154613096Basilae Basel Bâle Basel: Froben 1546. Fine. Froben Basilae Basel Bâle Basel 1546 33 x 22.50 cm relié Colophon: Basileae per Hieronymvm Frobenivm et Nic. Episcopvm mense Septembri M.D.XLVI. First edition. Decorated with numerous historiated initials. Printer's device on the title page and verso of the final leaf. Absent from French catalogues but present in English catalogues 2 copies in Germany at the GBV union catalogue of northern Germany and one at the University of Munich. The 1544 edition published in Paris does not include Erasmus's notes and the complete assembly of authors gathered in this edition; the Parisian edition was reissued in 1551 in Lyon by Gryphium but not this Froben edition which reproduces only Egnazio's edition. The first edition of Suetonius dates from 1479. Full sheep binding 17th century decorated raised spine red morocco title label. Overall rubbed and worn on boards numerous scratches upper headcap missing 2 upper corners broken and missing. Fine interior condition with pale dampstaining running through about twenty pages at top center pp. 29 to 45. Several pagination errors same number repeated leaf skipped without lack. The evident interest of this edition was to gather together all the writers of antiquity who wrote about the Roman empire not only Suetonius but also rarer writers such as Dio Cassius translated by Merula Herodian translated by Angelo Ambrogini Poliziano Spartianus or Lampidius Velleius Paterculus Vulcatius Gallicanus Ammianus Marcellinus. Two commentators: Erasmus died in 1536 and Giovanni Battista Egnazio 1478-1553. Froben 1501-1563 is one of the great publishers of the Renaissance and the worthy successor of Johann Froben the first of the dynasty who established his printing house in Basel in 1491; it was with him that Erasmus was linked and worked and Jerome Froben merely reaped the fruits. This edition is the alliance of Froben and Nikolaus Episcopius his brother-in-law. Gothic manuscript note: ""pour le couvent de l'observance des Lyon"" and manuscript pagination of the authors.

15990001479SEGOVIA SALAMANCA SPAIN ESPANA. Very Good. 1599. On offer is a superb late 16th early 17th Century manuscript book in two volumes being the transcribed works of John of Segovia the influential Catholic Theologian who was a professor at the Spanish University of Salamanca represented Castille at the Council of Basel and represented the council in the 1439 Diet of Mainz. He played a large role in the removal of Pope Eugene IV and the placement of Antipope Felix V. Volume One: "Tractatus de Deo" a 333 page work in a fine hand though not necessarily the work of a scrivener the endpapers featuring heraldic and maybe royal watermarks each is topped with a crown very similar to a Spanish heraldic crown of higher nobility. There seems to be the use of quartering and a pallet like central division. Pictured within the escutcheon are castles lions fleur de lis like symbols likely eagles a cross three horizontal circles with the use of borders and orles without the use of supporters or mottoes with other watermarks specifically a star over anchor on interior pages. Volume Two: "Tractatus de Sacramentis" 303 pages both 4to 26.5cm x 20cm. Tucked in the volume is one sheet of paper of identical type which we conclude is a leaf missed in binding or perhaps and erratum paage. Bound in period sheep vellum. There is some general mostly light soiling to the covers one worm hole to the vellum the odd interior fault but overall these volumes are VG. NOTA BENE: John of Segovia - His most important literary work is an extensive history of the Council of Basle "Historia generalis concilii Basiliensis. Libri XVIII" edited by Birk and Beer in "Monumenta conciliorum generalium saeculi decimi quinti: Scriptor." II-IV Vienna 1873-96. His other works are a treatise in favour of the Immaculate Conception of our Lady printed at Brussels in 1664; a refutation of the Koran entitled "De mittendo gladio in Saracenos"; a defense of the "Filioque" against the Greeks entitled "De processu Spiritus Sancti" Basle 1476; a Biblical concordance "Concordantiae biblicae vocum indeclinabilium" Basle 1476; and a few works defending the superiority of a general council over the Pope.; Latin; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: RELIGION SPECULATIVE RELIGION JUAN DE SEGOVIA JOHN OF SEGOVIA JOHANNES VON SEGOVIA UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA ROMAN CATHOLIC CATHOLIC CATHOLICISM THEOLOGY THEOLOGIANS TRACTATUS DE DEO TRACTATUS DE SACRAMENTIS CASTILE JESUIT WATERMARKS SACREMENT SACREMENTAL COUNCIL OF BASLE UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA CHRISTIAN CHRISTIANITY CATHOLIC CHURCH HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS AMERICANA MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . hardcover

Not in Brunet or other French catalogues. Not in French National Library's Italian catalogue either. Modern vellum flaps. 8vo 16 76 ll. A treatise on different types of fever hectic erratic plague-like and what's more unusual on the circulation of the blood.

Galen placed the origin of blood in the liver and this view was not challenged before the 16th century. Apud Felicem Valgrisium hardcover

""This little edition said to be very accurate is a true typographical jewel and perhaps the most beautiful one ever printed in the Hebrew language.

Some wormholes to the fifth volume not affecting the text. Joints corners and spine-ends expertly restored. Numerous contemporary marginal annotations in Latin manly in the first two volumes. This little edition said to be very accurate is a true typographical jewel and perhaps the most beautiful one ever printed in the Hebrew language.A. A. Renouard Annales de l'imprimerie des Estienne Exceptional copies of the Books of the Bible in Hebrew in first 16mo edition published by Robert Estienne. This pocket edition was printed in 17 volumes between 1544 and 1546 after the success of the four-volume quarto edition printed from 1539 to 1544. Based on the Hebrew Soncino princeps published in 1488 it was established by Humanist François Vatable. The text in Hebrew follows the Masoretic tradition and presents diacritics that facilitate its vocalization. Talented exegete François Vatable 1495-1547 early scholar of Hebrew studies during the French Renaissance was a member of the 'Cénacle de Meaux' founded by Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples and translated for him in 1509 the Hebraicum one of the five psalters of the Quincuplex Psalterium published by Henri Estienne. After founding the Collège de France in 1530 King Francis I appointed him chair of Hebrew studies. As a Royal lecturer he actively participated ten years later in a Hebrew edition of the Bible with Robert Estienne 1503-1559 printer to the King in Latin and Hebrew. This edition is undoubtedly a real typographical feat for a small format text in Hebrew lettering. It was certainly intended for scholarly use by Sorbonne and Collège Royal students given its pocket size sold in separate individual volumes. The presence of numerous contemporary marginal notes further indicates its educational purpose as is the numbering of lines of several pages in some of our volumes. A very beautiful and scarce collaborative work by two of the greatest figures of Parisian humanist scholarship a fine example of the renewed interest in classical texts and their study in the original language. Provenance: library of Charles John Dimsdale 1801-1872 fifth baron of the Russian Empire with his bookplate on each pastedown endpaper. Robert Estienne hardcover

Several very discreet wormholes without loss of text on the last leaves. Verified complete by a bibliographer of the Bernard Quaritch Ltd bookshop on 8 May 1925 cf. note on the verso of the last leaf. Rare and important treatise the very first on the topic marking a significant advance in the humanist and philological knowledge of the ancient deities. It is preceded by several lines addressed to the reader as well as a inscription entitled Andreae Reginio Romarici monti Sonrario by Philesius Vogesigena Matthias Ringmann humanist and scientific publisher of the work. Then follows a dedicatory epistle to Luca Ripa one of Giglio Gregorio Giraldi's old Ferrarese teachers dated 1507 in Milan. The author claims to have composed his Syntagma de Musis when he was still only an adolescent. The dissertation closes with several verses by ancient or contemporary poets to Giraldi Virgil Pico della Mirandola and Fausto Adrelini who have before him praised the graces of the Muses. This treatise emblematic of Medici-neoplatonism will have a significant influence on pictorial cycles and mythographers of the 16th century. The superb wood engravings illustrating the work do not conform to the ancient or Italian tradition but rather represent Germanic virgins. These woodcuts close in style to those of Dürer are very clearly inspired by the artist without being able to be formally attributed to him. Very beautiful full-margined copy of this rarity representing higher German education. Matthias Schurerius unknown

From leaf XVI of the second part wormholes affecting some letters. In 1349 the Dauphin Humbert II without heir bequeathed Dauphiné to the eldest son of the King of France who would henceforth bear the title of Dauphin as sovereign of this province. Louis XII son of Charles VII would be the first Dauphin. Going to Dauphiné would be the first responsibility of the future King of France. From 1447 the Dauphin Louis went to his lands where he resided for 10 years. Louis decided to govern this province and modernized it by having a register of the rights privileges and freedoms of Dauphiné compiled the delphinal register. This register would be the basis of the statutes of Dauphiné found in this customary. In 1461 Louis the Dauphin became Louis XI upon the death of his father. All the customs of Dauphiné were compiled in 1482 in Grenoble. The first part of the work reflects this. The second part largely in French is the result of the meeting of the three estates forming Dauphiné and which met in Tours where Louis XII resided. The text is a response to their requests and grievances establishing new edicts for Dauphiné. There is found at the end as Brunet stipulates a piece dated March 1508 so the publication cannot be earlier: ""Actum quarta martij. Anno domini M. cccccviij"".

Ode to the harvest in which Luigi Tansillo 1510-1568 poet and soldier of the Renaissance recounts the carnival-like celebration of the country side of Nola Campanie. During this celebration inspired by those of the antiquity the drunk peasants give all sorts of bawdy speeches about Neapolitan women with a licentiousness that was still tolerated without distinction of age or sex or social class. The allegory of Tansillo a truly priapic creation alarmed the modesty. The Inquisition placed the work on the index and the poet was forced to beg forgiveness from Pope Paul IV by composing the Lagrime de san Pietro: the supreme Pontiff accorded his mercy to the sinner and removed the ban on all his works except for this one. hardcover

Stamp on first title page: Bibliotheca St. Bartholome Fulginei. Originally from Evreux where he became prior of the convent after completing his studies in Paris Guillaume Pepin preaching friar devoted his existence to preaching whose interest and success are demonstrated by the multiple publications of his works. He brought the convent under his charge into the reformed Congregation of Holland. ""However rigorous and doctrinal it may be his preaching remains warm and convinced; this is undoubtedly what made it successful in his time. Hence the adage: Nescit praedicare qui nescit pepinare. His works cover the entire annual liturgical cycle. But he also touched on the genre of scriptural commentary. His preaching of the Rosary enjoyed the success of editions; more than a devotion it is for Pepin the occasion to preach the mystery of Christ and Mary; he is an emulator of Alain de la Roche protagonist of the Rosary in the 14th century.""

The four final leaves were numbered and partly ruled but left empty. Contemporary manuscript ex-libris on front endpaper. In Spanish throughout written in Caroline minuscule on 24 lines the text is very readable and very regular. The manuscript begins with a three-page summary covering the 24 chapters that comprise the Regla y constitutiones de la cofradia del Sanctissimo sacramento de la yglesia de San Christoval de Granada. One illuminated capital in red and blue indents and pagination in red small sketch in black ink to the inner margin. The verso of the final page of the summary has been ruled and lined in red but left blank. There follow the three full-page miniatures. The first shows a Communion scene on the recto of one leaf the second the Tree of Jesse verso of the same leaf and the third Saint Christopher bearing the baby Jesus recto of the following leaf. The verso of the miniature bears a short manuscript text explaining that these rules are those of the confraternity and brotherhood of the Holy Sacrament established in the Church of Saint Christopher of Granada on the 1st of May 1568. This is followed by the prohemio a prologue of two and a half pages in which the confraternity takes an oath; this starts with an imposing illuminated capital in red and blue.

The first shows the Holy Communion with Christ himself establishing the Eucharist with the words This is my body this is my blood. The Apostles and Jesus with a halo blessing them are seated around a table set with bread and fish. This motif became a major theme of Christian art in the Renaissance as this miniature also shows. The second miniature shows the Tree of Jesse which symbolises the genealogy of Christ traced from Jesse Xese shown as an old man reclining. In keeping with the iconographic tradition a tree protrudes from his side the main branches of which bear some of Jesus's ancestors. Here they are: Zachary Jeremiah David an unidentified king and at the pinnacle Mary holding the Christ child within a mandorla. The third miniature presents a scene with Saint Christopher the patron of the Church in Granada to which the Confraternity of the Holy Sacrament was attached with a child on his shoulders as he was commonly represented. The iconography derives from a passage in the Golden Legend in which St Christopher helps a small b S. n. hardcover

Olivier Maillard 1430-1502 Vicar General of the Franciscan observant of France in 1502 is one of the greatest figures of the Franciscan order at the end of the XV. From Brittany and died in Toulouse he was a preacher of Louis XI and the Duke of Burgundy. His reputation is mainly based on the preaching he did during the years 1494 and 1508 in the church of Saint-Jean en Greve in Paris and strange liberties he gave it. He seemed never find the word hard enough nor sufficiently vivid expression to his sermons. ""Nobody had ever attacked all classes and all social professions more boldly virulence and tasteless. Each of his sermons is a bitter and outrageous satire covered with foul language trivial and words borrowed from bad places of the lowest ""Hoefer. The style of Olivier Maillard was rated ""Macaronic"" by Sainte-Beuve in his historical and critical Table of poetry and the French theater in the eighteenth century. See Moreau chronological inventory Parisian editions of XVIII century. ""Brother Olivier Maillard was a preacher of the fifteenth century who acquired much fame pronouncing several Latin sermons mixed with French in which he declaimed against the vices of the great the church people and lawyers.
