Pamphilus Gegenback, Basel 1518 - Modern wrappers 4to . New edition of Willibald Pirckheimer's (1470-1530) translation of the Sententiae morales of St. Nilus of Ancyra (c. ca. 430), 5th century abbot and ascetic writer, who was one of the many disciples and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom (cf. New Cath. Enc. X, p. 470). Willibald was one of the greatest German patrons of scholars and artists of the period as well as being a first rate scholar whose writings and translations were highly regarded. He composed the obituary of his lifelong friend and sometime collaborator Albrech Durer in 1528 (cf. Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). He dedicated the present work to his sister Klara who "was no exception to the remarkable level of education and culture for which the female members of the pirckheimer family were famous . Willibald dedicated to her his edition of Nilus' Sententiae mroales (Nuremberg: F. Peypus 1516); in the same year he conveyed Klara's greetings to Erasmus" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). The dedicatory letter's date has been changed from 1516 to 1518. OCLC locates only one copy at the Bridwell Library at SMU [16]. Title within woodcut borders, woodcut initials and half-page woodcut at the end of Mary with an angel.

Barzizius (Barzizza), Christoph
Introductoriu(m) in medicinam legenti cuilibet perutile.
|
Augsburg, Sigmund Grimm, 14.XII.1518. - Holzschnitt-Titelbordüre, 63 unnum. Bl., 1 w. Bl. 4°. Älterer biegsamer Pergamentband (etwas fleckig, Vorsätze erneuert) Einzige Ausgabe des 16. Jahrhunderts, von größter Seltenheit. - VD 16, B 619; Durling 484; Hirsch/H. I, 367 (falsch 'Wien'); Panzer VI, 151, 127; nicht bei Adams, Bird, Lesky, Osler, Waller und Wellcome - Unseres Wissens eine der frühesten Einführungen in das wissenschaftliche Studium der Medizin aus der Feder des italienischen Gelehrten Christoph Barzizius. Eine Inkunabelausgabe, die 1494 in Pavia erschien, ging der hier vorliegenden voraus. "Christofo Barzizza, um 1400, aus Bergamo, Neffe des (Grammatikers) Gasparinus Barzizius, 1434-1440 Professor der Medizin zu Padua. Sicher eine von dem Humanisten gleichen Namens verschiedene Persönlichkeit" (GW 3672 zur EA Pavia 1494). - Dieser in der Offizin des Sigismund Grimm, Doktor der Medizin, entstandene Druck ist sicher als ein Versuch zu verstehen, die Erkenntnisse der berühmten italienischen medizinischen Kapazitäten aus den Universitäten Pavia und Padua nördlich der Alpen weiterzuverbreiten. Nach dem Titelblatt ist das Buch "legenti cuilibet perutile" (für jeden Leser sehr nützlich), was an eine allgemeinbildende Schrift denken läßt. Mehrfach erwähnt sind auch die iuvenes, also junge Leute, wobei man zuerst an Studenten denken wird. Jedoch hat Augsburg zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts keine Universität besessen, so daß das Verlagsobjekt exportiert werden mußte oder zur Weiterbildung der in der Stadt oder im Umkreis ansässigen "fertigen" Ärzte dienen sollte. Die Schrift stützt sich auf die in der Medizin damals maßgeblichen Autoritäten wie Hippokrates, Almansor, Avicenna, Galen, Mesue oder Serapion und stellt die Probleme z. T. in der ersten Person Singular ("ich") durchaus nicht allgemeinverständlich dar. Sie beginnt mit "res naturales", auf denen die Medizin aufbaut, wie Luft, Feuer, Erde, Wasser (aer, ignis, terra, aqua) und den drei medizinischen Elementen "sperma viri mulieris et sanguis menstruus" (Same des Mannes und der Frau und Menstrualtionsblut). Nach Beschreibungen u.a. der besonderen Zeichen der Krankheit, ihres Ortes und ihrer Zeit enthält das 14. Kapitel "signa", Zeichen, die vom Kopf abwärts (Dolor in cute et ita de quolibet membro"; Schmerz in der Haut und in jedem Glied aufgelistet werden. Es folgt der "modus curandi", der Behandlungsmethoden und -regeln aufzeigt, wobei Wasser (kalt/warm), Luft, Abreibungen (fricatio), Bäder, Umschläge (epithimata), Aderlaß, Klistiere, Erbrechen etc. eingesetzt werden, ferner auch Heilpflanzen und Essenzen wie Aloe, Koriander oder Absinth. Diese Anweisungen wenden sich eindeutig an den Fachmann und sind kaum zur Medikation durch Laien geeignet. Die Ausgabe belegt, daß das "Introductorium" nicht nur 1494, also viele Jahre nach dem Tod des Autors, einem Kreis von Medizinern (als Herausgebern) und dem auf Medizin spezialisierten Drucker Antonius Carcanus wichtig und wertvoll erschien, sondern auch später in Augsburg als Zusammenfassung der spätmittelalterlichen Medizin-Praxis empfunden wurde (obwohl die Pest darin nur beiläufig erwähnt ist - und die Syphilis-Problematik nicht erörtert werden konnte, da die Krankheit noch nicht auf Europa übergegriffen hatte). - Die schöne Titelbordüre ist abgebildet bei Pflug-H., Taf. 14. - Wir danken Herrn Dr. Holger Nickel von der Staatsbibliothek Berlin für zeitaufwendige, detaillierte und umfangreiche Recherchen. - Tadellos erhaltenes, breitrandiges, rubriziertes Exemplar. Titel mit handschriftlichem Besitzvermerk (Cart. in Buxheim, deren Bibliothek 1883 versteigert wurde), altem Bibliotheksstempel, ein weiterer Stempel im Unterrand von Bl. 2. Vereinzelt minimale Wurmgänge. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Venetia, Niccolo et Domenico Sandri, fratelli dal Jesu, 2 August 1518 in-4, ff. 344 (segn.354), 4 n.n. bella leg. ottocentesca ad imitazione antica, elaborata decorazione a secco ai piatti, tit. in oro e fregi a secco al dorso a nervi (piccoli restauri alle estremità delle cerniere, qualche abrasione). Testo impresso su due colonne, car. tondo in rosso e nero; titolo in grande car. gotico e istruzioni per la consultazione dell'opera impressi in rosso entro 5 tondi inseriti in bordura a grotteschi; al verso grande "crisma" con croce in negativo entro grande arabesco su fondo rosso; colophon in grande car. gotico entro bordura e, al verso, silogr. tonda con 2 angeli che reggono uno scudo vuoto. La stupenda illustrazione del volume comprende inoltre: 15 bordure di 4 legni con ritratti in tondo, e grande capolettera istoriato all'interno; 12 elaborate bordure con vasi e grotteschi, che comprende 5 tondi con calendario di ogni mese e sue peculiarità impressi in rosso; 56 tondi di diametro 15 cm con scene della vita dei Santi e Martiri, inscritti in quadrato con fregi agli ang.; un Giudizio Universale (colorato all'epoca) entro bordura di 4 legni con versi in rosso entro tondi; 5 silogr. di grandi formati diversi (Assunzione e Natività della Vergine, Adorazione dell'Eucarestia, Crocefisso della Scuola di S.Giovanni a Venezia, S.Adriano) e un foglio con 6 legni relativi a S.Apollonia; 124 vignette a larghezza di una colonna, raffig. scene della Bibbia, gran numero di grandi iniziali ornate. Questa edizione, come già quella del 1505, venne diffusa con due frontespizi differenti: in caratteri xilo-tipografici (di cui si conoscono il presente esemplare e altri 2, di cui uno presso la Biblioteca Casanatense di Roma e l'altro alla Fondazione Cini di Venezia; cfr L. Pagnotta, Le edizioni italiane della "Legenda Aurea" (1475-1630), Firenze 2005, p. 108) o in caratteri romani tipografici (noto in due esemplari: Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticane e Biblioteca Marciana). Una delle più belle edizioni della raccolta di vite e leggende dei Santi, composta da Jacopo da Varazze (1230-1298) verso il 1266, che conobbe enorme fama, ed ebbe gran numero di edizioni, anche figurate, tra XV e XVI sec. L'editore si è curato, oltre che di fornire le istruzioni per la consultazione sul frontesp., di corredare l'opera di un indice alfabetico, del registro e, fatto assai raro, dell'indicazione degli errori e delle omissioni nella numerazione delle carte. Rara e ricercata edizione volgare figurata, fedele ristampa dell'edizione del 1505 degli stessi tipografi; straordinaria per la ricchezza e la peculiarità dell'illustrazione, nella quale il tondo è tema ricorrente. La sua bellezza è confermata da Essling, che dedica ben 22 pag. di descrizione e riproduz. delle figure.Bell'esemplare, seppur con alcune bordure lievem. rifilate su 2 lati, strappo restaurato a un f. ed un alone nel margine inf. dei primi 8 ff. Cat.Unico censisce un esempl., presso la Casanatense e uno presso la Fondazione Cini di Venezia, così come un esempl. del 1505, presso la B.Mai di Bergamo. Non in BMC né Adams.

Rare lavishly illustrated devout Post-incunable printed in Antwerp FASCICULUS MIRRE. Hier beghint een seer sonderlinghe ende devote materie van die passie ons Heren Jesu Cristi gheheten (dat busselkijn of dat bondekijn van mirre) vergadert ende gecompileert van eenen gheestelijcken ende seer verlichten broeder vander minrebroeders oerden van die familie der observanten in die provincie van Colen ...

Antwerp, Henrick Eckert van Homberch, 18 January 1518.. 4to. Old full speckled calf with decorated gilt spine in five compartments, red speckled edges. First word of title ('Fascilul us' ) printed in red from woodcut letters, with the initials 'H.E.' (Hendrick Eckert ?) worked into the 1st initial (F), 33 large and 2 smaller woodcut illustrations of the Passion in the text (27 blocks, 8 repeats) by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber, decorative woodcut initials. Rubricated in red throughout, including underlining and the bleeding Christ in some of the woodcuts. (196) ff. Collation: a8, b4, c-e8, f-i4-8, k-n8-4, o-p8, q4, r-s8, t4, u8, x4, A-B8 C-H4-8, I8.. Rare second edition (first: Delft, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden, March 6, 1517) of this devout collection of meditations on the Life of Christ, especially on the Passion. Later editions of this often reprinted work include editions of April 1519 (2 issues; Antwerp, Willem Vorsterman and The Hague, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden), 1526 (Antwerp, Symon Cock for Roelant Bollaert) and 1529 (Antwerp, Symon Cock, 1529). The author/compiler of the work was an anonymous Franciscan from Cologne; the compilation was edited by his fellow friar from Antwerp, Matthijs van Dordrecht, also known as Matthys or Matthias Weynsen (1480-1547). The beautiful series of descriptive and detailed woodcuts are by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber. Eckert, who moved to Antwerp from Delft in 1500, owned a very extensive stock of illustrations.Most copies were defective when they came on the market; one leaf was lacking after quire A. After the printer had noted that there was some text missing between the quires A and B, he has added a leaf (cancel) , hence the quire 'A8+1' in some copies. Since the added leaf is not present in our copy it is likely that it had already been sold before the printer discovered his omission. According to De Troeyer, five states (A-E) are known, derived from variants which appear on the title-page. Our copy belongs to state A with the word 'Mirre' instead of 'Myrre' in line 2 and the phrase 'cum gracia et previlegio', flanked by three dots, at the bottom of the first leaf. Nijhoff-Kronenberg mentions only three complete copies of this edition (The Hague, Weert and Woerden), of which only the last has the variant setting as in our copy. Provenance With old ownership's entries in ink on first flyleaf: 'Desen bock is tot gebruijck van Suster Maria Verhavert religeus onwerdigh', preceded by the motto 'Looft Godt altijdt' (16th. century); 'Deezen boek is tot gebruyk van zuster Elisabeth Goris Religieuse in Olv Gasthuys tot Mechelen int jaer 1831'. And another, cropped, one (16th. century) in the lower margin of fol. a1v: 'Desen boeck hoort toe tconve(n)t van'. Very good copy.- (Binding sl. rubbed with sm. defects to head and tail of spine). NK 923; De Troeyer II, 128; BCNI 652; Burger, Ned. Inc. , 64; Cockx-Indestege, E., 'De Passie Delbecq Schreiber houtsneden in drukken, 1500-1550', in: Ons Geestelijk Erf 63 (1989), pp. 245-78; Delen, A., 'De Meester der 'Passie Delbecq-Schreiber', in: Oude Vlaamsche grafiek: studies en aantekeningen (1943), pp. 5-21; De Kempenaer col. 68; NNBW V, col. 1108; not in Adams nor Machiels.

Epistolarim Libri X

Aldi, et Andreae Asulani, (Aldus Manutius), Venetiis, (Venice) 1518 - [56], 525pp, [1]. Lacking final blank, else collated and complete. *-***8, ****-4, a-8-z8, aa-kk7. Handsomely bound in slightly later lettered vellum. Yapp-edges. Light wear to extremities, a few wormholes to spine/joints, single-track to FFEP, not extending to text. Marbled front and rear fixed endpapers. Bookplate removed from front endpaper. Very light marginal dampstaining to prelims, occasionally to the odd signature of text. Very light and sporadic foxing, else a very clean and crisp example of this early Aldine Press printing. Gaius Plinius Caecilius Secundus, (c.61-c113), administrator of part of the Roman Empire. Pliny the Younger, adopted by his uncle Pliny the Elder, studied philosophy and rhetoric under Nicetes Sacerdos and Quintilian, and practised civil law. Eventually rising to the political court, where he prosecuted provincial governors on charges of corruption and extortion. He acheived the ranks of both Praetor and Consul (in 100 AD) of the Roman Empire. Friend of Tacitus, Martial and Suetonius, Pliny was likewise a published author with these 10 books of letters, issued between 100 and 109 - collectively they almost the entirety of Pliny's surviving work and offer a valuable insight into the Roman world of the 1st Century. 'The Letters are models of graceful thought and refined expression, each of them dealing with a single topic and generally ending with an epigrammatic point.' (Encyc. Britannica 11th Ed). They deal with various issues, including on of the few accounts of the eruption of Vesuvius made by an eyewitness (for the Younger Pliny had accompanied his uncle and adoptive father) to the area in AD79, describing his final hours in detail in a letter to Tacitus (VI). 'In his Letters Pliny presents us with a picture of the varied interests of a cultivated Roman gentleman. The etiquette of the imperial circle, scenes from the law-courts and the recitationroom, the reunions of dilettanti and philosophers, the busy life of the capital or of the municipal town, the recreations of the seaside and of the country - all these he brings vividly before our eyes. He elaborately describes his Laurentine and his Tuscan villa, and frankly tells us how he spends the day at each (ii. 17, v. 6, ix. 36 and 40);'expatiates on his verses and his speeches, his holiday-tasks in Umbria (vii. 9, ix. so), and his happy memories of the Lake of Como (i. 6). He gives an enthusiastic account of a statuette of Corinthian bronze he has recently purchased (iii. 6). He is interested in providing a teacher of rhetoric for the place of his birth (iv. 13); he exults in the devotion of his wife, Calpurnia (vi. 19); towards his servants he is an indulgent master (viii. 16); he intercedes on behalf of the freedman of a friend (ix. 21), and, when a freedman of his own is in delicate health, sends him first to Egypt and afterwards to the Riviera (v. 19). He consults Suetonius on the interpretation of dreams (1.18); he presents another of his correspondents with a batch of ghost-stories (vii. 27) or a marvellous tale about a tame dolphin on the north coast of Africa (ix. 33). He discourses on the beauties of the Clitumnus (viii. 8) and the floating islands of the Vadimonian lake (viii. 20).He takes as his models Cicero and Tacitus (vii. 20), whose name is so often (to his delight) associated with his own (ix. 23). He rejoices to learn that his writings are read at Lyons (ix. I I). He complains of the inanity of circus-races (ix. 6), of the decay of interest in public recitations (i. 13), of bad taste in matters of hospitality (ii. 6), and of the way in which time is frittered away in the social duties of Rome (i. 9). He lays down the principles that should guide a Roman governor in Greece (viii. 24); he maintains the cause of the oppressed provinces of Spain and Africa; and he exposes the iniquities of the informer Regulus, the only living man whom he attacks in his Letters, going so far as to denounce him as omnium bipedum nequissimus (i. 5, [Attributes: First Edition]

BERENGARIO DA CARPI, Jacopo;
Tractatus de fractura calve sive cranei a Carpo editus.
|
Bologne Girolamo Benedetti 1518 - In-4 de 105 pp.ch. (chiffres rom.), 1 f.n.ch. ; vélin, pièce de titre de maroquin grenat au dos (reliure moderne). Waller, 911 ; Wellcome, 778 ; NLM, 531 ; Garrison-Morton, 4850.2 ; Norman, I, 186 ; Cushing Collection, 302 ; Heirs of Hippocrates, 160. Édition originale, très rare. Le premier traité de chirurgie crânienne publié séparément, et l'un des livres fondateurs de la neurologie moderne. L'ouvrage, sans conteste le chef-d'?uvre du médecin, anatomiste et chirurgien italien Jacopo Berengario (Carpi, v. 1460 - Ferrare, 1530), est dédié à Lorenzo II de Medici, duc d'Urbin, que l'auteur avait soigné pour une blessure à la tête. L'illustration, gravée sur bois, comporte une planche anatomique sur le titre (emplacement des zones opératoires sur le crâne) et 22 figures montrant des instruments chirurgicaux (trépan, forceps, marteau, scalpel etc.). "Berengario described several types of skull fractures and grouped the resulting lesions according to their symptoms, citing the relation between location and neurological effect. The book also discussed apoplexy, meningitis and parakysis" (Garrison). "Berengario (.) was the great anatomist of the period immediately before the flowering of medicine in the Renaissance. This work on skull fractures was occasioned by a controversy which had arisen among Berengario and other physicians regarding the postoperative treatment of a head wound suffered by Lorenzo de' Medici. It is especially interesting for the woodcuts of cranial instruments" (Heirs of Hippocrates). "The title illustration is a typical representation of the medieval cell doctrine, which localized mental functions in the ventricles or 'cells' of the brain" (Norman). Jacopo Berengario étudia la médecine dans sa ville natale, Carpi, près de Modène, où il eut l'occasion de fréquenter les milieux de la cour d'Alberto III Pio, fréquentée par des esprits tels que Pico della Mirandola, Aldo Manuzio et Pietro Pomponazzi. Ayant reçu son diplôme de médecin en 1498, il s'installa à Bologne et exerça dans l'hôpital de cette ville, se rendant plusieurs fois à Rome, où la curie papale appréciait ses talents de médecin. Il revint à Carpi en 1527, puis gagna Ferrare, où il demeura jusqu'à sa mort au service du duc Alfonso I d'Este. Il a composé, outre ce De fractura calve, une Anathomia Mundini (1514) et des Isagoge breves (1522) qui font de lui l'un des plus importants précurseurs de Vésale. Bel exemplaire lavé, sobrement relié. Petit trou dans la marge du f. Oii, sans atteinte à l'imprimé ; quelques pâles rousseurs. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Bologne Girolamo Benedetti 1518 "In-4 de 105 pp.ch. (chiffres rom.), 1 f.n.ch. ; vélin, pièce de titre de maroquin grenat au dos (reliure moderne)." "Waller, 911 ; Wellcome, 778 ; NLM, 531 ; Garrison-Morton, 4850.2 ; Norman, I, 186 ; Cushing Collection, 302 ; Heirs of Hippocrates, 160. Édition originale, très rare. Le premier traité de chirurgie crânienne publié séparément, et l'un des livres fondateurs de la neurologie moderne. L'ouvrage, sans conteste le chef-d'œuvre du médecin, anatomiste et chirurgien italien Jacopo Berengario (Carpi, v. 1460 - Ferrare, 1530), est dédié à Lorenzo II de Medici, duc d'Urbin, que l'auteur avait soigné pour une blessure à la tête. L'illustration, gravée sur bois, comporte une planche anatomique sur le titre (emplacement des zones opératoires sur le crâne) et 22 figures montrant des instruments chirurgicaux (trépan, forceps, marteau, scalpel etc.). ""Berengario described several types of skull fractures and grouped the resulting lesions according to their symptoms, citing the relation between location and neurological effect. The book also discussed apoplexy, meningitis and parakysis"" (Garrison). ""Berengario (...) was the great anatomist of the period immediately before the flowering of medicine in the Renaissance... This work on skull fractures was occasioned by a controversy which had arisen among Berengario and other physicians regarding the postoperative treatment of a head wound suffered by Lorenzo de' Medici. It is especially interesting for the woodcuts of cranial instruments"" (Heirs of Hippocrates). ""The title illustration is a typical representation of the medieval cell doctrine, which localized mental functions in the ventricles or 'cells' of the brain"" (Norman). Jacopo Berengario étudia la médecine dans sa ville natale, Carpi, près de Modène, où il eut l'occasion de fréquenter les milieux de la cour d'Alberto III Pio, fréquentée par des esprits tels que Pico della Mirandola, Aldo Manuzio et Pietro Pomponazzi. Ayant reçu son diplôme de médecin en 1498, il s'installa à Bologne et exerça dans l'hôpital de cette ville, se rendant plusieurs fois à Rome, où la curie papale appréciait ses talents de médecin. Il revint à Carpi en 1527, puis gagna Ferrare, où il demeura jusqu'à sa mort au service du duc Alfonso I d'Este. Il a composé, outre ce De fractura calve, une Anathomia Mundini (1514) et des Isagoge breves (1522) qui font de lui l'un des plus importants précurseurs de Vésale. Bel exemplaire lavé, sobrement relié. Petit trou dans la marge du f. Oii, sans atteinte à l'imprimé ; quelques pâles rousseurs."

Pamphilus Gegenback, Basel 1518 - Modern wrappers 4to . New edition of Willibald Pirckheimer's (1470-1530) translation of the Sententiae morales of St. Nilus of Ancyra (c. ca. 430), 5th century abbot and ascetic writer, who was one of the many disciples and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom (cf. New Cath. Enc. X, p. 470). Willibald was one of the greatest German patrons of scholars and artists of the period as well as being a first rate scholar whose writings and translations were highly regarded. He composed the obituary of his lifelong friend and sometime collaborator Albrech Durer in 1528 (cf. Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). He dedicated the present work to his sister Klara who "was no exception to the remarkable level of education and culture for which the female members of the pirckheimer family were famous . Willibald dedicated to her his edition of Nilus' Sententiae mroales (Nuremberg: F. Peypus 1516); in the same year he conveyed Klara's greetings to Erasmus" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). The dedicatory letter's date has been changed from 1516 to 1518. OCLC locates only one copy at the Bridwell Library at SMU [16]. Title within woodcut borders, woodcut initials and half-page woodcut at the end of Mary with an angel. Contemporary annotations on the last blank leaf. § BM/STC German 654; Catalogue of valuable printed books from the Broxbourne Library,; 62. [Attributes: Soft Cover]

Born in DueA!as, Palencia province, he was abbot of San FrontA!s de Zamora. He studied at Salamanca, where he may have earned a degree in theology. He traveled in Italy (Venice, 1550; Rome, 1551). He translated works from Latin and composed and published in various editions a emHistoria pontifical y cathA3lica (Pontifical and Catholic History)/em. It recounts the lives of the popes from Saint Peter to Boniface VIII (1301), as well as the Visigothic Kings, the Kings of Castile, and the Kings of Portugal.

(a la fin:) Impressi Parrhisii Anno domini M.ccccc.xviii Die vero xvi Januarii (Jehan Petit, 16 janvier 1518). in-8. 4ff. 272ff. chiffres (i.e. 276). Plein veau mouchete, dos lisse orne (fraiche reliure du 18e siecle, infimes traces d'usage). Premiere Edition donnee par Franciscus de Serris, de ces sermons celebres du predicateur dominicain Gabriele Barleta, qui vivait au 15e siecle a Naples. Ses talents d'orateur et l'originalite de ses homelies lui valurent une telle renommee, qu'un proverbe se repandit a cette epoque en Italie: "Nescit praedicare qui nescit barlettare" ("Celui qui ne sait precher comme Bareleta ne sait pas precher"). "Il se rendit celebre a Naples par ses sermons, dans lesquels il melait le burlesque au sacre, citant Virgile apres Moise, placant David a cote d'Hercule et commencant une phrase en italien pour la continuer en latin et la finir en grec" (Larousse). "Les quolibets, jeux de mots et les bouffoneries obscenes dont surabondent ces sermons, pretent plus au scandale qu'a l'edification. Barlette est reste avec Menot et Maillard le modele du genre burlesque" (Bibliographie Clerico-Galante). Initialement parus en 1497 a Brescia, ces sermons firent l'objet d'un grand nombre d'editions dans les premieres annees du 16e siecle. La presente edition est dediee par Franciscus de Serris a un inquisiteur toulousain, Raymundus Gosinus. Elle fut a nouveau publiee par le meme imprimeur en 1527. Impression gothique en deux colonnes, avec la marque de Jehan Petit sur la page de titre. Inscriptions manuscrites sur les gardes et signatures anciennes sur le titre: "Ex. Biblioth. Claudi Rob. Jardel" et "Blendecq". Bel exemplaire finement relie au 18e siecle. Graesse, Tresor de livres rares et precieux, 1, 294: "sermons singuliers et bizarres". Bibliographie Clerico-Galante, p.14

Rare lavishly illustrated devout Post-incunable printed in Antwerp Antwerp, Henrick Eckert van Homberch, 18 January 1518. 4to. Old full speckled calf with decorated gilt spine in five compartments, red speckled edges. First word of title ('Fascilulus') printed in red from woodcut letters, with the initials 'H.E.' (Hendrick Eckert ?) worked into the 1st initial (F), 33 large and 2 smaller woodcut illustrations of the Passion in the text (27 blocks, 8 repeats) by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber, decorative woodcut initials. Rubricated in red throughout, including underlining and the bleeding Christ in some of the woodcuts. (196) ff. Collation: a8, b4, c-e8, f-i4-8, k-n8-4, o-p8, q4, r-s8, t4, u8, x4, A-B8 C-H4-8, I8. Rare second edition (first: Delft, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden, March 6, 1517) of this devout collection of meditations on the Life of Christ, especially on the Passion. Later editions of this often reprinted work include editions of April 1519 (2 issues; Antwerp, Willem Vorsterman and The Hague, Hugo Jansz. van Woerden), 1526 (Antwerp, Symon Cock for Roelant Bollaert) and 1529 (Antwerp, Symon Cock, 1529). The author/compiler of the work was an anonymous Franciscan from Cologne; the compilation was edited by his fellow friar from Antwerp, Matthijs van Dordrecht, also known as Matthys or Matthias Weynsen (1480-1547). The beautiful series of descriptive and detailed woodcuts are by the Master of Delbecq-Schreiber. Eckert, who moved to Antwerp from Delft in 1500, owned a very extensive stock of illustrations.Most copies were defective when they came on the market; one leaf was lacking after quire A. After the printer had noted that there was some text missing between the quires A and B, he has added a leaf (cancel) , hence the quire 'A8+1' in some copies. Since the added leaf is not present in our copy it is likely that it had already been sold before the printer discovered his omission. According to De Troeyer, five states (A-E) are known, derived from variants which appear on the title-page. Our copy belongs to state A with the word 'Mirre' instead of 'Myrre' in line 2 and the phrase 'cum gracia et previlegio', flanked by three dots, at the bottom of the first leaf. Nijhoff-Kronenberg mentions only three complete copies of this edition (The Hague, Weert and Woerden), of which only the last has the variant setting as in our copy.ProvenanceWith old ownership's entries in ink on first flyleaf: 'Desen bock is tot gebruijck van Suster Maria Verhavert religeus onwerdigh', preceded by the motto 'Looft Godt altijdt' (16th. century); 'Deezen boek is tot gebruyk van zuster Elisabeth Goris Religieuse in Olv Gasthuys tot Mechelen int jaer 1831'.

This collection of six works of geography by Classical writers is edited by Francesco Asolano (a.k.a.

The sole Aldine edition of these works, it is also the editio princeps of Publius Victor, the second edition of Antoninus Augustus' Itinerarium, and the third edition of Dionysius in Latin. As is to be expected, the text is in italic with spaces and guide letters provided for (unaccomplished) initials. The register (leaf G2 recto) lists a gathering *4 that is not found here or in any known copy, so the reference would seem to be incorrect.

HUTTEN, Ulrich von (1488-1523)].
Outis nemo.
|
(Augsburg, Johann Miller, [9. September 1518]). - 4to. Mit Titelholzschnitt von Hans Weiditz und zwei Zierinitialen. [12] Bl. Moderner Pergamentband. Erstausgabe. Diese Fassung von geistreichen Versen und Sprichwörtern in Wortspielform stellt eine Ueberarbeitung des Nemo I dar, die Hutten noch vor seiner zweiten Italienreise beendet hatte (vgl. seinen Brief an Erasmus aus Worms vom 24. Okt. 1515 [Allen II, 365,25]). Vermehrt um dreissig Distichen ist der zweite Nemo etwas straffer gefasst und mit einem moralischen und politischen Impetus versehen. Vorangestellt ist eine längere Vorrede an den Freund Johannes Crotus Rubianus (1480-1545), worin sich Hutten besonders über Theologen und Juristen auslässt. Der prachtvolle Titelholzschnitt von Hans Weiditz zeigt den bärtigen Nemo in römischer Uniform, dahinter das Schiff des Odysseus und links auf einer Klippe den Zyklopen Polyphem. Zu Nemos' Füssen liegen verstreut verschiedenste Utensilien, u. a. ein Buch, ein umgekippter Tisch mit Schemel, ein Brettspiel und Karten, eine Laute sowie eine Axt. - Ein vorzügliches Exemplar. VD 16, H-6384; Benzing 62; Böcking XV,1; Goedeke II, 229, 10; Röttinger, Weiditz, 7; Dodgson II, 140; Musper, Petrarca Meister, L7; Fairfax-Murray 211. First edition of the second version of one of Hutten's chief works, of which the first version appeared at Erfurt in 1516. Its verses contain puns and proverbs on domestic matters. Added in the present new version are thirty distichs and the preface in which the author attacks both theologians and lawyers. At the end is printed a letter summarizing the more controversial topics of Hutten's political and theological position. Hutten was a supporter of Reuchlin's defence of Hebrew books in the previous decade and their common satirical production had extended to cover more generally anti-Roman and anti-Papist issues. Reissues of this second version appeared in the same year at Basel, Strasbourg, and Leipzig. - A fine copy. - In modern vellum. [Attributes: First Edition]

Edition Originale de cette importante description des cours d'eau francais, composee par le celebre historien francais Jean Papire Masson (1544-1611) et publiee apres sa mort par son frere Jean. "L'auteur ne se borne pas a decrire sechement le cours des principales rivieres (la Loire, la Seine, le Rhone, la Garonne); il etudie en meme temps les contrees que celles-ci traversent et les peuples riverains" (Bourgeois et Andre). "Masson fut un des savants hommes du XVIe siecle qui se sont occupes avec le plus d'ardeur des origines de notre histoire nationale, et qui ont ouvert la voie si glorieusement suivie par les benedictins. Ses ouvrages, qui roulent presque tous sur la Gaule, sont tres recherches" (Larousse). Belle marque d'imprimeur sur la page de titre, et beau portrait hors-texte de l'auteur grave par Gaultier. Quelques rousseurs.

Pamphilus Gegenback, Basel 1518 - Modern wrappers 4to . New edition of Willibald Pirckheimer's (1470-1530) translation of the Sententiae morales of St. Nilus of Ancyra (c. ca. 430), 5th century abbot and ascetic writer, who was one of the many disciples and fervent defenders of St. John Chrysostom (cf. New Cath. Enc. X, p. 470). Willibald was one of the greatest German patrons of scholars and artists of the period as well as being a first rate scholar whose writings and translations were highly regarded. He composed the obituary of his lifelong friend and sometime collaborator Albrech Durer in 1528 (cf. Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). He dedicated the present work to his sister Klara who "was no exception to the remarkable level of education and culture for which the female members of the pirckheimer family were famous . Willibald dedicated to her his edition of Nilus' Sententiae mroales (Nuremberg: F. Peypus 1516); in the same year he conveyed Klara's greetings to Erasmus" (Contemp. of Erasmus, III, p. 90). The dedicatory letter's date has been changed from 1516 to 1518. OCLC locates only one copy at the Bridwell Library at SMU [16]. Title within woodcut borders, woodcut initials and half-page woodcut at the end of Mary with an angel. Contemporary annotations on the last blank leaf. § BM/STC German 654; Catalogue of valuable printed books from the Broxbourne Library,; 62. [Attributes: Soft Cover]

Opera omnia soluta oratione composita

[Aldus Manutius] Aldi et Andreae soceri 3 vols. Royal 8vo. Aldine anchor and dolphin printer's device on first title page (vol 1) and final page (vol 3). Bound in modern vellum with red labels to spine. Early owner's authograph to title of vol 2. Light marginal dampmarks in vol 3. Leaf uuu7 some chafing resulting in some loss of three lines of text. An exceptionally fine and clean set in a very sympathetic and attractive binding. This is the first Aldine edition of Pontano's collected works including philosophical writings, dialogues and orations. The text was edited by Gian Francesco Toressani. This set is complete including the Charon dialogue which Renouard was censored from most recorded examples. As mentioned in the 1995 Christie's sale catalogue of fine Aldine books, complete sets of Pontano are very rare. References; Renouard 82:3; 87:6-7; Adams 1860. Fine

(Wien, Johann Singriener d.Ä. für Lucas Alantsee), (1518).. (12), 132 ff. Mit 2 ganzseitigen, unterschiedlichen Titelbordüren in Holzschnitt. 4°. Hldr.d.Zt.. VD 16, F 1691; Denis 198; Denis, Merkwürdigkeiten 148; Gollob 61. Erste Ausgabe bei Singriener, ziemlich selten. Die "Epitome bellorum omnium annorum DCC" des Lucius Florus sind das einzige Werk, das von dem aus Nordafrika stammenden Historiker erhalten geblieben ist. Wie meist wurde auch dieses Werk von dem in Italien geborenen Johannes Camers herausgegeben, das Vorwort verfasste Jakob Spiegel. Die Holzschnittbordüre mit den Initialen des Johann Singriener a.d.ersten Textblatt ist abgebildet bei Gollob, die den "Meister N" als Holzschneider nennt. Letztes Blatt verso mit der kleinen Druckermarke des Lucas Alantsee, Titelblatt mit zwei handschriftlichen, frühen Besitzeinträgen, besonders zu Beginn Anmerkungen im Text und in den breiten Rändern. Der schöne, zeitgenössische Einband stammt wohl von einem anderen Werk. Insgesamt sehr schönes Exemplar.
