Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First. EX-COLL. PRINCE-ABBOT COELESTINUS II STEIGLEHNER, MIKLÓS JANKOVICH and the HUNGARIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM Solinus: Vienna: Johann Singriener for Lucas Alantse, 1520. First Camers edition. Pomponius Mela: Vienna: Johann Singriener for Lucas Alantse, 1518. Editio princeps (first edition). Folio in 6s and 4s (11 7/8" x 8 3/16", 301mm x 209mm). [Full collation available.] With Apianus' 1520 folding woodcut world map. Bound in contemporary clasped beveled wooden boards backed in alum-tawed pigskin. Authors and date in black (tarnished silver?) to the front cover. On the spine, six raised bands. Authors and titles ink manuscript to the first panel. "SOLINVS" ink manuscript to the upper edge of the text-block. Soiling to the spine, with some wear at the head. A quarter-inch loss to the upper fore-edge of the front board (above the clasp). The thongs of the clasps renewed. Some worming to the boards, continuing into the text-block (from the front paste-down to r3, affecting the text to b3), and from 2C4 to the end (mostly in a single track). Dampstain along the upper edge, mostly quite mild (heavy to F2 and surrounding leaves), sometimes at the fore and lower edges as well. An old fore-edge tab to 2L2 (Vadianus' letter). The map restored. Armorial bookplate of Coelestinus Steiglehner to the front paste-down, with the oval purple ink-stamp of the Hungarian state museum. Ink institutional ownership inscription and shelfmark of the "Bibiliothecae Hungaricae Jankowichianæ/ H. ord. 13". Oval purple ink-stamp of the Hungarian state museum and their rectangular deaccession stamp to the verso of the map as well as to the verso of the Pomponius Mela title-page. Oval black ink-stamp of the Hungarian state museum and their rectangular deaccession stamp to the title-page. Mechanical ink-stamp ("600550") to the verso of the Solinus title-page. Gaius Julius Solinus wrote his treatise De mirabilibus mundi (On the wonders of the world) -- also called the Polyhistor ("very learned"), as here -- in the first half of the third century of the current era. Although it draws on the work of Pliny and Pomponius Mela, it sets its observations on customs and peoples in a firmer chorographical-cartographical framework. Its editio princeps (1473) was before the discovery of the New World, and so its awareness of the world was surpassed only east- and southward. Over time, the Polyhistor along with the work of Pomponius Mela and Ptolemy became the framework for modern atlases. The present work is not (only) the Polyhistor but the commentary (enarrationes) of Johannes Camers )1468-1546), the Franciscan humanist. The cordiform (heart-shaped, though in reality more renal) map of Peter Apian (Petrus Apianus, 1492-1552) had long been thought the earliest appearance of "America" -- i.e., South America -- on a map, but it has been antedated by Waldseemüller's 1507 map Universalis Cosmographia, of which only one copy survives. It is thus the earliest obtainable map naming America. Pomponius Mela (d. AD 45) was born hard by the Strait of Gibraltar; it is no accident that as a resident of the end of the known world, he was the first Roman geographer whose work survives. Until Ptolemy was translated into Latin in 1406, it was the principal geographical work available in Europe. Joachim Vadianus (van Watt, 1484-1551) here edits for the first time Pomponius Mela's De orbis situ libri tres. Coelestinus II Steiglehner OSB (1738-1819), was the last prince-abbot of St. Emmeram's Abbey in Regensburg. Thereafter the volume came into the possession of the greatest Hungarian bibliophile of the early XIX, Miklós Jankovich (1772-1846), whose library was sold under financial necessity to the Hungarian Parliament, bringing it -- along with antiquities and art -- into the library of the Hungarian National Museum (Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum). Solinus: Adams S-1391; Aldin-Landis 520/25; Church 45; JCB 1:77; Sabin 86390; Shirley 45 (map). Mela: Sabin 63956; VD16 M 2310.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. First Camers edition of Solinus. Vienna: Johann Singriener for Lucas Alantse, 1520. Editio princeps (first edition) of Pomponius Mela. Vienna: Johann Singriener for Lucas Alantse, 1518. Folio in 6s and 4s (11 7/8" x 8 5/16", 301mm x 212mm). [Full collation available.] With Apianus' 1520 woodcut world map excised and framed separately. Bound in contemporary stabbed vellum over later vellum, with three sets of red alum-tawed pigskin binding cords and yapp edges. On the spine, the authors in ink manuscript twice (horizontal at the head: "Solinus/ et/ Pomp. Mela" and lengthwise at the center ("SOLIN & POMPON"), and the remnants of paper spine lable at the head ("Camerti/././Solini"). Paper shelf-label ("130") at the tail. All edges of the text-block stained blue (Mela previously red). Presented in a cloth clam-shell box. The original binding laid over later vellum, with patches and losses to the original, as well as soiling, cockling and shrinkage. Old shelf-mark ("D.5.5.") to the front cover. Loss to the paper spine-label. No paste-downs, revealing old manuscript binder's waste. Tanning to the index of the Solinus (aa-ee) and throughout the Mela. Dampstaining to the upper fore-corner of the Mela 2k1-l1, and throughout along the lower edge. Losses to the lower fore-corners of 2c3 and 2e3, with splits along the gutter of 2k1. Old ownership inscription (". libro Guglielmi") to the front paste-down. Ink marginalia to 2i3r and to 2L4v. Particularly full margins (deckles at, e.g., the lower edge of quire 2p) both to the volume and to the map. Gaius Julius Solinus wrote his treatise De mirabilibus mundi ("On the wonders of the world") -- also called the Polyhistor ("very learned"), as here -- in the first half of the third century of the current era. Although it draws on the work of Pliny and Pomponius Mela, it sets its observations on customs and peoples in a firmer chorographical-cartographical framework. Over time, the Polyhistor along with the work of Pomponius Mela and Ptolemy became the framework for modern atlases. The present work is not (only) the Polyhistor but the commentary (enarrationes) of Johannes Camers (1468-1546), the Franciscan humanist. Laid out in the traditional manner of a manuscript commentary, the text unfurls from the spine and is ringed on three sides by notes on the text. The text and commentary are followed by Camers's index of locations, which, as the title boasts, is indeed perco[m]modus Studiosis, very convenient for scholars. The cordiform (heart-shaped, though in reality more renal) map of Peter Apian (Petrus Apianus, 1492-1552) had long been thought the earliest appearance of "America" -- i.e., South America -- on a map, but it has been antedated by Waldseemüller's 1507 map Universalis Cosmographia, of which only one copy survives (in the Library of Congress; Waldseemüller also made gores for a globe in the same year, which survive in a few more instances). It is thus the earliest obtainable map to name the continent "America." The present example has unusually full margins. Pomponius Mela (d. AD 45) was born hard by the Strait of Gibraltar; it is no accident that as a resident of the end of the known world, he was the first Roman geographer whose work survives. A frequent source of Pliny (whose Historia naturalis has geographical components but belongs properly to a different genre), Mela bridges the gap between the Greek geographers (Eratosthenes, Ptolemy) and his successors; his knowledge of the expanding Roman Empire in western and northern Europe surpasses that of his predecessors. Until Ptolemy was translated into Latin in 1406, it was the principal geographical work available in Europe. Joachim Vadianus (van Watt, 1484-1551) here edits for the first time in print Pomponius Mela's De orbis situ libri tres ("three books on the description of the world"). Solinus: Adams S-1391; Aldin-Landis 520/25; Church 45; JCB 1:77; Sabin 86390; Shirley 45 (map). Mela: Sabin 63956; VD16 M 2310.…
