CICERO, EPISTOLAE AD BRUTUM,
CICERO, EPISTOLAE AD BRUTUM, INCUNABULA 1499 Marcus Tulius Cicero and Cornelius Nepos. Epistolae ad Brutum, ad Quintum fratem, ad Atticum. Hoc in volumine haec continentur Epistola ad Augustinum Mapheum per Bartholmeum salicetu(m) Bononiensem: & Ludovicu(m) Regiu(m) Coreliensem. Published 1499, Phillipus Pincius, Venice. This is the rare second Pincius edition of Cicero?s "Epostolae ad Brutum," his "Letters" adding to his 1496 edition a note by Julius Pomponius Laetus, the Italian humanist and frequent commentator of classics. Edited by Bartholomaeus Salicetus and Ludovicus Regius. Cicero, the famed Roman orator and statesman, enjoyed a revival of thought in the early modern era; works by Cicero were amply reprinted in centers of print and study. The period of history covered by Cicero?s letters is one of the most interesting and momentous of all time; Venetian thinkers would have voraciously read the Ciceronian compositions. In this particular copy the Latin marginalia gives some primary source evidence of interaction with the principles and persons covered in Cicero?s letters. This text would form the foundation of other letter writing traditions such as Horace?s epistles, Ovid?s exile poetry, and the letters of Christian writers. Bound with a vellum spine and paper boards.
This copy enhanced with contemporary annotations including a subject index and extensive Latin marginalia.

Printed by Cicero Stuttgart in Germany. Framed Print Media Dimensions: 32 3/4" x 18 3/4" sight. 33 1/2" x 19 3/4" frame. Provenance: Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, born in 1928, defied categorization. His precociousness and early exposure to Montessori education, combined with the need to conceal his Jewish heritage while living in a Nazi regime, contributed to the unique style of his work. Hundertwasser's paintingsdisplayed complex curved lines and intricate details, and robust color defined his originality.Following WWII, Hundertwasser began a life of travel, inviting influences from around the world. His travels to places as disparate as Morocco, Tunisia, Nepal, Tokyo,and Siberia influenced an ever-evolving artistic style and helped him establish a global reputation. Japanese master carvers selected Hundertwasser's artand prints for their Western carving projects, and Austria, Senegal, and the UN commissioned him to design sovereign stamps and coins. Beyond painting,Hundertwasser'sinterests extended to architecture, environmentalism, and popular autonomy. Collectors can find a wide range of styles and genres of modern paintings for sale online and at auction.
