Only Edition: poems and prose representative of the brilliant cultural circle at the Aragonese court in Naples. Calenzio (1430-1502/3) was, first, King Federico's tutor, then his trusted diplomat and treasurer. His son Lucio enlisted his father's friend, the humanist Colocci (1474-1549), to shepherd his father's works through the press, including his Croacus or Battle of the Frogs and Mice, his most frequently reprinted piece. As editor, Colocci often radically intervened, rewriting entire passages. He did not, however, suppress the author's obscene poems, licentious letters,…

Description:
Orléans: [P.-F.] Perdoux, 1780. Beneath the title band lies the walled city of Soissons, fronted by a broad field. In the center left, shoemakers and cobblers serve customers and make and repair shoes in the shelter of a temporary stall. An elaborate outsized carriage dominates the scene. On the left, an angel leads the team of six white horses toward the town gate. In the carriage, a well dressed coachmen drives the beasts, which are caparisoned with the tools of the shoemaker's and cobbler's trades. With a Cross of the Holy Spirit pinned to each of their chests, Saints Crispin and Crispinian, richly garbed, sit behind, unruffled in their journey. The carriage door is emblazoned with shoemakers' and cobblers' tools. In the lower left of the scene more tools overflow a wooden box, and, just to the right, a pair of high boots and a half-dozen lasts lie scattered on the ground. Famous throughout northern Europe in the Middle Ages, Crispin and Crispinian are known today from the king's great…

Description:
Lyon: F. Juste, 1539. Jansenist crushed red morocco (Cuzin), gilt-lettered spine, all edges gilt, blue silk marker. Three nationalist texts illustrated with popular woodcuts. The first - by poet, historian and bookseller Gilles Corrozet - recounts the legendary foundation of the cities and towns of France. The second, by the physician and bibliographer Symphorien Champier (c. 1471-1539), describes the topography of southern France, its main political centers, MEDICINAL SPAS AND ROUTES OF COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION. The third, Champier's son Claude's account of pilgrimage sites in France, binds the spiritual to the historical (I) and the physical (II). François Juste specialized in small format vernacular illustrated books. Fine, from the library of the great bibliophile, Fr.-Gust.-Ad. Guyot de Villeneuve (1825-1898; Catalogue (1901) II: 113). ¶Brun, Le Livre illustré en France au XVIe siècle 176; Bechtel, Catalogue des gothiques C-650; Buisson, Répertoire des ouvrages pédagogiques du XVIe siècle 179.

Description:
[Stuttgart: Printer of the Erwählung Maximilians], 1486. CONTEMPORARY BLIND-TOOLED PIGSKIN-BACKED WOODEN BOARDS (some worming), contemporary manuscript titles on the front board, on a vellum strip at the top center of the rear board, on the spine and on the bottom edge, brass catch (evidence of a clasp). First Issue, with the uncorrected colophon. From these seventy tracts and letters much of the old Latin Bible can be reconstructed. Their legalistic conception of the church permanently influenced Western Catholicism. During the Reformation, all sides turned to Cyprian. THIS IS THE ONLY SUBSTANTIAL BOOK PRODUCED AT STUTTGART IN THE 15TH CENTURY, and one of three overall. The anonymous printer may have purchased his typographic materials from Conrad Fyner, who was active at Urach and Esslingen from 1473 to 1485. An outlier, this is the only printing prepared by a still unidentified editor. The other incunable editions follow the text established by Giovanni Andrea Bussi (1417-1475) for…
