Sherry's work "is a mirror of one variation of rhetoric which came to be called the rhetoric of style. As a representative of this stylistic school.it carries forward the medieval concept that ornateness in communication is desirable; it suggests that figures of speech are tools for achieving this ornateness; it supplies examples of ornateness to be imitated in writing and speaking; it supports knowing the figures in order to understand both secular and religious writings; it proposes that clarity is found in the figures. In short the work assisted Englishmen to understand eloquence as well as to create it" Herbert W.

Illustrated with 12 engraved portraits. 8 373; 2 448 pp. 8vo. Later edition of this famous collection of humanist satirical letters illustrated with 12 full-page portraits of prominent humanists. A note in OCLC comments on the long running authorship debate: "Authorship of the Epistolae formerly attributed to Reuchlin Erasmus Hutten and others. More recent researches have made it almost certain that Crotus Rubeanus and Ulrich von Hutten were the main contributors. To Crotus are credited the first 41 letters: to Hutten the 7 letters added later to the original series and most of the 62 letters of the second series with the possible co-operation of a third person Hermann von dem Busche.

1518curtius<b>Erasmus Finds His Vacation Reading Deficient So He Prepares a New Critical Edition</b><b> <br /></b><br />Folio. 4 LXXXIX leaves; 10 124 pages. Late sixteenth century leather; light scuffing hinges cracked but cords holding tightly; insect damage to text block with loss of text throughout; margins in Orosius trimmed close affecting title image. First printing of Erasmus' critical edition of Quintus Curtius. This first century Roman biography of Alexander the Great was an early Renaissance bestseller with editions from at least a dozen printers throughout Europe by 1517. Erasmus brought it as reading material on a voyage to England in 1517 and finding the text incomplete and corrupt he prepared his own critical edition. This was first published by his friend Strasbourg printer Matthias Schürer in 1518. Erasmus' version proved so popular that five more printers had issued their own editions of his text by 1541; these in turn were reprinted a total of five more times by 1575. This first edition is scarce on the market with Rare Book Hub locating only one sale at auction since 1971 at PBA in 2008 for $2400. <br /><br /><b>Bound with</b>: Paulus Orosius <i>Adversvs paganos historiarvm libri septem</i>.

15256388Basel: Johannes Froben 1525. Very Good/Erasmus's edition of Pliny's Natural History conserving the notes from Ermolao Barbaro's edition of 1492 printed by Johannes Froben at the height of his powers. Froben's title page is effectively a billboard: "We give you the work of the Divine Pliny called History of the World more emaculate than any edition ever produced before starting with the annotations of erudite men first among them Ermolao Barbaro and then exemplary contributions by learned people which are still worth correcting with faith in the oldest codices from which we have restored many faults do difficult to find that no one no matter how learned could find them or had found them. We have nothing to envy. We have defeated all of our elders. And if someone now takes this prize from us we will not envy them but we will be grateful for the improvement of public education. Go reader and be fruitful. And by the way we added an index that lacks for nothing. Folio 37 cm; 18 leaves 671 143 pages. Woodcut printer's device the double-headed caduceus designed by Holbein on title page on verso of p. 671 on the title page of the index and on the final page.
