About This Item
Noribegae [Nürnberg], Sumptibus Simonis Halbmayer Bibliopole [no date] 1626. 12mo, 125 x 74 mms., pp. 132, later gray wrappers, but lacks front wrapper, most of spine destroyed, title-page soiled and fragile at margins. The Lutheran theologian Jacobus Herrenschmidt (1578 - 1641) first published this satire with the Elzevirs in 1621 as an investigation, so to speak, of the justly punished, more justly defeated, and most justly condemned name and origin of the Bacchanalia. My Latin is about as good as my Chamicuro (spoken by eight people in Peru), but I think there is a pun in the title and some jokey, specious references in the footnotes.
