‎De Natura Rerum et Temporum Ratione. Libri Duo. Nunc recens inventi & in lucem editi‎

‎16 p.l. 74 leaves. Folio later vellum-backed boards foot of spine defective occasional light soiling & dampstaining. Basel: H. Petri 1529. First edition of the two texts together. The De Temporum Ratione is a significant book in several ways. Most notably "this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 not 'in the 16th year of the reign of George V' or 'in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome' or in the '2nd year of the 481st Olympiad' we are indebted to the Venerable Bede."-Printing & the Mind of Man 16n. "Bede's greatest practical effect was on the Western calendar. His decisions beginning the year calculation of Easter names of days and months calculations of eras and so forth in most instances finally determined usage that was only refined not changed by Gregorian reform."-D.S.B. I p. 565. "The De Ratione Temporum first published in 1505 is particularly important. It contains a remarkable theory of tides based upon Pliny but also upon personal observation; first mention of the establishment of a port i.e. the mean interval between the moon's meridian passage and high water following; this interval is different in different ports."-Sarton I p. 511. Pierre Duhem described Bede's establishment of a port as the only original formulation of nature to be made in the West for some eight centuries. This is the first printing of De Natura Rerum which contains such physical science as was then known. It collects the wisdom of the ancient world on these subjects and has the special merit of referring phenomena to natural causes. It contains a particularly important section - the "De Comptu vel Loquela digitorum" - which is "our main almost our only source for the study of mediaeval finger reckoning or symbolism."-Sarton I pp. 510-11. See also Smith History of Mathematics II p. 200. This work was edited by Johannes Sichardt 1499-1552 professor of law who during the years 1526-30 lived in Basel and while teaching also edited and prepared for printing Latin manuscripts he had found in libraries in monasteries. He also served as adviser to the Basel printers Cratander Bebel and Henricus Petri. Good copy preserved in a box. Early signature of "Mallarii" on title with motto in Greek. Armorial bookplate dated 1915 of Bishop's College Cheshunt an Anglican theological college that closed in 1968. ❧ Sichardt: Bietenholz ed. Contemporaries of Erasmus Vol. III p. 247. hardcover books‎

The blanks date from the time of the binding but the text is otherwise wholly complete and original the binding is handsome though its age is evident and there was restoration some time ago to the hinges the front of which is also strengthened from within. VERY RARE FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH OF THE FIRST AND GREATEST WORK OF ENGLISH HISTORY BY THE FATHER OF ENGLISH HISTORY. RARE IN COMPLETE STATE when one reads the catalogue entries of copies in even some of the worlds most prestigious institutions one finds descriptions of missing signatures facsimile titles or entire sections excised to be quite the norm. This copy but for its probable early 19th century blank flies and endpapers is wholly intact and in a truly exceptional state of preservation.<br> The Venerable Bede's title of "The Father of English History" is well deserved. He was England’s greatest historian in the Middle Ages. His greatest work is the Historia Ecclesiastica here in its first English edition. It is an ecclesiastical history of the English people. Bede begins with Caesar’s invasion in 55 BCE and St. Alban’s martyrdom in Roman Britain tracks the spread of Christianity following St. Augustine’s mission to England in 597 and provides an account of critical events such as the Council of Whitby which decided that Roman rather than Celtic Christian customs would be followed in Britain.<br> Bede drew on the many manuscripts in the Jarrow monastery’s outstanding library and correspondents provided him materials. He was a diligent scholar and properly credited his sources. To the benefit of historical scholarship Historia Ecclesiastica spread widely throughout Europe in the Middle Ages with some 160 manuscripts still surviving. Not long after his death he became known as the Venerable Bede. His was one of the first printed history books published in Latin in Strasbourg about 1475. Highly popular on the Continent and in Britain it was reprinted in 1500 1506 and 1514.<br> Due to its strong association with Catholicism this first translation into the English tongue was published in Antwerp as the book was then prohibited in England as traitorous. Stapleton was educated in Oxford where he became a fellow in 1553. On Queen Elizabeth’s accession he left England to study theology in Louvain and Paris. His translation of Bede was his first of many fine works. Stapleton used Bede’s history to remind the reader that “we Englishmen also these many hundred of years kept and preserved sound and whole the precious perle of right faith and belefe†and he admonished that “after we forsooke the first paterne off the Christen faith delievered to us we have fallen in to plenty of heresies.†He added that the Venerable Bede a most reliable source describes many miracles that occurred in Britain under the true faith. Stapleton's translation has been called an "enduring contribution to this sparkling collection of recusant prose" -DNB <br> This is also a copy of fine and established provenience. It was formerly owned by the renown historian and antiquary Roger Twysden whose ownership signature is dated 1648. Having been caught up in civil war strife Twysden retired to his seat Roydon Hall and devoted himself to his study and writings particularly on early English histories and monasticism. His collection passed to Sir John Sebright who sold the main portion at auction in 1807. Much of Twysden's collection later passed to Sir John Sebright whose fine engraved armorial plate is afixed to the front paste-down. The present binding was likely made while the book was in Sebright's possession. <br> Contrary to the implications of Stapleton's edition of Bede Twysden's Historical vindication of the Church of England 1657 argued that it was the Church of England rather than Rome which had held fast to the true faith and that the pope's powers over England gained gradually over the centuries had been submitted to voluntarily out of love not duty for the archbishop of Canterbury had no mediate superior but only Christ and God see Jessup Sir Roger Twysden pp. 192-5. Completed in 731 Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum is 'probably one of the most popular history books in any language and has certainly retained it popularity longer than any rival. The enthusiasm shown for his writings in the eighth century by English missionaries on the Continent such as Boniface Lul and others led to the spread of knowledge of his works not only in England but also in western Europe . . . . From then on as the spread of his manuscripts shows the History became popular all over western Europe and 160 of them survive today in spite of all the wars and other dangers to which manuscripts are always subject' Colgrave & Mynors p. xvii. It was first printed c. 1475 at Strasbourg PMM 16. 'Bede provided for over a thousand years and to a large extent still provides nearly all the knowledge available of the early history of England. His Historia is the only work other than parts of the Bible which has been read by every English generation from his own day to the present. It has the power to move and to convey something of the personality of its author to a degree which has called forth not only admiration but a kind of affection' Oxford DNB. John Laet hardcover‎

‎VENERABILIS BEDAE Presbyteri Theologi doctissimi in Sanctum Iesu Christi Secundum IOHANNEM EUANGELIUM EXPOSITIO LUCULENTISSIMA Bede's Exposition of the Gospel of John‎

‎Michaelis Vascosani Michel Vascosan 1539. Leather. NEAR FINE. 4 218pp. 9 Index. Folio in 6's collation complete: 2 A3-T6 2. Vulgate text printed in larger font with woodcut drop caps marginal references. Nicely bound in recent vellum with hand-written spine title in a convincing antiquarian hand. Some light staining to the edges small wormhole to top margin toward the gutter not affecting text; else FINE internally; a nice fresh copy. Bede the Venerable was one of the greatest minds of the Middle Ages and his immense learning is on full display in this commentary on the Fourth Gospel drawing on the church fathers as well as interlocating Old Testament and intertextual references. Bede had a particular devotion to the Johnannine gospel; his translation of the Vulgate into Old English is held as the first vernacular translation. The value of this particular edition is due to its significance in the history of printing. Vascosan set up his press 1530 under the banner of his father in law the famed printer Badius and adorned his title pages with the Badius printer's device through the decade. For reasons unclear possibly a dispute with relatives sharing an interest in the firm in 1539 Vascosan stopped using the Badius device. Rather than cut his own device Vascosan simply printed his title pages without one remarkably becoming the first printer to forego this branding tool that was so essential to printer differentiation in an age when books were sold without bindings. While his motivations at the outset are unclear it may have been simply needing to sell some books before a proper device could be cut he took a liking to it and maintained this style throughout his career. Today he is remembered as a pioneer of this 'unadorned elegance of his editions' Oxford Companion to the Book p. 1238. His text-only title pages were 'a harbinger of a new approach to title pages. Vascosan’s decision flew in the face of the Parisian and more generally European book-trade where printers’ devices had played a vital role in the identification and marketing of printers’ and booksellers’ output. He was trail-blazing a new method of promoting his works – a minimalist style which would challenge the use of ornate devices so popular among the first generation of Parisian printers and booksellers. Coupled with his rejection of a printer’s device was what one might call his ‘purification’ of the title page for his title pages are incredibly simple in style the whiteness of the paper dominating. Henri-Jean Martin wittily calls this ‘the graphic mode’ of ‘solemnization of the title page’ as opposed to the second ‘monumental mode’ which by the end of the sixteenth century became saturated with symbols and architectural motifs.' Exhibition Catalog 'Printing in Sixteenth-Century France at the Edward Worth Library.' While we cannot speculate on the priority of printings within the year 1539 we can say that no other copies of a 1539 Vascosan imprint are available in trade at this time and only one appears in auction records.
