Title: Examen Vanitatis Doctrinae Gentivm
Author: PICO DELLA MIRANDOLA, Giovanni Francesco
Seller: Heritage Book Shop, LLC (United States)
Description: Mirandola: Giov. Mazzochi, 1520. First edition. Folio (11 15/16 x 8 5/16 inches; 303 x 211 mm). [6], 208 leaves. Full marbled calf. Boards tooled in gilt. With gilt central device with the coat of arms of Pope Pius VI. Spine with two morocco spine labels, lettered in gilt. Edges dyed blue. Floral endpapers. With a tiny hole repaired in the final leaf. Otherwise an exceptionally clean copy. Provenance: Giuseppe Martini, with his name and copious note in pencil on front free endpaper. Giuseppe Martini (1870-1944), is a famous bibliophile and the most important Italian antiquarian bookseller of his day. This title was one of only two books printed at Mirandola and is an attack upon the ancient philosophers, particularly Plato and Aristotle. It is also interesting for its references to America on leaves l, clxxxiii, clxxxvii (according to the Morgan Library). "Among the philosophers of the sixteenth century who deserve wider attention than they have hitherto received is Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola (1469- 1533). As nephew and near contemporary of the more famous member of the Pico family, Giovanni (1463-1494), he has often been obscured by his uncle's brilliance and originality in the eyes of later scholars. His own work as a philosopher, however, is not without interest, both for its content and for its historical importance."(Charles B. Schmitt). "Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola was the nephew of the great Florentine humanist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. He, like his uncle, became interested in the reform movement of Girolamo Savonarola (1452-1498) that was centered in the Convent of San Marco. The younger Pico della Mirandola moved into the convent and joined the group of scholars who took part in the daily discussions of philosophy and religion. His uncle moved into the convent in 1492 and placed his library there. Among the manuscripts brought to the convent by Pico della Mirandola and other scholars were five manuscript copies of Sextus Empiricus. Savonarola became interested in making these texts in Greek available to modern readers and asked two of his monks to begin preparing an edition of the writings of Sextus. This project never came to fruition, but some of it seems to be incorporated in the younger Pico della Mirandola's own publications.... In 1520 he published the first presentation of Greek skepticism in modern times, Examen vanitatis doctrinae gentium... (Examination of the vain doctrine of the gentiles and the true Christian teaching). The work was apparently written over at least fifteen to twenty years. Besides presenting arguments and analyses out of Sextus, it also contains a text by John Philoponus and Hasdai Crescas. It is curious that Pico della Mirandola includes the material from Crescas, which had not yet been published and only circulated in Hebrew manuscript. He may have gotten a text and its translation from Judah León Abrabanel (c. 1460-c. 1521), with whom he was in contact. Pico della Mirandola's skeptical work did not have wide circulation. It is cited by several people writing on philosophical topics, but it does not seem to have encouraged people to look further into skeptical thought. He was read by Gentian Hervetius (1499-1584), the translator of Sextus, and probably by Francisco Sanches, Pierre Gassendi, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The more serious impact of Sextus on modern thought had to await the presentation of his doctrines in Michel Eyquem de Montaigne's writings." (Encyclopedia dot com).

Description: 1596. Salamanca, 1596. 1st ed.. Salamanca, 1596. 1st ed. A Scarce Salamanca Printing on Monastic Discipline Under Clement VIII Sosa, Francisco de [fl. 1556]. Advertencias de Fray Francisco de Sosa, Lector de Theologia en el Convento de Sant Francisco de Salamanca: Cerca de la Nueva Constitucion de Nuestro Sanctissimo Padre Clemente Papa VIII. De Largitione Munerum Utriusque Sexus Regularibus Interdicta. Declaranse Algunas Resoluciones de Derecho en Punctos Difficultosos. Salamanca: En Casa de Iuan Fernandez, 1596. First edition. Quarto (8" x 6"; 20.3 x 15.2 cm). [x], 131, [2] pp. Contemporary limp vellum, covers ruled in black, early calligraphic title to spine; remnants of ties. Some soiling and small stains, spine darkened with minor chipping, vellum beginning to split at the pastedowns. Light to moderate toning with occasional faint dampstaining, but generally clean internally. A good copy in contemporary binding. $1,950. A scarce Salamanca printing discussing the papal constitution De largitione munerum utriusque sexus regularibus interdicta, issued under Pope Clement VIII (Ippolito Aldobrandini, 1536-1605). Sosa, a Franciscan theologian at Salamanca, examines the legal implications of the decree for religious houses, setting out a series of juridical "advertencias" and resolutions addressing difficult questions arising from the regulation of gifts and exchanges involving members of religious orders. The work reflects the broader programme of ecclesiastical discipline and increased papal oversight of monastic institutions characteristic of the post-Tridentine Church. Two later editions appeared in 1597 and 1696. Rare in North American collections. OCLC records examples of the later editions only, with none of the 1596 first edition located. No copies of any edition appear to be held by the Library of Congress, Harvard Law School, or UC Berkeley Law. Palau, Manual del Librero Hispano-Americano 319804.

Condition: Very Good
Description: Colombo (Ceylon, now Sri Lanka), 1903. Half Morocco. Very Good. 8vo. 18.5 by 14.5 cm. iv, 44 pp., the leaves made of heavy card stock. The author, a colonial officer for the British army, would later publish "The Annals of the King's Royal Rifle Corps," which contained his color illustrations of uniforms, arms and equipment, and other works. From this work, it is clear he had artistic aptitude, and as an officer in Ceylon, undoubtedly a lot of free time to indulge in the creation of this work. It would seem that this work was written with an eye on possible publication, but that did not come to be. Few will not be charmed by the many vignettes of badges and coats-of-arms, mostly rendered in bright watercolors, with some done as ink drawings. Also illustrated are flags and banners. Some of the tissue guards are heavily foxed, while the cards proper sometimes have offsetting from this soiling. A large chipped loss to the leather spine, with a partial loss of one letter of title. Still a very handsome album.

The question is whether the Estate of Edward Govan included certain slaves and, if so, their value. Many years after the transactions that were the subject of the suit had occurred, the Clarkes-- who evidently became obsessed with the perceived injustice to them-- claimed that William John Clarke, their ancestor, owned the slaves and had merely lent them to Govan, whose estate was liable to the Clarkes for the proceeds after the slaves were sold.
