‎N.pl. Basel n.d. 1513 Colophon at the end: 'Orationes & Opuscula Philippi Beroaldi Bononiensis oratoris & poetae disertissimi finiunt foeliciter Basileae exarata Anno a partu Virginis salutifero 1513 8vo. 162 leaves. Modern half pigskin over wooden boards. 21 cm Ref: VD16 B 2135; Renouard Bibliographie des impressions et des oeuvres de Josse Badius Ascensius II p. 169 Philippus Beroaldus Varia Opuscula no. 6 Details: Modern binding antique style. On the upper board has been preserved an old original strip of vellum which bears a pattern of blindstamped 5 lozenges filled with doubleheaded aegles above their heads a crown. 3 raised bands on the back. 2 clasps & catches. 2 small contemporary inscriptions of one hand on the title both references to passages in the book: 'Asinus Asinius Pollio : 90' and ' Oeconomia : 123'; most capitals at the beginning of sentences are carefully rubricated; in the margins of the first 123 pages are written many short notes mostly catchwords with the same contemporary red ink. At the end in the same hand a kind of table of content in black ink. Occasional underlinings in red ink. According to VD16 is the printer of this book Gregor Barthelomaeus a rather obscure printer Condition: title somewhat soiled; the blank verso of the last leaf has been pasted on a blank leaf probably the flyleaf of the original. On the verso of this blank leaf is written the above mentioned table of content; faint waterstain in the upper margin of the last 18 leaves Note: This edition of smaller works of Beroaldus is a reissue of an edition of his 'Varia Opuscula' published in Basel in 1509 by Gregor Bartholomaeus and Wolfgang Lachner. This supports the assumption of VD16 that Gregor Bartholomaeus is also the publisher of this 1513 edition. In 1513 the publisher added at the end to the collection an interesting letter which Beroaldus wrote in 1505 to Erasmus Vitellius Erasmus Ciolek bishop of Plozk in Poland: 'Opusculum de terraemotu & pestilentia'. Folia 146-162 In this letter Beroaldus describes the earthquake that hit his hometown Bologna on the first of January of 1505 ea nocte quam subsecutus est dies divo Silvestro dicatus its violent aftershocks and its consequences e.g. the destruction of his own house people gone mad etc. Hora circiter undecima subitarius terraemotus cum sono terrifico factus concussit urbem nostram. f. 147 verso � This editon of 1513 consists of a collection of speeches treatises and Neolatin poetry of the Italian humanist classical scholar Filippo Beroaldo Philippus Beroaldus 1453-1505. It contains for the greater part prose i.e. speeches on classical topics and examples of oratory including some pieces of Polizziano and Ermelao Barbaro. It contains also an essay on the sentences or sayings of the Seven Wise Philosophers and an important essay on the symbolism in the doctrine of Pythagoras. We find also some declamations e.g. a witty conversation of a drunk and his friends a whore-hopper and a gambler. There is also poetry e.g 'Paeanes Beatae Mariae Virginis' which is a Latin adaptation of a number of poems of Petrarca epigrams but also verse in a lighter vein facilioris musae. All poems are surrounded by commentary. � Beroaldus was professor of literature of the University of Bologna his native city from 1472 till his death. He was widely known for his erudition. His most important contribution to scholarship are his good editions of Latin Classics. He published texts and excellent commentaries of Plinius Maior Apuleius Gellius Suetonius Catullus Propertius and Plautus editions in which he proved is vast knowledge and command of Latin literature from the patristic authors to contemporary scholars. He was one of the founders a 'of new annotative miscellanistic commentary style' His latinity was rebuked because his style resembled more that of Apuleius than of Cicero. Beroaldus compiled this collection and had it printed on the request te impulsore of 'Martinus Boemus' whom he calls in the short 'praefatio' on the verso of the title his pupil. This pupil is also known as Martinus Mares Martinus Crumloviensis. He studied 6 years under Beroaldus from 1487 till 1493. Thereupon he returned home to Krumlow in Bohemia. 'Filippo Beroaldo l'Ancien' S. Fabrizio-Coast & F. La Brasca Bern Lang 2005 p. 8. The first edition of these speeches called 'varia opuscula' was published in 1491 in Bologna and was reproduced several times by the Parisian printer Badius Ascensius. The first editions produced by Ascensius from 1505 contained only the orations of Beroaldus mostly on topics of classical philology some on contemporary history. They fill the first 61 leaves of our 1513 edition. The second part of this book begins with the collection of verse. The unknown printer probably Gregor Bartholomaeus repeats on the verso of leaf 61 in the edition of 1509 leaf 62 at the beginning of this second part simply and shamelessly the title under which Ascensius had recently published nuper the poetry in Paris. The rest the last 70 leaves of the book is filled with philosophical letters declamations and treatises of Beroaldus in Latin which were likewise borrowed from previous editions of Ascensius e.g. a declamation 'an orator sit philosopho & medico anteponendus' and other usefull subjects for humanist school education. At the very end have been added 11 p. with 'Annotationes in Galenum' because so explains Beroaldus much mention was made of Galenus in the preceding chapter on 'pestilentia'. Beroaldus must have been very popular in his time.

In the distance we see the townscape of Middelburg in the front a pile of books and the attributes of a chimney sweep; on the plates scenes of armed and angry mobs. On the verso of the title the signature of one of the publishers J. Huysman. At the end have been added 22 pages with 'adnotationes ad Georgarchontomachiae librum 1 & 2' by Petrus Rabus followed by 20 pages filled with annotations of J.B. in Dutch Condition: A light brown stain on the lower margin of 3 leaves Note: In 1672 on the 21st of july a false rumour swept over the Dutch island of Walcheren: 'The French fleet is landing'. These were combustable times called in Dutch 'het rampjaar' i.e. the year of disasters when the Dutch Republic was besieged from all quarters. At this rumour a furious mob of armed farmers invaded Middelburg the capital of the province of Zeeland. The mob assaulted and arrested city officials considered to be traitors. In the next year a mock epic concerning this historic event was published in Amsterdam 'auctore N. Autopte' i.e. by Mr. Eyewitness. In 1676 the remonstrant minister Anthony Borremans who died in 1683 a man well versed in Greek and Latin reported in the 6th chapter of his Variae Lectiones that the author was one Petrus Johannes Beronicius. He procured also a biographic sketch of this Beronicius which seems to be the starting point of a mystification. Borremans tells that he and some gentlemen J. Antonides van der Goes Dirk Buysero Johan Frederik Gymnich once ran in Middelburg into a pityful drunk who composed Latin verse incredibly fast and on the spot. He was a man of loose morals who earned his living sweeping chimneys and grinding knives. Nevertheless this dirty little fellow 'klein roetzwart rond en dik oud en slordig gekleed' who also made strange gestures was an accomplished neolatin poet. It was said that he spoke his Latin too fast even for the classical scholar J.F. Gronovius when they met. He also spoke Greek fluently and could speak judiciously and scholarly about classical authors. This wonder of the world had witnessed the revolt of the farmers and knowing his Homer very well produced extempore a burlesque epic about the event the Georgarchontomachia. In february 1673 this colourful drunk was found dead in a ditch. The classical scholar and neolatin poet Petrus Rabus 1660-1702 published in 1691 an new edition of this satyrical follow-up of the Homeric Batrachomyomachia accompanied by a translation into Dutch and annotations. He also followed the biography by Borremans. The Latin text was published and translated once again by one J.B. in 1766. J.B. also printed the biographic sketch of Borremans and added 20 pages of notes in Dutch of his own. The biographic data of this versifying chimney sweep were reproduced indiscriminately in later biographic surveys like Van der Aa and NNBW. STCN suggests that Dirk Buysero 1644-1708 a city official of the city of Vlissingen Flushing who was one of the men who met Beronicius might be the real author. There is no evidence for this. It is even improbable. Buysero did not compose one syllable of neolatin poetry. Our guess is that it might be the scholar and soldier Joan van Broekhuizen Janus Broukhusius 1649-1707 who was an intimate friend of Buysero and Van der Goes and was himself an accomplished neolatin poet and a translator. Stylistic research is needed here. A problem is that the name of J.P. Beronicius is not an invention or concoction. There exists in the city accounts of Middelburg a record of someone bearing his name for producing some occasional verses Collation: 8 22 A-L8 M1 Photographs on request hardcover‎

‎BERT A. HINDMARCH‎

‎1923 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A VERY YOUNG BOY WHO WOULD GO ON TO TEACH AT PURDUE AMONG OTHER NOTEWORTHY ACTIVITIES‎

‎INDIANA ILLINOIS. Good. 1923. On offer is a fascinating little diary written by a boy in 1923. Measuring 5 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches this slim hardbound volume has 52 diary pages and a number of additional memoranda pages. Each page is laid out as a week-at-a-glance and the diary is complete for 15 weeks mid-April. The spine of the diary is cracked but all of the pages are intact and in good condition. The writing is neat and perfectly legible. The author is Bert A. Hindmarch and as research finds some articles about a Bert A. Hindmarch we believe the one and same who was born in 1913 or 1914 making him 10/11 at the time of writing in Fort Wayne Indiana and as a child lived in East Chicago Indiana and studied at school there. He moved to Hammond in 1940s was an accountant taught at Purdue University and Calumet College was a member/chairman of different historical societies led civic groups and was called "guru" of local architecture. He died in 1989. Bert had an elder brother Alan 1908-1972 who became a professional caricaturist and commercial artist and was a president of the La Grange Art League in Illinois. Bert lives at home and goes to school daily. Geographical references seem to confirm as he notes about going to Chicago. The entries are brief - usually just one or two lines. However what makes this little diary so fascinating is that it is accompanied by small perfectly drawn and coloured line drawings illustrating the entry for that day. For example his entry on Feb 16 mentions having cabbage and ham for dinner. It is accompanied by a small coloured line drawing of a head of cabbage and a ham. Another time beside the date for Washington's birthday he has drawn and axe. A note in the Memoranda section notes that: "Nancy is thru with her fellow and likes Spencer and me. It is accompanied by a drawing of a rolling pin". There is another note saying that the illustrations were done by 'Allan' Hindmarch. This is a quirky thoroughly delightful little diary written and illustrated by a boy with a wonderful imagination.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5�" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF INDIANA EAST CHICAGO HAMMOND ILLINOIS AMERICAN TEENAGERS IN 1920S AMERICAN BOYS IN 1920S SCHOOLBOY DIARY AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUIT� CONTRAT V�LIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIG�EDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover‎
