Medicine Incunabula
INCUNÁBULO DE MEDICINA.- [KETHAM, Johannes de].- EPILOGO EN MEDICINA Y CI | RUGIA CONBENIE[N]TE ALA SALUD [Fasciculus medicinae] .- Burgos: Juan de Burgos, 1495.- LXVIII f.: il.; 31 cm.- B. Exemplary work (incomplete) of one of the two editions published in Spain in 1495 of what is considered the first work of illustrated Medicine, originally printed in Venice, in 1491. Traditionally attributed to the German Johannes de Ketham, of whom one knows only that he practiced medicine in Vienna in the second half of the 15th century, the edition consists of a collection of texts by several authors, including the Portuguese physician Vasco de Taranta (active Between 1383 and 1418), who wrote about the plague, and also the Scottish Michael SCOTUS (ca. 1175-1232), mathematician and translator of Averrois. Interestingly, it does not include any text from Johannes Ketham himself. Entirely composed of two-column Gothic characters, the volume opens with a page in which the centre apears the engraved title on the stippled bottom (cribblé); On the back a “Tabula primera de la urinas “ (first illustration), followed by the prologue (F. a2r to a4r.), illustrated with a large initial vignette. The nine texts or treaties deal with very diversified themes, namely, “de las urine (I) “, “de la flebotomia o sangrias (II) “, “de los XII signos (III) “, “de las dolencias de las mugeres (IV) “, de la cirugia de las llagas & unguentos, de todas las dolencias & enfermedades (VI)”, “de la peste (VII)”, “de la phisionomia (VIII)” e “de la generacion o formacion de la criatura (IX)”. The volume, loose in binding and very handled, has numerous imperfections and flaws, the most serious being the following: Four leaves are missing: xxvi, XXVII, xxviii and XXIX; first leaf is very handled, with numerous notes of the time on the front and loss of support, partially affecting the engraving of the back; The two main illustrations (double leaf inserts): XIIII and XXV (female and male anatomies respectively) with loss of the upper half; Two leaves (XVII and XXXXII) with severe loss of support and text; Outer margin of the first 30 leaves are gnawed, without prejudice to the text; Other defects of difficult discrimination. Apart the great vignette of the prologue and the “Tabula de las urinas“ (back of the first leaf), still retains two illustrations of full page: On the back of Leaf XI and back of the leaf xxxii. Body of the book wrapped in modern protective alkaline card case. Goff, K18; 246 Haebler. Pellechet, 4585. Incunables en libraries Españolas, 3410.

FREI MANUEL DE NISA - †1654
Manuscrito
MANUSCRITO.- NISA, Frei Manuel de, O.F.M., Cap.- Chronica da Provincia da Piedade.- Século XVII.- 307 f.; 30 cm. Six hundred copy of the work of the Franciscan friar Manuel de Nisa († 1654), chronicler of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, which never was published. That task was taken by Friar Manuel de Monforte († 1711), who in 1696 publishes his first edition. According to the author himself says in the prologue "to the Reader" (in the 1751 edition): It was worth a lot that in this particular two religious of this province had already worked, Friar António de Sinde and Fiari Manuel de Niza, to which first was delivered this task, even though none of them came to see the light of the print. However, according to Barbosa Machado (III, p. 322, ed. Atântida): The original is preserved in the convent of Saint Anthony, outside the walls of the city of Évora. A copy of it was extracted by the antique dealer Manuel Severim de Faria that existed in his select bookstore. Interestingly, the present Codex, loose in binding and with some foxing, but perfectly legible, presents an interesting handwritten note, of the time, in the upper right corner on the initial leaf: Podesse encadernar | Év[o]ra, 26 de março de 1661(?). | M[anu]el de Mag[alhã]es de Men[es]es. Without cover page, from the first page we transcribe the respective title: Livro primeiro da Chronica da Provincia da Piedade, seus principios, successos, e grandes trabalhos, q[ue] tiveram os primeiros Religiosos della, q[ue] padecerão ateh achegarem ao estado de Provincia. In the end, it includes four index leaves, lacking the first leaf, finding the remaining very badly treated (the latter with severe faults). However, the text is apparently complete.

Luz da liberal e nobre arte de cavallaria
ANDRADE, Manuel Carlos de.- Luz da liberal e nobre arte de cavallaria.- Lisboa: na Regia Officina Typografica, 1790.- XXVI, 454, [1, 1 br.] p.: 93 gravuras, 1 retrato; 35 cm.- E. Complete copy (includes the rare final leaf of errata) and with good margins, one of the most beautiful books printed in Portugal in the 18th century, and surely one of the most sought after. Inocêncio states that some intended to attribute the work to the Marquis of Marialva, but this was not confirmed up today. The 93 engravings, of which 22 leaflets, represent above all attitudes of the horse in teaching and are opened in copper plate by several engravers, especially Luís Fróis, but also Manuel Alegre, Luís Fernandez Piedra and others, according to the originals by Joaquim Carneiro da Silva (Ernesto Soares, History, 1076). Plate 76 (p. 390) presents a curious subscription: Silva del.-H. Queverdo Aqua Forti et terminé par J. J. Droüet 1792 (engravers not referred to by E. Soares). The Prince Regent, future king D. João VI of Portugal, is represented on engravings 21, 29, 53 and 59 (E. Soares and Ferreira Lima, Dictionary of Iconography, 1549 B). Allusive vignettes at the beginning of books I and VI. Copy with large stain on the second flyleaf (blank) that passed to the back (blank) of the portrait, slightly transparing to the engraved surface. Ownership manuscript of the time, on the cover page: A. Ribeiro. On the other, a clean specimen, preserving all the engravings well placed and folded. Full sheepskin 19th century binding with mottled patine, with minor damage to the head of the spine. Inocêncio, V, 386. Ameal, 108. Ferrão Castelo Branco, 35.
