Attributed to Severo Calzetta da Ravenna (active circa 1496-1543), Italian, Padua, first half 16th century, a bronze model of a kneeling satyr mounted as an oil lamp, portrayed horned and bearded with open mouth, kneeling on his left knee, the spherical lamp, possibly later mounted, relief cast with Sun and stars, held aloft in his raised right hand, the triangular base raised on three bun feet, 24.5cm high PROVENANCE: Private Collection, London CATALOGUE NOTES: Since Planiscig's identification in 1935 of the signature O.SEVERI.RA on a bronze sea-monster with the sculptor Severo da Ravenna, a coherent corpus of bronze statuettes has been attributed to this contemporary of Andrea Riccio. Fifty years later a bronze of a kneeling satyr with the initials SE was convincingly identified as a second autograph model by Severo (Christie's London, 8 July 1981, lot 341). The present kneeling satyr compares closely with the initialled example, especially in the treatment of the teeth and tongue. The long central fringe of hair is, however, distinctly different The globe oil lamp is an unusual accoutrement for the kneeling Satyr model which normally holds a candle nozzle or shell. The globe on the present bronze seems to be based on one held by the Atlas in the Frick Collection, New York which appears to be the finest of several known versions, including those held by another Atlas figure formerly in the Adolph von Beckerath collection and on a variant kneeling Satyr, illustrated Country Life, 6th April 1961, p.753. It is likely, however, that the globe on the present Satyr is a later addition, because it is pinned rather than screwed onto the right hand RELATED LITERATURE D.

Queste due edizioni costituiscono la prima Bibbia in greco apparsa in paesi di lingua tedesca, nonché la terza Bibbia in greco mai stampata.

It is an esteemed work of great rarity: the type and paper are very good, and the punctuation is, in most places, remarkably judicious" (Dibdin, Introduction, p. 85).

"The New Testament, printed by Cephalaeus in 1524 [...] makes the set completed in four volumes. It is an esteemed work of great rarity: the type and paper are very good, and the punctuation is, in most places, remarkably judicious" (Dibdin, Introduction, p. 85). The text was edited by Wolfgang Fabricius Capito (1478-1541), a friend of Erasmus of Rotterdam and one of the chief representatives of the Reformation in Strasbourg, and closely follows the Greek Novum Testamentum edited by Erasmus, which first appeared in 1516. The present edition is of the greatest rarity, and represents the first Greek book issued from the press held by Cephalaeus.
