Condition: Buono (Good). 4to (194x132 mm). [34] leaves. Collation: a-c8 d6 e4. Woodcut vignette of St Augustine kneeling before the Virgin and Child on a throne on l. a1r. Colophon and double Pacini's woodcut device on last leaf verso. Woodcut decorative initials on black ground. Roman type. Decorative 19th-century binding in orange calf with gilt roll-border on covers and small papal device at the center, color paper endleaves (slightly worn and rubbed). Small marginal hole to l. a6 not affecting the text, some occasional minor foxing, all in all a good copy.Rare early Florence edition, a reprint of the 1496 Pacini edition, of this Italian translation of the apocryphal Soliloquia, a dialogue which describes St Augustine's state of mind between his conversion and baptism, containing a discussion of wisdom and the immortality of truth. In the later Middle Ages, Augustine's original text of the Soliloquia (?Discourses on God and the immortality of the soul') was virtually forgotten, and in its place a different and more mystical pseudo-Augustinian Soliloquia, composed in the thirteenth century, in the form of a confession, began to gain popularity. Of all St Augustine's apocryphal texts, this one was the most successful in Italy and in France. The Soliloquia was translated into Italian three times in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and, although the translation remains anonymous, it is traditionally attributed to Fra Agostino da Scarperia, and it was certainly made in an Augustinian milieu.Edit 16, CNCE27760; Sander, 697; J.P.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 4to (19.5 cm), decorative 19th century binding in orange calf with gold roll-border on covers and small papal device at centre, inside a bit of foxing but generally well preserved. On first leaf at top, a woodcut showing St. Augustine praying, and two woodcut printer's devices at last leaf; text in Italian, roman type, ff. nn. 34. Very rare early florentine printing containing the Italian translation of the apocryphal Soliloquia, a dialogue which describes Augustine's state of mind between his conversion and baptism, containing a discussion of wisdom and of the immortality of truth.

Of all the apocryphal Augustine texts, this one enjoyed the greatest success in Italy and in France. The Soliloquia was translated three times in Italian over the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and, although the translation remains anonymous, it is traditionally attributed to Fra Agostino da Scarperia, and it was certainly realized in an Augustinian milieu. Sander 697: "Rarissima edizione del volgarizzamento d'una delle opere del corpus agostiniano che riscossero il più vasto successo e godettero di larga diffusione anche popolare; ma, essendo considerati proprio per questo libri d'uso comune, raramente venivano conservati, il che ne determina l'attuale rarità" (so the 'popular' nature and use of this book meant such editions hardly survive).

[(Colophon:) Venice: Simon Bevilacqua. 4 November 1495.] Small 8vo. Recased in the original sixteenth-century vellum, spine lettered 'Sermon[es]' in ink, ties wanting; ff. [112]; a-o8; gothic letter, text in two columns, woodcut initial to f. a3r; a few marks to covers, spine restored at head, endpapers renewed; small wormhole to inner margin of ff. [a1]-f4 (slightly touching a few letters), light dampstaining to lower outer corner, quires c, f, and o somewhat browned; overall a very good copy; early annotations to e5 and sidelining to 5 ff., old library stamps 'Bibl. SS Apostolorum Neapolis' to first and last leaves (see below); twentieth-century notes pencilled to flyleaves.Rare Bevilacqua edition of the pseudo-Augustinian Sermones, a bestselling collection of sermons falsely attributed to Augustine of Hippo, supporting the Augustinian Hermits' priority in their controversy with the Augustinian Canons over the Order of Saint Augustine.The Sermones ad heremitas, also known as Sermones ad fratres in eremo, were first published in Modena in 1477 by Balthasar de Struciis. The collection was forged in the context of a medieval debate over which branch of the Augustinian Order held greater precedence - the Augustinian Hermits or the Augustinian Canons. The sermons' purpose was to support the historically questionable claim that Augustine himself had established the Hermits in Hippo before the Canons.The work was reprinted at least twelve times during the fifteenth century, including the 1494 edition by Johann Amerbach and this Venetian edition by Simon Bevilacqua (fl. 1485-1518). The sermons' authenticity, however, was eventually rejected by the Maurists (a congregation of Benedictine monks) in the seventeenth century. Once attributed to the twelfth-century preacher Geoffroy Babion, it is now widely accepted that the Sermones were composed by different authors at different times, between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. The importance of the Sermones lies in the fact that, although spurious, they were widely accepted as genuine. Consequently, they were instrumental in contributing to the historical understanding of Augustine and revealing the late medieval experience of the saint, which was a foundational component of Augustinianism (see Saak, pp. 81-138).The printer Simon Gabi (after 1450-1518), known as 'Bevilacqua', produced numerous editions across a wide range of subjects, many of which were of significant cultural value. His publications, however, frequently suffered from insufficient proofreading, leading to numerous errors caused by hurried and poorly revised typesetting. The nickname 'Bevilacqua' (literally 'water-drinker') was likely given to him ironically, suggesting that Simon was far from abstemious. This is evidenced by an invective from Bishop Pietro Bruto (d. 1493), printed at the end of one of his works as an apology for the many printing errors: 'Est impressorum lector nova culpa malorum / turbida sunt quorum corda sepulta mero' ('Reader, the fault of printers is new among evils / their hearts are clouded, buried in wine', DBI). Our copy bears sixteenth marginal annotations to ff. e5r-e5v, seemingly correcting such errors in the text.Provenance: From the library of the Theatines at Santi Apostoli in Naples. The church and monastery of Santi Apostoli served as the headquarters for the Theatine order from 1574 until the order's suppression in the early nineteenth century, when the library was likely dispersed.ISTC shows six copies in the UK and thirteen copies in the US.Goff A1319; HC 2005; IGI 1038; Proctor 5395; BSB-Ink A-925; GW 3007; ISTC ia01319000.
