GIUSEPPE GALASSO
NELL'EUROPA DEI SECOLI D'ORO Aspetti, momenti e problemi dalle «guerre d'Italia» alla «grande guerra»
GUIDA 2012 429 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: PERFETTO E INTONSO. Siglo de oro è, come si sa, la definizione del periodo di maggiore splendore politico, culturale, artistico della Spagna moderna dal tempo dei Re Cattolici, Ferdinando e Isabella, alla fine del secolo XV, fino alla metà del secolo XVII. Per l'Europa il siglo de oro è alquanto più lungo: comprende più secoli, dal tempo di Cristoforo Colombo a quello, almeno, della prima guerra mondiale, nel primo ventennio del secolo XX. Secoli d'oro, perciò, al plurale, in cui l'Europa fu al centro della storia del mondo, conseguì una larga egemonia mondiale e promosse il passaggio dell'uomo dall'epoca pre-industriale a quella industriale, con un enorme avanzamento tecnico e scientifico, senza precedenti e senza confronti nella storia dell'umanità. Di questi secoli d'oro Giuseppe Galasso studia qui vari momenti, aspetti e problemi, che danno una idea complessa, ma chiaramente approfondita e articolata, di quell'Europa e della sua straordinaria originalità e creatività. Le relazioni internazionali, idee come quelle della fraternità e della solidarietà come quelle di popolo e di massa, figure come Luigi XIV, innovazioni giuridiche come quella del Codice Civile di Napoleone, libri come il Candide di Voltaire, e altri saggi di uguale interesse. I "secoli d'oro" della storia d'Europa formano così l'oggetto di una serie di scandagli e di esplorazioni che sistemano in una visione di insieme una civiltà che non ha bisogno di trionfalistiche esaltazioni per risaltare nel suo eccezionale rilievo nel passato. Giuseppe Galasso è professore emerito dell'Università Federico II di Napoli. É accademico dei Lincei, E stato, fra l'altro, sottosegretario al Ministero per i Beni culturali e ambientali, presso il quale promosse la legge per la tutela del paesaggio che porta il suo nome. Già direttore di «Prospettive Settanta», dirige ora la rivista «L'Acropolis. Ha diretto la grande Storia d'Italia della UTET (in oltre 30 volumi) e, con Rosario Romeo, una Storia del Mezzogiorno (in 15 volumi). Tra le sue ultime opere ricordiamo solo Nient'altro che storia. Saggi di teoria e metodologia della storia (Bologna, 2000); la Storia d'Europa (Roma-Bari, 2001); Croce e lo spirito del suo tempo (Roma-Bari, 2002); Storia del Regno di Napoli, 6 voll. (Torino, 2007-2010); Prima lezione di storla moderna (Roma-Bari, 2008); Storici italiani del Novecento (Bologna, 2008); La Calabria spagnola (Soveria Mannelli, 2012). Soggetti: Storia moderna, Spagna, Scoperte geografiche, Guerre, Conquiste, Istoria, Giambullari, Voltaire, Imperi, Relazioni internazionali, Diplomazia, Feudalesimo, Asburgo, Ranke, Imperialismo, Roma, Cristianità, Rivoluzione francese, Industriale, Montaigne, Beverland, Rousseau, Monarchie, Assolutismo, Omodeo, Tocqueville, Fustel de Coulanges, Burke, Saint-Martin, Barnave, Antonio Labriola, Marxismo, Storiografia, Maranini, Furet, Napoleone, Restaurazione, COLOMBO, AMERICHE, SIGLO DE ORO, RECONQUISTA, PIRENNE, ARAGONA, NAPOLI

Michel de Montaigne e il termalismo. Atti del Convegno internazionale di Battaglia Terme (Castello del Catajo - Villa Selvatico-Sartori, 20-21 aprile 2007).
cm. 17 x 24, x-190 pp. con 6 figg. n.t. Aquae - Studi e testi sulle terme I dieci contributi riuniscono analisi interdisciplinari sui modi e sulle ragioni dell?interesse di Montaigne per le pratiche termali. Associano nella riflessione storia della letteratura e storia della medicina, con un?attenzione particolare a documenti dell?epoca, a segni di letture e lettori, a usi e costumi; e poi gli studi cinque- e seicenteschi sulle terme, la pratica del ?viaggio? a fini curativi, abitudini, speranze e sguardi disincantati dei viaggiatori e del viaggiatore Montaigne. The ten contributions gather interdisciplinary analyses on the how?s and why?s of Montaigne?s interest in thermal practices. In their consideration, they associate history of literature and history of medicine, with particular attention to documents of the era, to evidence of readings and readers, to uses and customs; and also to six and seventeenth-century studies on thermal baths, to the practice of ?travel? for curative purposes, to habits, hopes and disenchanted looks of travellers and of the travelling Montaigne. 372 gr. x-190 p.

Cornia Ugo
Sono socievole fino all'eccesso. Vita di Montaigne
br. Evita gli impegni mondani, il potere è per lui un piacere fiacco; è sempre in cerca di cose nuove e sconosciute. Ha un amico, La Boétie. Con lui, si abitua a essere in due dappertutto, e la sua morte lo lascia a metà. Non siamo mai un uno, siamo sempre la metà di qualcos'altro, siamo tante metà, dieci metà o quindici metà. Un navigatore porta tre indigeni americani alla corte del re: Montaigne vuol sapere cosa pensano di noi. Pensano che è strano che metà della popolazione sia satura di agi, e l'altra metà sia bisognosa, smagrita dalla fame e dalla povertà; ancora più strano che le metà bisognose non diano fuoco alle case delle metà agiate. La giustizia del resto non funziona, troppe leggi allontanano dalla verità. Adottiamo una nuova formula di sentenza: "La corte non ci capisce niente". In tempi di guerre civili, spiazza i nemici trattandoli da amici, vuole inventare possibilità di 'non guerra'. Il padre era un uomo forte, e d'ingegno molto fine; invece di lasciargli in eredità il suo senso pratico, gli lascia il mal della pietra. Le coliche sono lunghe e penose, gli tolgono la voglia delle donne. Montaigne diffida dei medici, dice che ci insegnano a star male per imporci la loro autorità. Quel che ci piace ci fa bene, così lui si mette in viaggio: Parigi, Svizzera, Germania e poi l'Italia. E di locanda in locanda, di terme in terme, un susseguirsi di acque, dolori, stranezze e meraviglie; la felicità di un uomo curioso del mondo fino all'ultimo respiro...

Pistilli Barbara; Sgattoni Marco
La biblioteca di Montaigne
br. I cataloghi sono eccezionali carte geografiche che consentono di entrare nell'officina di un autore - individuando i testi con cui si è confrontato, l'uso che ne ha fatto, la funzione che hanno avuto nel generare, per sintonia o per contrasto, le sue posizioni. Viaggio tanto più affascinante e coinvolgente, specie se si tratta di volumi postillati o commentati che permettono di comprendere il complesso processo da cui scaturiscono opere che si presentano ormai ai nostri occhi con i tratti di un 'classico', fuori dal tempo per la loro stessa perfezione. Montaigne fu un grande lettore, soprattutto dei testi antichi, che cita e utilizza secondo un progetto, e uno stile, letterario assai precisi, inserendoli direttamente nel corpo delle sue riflessioni, quasi fossero il 'secondo' autore dei Saggi, di cui si avverte, come un basso continuo, la presenza pagina dopo pagina, nella trama delle associazioni che le compongono. Perciò questo catalogo della biblioteca di Montaigne è un evento eccezionale per chiunque si interessi della sua persona e del suo 'libro': esso consente di gettare luce sull'una e sull'altro da un punto di vista non comune, attraverso incontri sorprendenti anche per il lettore più accorto e smaliziato.

Compagnon Antoine
Un'estate con Montaigne
br. Quando, nel 2012, il direttore di un'emittente radiofonica propone ad Antoine Compagnon di parlare dei "Saggi" di Montaigne in una lunga serie di trasmissioni quotidiane della durata di pochi minuti, all'illustre professore del Collège de France l'idea appare subito quanto meno stravagante. Il periodo di programmazione (dall'inizio di luglio alla fine di agosto) e l'orario (intorno a mezzogiorno) sembrano decisamente più adatti ai bagni di mare che non all'ascolto di lezioni su un grande classico della letteratura e del pensiero. La sfida è così arrischiata, e allettante, che Compagnon non osa tirarsi indietro. E il risultato è clamoroso: le trasmissioni ottengono ascolti sbalorditivi, il libro che ne raccoglie i testi, pubblicato un anno più tardi, risulta tra i più venduti della stagione, e i corsi di Compagnon al Collège de France registrano un'affluenza inusitata. Ma tanto successo ci apparirà tutt'altro che sorprendente non appena ci inoltreremo nelle pagine di questo incantevole vademecum, dove Compagnon, coniugando leggerezza e profondità, attraverso il commento a quaranta brevi passi dei "Saggi" ci condurrà all'interno di un'opera senza tempo come i temi di cui discorre, le cose della vita: dall'amore all'amicizia, dalla morte alla vanità, dalla bellezza alla malattia.

Montaigne Michel
1743 Edition of Montaigne's Essays A Rare Enlightenment-era Copy of One of the Period's Most Influential Works
MONTAIGNE Michel de. Essays In Three Books. With Notes and Quotations. And an Account of the Author's Life. With a Short Character of the Author and Translator by the Late Marquiss of Hallifax. London: Barker Straham Ballard etal. 1743. Volume I. Translated by Charles Cotton Esq. 18mo 4" x 6.5" inches.This is an early English edition with Original leather boards with raised bands to spine. 349 pages 436 including prefaces and index. Fifth Edition. Montaigne's most influential work and one of the foundations of Skepticism. The remarkable modernity of thought apparent in Montaigne's essays coupled with their sustained popularity made them arguably the most prominent work in French philosophy until the Enlightenment. The title itself comes from the French word essais meaning "attempts" or "tests" which shows how this new form of writing did not aim to educate or prove but rather to explore an idea. His topics in Volume I span the entire spectrum of the profound to the trivial from "Of Sorrow" "That to study philosophy is to learn to die" and "Good and Evils Depend Upon Opinion"; To "Of Sleep" "Of Smells" or "Of the Custom of Wearing Clothes". A rare 1743 copy. Leather scuffed and hinges cracked but boards and textblock secure; spine sturdy though exterior chipping down to first raised band at head. Dampstain around edges of endpapers and pastedown. 1882 ownership signature on pastedown and title page. Age-related toning to pages which are otherwise remarkably clean with neat bold text. Overall in good to very good condition. A rare Enlightenment-era copy of one of the period's most influential texts. unknown books

London:: Printed by Melch. Bradwood for Edward Blount and William Barret 1613. 1613. Folio. 7 ¼ x 11 inches. x 630 pp. Frontispiece engraved portrait of Florio by William Hole bound facing the first text leaf containing general title page Main title with headpiece and vignette separate title-pages for the second and third books elaborate ornamental woodcut-engraved initials headpieces throughout occasional mispagination; title edges browned portrait the repaired tear strengthened with later backing. Antique-style full brown calf blind- and gilt-stamped sprinkled calf raised bands maroon label. Small manuscript notation at foot of title. Very good copy. Second edition in English of Montaigne’s seminal masterpiece with the key Elizabethan translation of John Florio used by Shakespeare as a source for The Tempest circa 1611 a splendid folio volume in contemporary calf boards. "Montaigne devised the essay form in which to express his personal convictions and private meditations a form in which he can hardly be said to have been anticipated. He finds a place in the present canon however chiefly for his consummate representation of the enlightened skepticism of the 16th century to which Bacon Descartes and Newton were to provide the answers in the next" - Printing and the Mind of Man 95. "Walt Whitman and Norman Mailer are indirect descendants of Montaigne even as Emerson and Nietzsche are his direct progeny" - Bloom Western Canon pp.147–151. "It is generally accepted that Shakespeare used Florio’s translation when writing the passage on the natural commonwealth in his Tempest" - Pforzheimer 378. Initially published in French in 1580 Montaigne’s Essayes were first published in English in 1603 with this translation. REFERENCES: STC 18042. Lowndes 1588. ESTC S111840. Printed by Melch.

Essais de Michel Seigneur de Montaigne. Cinquiesme edition augmentée d'un troisiesme livre et de six cens additions aux deux premiers.

Very Good. 4to 24.3 x 18.8 cm. 4 ff. 496 ff. first leaf is an etched title woodcut headpieces and initials. Bound in nineteenth-century red morocco spine gold stamped in six compartments gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers ribbon bookmark all edges gilt. Minor rubbing and edge wear to spine and boards book labels inside upper cover and on front flyleaf title engraving trimmed at or just inside platemark as is usual faint inscription of verso of f. 4 some edge wear to f. 2 small loss at corner of f. 247 SSS iii a few minor paper flaws very occasional minor staining very minor browning to a few quires. The first complete edition of Michel de Montaigne's 1533-92 Essais one of the most influential and profound works of world literature. This is the last edition printed during the author's lifetime and the definitive text on which all later editions are based. The volume the so-called 'cinquièsme edition' is in fact the fourth edition and contains the first appearance of the third book printed from Montaigne's manuscript copy. Sayce offers an interesting hypothesis for the odd numbering of this edition: "The substitution of fifth for fourth edition may have been prompted by the desire to suggest that the book was selling better than it was a trick unknown today." Montaigne's association with Abel L'Angelier among the great printer-editors of the time was as much a coup for the author as it was for the publisher and the present volume's format "larger than the normal L'Angelier quarto gives Montaigne's book a certain prestige" Desan p. 42. The etched title page of putti masks and garlands in a quasi-architectural framework is here in its second state with the date added and the 'g' of 'grand' corrected; the copperplate seems to have been a bit large for the book as it is "often trimmed in almost all examples even those with the fullest margins" Desan p. 42. The present copy is typical of surviving 1588 editions almost all of which have been rebound in nineteenth-century red morocco Desan p. 42. The volume carries the bookplates of Horace de Landau 1824-1803 and the Swiss poet Albert Natural as well as a label indicating that it was exhibited in 1949 at the Lucerne exhibition "Dix Siècles de livres français" cat. no. 130 bis.

Essayes
London: Melch. Bradwood for Edward Blount and William Barret 1613. Second edition. Second edition of Florio's great translation which was first published in 1603. Small folio 11 3/8 x 7 1/4 inches; 290 x 185 mm collating: 12 630 2 blank pp. With engraved portrait of Florio on leaf A6v which was not included in the first English edition. With historiated initials and engraved head-and-tail pieces. The second and third books have separate dated title pages but pagination is continuous. This second edition replaces the original dedications of the three books to various Court ladies with a dedication and a new sonnet in Italian to the Queen Anne of Denmark who had appointed Florio as her reader in Italian and private secretary. Also for the first time in this edition is the anonymous sonnet Concerning the Honor of Bookes which was once attributed to Shakespeare but is more probably by Samuel Daniel. <br/><br/>Full contemporary polished calf. Boards and spine ruled in gilt. Board edges tooled in gilt. All edges speckled red. Remnants of green silk ties. Outer hinges professionally repaired. No front or rear pastedowns. Previous owner's bookplates. Contemporary ink notes on front free endpaper. Some minor toning to title-page and some occasional light dampstaining.

Overall a very good copy. <br/><br/>This is considered the most important Elizabethan translation of any contemporary text. Its influence on English writers and philosophers of the time including Shakespeare Bacon Milton Hobbes and Locke can hardly be overestimated. "Montaigne startles the common reader at each fresh encounter if only because he is unlike any preconception we bring him. He can be interpreted as skeptic humanist Catholic Stoic even Epicurean" Bloom The Western Canon 147-151 <br/><br/>"Montaigne devised the essay form in which to express his personal convictions and private meditations a form in which he can hardly be said to have been anticipated.He finds a place in the present canon however chiefly for his consummate representation of the enlightened scepticism of the sixteenth century to which Bacon Descartes and Newton were to provide the answers in the next" Printing and the Mind of Man 95.<br/><br/> "The unfolding of a mind of genius in dialogue with itself and with the world a Renaissance humanist speaking to all humanity" Hollier A New History of French Literature 250. <br/><br/>Grolier Langland to Wither 102.

ESTIENNE Henri printer MONTAIGNE Michel de 1533 1592
Les Essais de Michel seigneur de Montaigne: nouvelle édition exactement purgée des défauts des precedentes selon le vray original et enrichie & augmentée aux marges du nom des autheurs qui y sont citez & de la version de leurs passages.
Paris: Chez Augustin Courbé Estienne 1652. Hardcover. Very Good. Large folio 390 x 265mm. 840pp. Copper plate engraved printer’s device of Courbé a single palm tree surrounded by putti some trumpeting in frame with motto in allusion to his name Curvata Resurgo curved I straighten up signed by Daret. Title printed in red and black. Full-page copper engraved half title with author portrait of Michel de Montaigne the same as the 1635 edition. Near contemporary calf the spine tooled and lettered in gilt with raised bands; worming and small dampstain to margin of last 100 pages not affecting text other spotting and small stains binding slightly rubbed with losses to spine tips otherwise internally bright with clean wide margins. <br/><br/>Large Paris folio edition of Montaigne’s moralist and political ‘Essais.’ This 1652 edition contains beside the Essays the long preface and dedication of de Gournay the preface of Montaigne a summary of his life references to the authors in the margin and translations of the passages quoted. These citations often very lengthy make the Essays not only one of the great philosophical investigations in the Western tradition but a storehouse of the most beautiful and profound passages of classical literature. His citations from classical authors including Lucretius are especially remarkable. The whole is preceded by a notice of Estienne in which he details the improvements he has made in this edition most notably by placing the translations opposite the text – the first time this arrangement was introduced. Estienne also allowed Courbé the privilege to use his name and device on the title for this edition only although the work was printed on Estienne’s press. This same year Cousterout prints the work but uses the Estienne device. “I do not teach I tell” – Montaigne Montaigne’s Essays are central to the development of the early modern consciousness of the self; his skepticism and proto-empiricism were highly influential upon early modern scientific enquiry especially upon the works of Bacon. In the Essays Montaigne transcends his skepticism and transforms his stoicism to offer a positive and urgent message to his contemporaries. This message constitutes a new ethics one of goodness fellowship and trust all countering the model of heroic virtue which dominated his culture and his class by honor-bound aristocrats and religious zealots alike. Directed principally to the nobility of a nation torn apart by civil and religious conflict which forms the backdrop of the Essays Montaigne’s message shuns violence and urges for a new civilizing process. His moral argument depicts extreme humanist aspirations toward radical and divisive individualism in the name of a shared humanity. Canonical work in large format attractive and good with Courbé’s device found less often. Chez Augustin Courbé [Estienne] hardcover books

Montaigne Michel De; Cotton Charles; Hazlett William Carew; Emerson Ralph Waldo
The Works of Michel de Montaigne with Notes Life and Letters Complete in Ten Volumes: An Essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson; Essays of Montaigne 9 Volumes; Life and Letters of Montaigne with Notes and Index Emerson Edition
Edwin C. Hill 1910. Limited Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. Limited 'Emerson Edition' #351 of 1050 copies. Spines toned. 1910 Hard Cover. Complete in ten volumes. Beige cloth spines over blue paper covered boards paper spine labels. 8vo. An English translation of Montaigne's essays by Charles Cotton with his life letters notes an index and an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Revised by William Carew Hazlett. Includes tinted gravure plates and additional frontispieces and titles for this edition. "Essays is the title of a book written by Michel de Montaigne that was first published in 1580. Montaigne essentially invented the literary form of essay a short subjective treatment of a given topic of which the book contains a large number. Essai is French for 'trial' or 'attempt'. Montaigne wrote in a kind of crafted rhetoric designed to intrigue and involve the reader sometimes appearing to move in a stream-of-thought from topic to topic and at other times employing a structured style which gives more emphasis to the didactic nature of his work. His arguments are often supported with quotes from classical Greek and Roman texts. Montaigne's stated goal in his book is to describe man and especially himself with utter frankness. He finds the great variety and volatility of human nature to be its most basic features. A typical quote is 'I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself.' He describes his own poor memory his ability to solve problems and mediate conflicts without truly getting emotionally involved his disgust for man's pursuit of lasting fame and his attempts to detach himself from worldly things to prepare for death. Montaigne is disgusted with the violent and in his opinion barbaric conflicts between Catholics and Protestants of his time and his writings show a pessimism and skepticism quite uncharacteristic for the Renaissance. Overall Montaigne was a strong supporter of humanism. He believed in God but declined to speculate about His nature. He exhibited a quite modern cultural relativism recognizing that laws morals and religions of the various cultures while often quite different may all be equally valid. He opposed the conquest of the New World deploring the suffering it brought upon the natives. Citing the case of Martin Guerre as an example he believes that humans cannot attain certainty and he rejects general and absolute statements and all dogma. His skepticism is best expressed in the long essay 'An Apology for Raymond Sebond' Book 2 Chapter 12 which has frequently been published separately. We cannot trust our reasoning because thoughts just occur to us: we don't truly control them. We do not have good reasons to consider ourselves superior to the animals. He is highly skeptical of confessions obtained under torture pointing out that such confessions can be made up by the suspect just to escape the torture he is subjected to the first known use of this argument against torture. In the middle of the section normally entitled 'Man's Knowledge Cannot Make Him Good' he wrote that his motto was 'What do I know'. The essay on Sebond ostensibly defended Christianity. However Montaigne eloquently employed so many references and quotes from classical Greek and Roman i.e. non-Christian authors especially the atomist Lucretius. Montaigne considered marriage necessary for the raising of children but disliked the strong feelings of romantic love as being detrimental to freedom. One of his quotations is 'Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in and those inside desperate to get out.' In education he favored concrete examples and experience over the teaching of abstract knowledge that is expected to be accepted uncritically. The remarkable modernity of thought apparent in Montaigne's essays coupled with their sustained popularity made them arguably the most prominent work in French philosophy until the Enlightenment. Their influence over French education and culture is still strong. The official portrait of former French president Fran Edwin C. Hill hardcover books

MONTAIGNE Michel de.
Essais. Édition seconde revue & augmentée.
Bordeaux: Simon Millanges 1582. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 4 ff 806 pp 1 ff. Bound in luxurious 19th century red morocco by Chambolle-Duru. Very good. Rare second edition carefully corrected by Montaigne himself of his chef d'oeuvre and a masterpiece of world literature. Montaigne continuously corrected his Essais throughout his lifetime and modern commentators have often been able to trace the development of his thought through these changes in addition to the reflections they provide of Montaigne's life experiences. The first of these corrected editions is the present work published shortly after Montaigne's return from a voyage to Italy. The work is of particular American interest for one of the earliest and most astute accounts of Brazilian Indians published in the 16th century "Des Cannibales" pp. 174-191 and certainly the most widely read account of Brazilian Indians known to Renaissance readers. More meticulously and beautifully printed than the first edition the present work incorporates some 34 additions and 16 new citations relative to the 1580 text. Many of the new citations reference Italian sources - an indication of the profound effect Montaigne's travels in Italy 1580-1 had on the author. Other corrections - in text style orthography punctuation and the addition or suppression of words - have also been recorded by Marcel Françon. The edition of 1582 "permits first of all the correction of a somewhat corrupted text. but also represents a commercial endeavour by Millanges who had a great interest in associating himself with a new political power ie Montaigne who had been elected Mayor of Bordeaux in 1581." Desan In his thought-provoking discussion of civilized behaviour famously titled 'Des Cannibales' Montaigne draws on printed sources-Léry Thevet and Osorio-as well as a personal encounter with ethnic Brazilians. Montaigne had been in Rouen in 1562 when a group of Indians were presented to Charles IX. In "Des Cannibales" he reports with remarkable accuracy on Brazilian morals music housing and other ethnographic details. Following a detailed description of cannibalism the essayist draws a deft parallel with the torture methods employed by the Inquisition. Like the first edition the present work contains the first two books of the Essais. A third would appear only in 1588. OCLC shows Chicago Virginia the NYPL Yale Princeton and Harvard. Desan 12; Sayce 2; Tchemerzine-Scheler IV 871; M. Françon Les Essais de 1582 Harvard 1969. <br/> <br/> Simon Millanges hardcover books
