A handsome copy of a landmark work with an interesting provenance perserved in a navy blue clamshell box. $13000. First edition. Written between 1250 and 1256 De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae The Laws and Customs of England is the first treatise on English law. A systematic work it emphasizes the separation of procedural and substantive matters and also cites cases as sources of at least intellectual if not formal authority. Both the principles formulated in this work and its use of precedents determined the development of English law and established the method adopted by Littleton and Coke. In Maitland's words it is "the crown and flower of English medieval jurisprudence" and "by far the greatest of our medieval law books." This copy belonged to Arthur Henry Holland-Hibbert 3rd Viscount Knutsford 1855-1935 of Munden House Hertfordshire. He served as both a justice of the peace and High Sheriff of Hertfordshire. His bookplate was engraved by Sir Henry Badeley who designed bookplates for a number of important clients including the House of Lords Library. Maitland Collected Papers II:43. Dauchy et al. Eds.

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

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.

16001745Original printing plate: Johannes Galle. c.1600-1650. Engraved copper printing plate depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden surrounded by all manner of creatures with Adam sitting at the foot of the tree of knowledge about to take a bite from an apple whilst Eve takes another from the hand of a serpentine creature coiling around the branches above. 22.7 x 19.1cm. The plate incorporating text to the foot from Genesis 3. Signed at the foot "M. de Vos invenit / Corn. Galle Sculp. / Io. Galle excudit". The plate with some old fine scratches is otherwise in very good order. WITH: A later mid nineteeth-century and somewhat weak impression of the plate on paper. This laid down to board with manuscript French labels dated 1851 to the reverse apparently gifting the item from Mademoiselle C. Thyes of Brussels to "Monsieur Delpy"; the print with two pin holes to the blank lower margin and a few spots of faint foxing. A beautifully-executed original engraved copper printing plate by the Flemish engraver Cornelis Galle the Elder 1576-1650 forming a typically busy depiction of the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve sealing their fate amidst a varied menagerie of peaceable beasts including an elephant camel bear porcupine ostrich and rearing unicorn amongst others.</p><p>Cornelis Galle was first taught engraving by his father the engraver and publisher Philip Galle 1537-1612. He subsequently resided in Rome for several years where he acquired an accuracy of design and freedom of style which marked him out as a master of his art form. Following his return to Antwerp he continued to engrave numerous plates after the works of his countrymen as well as his own designs becoming a master of the Antwerp Guild of St Luke in 1610.</p><p>The present engraving was made after an original painting by the prominent Flemish artist Maerten de Vos 1532-1603. A prolific draughtsman de Vos produced numerous designs for the engravers of Antwerp the resulting prints of which circulated widely in Europe and the Spanish colonies significantly contributing to his international reputation and influence.</p><p>Hollstein XLIV.61.243.
