A superb and precious copy with huge margins ink rubricated initials and the first two letters illuminated the first one being enhanced in gilt. Very rare first incunabula edition of the Introduction à la philosophie de Platon by Alcinous. Given by Antoine Koburger. It is the only one mentioned by Goff. Goff A-365 ; Hain 620; Pellechet 419; Stillwell A-332 ; Proctor 1965 ; BMC II 412 ; Panzer p.9 ; Santander II n°58 ; A. A. Renouard Catalogue de la bibliothèque d'un amateur I p.174. A superb and precious copy with rubricated initials in red ink and the first two letters illuminated the first one being enhanced in gilt. "A rare piece." Renouard "First very rare edition printed on long lines with no distinction of chapter or sections and without numbers signatures or catchwords. The totality of this volume is of 22 printed leaves: at the beginning there is a dedication epistle by the bishop of Tropea Petrus Balbus Pisanus author of this Latin version of Alcinous to the cardinal Nic. De Cusa ; then comes the text at the end of which we can read this subscription: Epitoma Alcinoi in disciplinaru Platonis definit. Anno salutis. M. CCCC. LXXII. Die vero XXIIII. Mensis Novebris."Santander who lists this edition as being the first Antoine Koburger 1443-1515 a German editor bookseller and one of the most distinguished and active printers of the 15th century was renowned for the "Chroniques de Nuremberg" he published in 1493. Alcinous was popular in the 1st century CE. A student of the school of Alexandria and faithful to its spirit he was one of the first to start blending into Plato's doctrine Aristotle's opinions and some oriental ideas. There is sufficient proof of that in his Introduction à la philosophie de Platon a digest where he largely exposes this vast system while adding some foreign elements to it. For example when he speaks of spirits and demons he seems to know a lot more than Plato: to him some are visible and some invisible; he distributes them among all of the elements and tells us about their relationships their influence — before our eyes a complete demonology is born from which the only next step possible is towards magic." Dictionnaire des Sciences philosophiques pp.48-49 We know of Plato and some of his texts; but there are only a few who have an accurate and precise idea of the whole philosophical system of the prince of philosophers. Presenting to amateurs of philosophy a summarized tableau of what Platonism is was doing them a great favor. This is what the Platonist philosopher Alcinous undertook and executed in this book that we can consider like a lost pearl in the dust of the centuries. How intriguing it is to find gathered in a miniature frame a philosophical system that for so long sat at the highest level of the opinion especially nowadays when this kind of curiosity is hard to satisfy: for it is difficult to have in one's possession the complete works of Plato. Plato's texts are numerous and quite diverse but there is no order that links the different treaties between them. This reduced map of Platonism must be considered very precious as it gives the mind the ability to grasp this vast ensemble at first glance. J. J. Combes-Dounous This translation of Alcinous' text is due to the talent of Pietro Balbus.

Collection of Francis Howard Forbes 1881-1957 professor of Greek language and literature at Amherst College his round pictorial bookplate of Attic-style scribes on front pastedown. This particular copy was cared for by Oxford institutions for a good part of its history then crossed into a New England personal library of a classical scholar sometime in the early 20th century. This is the self-contained volume from the 1584-1587 collected edition of the works of Aristotle in Greek and the Metaphysica of Theophrastus. Friedrich Sylburg 1536-1596 was a German classical scholar who made important contributions to several popular Greek texts of the later sixteenth century like Estiennes Greek Thesaurus. In 1583 Sylburg resigned from an educational post he held at Lich and moved to Frankfurt to work as leading active editor for the enterprising Wechel publishers. The humanist printers flourished in three distinct cities; Paris Frankfurt and Hanau. Andreas Wechel settled the firm in Frankfurt and distinguished it mainly by publishing neo-Latin literature classical philology and works by Ramus and his followers. The relationship between Sylburg and the Wechel printers was a seamless match; this 1585 edition of Aristotle was praised for its great critical power and finesse. It is widely regarded as the authoritative edition of its kind. Sound example of a sixteenth century published work on Aristotelian principles born from the inventive relationship between scholar and press.Fabricius-Harles III 444; Hoffmann I 275 and 289.

Woodcut printers device of Scotus with personification of globe and motto FIAT PAX IN VIRTUTE Peace be with thee.

Sound copy enhanced by Latin marginalia in an contemporary hand. The Renaissance public as a part of their reading system frequently engaged Aristotles natural writings. Even at the height of this period at a time when Theodore Gaza had already produced his celebrated versions of Aristotles zoological corpus these works obtained wide recognition. Aristotles zoological works edited by Theodore Gaza with Italian Renaissance commentary sparked on by the availability of Gazas text. Gazas version of the treatises were paraphrases of Aristotles zoological works but also included personal observations and information drawn from the other authors. Gaza in fact held a virtual monopoly on the biological works of Aristotle his translation completely overshadowing those before him and especially of his rival George of Trebizond. Gazas text had been used mainly as a source of quotations and only in philological and medical works such as Castigationes plinianae by Ermolao Barbaro or Benedettis Historia corporis humani. By 1521 starting with a course on the De Partibus animalium held in Bologna did the official Renaissance tradition of interpretation on Aristotles zoology take form. The Latin text which contributed to this renewed interest was none other than the elegant translation by Gaza. University Aristotelianism specifically that concerning the zoology was approached by the various interpreters in the context of systematic exploration of the encyclopedic work as a whole. The ample annotations of this volume showcase precisely this type of interaction with the evolving conversation. Gazas work throws light on Renaissance Aristotelianism carried out through the grid of scholastic commentary. Hieronymus Scotus hardcover
