A propos de cet article

Provenance: [Claude-Ignace] Brugiere [de Barante] on page 1. Exlibris Bibliothéque de M. de Barante on paste-down. The library at Chateau de Barante contained approximately 60.000 volumes.Ed. by Janus Cornarius (1500-1558) from Zwickau. Translations from the Greek are by Th. Morus, Erasmus, O. Luscinius, Andreas Alciatus, Ausonius, Sleidan, Cornarius and a few more. - Hoffmann I2 172; VD16 C-5144; Hieronymus, Griechischer Geist . No. 299.The last leaf with Bebel's device: the wonderful Palma Bebeliana, drawn by Hans Holbein the Younger, and engraved by Hans Lützelburger. It shows a strong palm tree with Bebel in its crown, suppressed by a heavy ashlar. This refers to the then usual procedure of not allowing a palm tree to shoot up too quickly. In the device the ashlar represents the printer's platen, and illustrates the difficulties a young printer had to face.
