Hortulus Anime (4 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. An extremely scarce early 16th century edition of the Hortulus Anime, also known as the Hortulus Animae, or Little Garden of the Soul. A well-known work of devotion and of moral instruction the Hortulus was first printed on 13 March 1498, at Strasbourg by Wilhelm Schaffener of Ribeauvillé, followed by German versions appearing in 1501. Later editions, including this one, were illustrated by woodcuts by the well-known engravers Hans Springinklee and Erhard Schon. There are 83 full page woodcuts throughout, two large woodcuts of the sun and moon, and several smaller in text woodcuts. Some of the leaves have underlining and the occasionally annotation. One of the final index leaves is lacking. This volume has been newly rebound. Worldcat and USTC record two existing copies of this collated edition in libraries. One volume in 32mo (10 x 8.4cm), (20)+CCXLI+(10 of 11) leaves Having been rebound, this volume is in very good shape, with virtually no rubbing or wear to the binding. The leaves have been trimmed so sharply by a prior binder that the pagination has been cut off, though a later owner had the forethought to number the main leaves up to leaf 200. Some of the leaves at the centre are heavily browned, including the title page, with some scattered staining throughout, and wear to some of the page edges. The last leaf has been crudely repaired, with some of the lacking text provided in facsimile.…

Dodgson I, 562. - "Zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts fand das kleine Andachtsbuch `Hortulus Animae` ungewöhnlich große Nachfrage. Zwischen 1498 und 1523 erschienen über 100 Ausgaben dieser Sammlung von Gebeten, die in deutscher Übersetzung meist als `Seelengärtlein` bezeichnet wurde. . Allen gemeinsam sind der Kalender, das kleine Marienoffizium, die sieben Bußpsalmen, die Allerheiligenlitanei, die Suffragien und das Totenoffizium." (Ausstellungskatalog Schäfer 71). - A prayer book which both in its Latin and German forms was exceedly popular in the early years of the sixteenth century. The first known edition was printed at Strasburg by William Schaffener of Rappeltsweiler, and is dated 13 March, 1498. After that date new editions with various supplements and modifications were constantly issued by other printers both in Strasburg and other German cities, and even at Lyons. Many of them, though small in size, were illustrated with beautifully designed woodcuts. Mr. C. Dodgson gives a list of eighteen editions between 1516 and 1521, all of which contained cuts by the well-known engravers Hans Springinklee and Erhard Schön. The earliest German edition appeared in 1501, but the Latin editions on the whole predominate. With regard to its contents, the "Hortulus" bears a general resemblance to the Horae and Primers which were then the form of prayer book most familiar in France and England. As in these latter, the Little Office of our Lady always occupies the place of honour, but the "Hortulus" contains a greater variety of popular prayers, many of them recommended by curious and probably spurious indulgences. The name "Hortulus Animae" was derived not from the aesthetic but from the utilitarian aspects of a garden, as is shown by the three Latin distichs prefixed to most copies of the work. The first two lines run (but not in this copy): Ortulus exiguus varias ut saepe salubres / Herbas producit, quas medicina probat. (A tiny garden will often produce a variety of salutary herbs of which medicine knows the value). - "The Clein-Koberger editions of the `Hortulus` are representative of a publishing area which may be considered the German equivalent of the French Horae B. M. V. The text was composed of an Office of the Virgin and a variety of popular prayers, including prayers of individual saints. The early Clein editions are illustrated with blocks which may have been supplied by A. Koberger or cut by French artists working in the German techniques. With the introduction of the Springinklee-Schön cuts in 1516, these editions are no longer French but German illustrated books" (Mortimer, French 320). - Es fehlt das vorletzte Blatt (mit dem Druckvermerk). - Einige wenige Holzschnitte mit alter unsachgemäßer Ankolorierung (fast nur in Schwarz und Gelb). Vom Anfang gegen die Mitte abnehmend mit kleinen Wurmlöchern. Durchgehend etw. wasserrandig und etw. gebräunt, kaum fleckig. Das letzte Blatt (Druckermarke) mit altem hs.

O Hortulus Anime - literalmente O Pequeno Jardim da Alma - é um pequeno livro devocional, com orações e pensamentos cristãos, muito procurado no final do séc. XV e no início do séc. XVI. Entre 1498 e 1523 publicaram-se mais de 100 edições, contendo todas um pequeno calendário, os Ofícios da Virgem Maria, os Salmos penitenciais, os Santos e um Oficio de Defuntos. O "Hortulus" contém uma variedade de orações populares, muitas delas recomendadas para indulgências, provavelmente falsas. O nome "Hortulus Animae" não foi derivado da estética, mas a partir dos aspectos utilitários de um jardim, como é demonstrado pelos títulos latinos da maioria dos exemplares da obra, sugerindo uma ?cultura? do espírito tal como a cultura de um jardim no qual o espirito deveria ser 'curado no jardim do Senhor' (vide fólio 50). As edições mais conhecidas foram a primeira edição impressa em Estrasburgo por William Rappeltsweiler, em 1498 e a edição de Lublin na Polónia, que foi o primeiro livro impresso em polaco e cujo único exemplar conhecido desapareceu durante a 2ª Grande Guerra. No que diz respeito ao seu conteúdo, o "Hortulus Animae" tem uma semelhança geral com os livros de horas que eram na época o livro de orações mais familiar em França e em Inglaterra. In 8º [9.7 x 7.5 cm] with 290 folios. Contemporary full leather binding with raised bands on spine and blind tools on boards (letters P and R blind engraved on both boards). Illustrated with red and black woodcut on first page and a vignette. Woodcuts on the calendar (sun and moon); woodcut text frames with decorative themes; several almost full-page woodcut engravings and text printed in black and red. Copy with erased (contemporary) ownership title at the bottom of the title page. Work beautifully printed in two colours (black and red), decorative vignettes, and illustrations, drawn and printed in high detail, on almost every page. The Hortulus Anime ? literally ?The Little garden of the Soul? ? is a small religious book, with prayers and Christian thoughts, much sought-after by the end of the 15th century, beginning of the 16th century. Between 1498 and 1523 there were published over 100 editions, all of them including a small calendar, the ceremonies of the Virgin Mary, the penitential psalms, the Saints, and Funeral ceremonies. The most known editions are the first edition printed in 1498 in Strasburg by William Rappeltsweiler, and the Lublin edition, in Poland, which was the first book printed in Polish, having the only existing copy disappeared during World War II. In what concerns its contents, the "Hortulus Animae" is very similar to the books of hours that at the time were the most familiar books of prayers both in France and England. The "Hortulus" contains a variety of popular prayers, many of them recommended for indulgencies, probably false. The name "Hortulus Animae" didn?t have its origin in aesthetics, but in the useful aspects of a garden, like it can be seen in the Latin titles of most of the copies of this work, suggesting a ?cultivation? of the spirit like the cultivation of a garden, and where the spirit should be ?healed in the garden of the Lord? (vide folio 50). Ref.: - Moreau IV, 1037 para outra edição na mesma data publicada por Jean Kerbriant [for another edition published on the same date by Jean Kerbriant]. - John Adams I, H 1006.
