Condition: Buono (Good). Three works in one volume, 8vo.  Contemporary vellum over boards, blind-stamped fillets on the panels with the lettering P.V.B 1597 on the front panel, old entries of ownership on the title-page. Ex libris Franz Pollak-Parnau. I. MACROPEDIUS:(2), 123 [i.e. 125], (1) leaves. A-Q8 (Q8 is a blank). With the printer's device on the title-page. Catalogo unico, IT\ICCU\BVEE\021641.RARE EDITION. This is a literal reprint of the Birckmann edition of 1568. Macropedius' most successful textbook, dedicated to the youth of Utrecht, on the art of letter writing was first published as Epistolica at Antwerp by Hillen in 1543 and after his death under the title Methodus conscribendi epistolas in 1561 at Dillingen. Added to this edition for the first time was the tract Epitome praeceptionum de paranda copia verborum & rerum, per quaestiones, which was falsely attributed to Macropedius, and, in fact, was written by Johannes Rivius (1500-1553) and first published at Wesel in 1548.Printed at the end is also Christoph Hegendorff's (1500-1540) Modus conscribendi epistolas; this is a literal reprint of the edition that appeared in Hagenau in 1526.?Macropedius' Epistolica is divided into two parts, the first treating the invention, the second, disposition and elocution. Although Macropedius does not acknowledge Erasmus, in the first part he draws on the Opus de conscribendis epistolis in prescribing forms of greeting, address, and farewell and in classifying letters. He names five categories; demonstrative, deliberative, judicial, didascalicum or dialecticum (Erasmus' letter of discussion), and indicativum (Erasmus' extraordinary or family class). Macropedius provides his own sample letters, and he is more rigid in applying rhetorical precepts to letter writing than Erasmus. Although he concedes that the structure of the letter varies with the type of argument, he nevertheless defines for each type except the familiar or formal structure based on the divisions of the oration. This is a procedure that Erasmus had criticized in Francesco Negro's De modo epistolandi. Macropedius emphasizes art much more, individual judgment and the demands of decorum much less, than Erasmus? (J. Rice Henderson, Humanism and the Humanities. Erasmus's ?Opus de conscribendis epistolis' in Sixteenth Century Schools, in: ?Letter-Writing Manuals and Instruction from Antiquity to the Present?, C. Poster & L.C. Mitchell, eds., Columbia, SC, 2007, p. 158).Georgius Macropedius was born as Joris van Langhvelt in Gemert (North Brabant, the Netherlands). Little is known about his boyhood. After having attended the parish school he moved to s'-Hertogenbosch. Here, he attended the local grammar school and lived in one of the boarding-houses of the Brothers of the Common Life. In 1502, at the age of fifteen, he became a member of the fraternity and prepared for a career in teaching. About ten years later he was ordained and started teaching Latin at the municipal grammar school. In the years 1506?1510 he had already started writing Latin plays for his students. The first drafts of his drama Asotus (The Prodigal Son) date from this period. He took on a classic name, as was the custom among sixteenth century humanists: Joris became Georgius and Van Langhvelt was translated into Macropedius.In 1524 he was appointed headmaster of St. Jerome's in Liège. In 1527 Macropedius returned to 's-Hertogenbosch and by the end of 1530 he had already moved to Utrecht, and, reputed to be a loyal Roman Catholic, was appointed headmaster. He transformed St. Jerome's in Utrecht into the most famous school of the country. He taught Latin, Greek, poetry, rhetoric, and possibly Hebrew, mathematics, rhetoric, and theory of music too. Every year he composed both text and music of a lengthy Latin school song. At St. Jerome's he wrote most of his Latin textbooks and plays, which were published not only in Utrecht, but also in Antwerp, Basel, Cologne, Frankfurt, 's-Hertogenbosch, Paris, and in L. Book.

Ms. indexing on verso of rear flyleaf and note on rear pastedown: "collated perfect J. H. 1818", plus another crossed out note with date "1816".

Dark leather label on spine with gilt title and author. Worn spine caps and board corners. A very interesting copy in a sixteenth-century elaborate Protestant binding, overall in good condition. This work is an anthology of Pindar's best poems, a collection of the finest poetic texts of this Greek poet, which is provided with a Latin translation and commentary by the scholar Michael Neander (1529-1581), a Protestant polymath educated at Luther' and Melanchthon's University of Wittenberg. Neander included in is glosses several references to works on Pindar by other authors, such as the great humanist Desiderius Erasmus, who devoted plenty of room to Pindar's sayings and aphorisms in his Adages (1500). In the introductory letter to his work, Neander states he made use of the precious studies on Pindar by Johannes Lonicer and Philipp Melanchthon. The work is dedicated to the German classical scholar Valentin Friedland of famous Protestant School of Goldberg in Silesia. He died in 1556, the same year this book was published. At the end of the book is included a selection of short texts and mottos by the Father of the Church and pagan authors. ADCAM, P1241.

FIRST EDITION. 170 x 110 mm. (6 3/4 x 4 1/4"). 28 p.l., 494 pp., [1] leaf (blank); 3 p.l., 463 pp. FINE CONTEMPORARY BLIND-STAMPED PIGSKIN over bevelled wooden boards, covers framed by decorative lattice roll, upper cover with central panel depicting Judith, a sword in her right hand, the head of Holofernes in her left, signed "M R" above the caption; lower cover with a panel showing Jael in the act of killing Sisera, her left hand holding a chisel to his temple, her right hand, holding a hammer, raised to strike a blow, the plate signed "M R" at the end of the caption, raised bands, ink titling at head of spine and on fore edge, edges stained red, two original brass clasps. Title page with 17th century(?) ownership inscription of Georg Laurence Seydenbecher; verso of title with round blue ink armorial stamp; occasional neat ink marginalia in an early hand. VD16 N 413; USTC 684027. For the binding: Haebler I, 381-82. ?Text slightly and uniformly toned because of paper quality (half a dozen quires a bit more browned), isolated small ink stains or foxing, pigskin with minor soiling to edges, just a hint of wear to lower corners, but A FINE COPY, the contents thoroughly fresh, and the unsophisticated binding with beautifully distinct stamps. This is a very rarely seen copy of an outline of the essentials elements for a humanist education, written by a noted German pedagogue, and offered here in a wonderful blind-stamped binding featuring two fierce biblical heroines. Symbols of courage embraced by the Reformation, Jael and Judith appeared on front and back covers of a number of 16th century bindings, and both are shown here in elegant Renaissance garb, clutching the weapons they used against enemies of Israel. Jael offered the Canaanite general Sisera refuge in her tent following a battle and, having lulled him to sleep with warm milk, is shown on the rear cover here in the act of striking a stake through his temple. Beneath the image is the text "Sic pereant omnes inimici tui, Domine" ("So perish all of your enemies, Lord" [Judges 5:31]). Judith pretended to seduce the Assyrian Holofernes, then got him drunk and cut his head off; here on our front cover, she triumphantly displays his head, brandishing his sword. Below her is a verse from Psalms: "Voluntatem timentium es faciet dominus" ("He will do the will of them that fear him" [Psalm 144]). We did not find these plates in EBDB or any of the usual reference works, but they are likely the work of bookbinder Matthias Radmann, who became a master binder in Leipzig in 1546 and who signed his work "M R," often at the end of a caption, as on the Jael plate. A student of Melanchthon, Michael Neander (1525-95) became director of the college of Ilefeld, where he developed an influential curriculum with a heavy emphasis on Latin and Greek classics, rhetoric, philosophy, history, theology, physical science, and geography; the school attracted students from all over Europe. In our volume, he collects excerpts of important authors on these and associated subjects, beginning with the Greek Fathers on theology and continuing through philosophy, mathematics, medicine, chemistry, history, natural sciences, geography, rhetoric, poetry, and grammar. Our 1585 edition seems to be the sole printing and is very rare. Bindings of this sort are almost never found now so clean and with their elaborate blind decoration so extraordinarily sharp.
