De Urbibus
Première édition latine du traité d’architecture d’Albrecht Dürer conservé dans son vélin de l’époque. In-folio. Plein vélin de l’époque. 330 x 225 mm. Dürer, Albrecht. De Urbibus, Arcibus, Castellis, Condendis, ac muniendis rationes aliquot, praesenti bellorum necessitati accommodatissimae ; nunc recens e lingua Germanica in Latinam traductae. Parisiis, Ex Officina Christiani Wechelii sub scuto Basiliensi, 1535. Première originale latine. Bohatta 16a ; Meder pages 287-288 ; Adams D-1056 ; Mortimer 184 ; Shaaber 319. Elle se compose de 40 feuillets (10 dépliants) ornés de plusieurs initiales gravées sur cuivre et 21 gravures sur bois à pleine, voire à double page et de la marque de Wechel sur le titre et dernier feuillet. « Christian Wechel fit connaître en France, par des traductions latines ornées de bonnes figures, les ouvrages qu’Albert Dürer avait écrits en allemand pour l’instruction des artistes. En 1352 et 1353, il publia en in-folio une version latine de la Géométrie de l’illustre maître, Underweisung der Messung, et en 1353 l’architecture, Etliche Underricht, etc., sous ce titre : De Urbibus, arcibus, castellisque, in-fol. » (A. F. Didot). La première édition allemande fut imprimée à Nuremberg en 1527, une année avant la mort de Dürer. Joachim Camerarius (1500-1574), humaniste allemand, né à Bamberg, traduisit l’édition allemande en langue latine. Ce livre d’architecture de Dürer est célèbre pour ses gravures sur bois. “It contains some of Dürer’s chief architectural works” (DNB). “The art of designing fortifications had always been an integral part of architectural theory going back to Vitrivius himself, who wad a military architect serving both under Julius Caesar and Augustus. The theme was revived during the Renaissance and figured prominently in the treatises of many Italian theorists, such as Alberti, Filarete, Francesco di Giorgio… THE FIRST RENAISSANCE TREATISE DEVOTED EXCLUSIVELY TO FORTIFICATIONS, however, was written by a Northerner. Dürer’s Etliche Underricht… Dürer’s work had been prompted by Ottoman incursion into Europe and by the recent revolution in artillery warfare brought about by cannons fired by gun-powder and the use of iron cannon-balls…” (Millard III, North European Books, page 22, without describing a copy). “Urban circuits with semi-circular elements in the protruding corners and other different fortifications are found in the treatise of Dürer… The bastions built according to the Dürerian model have been considered to be impossible to build due to their huge dimensions and costs. Their static structure induces however to think that Dürer had gathered a remarkable experience as a builder. Even though some authors have seen in him Flemisch influences he appears more influenced by Francesco Di Giorgio and Leonardo. The fortifications of the Addizione Erculea in Ferrera could have been especially influenced Dürer, who has watched them most probably during his second trip to Italy during the years 1505-1507. In this second trip he went to Bologna to learn “secret perspective”, i.e. the geometrical rules which constitute the basis of the art of fortification. He may have met Leonardo during this last trip, and this would explain some Leonardesque character of the parapets of his bastions. Also some influence of Fra Giocondo is visible… The system of Dürer for the defense of towns are extremely rigorous from a geometrical point of view…” (A. Fara, La città da Guerra (Military Towns), Torino, 1993, pages 41-45, translated and adapted). Exemplaire à marges immenses (hauteur : 330 mm), de toute pureté, conservé dans son authentique reliure en vélin de l'époque.

Title page yellowing) (Note: The Greek grammarian Stephanus Byzantinus, who lived at Constantinople after the time of the Roman emperors Honorius and Arcadius (end 4th century), is the author of a well-known geographic lexicon, called 'Ethnika', of which work we only possess an epitome (kat' epitomên). The 'Ethnika', which is lost, consisted of between 50 and 60 books, and listed in alphabetical order place-names, with the adjectives derived from them. It offered information on foundation legends, etymologies, historical anecdotes, proverbs etc. The lexicon was epitomized ca. 530 A.D. by a certain Hermolaus, who dedicated his abridgement to the emperor Justinian. Stephanus Byzantinus was originally interested not so much in geography or history, but in grammar and etymology, i.e. the correct formation of ethnic adjectives derived from the names of places, islands, regions and countries in the ancient world. Stephanus Byzantinus' sources were Herodianus, Dionysius Periegetes, Strabo, Hecataeus, Pausanias, Polybius, and many other now lost grammarians and historians. The value of this compilation lies in the preservation of material from works otherwise lost. The title of the 'Ethnika' has been a matter of dispute ever since the Aldine 'editio princeps' of 1502, where it is entitled 'Peri Poleôn'. The Florentine Iunta edition of 1521 went 'Peri Poleôn kai Dêmôn', or 'de Urbibus et Populis', with which title Berkelius also headed his text. (p.1) Thomas de Pinedo, a Spanish Jew, 1614-1679, who was obliged to leave his native country and seek a refuge in Amsterdam from inquisitorial persecution, was the first to add a Latin translation to an edition of 'De Urbibus' (Amsterdam 1678). This edition of 1688 was edited by the Dutch scholar Abraham Berkelius (in Dutch Van Berckel or Van Berkel), together with his commentary and Latin translation. He adopted collations made by the French scholar Claudius Salmasius, 1588-1653, from manuscripts of the 'Bibliotheca Palatina' during his stay at Heidelberg, and notes and 'various readings' collected by the Dutch professor of Greek Jacobus Gronovius, 1645-1716, from the 'Codex Perusinus'. Berkelius, 1639/40-1686, studied Greek under Gronovius, and was appointed Rector of the 'Schola Latina' at Delft. Stephanus Byzantinus was not new to Berkelius. He had published earlier at the same publisher, Van Gaesbeek, in 1674 an edition that contained fragments of Stephanus Byzantinus' 'Ethnika', the 'Genuina Stephani Byzantini de Urbibus et Populis fragmenta', a small work of 25 pages. The involvement in the edition of 1688 of his master Gronovius also does not come as a surprise, for he published for Van Gaesbeek in 1681 a fragment of Stephanus Byzantinus on the Greek oracle at Dodona, with 3 Latin translations and a commentary) (Collation: Part 1: a4, b-c2, d1; A-5D4, 5E2; 6A2-6D2.

Summary Le Bref trait de quelques villes orientales, de la religion et des m?urs de leurs indig nes de Gabriel Sionite et Jean Hesronite s'inscrit parmi les anthropologies orientalistes du XVIIe si cle. Jibr?'?l al-?ahy?n? et Y??ann? al-?a?r?n?, natifs respectivement d'Ehden et de ?a?r?n, sont deux savants maronites du Liban qui ont suivi leur formation au Coll ge Maronite de Rome, lequel venait d' tre fond par les soins et gr ce la bienveillance du pape Gr goire XIII. Plus tard, devenus interpr tes du roi Louis XIII, ils lisent quelques villes orientales dont ils proposent un tractatus brevis, genre de descriptif bross au go t de l'Europe de l' poque. Sans tre r cit savant, le Bref trait de quelques villes orientales se pr sente tel le journal de la visite fictive des grandes villes du Moyen-Orient, Tripoli, Alep et le Caire par exemple, dont Sionite et Hesronite esquissent une rapide prosopographie historique, d crivent les us et coutumes avant d'exposer quelques-uns de leurs illustres hommes. Les deux auteurs semblent m me emprunter aux sources populaires, osant un amalgame d'histoire s rieuse et de tradition orale, presque une narration de foule, dont l'int r t cependant est de r fl chir l'Humanisme renaissant de l' poque, nourri de rigorisme religieux, toutefois curieux de r explorer l'Outre-Mer. Le Bref trait prouve en d finitive que les deux auteurs avaient exploit des manuscrits sans en avoir v rifi le contenu scientifique. Quant notre int r t, il r side dans notre sinc re intention de red couvrir la beaut des sources chr tiennes orientales, pr cis ment de la litt rature maronite d'expression latine.
