Lucius Caecilius Firmianus signo Lactantius c. 250 - c. 325 was an early North African Christian author who became an advisor to Roman emperor Constantine I guiding his Christian religious policy in its initial stages of emergence and a tutor to his son Crispus. His most important work is the Institutiones Divinae "The Divine Institutes" an apologetic treatise intended to establish the reasonableness and truth of Christianity to pagan critics. He is best known for his apologetic works widely read during the Renaissance by humanists who called Lactantius the "Christian Cicero". The Basle printer Henricus Petrus was responsible for the publication of very important works including an early edition of Copernicus and Munster's Cosmographia. He printed this Latin and Greek edition of Lactantius' work in a mixture of roman single column italic double column with the indices in triple column and with a few woodut initials. This is the first appearance of of the commentary by Xystus Betuleius who composed German and Latin didactic dramas this commentary and also another on Cicero; and a concordance of the Greek New Testament.

Nicholas Sanders c.1530-1581 Roman Catholic agent and historian ordained c.1550 exiled in Augsburg in 1566. This work by Sanders "De visibili Monarchia Ecclesiae" first published in 1571 contains the first narrative of the sufferings of the English Roman Catholics. Its extreme Papalism and its strenuous defence of Pius V.'s bull excommunicating and deposing Elizabeth marked out Sanders for the enmity of the English government and he retaliated with lifelong efforts to procure the deposition of Elizabeth and the restoration of Roman Catholicism. His expectations of the cardinalate were disappointed by Pius V.'s death in 1572 and Sanders spent the next few years at Madrid trying to embroil Philip II. who gave him a pension of 300 ducats in open war with Elizabeth." The state of Christendom" he wrote "dependeth upon the stout assailing of England." His writings have been the basis of all Roman Catholic histories of the English Reformation. In this work he is deeply critical of Henry VIII even suggesting that Anne Boleyn was actually Henry VIII's own daughter.

Anicius Manlius Boethius 480-524 was a late Roman philosopher and statesman. He became embroiled in a plot against Theodoric the Ostrogothic ruler of Rome and was eventually executed. Boethius wrote his most famous work the "Consolation of Philosophy" while awaiting his fate in prison. The five sections discuss the capriciousness of fortune the influence of good and evil and the nature of God's control over the universe i.e. free will providence and fate. The work employs the Platonic notion of an ascent of the soul to the Godhead through a process of contemplation and reflection. The imagery is predominately pagan; however the author himself was strongly influenced by Christian thought. Boethius's work was immensely influential throughout the middle ages. Commentaries are provided by Josse Badius 1462-1535 and Thomas Wallensis the latter wrongly ascribed to Thomas Aquinas. The "Ascensio explanato" has separate signatures and divisional title page.

1578ST15632London: Printed by John Kingston for Andrew Maunsell 1578. First Edition in English. 189 x 134 mm. 7 3/8 x 5 1/4". 4 87 1 leaves with foliation errors but complete.Translated from the Latin by Thomas Twyne. <br/> Retrospective half pigskin over marbled boards raised bands red morocco label. Title with woodcut ornament head- and tailpieces many decorative initials. Printed in black letter. Front pastedown with Macclesfield bookplate for the South library; title with inscription in ink "Dulcius ex ipso fonte bibuntur aquae" "Sweetly the waters have been drunk from the fountain itself" and with the initials "D. Fl." see below; a couple of contemporary annotations in ink one slightly shaved; numerous marginal readers' marks in ink and pencil. STC 6231; ESTC S105155. Paper a shade or two less than bright title somewhat soiled a dark stain affecting the upper corner of ff. 24-28 touching text but all is legible; still an overall very good clean copy in a pleasing new binding.<br/> <br/> This is the first appearance in English of Daneau's 1576 "Physica Christiana" the foundational work of "Mosaic physics" which attempted to reconcile the account of creation in Genesis with scientific knowledge of the natural world in order to create a "Christian natural philosophy." Though obviously theological in origin "Christian Physics" is nevertheless substantially a work of natural history generally adopting the Aristotelian worldview then prevalent. The first of two parts is a disquisition on creation a long Socratic dialogue on the meaning of the opening chapters of Genesis. The second part which occupies a good deal more than two-thirds of the volume is a broader treatise on nature including discussion of such things as light and shadow meteors the rainbow thunder precious stones glass gold various trees stars and planets fish birds elephants foxes and many more topics. A Calvinist theologian forced into itinerancy because of his incautiously expressed opinions Daneau 1530-95 produced a considerable number of books mostly commentaries on the Bible and controversial works written against Lutherans and Catholics alike. Our copy has a couple of curious contemporary marginal annotations. On the verso of fo. 2 at the beginning of the second chapter someone noted "Five / speciall / copies of na- / turall phi- / losophye." And at the head of fo. 39 mis-numbered 40 recto is the inscription "Sr. Walter Rawley Laureatus poeta May 4 anno reg. Eliz. 39 anno dom. 1598." There is nothing in Raleigh's biography that can account for his being mentioned as poet laureate in 1598; in that period he was occupied in naval pursuits against the Spanish armada. It has been suggested that our copy was once owned by scholar and translator Andrew Hartwell 1553-1606 a bibliophile who sometimes used the Latin motto which appears on the title page here and who marked passages in his books with the floret-like squiggle seen here on ff. 3-12. At the same time the "D. Fl." inscription on the title page resembles the ownership mark used by the celebrated 17th century bibliophile antiquary politician and magistrate Sir Daniel Fleming 1633-1701. Later the book was securely located in the great library of the earls of Macclesfield which was sold in 12 sales at Sotheby's from 16 March 2004 to 2 October 2008 for some £22 million at the time approximately $40 million. The library was dispersed when the 9th Earl Macclesfield Richard Timothy George Mansfield Parker b. 1943 who was described by the "Independent" as leading an "unconventional lifestyle" was forced to leave his 14th century Shirburn Castle after a protracted family dispute. Called by the paper "a sleeping beauty" his crenellated home had a moat a drawbridge and at the time of the Earl's departure a repair bill of approximately £2.6 million. Despite the building's dilapidation the books in the very large library were distinguished for being uniformly well preserved were almost always in their original bindings and were a sensation at auction for more than four years. The present work is rare: ABPC and RBH locate just one other copy at auction in the past 40 years. [Printed by John Kingston] for Andrew Maunsell unknown
1555000865Dégagnac France Lot. Very Good. 1555. On offer is a fascinating handwritten medieval French manuscript book earliest date 1555 with entries through 1597 in original blindstamped calf with small Fleur-de-lis. This stunning book has approximately 300 pages of handwritten entries being a register of acts properties transactions loans personal notes and journal entries the majority concerning Marc-Antoine Hébrart a noted merchant in the village of Dégagnac in Lot in south-western France. Most certainly Jewish it is evident that the Hebrart family was one of the largest land-holding families in the area. "In 1504 and 1505 the two "headmen" of the village Antoine Hebrart and Pierre Peysson together accounted for 15 percent of the land of the village" Ref: By Le Roy Emmanuel and Ladurie John Day The Peasants of Languedoc . A pencil annotation indicates that Marc Hébrard was of Jewish origin. A fairly cursory examination of the manuscript lends no additional support to this assertion but it is possible given the history of the Jews of neighboring Languedoc and the fact that some Jews remained in France under Christian-like assumed names after their expulsion in 1306. The generic 'Marc-Antoine' is cited as a Jewish name in Sara Uckelman's "Jewish Given Names Found in "Les Noms Des Israélites en France."
