Title: Ludovico Magno theses ex Universa Philosophia.
Author: LA TOUR D'AUVERGNE, Louis Charles, Prince de Turen
Seller: Ursus Books (United States)
Description: 1679. MENESTRIER, Claude-François. -- LA TOUR D'AUVERGNE, Louis Charles de, Prince de Turenne. Ludovico Magno theses ex universa philosophia dicat et consecrat Ludovicus a Turre-Arverniæ princeps Turennius. [16] pp., (page [4] blank). Engraved throughout: calligraphic title and text engraved by Louis Michault within elaborate emblematic and historiated borders engraved by Louis Cossin (i.e., Coquin) after Pierre-Paul Sevin. [Clermont Ferrand?], 1679. BOUND WITH: MENESTRIER, Claude-François and René d'ORIVAL. "A son Altesse Serenissime Monseigneur Louis-Auguste Prince Souverain de Dombes, sur son Imprimerie de Trévoux…" 4 ff., folio (405 x 267 mm.), deckle edges. [N.p., ca. 1701-1704]. Folio, 447 x 300 mm, bound in early 18th-century French red morocco gilt, sides paneled à la Du Seuil with inner and outer triple fillets, arabesque lozenge tools at corners of inner panel, spine intricately gold-tooled in compartments, title gilt-lettered in second compartment, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. A splendid association copy of the First Edition of this magnificently-illustrated thesis in philosophy, printed in only a very few copies for private circulation. The large, full-page engraved plates are impressive: full of allegorical, mythological, emblematic and symbolic imagery. They were designed by the Jesuit monk and antiquarian Claude-François Menestrier. Dedicated to Louis XIV, the edition is imaginatively illustrated, with an engraved title lettered on a banner set before a background of drapery, emblems of the arts and sciences at foot, and at top a pair of allegorical figures holding the Prince's arms; a medallion portrait of the King within an allegorical composition of putti and mythological figures; and 12 pages of engraved text, each within a different elaborate and carefully conceived allegorical page border, containing mythological and allegorical figures ("énigmes") and four emblems or emblematic scenes within cartouches. 28 of the emblems were devised by the Jesuit antiquarian and homme de lettres Claude-François Menestrier, whose manifold interests included heraldry and emblem theory. At the top of each engraving is a detailed scene representing one of the military exploits of the last two campaigns of Louis XIV, most with Latin inscriptions, several also conceived by Menestrier, and the others by le père La Rue, who wrote the dedicatory epistle. The title is signed by Louis Cossin (né Coquin), after Pierre-Paul Sevin; the remaining engravings are incorrectly attributed by Guilmard and the authors of Inventaire du fonds français to Cossin, who simply reproduced in engraving the original compositions of Sevin, a Lyonese painter known for his renderings of historical scenes, portraits and emblematic suites. Bound at the end is an undated pamphlet containing laudatory verses by Menestrier and René d'Orival in French and Latin. The first long poem, in French alexandrines, is dedicated to Louis-Auguste de Bourbon, Prince de Dombes (and Duc de Maine) and praises the royal press of Trévoux, founded in 1603 but only achieved prominence under Louis-Auguste's patronage. Also mentioned is the new Catholic French-Latin Dictionnaire universel français et latin, later known as the Dictionnaire de Trévoux, which the press published in 1704. The Dictionnaire is also the subject of one of the shorter Latin poems by Menestrier; according to Allut this appeared in the prefatory material of the Dictionnaire itself. The pamphlet may therefore date to 1704, or it may have been printed before publication of the completed dictionary; in his bibliography Allut places it amongst imprints from 1701. Some minor marginal discoloration, else an impeccable and beautifully bound copy of an extremely rare masterpiece of seventeenth-century French book illustration. A single copy is recorded in an American library (Getty Research Institute). Few survive, and fewer still in the splendid condition of the present copy. PROVENANCE: de Bardonelle, contemporary signature at foot of title; Paul Allut, inscription on front flyleaf (sale 10 Feb. 1868); Joseph Renard, bookplate (sale, 21 March 1881, OR 12 May 1884). This copy is especially distinguished in that BOTH the principal bibliographers and biographers of Menestrier, Paul Allut, author of the Recherches sur la vie et sur les œuvres du P. Claude François Menestrier (Lyon, 1856), and Joseph Renard, whose Catalogue des oeuvres imprimées de Claude-François Menestrier was posthumously edited by Carlos Sommervogel and appeared at Lyon in 1883 were owners.

Title: THE LITTLE PASSION. With Poems of the First Edition of 1511 by Benedictus Chelidonius Musophilus in Latin with English Version
Author: DÜRER ALBRECHT
Seller: The Book Block (United States)
Description: Verone Officina Bodoni, 1971. 8vo., (9 x 6 1/4 inches), publisher's quarter pigskin spine over Fabriano paper sides; title in gilt on the spine and the emblem of the press in gilt on the cover. In a matching sliding case, which is slightly rubbed at the extremities. Copy No. 17 (of 140). Original Prospectus laid in.Dürer's Small Passion of 1511, considered by many to be his masterpiece of this genre, was published by Giovanni Mardersteig to celebrate the five hundredth anniversary of the artists birth. The woodcuts are here re-engraved by Leonardo Farina, master wood engraver. This Officina Bodoni publication follows the first edition of 1511, reprinting the original Latin verses by Fr. Benedictus Chelidonius (Benedikt Schwalbe), humanist and poet. Mardersteig simultaneously published editions in Italian and German, but here the reader is offered a literal translation IN ENGLISH by Robert Fitzgerald, himself a poet, so that one might have some idea of the poetic content of the Latin originals.The period 1508-1511 marks the height of Dürer's graphic work on religious subjects. In this edition, as in the original, the woodcuts face the Latin poems, which are thought to have been commissioned by the artist as a complement to them. A very handsome edition of Dürers Passion.Mardersteig 173 and 171 (Italian edition). Barr 86. THE SMALL PASSION NEWLY CUT ON WOOD

Ownership blind-stamps (including title). Very scarce. First edition. Half-title: Sermons containing answers to some popular objections against the necessity or the credibility of the Christian Revelation. / These essays were offered as the Bampton Lectures, which started in 1780, focusing on Christianity. The lecture series continues to this day. / The third sermon, touching on mankind, nations, origin of language, universal belief in miracles and prophecy, "all nations have a religion", "universality of sacrifice", "Theology of Greece and Rome - of Plato - of Egypt (etc.), offers the author's views on the plight of the Jews: "To the history and fortunes of the Jews, nothing parallel can be pointed out in the annals of mankind. Individuals of the nation are found in almost every inhabited portion of the globe; yet in none have they any permanent establishment. They are mixed with every civilized society; yet of none do they form any essential part. They are not admitted to a share in any public counsel; nor in the authority of any government." (p. 164). / Barrow mentions the Persians and Zoroaster who were "persecuted almost to extermination." (p. 370). He does not mention Islam. Relative to Egypt, the author calls this nation "where science first dawned upon mankind" (p. 158). At this time hieroglyphics had not yet been deciphered, though Barrow does acknowledge the glyphs of Mexico as well (p.159). CONTENTS: [1] On the Variety of Opinions and Tenets in Religion. [2] On the necessity of a divine revelation, for the instruction of mankind in religion and morality. [3] On the Probability that God has revealed his will to Mankind; that his Revelation is the Foundation of all Religion amongst them; and that the History, the Doctrines, and the Precepts of this Revelation are contained in the Old and New Testament. [4] The Doctrines and Precepts of the Christian Revelation favourable to the enjoyments of the present Life. [5] On the mysterious Doctrines of Christianity. [6] On the Want of Universality in the Promulgation and Reception of the Christian Revelation. [7] On Prayer. [8] The good Effects of Christianity on the Faith and Morals of its Professors. / William Barrow (1754-1836), studied at Queen's College, "archdeacon of Nottingham, . . . . [who] was much indebted to [William] Paley's [1743-1805] writings which he described as sermons for 'general perusal than lectures for a learned society". In them he popularizes the arguments for the necessity and probability of a divine revelation to man, shows that the doctrines and precepts of the Christian religion are favourable to the enjoyments of the present life ('not Christianity but intemperance being hostile to felicity"), and, with regard to prayer, deems it probable that 'the Almighty in consequence of our prayers interferes with the laws of nature." He further shows that the course of nature is regular, but our conduct irregular, and that 'reason is not degraded by revelation but assisted and exalted . . ."
