In 1577, he moved to Antwerp in the Duchy of Brabant, which was part of the Spanish Netherlands or Southern Netherlands and Low Countries of that time (16th Century), where he further developed and used his skills as a copper engraver. Between 1585 and 1588 he lived in London, where he met the geographer Richard Hakluyt and began to collect stories and illustrations of various European explorations, most notably from Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues.Depiction of Spanish atrocities in the New World, as recounted by Bartolome de las Casas in Narratio Regionum indicarum per Hispanos Quosdam devastatarum verissima.In 1588, Theodorus and his family moved permanently to Frankfurt-am-Main, where he became citizen and began to plan his first publications.

- Hagenau, Johann Setzer, Januar 1528. 8vo. 90 Bll.nnum., Mit Holzschnitt-Titelbordüre, einer Initiale und Druckermarke am Schluß. Pappband. Erste Ausgabe der ersten Gedichtsammlungen Melanchthons als auch Micyllus', selten. Der Herausgeber Johannes Reiffenstein (1507-1528), aus einer Humanistenfamile stammend, gehörte ebenso wie Micyllus (1503-1558) zum Wittenberger Kreis um Melanchthon. Kurz nach dem Erscheinen des Werks kam er im Frühsommer 1528 bei der Jagd im Taunus ums Leben. Unter den Gedichten des Micyllus, als neulateinischer Dichter sicher bedeutender als Melanchthon, ist auch das bekannte "Hodeoporicon", ein 1526 entstandenes Gedicht über eine Reise von Wittenberg nach Frankfurt (vgl. Wiegand, Hodoeporica, Studien zur neulateinschen Reisedichtung 4.2.5, S. 63 ff.).

Eimas, Heirs of Hippocrates, 194: «This rare volume contains one of the earliest collections of those medical writers and physicians whose works bridged the period between the early Greeks and the Middle Ages. Soranus of Ephesus (ca. 98-138), In artem medendi isagoge, is here in its first edition. Fragments from Oribasius' tract, De victus ratione, are presented in their only edition. The treatise De re medica, ascribed to Pliny the Elder (23-79), differs from the only other printed version, published in 1509. De herbarum virtutibus, here attributed to Lucius Apuleius' (fl. 2nd century), is more likely the work of Apuleius Barbarus or Pseudo-Apuleius (fl. 4th century) and, as usual, is accompanied by De betonica commonly ascribed to the Roman physician, Antonius Musa (fl. 23 B.C.).

Valladolid, c1528]., [Lazaro Salvago, - Columbus strikes a deal Folio (300 by 210mm), 4pp., continuous line, headed by five lines only outlined by a capital letter "E" of casts, with a capital letter engraved with illustrations of acanthus sheets, gothic type 98 mm/20 lines. The sole surviving example of the first printed version of "The Capitulations of Santa Fe" from the Fundaçion Casa d'Alba. The Santa Fe Capitulations is a Royal Chancery document containing the Capitulations Christopher Columbus signed with the monarchs Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in Santa Fe de la Vega on 17 April 1492, a few months after the capture of Granada. The Capitulations lay down the conditions under which Columbus was to set off on his first voyage, which involved the discovery of America in the same year. The Capitulations grant Columbus the titles of Admiral of the Ocean Sea, Viceroy, Governor-General and honorific Don of the Indies, and also ten percent of all riches to be obtained from his intended voyage. The agreement took three months to prepare, and was finally sealed at the Santa Fe encampment, on the outskirts of a besieged Granada. The original manuscript has not survived. The earliest surviving manuscript copy is contained in the confirmations issued by the Crown in Barcelona in 1493. The present work is the only known example of the first printed version of the document. Until 2014 it was thought to have been an example of a 1497 printing.

Né à Andernach en Allemagne (1487-1574), Jean Gonthier fut un helléniste distingué et enseigna à l'université de Louvain ; puis il vint s'établir à Paris en 1525. Sa vocation pour la médecine s'y dessina et il se plongea dans l'étude d'Hippocrate et de Galien dont il a traduit les oeuvres. Passionné d'anatomie, il relança puissamment les recherches dans ce domaine en pratiquant de nombreuses dissections. Il ouvrit un cours d'anatomie concurremment avec son ami Sylvius et fit rapidement progresser la connaissance du corps humain.

In fine grande impresa dello stampatore, già di Jacopo Pencio, con Pegaso entro cornice di mm 82x70, arricchita di fregi silografici (non riscontrata dai comuni repertori). Terza edizione (prima Ferrara 1475, seconda Napoli ca. 1490) della Teseida, poema in dodici libri in ottave, composto tra il 1339 e 1441, nel quale Boccaccio si propose di rinnovare in volgare il genere epico. L'opera è preceduta da una dedica del Boccaccio di tre pagine in prosa a Fiammetta. L'edizione è arricchita da una dedica di Tizzone Gaetano al signor Pirro di Gonzaga. Tizzone fu un noto ed operoso collaboratore culturale dell'editoria veneziana cinquecentesca, che nel 1524 approntò l'edizione dell'Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta e curò, negli anni successivi, le Stanze del Poliziano, il Filocolo e la Teseida appunto, ove appare costante la sua preoccupazione di restituire i testi al loro aspetto originario.

Venice: (1528-[47]). 85 x 145 mm., small area of margin loss repaired in far upper right margin level with the text, otherwise good condition.; "This map appears in an atlas of the islands of the world, or 'Isolario' as they were called. The first atlas, issued in c.1485 by Bartolommeo dalli Sonetti, was confined to the eastern Mediterranean. The second, containing this map, covered the whole world. The first edition was entitled 'Libro di Benedetto Bordone'. All of the three subsequent editions of this work carried the title of 'Isolario'.Appearing on the reverse of page VI, the map lacks detail. It is purported to have been of Greenland but recent arguments by Suárez point to it being of the North American continent. The name given to this land mass is 'Terra de lavoratore' after João Fernandes of the Azores, who arrived at Cape Farewell, Greenland, in 1500. 'Stretto pte del modo novo' depicts the area corresponding to the latitude of the Caribbean, the land mass shown below it being South America. This is derived from the world map at the beginning of the atlas. The fictitious islands of 'brasil' and 'asmaide' appear here as they did on many maps of this period. Although clearly representing America the geography of the coastline is however derived from the north-east Asian one, the two often being interrelated at this time" (Burden 8). It is on a full sheet of Italian text with a map of Scandinavia on verso. An analysis of the text setting identifies this as being from the 1547 edition. Burden 8; Karrow pp. 89-93; Suarez p. 66.

Manoscritto cartaceo; secolo XVI, Cm. 13x9, carte (36). Legatura coeva in pergamena floscia; sul piatto anteriore tre segnature di biblioteca. Qualche piccola mancanza alla pergamena del piatto superiore. Scrittura corsiva. 12 linee per pagina, ampi margini, richiami orrizontali, rari marginalia. Il manoscritto riporta la traduzione latina medievale attribuita a Gerardo Da Cremona, allestita sulla versione araba tradita anche a stampa all'interno della miscellanea pseudo - aristotelica "Secretum Secretorum". Il breve trattato "De intellectu" è un testo appartenente al "Corpus" di Alessandro di Afrodisia riguardante l'interpretazione della psicologia aristotelica, denominato "De Anima II" meglio noto con il nome "Mantissa". Da alcuni riscontri effettuati tra il testo edito a Lione nel 1528 e il manoscritto presente, si rivela la perfetta aderenza tra loro, segno che il copista allestì il testo del "De intellectu" in un opuscolo autonomo, visto che in tale forma non era disponibile a stampa.

Nella Ecatonfilea una donna esperta di questioni sentimentali, da dei consigli a delle giovani ragazze per insegnar loro come si ottiene e si conserva l'affetto dell'amante.

Simon Silvius ( Du Bois ), 1528. [10], 31, [5] leaves ; in-folio; full leather binding with gold ornaments and raised bands on the spine. First, very rare, edition of the only book by Emperor Claudius' famed physician, Scribonius. It contains the first reference to the Hippocratic Oath and mentions many remedies used for the most various sanitary purposes by members of the imperial family. Very interesting are the three different recipes for toothpaste (vinegar, honey, radish and salt are used, but also fine grains of glass) and the extensive use of opium in a wide range of drugs, from eyesalve to nasal polyps treatments (a section about opium poisoning is also present). Another prominent ingredient found in many medicaments is wine, and particularly the famed "Falernum" variety. Other curious insights at the Roman-era medicine show a rigorous scientific approach, with some occasional concessions to popular beliefs and to magical and fantastical remedies (like the purificatory rite of drinking one's own blood). Very broad in scope, it covers many diseases and a lot of tested cures, making it one of the most important medicine treatise of his era, along with Celsus' De re medicina and the 'Hippocratic collection'. "Scribonius was the first to describe accurately the preparation of true opium, and the first to reccomend electrotherapy (as provided by live torpedo-fish) for headaches and other nervous afflictions. He was also the earliest known author to mention the Hippocratic oath" (Norman) Norman 429, Adams C-1243, DSB GM 1984.1, Garrison-Morton 1785 Bound with Fernel's "De … [Click Below for Full Description]
