Hardback, leather. No Jacket. Ioan. Ravisii Textoris Nivernen: dialogi aliqvot festiuissimi, studiosĉ iuuentuti cum primis vtiles: Item eivsdem epigrammata non pavca, vt dictissima, ita & lepidissima. Omniarecens diligenter recognita & emendataJohn Ravisius [or Johannes Ravisius Textor, or Jean Tixier de Revisi], the writer of Nivernen [Nivernais]: dialogues somewhat festive, studious and very useful: also epigrams not very plain, as very eloquent, and very delightful. All recently diligently revised and amended. Londini [London]: Ex officina H. Bynnemani Typographi, Anno Domini. 1581. Hardback, greyish-brown leather binding, probably 18th or more likely 19th century, with maroon title label, gilt-blocked title and raised bands to spine. Blind-stamped design to boards and spine. Octavo/8vo collation but small, measures around 3 1/8" x 4 7/8" x 1 1/4", circa 400-500 pages (see below for explanation of unusual pagination and collation)Scuffing and wear to binding, some discolouration but reasonably clean. Bumping and a little tearing to corners, and to head of spine. Otherwise, binding firm. A little cracking to title label but intact, with some discolouration. Deckled page edges, which are very browned, scuffed and otherwise marked. small bookseller label to front pastedown. Some marking, a little staining and foxing around pastedowns and endpapers. Toning, staining, a little light foxing and other marking throughout. Some creasing, dog-eared corners and the odd tear, with loss to a few leaves including to title leaf, which is missing a few characters of text at bottom left-hand corner and is quite fragile and only attached at top. Heavy ink staining to several leaves towards end of book. Occasional underlining, marginalia and a little text scored out in several latter pages. Very unusual and defective page numbering. Firstly, the numbering is of each leaf, not each page, and the print is a little unclear for some figures. It appears to run (after the initial three blank endpapers and preliminary pages that could presumably be numbered i - vi, being the tile page to end of 'epistole') from leaf 1 - 20, 13 or 18, 25[?], 23 - 25, iB(?), 27, blank, 20 - 35, 6, 64 - 72, 74, 74 repeating, 76, 76 (repeating) - 92. However, the leaves do not appear to be pages out of order, nor duplications, and the pages do all seem to be in correct sequence, so it appears to be a printing fault rather than a binding one. The order of the page collation is more accurate sequentially, though even then there are a few oddities, running, after the first three blank endpapers, (on the basis of numbers denoted on leaves as i-v, then vi-viii blank) from A i - F viii, then G ii, G, G iv, G iii, blank, G v - T viii, [no use of U] V, [no use of W] X - Z viii, Aa i - Ff ii, Gg ii-Gg iii, Ff iv, Gg ii, Gg iv, Gg iii, Gg v - Ii v, with blank leaves Ii vi-vii removed and three blank endpapers. See pictures for further information. About the author: John Ravisius, or Johannes Ravisius Textor, or Jean Tixier de Revisi (c. 1470-1542) was a French Renaissance humanist scholar and professor of rhetoric. He was born in Ravisi, which is near the commune of Saint-Saulge in the central province of Nivernais. His works, which are mostly on the topic of education, were widely accepted and employed by French academia. Tixier eventually adopted the Latinised name Johannes Textor Ravisius, Nivernensis. Per the epitaph on his headstone, Tixier was born in 1470, and died on 3 December 1542. According to Victor Gueneau, other scholars pretend that he died on 13 December 1524, and that his brother, Jacques, completed Jean's book l'Origine de l'imprimerie ("The Origin of Printing"). Similarly, some authors report his year of birth to be approximately 1480. Tixier studied humanities at the College of Navarre. When he graduated, he accepted a position in the college's rhetoric department; there he impressed faculty and students alike. In 1520, he accepted a position. n.
