Just barely perceptible rubbing to joints and extremities one leaf with tiny burn hole affecting a couple of words intermittent minor foxing negligible ink spots here and there other trivial imperfections but an extremely attractive copy the text fresh and clean and the very well-preserved binding with lustrous leather and bright gilt.<br/> <br/> This is a remarkably pretty copy of an extremely influential but generically elusive work printed by a legendary press and bound by the founder of a celebrated French binding dynasty. First published in 1524 the "Colloquia" comprise 63 conversations originally written for Erasmus' students on varied and overlapping topics but these urbane meditations soon became widely read as they covered subjects that intrigued the important thinkers of the day. Their influence was so profound that it is not saying too much to claim that they helped to speed the Reformation. Although they are difficult to classify precisely one could categorize them as including in general terms exposure of ritualistic fallacies invective against corruption within the church examination of popular imposture deploring of contemporary personal sins practical advice for laymen and miscellaneous discussion of amusing topics. In specific terms the text takes on such controversial topics as the value of pilgrimage celibacy and abstinence from meat on Fridays and other prescribed days. Erasmus' "Colloquia" was frequently published by the Elzeviers once in French and a total of nine times in Latin. The text was universally adopted for school use up through the 18th century. Although our lovely little binding is unsigned Culot firmly identifies its tools as those used by Jean-Claude Bozerian 1762-1840. He was the elder of the Bozerian brothers François is referred to as "le jeune" and was active in Paris from 1795 to about 1810. He began his career in Lyon as an apprentice bookseller printer and bookbinder eventually deciding to focus on the latter craft. Marriage to the widow of binder Pierre Boulier allowed him to establish a binding workshop in Paris where he was joined by his brother. His bindings were soon much in demand by French bibliophiles who appreciated their superior materials tasteful design and flawless execution--all characteristics that are plainly evident in the present case.

Among the works reviewed by Locke for Jean Le Clerc the present title “indicated a new wave of interest in Erasmus†Mansfield. “Jean Richard 1615-1686 wanted to persuade the Roman Catholic Church that in persecuting the Jansenists it was as much in error as it had been when it denounced Erasmus. He also wanted to convince the English monarch that despite appearances to the contrary Erasmus had never adopted any stance outside the Catholic Church†van Herwaarden. The author surely intends the quotation from Cyprian at the verso of the title as a reference to both Erasmians and Jansenists: “This is always the devil’s work to destroy with lies the servants of God and defame their glorious name with false opinions†trans. Mansfield. Early modern reviews were mixed: Bayle considered it a “pity that the author. stopt at the first part of it†General Dictionary 5 1737 “Erasmus†85 note T. Burigny Vie d’Erasme Paris: 1758 judged it “. so badly done and so filled with invectives and declamations that it does not lead one to wish for the second†547; quoted in Mansfield 293n.<br /> <br /> In 1660 the French cleric Jean Richard was imprisoned by the archbishop of Rouen de Harlay a bitter opponent of Jansenism."During this personal crisis he published two works in defense of his Jansenist belief and behaviour. As we shall see there are grounds for believing that his Sentimens. was meant in part at least to achieve the same end. Nevertheless mysteries surround the work: it was published posthumously Richard died in 1686 having been prior of Beaulieu Saint-Avoie since 1673; what we have is the first part and we may only guess at how seriously the promise of a second part was intended. As it stands this is an ill-organized book repetitive with many digressions but filled with a naive enthusiasm and fascinating partly because of the evidences of a sound judgment about Erasmus partly because of the tantalizing but insoluble problem of the author’s aims. The avowed aim was proselytism. The book is dedicated -- on the eve of the Revolution of 1688 -- to James II of England a new Theodosius who is hazarding three kingdoms for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. May it help the English people to follow the king’s example in conversion to Catholicism by showing them the true character of Erasmus’ religion" Mansfield. References: Barbier 4:467. J. v.

16518563Deventer Johannes Colomp 1651. 'engraved titlepage 248 p. Contemporary cardboard Binding 12° spine is worn Rare fourth edition of the translation into Latin of Erasmus Alberus' Der Barfusser Monche Eulenspiegel und Alkoran a prose satire to which Martin Luther wrote the postscript. The first edition of the German original appeared in Wittenberg by Hans Luft in 1542 followed by the Latin translation in Frankfurt a year later. The second and third Latin edition were published resp. in 1560 and 1578. This parodic adaptation of the Liber conformitatum of the Franciscan Bartolommeo Rinonico or Albizzi of Pisa is written by Erasmus Alberus ca. 1500-1553 a German humanist reformer and poet who was born in the village of Bruchenbrücken near Frankfurt am Main. Although his father was a schoolmaster his early education was neglected. Ultimately in 1518 he found his way to the University of Wittenberg where he studied theology. He had the good fortune to attract the attention of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchthon and subsequently became one of Luther's most active helpers. Not only did he fight for the Protestant cause as a preacher and theologian but he was almost the only member of Luther's party who was able to confront the Roman Catholics with the weapon of literary satire. After Luther's death Alberus was for a time a deacon in Wittenberg he became involved however in the political conflicts of the time. In 1552 he was appointed Generalsuperintendent at Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg where he died on the 5th of May 1553. Deventer, Johannes Colomp unknown
