From the Campana collection with this 16th century handwritten ex-libris "Jacobi Campana et Amicorum 1530". In total three texts bound in one 8vo volume 148 x 100 mm of: I/ 184 ll. the last one blank; II/ 28 ll. ; III/ 1 title-page 148 pp. 10 pp. of index 1 bl.p. Numerous handwritten notes on the last 2 ll. of the 1st text. Bound in blind-stamped pigskin over wooden boards brass clasps. Contemporary binding. Collection in quite rare and very early editions of 3 important founding works of the Renaissance in philology and grammar by Erasmus and by his master Laurent Valla. Laurent Valla "the greatest humanist of the first half of the 15th century" was born in Rome around 1407. Guilio Vallese. "Deeply convinced of the superiority of the antique culture renewed at the time in which he saw an incomparable ferment of regeneration Valla in order to defend it didn't hesitate to take the chance of being condemned in front of the Inquisition court. As other humanists of this time he claimed to be of the rationalist moral antique transmitted in the books of Wisdom when the Middle Ages had impoverished or lost the very meaning of it." Valla's most famous treatise "Des élégances de la langue latine"that had most contributed to his reputation in six books was quickly given in every school and kept on being a teaching text for the greatest part of the 16th century. Erasmus who professes many times in his letters a vivacious admiration for the author and for this particular work had made in his youth an extract for his personal use which was printed twice without his consent. Valla's observations are about the value of certain forms of words about the value of several difficult terms and even more about the synonymy of the Latin language. This work proves a great sagacity of researches and a great judgment. "King Alphonse who really liked this kind of studies didn't get tired of hearing Valla and let him sometimes battling with Antoine de Parlerme "inde ivae". He gave him a diploma enriched with a golden speech bubble in which he declared him illustrious in almost every science as well as in poetics." Are joined to this major work of Valla the two great founding texts it inspired to Erasmus: -The first one De Conscribendis epistolis in the second edition from Strasbourg of 1525. It was such a success that it was after this one reprinted 77 times in the 16th century alone. -The second one De Constructione octo partium orationis libellus printed for the first time in 1514 is here in the edition printed on August 11th 1523 at Sigismon Grim. It was followed by 61 editions in the 16th century alone. A magnificent copy with wide margins preserved in its first blind-stamped binding; the clasps and ties are intact. It comes from the collections Jacob Campana and Gaspar Campana and bears these two handwritten ex-libris "Jacobi Campanae et Amicorum 1530" and "Gaspari Campanae et Amicorum". The Campanas illustrious Neapolitan family counted César Campana among their members a fine erudite from the 16th century. FRANCAIS Erasme et son maître Laurent Valla : trois uvres fondatrices de la Renaissance conservées dans leur première reliure estampée à froid. Strasbourg 1523 1525. Cologne 1525. De la bibliothèque Campana avec cet ex-libris manuscrit du XVIe siècle " Jacobi Campana et Amicorum 1530 ". Soit trois textes reliés en un volume in-8 de I/ 184 ff. le dernier blanc ; II/ 28 ff. ; III/ 1 p. de titre 148 pp. 10 pp. d'index 1 p.bl. Nombreuses annotations manuscrites sur les 2 derniers ff. du 1er texte. Relié en peau de truie estampée à froid sur ais de bois dos à nerfs attaches et fermoirs de laiton. Reliure de l'époque. 148 x 100 mm. Réunion en éditions fort rares et très précoces de trois grands textes fondateurs de la Renaissance en philologie et grammaire d'Erasme et de son maître Laurent Valla. Laurent Valla " le plus grand humaniste de la première moitié du XVe siècle " naquit à Rome vers 1407. Guilio Vallese. " Profondément convaincu de la supériorité de la culture antique alors renaissante dans laquelle il voyait un ferment incomparable de régénération Valla pour la défendre n'hésita pas à courir le risque d'une condamnation devant le tribunal de l'Inquisition. Comme d'autres humanistes de ce temps il se réclamait de l'antique morale rationaliste transmise dans les livres de la Sagesse dont le Moyen Age avait appauvri ou perdu la signification même. " Le traité le plus célèbre de Valla qui avait le plus contribué à sa réputation" Des élégances de la langue latine " en six livres se répandit rapidement dans toutes les écoles et continua de faire texte d'enseignement pendant la plus grande partie du XVIe siècle. Erasme qui professe en beaucoup d'endroits de ses lettres une vive admiration pour l'auteur et pour cet ouvrage en particulier en avait fait dans sa jeunesse un extrait pour son usage qui fut imprimé deux fois sans son consentement. Les observations de Valla portent sur la valeur de certaines formes de mots sur celle de plusieurs termes difficiles et plus encore sur les synonymies de la langue latine. Ce travail atteste une grande sagacité de recherches et un rare discernement. " Le roi Alphonse auquel ce genre d'études plaisait singulièrement ne se lassait pas d'entendre Valla et le mettait quelquefois aux prises avec Antoine de Parlerme " inde ivae ". Il lui donna un diplôme enrichi d'une bulle d'or dans laquelle il le déclarait illustre en presque toutes les sciences ainsi qu'en la poétique. " Sont joints à cette uvre phare de Valla les deux grands textes fondateurs qu'elle inspire à Erasme : -Le premier De Conscribendis epistolis dans la seconde édition strasbourgeoise de 1525. Son succès fut tel qu'elle fut après celle-ci réimprimée 77 fois pour le seul XVIe siècle. -Le second texte De Constructione octo partium orationis libellus imprimé pour la première fois en 1514 est ici dans l'édition achevée d'imprimer le 11 août 1523 chez Sigismon Grim. Elle fut suivie de 61 éditions pour le seul XVIe siècle. Magnifique exemplaire à belles marges conservé dans sa première reliure estampée à froid dont les fermoirs et les attaches sont conservés intacts. Il provient des bibliothèques Jacob Campana et Gaspar Campana et porte ces deux ex-libris manuscrits " Jacobi Campanae et Amicorum 1530 " et " Gaspari Campanae et Amicorum ". Les Campana illustre famille napolitaine comptèrent parmi leurs membres César Campana fin lettré du XVIe siècle. Iohannem Heruagium.

Willems 552; Rahir 546; USTC 1027918. For the binding: Culot "Jean Claude Bozerian" Roulette 9 Plate I and Palette 12 Plate X. Just barely perceptible rubbing to joints and extremities one leaf with tiny burn hole affecting a couple of words intermittent minor foxing negligible ink spots here and there other trivial imperfections but an extremely attractive copy the text fresh and clean and the very well-preserved binding with lustrous leather and bright gilt. This is a remarkably pretty copy of an extremely influential but generically elusive work printed by a legendary press and bound by the founder of a celebrated French binding dynasty. First published in 1524 the "Colloquia" comprise 63 conversations originally written for Erasmus' students on varied and overlapping topics but these urbane meditations soon became widely read as they covered subjects that intrigued the important thinkers of the day. Their influence was so profound that it is not saying too much to claim that they helped to speed the Reformation. Although they are difficult to classify precisely one could categorize them as including in general terms exposure of ritualistic fallacies invective against corruption within the church examination of popular imposture deploring of contemporary personal sins practical advice for laymen and miscellaneous discussion of amusing topics. In specific terms the text takes on such controversial topics as the value of pilgrimage celibacy and abstinence from meat on Fridays and other prescribed days. Erasmus' "Colloquia" was frequently published by the Elzeviers once in French and a total of nine times in Latin. The text was universally adopted for school use up through the 18th century. Although our lovely little binding is unsigned Culot firmly identifies its tools as those used by Jean-Claude Bozerian 1762-1840. He was the elder of the Bozerian brothers François is referred to as "le jeune" and was active in Paris from 1795 to about 1810. He began his career in Lyon as an apprentice bookseller printer and bookbinder eventually deciding to focus on the latter craft. Marriage to the widow of binder Pierre Boulier allowed him to establish a binding workshop in Paris where he was joined by his brother. His bindings were soon much in demand by French bibliophiles who appreciated their superior materials tasteful design and flawless execution--all characteristics that are plainly evident in the present case.
