Near Fine. Norimbergae : Sumptibus Johannis Andreae Endteri, & Wolfgangi Junioris Haeredum, excudebat Jobus Hertz Typographus Herbipol. M. DC. LXIV. [1664]. Prostant Norimbergae apud dictos Endteros. First edition, 20 cm x 15.5 cm, Latin text. An imperfect copy in its contemporary vellum binding. In-4. Collation : [2 blank leaves; xl; 1044 pages; xiv; ii (publishers catalogue for Gaspar Schott); 1 blank leaf] This copy lacks: a usual half-title; pages 939 942; pages 945 946; pages 983 - 984; pages 987 990; pages1003 1006; pages 1009 - 1016 . Page 659 paginated as 643, and page 723 is paginated as 727. The plate for p. 621 is bound in at p. 521. In Part I, there are 45 plates: 42 illustrating plates plus an engraved title-page, a portrait, a coat of arms, and the one plate from Part II bound in at p. 521. In Part II there are 20 illustrating plates, for a total of 65 plates. Title-page printed in red and black letter. This copy is still bound in what is presumed to be its contemporary full vellum binding. There is a small crack at the foot of the spine, otherwise the binding is very secure. This copy came from the library of Dr. Arthur Simony, with his name stamp on the front fly-leaf, with a stamp bearing his signature, as Arthur Simony MD; and, the annotations No 25 32 and Kuppritsch [?] 1875. His name is stamped a second time in the margin of the engraved title page. Several of the plates have been mended and trimmed. Plate III of Part I lacks the left-hand fold-over. The overall condition is good.

Venice: Plinio Pietrasanta, 1554. First edition. Very Good. Quarto (22 cm); 45, [3] pages (last leaf blank). Title within woodcut architectural border. Historiated woodcut initials throughout. In half vellum over 17th- or 18th-century woodblock printed paste paper, titled in manuscript on spine. Lower board ruptured near corner, subsequently rebuilt. Some leaves toned brown. Early ownership inscriptions and later bibliographical notes on front free endpaper and on rear pastedown. References: Adams F-182; Olschki, Choix de livres anciens, VI, 5817 This essay extolling marriage is an early artifact of modern ethnography, in that it poses as a survey of marriage customs through history and around the world. In true humanist fashion, Fausto mines the ancient historians for most of his material. So we find out that in Lacedaemonia (or, Atlantis), men who refused to marry were forced to run naked through the forum in the dead of winter, and that in Assyria, husbands were bound by law to obey…

BASILEAE: APUD NIC. EPISCOPIUM IUN., 1558. In 16. Dim. 17x12 cm. Pp. 32 (n.n.)+350+2 (n.n.). Rara edizione del 1558 di quest'opera scritta da Cristophe Longueil (1488-1522) umanista francescano. Nel 1517 Longueil strinse amicizia con Pietro Bembo e Jacopo Sadoleto ma questo non impedì che nei suoi confronti si scatenasse una forte campagna diffamatoria tanto che fu costretto a trafserirsi a Padova dove si spense. Ammiratore incondizionato di Cicerone, fu un grande propagandista del ciceronismo prima in Francia, poi a Roma. Questo suo epistolario non è una mera imitazione della produzione ciceroniana, ma denota una ricerca stilistica ed un'eleganza espositiva di rara freschezza e vivacità. Nella prima parte la sua vita, poi l'epistolario. Numerose note manoscritte all'interno. Marca editoriale all'ultima carta. Titolo manoscritto al taglio inferiore. Opera collazionata e risultata completa. Legatura in pergamena. Non comune. Copertina in piena pergamena con…

Description:
LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14). Edizione del 1548 di questa nota opera letteraria scritta da Adriano Castellesi (ca 1485-1521) nato a Corneto (antico nome di Tarquinia) detto anche Adriano da Corneto. Castellesi fu grechista, ebraista, autore di poemetti, opere di stile, grammatiche e filosofico-teologiche. Espertissimo di affari, si arricchì enormemente destando in tal modo l'invidia di Cesare Borgia che tentò di avvelenarlo. Andato in esilio e ritornato in patria all'avvento di Leone X, dovette ritornarvi perchè accusato di aver preso parte alla congiura del Cardinale Petrucci. Da questo momento in poi non si sa più nulla di lui: sembra che sia stato assassinato a scopo di furto da uno dei suoi servitori. Il volume è un'opera didattica latina che riporta termini utilizzati in sentenze classiche latine. Alla fine risulta molto interessante il poema sulla caccia organizzata dal Cardinale Ascanio Sforza nei pressi…
