Frankfurt Francofurti Apud heredes Andreae Wecheli Claudium Marnium & Iohannem Aubrium 1596. 8vo. XXIV992 recte 984 p. Vellum. 17 cm. <Important edition of the Physics one of Aristotle's principal works> Ref: VD16 A 3554; Hoffmann 1286: 'Durch d. Vergleich v. Heidelb. Mss. hat d. Ausg. krit. Werth'; Cranz 'A bibliography of Aristotle editions 1501-1600' no. 108.745'; cf. Neue Pauly Supplementband 2 p. 73 where Pacius' edition of the complete Aristotle Geneva 1597 is mentioned Details: 5 thongs laced through the joints 2 of them are broken. Woodcut printer's mark on the title depicting the winged horse Pegasus gracefully arched over a caduceus and 2 intertwined cornucopiae. Edges dyed gray/blue. The Greek text and the opposing Latin translation the first 336 pages are printed in 2 columns Condition: Vellum scuffed spotted and worn to the extremes. Upper joint split for the greater part. Back somewhat damaged. Occasional contemporary ink underlinings & annotations.Note: 'The influence of Aristotle 384-322 BC on Western intellectual life is immense so much so that once one begins to track it no field of inquiry can be identified that it would be safe to overlook. Aristotle laid the foundations for not one but two sciences logic and biology an achievement unmatched by any thinker before or since'. The Classical Tradition Cambr. Mass. 2010 p. 70 For centuries his authority was so great that it prevented the further development of some of the sciences e.g. astronomy. A.E. Taylor who thought that the qualifications of Aristotle as a man of science have been much overrated argues that Aristotle's ascendancy over thought in certain areas biology astronomy is to be regretted on account of his physical doctrines. The early 17th century English philosopher Francis Bacon found the veneration for Aristotle one of the chief hindrances to the free development of natural science. A.E. Taylor 'Aristotle' N.Y. 1955 p. 61/62 Nevertheless the Phusik�s akroase�s or Naturalis auscultatio nowadays known as the Physics or Physica is one of the most important works of Aristotle. The title Physics is misleading to a modern reader 'as a matter of fact the ancient name for it is phusik�s akr�asis' i.e. Lectures literally 'hearing' on Nature. It discusses not such laws as are generally studied by a modern physicist but rather the fundamental ideas of matter motion and so forth leading up to the famous conception of God as the ummoved mover of the whole'. H.J. Rose 'A History of Greek Literature London 1965 p. 274/75 � This 1596 edition of Aristotle's Physics was produced by the Italian Aristotelian scholar Julius Pacius a Berige or in Italian Giulio Pace de Beriga 1550-1635. He had protestant sympathies and had to flee to Geneva. He was an itinerant scholar he was professor in Geneva from 1575 to 1585. He taught law at the University of Heidelberg from 1585 to 1595. Later we find him teaching Greek and law at the Academy of Sedan the Universities of Nimes Leiden Grenoble Montpelliere Valence and finally at Padua. Pacius showed a humanist's concern for the accurate establishment of the Greek texts and their accurate translation into Latin. He was the editor translator and commentator of Aristotle's Organon 1584 1585 1591 1597 Wechel at Frankfurt 1598 1605 1617 1682 one of the most widely used editions of his time. His edition of the Phusik�s akroase�s of 1596 was repeated in 1608 and in 1629. Pacius who was a jurist too edited also the Corpus Juris which was reissued several times. J. Berriat-Saint-Prix 'Notice sur Julius Pacius a Beriga jurisconsulte et philosophe des XVIe et XVIIe si�cles' Paris 1840; easier but much shorter Pacius' lemma in Wikipedia Provenance: Two bookplates and a small inscription on the front pastedown which belong together. The first is an armorial bookplate: 'Ex libris Hans Schless'. The second bookplate: 'Ex libris D.F.' It depicts some pharmacist's paraphanalia. The inscription on the pastedown below these two bookplates explains it all: 'Skaenket Dansk Farmaceutforening Bibliotek af Hans Schlesch 8 III 1955'. This book was donated to the Library of the Danish Union of Pharmacists D.F. by Hans Schlesch in March 1955. Dr. Hans Schlesch 1891-1962 was a Danish malacologist and shell-collector of worldfame. He wrote numerous articles. � On the front flyleaf the name: 'G.L. Buhrke 1828'. � On the title the ownership inscription: 'Joannes Stille comparavi Brunsvigae anno 1644'. Not much is known about this Johannes Stille. The most substantial is perhaps the mentioning of him if it is him in a history of the University of Rindeln. Here it is told that he died in 1660 and that he was a member of 'philosophische Fakult�t welche als eine Vorschule der Theologie mit Recht betrachtet wurde'. F.K.Th. Piderit 'Geschichte der Hessisch-Schaumburgischen Universit�t Rinteln' Marburg 1842 Perhaps the same Stille produced in 1646 in Helmstedt this dissertation: 'Disputatio philosophica continens quaestiones miscellaneas quam dirigente divino numine sub prae-sidio viri clarissimi & excellentissimi Dn. M. Johannis � Felden math. P. P. examinandam proponit Johannes Stille Hannoveranus'. One Johannes Stille studied some time in Leiden; in the Album Studiosorum of that University it is recorded that he was born in 1622 Collation: 4 8 A-2P8 2Q4 Photographs on request hardcover

Small stamp on the verso of the title. A strip of the blank uppermargin of the title torn off without affecting the text. Some contemporary ink marginalia Note: The Greek scholar Aristotle 384-322 B.C. is one of the foremost names in the history of thought and perhaps the most influential of all who have ever written. His influence on Western science and culture is immense. Aristotle's treatise 'Nicomachean Ethics' is perhaps 'the greatest and most famous of all works on morals certainly the most notable exposition of Greek ethics. The title is derived from the name on Aristotle's son Nikomachos . It falls into ten books and its fundamental principle is the doctrine of the Mean according to which every virtue is a proper blend of two opposed and non-moral tendencies as courage of fear and daring and lies between two vices resulting from the exaggeration of one tendency or the other'. H.J. Rose 'A history of Greek literature' London 1965 p. 275/76 � This Heidelberg edition of 1560 is a reissue of an edition with the same title which was published in Paris in 1555 and edited by the French scholar Adrianus Turnebus Adrien Tourn�be 1512-1565 professor of Greek in that city and a specialist in Greek textual criticism. In the preface Adrianus Turnebus lectori to the 1555 edition repeated in this 1560 edition Turnebus declares that he edited the Nicomachean Ethics with the help of Pier Vettori's observations ex Petri Victorii observationibus and some very old manuscripts ex vetustis aliquot exemplaribus. He also realized that this Greek text should also be accessible to students of philosophy who knew only Latin. It was necessary therefore to correct and emend the Latin text. Because translators from Greek into Latin added always something of their own ideas to a translation de suo quaedam addentes or made the Latin text much longer by explaning paraphrases paraphrasibus Graeca explicantes it is not possible to bring the Latin translation into line with the original Greek text ut singula singulis responderent. To avoid an uneven division of the text and translation he thought it necessary to make a translation that connected the Latin translation to the Greek text Graeca & Latina coniungerentur. Adrianus Turnebus lectori page a2 recto & verso The Greek text of the edition of 1555 of Turnebus was based on the edition of 1547 which was published by the Italian scholar Pier Vettori in Florence Provenance: On the front pastedown a small name: 'Nagel'. � On the front flyleaf the ownership entry of: 'Daniel Walasser Giengensis'. Who this Daniel Walasser of Gien a French city in the department of Loiret was we could not find out. � On the same leaf also: 'Ex libris Jacobi Zenetti 1821'. The German 'Privatgelehrte und Schriftsteller' Jakob Zenetti 1801-1844 received his doctor's degree in 1829 at the University Ingolstadt-Landshut-M�nchen. He lived in Augsburg and seems to have been a philanthropist. The Zenettistreet in Augsburg is called after him. He wrote 'Einfluss der Philosophie auf das Leben' second edition Augsburg 1842 and some poetry e.g. 'Der �gyptische Joseph: in vier Ges�ngen' Augsburg 1843. � On the title below the imprint the initials D.W. � On the verso of the title a small and round stamp: 'Sammlung des Dr. Hans Hasso v. Veltheim'. In the centre of the stamp a coat of arms. Hans-Hasso Freiherr von Ludolf Martin Veltheim Ostrau 1885-1956 was a German Indologist anthroposophist Far East traveler occultist and author. He was of old Saxon nobility. He published several books about his travels through East Asia.
