1564ref. 60128vo. 112 ff pages 2 and 110-112 are blank. Bound in modern paneled calf with gilt-stamped fleurons on front and back covers raised bands. Generally good. The first edition of this plague treatise by Paracelsus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim 1493-1541 the "Luther of Medicine" and one of the key figures in the history of medicine. Written originally in Nördlingen in 1529-1530 it remained unpublished during Paracelsus' lifetime and subsequently taken up and edited for publication by the Paracelsian scholar Adam von Bodenstein 1528-1577. The latter dedicated it to Johann Rudolph Stör von Störenberg Abbot of Murbach and Luders. In addition to the study on pestilence the text includes two short works by Paracelsus: "Vom Preservatiff durch den Schwebel" and "Von der Mummia." In the primary tract Paracelsus for the first time presents his complex theory on the origins of the plague which he believed were the result of astrological and corporeal events set in motion by human sins. "This anthropocentric view of an individual disease is in harmony with Paracelsus' whole philosophy and indeed with Renaissance philosophy in general" Pagel p. 179. Paracelsus also postulates the importance of the principle of sulphur the corresponding agent of the planet Mars in pestilence's causation. He believed that sulphur hidden in three minerals—antimony arsenic and marcasite—affected three corresponding organs: the groin the axillae and the ears. The chapters on causation are followed by sections on remedies. The doctor must cure the agent causing the disease rather than the symptoms of the disease Paracelsus writes. Humoral pathology and its insistence on diet is of no use. "Paracelsus' plague remedies include sulphur spirit of vitriol sulphur sublimate and metals also—for external treatment of boils—toads and decoctions of beetles designed to remove the evil of magnetic attraction but herbs and drugs as prescribed by Ficino and Agrippa are greatly amplified and still appear in a prominent place" Pagel pp. 180-181 n. 151. The editor of this volume Adam von Bodenstein was one of the key figures in the revival of Paracelsian ideas in the German lands in the middle of the sixteenth century. A son of a radical reformer he believed in transmutation of metals into gold and played a key role in the publication of over 80 works by Paracelsus. For his Paracelsianism he was excluded from the faculty and council of Basel University. OCLC records US copies at NYAM NLM Wash. U and UMn.

From the library of a notable--and perhaps notorious--classical scholar this is an important edition of the Greek philosopher's "Characters" with Isaac Casaubon's revisions to his translation and commentary of 1592 and the addition of five sections printed here for the first time that Casaubon had recently discovered at the Palatine Library. One of the earliest known works of psychology "Characters" contains pithy descriptions of the various types of human foibles noted by the Oxford Companion for their "remarkable vivacity and keenness of observation." A pupil of Aristotle and the master's successor as head of the school of Peripatetic philosophy Theophrastus ca. 371 - ca. 287 B.C. wrote widely on a number of subjects ranging from ethics to physics to botany he is considered the "father" of the last discipline. He would have considered these descriptions of such characters as "The Flattering Man" "The Stupid Man" and "The Oligarch" a minor work but it is one that has weathered the centuries. The present translation and commentary marked a milestone in the life of the great classical scholar Isaac Casaubon 1559-1614. Sandys says "It is not until we reach his commentary on the 'Characters' of Theophrastus 1592 that we find a work that is marked by his distinctive merit an interpretation of a text of the most varied interest founded on wide reading and consummate learning. It was a work that won the highest praise from Scaliger." Dibdin called the commentary "a rich mine of Grecian literature." Former owner Richard François Philippe Brunck 1729-1803 was a classical scholar of considerable note who devoted his leisure to the critical revision of the Greek poets. According to Britannica "He spent considerable sums of money in publishing editions of the Greek classics." Flaunting the established mode of editing and criticism he did not hesitate to make clarifying changes to difficult or inscrutable passages of text--whether these alterations were supported by manuscript authorities or not. Deprived of his royal pension by the French Revolution Brunck was forced to sell portions of his library in 1790 and again in 1801. Excudebat Guichard Julliéron apud Antoine de Harsy unknown
