BADIUS, Jodocus Ascensius (1462-1535). Stultiferae naviculae seu scaphe fatuarum multierum: circa sensus quinque exteriors fraude navigantium . Edited by Jakob Wimpheling. Strassburg: Johann Prüss, 1502. Small 4 o (197 x 139 mm). Collation : A 4 B 6 C, D 4 E 6 . Large woodcut on title, six woodcuts in text, one fully colored and another partly colored by hand. Capitals and initial strokes in red. Modern binding of old manuscript vellum. Provenance: Fernand Heitz (1891-1963), of Colmar (bookplate); acquired E.P. Goldschmidt, 1966. Second edition of Josse Bade of Assche's "Ship of Female Fools," a supplementary diatribe to Sebastian Brant's Ship of Fools , which he had translated into Latin. It was first printed in Paris by Thielman Kerver in 1498. Bade explains in his address to Marnef, the publisher of the original Paris Latin edition of Brandt (1500), that this work is meant to supply an omission by Brandt, namely the satirical chapters on the faults and follies of women. The six woodcuts are close adaptations of the Parisian originals, and illustrate the six chapters written in Latin verse and prose. They depict the Ships of Eve, and those of the five senses. The first woodcut shows Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge, rowed by two fools. The title woodcut is taken from the 1494 Grüninger edition of Brandt. VERY RARE: according to American Book Prices Current , no copies have sold at auction since 1967. Adams B-24; Pr 9961; Renouard Badius II:79. Fact and Fantasy 11.
