Rarely seen in the marketplace this collection of Greek texts printed in the exquisite Estienne "grecs du roi" type includes four parts: the 23 "Characters" of Theophrastus along with that author's essay on the senses and perception; the pseudo-Aristotle "De Mirabilibus Auscultationibus" "On Marvellous Things Heard"; and an essay on springs rivers and pools by the first century A.D. Greek philosopher Sotion. In "Characters" Theophrastus ca. 371 - ca. 287 B.C. delineates such human foibles as gossiping grumbling and boasting while the text once attributed to Aristotle is a series of anecdotes about inexplicable phenomena in the natural world a genre of classical literature known as paradoxography. The classical texts are followed by the critical notes of Henri Estienne 1528 or 1531-91 who rivaled Aldus Manutius in combining publishing with scholarship. In discussing this work Dibdin says "whatever H. Stephen did is worth consulting." Henri also contributed to the typography used here the smallest size of the "grecs du roi" cut for his father Robert by Claude Garamond--it is based on the Greek script written by the precocious Henri when he was 10 years old.

Contemporary mottled paneled calf raised bands on spine gilt lettering & stamped decoration on spine minor scuffing edgewear slight bumping to a couple corners expert repair to the spine still a VG copy. Second edition in English significantly revised updated and translation improved from the first edition in English which had been largely taken from the 7th French edition of this important work which delivered a biting and often satriical critique of the French nobility under Louis XIV. Bruyere first issued this original expansion of Theophrastus’s work of Essays on the Ethical Characters updating and refining the ancient work into a series of observations on the luxurious lifestyle of nobles in contrast to the gritty and harsh realities of everyday people working men & women and peasantry. The work proved to be wildly popular after publication and within the author’s lifetime earned the original French publisher a profit of 300000 Francs. By this final edition Bruyere’s original work had been expanded to 1120 fragments and 16 thematic sections. See: Wing L105.

Usually attributed to Aristotle it is now thought to be the work of the peripatetic scholar and pupil of Aristotle Theophrastus.''As the author states at the end of the treatise it is intended rather to supply data for a detailed examination into the scientific theory of colour than to expound a complete thesis. He has realized that the development of colour in animals and plants depends to some extent on heat and he seems to suggest that heat and moisture are the controlling factors. It is of more value as a collection of observed facts than for any theory of the origin and development of colour in physical life'' Aristotle Minor Works Cambridge and London Loeb Classical Library 1936 p. 3.With some spotting on the title-page and some marginal tears not approaching the text but otherwise in very good condition and with large margins.
