Frontespizio in riproduzione fotostatica, con marca calcografica di Sessa con il celebre con topo in bocca, ripetuta in fine al testo. Una carta bianca intercalata dopo il frontespizio. Raccolta delle opere dell'umanista di origini aristocratiche Marco Gerolamo Vida (Cremona, 1485 ? Alba, 27 settembre 1566), canonico regolare che fu allievo di Nicolò Lucari e Francesco Vigilio. Si tratta di poemetti didascalici, principalmente in esametri latini, che ebbero al tempo un notevole successo. In particolare il "Christiados" ("Christia"), primo poema epico religioso, condotto a termine nel 1535, influenzò il Tasso e in Sannazaro per il suo "De Partu Virginis"; lo "Scacchia ludus", del 1527, che narra di una partita a scacchi tra Mercurio e Apollo, ebbe ben 62 edizioni latine e almeno 73 traduzioni in varie lingue; mentre il "De bombyce" è uno dei primi poemi sul tema del baco da seta. Vida fu il primo a scrivere sulla Disfida di Barletta, e fu anche Vescovo di Alba e collaboratore di Carlo Borromeo dopo aver partecipato al Concilio di Trento. > Di Cesare, "Bibliotheca Vidiana", 5.

[Lucius Caecilius Firmianus signo Lactantius (c. 250 - c. 325) was an early North African Christian author who became an advisor to Roman emperor, Constantine I, guiding his Christian religious policy in its initial stages of emergence, and a tutor to his son Crispus. His most important work is the Institutiones Divinae ("The Divine Institutes"), an apologetic treatise intended to establish the reasonableness and truth of Christianity to pagan critics. He is best known for his apologetic works, widely read during the Renaissance by humanists who called Lactantius the "Christian Cicero". The Basle printer Henricus Petrus was responsible for the publication of very important works, including an early edition of Copernicus and Munster's Cosmographia. He printed this Latin and Greek edition of Lactantius' work in a mixture of roman single column, italic double column with the indices in triple column and with a few woodut initials. This is the first appearance of of the commentary by Xystus Betuleius who composed German and Latin didactic dramas, this commentary and also another on Cicero; and a concordance of the Greek New Testament. An associate of Erasmus, he was a witness to Erasmus' first will, in 1527.].

Lucianus fand zu fast allen Zeiten Leser und Bewunderer.

Third edition of the Latin translation of the Greek Church father Clemens collected works, a Basel edition by Thomas Guarini in folio was published the same year. According to different entries in the OCLC this edition was published in Paris by different publishers. OCLC does not give an entry for this one! The translation which was made by Gentiam Hervet Aurelianus was first published in 1551. The editio princeps of the Greek text was published in 1550. Clemens of Alexandria or Titus Flavius Clemens (c. 150- c. 215) is one of the oldest Church fathers whose works have survived. He was a convert to Christianity and was influenced by Hellenistic philosophy to a greater extent than the other Christian thinkers of the time, and in particular by Plato and the Stoics. He has many controversial ideas. In the 9th-century some of them were considered heretic, and he was removed as a saint by the Catholic church in the 18th-century but he is still considered a saint in the Coptic faith.

Con bella marca al frontespizio (caduceo con 2 serpenti attorti ed uccello appollaiato al vertice, sostenuto da 2 mani che escono da nuvole), ripetuta in fine ed iniziali figurate, in xilografia. Forellini di tarlo al dorso, e minime mancanze alla cuffia di piede. Mancano all'inizio del volume le 12 carte n.n. contenenti l'Indice, al cui posto è stata legata carta manoscritta in inchiostro con elegante grafia (indice dei Libri contenuti nei 2 volumi); blanda gora al margine bianco esterno di alcune carte (compreso il frontespizio) e delimitato foro di tarlo che ne interessa circa 25. Firma poco leggibile (dilavata) al frontespizio (Laurentii Mariae.) a cui potrebbero ricondursi le glosse a margine delle carte nelle segnature s3-u1, e le rade censure in inchiostro (ricordiamo che nonostante Erasmo non si fosse mai schierato nella disputa teologica innestata dalla Riforma, rimanendo sempre cattolico, suoi scritti furono inclusi nell'Index Librorum dal 1559). Solo volume 1° su 2 (manca la Pars secunda). Salvo difetti descritti, buon esemplare di questa traduzione latina dell'opera greca di Origene, teologo e padre della chiesa che dedicò gran parte della sua opera all'esegesi biblica, pur fra i sospetti di "eresia" causati dalla vicinanza al circolo neoplatonico alessandrino. L'umanesimo cristiano si rifà in gran parte a lui: Erasmo ne conobbe l'opera attraverso il francescano Jean Vitrier, che incontrò a Saint-Omer nel 1501; nel 1508, nei mesi passati presso Aldo Manuzio, ebbe accesso alla sua biblioteca di autori greci e dai classici procedette allo studio delle Sacre Scitture (una edizione del Nuovo Testamento greco fu stampata nel 1516 a sua cura, e poi nel 1519, corretta). L'editio princeps della traduzione latina di Origene fu a cura di Jacques Merlin (Parigi 1512); la 1a curata da Erasmo apparve nel 1536 a Basilea, presso Froben, già postuma.
