Three fine historiated woodcut initials. (50) lvs. Rare school book on weights and measures, consisting of lectures given at schools by three outstanding humanist teachers of the first half of the sixteenth century. Andrea Alciati (1492-1550), Italian scholar, lawyer, and literary author, best known for his emblem books, contributed the first two lectures, one on weights and measures, and the other in praise of the Roman code civil. Then follow the Sententia, and an extensive lecture on law by Philippus Melanchton (1497-1560), famous German church-reformer and author of many schoolbooks. The Sententia consists of two short vocabularies, one on measures and the other on weights, including money-weights, with some translations in German for special use of German students. The book ends with a comparative vocabulary of Greek and French money by Guillaume Budé (1467-1540), one of the most erudite men of the sixteenth century, and founder of the Collège de France and the Bibliothèque du Roi. Good copy.- (Binding sl. rubbed; small corner cut off from title).
