NoTA Bene. — In consequence of iU health the proofs of this Catalogue
were not as carefully revised by me as they ought to have been, and some
misprints and even slight inaccuracies escaped my attention (for instance in
the notes of lots 5271, 5653-55, 6445, &c. &c.) which the inteUigent reader
will easily detect and forgive.

Sun during the various seasons. Magini speaks also of the Camera Oscura

Atlieists and Atheism. This work contains a long poem, in French, in hex-
meter verse.

An exceedingly interesting collection, which is of a very rare occurrence,
and seldom to be found complete. Father Mersenne was m constant corres-
pondence with all the most celebrated men of his time, namely, Galileo,
Torricelli, Pascal, Descartes, Fermat, Roberval, &c. and in this collection has
published, besides his own writings, most imjiortant works and letters of
his eminent friends not to be found elsewhere, and including, not only
tlieir discoveries, but also their scientific quarrels. In these volumes, so
highly important for the history of sciences, there are ancient marginal
annotations, very probably in the handwriting of Mersenne himself.

old calf ^ folio. Paris, chez Pierre T Huillier, 1572
This edition was superintended by the famous Denys Sauvage, and is pro-
nounced by Brunet " le plus belle que nous ayons de ces Chroniques."
Monstrelet commences precisely where Froissart leaves off, and although
his pages are not painted in the delightful style of his predecessor, still
there is a quaint charm about his writings that will always attract numerous
readers. In spite of Eabelais' reproach of his being " baveux comme un
pot a moutarde," the naive pages of Monstrelet must be studied by all
who wish to fathom the causes of recorded effects. These Chrouicles are
a_ fruitful mine, whence may be dug out an immense quantity of precious
historical documents in the shape of harangues, edicts, pleadings, decla-
rations of war, treaties, &c. &c. all given entire.

This Work is so excessively rare that Lalande coidd never see a copy, and
it is extremely interesting to the collector, as containing the earliest known
title-page bearing the printers' names and date on the first page, which up
to this time were invariably placed as a colophon at the end. The fly-
leaves (four leaves) of ancient veUum have been taken from an ancient
manuscript of the IXth or Xth Century, of a very curious character, but
much defaced.
538 THE MISCELLANEOUS PORTION OF
4939 MoNTEREGio (Joanne de) Kalendario :
Questa opra da ogni parte e un libro doro
Non fu piu preciosa gemma mai
Dil Kalendario : che tratta cose asai
Con gran facilita : ma gran lauoro, &c.
LARGE COPT, cuts foUo. VeiietUs, B. Pictor de Augusta,
P. Loslein de Langencen, Erhardus Eatdolt de Augusta, 1476
This Italian version of Monteregio's Kalendar is far rarer than the Latin,
and indeed, as the title expresses, " un libro doro," of which there never
was " piu preciosa gemma." The Calendarium itself is the same as the
Latin, and the other parts differ only in having Italian for the letter-press,
the cuts and capitals being identical. It has the same title as the Latin one,
with the date and the names of the three printers, but in Italian. This
Calendar was undoubtedly printed at the same time for the learned and
unlearned, and like Almanacs of the present day those (the Latin) fell into
the hands of astronomers, by whom copies were carefully preserved, whilst
these (the Italian) when the year was out were destroyed as no longer of use.
4940 MoNTEREGio (J. de). Das Biichlin Kalendarius durch M. Johan von
Kiingsperg (Monteregio), cuts
folio. Venedig, Bernhart Maler'Erliart Batdolt voiiAvgspurg, 1478
This German edition is still rarer than the Latin or Italian copies of 1476,
and has escaped Ebert and even the indefiitigable researches of M. Brunet,
who does not mention it. The Kalendar itself is in some parts different
from the Latin, the cuts, capitals, and figures however being identical,
having, also German letter-press substituted for the use of the vulgar.
The forms had evidently been kept standing, and a Kalendar for Germany
havmg been called for this edition was the result. Speaking of Monte-
regio's Kalendar, the verses on title-page state : —
" Das hat gemacht maister hans von kiinigsperg genannt
In teutschen und welschen landen wol erkant," &c.
No copy of this rarity appears to have been ever sold by public auction.
\* The three Almanacs described above are of such extreme rarity that the
first two have been seen only by very few, and the last seems to have escaped
the notice of aU the principal bibliographers. In a learned dissertation
"On the earliest printed Almanacs," inserted in the "Companion to the
Almanac for 1 846," Mr. De Morgan quotes from the Plamsplmrium of Bartsch
the first of the above three, the Latin Kalendarium printed at Venice, in
1476, but does not seem to have been acquainted -with the second (the Italian
one), pi-inted by the same printers in the same year, in the same town, and
possibly printed (for Italian people in Italy) previously to the Latin edition.
As for the German Kalendarium, published at Venice in 1478, with the
exception of Hain, w?i,o saw only an imperfect co^n/ of it, it seems to have
remamed unknown to all bibliographers; although besides its rarity, it has
also the merit of being the second German book printed out of Germany,
the first being the Golden Bidl printed by Jenson, also at Venice, in
1476 or 1477. This German Kalendarium differs in many points from the
previous two of 1476; the arrangement of the matter and contents seeming
different. We must add, that the number of leaves differs also in the
various editions, and even in the various copies, in consequence of the plates
having been in some copies pasted together (on the blank sides of the
leaves) as it is often the case in block books, while in others they remained
separated. The Latin and Italian editions of 1476 consist of 32 leaves
each, while the German edition of 1478 has 30 leaves. No doubt, from the
inspection of an hnperfect copy, Hain was induced to say that tliis last
edition has only 28 leaves instead of 30.

A first-rate work, containing the foundation of the whole of the modem

sur les Revolutions du Globe, par A. Bertrand," with annotations by Arago,
de Beaumont, &c. (Paris, 1839, in 8vo.) Unfortunately, even in Italy, the
illustrious name of Moro is not so generally known, as it ought to be, as
one of the greatest champions of Italian science.

The editor, John Balesdens, was the celebrated book-collector, and famous for
recommending the French Academy to prefer the gi-eat Cokneille as a

This volume formerly belonged to the famous physician, Nicholas de Nancel,
born in 1539, of parents so poor as to be unable to give him even the rudi-
ments of education, and yet at the early age of 13 achieving for himself
such celebrity as subsequently to obtain the degree of Master of Arts and a
Professorship. It is a great curiosity, as in his autograph there is an
interlineary translation of the Poem of Musseus, with his signature " Sura
Nicolai Nancelii," having the date of 1552, in which year he could have
been barely 13, attending Lectures in the College of Presles, and probably
without funds to get his book bound, as the Translation has evidently
been written whilst still in sheets. As a memorial of the pursuit of know-
ledge under extraordinary difficulties, this volume is truly interesting.

A most important Manuscript upon pure vellum of the end of the Xlth or
beginning of the Xllth Century, having at the top of the fii-st page the
name of the donor, " Hartraannus tradidit librum istum," a very rare
occurrence in ancient manuscripts, and also the mention " Liber S' Petri
in Augia Minori" at the end, and various other devices of former pos-
sessors. What gives to this venerable manuscript an additional importance
is the fact that the whole of the Lamentationes jEREMiiE at the end
are with the ancient musical notes {neumes), as generally used before
Guido d' Arezzo, thus affording a proof that the present manuscript,
written by diflerent hands, but in every part equally ancient, including
the two notes, "Hartraannus tradidit," etc., and "Liber S. Petri," etc.
was really written before the beginning of the Xllth Century.

Jaques de Gouy was unknown to F^tis as a composer, and therefore no

Manuscript 4^o. ^jec. xvii.
Prefixed is an account of the Embassy of Gio. Paolo Coraggio to Charles V,
and at the end are other Giornali which are not by Castaldo, who was a
Notary Public at Naples. His Giornali are veiy valuable as affording
much curious information respecting the Emperor and the Neapolitan
manners in tlie XVIth Century. His work has been printed, but as his
publisher took bribes to suppress those details which might be an annoy-
ance to certain wealthy Neapolitan families, the uncastrated MSS. are
eagerly sought for in Italy.
5153 Napoli. Castaldo (Notar A.) Istoria di Napoli dal Principio clie
Carlo V ebbe Dominio del Eegno sino all' Anno 1571
Mantjsceipt 4^0. S^c. xvii.
These Memoirs, entering into the most minute details of public and private
events during the reign of Charles V, contain more information respecting
the manners and customs of the Neapolitans during the XVIth Century
than any work written on the subject. They were printed in the Raccolta di
Btorici Napoletani, but according to Giustiniani and Soria in an expurgated
form, as the publisher negotiated with some wealthy Neapolitan families to
suppress for a stipulated sum of money all facts derogatory to their
ancestors. This MS. would therefore be important in restoring the muti-
lated portions, and be most valuable for a new edition.

phfenomena, the Disfida di Barletta, &c. The work is written in the
Neapolitan dialect, of which the following under the date _ of _ 1496 is
a specimen : " per li franciosi fo presa una terra nominata li liuninlaquale

This work complete is of rare occurrence. Weiss, who wrote the Life of
F. A. Grimaldi in the "Biographic Universelle", erroneously attributes this

evidently proving that he knew nothing of its having been continued by
Ginesio Grimaldi. It is a very important work for the History of Southern

Italian language was settled, as he is considered the first Italian historian
who used an Italian language.

584 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OE
OEATIONES OBEDIENTIALES.
*^* The following Orations, on occasions of homage to the Pope, are extremely
curious and interesting, as shelving the Papal Supremacy in former times
over the various nations of the earth. These acknowledgments of the Spiritual
Power of the Popes, are of the rarest occurrence, owing no doubt to the small
number of copies printed, and to their probable destruction after perusal.

never been able to get him to talk in Latin." Tiraboschi also considers

EXTEEMELT EAEE,^«e copy in old calf
Venetiis per Paganinum de Paganinis, 1509
A very important though little-known work, containing much information
respecting the History of Science, and more particularly as regards
Leonardo da Vinci and his great worlds of art as a sculptor in Milan. It
treats of Polyhedrons with algebraic signs of the diflerent powers, and
also on Calligraphy, Avhich is illustrated with a magnificent Alphabet,
designed to show their proportions, by Leonardo da Vinci, who also, as
is distinctly stated by the author in his Dedication to the celebrated Gon-
faloniere Pier Soderini, supplied the other plates, " Vtncii nostri Leonai'di
Manibus Scalpta." The work is of the gi-eatest rai-ity, in a complete
state, and M. Chasles was mistaken when he supposed that the two parts
formed two distinct works printed in different years, as they both bear the
same date, and were undoubtedly published together, as is clear from the
directions at the end of Table of Contents, where we find mentioned,
" Tractatus activse perscrutationis corporum . . . immediate post Archi-
tecturam sequitur." Amongst the plates by Leonardo da Vinci one exhibits
a marvellous human head, and three relate to architecture. Each letter
of the beautiful alphabet is on a separate leaf. If not absolutely the first
certainly this is one of the very earliest books on penmanship ever printed.
A copy is marked 200 francs (£8) in the Tross Catalogue for 1860 (sixth
Supplement, No. 891).

Second edition of a work, " described,'''' says Professor De Morgan, " hy Hutton,
Montuda, Peacock, Libri, <&c. ; but it would yet require a volume of descrip-
tion to do it justice. It is sometimes called the first work on Arithvietic
printed ; but Calandri, Peter Borgo, three already mentioned in the Intro-
duction, and perhaps more, take precedence. I3ut it is certainly the first
printed on Algebra, and probably the first on hoolc-Jceeping ."" Sold for 71 francs

fine copies 8wo. in one vol.
A scarce work, filled with singuLar and curious Paradoxes, but several of them
so licentious and blasphemous that even the French translator Charles
Estiemie, was compelled to omit them in the version he published in 1553.
Landi's name does appear as the author, but we find his usual motto,
" Suisnetroh tabedul " (reversed " ludebat Hortensius ") at end, as well as
a notice from Paolo Mascranico, that the author " fu M. O. L. M. detto
per Sopra Nome il Trliq," (Messer Ortensio Landi Milanese detto il Tran-
quillo). Apostolo Zeno in his notes on Fontanini has proved that Landi
was also the author of the " Confutatione." The Paradossi (1543), without
the " Confutatione," sold for £3. 13s. in the first part of the present

We find in this work the first experiments concernuig the application of the
barometer to tlie mensuration of the height of mountains (see also
"Beriguardi" in the present Catalogue). It is well known that although
Pascal had received from Mersenne the intelligence of TorricelU's discovery
respecting the barometer, he only published it as his own invention. In
this work (m wliich all the pubbshed experunents of Pascal on the subject
appear for the first time) an error is attributed to Galileo respecting the
horreur dxi vide, which we believe to be a mere fabrication of Pascal, or his
adherents.

A book of considerable rarity, and if we may credit Sorell, " adeo rams et
earns nt ejus pretio bibliothecam quamdam parvara quis coemere possit."
This work of Patrizj (who was a Copernican) is full of interesting
scientific disquisitions, but requu-mg a whole volume to relate them. We
must therefore beg to quote only what Patrizj says against the opinions of
ancient Astronomers, including Copernicus, respecting " the Constitution
of the Universe." " Quod ei (Coperuico) absurdum accidit quia putavit
planetas, sicuti alia astra, orbibus infixas ferri, qua3 opinio mala omnia in
Astronomiam, et in Physicam invexit." — {Patridus de Astrarum motu,
p. 104).

604 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OF
5601 Pauli Germani de Middelburgo, Episcopi Foroserapronieusis, de recta
Paschaa observatione, et de die passionis Christi libri II, loith a few
woodcut borders and capitals, very scarce
folio. Forosempronii, per Octavianum Petrutium, 1513
This copy commences on a ii. The work, long kno^mi for its great rarity, is
filled with singular researches for fixing Easter-day and the Death of Our
Saviour. • The Gaignat copy sold for 139 francs. Lucas Paccioli da
Borgo in liis Arithmetica speaks of Paul de Middleburg as " Astrologije
Princeps." The cover is formed by leaves of veUum taken from a manu-
script of the Xth Century.
5602 Pauli de Middelburgo, Episcopi Forosemproniensis, de Numero
Atomorum totius imiversi in Detestationem usurarise Pravitatis et
in Augmentum Montis Pietatis Lucubratio 4<to. Momce, 1518
An exceedingly scarce and curious work, in which the recent establishment at
Rome of Monti cli Pieta (public pawnbroking establishments for lending
money to the needy on pledges) is highly praised, and the evils of usury
strongly commented on. Neither Montucla, Lalande, nor Delambre notice
tliis work by an author who is so well known for his labours in regard to
the correction of the calendar, although we find therein the calculation
of great numbers carried to an unprecedented extent. For instance, the
author notes that the accumulated interest of a single ducat at the end
of 3000 years cannot be expressed by less than a row of 341 numerical
figures, and he also calculates how long it will take to accumulate interest
enough to require the entire equinoctial line to be filled with small numbers
to express the product.
5603 Pauli de Venetiis Summa Naturalium, very large Sf fine copy in the
original oaJc hoards

This very curious work on perspective will be found most useful to artists,
for whose benefit it was written by the author, who was painter to the

pations for each month {excepting June, November and December),
twelve coloured drawings of the signs of the Zodiac, and twelve
others of the same in ink
in the original binding, oak boards, covered with leather, protected by
brass corners, bosses and clasps 4^o. S^c. xv (1471)
A very curious and, for the history of Astronomy, important work, as the
Latin Calendar cum tabulis for 1439 is one of the earliest in existence. This
Nicholas Pfaldorff must have been an astronomer of some note, although
his name appears to have escaped Kiistner, Lalande, Montucla, Delambre,
and other special writers on the subject. The German Calendar which, as
well as the Latin, is highly interesting to the Liturgical student for the
names of the Saints exhibited, is also valuable for the artistic skill dis-
played in the illuminations. Each month is introduced by a quatrain,
written like prose, of which that for January may serve as an example: —
Jener pin ich genantt
Trinken und essen ist mir wol bekant
In disem monad ist nit gut
Von dem menschen lassenn plut.
The Elucidarius was one of the most popular works in the German lan-
guage, printed at least a dozen times between 1479 and 1514, and is still
a favourite Volksbitch, of which the author, or rather translator, has
hitherto been totally unknown. For the philologist this Manuscript
possesses no mean interest, as it exhibits an early specimen of the pure
Saxon dialect adopted subsequently by Luther for his version of the
Bible, and now called Hoch- Teutsch, to distinguish it from the Piatt or
Low-German.

II, Hispaniarum et Indiarum Eegis, imcut 4to. liomce, 1599
A panegyric on the husband of Mary Queen of England. The glossing over
the defeat of tlie Armada, and the wish, " ut h;ec tanta Insula (Britannia)

is finely executed by Cardinal Colonna, who also praises the lung's piety

This is considered the first edition, and was printed by John Mliller, better
known as Johannes Regiomontanus or de Monte Regio, the famous
astronomer, who established at Nuremberg a printing ofiice, whence issued
the first edition of Manilius, his various Kalendaria, and a few other
scientific works, the whole of them of extreme rarity. See also Monte
Regio in tlie present Catalogue. It is well kno^ni that Monte Regio died
at Rome in 1475, and therefore this work, which is supposed to be the first
of those which were issued from the press of Regiomontanus, must be
some years earlier. See lot 4943 in the present Catalogue.

6076 Queva (D. Alfonso della) Eelatione delle Cose di Venetia I'Anno 1618
A MOST iMPOETANT Manxtsckipt 4^0. SiEC. xvii (1618)
Don Alfonso della Queva (perhaps better known as the Marquis de Bedmar)
was the Spanish Ambassador at Venice, who in 1G18 conspired with Don
Pedro de Toledo, Governor of Milan, and the Duke of Ossuna, Vice-Roy
of Naples, to overturn the Republic he was accredited to. This con-
spiracy, so celebrated by St. Real's graphic description, later historians
have attempted to decry as imaginary, because the originator, the wily
Bedmar, was allowed to escape to INIilan, and lost nothing of favour with
the Spanish King, who even exerted himself in procuring for his protege a
Cardinal's Hat from Pope Gregory XV, and sent him to govei-n the Low
Countries. Policy, not to involve the Republic in a war with Spain, seems
to have guided the Senate in screening the guilty Ambassador, and his own
account of a transaction, hitherto shrouded in mystery, is therefore most
interesting and well deserving of publication.

first edition of Ramus (Arithmetic) is said to be of 1584." Even Dr. M.
Cantor, in his Life of Kamus, regrets that he was unable to procure a copy
of this edition, but was obbged to content himself with quoting from that

Tartalea, Cardan, &c. This interesting work, which contains much infor-

poetical Admonition "to studye in the Authors Woorkes, appertainyng to
the mathematicalles," and the Ad\'ice " to amend the faultes " show that
Dr.jllecorde was no mean poet. In the " Companion to the Almanack for the

and of its author who " was the first who wrote on Arithmetic in English —
the first who ^vi'Ote on Geometry in English — the first who introduced

who adopted the system of Copernicus. He died in 1558 in prison."

4ito. Friburgi, per Jo. Schottum, 1503
This encyclopaedia of human knowledge in the XVth century is extremely
curious, and is divided into twelve books, thus : — I. Grammaticte Rudi-
menta; II. Dialecticai Principia ; III. Rhetoricae Partes ; IV. Arithmetica;
V. Musica; VI. Geometria; VII. Astronomia (including Cosmography,
Astrology, Necromancy, Pyromancy, Geomancy, &c.) ; VIII. Natural
Philosophy ; IX. De Origrne Rerum Natm-alium ; X. and XI. De
Potentiis Animse (including descriptions of Hell, Pui-gatory and Limbo) ;
and XII. De Principiis Philosophiae Moralis. Respecting this celebrated
work, and the present edition, which, by Dr. Kloss was considered to be
the first, see a long account in the admkable work of Prof. De Morgan on
Arithmetical Books.
6171 Eeisch (Gr.) Margarita Philosophica, numerous curious woodcuts with
xylographic inscriptions, in the original oak binding, covered tcith
stamped leather, having brass corners and centre bosses
4ito. Argentines, J. Schottus, 1504
This rare and curious book may be regarded as the cyclopfedia of scientific
knowledge of its time, and must have been highly popular if we regard the
number of editions issued. " If," says Professor De Morgan, " the number
were sufficient of those who wish to take their notions of liberal education
in Europe at the time immediately preceding the Refonnation from original
sources, and not from the reports of others, a reprint of the Margarita
Philosophica would be made. The diversity of the matters which it treats
(Granunar. Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, Astronomy, Natural Philosophy,
Metaphysics, Moral Philosophy, &c.) and the largeness of its circulation,
stamp it as the best book for such a purpose."

be regarded as a Cyclopaedia of Science, see Professor De Morgan's Arith-

additions on arithmetic, mui-ic, etc. is much scarcer than any of the editions

In this almost unknown work Renaldini, who subsequently became one of the
most influential members of the celebrated Academia del Cimento, relates
the discoveries of Vieta and Girard, and uses new curious notations.

1682 — Eenaldini (C.) Paralipomena ad artem analyticam, ib. 1682,
5 parts in 3 vol. vellum folio. Florentice S{ Patavii, 1665-69-84
As Professor De Morgan merely mserts the name of Renaldini in his Index,
without giving the title of the work, it shows that he never was able to see
this scarce Ars Analytica. The Commercium Epistolicum, containing much
astronomical matter, was unknown to Lalande. Both the Paralipomena
and Commercium contain numerous problems rcsjaecting the theory of
numbers. Renaldini was one of the members of the celebrated Accademia
del Cimento, and he was supposed to be the tirst who assigned invariable
limits to the thermometer. See, however, Eschinardi in the present
Catalogue.
6187 Eenaldini ex Montagnoli Comitibus (C.) Naturalis Philosophia, 3 vol.
in 4, plates and diagrams, uncut folio. Patavii, 1696
Renaldini was one of the members of the Academy del Cimento, and the
present woi'k, to give an idea of which would take a volume, contains an
immense number of curious experiments on every part of natural philo-
sophy, including several which have been supposed to be modern dis-
coveries. No work can be better than this for leading to the knowledge
of Italian science about the end of the XVIth Century.

Containing accounts of events in America, Great Britain, &c. This is the
first political French newspaper ever printed, of which it is very difficult

wards added a title and a dedication) contains 162 numbers, with the
exception of Nos. 120 and 121, which are deficient.

length fine portraits of the 10 Potentates and Kings he served or
visited by D. Custodis, including those of Henry VI of England and
James II of Scotland, both unknown to Bromley
very rare ' folio. Augspurg, 1600
The adventures of this Knight-Errant are as interesting as any romance of
chivahy. George of Ehingen informs us that James II, king of Scotland,
was his wife's brother ; and the portraits in this work are said by Custodis
to be exact copies from originals painted by command of Ehingen for him-
self, whilst visiting at the courts of the Emperor Frederic, Charles Vll of
France, Henry VI of England, Ladislaus of Bohemia, Henry IV of
Castile, Alphonso of Portugal, John of Navarre, Rene of Sicily, James II
of Scotland, and John of Cyprus. The travels of this Knight-Errant
(although generally without date to guide u,s) seem to have commenced in
1454 and ended in 1457. He has preiixed a genealogy of his family, from
which it appears he Avas one of nineteen children, and that in his father's
castle resided four other noblemen all with similar large families, the chil-
dren of the five together amounting to 100, all of whom Sir George
sundved. This work is so rare that it was reprinted at Stuttgard in 1842
by the Societe des Bibliophiles.

A very curious work, unknown to Dodd and Wood. The author asserts

ment of Religion is solely to be had from civil Power?" This hit at
Hobbes he winds up with, " Upon which supposition wee might come at
last to worsliip a Fart insteed of God." He affii-ras the Nag's Head Ordi-
nation, and asserts " All that now remaines of your rehgion within the
whole Dominion of this Nation by authority is that among the Articles
upon the surrender of Virginia, the 11 Article is, " That the use of the
Common Prayer Book be permitted there for one yeare ensuing, &c."
There is a break in the pagination from 64 to 73, but nothing is wantmg
and the catchword reads.

VEEY BABE, hut a few letters in the first and second leaves restored in
facsimile hy Harris 4:to. Vicentice, ah Hermanno Levilapide, 1475
This is considered the earliest Pageant ever printed, and is in prose mixed
with verse, written in Italian and occasionally m Latin, including the Epi-
thalamium by Antonio Constantio da Fano, Poeta Laureate. The work,
consisting of 42 leaves, commences on the reverse of A 1 (the obverse
being blank), with " In questo picolo libretto se contiene le admirande
magnificentie e stupendissimi Aparati de le foeUce noze celebrate de lo
Ilhistre segnor di pesaro Constantio ssforza per madama Camilla suo sposa,
e neza de la sacra maiesta del Re Ferdinando." This leaf was deficient in
the Crevenna Copy, which has led Panzer and Hain to give the title as above.
Orlandi and Maittaire ascribe the authorship to the poet Atanagi, who has
wi-itten the description of the feast con amore. Amongst the dishes
(including dainties in Vasi di Majolica) peacocks with outspread tails are
distinctly enumerated, and every imaginable delicacy in pastry and con-
fectionary seems to have rendered the bancpiet unique of its kind.

This important medical cyclopsedia, containing much scientific information
on a great variety of subjects, is dedicated to Robert King of Sicily, who

Salemi in Viridario meo." In chapter cccxciv he describes an early
attempt of lithotripsy.

jewellery under penalty of having it confiscated. They are also, unless they
bear a badge on the right arm, to be subject to whipping. During the
Holy Week and Easter the Jews were forbidden to quit the Hebrew quarter,
called Judtea, and compelled at all times to wear a distinguishing garment.

the Princess Elizabeth, in which the author records that several of these

A very curious and scarce Guide du Voyageur and Post-Office Directory,
compiled by order of Giovanni da I'llerba, Master of the Couriers for
Genoa, who dedicates it to Cardinal San Giorgio. This is probably the
first Posting-Book issued, and when we consider the fate of such pubHca-
tions our only surprise is not its rarity but that even a single copy should
be found at the end of three centuries. The distances of places in Italy,
Spain and France (including accounts of the principal cities) are recorded.
Next is a List of the different Fahs, in which we find England at that
time had but one, commencing 23 August and lasting eight days.

This original edition of a now celebrated work of Steno, who is pronounced
by De Luc to be the founder of geology, is so scarce that even De Luc was
never able to find but the single copy in the British Museum, and was
therefore obliged to content hunself with a few extracts made from it.
An account of this extremely rare work will be found m Dr. Smith's

This edition was unknown to Gamba. To this novelist Moliere was indebted
for the plots of many of his inimitable Comedies, and especially for that of
" I'Ecole des jNIaris," To this same source Dunlop ascribes those fairy-
tales which were so prevalent at the commencement of the XVIIIth
Century. The Favole III and IV of the Notte quinta are written in the
DIALFXTS of Bergamo and Tre^dso. We note as a curious fact that in
Favola III of the Notte nana, Francesco Sforza, the son of " Lodovico il
Moro Duca di J\Iilano," is described as defending himself from several
assassins by means of a sort of Revolver or many-barelled gun.

Revolver in the time of Francesco Sforza. Some of these novels are in the
dialect of Treviso.

This rifacimenio, by the celebrated Italian bard, was burnt by the hangman
by order of the Parliament of Paris. The portrait is quite difterent from
the usual representation of the poet, and clearly shows that in consequence
of so many sufferings Tasso was fast approaching his untimely end.

in 1775.

dates of 1715 and 1717, are in fact the same, a new title only with the
second date having been substituted, and the Corrigenda added at the end.
It is well known that the celebrated theorem of Taylor was for a long
while neglected, and that D'Alembert gave it as a new invention several
years afterwards.

MCCLx Figui'e, &c. In reality a sort of Block-Book, containing 60
different loooilcut figures, in red inJc, so arranged on 22 leaves as to
appear in different positions
excessively rare, if not unique folio. Venetia, 1616
This is a most extraordinary work, apparently totally unknown to all biblio-
graphers as we find no mention either of it, or even of the author, in
Tiraboschi, Zeno, Foscarini, jNIontucla, Brunet, &c. &c. Under the form
of an arithmetrical puzzle or labyrinth, the work contains a solution of
one of the most complicated problems, both of the theory of numbers and
geometry of position, which even to write in algebraic signs would give
some difficulty. The author, a Venetian Noble, and undoubtedly a man
of great mathematical genius, dedicates this his induMnosa. fatica to the
Doge Giovanni Bembo, a most fitting patron, as the labyrinth of letters,
read anyway from the centre, gives in Venetian " Zua:n'e Bembo Dose
per Meriti." The entire work consists of 27 leaves, namely, 3 printed,
(including the title in black and red ink, dedication, and dichiaratione),
2 blank, and 22 for the Figures, which are in red ink on both sides,
with exception of the first and last, which are worked on one side only.
The whole of these figures are woodcuts with xylographic inscriptions.

First edition of the first Greek Grammar, written in the Latin language, and
of the greatest rarity, having been bought up on its appearance with such
avidity by scholars, that Erasmus in one of his letters, written in 1499,
informs us that even then he found it impossible to procure a single copy.
Renouard thus notices this edition, " Ce livre est estremement rare," and
this is borne out by the fact of a copy in Sir Mark Sykes's sale having
produced £12. 15s. The real name of the author, who Avas tutor to
Leo X, was Urbano dalle Fosse. This copy is perfectly bound and com-
plete, and is one of those in which at the end of the fourth page has the
Ave Maria in Greek (see Brunei).

7286 Yallse (Georgii) de expetendis et fugiendis Eebus Opus, 2 vol. icoodcuts
fine large copy, old red morocco, gaufre edges, icith the arms of the
Dauphin at corners and on, back folio. Venetiis, Aldus, 1501
A most splendid specimen of typography, and one of the finest pro-
ductions of the Aldine press. The capital letters are filled in by hand,
and are elegant specimens of Arabesque ornamentation. At the com-
mencement of each volume is a coat of arms emblazoned in gold and
colours. The work commences with " De Arithmetica Libri III," and
then proceeds with music, geometry, astrology, physics, medicine, gi-ammar,
poetics, rhetoric, moral philosophy, &c. Bee Professor De Morgan's
Arithmetical Boohs, and ^i. Libri's Histoire des Sciences Mathematiques en
Itodie. As it would require a volume to describe this immense scientific
and literary Cyclopaedia we must here content ourselves with pointing out
only a few tilings important for the history of the sciences. In the
Arithmetic, Valla speaking of the cypher says : " Quam voce barbara
tziphran vocant Indi (Indicse siquidem omnes figiu'ffi esse perhibentur)."
In the Mechanics the treatise de Spiritalibus Machinis is very curious. In
one of them steam is employed to get motion according to the following
rubric : " Lebete sub sestuante globulum ad corodacam moneri . . . fervente
lebete vaporem ... in spha?rum incidentem." The first initial letters of
the work is splendidly emblazoned in gold and colours, with the arms of
an ancient possessor, and the motto iay espoir in gothic letters.

copper, with descriptions, exliibiting a great variety of mechanical inven-
tions, amongst wliich are to be found life belts and suspension bridges
(see plates 34, 35, 36, 39, &c.). Verantius, -whose name is almost unknown
in the history of sciences, was from Sibenico. He was Hungarian Secre-
tary to the Emperor of Austria, as appears from the following work. (See

scientific and literary men, includmg Fracastoro, the sons of Dante, etc.
etc. Tlie Cronica of Zagata is written almost entirely in the Venetian

This copy belonged formerly to the Earl of Northumberland, usually called
" The Wizard," and has" his crest surrounded by the Garter, stamped
in gold on sides. The rarity of Vieta's works was caused by his having
printed only a few copies at his own expense for presents to such of his
contemporaries as took a delight in mathematics. This is the rarest of
all his publications, and a copy has been sold for six guineas (see Brunet),
The present magnificent copy, which is on LARGE paper, contains the
Canon Triangulorum, and the Liber Sinrjularis, and perfectly agrees with
the description given by Brunet. The only difference is that in the present
copy the back of the title is blank, instead of having the list of con-
tents as stated by Brunet, and that sheet *** m this copy is without any
signature.

French calf gilt, arms stamped in gold on sides 8vo. in one vol.
Best edition of thi.s ancient poet, who was bom at Paris in 1431. He was
a notorious thief, and narrowly escaped being hanged for his crunes,
Rabelais in his Pantagruel informs us that he was subsequently in England,
where he became a favourite of Edward V. His poems are valuable for
the insight they afford of the manners and customs of his time, several of
them being in the Jarcjon cV Argot or Thieves -Language.

Villon is the Rabelais of poets, and even his " Ballade pour prier Nostre-

are curious specimens of flash dialect.

engravings, rare, fine copy in half russia
folio. Co7no, Gotardo da Bonte, 1521
Amongst the woodcuts are exhibited some curious representations of Milan
Cathedral as a specimen of German (Gothic) Architecture, an ancient
sun-dial, antique baths, the sphere, motive powers (including a Ship moved
BY Paddles), instruments used in architectiu-e, &c. The Commentary is
valuable to the mathematician (see many curious remarks respecting arith-
metic), and also to the painter and sculptor, as it gives rules for colouring
and dii-ections for studying symmetry of proportion, with large woodcuts
of the human body, and specially mentions Michele Angelo and other
eminent artists. The first mention of the camera obscura, commonly
attributed to Porta, is also to be found herein. Cesariano specially men-
tions (on reverse of folio CLiv) "UMagnifico Domino Augustino Gallo
Novo Comense & Domino Aloysio Pirouano Mediolauense Arithmetico
excellentissimo," as the principal authors of the present impression, and
gives the names of the assistant translators also (see reverse of fol. lxxxxiii,
where Bono Maiu-o is declared to be " Correct ore di questa mia translata
Opera." For the history of art and literature this commentary is also
higlily important, as nearly every page lias allusions to and mention of
names pf men eminent in every brancli of science. On folio cxix is a
poera_(in Terzine) on Graphilogia. From tlie Coloplion we learn that
Cesariano left Conio before the work was completed, no doubt disgusted
78G THE MISCELLANEOUS PORTION OF
with his patrons and publishers, who had robbed him of his labour, and of
his subsequent career wo only know that ruined by this speculation he
died after suffering great misery. A very long and hiteresting account of
Cesariano (taken chiefly from facts mentioned in the notes to this version
of Vitruvius) will be found in the history of Gothic Architecture, by J. S.
Hawkins, who considered the engraving of Milan Cathedral so important
to the suliject of Gothic Architecture (it being the earliest known) that he
at one time determined to have it re-engi-aved in facsimile, and published
with a letter-press explanation. This project was abandoned when he
found that the engravuig was not a separate publication, but only a portion
of the translation of Vitruvius, and he contented himself with giving copies
on a reduced scale in his work on the History of Gothic Architecture.
Mr. Hawkms informs us that after all endeavours to procure a copy of the
Vitruvio, or even a sight of it in London, had failed, he determiued to visit
Oxford, but accidentally obtained a copy for himself just as he was pre-
paring to do so. Mr. Hawkins goes on to observe, " The volume is so
scarce that I at present know of no more than two copies, besides my own,
existing in this country, and one of these two is in the Bodleian Library."

him of his Professorship and sentenced him to banishment.

relating to Witchcraft, Demonology, &c. have principally recommended it
to amateurs of rare books, and this is probably the cause why the scientific
portions have remained without the notice they deserve.

7584 Zabarella) (J.) de Eebus Naturalibus, Libri XXX
vellum folio. Taruisii, 1604
For an account of this rare hoolc see Bayle's very curious article on Zabarella
in his Dictionary. The work " de Inventione a3terni Motoris " (pages
128-13G of this volume) was to sustain the impossibility of pro\-ing the
immortality of the soul from the principles of Aristotle, for it is only on
admitting the eternity of motion that we are able to conclude the existence
of a prime Mover, two propositions which caused him to be accused before
the Inquisition as an Atheist by his enemies, whom however he defeated by
declaring that as a Christian he admitted as truths what could not be
proved by philosophy. The inquiries of the author on the acceleration of
the movement of falling bodies contained in the liber jn-iimis of the present
work deserve attention.

obliged to do so. Amongst the plates of Natural History there are many
extraordinary ones, as an example of which we need only point out the
Monk-Fish, the Marine Abbot, the Tuscan Monster, &c. &c. This author's
remarks on Comets and their history, Eclipses, &c, are most valuable.

Operationi, numerous plates folio, ivi, 1627
7619 Zonca (V.) Novo Teatro di Machine et Edificii per varie operationi,
numerous fine plates, uncut folio, ivi, F. Pertelli, 1656
A very rare work on machinery, displaying the wonderful inventions of the
author, including those for various mills, copper-plate and printing presses,
a smoke-jack for roasting, &c. Amongst the rest is a spinning-jenny,
identical with the one patented upwards of a century later in England, the
honour of inventing which certainly belongs to the ingenious Italian, whose
countrymen seem to have given themselves little trouble to claim justice
to Zonca. Weiss, in the Biographic Universelle, mentions the editions of
1607 and 1621, and then i-emarks, " On cite encore des Editions de 1653
et de 1656 ; mais ce volume ne serait pas aussi rare s'il en existait tant de
reimpressions," evidently doubting the existence of this edition of 1656.
