The colophon of the second work identifies the printer of that book thus: "Parisiis, in vrbe Lutetia excudebat Oliuarius de Harsy, anno 1557".Born in Amelia circa 1514, the author of the first work, Mandosio was a lawyer versed in Greek literature, poetry, oratory, philosophy & theology. He was professor at law at the University of Pisa and died in 1593 in Rome.From the collection of Thomas Hamilton, 1st Earl of Haddington, with his handsome armorial bookplate illustrated with his coat of arms pictured under a crown between 2 hounds and bearing the legend "Praesto et Persto" on a banner. Here identified as "The Right Hon. Thomas Earl of Hadinton", the bookplate is mounted on the verso of the first title page."Thomas Hamilton (1st Earl of Haddington; Lord Drumcairn) 1563-1637. Politician, lawyer and judge. The son of a judge, Hamilton was educated in Paris. He was appointed an Advocate (1587) and later a Lord of Session (1592), as Lord Drumcairn, and was widely regarded as an able administrator and shrewd lawyer. He held great influence with King James VI (1566-1625) who referred to him as 'Tam o' the Cowgate'. In 1604, James appointed Hamilton to a commission to explore fuller union with England. He became Secretary of State for Scotland (1612) and President of the Court of Session (1616). He was given the Earldom of Melroes in 1619, which was later exchanged for the Earldom of Haddington (1626)." [From "Scottish-places.info"]. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

D. Zephelius, Frankfurt 1557 - Later decorated wrappers Folio . FIRST SEPARATE EDITION of this important early work on artillery and civilian fireworks and the related equipment for fortresses by Leonhardt Fronsperger (d. 1575), soldier and author of a number of important military works with his "Kriegsbuch" (3 vols. Frankfurt/Main; 1573) perhaps his most famous. The work includes several woodcuts instruments for aiming artillery.Fronsperger, a native of Ulm, writes from his own military experiences in the imperial army fighting the Turkish incursions (1566). He wrote extensively on a wide range of military subjects which were important for their practical information in organizing large military formations. Fronsperger wanted to replace the free Landsknechtstum with a standing military that would be legally bound to protect the peace and order of their homeland and its leaders.

Mattioli, Pietro Andrea

|
. DE GLI ANIMALI, NUOVAMENTE AGGIUNTIVI DAL MEDESIMO. Venice. 1557. Second illustrated Italian edition. Folio, (88), 741 pp., (1), lacking final leaf, blank except for printer's device on verso. Recently rebound in full calf with a maroon morocco spine label. Some damp staining and minor soiling throughout, title page mounted and a few leaves re-hinged, paper repairs and marginal wormholes to a few leaves, mostly in the first and last several quires. About 40 of the woodcuts hand colored at an early date. Mattiolo, Pierandrea (1507-1577) Italian physician and botanist. "He was born in Siena, studied in Padua, and traveled widely in Italy to collect plants. His lengthy Commentarii on the Herbal of Dioscorides were intended as practical advice for physicians. The book was first published in Venice in 1544 and went into many editions and translations, the first in Latin, following three Italian ones, in 1554. The commentaries go beyond Dioscorides' plants to include Mattioli's own discoveries and reports from his correspondents. The two series of illustrations, one first published in the Venice edition of 1554, the larger ones appearing in a Prague version of 1562, and both copied repeatedly, are unusual in representing massed foliage, fruit, and flowers instead of single twigs or plants." (Encyclopaedia of the Renaissance). "A critical examination of the features and the sometimes complex vicissitudes of the Commentarii would constitute an interesting chapter in the history of bibliology. Fundamental to the work's success is its conception and execution as a practical scientific treatise. It was intended for daily use by physicians, herbalists, and others, who could find descriptions and notes on medicinal plants and herbs, Greek and Latin names and synonyms, and the equivalents in other languages. The work made it possible to identify and compare its plants and herbs with those mentioned by Dioscorides and also with those found in nature. The Commentarii thus differed profoundly from translations by other authors, who generally insisted on lexical and grammatical aspects rather than on medical and botanical aims. Mattioli supported his work with new information partly derived from his direct observation of plants and herbs and partly obtained from other authors; the rest were derived from original drawings placed at his disposal by other scholars. From the scientific point of view, Mattioli's work did not always win approval. Sachs, for example, asserted that Mattioli's study of the medicinal effects of plants took priority to the observation of their morphological characteristics. Certainly Mattioli's interest in botany was not primary but proceeded from his interest in therapy, and it was medicine that led him back to the observation of nature. Mattioli's commentary of Discorides' text was aimed largely at the practical purpose of medicinal phytognosis and acquired intrinsic value both through the wealth of its descriptive details of each plant and through its accurate drawings. Mattioli may therefore be considered a member of the Vesalian school of morphological observation." (DSB)

Simbologia esoterica incisa su legno al frontespizio; al colophon, impresa xilografica con il maestro e l'allievo entro una cornice figurata con il motto "Non mihi sed tibi fili".

Seconda edizione (la prima è del 1551 e fu impressa sempre dal Rossi) di questo raro trattato cabalistico del Rinascimento italiano. Arcangelo da Borgonovo, filosofo e teologo francescano morto a Bologna nel 1569 (è ignota la sua data di nascita ma si spense assai vecchio), "apprese l'ebraico sotto la disciplina del confratello frate Francesco Zorzi da Venezia, autore del De harmonia mundi, e da lui fu iniziato ai misteri della cabala rimessi in onore dall'ebreo convertito Flavio Mitridate, maestro di Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Come lo Zorzi e come il Pico anche Arcangelo trae dall'interpretazione cabalistica e neoplatoneggiante delle Sacre Scritture la sua apologia dei dogmi cristiani, che a lui, scotista, sembra più valida di quella tomistica intesa a trarre dall'aristotelismo i praeambula fidei" (Bruno Nardi in Diz. Biogr. d. Italiani). Adams, A-1528. STC Italian Books, p. 36. Cfr. Nardi, cit. (con bibliografia).

Andre Thevet: Histoire d'Andre Thevet Angoumoisin, Cosmographe du Roy, de deux voyages par luy faits aux Indes Australes, et Occidentales (Travaux d'Humanisme et Renaissance)
|
Librairie Droz. Hardcover. 2600010424 Venant après Les Singularitez de la France Antarctique (1557) et La Cosmographie universelle (1575), l'Histoire de deux voyages, dont le manuscrit est conservé à la BnF sous la cote Fr. 15454, est la dernière version, la plus ample et la plus complète, du Brésil d'André Thevet, cosmographe des rois de France. Thevet fait bien plus que livrer son expérience personnelle, en vérité restreinte à l'hiver 1555-1556, lorsqu'il était l'aumônier du chevalier de Villegagnon en baie de Rio de Janeiro. Il livre un fonds documentaire unique constitué pour l'essentiel au temps de la colonie française et recueilli auprès des "truchements" installés dans le pays, complété ensuite sur le rapport des marins normands, bretons et saintongeais qui fréquentaient le littoral du Nordeste brésilien dans les dernières décennies du XVIe siècle. Texte capital pour la connaissance des tribus perdues du littoral sud-américain, les "Toupinambaoults" de Léry et les Cannibales de Montaigne, l'Histoire de deux voyages, où ont puisé tour à tour les anthropologues Alfred Métraux, Claude Lévi-Strauss et Hélène Clastres, n'avait jusqu'ici fait l'objet que d'éditions très partielles, la dernière, par Suzanne Lussagnet, remontant à 1953. Cette première édition complète inclut les variantes d'une version préparatoire connue sous le nom de Second Voyage. Elle reconstitue en outre les liens complexes que l'Histoire de deux voyages entretient avec le Grand Insulaire et Pilotage, l'autre grand inédit de Thevet, conservé lui aussi à Paris. Comme le Grand Insulaire, élaboré entre 1584 et 1588, l'Histoire de deux voyages tend à l'émiettement des Isolari, ces atlas d'îles qui fleurirent à la Renaissance et à l'âge classique. 496p, 17 illus.

Première Edition Française de la préface écrite par Théodore de Bèze pour précéder le commentaire sur l'Apocalypse d'Antoine Du Pinet, et qui fut également publiée en latin, la même année.

Originaire de Besançon, Antoine Du Pinet de Noroy (1515-1584) avait embrassé la religion protestante dont il devint l'un des plus ardents défenseurs. Il fut notamment pasteur à Genève et à Lyon. La première édition de son Exposition sur l'Apocalypse de Saint Jean, avait vu le jour en 1543 a Lyon. La présente édition genevoise est d'une très grande rareté. Page de titre assez fortement salie.

Basel: Ioannem Hervagium et Bernardum Brandun, 1557. Very Good with no dust jacket Hardcover. Bound in contemporary vellum boards. 4to (approx 9 x 12.5"). (xvi), 761, (15 index) pp. IN LATIN. Edgewear, some very old tape repairs to boards. Titles in ink in a contemporary hand. On upper board ("L. Annaei Senecae | Opera omnia | (Basileae 1557) ") and spine ("L. Annaei Senecae Opumn") Very old damp-stain on rear board not affecting text block. Very light foxing throughout. Pages quite supple. One line of text written and then crossed out on title page. VERY GOOD. This is an extremely rare copy of the complete works of Seneca printed in Basel in 1557 by Johannem Hervagium and Bernardum Brandun. Lucius Annaeus Seneca (c. 4 BC-AD 65) was a Roman philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and in one work humorist, of the Silver Age of Latin literature. Tacitus gives an account of the suicide of Seneca in his book, the Annals, in Book XV, Chapter/Number 60 through 64. Works attributed to Seneca include a satire, a meteorological essay, philosophical essays, 124 letters dealing with moral issues, and nine tragedies. Seneca's brand of Stoic philosophy emphasized practical steps by which the reader might confront life's problems. Johannem Hervagium (Johannes Hervagius) was Swiss publisher active in the period approximately 1528 through 1561, who published authoritative texts of many classical authors. EXTREMELY RARE.; 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall.

ALCHIMIE] JEAN XXII ( le Pape).
L'Elixir des Philosophes, avtrement, l'Art transmutatoire, moult vtile, attribué au Pape Iean XXII de ce nom : no encores veu, ny imprimé par cy deuant.
|
Lyon, Macé Bonhomme, 1557. - Petit in-8 de 205 pages illustré de 11 petites vignettes gravées sur bois représentant des fourneaux philosophiques, des cornues, des alambics et d'autres ustensiles employés par les alchimistes de l'époque. Quelques rousseurs et salissures marginales. Veau glacé havane, dos à nerfs orné, pièce de titre et tomaison de maroquin rouge et vert, triple filet doré d'encadrement sur les plats, tranches dorées. Charnières restaurées. Jolie reliure du XIXème.( Petit succ. de Simier). Edition originale de la traduction française. "Ouvrage d'une insigne rareté" selon la Bibliotheca Esoterica (Dorbon-Ainé). "Cet écrit se compose de deux traités. L'Elixir des Philosophes qui se compose de huit parties nécessaires, sçavoir : purger, sublimer, calciner, distiller, résoudre, congeller, incérer ou empastrir et jetter son élixir sur métaux, quand ils sont appareillés. Le second, intitulé l'Art transmutatoire, qui occupe les 55 dernières pages, offre en autres : Pour faire poudre d'or. Pour faire cinabre. Multiplication de l'or. Pour faire rubis. Pour faire or de mercure.etc. Quoique l'auteur dise, à la page 151, "que le Pape Jean fit ouvrer en Avignon, duquel ouvrage il en avoit 200 roolez d'un chacun poisoit un quintal" et que l'imprimeur Macé Bonhomme, dans son avis au lecteur, prétende avoir trouvé une copie d'un ouvrage dicté par Jean XXIII relatif au noble art Voalchademique et archicanopique.", il nous semble fort peu probable qu'un pontife qui avait pris des mesures si sévères contre les alchimistes qui parcouraient alors tous les pays et cherchaient à s'enrichir aux dépens de la crédulité publique, se soit occupé de la recherche de la Pierre Philosophale". Ceci-dit , selon Roger Caro, auteur contemporain d'ouvrage sur l'alchimie, Jean XXII peut en être l'auteur. Né à Cahors en 1244, Jacques Duèze ou d'Eusse allait devenir en 1316, un pape célèbre. Successeur de Clément V (qui prit une part active au démantèlement de l'Ordre du Temple sous le règne de Philippe - Le Bel), Jean XXII aurait fait partie, officieusement, du premier groupe d'hommes qui fondirent les légendaires Frères Aînés de la Rose Croix (F.A.R.+C.). Roger Caro, dans son Legenda, montre avec force détails, comment Jean XXII fut initié au Grand Art par ce dernier groupe de Templiers, révélant son intérêt pour la "Chimie de Dieu". La situation de Jean XXII par rapport à l'alchimie est paradoxale. D'un côté il a promulgué la décrétale "Spondent quas non exhibent" (1317) contre les alchimistes, et d'un autre côté, on lui attibue ces deux traités d'alchimie. Notre ouvrage a été également réuni avec d'autres textes de différents auteurs dans Le Miroir d'Alquimie de Rogier Bacon, également chez Macé Bonhomme et à la même date Biblioteca Esoterica 2268 ; Brunet I, 602.

Frankfurt: D. Zephelius. 1557. Later decorated wrappers Folio . FIRST SEPARATE EDITION of this important early work on artillery and civilian fireworks and the related equipment for fortresses by Leonhardt Fronsperger (d. 1575), soldier and author of a number of important military works with his "Kriegsbuch" (3 vols. Frankfurt/Main; 1573) perhaps his most famous. The work includes several woodcuts instruments for aiming artillery.& Fronsperger, a native of Ulm, writes from his own military experiences in the imperial army fighting the Turkish incursions (1566). He wrote extensively on a wide range of military subjects which were important for their practical information in organizing large military formations. Fronsperger wanted to replace the free Landsknechtstum with a standing military that would be legally bound to protect the peace and order of their homeland and its leaders. He died in Ulm in 1575 from an accident with a rifle [6], 58 leaves. Large woodcut printer's device at end, large woodcut initials and tail pieces; woodcut of gun sight measuring instrument; light damp stain along blank corner of some leaves § VD 16, F 3114; Cockle, Military Books, no. 932
