Zweite, ergänzte Ausgabe von Münsters erstmals 1523 herausgebrachtem hebräischen Wörterbuch. "Münster begann die Reihe seiner Heidelberger hebräischen Schriften, die übrigens fast ausnahmslos bei Johann Froben in Basel gedruckt wurden, mit dem später oft überarbeiteten und neu aufgelegten Dictionarium hebraicum (1523). Drei Handschriften von 1510, 1511 und 1521 gingen voraus; eine vierte Handschrift, die dem Druck zugrunde lag, ist verlorengegangen" (Burmeister, S. 11). "Bereits 1525 erschien eine weitere Auflage, die von Münster auf den neuesten Stand der Forschung gebracht worden war, indem er das Wörterbuch aus verschiedenen perûshim und vor allem aus der 1523 in Venedig erschienenen qônqôrdansijâ des Rabbi Isaak Nathan erweiterte. Darnach erlebte es noch zahlreiche Auflagen und Erweiterungen und ist über 40 Jahre lang das bedeutendste hebräische Wörterbuch in Deutschland geblieben. Zu seiner Beliebtheit hat beigetragen, dass das Buch kurzgefasst war, handlich und mit seinem Preis von 15 Schillingen einigermaßen erschwinglich war, sich also für den täglichen Gebrauch durch Studenten und Theologen vorzüglich eignete" (Burmeister, Biogr.

1564Folio. (416) ff. Hebrew type, 4 cols. With woodcut printer's device on title page. 17th century calf with gilt spine and cover rules; gilt Jesuit device to cover. Edges tinted yellow. Rare second Venetian edition of the first Hebrew Bible concordance (first published by Bomberg in 1523), with a new Latin dedication to Maggio Parentini. Words are arranged etymologically by roots and stems; the order of the books follows that of the Vulgate. The Arles-born Rabbi Isaac Nathan ben Kalonimus (fl. 1400-48) compiled the work commonly referred to as "Meir Nativ" ("Light of the Way") between 1437 and 1447 with the twofold aim to facilitate the study of Biblical exegesis and to keep Jews who had converted to Christianity from misquoting the Bible in religious controversies (cf. Jewish Encyclopaedia). Nathan himself moved in Christian scholarly circles and participated in theological disputations with his Christian colleagues. Notably, he based his present concordance on a work compiled by the Franciscan Arlotto de Prato. Occasionally (as here) the book is falsely attributed to Isaac's nephew Mordechai Nathan. - Text ruled in red throughout; the edges' yellow paint has seeped into the margins in places. Title page somewhat brownstained; a few corner defects early on, otherwise very clean and largely unbrowned. Ms. ownership of the Jesuit college at Chambéry (Savoy), dated 1585, on title (and repeated on last leaf but one); old stamp and long bibliographical note in French (c. 1900).

Sammelband with 3 rare religious treatises, contains a series of prophecies attributed to Joachim of Fiore (12th ct.), as well as apocalyptic visions of the Franciscan friar Johann Hilten (15th ct.) in a protestant pamphlet by Andreas Engel, and finally a collection of songs and rhetorical figures by the protestant humanist Giovanni Bernardino Bonifacio (16th ct.) - Content: Present Sammelband starts with the Bertoni bilingual (Latin, Italian) edition of the »Vaticinia«, that assembles 34 elaborate full-paged engravings depicting portraits of popes in the middle of allegoric, seemingly bizarre scenes showing (pseudo-)prophecies related to them. The engraving title page shows a portrait of Fiore in the centre. The 2nd volume contains a tendentious comment of Brandenburg clergyman and historian Andreas Engel (named Angelus) of apocalyptic visions by Franciscan friar Johann Hilten, who was claimed by the protestants to have been their predecessor in the 15th ct. Engel also quotes prophecies about the fall of Papacy and of the Ottoman Empire. Finally the 3rd volume contains a collection of religious songs and rhetorical figures (epigrams, paradoxa) by the protestant Italian humanist Giovanni Bernardino Bonifacio (16th ct.), founder of the Danzig city library, edited shortly after Bonifacio's dead by Andreas Welsius. - Condition: Spine professionally restored at joints. Title page of »Vaticinia« (1) enforced at margin, one engraving with annotatios made with ink, inside in parts slightly finger and time-stained as well as minimally foxy. Bookblock cut uniformly by the binder, 3rd part with tight cut and therefore minimal loss of pagination at two leaves. - Holdings, Rarity: VD16 quotes 4 copies in Germany for »Miscellanea hymnorum« (Dresden (SLUB), Halle (ULB ), Göttingen (SUB), Wolfenbüttel (HAB), WorldCat/OCLC another additional two copies worldwide (BnF, BL); the same for »Weissagungen«: 5 copies in Germany (Dresden (SLUB), ULB (Halle), Göttingen (SUB), Weimar (HAAB), Wolfenbüttel (HAB) and one copy in Solothurn according to VD16 and WorldCat/OCLC. - References: (1) VD16 O 899; Adams J214; Hohenemser 178.

Folio (215 x 306 mm). (24), DCXV, (1) pp. Title printed in red and black. With 46 woodcut illustrations in the text (3 double-page-sized, including 11 portraits) and a folding map of Hungary. Contemporary full vellum with handwritten spine title. First edition of this fundamental historical work. The lawyer and historian Adam Henricpetri (1543-86) covers the events accompanying the end of the reign of Holy Roman Emperer Charles V. and the beginning of his brother Ferdinand I.'s reign over a period of seven years, from 1555 to 1561. The volume is considered a prominent example of 16th century historiography and the fact that the author was a contemporary of Charles V. makes it all the more authentic. Each book treats one year and informs the reader not only about the history of the Holy Roman Empire but also about Italian, French, Spanish, Hungarian, Danish, Swedish, Polish, Russian, Indian and Turkish history. The woodcut illustrations show, among other scenes, the long procession taking place for Charles V.'s funeral service in Brussels. The highlight of this service was a grand allegorical ship representing all of Charles' merits, which is shown as a double-paged illustration. The woodcuts also include a scene from the Spanish Inquisition, the Parisian parliament, some views of European cities and portraits of important persons. - Ownership by Joh. Pet.

Small 8vo (150 x 100 mm). (8), 112 ff. With the title in a woodcut border with 6 putti (without wings) and 8 fantastic beasts in and growing out of stylized foliage, incorporating Sessa's device (a cat with a mouse in its mouth) in the foot; Sessa's woodcut device (cat with a mouse in its mouth, now in a crowned wreath with initials MS) on the otherwise blank final page; 1 woodcut decorated initial (as S designed with a gap in the central stroke to accommodate the profile of a man, possibly intended as Dante). Set in an Aldine-style italic (with upright capitals).19th-century (?) sheepskin parchment , sewn on 3 recessed supports, sprinkled edges. Fourth edition (the last before 1723) of Dante's important philosophical allegory in autobiographical form, expressing his love of wisdom and knowledge personified as a beautiful lady named Philosophy, and his view that they lead to virtue and worldly happiness. Dante presents the story as a metaphorical banquet where he is content to eat the crumbs that fall from the plates of the wise: "the first extended piece of original expository prose in the Italian vernacular" (Lansing). Dante began work on it around 1304, ten years after completing his verse Vita nuova, his elevation of courtly love poetry into sacred love poetry that centred around his love for the beautiful and virtuous Beatrice, an idealized picture of a real lady of the Florentine court who died in 1590. In the intervening years he had developed a great love for philosophy, literally meaning the love of wisdom (a deep understanding of human nature and the physical universe) that leads to virtue. This idea was to infuse the Convivio. He finished only four of its projected fifteen "trattati", and never widely circulated the Convivio during his life, but it represents a turning point in his writing. It appears to have given him a new inspiration so that he set it aside around 1307 to begin work on his Divine comedy, where he returned to verse but merged his first love, the more human and religious Beatrice of the Vita nuova, with his new love, Philosophy, to create the new version of Beatrice that he honours in the Divine comedy. The first treatise introduces the story, while each of the others begins with a canzone expressing a particular aspect of Dante's love for Philosophy, followed by the main text explaining its literal and symbolic meaning. The whole therefore forms an encyclopedia of secular knowledge, intended for the education of both men and women. It also passionately pleads for the use of the Tuscan vernacular Italian at a time when learned works were usually written in Latin. The fourth book was politically subversive, proclaiming that the love Dante describes ennobles the soul, and attacking the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II's notion that nobility comes from inheritance and manners. Many elements, including the cosmology, return in the Divine comedy. - All surviving manuscripts of the Convivio are believed to derive from a single lost manuscript that was unfortunately corrupt, so the work has long been a challenge to its editors. It was first printed at Florence in 1490 under the title Convivio, the "amoroso" of the present title being added for the second edition published at Venice in 1521, emphasizing the importance of love in Dante's text. "Convivio" means banquet, but like the English convivial, its etymology (living together) gives it connotations of the pleasures of human relations. The text of the present edition follows that of 1521. - With numerous points in the text marked by a charming contemporary manuscript pointing hand in the margin. In very good condition, with only a tiny hole on the edge of the woodcut border, a small hole where the ink of one marginal pointing hand has eaten through the paper and an occasional minor spot. An unfinished work by Dante, important in its own right, as an early example of literary Italian prose and as part of the genesis of the Divine Comedy. Adams D 119. Edit 16, 1161. Gamba, Serie ...

A fine copy. 12mo contemporary polished continental calf marbled paper endpapers blind-ruled borders red morocco spine label gilt decorations and lettering a.e. stained red. Woodcut tailpieces. By the late 17th century the French government attempted to regulate all aspects of printing and the distribution of books in and around Paris. In 1686 those regulations were codified in the Édit du Roy pour le Règlement des Imprimeurs et Libraires de Paris and the Édit du Roy pour le Règlement des Relieurs et doreurs de Livres. Further revisions were made 30 years later and after some disagreements two editions of the code were published in 1723 and 1731 in the form of a decree. The code was extended to all of France in 1744 and remained in effect until 1777. This edition is a provincially printed version of the 1723 edition printed in Châlons-sur-Marne in 1735. The code is divided into 123 articles and is remarkably comprehensive in its regulation of all aspects of the trade including the import of books old and new bound and unbound and of imported printing types; books sold by subscription; requirements for the apprenticeships to booksellers and printers; the widows of booksellers and of printers; proofreaders; type founders; traveling booksellers; fairground booksellers and printers; prohibited books; auctions and inventories of libraries and bookstores et al.

After education at King's College, Aberdeen, he went to India as assistant professor of Persian and Arabic in the College of Fort William, and in 1808 succeeded to the professorship. In 1812 he was appointed secretary to the Calcutta Madrasa, and superintended various translations of English works into Persian then in progress.
