Omnium Gentium Mores, Leges & ritus, ex multis clarissimis rerum scriptoribus, à Ioanne Boëmo Aubano Teutonico nuper collecti, & novissime recogniti. Tribus libris absolutum, Aphricam Asiam & Europam describentibus. Non sine Indice Locupletissimo. Freiburg i. Br., Johann Faber, 1536. 8°. 304 S., 12 unnum. Bl. Index. Mit grosser Holzschnittdruckermarke auf dem Titel. Lederband des 18. Jhs. mit reicher Rückenvergoldung. (Etwas berieben und bestossen). VD16 B-6311. Diese Ausgabe nicht bei Adams. Sabin 6117. Apponyi 1637. nicht bei Gay (Afrique), Göllner (Turcica) und Tobler (Palästina). Frühe, umfänglich erweiterte und sehr seltene Ausgabe dieses europäischen Bestsellers des 16. Jhs., der unmittelbar nach der Erstausgabe von 1520 in zahlreichen Nachdrucken und Übersetzungen ins Deutsche, Italienische, Französische, Spanische, Tschechische und Englische; bis 1620 erschienen allein mehr als 30 lateinische Ausgaben. Der Humanist Böhm (um 1485 - 1533/35) aus dem schwäbischen Aub war Kaplan am Deutschritterhaus in Ulm, er verbrachte aber die meiste seiner Lebenszeit in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, wo er vermutlich auch verstarb. Im Geheimen sympathisierte er mit dem Luthertum. M.T.Hodgen, Early Anthropologyin the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Philadelphia 1964, S. 131ff: "Boemus made his simple purpose very clear. There were two of them. He wished, first to make accessible to the ordinary reader an already not inconsiderable body of kowledge concerning the variety of human behaviour, to arrange it on a broad geographical plan, with the geographical features subordinatedto the ethnological, and to use the printed page for assembling and exhibiting the range of human custom, ritual and ceremony. Second, in the interest of improved political morality, he desired to inform his readers concerning the laws and governments of other nations . His collection of ethnological descriptions begins with Africa . Later, when he turned to the manners and costums of Asiatic and European peoples, the geographical stage becomes broader, and the cultural panorama wider and more familiar. In Asia, it was the ten 'most famous' nations which received his attention: Panchaia, a region of Arabia; Assyria and Babylonia; Medea and Parthia, Persia, Scythia, India, Tartaria and Turkey. In Europe, working from the west by north, he described twenty-nine areas, many of them neighbors of his own Germanic home: Greece, Russia, Lithuania, Livonia, Prussia, Poland, Hungary, Bohemia, Saxony, Westphalia, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and Britain . With the clear inetnion of isolating the major social institutions for inspection, and with some degree of orderliness, Boemus placed special emphasis on divergence in marriage and the family, divergences in social organisation, in religious, funeral rites, weapons, warfare, justice, diet, and apparel. Out of about twenty-five peoples to whom he gave his most detailed attention, he described the institution of marriage (inlcuding the morality of women and child care) for twenty-three; religion for eighteen; funeral rites for seventeen, weapons and warfare for fourteen; diet for twelve, and so on". Böhms Werk war von grossem Einfluss auf Sebastian Münsters Cosmographie. Auch Jean Bodin, Edmund Spencer, Montaigne und viele andere kannten und schätzen es. Titelblatt angeschmutzt und mit handschriftlichem Eintrag am Fuss. Durchgehend Feuchtigkeitsspur im Unterrand. Vorsätze leimschattig. Besitzeintrag J. Morio de Landia auf dem Titel, auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz Besitzeintrag Per Hierta, Främmestad, mit Datum von 1905. - Der Anfang der Ethnologie.
