Der aus Brüx (Most) in Böhmen stammende Kaufmann und Humanist Dernschwam de Hradiczin (1494-1568) ist heute vor allem durch das Tagebuch seiner Orientreise bekannt. Von seiner bedeutenden Büchersammlung wurden 651 Bände im Jahr 1568 von der kaiserlichen Bibliothek in Wien übernommen. - "Dernschwam hat in Leipzig, Wien und Rom studiert. Er gehörte zu dem Wiener Humanistenkreis im Gefolge Balbins. Als Prinzenerzieher in Budapest und Preßburg kam er mit Hans und Georg Thurzo und Jakob Fugger in Verbindung und trat vermutlich schon 1518 in Thurzos Kupferbergbau in Neusohl (Slowakei, Banska Bystrica) ein. Seit seinem erfolgreichen Eingreifen bei dem Budapester Aufstand gegen die Fugger-Faktorei 1525 übernahm er die vom König an die Fugger verpachteten Kupfergruben als leitender Faktor in Neusohl bis zur Auflösung des Vertrages 1546. Er bereiste wiederholt Ungarn und zeichnete, neben seiner handelspolitischen Tätigkeit, auch römische Inschriften auf. 1549 schied er aus den Fuggerschen Diensten, blieb aber in der Slowakei (Oberungarn) und von da aus mit den deutschen Humanisten bis an den Rhein in Briefwechsel und Büchertausch. Noch im Alter von 59 Jahren schloß er sich aus freiem Willen der kaiserlichen Gesandtschaft zum türkischen Sultan an und hat über diese mehr als 2jährige Reise ein Tagebuch handschriftlich hinterlassen, dessen Bedeutung wegen der darin enthaltenen wirtschafts- und kulturpolitischen Beobachtungen zu … [Click Below for Full Description]

Richard Tottell, London, 1569. PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN FIRST EDITION, folio., ff (xvi) 444. Roman letter, index in italic, very large historiated initial repeated, others white on black. Uniform age yellowing, autograph of C O'Dunne at head of t-p (remounted at gutter as a little short), C19 bibl. notes along inner margin, on fly and versos and last. Armorial bookplates of O'Dunne and John Foster of Lincoln's Inn (C18) on pastedown and Ralph Barnes on fly. A good copy in full modern calf antique, central arabesques to covers. Divided into five books, each subdivided into chapters with subheadings whose contents are listed in detail in the extensive index in order of appearance, Bracton's 'De Legibus', completed in the 1250s, occupies a unique position in the history of the common law. It is the first attempt to treat the whole extent of English law in a manner both systematic and practical, it constitutes the first modern English law book and it is the outstanding legal work of any English writer of the Middle Ages. Bracton's encyclopaedic work was essentially practical, designed for judges and lawyers dealing with the cases which arose on a daily basis throughout the kingdom - he cites some four hundred and fifty of them in support of the principles which he enunciates in the clearest and most reliable manner. An ecclesiastic as well as for a quarter of a century one of the first professional judges, he has sometimes been accused of Romanising English law but more accurately he systematised the results which a series of clerical judges, familiar with both the civil an … [Click Below for Full Description]

Among the flowers he describes are the rose, violet, lily, marguerite, marigold, amaranth, iris, narcissus, anemone and carnation and sweet-smelling herbs such as thyme, marjoram, lavender and lavender cotton. In the second edition of this work, which was published in 1569, Dodoens included descriptions of the tulip (p. 107), the 'Flos africanus' or tagetes (p. 62), and the 'Chrysanthemum perunianum' or sunflower (pp. 305-6), which, as the auhor explained, is crowned with flowers of 'exceptional size' and is native to 'Peru and other American regions''' (Lucia Tongiorgi Tomasi, An Oak Spring Flora, p. 156).//Rembert Dodoens (1517-1585), Flemish physician and botanist, was one of the three great Flemish bot … [Click Below for Full Description]

Estienne Paris 1569. In-8, (18 feuillets), 171 pages Plein maroquin poli cerise, double filet droit d'encadrement, filets droits sur les coupes, large roulette intérieure ; toutes tranches dorées. Reliure du milieu du XIXème siècle signée Allo. Très bel exemplaire de la seconde édition, reliée par Allo, actif à Paris au milieu du XIXème siècle, (la première, sans date, est de Genève, 1565) d'un des très grands textes de la Renaissance française. Dans sa dédicace à Henry de Mesmes, Henri Estienne précéde les questions sur les raisons qui le poussent à écrire une apologie, ou mieux une célébration de la langue française -en français (c'est son premier ouvrage dans cette langue) : ". je vous oy desia (.) demander quelle nouvelle humeur m'aura saisi . que de me faire rompre compagnie tant à la bande des auteurs Grecs qu'à celle des Latins (avec lesquelles de père en fils notre maison a eu accointance) pour m'insinuer en la bonne grâce de notre langage françois." Les raisons sont multiples -et l'auteur les expose sans fausse pudeur ni affectation (la sincérité et la simplicité de son ton préfigurent la manière de Montaigne). Il vient de perdre sa femme, et souffre pour la troisième fois "d'une sorte de maladie dont les médecins n'ont fait aucune mention : c'est d'un degoustement de mes actions accoutumées qui m'a contraint de chercher appetit en de nouvelles, tout ainsi que sont ceux qui sont dégoûtés des viandes ordinaires". D'autre part, la préparation de son magistral Thesaurus Graecae Linguae (qui sera publié en 1572) l'a entraîné dans de telles dépenses que "d'une part la p … [Click Below for Full Description]

Nuovamente tradotte per Lodov. Domenichi et altri, et diligentemente confrontate co' testi greci per Lionardo Ghini.Vinegia, Gabr. Giolito de' Ferrari, 1569 e 1568. 2 vol. in-4, pp. (88), 860; (48), 470, (2); legatura settecentesca m. perg. e ang., tassello in pelle con tit. oro ai dorsi. Impresa tipogr. sui titoli ed altra ripetuta in fine, testatine, iniz. e fregi silogr., testo in car. corsivo, note a stampa nei margini. Precedono la dedica al Duca di Urbino Guidubaldo Della Rovere e la Vita di Plutarco, entrambe di T. Porcacchi, e copiosi indici. "E' questa la stampa definitiva del Plutarco del Domenichi, contenendo le sue ultime correzioni, ed essendo stata, dopo la sua morte, riveduta sul testo greco dal Ghini. Perciò fu sempre preferita alle edizioni antecedenti del Giolito." (Bongi). Plutarco di Cheronea (46-120 d.C.), facendo propria un'idea già attuata da altri scrittori antichi, narra le vite di 23 grandi personaggi greci contrapponendole ognuna a quella di un Romano; da pagina 403 del secondo vol. seguono le vite di altri 6 personaggi (Omero, Evagora, Pomponio Attico, Platone, Aristotele e Carlo Magno) desunte da vari altri autori. Bongi ci avverte che "se ne trovano copie, che, tanto nel frontespizio della prima quanto della seconda parte, hanno gli anni 1567, 1568, 1569 e talvolta l'anno dell'una non corrisponde a quello dell'altra". Buon esempl. marginoso (con qualche brunitura e d'umido più evidenti all'inizio del I vol.). Bongi, Annali Giolito, II, 218-9. [Attributes: Hard Cover]
