Ritratto di Aldo Manuzio al frontis con al verso grande stemma di Massimiliano II, il tutto in xilografia. Importante edizione basata sulla celeberrima del 1513. Il pregio di questa nostra stà nel fatto che i rami sono stati incisi nuovamente e pertanto si tratta di incisioni nuove: illustrano fauna, fortificazioni, sbarramenti, sistemi di difesa terrestri e fluviali, muraglie, costruzione di ponti nonchè le due carte geografiche della Gallia e della Spagna. In una lettera al Muretus, Aldo Manuzio scrive: " Faccio anche fare le figure di nuovo, per essere le vecchie troppo vergognose ". A queste incisioni si è anche ispirato il Palladio nell' edizione del 1575 tradotta…

Description:
1552 Medieval LAW Gratianus Decretum Catholic Canon Corpus Juris + Mouchy GlossGratianus, more commonly referred to as the 'Decretum Gratiani' was a 12th-century monk of whom nothing is known other than his work 'Decretum' (hence the moniker). This work is a collection of decrees on Canon Law which became part of the Corpus Juris Canonici. Gratian's work was known to heavily influence the writings of Peter Lombard along with notable anthologies and legal glossaries written in the 14th-16th-centuries. According to Thomas Woods, this work
"served as a model for 12th-century jurists in the formation of western law, based on rational rules and evidence to replace barbaric laws."
Antoine de Mouchy, a 16th-century French scholar, published an important commentary on Gratian. This 1552 de Mouchy edition of Gratian is exceedingly rare. According to the USTC, this book appears in only one institutional holding worldwide!

Antwerp, Belgium: Jan Baptiste Vrients, 1603. 14 3/4 inches by 19 3/8 inches on a 16 5/8" by 21 3/4" sheet of laid paper. Latin text on the verso. van den Broecke 193. Abraham Ortelius was a Flemish scholar who moved to Antwerp to become a bookseller and cartographer. This map of ancient Spain is from his PARERGON, published as an appendix to the THEATRUM ORBIS TERRARUM, the world's first true atlas as well as the most authoritative and commercially successful atlas of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Although it is dated 1586 in one cartouche, this map actually is a second state (printed between 1601 and 1612) as indicated by the stipple engraving in the ocean & seas and by the line through the word "Cinniana" in line 8 of the descriptive text within the cartouche in the lower right corner. The map is in very good condition: generally clean and bright, with barely a hint of toning and minor soiling limited to the blank margins. Madrid bookseller's stamp…

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.

LUGDUNI: APUD SEB. GRYPHIUM, 1548. In 16. Dim. 17x11 cm. Pp. 402+(14).

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.
