4to (140 x 196 mm). (6), 70 ff. With 35 woodcut diagrams in the text. Modern half vellum over marbled boards. First edition, rare (the earlier editions cited by Houzeau/L. are ghosts). Albert Pighius was born at Kampen in Holland ca. 1490 and died at Utrecht in 1542. Primarily a mathematician, he spent much time at the University of Paris, where this book was written. In this treatise, one of his polemical attacks against those who put the sciences of astronomy and astrology to base uses and employ them merely for the making of idle prognostications and popular almanacks, he praises Peurbach and Regiomontanus as true scientists, denouncing as a fraud the "Nova Astronomia" of Marcus Beneventanus. - Light waterstain to top edge of title-page; upper edge trimmed fairly closely throughout. A few ink annotations in a roughly contemporary hand. An excellent copy. - Adams P 1179. Houzeau/Lancaster 2373f. Lalande 43. Renouard (Colines), p. 40f. Renouard, ICP, III, 386. Poggendorff II, 450.

Rare early edition of one of the most substantial works by the Dutch Catholic humanist and controversialist Albertus Pighius (ca. 1490-1542), a native of Kampen, The Netherlands, and one of the most learned defenders of Roman orthodoxy in the first generation of the Reformation. The work discusses in detail the theological disputes addressed at the Colloquy of Regensburg (1541), which convened in a final attempt to reconcile Catholic and Protestant theologians within the Holy Roman Empire.Originally published in separate parts printed at Ingolstadt and Venice, the text was subsequently enlarged and republished in more complete form, as in the present edition. It appeared during the final year of Pighius's life, shortly before his death in Utrecht in December 1542. His arguments provoked vigorous responses from leading Protestant reformers, including Johannes Calvijn (1509-1564), who later wrote extensively against Pighius's defence of free will.The present work was produced by the Renaissance printer Jacques Gazeau, active on the Rue Saint-Jean-de-Latran and associated with the scholarly milieu of the Collège Royal. Gazeau's press published a relatively small but significant body of humanist and theological works during the 1540s.The upper corners of the boards are bumped, the boards are somewhat rubbed, with some loss of material. The title page is slightly soiled. Otherwise in very good condition.l Bietenholz, Contemporaries of Erasmus III, pp. 84-85; EEB (Proquest) fra-bnf-phs-00001806-001; USTC 140361 (7 copies); WorldCat 715630857 (2 copies); not in Adams; BM STC French; NUC. 19th century gold-tooled half calf, with a red morocco author and title label on the spine lettered in gold, marbled paper sides, red edges.
