Born into a family of engravers he initially followed this trade before turning to literature. This edition was welcomed with enthusiastic reviews the Literary Chronicle highlighting that "The sketches are bold and spirited full of character; there is scarcely an extraneous or unnecessary line in their whole engraving". This copy was bound for Sotheran's in London for Joseph Cockfield Dimsdale 1849-1912 with his gilt monogram stamp on the front cover. Dimsdale was a British banker and Conservative politician who served as Lord Mayor of London from 1901 to 1902. Quarto 270 x 193 mm. With 50 mounted wood-engraved illustrations.

Internally a fresh and clean copy with only a bit of occasional brownspotting. Endpapers with a bit of soiling. 2 bookplates to inside of front board: Gilbert Redgrave London dated 1894 & Gorden M. Jones Virginia. Text in Greek and Latin. Woodcut title-page numerous woodcut intials throughout and more than 600 woodcut illustrations in the text. 20 1187 1 88 - Index pp. First edition thus being the most important and influential edition of Theophrastus' seminal work "Enquiry into Plants" - the first systematization of the botanical world and the most important contribution to botanical science up until the Renaissance. Bodaeus von Stapel's groundbreaking edition constitutes the first illustrated edition of Theophrastus' masterpiece as well as the first with both Greek and Latin text. Furthermore von Stapel has not only collected all relevant commentaries and knowledge he has also added corrections and much foundational information turning the work into one of the most influential botanical works of the 17th century profoundly influencing the likes of Linnaeus and contributing significantly to the development of modern scientific botany. "This edition displays great care and research; the notes are numerous and learned and all botanical information to be gleaned from Aristotle Pliny Dioscorides and other ancient writers seems to be embodied in this work. The Greek text is Heinsius's; the Latin version is that of the editor who has placed Gaza's in the margin with frequent corrections. The conjectures of Scaliger Constantine and Salmasius are also incorporated. it has collected into one body the opinions of the old writers on the subject of the PLANTS. It contains some wood-cuts of the rarer species which are much better uncoloured than coloured." Dibdin II:498. The numerous woodcut plant illustrations were partly copied from other sources and partly made especially for this edition. Thus apart from being "one of the best and most thoughtfully prepared of all the editions of Theophrastos" Hunt our editor has also made original contributions that are of great importance. "It is interesting not only because of the brilliance of the editing but curiously enough to the American botanist as well for involving in the discussion certain species from Virginia other parts of the New World and Asia. The illustrations of these plants have been largely overlooked in botanical history because of their incidental presence in a work which might not be expected to contain anything of the sort. Some were merely borrowed from l'Ecluse or de Lobel but others seem original in this work" H.H. Bartlett: Fifty-five Rare Books - quoted by Hunt.At the height of the Renaissance with the expansion of the known world and the spreading of the book due to the invention of the printing press many new publications on plants appeared. Most of these publications however were primarily concerned with the medicinal qualities of individual plants and only few authors or editors took an interest in the general nature of the plants and how they could systematically be classified. One of the few exceptions was Bodaeus von Stapel. With his seminal 1644 edition of "Historia Plantarum" he focused on the overarching classification system of plants and took Theophrastus' work a step further adding essential commentaries and illustrations - illustrations that were to be copied for centuries after. These illustrations remain the standard illustrations of Theophrastus' foundational work. This edition of Theophrastus' "Historia Plantarum" became the standard edition of that earliest work on systematic botany and the edition that all serious scientific botanists of the 17th and 18th centuries will have studied. "Linnaeus in the practice of his favourite art of systematizing classified not only plants but the writers about them. The writers he distinguishes primarily as Botanists and Plant Lovers recognizing as Botanists only such as treat of plants from some philosophic or scientific point of view. Choosing his illustrations from annals of remote antiquity he names among the earliest of the Greeks who wrote of plants Hippocrates; but because he wrote of plants only in the interests of medicine Linnaeus styles him Father of Medicine. Similarly Aristotle. is down in the Linnaean list of ancient celebrities as Prince of Philosophers. To Theophrastus however he accords the title Father of Botany. From this opinion far from having been newly promulgated in Linnaeus's time there has been no dissenting voice. On the contrary Albert Haller one of the most learned men in Europe in his day and a botanist of such renown that Linnaeus held him in reverence and also in some fear denominates Theophrastus "the first of real botanists in point of time." Kurt Sprengel in the nineteenth century having rehearsed the names of a long line of ancient authors who had written more or less concerning plants says: "But the most illustrious of them all and the true father of botany was Theophrastus Eresius…." Greene Landmarks of Botanical History I:128.It is no wonder that Linnaeus should find in Theophrastus the Father of his own field - The "Historia Plantarum" was not only the earliest work on systematic botany it also contained Theophrastus' description of the formation of the plant seed the earliest account known and the best that was made for 2000 years.Hunt: 240; Pritzel: 9197; BM: V:2091; Dibdin: II:498. hardcover

Very scarce edition of Theophrastus' two main works. It is one of the earliest Latin editions of Gaza's esteemed translation in reality it is the third printing of the first Latin edition first issued 1483 then 1529 in 8vo and now 1534 of the works which together constitute the foundation of scientific botany. By Linnaeus Theophrastus is called "the father of Botany". This edition comprises both botanical works The History of Plants and The Causes of Plants which have survived in their entirety and are the earliest books of this kind in world literature."It is very strange that so much botanic knowledge should have been accumulated by the end of the fourth century and that so little if anything was added to it in ancient times. Theophrastos is not only the first botanic writer but also the greatest until Renaissance of the sixteenth century in Germany.The botany of Theophrastos and the zoölogy of Aristotle represents the climax of natural history in antiquity." Sarton in A History.Vol. I p. 558. "No study of plants of such breadth and quality had previously been conceived: botany now first appears as a distinct science with a comprehensive yet clearly defined field of enquiry." A.G.

1688ref. 27999Paris Estienne Michallet 1688. Cont. full calf. 5 raised bands on back back richly gilt all edges of boards gilt. Lacking leather at capitals front-hinge cracked so cords are showing. Second or third printing of the original edition. The title-page states "seconde edition" but it is probably the third printed in the same year as the first and second being a page-by-page re-impression of the second except for the fact that corrections have been made and the errata-leaf is thus not printed in the third. Both the second and third original editions are from the same year and by the same printer as the first. "La seconde édition également impr. en 1688 n'offre que quelques légers changements. et la troisième sous la même date ne qu'une simple réimpression de la seconde." Brunet III:720. This work includes the first French translation of Theophrast's Characters and probably the first translation into any modern language. "Theophraste a eu le grand honneur comme on sait d'être ttraduit au XVIIe siècle par La Bruyère: et c'est pourquoi en France plus que dans tout autre pays en dehors même du cercle des érudits son nom et son opuscule sont populaires." navarre Budé-edition of "Caractères" Paris 1920.Jean de la Bruyère 1639/1644 - 1996 was a very famous French moralist and writer. "C'est au commencement de 1688 que parut la premiere édition des "Caractères de Théophraste traduits du grec ou les Mæurs de ce siècle." L'auteur mettait ses propres observations sur la société moderne sous le patronage d'un ancien." N.B.G. p. 427. The "Characters" gave La Bruyère quite a few enemies and created furor in the learned world. In Denmark Holberg calls him "trivial and simple" Epistle 404. "Mais si en effet la malignité contemporaine applaudissant aux traits satiriques de l'ouvrage a peu contribuer à sa vogue le jugement de la postérité l'a consacré comme un des meilleurs livres de notre langue." N.B.G. p. 427. This work is thus still considered to be one of the greatest French books. Voltaire writes in "Siecle de Louis XIV c. XXXII": "On peut compter parmi les productions d'un genre unique les "Caractères" de La Bruyère. Un style rigide concis nerveaux des expressions pittoresques un usage tout nouveau de la langue mais qui n'en bless pas les règles frappèrent le public". Bruyère's work with the translation really did cause astonishment and had an immense impact on late 17th century Europe and onwards; it created a new literary genre in Europe and the age of Enlightenment was delighted with the short precise characterizations of people and their customs.

First few leaves with minor soiling but otherwise a nice and clean copy. 19th century owner's inscription to inside of front cover: "Colegii Thomani". Lovely woodcut opening initial. Beautiful Greek script. 48 ff. Extremely scarce first edition thus containing all of Theophrastus' 23 characters in Greek and Latin being the first edition of Auberius' excellent Latin translation and first edition with Lycio's interesting commentaries. "This very rare edition which presents us with the Greek text of H. Stephan Stephanus contains a new Latin version by Claudius Auberius who was scarcely twenty years of age when he composed it. The notes are critical and historical; sometimes bold but always erudite. This version and these notes were republished in Zuinger's edition of Aristotle's "Ethics" at Basil. fol. 1582." Dibdin II:500. This version of Theophrastus' milestone work the first recorded attempt at systematic character writing became hugely influential and is still referred to in modern editions of the text as Auberius' translation is regarded as one of the best and most important interpretations of the text. Claude Aubery or Claudius Auberius ca. 1540-1596 was a noted philosopher and medical doctor professor of Philosophy in Lausanne. He translated several Greek texts into Latin but is best remembered for his excellent version of Theophrastus' "Characters" which was highly influential throughout the Renaissance and which was incorporated into later Renaissance Aristotle-editions as the standard-version of Theophrastus' text. Theophrastus ca. 371- ca. 287 BC Aristotle's successor at the Lyceum and probably the most famous Aristotelian of all times successfully presided over the Peripatetic School for 36 years and here wrote a number of works. The most famous of them is arguably his great moral opus "The Characters" which continues to amaze readers to this day. It introduced the "character sketch" which became the core of the Character as a genre and as such it influenced the entire literay tradition of the Western world. The fabulous very witty astute harsh and insightful characteristics of type characters of the human race have been formative for our understanding of moral virtues and vices and how they come to be expressed in man for our understanding of human nature in general. It is no wonder that the work became so popular and widely read during the Renaissance the era of man as the centre of the universe. "Le texte est le celui de Henri Estienne insére dans l'édition d'Aristote de 1557 mais dans la version il suit pour la plupart ses propres conjectures" Graesse 7: 125.

Brunet III p.720. This work includes the first French translation of Theophrast's Characters and probably the first translation into any modern language.

Woodcut vignettes to title-pages and woodcut initials at beginning of both parts. 8 88; 270 pp 1 blank leaf 16 ff. of indexes and errata at end. Scarce first edition thus being the editio princeps of Casaubon's milestone-edition of the seminal work that is Theophrastus' "Characters" containing apart from the original Greek text and Casaubon's translation of it into Latin also Casaubon's highly important commentary of the text. "This edition which was frequently reprinted 1598-1612-1617-1638 &c. is in every respect worthy of the high reputation of Casaubon. Both the text and the notes have served almost every subsequent editor. The Commentary is a rich mine of Grecian literature. The editor availed himself of the use of four MSS. in the Palatine library". Dibdin.Theophrastus ca. 371- ca. 287 BC Aristotle's successor at the Lyceum and probably the most famous Aristotelian of all times successfully presided over the Peripatetic School for 36 years and here wrote a number of works. The most famous of them is arguably his great moral opus "The Characters" which continues to amaze readers to this day.

The fabulous very witty astute harsh and insightful characteristics of type characters of the human race have been formative for our understanding of moral virtues and vices and for how man expresses them for our understanding of human nature in general. It is no wonder that the work became so popular and widely read during the Renaissance the era of man as the centre of the universe. The French-English classical scholar and philologist Isaac Casaubon 1559 - 1614 was regarded by many of his time as the most learned man in Europe. He is famous for his magnificent commentaries and deep understanding of the texts that he edited translated and commented. His edition of Theophrastus's Characters is considered a work of breakthrough as it constitutes the first example of his peculiar style of illustrative commentary at once apposite and profuse. This work is generally considered to exhibit his most characteristic excellences as a commentator.The present edition came to exercise a profound influence upon the interpretation of Theophrastus' great work. Casaubon's commentary served as the standard commentary for centuries and his translation remains a standard translation of the text. The present work thus remains a primary reference and a primary source when reading the work today.The commentary provided much commentary on Athenian society and the translation popularized the text making it available to modern Renaissance readers. Due to the excellent manner of translation into Latin the first English and French translations of this foundational text were enabled.The work was reprinted numerous times and kept appearing for centuries.
