- Frankfurt, typus Wechelianis, 1601 Folio, pp. (xxxii) 470 (ii). Grecs du Roi type, printer's ornate Pegasus device on t-p and verso of last, ornate woodcut initials and ornaments, 6pp. of tables within triple-ruled printed frames with large headpiece of figures, grotesques, fruit and foliage to each. C19 autograph of John G. Bull, Inworth at head of t-p, his armorial bookplate on front pastedown below extensive C19 bibl. notes and ex libris of the college of St Michael and all the Angels, Tenbury, in memoriam Henry John Burfield, Hon. Canon of Ripon. Very slight age yellowing, t-p and a couple of prelims slightly dusty, a very good, clean, well-margined copy in contemp. calf, covers ruled in gilt and blind, florets at corners, inner panel gilt and blind with large gilt corner fleurons and Royal arms; rebacked, spine remounted with two minor repairs. A reprint in the same typefaces of Robert Estienne's celebrated edition of 1550, the 'Editio Regia', described by Dibdin (I p121) as "the splendid and critical edition which has so justly excited the admiration of the curious and learned" and distinguished for its critical apparatus. Proctor in his 'French Royal Greek Types' gives the following information on the printing of this edition: "Andreas, the son of Christian Wechel, having with difficulty survived the massacre of S. Bartholomew by the aid of Hubert Languet, escaped to Frankfurt-am-Main, and took with him a set of letters of all three royal types. Andreas himself died in 1581 but his business was carried on by his son John and by Claude Marny and Jean Aubry, like himself, Huguenot refugees. InÉ1601Éthey issued an exact reprint of Robert Estienne's folio New Testament of 1550 in the same types, all three being used in the volume." Also according to Proctor John Norton, Sir Henry Savile's printer, bought from this Frankfurt press the matrices of the so-called 'Silver-Type' used to print the great Eton Chrysostom. The arms on the covers are those of James I, partly within ornamental frame, very clearly stamped and richly gilt. This may indicate the volume was in the Royal collection but more probably in that of an institution closely associated with the king such as a Royal chapel; volumes with the royal arms were also used as gifts or marks of the King's favour or patronage either to individuals or to Royal foundations.

Lycophron.
Alexandra. Cum eruditissimis Isacii Tzetzis commentariis, ex fide manuscripti emendatioribus factis.
|
Excudebat Paulus Stephanus. , 1601 - a few light spots, a small dampmark to second leaf, old ownership inscription to title (gently washed), pp. [xvi], 211, [1], 59, [1], 4to., attractive eighteenth century mottled calf, backstrip with five raised bands, pale label in second compartment, the rest with central gilt thistle tools and corner sprays, boards bordered with a double gilt fillet, marbled endpapers, backstrip sunned, front joint just cracking at head, bookplate (St Benedict’s Abbey, Fort-Augustus, Scotland) and shelfmark to front pastedown, good ‘One of the best early editions of this long and proverbially obscure Greek poem’ (Schreiber). The only surviving Byzantine commentary, attributed to both John Tzeztes and his brother Isaac (and probably written by one and expanded by the other), itself an important source for quoted fragments, is printed with the poem, as is a Latin translation and notes by Willem Canter. This copy was in the library of the Benedictine abbey at Fort-Augustus, Scotland, which remarkable collection is said to have been brought over from a suppressed monastery at Regensberg in the 1860s, and was dispersed after that abbey was closed in 1998. The title bears an earlier inscription of a Spanish religious institution. (Schreiber 272; Renouard 196.10; Schweiger I 200) [Attributes: Hard Cover]

MAGE de FIEFMELIN (André)
La Polymnie, ou diverse poesie. [A la suite :] L'Image d'un Mage ou le Spirituel.
|
Poitiers, Jean de Marnef, 1601. - 2 parties en 1 fort vol. petit in-12, parchemin souple à rabats, titre écrit à la plume au dos. Reliure de l'époque usée et déboîtée, petits trous au 2nd plat. (4) ff., 72 ff. (mal chiffrés 69); (2) ff., puis pp. 70 à 312, (1) f. (nombreuses erreurs de pagination). Signatures : [N-S]12 T4; [Aa-Vv]12 Xx8. Plusieurs ff. intervertis dans le premier cahier. Il manque le cahier Oo (ff. 223 à 234). Quelques mouillures, galerie de vers dans la marge sup. avec quelques légères atteintes au texte en fin de volume, qq. racommodages. Edition originale, rarissime, des oeuvres poétiques du saintongeais Mage de Fiefmelin (vers 1558 - après 1603), officier de justice à l'île d'Oléron où il passa toute sa vie. Il fit imprimer tardivement ses oeuvres poétiques sur la sollicitation d'Anne de Pons, comtesse de Marennes. Ce volume contient l'ensemble des oeuvres de Mage, à l'exception de l'Accueil poétique et chrestien (qui comprenait ses oeuvres théâtrales). La première partie, Polymnie, comprend des odes, sonnets et épigrammes et un poème intitulé Le Saulnier, ou la façon des marois salans, & du sel marin des Isles de sainctonge. Le second recueil, intitulé L'Image du Mage, est divisé en sept "essais du sprirituel" (Les prières, L'Homme naturel, L'Ame humaine, Les Saincts souspirs, Les Muses celestes, Les Méditations, La Chrestienne). On y relève une particularité curieuse : c'est que mage y a réutilisé, pour des sujets religieux, des vers qu'il avait destiné à l'origine à ses maîtresses. Bien que notre exemplaire soit incomplet d'un cahier (dans le 5ème essai du sprirituel), ce recueil n'en demeure pas moins précieux, car les exemplaires conservés sont fort rares (et quasiment tous incomplets). Le bibliographe du catalogue de la bibliothèque Soleinne précise d'ailleurs : "Ce volume est formé de plusieurs parties imprimées et augmentées successivement, en sorte que les exemplaires sont plus ou moins complets et très-difficiles à collationner". Il manque d'ailleurs à la plupart des grandes collections poétiques (Viollet-Le-Duc, De Backer etc.) Cioranescu, 13897; Arbour, 3354; Soleinne, 886; La Bouralière, 160; Brunet II, 1247 ("très rare").

HIPPOCRATES & Johannes HEURNIUS.
Rare first edition of a successful edition and translation by the first Leiden Professor of Medicine Aphorismi Graece, & Latine. Brevi enarratione, sidaque interpretatione ita illustrati, ut ab omnibus facile intelligi possint. Cum historiis, observationibus, cautionibus, & remediis selectis.

(Leyden), ex Officina Plantiniana by Christopher Raphelengius, 1601.. 16mo. Contemporay vellum with title in ink on spine. Woodcut printer's device on title, woodcut initials. (16), 512, (16) pp.. Rare first edition of the Aphorisms of Hippocrates of Cos (460-370 BC), the father of Medicine, edited and translated into Latin by the famous first Leyden professor of medicine Johannes Heurnius (1543-1601). The aphorisms of Hippocrates are the earliest collection of the kind. It is a series of observations from which the patient's affliction could be deduced and treatment prescribed. Their broad application made them exceptionally valuable to medical practitioners of the time. Included are notable and often invoked phrases as: 'Life is short, [the] art long' and 'The physician must not only be prepared to do what is right himself, but also to make the patient, the attendants, and externals cooperate'.The translater and editor Joannes Heurnius (Jan van Heurne) had studied at the Hieronymus School in his native town, under a.o. Georgius Macropedius. Afterwards he continued his studies in Louvain (with Gemma Frisius), Paris, where he developed an interest in surgery and finally Padua, the cradle of European medical education, in 1567. In Padua Heurnius became acquainted with the teaching of medical students at the bedside; this innovation had been introduced by Battista da Monte some decades before. He graduated in Padua in 1571 and became immediately court physician of Francois Perrenot, the nephew of Count Granvelle. He held this position until 1573, when he returned to his native town, where he practiced until 1581, when he was appointed professor of medicine at the Leiden University. He was also the physician of William the Silent and Prince Maurits. He introduced for the first time bedside teaching for medical students in Northern Europe. The 'Series lectionum' of the Laiden University annouce lectures of the Aphorisms of Hippocrates in 1599.Apparently the translation by Heurnius was very successful. Re-editions appeared in 1607 (in Leiden and Antwerp), 1609, 1611 - both by the Officina Plantiniana at Leiden -, a 'second edition' was published in 1623 by J. le Maire at Leiden; further editions: 1615 (Lyon, Widow of Ant. de Harsy) and 1690 in Jena. Good copy with ms. ownership's entries on cover and title and some contemporary annotations.- (Binding a bit wrinkled, front hinge loose).

Aufl. 01.2009 Aus der Reihe : Studien zur Europäischen Rechtsgeschichte 236 verwandte Themen : Recht [DNB] Geschichte [DNB] Bibliographie [DNB] 164,00 Eur[D] This bibliography represents the first attempt to assemble the totality of the juristic production of a major European country for an entire century of the modern period. The three volumes register 7.700 editions of works of law printed in Italy between 1601 and 1700. The production of well over a thousand jurists, the vast majority hitherto unknown to legal-historical scholarship, is here made accessible for the first time. At centre stage remains the canon law of the Catholic Church, whether addressing the legal affairs of the revived religious orders and the various ecclesiastical jurisdictions, or expounding the intricate casus conscientiae. Another feature is the wealth of collections of the consilia and decisiones of the great tribunals of the Italian cities. A special section is devoted to legal sources, including the statutes of the Italian cities, of trade, professional, educational, beneficient and religious associations and orders, and over 750 editions of the decrees of all provincial, diocesan and local synods. The accompanying PDF-file on CD-Rom enables the user to quickly search any word throughout the catalogue. The work is based on over twenty years research in Italian libraries, and also draws on the vast holdings of the Max Planck Institute in Frankfurt and the Robbins Collection in Berkeley as well as important modern published catalogues such as those of Cambridge and the British Library. Where possible, the holdings of specialist legal libraries have been described in their entirety through direct inspection of the books. Each edition is given a detailed bibliographical description including author, extensive title transcription, imprint, colophon, format and pagination; every library copy is listed with its individual shelf-mark. This bibliography will prove an indispensable research resource not just for the historian of law, but for anyone interested in the Church, social relations and the general culture of Italy in the century of the Baroque.

Contemporary vellum over paste-board (a bit soiled, extremities lightly scuffed). Provenance: Near contemporary annotations on front past-down. First editions in Dutch: Herrera's "Nieuwe Werelt", was first published in Spanish in Madrid in 1601; first editions of Cevallos's "Eyghentlijcke Beschryvinghe van West-Indien", Amsterdam 1621 and Le Maire's "Spieghel der Australische Navigatie", Amsterdam 1622, together a collection of then available accounts of the New World. The last few pages give brief summaries of ten separate voyages through the Strait of Magellan: beginning with Magellan in 1520 and Olvier van Noort in 1598. Michel Colin issued simultaneous collected editions in Latin, French and Dutch in 1622. The heirs of Theodore de Bry reprinted Herrera's work in Frankfurt in 1623 as the twelfth part of their "Great Voyages", with reduced versions of the plates. Herrera was official historian to Kings Philip II, III, and IV, and his "Nieuwe Werelt" is essentially an introductory work to his magnum opus "Historia general de los hechos de los castellanos en las islas Terra Firme del mar oceano?" which eventually covered eight decades of voyages and travels published in 1601-1615.

Annotazioni manoscritte coevealla prima c. bianca. P. pg. coeva restaurata. Statuti dellalocalità di Sale, nel Pavese, risalenti al 1427. La cittadina fu infeudata per alcuni anni da Francesco Bussone, detto il Carmagnola. Nel 1413, e poi ancora nel 1424, Sale - così come altri centri lombardi minori - si separarono dai contadi ai quali avrebbero dovuto appartenere, venendo così a ricoprire un'autonomia più piena. La rescissione dei legami con la città, e con lo statuto urbano, richiedeva pertanto una normativa specifica. La separazione comportò di norma la redazione di un nuovo statuto come avvenne per Sale separata da Filippo Maria Visconti nella nuova fase di guerre intraprese alla riconquista del ducato.

STOW, John
Annales of England
|
1601 1601 - STOW, John. The Annales of England, Faithfully Collected out of the Most Autenticall Authors, Records, and Other Monuments of Antiquitie. London: Ralfe Newbery, [1601]. Thick square octavo, early full brown diced calf rebacked, marbled endpapers. $4500. 1601 enlarged edition of the Summarie of Englyshe Chronicles, "lately corrected, encreased, and continued, from the first inhabitation until this present yeere 1601"—contemporary with Grafton and Holinshed (the second edition of which was actually edited by Stow). First published in 1565 under the title, Summarie of Englyshe Chronicles, this monument of British history was continually updated and re-issued until 1631. A master tailor by trade, John Stow abandoned his occupation in 1560 to devote all his time to "the collection of printed books, legal and literary documents, and charters, in the transcription of ancient manuscripts, inscriptions, and the like, all dealing with English history, archeology, and literature Some time after the death of Reginald Wolfe (the projector of Holinshed's 'Chronicles') in 1573, Stow purchased Wolfe's collections It was not until 1565 that he produced his first Summarie of Englyshe Chronicles. The work was well received, and was frequently reissued until the year preceding Stow's death [1605], with successive additions bringing the information up to date" (DNB). This edition of 1601 is generally considered the third (Joseph Allen Bryant, Jr.). Shakespeare scholars have determined that Stow's Annales clearly furnished ideas and imagery for Henry IV, Part Two and may have been a source for a number of key passages in Henry V (see Whitaker, 144-45; Bullough IV, 155ff). "Hal's pranks have been splendidly elaborated on hints mainly supplied by Stow" (Bullough IV, 177). Printed in Gothic type, decorated with woodcut title page and initial letters. STC 23336. See Lowndes, 2525; Brunet V, 553; Graesse VI, 505. Armorial bookplates (including Henry Charles Harford and Trinity College, Cambridge), early owner signatures on title page, owner annotations tipped in. Text generally quite clean, title page lightly embrowned, rubbing to early boards. A very desirable copy of a critical historical sourcebook.

Frankfurt, Romani Beati Erben, 1601. - Seltene erste deutsche Ausgabe des frühen physiognomischen Werkes. "Della Porta preceded Lavater in attempting to estimate human character by the features. He was the founder of physiognomy and this is one of the earliest works on this subject" (Garrison/Morton zur lat. Ausgabe von 1586). Porta (1535-1615) war neapolitanischer Arzt, Universalgelehrter und Dramatiker. Durch seine Methodik und Objektivität gilt er als einer der ersten Naturwissenschaftler im modernen Sinne. Im Jahre 1558 veröffentlichte er die ?Magia naturalis", die ihn bekannt machte. Eine von ihm zwei Jahre später in Neapel gegründete Gesellschaft zur Erforschung der Natur, die "Academia Secretorum Naturae", mußte auf Befehl des Papstes wieder aufgelöst werden. Endgültig berühmt machte ihn seine 1563 erschienene profunde Schrift über Kryptologie mit dem Titel "De furtivis literarum notis" (Anmerkungen über versteckte Buchstaben). Das vorliegende Buch, 1586 unter dem Titel "De humana physiognomia" erschienen, ist Portas zweites Hauptwerk. Seine Beschäftigung mit Magie und Physiognomie führte 1592 dazu, daß er sich vor der Inquisition zu verantworten hatte. Daraufhin zog er sich von wissenschaftlicher Arbeit zurück und wandte sich der Literatur zu. Seine Komödie "La Trappolaria", eines von vielen erfolgreichen dramatischen Werken, erschien 1596. ? Nach VD17 Variante B mit der Kustode "XX Figur" statt nur "XX" auf dem letzten Blatt des "Register" genannten Inhalsverzeichnisses. ? Titel mit kleinem altem Adelsstempel.

Thick octavo, contemporary full polished paneled brown calf sympathetically rebacked, raised bands, dark red morocco spine label. $4800. 1601 Barker Geneva Bible, illustrated with woodcut ornaments and title page, in handsome contemporary paneled calf. Upon Queen Mary's accession in 1553, "publication of the English Bible ceased in England. Many Protestants who fled to the Continent were attracted to Calvin's Geneva. Among these exiles were eminent English Bible scholars who began work on a new translation" (The Bible: 100 Landmarks 62). First published in 1560, the Geneva Bible-often called the "Breeches Bible" for its rendering of Genesis 3:7-was "more scholarly than any previous translation! [It] achieved immediate popularity and exerted an extremely powerful influence! The Geneva Version included prefaces, maps and tables; and for the first time in an English Bible the verses were divided and numbered! It has been more properly called the Elizabethan family Bible, since it was this version which was the first to enter the English home" (PMM 83). "It became the textus receptus for the Puritan element in England. It was read by Shakespeare, Bunyan and the soldiers of the Civil War, and is thus of cardinal importance for its influence on the English language, literature and thought" (Great Books and Book Collectors, 105-8).

Leaf A4, Personnages, is mounted. 1f title page, verso blank; 4p dedication to Altesse Royale wife of Gaston d'Orelans; 1p Personnages; 1p Argument; 83p text. Collation: A-L4, M2. The King of Sardinia falls in love with Roselie, the daughter of the sage philosopher, Ariste. The King asks for the girl to become his mistress. Ariste refuses to allow this. The King then commands Palamède to bring her, to become Queen. Palamède is Roselie's lover (although this is not known to the King). Roselie takes poison and seems to die. Ariste loses his mind, but regains it when Roselie comes back to life. She again threatens suicide when required to marry the King, after which the King, feeling remorse over his treatment of her and his abuse of Roselie's lover Palamède, he bows out, allowing the lovers to marry. The plot is based on La Calprenède's Edouard and Tristan's own attack of delirium experienced during the siege of Montauban. This is the author's only tragic comedy. The character of Ariste has generated much interest among critics. Bernardin considers this the most original of Tristan's works, due to the strength of Ariste's conflict with the King, which is dramatically rendered. Lancaster finds Ariste's soliloquy on suicide (I,2) curiously resembling Hamlet's, and admires the originality of Ariste's celebrated outburst on the subject of medicine (IV,1). Brereton notes that Ariste's character is quite out of place within the action of the play. It is perhaps because the character may be Richelie's "chief effort at influencing the drama and at using a play for political propaganda." References: Bernardin Nm. M.

Ingolstadt, Getruckt in der Ederischen Truckery durch Andreas Angermayr, 1601. - Kl.-4to. Mit 23 Textholzschnitten. Titel in Rot und Schwarz. [8], 227, [4] S. Pergamentband d. Z. unter Verwendung eines Manuskriptblattes des 16. Jhdts., mit zwei (von vier) Schliessbändern (Rücken etwas beschädigt). Eine der grossen Seltenheiten der deutschsprachigen medizinischen Literatur. Das Hebammenbuch des Passauer Stadtarztes Johann Hiltprand (oder Hildebrand) ist eine Anleitung zur Verbesserung und Ordnung des Berufsstandes. Es richtet sich aber zugleich auch direkt an die Schwangeren selbst, klärt sie über die Schwangerschaft und den Geburtsvorgang auf, gibt Ratschläge zur Einrichtung der Wochenstube und fordert die Frauen bereits auf, Schwangerschaftsgymnastik zu treiben und sich eine adäquate Atemtechnik für die bevorstehende Geburt anzueignen. Hiltprand widmete sein Buch dem Bürgermeister und Rat von Passau, wo er seit 1580 als Stadtphysicus wirkte. Es stellt auch die erste Passauer Hebammenordnung dar, die im Druck erschien, die älteste deutsche Hebammenordnung (Regensburg) geht auf das Jahr 1452 zurück. Die Holzschnitte (Uterusbilder) sind Jakob Rueffs Hebammenbuch von 1580 entnommen. Die "Figuren mit Erklärung der Geburtsglieder" hat Hiltprand nach "dem hochgelehrten und wohl erfahrnen Anatomo Andrea Vesalio" (S. 33) kopieren lassen. Die Erstausgabe des Hiltprandschen Hebammenbuchs erschien 1595 bei Matthäus Nenninger in Passau und ist nur noch in einem einzigen Exemplar in der Bibliothek des Germanischen Nationalmuseums in Nürnberg erhalten. Von der vorliegenden, ebenfalls äusserst seltenen zweiten Ausgabe konnten wir lediglich vier Exemplare in deutschen Bibliotheken (Berlin, Marburg, Bonn und Wolfenbüttel) sowie eines in Amerika (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda) nachweisen. - Geringfügig gebräunt, Vorsätze beschmutzt, kurzer Wurmgang in den S. 79-112 mit gelegentlich geringem Buchstabenverlust, vereinzelte schwache Wasserflecken. Aus der Bibliothek von Walther Pfeilsticker (1880-1969), Karlsruher Arzt, Medizinhistoriker und Genealoge, mit dessen Besitzstempel im vorderen Innendeckel. Vd 17 (Online Kat.) 23:635086Z (Ex. Wolfenbüttel); Krivatsy 5615; Stalla 149; vgl. Speert, Iconographia gyniatrica, 5-16 und Abb. 5-10; Kat. Taeuber & Weil, Alte Medizin (1926), 199; Becker, Amman, Nr. 30; Flügge, Hebammen und heilkundige Frauen (1998), 531. One of the great rarities in German medical literature. The illustrated work on obstetrics by the Passau physician Johann Hildebrand (or Hiltprand) was written mainly for the benefit and training of nurse-midwives but also offers direct advice (such as breath training and gymnastics) to pregnant women. - The 23 woodcuts in the text are mainly based on those first published in Jacob Rueff's Trostbuechle (Zurich, 1554). - The first edition, of which only one copy seems to have survived (German National Museum, Nuremberg), was printed by Matthaeus Nenninger in Passau in 1595. Of the present second edition only a few copies are recorded in German libraries (Berlin, Marburg, Bonn, Wolfenbüttel) and one copy in the U.S. (National Library of Medicine in Bethesda ) - Title slightly browned, short worm track in lower inner margin (loss of few letters) and in upper margins of p. 79-112, fly-leaves soiled, some minor water stains, else a well preserved copy of this rarity. - Bound in contemporary manuscript leaf (ties of back cover gone, spine damaged). - From the library of Walther Pfeilsticker, German physician and medical historian, with his stamp on inner front cover.

Comines, Philippe de
The Historie of Philip de Commines Knight, Lord of Argenton. [Translation by Thomas Danett, with dedicatory Epistle to Lord Burghley signed by him.]
|
London: Imprinted at London by Ar. Hatfield for I. Norton, 1601. Second edition in English. Small folio. Title page within large historiated woodcut border bearing the royal arms and motto ("Honi soit qui mal y pense" ), the crest of Burghley, and the printer's beehive device; several large inital woodcut capitals throughout, and genealogical table in rear. [16], 364 pp. Bound in contemporary paneled calf central gilt lozenge, last nine leaves of genealogical tables have contemporary manuscript notes. Upper covers split and pulling away from boards which are nevertheless firmly attached by cords; front free endpaper missing; internally very good. STC 5603 . Second edition in English of a primary source for 15th century European history. Commines has been called "the first critical and philosophical historian since classical times" (Oxford Companion to English Literature), principally for his shrewd and practical insight into the political realities of his day, his psychological insight, and his forthright account of the machinations of the politicians he described. His history is divided into 8 books, the first six of which deal with the reign of Louis XI; the last two deal with the Italian wars of Charles VIII, ending with his death Thomas Danett's English translation was first published in 1596. In his dedication to Lord Burghley, dated 1 Nov. 1596, Danett states that thirty years before he presented Lord Burghley and "the late Earle of Leicester my Lord" his 'historie of Commines, rudely translated into our vulgar toong,' and that he later revised and enlarged his translation at the request of Sir Christopher Hatton. According to the DNB, Danett (fl. 1566-1601) was also the author of the following works: "1. The Description of the Low Countreys and of the Prouinces thereof, gathered into an Epitome out of the Historie of Lodouico Guicchardini,' London, 1593, dedicated to Lord Burghley. 2. A Continuation of the Historie of France from the death of Charles the Eight, where Comines endeth, till the death of Henry the Second [1559], collected by Thomas Danett, gentleman,' London, 1600, dedicated to Lord Buckhurst. ..."

CASSERIUS, Giulio Cesare
De vocis auditusq[ue] organis historia anatomica singulari
|
[Ferrara]:: [Victorius Baldinus],, [1601] (second colophon, 1600). FIRST EDITION. . Two parts in one. Folio (395 x 263 mm). . Elaborately engraved title, 2 engraved portraits, and 33 engraved anatomical plates. Our copy is one of a few printed with a blank verso M3, a printer's error, considered by researchers to be an earlier issue. It is also bound in the original boards, and due to a probable binder's error, it was bound without 4 congruent text leaves (Q2-3 and B2-3), which are supplied in facsimile. A few insignificant spots, but overall a handsome and elegant copy. The words "Enatomia placem" (?) in contemporary manuscript to top and bottom fore-edges. First edition of the most beautiful and celebrated book published on the ear and throat, with drawings based on Casserius' human and animal dissections. His detailed and accurate studies included a wide range of animals: mammals, birds, amphibians, and insects, all examined in relation to human organs. The plates were executed by the German painter and etcher Joseph Maurer, and are the most accurate in the history of comparative anatomy. "Casserius' plates mark a new epoch in the history of anatomic representation, owing to the correctness of their anatomical drawing, their tasteful arrangement, and the beauty of their technical execution . . . They have become the models for anatomic illustrations in copper, just as the Vesalian representations had been for anatomic woodcuts" (see Choulant-Frank, p. 228).#11;#11;The work is divided into two separate parts, one on the organs of speech, and the other on hearing. It records the first accurate description of the laryngeal muscles and nerves as well as the first useful account of the nature of sound, with a comparative examination of the mechanism of phonation and the auditory organs in fish.#11;#11;Casserius (1552-1616) was a pupil and assistant to Fabricus. A successful anatomist and surgeon, he died before succeeding Fabricus to the chair of anatomy at Padua.#11;

Lisboa Por Antonio Alvarez 1601 - In-4 de 7 ff.n.ch., 211 ff.ch. et 1 f.n.ch. ; maroquin rouge, dos à nerfs orné, triple filet doré encadrant les plats, dentelle int. et tranches dorées (Emile Rousselle). Quaritch, A cat. of Medieval literature, 332. Troisième édition. João de Barros (1497-1570) n'a guère plus de vingt ans quand il compose ce roman de chevalerie, publié pour la première fois en 1520 et dédié à Dom João, le futur roi João III. "In the eight-second chapter, the hero is made to deliver a set of prophecies in verse in which he foretells the triumphs of the Portuguese arms in the eastern and western oceans, giving a great number of names now familiar enough but which in 1520 would have been utterly strange to most people. Clarimundo is not affiliable to nay of the cycles, but it was suggested probably by the Amadis" (Quaritch). Le roman, composé en prose et en vers, est présenté comme traduit du hongrois. Le jeune Barros y révèle déjà les tendances épiques et l'exaltation du sentiment patriotique qu'il développera dans les Décades asiatiques, véritable anticipation des Lusiades de Camoëns. Illustré d'un grand bois sur le titre et de la marque de l'imprimeur au dernier feuillet. L'écrivain João de Barros fut nommé trésorier de la Casa da India par le roi João III dès les premières années de son règne. Il partit pour le Brésil en 1539 où il perdit une bonne part de sa fortune. Il se consacra par la suite à ses recherches historiques pour la publication des Décades asiatiques.

Oeniponti (i.e. Innsbruck), Johannes Agricola, 1601. - Folio (470 x 330 [Papierformat], 477 x 345 mm [Einband]). Mit 125 Portraitkupfern innerhalb architektonischer Umrahmung nach Giovanni Battista Fontana gest. von Dominikus Custos. [6] Bl., [125] Bl. Pergamentband über Pappe, Rücken über 6 erhabenen Bünden, Deckel mit sechsfacher Einrahmung in Rollenprägung, Mittelstück mit ornamentalem Ornament und Eckfleurons in Blingprägung. Erstausgabe des ersten im Druck erschienenen illustrierten Museumskatalogs. Erzherzog Ferdinand II. von Tirol (1529-1595) versuchte in seiner Sammlung auf Schloss Ambras bei Innsbruck die Rüstungen aller berühmten Potentaten und Feldherrn des 15. und 16. Jh.s zu vereinen. Der 1565 als persönlicher Sekretär und Kammerdiener des Erzherzogs in dessen Dienste getretene Jacob Schrenck von Notzing begann auf dessen Bitte mit dem Erstellen eines Bildinventars der in der Heldenrüstkammer systematisch zusammengetragenen Sammlung von Harnischen. Sie sollte nicht zuletzt auch die Erinnerung an die Person des Sammlers selbst für die Nachwelt bewahren. Die Sammlung ist in Programm und Präsentation wohl am treffendsten als Schaubühne von Tugend und Gedächtnis zu bezeichnen (Alfred Auer). Die 126 prachtvollen Kupfer nach den Vorzeichnungen von Giovanni Battista Fontana (1541-1587) stach der in Antwerpen als Sohn des Malers Pieter Balten geborene, in Augsburg wirkende Kupferstecher und Verleger Dominikus Custos (1550/59-1615) ab 1582. 1603 erschien beim selben Verleger eine deutsche Übersetzung und 1735 wurde in Nürnberg von J. D. Köhler eine Kopie mit wesentlich kleineren Abbildungen und ohne architektonische Rahmung als Ambrasische Helden Rüstkammer ediert. Die Namen der Portraitierten wurden im vorliegenden Exemplar in brauner Tinte in die in allen Exemplaren unbedruckt gebliebenen Schilder im Unterrand eingetragen.

Renaissancefürst und Herr über Rüstkammern, Kunstkammer und Bibliothek auf Schloss Ambras, in: Natur und Kunst.

Scheicher, Historiography and Display: The Heldenrüstkammer of Archduke Ferdinand in Schloss Ambras, in: Journal of the History of Collections II/1 (1990), 69-79. Editio princeps. Beautiful copy in its contemporary blind-tooled binding of the first illustrated museum catalogue ever printed. The Roman Catholic Archduke Ferdinand II of Tirol (1529-1595) was an avid collector of weaponry and armoury, that had originally belonged to all sorts of princes and potentates. His main interest was history, and in order to document this interest he created the pictorial programme of the so-called "Spanish Hall" and a collection of over 1000 portraits of European nobleman and women. He assigned his personal secretary Jacob Schrenck von Notzing to write a catalogue of the collection of armory (Heldenrüstkammer) housed at Schloss Ambras near Innsbruck which finally was brought to print in 1601 only. The magnificent catalogue (known as Armamentarium heroicum) shows very rare examples of armours from the 15th and 16th centuries which originally belonged to illustrious persons such as the Emperor Maximilian I or Prince Maurice of Orange. The objects themselves were displayed in Ambras castle in a strict hierarchic order. "Die Sammlung ist in Programm und Präsentation wohl am treffendsten als Schaubühne von Tugend und Gedächtnis zu bezeichnen" (Alfred Auer). In 1582 the Antwerp born Augsburg engraver and publisher Dominicus Custos (1550/59-1615) started to engrave the in all 126 portraits after the drawings of Giovanni Battista Fontana (1541-1587). The book is designed so that a full-length portrait engraving of the armour's former owner faces a page containing the biography of the figure shown. The noble figures are all in full armour and standing in niches with elaborate surroundings of ornamen [Attributes: Soft Cover]

"Porta was one of the pioneers of the scientific outlook, not himself a discoverer but a popularizer ... We are prone to think today of physiognomy as antiscientific, but it was in fact a way of emphasizing the dependence of behavior on body, a sort of physiological psychology." - Diamond 23.5. Porta's PHYSIOGNOMONIA is also often a very amusing work, and its charming illustrations which explore the analogies between the various human types and their animal counterparts, can deliver many a bracing gasp of recognition, and more than a chuckle or two

Other markings: two pages with marginal notations and four pages with corrections, both inked by an early hand. Bug-spotting on several preliminary leaves.

Two preliminary leaves missing small pieces of paper in blank margins; small hole at top outer corner of Kkkk4; and small chip at top edge of Hhhh2. Fold-mark at top outer corner of Vvv2. = In fact, a very nice copy of an important book.. Folio (31.5 cm, 12.25"). [21] ff., 914 [i.e., 912] pp., [5] ff. . When the Jesuit scholars at Rheims succeeded in printing their Catholic translation of the New Testament into English (first edition, 1582), the event affected various English Protestant scholars in different ways: Some were offended or outraged, others intrigued, and yet others spurred to action. William Fulke, of Pembroke College, Cambridge, was among those offended, outraged, and spurred: In 1589 he produced the first edition of his work attempting to refute the Rheims New Testament. His approach, however - which was to print the Rheims NT in parallel columns with the Bishops' NT (the then accepted version of the Church of England), supplying accompanying notes and explanations - had unforeseen consequences.#11; As Darlow and Moule comment, "by printing the Rheims Testament in full, side by side with the Bishops' version, [Fulke] secured for the former a publicity which it would not otherwise have obtained, and was indirectly responsible for the marked influence which Rheims exerted on the Bible of 1611." Alan Thomas elaborates by observing that "many a dignified or felicitous phrase was silently lifted by the editors of King James's Version, and thus passed into the language" (Great Books and Book Collectors, p. 108).#11; This is the second edition of the Rheims-Bishops' version of the New Testament, and thus the second printing of the Rheims in England. = All early editions of the Rheims NT are important and most are scarce. The present one has a handsome architectural woodcut border on the title-page; it is signed by the woodcut artist, "N.H." The text is printed in double-column format, with side- and shouldernotes and with the apparatus at the bottom of the page. #11; Provenance: Signature of a contemporary owner "A. Thorpe, York," undated, on A2.

PETRARCA FRANCESCO.
Epistolarum Familiarium libri XIV, Variarum liber I, Sine titulo liber I, Ad quosdam ex veteribus illustriores liber I.
|
Samuele Crispin, 1601., s.l. [ma assai probabilmente Lione], - In 8° ant. (mm.169x99), p. perg. coeva, tit. a penna, posteriore, al d.; pp.(32),683,(1), marca tipografica al frontesp. e alcuni capilettera inc.; firma di appartenenza al frontesp., mancanza all'angolo sup. est. di c. 10 n.n. (senza perdita alcuna di testo), quasi impercettibile gora alla sommità del margine est. delle prime 8 cc., per il resto davvero ottimo es. (anche la carta che, straniera e seicentesca, in molti ess. si trova brunita, qui è solo lievemente arrossata) di opera rara ed importante, poiché parzialmente orig. Questa ed., infatti, recava ben 65 nuove lettere che le consentirono di essere additata come «l'édition la plus complète des Epitres de Petrarca» (Graesse, V, 236).

COMMINES, Philip de
The historie of Philip de Commines Knight, Lord of Argenton.,
|
Imprinted at London by Ar. Hatfield, for I. Norton, 1601. - Folio. [16], 364 p. Collates A8, B - Hh6. Fine emblematic titlepage McKerrow & Ferguson 140. Genealogical tables at the end. Second edition. Nineteenth century half calf, lightly rubbed. Spine with raised bands and a contrasting label. Original front endpaper preserved with seventeenth century inscriptions. First and last leaves have small marginal paper repairs, nowhere touching the text. Lower margin of first and final leaves have an old ink stain which just extends into the printed area of the title otherwise clean and tight with good margins all through. STC 5603. The translator Thomas Danett became M.P. for Maidstone in 1578, probably due to the influence of John Aylmer, Bishop of London whose pupil he had been whilst both were living in exile during the reign of Mary. Danett claimed to have drafted his translation thirty years before its first publication in 1596. It is rightly acclaimed as the first 'modern' critical history, covering the events of the 1460s and 1470s. A further edition appeared in 1614. STC 5603. ESTC S107248.
