1542ref. 002002Lyon Lugdunum: Apud Seb. Gryphium Sébastien Gryphe 1542. Hardcover. Good. First Gryphius Edition with Rabirius Commentaries. Octavo 157 x 100 mm. pp. 221 2 blanks 1 terminal printer's device leaf. Signatures: a-o complete. Features Gryphe's famous woodcut device on the title page depicting a winged griffin on a plinth repeated as a large device on the final terminal leaf. Elegant humanistic italic type used throughout. Bound in full contemporary vellum with blind-stamped titles to the spine; in good condition with some natural age-toning and light bubbling to the vellum surface but structurally sound and completely unrestored. Internally there are old water stains present to many pages becoming slightly more noticeable in the latter half; however the paper remains stable and all text is perfectly legible. A highly desirable untouched survival of a 16th-century schoolbook notoriously prone to destruction by its student users. Very Rare in period vellum. This landmark Renaissance syntax textbook represents a secret collaboration of humanism. Originally drafted by William Lily St. Paul's School at the request of Dean John Colet it was heavily revised and polished by Erasmus. Out of mutual modesty both scholars initially declined sole credit though it ultimately circulated under Erasmus's name across Europe. This scarce 1543 Lyon printing is enhanced by the extensive classical commentaries of the French jurist Junien de Rabiers Junius Rabirius. Apud Seb. Gryphium (Sébastien Gryphe) hardcover

ref. elala2775Amsterdam: ‘Aux Dépens De La Compagnie’ 1734. First Edition Illustrated by Bernard Picart. The first part of the work was written by reformer Erasmus Alberus who selected for critical assessment the most ‘blasphemous’ passages from the De Conformitate Vitae Beati Francisci ad Vitam Domini Jesu of Bartolomeo degli Albizzi. It was originally published anonymously as Der barfusser Monche Eulenspiegel und Alkoran in Wittenberg in 1542 with a preface by Martin Luther. The French translation by Calvinist printer Conrad Badius who erroneously attributed the whole work to Luther was published in Geneva in 1556. In his second edition 1560 Bade acknowledged his error and added a continuation. The present edition is distinguished by twenty-two fine copper engravings by Bernard Picart. The frontispiece to Volume I is composed of satirical emblems and the second folding plate depicts the mystical tree whose leaves contain the forty points of comparison between the lives of St. Francis and Jesus Christ. These two volumes are sometimes found with another work by Nicolas Vignier entitled Légende dorée ou Sommaire De L’Histoire des frères Mendians de l’Ordre de St. Dominique et de S.

A beautiful example of Erasmus' satiric essay a landmark publication in Renaissance Europe. In Praise of Folly is credited with helping to sow the future ideas of the Protestant Reformation as it parodies many superstitions of the Catholic Church. Erasmus' essay is a perfect example of dry and biting wit rich with metaphor and layered puns. Joints neatly touched up a small darkened spot on the front board. G. Haas, ex Officina J.J.

Unica menda, un antico segnalibro violaceo ha trasferito un poco di colore alla prima ed alle ultime due carte, successivamente sbiancate in prossimità della striscia (ormai appena visibile). Malgrado ciò, l'opera è in bello stato di conservazione ed ottimamente fruibile. Di indubbio valore e rarità.

[2]-570 pp, 1 pl. dépl, Demi-veau glacé postérieur, dos lisses et fleuronnés, pièces de titre et de tomaison havane, tranches marbrées, Première édition française de cet ouvrage majeur par le grand père de Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). Cette somme, où se mêlent médecine, biologie et philosophie naturelle, avec certaines intuitions évolutionnistes, a été publiée à l'origine en 1794-1796 (Zoonomia; or the laws of organic life. 2 vols. London, J. Johnson). Le texte est illustré de onze planches, dont cinq en couleurs, qui représentent des expériences de persistence rétinienne et des inventions - ou appareil améliorés - de l'auteur : une machine thérapeutique à décharge électrostatique, consistant en une planchette et deux tubes de verre; un fauteuil orthopédique; une boîte à brosse circulaire pour pulvérisation de quinquina et de céruse dans le traitement de la phtisie; et un "lit de repos mobile à roues", envisagé pour faire tourner les malades afin de les endormir. Erasmus Darwin, inventeur, poète et pionnier en médecine, s'est préoccupé de philosophie naturelle et s'est intéressé aux recherches et inventions contemporaines. Il conçut un moulin à vent horizontal, une charrue améliorée, une pompe rotative ou encore une machine parlante. Il travailla aussi sur la turbine à vapeur, les toilettes, les élévateurs de canal et les télescopes. Il explora encore la formation des nuages, décrivit la photosynthèse et défendit un traitement humain des maladies mentales (Heirs of Hippocrates n° 998). On le considère comme un théoricien précoce de l'évolution : il postulait que la reproduction sexuelle est au coeur des changements et des progrès de l'évolution, tant chez les humains que chez les plantes. Son célèbre descendant déclara toutefois que la théorie d'Erasmus n'avait pas eu d'effet sur L'Origine des espèces (Laniel-Musitelli) : toutefois, Charles Darwin reconnaissait l'intérêt des travaux de son aïeul, en admettant notamment qu'il était "curieux de voir combien le docteur Erasme Darwin, [son] grand-père, dans sa Zoonomia (...), a devancé Lamarck dans ses idées et ses erreurs"*.

Aux dépens de la Compagnie Amsterdam 1734 10.50 x 17 cm deux tomes reliés en deux volumes First illustrated edition of a work that was initially published in 1542 in Wittenberg. 2 frontispieces and 21 engravings by Bernard Picard representing hagiographical episodes from the life of Saint Francis.

Series of hatchings on the leading edges. Edges gilt. Spines slightly faded. Handsome binding quite rare. Famous pamphlet particularly violent against the book by Barthelemy de Pise which highlighted the similarities between the life of Jesus Christ and the life of Saint Francis. The book begins with a preface by Conrad Badius and Martin Luther very insulting towards the Papists and Cordeliers. The work is in Latin and French it reprises the hagiographical account of Saint Francis while adding footnotes and extremely severe and virulent criticisms. More generally the book is a direct attack against Catholics by Protestants accusing them of heresies abominations satanism. « Car il ce livre est tel que quand hommes et diables dégorgeraient leurs poisons exécrables tous contre Dieu ils n'en sauraient plus dire qu'un moine seul en a osé écrire » For it this book is such that when men and devils would pour out all their execrable poisons against God they could not say more than what one monk alone has dared to write Conrad Badius.
