Hardback, 223 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503042718. Le volume 127 de la Continuatio Mediaevalis contient trois ouvrages de Guibert de Nogent, l'un des auteurs les plus interessants du 12e siecle. Le premier de ces trois est en meme temps le premier qu'il ait compose: methodique et plein de bon sens, il donne des suggestions comment il convient de composer un sermon et de retenir jusqu'au bout l'attention de l'auditoire. Le deuxieme traite de deux questions brulantes a l'epoque, a savoir si Judas avait bien recu l'Eucharistie comme les autres apotres, et si ce sacrement n'a qu'une valeur symbolique ou correspond a une realite. La piece de resistance est fournie par l'un des ouvrages les plus remarquables de tout le moyen age latin, celui sur les saints et leurs reliques. C'est surtout dans le premier livre que l'auteur donne libre cours a son aversion des pratiques courantes en son temps. Son point de depart est la pretention des moines de Saint-Medard de Soissons de posseder une dent du Christ. En appendice sont publies deux autres textes, anonymes ceux-la, qui se rapportent egalement a cette dent. On a longtemps cru posseder l'autographe de l'ouvrage, qui n'a ete conserve que dans un seul manuscrit provenant de Nogent-sous-Coucy meme. Cette these est insoutenable. Comme il s'agit de la premiere edition critique de Guibert de Nogent qui ait jamais paru -l'autobiographie (Fr. Dolbeau) et les Dei gesta per Francos (Huygens) sont en cours de preparation- l'editeur s'est efforce, tant dans l'introduction que dans les notes et les indices, de traiter dans le detail l'orthographe et de reunir le plus grand nombre d'expressions et de passages paralleles tires des autres ecrits de Guibert.

In-8° (200x130mm), pp. 298, (2), cartonatura rustica bicolore coeva con titolo calligrafato su tassello cartaceo al dorso. Stemma sabaudo inciso al frontespizio. Minime fioriture. Una firma antica al titolo. Bella copia in barbe. Prima edizione, molto rara. Storia araldica e cronologica dei personaggi che ebbero un ruolo di rilievo nell'Ordine della SS. Annunziata dalla sua fondazione ad opera del Conte Verde, Amedeo VI di Savoia, sino al 1785. Dell'opera doveva apparire anche un secondo volume, che, tuttavia, non vide mai la luce. Il Cigna Santi (Torino, 1725 o 1730 - ivi, 1785 ?), poeta ed erudito, membro dell'Accademia dei Trasformati di Milano, lasciò numerosi componimenti d'occasione e fu il principale librettista del Teatro Regio di Torino nella stagione 1754-55 (suoi libretti furono messi in musica dal Traetta, dal Cocchi, dal Pugnani e perfino, nel caso del suo Mitridate re di Ponto, da Mozart, dopo che in un primo tempo esso era stato musicato dal Gasparini). Scrive a proposito della presente sua compilazione storica Gianni Marocco, nella voce a lui dedicata nel Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani (XXV, 1981): Il 17 marzo 1785 rassegnò le dimissioni, essendo stato nominato dal re istoriografo del supremo Ordine della Sma Annunziata. Nel clima di moderato rinnovamento culturale promosso dalla Sampaolina e dalla Patria Società letteraria (1782), e contrassegnato dal fiorire di un'erudizione: storica d'ispirazione muratoriana, egli sembra volgere tutto a interessi antiquari. e genealogici, non comparendo, tuttavia, in rapporto con gl'intelletti più vivaci della, capitale. Nel'1786 il Cigna Santi pubblicò la Serie cronologica de' cavalieri dell'Ordine supremo di Savoia. (Torino 1786). L'esemplare della Bibl. Reale di Torino presenta una dedica autografa al Vernazza (Amicus ad amicum). Il Cigna Santi appare vicino a personaggi di rigida ortodossia dinastica e di orientamento conservatore come il Berta e il Rangone, consigliere di Stato incaricato nell'81 di compiere approfondite ricerche per confermare la discendenza sassone della dinastia sabauda, fondata sull'interpretazione della cronaca di Ditmaro ma negata dal Muratori. I risultati obiettivi a suffragio della tesi del Rangone furono ben scarsi (Arch. di Stato di Torino, Storia della R. Casa, I, m. 2 e 3). Comunque il Cigna Santi (Memoria) l'appoggiò totalmente, anzi collaborò con l'amico a stendere i materiali accumulati in una compilazione rimasta incompiuta (dovrebbe trattarsi del ms. della Bibl. Reale, Miscell. Storia patria 64, Memorie storiche intorno all'origine di Beroldo di Sassonia). Cfr. Spreti, 999. Saffroy, I, n. 3975. Manno, I, 2621. D.B.I., cit. Italiano.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First. THE PADUA--HUTH--MENDEL--LILLY COPY. First edition. Folio in 6s (12" x 8 1/8", 305mm x 207mm). [Full collation available.] With a folding woodcut world map by Petrus Apianus. Bound by Bedford (signed at the upper edge of the verso of the first free end-paper) in mirror calf.

Author and title gilt to brown morocco in the second panel, imprint gilt to brown morocco in the third. Gilt strokes to the head- and tail-pieces. Double gilt fillets to the edges of the boards. Gilt inside dentelle. Marbled end-papers. All edges of the text-block gilt. Presented in a deep brown pull-off case made by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. Evidently cleaned and pressed. Lacking final blank (cc4). Some bumping to the fore-corners, with the front hinge starting. A little foxing to the map. Superb margins all-round. With the bookplates of Huth and of Mendel on the front paste-down. Inkstamp of the "PUBBLICA LIBRERIA DI PAD." to the title-page. Deaccession inkstamp of the Lilly Library at Indiana University, dated in pencil "2 Nov 1962" to the blank following the text's colophon (F4v). Gaius Julius Solinus wrote his treatise De mirabilibus mundi (On the wonders of the world) -- also called the Polyhistor ("very learned"), as here -- in the first half of the third century of the current era. Although it draws on the work of Pliny and Pomponius Mela, it sets its observations on customs and peoples in a firmer chorographical-cartographical framework. Its editio princeps (1473) was before the discovery of the New World, and so its awareness of the world was surpassed only east- and southward. Over time, the Polyhistor along with the work of Pomponius Mela and Ptolemy became the framework for modern atlases. The present work is not (only) the Polyhistor but the commentary (enarrationes) of Johannes Camers, the Franciscan (Friar Minor, per the title) humanist. Laid out in the traditional manner of a manuscript commentary, the text unfurls from the spine and is ringed on three sides by notes on the text. The text and commentary are followed by Camers's index of locations, which is indeed "perco[m]modus Studiosis," very convenient for scholars. The map of Peter Apian (Petrus Apianus) had long been thought the earliest appearance of "America" -- i.e., South America -- on a map, but it has been antedated by Waldseemüller's 1507 map Universalis Cosmographia, of which only one copy survives (in the Library of Congress; Waldseemüller also made gores for a globe in the same year, which survive in a few more instances). It is nevertheless a tremendously important account of westward-expanding knowledge of the world. Our copy's first possessor to leave a mark was the University of Padua (styled the "pubblica libreria" after the biblioteca Marciana (libreria pubblica di San Marco in Venice)), whose library was established in 1629 -- the oldest Italian university library. Its point of exit from that collection is unclear, but its next marked possessor is Henry (or his son Alfred Henry) Huth, a bibliophile father-and-son the likes of which have never again been seen. Sold by Sotheby's 1911-1920 in nine parts, the library altogether made £350,000 ($900,000 according to the New York Times). The present item is lot 6938 (part 7, 8 July 1918). Quaritch, the nonpareil London bookseller, bought the volume and sold it to Bernardo Mendel (1895-1967). Mendel was a decorated Viennese WWI soldier who, luckily, moved to Colombia in 1928 and remained there until 1952. He began collecting material principally related to the Americas, and eventually ran the Harper bookshop in New York. His collection eventually was given to the Lilly Library at the University of Indiana at Bloomington beginning in 1961, and it is from this collection that the present item was released as a duplicate.

8vo (120 x 170 mm). 2 vols. bound in one. 352 pp.; 412, (4) pp. Contemporary vellum marbled in red and blue inks, spine with later manuscript title. First printing of this anti-Jesuit work, anonymously published by the Dominican theologian Tabaglia, a general of the Inquisition. The work forms part of the ongoing war of pamphlets, open letters and (as in this case) fully-fledged books that responded to or defended the criticism which the Dominican Domingo Navarrete hat levelled against the Jesuits' mission in China a quarter of a century earlier. In Part I, Tabaglia quotes from writings on the controversy by Jesuit theologians and missionaries in China. In defence of the Jesuit position, excerpts are given from Alvaro Longobardi (Ricci's successor), Alvaro Semedo, Antonio Gouvea and others. In Part II the author examines Confucianism and the rites honouring Confucius, as they relate to Jesuit practices in making converts. - From the first issue of Matteo Ricci's "Directives" in 1600 and 1603 to the Jesuits' suppression in 1773, a protracted and acrimonious controversy ensued between Rome, the Society of Jesus and other religious orders over the interpretation of T'ien-chu ("Lord of Heaven") and the accommodation of Confucian rites in Catholic practice. In line with early 17th century Christian humanism, Ricci equated T'ien-chu with God, holding that the rites and veneration of ancestors were not idolatrous. A long and heated pamphlet war ensued, fueled by missionary rivalries largely between the Dominicans, the Propaganda Fide of Rome, and the Jesuits, over toleration of these rites. Rome first restricted use of the Rites by the Jesuits in 1645; then in 1656 allowed that local custom be respected. For over 100 years successive popes both condemned and condoned Jesuit interpretation and practice of the Rites by Chinese converts. Along with other Dominicans, Fernando de Navarette, in China from 1657 and virulently anti-Jesuit, called for a more robust response from Rome. In 1692 the Ch'ing emperor K'ang-hsi, a scholar and reformer, issued an edict of toleration regarding Christian conversions, but required all missionaries in China to sign a declaration that ancestor worship and public homage to Confucius were civil rather than religious ceremonies and could continue to be practised by converts, echoing Ricci. While most Jesuits signed, the Dominicans and Franciscans did not. Damning reports on the state of the Jesuit missions by Bishop Charles Maigrot of the Missions Etrangeres de Paris in China and by Charles Toumon, papal legate to China in 1681, were presented to Rome, and in 1700, following other universities' pronouncements, the Sorbonne issued a strongly worded censure of the Jesuits. By 1773 Rome finally chose to preserve strict Catholic doctrine and outlaw any use of the Rites, at the expense of losing converts. The Jesuits were expelled, and the Society of Jesus was not restored until 1814. - Very rare; OCLC locates only 3 ocpies (British Library; National Library Rome, Research Library Olomouc). - Spine a little faded.
