Ascherson, bookplate; Albert Ehrman, Broxbourne Library, bookplates; W.R.H. Jeudwine, bookplate; George Abrams, bookplate. Rare edition of an early work of German Humanism. Albrecht Eyb, doctor of law, holder of many benefices in Germany and chamberlain to Pius II, compiled this anthology of humanistic rhetoric, whose title honors his mother Margarete von Wolmershausen, as a manual of humanist rhetorical theory. The text contains selected passages from classical and Italian Renaissance authors and poets - Cicero. Virgil, Ovid, Petrarch, et al., formulas for letter-writing, and general instruction in eloquence. The book remained popular for many years. This is the third Paris edition, following two editions, also of part I only, from the shop "Au Soufflet Vert". In early 1478, Ulrich Gering's association with the other Paris prototypographers Martin Crantz and Michael Friburger came to an end; in April 1478 he began printing under his name alone, using two new roman types for editions of classical, humanist, and theological texts. ISTC records only 11 surviving copies, of which at least one is imperfect, and of which only one in America (AnnMary Brown Memorial Library). This is a fine, fresh copy. Goff E-172; HC 6821; GW 9540.
