Add to basketPaperback, 450 p., + 12 pl., 130 x 210 mm. ISBN 9782503505572. Le Livre des abeilles de Thomas de Cantimpre (XIIIe siecle), comparaison morale entre la vie des abeilles et celle du cloitre, est celebre par son tresor d'anecdotes, de souvenirs, de polemiques furibondes qui font revivre tout un milieu, et plus precisement nous int…roduisent a une certaine vision medievale. C'est un monde enchante qui s'ouvre devant nous, un monde ou le miracle est quotidien aussi bien que l'intervention satanique. L'appel a la vie mystique s'y mele a des poussees de violence (par exemple a l'egard des juifs). A chaque instant on peut cueillir des details savoureux sur la vie des couvents, les activites des seigneurs, les fetes populaires, les survivances de la mythologie nordique plus ou moins bien integree. Tout cela se passe en Brabant, pays d'origine de Thomas, en France du Nord, en Rhenanie, mais aussi en des regions plus lointaines, de plus en plus riches en mirages. Languages : French. 0 g.

Add to basketLeather. Condition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. 160 unnumbered leaves, sig: AA8; a-p8 q4, A-C8, D4. Quarto in 8s measuring 10x7". Bound in full old leather with blind stamped borders, many repairs, rebacked, lovely patina. Red and black title page with richly illustrated architectural frame above two woodcuts representing Christ'…s passion, centered on Vincent's large woodcut printer's mark. The text, in a lovely Gothic text, is beautifully illustrated with 16 woodcuts (some repeats) with scenes from Boethius's life, and 5 woodcut diagrams, along with 1 large historiated initial and many smaller initials. Another smaller Vincent printer's mark is on the verso of the last leaf. The text is framed by commentary in smaller type. In two parts, the first containing the Consolation of Philosophy, with commentary by Badius, Palasinus and Pseudo-Aquinas (now identified as Thomas Waleys). The second part has separate signatures and title: Boetius de disciplina scholarium ab Ascensio compediose dilucieo explanatus. While once attributed to Boethius, it is now thought to be by Thomas de Cantimpre. This particular copy is framed by 3 manuscript pages all in the same secretary hand: the first, on the front pastedown, and the last as the free end paper with manuscript filling recto and verso. There is also a stub of old vellum manuscript with red and blue penwork that is visible at the gutter of a1, more of which can be glimpsed through the rear pastedown. An interesting and complicated production of Boethius. On the verso of the title are two poems by Jacobus Soqualha, and on the verso of AA8 (the Tabula) , is a letter published by Nicolas Crescius in his 1507 Florence edition of De Consolatione. Ancius Manlius Severinus Boethius was the greatest Roman philosopher of his era. His translations and commentaries on Aristotle greatly influenced Western philosophy and his On the Consolation of Philosophy was the most widely read book in medieval Europe after the Bible. The story behind the Consolation is tragic: from the high office of Magister Officiorum, the head of the entire civil administration of Rome) under the "barbarian" Emperor Theodoric, Boethis was suddenly accused of treason, arrested and quickly found himself a solitary prisoner ".with death hanging over him, and a terror worse than death, in the fear lest those dearest to him should be involved in the worst results of his downfall. It is in this situation that the opening of the 'Consolation of Philosophy' brings Boethius before us. He represents himself as seated in his prison, distraught with grief, indignant at the injustice of his misfortunes, and seeking relief for his melancholy in writing verses descriptive of his condition. Suddenly there appears to him the Divine figure of Philosophy, in the guise of a woman of superhuman dignity and beauty, who by a succession of discourses convinces him of the vanity of regret for the lost gifts of fortune, raises his mind once more to the contemplation of the true good, and makes clear to him the mystery of the world's moral government. " [James: The Consolation of Philosophy of Boethius]. And so refreshed, Boethius went on to face death with classic Roman calm. It is no wonder that this account was so beloved in medieval and early modern times, "a bracing source of philosophic courage for all experiencing adversity. " The manuscript pages at front and back are intriguing. They are not commentary on the Boethius text but a separate account of an ongoing community issue (presumably in France, since one of the names mentioned is Occitan) concerning a "terrible man. " "he fears this un-hoped for man, and the functionary, having heard from the prayer of our travail, he causes to be made a manuscript in the year mentioned above and concerning this terrible man in what month he comes, January and he composes in our presence . "The translation of the three pages is preliminary because the handwriting and abbreviations are difficult. Condition is good. The binding is worn and repaired but still attractive. Interior endpapers have some old booksellers' notes and a small institutional stamp, text has some foxing and browning throughout and an occasional small stain but in general clean and attractive. Top edge of book block has "Boecius" written in an old faded script. An attractive and intriguing copy of a relatively scarce edition, USTC locates only 12 copies and just a few of the earlier editions, as well. OCLC 660081380, USTC 145373. The manuscript pages are, of course, unique. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 320 pages.
