BUDÉ (Guillaume) De Asse et / partibus eius libri quinq[ue} Paris], in typographia Ascensiana [Josse Baden], January 1527, in-folio, [8] ff. n. ch. (rubriced title in a beautiful engraved frame with large vignette by Josse Baden, preface, table), CCVIII ff.., signatures at, then a-z, and A-C, one unencumbered leaf of errata, and one blank leaf, fully set text, brown calf on wooden ais, cold embossed spine, large plates of cold stamping on the covers, traces of old side clasps (period binding). Clumsy old restorations to headdresses and upper hinge. This treatise on the ancient coins of the Romans is the best known work of the humanist Guillaume Budé (1467-1540). First published in 1514 by the same Josse Bade, who moved from Lyon to Paris in 1503 and established a famous workshop there, first on rue des Carmes, then on rue Saint-Jacques, and was active until 1535. It was reissued many times. Our text picks up and extends the 1524 edition, and forms the fourth Parisian release. Linked with another title by Budé, in two parts: Annotatio-/nes Gulielmi Budaei Parisiensis / secretarii Regii, in quattuor / et viginti Pandectarum libros, / ad Ioannem Deganaium Cancel-/larium Franciae / Accuratius nitidiusq[ue] ab Iodoco Badio Ascensio / nuper impressae. Paris], sub prelo Ascensino , ad VIII Calendas februarias M.D.XXVIII [1527 under the title for the first part, 1528 for the second], two parts : 10] ff. n. ch. (title in black in a frame engraved with a vignette by Josse Bade, preface, table), CLXXVIII ff., signed at, then A-Y, [4] ff. n. ch. (relay title, dedication, table), LXX ff., sign. to, then A-I. Renouard, Editions parisiennes, III, 1152 and 1394. The first edition of the first part was given in 1508, also by Josse Baden. The second part (Altera editio annotationum in Pandectas) is here in its original edition; although it complements the first, it often tends to stand alone.
