The Botanic Garden; A Poem in two Parts

1791rif. 93718London, printed for J. Johnson, 1791, in-4, Front, XII-214-126-[2] pp, 9 pl. dont 1 depl.; front, [2]-IX-197 pp, 9 pl, Reliure ancienne, dos lisse, plats de veau brun rapportés, Célèbre poème scientifique du grand père de Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). Cet exemplaire comprend la première édition de la première partie (The Economy of Vegetation) et la troisième édition de la deuxième partie (The Loves of the Plants), enrichie de deux planches supplémentaires par rapport à la première édition de 1789. Le Jardin botanique fut publié de manière inversée, selon le souhait de l'auteur, qui fit d'abord paraître la seconde partie de l'ouvrage (1789 et 1790), la jugeant plus apte à divertir et charmer. Comme dans les autres oeuvres d'Erasmus Darwin, ce poème contient un grand nombre d'informations scientifiques souvent avancées. La première partie, plus scientifique, couvre la philosophie naturelle et fait état de nombreuses recherches et inventions contemporaines, telle que l'histoire du cosmos. En seconde partie, l'auteur explique le système de la reproduction sexuée de Linné avec les propriétés remarquables de certaines plantes en particulier. L'aïeul de Charles postule que la reproduction sexuelle est au coeur des changements et des progrès de l'évolution, tant chez les humains que chez les plantes. Cette conception d'une transformation progressive des espèces appartient aux sciences de la reproduction et rejoint les théories pré-évolutionnistes qui sont apparues à l'aube du XIXe siècle (Laniel-Musitelli). Néanmoins, son petit-fils, Charles, déclara que la théorie d'Erasmus n'avait pas eu d'effet sur L'origine des espèces. Le Jardin botanique est également précieux pour son illustration, qui comporte deux frontispices, 18 planches et une vignette dans le texte : 5 des planches du volume I ont été gravées par William Blake, soit 4 gravures du vase de Portland et la planche de la Fertilisation de l'Égypte, d'après un dessin de Johann Heinrich Füssli (Henry Fuseli), célèbre peintre du Cauchemar.

1523rif. ABC_49899Basel 1523. Small 8vo 10.7 x 15.2 cm. Johann Froben Modern blind-tooled marbled calf bound by Period Bookbinders from Bath England with the author and title lettered in gold at the head of the spine the year at the foot of the spine. With 2 small woodcut illustrations incorporating Frobens device on the title page and the verso of the final leaf a woodcut headpiece above the dedication and two woodcut decorated initials. 275 ll. First edition of Erasmus Paraphrase on the gospel of Luke. Unlike his paraphrases on the gospels of Matthew Mark and John each dedicated to rulers of France or the Holy Roman Empire this work was addressed to King Henry VIII of England. The lengthy dedicatory preface which spans the first twelve leaves takes the form of a personal letter from Erasmus to the king. The Paraphrase on Luke was also unique in its format: it was the only one of the gospel paraphrases to be first published in octavo. The Paraphrases themselves were a novel form of literature at the time: more than mere translations or commentaries they were interpretative retellings of the gospels aiming to clarify the theological and moral meaning of Scripture for a wider audience. Despite Erasmus towering knowledge of the Church Fathers and his editorial work on patristic texts his method in the Paraphrase on Luke was not one of direct quotation from memory. Instead as Jan Bloemendal states Erasmus likely worked with various compilatory sources on his desk texts such as Bedes commentary on Luke the Glossa Ordinaria a medieval annotated Bible and Aquinas Catena Aurea which gathered together centuries of Christian interpretation. Through these sources Erasmus was able to channel the voice of the early Church while crafting something new and distinctly his own.Modern scholarship has also examined the layered narrative voices in the paraphrase on Luke. According to Bloemendal Erasmus plays with the roles of paraphrast narrator and evangelist creating a subtle interplay between himself and the biblical Luke. This device allowed Erasmus to offer veiled critiques on the abuses and moral failings of his own time under the guise of Lukes voice while also inviting his readers into a deeper more personal engagement with Scripture.With some contemporary underlining and annotations primarily consisting of corrections textual additions and markings of notable passages; a later bibliographical annotation in brown ink at the head of the title page "Panzer VI 237" and a small bookbinders label mounted in the bottom inner corner of the recto of the final blank flyleaf Period Bookbinders Bath England Tel 0225 20698.

1539rif. ABC_49727Antwerp: sub intersignio Rubri Castri = Guilielmus Montanus 1539. 18th-century half vellum with a brown paper title label on the spine lettered in black the manuscript year of publication at the foot of the spine decorated paper sides with a hand drawn floral design in red and blue ink red edges. Small 8vo. With an architectural woodcut border on the title page 7 decorated metalcut initials 5 woodcut headpieces 7 woodcut tailpieces and a woodcut printer's device at the end of the work. Scarce early edition of an influential manual on preaching. It was one of the last major works which Erasmus produced and is considered one of his most significant treatises on theology. The work was incredibly popular in his own time as Erasmus had been pressured for many years to write it. The present edition which is the first by Montanus and the third authorised edition is relatively scarce however with only two other copies recorded in sales records of the 21st century."The Ecclesiastes is really a collection of three works: a theological treatise on the importance of preaching and the role of the preacher in the church Book I a textbook on homiletics and hermeneutics which provides the preacher with the basic tools necessary for both the interpretation of scripture and the construction and delivery of sermons based on biblical terms Books II and III and a list of sermon topics with an explanation of how some of them should be developed. From this organization it is clear that Erasmus attempted to provide his contemporaries with both a theology of preaching and clear and precise advice on the art of preaching" Kleinhans.With 18th-century annotations on the front pastedown and in the margins of some of the leaves several portions of text are underlined. The edges and corners of the boards are somewhat scuffed the vellum is somewhat soiled and stained. The work is somewhat browned throughout with brown ink stains on a few leaves affecting a few words minor loss of material in the lower margin of a7 and a8 without affecting the text.

1547rif. 49141Lyon: Sebastian Gryphius 1547. Hardcover. Very Good-. 16mo in 8s: a-z8 A-Z8 aa8 bb8 =384 leaves; blank bb7-8. 763 5 blankpp. Printer's device at title woodcut lettrines. Text in italic headlines and chapter headings in roman; printed marginalia. Later pigskin over bevelled boards tooled in blind brass clasps one of two and catches manuscript title at spine. Extensive old manuscript notes at front endleaf and four blank leaves at the end including the two integral blanks; occasional marginalia and underlining. Title soiled with some slight erosion at margin from oxidation of the clasps else a very good copy with clean fresh text throughout. Complete with the two final blank leaves. Second Gryphius edition and a rather uncommon early sixteenth-century printing of Erasmus' Latin translation of the New Testament first published at Basel in 1516. According to Baudrier Ly. V. 804101/Cat. de Lignerolles Paris Porquet 1894 no. 48 Gryphius first published this translation in 1542 and 1543 as a 16mo of 847 pages; neither of these issues appear in Deleveau & Hillard. Like the present edition these early Gryphius printings of the Erasmus New Testament survive in only a handful of copies. The text opens with Erasmus' dedication to pope Leo X followed by his preface to the reader a general index of the New Testament corpus a listing of the chapters of the four Gospels and a brief passage from Jerome's catalogue of ecclesiastical writings. The editor's introductions precede each book. The text concludes with Erasmus' translation of a brief discussion of apocryphal literature partly from Athanasius though Erasmus questions the attribution: "De libris utriusque testamenti partim reiectus aut non sine contradictione admissis partim apocryphis ex Athanasio tametsi mihi suspectus est titulus." Provenance and annotations: Extensive early annotations in more than one hand appear throughout the book; many marginal notes have been added throughout the Gospel of Matthew. At the front of the book beginning with the free endleaf: "Poeta de Pythogora" several stanzas in Latin and Greek; facing the title: A morning prayer "Oro matutina lecturis oracula divina" 11 lines; an accounting of biblical eras 10 lines since Abraham David and the Babylonian Exile appears at the verso of the title leaf. The final blank page the two intergral blank leaves and two additional blanks added by the binder are filled with notes in several different hands including: a passage from Augustine's De doctrina christianae 14 lines; noted as book 2 chapters 11 and 12 along with four lines about Tertullian; four pages of notes on the twelve disciples numbered; a Greek text discussing the divine names in which the tetragrammaton is written in Hebrew letters; a passage from a letter of Basilius Magnus in Greek with Latin translation. Printed label of Edward Davis Hoblyn 1809-1881 and his manuscript entry dated 1831 at the free endleaf. Edward was likely related to the renowned book collector Robert Hoblyn 1710-1756 of Cornwall. A catalogue of Robert's collection was printed in 1768 as Bibliotheca Hobliniana and reissued by Murray in 1769 with a new titlepage. The library remained with Robert's widow and was sold in 1778. The present work is not listed in the Bibliotheca though no fewer than nineteen 16th-century Latin Bibles and Testaments appear in the catalogue. Gift inscription of D. N. Goodman of San Francisco California to Father J. L. Damas at front pastedown dated 1935. References: Baudrier 8 217. Baumgarten Nach. v. merkw.

excerpts from Martin Luther | edited by Erasmus SarceriusBiblio.com

THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN EISLEBEN LUTHER'S FIRST PRINTED APPEARANCE IN THE CITY OF HIS BIRTH AND DEATH

1554rif. 0050840 p. 4to A-E4 194 x 138 mm --- First and only edition of this report of the 1554 Eisleben Synod—which happens to have been the first book printed in Eisleben perhaps best known today as the birthplace of Martin Luther. USTC alone mentions an edition of Johannes Agricola's Ain Christliche Kinder printed at Eisleben in 1528 though it reports no copies USTC 710818. We suspect this refers to a copy once at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin tragically lost in the war. Like many editions of the Christliche Kinder the title indicates the author prepared the catechism for his students in Eisleben where he taught. Hence a cataloger might mistakenly provide Eisleben as place of printing when no other city appears on the title page. While Henry Cotton reports Eisleben was printing as early as 1535 Deschamps found no evidence of this and defers to the Synod publications of 1554 as the earliest. For what it's worth VD16 reports no Eisleben imprints before 1554. ¶ This particular synod was occasioned by three pastors in Mansfeld: Stephan Agricola Moritz Heling and Georg Major. All had professed that good works were necessary for salvation which obviously smacked of papistry. Nearly a hundred attended the synod with a complete list of names here on leaves C1v-C3r. While the vast majority did reject the necessity of good works the debate ended like so many noncommittal institutional positions "without clear wording as to whether an agreement was reached with the opponents at all and without mentioning the dismissal of Agricola and Heling" Dingel. ¶ But at least the report left us with Luther's first printed appearance in the city of his birth. Indeed half of the content beginning on C3v consists of excerpts from Luther's vast corpus. The synod appears to be citing Hans Lufft's multivolume Wittenberg edition. Compare Luther cited in our pamphlet aus dem vierden Tomo fol. 550 to >fol. 550v in Lufft's fourth volume 1551. Luther's family moved to nearby Mansfeld—the locus of our pamphlet's controversy—the year after he was born where he spent most of his youth. Family business brought Luther back to Mansfeld in 1546. He preached his final antisemitic sermon in Eisleben just a few days before his death. ¶ Jakob Bärwald was a Leipzig printer. He produced just a handful of items in Eisleben before turning the press over to Urban Gaubisch in 1554 his former apprentice and now husband to his sister-in-law. Of Bärwald's five Eisleben items two have precisely dated colophons: our Acta April 4 and an >Orationby Georg Lauterbeck April 7; VD16 L776. The preface to Sleidanus's >Kurtze summa is dated 16 April VD16 S6720. Sarcerius dates the text of his >TrostschrifftMay 5 VD16 S1779. Which leaves only Sarcerius's Form und Weise einer Visitation to possibly rival the April 4 Acta for priority VD16 S1705 and ZV20662 representing two slightly different title settings. And priority appears to go to the Acta. His two imprints with precise dates and the three without form two distinct groups even beyond the precise colophons with Form und Weise belonging to the second group. The later imprints those without precise colophons have dated title pages; the Acta and Oration have no imprint information whatsoever on their title pages. The Acta and Oration use the same woodcut decoration on the title which Bärwald only deploys again beneath the errata in Form und Weise; he preferred different decorations for the other three titles. This is consistent with Sabine Arend's assessment whose research found that Form und Weise "flowed from his pen between April and June 1554." And for what it's worth our source a reputable German auction house citing reference sources beyond our own was unequivocal in calling this Eisleben's first printed book. ¶ Of course it's satisfying to have the first printed book from any given city. But beyond that to have Luther's first printed appearance in the city of both his birth and death.it feels almost totemic. ¶ We find two copies in North America Harvard and Yale. --- PROVENANCE: A couple of numbers inked on the title page perhaps shelfmarks of the 18th or 19th centuries. Scattered early underlining on a handful of pages. Faint evidence of an old ink stamp on the title. --- CONDITION: Recent full brown calfskin the boards paneled in blind the spine tooled in gold. ¶ Title leaf and blank verso of the final leaf soiled; scattered dark staining in the lower margin a few leaves with large stains in the text; title leaf and final leaf repaired at the outer margin the other outer margins generally a bit ragged but damage not quite reaching the text. --- REFERENCES: USTC 608666; VD16 A151 ¶ Henry Cotton A Typographical Gazetteer Oxford Univ 1831 >p. 132 "Eisleben a town of Upper Saxony near Mansfeld memorable for the birth of Luther.

Liber de sarcienda ecclesiae concordia deque sedandis opinionum dissidiis cum aliis non nullis lectu dignis. Omnia recens nata et nunc primum typis excusa.

1523rif. ABC_50186Antwerp: Michiel Hillen van Hoochstraten 1523. Modern boards covered with a leaf from a Latin incunable probably part of a commentary on the Song of Solomon red sprinkled edges. 8vo. With a full-page woodcut illustration incorporating Hillen van Hoochstratens device on the last page and 3 woodcut decorated initials. First Antwerp edition published in the same year as the first Froben edition in Basel of Erasmus De sarcienda ecclesiae concordia. Dedicated to Julius Pflug of Eytra 1499-1564 later the last Catholic Bishop of Naumburg the work sets out Erasmus most urgent appeal for unity at a moment when the fractures of the Reformation were widening by the month. Pflug who valued peace and moderation shared Erasmus unease about the increasingly bitter debates dividing Western Christendom.De sarcienda ecclesiae concordia opens as a commentary on psalm 83 in which Erasmus underscores the spiritual necessity of harmony within the Church. From this biblical foundation he advances his lifelong conviction: that a polarised Christendom is fundamentally at odds with the teaching and example of Christ. In passages marked by clarity moral urgency and classical poise Erasmus argues that contentious theology has little to do with genuine faith and everything to do with human pride.Appended to the treatise is the brief Precatio pro pace ecclesiae addressed to the Cologne jurist Johann Rinck further underlining Erasmus conviction that peace moderation and the diligent search for concord must prevail over doctrinal intransigence.With very minor underlining on three pages and one tiny marginal annotation a small ink stain in the upper margin of the title page a small wormhole running from leaves A6 to B6 and some occasional water staining confined to the margins. Otherwise in good condition.l Adams E 387; De Reuck 248; Erasmus online 2340; Nijhoff & Kronenberg 798; STCV 12920380; USTC 403885; Vanderhaeghen I 117. Michiel Hillen van Hoochstraten, hardcover

Numerous beautiful woodcut allegorical initials both large and smaller throughout. 4 - title dedications 14 - index 6 314 pp. First editions of both works being the first edition of the works "Several Studies" of St. Eucharius most of them printed for the first time here as well as the first edition of Rodulfus Tortarius' or Radulphus Flaviacensis commentaries of Leviticus the third of the Books of Moses written in Latin in 20 books. Saint Eucherius bishop of Lyon ca. 380 - ca. 449 was a high-born and high-ranking ecclesiastic in the Christian Church of Gaul. He is remembered for his letters advocating extreme self-abnegation. Henry Wace ranked him "except perhaps St. Irenaeus the most distinguished occupant of that see"."St. Eucherius Bishop of Lyons theologian born in the latter half of the fourth century; died about 449. On the death of his wife he withdrew to the monastery of Lérins where his sons Veranius and Salonius lived and soon afterward to the neighbouring island of Lerona now Sainte-Marguerite where he devoted his time to study and mortification. Desirous of joining the anchorites in the deserts of the East he consulted John Cassian who in reply sent him some of his "Collationes" describing the daily lives of the hermits of the Thebaid. It was at this time that Eucherius wrote his beautiful letter "De laude Eremi" to St. Hilary of Arles c. 428. Though imitating the virtues of the Egyptian solitaries he kept in touch with men renowned for learning and piety e.g. Cassian St. Hilary of Arles St. Honoratus later Bishop of Marseilles and Valerian to whom he wrote his "Epistola parænetica de contemptu mundi". The fame of Eucherius was soon so widespread in southeastern Gaul that he was chosen Bishop of Lyons. This was probably in 434; it is certain at least that he attended the First Council of Orange 441 as Metropolitan of Lyons and that he retained this dignity until his death. In addition to the above-mentioned letters Eucherius wrote "Formularium spiritualis intelligentiæ ad Veranium" and "Institutiones ad Salonium" besides many homilies. His works have been published both separately and among the writings of the Fathers." Catholic Encyclopedia. His "Epistola paraenetica ad Valerianum cognatum de contemptu mundi "Epistle of exhortation to his kinsman Valerian On the contempt of the world" is an expression of the despair for the present and future of the world in its last throes shared by many educated men of Late Antiquity with hope for a world to come. Erasmus thought so highly of its Latin style that he edited and published it at Basel in 1520. His commentaries on the work are also included here. His "Liber formularum spiritalis intelligentiae" which is addressed to his son Veranius is a defence of the lawfulness of reading an allegorical sense in Scripture bringing to bear the metaphors in Psalms and such phrases as "the hand of God" The term anagoge in Greek is employed for the application of Scripture to the heavenly Jerusalem to come and there are other examples of what would become classic Medieval hermeneutics.Rodulfus Tortarius also known as Raoul of Tourtier Raoul de La Tourte Radulphus Flaviacensis c.1063 - c.1122 was a French Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Fleury-sur-Loire and a poet writing in Latin. He is known both for his style of writing his biblical commentaries and religious works and his literary and comic tales. His commentary on "Leviticus" is considered important and influential. The first edition of the work is rare. hardcover
