BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES: Rare not in Adams USTC 696770 citing 32 copies with just 3 in the UK and 2 in the US. Sebonde's Theologia was a celebrated text in its day but is mainly known now through Montaigne's attention and his French translation of the work in 1569. Its prologue asserting the ability of human reason to understand the existence and attributes of God through observation of the natural world was added to the Index Prohibitorum in 1559. A beautiful example of this rare text in an exceptionally fine binding.</p> Argentinae: Ex officina Martini Flach junioris hardcover

Craig Kallendorf was Professor of English and Classics at Texas A&M University. He was the author or editor of 27 books and more than 170 articles book chapters and reference work entries. Among Kallendorf's groundbreaking monographs on the Virgilian tradition special note might be made of his Virgil and the Myth of Venice: Books and Readers in the Italian Renaissance Oxford: Clarendon Press 1999 which shows how the wide reading of the Aeneid accessed in both Latin and Italian editions contributed to Venetian ideology and the so-called "myth of Venice." With its publication according to reviewer Diana Robin Renaissance Quarterly 55.4 2002 p. 1394 Kallendorf is to be recognized as "the leading authority on the Virgilian tradition in early modern print culture in Italy." <br /> <br /> ABOUT THE BOOK<br /> <br /> Post-Incunable edition of the first six books of the Aeneid by Virgil.

15646012<p>8vo. 112 ff pages 2 and 110-112 are blank. Bound in modern paneled calf with gilt-stamped fleurons on front and back covers raised bands. Generally good.<br /></p><p>The first edition of this plague treatise by Paracelsus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim 1493-1541 the "Luther of Medicine" and one of the key figures in the history of medicine. Written originally in Nördlingen in 1529-1530 it remained unpublished during Paracelsus' lifetime and subsequently taken up and edited for publication by the Paracelsian scholar Adam von Bodenstein 1528-1577. The latter dedicated it to Johann Rudolph Stör von Störenberg Abbot of Murbach and Luders. In addition to the study on pestilence the text includes two short works by Paracelsus: "Vom Preservatiff durch den Schwebel" and "Von der Mummia."</p><p>In the primary tract Paracelsus for the first time presents his complex theory on the origins of the plague which he believed were the result of astrological and corporeal events set in motion by human sins. "This anthropocentric view of an individual disease is in harmony with Paracelsus' whole philosophy and indeed with Renaissance philosophy in general" Pagel p. 179. Paracelsus also postulates the importance of the principle of sulphur the corresponding agent of the planet Mars in pestilence's causation. He believed that sulphur hidden in three minerals—antimony arsenic and marcasite—affected three corresponding organs: the groin the axillae and the ears.</p><p>The chapters on causation are followed by sections on remedies. The doctor must cure the agent causing the disease rather than the symptoms of the disease Paracelsus writes. Humoral pathology and its insistence on diet is of no use. "Paracelsus' plague remedies include sulphur spirit of vitriol sulphur sublimate and metals also—for external treatment of boils—toads and decoctions of beetles designed to remove the evil of magnetic attraction but herbs and drugs as prescribed by Ficino and Agrippa are greatly amplified and still appear in a prominent place" Pagel pp. 180-181 n. 151.</p><p>The editor of this volume Adam von Bodenstein was one of the key figures in the revival of Paracelsian ideas in the German lands in the middle of the sixteenth century. A son of a radical reformer he believed in transmutation of metals into gold and played a key role in the publication of over 80 works by Paracelsus. For his Paracelsianism he was excluded from the faculty and council of Basel University.</p><p>OCLC records US copies at NYAM NLM Wash.

Hardback greyish-brown leather binding probably 18th or more likely 19th century with maroon title label gilt-blocked title and raised bands to spine. Blind-stamped design to boards and spine. Octavo/8vo collation but small measures around 3 1/8" x 4 7/8" x 1 1/4" circa 400-500 pages see below for explanation of unusual pagination and collation</p><p>Scuffing and wear to binding some discolouration but reasonably clean. Bumping and a little tearing to corners and to head of spine. Otherwise binding firm. A little cracking to title label but intact with some discolouration. Deckled page edges which are very browned scuffed and otherwise marked. small bookseller label to front pastedown. Some marking a little staining and foxing around pastedowns and endpapers. Toning staining a little light foxing and other marking throughout. Some creasing dog-eared corners and the odd tear with loss to a few leaves including to title leaf which is missing a few characters of text at bottom left-hand corner and is quite fragile and only attached at top. Heavy ink staining to several leaves towards end of book. Occasional underlining marginalia and a little text scored out in several latter pages.</p><p>Very unusual and defective page numbering. Firstly the numbering is of each leaf not each page and the print is a little unclear for some figures. It appears to run after the initial three blank endpapers and preliminary pages that could presumably be numbered i - vi being the tile page to end of 'epistole' from leaf 1 - 20 13 or 18 25 23 - 25 iB 27 blank 20 - 35 6 64 - 72 74 74 repeating 76 76 repeating - 92. However the leaves do not appear to be pages out of order nor duplications and the pages do all seem to be in correct sequence so it appears to be a printing fault rather than a binding one. The order of the page collation is more accurate sequentially though even then there are a few oddities running after the first three blank endpapers on the basis of numbers denoted on leaves as i-v then vi-viii blank from A i - F viii then G ii G G iv G iii blank G v - T viii no use of U V no use of W X - Z viii Aa i - Ff ii Gg ii-Gg iii Ff iv Gg ii Gg iv Gg iii Gg v - Ii v with blank leaves Ii vi-vii removed and three blank endpapers. See pictures for further information. About the author: <em>John Ravisius or Johannes Ravisius Textor or Jean Tixier de Revisi</em><em> c. 1470–1542 was a French Renaissance humanist scholar and professor of rhetoric. He was born in Ravisi which is near the commune of Saint-Saulge in the central province of Nivernais. His works which are mostly on the topic of education were widely accepted and employed by French academia. Tixier eventually adopted the Latinised name Johannes Textor Ravisius Nivernensis. Per the epitaph on his headstone Tixier was born in 1470 and died on 3 December 1542. According to Victor Gueneau other scholars pretend that he died on 13 December 1524 and that his brother Jacques completed Jean's book l'Origine de l'imprimerie "The Origin of Printing". Similarly some authors report his year of birth to be approximately 1480. Tixier studied humanities at the College of Navarre. When he graduated he accepted a position in the college's rhetoric department; there he impressed faculty and students alike. In 1520 he accepted a position as rector of the University of Paris. He held the position until 1525 succeeded by William Manderstown. More than thirty editions of his principal work Officina were published as he continued to expand it. Source: Wiki</em></p> H.

The work was published by Pope Bonifacius vii. <br>In the present legal example the Decretals are accompanied by flanking commentaries by Bernardus Bottoniensis and Johannes Andreas; the work also includes Dr. Lodovico Bolognini’s legal tables. <br>This body of canonical law would form the basis of canon law until in 1917 the law was further elaborated. Posterity would remember Pope Gregory for his Decretales Papal Inquisition ultimately with devastating long-term effects on Europe and his call for the Crusade of 1239 to retake Jerusalem. In 1233 Gregory IX would institute the Papal Inquisition to bring order and to deal with heresy appointing papal inquisitors - Inquisitores haereticae pravitati – in 1231. A consequence of the Decretals would become the suppression of followers of Judaism. The doctrine of servitus camerae imperialis or servitude immediately subject to the Emperor's authority promulgated by Frederick II directly proceeded from and built on the Decretals. The prevention of Jews to participate in the political life of Christian states continued well into the 19th century.
