Book description: "In this amusing satire Erasmus uses an imaginary confrontation between Saint Peter and Pope Julius II as a device for launching a scathing attack upon the abuses of Church authority. In a lively and pungent dialogue the spirit of the recently deceased Pope accompanied by his Evil Genius and his slaughtered mercenaries marches to the gates of Heaven and arrogantly demands admittance. Saint Peter rebukes him for his monstrous personal sins and refuses to admit him while Julius' efforts to indicate himself only further expose his greed and cynicism." -- with a bonus offer-- . 1968. 025399733X .

1798ref. 167893Philadelphia: Printed by John Ormrod 1798. A "determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied" First American edition of Darwin's treatise on the education of women presented here in a well-preserved contemporary binding. This copy's title page is signed in a contemporary hand by one "Eliza Phelan". Although Darwin ultimately sought to educate women so as to make them useful companions for men his was a more equal "different but complementary" conception of the male-female relationship than was commonly held ODNB. The Plan advocated the creation of dedicated schools for girls where such subjects as botany and experimental philosophy would be taught. "In retrospect the most important feature of the book is his determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied. He was taking the first crucial step along the path that has led to sexual equality and feminism" King-Hele p. 284. Darwin wrote from the start with practical applications in mind: the work originated as advice to his two illegitimate daughters for whom he had bought a converted inn to run as a school for girls. It is perhaps for this reason that the work has been described as "the most appealing of Darwin's prose publications" ibid. p. 282. The Plan was originally published in Derby in 1797: the US edition was published a year later with Darwin's slender tract bound with the unrelated Rudiments of Taste a work which had been published several times before in Philadelphia and London over the previous decade.

1521ff. [60], 320 numbered leaves. Woodcut Aldine anchor and dolphin printer's device on the title page and last leaf. Latin Italic type. Some age stain, especially on first and last leaves. In several places the name of Erasmus is obliterated in ink by a censor. An early ownership on the title has been washed out, and a small marginal chip has resulted. Small 8vo. 160 mm. Edges decorated red. Early nineteenth century full vellum binding. Lacks front fly leaf. This second and improved Aldine edition is essentially a reprint of the edition of 1516, edited by Giovanni Battista Cipelli, called Egnazio (1478-1553), with the addition of annotations by Erasmus, which were first published in the Froben edition of 1518. Both Aldine editions contain the relevant texts of Aurelius Victor and Eutropius with the continuation by Paulus Diaconus. The full work was once the common manual of almost everyone who wished to study Roman history, and because of this long and hard use, it is extremely difficult to obtain a clean and perfect example - Renouard. This second edition is considered the more valuable, as containing an 'Index Memorabilium' and the notes of Erasmus and the Venetian philologist Joannes Baptista Egnatius (ca. 1473-1553). Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, commonly known as Suetonius (ca. 69/75-after 130). Suetonius was a close friend to Senator and letter-writer Pliny the Younger. Pliny describes him as 'quiet and studious, a man dedicated to writing'. Through Pliny, Suetonius came into favor with Trajan and Hadrian. Under Trajan he served as secretary of studies (precise functions are uncertain) and director of Imperial archives. Under Hadrian, he became the Emperor's secretary. In 122, Hadrian dismissed him for disrespectful behavior towards Empress Vibia Sabina. Suetonius may have later regained imperial favor under Hadrian and returned to his position. It was probably in Hadrian's time that he wrote his most important surviving work - this set of biographies on the Lives of the Twelve Caesars. Entitled 'De Vita Caesarum' it deals with successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian. It also includes other texts on Roman history, notably Eutropius. This collection of ancient Roman historians is dedicated to the great book collector - Jean Grolier, and is followed by a letter from Erasmus commending the edition as well as Egnatius' scholarship.

1518ref. ABC_49875Cologne: Johann Gymnic 1518. Modern faux-leather-patterned paper with a grey paper label on the spine with the authors name lettered in silver Erasmus v. Rotterdam. 4to. With the title set with in a frame built up from 4 or possibly 6 woodcut illustrations including printer's initials and the date 1518 and 10 woodcut decorated initials. Selection of three letters by the Church Father Jerome of Stridon Saint Jerome ca. 342/47-420 CE edited and annotated by Erasmus. Erasmus felt a profound connection to Jerome. He saw in the ancient Church Father not only a kindred spirit but also a mirror for his own intellectual and spiritual journey. Included in this volume are three letters: first the epistle to Heliodorus on the praise of the solitary life de vita solitaria a stirring defence of ascetic withdrawal from the world; second the epistle to Heliodorus on the misery of human life de miseria vitae humanae a sombre reflection on the fleeting nature of earthly existence; and third the epistle to the monk Rusticus on avoiding familiarity with women de mulieribus evitandis a warning shaped by both monastic ideals and Jeromes personal convictions. Additionally a short fourth letter addressed to Onasus is included at the end of the volume though it does not appear on the title page. In this letter he satirically addresses the priest Onasus who had a deformed nose and his feeling of being unjustly attacked and being made a fool of in other letters and writings by Jerome.With early manuscript annotations corrections etc. of the printed text in the margins and occasional underlining of the text mainly concerning the third letter written in three different hands in both brown and black ink. With a 0.5 cm worm hole in the gutter margin not affecting the text. Occasional foxing and browning and some water staining in the fore-edge margin of several leaves. Overall a good copy.l BM STC German p. 440; USTC 640603 3 copies; Vander Haeghen II 29; VD 16 ZV 7938; not in Adams; De Reuck. Johann Gymnic, hardcover
