FUNDAMENTUM
199 Fundamentum aeternae felicitatis. Leipzig, Melchior Lotter, 1499.
4to. Goth. letter, 33 lines, 2 unn. leaves, 43 PP«= 24 leaves with sign.
#/• veil. Frs. 600 —
Hain* 7396. Proctor 3040. Brit. Mus. Cat. Ill, p. 651.
Nice edition of this catechism, the text printed with the so called Sdrwabacher
type of Lotter, the title is printed with Letter’s nice large canon and missal types. This
is probably the first book printed in Germany which contains pagination. Haebler,
in his „Handbudi der Inkunabelkunde”, p. 58, mentions only a Venetian incunabulum
of 1499 with pagination, and does not know a German.
It contains chapters against the drunkenness and the devouring.
Very large and good copy, in the inner margins of the first leaves a small rent repaired.
Only one copy in U. S. A. (acc. to Census).
Junianus MAIUS
or Maggio, Philologist, from Naples, lived in the second half
of the 15th cent.
200 De priscorum proprietate verborum. (Venice, Johannes Rubeus
Vercellensis), 1490.
Fol. Rom. letter, some words in Greek type, 2 cols., 57 lines, 34§
unn. 11. with sign. With a large capital at beginning, painted in red and
blue, other initials supplied in red. Wooden boards, back and part of
sides covered with blind-stamped pigskin, 2 clasps (one gone). Frs. 300.—
Hain*-Cop. 10545- Proctor 5126. Brit. Mus. Cat. V, 416—7. Voullieme, Berk, 4229.
This edition appears to derive from the original edition of Moravus, Naples, 1475,
Maius’s prefatory letter being shortened and specifying “loannes uercellensis” in place
of Morauus in 1. 14. (Brit. Mus. Cat.)
First and last leaves wormed, but a fine, large copy in clean and fresh condition.
With note of ownership of the Charterhouse of Buxheim and its library-stamp on leaf 2.
Only one copy in U. S. A. (acc. to Census).
Antonius MANCINELLUS
Italian Grammarian, Humanist, born at Velletri in 1452, died
in Rome about 1506.
