Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Bücher zählen bis heute zu den wichtigsten kulturellen Errungenschaften der Menschheit. Ihre Erfindung war mit der Einführung des Buchdrucks ähnlich bedeutsam, wie die des Internets: Erstmals wurde eine massenweise Weitergabe von Informationen möglich. Bildung, Wissenschaft, Forschung, aber auch die Unterhaltung wurde auf neuartige, technisch wie inhaltlich, revolutionäre Basis gestellt. Bücher verändern die Gesellschaft bis heute. Die technischen Möglichkeiten des Massen-Buchdrucks führten zu einem radikalen Zuwachs an Titeln im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert. Dennoch waren die Rahmenbedingungen immer noch ganz andere als heute: Wer damals ein Buch schrieb, verfasste oftmals ein Lebenswerk. Dies spiegelt sich in der hohen Qualität alter Bücher wider. Leider altern Bücher. Papier ist nicht für die Ewigkeit gemacht. Daher haben wir es uns zur Aufgabe gemacht, das Wissen der Menschheit zu konservieren und alte Bücher in möglichst hoher Qualität zu niedrigen Preisen verfügbar zu machen.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. First. THE FIRST "MODERN" EDITION OF PTOLEMY -- THE DUPONT COPY WITH EXTENSIVE MARGINALIA. Strassbourg: Johann Schott, 1513. First edition. Folio (18 1/2" x 12 1/2", 470mm x 317mm). With 47 woodcut maps by Martin Waldseemüller (all but 2 double-page), the last ("Lotharingia") printed in three colors. Bound in contemporary blind-stamped paneled calf over wooden boards, each cover decorated with alternating rolls of a stag and hunter, and a thistle and bird roll tool, fore-edge lettered in Greek: "??????????" original vellum page-markers; brass catches and clasps and cornerpieces renewed to style by Brockman (report available). Presented in a brown cloth clam-shell box. Recently conserved by Brockman (report available). Lower portion of the title-page renewed with 12 lines of text on verso supplied in manuscript facsimile, lower portion of last leaf renewed, without the final blank leaf, some browning and staining, a few leaves repaired affecting the image in 3 maps: Italy, Switzerland and the Upper Rhineland. With ink marginalia in Greek and Latin. Claudius Ptolemaeus was a second-century philosopher living in Roman Alexandria in Egypt. In the Greek tradition (Ptolemy wrote in Greek, which was the administrative language of the Roman Empire in the Eastern Mediterranean), philosophy -- the love of wisdom -- bridged what we now divide into the humanities and the sciences; he was a mathematician, natural scientist and geographer-astronomer. No manuscripts of the Geographike Hyphegesis (Geographical Guidance) survive from before the XIIIc, but some XIIIc examples survive with maps that bear some relation to those Ptolemy himself drew. Thus, with the exception of some excavated carved maps, Ptolemy is the source for ancient cartography as well as its culmination. Florence was the port of entry for the Greek text in Europe (ca. 1400), and almost immediately it was translated into Latin, which was much more widely understood. Various translations circulated, but Ringmann's is generally regarded as superior to his predecessors'. In the XVc, the Geographia was the core of ancient knowledge of the world, extending from the Canary Islands in the West to China in the East (though not quite to the Pacific), Scandinavia in the North and beyond the Horn of Africa to the South. It was crucial to explorers; Columbus expected to find the East Indies because of Ptolemy's calculations and assertions about longitude. As the world expanded beyond its ancient bounds, discoveries were integrated into the Ptolemaic maps, distinct with their trapezoidal frames. With funding from René II, Duke of Lorraine (which explains the polychromy of the map of Lorraine), Walter Lud, canon in St-Dié-des-Vosges, gathered a group of humanists to knit together the new knowledge coming from Christopher Columbus and other early explorers with a new translation (Ringmann) and new maps (Waldseemüller). Together they revolutionized cartography, and were likely responsible with the coinage of America and a description of the New World. The marginalia extend through the text and the maps. Varying from simple corrections to diagrams (e.g., to B1r) to full paragraphs of commentary, they have been highlighted by no less an authority than Nicolas Barker (sometime head of conservation at the British Library and a member of the Roxburghe Club) as of tremendous importance. They have, nevertheless, eluded attribution -- except to an unusually thorough and well-educated reader (or readers).

Du Pont was a scion of the family famed for its chemical production, though was himself among its more reclusive members. His son "Pete" Du Pont IV was governor of Delaware.

25 full-page woodcuts, 24 of them by Urs Graf, mostly with his monogram, and 1 woodcut by Hans Wechtlin. Roman type. 30 leaves. Folio (c. 295 x 200 mm). Early 17th cent. vellum, gold fillets, with large central colored and gold-stamped armorial supralibros on both covers (unidentified), back gilt. Strasbourg, Johann Knobloch, 1508. Urs Graf's (Solothurn 1485-1528) celebrated fine woodcut series of the the so-called Ringmann Passion of Jesus Christ was first issued in 1506 in two editions, German and Latin. The text from the NT passion was brought together by Johann Geiler von Keysersberg, the famous Swiss born priest (1445-1510). Editor of Urs Graf's present earliest book illustration was Matthias Ringmann (1482-1511), and this is its third Latin edition of one of Graf's most important works. All woodcuts are in strong impressions already displaying the characteristic realism and vigor of his style. Graf seems to have started to cut the woodblocks soon after coming from Solothurn to Strasbourg, and these woodcuts were reprinted in quick succession in Latin and German editions. Graf's 25th woodcut, representing the Man of Sorrow with instruments of torture, was replaced already in 1507 by a more conventioanl cut by Hans Wechtlin (Strasbourg 1480/85 - after 1526) of the Resurrection of Christ.- A very nice copy. - VD 16 B 4696; Kristeller 353; Panzer VI,128; Brunet IV, 421; USTC 683072; Adams R-566; Major & Gradmann, Urs Graf, p. 6 and 130 (illus).

Together they revolutionized cartography, and were likely responsible with the coinage of America and a description of the New World. The provenance of the present copy befits the importance of the work. Sir John Bourne (ca. 1518-1575) was, until the accession of Queen Mary (1553), a rather minor parliamentary figure. Probably due to his support of Mary's claim in the succession crisis, he was knighted, given a manor and elevated to a principal secretaryship on the Privy Council. Having grown quite rich -- he was a founder of the Russia (or Muscovy) Company, perhaps the source of his geographic curiosity -- Bourne was a significant book-collector, and more than a dozen of his volumes (in Greek, Latin and Hebrew) are to be found in institutional libraries. Eight of Bourne's books remain in the collection of York Minster, most having been acquired by Toby Matthew, Archbishop of York. Long afterwards, the book was bought privately by that greatest of all booksellers, A.S.W. Rosenbach, who sold it to Thomas W. Streeter, whose sale of Americana was epochal. Charles W. Traylen -- himself a force among booksellers for some eight decades -- bought the volume at that sale on behalf of Christopher Henry Beaumont Pease, Lord Wardington, in whose collection it remained until his death. His landmark sale of important atlases and geographies in 2006 included some 20 copies of Ptolemy's Geography.
