‎First Edition in English of Descartes Earliest Surviving Work DESCARTES RenÈ. Excellent Compendium of Musick: with Necessary and Judicious Animadversions Thereupon. By a Person of Honour. London: Printed by Thomas Harper for Humphrey Moseley 1653. First English edition. Small quarto 7 5/16 x 5 3/8 inches; 187 x 135 mm. 16 94 1 errata 1 blank pp. Two parts in one volume. With three engraved plates and with numerous woodcuts including head-and-tail pieces and initials. Title-pages with woodcut vignette. Much of the illustrations are of musical notes staffs and various charts relating to music theory. Also with a detailed and attractive engraving of a lute. The translator the "Person of Honour" refers to Lord Brouncker. His name has been printed neatly on the title-page in old ink by a previous owner. A separate title-page for Animadversions vpon the musick-compendium of Renat. Des-Cartes is included but the pagination and collation is continuous. Modern half calf over marbled boards. Morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Newer endpapers. Front pastedown with previous owner's bookplate. Some toning and spotting throughout the first two leaves being the worst. Tiny burn hole to top margin of two leaves in the "To the Reader" not affecting text. Written in 1618 when he was 22 the Compendium was not published until after his death. "Although it is his earliest surviving work the Compendium was not published until 1650 shortly after his death in Stockholm. The English translation was published in 1653 by William Brouncker 2nd Viscount Brouncker 1620ñ1684 a mathematician who became the first President of the Royal Society in 1662 and was a close friend of both Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn. He is named on the title page of the Compendium as a "Person of Honour" and his commentary the "animadversions" on Descartes work constitute his only publication. They include an unsuccessful mathematical attempt to divide the diapason into seventeen equal semitones. Descartesí study of the mathematical basis of music was also an examination of methodology: the application of empirical deductive and scientific approaches to the study of sensory perception. It is thus among the earliest attempts to define the dual relationship between the physical and psychological phenomena in music." Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library University of Toronto. ESTC R13570.

‎U.S.S.R. 1960. Classroom poster of pioneering French mathematician scientist and philosopher Rene Descartes 1596-1650 part of the "Cabinet of Mathematics" series designed to be displayed in Soviet schools. Descartes's important contributions to mathematics included the development of Cartesian geometry which laid the groundwork for calculus later in the seventeenth century. Captioned with his name in Cyrillic and dates this portrait of Descartes maintains direct eye contact with its presumably captive viewers. A compelling artifact of Soviet mathematical education during the Cold War. Color-printed educational poster measuring 18.75 x 14.75 inches mounted to stiff cardboard backing with two punched holes and cord for hanging. Numeral "2" stamped to verso with ink notation. A few faint splashmarks. unknown books‎

‎Paris: Bobin & Le Gras 1668. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 55 477 pp 2. With 22 full-page woodcuts 1 folding and 70 woodcut illustrations in text. Ink ownership inscription of Raymond Vieussens to front pastedown & shelf mark on front free endpaper. Bound in contemporary French calf spine in six compartments with gilt florets and title; some wear to boards but generally an excellent copy clean and fresh. Scarce edition of Descartes' magnum opus bearing the manuscript ex-libris of Raymond Vieussens 1635-1715 Royal Physician to Louis XIV and an important anatomist in his own right. Drawing directly on the dualistic theories of Descartes Vieussens became fascinated by the actions of the heart and of the brain in particular. "In his speculations on physiology Vieussens drew inspiration from both the mechanistic philosophy of Descartes and the iatrochemical ideas of F. de la Boë Sylvius. He believed that he had demonstrated the existence of the nervous fluid." DSB "Without Descartes the seventeenth-century mechanization of physiological conceptions would have been inconceivable" notes the DSB ".No other great philosopher except perhaps Aristotle can have spent so much time in expermintal observation. According to Baillet over several years he studied anatomy dissected and vivisected embryos of birds and cattle and went on to study chemistry. His correspondence from the Netherlands described dissections of dogs cats rabbits cod and mackerel; eyes livers and hearts obtained from an abattoir.". Descartes' magnum opus his Principia Philosophiae presented to the world the purest expression of his mechanist vision of the universe seized upon eagerly by later anatomists such as Thomas Willis Nicolas Steno and as is evident from the present copy Raymond Vieussens. Intended to replace the Aristotelian texts used in universities with a curriculum based on physical and immutable laws of nature Descartes' Principles especially in its French editions comes replete with numerous plates of his famous swirling vortices as well as discussions of the Copernican system. Curiously as C. F. Fowler has noted a direct reference to the Principia is lacking from the Index Librorum Prohibitorum of 1664 which otherwise banned most of Descartes' works - although a blanket clause is also given "and the philosophical works of same author". Evidently the decree of the Catholic Church disuaded neither French publishers from printing the work nor the Royal Physician from purchasing it! In particular Veussens seems to have been inspired by the Cartesian concept of cerebral localization; but while Descartes considered the pineal body to be the seat of animal spirits and the soul Veussens regarded the corpora striata as the seat of the imagination. "Inspired by both Descartes's mechanistic and the iatrochemical philosophies Vieussens studied the white matter of the brain by tracing the path of its fibers" Schlager & Lauer eventually providing us with an early description of the brain's centrum semiovale sometimes referred to as Vieussens' centrum. Following his well-received Neurographica Universalis 1685 the Royal Physician issued his Traité nouveau des Liqeurs de Corps Humain 1705 in which he describes the three Cartesian elements in detail and their functions within the body.
