Annotatiunculae in eosdem. Aliquot loci translati de tertio & quarto libro Ptolemaei per eundem Camerarium." two leaves of preface/dedication dated 1535 one blank. � The very rare first Greek/Latin edition i.e. the editio princeps of the Greek text and the first edition of Camerarius' seminal translation into Latin directly from the Greek of Ptolemy's famous textbook of astrology known under the name "Tetrabiblos" or "Quadripartitum" derived from its four books the work which "ranks as the Bible of Astrology" Stillwell and which Ptolemy himself considered the natural complement to his "Almagest": "as the latter enables one to predict the positions of the heavenly bodies so the former expounds the theory of their influences on terrestrial things." D.S.B. XI:198. The present edition also contains the editio princeps of the Greek text of the "Karpos" or "Centiloquium" because of its 100 aphorisms erroneously attributed to Ptolemy as well as Pontano's famous Latin version of it.<br><br>The "Tetrabiblos" is considered one of if not the most important surviving ancient texts on astrology and its impact and influence on this field has been immense. It was by far the most popular astrological work of Antiquity and it also greatly influenced the Islamic world the Medieval Latin West and the Renaissance. It was reprinted continuously for centuries and its great popularity is often attributed to the fact that it is a textbook on the art of astrology itself and a "scientific" defense of it rather than a mere manual instructing lay people on how to practice the art. <br><br>"Of Ptolemy's genuine works the most germane to and significant for our investigation is his "Tetrabiblos" "Quadripartium" or four books on the control of human life by the stars. In the "Tetrabiblos" the art of astrology receives sanction and exposition from perhaps the ablest mathematician and closest scientific observer of the day or at least from one who seemed so for succeeding generations. Hence from that time on astrology was able to take shelter from any criticism under the aegis of his authority." Thorndike I:111.<br>As opposed to the "Karpos" almost all research points to the fact that the "Tetrabiblon" must genuinely be by Ptolemy and as such it is to be considered of the greatest importance not only to astrology the history and impact of the science but also to astronomy and to the understanding of the man who wrote one of the most important astronomical works of all times. In the "Tetrabiblos" Ptolemy first discusses the validity of the art of judicial astrology and the introductory chapters are devoted to defending astrology against charges that it is uncertain and useless. According to Ptolemy the laws of astronomy are beyond dispute but the art of predicting human affairs from the movement of the stars should be attacked using more reason than that and his main argument is that one should not reject the art itself merely because it can be abused and frequently is by impostors or because it is an art not yet fully developed and may be difficult to handle properly. In book I Ptolemy goes on to explain the technical concepts of astrology in book II the influences on the earth in general and in books II and IV the influences on human life. "Although often dependent on earlier authorities Ptolemy often develops his own dogma. The discussion in books III and IV is confined to what can be deduced from a man's horoscope." D.S.B. XI:198. <br><br>"The great influence of the "Tetrabiblos" is shown not only in medieval Arabic commentaries and Latin translations but more immediately in the astrological writings of the declining Roman Empire when such astrologers as Hephaestion of Thebes Paul of Alexandria and Julius Firmicus Maternus cite it as a leading authoritative work. Only the opponents of astrology appear to have remained ignorant of the "Tetrabiblos" continuing to make criticisms of the art which do not apply to Ptolemy's presentation of it or which had been specifically answered by him." Thorndike I: 115-16.<br><br>Camerarius's translation of the "Tetrabiblon" here printed for the first time is probably the most important and influential of the many Latin versions of the text. It is considered the best most widely used and most important for the spreading of Ptolemaean astrology in the Renaissance where this came to play a great role at the universities and beyond. "Melanchton never doubted the scientific accuracy of astrology. For instance in 1535 Joachim Camerarius' edition of Ptolemy's "Tetrabiblos" was warmly received by Melanchton; in the same year he began lecturing on Ptolemy's work at Wittenberg and stressed the scientific character of the work in his opening address. And in the following year he commented on the second book beginning with an exhortation to appreciate the philosophical arguments of the first book." Stefano Caroti in: Paolo Zambelli edt. "Astrologi hallucinati" Stars and the End of the World in Luther's Time 1986 p. 113.<br><br>It is widely accepted that it is the present first Greek/Latin-edition i.e. the editio princeps of the Greek text together with Camerarius' Latin version of it that has played the most dominant role in the spreading and interpreting of Ptolemy's astrology in the Renaissance. Astrology as derived from Classical Antiquity with Ptolemy as the greatest exponent of them all came to play a seminal role in Renaissance understanding of both exact sciences and philosophy and thus this period witnessed a huge number of discussions and interpretations of astrology in general but of the astrology of Ptolemy's "Tetrabiblion" in particular. Many of the main proponents of Ptolemy's astrology in the Renaissance are known specifically to have owned or read the present Greek/Latin edition and refer to Camerarius' Latin version and to the original Greek text which had now become available for the first time. hardcover

Paris Calmann Levy 1891. Royal 8vo. Uncut in the orig. wrappers. Back a bit worn tears to hinges. A bit loose. Internally fine. 4 XIV 2 210 2 pp. � Ernest Renan 1823-1892 was a French philologist philosopher and historian. His father died when he was aged five and his mother wanted him to become a priest. Until he was about 16 years old he was trained by the Church but due to his investigative and truth-seeking nature as well as his studies e.g. Hebrew he was in doubt as to the historical truth of the Scriptures and with the help of his sister he chose his own path in life. "He studied intensively the languages of the Bible and filled a number of minor academic positions frequently encountering difficulties because of the heterodoxy and outspokenness of his religious opinions." Printing and the Mind of Man 352. In 1840 he began studying philosophy and later philology in 1847 he took his degree as Agr�g� de Philosophie and became master at the Lyc�e of Vendome. After having returned from a mission to Italy in the year 1850 where he gathered material for his historical-philosophical masterpiece "Averro�s et l'Averroisme" he was offered employment at the "Biblioth�que Nationale" at the manuscript department. In 1861 he was chosen to become professor of Hebrew at the Coll�ge de France but because the emperor refused to ratify the appointment inspired by the Clerical party he was not established in the chair untill 1870. In 1878 he was elected for the Academy. Renan is considered a scolar of the greatest excellence and an impressive writer. unknown

NIKOLAJ ON DANIELSON NIKOLAJ FRANCEVIC. THE BIBLE OF RUSSIAN LIBERAL ECONOMIC THOUGHT
Otserki naschego poreformennogo obshcshestvennago chozjajstva. Russian i.e.: Studies of Our Post-Reform Economy.
S.-Petersburg A Benke 1893. 8vo. Bound with the original printed green front wrapper in a beautiful green half calf with gilt lettering to spine. Front wrapper brownspotted. Bottom 3 cm. of p.1-2 cut off shaving a few lines off. A few underlinings to the first leaves. XVI 353 1 pp. 29 tables numbered I-XVI with abc's: IIIa-b IVa-h Va-c VIa-b VIIa-b Xa-bXIIIa-b on 16 leaves 12 of which folded most of them large 2 leaves of explanation in between. � The exceedingly scarce first edition of Danielson's groundbreaking work on the Russian economic development which is widely considered the bible of Russian liberal economic thought. Danielson here proposed a way for the Russian economy to consolidate itself without foreign money by - highly controversially - claiming that capitalist industrialization was possible without any change in the political system and emphasizing and defending the peasant class which so many socialists of the time readily proclaimed doomed. <br>Danielson's economic philosophy was not only pioneering in contemporary Russian economics it also anticipated many solutions to problems that still face some of the Third World countries today.<br><br>Danielson famously stated: "The problem facing us could have been summed up in the following terms: What should we do to bring our industry up to the level of Western industry in order to prevent Russia from becoming a vassal of more advanced countries and at the same time raise the living standards of the people as a whole What we did instead was to identify large-scale modern industry with its capitalist form thus reducing the problem to the following dilemma: To what should we sacrifice our cottage industries - to our own capitalist industry or to English industry When the issue was presented in this way - and this is how it was presented - our cottage industries were doomed and we began to propagate our own capitalist industry". The present work pp. 390-91.<br><br>"Danielson reasserted that Russia allegedly lacked foreign markets and reaffirmed that furthering large-scale industry - that it capitalist development - was prejudicial to Russia's interests. He further condemned the policy of industrialization based on "outrageous protectionism" and suggested that it was still possible for Russia to go back to reliance on agrarian communes and artisanal production. In sum he believed that Russia could avoid becoming "a tributary of more advanced countries" and that it could foster a non-capitalist state-controlled industrialization that would increase both productivity and welfare" Spulber "Russia's Economic Transitions" p. 43.<br><br>"The present work was written at the suggestion of Marx himself. Danielson made every effort to emphasize the differences between himself and the economic publicists who "defended the people's cause from a narrow peasant point of view". He lost no opportunity to refer to the authority of Marx and Engels even quoting from his private correspondences with them. Nevertheless there can be no possible doubt that Danielson belonged to the legal Populists". Walicki A History of Russian Thought P. 432.<br><br>Danielson is often compared to Vasily Vorontsov and the two are considered the major exponents of narodnik economics. Danielson however should be distinguished from Vorontsov in regard to the factors that cause underconsumption: contraction in the purchasing power of the popular masses and not the inability of capitalists to consume the surplus value. Danielson's analysis therefore falls into the school of underconsumption theory initiated during the classical era of Political Economy by Sismonde de Sismondi. "According to Danielson capitalist development reduces the number of workers formerly self-employed craftsmen small manufacturers farmers or even laborers through rapid increase in productivity. This leads to an ever smaller number of workers handling an ever larger mass of means of production and accordingly also the number of mass consumers since it marginalizes all those who are being pushed into the industrial reserve army depriving society of their purchasing power. Crises therefore emerge as a result of contraction of the internal market and of popular consumption." MILIOS "Tugan-Baranowsky and effective Demand" p 4. Danielson's analysis of the contraction of popular consumption linked his theory of crises with the Theory of Relative Pauperisation thereby adopting a version of the "absolute immiseration" thesis.<br><br>Danielson - initially a self-proclaimed Marxist - translated Marx's "Das Kapital" into Russian just two years after the first German edition appeared thus being responsible for the first translation of the work into any language and corresponded heavily with Marx and Engels up until the end of their lives. He was their primary source of information on the economic situation and development in Russia. While Danielson's research progressed and his own economic philosophy developed he moved away from the popular Marxist economic doctrine however and eventually the famed Marx-translator became the influential critic of Marxism.<br><br>The theory of Danielson's "Studies of Our Post-Reform Economy" represents "the first attempt to pose and find solutions to problems that still face some of the Third World countries today". Danielson he was "the first to realize that economic backwardness creates its own specific problems and that underdeveloped countries not only should not but cannot model their development on that of the advanced countries of Western Europe. Walicki "A History of Russian Thought" p. 434. unknown

MAO ZEDONG. FIRST EDITION OF THE "LITTLE RED BOOK" THE "CHINESE BIBLE"
Mao Zhu Xi Yu Lu Chinese i.e. Quotations of Chairman Mao.
Printed in China May 1964. 12mo. Pages measuring 139 x 103 mm. Orig. red vinyl w. blindstamped lettering and star to front cover. The cover is made to fit around original blank paper-boards. A bit of soiling to cover and a bit of wear to extremities. Free end-papers brownspotted. Half-title printed in red title-page in red and green portrait of Chairman Mao 2 2 250 pp. Lin Biao's endorsement-leaf is supplied in facsimile. � The rare first edition published in a very restricted number of Mao's Little Red Book LRB which together with the bible is the most printed book ever it also holds the world record of most copies printed of a single work in under four years - 720 million copies by the end of 1967. <br><br>This first edition is distinguishable from later editions by its slightly larger page size by only containing 30 chapters and by ending with page 250. There is also no publishing data due to the simultaneous production of it at different locations in China which made local distribution easier.<br><br>The idea of publishing this little book of quotations which are taken from the first official edition of Mao's writings his selected works vols. 1-4 printed 1951-60 came to Lin Biao shortly in 1963 or early 1964 by which time the four volumes of Mao's works had become the chief reading and source of knowledge within China. The little red book was meant as inspirational reading for the public and for several years a campaign was promoted urging or perhaps commanding everyone to study the thoughts of Chairman Mao in this form. The short quotation form made the thoughts more easily accessible and even uneducated people like the soldiers were able to become acquainted with the thoughts and philosophy of their leader.<br><br>Lin Biao wrote an endorsement choosing three sentences from the diary of Lei Feng which he wrote in calligraphic script and it is this endorsement leaf that is lacking in the present copy -however this leaf is actually supposed to be lacking: By heavily promoting the LRB Lin Biao had greatly risen in importance within the Mao-hierarchy and he was actually designated to become Mao's successor -however rumours occurred that Lin Biao was planning to assassinate Mao and take over power immediately and thus he was killed. Due to the close relationship between Lin Biao and Mao the betrayal was considered the more disgraceful in fact so disgraceful that it was decided that he had to be erased from modern history. Thus it was decided and commanded that the endorsement leaf was to be removed from all copies of the LRB and getting caught with not having torn this leaf out might very well have meant the death penalty. <br><br>"The LRB continued to be printed in huge quantities for mass distribution up until the time of Mao's death on September 9th 1976. This brought about an official end to the Cultural Revolution which had used the LRB as a frequent symbol. By the late 1970s a change in government discouraged its further circulation and millions upon millions of copies were collected and destroyed as obsolete paper even while the cult of Maoism continued. It was during the centenary of Mao Tse-tung's birth 1993 that copies were once again printed this time as facsimiles in English French and German being exact replicas dated 1966 and with "First Edition" printed behind each title-page. They can be easily distinguished by their bright shiny red laminated covers and the presence of colored photograph portraits near the front. As they can still be found all over China most likely they have been printed again even more recently. No one denies Mao is the Father of his country truly the last Emperor a symbol of power and reverence who has been exonerated for the mistakes of his reign and consequently recognized for his achievements as hope for the future. His ideology forms a brilliant concept that is still readable and admired today for its political theories and strategies and no doubt he would be very proud to know the effect he has had on his own country and the world will never forget him."

Tijuana Bible
UNTITLED TIJUANA BIBLE WITH ILLUSTRATED WRAPPERS
np 1930. Oblong 16mo original illustrated wrappers 8pp. Near Fine. A common theme for these Bibles: respectable married man tells a young woman he wants to "buy a little of your kiester if we could get it over before my wife comes back from the store." The activities progress in graphic detail. Tijuana Bibles "were produced by a shadowy criminal underground in the 1930s. Very little hard information is available about how the Bibles were created where they were manufactured and how they were distributed. One certain fact confirmed by numerous anecdotes is that these comic books were for many young men their first peek into the forbidden world of erotic intimacy" Adelman. They were crudely printed and illustrated porn tract-comic books. The skimpy stories featured contemporary movie sports folk political and cartoon characters in absurdly hyperbolic sexual relations. Why they're called Tijuana Bibles is a matter of speculation; 'Tijuana' was typically associated with iniquity and as an outlet for behavior considered impermissible elsewhere. Properly considered the ancestor of America's underground comics Tijuana Bibles declined in popularity in the 1960's as mainstream publications like Playboy would satisfy readers' prurient interests. Adelman Tijuana Bibles. Art and Wit in America's Forbidden Funnies. 1930s-1950s. 1997. unknown

BIBLE TISSOT J. James illustrator
The Old Testament & The New Testament.
Paris London New York: M. De Brunoff Art Publisher 1904. American Edition de Grand Luxe. One of 720 copies this out-of series. Four large quarto volumes two for the Old Testament and two for the New Testament. Spine lettering and half title of the New Testament reading The Life of Jesus Christ. 10 1/2 x 13 3/4 inches. The Old Testament has three hundred and ninety-six in-text and full-page compositions. Of these 36 are full page and each in two states and each state with its own tissue guard. The first state is a sepia photogravure and the second state is a chromolithograph. Many of the intertextual illustrations are in color as well. The New Testament has 462 illustrations by Tissot. Of these 34 are full page and each in two states and each state with its own tissue guard. Publisher's half burgundy morocco over marbled paper over wooden boards spine compartments with gilt lettering and a repeating gilt grape motif marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Each of these volumes weighs about 15 pounds so there is some expected edge wear to bottom of boards and a bit of rubbing to sides. A couple of instances of adhesion from the chromolithographs. Overall a lovely copy of a book often found in deplorable condition bright and clean and in the very handsome original bindings. Jacques James Tissot was a French painter and illustrator. He was a successful painter of Paris society before moving to London in 1871. He became famous as a genre painter of fashionably dressed women shown in various scenes of everyday life. Paintings by Tissot appealed greatly to wealthy British industrialists during the second half of the 19th century. In 1875-6 Tissot met Kathleen Newton a divorcee who became the painter's companion and frequent model. She gave birth to a son Cecil George Newton in 1876 who is believed to be Tissot's son. She moved into Tissot's household in St. John's Wood in 1876 and lived with him until her death in the late stages of consumption in 1882. In 1885 Tissot had a revival of his Catholic faith which led him to spend the rest of his life making paintings about Biblical events. Many of his artist friends were skeptical about his conversion as it conveniently coincided with the French Catholic revival a reaction against the secular attitude of the French Third Republic. "On the face of it Tissot seemed an unlikely convert to religious themes. But the death of his beloved live-in mistress-an Irish Catholic divorcÂŽe with an inconstant past-triggered his return to Paris. There after several misstarts he reinvented himself as an ardent Catholic and devoted the rest of his life to illustrating the Old and New Testaments. He claimed later to have had a vision of Christ while at work in the church of Saint-Sulpice home to Delacroix's Chapel of the Angels. Biblical motifs were still in vogue; It proved a fortuitous conversion. A quest for the historical Jesus in pictures the series sought to strip biblical locales of accumulated artistic imaginings and portray them as they really were. Following common practice Tissot took study trips to the Middle East making extensive use of a camera to record ethnographic and archeological details. At the heart of this drill lay an implicit assumption: That Palestine in the 1900s accurately reflected the way it looked in antiquity its people dress and ways of life fixed in time like archeological remains."
