Ɵ Valerius Probus, De notis romanis, in Latin, manuscript on paper [Italy, mid-fifteenth century] 9 leaves, a single complete gathering (the last leaf once a cancelled blank), wanting a single leaf at beginning, else complete, entries in 2 columns: abbreviations followed by expanded text, all in professional humanist script (approximately 21 lines in each column), entries arranged alphabetically, each entry headed by an ornamental Roman capital, watermark of a hunting horn with central band and elephant-trunk like lips to mouthpiece (close to Briquet 7686 and many others, from a wide distribution across fifteenth-century Italy), first leaf beginning with last two lines of prologue of text, some old waterstains (without substantial affect to text), a few later scribbles in margin, overall in fair and presentable condition, 198 by 135mm.; stitched into card binding, probably nineteenth-century This is the only surviving work securely attributed to the Roman Grammarian, Valerius Probus (Marcus Valerius Probus, c. 20/30-105 AD.), who rose to prominence during the reign of Nero. What survives is most probably only part of the original text. Abbreviations, and excessive use of them, were as much of a problem for Ancient readers as they were for medieval, Renaissance and modern students of manuscripts. Isidore of Seville notes that some frowned on their usage, and Justinian expressly forbid their use in legal texts and set punitive penalties for anyone using or selling such a book. Probus’ text championed a more permissive approach to their employment by copyists, offering the reader an easy reference tool for their decipherment. Copies are extremely rare on the market, and the Schoenberg database lists only a single manuscript as having been offered for sale, that in a Renaissance compendium sold by Laurence Witten in his cat. for 1964, no. 313 (now Beinecke, Yale). Ɵ Indicates that the lot is subject to buyer’s premium of 24% exclusive of VAT (0% VAT).

A Chinese carved rhinoceros horn libation cup, late Qing period, of warm-toffee tone, the vessel finely carved externally in relief with pine trees upon a mountainous landscape with figures steering a boat along a flowing river, the handle formed from a gnarly pine tree trunk and a rocky outcrop, the tree branches spilling over the rim and into the bowl, upon a flared, oval foot, good colour and patination, darkening towards the foot, measuring 153mm by 94mm across and 83mm in height, 232.7g. CONDITION REPORT: Professional independant opinion : Carved rhino horn libation cup weight 232.7g 153mm x 94mm at the widest point of the cup, and 83mm high.This is the horn of an Asiatic rhino. I can establish this as it is carved from the full horn and therefore gives an indication of form and shape. The horn is darker and heavier in colour than that of the black or White rhino. The colour is also more uniformed and has a reddish and golden tone when held to the light, which is more common with the Asiatic rhino. The horn is full and has no hollow core which is found in buffalo horn etc. Looking at the base, I can see the pitting commonly found at the root of the rhino horn. The fibres are long and straight which is also indicative of rhino horn. I would estimate the date of the rhino horn to be around 1880. My reason for this is the patina, which has built up in a finer layer than those of later periods. There is some cracking and crazing to the horn, which is found when horn dries out slowly. The amount of crazing on any one area would indicate to me that it dates from the aforementioned period. Also, it is noted that it has been carved in China, and the decoration is of a fine quality. Given the history provided in the clients affidavit to the Auction house, along with the quality of the hand carving, this would also suggest that it dates from circa 1880.

Various watches were recorded stolen from his premises in 1774 and 1781. He is known as a maker of fine longcases, with one in particular being an exceptional musical example with the dial showing the saint's days, holy days and the Gods of the four seasons along with an annual calendar.Another example, with a wooden movement showing the influence of the great John Harrison who had previously worked in the area, is on display at The Collection, Art & Archaeology in Leicestershire where it is stated: Although influenced by Harrison, Sutton remains an outstanding craftsman and innovator in his own right. Reference: Joseph McKenna, Clockmakers & Watchmakers of Central England, Mayfield Books, 2002.The rear of the moon disc and the frontplate of the movement are both signed, one scratched, the other punched, by the clockmaker Thomas Pear of Stafford who is recorded as working at 4, Marston Road, Stafford, from before 1880 until at least 1896 and beyond. This mark would indicate that he carried out some repairs/restorations on this clock.
