1556340<p>Quarto 12.75" x 8" x 2" blind tooled leather over wood boards.</p><p>This volume of Simon Schardius' collection of four medieval chronicles was published in Frankfurt in 1566. The chronicles contained in the volume had previously not been published. The texts included are:</p><p>Iohannes Turpinus de vita Carlo Magni et Rolandi.</p><p>Rhegino Abbas Prumiensis Diocesis Treviren.</p><p>Sigebertus Gemblacensis eiusque continuator Robertus de Monte.</p><p>Lambertus Schaffnaburgensis alias Hirsfeldensis dictus.</p><p>Simon Schard Lat. Schardus 1535-1573 was a German jurist historian and philologist.</p><p>The first work is identified as being authored by Johannes Turpin which refers to Tilpin archbishop of Reims c. 748-794. He was long believed to be the author of this History of Charlemagne and Roland which is now believed to have been authored much later likely in the thirteenth century. Thus the text is now often identified as being by Pseudo-Turpin.</p><p>The second text is the Chronicle of Regino of Prum c. 842-915. Regino was a chronicler and taught at the monastery of Prum where he ultimately became a monk. He became abbot there but was removed in 899 when he went to Treves where be became the abbot of Saint-Martin. His famous chronicle contained in this book relates the history of the world beginning with the advent of Christianity up to the year 906.</p><p>The third text is the Chronographia of Sigebert of Gembloux c. 1030-1132 director of the monastic school at the abbey of Saint-Vincent de Metz. The Chronographia is a universal chronicle of the most important events from 379 or 381 to 111.</p><p>The final text is the Annales of Lambert of Hersfeld c. 1025-c.1085. Little is known about his biography but his Annales traces the history of the world beginning from its creation until 1077. This work is a particularly good source for the life of Henry IV of Germany.</p><p>Also contained in the text are an introductory letter composed by Schard dedicating the work to to one Johannes Albertus identified in the title of the letter as "prince and lord D. Iohannes Albertus Megalopolan duke prince of the Henetes Suerinus Rostochius and Stargardia." There is printing error at the top of one page of the introductory letter. The heading at the top of each page identifies it as the "epistola nuncupatoria" save for one page where "historia nuncupatoria" has been printed presumably in error.</p><p>There is an index at the end and a brief biography of each author following the work of Johannes Trithemius abbot of Sponheim and the Bibliotheca of Conrad Gessner his attempt at a universal library following the introductory letter.</p><p>This copy is in Fair condition. The title page and the first three folios have been completely separated from the binding and while present are loose. The title page also appears to have been printed on a different kind of paper from the rest of the folios. The fourth folio has also largely detached. The front hinge is badly cracked and the back hinge is also cracked though less so. The back pastedown has partially worn away exposing some of the old folios used in binding beneath. The leather covering the boards has significant loss in places but the lovely repeated blind tooled pattern is still able to be appreciated. There were originally metal clasps remnants of which are left on the front but which have disappeared completely from the back. As a result large sections of leather to which they were attached have been removed. Towards the end the folios have increasingly dark water stains primarily at the bottom but also at the top corner however none of these impact any of the text.</p> hardcover
158200370<p>BOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T WRITE GOOD --- 16 319 1 p. 8vo a8 A-V8 164 x 103 mm --- First edition of the Dutch Catholic teacher's last work a students' guide to Latin composition. By <em>copia</em> Verepaeus here means not <em>abundance</em> but <em>ability</em> what he calls the <em>facultas</em> to properly use words and figures of speech p. 17-18. In subsequent years <em>Praeceptiones de verborum et rerum copia</em> and <em>Praeceptiones de figuris</em> would often appear separately. Editions stretch into the 18th century demonstrating an enduring utility. Includes a verse encomium by Aegidius Vlieger. ¶ Written in a catechetical question-and-answer format the author covers all the elements of good composition. He does address some grammar and the parts of speech but generally ventures beyond these in pursuit of more advanced rhetorical topics. "What is the use of metaphor" p. 166-168 for example and "What is synecdoche" p. 173-174. He discusses irony too providing classical examples and addressing its uses p. 192: "vituperation is always more agreeable"; <em>vituperatio semper venustior est</em>. He briefly touches on sarcasm not that we care p. 193. Allegory onomatopoeia hyperbole—all your favorite rhetorical devices find treatment here. Like many such manuals of the day Verepaeus underscores the value of good composition in the critical endless task of correspondence p. 3 but also in verse composition p. 4 and speaking p. 5. It's difficult to overstate the importance of rhetoric in humanistic early modern Europe—"the art of arts and science of sciences" according to Anthony Grafton. And there seems to have been no shortage of teachers willing to sell their secrets to unleashing rhetorical power. ¶ Scarce in the trade this the only copy we find in auction records. --- PROVENANCE: Early ownership signature of one Carmelus Lentinus on title page. ¶ A little underlining and a handful of early <em>nota bene</em> marginalia both confined to the first thirty pages. --- CONDITION: Early limp parchment preserving the original upper pair of tawed ties but only remnants of the lower. Title and date in early ink on the front cover. ¶ Scattered light foxing; final leaf twice torn nearly across the width through the text and a couple square inches of loss at its foot no textual loss. Parchment soiled and torn at the head of the spine. ¶ A nice solid copy. --- REFERENCES: VD16 V 613 ¶ Peter Mack <em>A History of Renaissance Rhetoric 1380-1620</em> Oxford University 2011 p. 224 "Verepaeus is extremely thorough in his treatment of the tropes making many subdivisions particularly in metaphor metonymy and synecdoche"; Anthony Grafton <em>Bring Out Your Dead </em>Harvard University 2001 p. 168</p> Gerwin Calenius and the Heirs of Johann Quentel

1598001041London: Thomas Creede 1598. First English language edition. . Hardcover. See Description. Small folio. Lacking preliminary blank leaf thus pp. 10 310 292 4. Page numbering is erratic. Leaf Ee3 is mis-signed as F3 but all leaves are present and in order. The title page contains a woodcut vignette/device. Each chapter begins with a woodcut decorative head piece and an initial. Bound in full dark brown modern calf with blind tooled borders and stamps after an early period style. The upper part of the title page is age-toned / tanned; a professionally sealed 7 cm. tear runs from the gutter part way across the upper portion of the title and is difficult to detect on first sight; a couple of tiny chips on the top edge are restored. Interior pages are generally attractive but with occasional mild age-toning and periodic faint marginal damp staining. A small repair patch is present on the inner margins of leaves A6 and V6. A tear on leaf V6 also carefully sealed extends vertically about 8.5 cm from the lower gutter and part way into the text but causing almost no obscuration. Printed by Thomas Creede who is best known for issuing dramatic works including some of Shakespeares plays. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a translation of "Recueil des choses mémorables avenues en France sous le règne de Henri II François II Charles IX Henri III et Henri IV." This work is generally attributed to either Simon Goulart or Jean de Serres and was first printed in French no place or publisher in 1595 and again in 1598 expanded to include the reign of Henri IV up to the year 1597. See Brunet IV 1161-1162. The second part with new pagination provides translated selections from Pierre Matthieus 4 part "Histoire des derniers troubles de France" first published in Lyons 1594-95. A section at the end is titled "a brief recitall of the most memorable things which came to passé in Fraunce under the raigne of Henry the fourth until the middle of the Yeare 1598" which if written by Matthieu may possibly represent the first printing of some amendments which Matthieu later added to the second edition of his "Histoire" printed in 1600. This collection provides interesting testaments to the wars of religion in France during the 16th century. A separate 4 page tract at the end is titled: "A true discourse concerning the deliverie of Brittaine in the yeare 1598." ESTC S121331; USTC 513796; Lowndes p. 831; Hazlitt Biblio.

He was active in Paris between 1520 and 1546. Colines used elegant roman and italic types and a Greek type with accents that was superior to its predecessors. His books usually were small in format and superbly crafted.</p><p>Colines was associated with the elder Henri Estienne and continued his work after his death in 1520. Colines married widow of Estienne and was in charge of the press until Estienne's son Robert I entered the business in 1526 by which time Colines had set up his own shop nearby. In 1528 he began to use italic type. Colines published many Greek and Latin classics. Although he was not a scholar himself he extended the range of the Estienne firm's learned and scientific works to include the natural sciences cosmology and astrology. He is credited with the design of italic and Greek fonts and of a roman face for St. Augustine's Sylvius 1531 from which the Garamond types were derived. In 1525 he published the notable Grandes Heures de Simon de Colines with decorations by Geoffroy Tory. Jerome Solomon aforementioned books.

He added to the classics publications of anti-Lutheran theological writings and works by the faculty of the University of Paris. In all Colines' press produced at least seven hundred and fifty publications. Although not a scholar himself he used his considerable familiarity with the Estienne publications and extended his own press to include writings on the natural sciences cosmology and astrology. </p><p>Colines was an important part of the development of book and reading structure in Renaissance printing.

According to Borba the present edition is the first to contain the letter of Maximilian of Transylvania reporting the news of Magellan's voyage p. 585. This augmented edition holds the second and third letters of Cortes and selected letters of Juan Zumarraga the first Archbishop of Mexico. Though the account of Magellan's voyage was originally published in 1522 in a 16-leaf ephemeral edition of a letter addressed to Charles V its appearance in Grynaeus's collection of voyages marks the first time his landmark discoveries appear in an historical context side-by-side with those of Columbus Vespucci and the Portuguese navigators.<br/> <br/> Adams G1337.

15876397Alcalá de Henares: Juan Gracián 1587. First Edition — Primera edición. Alcalá de Henares Juan Gracián 1587. En 4º. 10 105 i.e.103 hojas incluyendo 2 hojas de errata licencia y tasa impresas aparte. Portada con grabado en madera. Encuadernación de principios del siglo XIX en pasta lomera cuajada de dorados y tejuelo en marroquén. Contiene las 2 hojas de errata licencia y tasa no descritas por Palau Catalina GarcÃa MartÃn Abad ni ninguna otra bibliografÃa consultada. Tampoco aparecen registradas estas dos hojas en el Catálogo Colectivo del Patromonio Bibliográfico Español. Primera edición de una de las obras más importantes dedicadas a la lógica que tenemos en español; obra pionera no en vano dice de ella Palau: "Este libro es un caudal de doctrina profunda y un modelo de claridad". A pesar de que en el tÃtulo se indica "Primera parte" es todo lo publicado. Su segunda parte que trataba sobre la fisiologÃa o filosofÃa natural asà como una tercera parte dedicada a la filosofÃa moral que ya se anunciaban en esta primera quedó sin imprimir. En la Biblioteca Real se conserva un manuscrito Ms. II/1158 que Mathiela Morreale supone autógrafo y contiene de hecho algunas correcciones y sugerencias sobre diagramas y tablas propias del autor. A partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI surge un interés por el estudio y discusión de temas de filosofÃa y lógica en lengua vernácula. Fue quizá Alessandro Piccolomini uno de los primeros autores en escribir un tratado de lógica publicado en italiano en 1551 con el tÃtulo "L'instrumento della filosofia". Este comienzo de discutir y transmitir la filosofÃa en lengua vulgar no fue fácil. Al igual que Piccolomini Simón Abril se tuvo que enfrentar a quienes despreciaban y tenÃan en poco las ciencias si se hacÃan en lenguas comunes. No dudó en exigir nuestro autor a las autoridades competentes que llevasen a cabo las reformas necesarias para la difusión de la filosofÃa en España propuesta que incluÃa la difusión del conocimiento filosófico más allá de las aulas universitarias. Donde mejor se recogen sus teorÃas educativas es en "Apuntamentos de cómo se deben reformar las doctrinas y la manera de enseñarlas" 1589 que dirigió a Felipe II. "Lo que procuramos es la propiedad y claridad del lenguaje. especialmente siendo esto lo primero que acerca de esta materia 'la lógica' nace en esta lengua" Simón Abril p.251 Pedro Simón Abril manchego nacido en Alcaraz de La Sierra Albacete 1530-1595 fue procesado por la Universidad de Huesca por enseñar allà las disciplinas de Artes y FilosofÃa lo que era entonces privilegio único de esa institución académica. Como el maestro se negó a suspender sus enseñanzas fue excomulgado desde los púlpitos y tuvo que ceder finalmente y reducir el estudio a la disciplina de Gramática. Este ejemplo muestra la oposición a su labor que desgraciadamente no tuvo continuidad inmediata ya que sus textos no consiguieron modificar el modo en que se enseñaba y difundÃa la filosofÃa cientÃfica. Para muchos se trata de un personaje imprescindible del Renacimiento y del humanismo español considerado como el primer divulgador y traductor de diversas obras clásicas además de un gran renovador del teatro de su época. Juan Antonio Pellicer a finales del siglo XVIII lo tenÃa como el mejor traductor español antiguo. Entre sus traducciones más importantes nos encontramos con textos de Platón Terencio Esopo Cicerón y Aristóteles entre otros. Fue también profesor de griego y latÃn en la Universidad de Zaragoza donde alcanzó la cátedra y posteriormente de poesÃa en Tudela. La tercera y última parte del libro acaso la más interesante versa sobre la lógica dedicada a la analÃtica donde se dan ciertas pautas tocantes a los negocios. El autor escribió además alguna obra de economÃa: Manuel Colmeiro en su célebre <em>Biblioteca de los Economistas Españoles</em> recoge la cita de Nicolás Antonio en su <em>Biblioteca Hispana</em> de un manuscrito con el tÃtulo <em>Libro de la tasa del pan y del modo que se debe tener en hacella</em>. Sus estudios e investigaciones relativos a la lógica quedan muy bien expuestos al ver como se plantea su actitud hacia dos visiones enfrentadas del mundo los sistemas ptolemaico y copernicano: "Ponen todos los astrólogos la tierra en el centro del mundo y el sol en el cuarto cielo y los demás cielos por su orden y hacen sus juicios de conjunciones oposiciones eclipses y otras cosas semejantes y salvan las apariencias y salen los juicios verdaderos. Viene Nicolao Copérnico y trueca la suerte y hace el sol centro del mundo y la tierra súbela al cuarto cielo y hácela movible y salva las apariencias y conforme a este presupuesto hace los mismos juicios y sálenle bien". Como vemos Pedro Simón no rechaza la teorÃa heliocéntrica de Copérnico por motivos religiosos ni filosóficos le parece tan válida como la teorÃa ptolemaica porque ambas comparten "condiciones esenciales de estar en conformidad con los sentidos y observar las exigencias del razonamiento legÃtimo". Autor prolijo este enorme humanista español merecerÃa un plan de publicación de su obras completas especialmente aquellos tÃtulos que aun no han sido publicados. Simón Abril nos ha dejado según he podido recopilar 12 obras impresas y más de 30 manuscritos repartidos por las bibliotecas públicas españolas. Posiblemente haya sido Luis de Cañigral Cortés quien más y mejor ha estudiado la obra del autor junto a su predecesora Margherita Morreale de Castro. En el siglo XIX se publicó una "muy correcta segunda edición" de esta obra en la colección "La verdadera ciencia Española. Biblioteca Económica" Vol. LXVIII Barcelona 1886. Muy buen ejemplar en perfecta condición. Nuestro ejemplar contiene 2 hojas de erratas licencia y tasa no descritas en ninguna bibliografÃa. Curiosamente el Catálogo Colectivo del Patrimonio Bibliográfico Español tampoco menciona la existencia de estas dos hojas. Hace unos años revisé un ejemplar defectuoso de varias hojas ofrecido en Christie's el 20 de marzo de 2013 lote 37 que sin embargo también contenÃa estas dos hojas. El ejemplar digitalizado por la Biblioteca Virtual del Patrimonio Bibliográfico no las contiene ni los ejemplares minuciosamente descritos por Catalina GarcÃa y MartÃn Abad. Por tanto estas hojas sin signatura debieron imprimirse aparte algo más tarde y fueron añadidas sólo en unos pocos ejemplares. En nuestro ejemplar que está intonso se encuentran encuadrenadas entre los dos pliegos de preliminares. Juan Gracián unknown

As for the absence of the map in this copy Harrisse in his Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima wrote: ".Notwithstanding the statement in Mr. Grenville's Catalogue respecting the frequent absence of the map "there is no doubt but that a map does belong to the work.Mr. Muller has reproduced ten copies in exact facsimile" Harrisse remarks: "Whether they were the maps really belonging to the work and described by Munster we are unable to say as no two copies of this edition had the same.
