Philipp von Maugis
This decorative scheme had been established by the “Mendoza Binder”, a craftsman working in Venice from about 1520-1550, for the active collector Diego Hurtado de Mendoza, Spanish ambassador to Venice from 1539-1547, among other customers. From archival documents in the Escorial, Anthony Hobson tentatively identified him as Andrea di Lorenzo, whose shop, situated in the parish of San Fantin, maintained a loose association with the retail shop of the Aldine press in the Merceria. Hobson designated books bound to this pattern as the “simple style” of the Mendoza Binder’s “trade bindings”, and listed about forty.2 Most have no owner’s name on the upper cover; four are lettered with the name “D. Piero” (Hobson nos. 90, 92, 94-95), four with the initials G.S. (nos. 66, 80, 82, 98), two with the name of Schenk Eberhard XIV, Graf zu Erbach (nos. 74, 85), one with the initials N.G and C.G. (no. 93), and another with the initials HI. C. (no. 81).
Hobson believed that from the mid-1530s onwards, the Mendoza Binder was wholly occupied with commissions from major collectors, such as Hurtado de Mendoza and Johann Jakob Fugger, and ceased to produce such “trade bindings” for the book-buying public. He records just two “trade bindings” on books printed after 1534 (nos. 99, 124). To a different shop, described as an imitator of the Mendoza Binder, he assigns two bindings for Philipp von Maugis, both dated 1537 on their covers (nos. 100b-c, see below), two bindings lettered with the name “Aloisii Iacobini Crotoniatae” on a Strassburg Homerus printed in 1534 (no. 100a; see image, image), and the bindings on the two-volume 1523 Aldine edition of Cicero’s De philosophia (no. 100). The Mendoza Binder’s “trade bindings” typically have the compartments of the spine tooled in blind, whereas the volumes bound for Philipp von Maugis and for Luigi Jacobini from Crotone have plain backs (apart from gilt lines on the bands). This feature might explain why Hobson separated these bindings from the others, except that he illustrates a binding made by the Mendoza Binder for G.S. (no. 80, Fig. 45), which has a plain back. Hobson’s judgment perhaps was based on the rosette and leaf tools at the corners, or else on structural features.
Philipp was the son of Alexander von Maugis, a Kammerdiener at the court of Archduke Ferdinand I, latterly King of Bohemia, Hungary, and Croatia, Roman King, and Holy Roman Emperor. Philipp’s sister, Katharina (d. before 1542), wife of Balthasar Freiherr von Prösing (d. 1559), a royal councillor, was a Kammerfrau at the court of Ferdinand’s consort, Anna of Hungary.3 Philipp was tutored in Innsbruck by the poet Johannes Rosinus, educator of Ferdinand’s own children, and in October 1535 matriculated in Vienna university under Mag. Lucas Agathopedius (Luka Drinak, d. 1562), professor of poetics and rhetoric.4 At the suggestion of Johannes Fabri, bishop of Vienna, and Claudius Cantiuncula, Philipp went to Padua in early 1536 to study civil law under Johann Musler.5 When Musler left Padua in 1538, Philipp departed without a degree. Through the intercession of Ferdinand, he was elected coadjutor to the abbot of St. Lambrecht in Steiermark, however Philipp supposedly could tolerate neither the monastic way of life nor the harsh climate, and he soon resumed his law studies in Vienna.6 In 1541, he entered the clerical state, and on 25 May 1541 became Prior of the Augustiner-Chorherrenstift Herzogenburg in Lower Austria.7 He became a royal councillor in 1545; in 1550, on a journey to Rome for the Jubilee, he fell ill en-route, and died at Grätz, on 23 April 1550.8
Philipp had continued to acquire books after his return from Italy, some of which were bound with a title, Philipp’s name, and acquisition date on their upper covers, like the bindings made for him in Venice (see nos. 4-18 in List below). Philipp bequeathed his library to his monastery (now Stiftsbibliothek Herzogenburg) and later librarians added on the upper pastedown in some volumes an ink inscription “Bibliothecae Ducumburgensis” (Herzogenburg).9 Included in Philipp’s bequest was the library of his brother, Ferdinand. Born in 1520, Ferdinand had matriculated in April 1544 at Wittenberg university,10 where he sat at Luther’s “table” (though he failed to record any conversations). In 1545, Ferdinand travelled with Luther, Luther’s son, Hans, and Georg Cruciger, from Wittenberg via Lobnitz and Leipzig to Zeitz. The same year, he received the dedication of Homeri Odisseae liber undecimus latino carmine redditus (Wittenberg: Veit Kreutzer, 1545), a work by Johann Stigel, professor of poetics (Terenzprofessor) at Wittenberg.11 In 1546, he matriculated at Vienna de Natione Austriaca.12 Ferdinand apparently died soon thereafter, bequeathing his library to Philipp, who interred him in the Marienkapelle of Stift Herzogenburg. It appears that books first began to leak from the library at Stiftsbibliothek Herzogenburg in the 1920s, and sales continued on a much larger scale in the 1960s.13
1. Cantiuncula was one among those who in 1537 urged Philipp to study with Johann Musler in Padua. The jurist Fichard was in Padua from December 1536 to September 1537, where, at Musler’s request, he “crowned” Philipp with a laudatory tetrastich. See Emmanuele Antonio Cicogna, Intorno a Giovanni Muslero da Ottinga, già lettore di civili instituzioni nello studio di Padova (Venice 1858), p.33.
