Commentarium in Valerianum Maximum
The R-Printer (Adolph Rusch), not after 1475
DIONYSIUS DE BURGO SANCTI SEPULCRI (c.1280-1342). Commentarium in Valerianum Maximum. [Strasbourg: The R-Printer (Adolph Rusch), not after 1475.]
First edition of an important humanist commentary on the essential ancient sourcebook, in a contemporary binding. Dionigi di Borgo was Petrarch’s confessor and Boccaccio’s teacher; his commentary on Valerius Maximus’s commonplace book of Latin quotations was influential on the translation and reception of that text—and no doubt introduced several generations of budding humanists to the rhetorical culture of ancient Rome. This is the state with "heremitarnm" in the incipit, from the press of Germany’s great humanist printer. HC 4103*; BMC I 63; BSB-Ink D-173; GW 8411; Bod-inc D-091; Goff D-242; ISTC id00242000.
Chancery folio (275 x 194mm). 372 leaves. Manuscript contents list on first blank. Two larger decorated initials, red and blue lombards and paragraph marks (dampstaining, browning, a few leaves spotted, some closed tears). Contemporary blindstamped calf over wooden boards, remains of paper labels on front board and spine, brass catchplates, formerly chained (rebacked preserving some of original spine, straps renewed). Provenance: marginalia – acquired from Lucien Goldschmidt, New York, 10 March 1956.
