Show moreI: First and only edition of this German (abridged) translation of Dionysius's "Contra Alchoranum", not printed until 1533. The translator, in all likelihood, was also Eppendorff. The three woodcuts on the title page show a group of Jews, Martin Luther (here captioned "Sergius the heretic"), and "Mahomet". - II: Rare first German edition of these treatises by Petrus Nannius, Juan Luis Vives, Josse de Fontanus, and Paolo Giovio. Heinrich von Eppendorff, a personal friend of Ulrich von Hutten, is known especially for his altercations with Erasmus of Rotterdam. Of particular interest is the portrait of Emperor Charles V on p. 101 (lacking in some copies). The ornamental title border shows ten portraits of emperors in medallions. - Title page of I trimmed rather closely at right edge (no loss to illustration); several ff. show slight defects or were remargined at an early date (no loss to text). Some browning and brownstaining. Main Heritage Shelves General DR485 .T73 1540 Book Item-ID: i22672382 BIB-ID: 2409396 Alchoran. Zu Strasszburg : bey Hans Schotten, MCCCCCXL [1540]. Show less

An early merchants' guide to the measurements of the Mediterranean and Near East, this pocketbook for sixteenth-century Italian traders is one of the foremost sources for the study of the metrologies of Venice and her trading partners in the early sixteenth century. It enabled conversion between Venetian currency, weights and measures and units of other Italian city-states, European neighbours and more exotic locations in the Levant, North Africa, the Near and Middle East, including Constantinople, Aleppo, Tripoli, Damascus, Cyprus, Corfu, Rhodes, and Crete. Pasi's manual is invaluable as a record of the panoply of commodities traded in the Mediterranean at the start of the sixteenth century, including pearls, silks, wool, saffron, chestnuts, figs, galangal, vegetable oils, gold and silver. On fols. 3, 11, and 12, Pasi recorded the tariffs on pearls in Damascus, Aleppo, Cairo, Alexandria, Constantinople and Venice. Most likely the famous merchant Balbi carried a copy of this classic on his travels. - First printed in Venice in 1503, and again in 1521, this 1540 edition appears to be the third and was followed by another in 1557. - An excellent clean copy in a charming French binding. Very rare: the only copy of any edition to surface at auction within the last thirty years appears to be the Honeyman copy of the 1503 edition.
