Illustrated with 12 engraved portraits. 8 373; 2 448 pp. 8vo. Later edition of this famous collection of humanist satirical letters illustrated with 12 full-page portraits of prominent humanists. A note in OCLC comments on the long running authorship debate: "Authorship of the Epistolae formerly attributed to Reuchlin Erasmus Hutten and others. More recent researches have made it almost certain that Crotus Rubeanus and Ulrich von Hutten were the main contributors. To Crotus are credited the first 41 letters: to Hutten the 7 letters added later to the original series and most of the 62 letters of the second series with the possible co-operation of a third person Hermann von dem Busche. The authorship of the rest remains doubtful J.A. Raspe unknown

"The Botanic Garden an annotated scientific poem in Augustan couplets appeared in two parts of which the second The Loves of the Plants 1789 was published before the first The Economy of Vegetation 1791. Darwin decided to publish the second part of the work first because it was better suited 'to entertain and charm.' The first part of the work is more ambitious than the second covering all natural philosophy and embodying many of the researches and inventions of Wedgwood Watt Boulton and others. The design of the totality was Darwin wrote 'To enlist Imagination under the banner of Science . . . to induce the ingenious to cultivate the knowledge of botany . . . and recommending to their attention the immortal works of the celebrated Swedish naturalist-Linnaeus'" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. The Botanic Garden is also important for the five plates in Vol. I engraved by William Blake: four engravings of the Portland vase and the "Fertilization of Egypt" after a design by Fuseli.

Titles within ornamental woodcut border initials printer's device in colophon. 465 i.e. 495 1; 167 1; and 141 3 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. First collected editions of these "Paraphrases" of the letters of Paul which were undertaken shortly after Erasmus's revolutionary edition of the Greek New Testament of 1516. As part of that monumental reconstruction of the New Testament Erasmus' intention was to "retell" the books of the New Testament in one uninterrupted voice without the clutter of textual commentary or critical interruption. It was a bold undertaking and in 1517 Erasmus began with the letters of Paul. They were first issued separately starting with Romans in 1517; and editions appeared in Louvain Thierry Martens Leipzig Valentin Schumann and Basel Johann Froben. The collected issues - such as the three which are bound together in this exquisite volume - began to be issued in Basel by Froben in 1519; and finally in 1521 Froben issued a collected edition of all of the Pauline letters. All of the lifetime editions both separate and collected are rare on the market; this copy is in a well preserved contemporary pigskin binding first binding.
