Overall an excellent copy. Extremely rare second edition with considerable alterations and additions (See Mortimer, 280). This extraordinary, rare work provides evidence that playing cards were used for divination in the sixteenth century. For this game of fortune and chance, players ask one of fifty provided questions, then draw a series of cards directing them to their personal answer (in the form of a tercet verse written by the well - known Renaissance poet Lodovico Dolce [1508 / 10 - 1568]). Virtues and follies, along with philosophers, are shown in the many fascinating emblematic illustrations, which strongly influenced Renaissance artists, most notably Bronzino (see Cole, Sixteenth Century Italian Art, p. 75). Because of its appeal to magic and often anti - clerical verses, the book was placed on the Church?s Index of prohibited books during the … [Click Below for Full Description]

From Brittany and died in Toulouse, he was a preacher of Louis XI and the Duke of Burgundy. His reputation is mainly based on the preaching he did during the years 1494 and 1508 in the church of Saint-Jean en Greve in Paris and strange liberties he gave it. He seemed never find the word hard enough nor sufficiently vivid expression to his sermons. "Nobody had ever attacked all classes and all social professions more boldly, virulence and tasteless. Each of his sermons is a bitter and outrageous satire, covered with foul language, trivial, and words borrowed from bad places of the lowest "(Hoefer).

Er war für Maximilian in Straßburg, Graz und Wien tätig und wurde nach dessen Tod von Kaiser Karl V. als Sekretär übernommen, der ihm 1520 die Pflegschaft des Schlosses Stixenstein (Niederösterreich) übergab und ihn in den Adelsstand erhob. 1521 wurde T. von Erzherzog -Ferdinand zum Mitglied des niederösterreichischen Hofrats ernannt und amtierte seit 1523 privisorisch, seit 1524 definitiv als dessen Kanzler. T. arbeitete an fast allen poetischen Werken Kaiser Maximilians I. mit. Seine bedeutendste Leistung war die Redaktion des unvollendeten Weißkunig. - Sehr selten.

A few small inkspots, otherwise clean. (10), 1 blank leaves,525 pp.. Scarce first edition of Aldus' Epistles of Plinius. The edition contains many Epistles never before printed."Containing ten books, with many Epistles never before published: It has also the Panegyric. These (editions from 1508-18) are the only editions of Pliny's Epistles that ever issued from the Aldine press, although bibliographers have erraneously mentioned an edition of 1504. The edition of 1508 is curious from being the first work in which the subscription announces the partnership of Aldus, and his father-in-law Asulanus. It is compiled from some MSS, which Mocenigo brought from France to Italy, and which Aldus says are "not only very correct, but which one would suppose to be as ancient as the time of Pliny himself."

[Milan, J. A. Scinzenzeler], 1508.. Folio (248 x 197 mm). 10, 88 ff. (the two index leaves bound before text). Title with full-page woodcut map (second issue, with "Arabicus" replacing "P[er]sicus"). Early 20th century red morocco with title gilt to spine, boards and dentelles ruled in gilt, all edges gilt.. First Latin edition of the most important and "earliest printed collection of voyages and discoveries" (PMM). Also the only edition of this collection of travel reports to include the map showing Africa, Arabia and part of Europe, illustrating for the first time the new discoveries in the eastern hemisphere. This map, not included in the original 1507 Italian edition or any subsequent edition, is the earliest to show Africa completely surrounded by seas and, as one of the first non-Ptolemaic maps to include Arabia, definitely the earliest "modern" printed map to show Mecca. Published in 1508, it raises a controversy still with us more than 500 years later: it labels the Red Sea and the Gulf as a single body of water and calls it the Gulf, but in the first state of the block it was called the "Persian Gulf" ("Sinus Persicus"). For reasons unknown, the editor revised the block with a patch to rename it the "Arabian Gulf" ("Sinus Arabicus"). The map therefore exists in two different states in copies of this edition. Ours is the rarer second one, with "Sinus Arabicus". Considered a "vehicle for the dissemination throughout Renaissance Europe of the news of the great discoveries both in the east and the west" (PMM), the present collection contains reports of the voyages of C … [Click Below for Full Description]

(Nuremberg, Georg Stuchs, 22 Sept. 1508).. Small folio (271 x 181 mm). 136 unnumbered pp. Title with full-page woodcut. Early 20th century red morocco with title gilt to spine, boards and dentelles ruled in gilt, all edges gilt.. First German edition of the most important and "earliest printed collection of voyages and discoveries" (PMM), following the original 1507 Italian edition and printed in the same year as the Latin edition. Humboldt praises this translation, prepared by Jobst Ruchamer, as more faithful and far more carefully edited than the Latin one (cf. Borba de M.). Considered a "vehicle for the dissemination throughout Renaissance Europe of the news of the great discoveries both in the east and the west" (PMM), this is the first-ever collection of voyages printed in German (cf. Sabin). It contains reports of the voyages of Columbus, Vespucci, Cabral (Brazil), Cadamos (Africa) and, perhaps most importantly, "the earliest printed account of the voyage of Vasco da Gama" to India (PMM). This voyage to the eastern hemisphere is comparable in importance only to Columbus's in the west, as it "opened the way for the maritime invasion of the East by Europe" (PMM). The report mentions Mecca and gives a description of the Arabian Gulf, "where lie great stretches of land, and many kingdoms [...] And in the midst of this sea lies a small island called Gulfal (Julfar), where there are many pearls. And at the beginning of this sea lies a larger island, Agremus, ruled by the sheikh of Julfar, where there are many horses [...]". - Da Gama's pioneering sea voyage ranks amongst th … [Click Below for Full Description]

An early edition (first, Brescia 1484) of this 'vocabulary' of unusual Latin words, with reference to Horace, Vergil, Ovid, et al. Gianfresco Boccardo (d. 1505), who adopted the humanist name of 'Pylades', also produced other educational aids which were often reprinted in the sixteenth century, including a Latin grammar in verse (Carmen scholasticum) and a fuller grammar, the Grammatica, to which this work could be used as an accompaniment. 'The Vocabularium is apparently a small dictionary in Latin, each word followed by a definition in metre and a detailed description in prose, giving the various forms of the word and quotations from classical authors' (Plimpton, 'Grammatical Manuscripts and Early Printed Grammars', Proc.

4°, 30 nn. Bl. Mit 25 ganzseitigen Holzschnitten von Urs Graf (24) und Hans Wechtlin (1), Späterer Ganzperg.-Bd. m. handschriftl. Rückentitel, Durchgehend etwas fingerfleckig, einige Blätter wenig knickspurig, etwas fleckig u. m. einem Wurmlöchlein. Ein hinerlegter kleiner Randriss. Die grandiosen Holzschnitte, von denen einige etwas flauer, die meisten aber sehr kontrastreich und kraftvoll abgezogen. Fünfte lateinische Ausgabe der berühmten Passionstexte, die der Straßburger Prediger Johannes Geiler (1445-1510) aus den vier Evangelien zusammengestellt hat. Besorgt wurde die Ausgabe mit den Texten zu den blattgrossen Holzschnitten Urs Grafs durch Matthias Ringmann, genannt Philesius (1482-1511), daher auch Ringmann-Passion genannt" (Frank Hieronymus, Basler Buchillustration 1500-1545).Urs Graf hatte die Holzschnitte für die 1506 erschienene Erstausgabe geschaffen. "Urs Grafs erste größere Arbeit für den Holzschnitt, sogleich in einem nicht gewöhnlichen Grossformat; sie hat sich wohl über mehrere Jahre hingezogen" (Hieronymus). In unserer Ausgabe ist für die Auferstehung nicht der Holzschnitt der Drei Marien am Grabe wiederholt, sondern die Auferstehung aus der Passionsfolge von dem um 1480 in Straßburg geborenen Maler und Holzschneider Hans Wechtlin verwendet (zu der Folge vgl. Wilhelm Worringer, Urs Graf. Die Holzschnitte zur Passion. München 1923).

[Paris:] by Jodocus Badius Ascensius, [15 July, 1508]. ex antiquissimis Britannici sermonis monumentis in Latinum sermonem traducta: & ab Ascensio cura & impendio magistri Ivonis Cavellati in lucem edita: prostant in eiusdem aedibus. Octavo (196 × 130 mm). Regency polished calf, double black morocco labels, spine with blind and gilt tools in compartments, sides bordered in blind with a decorative roll, drab endpapers. Title woodcut vignette, 3- and 6-line criblé initials. Two small ink notes on title (one erased) and the early ownership inscription "Hasperg"; a manuscript note on the printer to a binder's blank, signed "E.K.C. 1866", noting the book's purchase by "Uncle Hugh" for £1. 11s. 6d. Lower joint starting at ends but holding firm, extremities rubbed, some early manuscript underlines and marginal notes, very light occasional spotting, a very good copy, the paper strong, fresh, and generally clean. First complete edition, edited by Ivo Cavellatus, a professor of the College of Quimper in Paris, from four manuscripts available in Paris, of one of the most important products of Anglo-Norman literature. The Historia regum Britanniae is "one of the most popular and influential historical works of the middle ages" (ODNB); it was written by Geoffrey of Monmouth (c.1100–1154/5), bishop of St Asaph. Completed by 1139, Geoffrey's history introduced such figures as Arthur, Merlin, and King Leir to an international reading public. "The fact that thereafter the Arthurian cycle was mediated primarily through the mid-fifteenth-century Morte d'Arthur of Sir Thom … [Click Below for Full Description]

Paris, Udalricus Gering & Bertholdus Remboldt, 1508, March 8. (Colophon). 4to-format (recte 8vo). Later nice full calf binding (ab. 1900) with richly gilt spine and gilt borders to boards. Scratches to front board. Title-page repaired at margin (with very minor loss to ab. two letters on both recto and verso). Folio VIII and first leaf of index repaired at margin with early 16th century printed paper (no loss). Title-page and index-leaf with fairly heavy dampstaining, otherwise mostly faint dampstaining. Large beautiful woodcut printer's device and many beautiful woodcut initials throughout (the first depicting Adam and Eve). ¶ The very scarce second edition of Suberti's (or Subertus') Manual of pastoral visitation, also called the "de visitatine episcopali", an important tool for Renaissance priests.The work originally appeared in 1504, also printed by Remboldt and Gerin, but the present second edition of 1508 is of special interest, as it constitutes the very final collaboration of the two great printers. Ulrich Gerin, who is famous for being the first printer in Paris and the founder of the first printing office in France, began a partnership with the excellent famous printer Bertold Remboldt during the last decade of the the 15th century. Out of this collaboration appeared some excellent works (that are now sought after), and the partnership lasted till Gerin's death (ab. 1509). The last work that they did together was the second edition of Suberti's visitation manual, which appeared on the 8th of March 1508. After the death of Gerin, Remboldt continued on his own.Anoth … [Click Below for Full Description]

2 volumes: ix+634 pages with frontispiece, photostat copies of original manuscripts, plates and bibliography; 613 pages with index. Folio (13" x 9 3/4") bound in three quarter leather with red and gilt lettering to spine. First edition.Sebastian Cabot was born to Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), also an explorer variously credited with Genoese or Gaetan origins, and Mattea. In 1508-09 Sebastian Cabot followed in his father's footsteps by leading one of the first expeditions to find a North-West passage, and indeed claimed to have found one, but was forced to turn back by his crew. He may have found the entrance to Hudson's Bay. By 1512 Sebastian was certainly employed by Henry VIII as a cartographer at Greenwich. In the same year he accompanied the English explorer Hugh Willoughby to Spain, where he was made captain by Ferdinand V. After Ferdinand's death he returned to England. In 1516, Cabot and Sir Thomas Pert, then Vice Admiral of England, sailed in two ships to explore the coasts of Brazil and the West Indies for Henry VIII.[1] After coming under artillery fire at Hispaniola, the expedition withdrew and returned to England reportedly because of Pert's faint-heartedness.[2][3] Subsequently, Cabot moved to Spain due to greater support for explorations by the Spanish king.[4] In 1522, although once more in the employ of Spain as a member of the Council of the Indies and holding the rank of pilot-major, he secretly offered his services to Venice, undertaking to find the Northwest Passage to China. Cabot finally received the rank of captain general from Spain, and was entruste … [Click Below for Full Description]
