Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1514 RARE Parthenice Mariana Carmelite Mantuanus Hagiography Badius P. Incunable Baptista Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15th-century works were influential during the Protestant Reformation. Perhaps the most influential of his works was Parthenice Mariana a collection of hagiographic poems each of which honored the lives church fathers, Catholic saints and theologians, classical writers and philosophers, mythical heroes, and iconic biblical figures. Notable names include: the Virgin Mary Catherine of Alexandria Hippolytus of Rome Euripides Jesus Christ Hercules Hesiod Polybius And many more (see photos of the table for a complete list of contents) These poems would become the basis for a new style of writing the epic poem on religious subjects which heavily influenced Erasmus and John Milton. This incredibly rare 1514, post-incunable printing of Mantuanus s Parthenice features two sets of commentary one from Sebastian Murrho and the other of Josse Badius.

(and :) (3) Epistola Gregory connari Pronotary ad Joannes Monacum Cartusine. [11 1/2] pages of text with corrections, deletions & marginal notes, dated at end : Florence, 5 March 1448. 1. A letter of congratulation by the papal Proto-notary Apostolic Connarus to the 'illustrious virgin Cecilia de Gonzaga ' for becoming a Clarissan nun in 1445 at the age of 19. The Mantuan noblewoman (1426-1451) was a humanist scholar famous for her learning & chastity and her outstanding beauty and elegance. Educated by Vittorino da Feltre, she had become an accomplished classicist in a School founded by him in Mantua in 1423. Connarus praises her for renouncing worldly honours & pleasures and for devoting her life to God; he exhorts her to exchange her studies of the poets inspired by her tutor Vittorino for reading the works of the Holy Fathers. The letter would have been sent on behalf of the Venetian pope Eugene IV (1431-47), a friend of art and learning. Cecilia had rejected the wishes of her father, Gianfrancesco Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua (1395-1444), who wanted her to make a dynastic marriage to Oddantonio da Montefeltro, first duke of Urbino. The marquess had invited Vittorino da Feltre to become tutor to his family of five children and to make Mantua a centre of art and learning. The manuscript is strictly contemporary to the events. Cecilia de Gonzaga died 3 years later in 1451 at the age of 26. (The outstanding early 15th century medallist Pisanello (c1380-c1455) favoured by the Gonzaga dynasty honoured Cecilia's noble character with a portrait showing her with a unicorn struck in 1447, predating this manuscript by one year). 2. Gregory Connarus here recommends the papal letter to Vittorino da Feltre (1378-1446) the celebrated humanist teacher of Cecilia de Gonzaga, amended with notes and comments by the editor Johannes Maguntius. Vittorino was trained at Padua and made his reputation as a teacher of Latin and Greek. In his new role in Mantua, he had permission to found and direct an innovative mixed boarding school for gifted boys and girls of all classes to impart humanist learning and culture; the School, his dream realized, became known as 'La Gioconda' for its happy environment and ensured his lasting fame as one of the first great modern educators. 3. A lengthy theological discourse by Connarus to a Carthusian monk, at a time when the Order was at its greatest influence across Europe. The scholarly manuscript deserves detailed study; it is well preserved; originally bound in a sammelband with consecutive numbers inked in centre blank tailend margins; for manuscripts by Johannes Maguntinus (Johann von Mainz), see : Marie Antonietta Casagrande Mazzoli & Mauro (University of Udine) 'La tabula ad regandum' recording 23 manuscripts by Johannes Maguntinus.
