Crescentiis, Petrus - Commodorum Ruralium, Augsburg, Johann Schuessler, 1471, the first edition of the first printed book on agriculture. Chancery folio, mid-19th century crushed green morocco and gilt binding, signed E Niedree 1845 to turn in. The text is complete, the three blanks are lacking.Provenance: From the collection of Professor Robert ("Bobby") Boutflour, CBE (1890-1961). Gifted to him by B.O.C.M. (British Oil and Cake Mills) then by family descent. In his 1965 biography 'Bobby Boutflour' by his wife Mary Boutflour, it states: 'His two great hobbies were collecting old books on agriculture and, of course, shooting. Now a well-paid principal, he was able to indulge in purchasing books more freely, but he never paid very large sums. Bought at a moderate price, they increased in value. One book by J.S., 1545, he has marked, "very rare, perhaps the only one in existence". His most valuable book was a first edition of Petrus Crescentius printed in Germany in 1471, the printing, illuminations and paper being in excellent condition. This was a presentation from the B.O.C.M. So also was the delightful little volume of Fitzherbert (lot 687)' it seems like a very generous gift but as stated elsewhere in his biography: '...Ralph Sadler in proposing a vote of thanks to him in Harrowgate said 'Sir, you have put thousands of pounds into the pockets of dairy farmers. God knows how many millions you must have put into the pocket of B.O.C.M.' After his appointment as Principal of the Royal Agricultural College Cirencester in 1931 Professor Boutflour was largely responsible for raising the prestige of the College to its present high standards. He directed a radical remodeling of the University, expanding the student numbers from 50 to 800 during his tenure. He published significant works, particularly relating to dairy farming, and played an important role in the growth of international farming yields in the austere post-war period. It was said of Boutflour, on his death in 1961, that he was "... the most capable, colourful and forceful character that ever adorned the fields of agriculture".Single worm hole to approximately the last 24 leaves. Upper joint worn, tear to pp67 and 186 not affecting text, insert patch repair to one leaf top corner, also repair to a small tear top of page (see images) elsewhere there are a couple of slight tears including one to first text page.

Lezioni di anatomia descrittiva-esterna appicata alle Arti Belle ad uso degli Allievi per il dott. Cav. Alberto Gamba prof. Di anatomia nella Regia Accademia Albertina, TorinoTipografia Litografia Junck, Torino, 1862In-folio (35x27 cm) modesta mezza pelle muta coeva. Frontespizio litografico allegorico raffigurante Asclepio, dio greco della Medicina, serpente attorcigliato al bastone rimirantesi in specchio e Atena, 50 tavole litografate con più figure incise nella Litografia Junck da Mosca. Legatura da studio con difetti ma integra e salda. Minimi difetti ad alcune tavole ma più che buon esemplare. Si aggiunge foglio singolo in-folio ripiegato raffigurante la miologia del corpo umano tratto da Il disegnatore italiano studi progressivi Carlo Aliprandi Editore MIlano. Interessante atlante anatomico in cui volti, occhi, nasi, bocche, orecchie, corpi umani (e loro parti) in guisa muscolo-scheletrico e cadaveri sono raffigurati con studio delle proporzioni e del movimento. L'interesse degli exempla osteologici, miologici e anatomici delle forme esterne ed interne del capo, collo, seni, glutei, tronco, arti, risiede non solo e non tanto nella precisione ma nella indicazione delle differenze relative all'età, al sesso, ai gruppi etnici, ai singoli individui per temperamento, loro proporzioni e canoni ideali (con calcoli matematici): traspare, infatti, chiaramente la lezione della fisiognomica e delle ricerche lombrosiane. Il barone torinese Alberto Gamba fu docente di Anatomia estetica all' Accademia Albertina, direttore Sanitario delle Scuole per Rachitici di Torino e (1892) primo Presidente della Societa' Italiana di Ortopedia.

Legatura in pelle sui dorsi e in parte dei piatti con motivi geometrici a losanga e fregi incisi. Tasselli triangolari in ferro sui lati dei piatti, in alcune parti mancanti, un tempo provvisti di legatura in ferro. Fori di tarlo nel testo, diverse pagine centrali asportate, macchie di umidità.

Non si è in grado di definire il grado di parentela con gli altri Giolito tipografi, anche se si dà per probabile che fosse cugino di Giovanni senior.Non si sa esattamente quando si trasferì in Veneto, ma era a Padova nel 1480, dove collaborava con G. Herbort di Seligenstadt, nella bottega del quale probabilmente rimase fino al 1482. L'anno successivo si mise in proprio e il primo libro da lui stampato uscì il 30 marzo 1483: si tratta del Liber nonus ad Almansorem del famoso medico Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Zakariyyā ar-Rāzī (865-923), noto in Occidente con il nome di Rhazes. Il G. stampava a Venezia, dove abitava "in contrata sancti Mauritij", ma manteneva un punto d'appoggio a Padova: il 15 dic. 1483, infatti, prese in affitto per tre anni una casa "in contrata Burgi Plebis". Il recapito padovano consentiva allo stampatore di mantenere i contatti con l'università, con la quale aveva cominciato a stampare i primi libri. Nell'ottobre 1484 moriva lo Herbort, lasciando al Giolito alcune matrici e relative forme.
