2010932697<p>Seattle WA: Ouroboros Press / Ars Obscura : "Printed after the 1617 edition at the sign of the Ouroboros" 2010. NEW / Limited to 75 copies only Hand-bound by Ars Obscura Bookbinding. From the Publisher see images - Full black leather handbound with gilt title and device raised spine bands marbled endsheets and silk bookmark. Aviary folding plate. Fine typography with emblematic ornaments. Limited to 75 copies only. Jocus Severus was originally published in 1617 by Count Michael Maier and is here rendered into the English tongue from the Latin text by the remarkably able translator Darius Klein. Like his work on Giordano Bruno's Cantus Circaeus this is the First English Translation. In addition to the new translation the Ouroboros Press edition of Jocus Severus distinguishes itself by employing new emblematic illustration work by Benjamin A. Vierling who in keeping with our publishing style has produced fine illustrative ornaments and a fold-out plate depicting the aviary creatures of the text. These graphic elements complement the typographical details with an effect befitting a piece of fine Renaissance book art. Michael Maier is well known in the historical milieu of alchemy due largely to his important work on alchemy and music Atalanta Fugiens yet his other works have remained obscure and unobtainable until now. An excellent biography of Maier can be found in the work of Hereward Tilton The Quest for the Phoenix: Spiritual Alchemy and Rosicrucianism in the Work of Count Michael Maier 1569-1622. In the foregoing work Tilton indicates the thrust of the Jocus Severus thus: The Jocus Severus takes the form of a court of judgment upon the bird of wisdom sacred to Pallas Athena the Owl in this instance embodying chemia as the highest science. The Owl stands accused of a number of misdemeanours by an assembly of squawking and cantankerous birds who represent the various critics of chemia. Council for the defense is the Hawk; presiding over the court is the Phoenix the symbol of the Work's perfection . . . . After facing her fellow birds accusations the Owl and her Art are eventually vindicated by the Hawk's expert defense and she is adjudged Queen of the Birds by the Phoenix".

Prologue by Salvador Galvan Infante. Introduction by Ricardo Leon Alanis. Facsimile of the 1766 edition. Limited to 2000 copies.<br /><br />Vasco de Quiroga born between 1470-78 - died March 14 1565 was the first bishop of Michoacan Mexico and one of the judges oidores in the second Audiencia that governed New Spain from January 10 1531 to April 16 1535. Coming from a background as a lawyer and a judge he was appointed to be a judge in the second Audiencia after the first Audiencias failure. As an oidor he took a strong interest in restoring order to the Michoacan area which had been ravaged by rebellions and unrest. He employed a strategy of congregating indigenous populations into congregated Hospital-towns called Republicas de Indios organized after principles derived from Thomas More's Utopia. The purpose of this policy was to make the dispersed indigenous populations easier to control and instruct in Christian values and lifestyles. He established two such hospitals: Santa Fe de Mexico close to the town of Tacuba in the Valley of Mexico and Santa Fe de la Laguna close to Patzcuaro Michoacan. Because of his reputation as a protector of the Indians Vasco de Quiroga is venerated as a saint in some communities in Michoacan to this day.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />A near fine copy in like jacket.

ST12778-0083Italy late 11th or early 12th century. 413 x 285 mm. 16 1/4 x 11 1/8". Double column 47 lines of text in a pleasing early gothic hand. <br/> One two-line initial "M" in red. With a few lines of marginal notes in a later 16th century hand. ◆Probably lacking a line or two at the head as well as half of one column scattered light stains with a few darker stains in one corner touching the text but still legible scattered small wormholes one half-inch hole affecting a few words of text and yet a remarkably clean leaf the remaining text entirely legible.<br/> <br/> The text here in a very good hand is on the death of Saint Martin of Tours. While it is more likely from a Lectionary with the reading for Martinmas November 11 it could be from a separate copy of Sulpicius. The fourth century founder of French monasticism Martin of Tours is celebrated as the Soloman of shawls. One of the most beloved episodes of his early life is a the tale that demonstrates the sensible limits of charity: instead of heedlessly surrendering his cloak to a shivering beggar he encounters he sagely divides it in two so that both he and the object of his benevolence will be warm. The script here has many lingering features of Carolingian minuscule and this fact plus the grand size of the leaf combine to give it very considerable antique beauty. unknown
