Condition: Good. DEDICATION COPY4to (190x133 mm). x, cvi, [2] leaves. Collation: A-T6 V4. Title page printed in red and black. Colophon and errata on l. V4r. Late 19th-century German marbled cardboards, lettering piece on spine, red edges (somewhat worn and rubbed). Pale browning, upper margin cut short, overall a good copy.Provenance. On the front flyleaves late 19th-century manuscript notes, bookplate of Georgius Klosz, M.D. Francofurti ad Moenum, bookplate and stamp of the Stinnecke Maryland Episcopal Library (the stamp, dated 1879, is repeated on the title page). The Stinnecke Maryland Episcopal Library was a significant collection of liturgical works, hymnals, and books of private devotion donated to the Diocese of Maryland in 1879 by Bishop William Whittingham (1805-1879) (cf. A Catalogue of the liturgies, liturgical works, books of private devotion, hymnals and collections of hymns, in the Stinnecke Maryland Episcopal Library the legacy of the Rt. Rev. W.R. Whittingham, D.D., L.L.D. Bishop of Maryland, to his diocese, 1879, privately printed in 1881). As of 2011, a remnant of this library is in the collection of the General Theological Seminary (NY).On the title page autograph dedication by the author to Heinrich Kobolt from Ulm (1490-1521): ?Erudito Henrico Cobaltino Ulmeń Arbori suo sublissimo Eobanus Hessus cum Amore dd. 1521? Above is a later ownership entry ?Collegii Beybergj?.First edition, dedicated to Job von Dobeneck (ca. 1450-1521), bishop of Pomesania, of Eobanus Hessus' best work of poetry, a most original volume with the title Heroides Christianae in imitation of Ovid, consisting of fictitious letters from holy women, from the Virgin Mary down to Kunigunde, wife of the Emperor Henry II. By replacing mythological characters with Christian saints and holy women and by focusing on themes of virginity and faith, it was a key work in the Renaissance ?Christianization? of this classical genre. The work, which was reprinted in 1532 and 1546, brought Hessus general recognition as Germany's leading Latin poet. In 1518, when Eobanus, who revered Erasmus, made the journey from Erfurt to Louvain to see him in person, Erasmus complimented him as an ?Ovidius Christianus' (H. Vredeveld, Traces of Erasmus' poetry in the work of Helius Eobanus Hessus, in: ?Humanistica Lovaniensia?, vol. 35, 1986, p. 48).?Eobanus' Heroidum Christianarum Epistolae, published in 1514 and reedited in 1535, is a collection of elegiac letters ostensibly written by twenty-two female figures drawn from the New Testament and other Christian documents. Each character is given the opportunity not only to express her own emotional responses to her circumstances but also to demonstrate the significance of her story within the Christian tradition itself. By dramatizing doctrine, Eobanus maximizes the effectiveness of his heroines' stories. By developing the historical and traditional background circumstances related to each of his heroines, Eobanus provides a very moving means to educate readers in background data to each narrative. The poet undertakes a codification of Christian lore, collecting and poeticizing it into a canonic Christian paideia. Eobanus' goal of canonizing Christian doctrine through the use of classical poetic genres is not original with him, for other humanist poets used the classics ? particularly Ovid ? for similar purposes. However, that Eobanus is intent upon developing the pedagogical potential of the Heroides in a particularly Lutheran direction becomes apparent in his restructuring of the work for the second edition of 1535. Lutheran educators, intent upon harnessing the pedagogical potential of the classical authors, develop characteristic means of institutionalizing them; Eobanuss second edition of the Heroides is consonant with these trends? (D.L. Johnson, The Heroides of Eobanus Hessus (1488-1540): Toward an Evangelical Paideia, online).The work comprises a total of 24 letters, including the initial letter from Jesus to Mary and the.

First edition. First edition. Unbound, with remnants of old blue paper wrappers at the spine. 4ş: A6, [3 (A2-A4 missigned Ai, Aij, Aiij) signed], B-C4, D3, 17 leaves (last blank not present). An early humanist satire by Hessus, defending classical learning at the height of the Erfurt Reformation crisis. First edition of Hessus's Three Dialogues, printed at Erfurt in early 1524, during the acute confessional and institutional crisis that followed the early Reformation. The work was issued by Matthes Maler and belongs to the small corpus of polemical prose produced by Hessus at a moment when his position at the university was under direct threat. Helius Eobanus Hessus (born Eoban Koch, 1488-1540) was a German Neo-Latin poet and humanist closely associated with the early Reformation. Educated at the University of Erfurt, he rose to prominence as a Latin poet and lecturer and became an outspoken defender of humane studies at a moment of intense confessional conflict. Hessus aligned himself with Erasmus of Rotterdam and later openly supported Martin Luther, while rejecting radical anti-intellectual currents within evangelical preaching. After losing his position at Erfurt amid the university's decline, he continued his career through humanist networks connected with Philip Melanchthon, and from 1536 served as professor of poetry and history at Marburg. He was widely regarded by contemporaries as one of the most accomplished Latin poets of his age, producing epigrams, occasional verse, biblical paraphrases, and polemical writings such as the Dialogi tres. The Dialogi tres are structured after classical and Lucianic models and combine prose with frequent verse passages. Each dialogue targets a different figure emblematic of anti-humanist zeal: Melaenus (the maligner), Misologus (the hater of learning), and the Fugitivi (the "runaways," presented as ignorant ex-monks turned agitators). The work defends the study of languages, rhetoric, medicine, and classical authors as necessary for education and theology. While sharply critical in tone, the book repeatedly insists that its attack is directed not against reform as such, but against ignorance, demagogy, and the destruction of learning. The volume is dedicated to Peter Kemnitz, Cistercian abbot of Pforta. In the dedicatory epistle, Hessus emphasizes moderation, learning, and Christian piety, and presents the work as written rapidly and without malice, in defense of humane studies under urgent circumstances. The Dialogi tres stands as a contemporary witness to early Reformation debates over education, authority, and the place of classical learning.
