Bibikov regarded the two works as complementing each other as he remarks in his preface to this translation "the works reinforce each other. That is why having published in Russian Adam Smith's great work of political economy I decided to translate and publish his other work which is no less remarkable and yet known even less to Russian society than the first" p. 5. "Bibikov's translation probably done via French remained the only Russian version available until 1997". National Library of Scotland.<br><br>Adam Smith developed a comprehensive and unusual version of moral sentimentalism in his Theory of Moral Sentiments 1759 TMS. He did not expressly lay out a political philosophy in similar detail but a distinctive set of views on politics can be extrapolated from elements of both TMS and his Wealth of Nations. Although these economic doctrines had not been unheard of in Russia prior to the rise of Anglophile feelings at the beginning of the nineteenth century "it was not until interest and admiration for things British was firmly rooted that classical economics could secure its ground in Russia" Tanaka The Controversies Concerning Russian Capitalism - An Analysis of the Views of Plekhanov and Lenin this processes coincided with the present publication which became important in the spreading of Adam Smith's economic principles in Russia. <br><br>OCLC only locates three copies. hardcover

With a preface in which Speroni's friend Ingolfo Conte de Conti dedicates the work to the Duke of Urbino. "Di Padoua di 16. Decembre 1596". � The scarce first edition of Speroni's highly important work of orations which is responsible for establishing the entire genre of moral orations and for Speroni's reputation as the first Italian orator. <br><br>Sperone Speroni one of the important cultural figures of the time known from Torquato Tasso his pupil as "Sperone who possesses fully all the arts and sciences" counts as the dominant literary figure on the "terraferma" in the generation following Bembo. During the early 1520s Speroni studied with the greatest of the Renaissance philosophers Pietro Pomponazzi and by the 1530s had become a major light at Padua where he became professor of logic and general philosophy. Due to his eminent oration skills and his widely acknowledged and remembered speeches he became known as the first Italian orator and as the first modern thinker to incorporate moral themes into his speeches<br><br>"Il passait pour le premier orateur de l'Italie. il a r�ussi dans ses po�sies par la gr�ce et la vivacit� enfin selon Ginguen� "son style en prose est un des meilleurs de cd si�cle". il est le premier Italien qui ait trait� dans ce genre des questions de morale." N.B.G.<br><br>He is widely famed for having helped found and shape the Paduan Accademia degli Infiammati 1540.<br><br>The present work contains his 9 famous orations that each in their way came to influence the development of rhetoric morals and politics of the Renaissance. In his "In morte del Cardinal Pietro Bembo" he showed that a great literature might be produced if Petrarch were studied and imitated in Italian just as the classics were in Latin directly influencing the emergence of Petrarch-scholarship.<br><br>But the most famous of the orations is probably the controversial "Contra le Cortigiane" "oratin against the Courtesans" in which he accuses the courtesan of being a glutton and vain and taking advantage of the name "corte" court which associates her erroneously with the noble and honourable environment of the court. "Oh diabolic pride! Base prostitute of which state and of which subjects are you a mistress". His words finally metamorphose her from woman to serpent or half beast and half devil. See: Paola Malpezzi Price "Moderata Fonte: Women and Life in Sixteenth Century Venice" p. 74. <br><br>The collection of his orations in the first printing became highly influential in the late Renaissance and came to determine the development of the art of writing speeches as well as a certain way of presenting philosophy and moral thought to the people. unknown
