The Great Herball Newly Corrected. London: Thome Gybson, 1539. Folio, title page printed within elaborate architectural woodcut compartment, rare, ESTC lists three U.S. copies; the last copy offered at auction was incomplete and sold in 1949; bound in full blind-tooled calf over bevelled boards, with the original leather covering used as pastedown linings, free endleaves are parchment (binding somewhat dry, rubbed), a.e.g.; ex libris Christopher William Beaumont Pease, with his bookplate, with an additional Pease family bookplate done in gilt stamping with the motto "Pax et Spes" inserted, 10 1/2 x 7 1/4 in. This work is the fourth printed English translation of the Circa Instans, a popular Medieval herbal which circulated in manuscript form before the advent of printing. "The success of the Circa Instans resulted from its pragmatic, user-friendly structure, which made it especially useful to medical practitioners. The collection provides a selection of about 270 natural substances derived from plants, animals and minerals. Plants are the most consistently represented category, with everyday, readily available substances appearing more frequently than rare or exotic ones. The text is structured in alphabetical order, regardless of whether the substance is mineral, vegetal or animal in origin. This alphabetical organisation made it easier to search for a specific item within the text." (Quoted from a blog post by Dr. Iolanda Ventura posted on the Wellcome Library's website: http://blog.wellcomelibrary.org/2017/02/a-medieval-medical-bestseller-the-circa-instans/) [pi]4, A-Z4, Aa-Bb4, Cc6. http://estc.bl.uk/S119819 Estimate $25,000-35,000 Binding rubbed, spine sunned to a warmer color, some surface abrasions, binding structurally functional; contents leaves washed and pressed; some leaves with faint printing, leaves evenly toned throughout, some minor occasional spotting, a few holes in last index leaf very neatly filled with losses to only a letter or two. Former owner's or bookseller's note on ffep, "This is the best edition of this very rare book. It is so scarce like all the books printed by Gibson that Dibdin could add nothing to Herbert's description in the Typographical Curiosities.

Elyot, Sir Thomas (1490?-1546) Pasquyll the Playne. London: Thomae Bertheleti, 1540. Second edition (two appeared in 1533); title page printed within architectural woodcut border dated 1534; large woodcut of Elyot's coat of arms on the verso of C7 with the slogan "Face aut Tace"; rare, no auction sales; two U.S. copies listed in ESTC; bound in later limp parchment, contents somewhat water stained, with some spots, 5 3/4 x 3 3/4 in. Pasquil the Playne is a semi-serious prose dialogue set in ancient Rome on the various flaws and merits of speech versus silence. Because Elyot was part of Henry VIII's court, and friends with Cromwell and Wolsey, one may suppose that it portrays some aspects of that scene. Elyot is among the pioneers of English prose literature.

Elyot, Sir Thomas (1490?-1546) The Image of Governaunce Compiled of the Actes and Sentences Notable, of the Most Noble Emperour Alexandre Severus, Late Translated out of Greke into Englishe. London: Imprinted in the house of Thomas Berthelette, 1549. First edition, small octavo, title printed within architectural woodcut border, text in black letter, bound in full modern calf, some minor faults to text, title remargined, some light worming, a few spots, 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 in. In Writing Under Tyranny: English Literature and the Henrician Reformation, Greg Walker writes that, The Image of Governance, "far from being a straightforward life of an ideal emperor, is actually a complex, bitter, and at times savagely satirical rumination on princely power and its perversions, probably prompted at least in part by the fall of Elyot's patron and friend Thomas Cromwell. Many of the details highlighted in the text seem designed to comment upon contemporary events and Henry's slide into tyranny in the course of the 1530s."
