      Gesner, Epitome bibliothecae, Zurich, 1555, contemporary half pigskin, from the library of Kaspar Melisander

      Est: $5,000 - $7,000

      Gesner, Conrad. Epitome Bibliothecae Conradi Gesneri, conscripta primum à Conrado Lycosthene Rubeaquensi; nunc denuo recognita & plus quàm bis mille authorum accessione (qui omnes asterisco signati sunt) locupletata: per Josiam Simlerum Tigurinum. Zurich: Christoph I Froschauer, 1555. Bound with: Johann Funck, Chronologia hoc est. Omnium temporum et annorum ab initio mundi usque ad resurrectionem domini nostri Jesu Christi, computatio … Item commentariorum liber unus. Autore Ioanne Funccio Noribergensi. Nuremberg: Georg Wachter for Cyriacus Jacob [of Frankfurt am Main], 1545 The Epitome Bibliothecae Conradi Gesneri is a reworking by Josias Simler (1530–1576) of Gesner’s Appendix bibliothecae Conradi Gesneri (1555), in which Gesner added some 2,000 writers to the 5,000 he had listed in the Bibliotheca universalis (1545). Encouraged and assisted by Gesner, Simler began work even before the Appendix was printed, collecting biographical material, and making analyses of content, and the Epitome and the Appendix were published by Froschauer just months apart. Simler dedicates the edition to Ottheinrich von der Pfalz (1502-1559). He follows Gesner in organizing the entries by the first name of the author and in providing an index of last names to first names. The Epitome went through two subsequent editions, one edited by Simler himself in 1574, the other edited by Jacob Fries in 1583. Bound second in the volume is a work by the Lutheran astronomer and theologian Johann Funck (1518–1566), presenting his computations about when the world had begun, the ages of the patriarchs, the duration of the biblical Flood, ancient Greek political history, and many similar matters. Funck studied with Melanchthon at Wittenberg, became the son-in-law of Andreas Osiander, was drawn into an intrigue at the Mecklenburg court, condemned, and executed on the market square of Kneiphof (Knipawa), Königsberg. His work went through five editions by 1600 (on Funck, see Grafton, Joseph Scaliger: A Study in the History of Classical Scholarship, II: Historical Chronology [Oxford, 1993], pp. 126–129). The first known owner of this copy is the Lutheran theologian and hymn-writer Kaspar Bienemann (Melissander; 1540–1591), whose ownership inscription dated January 1566 at Lauingen is on the front pastedown. Born in Nuremberg, Bienemann studied at Leipzig with Joachim Camerarius, matriculated at Jena (1560; DD 1571), where he attended lectures by the Lutheran theologians Simon Musäus and Matthias Flacius Illyricus, then at Tübingen (1563), where he studied theology with Jacobus Schegkius and Greek with Martin Crusius. He was still in Tübingen on 10 March 1564, when he signed the album amicorum of Caspar Held, a fellow student in theology. On the evidence of the inscription in this volume, by January 1566 he had arrived in Lauingen, Bavaria, where for a short time he held a professorship at the Fürstliche Schule. No other books from his library have been traced. The binding is decorated by two indeterminable rolls, a Palmettenfries, and half-figure Fides-Justitia-Caritas-Spes roll. The vellum fragment on the upper cover of the binding is a leaf from the Missale Augustanum, published by Johann Sensenschmidt, at Dillingen, 10 January 1489 (GW M24229), f. XX ([c9]), displaying verso. The lower cover is composed of another leaf from the same work f. XI ([b10]), displaying verso.  Folio (322 x 204mm). (I) Italic types with roman, 63 lines (mostly double column). collation: *6 a–z6 A–K6: 204 leaves (K6 blank). Woodcut Froschauer device on title-page. (II) Roman type, 42 lines, collation: A–B6 [fleur de lys]6 A–K6 L8 a–e6 f–g4: 124 leaves (L8 blank). Some printing in red, some manuscript underlining in red.
