1st Edition. First edition of this collection and under this title; Lefèvre's Epitome had first appeared in Paris in 1503. In later boards, title lettered in ink on spine. Coll: A-D6 E-F4; ff. [32]. Extremely scarce Cologne edition of Lefèvre's Epitome and other mathematical treatises, the first edition of this combination of texts. Includes Bovelles' Epitome rerum geometricarum, regarded as the earliest study on geometry by a French writer. The collection contains the French humanist and theologian Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples' (c. 1455-1536) introduction to the arithmetic of Boethius and Jordanus Nemorarius, together with mathematical texts by members of his circle. These include Josse van Clichtove's (1472-1543) Ars supputandi, a practical introduction to calculation with counters and written numerals; a geometrical prologue by Johannes Caesarius (1468-1550); and Charles de Bovelles' (c. 1475-1566) Epitome rerum geometricarum, which is regarded as the earliest study on geometry by a French writer. The volume also contains a discussion of numerical progression drawn from Augustine, the De quadratura circuli demonstratio attributed to Campanus, as well as poems by the German humanist Hermann von dem Busche (1468-1534) and Caesarius. Caesarius was also responsible for the dedication to Heinrich Einhorn (Monoceros). A differently constituted collection of texts was published in Paris in 1503 (Epitome compendiosaque introductio in libros arithmeticos divi Severini Boetii [.], Wolfgang Hopyl and Henri Estienne) and is generally regarded as the first edition of the present work. The 1507 Cologne publication, however, differs sufficiently in its contents and arrangement that it is better regarded as a distinct edition and collection rather than simply as a second edition of the 1503 book. The absence of a colophon has led to conflicting bibliographical attributions. The edition has also been described as Paris (Smith) and Deventer (Oosterhoff, 2018). Despite extensive research, we have been unable to locate copies bearing either a Paris or Deventer imprint, and believe that these attributions may represent bibliographical ghosts rather than separately printed editions.

Trois exceptionnels post-incunables in-12 (11 x 16,5 cm) reliés en un seul volume, à savoir:1) DIALECTICA IOHANNIS CAESARII [.], Parisiis: Ex officina Christiani Wecheli sub scuto Basiliensi, 1536. Ouvrage de 272 pp. (signatures: 1 f. de titre [a i], a ii-r iiii). La page de titre et le dernier feuillet sont ornés de l'une des vignettes gravées de Chrestien Wechel(1495-1554), imprimeur-libraire à Paris (vignette au pégase), dont les livres étaient réputés pour leur qualité. Ouvrage imprimé sur papier vergé filigrané.2) RHETORICA IOHANNIS CAESARII, Parisiis: Apud Christianum Wechelum, 1539. Ouvrage de 151-[1] pp. (signatures: 1 f. de titre [a i], a ii-k ii]. Il arbore également la vignette de l'imprimeur Chrestien Wechel en page de titre et sur le dernier feuillet. Ouvrage imprimé sur papier vergé filigrané.3) RHETORICES ELEMENTA de Philippe Mélanchthon, Lugduni [Lyon]: Apud Seb. Gryphium, 1541. 135-[1] pp. (signatures: 1 f. de titre [a1]-i3). L'ouvrage présente en page de titre et sur le dernier feuillet le griffon caractéristique de Sébastien Gryphe (1493-1556), imprimeur allemand installé à Lyon. Trois magnifiques post-incunables imprimés du vivant de leurs auteurs respectifs, reliés en pleine basane d'époque, dos à quatre nerfs, motif floral au fer doré sur les plats et le dos, inscriptions manuscrites anciennes sur le premier contre-plat, le dernier feuillet et la tranche, salissures éparses, travail de vers persistant dans la marge inférieure de la première partie du volume (ne gênant pas la lecture), sinon papier propre et bien lisible. La reliure est uniformément craquelée, comme on peut s'y attendre pour un livre du XVIe siècle, mais les coiffes ont été habilement restaurées au XXe. Les trois ouvrages sont bien complets de tous leurs feuillets. Magnifique ensemble en latin, emblématique de la Renaissance allemande. Johannes Caesarius (v. 1468-1550), était un médecin et humaniste allemand de la Renaissance. Précepteur du comte Hermann von Neuenahr, à Rome, il a obtenu son doctorat en médecine à Sienne, avant d'enseigner le latin et le grec dans différentes villes d'Allemagne. Esprit brillant, pétri de classicisme, il s'est notamment intéressé à la grammaire, à la dialectique et à la rhétorique, d'où les deux manuels en latin présentés ici, qui ont été amplement diffusés en Europe. Césarius a entretenu une correspondance suivie avec Érasme, Reuchlin, Spalatin, Bullinger, mais aussi avec Philippe Mélanchthon (1497-1560), réformateur allemand, disciple de Luther. Ce n'est sans doute pas un hasard si "Rhetorices Elementa", l'un des textes emblématiques de ce penseur humaniste, a été ajouté au présent volume, formant une exceptionnelle somme concernant la dialectique et la rhétorique. En raison de ses relations avec Melanchthon, Césarius a d'ailleurs été suspecté de luthéranisme et certains de ses ouvrages ont été interdits en Espagne et en Italie. "Dialectica" a été imprimé pour la première fois par Eucharius Cervicornus à Cologne en 1526, "Rhetorica" par Johann von Aich, toujours à Cologne en 1534. Enfin, l'ouvrage de Melanchthon, "Rhetorica Elementa" est paru initialement en 1519.Réf.: Renouard, 1965, p. 373; Silvestre, no 924; Melanchthon (Wels); Hirsch, I, pp. 237-239.…

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.

Frühe Ausgabe dieses seinerzeit verbreiteten Werkes. - Der Humanist Johannes Caesarius (um 1468-1550) studierte seit etwa 1491 in Köln und Paris und wurde in Köln zum Magister promoviert. Danach war er als Privatlehrer u.a. des Grafen Hermann von Neuenahr tätig und unternahm Reisen nach Rom und Bologna, wo er seine Studien des Griechischen fortsetzte. Er wirkte seit 1510 in Köln, seit 1513 in Münster als Griechischlehrer, wurde dann in Siena zum Dr. med. promoviert und praktizierte vorübergehend in Köln als Arzt. Später setzte er seine Lehrtätigkeit als Latinist und Gräzist in Mainz (1524, 1529), Leipzig (1527) und Moers (1546) fort und wurde durch seine Lehrbücher zur Grammatik und Rhetorik bekannt. Zu den Schülern von Caesarius, der u.a. mit Melanchthon einen ausgedehnten Briefwechsel pflegte, gehörten Petrus Mosellanus und Agrippa von Nettesheim. - Alter Besitzvermerk a. Titel.
