Antwerp: Ex Officina Plantiniana, Apud Ioannem Moretum, 1610
12mo. (135 x 88 mm.). Woodcut printer’s device to title. A little browned, occasional minor marginal dampstaining to first gathering and quire I, a little light occasional spotting. CONTEMPORARY BLINDTOOLED PIGSKIN BINDING with monogram ‘E.S.’ [for Ernest Scherz] and dated 1613. Traces of gilding to letters and numbers, the central blindtooled panel within a triple-ruled frame, traces of original ties. Corners bumped, a little rubbed and scuffed, but overall still an attractive binding. A good to very good copy in an attractive contemporary binding. Contemporary ink ownership inscription in red to bottom of title ‘Sum exlibris Ernesti Scherz’, partially erased. This is presumably the ‘E.S.’ of the monogrammed upper cover and therefore the original owner, for whom the book was bound three years after its publication; ‘Ad conventum Rattenberge’, near-contemporary ink ownership inscription to title; ‘F. Bernardi; ?’ 17th century ink ownership inscription to upper pastedown.
SAINT BONAVENTURE IN A STRICTLY CONTEMPORARY DATED PIGSKIN BINDING FOR A NAMED 17TH CENTURY OWNER. Printed by Jan Moretus at the Plantin press, this work was published in the last year of Moretus’ life, before his wife took over the Press. Moretus had inherited the business from his father-in-law, for whom he had begun working at the age of 14 in Venice.
Bonaventure was a 13th-century Italian theologian and head of the Franciscan Order. Made a Cardinal, and later canonized, he tried to integrate in his thinking faith and reason. This is the third edition (following those of 1597 and 1600), prepared with the co-operation of Henricus Sedulius. Sedulius was the Latinized name of the Franciscan scholar Henri de Vroom van Klief; he and Moretus had worked together on a life of Saint Bonaventure. The volume includes the Speculum Disciplinae ad Novitios, and the De Profectu Religiosorum, among others. The Speculum Disciplinae is now attributed to Bernardus de Bessa.
Scarce. One copy only on WorldCat. Not in Brunet; cf. Dirk Imhoff, Jan Moretus and the Continuation of the Plantin Press: a bibliography of the works published and printed by Jan Moretus I in Antwerp (1589-1610), B50.
