Rare original edition of Lorenzo Gambaras Liber Rerum Sacrarum a collection of Latin religious poems in which he dissuades Christian poets from using pagan mythology in their work. Gambara was born in Brescia in 1506 but spent most of his life in Rome in service to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and Pope Gregory XIII where he had regular contact with many writers of the day. He himself was a prolific poet and translator of Greek lyric poetry perhaps better known for his work on the Navigation of Christopher Columbus 1581. Gambara died in 1596 at the age of 90. Each of Gambaras poems in the Liber Rerum Sacrarum feature saints or religious feasts which were dedicated to a prominent prelate starting with a brief argumentum or appeal and with an illustration adapted to the text. As pointed out in letters by Plantin the plates were made in Italy by an unknown engraver probably after the designs of the Roman painter Bernardino Passeri whose name figures on the title page and shipped to Antwerp. Rare copies located at Stanford Duke Newberry Library Brigham Young and the National Art Library in London and another on market. Christoph Plantin hardcover books

Lyon edition of Lorenzo Vallas linguistic work on the Latin language. This same year an edition appeared with Jodus Badius Ascensius and was printed in Paris with Simonem Colinaeum. The next year 1536 saw editions from the printers Giunta in Lyon and Fabricius in Cologne. Immensely popular as a textbook this was Vallas widely reprinted and influential work on Latin linguistics which went through at least 60 editions between 1471 and 1536. Lorenzo or Laurentius Valla from Piacenza was a scholar humanist and philosopher not unfamiliar with controversy. In his tumultuous career he was chosen by Pope Nicholas V to translate the classical texts of Herodotus and Thucydides into Latin. His masterwork is De lingvae latinae elegantia 1444 called a brilliant philological defense of classical Latin in which he contrasted the elegance of the ancient Romans works - especially those of Cicero and Quintilian - with the clumsiness of medieval and Church Latin Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia 6th ed. 2006. Vallas treatise was novel in it subjected the forms of Latin grammar and the rules of Latin style and rhetoric to a critical examination. His work was the basis for the Humanist movement to reform the style of Latin prose to a more classical and Ciceronian direction and on a scientific basis and away from the Christian Latin of the European Middle Ages. This was thought to be a major improvement in style and elegance in Latin usage. Sebastian Gryphius was a German bookseller-printer and humanist. Around 1520 he came to Lyon and settled there on behalf of a Venetian firm of booksellers. Initially Gryphius largely published works on law but was later known for classic works in humanism produced in elegant format. For an often reprinted title this particular edition is not common. <br/><br/> Seb. Gryphium hardcover books
