PEDAGOGY. MNEMOTECHNICS — PHILOSOPHY.
1179 Leporeus, Guglielmus. Ars memorativa. Paris, Jod. Badius Ascensius, ca. 1520.
4*o. 32 numb. 11. On the title the printer’s mark of Badius, in the
text three large beautiful woodcuts. Boards, both sides cove-
red with incunable-paper. 240.—
Graesse IV, p. 170. Brunet III, col. 996: „Livre peu connu."
Very fine copy of one of the rarest mnemonic works. It is adorned with the dated device
of Badius (Silvestre, no. 468), three interesting woodcuts and some init.als. There is a woodcut re-
presenting a head with different parts named: “Gustus Olfactus, Sensus comunis, Phantasia, Imagina-
tiva, Cogitativa, Aestimativa, Memorativa.”
In the beginning a letter of Badius to the author Leporeus, dated 1520.
Very interesting mnemonic work in the best state of preservation.

A most interesting and curious book by the famous German satirist Thomas Murner
(1475—1537?), being a humorous card game for the learning of logic. At first he had kept
this method to himself and was therefore reproached with sorcery, but after having made known his
secret he was recompensed by the University of Krakau.
Probably he had made the acquaintance of this playing-card-method at Paris where L e f fe v r e
d’E t a p 1 e s (Faber Stapulensis) lectured on arithmetics in the same manner. Murner employed it
also on metric, logic and jurisprudence.
In the “Logica memorativa” the 51 fine woodcuts are the same as in the play
itself and they are very curious ones. Each of them shows a man or a women, signs and numbers
referring to the relative chapte1-. The first, entitled “Typus logices”, is a full-page cut and is taken
from the Margarita philosophica of Gregor Reisch, printed 1504 by Schott; the others are new ones
and they illustrate in a phantastic way single doctrines of logic.
A beautiful, large copy with many rough edges; the woodcuts in
very fresh impressions. Extremely rare.

The last and greatest part of the Aurea opuscula of Petrus Ravennas called also
Tommai. It is certain that this part appeared alone as the Brit. Museum quotes the same edition
(with signature G—K). At end the date is a misprint, 1560 being given instead of 1506. Fine copy
with some beautiful initials.

Rare edition of the chief work of the Dutch scholar Rodolphus Agricola (properly Roelof
