‎Amsterdam: Daniel Elzevir 1677. Good/The first illustrated Latin edition of this seminal textbook on physiology. Descartes prepared the manuscript in the early 1630s but shelved it when news of Galileo's conviction reached him in 1633. He revisited it in 1648 but was unable to finish the project of provide the necessary illustrations. Editors recovered the manuscript after Descartes died in 1650 and eventually assigned it to Louis de la Forge together with Gerard van Gutschoven for preparation. The "Traité de l'Homme" with extensive notes by La Forge was published in 1664. An expanded version with further development of the text by La Forge came out four years later. Claude Clerselier editor of Descartes' posthumous works translated the 1664 text into Latin and delivered it to Daniel Elzevir for publication. . Small quarto 21 cm; 76 239 pages.

‎De Homine‎

‎Leydon: Peter Leffen & Francis Moyard 1662. First edition. contemporary vellum. Very Good. FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST TEXTBOOK OF PHYSIOLOGY. "René Descartes's Treatise of man De homine 1662; Traité de l'homme 1664 was never intended to stand as a work on its own. It was one part of a much larger work Le monde The world. Although this was finished around 1633 Descartes did not publish it himself because he was alarmed by the Italian Inquisition's condemnation of Galileo Galilei that year. Some time after Descartes's death in 1650 his French manuscript copies of which had circulated among his friends and correspondents was edited and published.  The first version was a Latin translation De homine by Florentius Schuyl in 1662 the second the now better known 'original' French version Traité de l'homme edited by Descartes's self-appointed literary executor Claude Clerselier in 1664. In the seventeenth century the 1662 Latin version was probably much more widely read than the French text" Donaldson J R Coll Physicians Edinb 2009; 39:375-6. Heirs of Hippocrates 295. Garrison-Morton 574. With 10 engraved plates; with 2 lift-up flaps on plate depicting the heart but without flap on plate of the brain as usual; numerous full-page and text engravings and woodcuts. Inscribed on title to Mart. Christian Sweerts "ex dono Autoris". The "author" in this case is most likely the translator Schuyl. De homine figuris et latinitate donatus a Florentio Schuyl. Leyden: Peter Leffen & Francis Moyard 1662. Small quarto contemporary vellum with leather spine label. Evidence of old label at base of spine.

‎Discours de la methode pour bien conduire sa raison & chercher la verité dans les Sciences. Plus la Dioptrique les Meteores la Mechanique…‎

‎Paris: Chez Charles Angot 1668. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to 223 x 160mm. 303pp. xxiii of tables. Full contemporary calf; well rubbed; tear to top of spine. Over 100 fine woodcut diagrams throughout several full-page. Woodcut printer’s device to title; small tear to title at upper right margin slighty browned; slightly rubbed corners bumped. From the collection of J. Richard D.M. Ex Bibliotheca 18th-century armorial rubber stamp to title and p. 3 possibly French 1638-1739. Early Illustrated Edition of Descartes’ Discourse on the Method one of the most influential works in the history of modern philosophy and important to the evolution of natural sciences. This work features Descartes’ famous line “I think therefore I am” which he wrote in French Je pense donc je suis thereby reaching a wider audience in his country than that of scholars. The Discours was originally published in Leiden in 1637. Published also in Paris the same year as this edition is an edition by Bobel and De Gras. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective clear of any preconceived notions. In the Discourse Descartes tackles the problem of skepticism which had previously been studied by Sextus Empiricus Al- Ghazali and Michel de Montaigne. The Discourse divided into six parts was intended as an introduction to three of his works Dioptrique Météores and Géométrie. His statements of the elementary laws of matter and movement in the physical universe the theory of vortices and many other speculations threw light on every branch of science from optics to biology; all this found its starting-point in the Discourse. La Géométrie contains Descartes’ first introduction of the Cartesian coordinate system. Together with his Meditations on First Philosophy Meditationes de Prima Philosophia Principles of Philosophy Principia philosophiae and Rules for the Direction of the Mind Regulae ad directionem ingenii the Discourse forms the base of the Epistemology known as Cartesianism. The Discours “was Descartes’ first published work the much-talked about ‘World’ or ‘Cosmos’ having been suppressed or destroyed on his hearing of the condemnation of Galileo in 1632. In 1636 however when 40 years of age he felt that it was time to bring his views before the public and publish them abroad. Descartes endeavored to preserve the anonymity of his work with scrupulous care…but in the end he found himself compelled to avow his authorship” Osler 928. Descartes’ Discourse thoroughly a foundational work in the history of modern philosophy this augmented edition with many fine woodcuts remaining fresh and bright. <br/><br/> Chez Charles Angot hardcover 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.
