A. Gellii luculentissimi scriptoris Noctes Atticae. Nunc denuo ab infinitis quibus scatebant mendis summa ac diligenti cura repurgatae atque pristinae integritati restitutae.
Venice Venetiis Apud Hieronymum Scotum 1569. 8vo. XVI5431 blank p. 18th/19th century half vellum 16 cm Ref: Edit16 CNCE 20612; Not in Schweiger Didbin Moss Ebert Graesse Brunet or Fabricius/Ernesti Details: Evidently a rare book. Not a single copy in Rare Book Hub Americana Exchange. KVK Karlsruher Virtueller Katalog refers only to copies in Italian libraries. Marbled boards. Printer's mark on the title depicting a winged leopard a kind of griffin carrying a winged orb or ball. Woodcut initial at the beginning of each of the 20 books. Printed almost completely in italics. At the end is a 35 page list of Greek passages found in the text with their translation into Latin called dictionum graecarum interpretatio Condition: Cover slightly worn especially to the extremes; back slightly spotted and soiled with some faint pencil stripes. Ownership entry on the lower part of the title erased. A pinpoint wormhole in the right upper corner of the last 4 leaves far away from the text Note: The Venetian publishing firm of the Scotto family printed in the 16th century in 2 fields it specialised in the printing of music and texts of the Latin classics. The Scotto firm contributed also in the area of Aristotelian studies. The most important of this printing dynasty is Girolamo Scotto or Hieronymus Scotus. He composed music himself but he is best known as the most inflential music printer of the Renaissance. He has even a lemma in wikipedia. When Girolamo took over in 1539 the firm had already earned great finance with classic texts Latin translations and commentaries by various humanists. He made however a huge fortune with mass produced music. Still he continued to print texts of classical authors. An example is this Gellius edition. It has some remarkable features it looks exactly like a Gryphius edition. It imitates the handy small format the lay-out the italic fypeface the catch-words and the lectiones variantes printed in the margins of the Gellius editions which Gryphius had published earlier. The books of this Lyonaise firm were often cheap pirated reprints of successfull texts which were sold all over Europe. It seems that the Scotto firm tried to imitate the Gryphius edition to join in its success. Scotto even had the nerve of repeating verbatim the title of the Gellius edition of Gryphius which was published in 1556. Remarkable is that the editor of the Scottus edition very often took the trouble of swapping the lectio varians printed in the margin of the Gryphius edition and the reading in the text. The Scotus edition repeats almost verbatim the dictionum graecarum interpretatio of the Gryphius edition at the end including the Ad lectorem. Scotus perhaps produced this edition solely for the Italian market for KVK records only copies in Italian libraries Provenance: Old name on the lower margin of the title erased difficult to read: Caesaris Crispoliti Perugini. We found one Caesar Crispolitus or Cesare Crispolti 1563-1608 a Perugian local historian a jurist and canon of the Perugian cathedral. He is best known for his Perugia augusta descritta which was published posthumously in 1648. He was once the owner of a manuscript now in the Biblioteca comunale Augusta of Perugia Manoscritti 1058. He is described there as I.U.D. Iuris Utriusque Doctor. The library holds some manuscripts with lectures he held at the local Accademia. See manus.iccu.sbn.it//opac_SchedaScheda.phpID=0000188440. His Raccolta delle cose segnalate of 1597 one of the oldest guide to Perugia was republished in 2001 by Olschki as �Raccolta delle cose segnalate� di Cesare Crispolti. La pi� antica guida di Perugia 1597. 1604 saw his dissertation Idea dello scolare che versa negli studi affine di prendre il grado del Dottorato Collation: 8 A - 2L8 Photographs on request hardcover

Paris Parisiis H. Stephanus 1585. Cum privilegio Caesaris et Gallorum regis in decennium. 8vo. VI231 blank5871 blank;74 index2 blank2053 blank p. Vellum 18 cm Ref: Renouard p. 450/51 15852: '�dition rare et estimable' Schweiger 2378; Brunet 1523/24; Graesse 346; Ebert 8284 Details: 5 thongs laced through both joints. Short title on the back Condition: Vellum soiled and spotted big red stain on the lower board. Occasional old ink underlinings & marginalia. Small and old inscription on the verso of the front flyleaf. A small reference written on the title. On the verso of the title a round red stamp. Upper corner of the last gatherings slightly waterstained. Paper somewhat yellowing Note: The Roman author Aulus Gellius ca. 125-180 AD was never counted as a major author in antiquity nor later. His only work 'Noctes Atticae' or 'Attic Nights' is a miscellany that 'ranges from literature to law from wondrous tales to moral philosophy; one of his favorite topics is the Latin language'. . The exposition in a mildly archaizing but never difficult Latin often takes the form of dialogues with or between culturally eminent persons whom Gellius had known'. It derives its name from the fact of its having been written during the long nights of a winter which the author spent in Attica as a young itinerant student. The Noctes Atticae were exploited by pagans and Christians alike in late antiquity. In medieval florilegia he is much quoted for piquant tales and moral sentiments. 'From Petrarch onward Gellius became a favorite author of the Renaissance'. 'More than 100 manuscripts were copied'. He was used as a valuable source of information on the Latin language and had preserved numerous quotations from lost authors which were presented with grace and elegance. Gellius became a model for the 'Miscellanea' of the Italian humanist Angelo Poliziano. 'In the 18th century however new canons of elegance caused his style to seem less attractive and compilation sank to minor merit' Quotations from 'The Classical Tradition' Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 386/7 � The notes of Louis Carrion latinized as Ludovicus Carrio Brugensis ca. 1547-1595 which are promised on the title page are lacking in this edition. Carrion had promised the Parisian scholar/publisher Henri Estienne II ca. 1530-1598 to manufacture notes for his Gellius edition. Estienne printed the text of Gellius and waited eight months. In the meantime Carrion delivered material for only 7 leaves. Tired of waiting Estienne published his Gellius replacing Carrion's notes with work of his own: 'Noctes aliquot Parisinae'. Ultimately Carrion sent Estienne notes concerning the first 24 chapters of the first book only together 120 pages. These notes Estienne thereupon published separately in the same year. Most copies are like ours in only a few copies both works have been bound together. � The 'Noctes Parisinae' are 27 in number 7 of which are dedicated to Estienne's friend the historian politician and bookcollector Jacques Auguste de Thou 1553-1617 who was in 1585 'ma�tre des requ�tes au parlement de Paris'. Estienne extols his friend 'for his erudition and his extraordinary zeal for the collection of books: noticing the exquisite literary treasures in which his library abounds his judgment in the selection of editions his liberal disbursement in purchasing and his profuse expenditure on binding and decoration'. William Parr Greswell 'A View of the Early Parisian Greek Press' London 1833 volume 2 p. 350 The 'Noctes Parisinae' opens with a defence of Gellius against attacks of the Spanish scholar Juan Luis Vives who mentioned Gellius e.g. 'loquaculus sine eruditione'; and 'quae de significatu vocum disserit sunt frivola et plerumque imperita ac falsa'. Opera Basel 1555 Tom. I p. 480/81 Provenance: In pencil on the front flyleaf: '15 sept. 1965' written by the Flemish linguist Walter Couvreur 1914-1996 who was an Orientalist and professor of Indoeuropean linguistics at the University of Gent. It indicates the date of aquisition. On the pastedown in the rear he wrote the place where he bought it: 'Leipzig Zentralantiquariat DDR'. � On the verso of the title a red stamp: 'Ex Biblioth. Regia Berolinensi' Collation: A-B8 minus blank leaf B8 a-z8 A-R8 S4 leaf S4 blank A-N8 a leaf signed A2 inserted as a kind of half title between leaf C1 and C2; leaf N7 verso and N8 blank Photographs on request hardcover

Auli Gellii luculentissimi scriptoris Noctes Atticae.
Lyon Lugduni Apud Haered. Seb. Gryphii 1560. LXIIII blank5333 blank p. Limp vellum 17 cm Ref: Schweiger 378; Dibdin 1340: 'beautiful and accurate edition . deserving of the student's notice'; Moss 1203; Graesse 346; Ebert 8283 Details: Gryphius' woodcut printer's mark on the title depicting a griffin which mythological animal symbolizes courage diligence watchfulness and rapidity of execution used as a pun of his family name Gryph or Greif. From the claws of this creature hangs a big rectangular stone beneath which is a winged orb. The motto is 'Virtute duce / comite fortuna' 'Virtue thy leader fortune thy comrade' a quote from a letter of Cicero to Plancus Epistulae ad Familiares liber X3. At the end a woodcut griffin. The text is printed completely in italics except for the title Condition: Vellum shabby wrinkled and showing some old repairs. Corners somewhat dog-eared at the end and beginning. Two old ownership inscriptions on the title one on the front pastedown. Upper margin of the first gatherings and a number of gatherings halfway slightly waterstained. Front flyleaf removed. Paper yellowing. A few small ink stains on the edge of the bookblock Note: The Latin author Aulus Gellius ca. 125-180 AD was never counted as a major author in antiquity nor later. His only work 'Noctes Atticae' or 'Attic Nights' is a miscellany that 'ranges from literature to law from wondrous tales to moral philosophy; one of his favorite topics is the Latin language'. .

'In the 18th century however new canons of elegance caused his style to seem less attractive and compilation sank to minor merit' Quotations from 'The Classical Tradition' Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 386/7 According to Graesse this 1560 edition of Gellius is a reissue of the edition of Badius Ascensius of 1532. If this is correct than it was reissued without the preliminaries and the notes. Sebastianus Gryphius was an excellent Latin scholar himself and the printer of a host of handy and relatively cheap editions of Latin authors. Gellius was for him a moneyspinner for he published Gellius editions in 1537 1539 1546 1559 1560 & 1566 Provenance: Provenance the Tuscan city Gallicano. The first ownership inscription below the imprint is very legible: 'Bartholomaei Landi Gallicanensis' probably a Bartolomeo Landi from Gallicano. The second name on the title is crossed out: '. Johannis Mamanti Gallicanensis'. 'Johannis' and Gallicanensis' bear a contraction sign. The first name is illegible it is also contracted and ends probably on '-bri' The inscription on the front pastedown is a problem: 'Di Prese Gio. Mamanti da Gallicano'. Gallicano is a comune municipality in the Province of Lucca in the Italian region Tuscany located about 70 kilometres northwest of Florence Collation: A-D8 gathering C bound before B; a-z8 A-K8 L4 leaf L3 verso printer's mark leaf L4 blank Photographs on request hardcover

The notes of other critics are selected with judgment and the explanatory remarks of Gronovius must give every scholar the most exalted idea of his singular erudition'; Moss 2204/5; Fabricius/Ernesti 310: 'Haec editio repetita est'. Ernesti calls this edition 'luculenta'; Brunet 22 1524: '�dition la meilleure qui ait paru jusqu'ici'; Spoelder p. 527 Delft 1 Details: Prize copy of the Schola Latina of the city of Delft without the prize.

Engraved frontispiece by Goeree/Sluyter depicting the Roman author in his study at his desk; he has just started writing the first sentence of the last chapter of his book liber XX caput 11 on the role of papyrus in front of him; we read: 'P. Lavinii liber est non'; in front of Gellius are burning oil lamps; through the window one sees a moonlit Athens. Title in red and black. Engraved scene of a walled city presumably Athens on the title Condition: Vellum age-toned somewhat soiled and scratched. Small stain on the frontcover. Front flyleaf and the prize gone. Front joint partly split. Small stamp on the title. Some foxing Note: The 'Noctes Atticae' of the Roman author Aulus Gellius ca. A.D. 130 - ca. 180 contain many delightful scenes which he collected during his student days at Athens. The 'Attic Nights' is in fact a 'collection of mainly short chapters dealing with a great variety of topics: philosophy history law grammar literary criticism textual questions and many others'. . 'the great usefulness of the Noctes Atticae is derived from the preservation of countless fragments of earlier writers'. OCD 2nd ed. p. 460 � The editions of classical writers of Latin prose produced by the Dutch scholar of German origin Johann Friedrich Gronov 1611-1671 mark a epoch in the study of Livy the Senecas Tacitus and Gellius. Sandys 2319/21 He published his first Gellius edition in 1651 which is praised by Fabricius/Ernesti as 'emendatissimam'. Johann Friedrich was appointed 'professor eloquentiae' at the 'Athenaeum Illustre' of Deventer in 1642. Here he started a period of continuous and fruitful scholarly activity. In 1658 he came to Leiden to succeed Daniel Heinsius as professor of Greek and History. In 1687 the son of Johann Friedrich Jacobus Jakob Gronovius 1645-1716 who was professor of classics at Leiden from 1679 till his death produced a new edition of his father's Gellius. He added to it the commentary written by his father at an earlier date. This commentary only covers the books I-IX. In 1706 Jacobus Gronovius published another revised and augmented edition. It contains a great number of observations of Antony Thys or Antonius Thysius ca. 1603-1665 professor of 'Poiesis' of the University at Leiden and Jacobus Oiselius 1631-1686 and Johannes Fredricus Gronovius the father of Jacobus. It offers also the collations of 2 manuscripts made by the German scholar Kasper Schoppe or Gasparus Scioppius 1599-1649. Jacobus Gronovius received those collations he tells in the 'Dedicatio' from the Italian publisher/librarian Antonio Magliabechi 1633-1714 who possessed a Gellius edition once owned and annotated by Schioppius. 'Scias' writes Magliabechi to Gronovius 'igitur servari in mea Bibliotheca . Gellium ipsa Scioppii manu adnotatum & variantibus lectionibus non uno in loco illustratum'. p. 4 recto This edition also offers some 'excerpta' from the corrections of the Belgian latinist Louis Carrion or Ludovicus Carrio 1547-1595 who had published a Gellius edition in 1585 in Paris Provenance: The stamp on the title reads: 'P.C. Molhuijsen'. Philipp Christiaan Molhuijsen 1870-1944 is best known as chief librarian of the Royal Library at The Hague as editor of the Correspondence of Grotius and editor of the NNBW the 'Nieuw Nederlandsch Biographisch Woordenboek'. He studied classics in Leyden and published in 1896 a dissertation 'De tribus Homeri Odysseae codicibus antiquissimis'.

GENERAL ALFRED E. BRADLEY CHIEF SURGEON AEF
1916 - 1917 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF FOUR 4 MANUSCRIPT WORLD WAR I HANDWRITTEN DIARIES 2 AND CHECK BOOKS 2 FOLLOWING THE CHIEF SURGEON OF THE AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES FIRST AS MILITARY OBSERVER IN ENGLAND BEFORE THE ENTRY OF AMERICA UNTIL THE END
ENGLAND UK GREAT BRITAIN FRANCE. Very Good. 1916. On offer is an original small archive of four 4 ephemeral items including: two 2 note pad style diaries and two 2 check books with stubs and unused checks all being handwritten and having belonged to General Alfred E. Bradley 1864-1922 Chief Surgeon of the American Expeditionary Force in France during WW1. This archive relates to his serving as a military observer in England during 1916 and1917 just prior to U.S. entrance into war through to the War's end. Historians and collectors of the era will recognize the uniqueness of original material from high ranking officers. The first diary dated "Trip July-Aug. 1916 and has a French stamp on the cover. Bradley has signed his name in pencil on the cover "Bradley". It starts out seeming to be an accounting book but morphs into cryptic notes made covering various subjects including medicine dosages prisoners etc. perhaps notes to jog his memory later. Here are snippets from the first: "Off. auxiliary part of 29th C.S. Georgina Court. 6 A. S. in operation _ to train 500 wounds received in previous riding adjacent 18:20 and German prisoners.

As to the check books the first is from The Seaboard National Bank and contains some unused checks including notations all in Bradley's hand of checks he used and the purposes for the checks the period is from March 1917 through Feb. 1918. An unused 2 cent stamp is taped in the front cover. The second check book is similar covering the period from July 1917 through May 1918. Bradley apparently used these check in France and there are two unused checks from the Farmers Loan & Trust Co. located in Paris. Again notations on the stubs of those checks he used indicating their use including one "advance for uniform". BIO NOTES: Bradley was born in N.Y. and graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1887. He entered the Army Medical Corps in 1888 as a 1st Lt. and Asst. Surgeon at Fort Slocum. He then spent most of his early career out West at Fort Omaha Nebraska and Fort Sully South Dakota and was involved in the Sioux uprising at the Rose Bud Indian Agency. As Captain in 1893 he served at Forts Custer and Yellowstone. During the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection Bradley served on a hospital ship that traveled to Cuba Puerto Rico Gibraltar Japan and Hawaii. He was Attending Surgeon in the Philippines and later Commanding Officer of the Division Hospital in the Philippines. In May 1916 prior to America's entrance into WW1 then Colonel Bradley was sent to England as a Military Observer while Wilson "kept us out of war" he was not stupid to think we would stay out of war and wanted to be prepared in all aspects including military medical. When the U.S. finally entered the war in April 1917 Bradley was promoted to Brigadier General and became Chief Surgeon of the American Expeditionary Force in France. He became ill before the close of the war and returned stateside in 1918 but was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal for his services abroad. He retired from the military in 1920 and died in 1922. His son Major General Follett Bradley was the Commanding General First Air Force in 1942.

Collection of Three General Orders
Washington DC: War Department Adjutant General's Office 1862. Handbills. 12mo. Very good to near fine. One is 4-punched at left edge not affecting text. Unusual gathering of three Wisconsin-related "General Orders" issued in 1862 1863 and 1864 all issued from the Adjutant General's Office at the War Department in Washington DC as follows: General Orders No. 217 30 December 1862 1p Notes three miscellaneous actions for three individual servicemen the last of which involves 2d Lieutenant Samuel B. Morse of the 7th Wisconsin Volunteers who resigned before the order dismissing him. General Orders No. 11 10 January 1863 1p dismissing Colonel R.C. Murphy of the 8th Wisconsin Volunteers from the Army "for allowing his command to be surprised at Holly Springs Mississippi without having taken proper steps to protect his post or repulse the enemy and his troops having been found in bed at the time of attack." General Orders No. 211 15 June 1864 1p text of a Congressional resolution "tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red River by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands where the company clerks would collect them hence the occasional file holes. A great many were destroyed during the course of the war and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown

Starkey was found guilty of most of the charges and sentenced "To be cashiered and to be forever disqualified from holding any office of trust or profit under the Government of the United States" -- this latter sentence commuted by President Lincoln who always believed in giving someone a second chance. Signed in type at the conclusion by Townsend as Assistant Adjutant General. General Orders were usually made in modest quantities for distribution to the various army commands where the company clerks would collect them hence the occasional file holes. A great many were destroyed during the course of the war and original examples of most survive in surprisingly few copies. War Department, Adjutant General's Office unknown
