Title with ornamental vignette 8 woodcut figures on 4 leaves woodcut figures and diagrams in text; occasional minor stains some light damps stains early minor ink marginalia/corrections p.168 202-3 and the annotated on all 8 woodcut figs. at rear. Modern antique-style quarter speckled calf marbled boards with neat gilt-stamped title label all red edges. Bookplate of J.A. Freilich. Near fine. TWELFTH CENTURY STUDY ESTABLISHING OPTICS IN THE WEST BASED PARTIALLY ON THE SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENT OF ALHAZEN. First edition with Combach's contribution. "This is one of Roger Bacon's most significant works in which optics is assumed to be 'the fundamental physical science.' DSB. Bacon's treatise covers the anatomy and psychology of vision exemplified clearly by woodcuts throughout the text he also discusses the laws of refraction and reflexion as well as the construction of lenses and mirrors foreseeing the microscope and telescope." Freilich-Sotheby. / This work forms the foundation of the study of optics. The science that Roger Bacon most fully mastered was the study of light and vision later becomes the science of optics. His great treatment of the subject the Perspectiva written in about 1260 was the first book by a European to display a full mastery of Greek and Arabic treatises on the subject and through it Bacon was instrumental in defining this scientific discipline for the next 350 years. This was part of a highly ambitious work "of his ideas on learning and its applicability to the problems confronting Christendom." Lindberg. His Opus maius was sent to the Pope in 1267 in hopes of gaining his support. / "Perspectiva devoted to light colour and vision was one of the new subjects taken up by Bacon in the late 1240s and it became one of his major preoccupations. On several occasions Bacon addressed the merits of this science. He began his treatise on perspectiva part V of the Opus maius by promising that: 'if our deliberations to this point have been beautiful and delightful the matters now to be considered are far more beautiful and delightful because we take special delight in vision and because light and colour have singular beauty exceeding that of the other things that are conveyed to our senses.' / "But it is not simply the beauty and delight furnished by light colour and vision that recommend them to us; they also possess epistemic superiority. It is through vision that 'we experience everything in the heavens and on earth. For celestial objects are observed by means by visual instruments as Ptolemy and other astronomers teach as are things generated in the air such as comets rainbows and the like; for their altitude above the horizon their size shape and number and everything in them are certified by means of vision aided by instruments. Through vision we also experience things here on earth for concerning this world the blind can have no experience worthy of the name.'" Lindberg. / "Bacon had a very wide reading knowledge of most of the newly translated work from Greek Jewish and Islamic Philosophy and Science. His major claim to fame in science is that he is the first Latin Western thinker to comprehend and write on most of the ancient sources of optics. In brief he initiates the tradition of Optics/Perspectiva in the Latin world. This tradition would be formulated as teaching text by his contemporaries Pecham and Witelo and then taken up by the tradition leading to Kepler and Descartes. In his Perspectiva and De scientia experimentali Bacon outlines a sketch for a scientific method one that takes optics as the model for an experimental science. In fact he succeeded in his endeavor in that Perspectiva was added to the four traditional university subjects of the quadrivium: arithmetic geometry astronomy music." Bacon shows his familiarity with the work of Alhacen's Ibn al-Haytham's Optics. "Bacon is mainly concerned with Aristotle's definition of experience in the Metaphysics and Posterior Analytics although one already notices that he relates the Aristotelian subject matter to the discussion in Alhacen's Perspectiva. Nevertheless it is also important to note that these Aristotelian concerns with Experimentum are repeated in 1267 at the beginning of Opus majus Part Six on exprimental science and thus Aristotle's Metaphysics Posterior Analytics and Meteorology together with the Optics of Ibn al-Haytham will form the necessary philosophical background for Bacon's later c. 1266 notions of the experimental sciences." -- Jeremiah Hackett in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. / Johannes Combachius 1585-1651 Combach professor of philosophy and later theology at Marburg and author of Metaphysicorum liber singularis. He was closely aligned with Rosicrucianism. The preface to this work is addressed to the Rosicrucians. PROVENANCE: Joseph A. Freilich sold his mineralogical collection and library of books at Sotheby's NY January 10-11 2001. See: The Scientific Library of Joseph A. Freilich. Sale 7585. The work was rebound after that time.
