Bislang nicht nachgewiesene Inkunabelausgabe der klassischen katholischen Beichtanweisung. Der bemerkenswerte Titelholzschnitt zeigt eine Beichtszene, hinter dem Beichtstuhl ein Teufel, der einen (im Spruchband gedruckten) verworrenen Spruch einflüstert. - Diese Schrift, erstmals um 1471 erschienen, erlebte allein in der Inkunabelzeit über 100 bekannte Ausgaben; die vorliegende ist über den Gesamtkatalog der Wiegendrucke nicht ermittelbar. - Der aus Lissabon stammende Dominikaner-, dann Augustiner- und schließlich Benediktinermönch Escobar (um 1367-1430) promovierte 1393 in Wien zum Doktor der Theologie und war später Bischof von Ciudad Rodrigo (1408), Ajaccio (1422) und Titular-Erzbischof von Megara (1428). Der päpstliche "poenitentiarius minor" war einer der am häufigsten gedruckten Autoren des späten 15. Jahrhunderts. - Etwas fleckig und mit kl. Quetschfalten.

Venice: Vindelinus de Spira for Johannes de Colonia, 1471. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. An early edition of Cicero's de finibus edited by Georgius Merula- either the editio princeps of this work, or the second after the Conradus Sweynheym edition of Cicero's Scripta Philisophica which also appeared in 1471, but in either case, the first stand alone edition - there was an undated edition by Ulrich Zel around 1471 that seems to have been a piracy of this de Spira edition (due to some identical errors). This edition dated [not after 9 Nov.] 1471. A substantial fragment rebound in 19th century leather backed boards, shaken, spine chipped. 52 of 93 leaves, lacking the 4 blanks, front and rear, colophon not present. Some scattered foxing, heavier in some of the margins, slight wear, contemporary marginalia throughout and a few manicules, some slightly trimmed.Vindelinus de Spira had just taken over after his brother's untimely death - this Cicero is set in a very fine early Roman typeface, a lovely example. His brother, Johannes, had been given a 5 year monopoly on printing in Venice beginning in 1469 when he opened the cities first print shop, but he died the following year while printing just the fourth work, Augustine's De Civitate Dei.

1471. 12,5x17,1 Early printing in Cologne, which was mostly anonymously produced, began with the prolific Ulrich Zell, from 1466, Arnold Ther Hoernen (now also associated with the Printer of Dictys), from 1470, and then Johann Schilling (considered by Vouillème and Corsten to be the Printer of Dares, and now connected to other anonymous presses), from perhaps 1471. As with many of Zells early books, the majority of Schillings books were small and short quartos of the sort of Thomist and Albertist texts in use at the University of Cologne, which was strongly anti-humanist Thomas Aquinas, Henricus de Hassia and Jean Gerson. However, as can be seen in this volume, classical authors such as Cicero and Seneca also appeared from Schillings workshop. The typefaces used by these anonymous Cologne printers were based on the bookhands current in Cologne at the time (as opposed to Zells more humanistic typefaces). The Ther Hoernen imprint is the first edition of the Alexander romance, in the Latin version made in the tenth century by Leo the Archpriest of Naples. This compilation of texts was presumably assembled at the time, despite the later binding. - Sieben Schillingdrucke in einem Band von äußerster Seltenheit.

This short handbook on Latin metrics by the humanist and pupil of Vittorino da Feltre Omnibonus Lonicenus (Ognibene Bonisoli, or Ognibene da Lonigo, near Vicenza) enjoyed large and enduring popularity in the fifteenth century, and is often included as an appendix to his grammar De octo partibus orationis, first issued in 1473. The first edition of the De arte metrica presented here was published by the skilled printer Adam from Ambergau (Bavaria), whose Venetian activity can be dated to the years 1471-1472. The 'doctus Adam' – as he identified himself in the colophon of some editions – set the Greek words occurring in Leonicenus' work in the same types he had used in 1471 for the first edition of the Έρωτήματα, the famous elementary Greek grammar composed by Manuel Chrysoloras (ca. 1350-1415).

1471 - 1472. 12,5x17,1 Early printing in Cologne, which was mostly anonymously produced, began with the prolific Ulrich Zell, from 1466, Arnold Ther Hoernen (now also associated with the Printer of Dictys), from 1470, and then Johann Schilling (considered by Vouillème and Corsten to be the Printer of Dares, and now connected to other anonymous presses), from perhaps 1471. As with many of Zell's early books, the majority of Schilling's books were small and short quartos of the sort of Thomist and Albertist texts in use at the University of Cologne, which was strongly anti-humanist; Thomas Aquinas, Henricus de Hassia and Jean Gerson. However, as can be seen in this volume, classical authors such as Cicero and Seneca also appeared from Schilling's workshop. The typefaces used by these anonymous Cologne printers were based on the bookhands current in Cologne at the time (as opposed to Zell's more humanistic typefaces). The Ther Hoernen imprint is the first edition of the Alexander romance, in the Latin version made in the tenth century by Leo the Archpriest of Naples. This compilation of texts was presumably assembled at the time, despite the later binding. - Sieben Schillingdrucke in einem Band von äußerster Seltenheit. Versand D: 5,00 EUR VR 48806

Folio (225:306 mm). Einzige Ausgabe; Variante mit dem fehlerhaften Incipit ("heremitarnm"). Hauptwerk des aus dem toskanischen Borgo San Sepolcro stammenden Augustiner-Eremiten Dionysius de Robertis (um 1280-1342), seit 1340 Bischof von Monopoli in Unteritalien. Der Frühhumanist war Mitglied des Freundschaftsbundes der jüngeren Dichter Boccaccio und Petrarca (letzterem schenkte er sogar eine Handschrift von Augustinus' "Confessiones"). "Als erster Gelehrter interpretierte er seit 1338 an der Universität Neapel klassische Autoren. Von seinen diesbezüglichen Werken ist der von Zeitgenossen und Nachwelt sehr geschätzte Kommentar zu den 'Facta et dicta memorabilia' des Valerius Maximus erhalten geblieben (rund 30 Mss., gedruckt Straßburg um 1470)" (A. Zumkeller, in: LMA III, 1088). 1489 erschien in Augsburg eine verkürzte deutsche Übersetzung des Kommentars. Valerianus Maximus' Sammlung historischer Anekdoten (vor allem aus der römischen Geschichte) diente der rhetorischen Schulung und blieb im ganzen Mittelalter populär.

Schilling studied in Basel and Erfurt before settling in Cologne in the early 1470s. He was financially supported by the merchant Johann Helman (who later went into partnership with Heinrich Quentell), though Schilling had to leave Cologne by 1475 to escape his debts, and his typeface was then used by Nicolaus Gotz. Schilling subsequently moved to Vienne and produced books there in the late 1470s.From an English perspective, Schilling is important in his connection to William Caxton; he is known to have printed Bartholomaeus Anglicus, Walter Burley and Gesta Romanorum for William Caxton in 1472-1473 (see Paul Needham, \"William Caxton and his Cologne partners\", Ars impressoria, Munich, 1986, pp. 118-119, and Lotte Hellinga, William Caxton and early printing in England, London, 2010, p.32). It is quite plausible that Caxton was a business associate of his fellow merchant Helman, who also operated in the Low Countries.As with many of Zell\'s early books, the majority of Schilling\'s books were small and short quartos of the sort of Thomist and Albertist texts in use at the University of Cologne, which was strongly anti-humanist; Thomas Aquinas, Henricus de Hassia and Jean Gerson.

Original attractively matted and hand coloured numismatic print, titled: 'Albertus Durerr Pictorts Germanicus' two medals showing Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), a German painter, printmaker, engraver and mathematician. The rear of one medal is also shown. Etching / stipple engraving on a verge type handlaid paper, with modern handcolouring. Description: This print originates from Frans Van Mieris' 'Histori der Nederlandsche Vorsten Uit de Huijzen van Beijere, Borgonje en Oostenrijk' (The Hague: Pieter de Hondt, 1732-35). The plates in this work are not typically coloured. In recent times the finely engraved coins have been meticulously hand coloured, been given a black background to make them stand out and have been beautifully matted in expensive matting. Ready to frame.Artists and Engravers: This image engraved by an unknown engraver after the design of Frans van Mieris. Frans van Mieris (1689-1763) was a Dutch painter, like his father, grandfather and uncle before him. He was also an avid numismatic collector, which is clearly reflected in this work. Condition: Very good, given age. Professionally matted. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Not examined out of matting. Storage location: DPO86-06 The overall size is ca. 12.8 x 12.4 inch. The image size is ca. 5.1 x 4.7 inch. The overall size is ca. 32.5 x 31.5 cm. The image size is ca. 13 x 12 cm.

First issue of the first and only edition, in the original Latin, of a three related treatises arguing against the European use of the new medicinal plants that were beginning to find their way from the Middle East or "India" to European botanical gardens along with the great Arabic works of medical botany. Symphorien Champier (1471/72-ca. 1539), a humanist physician in Lyons, mixes elements of climate, ethnicity, nationalism and religion to claim that the exotic medicines were often "pernicious and venomous" for Europeans, and he proposes indigenous alternatives to them (God in his wisdom provides each region with the plants it needs). He takes this even to a national level within Europe, based on the differing character and nature of the people of different nations. He was influenced by Brunfels, who had made similar arguments for Germans to use German plants.With an early owner's name on the title-page. Joachim Gomez de la Cortina (1808-1868), a Spanish senator and rector of the University of Madrid, was one of the leading bibliophiles of his day.
