C18 or C19 shelfmark of York Cathedral Library to t-p and next, 'XV.O.39,' purchased 1930 by A.S.W. Rosenbach. Very rare second Wynkyn de Worde edition of this popular manual for priests by the fourteenth-century Spanish cleric and canonist Guido de Mont Rochen, first printed in England by Pynson around 1500, and by de Worde in an earlier edition of 1502. This copy has excellent provenance, being from the library of Estelle Doheny, originally purchased from the York Minster Library by private treaty in 1930 by A.S.W. Rosenbach, with evidence of early English ownership (see Leslie A. Morris, Rosenbach Abroad (Philadelphia: 1988), p. 59, no. 55). Monte Rochen's book went through hundreds of editions in the late medieval period and circulated widely in manuscript: 'It sold twice as many copies as Gratian's Decretum, three times more than Thomas Aquinas's Summa theologiae, and six times more than Boccaccio's Decameron or Augustine's City of God. Yet Guido de Monte Rochen and his manual for priests have long been overlooked by historians of the period' (Michael Milway, 'Forgotten Best-Sellers from the Dawn of the Reformation' in eds Bast, Gow and Oberman, Continuity and Change (Leiden: 2000), p. 117). It was finally superseded by the establishment of the Roman Catholic catechism in the Council of Trent in 1566. The manual is divided into three parts: the first covers the chief sacraments of baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, marriage, extreme unction, and the ordination of holy orders; the second covers penance and confession; the third contains crucial doctrines to be conveyed to the people: the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, etc. Monte Rochen is particularly concerned with when things go wrong, for example noting the penances associated with mistreatment of the Eucharist, such as spilling the chalice, or when someone vomits up the Host because they are ill or, worse, drunk. Another major concern is the baptism of a child who is in danger of immediate death, a crisis regularly encountered by midwives as well as priests. Monte Rochen notes that in such cases, not only women but also atheists, Jews, pagans and heretics can baptise a child. However, only pure water should be used: children should never be baptised in meat broth, he says, but baptism in a well is allowed in extreme circumstances. The early owner of this copy merely noted that children should not be baptized a second time, and that prayers should be said over them in church. Pre-Elizabethan English imprints, of all sorts, are now commercially rare. This ed. is very scarce: OCLC notes Princeton and Simon Fraser only in North America; of the 1502 de Worde edition, OCLC notes three copies in North America, at Simon Fraser, Illinois and the New York Society Library. Lowndes IV, 1590. Ames II, 149. ESTC S111296.

Composed in the 1330s by Guido de Monte Rochen (also Monte Rocherii or Roterio), the Manipulus curatorum met the growing need for pastoral guidance and the training of priests in the wake of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215). Aimed at simple curates and written in a suitably unadorned style, the work is in three parts: the first on six of the seven sacraments; the second on penance (the remaining sacrament and a matter of particular complexity for parish priests); and the third on catechesis. 'Although Guido's manual had much in common with contemporary pastoralia, it stood out from the pack by adapting and simplifying the genre's basic features to serve its audience more effectively. The Handbook is long enough to be comprehensive, but short enough to be truly useful' (Thayer and Lualdi, p.xxiv). 'More than 250 manuscript copies of the Handbook for Curates are still extant, but it truly came into its own with the advent of printing. Between circa 1468 and 1501, some 122 editions of the Handbook rolled off European presses both big and small, making it the eleventh most printed title in the period' (ibid., pp.xiiiiv). Only the Inquisition in the Catholic world and the Reformation in the Protestant put an end to its widespread use, as witnessed by the anti-papal deletions in our copy. The present edition was the third to be printed in England, preceded by two from the press of Richard Pynson (1498 and 1500). All English editions (of which there are seven, the last printed in 1517) are very rare, with copies often found imperfect. Of the present edition, only three other complete copies are recorded by ESTC (BL, Glasgow, Rylands). Two imperfect copies are at Stonyhurst and Illinois, and Bodley holds a made-up copy of the 1517 edition with two quires supplied from the 1502. They are also very scarce in commerce no complete copies of the present edition appear in auction records, and of the others we can trace only the York MinsterDoheny copy of the 1509 edition (last sold in 2024, $9500), the Stonyhurst copy of the 1500 edition (sold Sotheby's 2003, £6600), and another copy of the same (sold Sotheby's 1983, £1078) in the last century.

    Folio [29.4 x 19.6 cm], (8) ff. (the last blank), 130, (1) f. [colophon], 1 integral blank, with numerous woodcut diagrams and illustrations in text. Old ownership stamp "Darquier" neatly stenciled on title (the Toulousain astronomer Antoine Darquier de Pellepoix 1718-1802?) Bound in 18th century vellum over paste boards, covers a bit soiled and abraded. Inconsequential soiling and a little spotting to title; even toning to some quires, but generally a fresh and appealing copy. Rare first edition of the author's first work, generally regarded as the most important treatise on mechanics since Archimedes and a critical influence on Galileo. The work is notable for its commitment to establishing mechanics on a rigorously mathematical basis, for its powerful argument that mechanics and statics are separate sciences and for its insistence that mechanics should not consider abstract and/or abstruse entities but the activity of machines. Stillman Drake particularly emphasizes the importance of the section on pulleys, where Monte reduces them (as he does most other simple machines) to a lever. As such, the work has technological implications for navigation, manufacture, the plastic arts and medicine (f. 245)."From the time of its publication in 1577. [it was] the most authoritative treatise on statics to emerge since antiquity, and it remained pre-eminent until the appearance of Galileo's Two New Sciences in 1638. It marks the high point of the Archimedean revival of the Renaissance" (Rose, Italian Renaissance of Mathematics, p. 222).Monte (1545-1607) studied mathematics at Padua and subsequently at Urbino, where he studied with Commandino, editing and publishing the latter's translation of Pappus. He conducted an extensive scientific correspondence with Galileo, securing for the Florentine his chairs at Pisa and later at Padua.* Adams U-7; Riccardi II.178; P.L.

    First edition. THEORY OF THE PLANISPHERE - THE JONES-MACCLESFIELD COPY . First edition, very rare, the Jones-Macclesfield copy, signed by William Jones, of the first modern theoretical treatise on the planisphere, an instrument for representing the celestial sphere on a plane surface. Guidobaldo was one of the most prominent figures in the renaissance of the mathematical sciences, and is famous for his Mechanicorum liber (1577), generally regarded as the most important treatise on mechanics since Archimedes and a critical influence on his friend and disciple Galileo. "Two years after the publication of the Mechanicorum Liber, Guidobaldo released the Planisphaeriorum Universalium Theorica (1579), re-edited after another two years later at Cologne. The treatise attended to the mathematical branch in which Guidobaldo seems to have been most interested besides mechanics, namely to perspective . Guidobaldo's treatise of 1579 is subdivided in two books and is dedicated to the explication of various types of planispheres. Planispheres had the function to represent in the plane the celestial sphere with all his significant circles - a procedure that obviously posed problems relative to stereographic or orthogonal projection, according to the type of planisphere. Fundamental for their construction were the empirical guidelines given in Ptolemy's Planisphaerium. A different way of stereographic projection had been found by Gemma Frisius (1508-55), exposed in De astrolabio catholico (1556), by assuming the centre of projection on the equinoctial circle, while in Ptolemy it was fixed in one of the two poles. The advantage of this method consisted in the possibility to adapt the planisphere to an arbitrary latitude (for that reason it was called 'universal'), while Ptolemy's was valid only for a specific horizon.In the first book, Guidobaldo attends to comment on Gemma Frisius's planisphere furnishing geometrical demonstrations of what had remained unproven by the Dutch mathematician. Furthermore, he gave the necessary indications to construct the described device. In the second book, Guidobaldo approached the analysis of the planisphere of Juan De Rojas, considered the inventor of the universal astrolabe. As the projection exposed by the Spanish mathematician refers to a point of observation at infinite distance, his planisphere poses problems relative to orthographic projection. Guidobaldo addressed himself to the topic with the usual mathematical rigour, inter alia proving that the section of a cylinder and a plane (not parallel to the axis of the cylinder) is generally an ellipse - a fact unknown both to De Rojas and to Frisius. Here, again, he exposed a scientific instrument appropriate to draw ellipses, with a clear and detailed theoretical justification. This fact confirms Guidobaldo's interest in the practical aspects connected with mathematics, besides his unquestioned skill to present theorisations of mathematical fields" (Frank, pp. 40-41). ABPC/RBH lists only one other complete copy in a contemporary binding in the last 40 years. Provenance: William Jones (1675-1749) (signature on title), probably acquired by him from John Collins (1626-83); the Earls of Macclesfield (South Library bookplate on front paste-down, embossed stamp on first two leaves); sold Sotheby's, 13 April 2005, lot 1434, £3,360 ($6,372). As the Macclesfield catalogue notes (A-C, p. 12), "It is not unreasonable to suppose that anything published before 1683 [in the Macclesfield library] belonged to him [i.e., Collins]". It would seem very likely that Collins would have owned a copy of this book, given his own interest in mathematical instruments - he wrote The sector on a quadrant (1658); Geometrical dyalling (1659); and The mariner's plain scale (1659). Jones acquired Collins's books and papers some time before he edited Newton's Analysis per quantitatum series (1711). "Painters were well acquainted with the representation of a three-dimensional object by three two-dimension. Signed.
