Venice Venetiis Apud Juntas 1603. 4to. XLIV600 p. Overlapping vellum 23 cm Ref: Hoffmann 3563; Schweiger 1331; Ebert 22957 Details: Two thongs laced through the joints. Gilt red morocco letterpiece on the back. Printer's mark of the Giunta family on the title: a fleur-de-lys. Woodcut initials good paper fine printing Condition: old and small inscription on front pastedown; a bigger one on the front flyleaf. Name and a faint small inkstain on the title. Some very small wormholes near the lower edge keeping far away from any text; holes have occasionally been mended with a layer of thin paper Note: This volume contains the exhaustive and learned lecture notes of Fabio Paolino da Udine or Fabius Paulinus Utinensis on the description of the plague epidemy by the Greek historian Thucydides Thuc. Hist. 2.47-58. This epidemy reached the war-stricken city of Athens in 430 B.C. at the beginning of the Peloponnesian war which lasted from 431 till 404 B.C. Thucydides is the first to describe the social upheaval of a pandemy and its consequences. The identification of what was the cause of this pandemy is until this day a matter of controversy. Fabius Paulinus Utinensis born at Udine ca. 1535 was the very man for a commentary on this subject. 'His first training in Greek and Latin was at Venice with Bernardino Partenio. Later he went to Padua where he graduated in philosophy and medicine but studied rhetoric and Arabic as well. He practiced medicin for a time before he became public professor at Venice where he taught Greek in the School of San Marco and Latin in the Collegio de'Notai. Both chairs he obtained in 1588 as the successor of Bernardino Partenio'. 'Medieval and Renaissance Latin translations and commentaries vol. 8' Washington 2003 p. 180. Paulinus held his lectures in the library of the San Marco Gymnasium. The work starts with a list of 232 questions concerning the possible causes of the pest. Each chapter is preceded by the relevant Greek text and a Latin translation. § On the flyleaf a former owner has written a quotation from Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' chapter XLIII note 90: 'I was indebted to Dr. Hunter for an elaborate commentary on this part of Thucydides the plague of Athens a quarto of 600 pages Ven. 1603 apud Juntas which was pronounced in St. Marks Library by Fabius Paullinus sic Utinensis a physician and philosopher'. These passages of Thucydides helped Gibbon to understand the impact of the pest epidemy which ravaged Konstantinople in 542 under the emperor Iustinian Provenance: Name on the title of 'Joannis Molini'. This must be a relative of one of the 3 senators of the Gymnasium to whom Paulinus dedicates his work. The book is dedicated to 'M. Anto. Memmo' and the noblemen 'Francisco Molino' & 'Antonio Priolo' Collation: a-d4 e6; A-4F4 Photographs on request hardcover

THUCYDIDES
Thucydides over den oorlog der Peloponnesers en Atheners. Vertaald door H. Frieseman.
Amsterdam Te Amsteldam Bij Pieter den Hengst 1786. 8vo. 2 volumes: VIII424; II4851 p. Contemporary marbled boards. 21 cm Ref: STCN ppn 177080426; Geerebaert 841; OiN 372 Details: Backs ruled gilt and with a blue letterpiece in the 'second compartment' Condition: Binding worn especially at the extremes. Backs rubbed. Letterpiece on the back of volume 2 slightly damaged. 1 stamp on the first title. 2 stamps on the second title Note: This is the first translation into Dutch of the work of the Greek historian Thucydides 'perhaps the greatest historian who has yet lived incontestably the greatest in antiquity'. H.J. Rose A handbook of Greek literature London 1965 p. 302 The translation was made by the Dutch schoolman Hendrik Frieseman born ca. 1755. Later in life he succeeded in obtaining the rectorship of the 'Schola Latina' of Harderwijk where he died in 1821. Van der Aa 16252 In his short preface Frieseman tells us that he used for his translation the text of Duker. This must be the very learned edition with text and exhaustive commentary produced by Carolus Andreas Duker Amsterdam 1731. Frieseman tried he says to imitate the compact and succinct style of the Greek historian and tried to avoid the loose and 'agreable' style of the translation of the Frenchmen Ablancourt first published in 1662. He reproaches the famous Ablancourt that he occasionaly seems to contradict and improve Thucydides which is not the task of the translator Provenance: stamp on title: 'Bibliotheek Aloysius-college s'-Gravenhage' and of 'Bibl.-Gymn. Catv.' this must be the Sint Wilbrordus Gymnasium at Katwijk Collation: 4 A-2C8 2D4; pi1 A-2G8 2H2 2I1 Photographs on request hardcover

Thurstone, L L [Louis Leon]
The Nature Of Intelligence First American Edition
New York: Harcourt Brace & Company Inc. 1924. First American Edition First Printing . Dark Green Cloth. Near Fine/No Dust Jacket. 8 3/4" High. 10 Illustrations. Xvi 167 Pp. Dark Green Cloth Gilt. First American Printing 1924 Using Sheets Printed In Great Britain. Clean Unmarked Pages. No Inscriptions. Covers Clean; Gilt Lettering On Spine Brilliant And Complete Near Fine. In The Long Biography Published In The Biographical Memoirs Of The National Academy Of Sciences In 1957 The Writer Notes That "It Is Quite Appropriate To Say That Louis Leon Thurstone Was To Psychology Of The First Half Of The Twentieth Century What Gustav Theodore Fechner Was To The Last Half Of The Nineteenth. Fechner Was The Father Of Quantitative Psychology; Thurstone Was Its Chief Torchbearer In Recent Years. In Addition To His Many Novel Contributions During The Past Thirty Years We Have As Memorials To Him The Psychometric Society And The Journal Psychometrika Both Of Which Were Founded Through His Initiative. Their Motto Was Essentially His Own Motto: The Development Of Psychology As A Quantitative Rational Science.A Major Contribution To Psychological Theory Was In His Monograph On Intelligence Which Appeared In 1924. He Developed And Supported The Thesis That The Degree Of Intelligence Is Related To The Degree Of Incompleteness Of An Act At The Time In Which It Becomes Focal In Consciousness. Becoming Highly Aware Of An Act During Its Early Stages Offers Much Opportunity To Bring To Bear Upon It A Wider Range Of Choice Or Determination." This Lost Art Of Self-Awareness Of Intelligence Is Perhaps Due To The Success Of Relatively Thoughtless But Excessively Verbose Media Celebrities Particularly Politicians Who Avoid Substantive Discussions Entirely Because They Can Only Achieve Success By Loud Unsupported Assertions Which Will Be Supported By The Equally Thoughtless. <br/> <br/> Harcourt, Brace & Company, Inc. hardcover

TIBULLUS
Albii Tibulli Equitis Rom. Quae exstant ad fidem veterum membranarum sedulo castigata. Accedunt notae cum Variar. Lectionum libello & terni Indices; quorum primus omnes voces Tibullianas complectitur.
Amsterdam Amstelaedami Ex Officina Wetsteniana 1708. 4to. XX including frontispiece47673 index1 blank p. 9 full page engravings. Calf. 23.5 cm Ref: STCN ppn 186442033; Schweiger 21093; Graesse 6/2157; Ebert 22968; Brunet 5856 Details: Back gilt and with 5 raised bands. Red shield in the second compartment. Edges dyed red. Marbled endpapers. Frontispiece engraved after a design of Joseph Mulder by Willem de Broen who is also the engraver of the 9 plates. The frontispiece shows left a shepherdess probably Delia Tibullus first love and the subject of book I; she leans on a fountain holding a staff; she reaches out towards a shepherd at the left in the distance 3 nude women the three Graces dancing with 3 putti; a ploughing farmer in background sheep in foreground. Title printed in red and black. Engraved printer's mark on the title with Wetstein's motto: 'Terar dum prosim'. Commentary in 2 columns below the text. P. 409/441 contain the 'libellus Variarum Lectionum' on p. 442/466 the 'notae' of Nicolaas Heinsius p. 467/476 observations by Janus Dousa Condition: Binding somewhat scuffed. Head & tail of the spine chafed. Paper yellowing Note: Latin love elegy is more or less an original Roman creation. It is a literary form of which almost every feature is derived from Greek models but it has no analogue in Greek literature. These elegies 'clearly Greek in inspiration are all concerned with love and it is predominantly as a medium for love poetry that the elegy was developed during the first century B.C. . What might be called the classic type of love-elegy the cycle of short poems centred upon the poet's relationship with a single mistress appears to have originated with Cornelius Gallus: his 'Lycoris' . was the prototype of Tibullus' Delia Propertius' Cynthia Ovid's Corinna and Lygdamus' Neaera'. OCD 2nd ed. p. 379 § This edition of Tibullus of 1708 contains what is now called the 'Corpus Tibullianum'. Of this corpus consisting of 4 books only the first two belong to the Latin poet and elegist Tibullus 55-19 B.C. who was probably a Roman knight. The first book deals with the poet's unhappy love for a mistress Delia a married woman probably of a low social status and for a boy named Marathus. The poetic attributes of these lovers are largely conventional but they may really have existed. Book two which is believed to be incomplete celebrates in 3 elegies a new courtesan Nemesis probably also ficticious. There is also an elegy on the blessings of peace and the impression of a rustic festival. The third and fourth book are by the hands of other poets. Book three contains six smooth but wooden elegies by a much inferior poet who calls himself Lygdamus. The 4th book of the Tibullus collection consists of elegies of a very different quality and opens with 211 hexameters on the achievements of Tibullus' patron M. Valerius Messalla Corvinus the 'Panegyricus Messallae'. Incorporated in the 4th books are also a number of short elegies written with a unique frankness by the 'docta puella' Sulpicia a contemporary of Tibullus. § This edition was produced by the Dutch scholar/soldier Joan van Broekhuizen Janus Broukhusius 1649-1707 who during an adventurous life pursued his classical studies and poetry at leisure. His editions of Propertius 1702 and Tibullus laid the foundation for his reputation as a classical scholar. He was admired as a latinist for his taste and for his erudition. NNBW 4309/12 As a neolatin poet he is known as the 'Propertius of Holland'. Sandys 2329 Collation: -24 32; A-3Y4 3Z2 leaf 3Z2 verso blank Photographs on request hardcover

Tilley, Frank
Teapots and Tea
Newport England: The Ceramic Book Company 1957. First Edition . Cloth. Good/No Jacket. SIGNED and inscribed by the author. Limited edition of 1000 copies. "With ten colour plates and over two hundred monochrome illustrations." This book is handsomely printed on fine paper and illustrated with beautiful truly charming teapots from a collector's collector. The interior is perfectly preserved with fresh colored plates. The binding is tight and sound and covers are bound in a silky smooth cloth that has retained its fine texture. Very slight wear to extremities. Spine is a bit faded but embossed gilt remains bright and sharp. Top page ends have nice sharp gilt edging. The main flaw is cosmetic: there are some splashes and a line of spotting on the front which are a few shades darker than the original from a dampstain but not soiling. The rear also has an area of lines and a splashy splotch with four white spots each about 1/2 ". The cloth near the back spine seems to have stretched so it's a little loose there but only the cloth and not anything to do with the actual binding. There is some vague spottiness on the lower front that could be fingerprint marks and a line of light staining on bottom ends. This is a heavy and oversized book that may require special handling. <br/> <br/> The Ceramic Book Company hardcover

Tillson, Christiana Holmes; Milo Milton Quaife (ed)
A Woman's Story of Pioneer Illinois
Chicago: R. R. Donnelley & Sons / The Lakeside Press. Near Fine with No dust jacket as issued. 1919. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Publisher's full dark green cloth with gilt lettering on spine embossed publisher's medallion on front cover in gilt t.e.g. fore-edge and bottom edge deckle. Illustrated with two portraits of the author. So many pioneer stories were written at the request of a child or grandchild. What makes Christiana Tillson's humorous memoir different was her background. Tillson's story records the reactions produced upon a refined New England woman by an environment at once predominantly southern and wholly frontier. Her youth in 1822 and her parting from all that she had known in the East were common of many later Western migrants. But when she and her husband went out to try their fortunes the "West" was what we today call the Midwest. It was still a wild dangerous and uncertain place to try to make a future. . Head and heel of spine are very very slightly rubbed else pristine unmarked tight square and clean. NEAR FINE. . The Lakeside Classics Series. Vol. 17. Two Portraits. 12mo 7" - 7½" tall. xxi 169 pp .

Tilton Theodore. Victoria California Claflin Woodhull
Victoria C. Woodhull. A Biographical Sketch.
New York: Published at the Office of The Golden Age 1871. First edition of Tilton's biography of American suffragette Victoria Woodhull published shortly before she became the first woman to campaign for President of the United States. 12 mo original wrappers stitched as issued publisher's advertisement at rear. In very good condition. Housed in a custom cloth chemise and half morocco slipcase. Victoria Woodhull first made her reputation as a supporter of free love by which she meant the freedom to marry divorce and bear children without social restriction or government interference and as one of the only female newspaper publishers Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly with her sister Tennessee Claflin. She soon became an activist for women's rights and labor reforms and in a pivotal 1871 speech argued that the 14th and 15th amendments already covered women's suffrage. She decided to run for president in 1872 backed by the Equal Rights Party whose convention nominated Frederick Douglass for Vice President although he did not participate in the convention or acknowledge the nomination. While she obviously lost--and indeed could not have won constitutionally due to her age--Woodhull became one of the most powerful women's rights advocates of her day. This contemporary biography was written by Theodore Tilton a close friend of many within the movement. In 1872 Tilton confided in Elizabeth Cady Stanton that his wife was having an affair with Henry Ward Beecher. Tilton sued Beecher for alienation of affection and a salacious trial commenced. Woodhull abandoned her friendship to splash the scandal across the pages of Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly. Woodhull was arrested for obscenity and then acquitted--events that gave rise to the Comstock Laws of 1873 arguably the nation's most powerful and successful attempt at censorship. Woodhull emerged from the debacle with fewer friends--Susan B. Anthony for example disagreed with her behavior entirely--but nevertheless managed to retain her reputation as a leading supporter of women's rights and as an early American female politician.

TIM DEWING, MIDSHIPMAN
1983 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN ABOARD THE NOTED HMS FEARLESS CRUISING TO TORTOLA PROVING MIDSHIPMAN EVEN 100s OF YEARS SEPARATED BY TIME ARE STILL MUCH THE SAME SINCE THE AGE OF SAIL
Very Good. 1983. On offer is an original very interesting vintage manuscript relic of as titled "Two Months on HMS Fearless" handwritten by Royal Navy Midshipman Tim Dewing in 1983. Historians and collectors of life aboard a British Royal Navy ship will notice that while the book is contemporary there are many compatible moments for the young midshipman of the late 20th Century all the way back to the Age of Sail 'middys'. Dewing's journal is a casual affair in a flip top sketch book style book and in it he details the voyage of HMS Fearless a ship noted for being in the Falklands War the year before and more frivolously the ship appeared in a James Bond movie from Portsmouth to Tortola in the Caribbean between January - March 1983. Adding further breadth to the well written narrative with notes on shore leave naval practice and more diary like personal notes on how he feels during the passage are several hand-drawn sketches. There are 52 pages or so along with another 20 pages separate hand-written 'booklet' entitled 'Puerto Rico 1983' tucked in. Tim Dewing was a Junior Navigator at the time who later went on to run the Navigation Training Department at the Britannia Royal Naval Training College at Dartmouth; he ended his naval career at Whitehall. He is currently the managing director of a large soft drinks company based in Devon. Included is a Dewing's sight form book containing his navigation entries for 1984 a State of Sea printed booklet light recognition printed booklet and an artic survival printed booklet all of which came with the journal. Overall VG.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ROYAL NAVY MIDSHIPMAN TIM DEWING HMS FEARLESS SAILING MARITIME MARINE NAUTICAL NAVAL OCEAN TRAVEL BARGE SCHOONER NAVAL ACTIONS THE ROYAL NAVY NAVAL MARINE NAUTICAL NAUTICAL LOGBOOK BRITISH ROYAL NAVY BRITANNICA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL AMERICANA ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown
