Frontespizio figurato con bella cornice silografica in quattro blocchi con motivi floreali e putti, assai elaborata e decorativa. 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. Assai rara (censita in sole 16 biblioteche italiane). Bell'esempl. (tracce di polvere sul primo e ultimo foglio). Gamba 218: ''Rarissima''. Bacchi della Lega 126.

The Cape Verde archipelago was uninhabited until the 15th century, when Portuguese explorers discovered and colonized the islands, establishing the first European settlement in the tropics. Ideally located for the Atlantic slave trade, the islands grew prosperous throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, attracting merchants, privateers, and pirates. The end of slavery in the 19th century led to economic decline and emigration. Cape Verde gradually recovered as an important commercial center and stopover for shipping routes. Incorporated as an overseas department of Portugal in 1951, the islands continued to agitate for independence, which was peacefully achieved in 1975. The islands of the Cape Verde archipelago were discovered by Genoese and Portuguese navigators around 1456. In 1462, Portuguese settlers arrived at Santiago and founded a settlement they called Ribeira Grande. In the 16th century, the archipelago prospered from the Atlantic slave trade. Pirates occasionally attacked the Portuguese settlements. Sir Francis Drake, an English corsair privateering under a letter of marque granted by the English crown, twice sacked the (then) capital Ribeira Grande in 1585 when it was a part of the Iberian Union. After a French attack in 1712, the town declined in importance relative to ne … [Click Below for Full Description]

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.

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.

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 1444, Lorenzo Valla completed his Latin prose versions of the first 17 books of the Iliad, and Raffaele Maffei published a version of the Odyssey, partially in verse, in 1510. The version of Maffei became particularly popular because it was reprinted along with other Latin translations of the Homeric text by Lorenzo Valla, Aldus Manutius, and others in Antwerp in 1528. - Der erst Teil der lateinischen Gesamtausgabe von Antwerpen. - II.

(In fine:) Impressa in Vinegia per me Girolamo Pentio da Lecco a 7 di marzo 1528. in-4, ff. 66 n.n. (segn.: A-O4, P6, S4), testo in carattere corsivo su due colonne; leg. primo '800 in mezza pelle verde, tassello e fregi oro al dorso. Frontespizio figurato con bella cornice silografica in quattro blocchi con motivi floreali e putti, assai elaborata e decorativa. 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.

Parisiis, venundantur Ioanni Parvo and Iodoco Badio ascensio, 1528. Cm. 33,5,cc. (8) xcvi. Con magnifico frontespizio xilografico e numerosi bellissimi capilettera. Legatura antica in piena pergamena rigida. Antiche annotazioni di possesso al frontespizio; macchietta al margine superiore di alcune carte iniziali e finali, aloni sparsi perlopiù lievi e marginali, peraltro nel complesso buon esemplare. Tucidide (460 a.C. ca. - dopo il 399 a.C.), storico ateniese, fu anche militare e filosofo politico. La Guerra del Peloponneso è considerato il suo capolavoro storiografico. L'Autore descrive, con criteri storiografici rigorosi per l'epoca, un minuzioso resoconto della guerra tra Sparta e Atene intercorsa tra il 431 e il 404 a.C., nonché la descrizione della sventurata spedizione ateniese in Sicilia del 415 a.C. che portò alla distruzione della flotta a Siracusa. La traduzione latina si deve al grande umanista romano Lorenzo Valla (1407-1457). Rara e prestigiosa edizione parigina (Jean Petit) sconosciuta a Brunet e Graesse. Cfr. Kvk. [Attributes: Hard Cover]
