VERY RARE FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH OF THE FIRST AND GREATEST WORK OF ENGLISH HISTORY BY THE FATHER OF ENGLISH HISTORY. RARE IN COMPLETE STATE when one reads the catalogue entries of copies in even some of the worlds most prestigious institutions one finds descriptions of missing signatures facsimile titles or entire sections excised to be quite the norm. This copy but for its probable early 19th century blank flies and endpapers is wholly intact and in a truly exceptional state of preservation.<br> The Venerable Bede's title of "The Father of English History" is well deserved. He was England’s greatest historian in the Middle Ages. His greatest work is the Historia Ecclesiastica here in its first English edition. It is an ecclesiastical history of the English people. Bede begins with Caesar’s invasion in 55 BCE and St. Alban’s martyrdom in Roman Britain tracks the spread of Christianity following St. Augustine’s mission to England in 597 and provides an account of critical events such as the Council of Whitby which decided that Roman rather than Celtic Christian customs would be followed in Britain.<br> Bede drew on the many manuscripts in the Jarrow monastery’s outstanding library and correspondents provided him materials. He was a diligent scholar and properly credited his sources. To the benefit of historical scholarship Historia Ecclesiastica spread widely throughout Europe in the Middle Ages with some 160 manuscripts still surviving. Not long after his death he became known as the Venerable Bede. His was one of the first printed history books published in Latin in Strasbourg about 1475. Highly popular on the Continent and in Britain it was reprinted in 1500 1506 and 1514.<br> Due to its strong association with Catholicism this first translation into the English tongue was published in Antwerp as the book was then prohibited in England as traitorous. Stapleton was educated in Oxford where he became a fellow in 1553. On Queen Elizabeth’s accession he left England to study theology in Louvain and Paris. His translation of Bede was his first of many fine works. Stapleton used Bede’s history to remind the reader that “we Englishmen also these many hundred of years kept and preserved sound and whole the precious perle of right faith and belefe†and he admonished that “after we forsooke the first paterne off the Christen faith delievered to us we have fallen in to plenty of heresies.†He added that the Venerable Bede a most reliable source describes many miracles that occurred in Britain under the true faith. Stapleton's translation has been called an "enduring contribution to this sparkling collection of recusant prose" -DNB <br> This is also a copy of fine and established provenience. It was formerly owned by the renown historian and antiquary Roger Twysden whose ownership signature is dated 1648. Having been caught up in civil war strife Twysden retired to his seat Roydon Hall and devoted himself to his study and writings particularly on early English histories and monasticism. His collection passed to Sir John Sebright who sold the main portion at auction in 1807. Much of Twysden's collection later passed to Sir John Sebright whose fine engraved armorial plate is afixed to the front paste-down. The present binding was likely made while the book was in Sebright's possession. <br> Contrary to the implications of Stapleton's edition of Bede Twysden's Historical vindication of the Church of England 1657 argued that it was the Church of England rather than Rome which had held fast to the true faith and that the pope's powers over England gained gradually over the centuries had been submitted to voluntarily out of love not duty for the archbishop of Canterbury had no mediate superior but only Christ and God see Jessup Sir Roger Twysden pp. 192-5. Completed in 731 Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum is 'probably one of the most popular history books in any language and has certainly retained it popularity longer than any rival. The enthusiasm shown for his writings in the eighth century by English missionaries on the Continent such as Boniface Lul and others led to the spread of knowledge of his works not only in England but also in western Europe . . . . From then on as the spread of his manuscripts shows the History became popular all over western Europe and 160 of them survive today in spite of all the wars and other dangers to which manuscripts are always subject' Colgrave & Mynors p. xvii. It was first printed c. 1475 at Strasbourg PMM 16. 'Bede provided for over a thousand years and to a large extent still provides nearly all the knowledge available of the early history of England. His Historia is the only work other than parts of the Bible which has been read by every English generation from his own day to the present. It has the power to move and to convey something of the personality of its author to a degree which has called forth not only admiration but a kind of affection' Oxford DNB. John Laet hardcover
1539505317Michaelis Vascosani Michel Vascosan 1539. Leather. NEAR FINE. 4 218pp. 9 Index. Folio in 6's collation complete: 2 A3-T6 2. Vulgate text printed in larger font with woodcut drop caps marginal references. Nicely bound in recent vellum with hand-written spine title in a convincing antiquarian hand. Some light staining to the edges small wormhole to top margin toward the gutter not affecting text; else FINE internally; a nice fresh copy. Bede the Venerable was one of the greatest minds of the Middle Ages and his immense learning is on full display in this commentary on the Fourth Gospel drawing on the church fathers as well as interlocating Old Testament and intertextual references. Bede had a particular devotion to the Johnannine gospel; his translation of the Vulgate into Old English is held as the first vernacular translation. The value of this particular edition is due to its significance in the history of printing. Vascosan set up his press 1530 under the banner of his father in law the famed printer Badius and adorned his title pages with the Badius printer's device through the decade. For reasons unclear possibly a dispute with relatives sharing an interest in the firm in 1539 Vascosan stopped using the Badius device. Rather than cut his own device Vascosan simply printed his title pages without one remarkably becoming the first printer to forego this branding tool that was so essential to printer differentiation in an age when books were sold without bindings. While his motivations at the outset are unclear it may have been simply needing to sell some books before a proper device could be cut he took a liking to it and maintained this style throughout his career. Today he is remembered as a pioneer of this 'unadorned elegance of his editions' Oxford Companion to the Book p. 1238. His text-only title pages were 'a harbinger of a new approach to title pages. Vascosan’s decision flew in the face of the Parisian and more generally European book-trade where printers’ devices had played a vital role in the identification and marketing of printers’ and booksellers’ output. He was trail-blazing a new method of promoting his works – a minimalist style which would challenge the use of ornate devices so popular among the first generation of Parisian printers and booksellers. Coupled with his rejection of a printer’s device was what one might call his ‘purification’ of the title page for his title pages are incredibly simple in style the whiteness of the paper dominating. Henri-Jean Martin wittily calls this ‘the graphic mode’ of ‘solemnization of the title page’ as opposed to the second ‘monumental mode’ which by the end of the sixteenth century became saturated with symbols and architectural motifs.' Exhibition Catalog 'Printing in Sixteenth-Century France at the Edward Worth Library.' While we cannot speculate on the priority of printings within the year 1539 we can say that no other copies of a 1539 Vascosan imprint are available in trade at this time and only one appears in auction records.

156298780Milan 1562. 1562. - Folio 12 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. 1-page on bifolium with a red paper seal. On the 4th leaf with the seal the letter is addressed "APRmo 5 Mons : Vescovo di Cremona". The letter realized in a secretarial hand is dated April 5 1562 from Milan and is boldly signed by Francesco Fernando dÁvalos d'Aquino d'Aragona.<p>Philip II King of Spain and Duke of Milan chose Francesco Fernando dÁvalos to be his envoy at the Council of Trent. He arrived in Trent on March 14 1562 and attended the sessions of the council. He pressed the Spaniards to not offer up anything against the interests of the Holy See. Upon his return to Milan he charged his secretary Ercole Pagnano with the task of generating a report. As the Governor's agent Pagnano had defended the privileges of the Sicilian monarchy and worked with the Spaniards to quell the controversy regarding the jurisdiction of bishops. In this letter to the Bishop of Cremona the Governor is offering Pagnano's report to him. Loosely translated he states that Pagnano is well informed about these things and that "V.S." Your Excellency should be given his account.<p>The letter was once folded into 4 panels and there very minor breaks along 3 of the folds. There is some minor browning especially to one of the folds. <p>An advisor to King Philip II of Spain Francesco Fernando dÁvalos c.1530-1571 took command of the Spanish army in Lombardy and Piedmont succeeding the 3rd Duke of Alba who had become the Governor of Milan. From 1560 to 1563 Francesco Fernando served as the Governor of the Duchy of Milan. He was the viceroy of Sicily from 1568 to 1571.<p>The Bishop of Cremona was born Niccolo Sfondrati in 1535 in the Duchy of Milan. Philip II of Spain appointed him to be a senator in Milan in 1552 and at the urging of the Spanish government the Pope appointed him Bishop of Cremona in 1560. He participated in some of the sessions of the Council of Trent from 1561 to 1563. In 1590 he was one of seven cardinals that were acceptable to be pope by Philip II of Spain. He was elected Pope and took the name Gregory XIV. He died less than a year later in October 1591. Milan, 1562. unknown

Preceded the earliest complete Latin edition of the Qurʼan by ten years. <br /> <p><p><br /> “Contra Alchoranum†the anti-Islamic work of the Carthusian monk Dionysius 1402–1471 was written around 1454 but only printed some eighty years later in this edition. It was edited by Petrus Blomeuenna whose dedicatory epistle is addressed to Emperor Ferdinand I. The laudatory poem about Dionysius Carthusianus that closes the book was written by Nicolas van Essche 1507–1578.<br /> <p><p><br /> Dionysius cites passages of the Qur’an in the Latin translation of Robert of Ketton and counters them by biblical quotations he places these Qur’anic theses and biblical antitheses in the mouths of a Christian and a Saracen as a fictitious dialogue. He also encourages crusades against the Ottoman Turks who shortly before he wrote this treatise had conquered Constantinople. <br /> <p><p><br /> “Contra Alchoranum†is considered to be the first printed source in Latin of the legend of Bahira or Sergius the Nestorian Monk who according to the story together with three Jews conveyed the text of the Qur'an to Mohammed with massive falsification of the Biblical traditions.<br /> <p><p><br /> The book has been published ten years earlier than the first printed version of the entire text of the Qurʼan in Latin translation Machumetis Saracenorum principis; Basel 1543 and uses the same translation by the English scholar Robert of Ketton Robertus Ketenensis; 1110–1160.

1583WRCAM47035Paris 1583. Engraved portrait oval with surrounding legend and text beneath on laid paper 6 7/8 x 4 1/4 inches. Cut to just within plate mark and inlaid into later wove paper sheet. Later ink inscription on verso reading: "from Holland / 1809." Minor wear and soiling. Matted. Very good. A clean impression of the second state of this famous portrait of Sir Francis Drake at age forty-three shortly after he returned from circumnavigating the globe the basis for most of the later images of him. The image is taken from a portrait purportedly painted from life by Jean Rabel the Elder and is said to be a credible likeness of the famed navigator. The legend beneath the portrait indicates the dates of Drake's circumnavigation listing Rabel as the painter and Thomas de Leu as the engraver. Thomas de Leu 1560-1612 a pupil of Rabel moved to Paris around 1576 and became one of the most noted portrait engravers of his time. This engraving of Drake was the basis for many later images of him including the well-known engravings by Jodocus Hondius and Crispin van de Passe. <br> <br> The earliest graphic image of one of the greatest figures in maritime history.
