With a large ornamental woodcut coat-of-arms of Charles V helmed mantled crowned and with 2 putti holding the order of the Golden Fleece on the title-page 11 woodcut initials with pictorial decoration 2 series plus 4 repeats. Set in 2 sizes of Venetian-style roman type with larger roman capitals and incidental italic with upright capitals in the Aldine style. 45 1 blank ll. One of the first two editions order uncertain in the original Latin this one published at Nuremberg of the assertion by the Reichstag the meeting of the Imperial Counts of the Holy Roman Empire in Regensburg of the Emperor Charles Vs rights to the Duchy of Gelre and the County of Zutphen as well as the rejection of the objections raised by Wilhelm Duke of Cleve and since 1538 also Duke of Gelre at Frankfurt in 1539. It was a loss for the Dukes of Gelre in their struggle against the Emperor Charles V who wanted to include Gelre in his empire. He actually succeeded in doing so in 1543 two years after the present publication. A short list of errata appears at the end.The first three editions of the present Assertio in the original Latin and a German translation all appeared by 1541. Although the present edition is undated the colophon of the 1541 Antwerp edition by Martinus Meranus Marten Vermeere explicitly notes that it follows Petris present Nuremberg edition ad exemplar Joannis Petrei Nurenbergae impressum which therefore cannot be later than 1541 it is usually ascribed to that year while the Cologne edition by Quentel is dated August 1541. The texts of the Cologne and the present Nuremberg editions show several differences and each has a list of errata at the end but the errata are completely different and neither edition incorporates the corrections from the other suggesting a degree of independence.

Early edition of the correspondence between Emperor Charles V and King Francis I illustrating the strained political situation in Europe during the years 1526-1527. Francis was captured by Charles' army in February 1525 and held captive until he signed the Treaty of Madrid in January 1526 in which he surrendered Italy Artois Flanders and Burgundy to Charles. However he broke the treaty upon his return to France. The present work contains nine documents. Together these were issued as political propaganda intended to counteract the indignation aroused in many parts of Europe when the imperial army invaded Italy and ransacked Rome May 6 1527. Included are inter alia the text of the "Foedus Clementinum" Francis I's refusal to approve the Treaty of Madrid and the imperial letter to the Roman cardinals of October 6 1526 demanding that they summon a general council even against the will of the Pope. Several editions of the work appeared in 1527 including translations into Dutch and French. The present copy comes from the library of Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun 1655-1716.Ad 2 contains two letters one from Pope Clement VII to Emperor Charles V written on the 23rd of June 1526 and the response of the latter written on the 17th of September of the same year. The pope had just entered into an alliance with Francis I against Charles and started the War of the League of Cognac 1526-1530 to drive him away from the Italian Peninsula. Together with ad 1 the present work provides an understanding of the complex political and religious tensions in Europe during the period.With a 17th-century ownership annotation on the title page of ads 1 and 2 "Fletcher".

1893236066London: Chiswick Press 1893. No. 11 of 13 copies printed on vellum there were also 88 copies printed on paper. Title with vignette numerous woodcut illustrations and large initial capitals. 1 vols. Folio 12-3/4 x 8-7/8 in.; 32.4 x 22.5 cm. Loose as issued in publisher's decorated board portfolio with maroon velvet straps in publisher's maroon morocco-backed clamshell box with printed label on upper cover; box worn a few rust marks on upper board. No. 11 of 13 copies printed on vellum there were also 88 copies printed on paper. Title with vignette numerous woodcut illustrations and large initial capitals. 1 vols. Folio 12-3/4 x 8-7/8 in.; 32.4 x 22.5 cm. This work consists of two important ordinances issued by the Spanish monarchy on November 20 1542 and June 4 1543. Under the active influence of Bartolomeo de las Casas "friend of the Indians" the new laws had the special design of ensuring better treatment of the Indians limiting the distribution of their lands and above all protecting them against enslavement by the conquering Spaniards. <br /> <br /> "Las Leyes Nuevas" are reprinted here in this fine facsimile from the copy on vellum in the British Museum and are followed by an English translation. Much of the book is taken up by the historical Introduction by Henry Stevens who denounces the Spanish mistreatment of the Indians. Ironically the Spanish crown was later forced to rescind the new laws by colonists who were outraged at having to give up their right to a quota of enslaved Indian laborers.<br /> <br /> A magnificent and impressive production by the Chiswick Press one of only 13 printed on vellum.
