A beautiful and rare incunable-edition of Martial's Epigrams, being the seventh edition containing Domizio Calderini's (1446-1478) highly important commentary. With no known ancient or Medieval commentaries on Martial's work, Calderini's commentary, first printed in 1474 by Jacobus Rubeus in Venice, constitutes the earliest commentary on the Epigrams. In addition to the present work, Calderini produced extensive commentaries on the works of Vergil, Propertius, Juvenal and Statius, making him one of the most prolific humanist commentators on Latin poetry. Although Martial, in his own words, was known all over the world in antiquity, the interest in his poetry decreased significantly in the Middle Ages, perhaps as a result of the pronounced obscenity that characterises his poetry. However, things took a turn in the 15th century, and Calderini's commentary may well be considered one of the earliest scholarly treatments of the Epigrams. Containing the earliest reference to the codex as a format used for literature, Martial's Epigrams have played an immensely important role in the history of the book. With roughly one in eight of the epigrams concerned with books and reading, no work of classical literature gives a better insight into ancient book culture. ISTC im00308000; Hain *10819.

Rare first edition of the most celebrated Portuguese treatise on calligraphy. Joaquim José Ventura da Silva (1777–1849), regarded as one of Portugal's finest calligraphers and teachers of writing, composed this methodological guide to handwriting in which he combines a historical survey of scripts used in Portugal with practical instruction for teaching and learning penmanship.Ventura da Silva is reffered to by Innocencio (Diccionario Bibliographico) as "one of the best Portuguese Calligraphers". A second edition was published in 1819, a third in 1841, and a facsimile was published in Porto in 1899.

Kjøbenhavn, Seidelin, 1829 & 1833. 8vo. Three parts in two volumes, both in the original green paper covered boards. With author's presentation to Danish Professor in Low F. C. Bornemann in both volumes. Wear to spines and scratches to boards. Internally very nice and clean, printed on good paper. (2), 182 pp.; 134 pp. Presentation copy of the rare first edition of P. G. Bang’s seminal work, Udvikling af Læren om Interessentskab og de samme nærmest vedkommende Retsforhold – the very first Danish treatment of the subject, and a milestone in Scandinavian legal history. This pioneering study is regarded as the first jurisprudential exposition of corporate law in Denmark anticipating later systematic treatments of partnership and company legislation. His work established a legal-theoretical foundation for the understanding of partnership agreements, shareholders’ relations and the broader legal framework governing commercial associations. The copy was given by Bang to F.C. Bornemann, a Danish legal professor at the University of Copenhagen from 1840 to 1861, primarily known for applying philosophical methods to legal science. He was influenced by contemporary German philosophers, notably Hegel, in his work on legal philosophy. Peter Georg Bang (1797 – 1861) was a Danish politician and jurist. He served as the Prime Minister of Denmark 1854–1856
