Incunable first edition of De fide et legibus (On faith and laws), one of the most important works of William of Auvergne (post 1180 - 1249), in which he incorporates classical Arabic philosophical works of Ibn Sina, Al-Farabi and others, and it is the first of his works to be printed. It forms one of seven parts of his principal monumental work Magisterium divinale (The divine teaching), a compendium of philosophy and theology that attempts to explain the whole natural world. William of Auvergne was one of the most prominent French philosophers and theologians of the early 13th century. He was Bishop of Paris from 1228 until his death in 1249 and although he was in the very Christian position of bishop, he was one of the first Western scholars to try to integrate classical Arabic, Greek and Jewish philosophy, for example Ibn Sina, Al-Farabi, Ibn Rushd, and Solomon ibn Gabirol, with Christian doctrine. These writings had recently become available in Latin translation. On the one hand this allowed William to oppose errors he considered dangerous for Christian beliefs, but on the other hand, and more importantly, he found a large source of philosophical inspiration in these Arabic (and other) texts.In the present work, divided into ten parts, each of several chapters, William of Auvergne talks about reason and the intellect and its power and abilities, faith and love, the nature of error, on faith and miracles and the power of both, but also on natural philosophy, magic, superstition and other "idolatries" of that time. He dwells for example on credulity, heresy and demonology. He also refers to some questionable passages in the Jewish and Mosaic law, which he nevertheless explains as measures to guide the people against idolatry and magic.With a contemporary inscription: "Cart. in Buxheim. Contenta" and a small stamp of the "Bibl. Buxheim'" on the first page. The book therefore originally belonged to the Carthusians at Buxheim in Germany. The publisher Günther Zainer was known for his gifts to the Carthusian monastery in Buxheim and our copy of William of Auvergne's work was probably one of them. The monastery's library was sold in the 19th-century. Also with the bookplate of the library of George Dunn (1865-1912), an English bibliophile with an impressive library at Woolley Hall and a particular interest in paleography and early printing. Binding slightly stained and rubbed, first and last leaf somewhat loose, some water stains (especially at the end of the book), but still a beautiful copy in good condition.l BMC II 323; Goff G 711; GW 11863; Hain-Copinger 8317; IGI 4602; ISTC ig00711000; Oates 883; Polain 1807; Proctor 1556; for the author: Thorndike III, pp. 338-371.

(Freiburg, Kilian Fischer, ca. 1490/1491). Small folio. Bound (presumably in the 18th century) in later marbled boards with a vellum spine. Binding with wear, edges of baords worn, smaller wormholes, and overall wear. The spine seems to be make up of two peices of vellum, with a small gap where they meet at the middle of the spine. The small wormholes go through the block, causing tiny loss of parts of lettering here and there. The final leaf lacking a larger piece causing partial loss of text to ca. 20 lines. The leaf is mounted from verso. First eight leaves with a damp stain to lower margin and first and last leaves with some soiling and staining. Otehwise, the block is overall clean and fresh. (58) ff. 52 lines and headline, double columns. Three-and four-line initial spaces with printed guide-letters. Initials touched in red throughout and red underlinings and markings. Scarce first edition thus, being the second edition (following the 1483-edition printed in Gand) of William of Paris? highly important work on the art of prayer and the first book printed in Freiburg. There has always been consensus about the book being printed around 1490, no later than 1491, but the printing place of the book has previously been contested. Earlier bibliographies (Eg. Hain, Grasse) state that it was printed in Basel by Johannes Amerbach, but it has later been proven (after the thesis of BMC) to have been printed by Kilian Fischer in Freiburg im Breisgau and is now considered the first book printed there. The scholastic philosopher Guillaume d?Auvergne (ca. 1180 - 1249), also known under the names Guillermus Episcopus Parisiensis, Wilhelm von Auvergne, William of Paris etc., was the most prominent French philosopher-theologian of the early 13th century and one of the first Western scholars to attempt to integrate Classical Greek and Arabic philosophy with Christian doctrine. He was also a first mover in creating a new metaphysics that combines Neoplatonism with empiricism and ontology, profoundly changing the face of medieval philosophy from the 13th century. ?William of Auvergne or Paris, (ca.1180/90?1249), Bishop of Paris from 1228 until his death in 1249, was one of the first wave of thinkers in the Latin West to engage with the writings on natural philosophy and metaphysics by Greek, Islamic and Jewish thinkers that had recently become available in Latin translation. William took these writings to pose errors dangerous to the Christian faith, and his philosophical works are in large part aimed at combating their errors. Yet at the same time he recognized their philosophical value and, though often confused about their meaning, incorporated their teachings into his own thought. On many of the important issues of later medieval thought, William is the first to provide in-depth discussions, and his voluminous works are an important and still under-appreciated source for our understanding of the development of medieval philosophy.? (Stanford Encycl. of Philosophy). ?By the third decade of the thirteenth century there emerge the first signs of a new metaphysics. Alongside Neoplatonizing idealism we now see attempts to lay greater emphasis on the ontological density of the created world and to structure reality without resorting to the terms of a relation to the divine ideal? The two figures who did the most to promote the new metaphysics, as well as a profoundly Aristotelianizing campaign to establish the criteria for knowledge, were masters whose important work was done between 1220 and 1235 in the chools of theology at the new universities. Robert Grosseteste (d. 1253)? [and] William of Auvergne (d. 1249).? (John Marenbon, Medieval Philosophy, 1998, vol III, p. 204). Making extensive use of Avicenna and Aristotle as they were just becoming known through translations, in order to understand Christian faith and philosophy, William as a bishop also had concerns that reflected the practical use of his teachings. The present work, ?Divine Rhetoric? is his instructive magnum opus. Here, he seeks to explain and illustrate the art of prayer ? or divine eloquence -, listing seven characteristics and perfections of prayer. The work is equally famous for its application of Ciceronian rules of oratory to Christian oratory and prayer.

Incunable first edition of De fide et legibus (On faith and laws), one of the most important works of William of Auvergne (post 1180 - 1249) and the first of his works to be printed. It forms one of seven parts of his principal monumental work Magisterium divinale (The divine teaching), a compendium of philosophy and theology that attempts to explain the whole natural world. The parts were first printed as separate works and no more appeared in print until Georg Stuchs in Nürnberg published the second edition of De fide et legibus and two other parts in a collection of Auvergne's works in 1496, followed by three more parts in 1497. William of Auvergne was one of the most prominent French philosophers and theologians of the early 13th century. He was Bishop of Paris from 1228 until his death in 1249 and although he was in the very Christian position of bishop, he was one of the first Western scholars to try to integrate classical Greek, Arabic and Jewish philosophy, for example Aristotle, Solomon ibn Gabirol (Avicebron) and especially Ibn Sina (Avicenna), with Christian doctrine. These writings had recently become available in Latin translation. On the one hand this allowed William to oppose errors he considered dangerous for Christian beliefs, but on the other hand he found a large source of philosophical inspiration in these Greek, Arabic and Jewish texts.Although the book bear neither a year of publication nor the name of a printer or publisher, Günther Zainer (1430-1478) listed it in a 1476 advertisement and it is set in his type. Zainer established the first printing office in Augsburg. This beautiful incunable in chancery folio is not only a rich source for medieval philosophy and theology, but also - as Thorndike confirms - a picture of magic, superstition and idolatry in the first half of the 13th century.With a contemporary inscription: "Cart. in Buxheim. Contenta" and a small stamp of the "Bibl. Buxheim'" on the first page. The book therefore originally belonged to the Carthusians at Buxheim in Germany.
