[1479]
Bible. Latin. 1479
[Biblia. Cologne: Conrad Winters, 1479]
The binding, certainly not the first one on the book,
probably dates from the early 18th century; the boards
are made using a heavy, but still flexible, binder's
board under the leather covers, which carry minimal stamping.
Gift of George Schwarz, 1843.
 [1487]
Imitatio Christi. 1487
Tractatus de ymitatione cristi Cum tractatulo
de meditatione cordis. [Ulm: Johann Zainer, 1487]
Almost certainly a contemporary binding, with the small
Paschal lamb stamp at the center of each cover. The darkening
of the leather is the result of long, heavy use. Gift
of Rev. C. Gillespie, 1891.
[1498, but probably after 1503]
Bible. Latin. 1498
[Biblia. Basel: Johann Froben and Johann
Petri, 1498]
Six volumes. Cheap work on mediocre skins
in an undistinguished style. without any idiosyncratic
stamps. The rubrication of the fourth and fifth volumes
is much more accomplished, and the rubricator has added
his date of 1503 on the title of the fifth volume.
Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
 [1506]
Augustine, Saint, Bishop of Hippo
Prima [-undecima] pars librorum divi Aurelij
Augustini . . . . [Basel: Amerbach, Petri, and Froben,
1506]
Four volumes. Bound uniformly in a "half leather" style,
the ornamentation provided by vertical rolls of small
floral devices. In the Georgetown library prior to 1836.
[1514]
Homiliarius Doctorum [Basel: Froben 1513]
[bound with] Natalibus, Petrus de, fl.
1370-1400. Catalogus sanctorum et gestorum eor_ex
diversi voluminibus collectus
. . . .[Lyons: J. Saccon, 1514]
Another early binding executed on a very poorly prepared
skin, though in this case the damaged areas are confined
largely to the top of the spine and the lower cover.
A missing center boss on the upper cover shows the original
color. Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
[1516]
New Testament. Latin and Greek. 1516
Novum instrument_omne, diligenter ab
Erasmo Roterodamo recognitum & emendatum . . .
una c_Annotationibus, quæ lectorem doceant,
quid qua ratione mutatum sit. . . .
Basel: Froben [1516]
First edition of the Erasmus New Testament,
in an almost certainly contemporary binding. The style
of the binding is quite old-fashioned, and it also
displays the remains of a (later) supplied painted
title label at the head of the spine. Rev. Thomas C.
Levins bequest, 1844.
[1519]
New Testament. Latin and Greek. 1519
Novum testamentum omne, multo quam antehac
diligentius ab Erasmo Roterodamo recognit_.
. . . Addita sunt in singulas Apostolorum epistolas
Argumenta per
Erasmum Rot. [Basel: Froben, 1519]
Second edition of the Erasmus New Testament, this copy
bound with the separately issued Annotationes. Bound
in a "half" style showing the heavy wooden
boards, a not uncommon proceeding resorted to by owners
with financial constraints. Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest,
1844.
[1522]
Augustine, Saint, bishop of Hippo
Opus absolutissimum, de Civitate dei,
magnis sudoribus emêdatum . . . . Basel [Froben]
1522.
A binding of immense strength and solidity, but virtually
without decorative interest. The brass corners and guards
have served their purpose well. One clasp missing.
 1522
Calepino, Ambrogio, 1435-1511
Dictionari_Ex optimis quibusque authoribus
studiose collect_: . . . . [Paris] Jehan
Petit [1520]
Nearly contemporary half binding, the upper cover with
the author's name at top and date 1522 at bottom;
clasps missing. Gift of Mrs. Katherine A. Bowie, 1995.
[1529]
Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, ca. 4 B.C.-65
A.D.
L. Annei Senecae opera, et ad dicendi
facultatem, et ad bene vivend_utilissima,
per Des. Erasmum Roterod. . . . Basel: In officina
Frobeniana, 1529.
This copy annotated throughout by the 16th century humanist
Simon Grynaeus. Both covers decorated with a roll incorporating
an unidentified standing figure and a drum. Clasps still
present. U. of Detroit purchase, 1985.
 [1531]
New Testament. Greek. 1531
THΣ KAINΣ ΔIAΘHKHΣ AΠANTA. Novi Testamenti
omnia. [Basel: J. Bebel, 1531]
A thoroughly typical small binding, save for the feature
of having the initials "B M" on the upper
cover, and three separate "S" initials on
the lower cover. J. G. Shea purchase, 1892.
[1535]
Erasmus, Desiderius, d. 1536
Apophthegmatum opus cum primis frugiferum
. . . . Basel: In officina Frobeniana, 1532 [bound with]
Maximus, of Tyre, 2nd cent. Sermones e graeca in latinam
linguam versi Cosmo Paccio interprete. Basel [Froben,
1519] [and] Erasmus, Desiderius, d. 1536. Ecclesiastae
sive de ratione concionandi libri quatuor . . . . Basel:
In officina Frobeniana, 1535.
The first title bears the small ownership
stamp of the Ochsenhausen library. Design of the lower
cover of this rather later binding varies somewhat
from that of the upper. Clasps missing. Rev. Thomas
C. Levins bequest, 1844.
 [1536]
Eck, Johann, 1486-1543
Homiliarius Eckii contra sectas, ab ipso
autore denuo recognitus. . . . [Ingolstadt: G. Krapf]
1536.
Three volumes bound in two. Both covers retain their
original paper labels, and both show the results of using
very poor leather for binding of this decorative complexity,
as the design work is virtually indecipherable despite
the volumes' generally good condition. With the
ownership stamp of the Ochsenhausen library. Rev. Thomas
C. Levins bequest, 1844.
[1536]
Old Testament. Hebrew. 1536
Arba'ah ve-‘esrim . . . . Basel: Froben,
1536. Both covers employ a roll very similar to that on the
1555 New Testament (q. v.), and the presence of a full
leaf-sized bookplate (for Paulus Bleindinst) dated 1560
argues a binding date rather later than earlier. Rev.
Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
[1538]
Hippocrates
IΠΠΟΚΡΑΤΟΥΣ . . . Hippocratis coi medici
vetustissimi, et omnium aliorum principis,
libri omnes, ad vetustos Codices summo
studio collati & restaurati.
Basel: Froben, 1538.
Clearly an early binding, both covers
decorated with rolls of Biblical figures, spaces left
(but not used) on the upper cover for inserting an
owner's initials and/or the date of acquisition.
But there were never any clasps, and the substance
of both covers is binder's board rather than
the usual wooden boards. In the Georgetown library
prior to 1836.
 1544
Cochlaeus, Johannes, 1479-1552
De animarum purgatorio igne epitome .
. . . Ingolstadt: Ex officina typographica
Alexandri Weissenborn, 1543 [bound with
the same author's] De canonicæ scriptur_& Catholicæ ecclesiæ autoritate.[Ingolstadt:
A. Weissenborn, 1543] [and] Philippica
sexta. Ingolstadt: A. Weissenborn, 1544
[and] Philippica quinta. Ingolstadt:
A. Weissenborn, 1544.
Both covers display the same unusual outer roll, its
figures depicted in pairs. Upper cover with initials "L
P" and the date 1544. Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest,
1844.
[1546]
Erasmus, Desiderius, d. 1536
Epistolae D. Erasmi Roterodami familiares,
in tres centurias divisæ . . . . Basel [B. Westhemer]
1546. Each cover has a central panel showing Abraham's
aborted sacrifice of his son; the upper cover also bears
the initials "H R S." Rev. Thomas C. Levins
bequest, 1844.

Novi Testamenti æditio postrema,
per Des. Erasmum Roterodamum, cum scripturæ concordantijs.

King David, and other (?) prophets. Rev. Thomas C. Levins
bequest, 1844.
1556
Selectarum declamationum, professorum
Academiæ Ienensis . . . . Strasbourg: Excudebat
Blasius Fabricius, 1554 [bound with] Conciones synodicae
statis temporibus habitæ in ecclesia Meresburgensi.
Leipzig: In officina Valentini Papæ, 1555. Upper cover dated 1556. The portion of the design which
usually shows an owner's initials has been deliberately
obscured in this case, and at a very early date. Rev.
Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
1562
Fernel, Jean, 1497-1558
Io. Fernelii Ambiani Medicina. Ad Henricum
II. Galliarum regem Christianissimum. Venice: Apud Balthassarem
Constantinum, 1555. A rather over-cleaned binding with the remains of one
of the leather ties supplied in lieu of clasps. Initials
of the owner "L P" and date 1562 on upper
board.
[1562]
Mouchy, Antoine de, d. 1574
Christianæ religionis, institutionisque Domini
nostri Iesu Christi et Apostolicæ traditionis .
. . . Paris: Apud Nicolaum Chesneau, 1562.
A quite ordinary binding in itself, but
stamped with the name of its first owner, the library
of the Minorite Convent of Saint Salvator in Ratisbon,
where the book most likely was bound. Rev. Thomas C.
Levins bequest, 1844.
[1570]
Bertachini, Giovanni, b. ca. 1448
Repertorium . . . . Venice: Apud Nicolaum
Bevilaquam, & socios, 1570. Four volumes. Upper covers with center panel of Charles

Crusius, Martin, 1526-1607
Grammaticæ Græcæ, cum Latina congruentis
. . . . Basel: Ex officina Oporiniana

instead of the usual Lucretia panel, shows
one depicting Fortuna. "Bibliotheca Heberiana" stamp
on front free endpaper.
1574
Alciati, Andrea, 1492-1550
Emblemata . . . postremo ac ultimo ab
ipso authore recognita . . . . Frankfurt [G. Corvinus]
1567. Among the most interesting of the Georgetown bindings.
The upper cover, initialled "S H S T" and
dated 1574 has a highly detailed Justitia panel itself
dated 1573; the lower cover has an equally highly detailed
Lucretia panel with the designer's, or stamp cutter's,
initials "H B" incorporated in the design.
[1575]
Fickler, Johann Baptist
Theologia iuridica, seu ius civile theologicum
. . . . Dilingen: Excudebat Sebaldus Mayer, 1575. Upper cover with a variant of the well-known "Jesuit" device,
the lower with a similar stamp depicting Mary, Queen
of Heaven. Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
[1576]
Nizzoli, Mario, 1498-1566
Nizolius sive thesaurus Ciceronianus .
. . . Basel: Ex officina Hervagiana, per Eusebium Episcopium,
1576. A very typical binding for the period, the decorations
betraying the religious affiliation of the binder: the
upper panel depicts the late Emperor Charles V, the one
on the lower cover the arms of the Holy Roman Empire.
The outer roll is quite similar to the one in the same
location on the binding of the 1538 Hippocrates (q.v.).
1579
Paradin, Claude, 16th cent.
Symbola heroica . . . . Antwerp: Ex officina
Christophori Plantini, 1567.
Upper cover with a panel showing Charles V, framed by
initials "I M O" and date 1579; lower cover
with a panel showing the Elector Augustus of Saxony,

manuscript on a blank leaf at end. Rev. Thomas C. Levins
bequest, 1844.

Gerichtsleuffte / in bürgerlichen
und peinlichen sachen . . . [Budissin:
M. Wolrab] 1573.
Half pigskin over lightweight stained vellum boards,
upper cover dated 1581. Part of the boards lacking, revealing
their interior composition of thin wood slats and printer's
waste. Donated in memory of Konrad Bekker, 1986.
1581
Speculum vitæ aulicæ
[De admirabili fallacia et astutia vulpeculæ Reinikes
libri quatuor . . . . Frankfurt: N. Basse,
1579] Upper cover with initials "A F" and date
1581 framing a Justitia panel; as usual, a similar Lucretia
panel on the lower cover. Title leaf wanting.
1582
Heshusius, Tilemann, 1527-1588
Adsertio sacrosancti testamenti Iesu Christi
contra blasphemam Calvinistarum exegesin sine authoris
nomine editam. . . . [Erfurt: E. Mechler] 1582 [bound
with 12 other works, nine of them being academic disputations,
all printed in Germany, 1578-1582] Both covers employ the same roll of Biblical scenes,
the upper cover initialled "I I S" and dated
1582. Both decorated clasps still present. Rev. Thomas
C. Levins bequest, 1844.
1584
Bartisch, Georg
ΟΦΘΑΛΜΟΔΟΥΛΕIΑ. Das ist / Augendienst.
. . . . Dresden: Matthes Stöckel, 1583.
A strictly contemporary binding, the upper cover dated
1584. Both covers use the familiar stamps of faith, charity,
and fortitude in the inmost border. Gift of Mrs. G. William
Schlindwein, 20th century.
 1595
Psalmorum Davidis paraphrasis poëtica Georgii Buchanani
Scoti: Argumentis ac melodiis explicata atque illustrata
opera & studio Nathanis Chytræi. . . . Herborn,

 Upper and lower covers with the frequently encountered
pair of panel portraits of Martin Luther and Philip Melanchthon,
the upper cover with initials "N F" and date
1595.

corruptelæ . . . . Wittenberg: Excudebat Vidua
Matthæi Welaci, 1595 [bound with] Pareus, David,

1595 [and] Huber, Samuel. Contra Jacobum Kimedoncium.
Wittenberg:
M. Welack, 1593 [and] Menz, Balthasar,
1500-1585. Elenchus errorum Antonii Sadeelis. Wittenberg:
M. Welack, 1613
[i.e., 1593] Upper cover with initials "I V V O" and

Roman Empire; lower cover with a panel with the arms

bequest, 1844.

Ribadeneira: contra calumnias cuiusdam Christiani Simonis
Lithi Miseni Calvinistæ. . . . Ingolstadt: Ex typographia
Adami Sartorii, 1599. Upper board with a Justitia panel, lower board with,
as usual, a Lucretia panel, this one dated 1562. The
age of the stamp helps to explain the indistinctness
of the blocking.
[1600]
Pineda, Juan de, 1558-1637
Commentariorum in Iob libri tredecim .
. . . Cologne: Apud Antonium Hierat, 1600. The lower board shows a third version of the roll also
seen on the 1538 Hippocrates and the 1576 Nizolius. The
upper board bears the early arms of the Bishop of Ratisbon,
in whose library the book once rested. Rev. Thomas C.
Levins bequest, 1844.
[1611]
Rader, Matthaeus
Ad M. Valerii Martialis epigrammaton libros
omnes, plenis commentariis, novo studio confectis, .
. . . Ingolstadt: Ex typographeεo Adami Sartorii, 1611. Presentation copy from the author, inscribed on the
title page to the Pole Joannis Potulicki, dated Augsburg,
1611. Both covers enhanced with central medallion stamps

missing. Gift of Mrs. Katherine A. Bowie, 1995.

sacri Palatii Romani, cum declarationibus
Concilij Tridentini . . . . Lyons: Sumptibus Petri Landry,

ex litteris annuis Societatis Iesu annorum 1609. 1610.
1611. 1612. collectus.
. . . Augsburg: Christophorum Mangium,
1615. Purchased and entered in the catalog of the Jesuit college

C. Levins bequest, 1844.
 [1617]

Hierologia, sive de sacro sermone, continens
summam atque compendium positivæ theologiæ .

[bound with] Leonardus, de Utino, 15th cent. Tractatus
mirabilis de
sanguine Christi . . . Venice: Ex typographia
Ambrosij Dei, 1617.
Purchased by Father Johannes Ecchard in 1627 for, and
entered the following year in the catalog of, the monastery
of Neustadt am Main.
Upper board with a Crucifixion panel,
lower board with a different stamp, but now so worn as
to be unidentifiable.
1617
Del Rio, Martin Antoine, 1551-1608
Disquisitionum magicarum libri sex. .
. . Mainz: Sumptibus Petri Henningii, 1617.
Upper board dated 1617. The design of both boards makes
use of the common Fides - Spes - Caritas
[faith, hope, charity] stamps.
[1618]
Becanus, Martinus, 1563-1624
De republica eccesiastica libri quatuor
. . . . Mainz: Ex officina Joannis Albini, 1618. Both boards with outer rolls featuring the virtues faith,
hope, charity, and fortitude. Upper cover with a crucifixion
panel labelled in German; lower cover with a triumph
of Christ over death panel labelled in Latin. Both clasps
still present. Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
[1619]
Becanus, Martinus, 1563-1624
Analogia veteris ac novi testamenti .
. . . Mainz: Ex officina Ioannis Albini,
1620 [bound with the same author's] De republica
ecclesiastica libri quatuor. Mainz: J. Albini, 1619. Cataloged at the Jesuit college in Bamberg in 1621.
Both covers with outer roll of four virtues (faith, hope,
charity, and fortitude). Lower cover with gilt stamp
of Mary, Queen of Heaven, upper cover with gilt "Jesuit" stamp.
These are the same as the stamps on the 1575 Fickler
(q.v.), but in a quite different decorative design. Rev.
Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
1626
Hutter, Elias, b. 1553
Dictionarium harmonicum Biblicum . .
. . Nuremberg [A. P. Theodoric] 1598
[bound with the same author's]
Index dictionarii harmonici. Nuremberg
[A. P. Theodoric] 1598. A binding with very unusual stamps, the upper cover
with a panel showing the baptism of Christ, framed by
the initials "I I H S" and the date 1626,
the lower cover with a panel showing the anointing of
Samuel. U. of Detroit purchase, 1985.
1628
Spinelli, Pietro Antonio, 1555-1615
Maria deipara thronus Dei, de virginis
beatissimæ Mariæ laudibus præclarissimis
. . . . Cologne: Apud Joannem Gymnicum,
1619. Upper cover with owner's initials ("G N
S G"), arms, and date 1628 all in gilt; lower cover
with stamp of St. George and the dragon in gilt. Both
clasps still present, but the cleanliness of the corners
betrays the relatively recent removal of metal cornerpieces.
Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest, 1844.
[1631]
Scheiner, Christoph, 1575-1650
Pantographice, seu ars delineandi res
quaslibet per parallelogrammum leneare seu cavum, mechanicum,
mobile . . . . Rome: Ex typographia Ludovici Grignani,
1631. Entered in the catalog of the Jesuit college at Olomuc
on 25 January, 1634, and very likely bound near there.
Clasps missing.
[1634]
Benavides, Alonso de, fl. 1630
Relatio quam Philippo IV. Catholico
Hispaniarum, &c. Regi, per modum
memorialis, sive Libelli supplicis .
. . . Salzburg: Typis Christophori Katzenbergeri,
1634. A typical Austrian design of the time, by great good
fortune retaining both original clasps. With the gilt
super-ex-libris of "Godefridus Dei gratia abbas
Gottwicensis" on each cover. J. G. Shea purchase,
1892.
1657
Gerhard, Johann, 1582-1637
Loci theologici, cum pro adstruenda Veritate,
tum pro destruenda quorumvis Contradicentium
Falsitate, per theses nervosè, solidè & copiosè explicati
. . . .Frankfurt and Hamburg: Sumptibus Zachariæ Hertelii,
1657. Ten tomes bound in two physical volumes, their survival
even in damaged condition a testament to the strength
of pigskin bindings generally, the more remarkable as
these are not built on solid wood boards.. Initials "P
O C" and dates (1657) on upper covers only.
[1679]
Bible. Latin. 1679
Biblia sacra Vulgatæ editionis. . . . Cologne:
Apud Jacobum Naulæum, 1679. First volume (of two) of the Old Testament. An unusually
diminutive volume to be bound in this manner.
[1679]
New Testament. Latin. 1679
Novum testamentum Domini nostri Iesu Christi.
Vulgate editionis . . . . Cologne: Apud
Jacobum Naulæum, 1679. New Testament obviously published as part of the same
set as the preceding volume, this one incorporating also
the Prayer of Manasses and the third and fourth books
of Esdras from the Apocrypha.
[1694]
Segneri, Paolo, 1624-1694
Homo Christianus in sua lege institutus.
Sive discursus morales . . . Dilingen:
Typis & sumptibus
Joannis Caspari Bencard, 1694. Three volumes bound in one. Central heating and the
course of time have distorted the shape of the binding–which
has not been at all hard-used–so that the clasps,
though still present, no longer function.
[1727]
Agricola, Ignaz, 1678-1729
Historia provinciæ Societatis Jesu Germaniæ superioris,
quinque primas annorum complexa decades. . . . Augsburg:
Sumptibus Georgii Schlüter & Martini Happach,
1727. A typical 18th century design, both covers centered
with the IHS mark often associated with the Society of
Jesus, the upper cover bearing the further stamped name
of the Jesuit college in Bamberg, which may in fact be
where the binding was done. Clasps missing, as usual.
In the Georgetown library prior to 1836.
[1727]
Hugo, Herman, 1588-1629
Pia desideria tribus libris comprehensa
. . . . Eisenach: Typis & sumtibus
Ioannis Adolphi Boetii, 1727. "I H S" monogram centered on upper cover,
a similar initialism for Mary on the lower cover. In
the Georgetown library prior to 1836.
[1737]
Antiphonale Cisterciense, juxta ordinis
breviarium dispositum. . . . Nova editio, prior longe
accuratior. . . . Paris: Excudebat Petrus-Joannes Mariette,
Cisterciensis Ordinis Monotypographus, 1737. A binding undoubtedly executed for the choir of an active
monastery. The typically decorative 18th century covers
are enhanced by heavy brass corners of the Evangelists,
center bosses of Christ, and clasps of grotesques, all
on a heroic scale. U. of Detroit purchase, 1985.
 [1747]
Grueber, Rupert, 18th cent.
De privilegiis religiosorum opus posthumum
D. Ruperti Grueber . . . Augsburg and
Würzburg:
Sumptibus Martini Veith, 1747.
 Inscribed by its purchaser on the front pastedown "for
the use of the fathers" in the community of the
Canonicis Gradicensis in 1748. Quite possibly bound in
the community, as the lower board bears a gilt stamp
with the initials C G. Upper board has the arms, also
in gilt, of an as yet unidentified bishop. Title (with
wrong author's name) in gilt on the spine.
[1758]
Weitenauer, Ignaz, 1709-1783
Lexicon Biblicum, in quo explicantur Vulgatæ vocabula
et phrases . . . . Augsburg and Freiburg
in Breisgau: Sumptibus Fratrum Ignatii & Antonii
Wagner, 1758. A very late example of the pigskin binding process,
in a very simple style and from a design standpoint of
virtually no interest. Rev. Thomas C. Levins bequest,
1844.
[1768]
Sandini, Antonio, 1692-1730
Disputationes historicæ ad vitas pontificum Romanorum
. . . . Ferrara: Impensis Jo: Manfrè, 1755 [bound
with the same author's] Disputationes historicæ ad
vitas pontificum Romanorum. Venice: Balleoni,
1768.
Another anemic production from the last years of this
style of binding, vivified by colorful staining of the
leaf edges. The 1768 title, apparently an exact reprint
of the 1755 edition bound first, is the most recent publication
at Georgetown in this binding style. Rev. Thomas C. Levins
bequest, 1844.
