Hygini quæ hodie extant, adcurante Joanne Scheffero Argentoratensi, qui simul adjecit Notas, hic admodum necessarias, cum Indice verborum locutionumque rariorum, & Dissertatione, de vero hujus operis auctore. Accedunt & Thomae Munckeri in Fabilas Hygini Annotationes. Hamburgi, Ex Officina… Gothofredi Schultzen Prostant & Amsterdami, Apud Joannem Janssonium à Waesberge, 1674. Vignette title page. 338 p + indexes; 68 p. Full vellum binding measuring 7.25 x 4.5", 12mo. In fair condition. Typical wear to vellum with light surface dirt and edge wear.

Gaius Julius Hyginus (ca 64 BCE- 17 CE) was a Latin author, but whether a native of Spain or Alexandria is not sure, a pupil of the famous Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor, Caesar Augustus, by whom he was made superintendent of the Palatine library according to Suetonius. Fabulae consists of some three hundred very brief and plainly, even crudely told myths and celestial genealogies. They are now considered a wealth of information. Johannes Schefferus (1621 1679) was one of the most important Swedish humanists of his time. He was also known as Angelus and is remembered for writing hymns. Schefferus was born in Strasbourg, then part of the Holy Roman Empire. He came from the patrician family (Scheffer), studied at university there and briefly in Leiden, and was in 1648 made professor Skytteanus of eloquence and government at Uppsala University, a chair he held until his death in 1679. Schefferus also spent time on philological and archaeological studies. His De orbibus tribus aureis became the first publication on Swedish archaeology. The story of the Sami people, Lapponia (1673) became popular around Europe but was not translated into Swedish (as Lappland) until 1956. His posthumous publication, Suecia literata (The Learned Sweden) (1680) is a Swedish history of science bibliography. The first part contains classical myths while the second book deals with the zodiac, constellations and the planets (Thomas Munckerus, d. 1652). First Edition with Schefferus commentary.

Isaac/Shaw, A typographical catalogue of books printed in France, IS000420. Renouard, Répertoire, 234. vgl. Renouard, Marques typographiques (Lambert), 541. Gra…esse III, 403. In dieser Ausgabe nicht bei Houzeau. Titelblatt in Rot und Schwarz gedruckt mit Holzschnittdruckermarke als Titelvignette. Enthält 43 (von 50) Holzschnitten im Text und Holzschnittinitialen. Vorhanden sind alle 41 Sternbildholzschnitte. Von den ursprünglich 7 Planetenholzschnitten fehlen 6, vorhanden ist die Sonne. Auf dem Titelblattverso findet sich der Mikrokosmosholzschnitt, dafür fehlt der den Band abschließende Sphaera-Mundi-Holzschnitt aus Ratdolts Sacrobosco (1485). Die Holzschnitte der Sternbilder sind angelehnt an jene, die für die 1482 bei Ratdolt in Venedig publizierte Ausgabe verwendet wurden. Die Holzschnittdruckermarke auf dem Titelblatt sowie die Holzschnittinitialen im Text hatte Jean Lambert (1493-1518) im Jahr 1503 vom bedeutenden Pariser Buchdrucker Félix Baligault (gestorben im Jahr 1506) übernommen. Im Jahr 1514 ließ er eine Ausgabe des "De Astronomica" bzw. "Poeticon astronomicon" durch den in Paris tätigen, deutschen Buchdrucker Thomas Kees aus Wesel drucken. Der Pariser Buchhändler Pasquier Lambert (gestorben vor 1519) übernahm die Nachfolge Jean Lamberts und nutzte weiterhin die Initalien ebenso wie die Druckermarke in den Jahren 1515-1517. Von dieser machte er, seinem Vorgänger gleich, auch für die Ausgabe des "Poeticon astronomicon" Gebrauch, hier allerdings mittlerweile ohne integrierte Namen, wobei er bei den zuletzt von ihm publizierten Werken eine eigene, an die vorige motivisch angelehnte Druckermarke verwendete (Drucke erschienen 1517 und 1518, vgl. Renouard 542). Die Sternbildholzschnitte wurden vorwiegend aus der Ausgabe von 1514 übernommen, mit kleinen Variationen beim Pegasus und beim Skorpion. Außen- und Fußsteg breitrandig. Einband etwas berieben und im Leder mit Druckstellen, auf dem vorderen Vorsatz kopiertes Exlibris privat montiert, kleinere Vorbesitzerstempel auf den Vorsätzen, die ersten drei und die letzten sieben Blatt mit deutlichen Randläsuren (ohne Textberührung) sowie einige Seiten in den Ecken mit leichten Läsuren, Titelblatt etwas stärker gebräunt, berieben sowie minimal tinten- und leicht wasserfleckig, Seiten insgesamt leicht gebräunt und stellenweise knickspurig (insbesondere die ersten und letzten Blatt), Seiten im unteren Bundsteg sowie stellenweise im Kopfsteg mit dezenterem Wasserrand (wenig nachgebräunt, nicht gewellt, keine Textberührung), es fehlen die Blatt [A2] und [A3] sowie [K1-4]. Latin edition. Comprises 43 of the 50 woodcuts, including the 41 astronomical constellations, one of the planet woodcuts (the sun) and the microcosm woodcut. Later, plain leather binding with marbled boards and deckled edges. Binding a bit rubbed and with pressure marks, copy of a bookplate mounted on endpaper, small previous owner's stamps on endpapers, first page darkened and rubbed, first three and last seven sheets with defects to the margins (text not affected) as well as some pages' corners with light defects, title page darkened, rubbed as well as minimally ink stained and a bit dampstained, pages throughout lightly darkened and some with crease marks (especially first and last sheets), pages partially with tidemark (lightly darkened, not wavy, text not affected), sheets [A2] and [A3] as well as [K1-4] are missing.

Add to basketTitle on a2 printed in red, 47 half-page woodcuts of the constellation and planet figures, probably designed by Johannes Santritter, partially coloured by an early hand in pale red, green and yellow; white-on-black woodcut initials in various sizes, some coloured. 4to (205 x 145mm). 57 leaves (lacks first blank), 31 lines, gothi…c type, a few words in greek. Late 19th century calf-backed boards, spine with red and green labels lettered in gilt, preserved in a mid-20th century slipcase. Venice, Erhard Ratdolt, 14 October 1482 First illustrated edition and the first depictions in a printed book of the constellations, the signs of the zodiac, and planets as conceived in antiquity, which serves as the beginning of celestial cartography. A fine specimen from the Venetian press of the great innovator Erhard Ratdolt. The design of the woodcuts is attributed to Johannes Santritter and consists of forty constellation figures with star locations which illustrate Hyginus' descriptions in Book III and seven planet figures (Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars, and the Sun and Moon) found in Book IV. Santritter, a native of Heilbronn, was also responsible for woodcut diagrams used by Ratdolt in his 1482 edition of Sacrobosco's Sphaera Mundi. The woodblocks remained in Radolt's shop and were re-used in his reprint of 1485 and on his return to Augsburg in his 1488 edition of Johannnes Angeli's Astrolabium. Although astronomically inaccurate they were hugely influential, as noted by Lippincott 'once these images appeared in print . they became the undisputed model upon which astronomical book illustration relied for the next forty years? First published in an extremely rare unillustrated edition of Ferrara 1475 (ISTC ih00559000 lists only 14 copies), the text is attributed to Hyginus and consists of four books: on definitions, the myths of the constellations, the number and location of the stars in the constellations, and the motions of the Sun, Moon and planets. Quite who the Hyginus of this text was is not established (see OCD) but the text was well known: De astronomia was a popular and influential text and source-book from the date of its composition onwards. The most likely candidate as author seems to be C. Iulius Hyginus, the Keeper of the Palatine Library during the reign of Augustus Caesar and friend of Ovid. This therefore places the work between Cicero?s Latin translation of Aratus?s Phaenomena (89-86 BC) and the more scholarly Latin translation (or adaptation) of the same poem attributed to Germanicus Caesar (16-17 AD). In the entry in Reynolds? Texts and Transmission, written by Michael Reeve, he asked a propos of De astronomia: ?Has any classical text been so ill served by recent scholarship as this?? He does mention the quite large number of manuscripts, but remarks that the work so far done had added little. However, the situation is now changed. The most recent edition is that of Ghislaine Viré (Leipzig: Teubner, 1992) but the Budé text of 1983 ed. Le Boeuffle is to be preferred (see review by M. Winterbottom in CRNS 44 no. 1, pp. 49-50). Winterbottom remarks of the language of the work that ?unlike the much corrected and mutilated Fabulae? it is a good example of extended Augustan prose. At the end are two sets of Latin elegiacs by Jacopo Sentino ?Ricinensis?, i.e. from Ricina, now Villa Potenza is in the Marche region in Italy. The second of these is about his and Santritter?s edition of Hyginus and dwells on how they have produced a clean text. The third set of verses is actually by Santritter. The intermittent colouring found in over half of the woodcuts is certainly early; there is careful hatching and outlining in pale red, with earth tones and pale green used on some figures. Generally a crisp, well-margined, and unwashed copy with some leaves a little toned towards the end, a few mostly minor stains, a very few small wormholes. Provenance: Marco Contarini, with date 15 May [15]18 of the well-known Contarini family of Venice. In a document in the Venetian State Papers he is described in 1522 as ?late State attorney.? On the verso of the final leaf is the number lxvii above a name and two numbers. There is faint numeration as far as XXV in pale pink ink and on ff. b2 and b3 a few marginal notes in the same ink. From the collection of Alastair Bradley Martin (1917-2010) with a pencil note presumably in his had loosely inserted. Alastair, a grandson of the steel magnate Henry Phipps, and his wife Edith Park were prominent art collectors in a variety of fields, he also served on the boards of the Brooklyn Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. His elder brother was the great bibliophile Henry Bradley Martin (1909-88). BMC V, 286. Essling, 285. Goff, H-560. HC 9062*. Hind II, p. 462. Pollard/Perrins 31. Redgrave 30. Sander 3472.

He was elected superintendent of the Palatine library by Augustus according to Suetonius' De Grammaticis.Palaephatus (Greek: ??????????) w…as the original author of a rationalizing text on Greek mythology, the work of paradoxography On Incredible Tales (Greek: ???? ??????? (????????). Palaephatus' date and name are uncertain; many scholars have concluded that Palaephatus is a pseudonym; the evidence, such as it is, is all of it consistent with the late fourth century BC.Fabius Planciades Fulgentius (fl. late 5th? early 6th century) was a Latin writer of late antiquity. Four extant works are commonly attributed to him, as well as a possible fifth which some scholars include in compilations with much reservation. His mythography was greatly admired and highly influential throughout much of the medieval period, but it is viewed with little favour today.Aratus (c. 315 BC/310 BC ? 240) was a Greek didactic poet. His major extant work is his hexameter poem Phenomena (Ancient Greek: ?????????, Phainómena, "Appearances"; Latin: Phaenomena), the first half of which is a verse setting of a lost work of the same name by Eudoxus of Cnidus. It describes the constellations and other celestial phenomena. The second half is called the Diosemeia (????????? "Forecasts"), and is chiefly about astronomy and weather forecasting. Proclus Lycaeus (412 ? 485 AD), called the Successor (Greek ??????? ? ????????, Próklos ho Diádokhos), was a Greek Neoplatonist philosopher, one of the last major classical philosophers (see Damascius). He set forth one of the most elaborate and fully developed systems of Neoplatonism. He stands near the end of the classical development of philosophy and was very influential on Western medieval philosophy (Greek and Latin).Jacob Micyllus, (6 April 1503 ? 28 January 1558) was a German Renaissance humanist and professor. , Size : Small Folio (310mm x 200m, Illustrated with 48 astronomical woodcuts, and elaborate drop crop., A platemark on the front pasted free end paper, in red and black., References : H.
