1797ref. 17295New York; Philadelphia: T. & J. Swords Volume 1; T. Dobson Volume 2 parts I and II 1797. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. Complete with all half-titles and blanks. With 6 colored plates in Volume 1. Contemporary calf spine labels; text toned due to paper stock. Overall an excellent copy. First American editions of Erasmus Darwin’s important hypothesis on evolution which included discussion of how competition and sexual selection could cause change in species an idea on which his grandson Charles must certainly have drawn. Darwin’s focus here is the functioning of the body and he includes significant sections on anatomy and physiology as well as psychology. He was an early advocate of the inheritance of acquired characteristics similar to what Lamarck later developed. “The Zoonomia contains a system of pathology and a treatise on generation. Darwin believed that ‘one and the same kind of living filaments is and has been the cause of life’” Garrison & Morton.

1522ref. 032982Coloniae: Heronem Alopeciu 1522 An extremely scarce early edition published in September 1522 - a month after the authorised Basel edition - by Hero Alopecius in Cologne. We have only been able to find one reference to it University of Toronto. Erasmus arranged publication of the Basel edition in August 1522 in response to the appearance of an unauthorised version in Cambridge in 1521. He had originally worked on the content in 1509-1511 and this work developed from his earlier writing and lectures became a popular and important text book on the writing of letters. It was much reprinted. This copy is newly rebound in full calf with panelled design to boards and gilt titles to spine. The page edges are red although this may not be contemporary. New endpapers. Contents with 2 initial blanks - the first with ink notation on the edition - this looks likely to be 1800's in date and the paper does not look contemporary. Title with elaborate design including 2 cherubs holding a shield with 3 crowns with contemporary latin note at the top; letter from Erasmus to Nicolao Beraldo pp 2-4; text with beautiful decorative initial capitals pp 5-414 Finis. No final blanks. There is some scholarly annotation in latin and gentle underlining - this could be contemporary. There are a number of mispaginations but the ties work in all cases: 47-74-75-50; 51-78-79-54; 55-82-83-58; 59-98-87-62-63-90-65; 170-117-172; 177-168-179; 192-191-192-193. There are a number of professional paper repairs: to the side of the title page and page 13/14; from p 357 onwards where the top corner tips had been burnt out - this begins with the just the tip but towards the end of the work includes some page numbers and just clips a couple of margin notes - the final 2 leaves have repair to sides. These corners do not have the red edges. Towards the end of the work there are a few pages with some grubbiness at the bottom corners. Otherwise the work is very clean with high quality paper.

The present volume of Paraphrases is the first collected edition of Erasmus’ monumental commentary on the Gospels which was composed and published between 1517 and 1523. Erasmus began the work on the commentary of the Gospels with the Pauline epistles. They were first issued separately starting with the paraphrase of Romans in 1517 Thierry Martens continued with both epistles of Corinthians 1519 Thierry Martens and the Galatians which was published in 1520 by Martens in Louvain and Froben in Basel. The remaining epistles appeared by 1521 when they were also published in a collected edition by Froben.

Erasmus’ famous pacifist text on the adage “dulce bellum inexpertis" war is sweet to those who have not tried it. It was first published in the revised and enlarged edition of “Adages” called “Proverbiorum chiliades" 1515 Basel; Froben and published separately in 1517 also by Froben. “Bellum" is the first essay where Erasmus speaks of Jews contemporary to him praises them along with the Turks and the pagans as well as various peoples of Europe Asia and Africa for their virtuous living. He writes: “When has the sword murder arson plundering turned conquered people into good Christians! Openly to be a Turk or a Jew is lesser evil than to pretend to be a Christian. I prefer a real Turk to a false Christian.” The printer Simon de Colines 1480–1546 is most notable for his 1525 “Grandes Heures de Simon de Colines” the illustrator was the same Geoffroy Tory 1480–1533 who made the design of the woodcut border of this book.
