1520ABC_49888Colophon: Cologne: Servas Kruffter 1520. 19th-century marbled boards with a blue paper manuscript title label on the front board. 4to. With an elaborate woodcut border on the title page and a decorated woodcut initial. Rare early edition of an influential work by Desiderius Erasmus which is a call for reform of the Catholic Church. It uses the Ancient Greek figure Alcibiades ca. 450-404 BC and the mythical characters known as the Sileni as an allegory for looking beyond appearances in order to perceive someone's or the Church's true nature. Erasmus wrote the text as part of his compilation of proverbs the Adagia in particular for the revised 1515 edition where it became one of the most popular entries. It was then published by Froben as a separate work in 1517 with his scholia. The present edition is the fourth or fifth overall but the first by Servas Kruffter fl. ca. 1520-1538 and is of considerable scarcity with only five copies recorded in institutions and none in sales records. The Cologne printer Kruffter was repeatedly restricted by censorship and even put in jail several times. Only a comparatively small number of books from his limited production has survived.With the bookplate of the Oberherrlingen Library dated 1839 mounted on the verso of the front board together with two typed descriptions of the work. The boards are somewhat rubbed lacking most of the spine. The work is somewhat browned throughout with a water stain in the inner margin not affecting the text. Otherwise in good condition.l Bibl.

1517ABC_49731Colophon: Basel 1517. 4to. Johann Froben Late 19th-century or early 20th-century boards red edges. With 4 decorated woodcut initials and a woodcut printer's device at the end of each part. 2 parts in 1 volume. 42 ll. First separate edition of an influential work by Desiderius Erasmus which is a call for reform of the Catholic Church. It uses the Ancient Greek figure Alcibiades ca. 450-404 BC and the mythical characters known as the Sileni as an allegory for looking beyond appearances in order to perceive someone's or the Church's true nature. Erasmus wrote the text as part of his compilation of proverbs the Adagia in particular for the revised 1515 edition where it became one of the most popular entries. It was then published by Froben as a separate work in 1517 together with his scholia. The present copy also includes the Scarabeus a similar essay from the Adagia with scholia from Beatus Rhenanus. Although these two works are now rarely found together on the market the Scarabeus was clearly intended as the second part of the Sileni Alcibiades for the present edition as both the pagination and collation continue between the two works.The boards are slightly soiled. The work is slightly browned throughout with water stains in the margins of some of the leaves and numerous near contemporary academic annotations in the margins of the first part by at least 2 different hands. Otherwise in good condition.l Bibl.

168849228Cologne disguised; Paris or the Netherlands: Adrian Le Jeune 1688. First edition. Hardcover. Very good . Duodecimo. Collation: aster.12 2aster.6 A-R12 S4 = 226 leaves. 36 415 1 blankpp. Engraved frontispiece and headpiece; woodcut lettrines head- and tailpieces; printed side notes. Contemporary calf mildly worn at extremities; gilt tooled spine with raised bands gilt lettering piece; edges sprinkled in red. Old inscription cropped from top edge title; one leaf with clean marginal tear just extending into text else fine and crisp throughout.<br /> <br /> First edition of this defense of Jansenism via the celebrated scholar of Rotterdam. 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.
