In-4 p. (mm. 283x195), p. pergamena ottocentesca (restaurata per piccole manc.), ai piatti una delicata cornice a secco, titolo impresso al dorso, 56 cc.nn., caratteri tondi. “Contiene solo il "De sermone", essendo il "De bello Neapolitano" pubblicato dal Mayr nel mese di maggio dello stesso anno”. Così Manzi “La tipografia napoletana nel '500” (1971), n. 16. Nel "De Sermone" compaiono considerazioni sull’utilità dell’arguzia e della facezia. In questo trattato l’A. propone l’ideale di una conversazione libera e aperta, capace di alleviare gli aspetti piu’ ingrati e severi della vita quotidiana. Rarissima "seconda edizione" (la prima è del 1508). Cfr. Choix de Olschki,VIII,12246 - Brunet,IV,807. Antiche scritte margin., solo qualche lieve fiorit., altrim. esempl. ben conservato. "Giovanni Gioviano Pontano (Cerreto, Umbria, 1422 o 1426 - Napoli 1503), poeta, fecondissimo scrittore e uomo politico. Padrone della lingua e del verso latini come forse nessun altro umanista, il Pontano non ebbe nel Rinascimento chi lo uguagliasse come prosatore; a lui poeta solo il Poliziano può esser messo vicino". Così Diz. Treccani,IX, p. 621.
In-4°; cc. (4), l’ultima bianca. In fine al testo una estesa nota manoscritta. Legatura in cartonato semplice. Molto raro. Il Tractatulus fu pubblicato autonomamente prima di essere incluso nella sua più ampia opera sull’Europa (Historia rerum Friderici…). Enea Silvio Piccolomini narra in questo pamphlet la storia dell’assedio di Costantinopoli da parte dei Turchi di Maometto II, evento che pose l’Europa sotto una minaccia militare e ne decretò una battuta d’arresto anche dal punto di vista culturale. Il resoconto dell’assedio descritto in queste pagine è piuttosto crudo (molti particolari in successive lettere verrano edulcorati); descrive tra l’altro la distruzione di Santa Sofia, la sua riduzione in stalla o lupanare: Iustiniani caesaris opus toto orbe famosum, nudatum sacra suppellectile ad omnes spurcicias patuit…sanctorum imagines aut luto fedate aut ferro delete: altaria diruta. In templis ipsis aut lupanaria meretricum facta aut equorum stabula. Parla di ignominia e irrisione della religione, di stupri e rapine. La politica durante il pontificato di Pio II ebbe come filo conduttore l’azione contro i Turchi ottomani che avevano conquistato Costantinopoli e stavano per espandersi nell’Impero Bizantino. Questo papa sentì fortissima l’urgenza di contrastare l’Islam e fondò per questo scopo anche l’ordine cavalleresco di Santa Maria di Betlemme. IGI 7755; BMC IV, 94. Very rare. The “Tractatulus” was published on its own before beeing included in a wider work about Europe (“Historia rerum Friderici”). Piccolomini tells in this small book the story of Constantinople siege by Mohamed the II, an occurence that put Europe under a military menace, and in a cultural deadlock position. The chronicle is raw and explicit (in later letters many details were censored); the Saint Sophie destruction is described, and its changement into a barn or a brothel. During his pontificate, Pius II strongly fought the Ottomans who kept Constantinople and were expanding towards the Byzantine Empire. This Pope felt the strong urgency to combat the Islam and stated the Saint Mary of Behtlem order.
