AVEN RUSHD vel IBN RUSCHAD, Communissime AVERROIS, Cordubensis, liber qui dicitur ‘Auditus :' i. e. in viij. libros Aristotelis repì voiкns Aкpodσewc, de Auscultatione Physica, Commentarius, Hebraicè versus à R. Sam. (Mose?) Aben Tibbon. HEBREW MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, of the fifteenth century, 4to. in the original oak boards, in fine preservation, 51. 5s.

An old MS. note in this volume says, " Ne è l'autore il Filosofo Abù Clolid figlio di Russàd Hak kortuvì (i. e. Nativo di Cordova): la scrisse in Siviglia l'anno della Creazione 5195, (dell' Æ. C. 1435 :) ne transcrisse la presente copia in Italia Ovadià (vulgo Abdia) Chài, di professione Scrivano, nella città di Rieti, per ordine ed a spese del Dottore Sabbethai Chehanân suo zio, figlio di Iiaàb nativo di Bethel'." This note must be wrong, both in attributing the work to the son of Averroes, and in the date when it was written. The exact year of Averroes' death is not known, yet it was certainly prior to 1220; his son, therefore, could not be living in 1435. But the work is by Averroes himself, and the date is probably that of the MS. from which this was transcribed by Obadiah Chài or Hhaïm.

Wolf attributes this Hebrew Translation to Samuel Aben Tibbon; but De-Rossi, with more reason, perhaps, to his son Moses, who flourished 1270. They were Spanish Jews of Granada, and, as well as the grandfather, Giuda Aben Tibbon, were remarkable for their learning, and the numerous works they translated from the Arabic into Hebrew. Most of their works have never been printed.

This MS. is a fine specimen of Hebrew Caligraphy. The different possessors, from time to time, have inserted their names at the end, in Hebrew: the first is one Raphael, to whom it came by inheritance dividing the family library with his uncle and brothers; ii. Abram Sabbethài, son of Israel, dwelling at Rieti, who in 5279, (A.D. 1519), sells it to Israel, son of Cliezer, (vulgò Lazarus,) of Spoleti, for money; iii. Judas, son of Moses Fano of Saltara, who bought it of Latino, son of Judas Latino, of Spoleti, dated at Pesaro, under the government of the Duke of Urbino, in the year 5331 (A.D. 1571.)

326 Tristani Caraccioli Opera Omnia. MANUSCRIPT, of the sixteenth century, pp. 602. Very neatly written, folio, in Italian vellum binding,

21. 2s.

Tristan Caraccioli was a Neapolitan noble of high rank in the Capuano Seggio, and of considerable eminence for his talents and learning. He was a member of the celebrated Neapolitan Academy-the Academy of Pontano; and a Life of Pontano, with whom he appears to have lived in great intimacy, is among his works. He is commemorated by Sannazaro in his Arcadia:

"Ma a guisa d'un bel sol, fra tutti radia

Caracciol, ch'in sonar sampogne e cetere
Non trovarebbe il pari in tutta Arcadia."

But perhaps some doubt may be entertained, whether this passage may
not relate to Gian-Francesco Caraccioli, who lived at this period, and
whose poems were printed at Naples in 1506--See Roscoe, Leo. X.
chap. ii.

Caraccioli's works are historical and moral; the former have been printed by Muratori in his Scriptt. Rerum Italicarum, vol. 22; but we believe there is no complete edition of his works. This MS. is from the Library of the late Duke di Cassano-Serra.

327 Ad Clarissimum Virum Paulu Maurocenu. Senatorē Venetū; et p'uincie Lombarde presidem. Stephani Fed'rici Brix': de Justicia: et Jure liber,' (libri duo, forma dialogi conscripti.) MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, of the sixteenth century, 4to. in the original binding, with clasps, 27. 12s. 6d.

A very neat Manuscript with illuminated initials. The author was probably a relation of Luigi Federici, also of Brescia.

328 Nicolaus Angelius Bucinensis clarissimo viro Latino Benassaio Pontificis Maximi (Leonis X.) à cubiculo. (Epistola de Ciceronis Orationibus.) MANUSCRIPT, very neatly written, folio, sewed,

4s. 6d.

This Epistle was prefixed, or intended to be prefixed, to the edition of Cicero's Orations printed by Filippo Giunta, in 1515; for whom, and others of the Giunti, Niccolò degli Angeli, or Angelio Bucinense, had edited so many works, that it was said of him, 'natus ut veteres authores temporis et hominum corruptos et mortuos ad vitam revocaret.'

329 LAURENTII BINDANDI FOROLIVIENSIS SCRIPTA INEDITA, viz. Commentarius in xj libros Apuleij de Asino Aureo et Commentarius in P. Ovidii Nasonis Metamorphoseon.--Francisci Philelphi Epistolæ variæ. MANUSCRIPT, of the fifteenth century, on paper, 4to. in the original binding, 31. 13s. 6d.

These commentaries of Bindando, we believe, are still unpublished. This fate was evidently not contemplated by the author, who concludes with 'jamq. opus exegi, &c. &c.' The volume is very neatly written in the Italic cursive character.

330 Anonymi Dialectices Compendium, seu previæ quædam ad universam Aristotelis logicam Institutiones, vulgò Summulæ. MANUSCRIPT, of the sixteenth century, on paper, with diagrams neatly drawn, 4to. in vellum,

331 Piedra de Parangon Politica, sacada del Monte Parnasso, donde se tocan les gouiernos de las majores monarquias del Universo, de Traxano Boccalini. MANUSCRIPT, 4to. neatly written,

14s.

This is a cotemporary translation, from the Italian, of Boccalini's famous Political Touchstone, wherein he exposed the Spanish designs upon Naples, and thus drew upon himself the vengeance of the Spaniards, at whose instigation he was assassinated, (as some say, beaten to death with sand-bags.) The translator must have been a bold man. Boccalini illustrates, or rather ridicules, the balance of power,' by supposing that the different States of Europe had determined to take measures for the establishment of their general tranquillity, for which purpose they agreed to meet at a fixed time, and to compare their relative strength by weighing each other, in order that the too powerful might be restrained and the weak assisted, so as to keep up a proper equilibrium between them.' The office of adjusting the weights was, by the common consent of all historians,' conferred upon Lorenzo de' Medici.See Roscoe's Illus, of the Life of Lorenzo.

MANUSCRIPT, 4to. in Spanish binding of old red morocco, richly gilt, 31. 13s. 6d.

A singular volume. Great pains have been taken with the writing, and the work is adorned with numerous drawings in pen and ink, very elaborately executed, representing landscapes, figures, grotesque designs, &c. none of them have any relation to the subjects, and they are introduced, apparently, for no other reason than to relieve the tedium arising from dry scholastic disputations. It is of Spanish execution.

339 Manoscritto Autografo del chiarissimo Abate Giuseppe Bartoli nel quale si leggono registrati non pochi pezzi ossia memorie d'antichità; cose scelte, raccolte ed insieme unite ne' suoi viaggi di Francia ed Inghilterra,' with two Autograph Letters of Bartoli, dated from Padua, 1735. THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT, 4to. 21. 2s.

MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, of the fourteenth century, folio, in russia binding, by C. Lewis,

61. 6s.

Bernardus Circa, who was Bishop of Pavia, and afterwards of Faenza, died about the year 1200. He was the first who sifted the farrago of Decretals collected by Gratian a few years before, and his compilation is considered the Liber primus Decretalium;' those by succeeding writers being styled second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. An account of his Compilation is given by Antonio Augustino, Archbishop of Tarragona, the great Spanish Juris-consult, in the preface to his Collectio Veterum Decretalium, but from the following passage he does not appear to have seen this Summa: Idem Bernardus sub eisdem titulis Summam scripsisse dicitur, cujus initium fuit, Profectus discipuli gloria magistri.'

343 Fratris Francisci de Platea de Bononia ordinis minorum de observantia Tractatus de Usuris et Opus Restitutionum. MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, of the fifteenth century, small 4to. very neat, 21. 12s. 6d.

A Manuscript, probably contemporary with the author, written on fine and delicate Italian vellum. At the end are added some curious casuistic questions on incest, taken perhaps from the author's treatise 'De Censuris Ecclesiasticis,' and also in the same writing, an Italian Recipe, per fare unguento bono ad ogni male nato o fatto.'

There is no separately printed edition of this author's works, once so celebrated, since 1494.

344 Antinomiæ, (potiùs Conciliatio Antinomiarum) quæ in quatuor Institutionum libris continentur, cum prohemio in quo latè disputat an in jure nostro sit aliqua antinomia, et de regulis generalibus quibus componendæ sunt. MANUSCRIPT, written about 1620-30, 4to. in Spanisk vellum binding, 15s.

A very copious work on the discrepancies (legum dissonantiæ) existing in the Institutes. A work under the title of Liber Antinomiarum is attributed by Antonio to Diego Millan de Quiñones, a Spanish civilian of great note at that time, but he does not state that it has been printed. This is probably the original MS.

345 Joannis Francisci de Puga Novus et Methodicus Commentarius, seu Quæstio Disputanda de Pactis Liberatoriis pro explicatione tituli ff. de Pactis. MANUSCRIPT, very beautifully written, 4to. in vellum binding, 6s.

The scribe has added his name, Josephus Manuel a Sotillo, and that he began to write Oct. 19, 1682, and finished June 23, 1683.

345 Galvani (Alexandri) Responsum de eo apud graves quoque ac sapientes viros quandoque dubitari solet quodnam secularem Principem de iis, quas cives sibi, privati quidem illi, at publica tamen auctoritate præmuniti in Christiana quaque civitate ad Christianæ, hoc est, veræ et Ecclesiæ Catholicæ Romanæ consentaneæ religionis et pietatis cultum atque usum instituere solent, Fratriis (quæ et confraternitates vulgò vo citantur) consilium, quale Christianum Principem deceat, capere oporteat.'
