1497898Nurnberge: Antonium Koberger 1497. Folio 30.8 x 21.5 cm. Signatures : A8a–z8&6. This copy is bound in its original blind stamped half pigskin over wooden boards lacking clasps. . This copy has been densely annotated by a German humanists circa 1511. This is an important edition with three commentaries from the end of the 15th century by great figures of Italian humanism and following the Venetian edition o. •On the title page two references to Italian miscellanea of the end of the 15th century: one to the freedom of poets to slander which refers to Pietro Crinito’s De honestis disciplinis lib. 20 ca. IX and the other to a complicated passage of Juvenal explained in chapter 33 of the Miscellanea of Ange Politien Expositio hujus carminis Juvenalis scilicet occidit miseros Crambe repetita magistros in Miscellaneis ca. 33 This chapter of the Miscellanea explains the very graphic proverb Occidit miseros Crambe repetita magistros which appears in Juvenal’s Satire VII v. 154 which can be translated literally by “It is from this cabbage unceasingly re-served that unhappy masters die†to denounce the repetition to which masters are forced.<br /> <br /> Hain; 9711; CIBN; J-368; IGI; 5601; IBP; 3322; Kotvan; 743; Arnoult; 938a; Zehnacker; 1378; Goff; J664; ISTC online Provenance: 1.German reader early 1510s. 2.

The book is later in the collection of Jean-Baptiste Colbert de Beaulieu 1905-1995 ex-libris. 7. It is then in the collection of Jean Stefgen Joinvillele Pont 1927-2017 bookplate. <br /> <br /> A copy profusely annotated up to satire 6 by a German reader in the first decade of the sixteenth century as indicated by the diacritical sign above the u’s its spelling Yason for Jason apoptegmata without ‘h’. This incunabulum is found in its interesting first binding Rhenish half pigskin stamped and bound over wooden boards<br /> <br /> .Our German reader most likely annotated the work while it was still in quires and disbound but maybe sewnindeed some notes aredeepin the inner margin. The work was probably annotated before being bound which caused some minimal trimming of the outside marginal notes.<br /> <br /> The sources used by the annotator display a strong knowledge in Rhenish humanism around 1511. This reader was obviously educated in a circle close to the young Beatus Rhenanus and most likely Jakob Wimpfeling at the crossroads of classical and Christian culture. His reading is indeed a mixture of Italian philological and historical commentaries and works of northern humanism Reisch Erasmus. Several notes reveal the use of a series of editions published in Strasbourg in 1511: the Hymni heroici tres of Jean-François Pico de la Mirandole with the annotation of Beatus Rhenanus the collection of ps. Bérose published by Grüninger with a text of pseudo Xénophon. Our anonymous reader reads Erasmus’ Adages in an edition by Schürer c. 1511 and the Praise of Folly the first editions of which also date from 1511 Paris Gilles de Gourmont and then M. Schürer. XXI v. <br /> <br /> The annotator also has recourse to contemporary Italian encyclopedias Enneades by Sabellico Commentarii by Volaterranus to which he adds the reading of Reisch’s Margarita philosophica the jewel of northern humanism the editio princeps dates from 1504. The annotator refers to a passage of this work Book VII chapter VII where Atlas is presented as the inventor of astronomy note on f. CXIIIr: “Atlantem caeliferum fuisse negat Lucrecius. Lege invenies in Margarita ex Plinio li 7 ca 2†etc. These readings and references to the editions of 1511 make us think that the annotator plausibly followed a university course held in Strasbourg around 1511 always in the close circles frequented by Beatus Rhenanus. <br /> <br /> The humanist commentary here focuses on word radicals lexiconand context the annotator mobilizes printed commentaries with little interest in figures. He shows a predilection for natural history Pliny and Solinus very much in demand and Roman history in general the annotator resorts as well to Suetonius as to modern commentaries such as Philippe Béroalde and Sabellico see page 58 of this catalogue whose Enneads he quotes several times f. XXIV v for example.<br /> <br /> This erudite reader sometimes commits approximations in his references: he confuses for example a title of the pseudo-Xenophon with a collection of the pseudo-Beroses. A long quotation of a passage that he attributes to Philippo Beroaldus the Elder on f. XXVIIr comes in fact from the Annotationes centum and not from his commentary on Suetonius see Anthony Grafton “On the Scholarship of Politian†Journal of the Warburg 1977 p. 166. He recopies from memory incorrectly on f. VI a licentious epigram by Martial book VI 67 & notes in the margin still on this verse but this time about eunuchs: “Martialis / Cur tantium eunuchos uxor tua Caelia quaeris / Pannice vult futui Caelia non parere.†The annotator also has recourse to the vast Latin poetic heritage: Ovid and Seneca on f. II Vide Ovidium Transformationum… Vide Senecam in Agammemnone; Horace Satire VI I on f. XVr. Also to some poets of late Latinity like Sidoine Apollinaire through an incunabula edition 1498 with commentary. He also gives some suggestions for corrections to the text: f. LIX r to the lemma “caldum†he refers to the Attic Nights of Aulu Gelle: “emendatius caldus haud … quam calidum apud Gellium caldam saepeponitur li 19 ca 4″.Some other notes are:•A reference to the practice of hunts venationes in the circus under Domitian with an anecdote of a certain Maevia descended the pointrine naked in the arena f. V r. It reproduces the words of an ancient scholiast of Juvenal: †Alia indignatio in mulierum impudentiam quae temporibus Domitiani descendebant in venationes et pugnas theatrales †words of the scholiast of Juvenal.on the title page two references to Italian miscellanea from the end of the 15th century.

1483ABC_50159Venice 1483. Small folio. Reynaldus de Noviomago 17th-century blind-tooled sheepskin sewn on 3 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine red sprinkled edges. With the initials and book numbers alternatingly painted in red and blue. 355 ll. Beautifully rubricated 1483 edition of Plinys encyclopaedia of all knowledge in the ancient world PMM edited by the Italian humanist Philippus Beroaldus 1453-1505. Divided into 37 books the text is one of the largest works to survive from the Roman Empire encompassing botany zoology astronomy geology geography mineralogy and art. First published in Venice in 1469 by Johannes de Spira it marked the first appearance in print of any scientific text. The present work is the 11th edition overall and the first and only by Reynaldus de Noviomago dates unknown originally from Nijmegen in the Netherlands.The Historia Naturalis aims to cover the full scope of ancient knowledge drawing on the most authoritative sources available to Pliny. It remains a key reference for understanding Roman science technology and natural phenomena. The work preserves unique accounts of technical innovations such as mining techniques and the use of water mills for grinding and many of its observations have been confirmed by archaeology. Pliny also provides rare descriptions of contemporary artists making the work an invaluable source for art history. As the Dictionary of Scientific Biography notes Pliny holds a place of exceptional importance in the tradition and diffusion of Western culture.Widely read and highly influential in the 15th century Historia Naturalis saw 18 early printed editions from 1469 to 1500 all produced in Italy. Despite occasional inaccuracies or lapses in citing sources Plinys compilation of facts is unique for its breadth and ambition. By quoting numerous classical authorities and including all material uncritically he provides a comprehensive overview of ancient knowledge. Even the errors in his work offer modern scholars insight into both the understanding and misunderstanding of the natural world in antiquity.Gaius Plinius Secundus 23/24-79 CE better known as Pliny the Elder was a Roman author naturalist and natural philosopher as well as a commander in the Roman army and navy and a friend of the emperor Vespasian. Devoting much of his life to observation study and travel he produced this encyclopaedic work which became a model for all subsequent encyclopaedias in its scope meticulous referencing of sources and detailed indexing leaving a lasting legacy for the study of natural history in both the Renaissance and beyond.With a shelfmark label mounted on the front pastedown several 16th-century annotations in the text. The outer layer of the sheepskin has been rubbed off leaving the suede layer the work has been rebacked with the original spine laid down. The first and last few leaves are slightly soiled water stains in the margins of some of the leaves sometimes slightly affecting the text lacking the first blank leaf.
