Studi e testi a stampa, Roma, 1996, no. 2104.   FIRST EDITION, dedicated to Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici (Florence, February 20, 1570), of this collection of religious and moral teachings in form of letters, especially addressed to nuns and vidows (cf. A. Erdmann, My Gracious Silence, Luzern, 1999, p. 187). The edition was shared between the printers Sermartelli and Giorgio Marescotti, as the latter's name appears on the title-page of approximately half of the surviving copies (cf. G. Guarducci, Annali dei Marescotti tipografi editori di Firenze (1563-1613), Firenze, 2001, no. 13). The work consists of several tracts and thoughts on the management of a perfect Christian life, e.g. the respect for authority, the correct interpretation of the Scriptures, and so on, and it is full of examples drawn from Prolaghi's own experience. At the end of the volume are printed four letters by Prolaghi. ?L'indigesta raccolta di Zanobi Prolaghi (1571) sancisce la definitiva trasformazione della lettera in trattato di propaganda del riformismo cattolico, certo in gran parte responsabile di questa radicale riduzione dell'epistolografia a precettistica?

Etat : Buono (Good). JESUITS AND CALVINISTS IN 16TH-CENTURY BRAZIL4to (202x144 mm). 52 leaves. Collation: A-N4. Printer's device on title page. Modern flexible vellum with inked title on spine. Some light foxing and marginal staining. A good copy.Rare first edition dedicated to Scipione Gonzaga. The work, divided into two books, contains a various orations, one of which was read at the Council of Trent in 1562 in the presence of Pope Pius IV, and another addressed to the consuls of Gubbio, as well as a series of letters written on behalf of Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga, of whom Gabrielli was secretary, and addressed to high prelates (such as Marcello Cervini, future Pope Marcellus II) and princes. The volume also includes some family letters addressed by the author to his brothers and some friends.Gabrielli, an ecclesiastical philosopher, orator and man of letters, as well as a great connoisseur of Latin and Greek, translated Xenophon, Plutarch and Gregory Nazianzen. He took part in the Council of Trent as secretary to Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga. He died in 1579 in Gubbio, his hometown.The last seventeen pages of the book are occupied by the Latin translation of a letter from a Jesuit whose name is not given. The letter, translated from Italian, is dated São Vicente, 1 June 1560. This letter, which is preserved in the Spanish original in the Archivium Romanum Societatis Jesu, was first printed in Italian in the collection Nuovi avisi dell'Indie di Portogallo (third part, Venice, 1562). It was never published at the time in Spanish or Portuguese (see S. Leite, Monumenta Brasiliae, Rome, III, 1958, pp. 246-269). It was written by José de Anchieta, also called the Apostle of Brazil, because he was the co-founder of the cities of São Paulo and Rio, the fifth Provincial of Brazil and the first scholar of the Tupi language, of which he wrote a grammar and a dictionary (cf. Leite, op. cit., II, 1957, pp. 67*-71*). John Paul II beatified him in 1980.This very important report, the result of direct and deeply suffered knowledge, was sent to Rome to Father Diego Laynez, second general of the Society and one of St. Ignatius' first collaborators. Anchieta, who belonged to a group of Jesuits stationed in Piratininga (São Paulo) under the leadership of Father Luis de Grã (Granius), tells of the immense physical and moral effort that had to be made to convert the Indians and to persuade them to baptise their many children (often born half alive because of the abortion practices that were widespread among the indigenous women). He advocated the creation of villages (aldeias) -something that was systematically done with the support of Governor Mem de Sà-, to which the Indians could be brought for easier indoctrination.He then goes on to say that Father Alfonso Bràs (Blasius), with untiring zeal, helped to build brick houses, attracting many natives, especially women, to populate the village. The natives practised cannibalism on prisoners captured in battle. These were slaughtered, after complex ceremonies, with a ritual blow from a stick vibrated from behind. The abortion, cannibalism and sexual practices of the Indians weigh heavily on the heart of the author, who also reports on the partial and temporary successes of the fathers. Young men educated in the village Christian school, for example, transform themselves at puberty by becoming worse than their fathers, getting drunk and indulging in lust.One of the climaxes of the story comes when four Frenchmen arrive in the village with a group of Tamoio Indians. They were Calvinists sent by Calvin himself at the request of the French commander Nicolas Durand de Villegagnon, who had founded the colony of ?France antartique? on a small island in the bay where Rio now stands. The island was fortified and named Fort Coligny. One of the four Frenchmen whose name Anchieta does not mention, although he describes him in great detail, is Jean Cointa, sieur de Boulez, an adventurer, scholar and theologian. His heterodox views.

Etat : Buono (Good). Folio in quarto. (4), 64 leaves. ()2, A-H4. With the printer's device on the title-page. Modern boards.Edit 16, CNCE 29277. FIRST EDITION. The dedication to Scipio Costanzo, captain in the army of the Republic of Venice, is dated December 21, 1574. In the short introduction, Toscanella writes that he had used the treatises of Lippo Brandolini and of ?altri huomini dottissimi' to compile his tables. He classifies letters into several categories according to the classical contemporary canon of epistolary theories: accusatorie, iscusatorie, suasorie, dissuasorie, hortatorie, dehortatorie, raccomandatorie, petitorie, concessorie, negatorie, denegatorie, laudatorie, biasimatorie, ringratiatorie, congratulatorie, narrative, consolatorie, responsorie, commandatorie, consigliatorie, and giocose, with some under-categories, short instructions, and exemples for each type of letter.The work is not only confined to letter-writing, but covers in nuce the whole field of rhetoric: figures of speech (schemes and tropes), rhythm and meter, etc. It also contains tables with stylitistic devices for orations according to Francesco Robortello's De artificio dicendi. At the end is a short treatise ?how to write letters for beginners?, and on p. 53 is found a short bibliography of Toscanella's rhetorical works.?Il Toscanella mise mano a diversi filoni che vanno dalla letteratura, alla storia, alla filosofia e tuttavia lo fece secondo una angolatura particolarissima: quella scolastica [.] Questo taglio risulta, particolarmente evidente nelle opere di tipo retorico, che costituiscono più del 79% dell'intero totale (42 edizioni su 53). Possiamo distinguerle in quattro gruppi di testi. Citeremo innanzitutto le sue edizioni e traduzioni di classici della retorica: troveremo moltissimo Cicerone, e anche Aftonio, Quintilliano, Catullo, ma anche, più modernamente, il Trebisonda, il Vives, e l'Agricola. Di vere edizioni tuttavia non si tratta. Consistono piuttosto nel tentativo di fornire ai lettori-discenti un supporto mnemonico per il loro studio: uno sforzo dunque assai interessante di divulgazione che rende piena ragione anche della traduzione dell'Agricola. Pertanto la Retorica, sarà ?ridotta in alberi', Il dialogo della partitione oratoria verrà ?tratto in tavole', le opere di Catullo, Tibullo e Properzio saranno in indicis ordinem adducata: e non si tratta qui di sunti, ma di vere e proprie tabelle, di semplici schemi, cioè, capaci appunto di impressionare visivamente [.] Un altro nucleo di opere riguarda poi interventi personali del Toscanella in materia poetica, retorica o grammaticale e infine un più esiguo numero offre semplicemente manuali o dizionari. Il Toscanella si distingue dunque per aver tentato in modo assai interessante la via di un uso strumentale della stampa, esaltata nella sua capacità di dilatare la cultura ben oltre la ristretta cerchia dei magistri. Su questa strada mostra di avere certo alle spalle letture di respiro europeo, quali il già citato Agricola, ma probabilmente anche Ramo: il che spiega le numerose ristampe che le sue opere ebbero in Europa. Paradossalmente, il suo successo fu invece limitato in Italia, come dimostra il basso numero delle ristampe dei suoi titoli: solo 18 su 53 edizioni complessive? (C. Di Filippo Bareggi, Il mestiere di scrivere. Lavoro intellettuale e mercato librario a Venezia nel Cinquecento, Roma, 1988, pp. 86-87).Florentine by birth, Orazio Toscanella taught near Rovigo before moving to Venice by the mid-1560s. He became a member of the Accademia della Fratta and was on friendly terms with some of its prominent members such as Lodovico Domenichi, Girolamo Ruscelli, Lodovico Dolce, and Girolamo Parabosco, and later also of Federico Badoer's Accademia Veneziana. From 1558 onwards he wrote over fifty works for the press but earned little from them. The dedications of his books and his letters make constant reference to his personal misfortunes and to the aid that he has received or been. Book. …

Etat : Very Good. The preferred edition of Eden's collection of voyages, the Walpole copy 8vo, (182 x 120 mm). 1 [blank], 10 ff., 466 ff., 6 ff., pp. 267 - 270 misbound; frequent misnumbering, woodcut illustration of the stars around the Antarctic Pole (verso f. 436). Later crushed red morocco possibly for Walpole, who favoured it, as noted in the Strawberry Hill catalogue, panels with gilt rule and ornament; spine in compartments ruled and lettered in gilt; edges with pale marbling. Tiny corner loss to f. 110 away from text, some ink staining to ff.266-268, light water staining to the last few leaves, else a very good example. The principal Elizabethan compendium of overseas discovery before Hakluyt, a work that help shape English geographical knowledge on the Century of Discoveries, this is the preferred second and expanded edition, including numerous new voyages translated into English (famously the first translation into English of Varthema's account of Mecca), of Richard Eden's 1555 edition, a work that ushered a period of British global ambitions. Through this work, English readers encountered news and descriptions of Asia, the Philippines, China, Japan, Frobisher's account of the Northwest Passage, and for the first time, the first European account of Mecca. This edition contains several significant additions from various other sources edited by Richard Willes, a member of the Society of Jesus from 1565 to 1572. The new material most notably includes Pereira's description of China (1565), Acosta and Maffei's descriptions of Japan (1573) by Willes, Frobisher's account of his search for the Northwest Passage, and the first printed accounts in English of these places - as well as the first appearance in English of Ludovico di Varthema's (the first non-Muslim Westerner to enter Mecca) account of his travels to Arabia, Persia, and India, first published in Rome in 1510. As a contemporary and associate of Columbus, Magellan and Vespucci, and a member of the Spanish Council for the Indies, Anghiera's accounts can be considered reliable and authoritative. Similarly, the narrative of Oviedo, who visited the West Indies no fewer than five times, is based on his firsthand experience as a soldier and colonist in the New World. Provenance: John Spencer, 1st Earl Spencer (1734-1783), his armorial bookplate on front pastedown, containing his coat of arms and those of his wife Margaret Georgiana Poyntz (1737-1814). Spencer was a bibliophile who built up a fine library at Althorp, his country seat in Northamptonshire. The Althorp library was bought in 1892 by Enriqueta Rylands for the John Rylands Library, University of Manchester, this copy was a duplicate and exited the Spencer collection at an earlier date; bookplate to front pastedown of art historian and politician Horatio (Horace) Walpole (1717 - 1797) gothic novelist and antiquarian, his armorial bookplate to front pastedown with motto Fari Quae Sententiat. The sale of Walpole's fabled library took place in his gothic revival villa Strawberry Hill House over twenty-four days in 1842; from the collection of Nicholas Ingleton, Australia.
