The natureand statues of the recipient is indicated by the gilt Bishop’s mitre andthe initials P.P., standing for “Pastor Pastorum (Shepherd ofShepherds), “Papa Pontifex” or simply “Papa”. Although P.P. cansignify Bishop, “P.P.” generally stands for Pope and may thereforeindicate Pope Paul III (Pope 1534-1549). The earliest knowninscription of “P.P.” refers to the papacy of Marcellinus which lastedfrom A.D. 296 to 304 (see G.B. de Rossi. Inscriptiones Christianaeurbis romae , vol.1, p.115). At some point at attempt has been madeto obscrue the mitre and the tree, but both remain clearly visiblenevertheless. George Chapman drew on Andreas Divus’s translationin his own important translation of the Odyssey, originally publishedin folio in 1614–16. Adams H770

First edition of the first printed translations in old church Slavonicfrom the Doctrina Christiana by Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, this rareand singular example of early Slavonic printing (the only recordedfrom this printer) carries woodcut religious images very much in thecontemporary Latin or Italian style. The ‘Doctrina’ were a layman’scatechistical guide by Europe’s leading Jesuit theologian and werewidely disseminated in languages including Congolese and Chaldean.The quite early production of the present edition was perhaps due inpart to the well-established ties between the printing capital of Veniceand the Dalmatian and Istrian coasts.

According to Hain, thethird edition had ‘Einis (sic) carminis’, instead of ‘Finis carminis’, atthe end of the poem, which corresponds to the present copy. Faberwrites about the evil of gambling: ‘solet annexa ludus habere mala’and ‘the damnable dice’, since to damnation they lead.

Note: The only ancient work that has come down to us on theinterpretation of hieroglyphs, first printed in 1505 by Aldus in hiscollection of Greek fables, and in the translation of Trabatio in 1515.The work was supposedly written in Egyptian by Horapollo and latertranslated to Greek. Its style, which seems to resemble more that ofElien and his fantastical stories, than of anything relating to ancientEgypt, led to it being discredited of having any true historical value.However Champollion, after his studies on the Rosetta stone, re-examined this work and felt that it had more to do with the symbolicimages found on Egyptian monuments than hieroglyphs themselvesthus concluding that the only thing intrinsically wrong with the bookwas its title.

Jeromewas the preeminent Christian scholar of his age, indeed he is one ofvery few examples of canonisation on grounds of exemplary service tothe church rather than exemplary sanctity. In between his moresubstantial compositions, including the first bibliographical authorcatalogue, Jerome wrote letters on every subject under the sun butparticularly anything controversial. Luther complained that Jerome’s

letters were only about fasting and virginity, but this is unfair. He wasa pioneer in all fields of patrology and Biblical archeology. BMC V 419.Goff H-175. Hain III 8563.

Thisedition has a variant form of the title-page in which the date appearsas 1551. Cavellat in his preface states that he is republishing the textbecause of the almost complete absence of works on the science andmethod of music compared with all other subjects. “Many musictheorists from the 16th century to the 18th either referred to Faber orquoted him” (Grove Dictionary of Music).

A rare presentation copy of the first octavo edition printed in Paris,published in late May 1762, concurrently with the 12mo edition.According to Jo-Ann McEachern the greater part of the duodecimowas imposed and printed before the octavo printing. However thepreface and titles were printed initially in the octavo format, and itwas the octavo that Rousseau received first and was the first to bedistributed on 23 May 1762.Rousseau’s educational treatise expounded his personal deist views,earning him the wrath of both clergymen and philosophers. TheParlement of Paris condemned both book and author, forcingRousseau to flee France. However, despite the religious controversy itprovoked, Emile fostered the Romantic movement’s heightenedappreciation of nature and strengthened the concept of the “noblessesauvage.” J.A.

380Wordsworth, William — Lofft, CapelErnest, or political regeneration. A poem. Privately Printed, [no date],12mo, inscribed by William Wordsworth on the title page,contemporary sheep, ink label on upper board, some spotting, hingesweak and cracking

Note: Lofft was both an essayist and minor poet. A passionatereformer, from 1779 onwards he was a lively participant in theDebating Societies in England. Although frequently and often fiercelyopposed by the landed gentry and the Tories, Lofft always remainedundaunted and unflinchingly committed to the cause of Freedom.Indeed, the American and French Revolutions made such a profoundimpression on him that he, along with many other British “radicals”of his day, clamoured for immediate Reform of Parliament. Dead setagainst slavery, he was even granted an honourary membership inthe Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia, and was an active member ofthe London Abolition Society. Lofft’s revolutionary views wouldcertainly have been an influence on the young Wordsworth, whovisited Revolutionary France while studying at Cambridge. Aftergraduation Wordsworth returned to France for a number of yearsbefore tensions grew too high with Britain.
