M., 12mo. plates, vellum, £2. 16s Anvers, 1636 A curious work, singular even to grotesqueness in its ideas and language, but intended to bear a spiritual meaning. The sister Volontairette is continually falling into misfortune through her foolish whims, while Colombelle, a wise but prosy maiden, reaches Jerusalem safely and weds her lord. An account of the Book is given in Southey's Life of Bunyan, p. xciv. 17081 BONAVENTURA (S.)

(? Aug. Vind. cir. 1485) This is the rare original edition, consisting of 102 leaves printed in double columns. Although the book is stated in the colophon to be editum à sancto viro Bonaventura, the Saint is not considered to have been the real author. It is a book of reference for preachers, being texts from, and references to, the Bible arranged under headings such as Poverty, Treachery, Hypocrisy, Wrath, Humility, etc. 17083 BUDÆI (G.) de Transitu Hellenismi ad Christianismum, small folio, LARGE PAPER, fine copy in the original stamped leather binding, two leaves of an ancient Latin service book used as flyleaves, £2. 28 Paris.

Only one other book is known produced at that singular press which holds the credit of an independent practice of topography not derived from German workmen or teachers. It is printed in Roman letter, without marks, on 135 11. (the 2 11. of table wanting in this copy). The work was written in 1474, as appears from a statement on folio 21. 17088 FICINO (Marsilio) della Christiana Religione, 4to. large and fine copy in old calf gilt, £5. Sine nota (Florence, about 1476) This Italian translation is excessively rare. It contains 114 11., 2 being occupied by the table, and 1 blank. It has been stated that the types used in this volume were the same as Niccolo di Lorenzo used in the Vita di Colombini, but it is almost certain from close inspection that it was printed with the same types as the Latin original, or, as seems more probable, with a clearer and sharper fount produced from the same matrices. 17089 THE FRUYTE OF REDEMPCYON. The last prayer contains pyled this mater in Englysche for our goostly comforte that "Prayer and full devoute Contemplacyons." Excessively rare, unknown to Lowndes, who mentions only an edition with signatures A to E, dated 1530, which is probably imaginary. This copy has signatures A to F. The only other editions known are those of 1514 and 1517. 17090 [GAIGNY (Jean de)] LE LIURE DE NOUUEL REIMPRIME FAISANT MENTION DES SEPT PAROLLES que nostre benoist saulueur et redempteur Jesuchrist dit en larbre de de la croix; small 4to. 9 fine woodcuts, none of them repeated, beautiful copy in the original stamped binding, inscribed in MS.

Petit, s. d. A very singular work, notwithstanding its piety. One chapter is on "le sacré ventre de la Vierge," followed by a "Méditation aux cuisses." It is not therefore surprising, while he dwells on the sacré ventre, and "ces dignes et precieuses cuisses," that the author says "De ceste fontaine de vie située au jardin de delices spirituelles . procède un fleuve de grace qui arrose toutes les belles vertueuses herbes diceluy jardin." Another meditation is on the Virgin's dignes flancs. 17093 INTRAS (Jean d') Le Pressoir Mystique, 16mo. beautiful plates by L. Gaultier, fine copy in veau fauve extra, gilt edges, from the Beckford library, £4. 4s Paris, 1605 The frontispiece has a curious representation of Christ in a wine-press, bowed under the pressure of the screw, with blood spirting forth from his breast, which flows into a chalice below. 17094 INTRAS (Jean d') Le Pressoir Mystique, 12mo. fine plates, real morocco extra, gilt edges, probably by Bradel, from the Beckford library, £5.

Madame Guyon was like St. Teresa in her conception of spiritual marriage. Human conjunction was considered improper and debasing, but the extasy of the divine embrace seems to have been sensually identical with the mundane joys which they deprecated. 17095 [LE ROY (Francois)] LE DIALOGUE DE CONSOLATION ENTRE LAME ET KAISON; FAIT & COMPOSE par ung religieux de la refORMATIO DE LORDRE FONTEURAULT, sm. 8vo.
