Description:
1519 LIVY History of Rome Gladiators Hannibal Punic Wars ALDINE Post Incunable

"Men of outstanding ability are more likely to lack the power of controlling their own people than of defeating an enemy in battle."
― Livy, The History of Rome

Few works on the history of Rome are as important and impactful as Livy's 'Ab Urbe Condita' or 'Histories'. Livy began working on this work at the end of the 1st-century BC and covers the earliest times and the foundation of Rome through the reign of Caesar Augustus.

While any edition of Livy is desirable, this particular volume from the 1519 post-incunable edition is considered to be one of the most desirable and valuable early edition of Livy. The famed Venetian printer Aldus Manutius published this edition which was edited by Giovanni Francesco Torresani. Aldus published this work in five distinct parts from 1518 through 1533, this tome being the third of the series. Notable topics covered in this volume include:
·

Description:
1514 RARE Parthenice Mariana Carmelite Mantuanus Hagiography Badius P. Incunable

Baptista Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15th-century works were influential during the Protestant Reformation. Perhaps the most influential of his works was 'Parthenice Mariana' – a collection of hagiographic poems each of which honored the lives church fathers, Catholic saints and theologians, classical writers and philosophers, mythical heroes, and iconic biblical figures. Notable names include:
• the Virgin Mary
• Catherine of Alexandria
• Hippolytus of Rome
• Euripides
• Jesus Christ
• Hercules
• Hesiod
• Polybius
• And many more (see photos of the table for a complete list of contents)
These poems would become the basis for a new style of writing – the epic poem on religious subjects which heavily influenced Erasmus and John Milton.

This incredibly rare 1514, post-incunable printing of Mantuanus's "Parthenice" features two sets of commentary – one from Sebastian Murrho and the other… Read More

Description:
1548 Rodolphus Agricola De Inventione Dialectica Dutch Humanism Rhetoric & Logic

Rudolph Agricola was a 15th-century Dutch humanist primarily remembered for his best book 'De Inventione Dialectica". Agricola spent much of his career in education, teaching various subjects and fields; however, his lessons were rooted in rhetoric and language dialect. This propelled him to write his book "On Dialectical Invention" which argued for the use for rhetoric and logic in all facets of education. According to Hamilton,
"The significance of De inventione dialectica for the history of argumentation is that it assimilated the art of dialectic to that of rhetoric. Agricola focused on the topics rather than the analytics of Aristotle and on Cicero."

This 1548 edition is exceedingly rare, especially in the Americas. Only one copy is found in any institution in the Western Hemisphere, per the USTC.

Description:
1561 Philipp Melanchthon 1ed Epitaphs on Death Luther Wittenberg Reformation

"But faith is not belief in the history of Christ, as the godless think, but belief in the purpose of Christ's incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection."
― Philipp Melanchthon, Loci Communes

Philipp Melanchthon was a 16th-century Protestant theologian known for his role in the Protestant Reformation. His book 'Loci Theologici', or more simply a system of theology, was a treatise many church reformers produced. Throughout the mid-1500s, numerous other theologians wrote and lectured on Melanchthon's 'Loci' and provided commentary on his life and work, especially following his death in 1560. One such work was "Orationes epitaphia et scripta" – a collection of writings, speeches, letters, and epitaphs on the death of Melanchthon. This 1561 first edition provides first-hand accounts of Melanchthon's last days as well as the impact his ministry had on Lutheranism and Protestantism in Europe.

Description:
1517 ALDINE Martial Epigrams Roman Literature Corruption in Rome Post Incunable

"I live in a little cell, with a window that won't even close,
In which Boreas himself would not want to live."
– Martial, Epigrams

Martial was a 1st-century Roman poet from Spain most-known for his 'Epigrams.' This important, early piece of Roman literature expresses details of life in Rome focusing in on the brutal daily life during the Roman Empire. Martial describes living conditions of Rome, corrupt physicians and senators, cruel treatment of slaves, and secrets and rumors of emperors. Because of the style of Martial's writing, he is often considered the first insult comic, as he used humor to disguise his disdain for the life with which he was so familiar.

This incredibly rare and valuable 1517 post-incunable edition of Martial was published by the famed Aldine printing house.

1537 1ed Orthodox Saint John Chrysostom On the Priesthood + Brixius Marburg

A rare 16th-century printing of works of John Chrysostom. Chrysostom was one of the most important Early Christian Church authors and preachers and is most remembered for his sermons and homilies. He preached on many different subjects, but his most frequented topic was helping the needy. Chrysostom calls for followers of Jesus to set aside their material desires to help the poor, often in a way that shamed the rich and guilted them in to giving.
"Do you pay such honor to your excrements as to receive them into a silver chamber-pot when another man made in the image of God is perishing in the cold?" (Chrysostom in Liebeschuetz)

One of his most important treatises was 'On the Priesthood' in which he describes his experiences becoming a priest and living as a priest. Interestingly, this work was popular during his lifetime as he made references to it in his other works.

Large octavo, pp 338, a very occasional light and discrete pencil note in a margin, otherwise incredibly clean internally, paperback, the covers in very good condition. RARE - a fine copy. [Macer Floridus is the alleged pseudonym of Odo de Meung, a French cleric and physician who lived during the 11th century and was the presumed author of the herbal poem De Viribus Herbarum (On the properties of plants). The use of "Macer" alludes to the Roman poet, Aemilius Macer (16 B.C.), who authored a poem on remedies for those afflicted with wounds from poisonous serpents. The herbal, commonly referred to as the Macer Floridus, was written in Latin hexameter verse and presented the medicinal uses of plants. The rhyming verse aided doctors and apothecaries in memorizing medicinal recipes and treatments, which made the herbal popular among those who practiced medicine during the Middle Ages. The Macer Floridus is recognized as a signal of revival in botanical… Read More
