‎Summary Until now, scholars have had an inadequate picture of the scope and transmission of the oeuvre of Ludwig Senfl (c.1490-1543), one of the most important Renaissance composers of the German-speaking lands. The current publication presents an extraordinary and exceptionally comprehensive catalogue raisonn for this Renaissance composer. Volume 1 of the two-volume set forms the catalogue of works (including lost and misattributed compositions). It is organized according to genre and provides a thorough description of every composition. Each entry includes a musical incipit, comments on the musical structure, and comprehensive information concerning the transmission and the authenticity of the composition in addition to many other details. In its layout, structure, and critical approach to Senfl's music, this volume enables far-reaching research into the composer's style as well as a detailed characterisation of his oeuvre, and thus it provides clues towards a long-desired chronology of the composer's works. The Senfl Catalogue serves as an encyclopaedic research tool for further scholarly investigation: it not only presents a lively and coherent picture of Senfl's oeuvre, but also helps to explore the broader musical culture of his time. At the same time, the in-depth presentation and analysis of Senfl's music provides Early Music performers with new information on repertory that adds to the soundscape of the Renaissance.

‎Volume 7 - containing Cymbeline, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Othello - of the extremely rare first Irish edition of Shakespeare's works, which appeared in 8 volumes in all, the 8th being a supplementary volume by Dr. Sewell. This 7th volume is arguably the most sought-after of the volumes, as it includes not only Hamlet, but also Romeo and Juliet as well as Othello and will thus also have been saleable and collectable on its own. This copy of vol. 7 was bought by the great Danish Golden Age author Jens Baggesen (1764-1626) on his travel to London in 1802 and bears his inscription ""London, April 13th"" and signature to the front free end-paper. ""Jens Baggesen, in full Jens Immanuel Baggesen, leading Danish literary figure in the transitional period between Neoclassicism and Romanticism.In 1782 Baggesen went to Copenhagen to study theology. Three years later, at age 21, he had an unprecedented success in Denmark with his first collection of poems, Comiske fortællinger (1785"" ""Comical Tales""). Later, after his libretto to the first major Danish opera, Holger Danske (1789"" ""Ogier the Dane,"" music by Friedrich Kunzen), received adverse criticism (mainly because of its supposed lack of nationalism), Baggesen traveled through Germany, Switzerland, and France. The journey became the basis of his most important book, the imaginative prose work Labyrinten (1792-93"" ""The Labyrinth""), a ""sentimental journey"" reminiscent of the work of the 18th-century English novelist Laurence Sterne. Baggesen was variously a Germanophile, a great admirer of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, an ardent supporter of the French Revolution, a disciple of Immanuel Kant, and a Romanticist and early admirer of Denmark's foremost Romantic poet, Adam Oehlenschläger. Later in life he vigorously opposed Romanticism, carrying on a seven-year feud with Oehlenschläger.A perennial traveler, attracted to existential harmony but always torn between material and spiritual values, Baggesen found himself at home everywhere and nowhere. His restless existence was tempered only by his sense of humour and absurdity. He has been called a European spirit who ""held a passport to the whole world except his own heart""."" (Encycl. Britt.). It was in December 1800 that Baggesen moved from Denmark and settled down in Paris. He was not happy and he was not healthy. In late March 1802, he went to London, where he wrote the famous line """"Dover! Shakespear! Oh Ocean! Oh Mountains! I am thrilled!"" (""Dover! Shakespear! O Hav! O Bjerge! Jeg er henrykt!"")- and it was here, on April 13th, that he acquired the present volume of Shakespeare's works, containing the greatest of the author's plays.The eight volumes of this first Irish edition of Shakespeare's works was published by George Grierson and George Ewing and constitutes a piracy reprint of Pope's 6-volume 4to edition of 1725, including also the Index of the Characters, Sentiments, Speeches and Descriptions, which is present here in volume 7. The edition is very scarce and only few libraries world-wide have a copy in their holdings.Not in Lowndes‎

‎Latin Ptolemaic Writings on Astronomy and Astrology up to AD 1700 A Comprehensive Survey of the Works, Manuscripts and Early Printed Editions‎

‎, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, 2 vols, 1000 p., 178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:32 col., 2 tables b/w., Language(s):English. *New . ISBN 9782503607153.‎

‎Throughout the Middles Ages and the early modern period, Ptolemy (Claudius Ptolemaeus, c. 100-170 A.D.) was considered the foremost authority in mathematical astronomy and in astrology in all societies that inherited Greek learning, including the Islamic world and Latin Europe. The history of the Ptolemaic tradition in these civilisations, however, has never been systematically researched. This book offers the first complete treatment for the Latin world. It includes a full survey of the Ptolemaic works (original works in translation, pseudepigrapha and commentaries), together with a catalogue of 693 manuscripts and 104 early printed editions (up to 1700 A.D.) of these works. This essential volume contains nothing less than the ultimate bibliographical and codicological survey of the entire Latin Ptolemaic tradition on astronomy and astrology up to AD 1700, in all its sprawling and oftentimes surprising detail. The end result is a monument of unrivalled erudition that breaks new ground on a page-by-page basis. It effectively puts contemporary research on the history of astronomy and astrology on a completely new foundation and is destined to remain the go-to resource in this area for many decades, if not centuries, to come (C. Philipp E. Nothaft)‎
