Condition: Fine
Description: Strasbourg: Wolfgang Kopfel, 1534. FOURTH AND MOST COMPLETE EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. This is "the first with the ‘Elenchus’ and the first with this title." (Fairfax Murray) Bound in fine contemporary calf, elaborately tooled in gold, edges gauffered and gilded. While the binder is unknown, similar bindings were made in Bologna, Rome, and Venice in the 1520s. Minor wear to the binding, with small losses to the leather, at the upper corners and a small patch along the upper hinge. Head and foot of spine carefully restored. A tall copy with intermittent light damp-stains and light finger-soiling. This volume is profusely illustrated with 268 woodcut images, most of which are by Hans Weiditz. "The medallions of the emperors [and their families] commence with Julius Caesar and end with Frederick III, Maximilian I and his son Philip the Fair, Charles V and Ferdinand I. Most are enclosed in ornamental borders with fauns, cupids, Adam and Eve, Godfrey of Bouillon, Hercules etc." (Fairfax Murray) There are also two divisional woodcut title pages and two leaves bearing large printer’s devices. This edition includes a supplemental section: "Elenchus Consulum Romanorum" a chronological list of the consuls printed between decorative woodcut borders. This section concludes with a series of woodcut medallions. The ornate divisional title border shows scenes from the Iliad including Achilles dragging Hector around the walls of Troy. "Besides the borders, there are 84 medallions, obverse and reverse, in the same style as the preceding, apparently by Weiditz." (Fairfax Murray) "A friend and correspondent of Erasmus (who dedicated his translation of Lucian's 'Convivium' to Huttich) and Ulrich von Hutten, Huttich studied at the University of Mainz when the city was a stronghold of the new antiquarian learning. While accompanying Frederick II on a diplomatic mission to Spain, Huttich collected pamphlets describing Spanish and Portuguese voyages to the Americas, later published as 'Novus Orbis' (1532). "Huttich's work falls into the category of Bildnisvitenbücher, collections of portraits of famous men and women, accompanied by biographical sketches… The second edition of Vasari's 'Lives of the Artists' (1568), in which each biography is accompanied by a woodcut portrait elaborately framed, was clearly influenced by this type of popular literature. The Renaissance cult of the hero, of 'virtus' and 'fama', helps explain the widespread appeal of these works, in which the humanists, as Rave points out, sought to combine the two devices employed by the ancients to immortalize their great men, the 'vita' and the 'effigies'. The growing sense of national identity during this period also played a part in the production of volumes devoted to kings, legendary heroes, and literary lights of France and Germany, a motivation that explains much of the content in the numismatic books of Huttich and Rouille."(Cunnally, "Images of the Illustrious") The first section covers the imperial families from Julius Caesar to Gallienus, the son of Valerian. This section is followed by "thirty tyrants", a group of third-century would-be usurpers and self-proclaimed Augusti and Caesares, and the emperors and Augusti from Aurelian to Theodosius II and Valentinian III. This section is followed by the emperors of the Eastern Empire based at Constantinople, beginning with Martian and concluding with Michael Cyropalates. The revival of the western imperial line begins with Charlemagne and concludes with the reigns of Charles V, Emperor of Germany and his brother Ferdinand I.

Description: London: Printed and sold by Andrew Sowle, in the Holloway-Lane, near Shoreditch, 1685. Octavo (14.5 x 9.5cm.), [12], 96, 91-232, [6] pages; collation: A6, B-Q8, R2 (I3 signed I2). Sheet A/R should have had R1 and R2 as A7 and A8. It was wrongly imposed so that A5r and A6v were perfected by pages of R and vice versa. The error was corrected by pasting leaves from half another copy of the sheet over the erroneous pages. Sheet I was similarly mis-imposed, but instead of using parts of a complete sheet, a half-forme was printed on one side only and pasted over I5v, 6r, 7v, 8r. Text and register are continuous despite pagination error. AAS records indicates their copy has pagination and collation the same as this one. ESTC cites this pagination and offers a variant (2d issue?) with pagination: [12], 97, 92-232, [6] pages (i.e. H1r is numbered 97 and H1v is numbered 92). Table of contents. Publisher’s advertisement [6 pages] at rear, for two other titles by Tryon. Caption title (page 1) Every good house-wife made a doctor, &c. Publication date from Notaker and Wing. ~ FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Thomas Tyron made himself a fortune in the self-help business. He was a self-made man with rural roots as a shepherd (he apparently sold two sheep to pay for his move to London), and spent time in London in a hat factory. A follower of the spiritual ideas of Jacob Boehme and a Pythagorean (vegetarian), he is credited with converting Benjamin Franklin to the diet. ~ Pages closely trimmed, occasionally affecting (but not eliminating) page numbers; signature numbering not affected. Small wormholes (outside top corner signature B, and bottom signature E). Some paper restoration to title page (not affecting text); hinge repair to final leaf. Rebound in quarter-calf with marbled boards. Spine gilt-titled. Early ownership signature, “E - Bradford”, to head of table of contents (page [9]); bookplate of the Craig Collection. Auction records for all of Tryon’s titles are few; the only copy of this title at auction was in a group lot at the Shircliffe (London, 1954). Rare. [OCLC locates nine copies (AAS, BNF, Folger, Simon Fraser, NYAM, Schlesinger, JHU, Science Hist. Inst., Lamar Univ.); ESTC locates twelve copies (eight in US and four in UK); Cagle 1028; Notaker 570; Oxford 41; Wing T3180; Early English Books, 1641-1700 2158:24].
