EYB, Albertus de. Margarita poetica, Basel: Johann Amerbach, 1495. 2° (280 x 201mm). 244 leaves, 55 lines and headline, roman letter. (Small hole in last leaf, short tear in title affecting one letter, both leaves marginally slightly defective, a little worming in the lower blank margins near the beginning, light waterstaining at beginning and end). Contemporary South German blind-stamped pigskin-backed wooden boards. (Rubbed). Provenance: the Library of the Ecclesiastical College at Oeling (18th-century ownership inscription at head of a2r).
First printed in 1472, this interesting and popular work lays down the rules for writing Latin poetry from ancient times (and giving numerous examples of classical authors), through Petrarch and up to 'modern' playwrights. The author (1420-1475) studied at Padua and, on his return to Germany, became successively canon of Bamberg, Eichstatt and Wurzburg, eventually becoming Archdeacon of the diocese of Wurzburg. From here he returned to Rome as Pius II's chamberlain. He was the author of several interesting philosophical works and also translated two of Plasutus' plays into German. HC 6825; GKW 9537; BMC III, 756; Goff E-178.
