With full-page title-woodcut by Hans Burgkmair, some floral woodcut initials, and large woodcut printer's device at the end. 70 unn. leaves. Small folio. Marbled 18th-century boards. (Augsburg, Johannes Miller, 21 March 1515). Editio princeps of Jordanes' (6th cent.) chronicle of the Goths, a primary source of the epoch of the völkerwanderung, together with the exemplary edition of Paulus Diaconus' (or Warnefrid, d. 797) important history of the Langobards, first printed in 1471. Editor of both historical sources is the Augsburg town scribe Conrad Peutinger (1465-1547) with his privilege issued by Emperor Maximilian I, dated 1511, printed on title verso. It is followed by the dedicatory letter to the Italian Count Hieronymus Nogarola, in which Peutinger mentions the astronomer Johannes Stabius as co-editor. Nogarola is known for handing over the keys of the town of Vicenza to Maximilian when he was approaching after the siege of Padova. At the end of Jordanes' work, Peutinger gives a short summary of the epoch of the decline of the Roman Empire and the migration of nations. The impressing title-woodcut by Burgkmair, executed by Jost Dienecker, according to Muther one of his most important works, shows the Langobardian king Alboinus talking to Athanaric, king of the Goths. - Old name and note on first paste-down, title somewhat dustsoiled and with old ms. note on lower white margin, contemp. ms. marginal notes and underlinings throughout, margins cropped affecting some written or printed marginal notes. - VD 16 J 932; STC (German) 463; Adams J-320; Proctor 10826; Fairfax Murray 229 (illus.); Potthast 682 (Jordanes) and 900 (Paulus Diaconus, "Wirklich vortreffliche Ausgabe"); Brunet III, 567; Apponyi 109 (calls for 64 leaves only); Muther 868; ADB XXV, 565 (Peutinger, "trefflich bearbeitet").

BONAVENTURA VULCANIUS (30 June 1538, Bruges 9 October 1614, Leiden) was a leading personality in Dutch humanism of the 16th and 17th century. His father, Pieter de Smet, who already was known by the Latinized version of his name, Petrus Vulcanius ("the blacksmith"), was attorney-general of the Grand Council of Mechlin and counted Erasmus among his friends. He gave his son a thorough education, and Bonaventura studied first in Ghent, then for two years medicine at the University of Leuven, and finally philosophy and literature at Cologne with George Cassander. In 1559 he went to Spain to become the secretary to Francisco Mendoza de Bobadilla, bishop of Burgos, until the latter's death in 1566. He then became the secretary to the bishop's brother in Toledo until he died in 1570. Hereafter Vulcanius obtained a professorship of Greek in Cologne (though he never got to teach), then worked for the printer Henri Estienne in Geneva, and for the publisher Froben in Basel. In 1575, while in Geneva, he published (through Estienne) a scholarly edition of the Historia Alexandri of Arrian, incorporating a new Latin translation. In 1577 he returned to his native Flanders, and became secretary and family tutor of Marnix van Sint Aldegonde, diplomat, burgomaster of Antwerp and friend of William the Silent. In 1578 he was appointed professor in Latin and Greek at Leiden University, where in 1581 he (finally) arrived and where for 30 years he 'taught the future elite of the Dutch Republic', among them Daniel Heinsius and Hugo Grotius. Vulcanius had access to the silver-on-purple codex containing the surviving portion of the ancient Gothic translation of the Bible by Bishop Wulfila or Ulphilas. IN 1597 HE PUBLISHED THE TEXT, THE FIRST PUBLICATION OF A GOTHIC TEXT ALTOGETHER. HE GAVE THE MANUSCRIPT THE NAME BY WHICH IT IS STILL KNOWN, CODEX ARGENTEUS, FROM THE LATIN WORD FOR SILVER.
