MELANCHTHON, Philipp.
Initia Doctrinae Physicæ, dictata in Academia Vuitebergensi.Wittenberg, Hans Lufft, 1549. 8vo. Title-page with Lufft's woodcut publisher's device. With 4 decorative woodcut initials from two series and a woodcut diagram in the text. Set in roman types with incidental Greek and italic. Contemporary, richly blind-tooled pigskin with the title in black, brass clasps and catchplates with engraved decoration, with the title and author written on the fore-edge.
128, 126, (2 blank) ll. Adams M-1159 (1 incomplete copy); BMC STC German, p. 612; OCLC WorldCat. (3 copies).First edition of an early textbook and the first university textbook to incorporate Copernican theory. Drawing on natural philosophy to defend certain moral and religious views, this is both a textbook on physics and a testimony of Lutheran theology. Basing himself on Aristotle and reasoning from the theological argument that everything, including man, was created by God for a definite purpose, Melanchthon uses science, including material from Nicolas Copernicus's De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium, as the basis of a moral philosophy of civil obedience, which he regards as crucial to the survival of Luther's cause. Most of the roman types are in the Basel style spread by Peter Schoeffer the younger.The binding is executed in a panel design with the frame made from a portrait roll (16 x 181 mm) showing Paul with sword & book ("APPARVIT/BENIGNITA[S]"), David with harp ("DE FRVCTV[S]/VENTRIS") and two others (apostles?) ("DATA EST/MIHI OMN[IS]" and "SUPER SOLI/VM DAVID"). In the panel are thistles(?), Augsburg pine cones(?), and on the front "INICIA/DOCT." Below the title and author on the fore-edge is a monogramme TW with date 1550.A fine copy. The binding is slightly worn, but most of the tooling is clear. The last blank leafappears to be integral, though pasted down to the back board. An early textbook drawing on Copernican science and Lutheran theology. [Bookseller: ASHER Rare Books]

Lucae, F. Bonsignori, 1791.

Spellatura ai due piatti ma bella copia. PRIMA edizione della prima storia e bibliografia di questa importante famiglia di tipografi e librai dei secoli XV e XVI, originari di Firenze, estesero la loro attività a Venezia, Roma, Lione, Londra, Madrid e Burgos. La casa di Firenze fu fondata da Filippo (1450-1517), che pubblicò eleganti edizioni in corsivo di classici greci e latini e di autori italiani. Il favore incontrato dalle giuntine indusse A. Manuzio a chiedere a Leone X un privilegio per la stampa dei testi latini e greci in carattere corsivo. La prima opera annalistica dedicata ad una singola tipografia è quella ispirata al Bandini dai Giunti di Firenze. Fu facilitato in questo compito, dall'essere divenuto collezionista di cinquecentine di Firenze, massime di giuntine, nella cui ricerca gareggiava con il fraterno amico il Notaio Luigi Tramontani, suo vicino di casa. Il B. fu nominato primo bibliotecario alla Marucelliana quando questa fu aperta al pubblico ed in seguito direttore della Laurenziana. [Bookseller: LIBRERIA PAOLO BONGIORNO]

Johann Eck (Eckius) [1486-1543], was an important theologian and the principal adversary of Martin Luther. At twelve years old, he was admitted to the Heidelberg University. Then he went to Tubingen (M.A. 1501); then to Cologne and in 1502 to Freiburg in the Breisgau. After his graduation in the faculty of arts he began the study of philosophy and theology; took courses at the same time in jurisprudence, physics, mathematics, and geography; joined the Humanistic movement, and in addition to Latin, learned Hebrew and Greek. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1508 (with a papal dispensation from the age-requirement) and, when twenty-four years old (1510), received a doctorate of Theology. He was invited by the Dukes of Bavaria to the professorship of theology in Ingolstadt. His professorate lasted 32 years and he filled increasingly responsible positions. His literary activity was remarkable, not only in theology but also in various departments of science, geography, and philosophy. Luther's appearance, and especially the Disputation at Leipzig (1519), formed the turning-point in Eck's intellectual development and in his activity as a theologian. Thereafter he stands as a major... [Bookseller: Alibris]

GIANCARLI Gigio Artemio
La Cingana, comedia di Gigio Arthemio Giancarli Rhodigino
Venezia, Appresso di Agostino Bindoni, 1550, in-8 (mm. 157x100), ff.. 92., leg. posteriore in pergamena. Silografia al frontespizio raffigur. la Giustizia. Seconda edizione, rara. L’invenzione comica del Giancarli «Rhodigino» fu subito celebre – come attesta l’elogio di Andrea Calmo – per la sua straordinaria coloritura lessicale. Da annoverare tra i capolavori della commedia plurilinguistica di area veneta, la Cingana è infatti composta nella cosiddetta parlata zingaresca, mescolanza dei dialetti veneziano, bergamasco, pavano e ‘greghesco’. In cinque atti in prosa. «Prima di essere un punto di arrivo, Venezia era stata un punto di partenza. Città multietnica, incrocio di ricchi mercanti di varia provenienza, sia italiana che straniera, da tempo aveva fatto del suo porto l’approdo di diversi linguaggi, il luogo della commistione delle razze e delle culture. L’espressione letteraria e teatrale di ciò erano state le commedie plurilinguistiche del pieno Cinquecento, prime fra tutte quelle di Ruzante, del Calmo e del Giancarli... espressione diretta dell’immigrazione di nuove classi sociali e nuove etnie: prevaleva dunque il genere del “contrasto” tra i buffoni locali della tradizione municipale di origine medievale e quattrocentesca e gli attori provenienti dall’esterno».

ALPHABETUM HEBRAICUM.
Lutetitae (Paris), Robert Stephanus (Estienne), 1550. Contemp. overlapping vellum wrappers. With woodcut printer's device on title. (12) lvs. Beautifully printed Hebrew alphabet by the most prominent of the Estienne printers and the most outstanding figure in the Renaissance booktrade in France, Robert Estienne I, working at Paris from 1526 to 1550 and at Geneva from 1550 to 1559. Publisher of the first children's books as well as of numerous schoolbooks, Robert Estienne first published a Hebrew A B C together with a Greek A B C book in 1539, to display his new Hebrew type, cut by Jehan Arnoul. Still these alphabets, although intended by the publisher to show their specimen in stock, and in spite of the fact that no real 15th and 16th century type-specimen exist, they are not regarded as type-specimen, as in fact they were elementary student's grammars. The present A B C book contains alphabets, spelling and reading exercises in Hebrew type with their transcription in Roman type, and explanatory text in Latin. At the end the numbers in Hebrew are given. Fine copy of a rare 16th century alphabet. Buisson p. 2; Renouard 3; not in Adams, BMC, or in Schreiber; cf. Updike, I, p. 204, note.

Freiburg/Breisgau, wo er zeitweise auch Poesie lehrte? (DBE). - Hartungs Widmung richtet sich an den Freiburger Juristen Johann Venator: Hartung habe ?beim Übersetzen oft an den Nägeln kauen, sich den Kopf kratzen müssen, bis er verderbte Stellen wiederhergestellt, Dunkles verstanden habe. Er möge das Werk dafür umso mehr schätzen; zudem habe er diesen Dichter schon lange geliebt und beherrsche die griechische Sprache so gut, dass er sie schon öffentlich mit grossem Erfolg gelehrt habe. Was wenige Vertreter seines Faches vermöchten? (Hieronymus). Mit Widmungsgedichten von Joachim Mynsinger, Jacob Micyllus und Balthasar Acanthius; auf diese folgen ?griechische Textverbesserungen gegenüber der Aldina und der Frankfurter Ausgabe mit lateinischen und zum Teil - ganz ungewöhnlich - deutschen (in Fraktur!)

The best edition of the most influential, so-called 'Louvain Index' of forbidden books Louvain, Servatius Sassenius, 1550. 2 parts bound together. 4to. Modern half vellum, boards covered with a leaf from an incunable edition. With the imperial coat-of-arms with the double eagle on the titles. (10), (12) lvs. Extremely rare French edition of the decree, or ordinance, of 29 April 1550 issued by the Emperor Charles V against heresies and dangerous books and images against the holy Catholic faith in the Low Countries. The ordinace is bound together, as usual, with the famous Louvain 'Index of forbidden books', with an additional list of approved and recommended titles of books to be read in schools. This index has a separate title-page: Les Catalogues des livres reprouvez,et ceux que lon pourra enseigner par ladvis de luniversite de louvain. Avec ledict & mandement de la Maieste Imperiale. Louvain, Servais de Sassen, 1550).The art of printing played an important role in the dissemination of the reformation, but, on the other hand, also in the offensive of the Catholic Habsburg emperor of Spain and the Low Countries against all forms of heresy. From 1521 on Charles V had issued various decrees forbidding the printing, reading and sale of heretical or suspect books. On demand of the emperor the theologians of Louvain drew up a list of heretical and suspect books for uneducated people in 1546, which became law and was published simultaneously in three languages: Latin, Dutch and French, in the same year. The list was very much enlarged in 1550 and was, together witch a new imperial oridinance on the subject, of 29 April, printed in the same three languages. Our copy belongs to the French version of this most important edition of the 'Index', which was meant as an eternal decree, regulating the entire book trade. From that year on it was stricktly forbidden to possess, print, read, buy or sell works written by all reformers, other heretical woorks, satirical images, etc., and hencefort all books to be printed needed a special permission.The catalogue contains a list of forbidden books (1) in Latin - in alphabetical order - and anonymous titles, (2) editions of the Bible in Latin, Greek, Flemisch (a.o. the Liesvelt and Vorsterman bibles), and French, (3) other Flemish, German and French books, and (4) a list of recommended books for use in the classroom.Our copy belongs to the most important edition of 1550, which served as a model for the Spanish (1551 and 1559), Venetian and Roman Indexes, especially the so-called Index of the Council of Trent of 1570.At the end there is a hand written contemporary annotation in French: "Depuis xxx ans ...(?) apres composez ou imprimez, sans declaration des auteurs imprimeurs temps et lieu".
