1544321627Wittenberg Germany: Veit Kreutzer 1544. Hardcover. Very Good. Wittenberg: Veit Kreutzer 1544 German edition of Melanchthon's Loci Communes first published in Latin in 1521 as "Loci communes or Loci communes rerum theologicarum seu hypotyposes theologicae" Latin for Common Places in Theology or Fundamental Doctrinal Themes. Very good. Pages of the text are numbered entirely in roman numerals to page CCCLIII. With an unnumbered register index of 23 pages. Beautiful contemporary stamped ivory vellum veneer boards with a set of elegant silver clips. No front endpaper. The copy bears an early bookplate "Ex bibliotheca Gust. Ad. Hauseri theol et philos. stud. Cl nr" inside the front board. Light pencil signatures from the 19th century trace the stewardship of Ole Lokensgaard 1854-1931 Granite Falls Minnesota who came to the US in 1857. The family was associated through his son Gerhard W. Lokensgard with St. Olaf College in Northfield. It has been held by the family through 3 generations. The Loci Communes evolved with the reform movement. This 1544 edition is translated by Justus Jonas into German based on Melanchthon's 1542 revision. Title in English: "The Heubtartike Christian Literature/ drawn together/ By Philippum Melanthon/ called in Latin/ Loci Communes Theologici. Germanized by Justum Jonam/Doctor/ and in the 1542nd year/ By Philip. Melanth. checked again and improved." The Loci Communes evolved with the movement. Philipp Melanchthon 1497 – 1560 was a German reformer a collaborator with Martin Luther and part of the Wittenberg team that established the foundation of the Protestant Reformation. Melanchthon was its first systematic theologian and an intellectual leader of the Lutheran Reformation who with Luther was a primary founder of Lutheranism. Loci Communes was Melanchthon's Magnum Opus. "Melanchthon points out that he wrote the Loci Communes to encourage people to bypass extra-biblical sources and go straight to scripture. He does not believe it makes sense to try to integrate philosophy with the interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. Melanchthon berates the scholastic methodology of dialectic. He discusses the skewing of scripture that those who employ such methodology foisted upon the interpretation of scripture". The colleagues that Luther assembled in Wittenberg’s theological faculty formed the nucleus of his team. This included Justus Jonas 1493 –1555 who served in addition to roles as advisor and legal expert as translator of the works of Luther and Melanchthon from Latin into German or German into Latin. In the 16th century intellectuals across Europe spoke Latin. To spread the Wittenberg message this process of translation and revision was essential to the maturing of the movement. The later editions were published from 1543-1559 with the final edition being published just one year before Melanchthon’s death in 1560. The 1560 edition is four times the size of the original 1521 edition. "The German text of the third generation remains close to the second generation of the Latin Loci; the text is a revision by Melanchthon of the translation of Jonas.He once confessed that he found the final revision of this German translation better than the Latin Loci CR 22 31/32." We believe that this 1544 Jonas translation may be the one to which Melanchthon refers. But that is a matter for further scholarly investigation. The simple beauty of the copy with its silver clasps is exceptional. Veit Kreutzer hardcover

154049324Paris: F. Gryphius 1540. Two parts in one volume 16mo in 8s. 199 1 blank; 136 16 indexff. "Novvm testamentum" in cartouche vignette at title-page along with Gryphius' griffin device Renouard 413; 90 three-quarter page including repeats and 15 smaller woodcut illustrations including repeats; 21 historiated initials and woodcut lettrines; cartouche vignettes with book titles; printed marginalia; half-title for the second part Epistles and the Book of Revelation. Text not divided into verses; occasional quotations in Greek. Later vellum over boards; manuscript title at the spine faded; speckled paper endleaves; edges stained red. Light dampstain at bottom margins extending up into text and gutter at the later leaves; small puncture at leaf 140 resulting in slight loss of text. A good complete copy of a very scarce illustrated New Testament with clean woodcut illustrations throughout.<br /> <br /> Collation: a-z8 &8 Aa8 A-T7 blank leaf 200; lacks final blank T8.<br /> <br /> Third Gryphius New Testament in 16mo format. Arranged in two parts with the Epistles and the Book of Revelation presented separately it reproduces the Vulgate text edited by Robert I Estienne for his Latin Bible edition of 1532. While some of the woodcuts appear in Gryphius' complete octavo Bible of 1541 this separate Testament is even more lavishly illustrated. Based upon Mortimer's description of the 1541 Bible we can ascertain that at least some of the Apocalypse woodcuts in the present volume are based on Holbein while most of the other illustrations whose blocks had been completed by 1539 "are relatively independent of earlier sets" Mortimer.<br /> <br /> An important shift in Bible illustration occured in the Netherlands in the late 1520s as printers began to focus on copiously illustrated small format editions of the New Testament to better explain the text and assist private devotion. The subtitle in our volume "cum ad ueritatem historiae tum ad uenustatem singulari artificio expressis" with the truth of history as well as beauty expressed by a singular artifice is clearly suggestive of this shift. Adopting this new format François Gryphius became the "first Paris printer to illustrate a Bible in the Renaissance style" Johnson quoted in Mortimer. These illustrations first appeared in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation in Gryphius' pocket New Testament edition of 1537 Novum Testamentum additis picturis in Acta Apost. et Apocalipsin quibus miracula et visiones exprimuntur The New Testament with added illustrations in the Acts of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation depicting miracles and visions. Subsequent editions would include an expanding suite of woodcuts and were published at Paris by Gryphius under the present title in 1539 1540 1541 and 1542; Antwerp editions appeared in 1542 and 1545. The suite of illustrations in the present work is identical in placement and inventory with the data cited by Mortimer for the 1541 edition 90 cuts by repetition of 58 blocks from the larger set and 15 cuts by repetition of 6 small blocks and confirmed by inspection of the digitized version of the 1541 edition at the Bibliothèque de la Ville de Lyon. The only notable differences in graphic materials between the two editions appears occasionally in the selection of woodcut initials; the later edition also has several more unset initials indicated by guide letters than appear in our 1540 edition. <br /> <br /> All editions are quite scarce with only a handful of copies of each surviving.<br /> <br /> Provenance and annotations: Old entries at paste-down and front endleaf of George Woodhouse with his note about prior provenance dated May 1875; E. Holwell noting "This curious edition published in A.D. 1540" References: Cf. Deleveau & Hillard Bibles imprimées Paris 1539 and 1542; Antwerp 1542; Le Long/Masch 2.3 1783 p.279 Paris ed. 1542; R.
