Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the political opposition in 18th century Germany through the eyes of Johann Jakob Moser, a prominent German public intellectual and politician. Spanning his lifetime and published works, the book delves into the complex relationship between the Holy Roman Emperor and the myriad sovereign princes that made up the German Empire, chronicling the ways in which various political factions attempted to wield their influence. The author argues that Moser played a pivotal role in this milieu, using his writings and activism to advocate for a more just and equitable distribution of power within the fragmented German polity. The book offers fresh insights into the dynamics of power and the struggle for political reform in the lead up to the French Revolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

First and only edition of a work defending Erasmus against the accusations of Edward Lee, Archbishop of York. Lee had repeatedly complained about Erasmus's translation of the New Testament, criticising not only his knowledge of the Greek language, but also accusing him of heresy, and of stealing Lee's own ideas. In response, Erasmus and his friends, including Johannes Gertophius (dates unknown), ridiculed him on several occasions, such as in the present work. The title refers to the author as an "adolescens Germanus", but nothing more seems to be known about him. Other than a defence of Erasmus's New Testament against Lee's charges, the present work also includes a satirical poem, consisting of eleven distichs, by Herman von dem Busche (1468-1534).The boards have been somewhat rubbed. A water stain on the leaves, which decreases in size towards the end of the work. Otherwise in good condition.l Adams G 511; BM STC German p. 948; USTC 690074; VD 16 G 1635. Modern quarter vellum in older style, mid to late 18th-century marbled paper sides, with the manuscript author, title, and year of publication in red ink on the spine.

4to (145 x 202 mm). (60) ff. With woodcut capitals and printer's device on title-page. Numerous handwritten annotations in very early contemporary hand of Otto von Pack. Modern marbled boards. A defining humanist manifesto by a controversial figure from the circle of Erasmus and Thomas More, owned by the forger and conspirator Otto von Pack (1480-1537), who famously almost triggered a civil war among the German princes. - This is the principal work of Hermann von dem Busch(e) (1468-1534), a manifesto for the humanist movement of his time which stresses the importance of classical studies in education. E. P. Goldschmidt, who later would own this copy, called the work one of the "best achievements" of the early 16th century's "gay anti-barbarous humanists", and one of the few "that can still be read with pleasure": a "spirited formulation of the humanist ideal" (The First Cambridge Press in Its European Setting, p. 39). Well-travelled and open-minded, Busch sided with Johann Reuchlin in the humanist's notorious dispute with the Dominican friars over the burning of the Talmud, and he has sometimes been tipped as one of the authors of the satirical "Epistolae obscurorum virorum" which lampooned the scholastic fanatics. - This copy's likely first owner, Otto von Pack, had been involved in several cases of minor and major fraud before he, in 1527, floated to the Protestant Landgrave Philip of Hesse an alleged plot by the Catholic German princes to attack members of the Reformation. He even produced a forged document to bolster these claims, leading Protestant princes to consider a pre-emptive strike. When he was found out, Pack fled to the Netherlands, where he was apprehended and executed. Still, questions remain surrounding the identity of possible co-conspirators (including Philip of Hesse himself). The incident did much to further poison the already soured and distrustful relationships between Protestant and Catholic German princes, as well as with the Emperor. - Pack left few records for scholarship: the marginal notes, in several hands including his own, must be regarded as one of the very few surviving primary source documents of his ideas in his own words. Even his signature, present here on the title-page in a bold hand, is vanishingly rare. It is dated in Leipzig, shortly after publication, though two final Roman numerals have apparently been trimmed at the edge of the leaf to read "Kalend. Janua. MDXVII": this must have been "MDXVIIII", or less than nine months after the publication of the book. At this time, Pack was studying at the University of Leipzig for a law degree. - Several annotations very slightly trimmed by the binder's knife. Final leaf somewhat soiled, chip to lower corner (without loss) and repaired closed tear. Altogether bright and clean, with both text and important annotations quite well preserved. - With the ownership inscription and notes of Otto von Pack, ca. 1519. Later 20th century bookplates of the famed bookseller Ernst Philip Goldschmidt (1887-1954) and of the Cologne merchant and collector Hanns-Theo Schmitz-Otto (1908-92) on front pastedown. Sold by Venator & Hanstein, Cologne, in 2022 (lot 396) and acquired in the German trade. - VD 16, B 9954. BM-STC German 171. Adams A 3339. Proctor 10593. ADB III, 640.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. INNOCENTIUS III, Pope (Busche, Hermann von dem, Ed.) Fundamentum eterne felicitatis Cum libro de Miseria conditionis humane. Köln, per Matinum de werdena, 1509. 8vo, unnumbered leaves, A-F8 G4 H8. Black letter, 32 lines. Large woodcut vignette on title page repeated on verso of last: Jesus as a child between Saint Anne and Mary in the presence of the dove of the Holy Spirit. Capital spaces with small guide-letters, printed maniculae indicating the heading of each paragraph. Small paper repair to outer margin of t-p and metal clip to margin of D6 bookmarking the table of contents. Evenly soiled, yet lightly, and a little darkened to margin edges. In modern gilt red morocco, title and date on front cover and spine. An excellent copy. Pope Innocent III (1160-1216), alias Loatrio di Segni, studied at the universities of Paris and Bologna. This very learned man of austere manners first became cardinal in 1190 and then pope as the successor of Celestine III. He fostered the moral and disciplinary reform of the Church, the fight against heresy, and the re-conquest of the Holy Land. He promoted the fourth crusade, which diverted from its original aim and concluded with the sack of Constantinople in 1204. He undertook the Albigesian crusade in order to supress the Cathar heresy, which had spread to large areas of the Pyrenees, Southern France and Northern Italy. Moreover, he crowned the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in 1212. Even though he was a skilled politician, he was moved by deeply religious purposes. Innocent wrote several theological and ascetic treatises, of which De miseria humane conditionis was the most renown, especially following his rule, when it was known with the title De contemptu mundi. This pope resumed the theocratic ideas of Gregory VII, according to which the pope is the vicar of Christ and the king of all kings; as spiritual power is superior to secular power, so the human soul rules over the body and the sun over the moon; both the spiritual and the secular swords are of the pope, who nevertheless concedes that the emperor uses one of the two, since the latter is advocatus Ecclesiae. Given that the pope must look after and take care of all men, by cause of the perpetual sinful condition of humanity, he has the power of control over everything and, therefore, he is legitimated to intervene in every field directly by God. The editor of the present work was Hermann von dem Busche (1468-1534), a German humanist who studied in Heidelberg, Tubingen and Italy. He is given as one of the authors of the Epistolae obscurorum virorum. He was a close friend to Ulrich von Hutten and an early enthusiast of the Reformation.
