With 33 in-text woodcut illustrations: 23 (4 of which are repeated) of ships, 3 of clothing (a female figure, a senator in a toga and a soldier), and 7 of vases.Second collected edition bearing the same dedication addressed by Lazare de Baïf to the King of France Francis I (Paris, 25 August 1536) and Charles Estienne's short preface as the first edition (Paris, Robert Estienne, 1536). Both editions include the De re navali, the De re vestiaria and the De vasculis by Baïf, as well as Antonio Telesio's treatise on colours, first published in Venice in 1528.Baïf scholarly reputation rests on these three Latin works: De re vestiaria (first edition: Basel, J. Bebel, 1526), dedicated to Jean de Lorraine, which contains his annotations to the law Vestis, ff. de auro et argento legato (Digest xxXIV il 23-5) and at the time of its publication earned him the second rank after Budé among the French scholars; De vasculis (first edition: Basel, H. Froben, 1531), dedicated to the chancellor Antoine du Bourg; and finally De re navali first appeared in Robert Estienne Paris edition of 1536. This latter edition, as well as the present Froben edition, is accompanied by illustrations derived from sketches of the pillar of Trajan and other monuments which had been obtained for Baïf by the French ambassador to Rome, François de Dinteville. After Froben reprint, another edition, expanded and revised by the author, was published posthumously by Robert Estienne (Paris, September 1549). Charles Estienne rearranged Baïf's work for the use of young students (various editions, 1535-37).Lazare de Baïf (Bayfius, Bayfus) was born around 1496 of a noble family of Anjou at the Château des Pins near La Fleche. After studying law, he went to Rome with Christophe de Longueil (c. 1516) and studied with Janus Lascaris and Marcus Musurus, no doubt at the recently established college on the Quirinal. After several years Baïf returned to France and taught law and letters at the University of Angers. In these years he laid the groundwork for his learned publications, investigating the practical side of ancient life on the basis of the Corpus juris, according to the method developed by Budé. In 1525 Baïf entered the service of Cardinal Jean de Lorraine. After taking part in the peasants war in Alsace, he followed the cardinal to Lyon. They were on their way to Spain, but the freeing of King Francis I made that further trip unnecessary. In 1527 he was named apostolic protonotary, a position which enabled him to receive two abbeys in commendam. In 1529 Francis I appointed him resident ambassador to Venice, and he left for his new post on 25 June. In Venice Baïf showed great zeal in producing scrupulous diplomatic dispatches. Baïf received Girolamo Aleandro, Giambattista Egnazio, and Lazzaro Bonamico, and appealed to Francis I in favour of Michelangelo. He also corresponded with Pietro Bembo, Jacopo Sadoleto, Germain de Brie, and Erasmus, and continued his philological and archeological research. He even began studying Hebrew, presumably with Elias Levita. From May 1530 Baïf employed as his secretary Pierre Bunel of Toulouse. In February 1532 his illegitimate son, Jean-Antoine, was born, a future poet of the Pléiade to whose education Baïf always paid careful attention, entrusting him to excellent tutors such as Charles Estienne and Jacques Toussain. At the beginning of 1534 Baïf was recalled from Venice at his own request. Returning to Paris, he set up house in the suburb of Saint-Marceau, keeping his son with him. On 17 November 1530 he had been appointed clerical councillor in the Parlement. In 1538 he was named master of requests in the royal household. In 1540 he was sent to the confere. Book.…

Importante raccolta degli scritti di Lazare de Baïf: edizione magnifica, riccamente illustrata con gli stessi legni della precedente, stampata sempre a Basilea e sempre da Froben, a sua volta modellata sulla prima di Parigi del 1536, Ex officina Rob. Stephani: 23 bellissime tavole corredano il «De re navali», ritraendo numerosi tipi di imbarcazione, tanto più affascinanti perché in parte ricalcate sui bassorilievi della colonna Traiana (fu l'ambasciatore francese a Roma a inviare le illustrazioni all'autore); 3 tavole accompagnano il testo del «De re vestiaria», 7 il «De vasculis». -- «Grande umanista, uno dei più alti rappresentanti in Francia dell'umanesimo italiano», Lazare de Baïf fu «dottissimo conoscitore del latino e del greco, che aveva imparato dal Musuro, amico e corrispondente del Bembo, del Sadoleto, dell'Aleandro, di Erasmo, del Budé, di Giovanni Lascaris e degli Estienne [.]. Nel giugno del 1529 Francesco I lo nominò ambasciatore a Venezia, dove, più che agli affari politici, attese a trovar materiali per la vasta opera De re navali» (Enciclopedia Treccani, s.v. Baïf, Lazare de). -- Poiché Lazare de Baïf, nel suo «De re vestiaria», si era a lungo soffermato sull'importanza dei colori nei vestiti, Robert Estienne, il curatore dell'edizione del 1536, decise di porre in fine al volume il fondamentale trattato di Antonio Telesio «De coloribus libellus», opera talmente importante da essere ripresa da Goethe, a distanza di secoli, nel suo celebre saggio «La teoria dei colori» («Zur Farbenlehre», 1810), e che straordinaria fortuna ebbe fin dalla sua uscita nel 1528 (Venezia, Bernardino Vitale). Mosso da preoccupazioni filologiche, Telesio esaminava l'impiego di dodici colori nella letteratura latina, così da garantire la migliore comprensione dei termini impiegati dagli scrittori e dai poeti. In aggiunta, offriva una sorta di dizionario dei colori, composto da 102 voci latine e greche, con relativa esplicazione (l'edizione del 1541, come dimostrato dalla collazione di più esemplari, tra cui quello digitalizzato nell'Opac Sbn - IT\ICCU\CFIE\031446 - omette i fogli con il dizionario dei colori al termine del fascicolo N). in 4°, legatura in piena pergamena coeva, pp. 323 [9] (con errori di numerazione); capilettera finemente incisi e numerose tavole nel testo, molte a piena pagina.

A charmingly-bound sammelband of four Latin works, in two first and two very scarce editions. Although the first three works may be considered 'the first children's books' or 'the first books produced specifically for the entertainment (unlike schoolbooks) as well as the edification of a juvenile readership' (Schreiber, 'Estiennes', 50, 1535 ed.), they were also read, as here, by adults wishing to know more. 'De re hortensi', on herbs for vegetable gardens, is concerned with the enclosure of suitable land, the types of herbs which grow spontaneously or need cultivating, ornamental ones used to embellish arbours, and the various garden areas subdivided by kinds of plants (e.g., 'coronalis', 'odorata' or 'olitoria'). It concludes with a Latin-French vocabulary. The second and third were written by the humanist Lazare de Baïf (1496-1547). 'De re vestiaria' is an entertaining work on countless types of clothing (both civil and military), head- and footwear, each with their Latin and French names and a brief historical context. For instance, 'crepida', slippers or sandals, are highlighted for the noise of the heels, like clogs, and are said to be called 'pianelle' by Venetian nobles. The subject of 'De vasculis' is unusualthe meaning and function of vases. It covers their history, materials (e.g., glass like 'the excellent, much celebrated from the city of Murano near Venice') and functions. The last work, on colours, was written by Antonio Telesio (1482-1534), first published in 1528. 'The most extensive lexicon of colour terms of its time, taken from Latin and Greek sources spanning some 1,100 years' (Osborne). It describes 12 basic colours, and for each the work provides a historical account and several related names, which were not always only used for colours (e.g., 'flammeus' was used to describe the sun). Claude le Roy was probably a young student, as he glossed several Greek words across the four works. Another early annotator, interested in alchemy, wrote a page of text on the scents of the planets, connected to their alchemical symbols (e.g., Venus has a 'rosy' scent). The C17 physician Joannes Guenebaldus was the author of 'Le Réveil de Chyndonax' (1621), describing a stone he found on his Dijon estate, which he thought of Druidic origin.

(Occasional light marking, some Il. with light, marginal ink-or damp-marking, short marginal tear on A1 and A2.) Second Estienne edition. The French humanist scholar and diplomat Lazare de Baif (1496-1547) was one of King François I's Conseillers du roi and an ambassador to Venice. Among his literary works, he translated four of Plutarch's Bior apádn/or into French and produced a French translation of Sophocles's Hhéktpa in alexandrines. His son, Jean Antoine de Baif (1532-1589) was taught Latin by Charles Estienne, and became a noted French poet, who was a friend of Pierre de Ronsard and member of the Pléiade. Lazare de Baif's interest in the classical era extended to its history and culture, and this collection of works, which was first published by Estienne in 1536, gathers three of these titles. The first is De re navali, which was first published in this collection in 1536, and is a study of naval architecture and navigation in the ancient world, and the other two - De re vestiaria and De vasculis - are treatises on ancient costume and vases respectively, which were edited by Charles Estienne from Baif's works on the two subjects published at Basel in 1526 and 1531 respectively, Charles Estienne's editions were intended for the use of both juvenile and adult audiences, and were first published separately in 1535, before they were collected under the present title. These three works on classical engineering, fabrication, and arts are supplemented by De coloribus libellus, by the Italian humanist scholar, philologist, and poet Antonio Telesio (1482-1534). Antonio Telesio was born in Cosenza, but left in c. 1517 for Milan, where he was responsible for the education of his nephew, the philosopher Bernardino Telesio. A few years later Antonio Telesio moved to Rome, which he fled in 1527 for Venice to escape the invading forces of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. At Venice in 1528 Telesio composed and published De coloribus libellus - a seminal monograph on colours, which examined the Latin terminology for colours. De coloribus libellus was repeatedly republished and translated throughout the following centuries; perhaps most notably, nearly three centuries after its first appearance, the Latin text was reprinted in its entirety in the second volume of J.W. von Goethe's Zur Farbenlehre (Tübingen, 1810). The volume is illustrated with numerous woodcuts, which were, according to Charles Estienne's preface, based upon ancient monuments (particularly those surviving in Rome). Bernard notes that four of the woodcuts were signed with Robert Estienne's device of the cross of Lorraine that on p. 22 of De re navali, which is repeated on p. 152, and those on pp. 3, 38, and 55 of De re vestiaria), but that all of the remaining woodcuts, although not signed, were from the studio of Geotroy Tory. Following the completion of the first edition of this collection in 31 August 1536, Baif sent a copy to his associate Erasmus, evidently unaware of the death of the great humanist on 12 July 1536; as van Gulik notes, the author 'must have sent a copy of his book to Basel immediately after its publication. The copy was conscientiously added to Erasmus' estate by his executor Bonifacius Amerbach' (E. van Gulik, Erasmus and his Books (Toronto, 2018), 'The Versandliste: An Annotated Catalogue' , no. 245). The work was then republished in this edition in 1549, two years after Baif's death. This copy is bound in limp vellum, which appears to predate its sale by auction by David Freebairn in Edinburgh in January 1701, when it was purchased by the Scottish book collector John Trotter of Mortenhall. The upper flyleaf bears his purchase inscription, which is typical of those found on other books from the Trotter family library purchased in his lifetime, such as the Clark Library's copy of Guy Miege's The English Grammar London, 1691), bought from George Mesman bookseller in Edinr. ye 20 Jan [16]95; King's College, London's copy of Dissertationum ludicrarum et amoenitatum scriptores varii (Leiden, 1638), 'Cost 10. d at Dr. Scattergoods auction London aug. 1697'; and the University of Pennsylvania's copy of Aristotelis liber, qui decimus Historiarum inscribitur (Paris, 1584), 'Bought at an auction [.] in Jan. 1712'. It also bears the bookplate of the Trotter family of Mortonhall, which Lee considers of 'unusual elegance' and posits was 'probably' used by Thomas Trotter (1762-1793), 7th of Mortonhall. This copy probably remained in the library of the Trotter family until 1947, when there were two sales of books from the Trotter library, the first held by Christie's (10 February 1947) and the second at Dowell's Auction Rooms, Edinburgh (30 September 1947). Presumably in the latter half of the twentieth century this copy was acquired by the noted naval officer and historian Ira Dye, who studied chemical engineering at the University of Washington and was commissioned into the US Navy following his graduation in 1940. Dye served as a submariner in the Pacific theatre during World War Il and commanded the submarine Seafox in the Korean War, before taking up the position of Commander, Submarine Division 52 and serving on the Joint Staff of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon. He subsequently moved to the Maritime Administration a.…

4 works in 1 volume. Early edition of one of the first children's books ever published, together with the second and third part of the series. Charles Estienne (1504-1564) served as private tutor to Jan Antoine de Baïf, son of the humanist and diplomat Lazare de Baïf (ca. 1496-1547). He planned a series of books that were to be instructive, but also specially written to entertain children and give them pleasure in learning. This was a radical Renaissance notion at a time when most school books merely contained standard texts, often from classical antiquity, that children were to memorise and recite. The first two parts of the series were abridged adaptations for children, with French glossaries, of the popular works on classical antiquity by De Baïf, respectively on Roman dress and Roman vessels. The third part of the series was from Estienne's own hand. It gives the names and descriptions of plants and trees, with French translations of all botanical terms. First published at Paris by Robert Estienne in 1535, all three children's books were first published at Lyon by the scholarly publisher Sebastian Gryphius in 1536. The present copies are the second Lyon editions.The final work is first edition of a scholarly text book on weights and measures, including weights of money, based on information drawn from written sources throughout history. It was compiled by Robert Ceneau (1583-1560), who was the bishop of Vence, Riets, and Avranches respectively.With ink annotations on the front end papers. The vellum is somewhat soiled.

Early edition of one of the very first children's books ever printed. The work contains a description of textiles and ancient Roman dress, and was specifically meant for the entertainment and edification of children. Although the title page states that it is the second edition, it is actually the third printed by Estienne. It is nearly identical to the second, but uses small caps for the first word of every chapter to make the structure of the text clearer.The work is the first part of a series on Roman antiquities written by Lazare de Baïf (1496-1547) in the late 1520s. It discusses ancient Roman hats and shoes, carpets and rugs, and the colours of wool and other textiles, with French translations of many of the terms. De Baïf's work was edited and abridged by Charles Estienne (1505-1564), scholar, physician and younger brother of printer Robert Estienne (1503-1559). It was a huge success, with more than a dozen editions recorded for the first ten years, and was followed up by the Estiennes with several other similar children's books.De Baïf was a humanist, poet and wealthy diplomat. He was the French ambassador in Venice and Germany. He hired Charles Estienne as a Latin tutor for his son, Jean-Antoine de Baïf (1532-1589), who later became a poet. Estienne initially abridged De Baïf's works to provide simplified Latin readings for his student, but soon published it for the enjoyment of other children as well. He was an elegant writer of Latin verse, and is commended by poet Joachim du Bellay as having introduced a few valuable words into the French language.A water stain in the lower outer corner of the leaves, and a small hole in the lower margin of page [6-8].

Second instalment of the first children's books series ever printed. The work contains a description of ancient Roman vessels, and was specifically printed for the entertainment and edification of children. This second edition by Estienne is very rare. It was not known to some of the early bibliographers and has not been on the market since 1947.The work is part of a series on Roman antiquities written by Lazare de Baïf (1496-1547) around 1530. The present work is the second title in the three-part series. It discusses ancient Roman vessels, containers, dishes, vases and receptacles, complete with an index in alphabetical order at the end. De Baïf's work was edited and abridged by Charles Estienne (1505-1564), scholar, physician and younger brother of printer Robert Estienne (1503-1559). His work met great success and many editions of the different parts of the series were printed in the 1530s and 40s.De Baïf was a humanist, poet and wealthy diplomat. He was the French ambassador in Venice and Germany. He hired Charles Estienne as a Latin tutor for his son, Jean-Antoine de Baïf (1532-1589), who later became a poet.

163 x 108 mm. (6 1/2 x 4 1/4"). 68 pp., [5] leaves.Edited by Charles Estienne. Old (17th century?) stiff vellum, flat spine title in ink. Front pastedown with book plate of the Macclesfield South Library, first two leaves with very small Macclesfield embossed stamp. Colas USTC 204573. See Renouard, "Estienne," p. 42, #16. Vellum on rear cover roughened, small water spot to front cover, but the binding entirely sound, and quite fresh and clean internally. Abridged and edited for schoolchildren by the scholar, physician, and printer Charles Estienne, this is a treatise on the customary dress and fashions in ancient Rome. It is among the best-known works of the distinguished humanist and diplomat Lazare de Baïf (1485-1547), who also produced respected translations of the Greek dramatists and published treatises on other aspects of ancient life, including vases and ships. Charles Estienne (1504 or 1505-64) for a time served as tutor to Baïf's son Jean Antoine, who became a famous poet. Charles' brother Robert also published this title in 1535, but Renouard believes Girault's printing might have come first. (Colas gives priority to the Estienne press.) Because Girault's printing contains additions and corrections that don't appear in Robert's edition, it seems more likely that this was the later printing, if only by a matter of weeks. The Girault edition is uncommon in the marketplace. The provenance is significant here, as our volume was part of the great library of the earls of Macclesfield, which was sold in 12 sales at Sotheby's (from 16 March, 2004, to 2 October, 2008) for some £22 million (approximately $40 million at the time). The library was dispersed when the 9th Earl Macclesfield, Richard Timothy George Mansfield Parker (b. 1943), who was described by the "Independent" as leading an "unconventional lifestyle," was forced to leave his 14th century Shirburn Castle after a protracted family dispute. Called by the paper "a sleeping beauty," his crenellated home had a moat, a drawbridge and, at the time of the Earl's departure, a repair bill of approximately £2.6 million. Despite the building's dilapidation, the books in the very large library were distinguished for being uniformly well preserved, were almost always in their original bindings, and were a sensation at auction for more than four years. …

C'est au retour de son ambassade à Venise qu'il composa en latin son traité sur l'architecture navale et la navigation des anciens ; on reprocha à Etienne Dolet de s'en être inspiré pour son De re navali publié à la même époque. En 1540, Lazare de Baïf, chargé par François Ier d'une mission en Allemagne, partit accompagné de Charles Estienne avec lequel il partageait une goût assez vif pour l'Antiquité et un secrétaire âgé de seize ans, Pierre Ronsard.

Prnter's device on title-page and verso of final leaf; profusely illustrated with woodcuts, many full-page. 1 vols. Small 4to. Lazare de Baïf (1496-1547) was a French humanist, classical scholar, translator of Sophocles' Electra, and ambassador to Venice, who flourished in the enlightened reign of François I, to whom his delightfully illustrated book on captivities and the naval science of the ancients is dedicated; the book is edited by Charles Estienne. His close connection to the classical humanists in François I's circle has led some to speculate that the fine woocuts herein came from the worshop of Geoffroy Tory. In addition, two other works are included: one, also by Baïf, on costumes and urns; and one, by Antonio Telesion, "De coloribus" Adams B36 Modern half calf and marbled boards, red morocco spine label.
