The original text in Portugese was never published but a translation made in Rome by Maffei was first published in Dillingen (in 1571, one year before this Parisian edition). Our edition also contains the dedication to Cardinal Otto Truchsess von Walburg, former Prince-Bishop of Augsburg, who resided since 1568 in Rome and who was also the founder of the university of Dillingen. He confined this institute to the Jesuit Order in 1563 . See De Backer-Sommervogel vol. II col. 1505. Cordier 59. Lust 804 (for the 1574 Cologne edition). price: €8500.00 |

He is the first to have set out the governing principles of architecture, painting and sculpture within an overall worldview. He was a major contributor to Italian humanism.

The main imprin:; the Latin Bible in-8° from 1569 was published by Plantin from a version as revised by Joannes Hentenius and authorized by the Theological Faculty of Louvain University. In 1547 this version appeared for the first time, printed in Louvain, by Bartholomeus Gravius. The index (2) compiled by the Dutch Jesuit Jan Willems van Haarlem (1538-1578) - and nearly exclusively restricted to ideas in the Bible - was printed in the same year as the Bible. Prof. Voet states that it normally accompanies this Bible but does not exclude that a number of copies were published separately. The third imprint (3) was also printed in 1569 by Plantin and is a calendar of the saints and religious feast days of the Roman Catholic Church, with some bibliographical notes. Nothing is known about the author. These last two imprints are rare and not listed by Ruelens De Backer. Prof. Voet only lists the copies in the Museum Plantin-Moretus. price: €1150.00 |

The Berghman catalogue (note to no. 2002) estimates that only 4 or 5 copies are known. There exists however an early 19th century numbered reprint (100 copies by F. Didot in Paris). Our copy bears however no trace of being a reprint, nor has it a number. It looks as if it has been used as a proof copy and bears the manuscript ink marks of a professional corrector: e.g. pp A3 Bassecourt, Sermons de Pieté =/Piété ; Baxter..pecheurs =/pécheurs ; pp A4 Calvifii =/Calvisii...

It is a collection of engraved plates illustrating the art collection of the Giustiniani family kept in their still extant palace in Rome. They amassed over 600 Roman & Greek statues, bas reliefs etc. It was the foremost collection in early baroque Europe and it was Vincenzo's idea to illustrate this collection with this ''catalogue'' - the first illustrated art collection catalogue ever . The German artist Sandrart was commissioned to supervise the undertaking for which he engaged the foremost artists of his time, many of them non-Italian (see those mentioned in the title). When in 1983 a large part of the original plates were rediscovered in Genoa it was decided to place them in a purposely founded institute in Rome . This gave an enormous impulse to the study of t his collection whose remains were dispersed in the 18th and 19th century and found a place in all the main art collections of the world. price: €22500.00 |

Titlepage with a repaired tear (leaf completely doubled), all other plates mounted on guards. Lower margin of the portraits with a waterstain. Nothwithstanding these defects still a complete, rare and interesting iconography of Dutch artists. Second edition (first 1610 with the title Pictorum aliquot celebrium praecipuae germaniae inferioris effigies). The collection is divided in three parts. The first part consists of a series of portraits in reverse of Lampsonius' series - published by Hieronymous Cock. The other parts were engraved by Simon Frisius , Andries Stock and Robert de Baudous. Of the portrait of Joost de Momper we know that it served as a source for Van Dyck's iconography. The portrait of Jacobus De Geyn shows the painter's studio in the background with a nude model posing (Hondius exc. 1610). This must be one of the earliest illustrations of painting after live models in Western art.

His sympathy for the Reformation earned him the nickname '' de Luyterse Paap '' ( the Lutheran Papist). This is the rare first edition of his study on the history of the diocese of Utrecht and how it was incorporated by Charles V of Habsburg, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, into the Netherlands. A second edition in Latin was published nearly one hundred years later (in 1643 ). The first , apparently very poor translation into Dutch , was made by A.

The book was published with an engraved titlepage (Galle). Our copy has instead an original contemporary wash-drawing which is exactly similar to the engraving. Even the engraved textlines have been perfectly rendered. The drawing is of such an astonishing quality that one is tempted to link this design somehow with the creation of this titlepage. (The drawing has some thumbmarks in the lower righthand corner which led to a part of the drawing being partly erased, roughly a triangle of 5 x 5 cm).

With a signed manuscript note stating that this imprint was collated against the original on November 13, 1680 by (Sigliaveli ?). Extremely rare official papal printed order to put a publication on the Index of forbidden books. The work was a publication by Amadeo Guimenio : '' Adversus quorumdam expostulationes contra nonnullas Jesuitarum opiniones morales''. Amadeo Guimenio (real name Mateo de Moya) (Toledo 1626 - Madrid 1684) was a jesuit theologian. In his publication he maintained that many of the controversial religious ideas advocated by the Jesuits could in fact be traced back to theologians who had lived long before the Jesuit order existed. Already in 1665 the Sorbonne had censored this book. A huge controversy continued until this document finally prohibited the text in 1680.

Bound in contemporary full calf, sprinkled edges, raised gilt back with a small coat of arms (crowned lion) and thrice repeated the initials IOIO (French 16th-17th century binding). Small paper restoration at upper margin of the title leaf (no loss of text) , some old waterstains at inner margin of index and appendix leaves, headcaps and upper joint expertly restored, still a good/fine copy. Matthias De Lobel (Rijsel - Lille 1538 - Highgate-London 1616) studied medecine and botany at Montpellier university with Rondelet. There he befriended Petrus Pena. In 1569 he was in England, where he published the first edition of ''Nova Stirpium Adversaria'' in 1571. It was printed by Thomas Purfoot and Christopher Plantin bought 800 copies (received 556) from him for the sum of 1200 Florins. This explains the place and year of the dedicatio : ''London 1570''. Plantin rearranged the Purfoot edition somewhat and added an appendix (presented as a continuation of the English edition), an index and the Formulæae Rondelletti. The work is complete as such although sometimes it is offered together with Lobelius' ''Plantarvm seu Stirpium Historia'', compiled and published 5 years later (1576). In his exhaustive study on De Lobel and the complicated publication history of his Stirpium (see A. Louis: Mathieu de Lobel, épisode de l'histoire botanique) Louis clearly demonstrates that the editions of 1571 (editio princeps), 1576 (Plantin edition, our copy) and a 1605 edition are all the same and derive from the copies printed in 1571 in London by Purfoot (see pp.215). price: €4800.00 |

Rare and only edition of this work with fine emblems (illustrating the Dutch countryside and interiors as well as allegorical situations), and in the introduction a linguistic offering, a chronogram and a poem. The author was a Polish carmelite. The engravings are designed by Jan Thomas (1617-1678), born Ieper, perhaps pupil of Rubens, became court painter at Mainz and Vienna and engraved by Arnold Loemans. Loemans became a master in Antwerp in 1632-33 (See B. Linnig: La Gravure en Belgique pp 125). Praz pp. 495. Cicognara, 1919. Note: We assume that the book is complete, unless it should contain a frontispiece engraving, which is lacking . We could not compare with another copy. The printer made some mistakes in the designation of the preliminaries. There are 8 preliminary leaves, which is obvious for an in-4°. They are designated as follows: (title) + (a3) + (a4) + (a5) ; (permissio) + (blank) + (text) + (text). So only three leaves have a designation and the sixth leaf was left completely blank. In the proper text at the first quire he makes another mistake. Designation is : A + A2 + A2 + ( ). The second A2 has been corrected in ink in a contemporary hand in A3. price: €1800.00 |

The Missal, containing the liturgy or office of the mass in the Roman Catholic Church is one of the most important liturgical books. Because of the frequent liturgical changes and the daily use of the missal, particularly the canon, old copies in good shape are very rare. Most copies were either completely worn or discarded as being obsolete. This edition, for the diocese of Tournai (which comprised the County of Flanders), is the second printing. Of the printer Christoffel of Ruremond it is known that he died in Westminster prison in 1531. He was arrested in England because he sold the New Testament in english, translated by Tyndale to a bookbinder called John Row (see Y. Foxe, Ecclesiasticall History...London 1576); see also Anne Rouzet, Dictionnaire pp.193-194. price: €18500.00 |
