1798ref. 17365Philadelphia: Printed by John Omrod 1798 First American edition of this educational classic that shows the influence of Rousseau on the work of Erasmus Darwin 1731 – 1802. First published in London the previous year. Included in this edition is an American printing of Mrs. M. Peddle's Rudiments of Taste a popular conduct book was first published in London in 1789 and in the United States in 1790. Contemporary tree sheep with red morocco spine label. Gilt-ruled spine. Twelvemo. Separate title-page for Mrs. M. Peddle's The Rudiments of Taste. Some wear to binding and a couple cracks to sheep on upper board. Quite a fresh copy despite some foxing to first few leaves and some slight toning throughout. A very good tight copy of a fragile book. Darwin wrote the present work after helping his daughters Susan and Mary Parker establish a boarding school for young women in 1794. Here he draws on the theories of Rousseau Locke and Genlis to advocate for the education of women in schools in topics like philosophy the natural sciences history art manufacturing and language. Darwin believed that women should be educated for the purpose of becoming better wives and companions to men but promoted progressive notions that women's education would take place in well-resourced schools rather than in the home and that women should be educated in the concepts of finance industry and manufacturing. In Peddle's The Rudiments of Taste "Classical influence blends with Christian…Peddle recommends reading ancient and modern history travels biography science and good poetry not novels which leave their readers incapable of 'relishing anything superior'" Blain Grundy and Clements eds.

1720ref. 58442à Leyde Leiden: Chez Pierre VanderBoudoin Janisson Vander 1720. Fine. Chez Pierre Vander Boudoin Janisson Vander à Leyde Leiden 1720 9.50 x 17 cm 6 volumes reliés First edition of Nicolas Gueudeville's translation particularly sought after for its illustration with the first printing of 55 half-page figures unsigned in the style of Romain de Hooge or Harrewyn Cohen 347. A frontispiece by Schinove and a large vignette with the arms of Frederick of Gloucester Prince of Hanover. Title pages in red and black. Contemporary full speckled brown calf bindings. Decorated smooth spines. Red morocco title labels and tan morocco volume labels. Triple fillet frame on boards. Head caps partially missing on volumes III and IV the others worn. Tail caps on volumes II III and VI worn. In volume VI from p. 95 to 115 a folded corner. Despite the noted flaws a handsome set well bound. Just like The Praise of Folly translated by Guedeville a little earlier which met with such success that this was the title retained in France for Erasmus's work although it was the translator's The Colloquies is a mixed work not merely an adaptation like most 18th-century translations but a recreation according to Guedeville's aims. The Colloquia Familiares or familiar conversations are a series of dialogues with very varied characters intended to represent the human comedy with a real didactic intention on the author's part: didacticism of language and morals. It is the entire society of the 16th century that parades through these dialogues with a watchword for the whole: the folly of men. Aubrey Rosenberg and most recently Paul Smith have examined Gueudeville's style as a translator and its main characteristics: amplification modernization oralization. As a general rule the translation is twice as long as the original the additions consisting essentially of humorous touches and jokes that accentuate the banter intended for a popular readership that does not necessarily read Latin. Allusions to current events are scattered here and there: the translator does not forget that he is also a journalist and there would undoubtedly remain discoveries to be made if one wanted to scrutinize more precisely the political scope of certain choices. The modernization furthermore consists in the use of fashionable vocabulary as well as the invention of pleasant neologisms. The insertion of oral turns of phrase such as interrogatives engaging the reader finally proceeds from Gueudeville's particular attention to the genre of texts he translates. He is thus sensitive to the theatricality implied by declamations. Similarly from the preface of his Colloquies he addresses his readers: ""Voulez vous bien que nous approfondissions un peu la Matière "" ""Would you like us to delve a little deeper into the Matter"". It nonetheless remains that the translator intends to be very respectful and faithful to Erasmus's work as evidenced by the numerous preliminary pieces on the author but he was above all concerned with amusing while instructing in keeping with the spirit of his century and the result seems to measure up as the philosophical and moralist matter of these dialogues is enhanced by a freshness of tone and banter for which Gueudeville is responsible.

This is a remarkably pretty copy of an extremely influential but generically elusive work printed by a legendary press and bound by the founder of a celebrated French binding dynasty. First published in 1524 the "Colloquia" comprise 63 conversations originally written for Erasmus' students on varied and overlapping topics but these urbane meditations soon became widely read as they covered subjects that intrigued the important thinkers of the day. Their influence was so profound that it is not saying too much to claim that they helped to speed the Reformation. Although they are difficult to classify precisely one could categorize them as including in general terms exposure of ritualistic fallacies invective against corruption within the church examination of popular imposture deploring of contemporary personal sins practical advice for laymen and miscellaneous discussion of amusing topics. In specific terms the text takes on such controversial topics as the value of pilgrimage celibacy and abstinence from meat on Fridays and other prescribed days. Erasmus' "Colloquia" was frequently published by the Elzeviers once in French and a total of nine times in Latin. The text was universally adopted for school use up through the 18th century. Although our lovely little binding is unsigned Culot firmly identifies its tools as those used by Jean-Claude Bozerian 1762-1840. He was the elder of the Bozerian brothers François is referred to as "le jeune" and was active in Paris from 1795 to about 1810. He began his career in Lyon as an apprentice bookseller printer and bookbinder eventually deciding to focus on the latter craft. Marriage to the widow of binder Pierre Boulier allowed him to establish a binding workshop in Paris where he was joined by his brother. His bindings were soon much in demand by French bibliophiles who appreciated their superior materials tasteful design and flawless execution--all characteristics that are plainly evident in the present case.

With Maire's woodcut devices on all four title pages several woodcut decorated initials throughout. 4 works in 1 volume. 264; 330 2 blank; 144; 1 1 blank 6 4 blank 176 2 blank pp. Fine Sammelband with four theological works by Desiderius Erasmus all published by the well-known Leiden printer Joannes Maire. The present work containing four 17th-century editions reflects the enduring popularity of Erasmus' didactic and theological writings nearly a century after his death.Ad 1: Maire's 1641 his only edition of this compact Latin devotional treatise by Erasmus offering a concise moral and theological commentary on two foundational elements of Christian doctrine: the Apostles' Creed and the Ten Commandments. The work was intended for private reflection or instructional use and it is a good example of Erasmus' characteristic blend of lucid humanist prose and practical Christian ethics urging readers toward sincere faith and virtuous conduct.Ad 2: A finely printed Latin edition of one of Erasmus' most celebrated devotional treatises "The Handbook of the Christian Soldier". The work serves as a practical guide to inner piety and spiritual discipline advocating a faith grounded not in ritual or external observance but in the renewal of the heart and the imitation of Christ. It is preceded by a letter of Erasmus to Paulus Volsius dated Basel 15 August 1518.Ad 3: A succinct yet profound devotional treatise by Erasmus offering guidance on the true manner of prayer and the cultivation of inward piety. The present work distils Erasmus' humanist spirituality into a meditative discourse on sincerity humility and the necessity of aligning one's will with divine purpose. It rejects rote recitation and superstition in favour of heartfelt communion with God reflecting the author's lifelong concern with the reform of Christian practice through education and interior devotion. It was written in the form of a letter to the Polish diplomat and palatine voivode of Inowroclaw and of Sieradz Hieronymus Jaroslaw Laski 1496-1542.Ad 4: A thoughtful and conciliatory treatise by Erasmus addressing the urgent need for unity and peace within a divided Christendom. Originally written and published in the aftermath of the early Reformation it embodies the author's lifelong plea for moderation mutual understanding and the healing of ecclesiastical discord through charity and reason rather than dogmatic strife. The present work shows Erasmus' conviction that genuine reform must begin with the renewal of hearts and minds not the multiplication of schisms a message that remained relevant amid the theological turbulence of the 17th century. The work is preceded by a letter written by Erasmus to the last Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Naumburg Julius von Pflug 1499-1564.With an annotation in Latin on the front pastedown 3 owner's inscriptions on the title page of ad 1 ''Sum Justi Caspari Scherii Berol.

Important collection of sources for the biography of Desiderius Erasmus 1469-1536 put together and edited by Petrus Scriverius on the basis of the 1607 edition by Merula of the Compendium vitae including a number of new sources and four hitherto unpublished letters by Erasmus. The humanist and independent scholar Petrus Scriverius 1576-1660 worked in Leiden outside the University but he was in continuous contact with the most famous Leiden professors. Scriverius added commentaries and connecting texts by which the collection gained weight as materials for Erasmus' biography. Also through the later editions edited by Thysius and published by Joannes Maire in 1642 and 1649 the collection became very influential regarding Erasmus' "image" before the first critical biography of Erasmus was published by Joannes Clericus in 1705.With a few near-contemporary manuscript annotations and markings in the margins.

Second edition of Terences Comoediae published by the French humanist and printer Robert Estienne 1503-1599. Publius Terentius Afer also known as Terence ca. 195-ca. 159 BCE was a Roman playwright of North African origin and one of the foremost authors of Latin comedy. The present work includes the commentary of Aelius Donatus 4th century CE based on a manuscript provided by Estiennes father-in-law Josse Bade 1462-1535. Donatus was a Roman grammarian and teacher of rhetoric best known for his grammatical works Ars Minor and Ars Maior. Building on Estiennes earlier 1529 folio edition this one was printed in the new Roman types and divided into acts and scenes a notable innovation. In addition Estienne incorporated Erasmus treatise on comedic metres which provided a scholarly analysis of the rhythmic and metric structures of classical comedies enhancing readers understanding of Terences original cadence and comedic effect.The boards are severely rubbed light foxing and staining throughout the title page is very slightly browned the head margin is cut slightly short.

Episcopvm mense Septembri M.D.XLVI. First edition. Decorated with numerous historiated initials. Printer's device on the title page and verso of the final leaf. Absent from French catalogues but present in English catalogues 2 copies in Germany at the GBV union catalogue of northern Germany and one at the University of Munich. The 1544 edition published in Paris does not include Erasmus's notes and the complete assembly of authors gathered in this edition; the Parisian edition was reissued in 1551 in Lyon by Gryphium but not this Froben edition which reproduces only Egnazio's edition. The first edition of Suetonius dates from 1479. Full sheep binding 17th century decorated raised spine red morocco title label. Overall rubbed and worn on boards numerous scratches upper headcap missing 2 upper corners broken and missing. Fine interior condition with pale dampstaining running through about twenty pages at top center pp. 29 to 45. Several pagination errors same number repeated leaf skipped without lack. The evident interest of this edition was to gather together all the writers of antiquity who wrote about the Roman empire not only Suetonius but also rarer writers such as Dio Cassius translated by Merula Herodian translated by Angelo Ambrogini Poliziano Spartianus or Lampidius Velleius Paterculus Vulcatius Gallicanus Ammianus Marcellinus. Two commentators: Erasmus died in 1536 and Giovanni Battista Egnazio 1478-1553. Froben 1501-1563 is one of the great publishers of the Renaissance and the worthy successor of Johann Froben the first of the dynasty who established his printing house in Basel in 1491; it was with him that Erasmus was linked and worked and Jerome Froben merely reaped the fruits. This edition is the alliance of Froben and Nikolaus Episcopius his brother-in-law. Gothic manuscript note: ""pour le couvent de l'observance des Lyon"" and manuscript pagination of the authors.
