Folio (265 x 388 mm). 2 parts in one volume. 427, (21); 187, (1) pp. Titles within elaborate allegorical woodcut border signed by Jost Amman. Woodcut headpieces, initials and Feyerabend publisher's mark signed by Tobias Stimmer at end part I. Contemporary full vellum, remnants of four alum-tawed leather ties, spine with four raised bands, headbands in grey, white, and yellow. Stored in custom-made half morocco box. First edition of this collection of the leading histories of the Low Countries, edited by Feyerabend. Fore-edge painting by Cesare Vecellio, depicting a scholar seated at a desk overlooking a landscape with the title "ANNA/LES" below; top and tail edges decorated with abstract line designs. - A rare item from the celebrated library of Dr. Odorico Pillone and his father. Late in the 16th century, Odorico invited Vecellio (first cousin once removed of the master painter Titian, under whom he trained) to decorate a number of books in his library with fore-edge paintings, thereby establishing the earliest known private collection of such paintings. As was Vecellio's preferred style, the painting here is of a scholar, brightly dressed in red and a black hat, centered on the fore-edge and additionally visible on the closed edge. - The histories contained are by Jacques Meyer (Part I, Flanders), Adrian Baarland (II, Brabant), G. Geldenhouwer (II, Holland), Jacques Marchand (II, Flanders), and L. Guicciardini (II, in Latin); also, shorter texts by Philip Galle and G. Candidus on the then-current situation. - Corners insignificantly bumped and rubbed, some worming to edges and spine, hinges and endpapers (with chipping to head of spine). Binding shows some dampstaining and soiling. A few tears to flyleaves. Internally generally clean with occasional insignificant foxing and some dampstaining, chiefly confined to margins, as well as minor text block edgewear. Overall a very good example with the fore-edge painting a little worn but still bright. - Provenance: Odorico Pillone (1503-93); Casteldardo estate (ca. 17th-19th centuries); Bayolle of Venice (early 19th century); Paolo Maresio Bazolle (1874); Sir Thomas Brooke (1830-1908; his bookplate to front pastedown); Humphrey Brooke (early 20th century); Pierre Berès (ca. 1947; his bookplate to front pastedown); Jeff Weber Rare Books; Randall J.

4to. (4) ff. With the woodcut Papal arms on the title-page. Modern half vellum over marbled boards. One of two issues of this pamphlet in defence of Pope Julius II against the anti-papist "consilium" of the important jurist Filippo Decio (1454-1535), who had argued for the legitimacy of the second Council of Pisa. The jurist and abbot Angelus Anachorita Vallombrosa (1455-1530) authored a number of polemics, including several against Savonarola. - Year of printing supplied from the date of the preface ("X Kal. Dec. 1511" = 22 Nov. 1511); the copy in the Bavarian State Library (4 Conc. 81) is patently misdated "1509". Printer from A. Tinto, Gli annali tipografici di Eucario e Marcello Silber (1968). - Some brownstaining to title-page with old shelfmark in brown ink; date on verso annotated in sanguine. Very rare.

Folio (308 x 430 mm). (408) ff. (first and last leaf blank), bound without Baldus de Ubaldis's "Repertorium super Innocentio" and the following leaf containing table of contents. Gothic letter in double columns, large initials at the beginning of each book supplied in red and blue with penwork flourishing, smaller initials supplied alternately in red and blue, headline supplied in red and blue. Three coats of arms finely painted at foot of first page by a contemporary hand. Contemporary pigskin-backed wooden boards (clasps and catches missing), title in handsome gothic lettering along lower edge. First edition of the commentary of Innocent IV on the Decretals of Gregory IX (known as the Liber Extra), one of the most important collections of medieval canon law. A handsome copy in a contemporary binding. Innocent's commentary was completed ca. 1251 and was never superseded. Beautifully printed by Heinrich Eggestein of Strasbourg; "le plus beau livre que cet imprimeur ait produit" (fin-de-siècle catalogue note pasted to first blank). Like a handful of other copies, the present copy contains the Apparatus only and was bound without Baldus de Ubaldis's "Repertorium super Innocentio" (an index to Innocent's work) which, although a separate work, seems to have been intended to form part of the edition. - Several contemporary annotations, manicules and other markings; summary of contents supplied in upper outer corners of recto of each leaf in a contemporary hand. Binding insignificantly rubbed; professional remarginings to first blank leaf. Occasional light browning, some light dampstaining, a few small wormholes at beginning and end of volume, occasionally affecting a letter or two. Generally a very fresh, wide-margined and crisp copy (hailed in the catalogue note as "superbe exemplaire dans toutes ses marges, parfaitement propre et d'une fraîcheur étonnante, sans le moindre défaut"). - Provenance: 1) painted at the foot of the first page by an accomplished contemporary (German?) artist are the arms of Pope Innocent VIII (1484-92), flanked by two coats of arms, one resembling a printer's device, possibly signifying an intended gift by an unidentified German scholar to the Pope in the 1480s or early 1490s. 2) Late 16th century ownership of Konrad Fuchs von Ebenhofen zu Saldenburg, a Tyrolean nobleman who acquired the Bavarian demesne of Saldenburg in 1587 and died on 14 January 1614 (his inscription "Conradt Fuchs" under the arms and "Fuchs zu Saldenburg" on front pastedown). 3) Owned by the Marquis de Villoutreys in the later 19th century (bookplate of the Bibliothèque Du Plessis-Villoutreys on pastedown). The Villoutreys family occupied the castle of Bas-Plessis in Chaudron-en-Mauges (Maine-et-Loire) from 1666. The castle was largely destroyed by fire in 1794 during the French Revolution; the central neoclassical section was erected in 1845, and a wing added in 1875 to house the Marquis’s library. When restoration began in 1982, the castle’s library was transferred to the Université Catholique de l'Ouest, and then to the Bibliothéque des Archives Départementales du Maine-et-Loire. The present incunable left the Villoutreys' library for an unidentified private collection at some time prior to this transfer. 4) British private collection. HC *9191. Goff I-95. GW M12156.

Of the 15 woodcuts showing various degrees of relation, six are by Hans Baldung Grien, whose first works of woodcut book illustration these are. The new woodcut on leaf e2v ist not by Baldung, but by an imitator.

250 SS. Halblederband der Zeit mit aufkaschierter Originalillustration. 4to. Der Komponist trug sich im vorliegenden Exemplar am 11. Juni 1944 in Wien ein.

Nicht nur die Wiener Staatsoper ehrte den Tondichter, der zusammen mit Franz Schalk das Haus von 1919 bis 1924 geführt hatte, sondern auch die NS-Führung in Berlin, die ihm ein offizielles Glückwunschtelegramm hatte zukommen lassen, obwohl Strauss sich zu Beginn des Jahres mit einer regimekritischen Äußerung den Unmut derselben zugezogen hatte.

Dans le contexte du "Coup d'Etat" de Maupeou, qui donna lieu à une importante production de pamphlets clandestins et conduisit à une très grande campagne policière, une affaire de censure et un procès auxquels sont mêlés de nombreux acteurs de la mouvance janséniste, tel que l'avocat Le Paige ou Paul-Denis Méquignon et sa mère, Claude Bridel, tous deux imprimeurs.

16 pp. With an ornamental woodcut initial on the title page. Papered spine. Second edition of Sibutus's first published work, previously printed by Quentel in March 1505: a treatise on the art of memory. The humanist Sibutus (c. 1480-1528), probably from Tannroda in Thuringia, was a student of Conrad Celtis. Crowned poet laureate by Emperor Maximilian, he practised as a physician and taught rhetorics in Wittenberg, Rostock, Cologne, and Vienna. "This frequently cited and rarely discussed instruction by Sibutus contains within the space of 7½ pages so many obscure precepts, counter-productively mingled with verses by Virgil, Ovid, and others, that it must be quite incomprehensible to anyone unaccustomed with mnemonics. It is apparent that Sibutus employed a very difficult and roundabout method. So as to have no more than 36 mnemonic devices, he used the verse 'arma virumque cano' etc.; for each letter he would imagine a person whose name began with that letter etc. He does not explain how to avoid confusing these persons in case a particular letter occurs more than once" (cf. Aretin, Systematische Anleitung zur Theorie und Praxis der Mnemonik, Sulzbach 1810, p. 194ff.). More of a practitioner than a theorist, Sibutus was proficient in mnemotechnics himself: for Frederick, Elector of Saxony, he recited from memory 600 verses of his "Silvula in Albiorim", a poem praise of Wittenberg. The present volume includes two introductory poems by Johannes Murmellius and Johannes Cesarius, a dedicatory poem to the Lübeck jurist Heinrich Bucholt, as well as Sibutus's own "Carmen in vitam S. Annae". - Slight brownstaining throughout; insignificant waterstain to upper gutter. A single copy in the U.S. according to OCLC (Harvard Med. School). VD 16, S 6262. BM-STC German 812.
