Hard Cover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. An As New unmarked copy in parchment-like boards with title label and embossed crest with an As New slipcase. 373 pages. Translated by Florence A. Gragg. 10 plates the fresco cycle, in ten scenes , of the life of Aeneas Sylius Piccolomini by Pinturicchio, painted between 1502 and 1509 in the Cathedral at Sienna. Pope Pius II was born Enea Silvio Bartolomeo Piccolomini (18 October 1405 - 14 August 1464), was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 19 August 1458 to his death. Aeneas Silvius was an author, diplomat, and orator, and private secretary of Antipope Felix V and then the Emperor Frederick III, and then Pope Eugenius IV. He participated in the Council of Basel, but left it in 1443 to follow Frederick, whom he reconciled to the Roman obedience. He became Bishop of Trieste in 1447, Bishop of Siena in 1450, and a cardinal in 1456. He was a Renaissance humanist with an international reputation. Aeneas Silvius' longest and most enduring work is the story of his life, the Commentaries, which was the first autobiography of a pope to have been published. It appeared posthumously, in 1584, 120 years after his death. PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME WITH SLIP CASE OF 0.9 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST.

Condition: Good. Title and colophon on the last leaf (245a): Pij ij pontificis maximi cui ante summum episcopatumprimum quidem imperiali secreta rio: tandem episcopo deinde cardinali senensi. Eneas siluius nomen erat, familiäres epistole ad diuersos in quadruplici vite eius statu trans misse: Impensis Antonij Koburger Nure[m]berge, imp[re]sse finiu[n]t xvj k[a]l[enda]s Octobris [16 Sept.] anno salutis Christiane [et] c[etera] Mcccclxxxvi [1486] Folio, a printed work consisting of 245 unnumbered leaves with ornate Gothic letters, a single-column text block and neatly painted red initials. The leaves are marked with neither signatures, nor catchwords, nor numerals. Throughout the pages of the book, there is contemporary handwritten marginalization. The author is Pope Pius II, born Enea Silvio Bartolomeo Piccolomini, head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from August 19, 1458, until his death. Writing under the name Aeneas Silvius, he was a diplomat and orator, as well as private secretary to Antipope Felix V, then Emperor Frederick III, and subsequently Pope Eugenius IV. As Pope, he was the ideal of the age of humanism. A true Renaissance polymath, a patron of archaeology and the arts, and alongside all this, a committed devotee of human life. The book contains the correspondence of Aeneas Sylvius in a total of 432 epistles. It has no separate title page, but rather begins immediately with the table of contents under the inscription: »Numerus et ordo epistolarum in hoc opere contentarum«. In this table of contents, some 30 entries regarding Hungarians or Hungary can be read: »De rege Ladislao. (fol. 52) »Bello thurcorum et vngarorum rex polouie et cardinalis. (fol. 63) »Nouitates vngarie et de conventu nurembergensi. (fol. 78) »Hortatur legatos regni vngarie vt Ladislaum absque conditione regein recipiant. (fol. 81) »Ungari spreto Ladislao regni herede verö regis polonie. (fol. 93) »De rebus vngarie et ecclesie auizamentum. On the 21st leaf, minimal loss; the 107th leaf is repaired; on one or two, a smaller stain. In contemporary, repaired parchment binding, with new endpapers and two cord tie loops.

L'ouvrage est dédié à Christophe Radziwill (1547-1603), membre de la puissante famille lituano-polonaise, prince du Saint Empire Romain, duc de Birze et de Dubincki et ardent calviniste. Freher présente dix sources de l'histoire de la Bohême, à commencer par la plus ancienne, la chronique de Cosme de Prague (environ 1045-1125) . La "Chronica Bohemorum" suit la compilation de Freher, sous la marque au Pégase de Claude de Marne, successeur d'André Wechel, l'imprimeur-libraire de Francfort, qui édite également en 1608 la "Bohaemia pia", recueil de vies de saints de Bohême par l'homme d'église pragois Georgius Bartholdus Pontanus, de Breitenberg. Le quatrième texte est l'édition en 1617 de la "Majestas Carolina", recueil juridique de CXXVII statuts, par lequel Charles IV (1346-1378) avait tenté en vain de renforcer le pouvoir royal central face à la noblesse de Bohême. Les deux derniers textes, datés de 1575, sont édités à Bâle par l'imprimeur protestant Pietro Perna. Il s'agit de "l'Historia Boiemica" de l'évêque d'Olomouc (Olmütz), Jan Dubravius (1486-1553) en 23 livres dont la première édition date de 1551 et le "De Bohemorum.origine et gestis" d'Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini, proche de l'Empereur Frédéric III Habsbourg et futur pape Pie II (1458-1464). Bel et rare ensemble de textes qui témoignent du rayonnement politique, culturel et spirituel, au coeur de l'Europe, de la Bohême médiévale (Xe - XIVe siècle).

Provenance: Some contemporary marginal annotations; ownership inscription and notes of Dr. David Laird, M.D. on the front paste-down. Pope Pius II (1458-1464) travelled widely and was a prolific writer; two incomplete editions of his work were published by Henrich Petri in 1551 and this edition in 1571 which includes accounts of his many travels and in particular his secret mission to Scotland with Cardinal Albergati "The voyage was very tempestuous and Piccolomini vowed to walk, if spared, barefoot from the port of arrival to the nearest shrine of Our Lady. He landed at Dunbar and, from the pilgrimage of ten miles through ice and snow to the sanctuary of Whitekirk, he contracted the gout from which he suffered for the rest of his life" (Catholic Encyclopedia).Two of his most important works were either entirely or partly written during his period as Pope: "his geographical and ethnographical description of Asia and Europe; and his "Memoirs", which are the only autobiography left us by a pope. They are entitled "Pii II Commentarii rerum memorabilium, quae temporibus suis contigerunt". Earlier in his life he had written, besides "Eurialus and Lucretia" and the recently discovered comedy "Chrysis", the followinghistorical works: "Libellus dialogorum de generalis concilii auctoritate et gestis Basileensium"; "Commentarius de rebus Basileae gestis"; "Historia rerum Frederici III imperatoris"; "Historia Bohemica" (Catholic Encyclopedia).

Seltener und früher Druck, als Druckort wird in älteren Bibliographien noch Köln genannt. - Die 1444 entstandene Liebesgeschichte De duobus amantibus (besser bekannt unter dem Titel Euryalus und Lucretia) war in der Renaissance äußerst beliebt und erfuhr zahlreiche Nachdichtungen und Neubearbeitungen (vorliegend die Fassung des Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini mit dessen Erläuterungen). Die Novelle gehört trotz ihrer kompositorischen Mängel zu den Perlen der erotischen Novellenliteratur [.]. Klassisch in ihrem Aufbau, vor den Höhepunkten jeweils durch verzögernde Momente geschickt unterbrochen, verdankt die Novelle ihre formale Meisterschaft vornehmlich zwei Anregungen: der Kunst Boccaccios und der antiken Typenkomödie (KLL). - Einbanddeckel etw. geworfen.
