BAPTISTA Mantuanus (1448-1516). De patientia. Additions by Helias Capreolus and Johannes Taberius. Brescia: Bernardinus de Misintis, 30 May 1497.
Chancery 4° (188 x 134mm). Collation: a6 b-o8 p6 (a1r title, a1v blank, a2r address by Helias Capreolus to Johannes Taberius, a3r index, a5v author's address to the Carmelite Francescus Fantucius, a6v blank, b1r text, p6r colophon, p6v verse address by Johannes Taberius to Helias Capreolus). 116 leaves. 31 lines and headline. Type: 1:100R, 8:135G, scattered Greek. 3- to 5-line initial spaces with guide-letter. (Some light dampstaining and spotting, a few bifoli strengthened at hinge.) 17th-century dark calf, gilt edges (discreetly rebacked and restored). Provenance: early marginal annotations (slightly trimmed); stamps removed from title.
FIRST EDITION, containing one of the few 15th-century references to the new discoveries in the New World. In his treatment of the extent of the law of Christ (Bk.3, chap.11), Baptista includes 'islands inhabited by man, also much larger than ours' which were hitherto unknown to Strabo, Ptolemy, Pomponius Mela, and Pliny, but which have recently been found, due to the work of the kings of Spain. Although ostensibly a guide to meditation and patience written for the Carmelite order by the poet, philosopher and theologian who was later General of the order, the work also discusses death, disease and medical cures, as well as spiritual health. NOT IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY. Not in Sabin; GW 3304; HC(Add) *2404=2403; IGI 1189; Pellechet 1810; Polain(B) 486; Goff B-76.
