eBay Mercurij Maioris, Sive Grammaticarum Institutionum Libri X Lazzaroni, Agostino Saturnio; Saturnius, Augustus; Augustini Saturnii Lazaronei Venice Cominum De Tridino Montisferrati 1556 Vellum 8vo 8″ – 9″ tall [8], 418 (incorrectly numbered as 304) , [25] pages. Last blank DD8 used as final pastedown. Signatures *8A-DD8. Small octavo. Full contemporary vellum with remains of ties, spine has nice old handwritten title, bottom corner of spine covering chipped away. Interior no front blank. Date and printer from colophon at rear. Title page a bit grubby, old handwriting looks like printing information. Woodcut initials throughout, occasional small spotting or foxing but otherwise clean and unmarked. Quite scarce, none for sale, only one auction record in the last 50 years, very few copies in North America and the Venice edition is even more unusual. OCLC 54264161. The Mercurius Major is the principal work of the enigmatic grammarian Augustinus Saturnius (Agostino Saturnio) , which attracted much praise and opprobrium in the late Renaissance, clearly a controversial work and now for the most part forgotten, hence its scarcity. It has been viewed as a prime example of a “humanistic grammar”, with something of an “eclectic philosophy” — in the mode of philosophising grammarians of the late Renaissance; following in the tradition of Priscian as well as later mediaeval grammarians, but adding a touch of the “modern” as well, along with critiques of earlier modes; representative of the earliest beginnings of the science of linguistics. [see Lurhman: Augustinus Saturnius Laza and His Place in the Grammatical Tradition] Hence, as with other early Italian Latin grammars, it places great emphasis on the verb (Saturnius was a controversial pioneer in treatment of the impersonal verb). It was designed as an advanced grammar and the first seven chapters are devoted to detailed and theoretical issues of language, surprisingly more Aristotlean than Platonic, with a refreshing take (contra to a degree to such rational eminences as Scaliger) on the arbitrariness of Latin as a language; ie, It was clearly not developed solely by reason — Saturnius compares the grammaticality of Latin to a monetary system, which clearly depends on usage. Nevertheless it is a subtle argument; Saturnius was a pioneering “rational” grammarian who advocated such a clear-headed rational approach to the study of Latin. “For Saturnius, humanist grammarians had rambled by worshiping contemporary authorities, such as Valla, which led them astray from reason and truth. Instead, they should worship Mercurius, the paradigm of wisdom and eloquence. [see Alegre: Humanist Networks and Keepers of Ancient Wisdom]. Saturnius was not without his critics, most notably the very influential El Brocensce (Francisco Sánchez de las Brozas 1523–1600 ) whose famous and much republished grammar, Minerva sive de causis linguae latinae, was in fact titled in opposition to Saturnius’, ie, Minerva versus Mercurius . Although in the preface of his book, Le Brocensce praises Saturnius and “his very acute disquisitions about grammar”, he later rages against Saturnius and his “completel foolish and shameless” attacks on the Roman grammarian Priscian, and promises that his Minerva will replace Mercurius, which indeed it did. El Brocensce finally closes with “May the gods annihilate you, Saturnius, and these trifles of yours! ” — although in fact most of Saturnius’ Mercurius is in agreement with, and came before, Le Brocensce’s Minerva, hence the importance of this book. All in all, a fascinating and rare look at a now forgotten chapter of early scientific linguistics. Who says the study of grammar is boring!
