Contarini, Gasparo; Gelen, Sigmund (interprete)
Casparis Contareni patricii Venetii, De magistratibus, & repub. Venetorum libri quin[que]
|
Basileae, Froben, 1544In 16° (cm 11 x 16,3), legatura piena pergamena moderna della Legatoria Gozzidi Modena, titolo calligrafato al dorso, pp 206, manca ll'ultima carta, prob. con impresa tipografica peraltro presente al frontespizio. Esemplare in buone condizioni, frontespizio con marginali integrazioni, senza perdita di testo, lievissime bruniture. Edita dal Gelen, o Gelenius, di Praga (m. 1554), erudito umanista, correttore, traduttore dal greco per lo stampatore umanista Froben, amico di Erasmo da Rotterdam, questa rarissima edizione della storia politica dei magistrati e della Repubblica di Venezia, da parte di A. controverso, proveniente da illustre famiglia che diede otto dogi alla Serenissima, senatore, importante uomo di governo, in seguito legato pontificio che svolse delicato ruolo di mediazione tra cattolici e protestanti; la sua posizione era più prossima agli insegnamenti di Erasmo e di San Tommaso d'Aquino che da quelli di Martin Lutero. Inoltre egli credeva nella necessità di una Riforma della Chiesa che partisse dal vertice e non dalla base, e non giustificò mai lo scisma dei protestanti, anche se fu disposto ad accettare alcuni punti, come il matrimonio del clero e la comunione sotto ambedue le forme. Parte della sua opera venne messa all'Indice dalla Chiesa cattolica, e per le sue frequentazioni in ambito riformato, di cui è testimonianza l'impressione svizzera del presente trattato, rientrato in Italia, C. fu accusato ingiustamente di luteranesimo ed isolato" Il de magistratibus fu l'opera che diffuse attraverso l'Europa del '500 e '600 il mito di Venezia e assicurò al suo autore una fama che altri scritti non gli avrebbero procurato...."Fragnito G. Gasparo Contarini, un magistrato veneziano" Tre esemplari censiti in SBN, altri in COPAC.

STIFEL, MICHAEL [MICHAELE STIFELIO).
Arithmetica Integra. Cum praefatione Philippi Melanchtonis.
|
- [Norimbergae] Nürnberg, [Apud Iohan. Petreium] Johannes Petreius, 1544. 4to. Bound in contemporary full blindstamped pigskin over wooden boards, binding dated 1544 (same year as that of printing). Binding w. two ornamental blindstamped borders inside eachother, the outer one with small portraits of Malanchton, Erasmus, Luther and Jan Hus (?), inner border depicting Prudentia and Iustitia. One clasp missing, remainder of it on boards, other clasp preserved. Back board a bit worn at edges, blindstamping to back board a bit vague. Some wear to corners and edges, spine somewhat soiled. End-papers renewed. Title-page a bit soiled and repaired at hinge, far from affecting printing. Old owner's inscription removed. Some damp-staining and soiling throughout, especially to last ab. 20 leaves, which are quite heavily damp-stained (mostly affecting the Appendix and the Errata). Last leaf w. a tear, but no loss. A few cont. marginal annotations. Woodcut device to title-page, numerous illustrations throughout. (6, being the dedication and Melanchton's preface), 319, (3) ff. a4 misbound, bound after title-page instead of before the index. The very scarce first edition of Stifel's seminal main work, a landmark of Western mathematics and one of the most important mathematical works of the Renaissance. In this work, Stifel presented a number of groundbreaking discoveries and methods that have revolutionized the field of mathematics. In this work a general method for solving equations is presented for the first time, the term "exponent" for the number of the upper series is introduced, the signs + (plus, or signum additorum) and - (minus, or signum substractorum) are supposedly properly introduced as well as that of the square root, and the introduction into Western mathematics of a general method for computing roots sees the light of day. Stifel here presents a table containing the numerical values of the binomial coefficients. "Stifel introduced into Western mathematics a general method for computing roots that required, however, the use of binomial coefficients. He had discovered these coefficients only with great difficulty, having found no one to teach them to him nor any written accounts of them (note 27: The table with binomial coefficients can be found in AI [Arithmetica Integra], fol. 44v)." (D.S.B. XIII:59)With this work, Stifel is also one of the first algebraists to understand the significance of negative quantities. "Michael Stifel, speaks as early as 1544 of numbers which are "absurd" or "fictitious below zero," and which arise when "real numbers above zero" are subtracted from zero." (Cajori, A History of Mathematics, p. 152). This groundbreaking work was immediately recognized as being hugely important, and new editions appeared already in 1545, 1546, and 1548, bearing witness to its great influence.During the 16th century, European civilization had developed in such a degree that it necessarily required more thorough knowledge in certain fields. As the geographical explorations required more accurate astronomical knowledge, which in turn prompted more accurate algebraic knowledge, so also the mercantile, commercial and banking developments required improved arithmetic and mathematical knowledge, as did the technical requirements of architecture, artillery etc. It is in the midst of this development of European civilization that we find Michael Stifel, the greatest German algebraist of the sixteenth century. Michael Stifel (ca. 1487 - 1567) was the German theologian who later became a mathematician and revolutionized the European development of this field. "He was a priest, a reformer, and a fanatic, but was one of the most skillful arithmeticians of his time" (Rara Arithmetica p. 223).Originally a theologian, who worked as a pastor in Annaberg, a position that Luther had procured him, he was somewhat scandalously thrown off his initial path. He was very much interested in number mysticism and had calculated the date and time of [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

ARCHIMEDES OF SYRACUSE.
Opera, quæ quidem extant, omnia, multis iam seculis desiderata, atq(u)e à quàm paucissimis hactenus uisa, . edita. (and) Eutocii Ascalonitae in Archimedis Libros de Sphæra et cylindro.Commentaria, .edita. (in Greek, 2 Parts).

- Basel, Johannes Hervagius, 1544. Folio. (30,5 x 21 cm.). Recently bound in full vellum. A very nice and clean copy with a bit of occassional scatterd brownspotting, perhaps gently washed. Many woodcut diagrams throughout, and a fine wood-engraved initial to each section (8), 139; (4), 65 (without the final blank). First edition of the Greek text of the works of Archimedes, being the ARCHIMEDEAN PRINCIPS edited by Thomas Geschauff, called Venatorius. It includes the Greek text of Archimedes and the commentaries of Eutocios of Ascalon (ab. 500 A.D.). Simultaneously with the Greek text, Hervegius in Basel published a Latin translation of the works and a Latin translation of the commentary, but they were apparently also issued as separates, as here.This work marks the beginning of the Archimedean renaissance, there is no incunabulum-edition, and it is only preceded by small Latin selections from his works in 1503 and 1543. Archimedes was called "the God of mathematics" by Plinius, and he is without doubt the greatest mathematician, physicist and engineer of ancient times and one of the greatest geniuses of all times. "There is no one individual whose work epitomizes the character of the Alexandrian age so well as Archimedes (287-212 B.C), the greatest mathematician in antiquity". (Morris Kline). "He gave birth to the calculus of the infinite conceived and brought to perfection successively by Kepler, Cavalieri, Fermat, Leibnitz, and Newton." (Chasles).Archimedes was the first to formulate what can genuinely be called physical laws: "Law of the Lever" and "Law of floating bodies." - "in fact, from all of physics before Simon Stevin (1548-1650), the only "basic" achievements which have textbook status nowadays are the two laws by Archimedes." (Salomon Bochner); in Mechanics he worked out the principles of the subject, and he was the first to apply geometry to physical science. In geometry his works consist in the main of original investigations, and he began where Euclid left off, and in fact he performed what is equivalent to integration, in finding the area of a parabolic segment, and of a spiral, the surface and volume of a sphere and a segment etc. - He invented the whole science of Hydrastatics."This represents a sum of mathematical achievements unsurpassed by any man in the world's history" (Thomas Heath) - "There was hardly a field of mathematics (including approximation mathematics and numerical analysis) to which he did not contribute something exceptionally ingenious and original. His work in higher mathematics was almost two thousand years ahead of his time and was fully appreciated only in the nineteenth century." (Cornelius Lanczos).Among the 7 works contained in the Princeps we have also the famous Sand Reckoner (Psammites, Arenarius) dedicated to King Gelon, in which an extremely large number is introduced in arithmetics "How many grains of sand could the whole universe hold?" - a work which also contains THE FIRST PRINTED STATEMENT of the Heliocentric world picture, the COPERNICAN THEORY OF THE UNIVERSE with the sun in the centre and the planets and the earth revolving around it, a theory first put forward by ARISTARCHUS in a lost work and here (in the Sand Reckoner) referred by Archimedes : "Aristarchus brought out a book consisting of certain hypotheses, wherein it appears, as a consequence of the assumptions made, that the universe is many times greater than the "universe" just mentioned (the common conception). His hypotheses are that the fixed stars and the sun remain unmoved, that, that the earth revolves about the sun in the circumference of a circle, the sun lying in the middle of the orbit, and that the fixed stars, situated about the same centre as the sun, is so great that the circle in which he supposes the earth to revolve bears a proportion to the distance of the fixed stars as the centre of the sphere bears to its surface" (Heath's translation). - The Sand Reckoner (De arenae numero, Psammites, Arenari [Attributes: First Edition]

Modern antique-style full calf,with center-piece and rules in blind, spine banded title gilt; 8 ink corections, as usual, thought to be in GilbertÕs own hand; occ. foxing, a very nice copy; a leaf of contemporary notes is inserted between pages 126 & 127 in Latin.. Peter Short,. Title with woodcut printer"s device on recto and Gilbert"s woodcut arms on verso. 88 woodcut diagrams and illustrations in text (4 full-page), one folding. Decorative woodcut head- and tail-pieces and initials. Gilbert"s (1544-1603) De Magnete is "a remarkable work in the history of scientific discovery. It cost the author 18 years of investigation and experiment. Large marginal asterisks mark what he considered great discoveries, and small asterisks minor ones. There are 21 of the former and 178 of the latter. Gilbert shows that a freely suspended magnet is controlled by the earth and not, as supposed, by extra-terrestrial influences. His magnetic theory enabled him to explain the behavior of the compass-needle, the dip-needle, the magnetic condition of vertical masses of iron, and the magnetic properties of heated iron bars when allowed to cool while lying in the magnetic meridian... Gilbert is chary of prose and wrathful in denunciation; he was a staunch Coperican, and warm friend of Kepler and Galileo." [Wheeler Gift.] "...it is with Gilbert, who was physician to Queen Elizabeth I, that the modern development of electricity and magnetism really starts. His book "On the Magnet" was the first major English scientific treatise based on experimental methods of research... He coined the terms "electricity," "electric force," and "electric attraction"... He contended that the earth was one great magnet; he distinguished magnetic mass from weight; and he worked on the application of terrestrial magnetism to navigation..."

S.l. [Venise], s.d., (1544), - petit in-8, [8] ff. n. ch. (titre, préface, pièces liminaires), 231 ff., vélin souple, dos lisse (reliure de l'époque). Vélin très défraîchi avec manques de cuir, exemplaire déboîté, petits manques de texte au feuillet de titre, dern. ff. salis. Il s'agit d'une continuation de Suétone, couvrant les règnes de Trajan, Hadrien, Antonin, Commode, Pertinax, Julien, Sévère, Bassien, Héliogabale et Alexandre Sévère. Né à la fin du XVe siècle et mort vers 1573, Mambrino Roseo, notaire et humaniste, eut un rôle relativement important dans la transmission en Italie du roman espagnol. Mais là, il s'agit d'une oeuvre de jeunesse, antérieure à ses traductions et oeuvres plus personnelles ; elle correspond davantage aux exercices de base du lettré antiquisant.

Contemp. paneled calf, split in front hinge, head chipped, dampstain to inner corner of opening leaves, booklabel and signatures of James & Thomas Clavering, otherwise a very good copy.. J[ohn] M[acock] for George Wells and Abel Swalle,. Tasso (1544-1595) Italian poet, wrote his great epic "Jeruslaem Delivered" in 1575. Its theme is the capture of Jerusalem during the first crusade, presented from a thoroughly Christian and mediaeval point of view. Fairfax d.1635,"In 1600 he published 'Godfrey of Bulloigne, or the Recoverie of Jerusalem. Done into English heroicall verse,' fol., the first complete translation of Tasso's 'Gerusalemme Liberata.' The work is dedicated to Queen Elizabeth in four six-line stanzas, and the dedication is followed by a prose 'Allegorie of the Poem.' Richard Carew had previously translated a portion of the poem, and Fairfax made full use of his predecessor's labours. But in refinement and poetic instinct Fairfax far surpasses not only Carew but the translators of later times. Brian Fairfax states that 'King James valued it above all other English poetry,' and that it solaced Charles I in the time of his confinement. Dryden in the preface to his 'Fables' says: 'Many besides myself have heard our famous Waller own that he derived the harmony of his number from 'Godfrey of Bulloigne,' which was turned into English by Mr. Fairfax."DNB Added to this edition is a 3 pages poem by Robert Gould, a letter to the reader by Roger L'Estrange, and a Life of Godfrey. There are three imprints of this edition, with no priority. Wing T174A. ESTC r30158.

Reprint der letzten Ausgabe von 1628. Koblenz 2007
Sebastian Münsters Cosmographia - Vorzugsausgabe
|
- Die Cosmographia des Humanisten Sebastian Münsters, die 1544 in der ersten Auflage erschien und bis 1628 in der 21. Auflage verlegt wurde, war der Versuch einer illustrierten Beschreibung der ganzen Welt. Münster gilt als Universalgelehrter, der als Philologe, Geograph, Theologe, Historiker, Astronom, Mathematiker, Verfasser von Kalendern und Konstrukteur von Sonnenuhren geforscht und gewirkt hat. Sein hauptamtliches Berufsfeld war die Hebraistik. Fast 30 Jahre hatte er an seinem Lebenswerk der Cosmographia gearbeitet. Hier für unterhielt er eine umfangreiche Korrespondenz mit Regierenden, Bischöfen, Diplomaten, Bürgermeistern und Gelehrten, um das Wissen seiner Zeit zu sammeln und auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen. Die Cosmographia in frühneuhochdeutscher Sprache verfasst, richtete sich an ein breites Publikum und beschrieb die Städte und Landschaften des deutschsprachigen Raums historisch sowie geographisch, erörterte u.a. warum die Erde nach der neuen kopernikanischen Erkenntnis als Kugel gedacht werden muss und fasste die Berichte und Kenntnisse über ferne Länder und Erdteile zusammen. Münster selbst hat nie weite Forschungsreisen unternommen deshalb ersetzten Vermutungen und Phantasie die fehlenden Informationen über entlegene Schauplätze. Die Cosmographia wurde von 1400 Abbildungen illustriert, Holzschnitte aus der Holbeinschen Schule, darunter 247 Städteansichten und 26 Karten. Die Darstellungen von Ungeheuern, Fabeltieren, Monstrositäten und Gräueltaten anderer Völker in Wort und Bild befriedigten die Lese- und Sensationslust des zeitgenössischen Publikums und ließen die Verherrlichung der »Königreiche der Christenheit« umso strahlender erscheinen. Die Illustrationen bzw. die Druckstöcke für die Cosmographia fertigten Hans Rudolf Manuel Deutsch (1525 bis 1571), Johannes Zorn (o. A.) und Hans Holbein d. J. an. Wenn genaue Bildvorlagen fehlten wurde zum Teil sehr pragmatische vorgegangen: gleiche Stadtansichten wurden zur Illustration verschiedener Städte verwendet wurden, so für Basel wie für Koblenz, für Venedig wie für Frankfurt, für Mailand wie für Ingelheim. Verschiedene Kaiser und Könige wurden mit den selben Porträt dargestellt. Diese mehr typisierenden Abbildungen standen in der Tradition alter Chroniken und Buchillustrationen. Sie entsprachen ikonographisch eher dem Mittelalter. Die topographisch genauen Darstellungen waren, wie die individuellen Porträts, ein Ausdruck der wissenschaftlichen und künstlerischen Haltung der Renaissance. Dennoch war Münster daran interessiert, die »bedeutenderen Städte Deutschlands in ihrem natürlichen Bild. darzustellen und naturgetreu durch die Perspektive nachzuzeichnen« wie er selbst schreibt. Den für die damalige Zeit sensationellen Erfolg der Cosmographia machte aber vor allem die Erfindung des Buchdrucks durch Gutenberg möglich. Über diese Erfindung »mit gegossenen Typen zu drucken« schreibt er in der Cosmographia »Von dem jahr Christi 1440, biß zum jahr 1450 ward zu Mentz die edel Kunst der Truckerey erfunden. Von Mentz kam sie gen Cöln/darnach gen Straßburg/Basel, und darnach gen Venedig. Der erst Anfänger und Erfinder wird genant Johannes Gutenberg zum Jungen« Die Neuauflagen wurden, auch nach Munsters Tod 1552, verbessert, erweitert und weiterbearbeitet. Auf der Titelseite der »Cosmographia« von 1628, die in Basel bei der »Henriepetrinischen« Druckerei verlegt wurde, heißt es am Schluss: »Auff das newe ubersehen und mit vielerley nohtwendigen Sachen Fürstlichen Stambäumen / Figuren und Stätten: Sonderlich aber einer vollkommenen Beschreibung der unbekandten Länder Asiae, Africae, Americae, so viel darvon durch allerhandt Reysen und Schiffarten/biß auff dieses 1628. jahr kundt gemacht worden/trefflich vermehrt/und mit newen Indianischen Figuren geziehret.« Die Verleger- und Druckerfamilie Petri besorgte die Neuauflagen auf dem jeweils höchstmöglichen Kenntnisstand der Zeit. Um 1550 kostete die Cosmographia 2 Gulden, das entspricht auf heute umgerechnet ca. 1000 Euro. Heut [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Venice: Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari. 1544. Circa 1800 calf rebacked with finely gilt tooled spine Small 8vo . FIRST EDITION IN ITALIAN of this historical description of the government and priesthood of ancient Rome by the Florentine humanist Andrea Domenico Fiocco (or Fiocchi, c. 1410-1452). The Latin text was first printed in Venice in 1473-77 and attributed by Fiocco to the Roman historiographer Lucius Fenestella. The translator, Angelo Motta, dedicates the work to Francesco Sansovino (1521-1583) who would also provide a translation of this work for Giovio for a 1547 edition. "The treatise enjoyed almost immediately a wide circulation ... and at the close of the 15th century there were already seven printed texts available. Many more editions of Fiocchi's work were published all over Europe in the course of the 16th and 17th centuries" (M. Laureys). A scarce work. Not in the OCLC 43, [1] leaves. Woodcut printer's device and fine woodcut historiated initials. Some scattered foxing. Early inscription crossed out on last leaf. BM/STC Italian, p. 246; not in Adams

COCHLAEUS, Johannes
Sacerdotii ac sacrificii novae legis defensio, adversus Wolfgangi Musculi Augustae concionantis arrosiones
|
A. Weißenhorn, Ingolstadt 1544 - Unbound 4to . ONLY EDITION, published the same year in a German translation, of Cochlaeus' "Defense of the priesthood and of the sacrifice of the new law, against the assertions of the august orator, Wolfgang Musculus," which attacked the positions of the Augsburg reformer. "This booklet by Cochlaeus defends in systematic fashion the Catholic doctrines surrounding the Mass. It is directed against two sermons preached by Musculus at Regensberg. The course of the treatise considers in turn the priesthood of the New Testament, the sacrifice of the Mass, the application of the Mass, transubstantiation, and the canon of the Mass" (Schrodt & Vogelstein, no. 38). Cochlaeus was a friend of Erasmus and many humanists however ". Cochlaeus considered it his duty to preserve the unity of the church by attacking the reformers in his writings. Although this caused him to lose many of his former friends, he soon emerged as as of Germany's leading controversialist" (Contemporaries of Erasmus, I, p. 321). The work is listed in OCLC but without locating any copies and only two copies of the German edition of the same year 50 leaves. With title woodcut. Tiny collection and duplicate stamp on verso of title. § VD 16, C 4378; IA 142.179; Stalla 148; Spahn, Cochlaeus 151.

Los Elementos de Euclides componen el libro que inaugura y compendia toda la geometría: toda la ciencia geométrica entre el siglo iii aC y el siglo xx tiene su origen y ha de tener su referente en el trabajo de Euclides.La primera edición de este comentario de Finé a la Geometría de Euclides se publicó en 1536."La composición euclídea fue, para empenzar, un repertorio básico de los resultados probados y las proposiciones demostradas; un archivo tan cumplido que hizo superfluo cualquier otro tratado matemático del mismo alcance y género. siempre que hacía falta una lema elemental bastaba, por lo regular, mencionar su presencia en los Elementos sin que fuera necesario detenerse a probarlo.Los Elementos fijaron una especie de estándar metodológico o nivel básico de exigencia tanto en lo referente a la sistematización deductiva de un cuerpo de conocimientos como en lo referente al rigor informal de la prueba matemática. una normalización de la exposición demostrativa de las proposiciones geométricas." son expresiones de Luis Vega.

SCHOPPER HARTMANN [- AMMAN JOST, illustrator]
Opus Poeticum de Admirabili Fallacia et Astutia Vulpeculae Reinekes Libros Quattuor, Frankfurt, [Feyerabends & Huter], 1567.
|
8°; pp. (12), 285, (1). Illustrated with numerous fine woodcuts by Jost Amman and Virgil Solis. Lovely nineteenth century dark olive crushed morocco, delicately gilt, by Capé. A nice copy. First edition of Schopper's Latin translation of Reynard the Fox from the High German of Beuther (1544).Reynard appears first in the medieval Latin poem Ysengrimus, a long Latin mock-epic written ca. 1148-1153 by the poet Nivardus in Ghent, that collects a great store of Reynard's adventures. He also puts in an early appearance in a number of Latin sequences by the preacher Odo of Cheriton. Both of these early sources seem to draw on a pre-existing store of popular culture featuring the character. In 1174, the first branch or chapter of the Roman de Renart appears, written by Pierre de St. Cloud (though in all French editions it is designated as 'Branch II'). Pierre wrote a sequel in 1179 (called 'Branch I') but between that date and after many French authors composed their own adventures for Renart li goupil (the fox). There is also the text Reinhard Fuchs by Heinrich der Glïchezäre. A 13th century Middle Dutch version of the story (Van den vos Reynaerde), is also made up of rhymed verses. Like Pierre, very little is known of the author, Willem, other than the description by the copyist in the first sentences. Geoffrey Chaucer used Reynard material in the Canterbury Tales; in The Nun's Priest's Tale, Reynard appears as "Rossel" and an ass as "Brunel". In 1481 William Caxton printed The Historie of Reynart the Foxe, which was translated from a Middle Dutch version of the fables. Also in the 1480s, the Scottish poet Robert Henryson devised a highly sophisticated development of Reynardian material as part of his Morall Fabillis in the sections known as The Talking of the Tod. Hans van Ghetelen, a printer of incunabula in Lübeck, printed an early German version called Reinke de Vos in 1498. It was translated to Latin and other languages, which made the tale popular across Europe. Reynard is also referenced in the Middle English poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight during the third hunt. «Jacob Grimm voyait dans ces textes, compilations d'une vingtaine de "branches" écrites entre 1174 et 1250, le résultat d'une longue tradition orale populaire, d'origine germanique, mêlant des contes que l'on retrouve en Indie autant qu'à Rome ou en Grèce. […] "Roman" par la langue et non par la structure, le "Renart" déploie un vaste univers animalier, parodie et satire de la société médiévale, religieuse, politique et littéraire, mais qui est aussi reflet de la culture populaire et orale, par la reprise de nombreux contes, fables antiques ou fabliaux. On y trouve aussi la marque d'un folklore universel à travers le personnage de Renart, le "décepteur" présent dans les récits arabes. Le rusé Goupil, compensant sa faiblesse par son intelligence, n'est pas sans rappeler les héros des contes merveilleux. De même, cette forêt d'animaux essentiellement sauvages, doués de parole, de raison autant que de fourberie, est cousine de la forêt des contes et de ses animaux parlants, enchantés ou totémiques» (Il était une fois… les contes de fées, Sous la direction d'O. PIFFAULT, Paris, BNF, 2001, n° 11).

Fausto verspricht ein drittes Buch, das den Edelmann näher charakterisieren sollte, sowie ein viertes über die "Gentildonna".

FENESTELLA, LUCIUS [pseud. of ANDREA DOMENICO FIOCCO]
Il Fenestella d'i Sacerdotii, e d'i Magistrati Romani. Tradotto di latino alla lingua Toscana, ... M. Angelo Motta
|
Venice: Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari. 1544. Circa 1800 calf rebacked with finely gilt tooled spine Small 8vo . FIRST EDITION IN ITALIAN of this historical description of the government and priesthood of ancient Rome by the Florentine humanist Andrea Domenico Fiocco (or Fiocchi, c. 1410-1452). The Latin text was first printed in Venice in 1473-77 and attributed by Fiocco to the Roman historiographer Lucius Fenestella. The translator, Angelo Motta, dedicates the work to Francesco Sansovino (1521-1583) who would also provide a translation of this work for Giovio for a 1547 edition. "The treatise enjoyed almost immediately a wide circulation ... and at the close of the 15th century there were already seven printed texts available. Many more editions of Fiocchi's work were published all over Europe in the course of the 16th and 17th centuries" (M. Laureys). A scarce work. Not in the OCLC 43, [1] leaves. Woodcut printer's device and fine woodcut historiated initials. Some scattered foxing. Early inscription crossed out on last leaf. BM/STC Italian, p. 246; not in Adams

The present second (first Netherlands) edition includes 13 stunning large engraved plates and is also a typographic monument of the greatest importance. The commentaries and criticism are arranged not by author, but by the Bible passages they discuss, so that one can readily read and compare the views of all the leading scholars concerning any passage. The present edition mentions the compilers only at the end of the preface taken over from the first edition (London 1660), principally John Pearson (1613-1686), Bishop of Chester and later Professor of Theology at Cambridge, with his colleagues Anthony Scattergood, Francis Gouldman and Richard Pearson. They brought together texts by Erasmus, Sebastian Münster, Joannes Drusius, Benedictus Arias Montanus, Isaac Casaubon, Edward Brerewood, Kaspar Waser, Hugo Grotius, Petrus Cunaeus, Joseph Scaliger, Johannes Cloppenburg, James Ussher and many more. Volumes 1-4 cover the Old Testament, volume 5 the Apocrypha and Jewish antiquities, and volumes 6-8 the New Testament. The dedication to Frederick III, Elector of Brandenburg, and the five-page note to the reader are new to this edition.The main (Latin) text is set in roman types supplemented by italic, with numerous extensive passages in Greek and Hebrew (some running over several pages and some with a parallel Latin translation), one extensive passage in Syriac and shorter passages in Arabic, textura (used for Dutch and English) and fraktur (used for German). Neither the plates nor the engravings in the text or on the title-pages are signed, but they are fine pieces of work. The world map, ten other plates and one engraving in the text are based on those first published in Plantin’s Polyglot Bible (1568-1573) where most were prepared by Arias Montanus. The world map shows how the world was repopulated by Noah’s three sons after the flood, and the origin of the present version (and that with "Tom. VI. pag. 553, probably from the 1660 Critici Sacri ) has long puzzled cartographers (see Shirley 125 and his corrigenda). Its inclusion of the northern part of a large land mass south of the East Indies has encouraged speculations about an early sighting of Australia. The lovely scenes of the Garden of Eden and the Flood in the margins of the present version do not appear on any of the earlier ones. The present versions of Arias Montanus’s maps are not in Laor (cf. 45, 46 & 945) or Poortman & Augusteijn (cf. chapter 14, items 1-4).Isaac Walton’s London Polyglot Bible (1655-1657) secured England’s place in the world of biblical scholarship. While both its preparation and its publication stimulated a great deal of new scholarship, its parallel presentation of eighteen Bible texts in nine languages left limited room for commentary. The 1660 Critici Sacri in nine volumes was the first and most extensive attempt to fill this gap, the only comparable work being Matthew Poole’s five-volume Synopsis Criticorum (1669-1676). Both were printed by James Flesher in London. English book production still lagged behind Dutch at this date, however, so the present second edition reaps the typographic benefits of the Dutch Golden Age. It was published by a syndicate of six bookseller/publishers in Amsterdam and Utrecht, but the typographic materials and their distribution in the book suggest that the printing may have been shared by two offices, one of them probably Hendrik Wetstein’s.

CYPRIANUS, Thascius Caecilius.
A Churchfather, edited by Erasmus in a magnificent contemporary blind stamped binding and with a very interesting Frisian provenance, D. Caecilii Cypriani episcopi Carthaginiensis et Martyris opera.
|
Sebastien Gryphium,, Lyon, 1544 - 2 parts in one. 8vo. Contemporary blind tooled calf over bevelled wooden boards, spine ribbed in 5 compartments with title written in second compartment, sides stamped with two different rolls: the first along the edges (width 23 mm), with personifications of the planets: Sol, Luna (signed with the monogram 'NP'), Saturnus, Venus, Jupiter, Mars and Mercurius; en d the second as central panel (width 27 mm) with personifications of Charitas, Justitia, and Fortitudo; between the outer roll and 'central panel' stamps of a flower and fleur-de-lys; two pairs of contemporary copper clasps and catches, title in ink on front edge (carefully re-backed). Woodcut printer's device on both titles, woodcut vignette on the verso of the last leaf, woodcut initials. (32), 395, (12), (1 blank); 422, (10) pp. (Collation: 2a-2b8, a-z8, A-B8, C4; Aa-Zz8, 2A-2D8 (including the fols. 2D7 (blank) and 2D8 with the vignette on its verso). Rare Lyonese edition of the collected theological works of the Church father Cyprian, bishop of Carthage and martyr, here edited by Desiderius Erasmus. The work starts with a letter by Erasmus dated 1519, followed by his annotations. The first edition of Cyprian's Opera edited by Erasmus was published in 1520 by Froben at Basel, who printed many editions afterwards. The present printer, Sebastien Gryphius, also printed a number of these 'Erasmus' editions at least in the years 1535, 1537, 1543 and 1550. This edition is not in the Erasmus collection of Rotterdam nor in any other Dutch library.Saint Cyprian (Thascius Caecilius Cyprianus) was born around the beginning of the 3rd century in North Africa, perhaps at Carthage, where he received an excellent classical education. He died in 258 AD. Cyprian was an important early Christian writer. After converting to Christianity, he became bishop of Carthage (249) and eventually died a martyr at that city.Besides a number of epistles, which are partly collected with the answers of those to whom they were written, Cyprian wrote a number of treatises, some of which have also the character of pastoral letters. Part I contains the four books of his letters, followed by treatises as 'Contra Demetrianum', 'De habitu Virginum', sermons, and 'De exhortatione martyrii'. Part II with a separate title-page (Alter tomus operum D. Caecilii Cypriani (Lyon, Seb. Gryphium, 1544)), contains five treatises, including 'Adversus Iudeos libri III', 'De haeriticis baptizandis', and 'De duplici martyrio ad Fortunatum', followed by Cyprian's spurious works.Provenance:1. (first fly-leaf, in ink:) 'Bernardus Beyma Serapius' (altered in: 'Bernardus Serapiusi Beyema') together with his motto 'contemnere, contemnique disce' and another motto. This is the same Bernardus Serpszoon (son of Serp) Beijema from Leeuwarden (d. after 1590), who also was the owner of an edition of the Saturae of Persius and Juvenalis (Basel 1551), now in the Buma collection in the Treasoar at Leeuwarden (sign. F.96).2. (title-page, in ink:) Suffridus (van) Boelens (1631-1692), clerk of the Court of Friesland and burgomaster of Leeuwarden (1688-91), who was married with Jeltje van Beyma (Beyema?)

CAIUS, IOANNIS.
Contains the classic account of the sweating sickness epidemic, Opera Aliquot et Versiones, Partim iam nata, partim recognita atque aucta.
|
Antonius Maria Bergagne, 438, Lovanii (Louvain), - 2 parts in 1 vol. Small 8vo. 19th century half calf. With woodcut printer's device on general title, and large woodcut portrait of the author, aged 43 years, on the separate title to "De Ephemera Britannica". 232 pp. Rare first edition of the famous medical treatise "De Ephemera Britannica, Liber Unus" which appeared for the first time in this Louvain edition of Caius's "Opera". It was written by Caius after he had witnessed the outbreak of an epidemic of the "sweatyng sickness" or fever near his family home. The present "Works" also contain the second edition of another famous treatise "De Medendi Methodo, libri II", on the method of teaching medicine, first published at Basel in 1544, but does not contain an edition of "Galenus de propriis libris" called for by Adams. Born at Norwhich, Caius, or John Kaye (1510-1573) studied at Gonville Hall in Cambridge, and in 1539 he went to Padua, where he studied under Montanus and Vesalius. Caius's medical works are still of value for the precision of his medical observations. His description of the symptoms of the sweating illness is the classical account of that deadly epidemic, with which his name is inexorably associated. His works on the subject are regarded as the most important medical writings produced in England before Harvey. Although often reprinted, original editions are of the greatest rarity. A good copy, with the booklabel of Comte Chandon de Briailles.- (Binding sl. rubbed; lvs. A6 and A7 sl. browned and torn). Adams 117; STC Dutch 45; not in Bibl. Belg., Belg.

TASSO, TORQUATO
Het Verloste Jeruzalem. Vertaald door J. Dullaart.
|
Joannes Naeranus, 810, Rotterdam, - Sm.8vo. Contemp. vellum. With richly engraved allegorical frontispiece, portrait of the author by Crispyn de Passe, and 20 full-page engraved plates by D. Loggan. (80), 778, (2) pp. First Dutch edition of "Gerusalemme liberata", the life-work of the Italian poet, Torquato Tasso (1544-1595). In 20 songs on the first crusade under Godfried de Bouillon various elements are blended. Both mediaeval chivalry and classical antiquity here are assimilated to the new Christian world. Romance also finds its place in Tasso's epic, and many beautiful stories of the author's own invention are inserted. Next to Ariosto's "Orlando furioso" Tasso's "Gerusalemme liberata" became one of the most popular books of early literary history and for centuries it greatly influenced not only literary authors, like Goethe, but also musical composers, like Liszt. Good copy.- (Binding sl. soiled; sl. traces of use). Buisman 2235; Waller 1650; De Vries 253; Scheepers II, 716. [Attributes: First Edition]

Ingolstadt: A. Wei!enhorn. 1544. Unbound 4to . ONLY EDITION, published the same year in a German translation, of Cochlaeus' "Defense of the priesthood and of the sacrifice of the new law, against the assertions of the august orator, Wolfgang Musculus," which attacked the positions of the Augsburg reformer. "This booklet by Cochlaeus defends in systematic fashion the Catholic doctrines surrounding the Mass. It is directed against two sermons preached by Musculus at Regensberg. The course of the treatise considers in turn the priesthood of the New Testament, the sacrifice of the Mass, the application of the Mass, transubstantiation, and the canon of the Mass" (Schrodt & Vogelstein, no. 38).#11;Cochlaeus was a friend of Erasmus and many humanists however ".. Cochlaeus considered it his duty to preserve the unity of the church by attacking the reformers in his writings. Although this caused him to lose many of his former friends, he soon emerged as as of Germany's leading controversialist" (Contemporaries of Erasmus, I, p. 321).#11;The work is listed in OCLC but without locating any copies and only two copies of the German edition of the same year 50 leaves.

Frankfurt, Christian Egenolff, [colophon: 1544] 4to (192 x 137 mm), ff [32] 159 [without terminal blank leaf], title in red and black with two woodcuts, 52 woodcuts in text; a few leaves with some faint marginal staining, a fine copy in contemporary German half pigskin panelled in blind (flowers and fruit rolls, spine with diamond lattice pattern) over beech boards, with clasps and catches. £14,500 First edition, an outstanding copy, of Ryffís Confect Büchlin, a popular manual of household recipes and domestic medicine, which went through several editions. It was written both for apothecaries and the lay public. Most of the work is devoted to recipes for preserving fruits, preparing jams, syrups, cordials, scented, fortified, and medicinal wines, and aqua vitae. The section on domestic medicine is devoted to distillation of various vegetable (and some mineral) substances, the making of tinctures of herbs, the preparation of pills, laxatives, purgatives, ointments and salves, medicinal baths, etc. The fine woodcuts are by Jost Amman and illustrate fruits, flowers, and herbs, an apothecaryís shop (with hanging crocodile), medicinal jars, distilling equipment, wine barrels and apparatus, mortars, etc. Ryff (d. 1548) first trained as an apothecaryís apprentice in Güstrow, Mecklenburg, before moving to Strasbourg where he was municipal physician. He was ëa writer of textbooks on the subjects of distilling, anatomy and surgery, which display some originalityí (Baas). He was the author of the first German anatomy. Although he has been regarded as a compiler and plagiarist, much of his work is original and of merit. He was a prolific editor of ërare judgementí, who ëshould be accorded honor instead of censureí (Crummer), and his books succeeded in reaching a wide audience. As is common with this author, this work combines material from two of Ryffís earlier publications, but is largely cast as a new and original work. These two earlier works are Warhafftige, künstliche und gerechte Underweisung und Anzeygung, all Latwergen, Confet... (Strasbourg, 1540) and its companion volume which appeared in 1542 as Der ander Theil der kleynern teütschen Apoteck. Provenance: elaborate inscription(s) on front pastedown: ë1.5.

N Elias
A History of the Moghuls of Central Asia (Set of 2 Volumes)
|
Aryan. Brand New in Brand New jacket Condition: NEW ~ The present work in two volumes is the English translation of Tarikh-I-Rashidi, written by Mirza Muhammad Haidar, Daughlat. The book brings forth an absorbing and informative history of Central Asia. The Object of the Tarikh-I-Rashidi, as the author tells his readers, is to preserve the memory of Moghuls and their Khans. The Author, Mirza Haidar, has attempted a very minute and first hand account of the region which reveals in both in depth and on a personal level. The work is an earnest one, and the author, no doubt intented that it should be before everything else, a clear and complete exposition of the times he had set himself to chronicle. The scope and character of the Tarikh-I-Rashidi may be briefly summarized in the following way. It may be regarded as the history of that branch of the Moghul Khans who separated themselves, about the year 1321, from the main system of the Chaghatai, which was then the ruling dynasty in Transoxiana; and it is the only history known to exist of this branch of the Moghuls. The original, or western line-that of Transoxiana-was at that time declining in power, and through internal dissensions and administrative decay, was rapidly approaching a final dissolution. The princes of the branch then thrown off, became masters of Moghulistan (or Jatah, as it was called at that period) and of all Eastern Turkistan, and continued as a ruling dynasty for more than two and a half centuries. The book is divided into two parts, called Daftar, the first of which is entirely historical, while the second contains reminiscences of the authors life and notices of Chaghatai, Uzbeg and other princes, with whom he was acquainted. The first part, or history proper, was written in Kashmir in 1544 and 1545. It contains a record of two distinct and parallel dynasties: (1) that of the Khans of Moghulistan, beginning with Tughluk Timur, who reigned from 1347 to 1362, and whose father, Isan Bugha, was the first to separate from the main Chaghatai stem; and (2) of their vassals, the Dughlat Amirs of Eastern Turkistan, one of the earliest of whom, Amir Bulaji, the authors ancestor, had raised Tughluk Timur to the Khanship. The second Part, which has more than twice the extent of the first, and contains Mirza Haidars record of his life and times, was the first in point of date. It begins with his birth and concludes with an account of his second invasion of Kashmir, when, by a battle fought on the 2nd August, 1541, he became master of the country. This Part also includes some rules of conduct for kings, drawn up at the request of the author, by his spiritual guide, Maulana Muhammad Kazi. The book is thus a work of great historical importance and would interest historians, explorers, scholars and general readers.535 pages ~ 818678702X ~ language: English ~ 2006 ~ Hardcover ~ Contents PREFACEINTRODUCTIONSECTIONSI.

Lutetiae Parisiorum, Petrus Galterius, 1544 - in-folio, 35, (1bl), 533, (1)pp. veau brun, dos à nerfs orné, encadrement de deux filets dorés sur le plats, roulettes intérieures, tranches dorées (Saulnier rel.) PREMIERE EDITION d'un des plus beaux livres de Chirurgie du XVIe siècle, contenant pour la première fois les textes de la Chirurgie grecque d'Hippocrate, de Galien et d'Oribase, en traduction latine. Il est illustré de 210 magnifiques gravures sur bois, certainement inspirées par des dessins de modèles classiques grecs qui nous sont parvenus par les gréco-byzantins, représentant des opérations de chirurgie, des instruments, et des bandages. On compte parmi elles 30 remarquables figures à pleine page montrant l'utilisation de machines élaborées pour réduire les fractures. L'auteur (1500-1569) né à Florence, fut le médecin de François Ier. Le texte s'appuie sur un ancien manuscrit grec de la Bibliothèque de Laurent de Médicis, à Florence. On a longtemps attribué les dessins des bois de cet ouvrage au Primatice, mais depuis l'article de Michel Hirst "Salviati illustratuer de Vidius" (Revue de l'Art, 1969, no. 6) ils ont été restitués à Francesco Salviati. Certains des bois portent la croix de Lorraine, d'autres les initiales F. ou ARF. On les donne fréquemment comme étant de François Jollat. Très bel exemplaire soigneusement lavé et conservé dans une belle reliure Saulnier de la première partie du XXe siècle. Huit figures sont rognées à peu près de un centimètre et demi.

(few small holes in title & last leaf, some light foxing, but a crisp copy with good margins). the Philip Hofer-Harvard Library copy (discreet release stamp on Hofer's book label). First Edition of this collection of writings by French mathematician, astronomer, and cosmographer, Oronce Fine, regius professor of mathematics at the College Royal. The essays deal respectively with Fine's attempt to compute the ratio of circumference to diameter and solve the quadrature of the circle, with the measurement of longitude, and with the astrolabe. The splendid title border, woodcut text illustrations, dedication headpiece, and crible initial were probably all designed by Fine, the other Colines initials being attributed to Geoffroy Tory. Several of the illustrations depict scientific instruments (the 'triquetrum' and astrolabe) and their use. For a discussion of Fine's contribution to book design and examples of his work, see Mortimer, 225. and following: "[Fine's] work as a designer is closely related to his major fields of mathematics, astronomy, and geography, and his contribution is particularly interesting in extending beyond the illustration to the ornamentation of scientific texts."

FIRST EDITION IN ITALIAN of this historical description of the government and priesthood of ancient Rome by the Florentine humanist Andrea Domenico Fiocco (or Fiocchi, c. 1410-1452). The Latin text was first printed in Venice in 1473-77 and attributed by Fiocco to the Roman historiographer Lucius Fenestella. The translator, Angelo Motta, dedicates the work to Francesco Sansovino (1521-1583) who would also provide a translation of this work for Giovio for a 1547 edition. "The treatise enjoyed almost immediately a wide circulation ... and at the close of the 15th century there were already seven printed texts available. Many more editions of Fiocchi's work were published all over Europe in the course of the 16th and 17th centuries" (M. Laureys). A scarce work. Not in the OCLC 43, [1] leaves.
