Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 16th-CENTURY BINDING 8vo. 2 vols in 1. I: first issue with 'Propetius' uncorrected on t-p, replacement t-p, corrected, at rear. 3 parts in one, 44 unnumbered ll., A-E8 F4; 36 unnumbered ll., A-D8 E4; 72 unnumbered ll., a-i8. Italic letter, occasional Roman. Small ink smudge and hole to blank section of title, affecting couple of words to verso, light age yellowing. II: 132 unnumbered ll., a-r8, s4. Italic letter, occasional Roman. Handsome copies in slightly later Italian (likely Bolognese) goatskin, lacking ties, double blind ruled, outer blind roll of interlacing vine leaves, central panel with (front) small gilt-stamped ivy leaves to corners and 'CAT. TIB. PROP. LVCA' gilt to centre, and (rear) identical gilt leaves to corners and gilt-stamped sun to centre, raised bands, compartments double blind-ruled, traces of paper label at head, a.e.g. (oxydised), minor expert restoration to head and foot of spine, and corners. Ms Latin ex-libris of Xanthe (Santi) Voconius to first title, two additional ms annotations in his hand to penultimate leaf of first part (Italian verse) and last of second part (Latin quotation from Pontanus), his occasional ms marginalia throughout. The charming binding was probably produced in Bologna c.1530-40 by the Pflug and Ebeleben binder. To that workshop are also attributed two bindings at the Bib. dell'Archiginnasio (16.i.III.7, 4.Q.V.27), which share the same blind roll of vine leaves, a typically Bolognese motif. The early owner, Sante Voconio, is indeed recorded at Bologna in the 1530s. His vernacular literary skills of which we have a rare ms example in this copy ('Quand'io veggio la terra / Vestir dinuovo in falda un bianco'.) - were commended by the Italian scholar Claudio Tolomei (1492-1556) in his printed correspondence. Although he offered to facilitate the printing of Voconio's works, nothing has apparently survived. Very good copy of this Aldine first edition (first issue) of the poems of Catullus, Tibullus and Propertiusthe three most important elegiac authors of the late Roman republic and early imperial era. 'The ed. Of 1502 was composed by Aldus and Aavantius; the former wrote the preface, the latter the epistle, at the end of Catullus, to Marino Sanudo, a Venetian nobleman' (Dibdin). First printed by Wendelin of Speyer in Venice in 1472, Catullus, Propertius and Tibullus's poems revealed a new poetic feeling rejecting the heroic character of the epic tradition in favour of a more familiar tone and intimate subjects like love, erotic desire, rejection and mourning. Catullus's (84-54BC) 'carmina', 116 of which are extant, include verse on his love and desire for 'Lesbia', and lampoons against public figures like Julius Caesar. Tibullus' (55-19BC) verse survives in four books, only the first two of which are of safe attribution, and is mostly devoted to his intense and star-crossed love for the married 'Delia'. Propertius (c.50-15BC) enjoyed the protection of Maecenas and Augustus and is most famous for his four books of poems, many written for his beloved 'Cynthia'. This 'elegiac collection' format was successfully republished in Europe throughout the century. Bound together is a copy of the first Aldine edition of 'Pharsalia', an epic poem by the 1st-century Roman author Lucan on the civil war between Julius Caesar and Pompey, a complex blend of fiction and historical reality. This ed. is 'formed chiefly on the Venetian one of 1493, with the commentaries of Sulpitius; but Aldus in his preface mentions some corrections wich are made from an ancient and valuable ms. communicated to him by Mauroceno, to whom he dedicates the work' (Dibdin).

8vo, two parts in one volume, 18th century French cat's paw calf, marbled endpapers, maroon morocco spine label, gilt decorations and lettering, a.e. stained red. Woodcut vignette printer's device of the Estiennes on the title-page. The celebrated and often reprinted edition of Catullus and his two fellow Roman poets, Tibullus and Propertius, edited by French scholar Joseph Justus Scalinger (1549-1609), one of the most influential classical scholars of the Renaissance. Scalingerís Catullus became the definitive text of the great lyrical poet, and like many of Scalingerís works, a model for future textual scholarship. Scalinger "produced, in 1577, a new textus receptus of Catullus (if less so for Tibullus and Propertius), which endured, in common use with some modifications, for two hundred and fifty years" - Arthur Freeman, Fifty Rare and Interesting Continental Books, Summer 2020. Edges just a little rubbed; fine copy. Adams C1156; Schreiber, The Estiennes, 248 First edition edited by Joseph Scalinger.

A very good, crisp, well-margined copy in French calf c.1700, marbled paper pastedowns, triple-ruled border gilt, gilt rosettes to each corner, gilt armorial (Lambert de Thorigny) centrepiece, gilt inner dentelles, spine richly gilt, edges speckled red, joints rubbed. Printed label 'Bibliotheca Lamoniana Y' and in ink '125', autograph 'F. Wulff Lund, 5 Mars 1895 17 francs' on front pastedown, early price '£1-5s' and shelfmarks '3', 'M', '129' and '132' to fep, autograph of Robert Dalrymple 1746, another faded beneath, stamp of coroneted 'L' [Lamoignon] to t-p, early inscription '25ii' (binding cost?) to rear ep. The attractive, gilt armorial binding was produced c. 1700 for Nicolas Lambert, seigneur of Thorigny and Vermont. Very good, crisp copy of this Aldine first edition, edited by Hieronymo Avantio, of the immortal poems of Catullus, Tibullus and Propertiusthe three most important elegiac authors of the late Roman republic and early imperial era. First printed by Wendelin of Speyer in Venice in 1472, Catullus, Propertius and Tibullus's poems revealed a new poetic feeling rejecting the heroic character of the epic tradition in favour of a more familiar tone and intimate subjects like love, erotic desire, rejection and mourning. Gaius Valerius Catullus (84-54BC) spent most of his life in Rome where he was acquainted with important authors and politicians. His most famous 'carmina', 116 of which are extant, include verse on his love and desire for 'Lesbia', and lampoons against public figures like Julius Caesar. Albius Tibullus (55-19BC) was part of the circle of the Roman orator and politician Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus. His verse survives in four books, only the first two of which are of safe attribution, and is mostly devoted to his intense and star-crossed love for the married 'Delia'. Sextus Propertius (c.50-15BC) enjoyed the protection of Maecenas and Augustus and is most famous for his four books of poems, many written for his beloved 'Cynthia'. This 'elegiac collection' format was successfully republished in Europe throughout the century; in the 1590s, several editions appeared in which the texts were 'castigati' and 'expurgati' of their most obvious sexual references. This copy was once part of the Bibliotheca Lamoniana. First acquired by Guillaume de Lamoignon in 1650, the library was augmented from 2500 to over 6000 volumes in the following century, especially by Chrétien François II de Lamoignon. Upon his death in 1789, it was sold to the English bookseller Thomas Payne. Nicolas Lambert (1659-1729) de Thorigny and Vermont was a French politician and bibliophile. Like several members of the Lamoignon family, he held office as a Parliamentary councillor and then president of one of the chambers. Robert Dalrymple (also Hamilton) (b. 1716) was probably the third son of Sir Robert of Castleton (d. 1734) and grandson of Sir Hew Dalrymple, 1st Baronet of North Berwick. Fredrik Wulff (1845-1930) was professor of philology at Lund.

Italian-style spine with three double bands alternating with four single bands, underlined by blind fillets. Darkened edges. Corners somewhat worn, joints slightly cracked, minor loss to the extremities of spine. A good copy, first leaf of the first bound edition partly loose, with a small hole affecting a few letters or words on the verso. Some marginal spots. Early inked foliation in the outer upper margin, the three title lines in a frame inked by the earliest owner of the copy. In the same hand some marginalia, pen trials, reading marks, and the annotation on the verso of fol. i7 of the first edition, 'Quand'io veggio la terra / Vestir di nuouo un bianco uelo / Et l'acqua al uerno conuertirsi in uetro / Et chi poi ueggio nel girar al ciclo / Al Tempo che uien dietro / La fredda naue distillarsi, e il gielo / Allhora io dico, ahi donna di guai temp[.] / In quel ghiaccio crudel, ch'in uoi sta sempre'.

Viscount Hinchinbrooke, M.P. and Other Properties including . a few Fine Early French and Italian Bindings, sale Sotheby's 22 December 1957, lot 414; purchased by the English bookseller and bibliographer Graham Pollard (1903-1976; his purchase inscription on the front pastedown). A fine volume, in its contemporary binding, comprised of two rare Aldine editions, both printed in 1502 in the highly portable octavo format which was introduced by Aldus for the Latin classics beginning with the Virgil of 1501. The volume contains the first Aldine edition of the Latin elegiac poets (generally published together following the Venetian princeps of 1472), followed by the first Aldus edition of Lucanus' Pharsalia, which first appeared in Rome in 1469. The Aldine collection of Latin elegias poetry is presented here in its first issue, which bears the misspelling of 'Propetius' on the title leaf, along with Aldus' prefatory letter on the verso erroneously addressed to Marino Sanuto Benedicti filio, instead of Leonardi filio. As Fletcher has suggested, the particular sequence in the signature of the leaves – Aldus rarely adopted the reduplication of signature-marks, as here – suggests the possibility that each part could have been bound separately, and therefore could had a separate circulation. The volume is in its original binding, executed in Venice. The covers are decorated with tools widely used on Venetian bindings in the first decades of the sixteenth century, including, among others, the ivy-leaf tool – rather improperly referred to as the Aldine leaf – which is stamped here at each corner.I.

CATULLUS, TIBULLUS, and PROPERTIUS: These three first century B.C. poets, like Ovid, were very popular in the Renaissance, and have always been grouped together since the 1472 first edition of Wendelin of Speyer. The manuscript tradition of all three is poor, and Catullus had only recently been rediscovered (in 1375) in a single corrupt manuscript which has since perished. The loss of this manuscript makes the early printed editions all the more valuable. Aldus's edition was edited by Girolamo Avanzi, a young scholar who had made a name for himself in Catullus studies. The edition was far superior to its predecessors, and this together with its unusually large press run of three thousand copies ensured its influence on the text of Catullus for many years.

Second Aldine edition of a collection of poems by three of the most important classical poets of the 1st century BCE, writing in the elegiac tradition. The poets Gaius Valerius Catullus (84-55 BCE), Albius Tibullus (55-19 BCE) and Sextus Propertius (50-15 BCE), had a strong preference for writing about intimate and familiar subjects as love, eroticism, rejection and mourning, which sets their lyrical and elegiac poetry apart from the heroic poetry of many other, earlier classical poets who often focused on the epic of heroes. In the present work, the poets express their love and desire for various women, among others "Lesbia" (Catullus), "Delia" (Tibellus) and "Cynthia" (Propertius). he binding is finely executed and the binder's stamp gives the initial G of his first name. Fléty records him merely as "Vignal" without first name or initial, but he is presumably Vignal fils, for Devauchelle, III, p. 54, notes that Georges Trautz (1808-1872/79) used the services of Vignal père, an "excellent décorateur". The son clearly deserves to be better known.With an occasional contemporary annotation in faded, brown ink. Slightly browned, but otherwise in very good condition and only about 4 mm trimmed at the head and foot. The binding also very good, with only slight wear to the hinges and tiny scuffs on the raised bands, the head and foot of the spine and the board edges.l Adams C1139; Ahmanson-Murphy 113; Aldo Manuzio tipografo 133.1; BM STC Italian, p. 161; Dibdin I, p. 374; EDIT16 10358; Renouard 1515:1 (p. 70); USTC 821183; for the binder Vignal: Fléty, p. 174. Blind-tooled brown goatskin morocco (early 20th-century) by the Paris bookbinder G. Vignal (active ca. 1890-ca. 1930), signed with a blind stamp in the foot of the front turn-in ("G. VIGNAL REL. DOR.", even though the tooling is all blind except the name and date on the spine), sewn on 5 cords (recessed?, though they align with the 5 false(?) bands on the spine), each board with a geometric pattern of double fillets (4 mm apart), double fillets (1 mm apart) in each spine compartment, with a frame of double fillets (3 mm apart) on the turn-ins, "Catullus" and "1515" in gold on spine, blue-grey laid and plain laid endpapers. With Aldo's woodcut anker and dolphin device on the title-page and on the verso of the last leaf, each flanked by "AL . DVS" in letterpress capitals. Set in Aldo's italic type (with upright capitals), the first italic printing type. Pages: 148, [2] ll.

First Aldine edition of a collection of poems by three of the most important classical poets of the 1st century BCE, writing in the elegiac tradition, this copy with the outer forme of the first quire (A) in the corrected state, with "Propertius" on the title-page instead of the erroneous "Propetius" (a press variant: as far as we know, it is always correct in the running heads and where the three names on the title-page repeat on i8v). The poets Gaius Valerius Catullus (84-55 BCE), Albius Tibullus (55-19 BCE) and Sextus Propertius (50-15 BCE), had a strong preference for writing about intimate and familiar subjects such as love, eroticism, rejection and mourning, which sets their lyrical and elegiac poetry apart from the heroic poetry of many other, earlier classical poets, who often focused on the epic of heroes. In the present work, the poets express their love and desire for various women, among others "Lesbia" (Catullus), "Delia" (Tibellus) and "Cynthia" (Propertius). The present collection of poems became very successful as they ran through many, sometimes bowdlerized, editions throughout the 16th century. It is also often regarded as one of the most successful works of the Aldine press. With some 17th-century(?) Latin annotations in the margins and occasional underlining, both in brown ink; a 1772 owner's inscription on the otherwise blank i7v: "Jo Antonio Icodori[?] da P[?]o vora[?]; and the armorial bookplate of the Edinburgh advocate William Hugh Murray (1822/23-1867) of Geanies on the front paste-down. Lightly washed, probably the binder's attempt to make the annotations, inscription and occasional minor stains or smudges less prominent (some small brown marginal stains in e7 just reach the text on e7v), a small marginal tear repaired. Binding a little worn at the extremities. Overall in good condition and with generous margins.l Adams C1138 (with "Propetius" corrected as in ours: cf. C1137); Ahmanson-Murphy 40b (cf. 40 & 40a); Aldo Manuzio tipografo 55; BM STC Italian, p. 160; Dibdin I, p. 374; EDIT16 10356; Renouard, 1502, no. 16 (p. 39); USTC 821181. Gold-tooled, green long-grained sheepskin (vertical grain) (ca. 1800), sewn on 5 recessed cords, each board with a frame made from a decorative roll with a tulip-like flower inside each corner (curiously a frame of blind single fillets runs along the outside edge of the gold-tooled frame, perhaps made first as guide lines), the flat spine divided into 5 fields by 6 impressions of a second decorative roll, with the names of the three authors in roman capitals in the 2nd field and each of the others with a larger thistle-like flower, wove endpapers (made on a single-faced mould?), the inside pages of the bifolia serving as paste-downs and their conjugate free leaves have a white glaze with a watered-silk (moiré) pattern, brown stuck-on headbands, green silk ribbon marker. With more than 100 spaces (2 8-line, 6 6-line and the rest 2-line) with guide letters left for manuscript initials, none filled in.
