Seconde édition (la première parut à Lyon l'année précédente) de ce recueil de règles et commentaires pour l'interprétation des Ecritures à l'usage des étudiants. Au verso du titre se trouve le texte suivant qui le prolonge: "Habes sacrarum literarum studiose Theologe, 234 Regulas, quae ad Diuinae Scripturae intelligentiam plurimum conferunt, ex Dionysio Areopagita, Origene Adamantio, Hilario Pictauiensi, Didymo Alexandrino, Gregorio Nazianzeno, Basilio Magno, Ambrosio Mediolanensi, Ioanne Chrysostomo ... theologorum communi traditione excerptas, cum suis explanationibus per reuerendum patrem Franciscum Ruizium Vallisoletanum ...". Gregorio Mayans y Siscar (1699-1781), le célèbre savant de Valencia, conseillait (parmi quelques autres ouvrages dont ceux de Juan Luis Vivés), les "Regulae Intelligendi" de Ruiz dans son projet pour réformer la culture espagnole. "Estas obras ayudarán a los alumnos en sus estudios y, superando las deficiencias de los profesores, formarán grandes maestros" (cf. Mestre). Francisco Ruiz de Montoya, originaire de Valladolid, fut moine bénédictin dans les monastères de Salamanca et Zamora. Plus tard il fut élu Abbé de San Facundo de Sahagùn, dans la province de Léon. L'ouvrage est dédié à l'évêque de Coria (Caceres), Francisco Bovadilla. Ruiz publia en 1540 un ouvrage extrêmement rare sur Aristote, édité à Sahagùn, qui est le premi … [Click Below for Full Description]

Precede una vita di Seneca tratta dal libro III del De Poetis Latinis di Pietro Crinito, al secolo Pietro Baldi del Riccio (Firenze, 1475-ivi, 1507). Fioriture e aloni marginali al titolo, sparse quanto lievi arrossature. Antica firma di possesso al titolo. Ex-libris di Gefter Wondrich. Buon esemplare. Edizione cinquecentesca lionese del solo corpus tragico di rilievo che ci sia pervenuto della latinità. Comprende, nell'ordine non cronologico del Codice Etrusco-Laurenziano, le traduzioni di: Hercules Furens, Thyestes, Thebais, Hippolytus, Oedipus, Troas, Medea, Agamemnon, Octavia, Hercules Oetaeus. Ai limiti dell'espressionismo verbale, le tregedie di Seneca costituiscono l'apogeo della tragedia retorica, destinata probabilmente alla lettura nelle sale di recitazione, in cui l'azione drammatica è sostituita dalla declamazione dei sentimenti e dalla sottigliezza del dialogo sofistico. Baudrier, VIII, p. 214. Manca a STC French Books, che cita le edizioni del Gryphium del 1541 e del 1584, e all'Adams, che cita invece le stampe del 1541, del 1554, del 1576, del 1584.

Lyon: Imprimé par Balthazar Arnoullet [pour] Guillaume Gaseau, 1547. One of the ablest defenders of the faith in the early centuries of Christianity, Lactantius (ca. 260-340) was a teacher of rhetoric known for his elegant flow of words (a reputation that probably earned him his name, which in English is roughly equivalent to "Milky"). His "Divine Institutions" presents the new religion as the most logical of creeds, drawing on the arguments of Stoic philosophy and aimed at an audience of educated pagans. The work was written during the Great Persecution, but references added by Lactantius to Constantine indicate that he lived to see the legalization of Christianity. This first French translation by René Famé, secretary to Francis I, was likely undertaken at the request of that monarch, to whom the work is dedicated. Ours is probably the second edition, the first having been issued in Paris in 1542. Like the imprint, the binding here is likely to have originated in Lyon, where many of the best entrelac bindings were executed during the reigns of Francis I and Henry II. Partly influenced by Islamic models, entrelac decoration made its way through Italy and into southern France, where it came to adorn some of the finest bindings of the period, to be found in such major libraries as those owned by Henry II, Catherine de Medici, and Jean Grolier in France; by Marcus Fugger in Germany; and by Thomas Wotton in England. During this time, the use, as here, of painted inlays or onlays was considered to be the height of French bibliopegic fashion and one of the most charming manifes … [Click Below for Full Description]

TOLOMEI, Claudio. DE LE LETTERE...LIB. SETTE. (Venice): Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari, 1547. 4to. 19th-century boards. (238 leaves. First edition. [Mortimer Italian, 500; Brunet V, 877]. The most important letter in this collection from an architectural point of view, is one written to Count Agostino de' Landi, 14 November 1542. In it Tolomei outlines an eight-point program by the Accademia della Virtu which ha profound impact on the establishing of the selective methodology of later architectural theoreticians from Philander, Vignola, Palladio, to De l'Orme a Barbaro. The book, surprisingly the most complete edition of Tolomei's lette was beautifully printed by Giolito who used his exquisite set of initial woodblock letters throughout, with scenes of sporting and other outdoor activities. The collection of letters is also noteworthy because it includes Tolomei's discussion on typography and Trissino's proposal to add new letters the alphabet. (Trissino was, incidently, the patron and tudor of Palladio. ) This is a fine copy of the book with a few marginal notes in a contemporary Italian hand. The pagination, two hundred and thiry-two numbered leaves (the final one misnumbered 234) followed by six unnumbered leaves, conforms to the copy at Harvard as described by Ruth Mortimer.

Each of the fine Holbein woodcuts, four of the Creation and Fall of Man, followed by ninety illustrating Bible history, is accompanied by Latin text and a French quatrain by Gilles Corrozet. Holbein’s remarkable woodcuts exerted great influence on later bible illustration. "Regarded as illustrations to the books of the Old Testament, these woodcuts are in all ways admirable…[Holbein] has concentrated his skill…upon the faithful and accurate telling of these sacred stories …and he does this with a perfect understanding of their strong dramatic power and their equally strong human interest…[Holbein] is revealed in them as a teller of stories of the first rank, with the power of seizing the most dramatic moment of each incident he depicts with unfailing instinct, and then re … [Click Below for Full Description]
