From the Collection of Baron de Eyb his heraldic lithographed ex-libris dated 1899 to front pastedown an evident descendant of the author. Eyb is the name of an old Franconian noble family which is named after Eyb in Ansbach. It is likely this volume was owned by a contemporary with familial ties to the author and stayed within the family until the early 20th century. Eighth Edition of this important work of German Humanism. Albrecht von Eyb one of the earliest German Humanists was born in 1420 near Ansbach. Eyb went to Italy and devoted himself to humanistic study at the Universities of Pavia and Bologna. He returned to Germany in 1451 having been appointed Canon at Eichstätt and Bamberg. From 1452 to 1459 he was again a student at Bologna gaining the degree of doctor in 1459. That same year Eyb wrote Margarita poetica in honor of his mother Margarete von Wolmershausen. It was first published in Nuremberg by Johann Senschschmidt in 1472 and reprinted at least 13 times by 1503. It remained a popular manual of classical rhetoric by its three distinct focuses: letter-writing model orations and florilegia compilation of excerpts. The work is known for its vivid expression found within selected passages from classical and contemporary authors from Cicero to Petrarch. The Catholic Encyclopedia calls it a textbook of humanistic rhetoric consisting of a collection of passages in prose and verse from Latin authors to which are added specimens of humanistic eloquence.

1492D16270Venice: Hieronymus de Paganinis 1492. Hardcover. Very Good. 7 September 1492 from colophon: “Impressa vero in felici Venetorum ciuitate sumptibus et arte Hieronymi de Paganinis Brixiensis. Anno gratie millesimo quadrigentesimo nonagesimosecundo. Septimus Idus septembris.”. 8vo 170 x 120mm. 510 leaves of 552 lacking the Interpretation of Hebrew Names 41 leaves at the end and final blank. Signatures: A10 a-z8 aa-zz8 A-P8 Q12. Title printed with “Biblia” in gothic letter in upper margin above rectangular woodcut of St. Peter holding keys within double ruled border captioned “Tu es petrus” later hand coloring to halo and garb of Peter. Title verso with the “Tabula alphabetica historiarum Bibliae” compiled by Gabriele Bruno. Text printed double column index in triple column 50 lines to a full column printed in gothic type with red rubrics and headings rubricated versal initials alternating red and blue ink printed marginal citations throughout. Modern vellum yapped edges endpapers renewed; register and first few leaves of prologue little frayed to the margins some light dampstaining near end only light intermittent stains edges lightly browned annotations trimmed close in few margins and few minor marginal repairs otherwise a sound and solid incunable edition of the Biblia Latina retaining the inaugural woodcut. Scattered period Latin annotations and manicules in margins occasionally repeating a word in Scripture like “Patientia” or names of the biblical persons from text “Helias” “Jezebel” or “Joab” and names of kings and their sons are also curiously given much attention writing in more lengthy memory devices for their relationships “Roboam filius Salamonis rex in Juda” – all seemingly the work of one scholar and another cancelled early inscription on A9 perhaps the name “Carolii”. Overall studied and plenty in inscriptions some annotations in Jerome’s prologue and later books are written in red <br />ink. This is the second octavo edition of the Latin Bible printed in Venice in 1492 containing the corrections by the Franciscan scholar Pierangelo da Montolmo named in the robust colophon as “Petrus Angelus de Monte Ulmi”; supposedly a folio edition was issued this <br />same year by the same printer Girolamo de’ Paganini or “Hieronymus de Paganinis” though not found in standard references. The earliest octavo edition of the Latin Bible also known as the “poor man’s Bible” was printed in Basel by Froben in 1491. This Venetian octavo <br />edition is the first Latin Bible to include the “Tabula alphabetica historiarum Bibliae” an alphabetical table of contents compiled by the Franciscan Gabriele Bruno or Brunus in 1489. It is also the earliest printed Bible to display a woodcut on the title – printers of <br />Bibles had previously avoided title pages to best imitate manuscript sources. This 1492 edition was reprinted in 1497 and corresponded closely to the Brescian edition of 1496; the more common 1497 reprint reused the St. Peter woodcut but omitted “Biblia” on the title page. The woodcut’s caption “Tu es Petrus” You are Peter is the formula spoken at papal coronations and the words have long been associated with arguments for papal authority. Interestingly Pope Alexander VI was ordained into the papal office the month prior to this printing on 11 August 1492. Corrected editions of the Bible abounded during the Renaissance a period of intense and progressive scholarship and increasing publishing opportunities; this edition is distinctly associated with Franciscan study and use and made revolutionary efforts to organize the Bible with Bruno’s new contents list. The new “pocket-sized” Bible was an easier and more affordable format to disseminate Scripture. Travelling clergy would have especially benefitted from its portability. This copy interesting for its somewhat heavy Latin marginalia dating closely to the period of the printing; the eager reader names biblical persons of interest and contemplates their genealogical relationships throughout.

1566WRCAM54413Mexico: Antonio de Espinosa 1566. 440416 leaves with several woodcut illustrations and woodcut initials throughout. Small thick quarto. Contemporary vellum with yapp edges remnants of vellum ties at fore-edge. Light wear and soiling to vellum endpapers renewed. Small marca de fuego on top edge. Moderate wear to initial leaves moderate worming in lower corner and occasionally along lower margin all expertly repaired slightly affecting only a few printed marginalia and catchwords. Light tanning and occasional foxing. A very good copy overall. A very rare complete and substantial example of early Mexican printing. This work was produced and published by Antonio de Espinosa the second printer in the New World after Juan Pablos and is one of the most considerable efforts of his career in Mexico. Espinosa was brought to Mexico by Juan Pablos as an assistant and type cutter in 1550 and he eventually broke Pablos' monopoly and began printing for himself in 1559. The present work printed in 1566 is one of only a handful produced in Mexico during that decade and is one of the initial books of the Mexican incunable period. <br> <br> The text itself is the first edition of a religious work by Bartholomé de Ledesma explicating church sacraments in great detail later reprinted in Salamanca in 1585. The work is split into six parts. The first discusses the sacraments generally and the ensuing five treat individual sacraments in depth. Ledesma was a key figure in the early Mexican church as a close advisor of the second Archbishop in the New World Alonso de Montúfar and the chair of theology at the nascent University of Mexico founded in 1551. He was also one of the foremost proponents of book censorship and prohibition in New Spain and vigorously investigated private libraries and booksellers for forbidden materials and was responsible for the destruction of many volumes. He later became the Bishop of Oaxaca a position in which he served until his death in 1604. <br> <br> Overall the work is a fine example of the sophistication which Espinosa brought to early Mexican printing. The titlepage contains a fine coat of arms that of Archbishop Montúfar and the section on marriage sacraments includes several finely executed woodcut diagrams of consanguinity. The text is printed elegantly in a Roman type which Espinosa had introduced to New World printing with printed marginal notes in italic and woodcut initials throughout. Below the colophon is an excellent example of Espinosa's printer's device the first used on any book produced in the Americas. In his 1940 census of Mexican imprints Wagner located twelve copies of this work and over seventy-five years later OCLC adds only three more. It appears just four times in auction records of which one copy was incomplete. <br> <br> A rare desirable Americanum printed by the second printer in the New World and one of the earliest Mexican incunabula still obtainable.
