Rare edition of a popular school textbook on dialectics (logic) by the important German humanist Johannes Caesarius (Jülich ca. 1468-Weidenbach near Cologne 1550). Here edited and enlarged with notes by his student Hermann Rayanus (Welsdalius) (fl. 1555-1577), also a celebrated German humanist teacher, and with the introduction to Aristotle's rules on rhetoric by Johannes Murmellius (1480-1517), famous Dutch humanist, poet and teacher, author of one of the most popular Latin primers, the Pappa puerorum. These additions appeared in Gabriel Cotier's 1556 Lyon edition, which others appear to have followed, including Leni's 1573 and present 1579 editions (both with the present device and factotum). We haven't seen the 1540 Paris edition by Colines, but we doubt Buisson's claim that it includes Rayanus's notes. It quickly joined the earlier and influenced the later standard textbooks on the subject by Rudolph Agricola (1515), Philip Melanchthon (1520) and Petrus Ramus (1543), each of the four approaching a hundred editions in the 16th century. Melanchthon praised Caesarius's highly in his 1533 Rhetorices elementa and urged all to read it (Bary, pp. 48 & 51, citing Mack for the numbers of editions ranging from 73 to 90, though the actual numbers must be somewhat higher). Caesarius himself revised his text many times up to his death in 1550, notably for the 1526 edition and Colines's Paris edition of 1537, and his students added to it after his death.Together with Murmellius and Hamelmann he established humanist curricula for both public and private education. Erasmus dedicated his translation of Gaza's Greek grammar to Caesarius. There are some letters to and from Erasmus preserved, but it is obvious that they continued to write to each other as good friends. With early manuscript notes in Latin on blank verso of title and last blank. Slight traces of use, some minor stains, vellum slightly wrinkled, but still in good condition.l Contemporaries of Erasmus I, pp. 238-239; Scardilli et al., Incunaboli e cinquecentine della Biblioteca comunale di Troina 50; USTC 817541; cf.

First edition (under this title, and collection of the texts), second as Lefèvre's Epitome (1503, Paris). In later cardboard. Title lettered in ink to the spine. Wide margin copy. Coll: A-D6 E-F4; ff. [32]. Extremely scarce Cologne edition of "Lefevre's Epitome" and other mathematical treatises, the first edition of this combination of the texts. Includes Bovelles' Epitome rerum geometricarum the earliest study on geometry by a French writer. An uncommon Cologne edition of this early collection of treatises on arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy intended for the use of university students. The book contains the French humanist and theologian Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples' (1455-1536) introduction to the works of Boethius and Jordanus, together with treatises by his disciples: Josse van Clichtove's (1472-1543) Ars suppuntandi; Johannes Caesarius' (1468-1550) a prologue on geometry; and Charles de Bovelles' (c. 1475-1566) Epitome rerum geometricarum which is regarded as the earliest study on geometry by a French writer. The book also includes excerpts from De musica by Augistine, and De quadratura circuli demostratio by Campanus (c. 1429-1477), as well as poems by Hermann von dem Busche (1468-1534) and Caesarius, who is also the author of the text of the dedication to Heinrich Einhorn (Monoceros). A somewhat different collection of texts was published in 1503 in Paris, (Epitome compendiosaque introductio in libros arithmeticos did Severini Boetii [.]; Wolfgang Hopyl and Henri Étienne), which is considered as the first edition of the present book. We firmly assume that this, the 1507 Cologne edition is the titular second edition, which - due to the lack of the colophon - in certain bibliographies and sources described and referred either as a Paris (Smith), or a Deventer edition (J. Oosterhoff, 2018). Despite extensive and thorough research, we could not find copies with either of those imprints thus we strongly believe that both are bibliographical ghosts.
