Description

Sabellicus, Marcus Antonius Coccius.

Exemplorum Libri decem, ordine elegantia et utilitate praestantissimi. (On the last leaf:) Strasbourg, Matthias Schürer, 1509. 4°. 4 unnum. Roman folio (without the last white leaf). Schürer's printer's mark on the last leaf. Half leather binding from ca. 1800 with somewhat decorative gilt spine. (Rubbed and bumped). Vd16 S-27. First edition printed north of the Alps of the examples - mostly selected from the Bible and antiquity - that the Italian humanist and historian probably wrote in the last years of his life, when he was dying of syphilis in Venice (Hoefer refers to Sabellicus' "débaucherie", which cost him his health). "The work was first published posthumously in Venice in 1507, edited by Johannes Baptista Egnatius, who had received the manuscript from the dying author; this is the second edition. On the title page it contains a poem in praise of Sabellicus by a "G.B.C." who only calls himself by his initials, followed by the preface by Beatus Rhenanus to Johannes Franciscus Apezonibus from Mirandola (in Greek verse), as well as a poem in praise of the first editor Egnatius from the pen of Domicus Palladius and the preface to the first edition by the latter. A work printed in very beautiful Roman type. Obviously extremely rare, only one copy in catalog 45 by E.P. Goldschmidt can be traced in the trade.
