Gilt Vellum Binding with
the Papal Coat of Arms
[Tagliaferri, Johannes Baptista]. Manuscript on paper, in Latin. “De executiva et inspectiva ecclesiae potestatibus disputatio.” [Rome?: ca. 1831–44?]. Folio (32 cm; 12.5"). [7] ff., 371 pp.

Gregory XVI (pope, 1831–46) was a fervent ultramontanist and so sought to strengthen the papal prerogatives and powers, and through them the religious and political authority of his papacy. This manuscript on the
executive and investigative powers of the Church, a topic dear to his heart, dovetails nicely with ultramontanism and was dedicated to him. Signed by Tagliaferri at the end of the dedication, it is written in a single easy-to-read hand on a single stock of high quality wove paper with a watermark bearing the date of 1822.
An extended text apparently unpublished, at least separately.
Provenance: Gilt supra-libros of Pope Gregory XVI. Circa 1930 acquired by John Howell, bookseller in San Francisco, and added to his personal library (bookplate on front pastedown). He later sold it to the Pacific School of Religion (bookplate on front pastedown; stamps).
Binding: Full vellum over boards, round spine, no raised bands; spine richly gilt using a variety of tools. Papal coat of arms in the center of each board. All edges gilt.
Binding as above, spine darkened as are the boards, front joint repaired; gilt faded but still attractive and “legible.” Small stamp on a blank page and another in upper margin of the first page of the dedication; charge pocket on rear pastedown.
An impressively bound copy of an interesting and very nicely produced manuscript. (35975)

Interpreting the Prophets
Theophylactus of Achrida; Lonicer, Jean (trans.). Theophylacti Bulgariae archiepiscopi In quatuor Prophetas enarrationes. Parisiis: Apud Iacobum Bogardum, sub insigni D. Christophori è regione gymnasij Cameracensium, 1549. 8vo (17.5 cm, 6.75’’). [8], 112 ff.

Theophylactus (1055–1107) was a Byzantine archbishop of Achrida, in Bulgaria, and an important theologian whose work was included by Thomas Aquinas in his Catena aurea. First published in Latin in the 1520s, his commentaries on the Scriptures were very influential to Erasmus’s exegetical work. This scarce Parisian edition, based on Bogard’s of 1542, was reprinted by his heirs in cooperation with Jean Macé; the title-pages of the two issues bear slight differences in the imprint information. The work features Theophylactus’s commentary on the Old Testament books of Habakkuk, Jonah, Nahum, and Hosea in Loncier's translation from the Greek, which first appeared in 1534; each chapter discusses their most important vaticinia with Theophylactus' interpretations following, with mention of early Christian heresies and doctrinal debates.
Binding: 16th-century polished calf expertly rebacked in slightly lighter leather; spine plain with raised bands accented by blind rules above and below each band. Covers blind-ruled with large gilt fleurons to corners and gilt floral centerpieces. All edges gilt.
Provenance: Contemporary inscription “Perrot” to title-page (possibly Charles Perrot, 1541–1608, a Protestant minister in Geneva who preached religious tolerance and so fell out of favor with Calvin); slightly later name “Langloir” also inked to same.
Small 19th-century photographic portrait of a military officer pasted to verso of front free endpaper. Most recently in the library of American collector Albert A. Howard, small booklabel (“AHA”) at rear.
Pettegree & Walsby record two copies, one in the U.S. (Harvard); WorldCat and COPAC find no copies with Bogard’s imprint.
Renouard, Imprimeurs & libraires Parisiens du XVIe siècle, 281; Pettegree & Walsby, French Books, 8834. Bound and rebacked as above, with onetime cracking to covers near joints also strengthened/refurbished with darkening to leather; minor repair to corners, and later endpapers. Text double-ruled in red, with occasional slight toning and a little foxing to the title-page and last three leaves; a slender waterstain to the upper blank margin of the last two leaves and a small repair to the outer blank margin of the last.
A very nice copy in an interesting binding. (40794)

Torres Villarroel's autobiography reads like a picaresque novel because he really did lead such a wild and adventurous life. Son of a bookseller, he left home (Salamanca) little educated (but an avid student) and “took to the road, becoming in turn apprentice hermit in Tras os Montes, dancer in Coimbra, bullfighter in Lisbon, musician, and failed smuggler” (Oxford Companion). He authored a successful series of almanacs (beginning in 1721), wrote on witchcraft, and in 1726 won the open competition for the chair of mathematics at the University of Salamanca.
His “Vida” is considered one of “the most important in the Spanish language” (Oxford Companion). The first edition of the autobiography appeared in 1743 and subsequent editions through that of 1758 added events and adventures of later decades of his life, the 1743 edition having covered only the first forty years. This edition, curiously, reprinted the text of the 1743 edition, thus leaving off his fifth and sixth decades; or
perhaps that is not “curious,” as the years covered here were more than arguably the most exciting!
Palau 337551 & 337410. Oxford Companion to Spanish Literature 575–76. Quarter mottled sheep, “Valenciana” style, round spine with raised bands accented in gilt above and below; boards covered in a handsome marbled paper and with a matching gilt rule along the leather's edges. Waterstaining almost throughout, often light, sometimes obtrusive, never ghastly; heavy paper strong and good.

A 30-Item One-Author Sampling of
Bodoni “Job Printing”
Turchi, Adeodati. Collection of Bodoni editions of 30 works by Turchi. [Parma: Dalla Stamperia Reale], 1788–96. 12mo & 8vo. In 3 vols.
$2500.00
Click the images for enlargements.
30 different, very short works by Turchi, a Capuchin friar who rose to be Bishop of Parma, plus six duplicates of which two are incomplete. All are prime examples of job printing, executed in the same small elegant font, each page with the same border of type ornaments and a small composed ornament above that; present as below are expositions of faith and doctrine, pastoral letters, remissions and pardons, and many, many homilies. Some entries have, on their first page, a crisply neat rendering of the bishop's coat of arms.
Sermons, pastoral letters, and homilies are among the types of job printing that have provided necessary cash flow for all presses throughout time. And because of their ephemeral and narrow-interest nature combined with their short print runs, they tend to be among the scarcest productions of the Bodoni Press.

Two homilies from Turchi (first name sometimes given as Diodato), a Capuchin friar who rose to be Bishop of Parma, and who favored the Bodoni Press for his printing needs. Each piece opens with a crisp rendering of the bishop's coat of arms.
Sermons, pastoral letters, and homilies are among the types of job printing that have provided necessary cash flow for all presses throughout time.

First of two editions, both issued in 1803. Unanúe offers a written description, including measurements and siting details, of the large mausoleum that the head of the main Franciscan monastery in Lima was erecting for the burial of members of religious societies, and of the order itself. The description is definitely evocative and informative, although this copy lacks the large folding plate of the structure that Marcelo Cabello engraved.

Unanúe (1755–1833) was a polymath, physician, naturalist, meteorologist, cosmographer, university professor, and founder of the San Fernando Medical School. In his role as cosmographer to the viceroyalty, he produced just five of these guides to Peru (1793–97), each containing standard information on geography, political and religious divisions, political and religious position holders by name, highly important statistics, and a
much-coveted engraved map first created by Andres Baleto in 1792 and engraved by José Vazquez.
While a goodly amount of data is the same in each edition of the Guia, annual statistics are not, and when new people were slotted into positions, the new names are given. Text appears on elegantly bordered pages.

Inscribed on a page of Walsh's autograph album is this wonderful sentiment and advice:
“The affectionate interest which I have always entertained for the welfare & happiness, of the eldest daughter, & proper representative, of one of the most estimable, and accomplished ladies who ever adorned the society of Philadelphia, induces me to comply with a request of the possessor of this volume, to inscribe some lines upon one of its pages.
It were impossible to contribute wiser counsel, or more excellent lessons, than those already recorded in this Album, by her honoured Father, & several of his, & her Mothers [sic] friends.
I will only commend her to the most faithful observation of that advice, and to the strictest imitation of the pure & bright example, furnished in the character of her departed & lamented Mother, whose unostentation piety, gave especial grace & dignity to her life, and has no doubt yielded for her immortal spirit, a precious & enduring rest, in Heaven.”
Vaux was a noted lawyer, philanthropist, abolitionist, and civic leader. Miss Walsh (b. 8 July 1812) was the daughter of Robert Walsh (lawyer and abolitionist often remembered as a
famously Catholic figure) and Anna Maria Moylan Walsh (who died in 1826).
Provenance: The Walsh album sold at Anderson Galleries 28 November 1921 (sale 1609) as lot 60. Later in the Allyn K. Ford Collection, Minnesota Historical Society, recently deaccessioned.
Very good condition. (34490)

First edition in English. In 1715 the Grand Master of the Knights of Malta appointed the Abbé de Vertot as historiographer of the order, and in 1726 Vertot published the Histoire des chevaliers hospitaliers de S. Jean de Jerusalem — an influential and oft-cited work, although the order itself felt certain portions not entirely to its taste. This is the first English translation, illustrated with
71 portraits of Grand Masters et al. engraved by Laurent Cars, Jean-François Cars, and others; the
maps of the area, fortifications, and the Hospitallers' military exploits were done by Guillaume Delisle and Charles Amadeus de Berey. Also present are Vertot's “Dissertation on Zizim” and “Proofs of the History of the Knights Hospitallers” (which include document texts in Latin and French) and his “Discourse upon the Alcoran,” originally presented at the French Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres in 1724.
ESTC T53873; Lowndes, VI, 2765. Recent quarter calf over marbled paper sides, old style: round spine, raised bands, gilt beading on bands and gilt double rules above and below each; gilt leather spine labels and gilt center devices in five compartments. Vol. I: occasional light smudges or spots of staining, some plates with mild to moderate foxing; one leaf with short tears from upper margin, touching header but not text; one leaf with tear from upper edge extending into text without loss; one plate with short tear and resulting crease at lower inner corner, not touching image; one plate with a few early inked doodles on reverse. First map with two short edge tears not touching image, one small closed hole touching outer border only. Vol. II: many leaves with mild to moderate foxing mostly confined to margins; two leaves with worming in lower margins, not touching text; one lower outer corner chipped. Paper variously age-toned, with intermittent creasing or cockling.
A strong, agreeable set of this significant, and significantly well-illustrated, work of religious, military, and social history. (34268)

$1200.00
Click the images for enlargements.
A theological and legal treatise on confessors and confession and the sacrament of penance with the emphasis on abuse of the confessional by priests. Telling a priest one's moral and legal transgressions empowers the weak or corrupt priest to then blackmail the parishioner for money or sex or other “favors.”
Father Vilaplana (1712–63), a native of Benimarfull, Valencia, Spain, was a Franciscan, a university lecturer in theology, and an “examiner” for the Inquisition. His handbook gives examples of abuses, lays out the pertinent canon laws and papal edicts, and has a section of questions to be asked of accused priests during court proceedings. The work also discusses punishment and other disciplines that the crimes demand.
Since abuse of the confessional fell under the authority of the Inquisition, this work is de facto a manual for Inquisitors.
This is the “Editio secunda locupletior in paucis.” The Bibliotheca Mexicana was the private press of the great bibliographer, writer, and secular cleric Juan Jose de Eguiara y Eguren.

From humble carter to revered and beatified lay Franciscan is not an easy course to pursue in life, but Sebastián de Aparicio (1502-1600) accomplished it in Mexico. Although he was married multiple times, he is said to have remained chaste, deciding in 1574 to abandon his secular lifestyle for that of a lay Franciscan. He is said to have had great ability to manage and calm animals, including near-wild bulls. His life was filled with teaching, begging, and accomplishing near-impossible things. Offered here is the first edition of Ximénez's biography and the fine album of plates illustrating events in Aparicio's life (see our caption, above).
Finding the “life” and the volume of plates together is uncommon. Only by happenstance did the two volumes come to us within months of one another, from two different continents, allowing us to marry them for this offering. For example, in the U.S., only the Lilly and Bancroft Libraries report owning both works. There is some question as to the number of plates in a complete copy of the Colección: Some sources call for an engraved title-page and 128 plates, while others call for 129 plates.
There seems not to have been an edition of the Vita in Spanish.
Vita: Palau 377047; Sabin 105727A. Colección: Palau 377048; Sabin 105728. Vita: Contemporary Italian binding of quarter leather with “wallpaper” covered boards; edges of boards seriously rubbed and exposing underlying paste boards. Internally very good. Colección: 20th-century Spanish quarter leather, with paper in imitation of treed calf on the covers. Private ownership stamps on title-page. Missing 29 plates; the other hundred in very good! condition. (2093)
