33000 €

From a follower of the Boucicaut Master.

The painter uses an extensive palette with sharp contrasts, and does not hesitate to use a bright minium red that he contrasts with the blues and greens in the happiest of ways.
The abstract backgrounds and the systematic use of a grassy ground, give to the whole manuscript a beautiful coherence and a great elegance.

Some of the preserved paintings, such as those of the Annunciation to the Shepherds, the Crucifixion, and St. Margaret, bear witness to the artist's talent and the high quality of this manuscript.

It should be noted that the composition of the The Flight into Egypt is closely mirrors of a Boucicaut composition.

More Details >

4000 €

Completely revised and expanded edition of the custom of Burgundy by Chasseneuz.

A book on the origins of French law.
Chasseneuz's comments on customary law in Burgundy draw heavily on Roman law. Following him, other authors will revise local customary rights, such as Bouhier with the Customs of Berry. At the beginning of the 16th century, all customary law was thus reviewed and put back in order, constituting a legal corpus which would serve as the basis for the great reform of the Napoleonic Code.
"The appearance of his book was an event in the legal world. Its success soon exceeded the limits of Burgundy. [...] We saluted, in its author, the man who, the first, had just introduced the light of Roman law in the chaos of local customs." PIGNOT, "A Jurisconsult in the Sixteenth Century: Barthélemy de Chasseneuz", Larose, 1880

Beautiful Gothic print on two columns embellished with initials and 7 full-page engravings of inheritance trees. The completely revised edition of 1534 appears with a sequel, dated 1535 and with its own title page, listing all the additions to the Commentaries of Chasseneuz published in 1517 and 1528.

2000 €

First edition.

Girolamo Mercuriale (1530-1606), when the body had been somewhat neglected by the medieval culture, was inspired by the principle of Juvénal: Mens sana in corpore sano and offers us by studying the texts of antiquity the first book of gymnastic.
"[...] its knowledge interests any man who professes medicine, especially since one finds in Hippocrates, Plato and Galen the affirmation repeated over and over again according to which exercises, if one wishes to lead a healthy life, provide benefits so great and so numerous that it is scarcely that the other resources of medicine provide so many. " (translation of part of book III)

"Heir to the galenic tradition, Mercuriale draws from Greek and Latin literature, but also from his contemporaries. Using both his medical knowledge and the achievements of antiquaria, he wrote the first treatise on gymnastics in our history, the 6 books of De Arte Gymnastica "(Jean-Michel Agasse," Le De arte gymnastica de Girolamo Mercuriale: archeology and body culture in the Renaissance ", doctoral thesis)

First edition of this important translation from greek to latin of the Hippocratic corpus.
Remains the reference until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The Hippocrates works are a set of sixty text written between 450 and 350 bc.
During the sixteenth century, scholars have gradually given rise to the Hippocratic Corpus in Latin, which was current until its replacement by the French edition of Littre [1839-1861].

The editions that enabled this achievement are the first editions in Latin (1525 in Rome) and Greek (1526, Aldus), which led to the discovery of manuscripts hitherto virtually unknown.
Then came the Basel editions of 1538 and 1546 (Froben) that led to the systematic correction of many first editions.
Finally, in 1595, the doctor of Metz Anuce Foes (1528-1595) printed this important bilingual edition that became the reference until the Littré works 250 years later.

Fresh copy of this rare and important edition of the works of Hippocrate.
