The rare English language translation of a work mentioning the 1531 appearance of Halley's comet, by the German theologian and Bishop of Vienna Friedrich Nausea (1496-1552) and originally titled Super huis anni post Christus natum M. D. XXXI & quo libet alio cometa exploratio. Only two other copies appear in auction records, sold in 1932 and 1975, and around seventeen are listed in the English Short Title Catalogue (with the imprint in two different states). The majority of the text is an analysis of comets as portents, including a list of occurrences from the death of Julius Caesar forward. Halley's comet of 1531 is mentioned in the penultimate chapter: 'A questions is asked, what that Blazing starre which was sene in the year 1531 might signifie and to whom it is a foretoken of some evil to ensue. In answering whereunto, I would to God I might not tell the truth so directly. The Blazing starre which appeared, 1531, betokens a heavie burthen of vengeance, not only to the state temporall, but also ecclesiasticall: yea it threatens a plague to the whole world.' The translator of this work, Abraham Fleming (1552-1607) was a clergyman, author, and literary editor who was associated with at least fifteen printing houses and fifty-seven different works, most notably the second edition of Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).

In den WarenkorbPublished in the year of Erasmus' death, this Paris edition contains a fine and heartfelt obituary written by his friend and admirer Friedrich Nausea (1496-1552), Bishop of Vienna. Nausea was a leading figure in the irenic movement at the imperial court, seeking reconciliation and reform within the Church rather than division.Nausea vents both his grief and his admiration, attributing a divine mission and even Christ-like qualities to Erasmus. This eulogy reflects the profound esteem in which Erasmus was held by his circle of humanist contemporaries. Though Nausea insists that no man should be called beatus (blessed) in his lifetime, he suggests that after Erasmus' passing, the Pope and the cardinals alike ought to have proclaimed him a saint, a model of poverty, chastity, and temperance.Appended to the obituary is the celebrated biography of Erasmus by Beatus Rhenanus (1485-1547), written in the form of a letter (Epistola ad Archiepiscopum Coloniensem). Rhenanus was a German humanist scholar and one of Erasmus' most trusted friends. He had lived and worked with Erasmus in Basel and was responsible for editing several of his works, including the Epistolae. This letter remains one of the most intimate and authoritative contemporary accounts of Erasmus life.With some underlining in the text, and an old annotation, by a reader reflecting on themes of birth, virtue, and ancestry, on the verso of the otherwise blank leaf C7, the bottom half of the leaf is lacking. The binding shows slight signs of wear along the extremities, slightly browned throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Inventaire chronologique des editions Parisiennes du XVIe siecle V, 255; USTC 185743 (lost book); Worldcat 248142207 (5 or 6 copies); not in De Reuck; Vander Haeghen; cf.
