) besticht Eustathios mit seinen enzyklop�dischen Kenntnissen. Er behandelt ausf�hrlich Geschichte, Geographie, Sprache und Mythologie der Ilias und der Odyssee. Nebst den Homer-Kommentaren hinterliess der in Konstantinopel geborene Eusthatios weitere Paraphrasen, Scholien, Kommentare sowie Briefe. Herausgeber dieser Ausgabe, die auch Homers Text enth�lt, war der aus Neapel stammende, bis 1553 in der Vaticana wirkende, Philologe Nicola Maiorano (latinisiert Nicolas Maioranus). Das dreispaltig gedruckte Inhaltsverzeichnis, das nahezu den gesamten vierten Band beansprucht, besorgte Matteo Devaris, ein Sch�ler des Gr�zisten Marco Musuru, Erzbischof von Epidaurus. Der erste Band wurde in einer etwas gr�sseren. sehr sch�nen griechischen Type des Francesco Priscianese gedruckt. Die ab dem zweiten Band verwendete griechische Type schnitt Giovanni Onorio 1545 im Auftrag von Kardinal Marcello Cervini (1501-1555), der von 1534 bis 1549 der Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana vorstand und nicht nur das Papier sowie die Korrektur des ersten Bandes bezahlte, sondern den Druckern Antonio Blado, Benedetto Giunta und Nicolo Sofianos mit einem zinslosen Darlehen von 600 Scudi auch bei der Finanzierung der B�nde II-IV beistand. Der Wechsel zur etwas kleineren Type - und der dadurch verursachten Verz�gerung der Drucklegung der restlichen B�nde - findet seine Ursache in den enormen Druckkosten, die damit verringert werden konnten. Die Geschichte dieser zweiten Type beschreibt Alberto Tinto in: The History of a 16th-Century Greek Type (The Library, 5th series, vol. 25 [1970], S. 285f.:" ... without any doubt the finest edition to have emerged from Cervini's papal printing-houses"). Die Druckauflage betrug 1'275 Exemplare, wovon die allermeisten Exemplare an Buchh�ndler oder Kommission�re in Norditalien und Frankreich verkauft wurden (siehe Leon Dorez, Le Cardinal Marcello Cervini et l'imprimerie a Rome (1539-1550), in: Melanges d'Archeologie et d'Histoire XII [1892], S. 289f.). - Die ersten beiden Titelbl�tter hinterlegt, Bd. I zu Beginn minimal braunfleckig im Kopf, die ersten sechs Bl. von Bd. III mit alt restaurierter kleiner Fehlstelle (Verlust weniger Buchstaben) in der unteren H�lfte, durchgehender Wasserflecken im Kopf, wenige Lagen gegen Schluss im Indexband papierbedingt gebr�unt, insgesamt ein vorz�gliches, komplettes und dekorativ gebundenes Exemplar. Wappenexlibris der Earls of Macclesfield, Shirburn Castle (Oxford). Mortimer, Italian, 176; Bernoni, Dei Torresani, Blado e Ragazzoni (1890), Nr. 55; Legrand, Bibliotheque Hellenique I, 237f. ("Les exemplaires bien conserves sont d'une tres grande rarete"); Ebert 9947 ("sch�ne, sehr seltene und wichtige Ausgabe"); Sandys 421; Morison, Marcello Cervini Pope Marchellus II Bibliography's Patron Saint, in: Italia Medioevale e Umanistica V (1962), 301f. Editio princeps of the most important and highly esteemed cmpilation of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey by the most learned man of his age. The four volumes rank "among the most splendid monuments in the world of Greek erudition and of Greek printing ... not only the first edition, but the most splendidly executed performance" (Dibdin). Eustatihus' commentaries embody much valuable scholarship which has not survived elsewhere. They are of great lenght and deal with the history, geography, language and mythology of the two epic works by Homer who was considered the greatest of all poets ever. Apart of these two most prominent commentaries Eustathius wrote other paraphrases, scholia, commentaries and letters. The four volume set - which also offers Homer's own text - was edited by the Naples born philologist Nicola Maiorano (latinized Nicolas Maioranus) who until 1553 worked for the Vaticana Library. The extensive and important index printed in three columns and covering almost the whole fourth volume was compiled by Matteo Devaris, a pupil of the Hellenist Marco Musuru, archbishop of Epidaurus. "Eustathius' great commentary on Homer has led modern scholars to regard him as one of the most instructive of the Byzantines" (J. E. Sandys). The beautiful well-known greek type by Francesco Priscianese of the first volume, ending on page 620, was replaced in the other three volumes by a new, somewhat smaller type newly cut by Giovanni Onorio in 1545 by order of cardinal Marcello Cervini, who was head of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana from 1534 to 1549. Cervini not only had paid for the paper and proof correction of the first volume but also gave an interest-free loan of 600 Scudi to the two printers Antonio Blado and Benedetto Giunta for the final three volumes. While the story of the new type is described by Alberto Tinto in his: The History of a 16th-Century Greek Type (The Library, 5th series, vol. 25 (1970), p. 285f.:" ... without any doubt the finest edition to have emerged from Cervini's papal printing-houses"), Leon Dorez gives valuable information of the printing of the 1275 copies of Eustathius' work in his: Le Cardinal Marcello Cervini et l'imprimerie a Rome (1539-1550), in: Melanges d'Archeologie et d'Histoire XII [1892], p. 289f.). - The first two title leaves strenghtened, vol. I at beginning with minimal brown stains in upper margins, first six leaves of third volume with small hole (with loss of few letters), old restaured in lower half, waterstained at head throughout in vol. III, a few quires at the end of vol. IV browned; a complete wide margined copy in excellent state of preservations. - 18th centurry sprinkled calf with inlaid, spines on six raised bands, gilt double-fillet border with ornament in corners, central gilt stamp on upper covers with name "vyner gilbert", spine gilding rubbed.

LULLIUS, Raimundus. Two famous tracts by two of the most interesting scholars of the Middle Ages, De secretis naturae, sive quinta essentia libri duo. Hic accesserunt Alberti Magni De mineralibus & rebus metallicis libri quinque. Quae omnia solerti cura repurgata rerum naturae studiosis recens publicata sunt per Gualtherum H. Ryff.
Petrus Schoeffer,, Venice, 1542 - Small 8vo. Contemporary vellum. With 8 woodcuts in the first part, showing an oven and various vessels. 324, (6) pp. Second edition edited by the celebrated Strassburg physician Walter Herman Ryff, of these two famous tracts by Raymond Lullius and Albertus Magnus, two of the most interesting scholars of the Middle Ages. Raymond Lull, famous alchemist and mystic, was born at Palma, on Majorca in Spain, in 1235, and martyred at Bongie in Africa in 1315. He was one of the most energetic and versatile characters of his time. In his youth he was a pleasure-loving courtier, if not a libertine, initiating by the composition of love verses the long series of poems and treatises in Catalan, which make him a prominent figure in the history of mediaeval Spanish literature. At the age of about 30 he underwent a conversion not unlike that of St. Francis and thenceforth devoted himself to learning and religion. The combination of learning and religion was characteristic of Lull as he tried not to distinguish between natural and supernatural. His main object became the conversion of the Muslims and the rescue of the Holy Sepulcher, so he studied oriental languages and Arabic philosophy, especially that of Averroes, which he tried to disprove. He teached at Majorca, Paris and Montpellier, but he was also active as a field missionary converting Saracens, going to Africa several times, where he eventually was stoned to death. He became the Saint of the Balear's but never was canonized. His main contribution to science was his logical machinery and his graphic method or 'art'. The work by Albertus Magnus, here added to that of Lull, belongs to the authentic writings of this author, whose fame gave raise to many pseudo-works. Thorndike thoroughly analyses the present work, and points out the stress laid by the author on personal investigation and experiment. Albertus Magnus, Count of Bollstoedt, was born at Lauingen on the Donau in ca. 1193, and he died at Cologne in 1280. From the order of the Dominicans, he teached at Paris where he had a.o. Thomas Aquino among his pupils. He was Provincial of his order and bishop of Ratisbonne. He was a profound Cabbalist and a very learned chemist. The present work is fine produced by Peter Schoeffer's youngest son.

Editorial Tirant Lo Blanch 1036170 - El prop�sito de esta monograf�a es analizar el r�gimen jur�dico del arrendamiento de buques a casco desnudo o armados y equipados; dos modalidades de contratos de Derecho mar�timo que durante un largo per�odo de tiempo han sido consideradas algo infrecuente, principalmente en el Derecho angloamericano. Tal opini�n, sin embargo, resulta ser falsa, porque los arrendamientos "a casco desnudo", o de buques armados y equipados y ciertos arrendamientos m�s o menos mixtos de unos y otros, que no llegan a ser contratos de �"time, charter", o de netamente por viaje, son utilizados por muchos navieros que desean incrementar sus flotas o el tonelaje de las mismas con nuevos buques, sin tener que recurrir a la compra o a la construcci�n de los mismos.Los contratos de mero arrendamiento de buques son distintos de los fletamentos y de los contratos de transporte, ya que su objeto no consiste, nienla conducci�n de pasajeros o mercanc�as, ni tampoco en los servicios de navegaci�n sin cesi�n de la direcci�n n�utica del buque. Por consiguiente, de acuerdo con el Ordenamiento jur�dico espa�ol, se tratar�a, no de contratos de fletamento [arts. 652 y ss., Cdc.], sino de verdaderos contratos de arrendamiento de cosa [arts. 1542 y ss., CC.]. El problema es que las normas legales del C�digo civil espa�ol que por otra parte son, ya, viejas , no se ajustan a las especialidades del arrendamiento cuando recae sobre buques, aunque de todos modos no se puede hacer tabla rase de las mismas, porque son las que proporcionan la base legal para regular estos contratos.Sin embargo, existe otro problema fundamental referido a los conflictos de leyes en los contratos mar�timos, ya que los arrendamientos de buque son en general contratos internacionales. Por tanto, incluso la existencia de formularios y p�lizas especiales [BARECON.-89, HADARA.] es insuficiente para afrontar todos los problemas surgidos de los usos y pr�cticas de la contrataci�n entre propietarios y fletadores o arrendatarios de diversos pa�ses, y referida a buques que arbolan pabellones de diferentes estados. Por consiguiente, es importante conocer las reglas de conflicto aplicables a estos contratos, especialmente las disposiciones contenidas en el Convenio de Roma, de 1980, sobre la Ley aplicable a las Obligaciones Contractuales, y en caso necesario las normas de conflicto contenidas en el C�igo civil espa�ol.

M�nster Sebastian (1488-1552) [Asia] India Extrema XIX; Nova Tabula
. [Basel: Heinrich Petri in the 'Geographia Universalis' 1542]. Woodcut map in excellent condition. 11 3/4 x 15 1/8 inches. The rare first state of M�nster's highly important map of Asia a veritable masterpiece of Renaissance cartography M�nster's India Extrema XIX Nova Tabula is a very elegant map that embraces most of Asia from the Persian Gulf to the Far East. Although largely based on Ptolemy's ancient template it includes some advancements gleaned from recent Portuguese discoveries. The outlines of the Indian subcontinent between the Indus and the Ganges rivers begins to take a recognizable form with "Zaylon" (Sri Lanka) correctly appearing as its own island. The Portuguese outpost of Goa and Calicut the first place where Vasco da Gama landed in 1497 are depicted. Further to the east "Taprobana" (the name Ptolemy gave to Sri Lanka) is also designated as "Sumatra.". On the adjacent Malay Peninsula is the important trading port of "Malaqua" (Malacca). Java is also portrayed but is depicted as two separate islands. "Moloca" (The Moluccas) the Spice Islands that were a major point of contention between Spain and Portugal are shown. The resolution of the dispute was the official purpose of Magellan's epic circumnavigation. The depiction of "Cathay" (China) is shown to be largely predicated on Venetian lore. The seas to the south of the map are adorned with a large sea monster and a mermaid with a bifurcated tail. M�nster was a brilliant polymath and one of the most important intellectuals of the Renaissance era. Educated at T�bingen his surviving college notebooks Kollegienbuch reveal a mind of insatiable curiosity especially with regards to cosmography. M�nster later became a professor of Hebrew at Heidelberg and then from 1529 at the University of Basle. In the 1530s he turned his attention to translating Ptolemy's Geography adding new material that related to the lands newly discovered in the Americas and Asia. The result was the publication of his highly regarded Geographia Universalis first printed in 1540. The present map is from the second edition but still represents the first-state of the map as the same unaltered woodblock from the initial printing was employed in the production of the second edition. M�nster was also a trend-setter in his ideas regarding design and layout of maps and he was one of the first to create space on his woodblocks for the insertion of place names in metal type. M�nster later published his Cosmographia (1544 revised 1550) a monumental encyclopedic book of contemporary knowledge and legend that became one of the most widely read books in Europe.

Leonhart Fuchs Ballote
Basel 1542 - Herbals are books containing the names and descriptions of plants and their medicinal properties. The herbal had declined during the Middle Ages, western European herbals of that era were based on the works of classical authors, in particular Pedanios Dioscorides, the ancient Greek writer who was the father of medical botany. This would change with the publication of Leonhart Fuchs’ illustrated herbal De historia stirpium commentarii insigne. The plan and organization of the herbal was entirely original with Fuchs, although the work did include some material derived from his Classical predecessors. Fuchs’De historia stirpium represented an impressive first step from medieval superstition to modern botany. Leonhart Fuchs, a German doctor of medicine, deplored the terrible state of medical practice during his lifetime. Most doctors of his time relied on information from illiterate apothecaries, whom were, in turn, depending upon the peasants who gathered roots and herbs for them. Fuchs realized that patients could easily be poisoned rather than cured because of improper identification of plants. Therefore he compiled this herbal to improve the German pharmacopoeia with a reference of accurate illustrations and identifications of medicinal herbs in both German and Latin. The result was a book of great splendor, without equal among sixteenth-century herbals. It is illustrated with 511 hand-colored woodcut figures, all original and depicted from life. Fuchs looked to living plants for his illustrations, a departure from common practice at that time, but then “improved” them by removing any natural imperfections and by showing a plant in the flowering and fruiting stages simultaneously. These figures established a standard of botanical illustration that has lasted to the present day, and more than 100 species were illustrated for the first time (including 12 New World plants such as maize, kidney bean, chili pepper, cactus, and tobacco). During Fuchs’ lifetime, the herbal and its various abridgments went through 39 printings in Latin, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. This hand colored wood-cut engraving, 14.25" x 9.25", is in excellent condition with a small tear on the lower right edge and evidence of verso page text. Ballote, commonly referred to as Black horehound, is a perennial herb that has been used medicinally to ease nausea and vomiting. This engraving is original hand coloring from 1542 and has perfect oxidation of the copper in the green pigment, which goes idyllically through the paper. De Historia Stirpium is one of the earliest legitimate medicinal textbooks of its time. [Bookseller: Arader Galleries San Francisco]

He issued his first mapping of Germany in 1529, after which he issued a call geographical information about Germany to scholars throughout the country.

ALBERUS, Erasmus. Protestant parody ridiculing the Franciscan order, Alcoranus Franciscanorum id est, blasphemiarum et nugarum lerna de stigmato idolo quod Franciscum vocant, ex libro Conformitatum.

Swelinck showing St. Francis of Assisi kneeling and receiving his stigmata. 248, incl. title [i.e. 250: pp. 167-8 repeated], (2 blank) pp. Rare fourth edition of the translation into Latin of Erasmus Alberus' Der Barfusser Monche Eulenspiegel und Alkoran, a prose satire to which Martin Luther wrote the postscript. The first edition of the German original appeared in Wittenberg, Hans Luft, 1542, followed by the Latin translation in Frankfurt a year later. The second and third Latin edition were published resp. in 1560 and 1578. This parodic adaptation of the Liber conformitatum of the Franciscan Bartolommeo Rinonico (or Albizzi) of Pisa is written by Erasmus Alberus (ca. 1500-1553), a German humanist, reformer, and poet, who was born in the village of Bruchenbr�cken, near Frankfurt am Main. Although his father was a schoolmaster, his early education was neglected. Ultimately in 1518 he found his way to the University of Wittenberg, where he studied theology. He had the good fortune to attract the attention of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon, and subsequently became one of Luther's most active helpers. Not only did he fight for the Protestant cause as a preacher and theologian, but he was almost the only member of Luther's party who was able to confront the Roman Catholics with the weapon of literary satire. After Luther's death, Alberus was for a time a deacon in Wittenberg; he became involved, however, in the political conflicts of the time. In 1552 he was appointed Generalsuperintendent at Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg, where he died on the 5th of May 1553.

No details of the early life of him have been handed down to us. A Venetian, he consecrated himself to the ecclesiastical state, becoming a canon in (Jesolo). On 5 July, 1370, he was elevated to the episcopal see of that city. Details are also lacking regarding his pastoral activity. The last mention of him refers to the year 1400, and in 1406, another appears as Bishop of Equilio; the date of his decease, therefore, must be set between these two years He is chiefly known as the author of Legends of the Saints in twelve books, a work with a wide circulation. In his arrangement of the various lives he follows the calendar of the Church. The collection, first printed in Vicenza, 1493, went through many editions, the last of which (the eighth) appeared in Venice, 1616. - [Bookseller: Liber Antiqua]

Scots prices are compared with English, and the significance of the data for the economic history of medieval Scotland is analysed fully. This is the only full study to have been undertaken on Scots medieval prices, and there is no comparable work on Scottish medieval economic history in print. ISBN10: 0521473853. [Bookseller: Alibris]

Wie bei kaum einem anderen Reichstag war die Aufbringung der T�rkenhilfe dominierendes Thema. Zur Finanzierung des Reichsheeres entschieden sich die Reichsst�nde f�r die Erhebung einer allgemeinen Verm�genssteuer (Gemeiner Pfennig) anstelle der Matrikularanschl�ge. Die Beratungen geben Einblick in das Reichsfinanz- und Reichskriegswesen des 16. Jahrhunderts, in die Ausgestaltung der Kreisverfassung, die Stellung der reichsunmittelbaren St�nde und den Prozess der Territorialisierung. Gegen�ber der Dringlichkeit der T�rkenhilfe traten die Verhandlungen der Evangelischen mit K�nig Ferdinand �ber Religion, Friede und Recht in den Hintergrund. Der K�nig erkaufte, �hnlich wie der Kaiser 1541 in Regensburg, die Zustimmung beider Religionsparteien zum Reichsabschied und zur T�rkenhilfe mit getrennten Deklarationen.

SUETONIUS TRANQUILLUS, Gaius. Interesting 16th-century Antwerp edition of the intriguing biographies of the twelve Roman Emperors, Caesarum XII Libri, iam denuo bonorum exemplarium & commentariorum ope emendati, cum M. Antonii Coccii Sabellici commentariis, nihil annotatu dignum dissimulantibus. Jo. Baptistae Egnatii Veneti, Annot. in Suetonium. Annotata in eundem, & loca aliquot restitutae per D. Erasmum Roterodamum.
Joh. Lo�us (Jan van der Loe), 14743, Antwerp, - 8vo. Later boards. With woodcut printer's device on title and many woodcut initials in text. (24), 661, (1 blank) pp. First edition published by Jan van der Loe (Johannes Lo�us), who printed many editions of classical authors between ca. 1542 and 1560). This edition Van der Loe prabably re-printed from the Basel edition by Henric Petri from 1542.The book is dedicated by Hieronymus Gemusaeus to Guilielmus Yzernaeus, councillor of the French King (f. (2)v-(3)v. The Preface to Suetonius by Angelus Politianus follows on f. (4)r-(11)v, f. (12) being blank. The lives of the twelve Roman Emperors - Julius Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian - are on pp. 1-626 together with the commentary and annotations by Marcus Antonius Coccius Sabellicus (1436-1506), a scholar and historian from Venice who authored a history of the world in 1504. He was a pupil of Pomponius Laetus, was professor of eloquence at Udino and Venice. In 1487 he was appointed as a curator of the San Marco Library. The text is followed by the annotations on Suetonius by Joannes Baptista Egnatius (ca. 1478-1553) on pp. 627-43, and those of Erasmus on pp. 644-58, a mention of Suetonius by Ausonius (pp. 658-9), an annotation on the name 'Caesar'(p. 660), and a short 'Vita' by Philippus Beroaldus on p. 661.Suetonius was born the son of Suetonius Laetus, who probably came from Hippo Regius (Annaba, Algeria ). He was a close friend to Senator and letter-writer Pliny the Younger. Pliny describes him as 'quiet and studious, a man dedicated to writing'. Through Pliny, Suetonius came into favour with Trajan and Hadrian. Under Trajan he served as secretary of studies (precise functions are uncertain) and director of Imperial archives. Under Hadrian, he became the Emperor's secretary. In 122, Hadrian dismissed him for disrespectful behaviour towards Empress Vibia Sabina. Suetonius may have later regained imperial favor under Hadrian and returned to his position.He is mainly remembered as the author of the famous De Vita Caesarum ("About the Lives of the Caesars", best known in English as "The Twelve Caesars"), his only extant work except for the brief lives and other fragments noted below. The Twelve Caesars, probably written in Hadrian's time, is a collective biography of the Roman Empire's first leaders. The book was dedicated to a friend Gaius Septicius Clarus, a prefect of the Praetorian Guard in 119. The work tells the tale of each Caesar's life according to a set formula: the descriptions of appearance, omens, family history, quotes, and then a history, often full of spicy, erotic, often pornographic, shocking and cruel details, are given in a consistent order for each Caesar.

Leonhart Fuchs Elleborus Niger Adul Terinus Hortensis
Basel 1542 - Herbals are books containing the names and descriptions of plants and their medicinal properties. The herbal had declined during the Middle Ages, western European herbals of that era were based on the works of classical authors, in particular Pedanios Dioscorides, the ancient Greek writer who was the father of medical botany. This would change with the publication of Leonhart Fuchs’ illustrated herbal De historia stirpium commentarii insigne. The plan and organization of the herbal was entirely original with Fuchs, although the work did include some material derived from his Classical predecessors. Fuchs’De historia stirpium represented an impressive first step from medieval superstition to modern botany. Leonhart Fuchs, a German doctor of medicine, deplored the terrible state of medical practice during his lifetime. Most doctors of his time relied on information from illiterate apothecaries, whom were, in turn, depending upon the peasants who gathered roots and herbs for them. Fuchs realized that patients could easily be poisoned rather than cured because of improper identification of plants. Therefore he compiled this herbal to improve the German pharmacopoeia with a reference of accurate illustrations and identifications of medicinal herbs in both German and Latin. The result was a book of great splendor, without equal among sixteenth-century herbals. It is illustrated with 511 hand-colored woodcut figures, all original and depicted from life. Fuchs looked to living plants for his illustrations, a departure from common practice at that time, but then “improved” them by removing any natural imperfections and by showing a plant in the flowering and fruiting stages simultaneously. These figures established a standard of botanical illustration that has lasted to the present day, and more than 100 species were illustrated for the first time (including 12 New World plants such as maize, kidney bean, chili pepper, cactus, and tobacco). During Fuchs’ lifetime, the herbal and its various abridgments went through 39 printings in Latin, German, French, Spanish and Dutch. This hand colored wood-cut engraving, 14.25" x 9.25", is in excellent condition with evidence of verso page text. The image, Helleborus Niger, is more commonly referred to as Christmas Rose or Black Hellebore and blooms in late autumn to early spring, often in the snow, where it gets its Christmas Rose name from. In the Middle Ages it was used for many reasons, one to drive out evil spirits and witches. This engraving is original hand coloring from 1542 and has perfect oxidation of the copper in the green pigment, which goes idyllically through the paper. De Historia Stirpium is one of the earliest legitimate medicinal textbooks of its time. [Bookseller: Arader Galleries San Francisco]

GAURICO, Pomponio De sculptura
Nuremberg: Johannes Petreius, 1542. * Vagnetti EIIb1; Schlosser-Magnino, pp. 235-239; Kemp, Science of Art, pp. 40-41; modern ed. by A. Chastel & R. Klein (1969).. Rare early edition of this famous work on sculpture, perspective and the aesthetic theory of the plastic arts, of particular importance for the diffusion of perspective theory north of Florence. Kemp characterizes the work!s technical innovations as !a curious melange of the Albertian method, using an intersecting plane (the central vertical), and the !workshop! method which depends on the diagonal point(s)! (Science of Art, p. 42, and following for Gaurico!s foreshortening method). Midway between Alberti and Vasari, Gaurico!s treatise also documents the tremendous increase in cultural prestige which painting underwent during the fifteenth century: the incomparable outpouring of masterpieces of that century stilled the old debates about the dignity of painting and its status as one of the liberal arts. This prestige is here reflected in art criticism as a broad discipline in accord with a humanistic concept of culture, with its emphasis on history and informed evaluative judgement. The work first appeared in 1504 (Florence), and again in 1528 (Antwerp); it proved particularly popular in German-speaking countries, as this imprint from the home of Durer attests. All early editions are quite rare. The work became an instant !classic! in aesthetics and was often anthologized into the 17th century.Pomponio Gaurico (1482-1530) was a professor of philology at the University of Naples, a poet and humanist par excellence. His brother Luca was a celebrated mathematician, and made an influential Latin translation of Peckham!s treatise on perspective. [Bookseller: Martayan Lan, Inc.]
