The Gratulationsschrift was written shortly after Nietzsche had gained tenure at the University of Basel at the age of 24.

1880rif. 923Chemnitz: Schmeitzner 1880. First Edition. Wraps. Near fine. The Third and Final Part of Human all too Human NIETZSCHE Friedrich. Der Wanderer und Sein Schatten The Wanderer and His Shadow. Schmeitzner Chemnitz 1880. 1 blank leaf TP 3-185 186 = Berichtigungen Octavo. First Edition First Issue in original wrappers. Schaberg 32. Written as a second sequel to Human All Too Human The Wanderer and his Shadow was first published in the year following Nietzsches departure from academia. Perhaps the title here is somewhat autobiographical reflecting Nietzsche and his shadow heading off into the wilderness of the unknown. Wanderer contains a series of aphorisms and was published on December 20 1890. It was received enthusiastically by Nietzsches friends though failed to sell more than 200 copies. Yet it was viewed by Nietzsche himself as a triumph. In a letter to Schmeitzner written on December 18 Nietzsche remarks: "Der vollendete 'Wanderer' ist mir fast etwas Unglaubliches. Die ganze 'Menschlichkeit' mit den 2 Anhängen ist aus der Zeit der bittersten und anhaltendsten Schmerzen - und scheint mir doch ein Ding voller Gesundheit. Dies ist mein Triumph." The completed 'Wanderer' is to me something almost unbelievable. The entire 'humanity' with the 2 supplements is from a time of the most bitter and continual pains - and yet seems to me to be a thing full of health. This is my triumphThe Nietzsche Chronicle. CONDITION: Very good to near fine in original front and rear wrappers. Spine restored with graphics to match the original. Interior crisp and bright. Housed in cloth-backed clamshell box. A gorgeous copy of this final installment of the Menschlisches three-book series. Schmeitzner paperback

Friedrich Nietzsche began his publication career at the age of twenty-two while he was a student of philology at the University of Leipzig. In Nietzsche's day to be a philologist meant that one studied ancient languages texts history philosophy art and even archeology in an attempt to recapture and understand the meaning of Greece and Rome. Nietzsche was a prize student first at the University of Bonn and then in Leipzig and as such he published several papers in scholarly journals… All but one of these essays appeared in the Rheinisches Museum für Philologie which was—and remains today—a respected journal in the field of classical studies. The single exception was The So-Called Contest of Homer and Hesiod which appeared in Volume I of the Acta Societatis Philologae a compendium organized in 1870 by Ritschl that published just four volumes before its demise in 1875. Four of the philological articles were written in German and four in Latin. At least one of the articles On the Sources of Diogenes Laertius was originally composed in German and then translated into the required Latin. The German articles were signed at the end either as 'Friedrich Nietzsche.' or 'F. Nietzsche.' In the Latin articles the author was credited on the first page of each as 'Fridericus Nietzsche'. . In later years Nietzsche was understandably dismissive of his philological works. He once wrote to Georg Brandes that "there are of course also Philologica by me but that need not concern either of us anymore." Certainly this was true in 1888 but twenty years earlier when these articles were published they were of major personal importance. Nietzsche's mentor Ritschl used the first four articles as justification for the recommendation that resulted in Nietzsche's spectacularly early appointment to Basel as professor at the age of twenty-four. Ritschl then went further and allowed the articles to be accepted as the dissertation requirement for Nietzsche's doctorate which was conferred without oral examination on 23 March 1869… All of his philological works were published prior to the appearance of The Birth of Tragedy January 1872 except for the last article the second half of The Florentine Manuscript concerning Homer and Hesiod dated August of 1872 which appeared in February of 1873. It was the last piece of traditional classical scholarship that Nietzsche published.

1889rif. 1007"Was mich nicht umbringt macht mich stärker" That which does not kill me makes me stronger NIETZSCHE Friederich. Götzen-Dämmerung Twilight of the Idols. C.G. Naumann Leipzig 1889. TP i-iii = Vorwort v = Inhalt 1 – 144 Octavo. First Edition Schaberg 56a. Gotzen-Dammerung includes some of Nietzsche's most direct and scathing attacks on many decadent "idols" within the history of philosophy. In classic Nietzsche style he probes the psychological landscapes of these "declining" types whose thinking originates in a place of weakness rather than strength. Many identify Gotzen-Dammerung as both a summary and introduction to Nietzsche's overall philosophy. Nietzsche wrote The Twilight of the Idols originally entitled "Mussiggang eines Psychologen" or "A Psychologist at Leisure" between the end of June and September 1888 and sent the manuscript to Naumann in early September with his final additions to the text being sent October 4th. Naumann finished printing the 1000 copies by November 13th shortly after which advance copies were sent out to Nietzsche and others. The book appeared in book stores on January 24th for sale in wrappers for 2.25 marks and bound for 3.50 marks. Two weeks earlier the now-demented Nietzsche had been transported to a clinic in Basel never to regain his sanity. See Schaberg The Nietzsche Canon 166-169. Scarce in near fine original wrappers; scarcer still as one of the earlier printings with only books by Nietzsche listed on the rear wrapper. According to Schaberg a variant copy emerged when Naumann "printed new covers which have different advertisements on the back side. Where before only Nietzsche's books were listed…now there are advertisements for several other authors which Naumann has begun to publish" 224. Naumann simply replaced the original covers Schaberg 56a with these new ones Schaberg 56b though how many of each variant is unknown. Thus this copy is among those first printed Schaberg 56a listing only works by Nietzsche. CONDITION: Near fine in original printed wrappers. Very minor repairs done to spine. Housed in custom clamshell box preserving this exceptional copy of one of Nietzsche's most accessible works. C.G. Naumann paperback
1872rif. 4535Leipzig: E.W. Fritzsch 1872. First edition. First edition in exceptionally rare original publisher's cloth binding. This copy previously handled by Bill Schaberg: "When I wrote The Nietzsche Canon: A Publication History and Bibliography 1995 I had never even heard of these cloth copies of Nietzsche's first book put out by his publisher Fritzsch. So it was quite a shock when someone offered this copy to me. It turns out that Fritzsch's contemporary advertisements for the book mention a cloth binding so this is not just a figment of some bookseller's imagination." This Nietzsche's first book is a compelling argument for the necessity for art in life. It is fueled by his enthusiasms for Greek tragedy for the philosophy of Schopenhauer and for the music of Wagner to whom this work was dedicated. . Hardcover. IN THE EXCEPTIONALY RARE PUBLISHER'S BINDING. First edition in exceptionally rare original publisher's cloth binding. This copy previously handled by Bill Schaberg: "When I wrote The Nietzsche Canon: A Publication History and Bibliography The University of Chicago Press 1995 I had never even heard of these cloth copies of Nietzsche's first book put out by his publisher Fritzsch. So it was quite a shock when someone offered this copy to me. It turns out that Fritzsch's contemporary advertisements for the book mention a cloth binding so this is not just a figment of some bookseller's imagination." This Nietzsche's first book is a compelling argument for the necessity for art in life. It is fueled by his enthusiasms for Greek tragedy for the philosophy of Schopenhauer and for the music of Wagner to whom this work was dedicated. Nietzsche argues that the tragedy of Ancient Greece was the highest form of art due to its mixture of both Apollonian and Dionysian elements into one seamless whole allowing the spectator to experience the full spectrum of the human condition. The Dionysian element was to be found in the music of the chorus while the Apollonian element was found in the dialogue which gave a concrete symbolism that balanced the Dionysiac revelry. Basically the Apollonian spirit was able to give form to the abstract Dionysian. In contrast to the typical Enlightenment view of ancient Greek culture as noble simple elegant and grandiose Nietzsche believed the Greeks were grappling with pessimism. The universe in which we live is the product of great interacting forces; but we neither observe nor know these as such. What we put together as our conceptions of the world Nietzsche thought never actually addresses the underlying realities. It is human destiny to be controlled by the darkest universal realities and at the same time to live life in a human-dreamt world of illusions. The issue then or so Nietzsche thought is how to experience and understand the Dionysian side of life without destroying the obvious values of the Apollonian side. It is not healthy for an individual or for a whole society to become entirely absorbed in the rule of one or the other. The soundest healthiest foothold is in both. Nietzsche's theory of Athenian tragic drama suggests exactly how before Euripides and Socrates the Dionysian and Apollonian elements of life were artistically woven together. The Greek spectator became healthy through direct experience of the Dionysian within the protective spirit-of-tragedy on the Apollonian stage. The Birth of Tragedy was the best selling book that Nietzsche ever published; still it did not sell quickly. The Wagners had feared that there might not be an audience for the work and their apprehensions proved to be well-founded. A prediction that Nietzsche had once made to Rohde proved true: "The philologists won't read it on account of the music the musicians won't read it on account of the philology and the philosophers won't read it on account of the music and the philology." False hopes for brisk sales plagued the first half-year. In mid-April Nietzsche was writing home that "a new edition of my book will be needed soon"34 but the necessity of printing a second edition did not materialize quickly. By 20 July Fritzsch complained that there had been "no results" even though he had "sent out a fair number of copies." Schaberg The Nietzsche Canon p. 27 8vo 216 x 138 mm pp. i-iii iv 1 2-143 144.
