This is a Poem on the siege of Nancy in 1477, when the Duke of Burgundy was killed. It was printed in a village near Nancy.

Dr. Cotton asserts that only this single Work was ever printed at St. Nicolas du Port, bt this is an error, as the same printer is known to have printed the Horæ ad Usum Fullensis Ecclesiæ at this place as early as 1503.

This volume is extremely rare, and very curious. It is ornamented with many woodcuts by Jacobus, executed in a spirited style, which represent the various events of the war of Lorraine. Some Bibliographers have mentioned an edition of 1476, but no such edition ever existed: the error has arisen from the manner in which that date is introduced at the close of the Poem.

5737 CALILA-WA-DIMNA. DIRECTORIUM HUMANE VITE alias Parabolæ antiquorum Sapientum (Johanne de Capua interprete) folio, with about 100 exceedingly curious and spirited woodcuts, fine copy in green morocco extra, gilt edges, VERY RARE, £10. 10s s. l. & a., sed circa 1480

A book of great rarity and curiosity, universally known as the Fables of Pilpay, a collection of Tales written originally in Sanscrit by Vishnu-Sarma, under the title of " Pantcha-Tantra."-No collection of Tales enjoys a higher reputation in the East, translations having been made into almost every one of its dialects. In Europe its reputation has been equally great, and the innumerable versions into almost every language bear witness to its popularity. This Latin version was made from the Hebrew by John of Capua (a baptized Jew) who tells us," Hic est liber parabolarum antiquorum sapientum nationum mundi. Et vocatur liber kelile et dimne et prius quidum in lingua fuerat indorum translatus. Inde in linguam translatus persarum. Postea verc reduxerunt illum arabes in linguam suam, ultimo ex inde ad linguam fuit redactus hebraicam. Nunc autem nostri propositi est ipsum in linguam fundare latinam. Est autem liber delectabilis, etc." This version from the Hebrew is the parent of nearly all the Translations into the languages of Europe. Sir William Jones was one of the first to point out the name of the real author, and thus expressed his admiration of his work: "The Fables of Vishnu-Sarman, whom we ridiculously call Pilpay, are the most beautiful, if not the most ancient in the world."

Priced 1837, Payne and Foss, £14. 14s; 1842, Thorpe, £10. 10s; White Knight's copy sold for £21. 198; Sir Mark Sykes's, £31. 10s; Hibbert's, £8. 15s. This is the edition described by Brunet (see Bedpai) as having in the running title" capitulum secundum," etc.

"No collection of tales enjoys a greater reputation in the East. Sir William Jones, in his Discourses on the Hindoos, thus expresses his admiration of them, and points out the real name of the author. The Fables of Vishnusarman, whom we ridiculously call Pilpay, are the most beautiful, if not the most ancient in the world." This Latin version was made by John de Capua, from the Hebrew, and is the parent of all the European translations. See Ellis's Metrical Romances.

This translation was made by Joannes de Capua about the year 1262. In vol. 6, page 460 of the Bibliotheca Græca of Fabricius, is an account of the various Versions and Interpretations of this "Liber jucundus et utilis lectu, refertusque Fabulis lepide et ingeniose excogitatis, quibus malitia, fraudes et stultitia hominum in vita communi, et in aulis frequens ad vivum depingitur.

There are 237 large cuts in this fine work; 92 contain Burgmair's mark, H. B., and one that of Schaeuffelein; they are executed in a very bold manner, all those which contain the mark of Hans Burgmair show a decided superiority in point of engraving.

This work is supposed to have been dictated by the Emperor Maximilian himself to his private Secretary Treitzsaurwein; the Manuscript, after lying for nearly three centuries in the Archives, was at last published, but very few copies printed.

"Le livre étrange auquel nous avons emprunté la gravure et les lignes qui précèdent a été commencé en 1512 par l'empereur Maximilien lui-même, et terminé d'après son ordre, en 1514, par Marx Treitzsaurwein, l'un de ses secrétaires. L'ouvrage entier est resté inédit pendant près de trois siècles. Georges-Christophe van Schallenberg avait découvert, le premier, pendant son sejour à Vienne (1631) quelques-unes des gravures sur bois du Weiss Kunig, avec une note autographe de Maximilien; il entreprit de les publier en les complétant, mais il mourut laissant son travail inachevé. Plus tard on découvrit d'autres planches à Graez en Styrie, et on les porta à la bibliothèque impériale de Vienne, où était déjà le manuscrit de Treitzsaurwein. Enfin on publie en 1775 le texte avec les gravures sur bois, dont les planches avaient été rassemblées à grand'peine au nombre de 237. La bibliothèque impériale de Vienne possède de plus 13 gravures dont les planches n'ont pas été retrouvées. L'objet du livre est l'histoire de la naissance, de l'éducation et des actions de Maximilien; on le suit pas à pas depuis son enfance jusqu'à son âge mûr."

"Precieux monument de la Gravure en bois."-Brunet.

This is a most splendid and magnificent volume, exhibiting a very interesting and accurate view of the Costume of the XVth Century, as observed in the Processions of Maximilian the First. Sandrart having seen impressions from a few of these blocks, pronounced them masterpieces of art. They are, indeed, not less remarkable for bold and correct drawings, than for the perfection which they display in the art of engraving in wood. The whole of the designs and engravings were executed at the expense, and under the direction of Maximilian himself, but as he died before the completion of the work, only a few separate plates had appeared till 1796, when the Emperor of Austria permitted this edition to be worked off from the original blocks. 5761 HERBERGER (Th. Archivar der Stadt Augsburg) Conrad Peutinger in seinem Verhältnisse zum Kaiser Maximilian I. 4to. an interesting tract, giving valuable information respecting this Series of " Maximilian publications," 2s 6d Augsburg, s. a. (? 1852) "La bizarrerie de Maximilien se manifeste dans ses cuvrages comme dans les actions de sa vie.

Le style et les mœurs en sont héroïques, ou, si l'on veut, chevaleresques, dans un temps qui n'a plus rien de l'antiquité et qui se sépare déjà du moyen-âge. Maximilien a vu naître la réforme; il ne l'a pas comprise. Sa première jeunesse se passa toute en exercices militaires, en tournois et en aventures. Elu roi des Romains à l'âge de 18 ans (1477), il se livra à la guerre avec ardeur; mais plus heureux dans les combats singuliers que dans les batailles, il ajouta peu de gloire à celle d'avoir d'abord triomphe de Louis XI. S'il a agrandi sa puissance jusqu'à mériter le nom d'un second Rodolphe d'Hapsbourg, ce fut moins par ses victoires que par ses mariages, qui lui apportèrent pour dots les couronnes d'Espagne, de Hongrie et de Bohéme.

"Il avait une noble part de courage personnel, un esprit ingénieux, varié; des goûts somptueux et magnifiques, mais il manquait de la véritable grandeur.

"On raconte que, présidant sa premiére diète à Worms, en 1495, il apprit qu'un célèbre chevalier français, Claude de Batre, avait jeté à toute la chevalerie allemande un défi qui était resté sans réponse. Au jour fixé pour le combat, il se revêt d'armes inconnues, entre dans la lice visière baissée, est renversé, se relève, terrasse Claude de Batre, et, vainqueur, découvre aux spectateurs stupéfaits son visage d'empereur-roi. Durant ses guerres contre la France et dans la Gueldre, il se`. plaisait souvent à envoyer lui-même des défis aux chevaliers des camps ennemis.

"Il a perfectionné l'artillerie; il a composé un traité sur la cuisine. Il a donné à son peuple. des fêtes si belles et si dispendieuses que son peuple se souleva contre lui, faillit le jeter hors l'empire, et ne s'apaisa qu'après avoir attaché à son nom d'empereur le sobriquet de sans-argent.

"Il y aurait un petit volume à écrire sur ses originalités. Pendant les quatre dernières années de sa vie, il se faisait suivre partout dans ses voyages d'un grand coffre de bois dont lui seul avait la clef. Dans ce coffre il tenait enfermés un cerceuil, un suaire, des tentures funèbres, des clous, un marteau, une croix. Etant un jour malade dans la Haute-Autriche, à Wells, il s'aperçut qu'il avait trop mangé de melon à son dîner, et il annonça à ses courtisans qu'il allait mourir. Il se coucha, fit son testament, et ordonna à ses médecins, dés qu'ils le verraient mort, de lui couper les cheveux, de lui arracher les dents, de les broyer et de les réduire en poudre, d'entourer son corps d'une sac de chaux vive, et de l'ensevelir dans le cercueil que contenait le coffre; enfin de le conduire à Nenstadt pour y être inhumé sous l'autel de la cathédrale. Ces ordres furent exécutés, mais Ferdinand ler a depuis fait transporter le cercueil à Inspruck, et a érigé à Maximilien un superbe mausolée."
