His historical memoirs, from 1513 to 1543, are stlll remaining... Whatever pleasure the curious find in pursuing these memoirs, the generality of readers complain of the length of his descriptions of the battles and sieges in which he was present; but he cannot be denied the praise of a wise and able man." & Guillaume Du Bellay [1491-1543], brother of Martin, also a general for Francis I, imperial negotiator, and author. "He was sent to Piedmont in quality of viceroy, where he took several toens from the Imperialists. His address in penetrating into an enemy's designs was one of those talents in the exercise of which he spared no expence, and thereby had intelligence of the most secret councils of the emperor (Charles V) and his generals. He was extremely active in influencing some of the universities of France, to give their judgment agreeably to the desires of Henry VIII, king of England, when this prince wanted to divorce his queen, in order to marry Anne Boleyn..."{Chalmers] His memoirs are lost except for the fragments published with his brother's memoirs.

Barbieri Giovanni Maria (1519-1574)]
La guerra d’Atila, flagello di Dio. Tratta dall’Archivio de’ prencipi d’Este. Di nuovo ristampata gli argomenti inanzi à ciascun libro & con la tavola delle cose più notabili, poste parimente nel margine, aggiuntavi da m. Alemanio Fino con la dichiaratione d’alcune voci oscure che nell’opera si contengono fattavi dall’istesso.

In Vinegia, appresso Domenico Farri, M D L XIX. (1569) - Un volume in-8° (150 x 99), cc. 103, (12). Legatura ottocentesca in piena pergamena con titolo in oro su tassello rosso al dorso. Marca tipografica dei Farri con il sole in cornice. Capilettera istoriati; testo corsivo. Una piccola lacuna nel lembo inferiore del frontespizio (in corrispondenza di una nota di possesso di mano antica: “Di Giovanni ”). Ottimo esemplare genuino. L’opera pubblicata anonima in una prima edizione a Ferrara da Francesco Rossi nel 1568, fu ristampata a Venezia nel 1569; Gamba, Serie 1160, giudica che quest’edizione, «che ha le dichiarazioni delle voci oscure e gli Argomenti di Alemannio Fino», sia da preferirsi alla princeps. Il Barbieri, pionere degli studi romanzi, fu incaricato da Alfonso II d’Este, con lo scopo di rivendicare l’antichità del blasone nella lite di precedenza con i Medici, di «ridurre in prosa italiana l’Attila, il poema francoveneto di Nicola da Casola (conservato nel ms. della Bibl. Estense di Modena W. 8, 16-17). Il compendio, parziale, apparve anonimo nel 1568 (ristamp. Venezia 1569, con glossario e argomenti). La pregevole traduzione, con coloriture arcaiche (ma non è vero, come asserì il Tiraboschi che per primo la riconobbe al B., che l’intento fosse di far passare la traduzione per opera antica, ché la prefazione dice che l’opera “hora è stata ridotta brevemente in volgare italiano secondo il suo vero sentimento”), mostra una notevole penetrazione del contesto linguistico e senso di stile. La breve prefazione, se è del B., sarà stata manipolata, ché vi si parla dell'opera di Nicola da Casola come stesa “in lingua provenzale”, mentre il B., che non confuse mai le due lingue, in un ricordo del ’ 65 la dice composta “in lengua francesca antica”. La traduzione fu assai ammirata dal Galvani (lo studioso modenese erede in certo modo del B. in età puristico-romantica: cfr. Osservazioni sulla poesia de’ trovatori, Modena 1829, p. 16), ristampata a Parma nel 1843 e studiata poi dal Rajna e dal Vandelli» (DBI, voce di G. Folena). Edit 16, scheda CNCE 4165.

Folio (293 × 195 mm). Contemporary calf, rebacked and recornered with old gilt spine laid down. Rubbed, front joint a little worn, title slightly soiled, marginal tear to f. 288 not affecting text, finger-mark to the gutter of f. 355 and small burn-mark to f. 422 touching a couple of letters, these flaws minor only and not detracting significantly from a very good copy. First Edition of a classic of English law, “incomparably the best work produced by any lawyer in the middle ages” (Encyclopaedia Britannica), “a formulation of principles which have determined the whole development of English law, of which the use of precedents is perhaps the most characteristic”, and “a model for legal literature until the present day” (PMM).

[34], 171 pp. a.e.g. Elegant early twentieth-century full brown morocco, blind-ruled covers and spine, gilt-stamped ornaments, raised bands, gilt-stamped title, gilt-stamped turn-ins. 19th century leather armorial bookplate of Marigues de Champ-Repus. Fine. . FIRST PARIS EDITION of this classic, first published clandestinely at Geneva in 1565. As Henri Estienne’s first work in French, it represents the first piece in his trilogy on the French language, in which he claims superiority for his native tongue over all others, excepting only Greek, which he says is the most perfect and that which French most closely resembles. His French prose is generally regarded as some of the finest of the Renaissance period; according to Charles Nodier he was, “…le premier et le plus national de nos prosateurs du seizième siècle, après Rabelais et Montaigne”. Provenance: 19th century leather bookplate of Marigues de Champ-Repus, who published and noted the poetical works of his ancestor Jacques de Champ-Repus.

Abraham Ortelius
Typus Orbis Terrarum
|
First edition of Ortelius' famous world map, offered here in striking color. Ortelius' world map is one of the most important and widely disseminated maps of the second half of the 16th Century, forming the base model for a number of other contemporary maps. The present example is from the earliest state of the map, which can be identifed by the signature of the engraver, Fransciscus Hogenbergus (Franz Hogenberg)below the Cicero quote (center right) and the lack of any evidence of cracking in the lower left part of hte plate. The map is drawn from Gerard Mercator's 1569 wall map of the World, Gastaldi's 1561 world map and Diego Gutierrez' portolan map of the Atlantic.On the verso,Ortelius mentions in his Catalogus Auctorum that he also apparently had access to and drew upon the world maps by Peter ab Aggere from Mechelen, Sebastian Cabotus from Venice, Laurentius Fries from Antwerp, Jacobus Gastaldi, Gemma Frisius from Antwerp, Guicciardinus from Antwerp, Doco ab Hemminga Frisius, and Orontius Finæus from Paris. The coastline of South America includes the extra bulge, which would be removed in state 2 (1585). Both the Northwest & Northeast Passages are shown quite boldly, although based completely upon myth and conjecture. A massive Terra Australis Nondum Cognita is shown with equally bold conjecture in the Southern Hemisphere. South America is shown in its potato configuration, as is the case in the first edition of this map. An elongated Northwest Coast of America is shown, along with Anian. Civola is shown, along with Quivira. Includes several sea monsters, a sailing ship and other decorative embellishments. A fine full color example. The present example shows early signs of the crack which required the replacement of the map several years later. (Antwerp, 1572) [color: Hand Colored, size: 19.5 x 14 inches, condition: VG]

DANTI, Egnatio
Trattato dell'uso et della fabbrica dell'astrolabio
|
- Florence: Giunti 1569 FIRST EDITION. 4to. pp. (viii) 194, 38, (x). Roman letter, some italic. Woodcut Medici arms with globe on t-p, repeated on A3 verso, 21 fine woodcut diagrams and technical illustrations (including the earliest known depiction of a woman using a scientific instrument), 9 large historiated woodcut initials, woodcut ornaments. Slight staining to upper edge, not affecting text, the odd marginal spot. Contemporary mss corrections to table on p. 48, pencil diagram of circle and angles in margin of p.126. A good, clean, thick paper copy with ample margins in 17th century calf, spine gilt in compartments, boards with gilt- and blind-ruled borders, gilt arms of the Comtes de Courson, rebacked, spine expertly remounted. FIRST EDITION of the earliest Italian astronomical treatise in the vernacular, on how to make and use your own astrolabe. Born to a family of renowned mathematicians and artists, Egnatio Danti (1536-1586) was employed by Cosimo I de' Medici. "Cosimo's admiration for his cosmographer later grew to the point that, in 1571, he wrote to the general of the Dominican order, requesting permission for Danti to reside in the palace" (DSB 3 & 4, 558). Danti constructed an equinoctial armillary on the faade of Santa Maria Novella, which enabled him to observe the 1574 vernal equinox falling on 11 March, instead of 22 March, and thus prove that the Julian calendar had fallen out of step with the seasons. After falling from favour under Cosimo's successor, he worked intensively in Rome, where he drew up a topographical map of the papal states, became a leading figure in pressing for calendar reform and built a meridian at the Vatican. In the present work, a detailed and well-illustrated treatise on the astrolabe, Danti (anticipating Tycho Brahe) calculated the obliquity of the ecliptic (the earth's axial tilt) with a remarkable degree of accuracy. His Propositione XXX gives an angle of 23 degrees 28 min while the most modern calculations measure 23 degrees 32 min. As well as being learned, the work is also user-friendly, containing an introductory description of the astrolabe and its parts, and is laid out in a series of 'Propositions' with titles such as 'Come facilmente si truoui il vero luogo del Sole nel Zodiaco' or 'Come havendo cocnitala Latitudine della Regioni, & il luogho del Sole'. It contains also an errata leaf and useful table of contents.Matthieu Coignet de la Thuilerie, comte de Courson (1596-1653), diplomat and bibliophile, served as French ambassador to Venice and to the Netherlands (Gaspard, Guigard, 151).

Augspurg (Augsburg, Germany), Michael Manger, (flourished 1569-1604), both works printed with the same Gothic type in 1583. The first 11 leaves of the Lanndhanduest, the privilegia are in Latin. Thereafter the text is in German. The edicts of Römischer Kayserlicher, first issued in 1559 in Wien and likely reprinted in 1583 by Michael Manger because of their relevance to the Lanndhanduest, are in German - CONDITION DETAIL: quite presentable and in collectible condition. Leaves: clean with scattered trace foxing in margins and horizontal (humidity) bends, a small inkless owner stamp impressed at foot of leaf 9 continues to leaf 11; some leaves with margin notations, largely at rear; 3 instances of underlines, 1 on last line of text, handwritten numbers added to classify final 5 leaves of text, as I-LXIII parts, front blank leaf with folded crease at head of gutter and short, pencil note on verso: first 2 leaves of rear manuscript are slightly wider then covers and consequently exhibit fore-edge wear: the last leaf, the original rear blank is soiled: text block edges are dusty. Vellum Covers: exhibit general wear and there is early writing along the top edge of the upper cover. Binding: believed original and still solid: book needs to be handled with care, for crown band and foot band are partially detached, each at one side of the spine with front hinge split 3.2 cm at the foot. The other 3 bands are excellent. AVAILABILITY: Rare. A worldwide catalog search finds 8 institution holdings for the 1583 Landhandhuest and 1 for the Römischer Kayserlicher. Like the copy offered for sale, that example is also bound with the Lanndhanduest (found at U.C., Berkeley). PRINTING: Leaves have a beautifully balanced layout with 4.5 cm margins, 4.5 cm foot, 2 cm gutter and 2 cm head and are printed on both sides: The unbroken page format is 39 lines, catchword beneath the text, ending at the right margin, chapter heading centered above the first line, margin notes to some pages. The letterpress printing is beautifully executed and the text illustrated with 25 decorated woodcut initials, (some repeats), 6 splendid woodcut tailpieces, (variations on a striking design), a full-page woodcut illustration of the heraldic devices of the Duke of Styria, and 2 title page designs. Title page for Lanndhanduest is printed in red & black and decorated with beautiful red & black volute scroll designs with embedded floral motifs, red at the crown, black at the foot. Title page for Römischer is printed in black, decorated with a woodcut device and set within an elaborate architectural border figured with Greek gods. BOOKPLATE: Ex-libris Johann Caspar Sribaro, his beautiful copper engraved bookplate with its fanciful play on heraldic devices and Latin motto, "Inter spinas calceatus", is on the front pastedown. MANUSCRIPT: appears to be contemporary with publishing issue. Appended at rear, handwritten in German with calligraphic embellishments, initial letters done with elaborate ascending scrollwork, the introduction followed by 11 numbered parts, and then a separate unnumbered section. SIZE: 30.2 x 20.5 cm or 11.9 x 8.07 inches, as issued. PAGINATION: Lanndhanduest and Römischer confirmed complete. Lanndhanduest: paginated as leaves with printed versos unnumbered. 4 preliminary leaves, title page, 2 register leaves and blank leaf + text, 67, i.e. 66 leaves, as issued, for text produced without leaf 55 + 1 leaf, errata, the verso blank + [1 blank leaf]. Römischer: 6 leaves, including title page with 11 pages of text. Manuscript: 3 leaves. CONTENTS: laws for the Duchy of Styria governed by the Archduke Charles II (1540-1590) under the authority of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Rudolf II von Habsburg (1552-1612). The Duchy was roiled with conflicts between Protestants and Catholics that had been attempted to be resolved by the Peace of Augsburg in 1555. There had also been a series of invasions by the Ottoman Empire. REFERENCE: BM-STC German 841. Sauer & Auvermann. Europäische Rechtsgeschichte 2190. Stubenrauch 2339. Stobbe II, 410. Not in Adams.

Homem Diogo 1521 1576
Chart of Northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean
|
Venice: Paolo Forlani, 1569 THE FIRST PRINTED SEA CHART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA Copperplate engraving: 21" x 32" References: David Woodward, The Maps and Prints of Paolo Forlani (Chicago, 1990), 81.01. The cartographic oeuvre of Portuguese mapmaker Diogo Homem emblematizes the exceptional richness of nautical cartography produced in the western Iberian Peninsula in the 1500s. Homem specialized in portolan atlases, and his beautifully illuminated manuscripts survive in the collections of the Russian National Library, the British Library and several other repositories. Portolan charts are the predecessors of the modern navigational chart and first appeared in the Mediterranean world during the thirteenth century. Prior to the rediscovery of Ptolemy in the early fifteenth century, they were the most accurate maps available, compiled from the cumulative knowledge of generations of navigators. Such maps were highly effective in allowing mariners to chart a course from one port to another since directions, indicated by intricate networks of rhumb lines (lines of bearing), tended to be remarkably accurate. To chart a course, navigators simply used a straight edge to connect their point of departure to their destination, then aligned their ship parallel to the rhumb line closest to the course and followed that bearing according to astronomical observations or a magnetic compass. For determining directions at sea, portolan charts were unmatched in efficacy for centuries. In contrast to the case with most other Portuguese cartographers, Homem's original portolan charts were occasionally translated into print. The son of cartographer Lopo Homem, Diogo worked in London, Lisbon and Venice, and probably succeeded his father as Master of Navigational Charts for King Manual I of Portugal. Having worked in Venice, Homem had connections with many Venetian publishers of cartographic material, and the only printed examples of his maps originate from that milieu. This exceptionally rare map is the first state of Paolo Forlani's version of Homem's nautical chart showing Northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean. This map was greatly admired (and hence imitated) by contemporary cartographic publishers. Ortelius made mention of it in the Theatrum orbis terrarum of 1570 (see below, n. 22), while Antonio Lafreri of Rome copied it in a new plate in 1572. The map is a prototypical sea chart, with no interior detail but rather a plethora of labels signaling the locations of ports along the coastlines. Rhumb lines, indicating wind directions, radiate from points throughout the map, forming a matrix that navigators could use in tandem with an onboard magnetic compass to plot their ship's course from one port to another. Such navigational maps were of particular importance in a thriving commercial port such as Venice, which served as the main European gateway between Europe and the East. .

A fine edition of his works appeared at Venice in 1477; among later, frequent editions, that published in 1617-18 (Venice) in 10 folio volumes is especially notable" (Catholic Encyclopedia).

Nebst den Schriften Serlios benutzte Barbaro die, als Quelle aber nicht erwähnte, unveröffentlichte Abhandlung des 1492 gestorbenen Malers und Mathematikers Piero Della Francesca, das in Abschriften zirkulierte. Barbaros La pratica della perspettiva gehörte nebst Dürers Unterweisung und Messung (1525) zu den wichtigsten Werken über die Perspektive im 16. Jh. Barbaro beschäftigte sich auch mit der Camera obscura, so experimentierte er solange mit verschiedenartigen Sammellinsen, bis sich das erwünschte Bild, eine zentralperspektivische Darstellung der Welt, auch tatsächlich einstellte. Desweiteren erkannte er auch die Bedeutung der Blende für die Schärfentiefe. Die dreigeteilte Pratica della perspettiva widmet sich im ersten Hauptabschnitt den Prinzipien der Perspektive und ihrer graphischen Darstellung. Im zweiten Kapitel diskutiert Barbaro in der Tradition Luca Paciolis und Leonardo da Vincis die fünf regulären oder platonischen Polyeder. Im dritten und bedeutendsten Teil behandelt der Verfasser die architektonische Szenographie, optische Illusionen, Schatten, Licht und Farben, Kartenprojektion (Planisphäre), die Masse des menschlichen Körpers, Instrumente zur Darstellung der Perspektive und bietet vor allem auch die erste analytische und wissenschaftliche Beschreibung der Camera obscura. "The principal merit of Barbaro's Pratica is the way in which the author mediates between the pressing demands of artistic and literary culture on one hand and the specialized scientific treatment of the subject on the other, which was soon to assume the lead in perspective studies. In this treatise Barbaro fulfills the promise to take up the subject of perspective, called scenographia by the Greeks, made his commentary on the 1556 edition of Vitruvius" (Mellon Coll.). - Etwas wasserrandig, Titel im Aussensteg etwas fleckig und ausgefranst, Schlussblatt im Innensteg beschädigt. Millard Collection IV, 12; BAL I, 183; Riccardi I, 76f.; Fowler 36; Cicognara 809; Adams B-171; Mortimer, Italian, 39; DBI VI, 89f. First edition, second issue of this important and lavishly illustrated early work on perspectives, and the first analytic scientific description of the camera obscura. There are several variants known of this edition, after the first issue was dated 1568 the date was changed to 1569 on both the title and colophon, but the sheets from both issues were mixed so that some copies have title and colophon bearing different dates; there is also a variant with a different title-page with title printed within a large woodcut. Daniele Barbaro (1513-1570), mathematician, diplomat, translator of Vitruvius' De architectura, friend and patron to Andrea Palladio, wrote his book for the practical use of painters, sculptors, and architects. His interest in theoretical questions of perspective and propo [Attributes: First Edition]

Ortelius, Abraham (1527-1598).
Indiae Orientalis, Insularumque Adiacientium Typus
|
[Antwerp: Gielis Coppens van Diest, 1570]. Single sheet, matted (13 5/8 x 19 4/8 inches to the neat line, full margins showing the platemark). A fine engraved map with Latin text of the Indian Ocean with the title in a fine strapwork cartouche lower left and armorial device upper left, decorated with fine mermaids, sea monsters and ships, with "cum Privilegio" lower right, all surrounded by a broad decorative border (minor restoration to the lower portion of the central vertical crease). First edition and a attractive copy of an early map to show India, China, Japan, a portion of the Western coast of America (including several mythical names in California) and the Islands of the Indian Ocean, including the Northern coastline of New Guinea described as being part of the southern continent, also showing Beach and other information drawn from Marco Polo. From the first edition of Abraham Ortelius's celebrated "Theatrum orbis terrarium..." which he compiled using his many contacts in the growing network of European cartographers to secure the best existing maps. "Indiae Orientalis..." is based upon Mercator's world map of 1569, which he then had re-engraved by the talented Flemish artist Frans Hogenberg (1535-90) so that it conformed to a standard format and graphic style. Abraham Ortelius first published his atlas, "Theatrum orbis terrarium" in 1570, and as Rodney Shirley noted in his study of world maps, ushered in an era when "pre-eminence in map publishing was transferred from Italy to the Netherlands, leading to over a hundred years of Dutch supremacy in all facets of cartographical production. " Ortelius was a true pioneer in map publishing, and his innovations brought momentous changes to the world views of contemporary Europeans. Little is known about his training and early career, but his true accomplishment, was the publication of the "Theatrum". The result was an atlas that was truly without precedent. Previously, collections of maps had been assembled into book form, but none conformed to the modern definition of the geographical world atlas.

His historical memoirs, from 1513 to 1543, are stlll remaining...Whatever pleasure the curious find in pursuing these memoirs, the generality of readers complain of the length of his descriptions of the battles and sieges in which he was present; but he cannot be denied the praise of a wise and able man." Guillaume Du Bellay [1491-1543], brother of Martin, also a general for Francis I, imperial negotiator, and author. "He was sent to Piedmont in quality of viceroy, where he took several toens from the Imperialists. His address in penetrating into an enemy's designs was one of those talents in the exercise of which he spared no expence, and thereby had intelligence of the most secret councils of the emperor (Charles V) and his generals. He was extremely active in influencing some of the universities of France, to give their judgment agreeably to the desires of Henry VIII, king of England, when this prince wanted to divorce his queen, in order to marry Anne Boleyn..."{Chalmers] His memoirs are lost except for the fragments published with his brother's memoirs.

1569 The Bear Bible — The First Complete Bible in Spanish La Biblia, que es, los sacros libros del vieio y nueuo testamento.
|
Thomas Guarinus for or with Samuel Apiarius, Basel, Switzerland 1569 - 1569 The Bear Bible The First Complete Bible in SpanishTitle: Bible. Spanish. Reina. 1569. La Biblia, que es, los sacros libros del vieio y nueuo testamento. Place: [Basel: Printer: Thomas Guarinus for or with Samuel Apiarius], Year: 1569. Size: 4to. [15 of 16] ff., 1438 columns, [1] p., 544, 508 columns, [1] p., [1] f. (without the two blankland 3 leaves of "Annotationes"); illus. This Bible is known as the "Bible of the Bear" or the "Bear Bible" because of the printer's device on the title-page, a bear at a honey comb, which was the device of Samuel Apiarius. The relationship between Apiarius and the actual printer, Thomas Guarinus, is unresolved. The Old Testament in this translation is based on the Hebrew and derived heavily from the Latin of St. Pagninus and from the Ferrara version. The New Testament is based on the Greek of Erasmus with comparisons to the Vetus Latina and Syriac manuscripts. There are two states of the title-page, this being state A with the line of type ornaments described in Darlow and Moule. Provenance: Ownership signature of Herbert Watney and note "bought in Spain March 1892" on the front fly-leaf. Mr. Watney (1843–1932), the youngest son of the brewer James Watney, was educated at Rugby and Cambridge, and became Senior Assistant Physician at St. George's Hospital, London. In 1915 he served as Master of the Mercers' Company as his father had in 1846. He was a dedicated book collector of Bibles and English history: The first edition of the first complete Bible in Welsh in the library of St. John's College library, Cambridge, was his gift to the school. Reference: VD16 B2869; Rumball-Petre262; Darlow & Moule 8472; Graesse, I, 386; Palau 2894; Adams B12061. Description: 17th-century English calf, rebacked with new spine gilt extra very suitable in style; leather of covers a bit crackled and variously darkened; small areas of the covers at board edges replaced with new leather sympathetically gilt-tooled. Lacks the blank preliminary leaf and the four leaves at the end of "Annotationes breves sobre los lugares . . . ", both of which are very often lacking, the latter leaves having perhaps (even probably) been printed separately and later. Small piece of front fly-leaf cut away (probably removing an ownership inscription). The occasional instance of light soil or light waterstaining to fore- or bottom margins, sometimes reaching text; a generally clean and good copy. All edges mottled red and blue-green. History: The earliest edition of the complete Bible in Spanish. Following the success of producing the world's first polyglot Bible, Spain retreated from printing Bibles in an almost absolute way after the onset of the Reformation. Given the emphasis that Reformation leaders placed on accessible Bibles in the vernacular tongues, Spain, as a staunchly non-Reformation country heeding the Church's stricture against translation into the vernacular, produced no Bible in Spanish actually in Spain until the late 18th century. Rather, the production of a Bible in Spanish fell to a peripatetic exiled Spaniard named Casiodoro de Reina (ca. 1520–94), a man who began his adult life as a monk, came under suspicion of being a "Reformist," and fled Spain for Geneva — later fleeing that city for a series of others and declaring it "a new Rome" for its intolerance of new ideas. Whether the translation is solely from his pen or is the work of a committee in which he was primus inter pares is not known. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Paris, Apud Michaëlum de Roigny, 1569. Small 8vo. Very nice recent half calf with five raised bandsand gilt title to spine. Old owner's name to title-page (discreet). A nice and clean copy with only minor, very light soiling. Nice woodcut initials. 51 ff. ¶ Very rare first edition of this work on the freedom and immortality of the soul, by the father of the famous physicist and anatomist, Jean Riolan the Younger. Jean Riolan the Elder (1539-1605) was also himself a noted French anatomist and a leading member of the medical faculty of Paris. He fought against the novelties that entered the faculty due to Paracelsus and authored a number of works attacking the most famous of the scientists who were in favour of chemical means. Works by him are of great scarcity.The work, which is divided into three parts attacks the theories on the soul of Pomponazzi, Portius, Sepulveda, and Cardano, and as such it is an important document in the seminal controversy about the immortality odf the soul which dominated most philosohical thought of the Renaissance.We have been unable to find the work in any bibliographies.

Lyons: G. Rouille, 1569. First edition of one of the great rarities of the surgical literature; besides Paré's Dix Livres de Chirurgie (1564), the present work is the most important French surgical book of the 16th century. Most scholars have been unaware of the 1569 edition and usually cite the 1570 edition as the first (for example, see D.S.B. and Ernst Weil's Cat. 24, item 72). OCLC locates only two copies — at the Wellcome and Edinburgh University Library (the copy in Paris is a microfilm). There is no copy in the U.S. Dalechamps (1513-88), a native of Caen, is probably best described as a "medical humanist." After taking his medical degree at Montpellier, where he studied under Rondelet, he moved to Lyons and spent the rest of his life there. His friends and correspondents included Rondelet, Conrad Gesner, Joseph Justus Scaliger, Robert Constantin, and Jean Fernel. Dalechamps also translated texts or contributed to editions of Pliny the Elder, the two Senecas, Dioscorides, Theophrastus, and Galen. This book is partly based on Dalechamps' translation of Book VI — De Chirurgia — from Paulus of Aegineta's De Re Medica, his great and original surgical text. Dalechamps also incorporated material from other sources, including Ambroise Paré and Jacques Roy. But the most important aspect of this work is Dalechamp's incredibly extensive notes, annotations, and commentaries throughout, based on his years of surgical experience. The extensive section on surgical instruments is largely original and an important contribution to our knowledge of French Renaissance surgery. Fine copy with extensive contemporary annotations in a neat and minute hand. ❧ D.S.B., III, pp. 533-34. Not in Cushing, Durling, or Osler.

OCLC locates only two copies — at the Wellcome and Edinburgh University Library (the copy in Paris is a microfilm). There is no copy in the U.S. Dalechamps (1513-88), a native of Caen, is probably best described as a "medical humanist." After taking his medical degree at Montpellier, where he studied under Rondelet, he moved to Lyons and spent the rest of his life there. His friends and correspondents included Rondelet, Conrad Gesner, Joseph Justus Scaliger, Robert Constantin, and Jean Fernel. Dalechamps also translated texts or contributed to editions of Pliny the Elder, the two Senecas, Dioscorides, Theophrastus, and Galen. This book is partly based on Dalechamps’ translation of Book VI — De Chirurgia — from Paulus of Aegineta’s De Re Medica, his great and original surgical text. Dalechamps also incorporated material from other sources, including Ambroise Paré and Jacques Roy. But the most important aspect of this work is Dalechamp’s incredibly extensive notes, annotations, and commentaries throughout, based on his years of surgical experience. The extensive section on surgical instruments is largely original and an important contribution to our knowledge of French Renaissance surgery. Fine copy with extensive contemporary annotations in a neat and minute hand. ? D.S.B., III, pp. 533-34. Not in Cushing, Durling, or Osler. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Title page followed by another reading Le Primer Report des Cases et Matters en Ley Resolves & Adjudges en les Courts del Roy en Ireland with the imprint London: Printed for the Company of Stationers, 1628. [with] Une Exact Table al Report de Sir John Davys Chivaler, Atturney General del Roy en Ireland. Dublin: s.n., 1677. 7 ff. Folio (10-1/2" x 7").

Armorial bookplates of Sir Frederick Pollock and Henry Lord Langdale to front pastedown. Attractive woodcut head-pieces. Toning, light browning to a few leaves. Annotations in Pollock's hand to verso of front endleaf and several text leaves, along with some underlining, annotations in an early hand to a few other leaves. * Third edition (as issued). Davies, or Davys, was a highly respected lawyer, judge, statesman and man of letters. First issued in Dublin in 1615, Davies's Reports covers cases from 1604 to 1612. Selected "principally for the use and benefit of our practisers here in Ireland," it soon became an oft-cited authority in England; It was praised by Willes, Lee and Lords Kenyon and Tindal. Sir Frederick Pollock [1845-1937] was one of the greatest British judges and legal scholars of his day. His treatises on contracts, jurisprudence the common law and other subjects did much to clarify and systematize English law. Several of these were standard texts that went through several editions. He is also remembered for his collaboration with F.W. Maitland on The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I and his correspondence with Oliver Wendell Holmes, which was published posthumously as The Holmes-Pollock Letters.

1569. Bracton, Henry de, [d. 1268]. De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae, Libri Quinq; In Varios Tractatus Distincti, ad Diversorum et Vetustissimorum Codicum Collationem, Ingenti Cura, Nunc Primu Typis Vulgati; Quorum Quid Cuiq; Insit, Proxima Pagina Demonstrabit. London: Apud Richardum Tottellum, 1569. [xvi], 444 [i.e. 442] ff. Folio (10-3/4" x 7-1/2"). Recent period-style calf, blind rules to boards, raised bands to spine, endpapers renewed. Light soiling to title page, following leaf, and final two leaves. Attractive large woodcut decorated initials. Early inscription and "M. Foster/ 1736" to head of title page, bookplate of The Hon. Henry Booth to recto of *3. A few small inkstains, underlining and annotations in fine early hand to some passages, interior otherwise clean. Discoloration to margins of a few leaves, text otherwise fresh. Ex-institution library. An appealing copy of a landmark work. * First edition. De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae [The Laws and Customs of England] is the first treatise on English law. A systematic work, it emphasizes the separation of procedural and substantive matters and also cites cases as sources of at least intellectual, if not formal, authority. In Maitland's words, Bracton's Legibus is "the crown and flower of English medieval jurisprudence" and "by far the greatest of our medieval law books." Sweet & Maxwell add that it "is distinguished by rich casuistic details, and by the careful reproduction of the judicial decisions on individual cases of law" (Sweet & Maxwell). "M. Foster" is probably Sir Michael Foster [1689-1763], the judge and legal writer. Sweet & Maxwell, A Legal Bibliography of the British Commonwealth 1:51(6). Maitland, Collected Works II:43.

London, Richard Tottell,, 1569. in varios tractatus distincti, ad diversorum et vetustissimorum codicum collationem, ingenti cura, nunc primum typis vulgati: quorum quid cuique insit, proxima pagina demonstrabit. Folio (293 × 195 mm). Contemporary calf, rebacked and recornered with old gilt spine laid down. Rubbed, front joint a little worn, title slightly soiled, marginal tear to f. 288 not affecting text, finger-mark to the gutter of f. 355 and small burn-mark to f. 422 touching a couple of letters, these flaws minor only and not detracting significantly from a very good copy. First Edition of a classic of English law, “incomparably the best work produced by any lawyer in the middle ages” (Encyclopaedia Britannica), “a formulation of principles which have determined the whole development of English law, of which the use of precedents is perhaps the most characteristic”, and “a model for legal literature until the present day” (PMM).

RIOLAN the elder, JEAN).
Apologia Philosophica et Christiana, pro Animi libertate.
|
- Paris, Apud Michaëlum de Roigny, 1569. Small 8vo. Very nice recent half calf with five raised bands and gilt title to spine. Old owner's name to title-page (discreet). A nice and clean copy with only minor, very light soiling. Nice woodcut initials. 51 ff. Very rare first edition of this work on the freedom and immortality of the soul, by the father of the famous physicist and anatomist, Jean Riolan the Younger. Jean Riolan the Elder (1539-1605) was also himself a noted French anatomist and a leading member of the medical faculty of Paris. He fought against the novelties that entered the faculty due to Paracelsus and authored a number of works attacking the most famous of the scientists who were in favour of chemical means. Works by him are of great scarcity.The work, which is divided into three parts attacks the theories on the soul of Pomponazzi, Portius, Sepulveda, and Cardano, and as such it is an important document in the seminal controversy about the immortality odf the soul which dominated most philosohical thought of the Renaissance.We have been unable to find the work in any bibliographies.

BARBARO, Daniele
La Pratica della Perspettiva di... Opera molto utile a Pittori, a Scultori, & ad Architetti.
|
Venecia, Camillo & Rutilio Borgominieri, 1569. En folio. 196 pp. (la última blanca), (6) hojas. Portada con marca del impresor y primeras dos palabras dentro de cartela grabada, c.200 grabados en madera incluyendo 22 grabados a toda página, un grabado a doble página y una lámina al fin. Encuadernación del siglo dieciocho en pergamino a la romana, expertamente restaurada en los cajos. Primera edición, segunda emisión, de este importante tratado de perspectiva con aplicaciones a la arquitectura y escultura. Danielle Barbaro escribe este tratado, según relata en el prefacio, porque el libro de Commandino sobre perspectiva publicado unos años antes era demasiado científico e incomprensible para los artistas; con la ayuda de Bartolomeo Zamberti, hermano del traductor de Euclides, y la recopilación de diferentes textos que incluían las obras de Pelerin, Durero, Serlio, Cataneo, y el tratado sin publicar de Pietro della Francesca redactado nueve años antes y que circulaba en manuscrito entre los escolares, escribe la presente obra con la intención de hacer más comprensible la perspectiva a los arquitectos, escultores y artistas de todo género. Dividido en tres partes, la primera examina los principios de la perspectiva y de su representación gráfica; en la segunda parte discute sobre los poliedros regulares continuando la tradición comenzada por Luca Pacioli. La tercera parte lo dedica al estudio de la escenografía, ilusión óptica, planisferios, sombras, luces y colores, las dimensiones del cuerpo humano, así como instrumentos para el dibujo de la perspectiva. Su mayor contribución en esta tercera parte es la primera descripción analítica y científica de la "cámara oscura". De acuerdo con Mortimer, Italian 16th Century Books, se conocen diferentes variantes de esta edición: la primera emisión tiene portada y colofón fechados en 1568, ambas fechas se cambiaron a 1569, pero las hojas se mezclaron por lo que existen ejemplares con fecha de 1569 en la portada y 1568 en el colofón o viceversa, así como con fecha de 1569 en portada y colofón; además existe otra emisión con portada grabada sin fecha y colofón fechado en 1569 e impresa sobre diferente papel. Ilustrada con más de doscientos grabados en madera, la mayoría diagramas, incluye 22 ilustraciones a toda página, un grabado a doble página y una lámina al final que representa un nuevo instrumento para tomar medidas inventado por Giacomo Fusto Castriotto. Las hojas T4v-V1v contienen los tres famosos grabados de escenarios teatrales de Francesco Franceschi; el grabado en Aa2r es una copia libre del que realizó Durero en 1525 para su "Underweysung der messung". Buen ejemplar en general, ligeros puntos de óxido ocasionales, algunas hojas amarronadas. Referencias: Mortimer 39; Fowler 36; Berlin Catalog 4694; Brunet I, 644; Mark J. Millard, Italian and Spanish Books, 12; Riccardi I, 76-77; Cicognara I, 809 First edition, second issue. With over 200 engraved woodcuts throughout including 22 full-page and one double-page. This treatise was prepared, as the author writes in the preface, because other works were too abstruse to be useful to artist. "La Pratica della Perspectiva" is divided into three main parts: the first part is devoted to the principles of perspective, their consequence and graphic representation; in part two Barbaro offers a discussion on the five regular polyhedrons, continuing the tradition begun by Luca Pacioli; part three is a study of scenography, optical illusion, planispheres, shadows, lights and colors, the dimension of human body and the instruments for drawing perspective. Eighteenth century vellum; good copy, some light foxing.
