Gilt inner dentelle. All edges gilt. Third edition of Scaliger's famous recension of this instructional poem on astronomy written in the first century. "[Scaliger's] penetrating scholarship and powerful gift of analysis were magisterially demonstrated in his edition of one of the most difficult of Latin texts, the 'Astronomica' of Manilius, and this was a forerunner to his greatest work [namely 'De emendatione temporum']" (PMM, p. 59f.). The commentary (pp. 473-510, with letterpress Arabic) contains one of the earliest European studies of Arabic star names ("De quarundam stellarum arabicis appellationibus"). This edition was first published by Estienne in 1579; the first part of the present edition had already appeared in the previous year (cf. Adams M 364, Graesse IV, 364 & Houzeau/L. 1037). - Binding professionally repaired at extremeties. Rebound in the 19th century, trimming the edges fairly closely, touching some of the diagrams.

15864to. (12), 214 ff. With numerous woodcut initials and 12 woodcuts in the text. 18th-c. marbled calf with label to gilt spine. All edges red. Rare first Spanish edition. The "Martyrologium romanum" was newly edited by Cardinal Baronius in 1584 after the calendar reforms of Pope Gregory XIII. The 1586 edition published in Rome is rare, as well, as the author had most copies called back after he had been made aware of mistakes owing to his poor command of Greek. He corrected the work and issued it once more in Antwerp in 1589, in Rome in 1598, and in Paris in 1607" (cf. Wetzer/W. I, 2038). Another edition of the uncorrected first version was printed in Venice in 1587 (cf . ibid. I, 181). This present Spanish translation by the Jesuit Dionysio Vazquez can only be a largely unknown version based on the uncorrected original and is illustrated with 12 little woocuts (one for each month). Extremely rare; only an incomplete copy in OCLC (Newberry Library; last f. supplied in ms.). Collation shows departures from Palau ([13], 278, [2] ff.), but complete without an index. Later editions (published until the 18th century) are probably based on the revised text. - Contemp. ms. ownership note "Juan Igancio de Fuentes" on t. p.; signature of the Spanish composer Joan Pacheco Montion ("maestro de catedral" in 1684; cf. ABEPI I 696, 87) on final leaf. Palau² 156.585. De Backer/Sommervogel VIII, 488. Not in BM-STC Spanish. Not in Adams.
4to. (156) pp. Disbound. "Mainly an elucidation of part of the second book of the Prognostica of Hippocrates" (Durling). From fol. O1r onwards, this contains Emerich's treatise "an urinarum vel pulsum observatio certiores notas salutis vel mortis medico praebeat". The Verona physician Giambattista da Monte (1498-1551) was one of the most famous practical medical men of his time (cf. Hirsch IV, 271). - Insignificant edge defects to final leaf; a clean and wide-margined copy. Very rare; no copy in the trade since 1950 internationally. VD 16, M 6260 (E 1053).

8vo. (96) pp. With arabesque woodcut border to title and 94 woodcuts by Bernard Salomon in the text. - (Bound with) II: Borluyt, Guillaume. Historiarum memorabilium ex Exodo, sequentibusq[ue], libris descriptio. Ibid., 1558. (144) pp. With arabesque woodcut border to title and 136 woodcuts by Bernard Salomon in the text. 19th century full purple morocco on five raised bands, title gilt to spine, leading edges and inner dentelle gilt. Marbled endpapers. Top edge gilt. First Latin editions, previously published in French (as "Quadris historiques de la Bible") in 1555. Each page contains four verses describing a scene from the Old Testament, accompanied by a delicately executed illustration (94 from Genesis, 77 from Exodus, and 59 from other books: a total of 230 woodcuts). Brunet gives 134 (instead of 136) woodcuts for the second book, remarking: "cette suite est fort jolie et fort recherchée". The fine series of illustrations shows the influence of Holbein and Beham, and yet is stylistically independent; "c'est l'oeuvre capitale de Bernard Salomon" (Rondot). There is no preliminary matter to the first book, but the second contains a preface and verses by Borlyut. - Occasional browning; title of first book torn and rebacked; several large tears and paper flaws throughout have been professionally repaired with minimal loss to text. Pages were washed and (in some case excessively) pressed before rebinding. All woodcuts are in good impressions. Provenance: bookplate of the Swiss minister Gaspard Ernest Stroehlin (1844-1907), professor of church history at the University of Geneva; below this slightly later bookplate of G. Velmay.

4to. (6), 92 ff. With armorial title woodcut, 12 folding engraved plates and several woodcut initials. Contemporary limp vellum with handwritten title to bottom edge. First edition. - A major study on the ancient Roman army, based on the author's reading of Polybius, Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus. Patrizi posits that the art of warfare is the basis of peace and human happiness. His benchmark are the Romans, whose army he views as superior to all others - in particular that of the Ottomans: if the Christian armies could only emulate the military forces of ancient Rome, he writes, they need not fear the Turks. The only modern army to come close to this ideal, he feels, was that of Duke Alfonso I d'Este gelungen, whose methods of fortification and siegecraft were exemplary. It is therefore perhaps little surprise that Patrizi dedicates his work to Alfonso II d'Este, the ruler of Ferrara and the grandson of Alfonso I. The engravings show military formations and camps, individual legionaries, attack formations, etc. - Binding repaired with modern endpapers. A good copy with very insignificant traces of worming to the title and the final two leaves, as well as a few repaired edge defects. BM-STC Italian 493. Adams P 437. Edit 16, CNCE 47279.

4to. 67, (1) pp. With a figural woodcut initial. Marbled wrappers. First edition of this rare treatise on human action and the voluntariness of man's ethical dispositions: "an investigation of whether the formation of a virtuous or vicious habit is due to our freedom of choice. The treatise is divided into fourteen chapters and begins with a doxographical survey in which the Aristotelian position is opposed to the doctrines of the Stoics and the Platonists. What these latter positions have in common, according to Porzio, is that they both deny the complex nature of the human being, which he forcefully depicts as inescapably composed of both rationality and materiality. His analysis of the limits of human freedom touches upon Renaissance concepts of man and his place in the universe, as well as combines a distinctive approach to Aristotle’s teaching with an heterodox attitude towards divine grace" (L. Casini, "En renässansaristoteliker om den mänskliga frihetens gränser", in: Lychnos [2009], pp. 49-67, at p. 61). Porzio (1497-1554), a student of Pietro Pompanazzi and variously a writer on medical subjects, taught philosophy in Pisa and Naples. He held that the soul is the individual and corruptible form of the human body. - A finely printed work, showing some slight brownstaining throughout. From the library of the historian of medicine Walter Pagel (1898-1983). Edit 16, CNCE 34585. BM-STC Italian 537. Adams P 1957. Durling 3741.

The dolphins (four of them, in fact) are cleverly hidden within the ornaments of the woodcut border. Each play is prefixed by an unsophisticated, but prettily designed Renaissance woodcut. A few interspersions in an appealingly cut Greek type. - Slight edge tear to f. 16. Some wrinkling to gutter throughout. Faded 17th century ownership to title page.

16 pp. With an ornamental woodcut initial on the title page. Papered spine. Second edition of Sibutus's first published work, previously printed by Quentel in March 1505: a treatise on the art of memory. The humanist Sibutus (c. 1480-1528), probably from Tannroda in Thuringia, was a student of Conrad Celtis. Crowned poet laureate by Emperor Maximilian, he practised as a physician and taught rhetorics in Wittenberg, Rostock, Cologne, and Vienna. "This frequently cited and rarely discussed instruction by Sibutus contains within the space of 7½ pages so many obscure precepts, counter-productively mingled with verses by Virgil, Ovid, and others, that it must be quite incomprehensible to anyone unaccustomed with mnemonics. It is apparent that Sibutus employed a very difficult and roundabout method. So as to have no more than 36 mnemonic devices, he used the verse 'arma virumque cano' etc.; for each letter he would imagine a person whose name began with that letter etc. He does not explain how to avoid confusing these persons in case a particular letter occurs more than once" (cf. Aretin, Systematische Anleitung zur Theorie und Praxis der Mnemonik, Sulzbach 1810, p. 194ff.). More of a practitioner than a theorist, Sibutus was proficient in mnemotechnics himself: for Frederick, Elector of Saxony, he recited from memory 600 verses of his "Silvula in Albiorim", a poem praise of Wittenberg. The present volume includes two introductory poems by Johannes Murmellius and Johannes Cesarius, a dedicatory poem to the Lübeck jurist Heinrich Bucholt, as well as Sibutus's own "Carmen in vitam S. Annae". - Slight brownstaining throughout; insignificant waterstain to upper gutter. A single copy in the U.S. according to OCLC (Harvard Med. School). VD 16, S 6262. BM-STC German 812.

With two woodcut printer's devices to first and second title. 18th century half calf over marbled boards with traces of a giltstamped spine label. Only edition of this discussion of the 16th century's endless skirmishes and wars on the Ottoman-Habsburg border, posthumously published by Nicolaus Reusner during the early years of the Long Turkish War that had broken out in 1593. The humanist Johannes Sturm (1507-89) had been a friend of Melanchthon, Erasmus and Vesalius. "He established a celebrated school at Strasbourg in 1538, raised to the rank of academy by Maximilian II in 1566, and which was run according to Sturm's principle that a school was a state in miniature" (Blackmer). The anonymous printer was formerly thought to have been Donat Richtzenhan (BM), but VD 16 now identifies him as Tobias Steinmann. The three parts appear to have been issued separately, and the copies in Cambridge and the British Library comprise only the first two parts. - Some browning throughout.
