Collectanea Adagiorum Veterum.

15106221Hardcover. Fine. 4to. Bound in 20th-century 1/4-vellum over marbled boards. Strasbourg: Matthias Schürer July 1510. Second Strasbourg edition of Erasmus heavily annotated collection of Greek and Latin proverbs. Printed in Roman and Greek types. This is the original version containing 818 adages which is considerably shorter than the later expanded versions published under the title Adagiorum chiliades. Adams E-420; Bezzel Erasmusdrucke 50; Van der Haeghen Bibliotheca Erasmiana p.25-6; Bibl. Belgica II 276: no. E.61; Muller Strasbourg II p. 179 no. 45. The Adagia could only have been possible in the new world of European education in which careful attention to a broader range of classical texts produced a much fuller picture of the literature of antiquity. Its impact has been long lasting. Such popular expressions such as one step at a time between a rock and a hard place break the ice an iron in the fire looking a gift horse in the mouth and many other sayings can trace their origin to the Adagia. The printer Matthias Schürer published 15 works by Erasmus in over 70 editions. It is interesting to note that his relationship with Erasmus began with a rather rough start. In 1509 the year Schürer completed his apprenticeship and opened his own print shop he struck an unauthorized edition of Erasmuss Adagia purloined from the first edition of 1500. In spite of this commercial indiscretion Erasmus favored Schürer with a warm supportive and lasting friendship. The dedicatee of this celebrated work William Blount 4th Baron Mountjoy of Barton Blount Derbyshire was a wealthy English courtier and scholar. A pupil of Erasmus he called him inter nobiles doctissimus The most learned amongst the nobles. Having served since 1512 as Chamberlain to Queen Catherine of Aragon it fell to him to announce to her the intention of Henry VIII to divorce her. Boards slightly rubbed; signatures D-K with a small wormhole to outer margin without loss of text; some slight browning and soiling to some pages; a few leaves with faded manuscript marginalia in a neat 16th-century hand; index leaves with light water staining to upper portion; o/w a very nice unrestored wide-margined example of this rare early edition.

15402712Cologne:: Ex officina Ioannis Gymnici 1540. RARE COLOGNE EDITION. Folio: . 31.2 x 20 cm. . 88 3-874 1 pp. A-d6 e8 f-g6 A-Z6 Aa-Zz6 Aaa-Zzz6 Aaaa-Dddd6 last leaf is blank. A very fine copy bound in contemporary pigskin over beveled wooden boards tooled in blind. The clasps lacking some scuffing and soiling to lower board otherwise a very nice binding. Internally a beautiful copy with the lightest of occasional soiling. Gyminusâ€™ fine hippocamp device appears on the title. A very rare Cologne edition of Erasmusâ€™ beloved and extraordinarily influential â€œAdagesâ€ first conceived as a collection of proverbial sayings drawn from the Latin authors of antiquity elucidated for the use of those who aspired to write an elegant Latin style. In its first incarnation the â€œAdagiaâ€ consisted of about eight hundred proverbs. The present version Erasmus' "Adagia Chiliades" â€œThousands of Adagesâ€ is more than just a vastly expanded edition of that first enterprise: "A glance at its composition reveals that the â€˜Adagia Chiliadesâ€™ was in fact -as well as in name- a new book and that Greek scholarship was largely responsible for the difference. Instead of 818 adages there were 3260. Of those about four-fifths were either new or substantially altered in form. And 2734 contained Greek passages of two to six lines or more in length.â€Renaissance Humanism vol. 2 pages 232-233. â€œIn the dedication Erasmus pointed out the profit an author may derive both in ornamenting his style and in strengthening his argumentation from having at his disposal a good supply of sentences hallowed by their antiquity. He proposes to offer such a help to his readers. What he actually gave was much more. He familiarized a much wider circle than the earlier humanists had reached with the spirit of antiquity. â€œPrior to the â€˜Adagesâ€™ the humanists had to some extent monopolized the treasures of classic culture in order to parade their knowledge of which the multitude remained destitute and so to become strange prodigies of learning and elegance. With his irresistible need of teaching and his sincere love for humanity and its general culture Erasmus introduced the classic spirit in so far as it could be reflected in the soul of a sixteenth-century Christian among the people. Erasmus made current the classic spirit. Humanism ceased to be the exclusive privilege of a few. According to Beatus Rhenanus he had been reproached by some humanists when about to publish the 'Adagia' for divulging the mysteries of their craft. But he desired that the book of antiquity should be open to all." Huizinga p. 39-40 Van der Haeghen I 4; Bezzel 83; VD16 E 1944 Ex officina Ioannis Gymnici, unknown books

Hyperaspistes diatribae adversus Servum Arbitrium Martini Lutheri . ab autore recognitus.

1526ABC_49737Basel: Johann Froben 1526. Modern calf with the author title and year of publication lettered in gold on the spine. Small 8vo. With a woodcut printer's device on the title page and final leaf and 2 decorated woodcut initials. First revised edition of Erasmus' response to Martin Luther which is part of their famous theological debate that took place in the 1520s. Erasmus received Luther's work in February 1526. The Hyperaspistes is his first reply to it which he composed within a few days in March 1526. The present edition revised by Erasmus himself and published in July of the same year supplies a more correct text of this famous refutation.The Hyperaspistes first published in March 1526 deals with the question of free will and was written in response to Luthers De servo arbitrio On enslaved willl 1525 which in turn was written in reply to Erasmuss De libero arbitrio On free will 1524. Luther argued that humans could not achieve salvation through good deeds as they could not choose between good and evil and so could only be redeemed through the will of God. Erasmus on the other hand believed that each individual had the freedom to accept Gods grace and turn towards a Christian life and salvation could be reached through good deeds. The confrontation between Erasmus and Luther was a duel of major importance for Europe in the first half of the 16th century as two visions of man history and faith clashed.The second part of the Hyperaspistes appeared in September 1527 continuing the exegetical controversy with Luther. The present edition however was published before the second part was written.With near- contemporary annotations in the margins of some of the leaves. The work is lightly browned and foxed throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Adams E-675; Bezzel 1117; BM STC German p. 281; Erasmus Online 2230; USTC 664562; Vander Haeghen I 110; VD16 E 3029; cf. De Reuck 236 other issue.

De ratione studii ac legendi interpretandique auctores libellus aureus. Officium discipulorum ex Quintiliano. Qui primo legendi ex eodem. Erasmi concio de puero Iesu in schola coletica Londini instituta pronuncianda. Eiusdem expostulatio Iesu ad mortales. Eiusdem carmina scholaria.

1516ABC_49694Colophon Strasbourg: Matthias Schürer 1516. Modern brown pigskin with a blind-tooled single fillet frame on both boards gold-tooled turn-ins red edges in a beige paperboard slipcase. 4to. With a woodcut decorated title frame and 3 woodcut decorated initials. Early edition of Erasmus seminal educational treatise De ratione studii here presented alongside several other influential pedagogical and devotional texts. It further includes: Officium discipulorum ex Quintiliano The duties of students according to Quintilian including a section on the first stages of learning to read also derived from Quintilian a sermon on the child Jesus by Erasmus intended for delivery at the Colet School in London a lament of Jesus addressed to mankind and a collection of school poems.The opening dedication addressed to Peter Viterius a professor of liberal arts sets the tone for this work: Erasmus praises his friends discernment and judgment in matters of education using vivid comparisons drawn from military strategy and classical mythology to underscore the importance of order and method in learning. Without it he argues even the most gifted minds may falter. Of particular note is Erasmus endorsement of an instructional technique that became central to Renaissance humanist pedagogy: the use of structured annotation. In De ratione studii he recommends that students classify selected passages under thematic headings a mnemonic device that aids both retention and retrieval. This principle would go on to shape the methods of early modern teaching and note-taking. It also reflects Erasmus' broader educational reforms where rhetoric and moral philosophy intersect. His engagement with progymnasmata preliminary rhetorical exercises especially those of Aphthonius favoured for their clear organisation into theory and examples demonstrates his commitment to practical and accessible instruction for young learners.With some contemporary and later underlining and annotations in red and brown ink mainly consisting of corrections additions to the text and markings of significant passages. Two minor worm holes througout barely affecting the text. The gutters between leaves V-VI; VII-VIII; XX-XXI; and after leaf XXIII have been reinforced in the gutter with linen tape slightly browned throughout.

In novum testamentum Annotationes ab ipso autore iam quartum recognitae. auctario neuti poenitendo locupletataes.

152733077-1245Basel Joh. Froben Febr. 1527. Half-title with woodcut printer's device title-page within woodcut architectural border 2nd title-page fol. 1v. with different figured woodcut border different printer's device on last leaf verso and at the end numerous large and small figured woodcut initials in the text by Urs Graf Ambrosius Holbein and Hans Frank. 4 leaves 710 1 pp.; 28 leaves index. Folio. 17th century calf back gilt joints and foot of spine somewhat restored. Old ms. name on title. Basel Joh. Froben Febr. 1527. An important document of the humanistic spirit and remarkably beautifully printed with outstanding book decoration during Erasmus' lifetime. In the early years of the 16th century the demand for the original text of the New Testament began to mount and Erasmus 1467-1536 soon saw the necessity to translate the original Greek text into Latin. His first text-critical edition of the New Testament was one of the important foundations for Reformation theology. These present Erasmus commentaries were the first ferment of theological discussion at that time and are of great value. This is the 4th printing of the additional text notes contributed by Erasmus. They show mistakes that ancient theologians had made during their translation and revealed misunderstandings that had arisen due to the lack of knowledge of the text copyists. The first separate printing of this work was done by Froben at Basel in 1519 Bezzel 1212 as an indepent work. Through the years probably altogether a total of eight editions appeared as listed by most of the bibliographers. Numerous excerpts and vernacular versions circulated later.- Some little wormholes in the last 30 leaves some spots otherwise with wide margins and still a good copy. - VD 16 E 3096; Adams E-891; Vander Haeghen II 58; Bezzel 1215; Hieronymus Oberrhein.

Three sixteenth-century early Erasmus editions printed by Knobloch bound with Gebwiler’s first edition containing the earliest printed quotation from Hortus deliciarum. The third work in the volume Modus orandi Deum is generally regarded as the central text of Desiderius Erasmus’s teaching on prayer. The present edition dated December 1524 is the second following the first edition issued by Froben in October of the same year. The work circulated widely soon after publication: by the end of 1525 ten further impressions had appeared from presses across Europe.

The first work Ratio seu methodus October 1523 is likewise an early edition. Its editio princeps was published in Leuven by Thierry Martens in November 1518.

The second work Enchiridion militis Christiani Handbook of the Christian Knight is among Erasmus’ earliest writings first printed in 1503. The preliminaries include all four Latin poems by Thomas More which first appeared together in the Mainz edition of 1520. This edition is also rare: USTC records only five institutional copies VD16 E 2774; USTC 650176. The final work in the sammelband is Gravissimae sacrilegii by Jérôme Gebwiler. Gebwiler is recognized as the earliest scholar to describe Hortus deliciarum Bischoff 1973 p. 13 the illuminated encyclopedic manuscript compiled by Herrad of Landsberg twelfth-century abbess of Hohenburg Abbey Mont Sainte-Odile destroyed in 1870 during the siege of Strasbourg.

Paris Pierre Vidoux April 1529.4 IDEM. Purgatio adversus epistolam non sobriam Martini Luteri.Basel colophon: Hieronymus Froben and Nikolaus Episcopius April 1534. Together these four works capture the remarkable breadth of Erasmuss influence from his visionary humanist pedagogy to his forceful engagement in the theological controversies of the Reformation. Brought together in this volume they reflect both the moral urgency and intellectual sharpness that defined his contribution to early modern thought.Ad 1: First published in September 1529 De pueris statim ac liberaliter instituendis and De ratione instituendi discipulos represent Erasmus principal contribution to Renaissance pedagogy. He argues for the early and liberal education of children stressing mildness rather than severity moral formation alongside learning and the formative power of classical texts. Ad 2: An exceptionally rare edition of a polemic against the Louvain theologian Petrus Curtius in which Erasmus defends his humanist theology whilst ridiculing Curtius as a fighter without an adversary. First issued by Froben and Episcopius earlier that year with only that edition and the present Wechel edition extant; the text was not reprinted until the Opera omnia.Ad 3: A spirited reply to the accusations of Alberto Pio Prince of Carpi coupled with sharp extemporaneous notes against Edward Lee Beda. This double defence displays Erasmus wit and sharpness at the height of the Reformation debates. A very scarce edition; the editio princeps had appeared from Froben in March of the same year.Ad 4: An early witness to the high demand in 1534. Erasmus rejoinder to Luthers intemperate letter written in the wake of De servo arbitrio. Here Erasmus defends himself against charges of paganism whilst censuring Luthers furious and mendacious tone. After 1534 the text was no longer issued separately.With a manuscript owners inscription and a later purple stamp of the library of the Franciscan church and convent of Saint Clare in Kotor Montenegro on the title page of the ad 1.

Titles within ornamental woodcut border initials printer's device in colophon. 465 i.e. 495 1; 167 1; and 141 3 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First collected editions of these "Paraphrases" of the letters of Paul which were undertaken shortly after Erasmus's revolutionary edition of the Greek New Testament of 1516. As part of that monumental reconstruction of the New Testament Erasmus' intention was to "retell" the books of the New Testament in one uninterrupted voice without the clutter of textual commentary or critical interruption. It was a bold undertaking and in 1517 Erasmus began with the letters of Paul. They were first issued separately starting with Romans in 1517; and editions appeared in Louvain Thierry Martens Leipzig Valentin Schumann and Basel Johann Froben. The collected issues - such as the three which are bound together in this exquisite volume - began to be issued in Basel by Froben in 1519; and finally in 1521 Froben issued a collected edition of all of the Pauline letters. All of the lifetime editions both separate and collected are rare on the market: the last copy of any of the above collected Pauline paraphrases to appear at auction was in 1977.

The contents are in very good condition with a few pencil annotations and light soiling to the title page. With Badius' device of his print shop the â€œPraelum Ascensianumâ€ showing printers working a press on the title page. With large attractive crible initials and smaller charming historiated initials. Passages in Greek. A fine unsophisticated copy of this rare edition. From the personal library of Bob and Emily De Graaf. The rare 1524 Parisian â€œPraise of Follyâ€ printed by Erasmusâ€™ friend the scholar-printer Badius Ascensius who printed the first authorized edition in 1512. This edition contains all of the supplementary texts found in the Froben edition of 1516 including the dedicatory letter to Thomas More whose name Erasmus plays upon cleverly in the title of the work; and the letter to Martin Dorp in which Erasmus explains his motives for writing the â€œMoriaâ€: â€œMy aim in the â€˜Follyâ€™ was exactly the same as in my other works. Only the presentation was different. In the â€˜Enchiridionâ€™ I simply outlined the pattern of a Christian life. In my little book the â€˜Education of a Christian Princeâ€™ I offered plain advice on how to instruct a prince. In my â€˜Panegyricâ€™ I did the same under the veil of eulogy as I had done elsewhere explicitly. And in the â€˜Follyâ€™ I expressed the same ideas as in the â€˜Enchiridionâ€™ but in the form of a joke.â€ â€œThe â€˜Praise of Follyâ€™ is Erasmusâ€™ most famous and controversial workâ€¦ In Erasmusâ€™ lifetime the â€˜Moriaâ€™ was condemned in 1527 by the theologians of Paris for its attacks on faith and morality and again in 1533 by the Franciscans who found it full of heresies. The officials of the Sorbonne put it on the list of condemned books in 1542 and 1543 a list that was the basis of the Tridentine Index of 1564â€¦ â€œThe â€˜Moriaâ€™ may start as a learned joke to amuse a fellow humanist Thomas More but it moves into sharp criticism of contemporary mores and ends with a plea for a return to the Christianity of the Gospelsâ€¦ Erasmus writes in a Lucianic spirit of irreverent burlesque of the gods of classical mythology and light-hearted amusement at the irrationality of mankind. Folly argues that she is all that is natural youthful fecund and happy and that life would be intolerable if it were not ruled by civilized conventions which necessitate a degree of humbug and illusion. By contrast the Stoic ideal rational man is a â€˜kind of marble statue of a man devoid of sense and any sort of human feeling.â€™ She then shifts her viewpoint and lists the people who enjoy her benefits in so far as they try to preserve their illusions or are happy in their ignorance self-deception or self-love. She even adds superstitious piety to alchemy gambling and the nobilityâ€™s obsession with hunting and extravagant buildingâ€¦ â€œNext Erasmus starts to deliver a sharp and often bitter attack on all the victims of blind folly those who are deaf to the voice of true religion and lacking the gentler Christian virtues among whom are sycophants self-seekers money-makers pedants scholastics lawyers theologians superstitious worshippers of images and relics courtiers and kings worldly monks and irreligious pontiffs. This section culminates in a savage thrust at Pope Julius II the bellicose pope. The keen wit and ingenuity of the satire can be highly entertaining but there is no note of gaiety now. As Erasmus surveys the gulf between the Church and the â€˜true philosophy of Christâ€™ he moves into the final section where the alternative offered to barren scholasticism is the vision of reality taken from Plato and folly in the sense used by Saint Paul that of receptivity to the Christian message by the â€˜fool in Christ.â€™ All irony is dropped until the final short epilogue when Folly light-heartedly cuts short her â€˜hotch-potch of wordsâ€™; this is a direct and simply worded account of Erasmusâ€™ personal belief moving into an exposition of the Neoplatonist concept that the soulâ€™s ascent to beatitude ends in ecstasy a form of folly which is its supreme fulfillment.â€Betty Radice CWE Vol. 27 pp. 78 ff.

First collected editions of these "Paraphrases" of the letters of Paul which were undertaken shortly after Erasmus's revolutionary edition of the Greek New Testament of 1516. As part of that monumental reconstruction of the New Testament Erasmus' intention was to "retell" the books of the New Testament in one uninterrupted voice without the clutter of textual commentary or critical interruption. It was a bold undertaking and in 1517 Erasmus began with the letters of Paul. They were first issued separately starting with Romans in 1517; and editions appeared in Louvain Thierry Martens Leipzig Valentin Schumann and Basel Johann Froben. The collected issues - such as the three which are bound together in this exquisite volume - began to be issued in Basel by Froben in 1519; and finally in 1521 Froben issued a collected edition of all of the Pauline letters. All of the lifetime editions both separate and collected are rare on the market; this copy is in a well preserved contemporary pigskin binding first binding.

Cologne 1525.From the Campana collection with this 16th century handwritten ex-libris "Jacobi Campana et Amicorum 1530".In total three texts bound in one 8vo volume 148 x 100 mm of: I/ 184 ll. the last one blank; II/ 28 ll. ; III/ 1 title-page 148 pp. 10 pp. of index 1 bl.p. Numerous handwritten notes on the last 2 ll. of the 1st text. Bound in blind-stamped pigskin over wooden boards brass clasps. Contemporary binding.Collection in quite rare and very early editions of 3 important founding works of the Renaissance in philology and grammar by Erasmus and by his master Laurent Valla.Laurent Valla "the greatest humanist of the first half of the 15th century" was born in Rome around 1407. Guilio Vallese."Deeply convinced of the superiority of the antique culture renewed at the time in which he saw an incomparable ferment of regeneration Valla in order to defend it didn't hesitate to take the chance of being condemned in front of the Inquisition court. As other humanists of this time he claimed to be of the rationalist moral antique transmitted in the books of Wisdom when the Middle Ages had impoverished or lost the very meaning of it."Valla's most famous treatise "Des élégances de la langue latine"that had most contributed to his reputation in six books was quickly given in every school and kept on being a teaching text for the greatest part of the 16th century.Erasmus who professes many times in his letters a vivacious admiration for the author and for this particular work had made in his youth an extract for his personal use which was printed twice without his consent.Valla's observations are about the value of certain forms of words about the value of several difficult terms and even more about the synonymy of the Latin language. This work proves a great sagacity of researches and a great judgment. "King Alphonse who really liked this kind of studies didn't get tired of hearing Valla and let him sometimes battling with Antoine de Parlerme "inde ivae". He gave him a diploma enriched with a golden speech bubble in which he declared him illustrious in almost every science as well as in poetics."Are joined to this major work of Valla the two great founding texts it inspired to Erasmus:-The first one De Conscribendis epistolis in the second edition from Strasbourg of 1525. It was such a success that it was after this one reprinted 77 times in the 16th century alone.-The second one De Constructione octo partium orationis libellus printed for the first time in 1514 is here in the edition printed on August 11th 1523 at Sigismon Grim. It was followed by 61 editions in the 16th century alone.A magnificent copy with wide margins preserved in its first blind-stamped binding; the clasps and ties are intact.It comes from the collections Jacob Campana and Gaspar Campana and bears these two handwritten ex-libris "Jacobi Campanae et Amicorum 1530" and "Gaspari Campanae et Amicorum".The Campanas illustrious Neapolitan family counted César Campana among their members a fine erudite from the 16th century.FRANCAISErasme et son maître Laurent Valla : trois uvres fondatrices de la Renaissanceconservées dans leur première reliure estampée à froid.Strasbourg 1523 1525.

Reliure de l'époque.148 x 100 mm.Réunion en éditions fort rares et très précoces de trois grands textes fondateurs de la Renaissance en philologie et grammaire d'Erasme et de son maître Laurent Valla.Laurent Valla " le plus grand humaniste de la première moitié du XVe siècle " naquit à Rome vers 1407. Guilio Vallese." Profondément convaincu de la supériorité de la culture antique alors renaissante dans laquelle il voyait un ferment incomparable de régénération Valla pour la défendre n'hésita pas à courir le risque d'une condamnation devant le tribunal de l'Inquisition. Comme d'autres humanistes de ce temps il se réclamait de l'antique morale rationaliste transmise dans les livres de la Sagesse dont le Moyen Age avait appauvri ou perdu la signification même. "Le traité le plus célèbre de Valla qui avait le plus contribué à sa réputation" Des élégances de la langue latine " en six livres se répandit rapidement dans toutes les écoles et continua de faire texte d'enseignement pendant la plus grande partie du XVIe siècle.Erasme qui professe en beaucoup d'endroits de ses lettres une vive admiration pour l'auteur et pour cet ouvrage en particulier en avait fait dans sa jeunesse un extrait pour son usage qui fut imprimé deux fois sans son consentement.Les observations de Valla portent sur la valeur de certaines formes de mots sur celle de plusieurs termes difficiles et plus encore sur les synonymies de la langue latine. Ce travail atteste une grande sagacité de recherches et un rare discernement. " Le roi Alphonse auquel ce genre d'études plaisait singulièrement ne se lassait pas d'entendre Valla et le mettait quelquefois aux prises avec Antoine de Parlerme " inde ivae ". Il lui donna un diplôme enrichi d'une bulle d'or dans laquelle il le déclarait illustre en presque toutes les sciences ainsi qu'en la poétique. "Sont joints à cette uvre phare de Valla les deux grands textes fondateurs qu'elle inspire à Erasme :-Le premier De Conscribendis epistolis dans la seconde édition strasbourgeoise de 1525. Son succès fut tel qu'elle fut après celle-ci réimprimée 77 fois pour le seul XVIe siècle.-Le second texte De Constructione octo partium orationis libellus imprimé pour la première fois en 1514 est ici dans l'édition achevée d'imprimer le 11 août 1523 chez Sigismon Grim. Elle fut suivie de 61 éditions pour le seul XVIe siècle.Magnifique exemplaire à belles marges conservé dans sa première reliure estampée à froid dont les fermoirs et les attaches sont conservés intacts.Il provient des bibliothèques Jacob Campana et Gaspar Campana et porte ces deux ex-libris manuscrits " Jacobi Campanae et Amicorum 1530 " et " Gaspari Campanae et Amicorum ".Les Campana illustre famille napolitaine comptèrent parmi leurs membres César Campana fin lettré du XVIe siècle.

The fourth of six lifetime editions by Erasmus a great leap forward from the previous edition adding nearly 100 pages to the Third edition of 1522. First released in 1516 alongside his revised Greek Text and Latin translation of the New Testament the Annotationes are a philological tour de force examining in elaborate detail the differences between the ancient Greek text and the Vulgate in the process demonstrating the need for a new Latin translation namely his own. In the process Erasmus was dangerously frank in his discussion of Church abuses and departures from the teaching of Scripture showing himself 'An unprecedentedly formidable critic of contemporary theological and religious practice' McConicum Oxford Encyclopedia of the Reformation. The single greatest scholarly accomplishment of the renaissance was Erasmus's Annotations on the New Testament. Begun in 1516 and revised three times in his lifetime this second revision of 1527 was the greatest expansion of the work more than doubling its size from the first edition. Here the complete force of his philological powers is on full display boring away centuries of accreted dogma and ignorance that had obscured the text. "Without the notes Erasmus said the texts of the Scripture were 'naked and defenceless' open to criticism by uncomprehending readers and corruption by careless printers. The Annotations represent not only Erasmus' defence of the New Testament against such abuses but also a reflection of his own philosophy objectives and working methods. In establishing the text and defending it against his opponents Erasmus drew on manuscript sources classical literature patristic writings scholastic exegesis and the work of his immediate forerunners Valla and Lefevre. He did not hesitate to point out the errors of illustrious writers like Jerome and established medieval authorities like Peter Lombard. In general he was appreciative of the early church Fathers and contemptuous of medieval commentators. Rummel Erika. Erasmus' Annotations on the New Testament : From Philologist to Theologian. In many cases the Annotations serve to justify the most controversial renderings in his translation and defend himself against heresy charges. The most notable instance is his translation of the Greek metanoiete in Matt 3 note 1 and Acts 19 note 8. which Jerome had translated as "do penance" a rendering which shored up the Church's sacramental doctrine of a private secret confession made only to a priest. While Erasmus maintained that he himself practiced taught and supported the status quo penitential rite he did not find any grounding in Scripture where he insisted metanoiete referred to a change of mind not penitential confession and that anyway that instances of confession in Scripture were uniformly public and oral.

"Calvin's 'Institution of the Christian Religion' was the first systematic statement of a Reformed Church.

First published in Basel in 1536 the "Institutio was much revised taking its final form in 1559" PMM. Calvin understood the importance of vernacular translations in the transmission of ideas made possible by the printing press and prepared a French edition in 1541. This fourth edition follows closely and corrects the third edition printed in 1543. All early editions are uncommon. Calvin 1509-64 drew upon St. Augustine and Luther as well as upon classical sources including Plato and Seneca; his work addressed theological issues and also notably the relations between ecclesiastical and civil government.

De contemptu mundi epistola.

1523ABC_50124Antwerp: Michiel Hillen van Hoogstraten 1523. Later vellum with the manuscript title and year of publication on the spine red sprinkled edges. 8vo. With a decorative woodcut border on the title page and 2 decorated woodcut initials. Very rare early edition of Erasmus first written work a letter in praise of monastic life which was only published later in his career. Erasmus wrote it in 1488 or 1489 when he was 20 years old at the request of Theodoricus of Haarlem a fellow canon at the Augustine monastery at Steyn in order to persuade his nephew to join the order. It circulated in manuscript form for many years and was likely used to entice prospective candidates to enter the order of Canons Regular of St. Augustine.The work is divided into three parts: the first seven chapters focus on the evils of this world; chapter eight through eleven on the pleasures of the religious life; and chapter twelve on the ultimate choice between the material world or the religious state. This final chapter appears to counteract the rest of the work as it advises Theodoricus' nephew to carefully consider whether he truly wanted to enter a religious order since being a Christian is enough in itself. As such it has been suggested that Erasmus rewrote the text before its publication adding the 12th chapter but as he apologises for his adolescent writing style in the preface the work was likely mostly unedited.The first edition was published in Louvain in 1521 more than 30 years after it was written. The present edition is the first by Michiel Hillen van Hoogstraten and one of four printed in 1523. It is exceptionally rare on both the market and in institutions as only four copies have been recorded in libraries and we have not been able to find any others in sales records of the past century.The vellum is slightly soiled. The work is slightly browned throughout.

Adagiorum ad studiosae juventutis utilitatem ex Erasmicis Chiliadibus excerptorum epitome

15233722Paris: apud Simon de Colines 1523. First edition. Contemporary French blind-stamped calf over wooden boards panelled with intersecting fillets and lozenge tools; remains of clasps present metal attachments preserved; spine with raised bands. Wide-margined and notably clean throughout. Early manuscript moral sonnet signed "Frater Hugo Thubert" on the front flyleaf and a biblical motto "Si quis vult post me venire." in a seemingly different sixteenth-century hand on the rear flyleaf. With a few early marginal annotations in a sixteenth-century hand on ff. 39 and 253 and f. 9 ruled with brown-ink frames. Leather somewhat worn including a damaged area on the front panel and some loss at the lower corners with surface abrasions and light cracking along the joints; spine rubbed at head and foot. A complete unsophisticated copy in its original binding retaining notable early reader's marks; overall in very good condition. First edition. Contemporary French blind-stamped calf over wooden boards panelled with intersecting fillets and lozenge tools; remains of clasps present metal attachments preserved; spine with raised bands. ff. 373 22. A rare example of early educational use of Erasmus's Adagia in its contemporary French leather binding and preserved with a handwritten French moral sonnet by its sixteenth-century owner Hugues Thubert. First edition of Jean Brouchier's pedagogical epitome of Erasmus's Adagia printed by Simon de Colines in the early years of his Paris press. Though derived entirely from Erasmus's celebrated Chiliades the structure and didactic programme are Brouchier's: an abridged sequence of selected adages arranged for the studiosa iuventus intended to make the moral historical and rhetorical substance of the Adagia usable in the Latin classroom at an elementary stage. Brouchier's dedicatory epistle explains the rationale behind the epitome: while the Adagia had become essential reading for humanist education their full scope far exceeded what younger students could manage. His selection extracts the most serviceable sententiae supplying a compact repertory suited to memorization written exercises and introductory rhetorical training. The epitome reflects early humanist classroom practice when teachers adopted shorter selections to provide beginners with a practical corpus for variation and elementary composition while still introducing Erasmus's ethical and stylistic programme. A dedicatory letter to the magistrates of Florence precedes the text outlining Brouchier's aims and directing readers to Erasmus for fuller commentary. The work aligns with Colines's broader programme of humanist educational printing which equipped collèges and monastic schools with clear reliable editions of classical and contemporary authors. Colines's architectural title border clean roman types and spacious mise-en-page underscore the book's intended function as a school text designed for legibility and daily use. As an adaptation of one of Erasmus's most influential works Brouchier's Epitome documents an early stage in the mediation condensation and classroom transmission of the Adagia illustrating the practical needs of humanist teaching in early sixteenth-century France. Brouchier's biography is largely undocumented; he is known only through a small group of humanist pedagogical editions issued in Paris between 1511 and 1534. Three of these-the present Epitome and the two editions of the Commentarii in Septem Sapientum Graeciae Apophthegmata-were printed by Simon de Colines placing Brouchier within the circle of authors associated with Colines's early humanist programme. This copy preserves an unpublished French moral sonnet in the hand of Hugues Thubert written on the front flyleaf and signed "Frater Hugo Thubert." The poem belongs to the broad and often fragmentary vernacular literary production of the sixteenth century when humanist education and the widespread use of printed and manuscript verse encouraged even non-professional writers to adopt classical forms for ethical reflection. Autograph poems of this type-especially those entered into the flyleaves of school and humanist books-are relatively uncommon and they offer intimate evidence of personal reading practices. Thubert's sonnet in fluent but regionally inflected French adapts the sonnet structure to a concise moral argument setting impurity and chastity in rhetorical opposition a mode familiar from contemporary humanist and devotional writing. An early owner of the present volume Hugues Hugo Thubert was a Benedictine of the Congregation of Chezal-Benoît listed in the 1529 matricule as a monk of Saint-Germain-des-Prés and later recorded as having left the order TELMA IRHT. He signs himself in this volume and appears again as owner of another book-Jean Grolier's former copy of Gaspar Bracellus's Ortus delitiarum Milan Minutianus 1515; Austin 357; Michon 24A-which he inscribed with his name and the date 1580 and which subsequently entered the abbey library of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. These traces collectively document a Paris-based sixteenth-century reader whose surviving books display consistent humanistic engagement.
