In Novum Testamentum ab eodem denuo recognitum, Annotationes

by Erasmus of Rotterdam

  • Used
Basel: Johannes Froben, March 1519. The rare first edition of the enlarged annotations in a separate volume.

A scholar's copy annotated with the Hebrew learning of Sebastian Münster.
Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (c. 1466-1536), a Dutch humanist, Catholic priest, and scholar, was one of the most influential Renaissance figures. A professor of divinity and Greek, Erasmus wrote, taught and travelled, meeting with Europe's foremost scholars. A prolific author, Erasmus wrote on subjects of both ecclesiastic and general human interest.
The first printed New Testament in the original Greek including Erasmus's Latin translation and his annotations appeared in Basel in 1516. Erasmus had already begun revising his text during the production of that publication. Moreover, he augmented his immense scholarly annotations considerably, which resulted in the publication of the Annotationes as a separate volume to accompany the Novum Testamentum; both volumes appeared together in 1519. It was especially this edition that formed the basis of both Luther's and Tyndale's New Testament translations. The Annotationes, although listed on the title-page of Novum Testamentum, is often found separately.
Johannes Froben decorated this edition with several woodcut borders, headpieces and fine metalcut initials made by important Basel illustrators, used before in other works. Ambrosius Holbein, the older brother of Hans Holbein the younger, designed the elaborate woodcut border of the title page, signed and dated AH 1517. Another charming border by Ambrosius Holbein embellishes the beginning of the commentary while the woodcut border on Erasmus's epistle to the reader is attributed to Master HF (Hieronymus 1983, no. 302).

Manuscript annotations: The present copy contains manuscript marginalia derived from Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), the celebrated humanist, cosmographer and Hebrew scholar, especially from his Hebrew edition of the Gospel of Matthew. The volume recalls the importance of Hebrew studies among Renaissance humanists and serves as a fascinating reminder of the double role Hebrew played during the Protestant Reformation. Fervent Reformers examined Jewish texts both to equip themselves better in arguments with contemporary rabbis and to more clearly understand the original Hebrew texts that lay behind the Latin Vulgate defended so fiercely by 16th-century Catholics.
In a precise 16th-century humanist hand, an unidentified scholar painstakingly transcribed the Latin/Hebrew commentary from Münster's Evangelium secundum Mattheum in lingua hebraica, cum versione Latina atque succinctis annotationibus printed in Basel by Heinrich Petri in 1537, into this book. Word-for-word copying was not considered a rote or passive activity at that time: copying was a tool of scholarship and our anonymous 16th-century scholar formed part of this intellectual milieu. The scholar shows good abilities in Hebrew, fluidly reproducing difficult characters (but rarely quoting longer Hebrew passages in their entirety). The Gospel of Matthew was a natural point of focus for Christian Hebraists: early church authorities held that Matthew's Gospel had originally been composed in Hebrew rather than Greek. Humanists thus asserted that a proper re-examination of the text accounted for the peculiarities of the ancient Jewish language. Indeed at one point, as if to reconfirm to himself the importance of his labours, our unidentified annotator notes that even Erasmus defended the patristic opinion of Matthew's textual origin.

Provenance: 1. Coat of arms in the second woodcut border with three heraldic roses on red and white (silver) ground (unidentified). – 2. Inscriptions found in the margins of pages aa4 and 1-87 are attributed to the hand of Sebastian Münster (see old note on title-page) because of the entry on upper margin of p. 79: … Ego Sebastianus Munsterus … in Calendario meo Hebraico nonnihil quoque scripsi … While the commentary is indeed by Münster, it seems unlikely that Münster would have quoted his own text as literally in the margins of another book. Moreover, one of the few deviations from Münster's text in our inscription is the addition of his name to the word Ego. An explanation as this would be useless, if the copy had belonged to Münster himself (Burmeister 2014). – 3. Nuremberg, Georg Sella (or Sessel; 1508-1571), a Lutheran schoolmaster and theologian; manuscript acquisition notes on title, dated 2 June 1544. Sella was acquainted with Philipp Melanchthon, Hebraists as Bernhard Ziegler and Andreas Osiander, and with the mathematician Johannes Schöner. A passionate book collector, he regularly wrote acquisition notes in his books. While Burmeister assumes that Sella could have been the writer of the inscriptions in our copy, there are slight differences between the handwritings of ownership inscription and annotations. – 4. Another (later) inscription: Venditu A. Schwarzio 4 (?) [Pound].

Description of the copy: Folio, 345 x 225 mm. (8), 576 (of 579) pp. – Roman, Greek and Hebrew type. Numerous headpieces and small initials, 24 large figurative initials, 3 full borders, all in woodcut (without device at end). Versals touched in red up to p. 131 and pp. 242-409. Initials touched in red and sometimes green, a coat of arms supplied in ink on leaf aa2. Extensive manuscript annotations in the first quires, see above.
Binding: Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin on wooden boards, four raised double-cords.
Condition: Some browning and staining, mainly in the lower area of the leaves, considerably at numerous first and last quires of the book, a few traces of worming, first c. 10-12 leaves with lower margins frayed, a few more marginal tears. – Binding stained and worn, ends of spine damaged, clasps missing, a crack in lower cover glued and strengthened inside with a piece of manuscript vellum.

Description:
Full calf. Probable first issue of the Stowe Edition with Chaucer's arms dated 1560 and before woodcut additions. Relative to the precedence of issues of the 1561 Stowe edition David R. Carlson ("The Woodcut Illustrations in Early Printed Editions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales," in Chaucer Illustrated: Five Hundred Years of The Canterbury Tales in Pictures [British Library, 2003]) states "the most plausible explanation seems to be that the printer and publisher of the [Stowe] edition, came into possession of the woodcuts belatedly after most of the press work for the edition had been done. After obtaining the blocks, they ran up a new issue of the beginning of the book, incorporating a "General Prologue" illustrated with woodcut. In all documented cases, the unillustrated [i.e. first]"General Prologue" occurs with a title page showing the Chaucer arms, dated 1560 at the top of the shield. A different title-page, dated 1561, is found in copies incorporating the [woodcut] illustrated… Read More

The unique feature of the inscription is that it is written and signed in the looping cursive script of Greene's natural handwriting and legal signature; versus the printed hybrid script and autograph that he had adopted for public consumption at his booksignings.
