Description:
Paris: F. Muguet, 1678. Contemporary calf (repaired), spine and title gilt, edges sprinkled red and brown. Only Edition of the first work on the administration of Parisian lower schools. TEN CHAPTERS DEAL WITH THE EDUCATION OF GIRLS AND THE PRIVATE TEACHING OF CALLIGRAPHY, the latter both widespread and prohibited. The first part presents the history of education in the ancient world and in France before the High Middle Ages. The second concerns the rise of the University and its Faculties. The third confirms the Cantor of Notre Dame as the Paris system's chief administrator since the 8th century. Appointed Cantor in 1672, Joly compiled demographic, topographic, social, pedagogic and legal data to counter the Arts Faculty's usurpation attempts. I have been looking for this book since 1985. A good copy (thin worm trail not affecting legibility), engraved bookplate of French royal historian Denis II Godefroy (1615-81). ¶Bourgeois & André, Sources de l'histoire de France 6939; Dufour,… Read More

Description:
Venice: Giovanni Tacuino de Tridino, 1498. FINE UNSHADED TITLE WOODCUT of the four commentators at desks with their names above, white-line historiated and floriated woodcut initials, a white-line woodcut Tacuino device on the penultimate verso. CONTEMPORARY CALF-BACKED WOODEN BOARDS (worn and partly defective), remnants of two catches, two repoussé brass scallop shell clasps. These witty and cruel satires deride decadence in all its forms - prostitution, marital infidelity, extravagant banquets, cannibalism, sodomy, hypocrisy, waste.... The Renaissance took them as literary models and as a storehouse of quotations.    This is the first printing to combine the 15th-century prefatory matter and commentaries of papal secretary Dom. Calderini, teacher and poet Ant. Mancinelli, press corrector and book hunter Giorgio Merula and science writer and bibliophile Giorgio Valla. Their notes surround the text on three sides.    When the title woodcut first appeared in 1494/5, Juvenal held the cathedra… Read More
