*TIRAQUEAU (André). Opera omnia, quae hactemus extant, Septem Tomis distincta : quorum hic Primus continet libros : De Nobibilitate et Ivre Primigeniorum [...] Francfort, sn, 1574. In-folio of [12] ff. (including title in beautiful engraved frame with engraved arms on verso, large engraved arms at dedication and beautiful engraved portrait of author), 531 pp. and [19] ff. index. Remains of binding (first wooden ais with remains of clasps and spine). The jurisconsult André Tiraqueau (1488-1558), provost judge and lieutenant-general of the Sénéchal du Poitou in Fontenay-le-Comte, welcomed to his Cénacle de Fontenay-le-Comte (a circle of scholars composed mainly of jurists and great humanists, philosophers, connoisseurs of ancient literature, philologists, historians and physicians) the young monks Pierre Lamy and François Rabelais, who used him as a model for the character of Trinquamelle in Gargantua and Pantagruel. The Tiers Livre was largely inspired by Tiraqueau's De legibus ("Treatise on Laws"). He maintained friendly relations with Christofle de Thou, Michel de l'Hospital and Charles Dumoulin. In 1541, he was called by the king to sit on the Parlement de Paris, having refused a seat on the Parlement de Bordeaux a few years earlier. His encyclopedic knowledge and finesse of mind earned him the title of "the Varron of his century" by Théodore de Bèze. André Tiraqueau's work was of prime importance to the development of French legal culture, and was a great success. He wrote numerous treatises, the most famous of which are De nobilitate ("Treatise on nobility") and De poenis temperandis ("Treatise on the moderation of penalties"). The value of his writings, inspired by Greek and Latin authors (Plato, Aristotle, Galen and Cicero), lies not so much in the new solutions he came up with as in the contribution he made, in times of turmoil, to the reorganization of various legal institutions, on the borderline between common law and customary law. In his treatise De legibus connubialibus, Tiraqueau reactivated the Querelle des femmes by asserting the protective role of the husband, and hence the superiority of men over women. Rabelais's Tiers livre echoes some of his ideas through Panurge (source: Wikipedia).

Astronomical and astrological work by one of Copernicus' teachers, who remembers him as his mentor at the end of the Preface to De Revolutionibus: "Mathemata mathematicis scribuntur, quibus et hi nostri labores, si me non fallit opinio, videbuntur etiam reipublicae ecclesiasticae conducere aliquid, cuius principatum tua Sanctitas nunc tenet. Nam non ita multo ante sub Leone X cum in Concilio Lateranensi vertebatur quaestio de emendando kalendario ecclesiastico, quae tum indecisa hanc solummodo ob causam mansit, quod annorum et mensium magnitudines, atque Solis et Lunae motus nondum satis dimensi haberentur. Ex quo equidem tempore, his accuratius observandis, animum intendi, admonitus a praeclarissimo viro Domino Paulo episcopo Semproniensi, qui tum isti negotio praeerat. Quid autem praestiterim ea in re, tuae Sanctitatis praecipue, atque omnium aliorum doctorum mathematicorum iudicio relinquo, et ne plura de utilitate operis promittere tuae Sanctitati videar, quam praestare possim, nunc ad institutum transeo." [Mathematical calculations and questions are written by and for mathematicians, by whom these works of ours - if I am not mistaken - are also deemed useful for the Republic of the Church, whose leadership is held by Your Holiness. Not long ago, the issue of calendar reform was considered under the reign of Leo X in the Lateran Council. Yet no decision was made because there was no sufficiently precise measurement of the length of the years and months and the motions of the sun and moon. From those days on, I exercised my wits on more precise observations, admonished by the most celebrated man, Dominus Paulus, bishop of Fossombrone, then head of the commission. What I have achieved in this matter I leave to the judgment of Your Holiness above all, and all other doctors in mathematics. And not to promise too much, I will now turn to the contents of the book]Copernicus had come into contact with mathematicians, astronomers and astrologers During his stay in Bologna beginning in 1497, Copernicus had come into contact with mathematicians, astronomers, and astrologers, a scientific environment in which Paulus de Middelburg was highly regarded. The relationship between Copernicus and Paulus de Middelburg is documented very precisely in the study by R. S. Westman, devoted to Copernicus and Astrology. The two scholars also entertained an interesting correspondence in later years. Welker finds textual evidence of Bishop's role and importance in the scientific discussions of the time in Gassendi's commentary on a letter from Bishop to Copernicus: "His role and importance in the fervent scientific discussions of his time becomes tangible in Pierre Gassendi's commentary on a letter from Paul to Copernicus." Paulus de Middelburg, c. 1455-1534, physician, mathematician, astronomer and astrologer, became bishop of Fossombrone in 1494. He wrote important works on calendar reform and this is considered his major work. He presented this book to the Fifth Lateran Council (1512-17) for consideration of calendar reform. He was against returning the equinox to March 21 and opposed the idea of abandoning the lunar cycle or placing Easter on a fixed Sunday of the year. He did, however, propose a change in the cycle by reducing the seven embolic months to five.A typographical masterpiece, this figurative work, divided into two parts, deals with calendar reform.The illustrations are probably by Francesco Griffo, the famous inventor of Manuzio's Italic typeface, who was collaborating with the Fossombrone printer in those years. The valuable full-page woodcut consists of three conjoined parts: the first depicts the Virgin in glory with child in a hemicycle of popes, the second and third depict Christ on the cross silhouetted against scenes from the
