4to (216 x 147 mm). [8], 118 leaves. Roman, italic and greek types; printed shoulder notes. 8-line historiated woodcut initial opening the dedication, 4-line initial opening the text. Title a bit soiled and ink-speckled, some old crease marks to corners, dampstaining in lower portion of last 30 or so leaves, a few small stains including early inkstains in some lower margins. Contemporary London binding of ca. 1570, by the ?Macdurnan Gospels Binder,? of brown calf over pasteboard, both covers gold-blocked and -tooled to a center- and corner-piece design with large cornucopia corner tools (Foot? K1 and K2), at center the gold-blocked arms of Elizabeth I within the Garter and surmounted by a coronet (Oldfield, British Armorial Bindings stamp 1), a semis of small gilt trefoils, smooth spine gilt with small tools and intersecting fillets, evidence of two fore-edge ties, edges gilt (the gilding largely faded; a few small gouges, old restorations to corners, obscuring the corner edges of five of the eight cornerpieces, and to upper board edges, joints and extremities of spine); modern folding case. Provenance: the dedicatee Peter Osborne (1521-1592), who may have commissioned the binding for the Queen; Richard Latewar (1560-1601), preacher and Neolatin poet, neat inscription on title consisting of two lines of Latin verse praising this posthumous work (Bernardus niveos moriens imitates olores / Edidit hos dulces in sua busta sonos), signed with his Latin name Richardus a Sero Bello, a correction (f. 98r) and five marginal notes apparently in the same hand (ff. [4]v of the dedication, 27v, 31r, 48r, 65r, 83v); Latin motto or quotation at end in a different early hand; John Wright, purchase inscription on title stating that he paid 12 pence for the book in 1613 (Johannes Wryght p. 12 d / 1613), a few marginalia probably in the same hand, some marginal notation symbols and light underlines; with Bernard Quaritch, catalogue 166, January 1897, Examples of the Art of Bookbinding, no. 21, the text of the catalogue on a typed sheet mounted inside front cover.? First Edition of a devotional treatise by a reformist Yorkshire preacher, bound for presentation to Queen Elizabeth. This was John Bernard?s only published work. The manuscript was found in Bernard?s study after his death by his brother Thomas, who had it published, dedicating the volume to Peter Osborne, the lord treasurer's remembrancer of the exchequer. ?According to Thomas Bernard, his brother wrote the Oratio pia early in Mary's reign, when the persecution of protestants was beginning. Supported by much classical and patristic learning, John Bernard pursues the question of ?where the true tranquillitie of the minde may be founde? [English translation of 1570, The Tranquillitie of the Minde, 35]. His standpoint is firmly evangelical. Proclaiming a scripture-based religion, he rejects clerical celibacy and the doctrine of purgatory, and asserts that if no morally worthy priest is available to comfort those troubled in conscience, the latter should go instead to ?the lay man which is indued with the same giftes that are in a godly Minister?? (Oxford DNB). The work was printed by the noted Protestant printer William Sere, who had received letters patent for the printing of psalters, primers and prayer-books in 1554; he lost this privilege under Queen Mary and regained it upon the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558. The ?MacDurnan Gospels Binder,? a shop or binder active from the 1560s to the early 17th century (after about 1580 the shop?s material is associated with the binder John Bateman), derives its name from the 9th-century Gospels of Maelbright MacDurnan, Abbot of Armagh (d. 927), now in the Library of Lambeth Palace, which was bound in this London shop for Archbishop Matthew Parker, the bindery?s main patron. ?Besides binding manuscripts for Parker and presentation copies of books in whose production he was concerned, this bindery bound presentation copies of books produced by mo.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Folio (340 x 235mm). 77 leaves: [vi], 1-74pp. (including advertisement leaf). Signatures: aa4 (lacking aai), a-i8. Barbé's printer's device on final verso of bearded man holding a laurel wreath in oval cartouche frame with motto "Nec barbae, Nec barbato." 132 woodcuts of geometry and diagrams, 24 in full-page. Text in roman and italic in dual French and Italian. Modern marbled boards and renewed endpapers; (some browning, heavier at front and rear, repaired tear to final leaf). Two old bookseller's description (one for Kraus) laid-in at front. This copy with some interesting additions as in p. 32 where a pencil diagram study was made of the figure. Scattered seventeenth century annotations in French, on p. 67 a crude drawing of a shield with some curious French cancelled, "Mademoiselle ma cousine ie vous supplie bien humblement," and a repeating surname "Vallier" in lower margin. A most definitely utilized copy of this interesting treatise with large figures, which would have captured a student's attention. Dual French and Latin edition of Serlio's important sixteenth century treatise on Geometry and Perspective, Books I and II, published in Paris by Barbé in 1545. Books I and II covered the fields of knowledge once considered the purview of the painter. The books were intended for very few readers, mainly those who were able to draw and reproduce diagrams. For Geometry, architects and artists would have most benefited from the graphic experience and the profuse diagrams which would help them resolve problems in their work. The second book, Perspective, is divided into three short treatises organized as lessons. The first was devoted to the ground plan in perspective, the second to bodies in perspective, the third to "material" perspective in stage design (comic, tragic, and satirical) and is illustrated by the famous engravings on perspective, spatial contours, and distributions of the theater. Serlio's Books I and II appeared third in the series after the "Quarto Libro" on the orders (1537) and Book III on Antiquities (1540). They were important teaching tools that Serlio developed over time and over exposure to the work of Euclid's Elements and other master thinkers and designers of his time like Leon Battista Alberti, Piero della Francesca, Leonardo da Vinci, Jean Pélerin and Albrecht Dürer. Jean Barbé was a Parisian printer and merchant-bookseller who is remembered for partnering with typographer Claude Garamont in 1545 - notably the same year as this edition. At the height of his short two-year career, Barbé's work on this Serlio text was his most notorious and remains an important addition in French Renaissance printing. Barbé prepared just one more final edition of this Serlio text for the benefit of his widow and heirs, which appeared in 1547 - the same year of his death.

"Four years [after the publication of De justitia et jure] a work of quite a different nature was written by Lessius under the title, "Quae fides et religio sit capessenda" (Antwerp, 1609). It is a short book of some 150 pages, on controversy and apologetics, which brought about a great many conversions, among them that of John of Nassau. The book was often reprinted and was translated into Flemish, German, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, and French." â" The Catholic Encyclopedia. / The second work is written by Alvarez de Paz and edited by Father Gonsalvo Barnuevo. Alvarez de Paz was a Spanish Jesuit mystic and member of the Society of Jesus who preached in Peru. Alleged to have had the gift of prophecy, during his sermons he often fell into ecstasy and had to be carried from the pulpit. Supposedly, when he died in Potosi, 100,000 silver miners left their work to observe his funeral services.

La prima opera i Ricordi di Monsignor Sabba da Castiglione. Il Gamba 1301 \"confessa l`autore, in una lettera posta al fine dell`edizione del 1555, di aver scritto in lingua massimamante lombarda, ma che questa sua foggia di scrivere era stata approvata dal Sannazaro a Napoli, e dal Bembo a Padova. Curiose sono le notizie che vi si leggono, specialmante nel Ricordo circa gli ornamenti della casa.\" La prima edizione fu pubblicata a Bologna nel 1546. Il secondovolumetratta diun dovizioso trattato filosofico, \"Ove - come dichiara il frontespizio - con vive ragioni si mostra, la morte non esser quel male, che`l senso si persuade. Con una dotta, e giudiciosa lettera, over discorso intorno alla lingua volgare\". Curatore dell`edizione fu Citolini, che testimonia che quella che si appresta a stampare è opera \"uscita da l`intelletto d`un giovinetto, tutto occupato per gli altrui intrighi ne i continui, e noiosi travagli del pallazzo\". Quest`opera di Valerio Marcellino rappresenta non solo un trattato filosofico ma anche un contributo al dibattito linguistico del suo tempo, offrendo un dialogo intenso e ricco di argomentazioni sulle percezioni umane e sulle lingue. Il testo si presenta come un prezioso trattato diviso in due giornate, introdotto da una lettera sulla lingua volgare. Esemplare in splendide condizioni, legatura integra interno fresco e molto bene inchiostrato.
